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

Chapter 362: Roommate's Years of Life in Exchange for This Chance

With the popularity of "FGO", Toru Fuyukawa's value is getting higher day by day.

Before he went to the Akiyama family, his estimated net worth was still 3 billion US dollars. However, two weeks after the release of "FGO", the revenue remained stable and high, and it gained a super good reputation among gamers around the world. His current net worth has reached 4 billion US dollars.

It sounds scary, but this thing is actually the same as housing prices, a valuation bubble that has not yet been realized.

This net worth estimate is not his net worth, but the number obtained after valuing a series of assets including the three buildings of the Holy Light Society, many game IPs such as "Fate", "FGO", "Elden Ring", as well as music copyrights, novel copyrights, GOGO platform, etc. It is not the actual money in the account.

If we remove the costs of the ongoing expansion packs for World of Warcraft, Pokémon, and FGO, as well as the music and light novel departments, and remove the 18-month salary of the 3,000 new employees and employees not in the two major project development teams, the cash that the Holy Light Society can freely dispose of is actually just over 100 million US dollars.

As for why we need to keep eighteen months of employee wages in the account, it is because it serves as an insurance policy.

The gaming industry is changing very quickly, and there is a huge gap between the upper and lower limits. Dongchuan Che cannot guarantee that every one of his works will be a hit.

What if several of his works fail in a row?
As the saying goes, when luck comes, heaven and earth will lend you strength, when luck is gone, heroes will be helpless. When luck is good, everything goes well for you, but when luck is bad, everything goes badly for you.

On the one hand, Dongchuan Che has now established a firm foothold, so there is no need to risk his life like before. What he needs more is to take steady steps and lay a firmer foundation. On the other hand, he is now a family man with a family of women to support.
Although Miyano Mitsuba and the others didn't really need him, Toru, to support them, they were all women with strong career abilities, and even if the Holy Light Society collapsed, they would still be able to thrive in the workplace, and they were even willing to make money to support him. But Toru was a bit chauvinistic, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see his women working for someone else and having to look at someone else's face.

Therefore, he still wanted to leave himself more room for maneuver. For example, he would keep enough money in the company's account to pay employees' salaries for 18 months, so that even if he faced a huge failure, he would have more than a year to make a comeback.

Dongchuan Che has always been very rational in his career, whether he should charge or retreat.
This is just like some celebrities who cry poor and say things like "I only have $500,000 left in my bank account and I can't sleep well". Dong Chuan Che is worth three or four billion US dollars and feels that leaving only over $100 million for himself for research and development is a bit shabby. However, for ordinary people outside, over $100 million is actually an extremely exaggerated number.

Especially for those fresh graduates who just graduated from college and were interviewed by Aunt Noki and that boy Kawaguchi some time ago.
.
Today is the day for the Holy Light Society to welcome new members.

Early in the morning, the third floor of the Holy Light Society's red building was packed with people.

The young men and women who received the employment notices were all nervous and looking around expectantly. Some of the more obedient ones waited obediently in the meeting room, while some of the more lively ones would secretly look around in the corridors. Some of the rare Japanese new employees would even look through the windows at their seniors working in the office, looking very sneaky.

The atmosphere was very lively, and when they saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning, a lot of seniors were still leisurely eating breakfast and drinking morning tea, and even saw some old employees who obviously did not go home last night because of overtime, and walked out of the lounge in pajamas with toothpaste and toothbrushes. The newcomers were all shocked, and they all called Sri Lanka the best.

Honestly speaking, Shengguangshe has been very popular in the past two years, and not only because Shengguangshe is a well-known company with a wide business coverage area and can accommodate enough employment, but also because Shengguangshe's welfare benefits are also the highest in the world, and it has a very good reputation among workers in the industry.

However, as the saying goes, where there is profit, there is competition. The high welfare benefits given by Dongchuan Che are seen by some other bosses as a complete business theft, which is not conducive to the struggle of young people and will also affect the fighting spirit and stability of their company's employees. Therefore, many people in the outside world are also discrediting the Holy Light Society.

On one hand, there are praises from the school’s seniors who have already graduated, and on the other hand, there are insults and smears on the Internet.

