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

Chapter 397 New Year's Eve
This year's New Year was celebrated by Dongchuan Che in an especially lively manner.

On the one hand, there were a lot of guests, including relatives, friends, and acquaintances from work, making the place extremely lively.

What’s interesting is that the current Fuyukawa family’s home is just a reconstruction on the original site, and the surrounding area is still an ordinary residential area. It must be said that the people who can visit the Fuyukawa family now are truly all common people.

On New Year's Day, many neighbors watched the luxury cars passing by the door, and when they saw that the people who came to Dongchuan's house to pay New Year's greetings included not only business tycoons in luxury cars, but also some big stars who often appeared on TV, many neighbors were shocked and secretly exclaimed. They lamented that Dongchuan Che, who was an ordinary office worker a few years ago, has now transformed into a powerful business tycoon.

Dongchuan Che naturally didn't care about what his neighbors thought. He was just immersed in the joy of the New Year.

To be honest, he doesn't like a noisy life, but on some important holidays, it's still fun to have a lively home.
Unlike the previous two years, as he is about to turn 30 and Miyano Mitsuko and the others are also in their early 30s, some of his friends are also almost at the age to get married and have babies.

Last year, Miyano Mitsuwa and Ohara Chika attended countless wedding banquets, their son's full moon banquets, and so on. So, during the Chinese New Year this year, many of Miyano Mitsuwa's friends came to visit with their babies. It was obvious that Sayoko and her friends were now mature women in their early thirties, and they particularly liked children, but they were too busy with work and had not had a baby yet.

So, in the first few days of the New Year, under the helpless and amused look of Dongchuan Che, every time they saw friends coming to the house with children, Sayoko and the others would roll their eyes at Dongchuan Che.

There are even a few very close friends, such as Mei who married Kawaguchi in the middle of last year, Sayoko's sister Keiko, and Koishi Ryoko from Miyano Mitani's "Tokyo Rich Wives" circle. They would take the initiative to chat with Dongchuan Tetsu when he plans to have children. Whenever this topic comes up, the women in the family will open up.

Even Oohara Chika and Yuezhu Asuka, who usually don't talk much, would come over and whisper a few words, tease the baby, and glance at Dongchuan Che, making Dongchuan Che, who was hiding on the balcony smoking, feel helpless and amused.

To be honest, he also wanted a baby.

Not to mention having a child, he also wanted to live a life where he didn't have to carry a box of Okamoto cigarettes every day when he went out. He also hoped to be able to communicate with the mature and beautiful woman at home without any barriers, but there was nothing he could do.

Although raising children is no longer a financial burden for him, he does not want his children to lack fatherly love in their childhood because of his work.

In half a month, as long as the release of World of Warcraft is not a failure, the PC gaming platform will be able to stabilize. What needs to be done after that is to take it slow and rely on various masterpieces in the past to eat up the market share of the OTTO platform bit by bit.

By the same token, as long as "Pokemon" becomes as popular as expected, the handheld platform can also gain a foothold, and then we can take our time.

The two games were released within less than two months.

Dong Chuan Che was also looking forward to living a carefree life with many wives and concubines, children and grandchildren in the future. Moreover, it was not only him who was looking forward to it, but also not only his family members, but also many people who came to pay New Year's greetings this time were looking forward to it.

Of course, these men and women involved in the business and political circles are not looking forward to Dongchuan Che having many wives and concubines and a large family, but are looking forward to the release of "World of Warcraft" and "Pokemon".

Although Dongchuan Che doesn't socialize much, he just doesn't do useless socializing.

In fact, whether it is the Japanese Cultural Affairs Agency in charge of the game industry, or SATE's Kuriyama, or other business partners such as presidents, Fuyukawa Che has maintained good relationships. And adults in the workplace can maintain friendships mainly because of interests involved.

Today, Holy Light Society has already carried out in-depth cooperation with SATE. Many of SATE's old exclusive games have either been launched or are about to be launched on the GOGO platform, and Dongchuan Che has also given SATE a very affordable commission contract.

In addition to SATE, Shengguangshe is now also a comprehensive entertainment Internet company, and except for handheld game consoles, it basically does not do offline entities. Therefore, when sectors such as music, animation, and light novels want to release peripherals or physical CDs, they also need to cooperate with other downstream manufacturers.

