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

Chapter 214 The strong wind is coming~
""Fate/stay night": Probably the most successful Glagame ever!"

"Five million sets! Ms. Miyano, a senior executive of Holy Light Society, said in an interview that after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Fate ushered in a sales explosion! This may be the highest-selling Galgame in history!"

"Fuyukawa Che fooled everyone! This is not a campus love show at all!"

"This is a campus love story (smile), very depressing (cross out) and healing. New players are welcome to join the game."

"The parade broke out! It is reported that at 8 o'clock this morning, a large number of players gathered downstairs in the Holy Light Club building. They claimed that Fuyukawa Che owed them an apology!"

"According to interviews with reporters, the physical CDs and cassettes of "Fate/stay night" in many offline physical stores have been sold out! Currently, only the Shengguang Family of Shengguang Society still has a small supply!"

There is no doubt that with the promotion of the full live broadcast, as FATE entered the official plot after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and as the [Healing Campus Love Game] turned into super machetes, the Japanese gaming circle was completely boiling.

All the optical discs and cassettes in offline physical stores were sold out overnight, and scalpers directly raised the price to 10,000 yen. But even so, the supply was still in short supply. A large number of players ran to the downstairs of Shengguang Society to hold banners, while [ Cursing] Fuyukawa Che, urging him to quickly bring up the cassette and CD.

Although many people expected that FATE's sales would not be bad because all of Fuyukawa Teru's previous works were hits, no one would have thought that FATE could become so popular!
The main reason is that the gimmicks and publicity are too strong.

Needless to say, in terms of promotion and distribution, Fuyukawa Che was even willing to risk the dividend ratio of multiple games to go to the bank for a loan. The funds spent on promotion and distribution were enough for other major Glagame companies to produce several more top-notch masterpieces.

However, the young players didn't care about these cash deposits, they just waited in line and complained.

The promotion and gimmicks are all fully loaded, almost reaching the promotion standards of top masterpieces, coupled with the excellent game quality of FATE.
Out of stock!

This is a Galgame, and this has led to many players even if they trust Fuyukawa Teru's work, they will still stop and watch because of the type of game. After all, FATE said that the price has been reduced by more than half, but the domestic price is still more than 100.

"You are talking about Miyano, I heard. I heard that she is not married yet. But she does have a good figure. I watched the press conference yesterday and thought I had traveled to the world of Korean comics. That fierce waist and butt are so sexy and cool. The pretty female minister is really tempting, hehehe.”

To be able to climb to the position of top secret in a company like Juyin, she is naturally not a simple person. Likewise, she also knows that Fuyukawa Che is not a simple person. The dialogue between smart people and smart people is always tacit.

"Hey, hey, the old Fuyukawa thief is doing some kind of hunger marketing! The game has been on sale for a week, and you still need to queue up?!"

Now, not only have there been more promotion channels, Fuyukawa Che has also made significant improvements to this game. The number and precision of CG pictures far exceed the original work, and a large number of Live2Ds have been made. At the same time, the price has been reduced by more than half, and he also conducted unlimited live broadcast trials!

At that time, most people wanted to get access to game information by buying game magazines and watching game channels on TV. The intensity of information dissemination was very low. But even under those circumstances, Fate/stay night, which sold for more than 10,000 yen, still sold 200,000 units, creating a miracle in the industry.

Matri's attitude change was not only due to the popularity of FATE, but also because Che Fuyukawa launched his own game platform!

"Big-breasted sister? You mean the short-haired woman from the Holy Light Society?"

"Tsk, I can't tell that you are a young man."

"Yeah, didn't you watch her press conference yesterday? That terrifying villain could suffocate me to death. I don't know who her husband is. She is so lucky."

From the first day of FATE's release, all offline physical manufacturers around the world have been calling President Shanmu, who is responsible for coordinating offline sales, like crazy, asking for a large amount of replenishment.

"Baga, I get angry when I talk about Sakura-chan. Does that bastard Fuyukawa really have the heart to write about a bastard like Matou Shinji? Damn it, Moe-chan's live broadcast yesterday almost made me watch the emo "

In addition to publicity, there are also gimmicks.

"No need." Matri waved his hand to interrupt and said with emotion: "That guy in Dongchuan has no intention of doing this. Instead of suppressing him, it is better to push him so that he can free his hands to deal with SATE."

He didn’t talk much, but he listened to the players lining up outside the window discussing the Holy Light Society’s [GO! 】Game platform, the female secretary also has some idea.

