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

Chapter 344 Daily Life

Looking at Kaori Akiyama cheering enthusiastically in the audience stands at the stadium, Toru Fuyukawa's expression became a little strange.

"What a coincidence! Is this woman following me?"

Recently, it is the graduation season for major universities in Japan, and some celebrities are invited to give speeches, which is a relatively normal thing. He thought it was normal to meet her once or twice, but recently, no matter where he went, he could see Akiyama Kaori.

"It seems like either the Akiyama family is in a hurry, or she is in a hurry herself. Otherwise, there is no reason for her to use such an obvious method to show her presence in front of me."

Dongchuan Che's eyes flickered with a thoughtful look. He didn't think it was a coincidence, but he didn't think about it in terms of a relationship between a man and a woman.

Although I heard that Akiyama Kaori has a good reputation in relationships and has never heard of any rumors of having an affair with anyone, she is a strong woman in the Akiyama family after all, rich and powerful. If she really wants to find a man, what man can she not find?

Eliminating several wrong answers, the only possibility is that Akiyama Kaori wants to talk to me about cooperation, and her attitude is quite urgent.
"Although you are very eager, do you still want to save your dignity? This won't do. If you want to cooperate, at least you should shake your butt to please me. Are you waiting for me to come to you?"

Thinking of this, Fuyukawa Che looked at Akiyama Kaori again.

His gaze paused for two seconds, and when he found that the other party did not turn around to look at him, he did not take the initiative to say hello, but just raised a slight smile, and then continued to walk towards the lecture hall with the still chattering Izumi Himawari. His figure had just disappeared at the intersection of the campus, and the smile on Akiyama Kaori, who had been cheering happily, gradually faded.

"He saw me, but he also guessed what I was thinking. He was waiting for me to wag my tail!"

There was a hint of frustration in Akiyama Kaori's eyes, and she clenched her little fists with red nail polish.

Yes, it was not accidental that she came to Tokyo University of the Arts today, but because she heard that Toru Dongchuan would be giving a speech here this afternoon.

Normally, because they were discussing business cooperation and because of Yuezhu Feiniao, she should have gone directly to Shengguang Club to meet with Dongchuan Che. But on the other hand, things became more complicated after the STEA dinner last night.

Although no one is sure whether GOGO can kill OTTO, Fuyukawa Tetsu's performance last night has already won over many of his peers in the industry. At least, those peers have already decided to list their past works on GOGO.

Although this does not mean that Dongchuan Che has taken off, it definitely means that Dongchuan Che has already raised his flag on the top of the mountain!

This is a great thing for everyone in the Holy Light Society and Toru Fuyukawa himself, but it is not a good thing for her, Kaori Akiyama.

In her opinion, the faster Shengguangshe's PC platform business develops, the more chances it has of success, and the less attention Dongchuan Che will pay to the handheld field, after all, fighting on two fronts is troublesome. This may affect Dongchuan Che's thinking and delay his entry into the handheld field.

Second.

After the dinner last night, the cooperation between SATE and Holy Light Society was further deepened, and SATE itself is also interested in the field of handheld games. Otherwise, SATE would not have tried so hard to get into the Hawaii Game Alliance.

What does this mean?
This means that the alliance centered around [Toru Fuyukawa] + [Senior Managing Director Kuriyama] is likely to span consoles, handhelds, and PCs in the future!

Akiyama Kaori naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity. However, through her previous contact with Fuyukawa Tetsu, she found that Fuyukawa Tetsu was indeed a man of top quality in terms of ability, talent, and character. However, when Fuyukawa Tetsu was dealing with serious matters, his personality would become very strong and confident, and his desire for control was also overwhelming.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

People who lack confidence cannot be leaders, and strong leaders are more likely to take care of the interests of their subordinates when facing external enemies. But the desire for control is a troublesome thing.

Who can guarantee that Dongchuan Che will not have any ideas about the shares of their Akiyama family after he becomes powerful?
Who can guarantee that, after GOGO and the future handheld game console platforms have established a firm foothold, Dongchuan Che will not, due to his excessive desire for control, kick the Akiyama family out and support a subsidiary of his own?

