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

Chapter 314 The first clues

The sales of "Elden Ring" exceeded 30 million in early February.

Less than a year after the establishment of Holy Light Society, it has released two titles, Stardew Valley and Elden Ring, which have sold over 30 million copies. It is no wonder that Fuyukawa Che is now the most popular person in the global gaming industry.

"The alumni meeting of the University of Tokyo is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. I have contacted their vice president. If nothing goes wrong, Mr. Nohara can attend our variety show then."

At noon, a luxurious villa with sea breeze blowing.

Chika Ohara was drinking tea and typing on her laptop by the window.

Hearing her words, Dongchuan Che, who was doing push-ups with Yuezhu Feiniao on his shoulders in the living room, gasped and said, "Mr. Nohara Sanosuke? I heard that he never takes on this kind of business, right?"

Ohara Chika crossed her legs and twirled her black hair with her fingers. "That's because he made a lot of money from his previous work and married a rich woman, so he has no shortage of money. But some time ago, he seemed to have had a fight with his wife over whether to put coriander in ramen, and was kicked out of the house in the middle of the night. Now he's fighting with his wife again, and wants to play mahjong, but he has no money, so he has to come out and do some work."

"."

After hearing Ohara Chika's answer, Fuyukawa Che was in a state of confusion, but he was not particularly surprised.

Regardless of whether they are good or bad, most people who engage in art have relatively unconventional thinking. Moreover, Mr. Nohara Sanosuke is already over 70 years old this year and is a well-known old naughty boy in the industry. It is not surprising that he does anything. However, running away from home because of something like "Should I put coriander in my ramen?" is a bit too much.

Dongchuan Che was a little confused, and his hands moved a little slower. As soon as he slowed down in his push-ups, Yuezhu Feiniao, who was sitting on his back in white stockings and watching "The Director's Self-cultivation (Part 2)", pressed down with her buttocks, "Only 227, the number is not reached yet."

"Know it."

It should be said that he did more than 200 push-ups, and he was carrying a 1.76-meter-tall European and American beauty. Even though Dong Chuanche's physique was extremely strong, he was sweating profusely at this time.

The white silk on his back was completely soaked, and the [Taste of the Sea] slid back and forth on his back, making him a little distracted. However, just as this thought came to his mind, Ohara Chika said, "In addition to the alumni association of the University of Tokyo, the date for the meeting with Minister Takemoto of the Ministry of Culture is also scheduled for this Friday. In addition, Mr. Bao from the Shanhe Group has boarded the plane and is expected to arrive around 4 pm."

"Are you on the plane already?"

Dongchuan Che paused again while doing push-ups.

The popularity of "Elden Ring" not only brought Dongchuan Che billions of dollars in revenue, but also caused some subtle changes in the entire gaming industry due to the popularity of this game. The root of all these changes was naturally Dongchuan Che's GOGO platform.

After the GOGO platform was launched, although Dongchuan Che put his own music, animation and games on the platform, he did not approach other game manufacturers or animation studios to discuss contracts.

The main reason is that the time is not yet ripe.

At that time, GOGO only had two games, Fate and Stardew Valley. These two games are indeed excellent, but OTTO has all the games except some exclusive works of SATE and NICO.

Just talking about the popularity of the game section, the GOGO platform cannot be compared with OTTO at all.

Of course, at that time, they could have negotiated with other manufacturers to join the platform. After all, under the restrictions of antitrust laws, OTTO could not prevent third-party games from only landing on their platform. But the problem was the initiative in the negotiations.

This is just like falling in love. The one who desires to be loved more is always more passive and will always suffer more losses.

At that time, if you went to those big companies to discuss game entry, you would most likely face all kinds of unfair terms.

Nothing necessary.

If he had no initial accumulation, had to rely on others, and had to take a gamble, Dongchuan Che would not care about face. But he had accumulated a whole year at NTsoft.

"Surrounded by Beauties", "The Binding of Isaac", "Diver Dave", "K-ON!" and "Sekiro". Two years ago, he worked like crazy and forgot to eat and sleep to make five works. Five works in a year, what does this mean? He only slept four or five hours a day.

The work was indeed very hard at the time, but it also laid a solid financial foundation for him as a grassroots, allowing him to take more stable steps when starting his own business. Now, after more than two years of hard work, he is finally qualified to take a key step towards becoming a "channel dealer", one of the most profitable "identities" in the game industry.

Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che became excited unconsciously.

Seeing him doing push-ups faster, Chika Ohara smiled slightly and continued, "Not only did he come here to discuss the future development direction of the platform, he also invited Professor Wang Xueqin from the Central Conservatory of Music. It seems that he has invested a lot of money this time."

