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

Chapter 332: One D, One F
"Making a handheld game console?"

A lively seaside restaurant.

Dongchuan Che lit a cigarette and looked at Akiyama Kaori with some surprise.

Honestly, because of the competition with NICO, even if he didn't know the relationship between Akiyama Kaori and Tsukitake Asuka before, he knew the Akiyama family more or less. After all, one of the main businesses of the Akiyama family is to produce parts for NICO handheld game consoles.

However, he did not expect Akiyama Kaori to be so direct in her work style. You have to know that although the Akiyama family is a large family, it is still dwarfed by giants like NICO. The relationship between the two is actually a bit like Apple and those manufacturers that make batteries and glass for Apple phones.

Although the gap in status between the two is not that exaggerated, and has not reached the level where NICO can kick the Akiyama family out with just one word, but if NICO knew that the Akiyama family wanted to start a new business, he would definitely be beaten up.

In this case, he came over and spoke directly.
Does he really trust Yuezhu, or is this a test from NICO?
Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che took a sip of tiger whip wine. With the hot alcohol rushing into his nasal cavity, his brain worked rapidly.

There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in the business world, only eternal interests. Although he is now the third boss of the Hawaiian Game Alliance and seems to be NICO's mortal enemy, as long as Dongchuan Che does not personally go out to make handheld game consoles, he is still a target for NICO.

However, compared to defecting to the NICO camp, he still hoped that the Akiyama family really wanted to start a new business to make handheld game consoles. After all, defecting from the Hawaii Game Alliance to the NICO camp would not bring him any fundamental changes.

"The commission that the Summer Travel Alliance takes from me is not high, but it is close to 10%. If I go to NICO, I guess NICO will at most give me an 8% or 6% commission contract, plus some other welfare clauses.

Compared to other manufacturers who often pay more than 30% commission to handheld game console distributors, the commission these two companies take from me is already very low. But the revenue of games such as Pokémon, Hearthstone, and FGO is so high that after long-term accumulation, the funds taken away are enough for me to develop a handheld game console myself.

I will definitely make my own handheld game console in the future. But this involves too many interests, so I have to keep a steady pace. "

GOGO platform has not yet completely established its foothold. If it rushes to expand and blindly enters the handheld field at this time, it will offend too many people and may eventually be crushed by OTTO, NICO and Juyin.

You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Many times, even if the direction of progress is correct, problems will arise if the speed of progress is wrong. Qin Shihuang and Emperor Yang of Sui are all historical lessons.

Thinking that he still had a large family of women to take care of, Dongchuan Che, who was a little excited just now, gradually calmed down. And the changes in his eyes were also seen by Akiyama Kaori who was sitting opposite.

No wonder he was able to build such a big business at such a young age; his stable character far exceeds that of his peers.

A little appreciation flashed in Akiyama Kaori's eyes. She held her cheek with her hand, drew circles on the rim of the cup with her slender fingers, and said with a smile: "It seems that what I said bothered you."

"Isn't this your purpose?"

Dong Chuan Che rolled his eyes with a half-smile, then drank the wine in one gulp.

He let Yuezhu Asiniao, who was sitting on a wheelchair, pour wine for him. He smiled and said, "Although your Qiushan family has only been doing business seriously for more than ten or twenty years, you have been able to successfully clean up and transform under the dual pressure of domestic and international pressure. The old man in your family is obviously a tough guy. I don't think this kind of person will rashly come to me to discuss cooperation when he hears that I bought a house for Yuezhu. So what you said about [Let's talk about cooperation without Nico] is actually just a sudden whim of yours."

Dongchuan Che kept talking, and after hearing what he said, Akiyama Kaori's eyes were filled with more smiles and appreciation. She pouted at Yuezhu Asuka and said with a smile, "Hey, when you were little, didn't you say you liked dumber men? Why did you find a cunning guy now?"

"You are as cunning as a devil. This is called cleverness. What do you know?"

