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

Chapter 200 Chapter 199: Buying a Property
Many industries in Japan seem counterintuitive to Chinese people.

The most typical example is music. Digital music is obviously easier and more convenient, and the cost and production chain are cheaper. The main cost comes from the maintenance cost of the music platform, but more than half of the profits of the Japanese music industry come from physical CD records.

Why is that?
It’s not about better taste, nostalgia, or craftsmanship. The reason is just two words—employment.

The production process of CD records is much longer than that of digital music. Although manufacturers need to bear greater risks, each of these processes can create a large number of jobs.

This is true for the production chain, and so is the sales terminal.

Online shopping in Japan is not very developed. In addition to political reasons such as maintaining employment, Japan's human resources are more expensive and express delivery prices are very high. Ordinary people may not find it cost-effective to use it.

Of course, no one can say for sure whether the path Japan is taking is the right one. After all, Japan’s economy has been lying there like a bastard for thirty years without moving, but it has actually promoted the prosperity of the real economy.

Online game platforms and offline physical stores are both important to Fuyukawa Che, and for Fuyukawa Che to hand over the management of offline physical stores to Amei.
"He is indeed a natural leader."

Watching Fuyukawa Teru and Amezana discussing the offline store plan next to them, Miyano Miwa was drinking beer and eating a meal, her drunken eyes full of love and appreciation. In her opinion, a man with ambition and skill is naturally very attractive, but if you want to be an excellent leader, ambition and skill alone are not enough.

There is no all-rounder in this world. The key to becoming a leader is to be able to calmly recognize your own shortcomings, know people well and make good use of them, and stimulate the motivation and cohesion of the entire team. In Miyano Miting's view, Amei, a woman, may not have any professional abilities, but she is definitely mentally tough enough and has no bad intentions.

Fuyukawa Teru's ideas were similar to Miyano Miwa's, and the relationship between the two parties was also very close. After one meal, he also passed on a lot of business knowledge to Mei. After hearing this, Amei stopped drinking and took out her mobile phone from her bag to put the serious record.

Too serious, making Fuyukawa Che dumbfounded.

After eating and chatting until after dinner, Amei and Keiko bowed again and left.

"Che-kun, you are so kind to Xiaoyezi."

Just as the sound of closing the door came, Sayoko stood up and turned around to straighten Fuyukawa Che's collar, with a shy smile on her face. To be honest, she is a housewife with weak vanity and just wants to live her own life, but how can a person have no vanity at all.

Fuyukawa Che's arrangement today not only made her sincerely happy for Amei and Keiko, but also made her feel very proud.

I still wanted to say something pretentious, but as soon as my red lips opened slightly, the big peach was pinched hard by Fuyukawa Che, and the flesh spilled out between his fingers, "Then, how are you going to repay tonight?"

With the dragon claw hand on the left, Fuyukawa Che had a mean smile on her face. Sayoko twisted her waist and said coyly: "You all listen to my brother."

The somewhat astringent conversation between the two was also heard by Miyano Miwa next to her. She also blushed. After all, the three of them are now inseparable. What's more, Fuyukawa Che didn't just grab Sayoko's big peach. .

"This bad guy."
.
Needless to say, Fuyukawa Che's life during this period was completely happy.

Not only because Izumi Himawari has been busy with studies recently, and Tsukitake Asuka also has to practice kendo every day, which makes the house more empty, but also because Miyano Miwai has been completely unlocked, and Miyano Miwai also bought a lot of sexy clothes. Especially the long strip-shaped cheongsam or kimono similar to Mai Shiranui.

Whether it is in the bedroom, washing vegetables in the kitchen, cleaning the bathtub in the bathroom, or even drying the quilt on the balcony or yard, you can open it and go in anytime and anywhere.

In addition, the two women were both thirty years old and lived like clams in salt water every day. Fuyukawa Che almost felt like he was living in a world full of wives. However, this kind of day did not last long.

As Ohara Chika's office building rental contract was almost negotiated and a new company was about to be established, Fuyukawa Che's focus in life returned to work.
.
Weekend, sunny afternoon.

