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

Chapter 165 The shadow of the tree is the name of the person!
Japan's land area is not large, smaller than China's Yun Province, and 75% of the country's land is mountainous and hilly that is not suitable for economic activities, industrialization, and growing food. However, it has a population of 1.2 million, and the population density has reached 2.5 times that of China.

This is a very scary number, which means that if you don’t do it, others will.

The Japanese government is obviously aware of this problem and is also trying every means to create jobs. One example is the music industry.

In the Japanese music industry, 66% of sales come from physical records, but this phenomenon does not occur naturally due to market rules.

It is impossible for businessmen to take the initiative to take the road of physical records, which is obviously more risky and costly. The reason why the Japanese music industry is still dominated by records is not only because many Japanese people really like to listen to physical records, but also because of the Physical records can create more upstream and downstream jobs. There is a pair of invisible hands doing regulation, but this is still not enough.

Japan has 1.2 million people. On average, the population density has reached 2.5 times that of China. Among them, million people are crowded in the Tokyo metropolitan area!
Employment pressure is very high.

In the lecture theater, Deputy Director Takahashi of NICO had just finished his lecture and was sitting there drinking tea. Many bold students were stumbling over each other, either by using [Game Signature] or [Junior Junior] status. He ran to get close to him, but Deputy Commander Takahashi didn't show any big airs.

This is normal. Today is the last day of Togei University's [Take Craft Festival], and because this year's festival is held later than in previous years, it is very close to the graduation of senior students and the entry of junior students to the internship stage. So today's lecture is more like a mini-campus recruitment held by NICO than a campus festival.

There was a lot of chatting on the stage, and at the back door, under the gaze of Fuyukawa Che, among the surging crowd, a cute little head with twin tails walked quickly up the stairs.

"Uncle Smelly! Stop Xiaokui quickly!!!"

However, Fuyukawa Che found that in her somewhat blurred eyes, there was not only the relaxation [after succeeding in becoming a thief], but also a little bit of disappointment [before evacuating the treasure before stealing it].

Thinking of this, Izumi Himawari's pretty face turned even redder, and she could only feel the excited heartbeat dancing on her ears, but...
The dirty uncle’s look is too mean!

"you!"

"Ah! Don't say that! That means after getting in the car! This... hiss - this is a lecture theater!!!"

"That's pretty much it."

"Huh? Is this the attitude of asking for help?"

With a smile on his lips, Fuyukawa Che leaned forward slightly, looked down and smiled: "Oh? It turns out Xiaokui doesn't like it, so I won't press it anymore."

The strange movement disappeared, Izumi Himawari relaxed and glared at him fiercely.

Feeling the ridicule in Fuyukawa Che's eyes, Izumi Himawari was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was about to say "I don't need Uncle Se's help", but at this moment, the strange excitement just now came to my heart.

She quietly glanced at the classmates around her to make sure no one was too close, then her face turned red, her fingers nervously played with the hem of her hip-covering sweatshirt, and she shyly whispered, "Please, Master. "

"Okay, I'll go out and buy it for you later." Seeing the "is this right" expression on Izumi Himawari's cute little face, Fuyukawa Che shook his head with a smile, and then glanced at the distance looking for Mr. Takahashi. The two senior students who spoke to me asked, "Do you need to go say hello to your senior students? Or should you just go get your luggage?"

Sure enough, the purer the appearance of a woman, the heavier the taste in her heart.

I was very eager in my heart, but also very unhappy. Fuyukawa Che's eyes were like a cat catching a little mouse. Izumi Himawari blushed and shook her little head arrogantly: "The smelly uncle is the smelly uncle, Xiaokui, don't pay attention to you! I want to." Please treat Xiaokui to the boba milk tea in the alley!"

Needless to say, her appearance is innocent and cute. Today she is still wearing a cute black hip-covering sweatshirt. Her slender thighs are wrapped in gray leggings. Coupled with this arrogant expression with a blushing face, It's really very lethal.

Listening to this soft plea for mercy, Fuyukawa Che, who was wearing a fat scarf and only exposed the part above his nose, became even more excited. However, when he saw that the girl was already swaying and her slender legs were about to become X-shaped, he still smiled and turned off the Ultra indicator light.

The innocent little lolita with twin tails is in a crowded classroom again.

Several male classmates nearby were confused. However, they have been together day and night for a year, and her super good looks and lethality have little effect on Fuyukawa Che.

"Huh-huh! Uncle Sexy!"

"Haha, please, but what you said is [as long as I come to pick up Xiaokui today, I can let uncle play as he wants today]."

He rushed to Fuyukawa Cheru in a hurry, feeling the still vibrating ruby, and looking at the classmates who were looking at him curiously. Izumi Himawari's face was flushed, shy and nervous, her legs were trembling slightly, and when she saw Fuyukawa Cheru's eyes After being teased, her face turned even redder.

It's a completely different feeling than coming by myself, and I have to go to the car later.

"Well, I almost forgot, my dormitory key is still with Makise-senpai. Uncle, please wait for me."