Yuezhu Asuka held Dongchuan Tetsu's arm and smiled sweetly. It was obvious that in front of Akiyama Kaori and Dongchuan Tetsu, she was completely relaxed. She was no longer the cold mixed-blood lady before, but more like a sweet female college student.

Seeing her best friend decisively abandon her for a man, Akiyama Kaori smiled and shook her head in displeasure, "I'm really impressed. I thought geniuses would be different from ordinary people, but I didn't expect that they are also love-brained. However, seeking cooperation with you is not strictly speaking a sudden idea. After all, our two families do have the same interests."

The tone of the first half is very lighthearted, but the tone of the second half becomes slightly more serious.

Seeing that the other party was going to continue to delve into this topic, Dongchuan Che frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "As far as I know, 53% of the parts of the NICO handheld game console are processed by your Akiyama family. In order to achieve this step, you have spent more than ten years of hard work.

Although NICO is not as strong as before, it is still the leader in the handheld game console field and can slightly suppress the Hawaii Game Alliance. And from another perspective, the more external pressure NICO receives, the more concessions it will have to make to you internally to avoid internal collapse. Why did you choose to go solo at this time? "

The interest field is a very complicated thing.

The Akiyama family and NICO are currently in the same camp, so most people make intuitive judgments that the stronger the NICO handheld game console is, the more beneficial it is to the Akiyama family.

This is either true or false.

At some point, that’s not the case.

The stronger the sales of NICO handheld game consoles, the greater the say of NICO itself. And the greater the say of NICO, the less say those companies that cooperate with NICO like the Akiyama family will have, and the more stringent the contracts they sign will be.

Therefore, in Dongchuan Che's opinion, now should be the best time for the Akiyama family to negotiate a new contract with NICO, rather than thinking about going solo.

Dongchuan Che didn't quite understand what the Akiyama family did.

Feeling Dongchuan Che's puzzled gaze, Akiyama Kaori shrugged and took another sip of wine, "It seems that you really have no intention of making a handheld game console recently, and you haven't focused on this. Well, it doesn't matter. Anyway, according to the abilities of the women in your company, you should have received the news tomorrow morning, so I'll tell you directly.

Some time ago, several companies in the NICO handheld production chain came together to secretly approach Mr. Chonghe, the head of NICO, to force him to negotiate a new contract. However, the negotiations failed and NICO was ready to start building its own handheld production line. Of course, I don’t know what the new contract is about. We were invited at the time, but we didn’t participate.”

"Did the deal break down?"

Dongchuan Che lit up a cigarette, and subconsciously stroked Yuezhu Feiniao's white silk calves with his left hand, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Now NICO is fighting against the Hawaiian Game Alliance. How could the talks fail under such circumstances? Does NICO want to die?"

Akiyama Kaori glanced at his mischievous hands and continued calmly, "I don't know, but according to the current situation, NICO is indeed preparing to build its own production line.

Of course, the production line of NICO handheld game consoles involves a wide range of issues, even involving unemployment and employment, which affect social stability. NICO cannot replace all of them with its own people, but this incident also shows Chonghe's work style. It is difficult for our Qiushan family to continue to make further progress under the NICO system. So I thought that since I had to meet Xiaoyuezhu anyway, I would just talk to you about this matter. You should know that this is also a great opportunity for you. "

Akiyama Kaori kept talking, and after hearing her words, Dongchuan Che frowned.

If what the other party said was true, then this was indeed a good opportunity for him. After all, although he could develop a handheld system, he did not have a production chain that could produce handhelds.

When Juyin forced to acquire a stake in Sugimu, it was actually because it had its eyes on the production chain, handheld systems, and various handheld game IPs that Sugimu had accumulated over the years.

Now the system and game IP are not a problem, but the production of the machine is more troublesome. On the one hand, it is not easy to establish a production chain, and on the other hand, he is not familiar with this aspect. After all, there are only a few companies in the world that make handheld consoles.