Today's weather is not too hot, but the ultraviolet rays are very strong. Occasionally, a few beauties holding sun umbrellas pass by on the path outside the house, attracting the side glances of Xiaobai, who is lying at the door and yawning. Obviously, the dog follows its owner. Although it only has one eye, it still likes to look at beautiful women in short skirts.

In the quiet afternoon, the beautiful women passing by on the street had a very peaceful atmosphere. Xiaobai looked at them with relish, but soon, the noise coming from the house made his ears perk up slightly, and then he settled down speechlessly.

"Hey, hey, hey, I've already opened my own company, so I don't need to dress so formally anymore."

In front of the clothes rack mirror on the first floor, Fuyukawa Che was unhappily fixing the buttons of his royal blue polo shirt. Beneath him, Sayoko, a plump figure wearing a hip-hugging skirt, squatted on the ground to help him adjust his trousers. Hearing his complaints, Sayoko raised her head and pouted, "Today is the official day to sign the contract, so dress more formally. But it’s the most basic respect.”

".I'm really convinced."

Fuyukawa Che looked at the mirror, tilted his neck back, twisted the buttons on his collar with his fingers, and used the palm of his other hand to slightly adjust the [Urban Elite Man] hairstyle that Sayoko had been messing with for half an hour.

To be honest, this sapphire blue polo shirt, jeans, and this hairstyle are indeed very handsome and a bit like a domineering president, but...
Dongchuan Che's face was full of pain. They said that Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothes, but to be honest, he has no pursuit of clothes. In other words, it's not that he has no pursuit. He only wants to be clean and comfortable when wearing clothes.

Before, he wore suits and uniforms every day at NTsoft, which meant that he was working in someone else's company and had to abide by other people's rules when he was paid. But now that he has started his own business, how can he continue to wear suits? but.
Without the constraints of NTsoft, it can't escape Sayoko's clutches.
Sayoko's personality is more traditional female, gentle and virtuous. At home, the man is the main supporter, and she can do whatever she wants. This is a good thing for Fuyukawa Che, but at the same time, these traditions also make Sayoko pay more attention to these etiquettes than other women outside.

My balls ached, and I glanced down at Sayoko, who was squatting on the ground with her big peach in her mouth, adjusting her trousers. Fuyukawa Che's face felt both sore and full of love, and seeing his tangled look, she put on Miyano Miwa, who was wearing a white shirt and hip skirt with black stockings and wearing high heels next to her, smiled and joked: "Yesterday you asked us to do that shameful doggy style on the balcony and we didn't say anything. Now listen to us. Why don’t you change into formal clothes?”

".Okay, okay, it's all up to you."

Being scolded to the point of losing his temper, Fuyukawa Che could only shrug helplessly. At this moment, Sayoko also stood up to help him adjust his collar, and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, Miyano, this is not an exchange. Listen to Mr. Che, It's Sayoko's own choice, but as a man outside, face is very important. Okay, that's it, he's very handsome."

Looking up and down at the tall and tall Fuyukawa Che, Sayoko showed a satisfied smile on her face, and then she bent down and put on her high heels. At this time, Izumi Himawari and Tsukitake Asuka, who had changed their clothes, also came to the entrance.

Izumi Himawari did not wear a student uniform today, but put on a large white T-shirt and ultra-short denim hot pants. From the outside, only the edges of the jeans can be seen, and the slender thighs wrapped in stockings are completely exposed to the line of sight. Coupled with the two lively and cute twin ponytails hanging behind the head, the whole person gives a fresh look. Cute and lively feeling.

Yuezhu Asuka's dress is more everyday, with a black T-shirt and slim jeans, but because of her height of 1.76 meters, strictly speaking, she has the best combination of plumpness and slenderness among the women in the family.

Viewed from the back, just the high buttocks and slender waist wrapped in jeans can make people breathless.

"For this kind of thing, it doesn't matter if I don't go."

Standing in the entrance hall wearing Martin boots, Yuezhu Feiniao yawned while talking. She played the second round of FATE last night and played until 6 or 7 o'clock this morning before going to bed. As a result, she was woken up at about 10 o'clock. Now she still feels confused.

