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

Chapter 435 A little flirtation

After a week of crazy publicity, Hearthstone has now become the most discussed game in society, or at least in the gaming community.

With the huge amount of funds and connections of the Holy Light Society, there is no need for Miyano Mitsuko and others to command people to set the pace. Discussion posts or videos of "Hearthstone" are constantly increasing on various online forums and video websites.

Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, just like a snowball rolling down from the top of a mountain, getting bigger and bigger as time goes by.

In fact, the Ghani Group, which is now in charge of the GOGO platform's North American business, was having such an in-depth cooperation with the Holy Light Society for the first time. Under the stunned gaze of their American employees, the North American service area of ​​the GOGO platform was directly packed the day before the release of Hearthstone.

The traffic is too high.

Fortunately, although Gani Group was in charge of game platform business for the first time, Gani was financially strong after all. Facing the players' protests, their relevant management cadres installed new servers overnight and also called Miyano Mitsuko and others to apologize.

There is no other reason. The North American business of GOGO platform was previously operated by Shengguang Society. However, OTTO platform is a local game platform in the United States. Therefore, although GOGO platform can also conduct business in North America at that time, it is still very difficult to compete with OTTO platform with its own trade protection.

In fact, this is the same for all countries in the world. No country will watch companies from other countries come to its own country and kill its own local companies.

For this reason, Dongchuan Che chose to set up the [GOGO Platform Production Committee], with the business in China being handled by Shanhe Group and the business in North America being handled by Gani Group.

Both companies are responsible for the platform's local promotion and various costs. In exchange, they will receive commission reductions when their own games are launched on the GOGO platform, and they can also share a share of the platform's channel commission income.

As for the control of the platform, it is of course still in the hands of Dongchuan Che.

To put it simply, the current Shanhe Group and Gani Group have been developed by Dongchuan Che into [distributors] in China and North America. The goods are handed over to them, and they are allowed to take a share of the price difference, but they do not have much control.

Of course, things are definitely not that simple.

Both Shanhe Group and Ghani Group are large conglomerates with assets exceeding 100 billion US dollars. They will not be persuaded to act as their thugs by just a small profit from the [price difference].

This is just part of the cooperation agreement which is more than 300 pages long.

The entire cooperation agreement includes the terms for the future distribution of benefits in the e-sports industry; including the sales volume of [GO! Handheld], the revenue of "League of Legends", "Honor of Kings" and "Pokemon"; and even the revenue flow of "World of Warcraft: Stormwind Rise", otherwise the Holy Light Society will have to pay a certain amount of money.

The amounts involved in these gambling agreements are very large.

If Dongchuan Che fails to fulfill all of these agreements, then although the compensation will not make Dongchuan Che go from a wealthy man worth more than 20 billion US dollars to poor overnight, it will be enough to cause him serious damage.

To put it simply, both Shanhe Group and Gani Group are now willing to have Dongchuan Che as their younger brother, but the prerequisite is that the remuneration for being Dongchuan Che's younger brother must be generous enough and the prospects must be bright enough.

However, Dongchuan Che did not let down the team. Instead, it was the Gani Group, which demanded various conditions, that let down the team first.

After all, it was their first time to operate a gaming platform of this scale, and they were not fully prepared. In addition, Hearthstone was extremely popular recently, which directly overwhelmed the North American service area of ​​the GOGO platform. The interesting thing is that.
Although those contract agreements contain a clause that "If Dongchuan Che fails to achieve XX performance, he must pay compensation", they also contain a clause that "If Shanhe Group/Gani Group encounters problems in the cooperative business, they need to pay compensation."

In an equal relationship, any restrictive terms are mutual, and rights and obligations should be equal.

Therefore, even though Fuyukawa Che was a little embarrassed, Hearthstone had not been released yet, but he had already received the first [income] from Hearthstone. And it should be said that Sato Fujiko and Miyano Mitsuko are indeed strong women in the marketing department with a very keen sense of smell.

The news was released by them on the night that Dongchuan Che received the fine.

[GOGO platform's North American servers are overwhelmed! The Ghani Group has paid a fine to the Holy Light Society because of the excessive popularity of Hearthstone! ]

[Hearthstone is so terrifying! The multi-billion dollar conglomerate admitted its mistake! ]

[Hearthstone is popular in North America! Ghani Group officially announced the increase of server capacity! ]

Nowadays, the publicity and promotion ability of the Holy Light Society is indeed so strong that almost overnight, all kinds of similar short videos and posts, including some news, immediately swept the world! And it should be said that now all the self-media and various anchor UPs in the world, including game news media, are actually keeping an eye on the Holy Light Society.