This contradictory public opinion environment also made the newly recruited graduates feel a little uneasy before today. However, when they really entered the Holy Light Society today, all their concerns and doubts disappeared.

Facts speak louder than words, and facts are also better than sophistry.

No matter how the outside world smears it, the real atmosphere inside the Holy Light Society cannot be deceived. In a company where the treatment in all aspects is not good and the management is also flawed, it is impossible to have such a relaxed atmosphere as the Holy Light Society.

but
This feeling of relaxation didn't last long.

As time approached 10 a.m., just as these new employees began to imagine that after joining the company, they would have a leisurely morning tea like their predecessors, then go to the air-conditioned office to work, drink a cup of coffee when they were tired, stand by the window and quietly look at the scenery, and then continue to work. In their shocked eyes, the entire Holy Light Society came alive.

There were shouting, the sound of keyboards, the sound of high heels on tiles, and the busy "clicking" of printers.

The atmosphere, which was very lazy just now, suddenly became noisy and everyone quickly got down to work.

"Siguo pinch~~~This is too powerful!"

“I thought that was just their working state.”

"What are you thinking? Although our company has the best benefits in the industry, I saw a report that said our company's overtime hours are almost the longest in Japan and even the world."

"That's for sure. Don't you think about how much money you can make working here for a year? Let me tell you a secret. I know a senior who works in Group 6. She told me that last year, after taking into account dividends and performance, her income was almost nine figures! Although she graduated with a doctorate, she has only been working for more than two years!"

"Masaka?! Nine digits?! Is this true?"

"It should be true. I've seen someone leak the company's internal salary slips online before. The basic salary is much higher than other companies. As for the dividend and performance ratio, it seems to be divided according to the sales volume of the work. The lower limit is similar to other companies, but the upper limit is said to be more than two to three times higher than other companies."

"That's really scary. But it makes sense. Although the company's works have high sales, the production costs are also the highest in the industry. The expenditure of this cost is mainly our salary and dividend performance benefits. In addition, the company is currently in short supply of middle-level managers. Although your senior sister has only been working for two years, she graduated with a doctorate from the University of Tokyo and should be at least a section chief now."

"Yes, she used to work at NTsoft. I think she met the president while working on The Binding of Isaac or Diver Dave. But because she wasn't from Hikari Studio, she paid the NTsoft termination fee out of her own pocket, and then left NTsoft with the president."

"This is the [founding father]!"

"Oh! You mean Satomi-senpai! I know her. I heard that she is now the focus of training for Miyano. If she can practice two more projects, she might be promoted to director directly, skipping the position of vice director! You have this relationship with Satomi-senpai, but you must grasp it well~ maybe you can save yourself decades of detours."

"Don't talk nonsense, there's no way that Satomi-senpai would look down on a nobody like me."

"Hahaha, be more confident. A man can lack anything except confidence! But then again, a director who is less than 30 years old. It's just like what I said during the campus recruitment interview. The company doesn't value qualifications. As long as you have strong ability, promotion will come quickly."

"It's actually logical. After all, both Miyano and Ohara became department heads when they were 26 or 27 years old. They came this far themselves, so they will definitely have more confidence in young people."

"Keep your voice down! What do you mean by promoting young people? Managing Director Miyano is only in his early thirties this year. If you say that, she will... Managing Director Miyano and Vice President Kawachi are here!"

"Siguoyi! Is this true? The real CEO is even sexier than what's shown on the news!"

"Beautiful boss, my god, I don't know which lucky guy with these black stockings and beautiful legs will be assigned to the department of General Manager Miyano."

"What are you thinking about? Managing Director Miyano is no longer in charge of specific projects. He is in charge of strategic planning. But compared to a cold and beautiful woman like Managing Director Miyano, I would rather go to the gentle Vice President Kawachi."

"Stop daydreaming! We're about to be divided into groups! We don't even know which group we'll be assigned to!"

“It would be great if I could get into the top three groups!”

