Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 160 The Idol Master!

"Good morning Mr. Fuyukawa~~~"

"."

The ring is fat and the swallow is thin, making a loud noise.

Looking at the two rows of girls in the corridor who were bowing respectfully and whispering softly, Fuyukawa Che felt numb.

However, feeling the adoring gazes of these girls, he was not too surprised.

Except for the core members of top groups such as AKB48, other idols in Japan belong to the bottom of the entertainment industry and earn very little money. After all, the entry threshold for the idol industry is very low. The only hard requirement for entering the industry is probably beauty. , and beauty is such a thing.
To put it cruelly, beauty and even sex have never been scarce resources for the middle and upper classes.

If it’s not scarce, it’s not expensive.

Even though these girls are all dressed up in glamorous clothes, in fact their income may not be as much as that of ordinary working people, and their daily lives are miserable haha.

A man who is short of money will naturally long for money, even a man who has money.

In the locker room, several little girls chatted nonchalantly.

While wearing stockings, she turned to look at the girl who was taking off her clothes, and murmured in a low voice: "It feels like it's not just because of status. Qingyin Girl will be released this afternoon. If the game company spends 100 or 200 million, it is probably the same." Invite him to come over for final inspection, and then pay attention to some feedback from early players. Tsk tsk tsk, a big shot is a big shot. Only a big leader like Honda's executive can invite him. Hey, speaking of it, what do you think about this game? How many sales will the game achieve in the end?”

"It shouldn't be a sudden death. My cousin said that his Fuyukawa Che's name is worth at least 200,000 units in sales, so the company should have no problem repaying the money. However, if it can't make much money, it will probably affect the company's His attitude towards Izumi-chan."

"Then if the game dies suddenly"

It's like a blind man touching an elephant.

"Sales volume? Who can guess this, but my cousin said that there are many colleagues in the gaming industry in SATE who are not very optimistic about this game. Didn't ABK101 release a similar game before?
At that time, they won various awards and became a phenomenon, but the final sales volume of that game only just exceeded one million, and the sales volume of the sequel dropped directly to 130,000. The company is looking for him specially now, so he is probably a little nervous. "

The round-faced girl is numb, but the straight black one is fine.

"Scared, 44440 billion?! Is it true?!"

People cannot make money beyond their knowledge, and people cannot make correct judgments with too little information.

".OK."

Walking back to the dressing room, the round-faced girl was startled. At this moment, a girl next to her who was taking off her clothes interrupted: "Of course it's true. My cousin works at SATE. I heard from her that she will enter the next semester. Half a year later, except for their company’s CEO Sato who went crazy, other game manufacturers were trying to avoid his works. So, even though he looks young, he is actually already a big shot, even if you haven’t seen it. Is it the Honda executive who personally meets you?”

There is a high probability that the sales of the light-music girls will not hit the market. They are relatively different, but even if the light-music girls hit the market, it will not affect the relationship between Sistar and Fuyukawa Teru, because
Sistar wants to enter the gaming industry!

Deputy Commander Tanaka seemed to be very satisfied with his arrangement. He frowned and said flatteringly: "Oh, when I heard that Mr. Fuyukawa was coming over today, the girls in the company couldn't hold it in anymore! Haha, it's really a young man. Promising social elite! Come on, come on, Mr. Fuyukawa, the Honda representative has been waiting for you for a long time."

Fuyukawa Che was not surprised by the respect from these girls, but felt a little speechless for having such a big battle so early in the morning.

The girl who was taking off her clothes was talking nonchalantly, while the round-faced girl was completely numb at this time, with "40 billion" written all over her pretty big eyes.

These little girls are at the grassroots level of the company, and all the information they know is either scattered or processed second-hand. In this case, although some of their judgments are correct, there is something wrong with the entire direction!

Of course, Fuyukawa Che didn't know about their conversation, or in other words, he didn't care even if he knew about it.

Next to him, a JK girl with long black hair and straight hair who looked like a college student smiled and said: "That's right. Last time I went to the Qingyin Girls to make a guest appearance, I happened to meet him picking up Izumi-chan. It was the first time I met him at that time He was also shocked in person. But appearance and temperament are not the key. The key is that he is really super capable. I heard that he brought more than 40 billion in sales to NTsoft this year. !”

