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

Chapter 202 Set sail
Kanda Manseibashi is not far from Akihabara Station on the JR Line. Coupled with the unique red building of SAGE, it has long been a place for many tourists to check in and take photos. Today, Kanda Manseibashi is particularly lively. Many passers-by are looking at the red building that has just been painted with new paint and covered with new posters.

"Ba~ga~ actually bought an entire building. The old Dongchuan thief is really rich!"

"Surrounded by Beauties, The Binding of Isaac, Dave the Diver, Soft Girls, and Wolf. He made tens of thousands off me all last year! Asshole, one of the bricks in this building is me Breakfast!"

"Not at all. Although the games Fuyukawa makes are pretty disgusting, The Binding of Isaac and Sekiro almost make me play emo, but he is one of the rare [low-priced] ones. You can buy one with special bonuses. Galgame can buy several models from him."

"That's true. He has a bit of a conscience. However, the speed at which he makes games is really terrifying. Not long after the new company was established, it will launch two new games. Which one will you buy then?"

On a sunny afternoon, under the signboard of [Holy Light Games Corporation], several junior high school boys passing by were complaining and discussing nonchalantly.

One of the short-haired boys asked his companion curiously, and naturally received several pairs of eyes.

"Of course I bought them all. Stardew Valley is said to be a pixel farming game, and I happen to like this type of game. Besides, the old thief Fuyukawa also worked as Diver Dave before, so he is very interested in this type of simulation business theme. It’s definitely something you can grab. As for FATE, I wasn’t originally interested in Galgame, but its price is really low, and it’s said to be the Galgame with the most stuff so far, so I might as well buy it and give it a try.”

"I must try it. Just kidding, FATE's artist is [Sister Yuzu], so you must try her works!"

"Sister Yuzu?"

"Nonsense, otherwise people in the game industry would call him [Ghost Fuyukawa] now. But now that he has set up his own studio, he probably wants to wait until his next masterpiece. It feels so far away, right? Fuyukawa The old thief held a game conference today, saying he was going to announce a new game?"

"Sister, you don't really think that a beautiful and sexy wife will come to draw a book, do you? Such pen names are all deceiving people. Hey, actually I hope that the old fuyukawa can continue to stay in NTsoft. In that case Maybe there will be a sequel to Sekiro. I have never experienced a game like Sekiro before, and it is really fun."

It’s not just the Hawaii Game Alliance. Fuyukawa Cheru has only been on the rise for a year and has a relatively narrow network of contacts. However, Miyano Miwa and Ohara Chika are both prominent figures in the industry. Under their call, most of their colleagues in the Japanese game industry They are all here, even those manufacturers that have had business competition, even if the president does not come, they will send leaders at the level of minister to come. After all, if they can know more information about Fuyukawa Che's terrifying opponent, they will definitely not come. wrong.

What is this for?
Including the three little ones, many passers-by were in a daze. And as a beautiful high-heeled leg wrapped in stockings stepped out of the Maybach car door, as Sato Fujiko, the marketing director of SATE, was the first to get out of the Maybach, as reporters raised various questions, and passers-by asked questions. Also explained.

In addition to the gaming industry, Sistar's Honda executive and Ms. Mori, Sumitomo Bank's Director Hanzawa and his wife Koishi Ryoko, as well as the ladies from the wives' group also came with their husbands, and elites from all walks of life gathered. one class.

He took out his cell phone and looked at it. The message that popped up on the screen shocked him instantly. Not only him, but the two classmates next to him also received message pop-ups from the game forum APP.

"Nani??? The [Wolf] game Elden's Ring with a production cost of 100 million US dollars?! A super large-scale fantasy open world???"

"Hey, that guy Fuyukawa is really bold. He made such a big move, with a development cost of 100 million US dollars. Hey, are you not afraid of breaking your eggs if you go too big?" He walked up to Miyano Miwa, who was in charge of welcoming the guests. Because there were reporters next to her, Fujiko Sato had a kind smile on her face, but she said some mocking words.