Xiao Yezi shook her head and said with a smile: "No, on a day like this, the family must be in order. What's more, if Mr. Che starts the company early, Yuezhu will be able to play interesting new games faster in the future. ”

"Well, that makes sense."

Hearing that there was a new game to play, Yuezhu Feiniao immediately became energetic.

Seeing her like this, Fuyukawa Che's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he shook his head with a smile.

Although Yuezhu Asuka goes to the gym at least three times a week to practice swordsmanship, she is essentially a gamer. Her own words describe it as "Kendo is really useless, but a healthy body can help me concentrate more when playing games".

It's a ridiculous reason, but it is indeed her biggest motivation for practicing kendo at the moment. As for Izumi Himawari, this guy simply likes to be around her. She will naturally not miss this big day of signing a contract.

Talking and laughing, with Fuyukawa Che petting Xiaobai's dog's head in front of the door, smiling and saying a few words to take good care of the house, the family of five got into a BMW and drove towards Akihabara.
.
Today is indeed a good day. The sun is so bright that it can reflect light on the leaves. The wind is also very strong. If you open the car window a little, you can hear the rustling of the big trees.

The weather is nice and it's the weekend, so the streets of Akihabara are crowded with people. Various maids and cosplayers are walking through the streets. Of course, there are also many students who come to buy game discs and peripherals.

However, compared to the time when the streets were full of Sekiro advertisements, now more than a month has passed and the popularity of Sekiro has gradually declined. Instead, the advertisements filling the buildings are NICO's escort masterpiece for its new handheld console - Fantasy 4.

Needless to say, because of the existence of fir trees in this world, although NICO is the well-deserved overlord of the handheld industry, he is not like Lao Ren in his previous life, and there is still a sense of tension.

This is a good thing.

Monopoly is a bad thing for small capitalists, and it is also a bad thing for players. Under Shanmu's urging, NICO's handheld console is much more powerful than the old Switch, and the development of new games does not dare to be like the Pokémon series, which has been consistent for ten years.

This otherworldly fantasy series is a top-notch open-world masterpiece with a style that is a bit closer to Final Fantasy, but a gameplay that is more like Zelda. Of course, its gameplay is not as free as Zelda's Breath of the Wild. After all, all the top games are unique creations of genius, and are not completely related to the level of technological development.

However, the previous games in this series are still very good, but the direction of excellence is different from Zelda. Otherwise, they would not have become popular around the world and become NICO's signature IP.

The co-pilot, Sayoko, said with some worry: "I heard that NICO has invested a lot in the fantasy of another world this time. I don't know if SATE's Dragon Age can beat them."

The quality of Escort masterpieces is a key factor in determining the sales of a handheld console, and the sales of handheld consoles will affect the sales of FATE and Stardew Valley.

Fuyukawa Che turned the steering wheel, looked at the parking space on the roadside, and said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous. SATE is the best we've ever played. If we can't beat it, it won't have much impact on us. Our current main battlefield is PC, okay. , we’re at our location, get off the car.”

After parking the car, Fuyukawa Che opened the door and got out of the car.

As soon as the door closed, a warm spring breeze with a hint of hot summer blew in his face, but he didn't care about it. He just looked past the crowd of people on the sidewalk and towards a five-story building on the other side of the crowd.

Land in Japan is privately owned, so it is difficult to demolish large-scale buildings and then concentrate the land to build large-scale commercial department stores like in China. This has caused the office buildings in Japan, especially in Akihabara, to be built although they do not occupy a large area. Very high.

The building in front of you is like this. The area itself is not too large. In addition, it is located next to the famous adult product M's Tower building, so it gives people the feeling of a long and narrow vertical rectangle.

Well, it’s a six-story building that sells color discs, gentlemen’s toys, lady’s toys, and all kinds of strange sundries, as well as sexy underwear and cosplay underwear [super building]. The plastic models in the glass windows facing the street are like Wearing sexy underwear so generously looks very visually impactful!

Ahem, the point is wrong.