Saying that, Izumi Himawari turned around and ran down the stairs to the podium like a little top.

"This girl is still so reckless."

Looking at the cute back of the other party, Fuyukawa Che shook his head with a smile, pulled up his scarf, and casually found a seat next to him to sit down. At this moment, a surprised and slightly surprised voice came from the left.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Fuyukawa from NTsoft?"

"Ok?"

Looking sideways, he saw a middle-aged man with a big belly standing next to him. It could be seen that he seemed to have just come in through the back door, and his movements were still as if he were going down the stairs. However, when he saw Fuyukawa Che, the pot-bellied middle-aged man took back his steps and looked at him with some surprise.

He didn't know this person, but Fuyukawa Che nodded politely, "I'm Fuyukawa, who are you?"

"It's Mr. Fuyukawa! That's great! Hello, hello, I am the director of Shanmu Game Company - Kozo Oda. This is my business card." The face of the fat middle-aged man Kozo Oda was full of smiles.

The minister of Fir?
Or in the handheld department?
After hearing the other party's self-introduction and looking at the business card in his hand, Fuyukawa Che was slightly stunned, but he soon understood.

SATE, Juyin, and NICO are now the three largest console manufacturers, but in the early days of the game industry, the pattern was not like this.

The three most popular game companies at the time were SATE, NICO and Shanmu.

At that time, the three companies were equally matched in terms of game quality, company influence, and talent pool. However, due to company decision-making problems, Shanmu's vitality was severely damaged after several major hits died suddenly.

How serious is this injury, or in other words, how violent the fir tree was before. To put it simply, a big reason why NTsoft has become a major first-tier game company in Japan is because it took the opportunity to poach many of Shanmu's top game producers.

However, after all, it is a large manufacturer with a profound heritage. After so many years, Shanmu has also recovered and has released several classic works in the past few years. However, Shanmu, which has spit out the dividends of the times, will definitely no longer be able to stand side by side with SATE and NICO.

Now Shanmu has just caught up with NTsoft in terms of size, and has completely given up on the home console field. It is currently only focusing on the PC and handheld fields, but it is also suppressed by NICO in the handheld field.

Handheld field
minister
Where did this guy find out that I was coming to Dongyi University today?
Looking at the smiling Oda Kozo in front of him, Fuyukawa Che's eyes turned serious and his brain was working rapidly!
This is definitely not a chance encounter!
Not to mention, although Shanmu is not a giant in the game industry now, it is definitely ranked among the first-tier manufacturers. And even if ministerial figures in such companies want to participate in campus recruitment, they must be in formal campus recruitment meetings. Not at this kind of campus festival.

Moreover, the person speaking in this lecture theater is NICO’s Vice President Takahashi!
Shanmu's two biggest enemies are NTsoft, which spent a lot of money poaching their game producers, and NICO, which is crazily suppressing them in the handheld field!

In this case, how could the director of Shanmu [walk] to this lecture theater?
"There are two possibilities. One is that he wants to give NICO eye drops! Now everyone in the game industry knows that I want to go solo, and game sales cannot be separated from the game platform. He may think that I will side with NICO. At this time, he Contacting me openly will make NICO wary and re-evaluate my value. The advantage of doing this is that it will disgust NICO and make them pay more, and it will sell me a good cause for no reason. Future cooperation may pave the way.

This is possible, but although Shanmu has been suppressed by NICO in recent years, whether it is from the investment in R&D funds or the efforts to attract game producers, it can be seen that they have the ambition to climb to the top. So the purpose of his special trip this time should be more than that, and more likely to express his stance to me! He wanted to tell me this way that they are not afraid of competing with NICO.

It seems that the fish has taken the bait. "

In the flash of lightning, there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but when he thought of this, looking at the chubby Oda Kozo in front of him, a smile flashed in Fuyukawa Che's eyes.

Yes, hooked!

Although I didn’t expect that people from Sugi would come to Togei University today, and I didn’t expect that the director would be the one to take action during the first meeting, but the offline trial from Sekiro will be a hit, and I am sure that I can make games immediately after flying solo from NTsoft. From that moment on, he, Che Fuyukawa, was laying out the gaming platform!
However, unlike when contacting the host platform, he took the initiative to contact Juyin. When facing the handheld platform, he adopted a standstill!

In fact, strictly speaking, whether it is falling in love or doing business, it is all about supply and demand.

Although Juyin also lacks games and SATE to compete for the market, Juyin is, after all, a super giant with a market value of three trillion. It holds a large number of classic IPs and top studios, and in the competition for the last console, SBOX There is not a big gap between PH.

In this case, as long as the general environment remains unchanged, Fuyukawa Che is destined to be unable to get too many benefits from Juyin no matter what means he uses, and he will only get less from PH, but the handheld platform different!
Although Shanmu has regained some strength now and focuses on the handheld platform, it is still very uncomfortable to be squeezed by SATE's PP series and NICO's WS series on the handheld platform!
I am not in a hurry to get new games onto the handheld platform, but Shanmu’s handheld platform is in urgent need of excellent games!