If he could take advantage of the opportunity of NICO's restructuring to recruit some people, it would save him a lot of effort. But as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Even though NICO and Juyin are fighting fiercely now, I can still watch the show on the shore, but if I dare to go out openly, I will be besieged by both of them in the first place.

Need to be more cautious.

Fuyukawa Che understood this, and Akiyama Kaori also understood this.

"You don't have to give me an answer right now. Xiao Yuezhu has my contact information anyway. You can call me anytime you're interested."

Seeing that Dongchuan Che did not directly refuse like before, Akiyama Kaori realized that her purpose of coming to see Dongchuan Che today had been achieved. She did not continue the topic, but just stretched and started to chat with Yuezhu Feiniao.

"This woman is quite capable."

After taking a look at Akiyama Kaori's charming and yet majestic face, Toru Fuyukawa's eyes also flashed with some appreciation. He was bound to make handheld game consoles. After "World of Warcraft" and "Pokemon" were released and the traffic of the GOGO platform was stabilized, he would start working on this sector.

"It looks like the picnic will be able to meet the players soon."

According to the original plan, because of the need to accumulate various technologies, the handheld game console field will not take shape until at least the year after next. But now that the Akiyama family has brought good news, this process will be accelerated a lot.

And it is obvious that the game that Toru Fuyukawa chose for the first game of his first handheld console was "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild"!
And it’s not just any cookout!
By then, he will use four masterpieces, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", "Hearthstone", "Pokemon" and "Diablo", to escort the handheld console in turn and bombard players for a whole year!

"Let's go back and confirm NICO's situation. If there's nothing fishy going on, we can talk about cooperation."

"Come to think of it, we just bought the building across from our company. We can start recruiting more people after we get back."

Thinking about the future in his mind, Dongchuan Che was in a very good mood, but he was not the only one in a good mood.

Yuezhu Asuka never expected that when she revisited her hometown in Kamakura today, she would be able to buy back the old house and meet her good sisters.

She was in a very high mood at the moment. While she was chattering with Akiyama Kaori, she was also picking up geoduck sashimi for Dongchuan Che and helping to pour tiger penis wine. Her attitude was so enthusiastic that Dongchuan Che's eyebrows twitched.

What’s interesting is that it was only after Akiyama Kaori drank one or two glasses of tiger penis wine that she asked what the wine was and why it was so spicy. After hearing the answer, she almost spit out the wine.

A 30-year-old single woman, drinking tiger whip wine late at night, plus it's a bit stuffy tonight.
Very serious consequences.

After chatting for a while, Akiyama Kaori's face gradually turned red, and she was teased by Yuezhu Asuka.

But fortunately, the three of them ate and drank, and chatted about handheld game consoles and family matters. After a while, the backyard of the seafood restaurant became lively.

"Huh - I didn't expect that after all these years, there are still people playing volleyball and surfing here at night."

Akiyama Kaori, whose face was flushed and already a little tipsy, was eating fried clams while fanning the snow-capped mountains inside her white shirt with a small round fan, her eyes looking towards the brightly lit backyard behind the restaurant.

This seafood restaurant is right on the beach in Kamakura. Not only does the food taste great, but there are also several beach volleyball courts in the backyard, as well as a surfing area surrounded by buoys.

It must be said that most ordinary people in Japan are usually distant or cold. They don't seem to be the type who can easily chat and socialize with others. But in fact, there are very few people who really don't like socializing at all. It's just that they are influenced by the social atmosphere or have heavy psychological burdens, so they usually appear to be dull.

Those who eat seafood at this time are all energetic young people. On the other hand, alcohol is indeed the best emotional catalyst.

As several fashionable hot girls from Shibuya changed into sexy bikinis and ran to play beach volleyball, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant became more lively.

"Come to think of it, do you remember when we played volleyball here when we were little? We beat a lot of adults."

Looking at the young men and women playing beach volleyball under the lights, Kaori Akiyama's eyes were full of memories.