Fuyukawa Che moved his eyes to the left from the wall-to-wall sexy underwear in M's Tower, and soon the narrow red five-story building came into view again.

In terms of size, this building is much slimmer than M's Tower, but it was once the office building of another game company, SAGE. The entire exterior wall is painted with red paint, which gives it a very stylish look. A sense of individuality. It's obvious that SAGE, which just went bankrupt, hasn't completely left here yet. There's still a huge poster of their company's beautiful girl posted on the outer wall.

"SAGE closed down like this. I didn't expect it."

Watching the workers tearing off the beautiful girl poster that represented SAGE Game Company's signature work bit by bit, Miyano Miwa shook her head with some sigh. Although SAGE, a game company that mainly produces Galgame and otome games, has not been on the front line, it can be regarded as a long-established game manufacturer in Japan. This game company existed when she was in junior high school. At that time, she envied the otome games played by her female classmates. "Love Event Book" was developed by this company.

The game company she loved as a child went bankrupt, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. But at the same time, this also proves that it is indeed not that difficult for a game company to survive in today's increasingly competitive society.

Not only Miyano Miwa, but also Izumi Himawari and Tsukitake Asuka, who originally thought this time was just a family dinner, looked much more serious. But at this time, Fuyukawa Che tugged on his collar and said with a smile: "Relax, It’s time to go see our Longxing Land.”

"This guy"

In the land of Longxing, with very confident words, looking at Dongchuan Che's back, the little haze that had just appeared in the four girls' hearts was swept away. They looked at each other with a smile and quickly followed Dongchuan Che's pace.
.
This building is a bit old, but SAGE was also wider back then. Although it only has five floors, including the underground parking lot, it has only six floors in total, and the area is not too large, but there is still an elevator inside. However, when going upstairs, Fuyukawa Che also met many SAGE employees who were clearing their luggage. It was obvious that they had not completely withdrawn from the company.

That's quite normal.

This building occupies not a large area, just over 500 square meters, and is relatively old. However, the location is very good. It is less than five minutes away from Akihabara Subway Station, and there are not only M's Tower, but also many other places nearby. The well-known Mandarake (Daheilou) is the world's most famous second-hand comic contract shop. It has everything from medieval Ultraman figures to Famicom cassettes.

All in all, this building is in a very good location and is a hot commodity. Of course, if Fuyukawa Teru is just making games, it doesn't matter whether he is here or not, but if he wants to develop the lower one or two floors of the building as a store, that is very important.

Taking the elevator, going upstairs quickly, Fuyukawa Che opened the door to the president's office not long after.

What came into view was Chika Ohara, who was sitting on the sofa and calmly drinking black tea. Opposite her, sat an old woman with a hairstyle of a lady from the last century, and a middle-aged man in a suit and collar.

There was only half of the red teapot left, and it was obvious that the three of them had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing this, Fuyukawa Che didn't even hold it, and quickly stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, "You must be Ms. Hiramoto. I am Fuyukawa, Fuyukawa Che. Please give me your advice."

"No, Mr. Fuyukawa is a rare talent in today's gaming industry, so there is no need to be too polite to an old woman like me."

Mother-in-law Hiramoto was also very polite. After shaking hands with Fuyukawa Teru, although her eyes were a little shocked, she still bowed politely to Sayoko and Miyano Miwa.

This mother-in-law Hiramoto is the owner of this building, or in other words, this building is the inheritance left to her by her deceased husband. As for the middle-aged man in a suit and collar next to him, he is a member of the small group of wives brought together by Miyano Miwa, Sato Fujiko and Ohara Chika - Koishi Ryoko's husband, who currently works at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. The position is minister.

Japan's banking system and corporate system are slightly different.

Like most Japanese companies, the ministers are promoted to the board of directors as executive directors, and Japan's large banks are basically affiliated with the six major chaebols. The chaebol is large, and the entire job system is also longer. From the director to the branch president, there are directors, executive officers, vice presidents, presidents, general managers, and presidents.