Very disgusting flattery, Cheru Fuyukawa looked a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and nodded with the girls on both sides, and then followed Deputy Director Tanaka to the special office, and until his tall back disappeared at the corner of the corridor, he was chattering. Only then did the sound sound.

Recalling the smile Fuyukawa Che had just shown to her in her mind, a round-faced girl wearing a black and white maid outfit said excitedly.

"Mr. Fuyukawa is more handsome than I thought! His temperament is too mature. Is he really only twenty-five years old?!"

Following Deputy Chief Tanaka around the office building, Che Fuyukawa, wearing a suit and collar, arrived at the office not long after.

"Mr. Fuyukawa, I have long admired you! I, Honda Toranosuke! Welcome to visit Sistar despite your busy schedule."

As soon as he entered the office, a short but stocky man with a big head and his hair slicked back with hair wax quickly walked out from behind the desk.

The Honda executive had a very cordial smile on his face and his attitude was very low-key. However, seeing his appearance, Che Fuyukawa narrowed his eyes slightly.

Honda's salesperson's attitude is very low!
Although Sistar is not comparable in size to NTsoft, its expertise is expertise!
The executive is a real company executive, four levels higher than Miyano Miwa's position and six levels higher than himself, and the other person obviously knows that he is leaving NTsoft!
Under such circumstances, there is no reason for Honda’s sales representative to be so cordial, and even cordial to the point of being somewhat respectful!
"Test my character?"

In his previous life, Fuyukawa Che also started from scratch and had contact with many investors at that time.

Many investors not only look at the type of company and its potential, but also look at the character of the person at the helm!
And how to judge people’s character?
Three visits to the thatched cottage is the most typical example.

Some people will deliberately put on a cool face, some people will deliberately put on airs, and some people will deliberately find fault, or even curse, but the Honda executive did this, obviously because he wanted to test whether he, Fuyukawa Cheru, had drifted away!

Fuyukawa Che, who was in working mode, turned his head very quickly and quickly made a preliminary judgment on the situation, but this was still just an appearance! "Testing is definitely a temptation, but it is only done with a purpose."

"It seems that this guy really wants to talk to me about some key topics today."

"The key topic can only be cooperation after my solo career."

Thinking of this, Fuyukawa Che narrowed his eyes slightly for a moment and then quickly released them. He smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with the Honda executive, "Hey, Izumi, thanks to your care during this period, I should have taken the initiative to visit you. , but I was really too busy at work this year at NTsoft. Basically, I was working on two or three works at the same time, and I couldn’t take time off at all. I hope Honda’s manager Haihan will do it.”

"It's okay. Izumi-san is the hottest newcomer in the company right now, and the company also needs to rely on her. Haha, Mr. Fuyukawa, please have a seat."

It's really not easy for a man to understand my behavior so quickly, and to be able to work together and gain a foothold in the mixed environment of NTsoft!

Looking at the smile on Fuyukawa Che's side face, the Honda representative who led Fuyukawa Che towards the sofa showed a little surprise and more appreciation in the smile on his face.

Not only him, but Ms. Mori, who had been sitting on the sofa drinking tea and then stood up to shake hands with Fuyukawa Che, also had a glint of appreciation in her eyes!
They are all foxes of thousands of years. From Fuyukawa Che's expressions and a few words, she, Ms. Maori, judged that Fuyukawa Che understood the current situation, and there was something in Fuyukawa Che's words!

What a year at NTsoft!
The meaning of this sentence is equivalent to telling them that he, Fuyukawa Che, will leave NTsoft not far away, and the last sentence has two or three works on his body, showing off another wave of muscles!
"Strong decision-making, neither humble nor arrogant, incredibly talented, and as sharp as a beast in thinking. Tsk, no wonder he was able to backstab Asai and Xiaohe successfully. It's a pity that such a monster who is extremely sensitive to information has no desire to control. He is very strong and hates things that are beyond his control. There is a high probability that he will not let us invest in him."

Even as Sistar's pinnacle, as a well-known figure in the Japanese music industry, Ms. Mori felt a little emotional when faced with Fuyukawa Teru's quick reaction speed, and she was also thinking about it in her mind.

Yes, I invited Cheru Fuyukawa to come over today not only because Qingyin Shoujo is about to be released, but also because I want to take a side view and talk about Cheru Fuyukawa’s new company. After all, the current development speed of the game industry is so terrifying!