"It's normal, after all, the Singer project will also be held in China at the same time. But Professor Wang Xueqin of the Central Conservatory of Music is indeed a well-known figure."

Dong Chuan Che was secretly shocked.

Professor Wang Xueqin is considered a meritorious musician in China. Born in the 1940s, she joined the cultural troupe at the age of 15 and entered the Central Conservatory of Music for undergraduate studies at the age of 18, which was considered the first batch since the creation of the world. After graduation, she also went to many famous foreign universities for further studies for a period of time. After returning to China, she joined the Central Song and Dance Troupe, during which time she composed more than a dozen songs that were popular all over the country at that time, and these songs were even directly used by the government on formal occasions.

These experiences and identities have given her the power to shake up the Chinese music scene. What's even more exaggerated is that she has not been active in the music industry since she was over 50 years old. Instead, she returned behind the scenes to teach students, and then she has been unstoppable.

If we were to select the ten most influential singers and music artists in mainland China between the 1980s and 1990s, her disciples would occupy at least four seats.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for a big shot like Mr. Bao who also has a good pedigree to invite this kind of truly meritorious boss who has many students all over the world and has contributed to the Chinese music industry all his life, and if Dongchuan Che went to invite him as a Japanese businessman, it would be highly likely that no amount of money would be enough to invite him.

At this level, it’s no longer just a matter of money.

excited!

With such a big shot joining, the show will be a hit in China with just a little publicity. However.
"After paying so much, Mr. Bao naturally wants more. It seems that he is serious this time."

Thinking of this, after finishing 250 weighted push-ups, Dong Chuan Che patted Yuezhu Asiniao's buttocks, stood up, took a towel from the side and wiped the sweat off his body.

Looking at his sweaty abdominal muscles and muscular shoulders, Ohara Chika's eyes flashed with a little shyness and a little desire, then she nodded and said, "He should also have seen the future prospects of our GOGO platform and the variety show "Singer"."

"You're half right."

Dongchuan Che smiled and shook his head. In the puzzled look of Ohara Chika, he smiled and said, "Boss Bao has indeed seen the prospects of our platform and variety shows, but... your vision is still not big enough. Boss Bao has a good family background and can enter many industries. Even his family background is almost enough to surpass half of the gaming industry, but why did he choose to enter the cultural field?"

"kindness?"

Ohara Chika was slightly startled. Dongchuan Che wiped his face with a towel, then sat down next to her, picked up the black tea with lip marks and drank it all, and said with a smile: "He has a mission. In recent years, China's economy has taken off, but its cultural influence has not been improved. Whether it is music, games or movies, there are very few works that can achieve a huge influence on a global scale.

It should be said that if it was five years ago, no matter how rich his family was, he could not bring about the big plate in the Chinese cultural field. At that stage, most of the rich people in China would throw their money into the financial and real estate industries. But now everything is different. After all, there is a lot of capital there with nowhere to go. "

Savoring the aroma of black tea, Dong Chuan Che, who had just finished intense exercise, supported his knees with his hands, letting the sweat slide down his chin, his brain slightly empty.

The golden age of Japan's animation, music and gaming industries was basically from the 1980s to the 1990s, and the periods of rapid development in the three cultural fields almost overlapped.

Why is that?
There are many reasons, such as the collapse of Atari in the gaming industry, which allowed Japan to take over the dominant position in the gaming market from the United States, and the emergence of home video recorders in the animation industry, which further promoted the development of the animation industry. But in his opinion, there is another very key factor - Japanese capital accumulated a lot of wealth before 1985, and the Japanese real estate bubble burst after 1985.

The harm that Japan's real estate finance has done to the Japanese economy is actually extremely terrifying.

It's not that the damage after the explosion is terrible, but that the damage is already great before the explosion.

To make a simple analogy, there are two industries A and B in the world. Although Industry A can also make money, with an annual profit margin of up to 30%, and although Industry B has huge risks, its annual profit can be as high as 300%. At this time, all capital will flow into Industry B. As for Industry A, because there is no capital flowing into it, ordinary people cannot make money working there, and there are not even any companies offering jobs. This will eventually lead to the decline of Industry A.

Japan's real estate bubble did bring devastating damage, but from a certain perspective, as long as the situation after the bubble burst can be survived and then properly guided, it is actually more like a whale falling and everything coming back to life. Because if Japan's real estate bubble had not burst, those investors would never have tried to enter other industries.

Similarly, the reason why President Bao brought the bigwigs from CAMU to visit Japan in person at this time was more or less due to this factor - there is also a large amount of capital in China that has nowhere to go.