"You guys didn't see the big-breasted sister's statement yesterday. She said that the Holy Light Society has no right to interfere with the cassette production process. Juyin is responsible for this."

Fate/stay night's previous life was a 2004 work.

Fuyukawa Cheru has a great reputation. He has been the most popular game producer in the industry in the past two years. Coupled with the hits and classics, players themselves are looking forward to his games. and
Because of the early erroneous announcement by the Hawaii Game Alliance, many players really thought that FATE was a campus love game. After all, "I Am Surrounded by Beautiful Women" produced by Fuyukawa Cheru the year before last was very popular, and the emotional scenes were readily available, but the result was unexpected It is indeed a love game, but it is a depressing love game!

Looking at this lively scene, Matri, who was sitting in the passenger back seat of the Cadillac on the roadside, held a cigar and narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. It wasn't until the cigar burned down that he put out the cigar and said to his female secretary: "Starting from tomorrow, we will increase the production of FATE CDs and cassettes. In addition, we will postpone the release of Yuzu Club's "Spring Campus Rhapsody" on the shelves."

Although almost all major game companies have their own game platforms, this is nothing new, but it has already shown Fuyukawa Che's attitude - he does not want to stay in the Hawaii Game League forever.

"Come on, such career-minded women don't look down on us. Compared to the sexy female minister, I still want to take my Sakura-chan home faster. Damn Fuyukawa old thief, can't make more cassettes every day ?!"

"Rather than my screenwriting skills, I would like to see more 18XCG. I feel like this time it may be for the sake of game review. Sister Yuzi is still too restrained. Many heavy-flavored poses have not been developed, which is a bit regretful."

Give it a push and free your hands.

The female secretary was stunned and said curiously: "Boss, didn't we say we were going to suppress him before?"

Such a terrifying result, not to mention Fujiko Sato, even Matri of Juyin was frightened. He flew to Japan overnight and couldn't believe the packed scene he saw with his own eyes.

The heat was so high that even Fujiko Sato, who had confidence in Fuyukawa Cheru from the beginning, was frightened. Her initial plan was that she knew that although the quality of Age of Dragons was not fatal, it could not sustain the competition between WS and NICO handheld consoles, so she needed other games to help. But she never expected that the Galgame FATE would be better than Their big production Dragon Age is even more popular!

It sounds a bit exaggerated, but this is the so-called I have what others don't have, and I have advantages when others have.

"It's indeed disgusting, but didn't the old thief Fuyukawa say at yesterday's press conference that they support players to mod the game on their company's game platform? By then, there will probably be all-inclusive MODs."

In front of the entrance of Shengguang's house on the first floor of Shengguang Society, people queuing up to buy FATE and WS handheld consoles were more than a hundred meters away, and were blocked by M's Tower, which sells adult products next door. Inside the glass window were many men and women choosing sexy underwear, and outside the glass window were players waiting in line to buy games. The two completely different groups of people thought each other was stupid, and the scene was very humorous.

postpone?

"What the hell is the year you join the party? She is only in her early thirties, right? She is the age of a mature young woman."

Just like the reason why Juyin and Shanmu attached great importance to FATE in the first place, all players who are interested in Galgame will give priority to the WS handheld when choosing between the NICO handheld and the WS handheld.

In that era, not to mention global game platforms and online live broadcasts like Steam, there were very few mobile phones with Internet access. The most classic Nokia 5230 was only released in 09.

The huge contrast between before and after is enough to trigger a certain degree of discussion, and more importantly, FATE's script is indeed very good.

"Hey, if it hadn't been for this statement, I wouldn't have come here to buy the game today. I just don't know if the screenwriting skills of those MOD makers are good, so don't feed me another big one."

If the reputation is not good, many players will quickly lose interest in this game, but now the national discussion has started!
From the second day after its release, FATE’s sales curve soared almost in a straight line of 75 degrees!
Within a week, sales exceeded 3 million, and they continue to soar!

Players who bought the game chatted nonchalantly, some were scolding Fuyukawa Che, some were discussing the plot of the game, and some were discussing [GO!] which Fuyukawa Che just announced yesterday. 】gaming platform.

Sales exceeded 500,000 in two days!
But all this is still going on. Normally, a game with a producer as influential as Tetsu Fuyukawa in the industry will have its sales peak in the first week of release, and then its popularity will gradually decline, but FATE is an exception!