Last year, the global game market grew by 19.3% month-on-month!

The game market has a double-digit growth trend every year, while the growth rate of the music market in recent years has only reached a peak of 9.4%!

Sistar also wanted to get involved in the gaming industry, but the capital was not strong enough to compete with the big companies, so it wanted to invest in Fuyukawa Che, a potential stock that was about to start.

However, with just a little contact, Ms. Maori, who has been in the business world for more than fifty years and has a profound experience, roughly understands what kind of character Fuyukawa Che is.

"He has made a lot of money in NTsoft this year. He won't be too short of money in the initial stage. If he doesn't lack money, he won't let us invest in it. But he probably just doesn't need money. If he wants to develop several games at the same time, there will definitely be a lot of pressure. . Well, it shouldn’t be a big problem to collaborate with him on two more games, but if that’s the case, we have to look at the sales of Qingyin Shoujo before making a judgment, but hooks and sincerity should come first.”

Qingyin Girl will be released in a few hours. As a work invested by the company, Ms. Maori has naturally played it in advance.

To be honest, it is somewhat difficult for a person in her seventies to play a game similar to a high school daily series. Moreover, games are not her main field, so it is difficult for her to judge the quality of this game.

but
Music, novels, games, and film and television are all content industries, and what the content industries have in common is to capture market demand.

The daily life of high school students is a long-lasting theme in Japan. Of course, there is no precedent for high school students' daily games based on this type of live-action interactive movie to become popular, and she is not particularly confident, but...
"With his reputation and ability, he can always sell 200,000 units. You can throw out the sincerity and hook first."

The effect of showing sincerity before the game is released is completely different from showing sincerity after the game is released.

Thinking of this, Ms. Mori picked up the oolong tea and took a slow sip. While she was drinking the tea, the Honda executive who was chatting politely with Fuyukawa Che also saw this scene out of the corner of his eye.

signal!

Regarding today's meeting with Cheru Fuyukawa, both Ms. Mori, the Honda executive, and even the president of the company attached great importance to it, so they had already made several preparations!
Seeing Ms. Mori's actions, the Honda executive sitting opposite Fuyukawa Che on the sofa knew what was going on.

"The game will be released in one hour. It is really an honor for us at Sistar to cooperate with a top game producer like Mr. Fuyukawa."

With the kind words on his lips, the Honda executive showed a kinder smile. He took the cigarette from the table, handed one to Fuyukawa Che, and said with a smile: "I just don't know if Mr. Fuyukawa will continue in the future." Any ideas for making a game about this?"

after?

A smile flashed in Dongchuan Che's eyes. He actually saw the little interaction between the Honda executive and Ms. Maori just now, and he also understood what the Honda executive meant by these words.

It's nothing more than sincerity to express "Mr. Fuyukawa, we are very optimistic about you" in advance. If the conversation continues along with this, he, Fuyukawa Che, might have already found a partner before the new company is established.

Honestly, it's pretty good.

Although there are few hits in audio games, there is also one giant among idol games - Idol Master!
This game published by Bandai Namco is actually somewhat similar to Fate. Although the sales of the game are average, the game is only a launching point and anchor point.

If all songs, animations and other peripherals are included, the Idol Master IP can earn 600 billion yuan a year!

A very scary big IP, but the problem is that this IP not only relies on games, but also has to keep up with all aspects of animated songs, and it also needs to be operated for a long time, keep releasing songs, keep idols on the stand, and even It takes a concert to build up the IP.

He, Fuyukawa Che, didn't have that much money, energy and manpower in the early days. It would actually be great if he could cooperate with Sistar.

but
Thinking of this, Fuyukawa Che took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "If possible, of course I am still willing to cooperate with your company, but for now, let's take a look at the sales volume of Qingyin Girls."

The other party is willing to express sincerity because he obviously thinks that the sales volume of Qingyin Girls will not be too high. In this case, if we talk about the production of Idol Master, we must give the other party a profit!
In business, the other party only releases its sincerity after weighing the pros and cons. Naturally, he, Fuyukawa Che, also has to weigh the pros and cons!

You can get them dividends, but the big head and the initiative must be in your own hands, and whether this can be done
Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che turned his head and glanced at the clock on the wall.

There is only half an hour left before the release of Qingyin Girls!
