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

At 8:30 in the morning, the lobby on the first floor of Holy Light Society.

Today is Friday, and the student party still has to go to school. The doujin store in the lobby has few customers, but Amei and Keiko still arrived early.

Seeing many employees walking towards the elevator in a hurry, Keiko, who was wearing a small apron, was sorting out the game disks on the container, and then picked at the itchy scalp behind her ears, "The game is about to be released, and the atmosphere in the company is different. Ah. They are rarely in such a hurry at this time."

"Of course."

In front of the warehouse door, Amei moved a large box out. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Although these two games today have nothing to do with them, if there is a problem with the company's cash flow, they will definitely be affected. "

There was some concern in his tone.

The capital expenditure required for the announcement was very large. He had already obtained a loan from FATE, but not yet from Stardew Valley. For this reason, he had to take the risk again and find a bank loan.

Similarly, this also means that if the sales of FATE decrease, it will also affect the subsequent release of Stardew Valley.

Dongchuan Che smiled helplessly and shook his head. According to his original plan, FATE and Stardew Valley were just for normal promotion. After all, he was not short of funds in the short term, and it was completely OK to keep the water flowing smoothly, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The weakness of SATE forced him to take some risks. Otherwise, if he doesn’t take the risk to slow down Juyin’s growth now, his pressure will only be greater in the future.

Without getting too entangled with the lady, Fuyukawa Che was soon pushed into the elevator by Sayoko. And when the elevator door closed, seeing the side face of Fuyukawa Teru smiling and chatting with Sayoko, Shima Miyoko suddenly felt that the man in front of her was not only strong and domineering, but also a little more elegant and easy-going.

"Stardew Valley should be fine. The core of this game is similar to Diver Dave. They are both pixel-style farming simulations, and the president has experience. However, the same cannot be said for a Glagame like FATE."

It seems like a normal fluctuation in popularity, but the content contained in it can only be the game between Sato Fujiko and SATE executives.

but

Thinking of this, Fuyukawa Che's eyes became excited involuntarily, "The original game of Stardew Valley sold 40 million units in eight years, but the original game had almost no investment in publicity and distribution in the years before its release. Nowadays, the funds for publicity and distribution are extremely large. Go down and add my name to it."

"Ah! You guy, your mind is full of yellow waste!"

A listed company like SATE has complex internal interests. Not to mention that Fujiko Sato is just a minister, even if he is the president, his words are useless in many cases. Because you have the right to speak within a group, it is not because you are the president that others listen to you, but because what you do is in the interests of most people and leads to most people serving you, so your words are useful and only He is the president, which is the same as the emperor of the ancient feudal dynasty.

There are countless such examples. I don’t know how many game manufacturers have experienced problems with one of their games, and everyone started shouting and beating them overnight. It took a lot of effort to reverse the problem.

Game production requires a long cycle, during which time personnel wages, water and electricity expenses, etc. all cost money. It’s fine if the company has old IP that can continue to be monetized, but if it is a new company, once a few games in the initial stage have problems, the capital chain will bear huge pressure.

He was very worried, but soon, under the unsurprised gaze of Miyano Miwa, Fuyukawa Che took the coffee and took a sip, frowned and shook his head: "If we don't help SATE at this time, we will wait for Juyin to gain a firm foothold in the future. , our pressure will be greater. Don’t worry about this, just get it done, or sell the house and start all over again.”

Still the same truth, relying on large amounts of money for publicity and distribution to create a good reputation is indeed conducive to game sales, but this is under the premise that the quality of the game is excellent. If the quality of the game is not good, then the money you invest will eventually become bullets fired at you. The only way to avoid this problem is to artificially cool down.

The popularity of Age of Dragons dropped sharply two days ago. Apparently Fujiko Sato discovered that even though she had spent a lot of effort to postpone the release date of the handheld console for several months, the quality of Age of Dragons was still not satisfactory, so I want to reduce the popularity of this game to avoid some risks.

"This is normal. NICO and Shanmu's new handheld consoles are going to be released today. There are too many escort works, and players will definitely be severely diverted. Let me tell you, if I hadn't joined the Xiayou Alliance, I guess the president wouldn't want to be here. FATE is released during this time.”

Having said this, she looked at Fuyukawa Che and frowned: "If this wave is too big, NICO will definitely take action, and the reputation of the entire WP handheld will be implicated, and this is also the opportunity that Juyin is waiting for. They will definitely want to Use this opportunity to marginalize SATE, and at the same time [turn the tide] to gain a reputation. If we choose to intervene at this stage, although Juyin will most likely not target us, they will certainly not help us fight. NICO’s public opinion war, and SATE will probably be too busy to take care of itself.”

Returning to the president's office, letting Sayoko help him sit on the boss's chair, Fuyukawa Teru grinned hoarsely and moved his waist slightly, then lit a cigarette and looked at Miyano Miwa who walked to the kettle to make tea, "Big Dragon" The publicity fever of the era has increased again today. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this game. "

The strong contrast made Miyoko Shima stunned for a moment, and she quickly bowed and thanked her. At this moment, the elevator arrived.

However, what she didn't expect was that when the wheelchair came to her, Fuyukawa Che turned his head and looked at her, "Shimaimi, I heard that you are going to take leave recently?"

"Hello, President!"

The tone was a little nervous.

The most typical examples are Dragon's Dogma 2 and 2077 in the previous life.

Fuyukawa Teru nodded, and at the end, he stopped Miyano Miwa who was already walking towards the door, "That's right. Tell Qianhua and ask her to check the follow-up loan contract more. After FATE is released, I want to do it as soon as possible Get more loans.”

"With Minister Miyano's ability, it is impossible not to know about this kind of risk, but she has never taken measures to cool down. Or she has other bad thoughts, but this is impossible, she is already that man's forbidden love. Then The only possibility left is that she is very optimistic about FATE’s sales prospects!”

Whether it is NICO or Juyin, they all hope that the WP handheld will be in crisis at this time. If we increase the publicity of FATE at this time, it will undoubtedly destroy the good things between the two companies. When NICO wants to fight, Juyin will not help. The pressure on the Holy Light Society will be very great.

There is a word called demographic dividend, and there is a word called human resources.

While chatting with her colleagues, the older female employee Miyoko Shima looked worried.

With deep eyes, Sayoko carefully moved Da Taozi, adjusted to a comfortable position and squeezed his arm, "Che-kun, you still feel a lot of pressure."

Two days ago, the popularity of the Age of Dragon announcement suddenly dropped, but starting from yesterday afternoon, a large amount of funds entered the announcement pool again, boosting the popularity of the Age of Dragon.

"Ah?"

"OK."

"Good morning, Minister Miyano, good morning, Deputy Minister Kawachi!"

The sound of the door closing was heard. Seeing Miyano Miwa walking past the window, Fuyukawa Teru pulled Sayoko onto his lap, and then looked at the ceiling quietly.

"My thoughts are similar to yours. I feel that President Rang also asked FATE to be released first because he felt that Galgame's sales would not be very high, and he still had to submit a certificate of nomination to the Xiayou League."