There are not too many such examples in history books. The first thing most emperors did after ascending the throne was to dismiss their meritorious officials, or even directly kill those generals and civil officials who had made great contributions. But there are exceptions to everything, such as Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was a rare emperor in Chinese history who did not stabilize his power by killing his followers, and even built the Lingyan Pavilion. However, such great leaders can be counted on one's fingers throughout history. In Akiyama Kaori's opinion, the key factor here is whether Fuyukawa Che's desire for control comes from his ambition or from his anxiety.

Some people have a strong desire for control, and the essence is just because they are afraid of being overthrown by others. Out of the most primitive self-preservation instinct of biological organisms, such people will naturally want to control everything in their hands.

Some people have a strong desire for control because they are ambitious and have strong self-confidence. They feel that only by taking control of everything and allocating and controlling it themselves can they maximize their benefits.

There is an essential difference between the two. Kaori Akiyama doesn't know which one of them is Toru Fuyukawa. Therefore, she also wants to have more contact with Toru Fuyukawa and understand more about his character, so as to facilitate planning the future direction of the Akiyama family.

That was why she was planning to have a [chance encounter] with Dongchuan Che today, hoping to have a chat with Dongchuan Che in a state of life where his true nature was more easily revealed. However, she didn't expect that Dongchuan Che could easily see through her little tricks.

"Tsk, why does a man need to be so smart?"

"But it seems that I can only take the initiative to show my good will."

in business.

The party in a disadvantaged position in cooperation will naturally take the initiative to smile. This is reasonable, but.
Thinking of the unbridled and slightly teasing look from Dongchuan Che just now, the dissatisfaction and frustration in Akiyama Kaori's eyes became even stronger. But there was nothing she could do, the situation was stronger than she was.

"What a disgusting man."

She looked up at her watch and saw that the time for the speech was almost up. She frowned slightly, complained secretly, then turned around and walked towards the classroom.

However, she did not notice that just after she turned around, a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap not far away tilted his head slightly and looked at her sexy and enchanting back, with coldness and hatred flashing in his eyes.

"A woman from the Akiyama family? Humph, it's time to charge some interest!"
.
Fuyukawa Che didn't know what Akiyama Kaori was thinking, and Fuyukawa Che didn't know that someone was targeting Akiyama Kaori.

He had just arrived at the lecture hall and now felt his head buzzing.

There was no reason. He, Fuyukawa Tetsu, was the most famous boss in the Japanese entertainment industry in the past two years. In addition, although the work pressure at Shengguangshe was high and the entry threshold was high, the benefits were far better than those of its peers, which was also known to everyone. Moreover, Shengguangshe had many types of businesses, including games, animation, music, variety shows, and almost all entertainment-related businesses, except color movies.

There are many students who are eager to join the Holy Light Society, and there are also many students who have the professional expertise to enter the Holy Light Society.

Adding the two together, when Dong Chuan Che, led by a vice-president, calmly walked up to the podium and took off his sunglasses with a smile, the entire lecture hall was in an uproar.

"Masaka! Is it really that Dongchuan Che?! He came so early?!"

"Yoshi! It seems like he takes our school very seriously!"

"Si Guoyi, he is much younger than I thought."

"As expected, only young people who become bosses will give workers more benefits! The old guys from the Showa era can only use words like 'We suffered so much when we were young, so your little overtime is nothing' to put pressure on us!"

"Did you guys check the news this morning? It seems like their company is about to launch two big projects, and this recruitment is mainly to fill the manpower gap."

"I heard about it. Two mega projects worth 300 million US dollars! It's scary."

"Why do you think so many people came here today? They are all thinking about how to enter the Holy Light Society!"

"That's something for you game-related majors to consider. I'm mainly interested in the structure of Shengguangshe, which integrates comics and animation. I heard that their comic website is also in need of cartoonists right now. As long as the work can gain influence, the threshold for adapting it into an animation is relatively low."