"It seems that this time, the Chinese region's "Singer" and even the GOGO platform issues can be further deepened. "

Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che's eyes became slightly hot, and at this moment, suddenly a sweet and petite body pounced on his back.

"Hey, you stinky uncle who doesn't take a shower after exercise, you're really unclean!" Wearing his big white T-shirt of Dongchuan Che, and only a pair of small strawberry pure cotton panties on his lower body, his bare feet stepped on a pair of white velvet slippers of Little White Rabbit. Izumi Himawari said she disliked him, but she didn't disliked him at all as she hugged Dongchuan Che who was sweating all over, and even rubbed her chin on his shoulder to wipe the sweat.

She looks innocent and cute, but actually she is a little loli with very strong tastes.

"Girl, why are you here to join in the fun at this time?"

Without saying much, under Chika Oohara's very subtle but envious and eager eyes, Toru Fuyukawa put his arms around the girl, carried her on his back, and then noisily carried her into the bathroom.

This guy, he's obviously here too
Looking at the noisy backs of Fuyukawa Tetsu and Izumi Himawari, Ohara Chika bit her lower lip with a bit of displeasure and shyness. At this time, Yuezhu Asuka, who had been leaning against the wall with one leg on the chair, flipped through the book in her hand and said without raising her head: "Are you envious? Then why don't you take the initiative?"

"."

Unexpectedly, Yuezhu Asuka, who usually doesn't say a word, suddenly said this. Ohara Chika was also stunned. However, she herself was not a talkative person. She looked up and down at Yuezhu Asuka's belly, and she held the red teacup with both hands and took a sip, "You are the same, you have been with him for two years."

"It's different. I've been out playing for almost twenty months in the past two years. And..." At this point, Yuezhu Feiniao raised his head and said calmly: "If there is a suitable romantic environment this time, I will let him truly experience the charm of Rouge Horse."

"."

Lived in Bengbu.

It was already quite exaggerated for a woman to say such things, not to mention that when Yuezhu Asuka said this, her face was still cold and calm. Ohara Chika was completely stunned. However.
Be more proactive?

Thinking of this, a hint of shyness appeared in Ohara Chika's eyes, but besides shyness, there was more uneasiness.

She felt a sense of uneasiness that had never occurred to her before, but soon, as the memories of having known Dongchuan Che for so long came to her mind, her inner emotions gradually calmed down a lot.

If it were him
I'm sure you can accept me like that.
.
Fuyukawa Che did not know about the conversation between Ohara Chika and Yuezhu Asuka.

Today is a working day, but he didn't go to the company because he had to welcome Mr. Bao and Professor Wang Xueqin in the afternoon. Miyano Mitsuko and Sayoko are still working in the company.

The two women who cooked the best food were not at home, and there was no food in the refrigerator. After taking a nice bath with Izumi Himawari in the bathroom, Dongchuan Che just ordered some takeout.

It should be said that on weekdays, he secretly ate takeout on the sofa at home and spent time with his wives. It was not until 3:30 in the afternoon that Fuyukawa Tetsu drove to Haneda Airport, which was more than 20 minutes away from Akihabara.

Needless to say, the last time he went to China, Mr. Bao had a Rolls-Royce Phantom leading the way and a fleet of Land Rover vehicles, giving Dong Chuan Che enough face.

This time, when the other party came, he, Dongchuan Che, naturally returned the favor and called Aunt Nogi before leaving. So, when he, Dongchuan Che, arrived at Haneda Airport, Aunt Nogi's son, who is now the captain of the driver class, also drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom and brought three Cullinans to support the event.

Luxury cars led the way. Even though Tokyo is an international metropolis, the four cars, which cost more than 40 million yuan in total, still attracted countless passers-by to watch and discuss which big shot had come.

When they saw Aunt Noki's son get out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and then run to the silver Land Rover behind to open the door for someone, many passers-by were stunned.

"What the hell, this Rolls-Royce is obviously much more expensive than a Land Rover."

"Who is that guy? He has such a big show."

"That's right, he looks very young, maybe he's some rich kid trying to show off! That's Toru Fuchukawa!"

"Masaka?! Is it really the old thief Dongchuan?!"

"Old thief Dongchuan? What do you mean?"

"He's the producer of the recently popular game 'Elden Ring'! Didn't you watch me play it the day before yesterday?!"

"Oh, you mean the game that tortured you to death. Didn't you say at the time that you would give the game producer a few beatings if you saw him?"

".Ahem, that was just a joke!"

After the sales of Elden Ring exceeded 25 million, Fuyukawa Che stopped paying much attention to it, but it has only been a month since the game was released, and the popularity has not completely subsided. In addition, Haneda Airport is one of the busiest international airports in Japan, and tourists from all over the world get off the plane here, so the flow of people is very large.