So strictly speaking, although Koishi Ryoko's husband is a minister, if we just talk about her rights within the company, her rights are not as great as Miyano Miwa's previous work at NTsoft. He also needs performance support to climb up, and one of the main businesses of a bank is lending.

When it comes to loans, we have to mention Japan’s [Lost Thirty Years].

A big reason for Japan's lost thirty years was that it was forced to sign the Plaza Accord, which led to the appreciation of the yen. Many people will be curious, if the Japanese yen is valuable, why will it cause Japan's economic collapse? Because the three pillars of the economy are investment, exports and consumption.

As the yen appreciates, the international price of Japanese goods will rise, making exports naturally difficult. When exports are difficult, orders will decrease, and Japanese capitalists will naturally start to "reduce costs and increase efficiency", even leading to the bankruptcy of a large number of factories. The consequence of bankruptcies and closures of factories is that ordinary people have less money in their hands, thus reducing their desire to consume.

This is a chain reaction. Of course, the "Lost Thirty Years" is a very complex issue, and any issue that can affect a country's national destiny is difficult to be determined by a single factor.

For example, in order to avoid a decline in export competitiveness, Japan later adopted a loose monetary policy and lowered loan interest rates, which caused some bubbles to take off directly and then turned into an invisible mushroom cloud exploding over Japan. However, those bubbles had nothing to do with Fuyukawa Teru and had anything to do with Fuyukawa Teru. What he was concerned with was the interest rate on bank commercial loans.

It is difficult for Japan to handle export orders. After all, the emperor lives on the east coast, so Japan can only work hard to stimulate investment and consumption, and one of the most effective means of stimulating investment and consumption is low-interest loans.

Sumitomo Bank's current commercial loan interest rate is 1.47%. The interest rate for a five-year loan is only 7%, which is not too exaggerated. This also helped him buy the building directly!

Normally, most companies rent properties. After all, the cost of buying a property is too high, and Japan is a seriously aging country. Even if Akihabara is located in a core area like Chiyoda City, it is difficult for housing prices to rise.

However, a rented building and a building of your own are completely different concepts in mind. Cheru Fuyukawa is also confident that he will make this company headquarters a landmark in Akihabara in the future! At that time, the lease needs to be renewed, but the landlord wants to increase the price. What should I do?
There are endless cases of tenants raising prices when renewing leases because they see good business. Moreover, once you have money and invest in various expenses such as decoration in the building, others may start talking loudly.

Fuyukawa Che was too lazy to fight over these things, and he didn't want to move the company around, so the best way was to just buy the building.

The selling price of this building is close to 3.3 billion yen, and even Fuyukawa Che can afford this money, but the production of the old bracelet is too expensive, and his cash flow is greatly suppressed.

Normally, there is no way to buy this building, even if you have friends who work in a bank. After all, banks have always been the most cruel institution [giving umbrellas on sunny days, taking away umbrellas on rainy days], but FATE and Stardew Valley are about to It's about to go online.

Although FATE has lowered the unit price of these two games, it is still a Galgame. Cheru Fuyukawa estimates that the sales volume will not be too explosive. It would be great if it breaks through one million. But this is a Galgame with a high price. Even if the unit price is reduced, the price in Japan is still 5000 yen.

Calculate it in terms of millions, no, in terms of sales of 500,000 units.

Excluding taxes and commissions, the profit is close to one billion yen, not to mention farming games like Stardew Valley that will hardly have too much impact on sales due to changes in the times.

Forty million units sold!
Of course, this is the sales accumulated by the original work over the years, but the original work does not have the same exposure, and there is no such opportunity as the release of the Hawaiian League handheld game. Even if it sells five million units within one month of its launch, the net profit will be close to three billion!
As long as you give him Fuyukawa Che a month, you can earn such a building!

Promotional videos for FATE and Stardew Valley have been released, and the bank must know about it, otherwise they won't come back. And for the whole of last year, Che Fuyukawa's sales of each of his works exceeded five million. Now let’s see whether this is the husband of Ryoko Koishi, a middle-aged man who works as a director at Sumitomo Bank, and whether he is willing to take a gamble after assessing the risks.

A loan of 3.3 billion is a big achievement.