"It's not just games and animation, but also music and performance. Their companies are very short of people now. But I heard from several seniors who have already graduated that the reason why Shengguang Society is short of people is that the entry threshold is very high. Even students from the University of Tokyo may not be able to get the job 100%. On our side, there are hundreds of people in this lecture hall now. Even if all of them submit their resumes, only about a dozen of them will be able to get the job." The atmosphere in the lecture hall was very lively.

Some people are very curious about Dongchuan Che; some people dream of joining a big company and achieving great success; and some people are more conservative and don't think they can join the Holy Light Society.

The atmosphere was noisy, but looking at the young faces in the audience, Dongchuan Che was particularly relaxed. He was serious at work, but if he had a choice, he would still prefer to stay in a more relaxed environment. For adults who have graduated, campus may be one of the most relaxing and nostalgic environments.

Feeling these gazes of admiration or curiosity, Dongchuan Che did not put on airs or keep people in suspense. He simply greeted them and then began today's speech.

However, although it is called a speech, the main content is actually to talk about the company culture of Holy Light Society, some of Dongchuan Che's own work experiences, what young people need to think about when entering the society, and the future development direction and salary levels of Holy Light Society, etc.

What do young people need to think about when entering society?
There is actually nothing much to talk about these things. People can’t teach others, so things can only teach people once.

Dong Chuan Che felt that no matter how much he said about the evils of society, it was all nonsense. Moreover, fate was a magical thing. Some people were not actually excellent, but they met their lifelong lovers in junior high and high school. However, some people graduated from school and worked hard to make money in society, and they worked much harder than their peers, but in the end they only met a green tea.

If Dong Chuan Che advises young people to be more patient in the workplace, what if they encounter a black-hearted boss who bullies the weak and fears the strong? They will be squeezed to death.

Similarly, if he advises young people to speak their mind in the workplace and not to keep their anger to themselves, what if they run into a tough guy with a backer?
Everyone's life circumstances are different, there is no formula to follow.

Dongchuan Che felt that it was a bit arrogant to serve as a life mentor to others based on his own personal opinions.

I don't want to talk about life, but it's nice to talk about other things. For students who haven't entered society yet, Dongchuan Che's casual talk about a few interesting things that happened in the company is enough to make them exclaim.

Especially when he said that [Holy Light Society aims to recruit 2,000 new employees this year], the entire lecture hall was in an uproar!

Not only the lecture hall, but the entire classroom was already packed with people. The steps were full of people sitting on them, and the last row was full of people standing. In fact, people were gathered outside the door. Although they couldn't see Dong Chuan Che's face, they could hear his voice through the microphone.

Recruiting two thousand new employees!

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the lecture hall, but the entire No. 1 teaching building completely exploded!
Everyone's face showed expressions of shock and ecstasy!

Most of the graduating students who were willing to attend this kind of lecture would also take the initiative to pay attention to the industry's market conditions. Therefore, many of them knew that the Holy Light Society would conduct a large-scale recruitment this year, but they never expected that they would recruit 2,000 new employees!
In the previous life, the glorious pants-stripping demon had a company with a total of only two thousand employees.

Capcom has less than 3,000 employees, while Toru Fuyukawa recruits 2,000 employees a year!

This not only means that these students have more opportunities, but also indirectly proves that the news this morning is true!

The Holy Light Society itself has more than 3,000 employees, and now it needs to recruit more than 2,000 new ones.

A large factory with 5,000 employees!

The scale is terrifying, but why does it require 5,000 people? !

It is obvious that Tohru Dongchuan really wants to spend 600 million US dollars to make a game, and it wants to be a top-notch masterpiece!

Describe it in simple terms.

Why does Black Monkey have so many air walls, and why does the map really feel a bit large and empty?
The essence is because of the shortage of manpower.

The core team of FS Studios working on Elden Ring was about 3 people. The core team of Youke working on Black Monkey was just over people, and they had almost no experience in A standalone games, so they would definitely take many detours and not have enough time.