The sudden news made the three little ones very excited. At this moment, under the watchful eyes of them and many passers-by, several convoys drove to the door of the Holy Light Society building. At the same time, a large number of people appeared out of nowhere. Reporters quickly gathered around.

"One hundred million US dollars, the old Dongchuan thief has pledged all the coffins!"

While chatting, the short-haired boy's trouser pocket suddenly vibrated.

"Minister Sato, I heard that SATE and the Holy Light Society have formed a strategic alliance. Is this true?!"

"What do you think of Mr. Fuyukawa's [US$100 million production plan]?"

"Hurry home! This is a rare appearance of the old Dongchuan thief in person!"

"Nani? You don't know Sister Yuzi. She was one of the top-selling painters on the P site last year. She is very good at painting married women. However, the fly in the ointment is that she seems to have no interest in NTR subjects. Although her painting style is It’s meaty, violent, and heavy-tongued, but they all take the pure love or harem route, and the male protagonists all look the same, which is really a pity.”

This face must be given, and this has created the lively scene on the streets of Akihabara today.

Today is not only the day when Fuyukawa Che announced the start of work on a new game, but also the day when Holy Light Society was officially established.

The atmosphere was very lively, and every reporter seemed to be going crazy. They asked Sato Fujiko crazy questions with all kinds of long-term and short-term tactics. But soon, as Juyin's Matri walked out of the Cadillac, some reporters were also diverted.

"Did Minister Sato come here today to watch the Holy Light Club's game conference, or did he come here to congratulate the Holy Light Club's opening ceremony because of a personal relationship?"

"One hundred million US dollars in cost?! Hey, hey, I didn't count zero wrong!"

Not only Fujiko Sato and Matri, but also President Sugi, Eio Ito of Yuzu Club, and a large number of manufacturers from the Hawaii Game Alliance arrived one after another.

Miyano Miwa was already used to this guy's bad character. She just smiled and shook her head, "Okay, okay, hurry up if you have nothing to do. My sister is not interested in chatting with women right now."

Have sex with a woman
It’s amazing to have a man!
Fujiko Sato's face darkened, but she had a very serious character about saving face. There were reporters and media around her, so it was not easy for her to get angry. She just forced a smile and kept a [noble] smile, then gave Miyano Miwa a hard look, and then walked towards the company building of the Holy Light Society.

There were a lot of people coming today, so it was naturally impossible for Miyano Miting to greet the guests downstairs alone.

Aunt Nogi, the boy from Kawaguchi, Mei, and many more outgoing employees are all helping. What's interesting is that because he spent thirty-three dollars to buy an entire building, this strong financial strength allowed Fuyukawa Che's reputation to rise a lot further, and this also caused the employees of the Holy Light Society to change from their original positions. The number of more than 600 people was directly promoted to more than 900 people.

A big factory with thousands of people!

You must know that the number of employees of Glorious Stripper is just over 2,000. A world-renowned old factory like Capcom only has less than 3,000 employees, while Holy Light Society currently has nearly 1,000 employees.

Although it seems that there is still a big gap between them and the big manufacturers, the big manufacturers basically develop several IPs at the same time, and this number also includes offline stores, cassette disc production lines, and continuous IPs like "Beach Volleyball" For the employees who operate the game, the actual development scale of a single IP simply cannot reach the current level of Holy Light Society.

Yasunori Ogura, the game producer of "Armored Core VI Realm Skyfire", said in an interview that when Laotouhuan was being developed, the development team had only 300 people at its peak. After all, FS had less than employees in total.

Of course, this number does not include outsourced personnel. If calculated as a whole, Laotouhuan's development team has at least 500 people, but Fuyukawa Che's core development team now has close to a thousand people!

It was a very exaggerated number. Although I had long heard that Fuyukawa Che was recruiting people crazily, when these elites from all walks of life walked up the floor to the large conference hall on the fourth floor, they looked at the huge number of employees as they walked. They were still shocked.

And it’s not just the headcount that’s huge.