Yuezhu Feiniao chewed the lobster meat that Dongchuan Che fed him. His little face moved like a sticky cake as he chewed. He smiled and said, "Of course I remember. I still remember that an adult lost five games to us in a row. He felt very embarrassed and wanted to cause trouble for us. As a result, Mr. Black Crow and his men smashed his car."

"Haha, you're talking about that incident. That guy was really lame. He was an adult but he couldn't even beat a junior high school student, and he got angry out of shame. Just smashing his car was good enough. If it weren't for the crackdown in those years, I would have tied him to the front of the car and paraded him through the streets."

Akiyama Kaori said fiercely.

Dongchuan Che next to him smiled and shook his head.

To be honest, Dongchuan Che had seen all kinds of women, but this was the first time he had seen a woman like Akiyama Kaori who had a bright and charming appearance and the aura of a gangster's daughter.

Quite interesting.

In his previous life, he had read a lot of Japanese comics, in which many female characters were the daughters of gangsters. However, many Japanese comics portrayed the daughters of gangsters as tsundere little lolita.

This is the most typical contrast creation, which is the same as the colorful hair of characters in early Japanese anime, the purpose is to increase the audience's impression. However, Dongchuan Che always felt that this was a bit inconsistent, or
"I am born to be a mature woman lover?"

After drinking a lot of wine, Dongchuan Che's mind began to wander slightly. But before he could let his mind wander for a while, Akiyama Kaori on the other side excitedly said to Yuezhu Asuka: "How about we go play again?"

"Hey~ now? Can I, Che~ go play volleyball?"

Yuezhu Asuka's little face, which was rosy from drinking, was full of joy, and then she suddenly thought of something. She scratched the back of her head apologetically and stuck out her tongue at Dongchuan Che.

It has been more than two months since she fractured her ankle and she is almost healed, but she is very lazy and likes to act coquettishly with Dongchuan Che, so she usually either drives around the recording site in her electric wheelchair shamelessly or asks Dongchuan Che for a hug.

This was the case when she came out this afternoon. She had actually changed into her stockings and put on her shoes in the room, but as soon as Dong Chuan Che knocked on the door, she immediately took off her Martin boots and put on little white rabbit slippers, looking at Dong Chuan Che with an expression as if to say, "I can't walk, need you to carry me."

I couldn’t [walk] in the afternoon, and now I want to play volleyball.

The little thoughts are exposed.

Looking at her cute little face, Dong Chuan Che smiled and shook his head, "Go ahead and play if you want to, just don't move too much."

"Yeah! Che is really the best!"

Yuezhu Asuka leaned over and kissed Dongchuan Che heavily on the cheek, then stood up and stroked his hair, saying, "I'm going to the bathroom first. My swimsuit is in the car, please get it for me. Um, there's another unopened one, bring it over too, it's perfect for Sister Kaori to wear."

".I actually prepared a swimsuit in advance."

"Hehe~~~"

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Pinching Yuezhu Feiniao's cute little nose, Dongchuan Che asked the waiter to move the remaining things to the beach and set up a barbecue grill, then he went out to find a swimsuit in the car.

To be honest, Yuezhu Feiniao had a great figure, and he also wanted to see Yuezhu Feiniao in a swimsuit. However, as the cigarette butt was stamped out outside the car door, looking at the black bikini in his hand, which was connected by a ribbon and had only two small squares and a long triangle, Dongchuan Che decided to stay in Bengbu.

"This is too sexy! No way!"

Dongchuan Che is not an old-fashioned conservative. He doesn't mind if women like to wear sexy clothes and swimsuits. But this kind of swimsuit is not suitable for wearing outside.
Absolutely not!

With a frown on his face, Dongchuan Che went straight to the shop next to the restaurant. Looking at the various swimsuits on the wall, he pointed at the black and white swimsuits.

"Boss, these two sets, D, one D, one F."