Even the team of more than 500 people in "Elden Ring" encountered insufficient production capacity in the later maps, resulting in empty maps with a lack of content.

If you want to create a top-notch masterpiece, a large production team is an essential part.

Or think about it from another perspective, Dongchuan Che recruited so many people just to do something big!

You must at least have lofty ambitions and promise to be the best in the world.

Young people are always passionate and eager to do something big. On the one hand, this is because they have not been beaten by society, but more importantly, it is because of physiological factors.

It’s like many people feel that masturbating once a day is not enough when they are in their twenties, but when they reach their early thirties, their desires naturally decrease, and they don’t enjoy any movies.

Driven by hormones, the students were all excited and clamoring to go back and submit their resumes. In this lively atmosphere, Dongchuan Che also finished today's lecture. After shaking hands with the vice president and exchanging a few words, he sneaked away from the side door with Izumi Himawari.
.
"It looks like Sayoko and the others will be busy again these few days."

Holding Fuyukawa Tetsu's arm, Izumi Himawari had a proud smile on her face. Although she was used to Fuyukawa Tetsu being respected or admired wherever he went, she couldn't help feeling a little proud when she thought of the classmates who looked at her with admiration.

"I can't help it. Interviews are definitely troublesome. If you are free these days, you can go and help. By the way, didn't you say you had an appointment with Yumi? Where is she?"

Dongchuan Che smiled and drank a sip of water, tilting his head and slightly raising his eyebrows. Today, Izumi Himawari accompanied him to Tokyo University of the Arts. On the one hand, it had been a long time since the two of them had been alone together, and she wanted to act like a spoiled child. On the other hand, it was also because her best friend Yumi was coming to Tokyo University of the Arts today.

After marriage, Yumi became a good friend of Izumi Himawari in high school. Although they are not so close because one is in Tokyo University of the Arts and the other is in Tsukuba University, they still often go to watch the Japanese football J-League together, go shopping together, and their relationship is still very close. After marriage, Yumi's boyfriend happens to be a member of the Tsukuba University football team, so today he also said that he would come as a cheering team.

Izumi Himawari took out her phone with a bunny shell from her pocket, swiped her finger and glanced at it, then said excitedly: "Yumi said she's already at the football field, right over there, let's go over there."

This is the path behind the teaching building. Although it is relatively secluded, it is not far from the stadium. You can see the crowds of people over there through the green barbed wire.

Dong Chuan Che looked up, then smiled and said, "How about you go over first? I've just been talking for a long time, I have to find a toilet first."

"Hehe, lazy people are more likely to pee and poop! Okay, I'll go over first. By the way, there's a toilet on the first floor of the old teaching building over there. There aren't many people there, so you don't have to wait in line."

"Got it. I'll call you later. Be safe."

"I know~ that stinky uncle is attacking again!"

He pinched Izumi Himawari's little peach hard, causing her to grumble. She ran a few steps away and turned back to make a face at him. Only then did Dongchuan Che smile and waved his hand.

After saying goodbye to the lively little girl Izumi Himawari, Dongchuan Che, who had been standing on the podium for half a day, stretched lazily, threw the mineral water bottle into the trash can, and then turned and walked towards the old teaching building next to him where there were few people.

Today is the school anniversary, and there are many people on the campus of Tokyo University of the Arts. However, the campus of Tokyo University of the Arts is located in Ueno Park and covers a large area. In addition, there are no classes today, and many lectures have not ended yet. Dongchuan Che walked along the path with only three or two desolate cherry trees. He didn't meet anyone along the way, and when he walked to the old teaching building, this feeling became even stronger.

"Tsk, it turns out that empty hospitals and empty schools are the scariest."

There were not many students in the old teaching building, and it was still spring. As soon as Dong Chuan Che walked into the first floor, he immediately felt a gust of cold air.

Not liking this kind of environment very much, Toru Fuyukawa went straight to the toilet that Izumi Himawari mentioned, but when he passed the health room, his ears moved.

"This is."