"The first three groups?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you really don't want to do some background checks? I'm really impressed by you. Let me put it this way, Group 1 is composed of the old employees of Guangniao Studio, and is also the core development team of "Elden Ring". Currently, they are one of the most technically capable teams in the company;

Team 2 was transformed from Director Koyama's "Super Awesome Studio". In terms of technical ability, although Director Koyama is a top expert in the industry, overall, their technical ability is still slightly inferior to Team 1. However, because they came from a studio, their overall production efficiency is a little stronger than Team 1. They were also the team that received the most overtime pay last year.

The main reason for the outstanding artistic ability of Group 3 is that the main artists of works such as "Fate", "FGO" and "Elden Ring" are all the deputy group leader of Group 3 - Vice President Kawachi, so the atmosphere in the whole group is more relaxed than that of other groups. "Eh, Vice President Kawachi is only the deputy group leader?! The group leader of Group 3 is a big shot?!"

"You think too much. I heard that it was mainly because Vice President Hanoi is a very gentle woman who is not good at and does not like management. It was the president who persuaded her to become a deputy team leader. And let me tell you, I heard that in the company, even if you have an argument with the deputy director, it's no big deal as long as you are right. But if you offend Vice President Hanoi, wouldn't you always want to see the president in person? Well, go and yell at Vice President Hanoi, and I guarantee that within five minutes you will see the president in person."

"Bah~ga~ I'm not crazy. But, which group do you think we will be assigned to this time?"

"Who knows? But I heard that the president introduced an incentive clause a few days ago for veterans to mentor newcomers. No matter which group we go to, there will be a mentor. Sri Lanka! The more I think about it, the more excited I am. How many companies in the world will have bosses pay veteran employees to mentor newcomers?! The president is simply my super idol Masaka! What's going on?! The president is here?!"

"Is this true? The president is here?! Is something big going to happen?!"

In the conference hall of the welcome ceremony, several newly graduated boys were chatting excitedly, and the focus of their conversation was naturally the internal situation of the Holy Light Society.

After two years of development, the Holy Light Society is no longer what it originally was. Although Toru Fuyukawa is still the president, Miyano Mitsuko and others have been promoted from department heads to executive directors, and even Sayoko has become vice president.

But strictly speaking, it can't be considered a promotion. From the beginning, Miyano Mitsuha and her colleagues had shares in the Holy Light Society, and their functions and rights were similar to those of the managing director, or even greater. As for Sayoko, she really had no interest in management work. She felt worse than the employees when she was asked to teach them a lesson with a stern face. Therefore, she was only the vice president, but she hardly participated in management work.

What's interesting is that the general manager may still be someone that ordinary employees can look up to, but the executive director and vice president are positions that ordinary employees don't even dare to look up at. As for the president, especially the president Fuyukawa Tetsu who has a legendary resume.
The young boys and girls present were already very excited to see Miyano Miyano and Sayoko coming to the meeting, but they never expected that Fuyukawa Che was also here!

Seeing Toru Fuyukawa, who was forced to wear a neat suit by Sayoko on the grounds that "a president should act like a president" and had gold-rimmed glasses made by Miyano Miyano, walk onto the stage, the entire audience was completely boiling!

For those who are working in the entertainment industry in Japan today, Toru Fuyukawa’s appeal is too great. And in the eyes of these young people who have just graduated and entered the society, Toru Fuyukawa is even more of a legendary figure!
The vast majority of people come to the Holy Light Society just for Dongchuan Che.

Excited, extremely excited.

No one expected Dong Chuan Che to host the company's new employee induction meeting today. Everyone was excited, especially the young girls in the front row, who were screaming with excitement.

There was no other way. Generally speaking, unless he was going to a formal occasion outside, Dongchuan Che didn't like to wear a suit. Besides, the weather had been getting hot recently, so he usually wore jeans and a T-shirt to work, and sometimes he even wore floral shorts and a T-shirt. As for his hair, he was too lazy to take care of it, and he just wanted to look casual and chic. But today, Miyano Mitsuko and Sayoko had him in the office cubicle and had him properly "dress up".

What's even more interesting is that, perhaps because the women in the family are all in their early thirties, in order to prevent themselves and Dongchuan Che from looking like "an aunt and her kept young puppy", when they style Dongchuan Che now, they also start to dress him up like a mature, elegant and handsome uncle.