Not only are we asking for FATE to restock, but we are also asking for handheld consoles to be restocked!

Starting a new business is not a good thing for the Hawaii Game Alliance. After all, Fuyukawa Che's works are very popular now, but it is a good thing for Juyin.

In the past two years, Juyin has been frantically acquiring IP and well-known studios from the outside world, so Juyin's senior executives, including Matri, are not worried at all about the lack of top-tier productions in the future. The establishment of the Hawaii Game Alliance requires, firstly, Shanmu’s technical capabilities and experience in the field of handheld consoles for decades, and secondly, it requires a large number of small and medium-sized games to fill the game library.

This is why Juyin would rather risk the sudden death of WS's generation of handheld consoles than cheat SATE.

SATE is not important to them, and they do not want another strong enemy other than NICO to appear on the handheld field. After all, the market size of the handheld field is not large. Their main reason for entering the handheld field is to break through There are barriers between handheld PCs and consoles, but if it is a three-wizard struggle for hegemony and the market size of each company shrinks, it will not mean much.

Juyin must kick SATE out. And obviously, just like Fuyukawa Che knows what Matri is thinking. As a senior executive of Juyin and as the top talent in the industry, Matri also understands Fuyukawa Che's private little Jiujiu. He knows that Fuyukawa Che must Will side with SATE.

Of course, pushing Fuyukawa Che to go out and establish his own business earlier is tantamount to cultivating an enemy for himself. But in Matri's view, no matter how talented Fuyukawa Che is, the threat level cannot be compared with the top Japanese manufacturers like SATE.

As long as Che Fuyukawa is taken out, he will be free to engage in SATE. Once SATE is cleared,
Matri doesn't think he can handle a Fuyukawa Che by then.

The distinguished Cadillac left the streets of Akihabara, but unlike Matri's situation where he could advance or retreat, the scene on the other side was completely different.

NICO company headquarters, president's office.

"Baga! You bunch of dead losers! You actually let a Galgame steal the spotlight. Why on earth does the company support your marketing department!"

Supervisor Yata was furious. He pointed at the marketing director's nose and cursed him.

The sound was so loud that the door almost shook due to the scolding. The employees outside the president's room were frightened. In the room, the marketing director had already knelt down on the ground and bowed down, dripping with sweat, "Private Marseille!" Private Marseille! This was an oversight by our marketing department. I focused all my work on SATE and Cheru Fuyukawa’s second work, so I neglected this Galgame. President, please forgive me!”

The marketing director was horrified and put all the blame on himself.

This time the NICO handheld was blocked by FATE, which was definitely a major mistake for the company, but the planning document for the new machine launch was all written by Yata. Logically speaking, Special Agent Yata should be the one to take the blame, but
He is a direct descendant of Commissioner Yata!
The workplace is complex. As long as Special Agent Yata does not fall, he still has a chance to survive. If Special Agent Yata fails, then even if he escapes by luck, he will still be killed by other superiors in the future.

It was obvious that after hearing his words about taking over the responsibility, Manager Yata's [angry] eyes flashed with some appreciation, and then he turned around and bowed to the president, "President, although the marketing department cannot escape the relationship, but The top priority now is to think about the response strategy first. Based on my subordinates’ understanding of the man in Dongchuan, FATE may not be the Holy Light Society’s trump card yet, and that Stardew Valley game may be the real killer move. The game will be launched along with Juyin’s Monster Hunter, and then..." He scolded his subordinate and then changed the subject.

It's not a very clever move, but looking at the 90-degree bow of Chief Yata, President NICO, who is still very energetic in his fifties, can't say anything more. After all, Chief Yata has already spoken very seriously. Okay, if we continue to investigate at this time, we must consider the replacement of the marketing director, and this kind of thing will directly touch the fundamental interests of Yata's faction.

At this time, in this environment, there cannot be internal fighting.

Thinking of this, President NICO nodded noncommittally, "Get up, Nojiri, what we need to do now is to get through the difficulties together. What's more, your opponents this time are the two women Miyano and Ohara, and it's not unfair for you to lose. "

Speaking of this, President NICO played with walnuts in his hand, stood up and looked at the Chinese calligraphy and painting "Unify the Mountains and Rivers" on the wall behind him, and sighed: "I never expected that I would see these two women joining forces in my lifetime. That little girl in Dongchuan Guy, you are so brave.”

Japan is such a big country, and NICO had many battles with SATE and NTsoft back then. At that time, he, as the president, was still in charge and could be said to be on the front line.