Moreover, as Yuezhu Feiniao has been polishing the script of "World of Warcraft: Rise of Stormwind" for more than half a year and preparing to shoot a live-action TV series of "World of Warcraft", the Holy Light Society has now begun to enter the film and television industry.

In these fields, Dongchuan Che only deals with IP, and does not steal the jobs of factories and downstream sellers. As more and more people rely on Dongchuan Che for their livelihood, small circles are naturally formed, and people in these small circles are naturally very concerned about whether "World of Warcraft" can take the Holy Light Society to a higher level.

For example, Yoshiko Koishi, whose husband is a branch manager at Sumitomo Bank, is also very concerned about this aspect.

Now that the Holy Light Society is getting bigger and bigger, the small circle of rich ladies in the [Tokyo University Mutual Aid Association] set up by Miyano Mitsuko and others is also getting bigger and bigger.

Almost all the female executives or wives of leaders in all entertainment-related and game-related companies in Tokyo that are of a decent standard have heard of this circle and want to join it.

There is no reason. Entering the circle means having the opportunity to make connections.

For the upper class, or for people who have resources, whether they are information resources or financial resources, connections are still very important because these resources can be exchanged through connections.

For example, Yoshiko Koishi, whose husband is now a branch manager at Sumitomo Bank, kept chatting with Miyano Mitsuko and the others when she brought her children to visit for the New Year this year.

The main reason is that Dongchuan Che plans to continue expanding the company next year.

Today, Holy Light Company has nearly 6,000 employees in the game development sector alone, not counting the factory workers in the handheld console sector and the platform operators.

This number seems to be a lot, but it is actually not that much, because "FGO", "World of Warcraft" and "Pokemon" are all games that require long-term operation.

Let me put it this way. In its previous life, miHoYo had 3 employees, and at that time, miHoYo only had two large-scale works, Honkai Impact 42 and Genshin Impact, which required long-term operations. It is precisely because of so many employees that Genshin Impact can release a new version every days, otherwise the industrial production capacity would not be able to keep up.

Currently, Holy Light Society only has one long-term work, FGO, but the number of permanent employees on this project, that is, the employees responsible for developing subsequent expansion packs and game operations, exceeds 3,000, and this is despite the extremely high-intensity overtime environment of Holy Light Society.

According to the estimates of Fuyukawa Tetsu and Ohara Chika, after World of Warcraft and Pokémon are launched, if he wants to make these two works reach the same version update speed as FGO and Genshin Impact, and also develop other games, such as League of Legends version of World of Warcraft and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, he may have to expand the scale of the company to about 13,000 this spring!

Thirteen thousand people!

Super factory!

The two office buildings of the company are not enough now, and Dongchuan Che is also planning to buy another building, and it must be a luxurious office building with 20 or 30 floors!
This was the topic they talked about when he and Kaori Akiyama checked into a hotel last year. He wanted to buy a house, and at this time, Yoshiko Koishi, whose husband was a branch manager at Sumitomo Bank, also smelled an opportunity.

The full name of Sumitomo Bank is Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

This bank is the second largest bank in Japan, but it is not a state-owned enterprise, but a private enterprise. At the same time, the bank itself does not engage in any production links. Its main business is to absorb deposits from residents and then lend them to other people to earn interest differentials. In this case, promotion in the bank is naturally linked to the issue of [how much loans can be issued].

To be honest, in the past few years, Toru Fuyukawa has also taken out a lot of loans from Yoshiko Koishi's husband.

For example, when he bought this building, he took out a loan; when he bought the luxurious courtyard house of Tsukitake Asuka, he also asked Koishi Yoshiko's husband to apply for a loan; for example, when the handheld game console division built a factory in Ota Ward, Fuyukawa Che also asked Akiyama Kaori and Koishi Yoshiko to talk and get some loans.

Although the interest rates of these loans are very low, almost less than 1%, and the term is not long, just a few years. However, Japan's economy is currently in a slump, and one of the reasons for the economic slump is the reduction in investment. With the reduction in investment, the bank's loan business will naturally be seriously affected.

In order to stimulate the economy and get more people to invest and consume, Japan's loan interest rates are already very low, generally between 1% and 3%. And although Sumitomo Mitsui Bank is a private enterprise, the Mitsui Zaibatsu is one of the six largest zaibatsu in Japan and has close ties with the political arena. On the one hand, this makes them very superior, but on the other hand, they also need to play a certain social role - stimulating the economy.