There is no other reason, it is just because the news of Holy Light Society can indeed attract a large number of viewers. This also leads to the fact that, unless it offends too many interest groups in the case of the release of a handheld game console, Holy Light Society does not need to do its own publicity in many cases.

Just give a simple example.

If a small internet celebrity with only a few hundred fans wants to promote herself, she often has to buy hot searches and traffic, and spend money to hire someone to help with the promotion.

But if it is Yang Mi, Hu Ge, or other top stars who can attract countless audiences, they don't need to spend money on publicity. Those self-media and news media that rely on traffic will rush to report their news. Because only when they report their news will people read it, and only when people read their articles or videos can they earn traffic, that is, money.

By the same token, now that Dongchuan Che has formed an alliance of interests with many companies, he does not eat alone, but cooperates with local companies in other countries such as Shanhe Group and Gani Group.

Don't underestimate this step.

Although on the surface this is just a cooperation with Shanhe Group and Ghani Group, in fact, this super consortium with a net worth of more than 200 billion US dollars has complex interests behind it, involving both officials and businessmen.

after all
The small MI Group, which was so prosperous in the past life, has a market value of only a few hundred billion US dollars, but this kind of group actually has close cooperation with the local government.

Even Dong Chuan Che is like this now. Although he doesn't like socializing or contacting government officials,
Sacred Light Company is not listed on the stock market yet, but even though its handheld game console has not been released yet, and games such as Hearthstone, Pokémon, and Minecraft have not been released yet, the current market conservative valuation of Sacred Light Company is around 20 billion US dollars.

Despite his huge size, he still has financial dealings with many local government officials in Tokyo.

It's just that he doesn't want to get too deeply involved in the political field, so these [financial transactions] can't be considered as a courtesy. They are just some [money for cigarettes and alcohol] given to those people so that they can pay more attention when dealing with various related businesses, such as approval procedures, and give some advance notice when certain policies are adjusted.

This is true for people like Dongchuan Che who are very cautious about politics, and the situation is even more exaggerated for Shanhe Group and Ghani Group. Not to mention Shanhe Group, which has grown so big in Yanjing, it is a "good family", and North American companies like Ghani Group are similar, political donations and even manipulation of congressmen are also inevitable.

The transfer of interests forms interest bonds, and interest bonds form interest groups. Dongchuan Che outsourced the North American and Chinese businesses, which seemed to weaken his own interests, but it also brought him the conditions for larger-scale expansion!

One of the obvious manifestations of this situation is the dominance in the field of public opinion.

As Dongchuan Che formed an alliance of interests with many companies, no company in the market dared to openly hire trolls to spread rumors. With this background, coupled with the fact that the quality of the games of the Holy Light Society was already very strong, and the blunder caused by the Ghani Group this time.

Needless to say, as Miyano Mitsuha and the others released the news that [GOGO platform's North American servers are overwhelmed! The Ghani Group has paid a fine to the Holy Light Society due to the excessive popularity of Hearthstone! ], the entire network exploded almost overnight.

Many netizens may not like to argue with others, but they are still interested in watching the gossip. Especially when a super giant company like the Ghani Group does something weird, they are very happy to watch it. As the core of this matter, the discussion of Hearthstone is naturally getting hotter and hotter.

Amidst this heated discussion among the entire nation, time quickly arrived on July 7th.

Amid the eager anticipation of countless players, Hearthstone was launched simultaneously around the world at 11 a.m. on July 7!
Hearthstone is a very important game for the Holy Light Company. Once the game was launched, the entire company was in full swing. Miyano Mitsuwa was also crowded in the office with Sato Fujiko and Sayoko to monitor the data. However, during such a busy day, Fuyukawa Tetsu did not stay in the company, but returned home.
.
"You are so irresponsible as a president. You actually go home and slack off at a time like this. It's really cold! Be gentle!"

Fuyukawa's house, on the second floor, is Futaba Koyama's exclusive e-sports room.

There was a display cabinet filled with figures against the wall, and behind it was a soft little bed with the bedding in a mess, and some socks and underwear thrown randomly beside the bed.

Judging from the environment, the owner of this room is a somewhat sloppy woman, but if you look at the cotton panties and bra sizes on the floor,
I believe that most men would forgive this woman's laziness and sloppiness, but obviously, Dongchuan Che is not one of them.

He slapped the ice towel on Futaba Koyama's forehead, ignoring the complaints of the busty little loli who fell asleep in the bath last night and caught a cold and had a fever. Dongchuan Che pinched her little face that was hot from the fever, rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You think I want to come back now, but you are such a worry. I am really impressed. You are such a grown-up, but you still can't take care of yourself."

"What? I fell asleep yesterday because I was working overtime every day to test Hearthstone. Humph, he is indeed a black-hearted president!"