Japan's company system is very conservative, and if you want to be conservative, you must have a matching hierarchy.

For example, there is a promotion system such as section chief to deputy chief and then to director. There is no doubt that this promotion system can mobilize the enthusiasm of employees to a great extent and is also easy to manage. But the problem is that the more levels there are, the more processes there are. The more processes there are, the slower the efficiency. Anyone who has dealt with a company knows this. Even if complete materials have been submitted for a procedure, the process can still go through. A week or even half a month. This is the so-called traditional pyramid management model. It has a stable structure and is not prone to errors. There are many scapegoats, but the corresponding result is low efficiency. However, Fuyukawa Teru adopts flat management.

Although there are still positions such as section chiefs and deputy heads within the company, these positions are only linked to salary.

Each type of department has a team leader, and there are a total of thirteen team leaders in the company. These team leaders were either the direct line troops who originally followed from Light Bird, or they were talented individuals who had switched jobs from other major factories or were spotted by Fuyukawa Che and hired him personally.

The thirteen team leaders are directly responsible to the two directors, Miyano Miwa and Ohara Chika, as well as Fuyukawa Teru, the [director] who is called the president but actually focuses on the R&D export.

In a large factory with a thousand people, there are only two procedures in between from the grassroots to the president, and within the same group, there are only differences between members and team leaders. The superior-subordinate relationship such as section chief and deputy chief only exists in salary, and everyone Can speak freely.

The process is short. Although due to the traditional Japanese cultural influence between superiors and subordinates, ordinary employees will still respect the section chiefs and deputy heads, but after all, there is no oppression by rights. Small leaders such as section chiefs and deputy heads do not dare to press too hard. At most Just getting a few compliments makes me feel happy.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine how efficient the company's operations can be.

Of course, there is no perfect system in this world. The efficiency of a flat management structure is very high, but at the same time, it also requires very high comprehensive capabilities of the leadership. And this is not a big problem for the Holy Light Society.

Everyone in the industry knows how strong Miyano Miwa and Ohara Chika are in business, and there were countless big companies that wanted to poach them. As for Fuyukawa Che, although people in the outside world have not yet intuitively experienced his management ability, they only know that he is very good at playing games, but as the saying goes, you can tell the autumn with a leaf.

Miyano Miwa and Ohara Chika are both strong women with high aspirations. They are both willing to submit to Fuyukawa Teru's throne, which explains everything.

While going upstairs, I observed the "free" atmosphere in the corridor that was completely different from other game companies. The elites from all walks of life who came to the press conference were all amazed. Even Fujiko Sato had a strange light in his eyes.

Somewhat envious.

Although he is the powerful minister of SATE, SATE is, after all, an old company that has been established for nearly a century. It has a complex internal structure and is affiliated with the Mitsui Zaibatsu, one of the six largest chaebols in Japan.

In this case, her [real power] is only relative. How can she be like Miyano Miwa and Ohara Chika now, one person is less than a thousand people. And the most important thing is that as soon as Dongchuan Che's new company is established, it will launch a project worth US$100 million!

The development cost of 100 million U.S. dollars is the pure development cost without publicity and distribution costs!

This body is twice as big as the strengthened Sekiro, and 30% higher than the investment cost of their SATE Age of Dragons!

She, Fujiko Sato, has an arrogant personality and likes [giant things] very much, and being able to participate in the management of such a huge-cost project is undoubtedly what she yearns for.

However, as she walked to the door of the large conference hall with sharp high heels, she quickly hid her emotions and pushed the door open.
.
Today's press conference was not only the establishment of the company, but also a new game preview, so Fuyukawa Che directly made a live broadcast on the entire network.

Not only did they contact friends and acquaintances in the industry to come and support, but they also contacted many live broadcast platforms at home and abroad to conduct official live broadcasts, and well-known game area UP owners such as YouTube and Bilibili were invited, and the entire venue seemed... Very lively.