Needless to say, as soon as Dongchuan Che, who was wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses, got off the car, a group of young people raised their phones. Fortunately, the game producer is not a movie star after all. Although Dongchuan Che has many fans, these fans are not as enthusiastic as fans of stars. Most of them hold their phones to take pictures and exclaim from afar. Only some more powerful people will come over to ask for autographs.

As for Izumi Himawari.

On the one hand, after her confession at the Red and White Songs Contest, the enthusiasm of her fans has indeed dropped a lot. In addition, she herself does not package her image and even asks other people to shoot her song MVs.

What's more, this girl is now wearing a loose white down jacket, light gray wide-leg pants, a black baseball cap on her little head, sunglasses and a little white rabbit mask on her face. She is wrapped up like a dumpling. Let alone the fans, if he didn't know, I'm afraid Dongchuan Che wouldn't be able to recognize her when he walked on the street.

However, some die-hard fans recognized her, but fortunately, just a few minutes after Dongchuan Che got off the car, President Bao and his group left the airport.

"Long time no see, brother Dongchuan. Really, you didn't call me for such a long time."

"Haha, I've been too busy lately so I can't help it."

Dong Chuan Che just went to greet him, and Bao Zong also walked over very enthusiastically and shook his hand, saying some polite words. Dong Chuan Che also said some polite words, but strictly speaking, they can't be considered polite words.

Just like he, Toru Dongchuan, would occasionally sit down with Executive Managing Director Kuriyama to drink tea, chat about industry development, or even attend some drinking parties with bigwigs in the industry, Toru Dongchuan still has a lot of appreciation for people like Executive Managing Director Kuriyama and President Bao, who are indeed very capable and whose style of doing things does not disgust him.

This is even more true for Mr. Bao.

The last time Dongchuan Che went to China, he told his subordinates that "Within ten years, it will be Dongchuan Che who will speak for the Japanese gaming industry." He admired Dongchuan Che, a young talent, and now Dongchuan Che has become a well-known figure with a net worth of over 40 billion RMB!

Thinking of this, while President Bao was greeting Dongchuan Che, there was more appreciation and respect in his eyes.

It was obvious that Mr. Bao came here to discuss a lot of things this time, so not only him, but also Zhang Peng, who he met last time, and many leaders of Shanhe Group came.

On the Shengguang Society side, Chika Ohara and a group of executives went over to greet and exchange ideas. However, among the crowd on Bao's side, an old lady who was a little short shook Chika Ohara's hand with some emotion and said in Japanese with a Tokyo accent, "Chika-chan, it's been a long time since we last met. I remember you were still in junior high school. In the blink of an eye, you have become such a beautiful lady."

"No, Grandma Xueqin, you are too polite. How are you feeling lately?"

Under Dongchuan Che's somewhat confused gaze, Ohara Chika bowed respectfully to Professor Wang Xueqin like a junior.

Professor Wang Xueqin's eyes were full of memories, and she nodded with emotion, "Okay, I'm in good health, but you. If there was such a thing, why didn't you tell your mother-in-law in advance? It was only when A-bao and my apprentice said that they wanted to cooperate with your company to make a variety show that I knew about it.

By the way, how is your grandma's health recently? Last time we talked on the phone, she said that her health was getting worse and worse. Really, when I was in college with her, I told her not to wear skirts in winter, but she didn't listen. Now it's fine. Oh, but this time I also brought some supplements. Xiaolin, help me get the suitcase over."

Professor Wang Xueqin was obviously very prestigious. As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhang Peng from Bao's side rushed over to get the suitcase. Seeing this scene, Dong Chuanche also raised his eyebrows strangely.

He also knew about Ohara Chika's family background. However, he did not expect that the "family background" mentioned by Miyano Mitsuko and Sato Fujiko was so exaggerated.
"But, with such a good family background, why have I never heard her talk about her family?"

Obviously, from Professor Wang Xueqin's words, Dongchuan Che understood that Chika Ohara's family background must be good, but he was not worried about the bloody plot in the story of a son-in-law where the man is humiliated by the woman's family.

On the one hand, he has a big family now, and even being the son-in-law of a chaebol is enough. On the other hand, his relationship with Ohara Chika is no secret, but Ohara Chika's family has not come to cause trouble for so long, and Ohara Chika herself is a woman with strong opinions and even a strong personality. She is not the type to be wronged obediently.

He was just curious why Chika Ohara hadn't said these things before.

Perhaps she felt Dongchuan Che's gaze, and Chika Ohara, who was greeting Professor Wang Xueqin, frowned slightly. She clenched her right hand slightly, and her thumb rubbed the second joint of her index finger uneasily.