He knows much more about Miyano Miwa and Ohara Chika than others. In his opinion, these two women are indeed beautiful, have superb temperament, and are very powerful. But just like a great sword chooses its master, these two women are too ambitious and career-minded, and they are completely incompetent. Most people can't control the kind of people who can't be fed enough.

Even SATE and NTsoft back then did not dare to delegate too much power to the two of them, otherwise the words "Why did the president rebel" were not just talk.

As for the actions of the Holy Light Society this time, although the appearance of the actions clearly has Fuyukawa Teru's whale-like behavior, in the actual details, you can still see Miyano Miwa and Ohara Chika. shadow.

They are all presidents. President NICO understands that Fuyukawa Che is only in charge of the overall situation and delegates power to all other matters.

This requires a lot of courage. After all, delegating power is a double-edged sword. What’s even more interesting is that Tetsu Fuyukawa actually trained Miyano Miwa and Ohara Chika very well. The two women’s steps were very harmonious, and there was no inter-department conflict at all. The phenomenon of struggle for power.

"This Fuyukawa Che is incredible."

Just like looking at how a person is and how the friends around him are like, you can get a rough estimate. You can roughly guess whether a leader is strong or not by looking at the strength of his subordinates.

President NICO felt a little emotional, but this emotion did not last long. He took another deep look at the [Unify the Mountains and Rivers] on the wall, then turned around and supported the boss's desk with his knuckles, glanced at the two of them with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Listen. I can understand that Galgame's hit product is indeed not there. You expected it, but in terms of public opinion, you must hold down Stardew Valley for me! No more accidents are allowed, you hear me!"

Taking Stardew Valley seriously!
It's like playing cards.

SATE's Age of Dragons and Giant Silver's Monster Hunters are all enemies on the surface. NICO has been prepared and has the corresponding cards in hand. Regarding these two cards from the Hawaii Game League, President NICO is confident that even if he cannot beat them, he can still resist them, but the premise is that no other tricks can come up.

Manager Yata also understood this truth, and he bowed ninety degrees again: "Ha Yi! President, please rest assured, we will never let you down again this time!"
.
The top brass in the gaming industry are in turmoil, but [common people] are also affected.

"Mr. Kawaguchi brought his girlfriend home again."

"Mr. Kawaguchi is very successful. He is now a manager in a large company."

"Yesterday, my son saw you on the website. Kawaguchi, you are so awesome. Oh, this is Miss Amei, hello, hello, I'm from next door."

A low-rise residential area in Nerima Ward, Tokyo.

Kawaguchi, who was wearing a suit and collar, led Amei on a narrow path. Along the way, many neighbors poked their heads out of the yard to say hello, which made Kawaguchi scratch his head shyly.

But besides being shy, there is more pride on his face!

A year ago, he was just an ordinary working man who came to Tokyo from other places and worked for more than ten years, but he had a career but no career, and a girlfriend but no girlfriend. But now, he has become a minister of a well-known company. In the past, although there were some warm and kind people in the surrounding neighbors who would say hello to him, most of them would call him "Kawaguchi" or "Kawaguchi that boy". But now, they all call him "Mr. Kawaguchi" and "Minister Kawaguchi"!

Mr. Kawaguchi!

Minister Kawaguchi!

These titles, which were previously unimaginable, have now become a reality. Listening to the neighbors' greetings, Kawaguchi's mouth was almost full of laughter. At this moment, he suddenly felt his palm being tightened.

Angrily rolling her eyes at Kawaguchi, Amei complained angrily: "You guys, try to be more upbeat for me. This is your virtue after being praised casually. How can you let Fuyukawa rest assured in the future?" I leave the matter to you!”

In response to the complaints from his beloved woman, the boy Kawaguchi quickly straightened his face, straightened his rocker, and pretended to be a social elite. But before he had pretended to be like this for two seconds, he raised his back again, smiled sheepishly and scratched his head, "I feel like it's more comfortable like this."

"You guys are hopeless."

"It's okay, feeling team. I feel like the president doesn't dislike me at all. Besides, don't I still have you, Amei? You can help me check things out."

"You and I are really convinced. Okay, okay, go home and move things."

Seeing Kawaguchi, who was already a minister but still looked like a loser, Amei rolled her eyes again. But there was no disgust in her eyes, instead they were full of love. For a woman of her age and experience, a man's appearance is already a cloud, and what she values ​​​​more is Kawaguchi's down-to-earth and sincerity.