"Hello everyone, this is Bingyu's live broadcast room. This time, I am also very honored to be invited by Holy Light Society to attend their company establishment and new game launch conference. Now, speaking of Holy Light Society, many Players who only play games and don’t pay attention to game companies may not be familiar with this name, but when it comes to Fuyukawa Thief and Sekiro, everyone should be familiar with it.”

In the anchor area of ​​the large conference hall, a Chinese girl with a rather quiet face held the live broadcast on her mobile phone.

Speaking of Sekiro and Fuyukawa the old thief, the barrage that hadn’t been there just now started to flood the screen. The screen was full of [Old thief deserves to die] [Sekiro yyds] [God] [Holy shit, Fuyukawa the old thief is going solo? 】.

The barrage was very active, Bingyu said with a smile: "Yes. This Holy Light Games Corporation, Holy Light Society is Mr. Fuyukawa's newly established company. Tsk tsk, Mr. Fuyukawa's status in the Japanese game industry is quite high now.

Now, you can take a look, there are many well-known industry insiders here today. The one wearing a top hat is Genji Kagawa, the producer of SATE Age of Dragons, and the skinny middle-aged man over there is the producer of Dead Rising. The person is Nitta Oura, who is known as the God of Action. There is also Mr. Eio Ito, the [wife producer] who is highly respected by many male players in the country. "

Bingyu talked nonchalantly, and with her introduction, the barrage scrolled faster.

[Holy shit, a big shot in the Gal world like Ito can only sit in the back row? Dongchuan really has some cards. 】

[I guess the old Fuyukawa thief was afraid that he would stab him with a knife, so he arranged seats so far away (laughs). After all, FATE’s pricing is nearly 50% lower than other Japanese Gals, and the Gals in OTTO’s spring sale are not as expensive as his first launch price. It’s low, and it’s also stacking materials like crazy. Times are not easy for Yuzi Club. 】

[I heard that the research and development cost of the new game he wants to make this time exceeds 100 million US dollars. This courage is really exaggerated. If 100 million US dollars were given to me, I would develop a stupid game, eat, drink and have fun for the rest of my life, and be a groom every night! 】

【When will FATE be online! I want to have a sweet Japanese campus love! 】

[I feel like I’m going to rush into the street. If the open world is not done well, it will easily become a canned world. I think it is better to continue to polish the Hakodeni map, or develop Surrounded by Beauties 2 (color)]

【Kagawa Genji? ! Damn it, a big guy like this is here too? Damn it, who told me before that the old thief in Dongchuan is just a small section chief! 】

[Old thief Fuyukawa is disgusting, but he is also very capable. It is really an exaggeration to go from a small section chief to the president of such a company within one year. 】

[Dongchuan actually established a company, it feels like I am witnessing a piece of history! 】

The barrage scrolled rapidly, saying everything, and soon, as the entire conference hall was almost full, Fuyukawa Che also waved to the stage amidst warm applause.

The conference hall was filled with applause, and the barrage now all turned into [Old Thief of Fuyukawa]. However, some of the barrages are [? 】【Damn, he’s so handsome! 】【Still a handsome guy from Tokyo? ! 】.

Fuyukawa Che's name is very famous now, but to be honest, there are not many photos of him that have been circulated to the outside world.

The biggest difference between Japanese game manufacturers and European and American game manufacturers is that in the early days, Japanese companies took the route of "star game producers", but now this method of publicity and distribution is now declining. After all, game producers may change jobs, so Japanese companies The factory began to operate more company IP and game IP.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Fuyukawa Che, but for some players, this is quite [scary].

[The middle-aged programmer I thought turned out to be a handsome guy from Tokyo? ! 】

Numb, many barrages were numb, but the thoughts of these barrages had no impact on Fuyukawa Che.

Under the gaze of everyone, Dongchuan walked up to the microphone with great strides. It was the first time he appeared in front of the world as the president. Looking at the guests in the audience and the countless cameras leading to thousands of households around the world, even though he had always been calm, he couldn't help but feel a little excited at this time.

Set sail now!