Therefore, those huge loans from super high-quality large enterprises like Toru Fuyukawa also helped Koishi Yoshiko's husband increase his performance a lot, and now he has worked his way up to the position of branch manager.

After learning that the Holy Light Society might expand again, Yoshiko Koishi and her husband came to visit with their baby early in the morning of New Year.

To be honest, because Miyano Mitsuko and her friends have a higher and higher social status, Koishi Ryoko can only be considered as a middle-class person in their circle. In fact, if the banks want to talk to Toru Fuyukawa about cooperation, they need at least someone of the president's level to come forward.

Positions at Japanese banks are somewhat similar to those at gaming companies, but also somewhat different.

From top to bottom they are the chairman, president, president, vice president, executive director, and below them are the branch president and sub-branch president.

Although the functions of a branch manager are similar to those of a branch manager, a branch manager is usually a bank manager in a small city. The city and bank where the branch is located are larger than the branch, so the branch manager naturally has more power. But generally speaking, even if a branch manager comes to Shengguang Club to discuss cooperation, he can only meet Chika Ohara at most, and he has to call in advance to make an appointment.

However, Yoshiko Koishi, Miyano Miwa and Sato Fujiko are good friends who have been together since college. Moreover, when Miyano Miwa and Sato Fujiko just graduated, they received a lot of help from Yoshiko Koishi, a wealthy woman with a good family background.

Generally speaking, Dongchuan Che is profit-driven when dealing with business affairs, trying to maximize his own interests, but as the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. He has always been generous with his kindness and gratitude to those who have helped him or his family.

I am so moved.

When they heard Dongchuan Che say at the dinner table, "If you can help me find a suitable office building, then I can give you this loan business," and "I can also give you some future loan business from the handheld game console," Koishi Yoshiko and her husband were moved beyond words!
Honestly, if we only talk about social status now, the couple is indeed a bit behind the times. In addition, the company had a lot of business last year, and Miyano Mitsuwa and her friends were all working hard, so they had less social activities. Therefore, when they came to pay New Year's greetings today, the couple was very nervous.

Apart from the difference in social status, unless Miyano Mitsukoshi and the others had unintentionally "ignored" her this year, the bankers who now wanted to get this loan worth nearly 2 billion US dollars from Toru Fuyukawa were like carp crossing the river!

Not to mention SATE's Executive Director Kuriyama and other acquaintances, even some leading officials from the Ministry of Culture would specially invite Toru Fuyukawa to dinner, and then bring some bank leaders along to the dinner, trying to build connections!
A loan of 2 billion US dollars!

This scale of business is a huge achievement for bankers. As long as Dongchuan Che agrees to it, he will undoubtedly gain many big favors. But in this case, Dongchuan Che still gave this huge achievement to the couple!
I am so touched!
Oishi Yoshiko's husband was both moved and excited. Dongchuan Che was still eating and drinking, and teasing their baby with the lobster in his hand, but he suddenly knelt down with a "bang", knelt down and thanked him, which made Dongchuan Che not know whether to laugh or cry.

And when she saw that Toru Dongchuan didn't put on any airs and just helped her husband up like a friend, the look that Oishi Yoshiko looked at Toru Dongchuan became different from before.

It's not admiration.

To be honest, she had always known that Toru Dongchuan was a very powerful man, and she also knew what kind of people in the upper class were like. So when she found out that her two good friends, Miyano Mitsuba and Sato Fujiko, were actually following Toru Dongchuan, and there were other women, she was surprised, but also had many puzzles. After all, Miyano Mitsuba and the others were accompanying Toru Dongchuan with so many women.

As a good friend of Miyano Miyano and Sato Fujiko for many years, she still feels puzzled most of the time, and even feels that it is not worth it.

Because although Fuyukawa Tetsu was very rich, Miyano Miwa and Sato Fujiko were executives of large companies with annual salaries of tens of millions of yen and bonuses, and they had already been financially independent. She couldn't understand why Miyano Miwa and the others wanted to be with Fuyukawa Tetsu. But now
"He's rich, handsome, and sentimental. Hmm, with so many women, can he be considered sentimental? He's such a complicated man."

"But he is indeed a man with great charisma."