Futaba Koyama also rolled her eyes at Toshikawa Che, not wanting to be outdone. But even though she said that, she still leaned back, lowered the gaming chair, and then lifted her little feet wrapped in white silk to Toshikawa Che's thighs wantonly.

Leisurely Little Loli.jpg
In the dim little room, a little girl with an ice towel on her head, her white silk feet still curled up on her thighs.
Futaba Koyama is indeed as vast as the sea that can accommodate all rivers. Even when she is lying on the gaming chair at 160 degrees, her white pajamas with a bear pattern and the bear's cute big head are still soft and propped up high.

Still conspicuous even when lying flat.

It was so exaggerated that even Dongchuan Che couldn't help but take a few more glances.

But today, Xiaoshan Futaba had a fever and had been coughing all morning. In this case, he was more concerned about her health. He didn't notice that he felt Dongchuan Che's eyes moving away from his chest. Maybe it was because of the confusion caused by the fever, or maybe he felt some of Dongchuan Che's thoughts. Xiaoshan Futaba, who had been secretly observing him, also had a warm smile on his face.

Then, under Dong Chuan Che's slightly raised eyebrow gaze, she stretched lazily on the gaming chair, and stretched her white silk feet that were already resting on Dong Chuan Che's thighs forward.

Xiao Dongchuan felt a wonderful push.

Their eyes met, and in an instant, the air in the room began to heat up. Just as Dongchuan Che grabbed Xiaoshan Futaba's white silk feet and Xiaoshan Futaba swallowed nervously, the sound of boiling water came from outside the door.

".It's time to change the kettle at home."

"Haha, alright, alright, you have to be so funny. Go get some water, I need to take my medicine."

Xiaoshan Futaba, who had a severe fever and felt dizzy, laughed out loud at Dongchuan Che's words and his slightly frustrated look. She sat up, still putting her feet on Dongchuan Che's waist, and pinched Dongchuan Che's cheeks affectionately with her hands.

This was a very intimate act, and Dongchuan Che's eyes were filled with desire. But when he felt the girl's hot breath after the fever hitting his neck, he suppressed the desire in his heart, got up, picked up the water cup on the table, went to the side to brew the potion, and said, "If it's really too uncomfortable, don't broadcast today, just sleep."

Today is the release date of Hearthstone, so the live streaming section of the GOGO platform will naturally be given a boost.

However, on the one hand, this is to attract popularity, and on the other hand it is mainly because of "Hearthstone". In fact, it is somewhat similar to "Elden Circle".

It’s not that the gameplay is similar, but that these two games are games that ordinary casual players can play more comfortably only after having a strategy or guidance.

Just give a simple example.

If there weren't so many guides for Elden Ring, how many ordinary players would know the main storyline? And how many of them would be able to go to various places on the map to get equipment and skills that increase the fun of the game at the beginning?
These strategies include some plot clues, some of which were made by hardcore players themselves, and some of which were actually released by the game officials themselves, but they just didn't admit it. The purpose of doing so is to allow more casual players to get started with the game faster and experience the fun of the game faster.

The same is true for Hearthstone.

Although Hearthstone is not a fragmented narrative like Elden Circle, casual players generally cannot form some powerful decks based on their own understanding. At most, they can fine-tune the existing decks according to the types of players they encounter in the current ladder. The inability to form a strong deck can easily lead to players experiencing strong frustration in the early stages of the game, or even not understanding the game and being unable to get started.

In this situation, the best way is to release a guide and let anchors promote the game. Because of her superb gaming skills and nice voice, Futaba Koyama is currently considered a high-level anchor in the GOGO platform gaming section, even though she doesn't have much live time and doesn't show her face.

In addition to teaching players how to play the game, live streaming has another benefit, which is that it can most intuitively feel the players' current suggestions and dissatisfaction with the game.

For this reason, Koyama Futaba was also preparing to start a live broadcast today, but she didn't expect that she fell asleep in the bathtub last night and caught a cold and had a fever when she woke up today.

It must be said that it would be best if Futaba Koyama could do a live broadcast. But now she looks so sick, so Toukawa Che still hopes that she can have a good rest and take good care of herself.

Feeling the concern from Tohru Dongchuan, Futaba Koyama's lovely big eyes curved into crescents. At this moment, she recalled the scene of being picked up from the bathtub by Tohru Dongchuan last night.

Maybe it was because the small room made people feel intimate, maybe it was because of the fever and dizziness, or maybe it was because of the daily life together in the past few years. Somehow, she took the warm cold medicine from Dong Chuan Che's hand, and then, in Dong Chuan Che's surprised eyes, she clamped her white silk legs around his waist and whispered with a blushing face.

"As long as you're here, everything will be fine."
