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

There is no doubt that this year is a big year for gaming, but this June is also a small month for gaming.

The flagship works of top manufacturers such as SATE, Juyin and NICO were released together with the new generation of handheld consoles two months ago.

Of course, the masterpieces released this year are not only handheld games, there are also masterpieces on the PC. But generally speaking, unless the Hawaii Game Alliance wants to compete with NICO for the market, in order to avoid mutual influence, top masterpieces will not be released together. , and this is when low-cost works find every opportunity to exploit.

There are not many games worth paying attention to in June this year, and Tetsu Fuyukawa’s Stardew Valley is one of them. But to be honest, the industry, especially big companies like NICO, SATE and Juyin, don’t pay much attention to this game. .

The market for farming games is very broad, but Stardew Valley is too small after all. Even after Fuyukawa Che piled up the materials, the size did not exceed one G. In fact, even if the sales of Stardew Valley catch up with Dave the Diver, it will only be 5 million sales.

This sales volume is at most the icing on the cake for the WS handheld console that has entered a stable operation stage. After all, there are too many alternatives to farming games. Unlike Fate, which has strong dominance on a single track, Galgame players can only buy WS handheld consoles. And this is one of the biggest reasons why Juyin and SATE chose to attack Fuyukawa Che at this time, but...

With the release of Stardew Valley, everyone’s jaws dropped!

Sales exceeded 90 million units in half an hour. Although % of them were pre-sales, the real-time sales in half an hour were close to units, which still shocked everyone!

Five hundred thousand sets!

SATE's old farming game Aquarium Star, the highest-selling generation only has sales of more than 3 million. The total sales of the five generations of the series are only more than 7 million. Stardew Valley was released for half an hour, including pre-sales. Sales have reached half of the entire "Aquarium Star" series!

The sales volume is extremely terrifying, and in addition to the sales volume, the game's reputation is also extremely good!

Fuyukawa Che has put a lot of effort into the marketing of Stardew Valley, not to mention the most basic advertising and video website purchases, as well as various cross-border linkages and various profit-sharing draws. But generally speaking, such high-profile announcements are double-edged swords.

It is true that too high popularity will attract the attention of a large number of players, but at the same time, because of too high popularity, players' expectations for the game will also be infinitely raised. At this time, any small problems will be magnified by players, who feel that "Germany is not suitable". However, since the release of Stardew Valley, the praise rate is close to 99%.

Sales and reputation have exploded, and the sales growth rate is still rising. There is no doubt that the game quality of Stardew Valley has caught up with this huge wave of traffic!

[Stardew Valley sales may eventually break the 25 million mark].

When Juyin's statistics department announced this news in the industry, practitioners in the entire gaming industry were shocked, especially the management of SATE.

A five million-selling work with a unit price of 14 US dollars can catch their attention, but it is not enough for them to take a high look at Fuyukawa Cheru, but if the sales volume exceeds million, that is a completely different concept!

This sales volume has already entered the top 30 sales in history. This is a landmark work. There is no doubt that after the release of Stardew Valley, Cheru Fuyukawa's status in the Hawaii Game League will be wildly elevated, and this will directly affect the overall pattern of the Hawaii Game League!

This is the reality in the business world. Half an hour ago, when Fuyukawa Che came to SATE, no one came downstairs to greet him. But when the clock on the wall reached 6:45, Fuyukawa Che drank the entire cup of oolong tea. At the end, the end of the corridor where people were coming and going suddenly became noisy.

"Good evening, Mr. Maeda!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Maeda!"

The rapid footsteps of leather shoes on the floor tiles sounded, and the crowd in the corridor bowed and saluted. Soon, under Dongchuan Che's gaze, an old and thin old woman walked up to him in small steps.

"Private Marseille. My dear, Maeda Xiaoran, Mr. Fuyukawa, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. This is our dereliction of duty at SATE. Please rest assured that I will definitely teach that guy Hirano a lesson later. He even made an appointment with Mr. Fuyukawa and ran away. Go out and drink.”

A very sincere seventy-degree bow, the old voice echoed throughout the corridor. After hearing her words, all the employees in the corridor couldn't help but widen their eyes with disbelief.

Although this General Manager Maeda is just a General Manager, what is the concept of a General Manager of a top-tier manufacturer like SATE. To put it bluntly, if the president of a small or medium-sized game company comes to SATE, the most he can do is meet with the deputy director. If he wants to meet with the director, he has to make an appointment long in advance.

Shocked, the employees all looked at Fuyukawa Che in shock, but Fuyukawa Che just looked at the old woman in front of him calmly, with some amusement in his eyes.

Point out Hirano's name directly.

The old fox of a big company really has a different sense of smell.

Dongchuan Che kept thinking in his mind. SATE did not do a good job in today's matter, but in this case, the subordinate who made the mistake usually comes out to admit his mistake and apologize, and then the boss smooths things over. The worst thing is that the two of them appeared together. How could it be that the boss came out to apologize alone, and when he apologized, he specifically pointed out that Minister Hirano was drinking outside right now.

This is not the way to speak for your subordinates.

So, is this guy from Sato's group?

At least it should be different from that of Pingye.

As soon as he thought about this, Dongchuan Che knew what was going on.

Faced with this old woman who has no grievances against him and can still take advantage of him. Although he sat here for more than half an hour, he did not lose his temper. Instead, he stood up and bowed slightly in return, "Commissioner Maeda, you are too polite. Minister Hirano is busy with official work and it is reasonable that he has no time to deal with the Hawaii Game Alliance. I can totally understand it.”

"It's great that Mr. Fuyukawa understands. Please, I will entertain Mr. Fuyukawa from now on. Nohara, please go get the Dahongpao I bought from China."

Manager Maeda warmly greeted Che Fuyukawa to the conference room. However, her old eyes were full of admiration and wariness, and she murmured in her heart: No wonder the chairman and Juyin wanted to beat him up so early. This man, indeed He is a very terrifying opponent.

From her decades of experience in the ups and downs of the business world, men in this world can be roughly divided into four types.

One is a coward who doesn't even have a temper and accomplishes nothing.

The second type is a reckless man who has a temper but lacks the ability to judge the situation and solve the problem. He only loses his temper.

The third type is mediocre people who can judge the situation but cannot control their emotions.

In her opinion, although these three types of men are better than each other, they are only generals at best.

Only men who have the vision and ability to see through the essence of the problem, and at the same time control their emotions, and think step by step through calm thinking to achieve their goals, are the heroes who truly have a chance to stand on the top of the mountain.

It was obvious that Fuyukawa Che could judge her position just from a face-to-face meeting and two or three sentences of information. She also judged what kind of man Fuyukawa Che was.

This man is dangerous.

Maeda Xiaoran made this judgment, but if the position she is sitting in now is the position of SATE chairman, then she will be more wary at this time, but now she represents the interests of her own faction.