The two chatted and soon arrived at the apartment.

Kawaguchi is not from Tokyo, but as the saying goes, making money in big cities and spending money in big cities, he wants to take it home with him.

Of course, Kawaguchi's daily expenses are not high. He said he went to Kabukicho for a bubble bath, just to maintain face in front of his male colleagues by pretending to be a smart urban man. However, he has an old mother who is frail and sick, so he has not saved much money over the years.

The apartment was not big, just two floors. As Kawaguchi turned the key, his mother's kind voice came from inside the house.

"Kawaguchi is back. Hmm, is this footsteps Amei?"

My mother-in-law is highly short-sighted and her legs seem to be bad. She just sits in a wheelchair, facing the window and calling Kawaguchi. After hearing the second footsteps, a delighted smile appeared on her highly unfocused eyes and kind face.

"It's me, Amei. Did your mother-in-law take her medicine on time today?"

Answering with a smile, Amei took off her high heels at the entrance and signaled Kawaguchi with her eyes to wash the dishes. Then she walked barefoot to her mother-in-law and tucked in the blanket for her.

The two of them laughed and chatted, and after a few words, Amei turned on the TV and ran to boil water and said: "Mother-in-law, I discussed it with Kawaguchi and planned to move to Shinjuku in a few days. ,what do you think."

"Shinjuku? The rent in Shinjuku should be more expensive than here."

A look of hesitation appeared on the mother-in-law's face. Although Kawaguchi never complains at home and always brags about how popular he is in the company, she is naturally aware of the fact that he has worn a suit for five years and almost no colleagues come to visit him during holidays.

Of course, Kawaguchi's life is now easier, but she is used to hard times, and she still hesitates. And this place has extraordinary significance to her.

Knowing what her mother-in-law was thinking, Amei smiled and said: "Don't worry, the rent in Shinjuku is not much more expensive than here. And it's closer to the company there, and Kawaguchi's work is more convenient."

When she heard that it was more convenient for her son to work, the hesitation on her mother-in-law's face disappeared. She nodded repeatedly, "That's no problem. I listen to you. By the way, is Mr. Fuyukawa free recently? I want to visit him. I You should express your gratitude to him face to face.”

Speaking of Fuyukawa Che, my mother-in-law's highly unfocused eyes were filled with gratitude.

To be honest, she had also met Fuyukawa Che, and more than once. The main reason was that when I was still making "I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Women", in order to get some venues at a cheap price, Tetsu Fuyukawa, who was just starting his career at the time, often took Kawaguchi to drink with those in charge to build relationships.

It’s hard not to drink too much during business dinners, especially since Kawaguchi’s own drinking capacity is not very good, but he has a strong personality and knows the importance of things. He drinks until he vomits every time, and then comes back and continues drinking, so many times. Fuyukawa Che sent Kawaguchi home.

However, at that time, my mother-in-law did not hate Fuyukawa Che. Although she was a woman from a small county town, she also knew that although drinking was uncomfortable, working in a big city and not even having business entertainment would be the most uncomfortable.

She was already very grateful to Fuyukawa Che for helping Kawaguchi, but she didn't expect that Fuyukawa Che would directly let her son become the minister!
It was a great kindness. During this period, every time she went to the shrine to pay her respects, the first thing she did was pray for Kawaguchi, then Fuyukawa Che, and her own health came third.

Nunuo was telling Amei how good Fuyukawa Che was, and while the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

"Which one?"

"Landlord! Open the door for me quickly!"

An unfriendly voice came from outside the door. Kawaguchi shook off the water stains on his hands, wiped them casually on his apron and prepared to open the door, but at this moment, Amei winked at him, then stood up, picked up her handbag and walked towards door.

"Amei, Amei, what are you going to do?"

The landlord who collects rent once every six months has a bad temper. My mother-in-law knows that Amei is also not good-tempered. My mother-in-law also knows that she is a little anxious. But soon, the boy Kawaguchi came over, patted her palm, and said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, Mom, Kawaguchi is no longer the kid he used to be. This time, it's Kawaguchi's turn to take care of you."

"You kid."

Feeling the confidence in Kawaguchi's words, the mother-in-law's eyes were a little moist, and after a fierce quarrel and the sound of money being thrown on her face, the room gradually became quiet.

"From now on, I must follow Mr. Fuyukawa well and not let him down. I know there is no Junpei."

"I know, Mom."