Chika Ohara even deliberately asked Toru Fuyukawa to leave some stubble on his chin, saying that the rough friction of the stubble made her feel better during [certain interactions].

It’s a very perverted habit, but it has to be said that Dongchuan Che, who has a mature style, is more lethal to women.

Some of the little girls in the front row were screaming and yelling, and even some of the female staff members who were temporarily serving as staff on the scene were watching with shining eyes.

The attraction is very great.

Seeing this, Sayoko and Miyano Mitsuko both felt a little proud, but after this little feeling of pride, the two of them were very synchronized and took two steps closer to Dongchuan Che without making a sound. The intimate attitude and distance between them seemed as if they were declaring their sovereignty to others.

She wants to show off her man, but she is afraid that her man will be entangled with other women.

Very interesting emotions.

Feeling their little movements, Dongchuan Che also revealed a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and turned his head to wink at the two girls. The result was naturally that the two girls blushed slightly.

When she frowned, her face turned slightly red.

Normally, an old couple wouldn't do this. But in order to punish Dongchuan Che, the family hadn't had any intimate interaction for four or five days.

This kind of thing naturally made Dongchuan Che, who was used to eating big fish and meat, feel a little suffocated, but he was not the only one who felt suffocated. Sayoko and the others were now in their early thirties, and after such a long time of getting along, they had already become like Dongchuan Che, and their X values ​​had long been maxed out by Dongchuan Che.

If Dongchuan Che was feeling very anxious, then they were now about to explode. Even a woman with such fair skin as Miyano Mitsuko had a small pimple on her chin.

This is enough to show that they have all become volcanoes that are about to erupt, or in other words, [magma] has begun to overflow, and they are super-hydraulic volcanoes that can explode at any time!
"It looks like the ban can be unlocked early tonight."

Feeling the shyness and desire in the eyes of the two women, Dongchuan Che's heart was also warmed. However, as the newlyweds at the scene quieted down, he also suppressed his anger and turned his thoughts back to the scene.

Facing these young faces full of expectations, Dongchuan Che did not put on airs. Instead, he began to introduce himself in a humorous way and then talked about the company's development direction.

Outstanding effect.

Japanese companies are generally well-organized, and subordinates must bow and greet their superiors, and the atmosphere is generally quite serious. It is rare to find a boss like Fuyukawa Che who treats people equally and humorously, and his relaxed mood also boosted the mood of the newcomers on the scene. The atmosphere was very warm and exciting during the introduction process, but this was just the beginning.

After making some brief introductions, Dongchuan Che didn't waste any time and directly announced that he would lead the team again and select 800 people from the new recruits to form a new working group.

Silence!

If the entire venue was still extremely lively just now, then when Dongchuan Che said, "I will select 800 people from you to form a new team, and then complete a low-budget work within two months," the entire venue became completely quiet!

Everyone was stunned!

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at me and me at you!
It was not until three seconds later that the entire venue began to boil like a volcano erupting!
The president has to personally train the newcomers!

Who would have thought of this!

These newcomers were just curious about which group they would join and were still calculating which group would have better development prospects, but they didn't expect Dongchuan Che to come directly with a big move!

Dongchuan Che leads the team personally!
A low-budget work by Toru Fuyukawa!
Who is not confused after hearing this?

You should know that before making "Elden Ring", Toru Fuyukawa was called the "King of Low Cost" by many people in the industry!
"The Binding of Isaac", "Diver Dave", "Stardew Valley", and "FATE" are all low-cost works recognized by the industry as representative of a certain theme!
Moreover, this will not only bring them a large amount of dividends, but also allow them to learn closely from Dongchuan Che!
Pie from heaven!

The young boys and girls present were all stunned by this sudden huge pie falling from the sky, and they all started shouting excitedly!
"What? Is this true? Did I hear it right? The president said he would lead the team himself?!"

"The chance to change my fate has come! If I can study with the president, I will make those kids cry with envy at the class reunion!!!"

“Please God, let me be selected!”

"I'd trade my roommate's fifty years of life for this one chance!"
