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

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.

As for Group 3, their main artistic ability is outstanding. The lead artist for works such as "Fate", "FGO" and "Elden Ring" is the deputy group leader of Group 3, Vice President Kawachi, so the atmosphere in the whole group is more relaxed than that in other groups."

"Hey, Vice President Hanoi is only a deputy team leader?! The team leader of Team 3 is someone very important?!"

"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.