And needless to say, the four games he made previously were all small in size and had low configuration requirements. They were very suitable for porting to handheld platforms. However, NTsoft’s handheld partner was NICO.

This year, although it was not his Fuyukawa Che's original intention, Shanmu was still overwhelmed by the four games he logged into the NICO platform. And now that the other party came to look for him, it was obvious that he did not know where he heard him from. I was going to come to Dongyi University, and Dongyi University happened to have NICO’s recruitment lecture today, so I couldn’t sit still due to the misunderstanding.

There are some mistakes, but the people in Shanmu can't sit still, which is definitely a good thing!

Thinking of this, Fuyukawa Che stood up and stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Oda from Sugi. I have admired your name for a long time. I really didn't expect to meet you at Deputy Minister Takahashi's lecture. What a coincidence. ."

He is indeed a man with a sharp mind.

With a word from Deputy Commander Takahashi and a pause in speaking, Oda Kozo knew that Fuyukawa Cheru had understood the meaning of his coming today.

A strong emotion of appreciation flashed in his eyes, he shook hands and said with a smile: "Haha, it is indeed a coincidence. I am also a graduate of Dongyi University, and this time I was invited to participate in some activities in the evening. I just happened to see it when I passed by the back door. Your figure has just come to pay me a visit. I hope I didn’t disturb Mr. Fuyukawa.”

There are a lot of reasons, but both parties know that these are just words.

After chatting for a while, Oda Kozo turned his head to look at Deputy Commander Takahashi who was still chatting with his junior students on the podium. He looked at the word NICO on the banner. A strong displeasure flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around. He looked at Fuyukawa Che and laughed softly: "I heard that Mr. Fuyukawa's new work Sekiro will be released in the first half of next year. Gee, it takes more than a year to make a 3A masterpiece. Mr. Fuyukawa's ability is real I admire you so much."

Dongchuan Che smiled and shook his head: "Wherever it goes, making it is one thing, but selling it well is the key."

"This should be the least of Mr. Fuyukawa's worries. Haha, if you want to say that the person who can best grasp the needs of players in the current gaming industry is none other than Mr. Fuyukawa." At this point, Oda Kozo smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, this One year ago, we at Shanmu were also miserably suppressed by Mr. Fuyukawa. I just don’t know, Mr. Fuyukawa, could you tell me whether you or NTsoft still have the willingness to produce low-cost works recently, so that we at Shanmu can adjust the game schedule? , to avoid fearless diversion.”

His attitude was very low, but it was obvious that there was something in his words.

The other party wanted to confirm whether he really wanted to leave NTsoft, and whether he would make a small-scale work that was more suitable for the handheld platform!

Looking at Oda Kozo's fat face with a smile on his face, Fuyukawa Che said with a smile: "Okay, Minister Oda. I know very well what you mean by coming here today. And... you must have thoroughly studied me, Fuyukawa Che, before coming here. , it should also be clear that I am a person who doesn’t let go of the rabbit before he sees the rabbit. Let’s put it this way, I don’t mind cooperating with Shanmu, even if it may offend NICO, I don’t care, but..."

At this point, the smile on Fuyukawa Che's face completely disappeared, "First, I want to know the functions of the new generation of handheld consoles you are about to release. Of course, you can sign a confidentiality agreement for this. Second, the platform will take a commission. I’ll give you ten percent.”

"Ten percent?!"

Looking at Fuyukawa Che's sharp eyes, Oda Kozo was stunned for a moment.

Even though he had known for a long time that Fuyukawa Che was a powerful man with extremely strong professional abilities and great ambitions, the 10% commission from the platform still made him completely numb!
You must know that the commission for the PC platform is around 30%, and the commission for the handheld platform can often be more than half, while Cheru Fuyukawa only gives a commission of 10% for the platform!
This commission, after excluding various operating costs, their fir tree can't make much money at all!

Obviously, Fuyukawa Che knew this, and he dared to ask for a 10% share even though he knew all this.

"Is he still confident about his next work?!"

The shadow of the tree, the name of the person!
In view of Fuyukawa Tetsu's strong performance in the past, Oda Kozo hesitated when faced with such an exaggerated and even arrogant request. At this moment, the entire lecture theater suddenly boiled.

Under the frowning gaze of Oda Kozo, Vice-Chancellor Takahashi, who had been on the podium, walked quickly over under the gaze of everyone in the classroom.

"What are you going to do, Mr. Takahashi?"

"I don't know... Is that Mr. Oda? I went to see his lecture before, why is he here?"

"Mr. Oda?"

"He's the director of Shanmu Company! He's a real big shot! Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Oda and Mr. Takahashi here at the same time. I'd better hurry up and get familiar with each other."

"It's useless to look familiar. I hear enough flattery from my company leaders every day. Hey, what's going on? Who is that man? Mr. Takahashi actually bowed to him?!"
