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

Chika Ohara and her colleagues are very efficient at work.

It was just confirmed yesterday afternoon that Hearthstone will be released in a month, and this afternoon, Miyano Miyano and Sato Fujiko led the marketing operations department to start the promotion.

GO! was released two months later, and Hearthstone was released a month later.

No synchronization is taking place.

The reason is simple. Although Hearthstone is indeed a very profitable game, Che Fuyukawa deliberately released it before the handheld console is released, mainly because Hearthstone is a game that can be perfectly experienced on both PC and mobile devices.

Fuyukawa Che hopes that Hearthstone can become popular on PC first, so that when players buy the GO! handheld, they will have one more reason.

Of course, Hearthstone alone is not enough to tempt people.

All the games on the GOGO platform that have been adapted for handhelds can be played directly on the handheld after players buy the GO! handheld. Secondly, the GO! handheld also has much stronger performance than mobile phones, and players can also experience "FGO" with higher picture quality on the GO! handheld.

In addition, there is GO! The Pokémon series is exclusive to the handheld! And it is an open world Pokémon game made to the same standards as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild!

These advantages add up

To be honest, if World of Warcraft was released before, Che Fuyukawa would still be worried about whether World of Warcraft would have problems due to the times.

As for the GO! handheld game console developed by his own company, he is not worried at all, after all, the lineup of escort works is too exaggerated.

However, having said that, the women in the family are still relatively cautious. They all know that if the handheld game console can be successful, Dongchuan Che's career will reach a new level!

In addition to Miyano Miono, Sato Fujiko, and Ohara Chika, Sayoko has also been working overtime frequently during this period, leading the art department staff to polish the works.

The same goes for Kaori Akiyama.

GO! The handheld business is almost entirely handed over to her, and the interesting thing is that she is actually a super workaholic.

Therefore, although the handheld game console issue has been almost dealt with, she still lives in a high-end apartment in Ota Ward, which makes it convenient for her to go to the factory for inspection. She only returns to Akihabara on weekends or when the work pressure is too great and she is too exhausted.

Whenever she gets home, she becomes a cute and spoiled girl, lying on Toru Fuyukawa and refusing to get off, and won't let go until they have a bubble bath and sex together. Therefore, Toru Fuyukawa is also teased by Sayoko and the others as "Kaori's oversized power bank."

Of course, Ota Ward is not far from Akihabara, and as World of Warcraft gets on track, Toru Fuyukawa has more free time. So even though Kaori Akiyama doesn't have much time to come back, he always takes the initiative to go there.

A small farewell is better than a new love.

A beautiful young woman and a strong mature man.

Needless to say, every time I go to the apartment building where Akiyama Kaori lives, as soon as I enter the house and close the door, Akiyama Kaori will kneel down at the entrance, and then she will start to yell at me. And the interesting thing is that Akiyama Kaori also enjoys this way of getting along, where they are busy at work and can comfort each other when they are free.

Workaholic, indeed.

Sayoko and Akiyama Kaori are both very busy, and so is Izumi Himawari.

This girl is also a senior this year, a 22-year-old lady. People's thinking and pursuits will change at different ages.

Although she was still the same as before, very homesick and very clingy to him, Dong Chuan Che, and would run to the master bedroom with a pillow every night to sleep together, if Dong Chuan Che had not been well prepared and got a 4m x 4m quilt, he would probably not sleep well every night because of three women fighting for his quilt.

Still a very clingy person.

However, Izumi Himawari is a grown-up girl after all, and she has started to pursue her own goals. Her goal is also very simple, to experience more music from different countries.

Therefore, during this period of time, she also began to prepare for her own global tour. Every day, she was either at school or in the company discussing relevant matters with Ms. Maori. Her life was quite fulfilling.

As for the Moon Bamboo Bird

She has been interviewing for casting for the live-action World of Warcraft drama every day recently. In the No. 2 office building of the Holy Light Society, big-name stars from all over the world can be seen coming in and out every day.

Life is very fulfilling. Yuezhu Feiniao's life is very fulfilling recently. She really enjoys the feeling of freedom of creation as a director. However.

In addition to being fulfilled, she has also been feeling a little uncomfortable recently.

There is no other reason, mainly because the group version of "World of Warcraft" was just launched not long ago.

She is also a bit of a gamer. Before she became a director, she would stay at home and play games whenever she had free time. She also formed a small guild in World of Warcraft with Futaba Koyama and Toru Fuyukawa. She was so impressive in the game every day.

She was having a great time playing games, but she had to go to work, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, she likes playing games, but she also likes being a director, so she doesn't have too many complaints. She even takes the initiative to talk about some topics related to star casting at the table when we have dinner together every night.

Just kidding, Dongchuan's family is full of women, so when it comes to talking about various celebrities, there are naturally a lot of topics. As a result, Dongchuan Che always felt like he was [kicked out of the group chat] during those days when he was eating.

But it is obvious that the women in the family are very considerate. Therefore, every time Dongchuan Che shows a little expression on his face that says "You guys chat, I'll just eat quietly", Sayoko and the others will also show a funny expression that says "still acting like a spoiled child at an old age" and then come over to tease him.

Life is all about entertaining each other.

In this atmosphere, the Fuyukawa family was quite happy. As for the little loli F, Futaba Koyama, she had been addicted to World of Warcraft recently and had completely turned into a "gaming otaku".

Every day after finishing work, she would play "World of Warcraft". Even for dinner, Dongchuan Che had to go upstairs and carry her on his shoulders before bringing her to the dining table.

There is no way, the "World of Warcraft" improved by Fuyukawa Tetsu is indeed super fun. Moreover, it is not only Koyama Futaba who likes to play World of Warcraft, Fuyukawa Tetsu also likes to play it, so during this period of time, the topics and exchanges between the two are also increasing, but the topics are mainly around games.

There's nothing you can do. One is a game geek, and the other is a straight guy who chases girls with his charm and never uses his mouth. It's not easy for the two of them to talk to each other.

In this fulfilling and happy time, the days passed one by one. However, just when Dongchuan Che thought that nothing else would happen before the release of Hearthstone, people from Shanhe Group came to his door.

Or to be more precise, the group of people who were sent by Shanhe Group to study at Shengguang Society have graduated.

Today, most of the Holy Light Society’s business in China is handled by the Shanhe Group.

It must be said that the Shanhe Group formed by Jingye is indeed very well connected in China. Although the GOGO platform does not have a live broadcast section in China due to conflicts with the live broadcast business, and Shengguangshe’s games in China, such as the mobile game "FGO", also have to give Shanhe Group a considerable dividend, but this money is indeed worth it.

On the one hand, there are game version numbers and game review.

This stuff mainly depends on the company's connections and [the influence of that road]. If Dongchuan Che were to do it, it would probably take several years before the version number was issued. As for the game review, it would be troublesome every day.

On the other hand, there is the promotion of Holy Light Society’s games in China.

Although part of the game's profits in China went to Shanhe Group, they did want to enter the gaming sector, so since the start of their cooperation the year before last, Shanhe Group has been making every effort to promote FATE, Stardew Valley, or the later Elden Ring and FGO.

To put it simply, with the agency of Shanhe Group, Dongchuan Che basically doesn't need to worry about the business in China, and he can just let Ohara Chika go there to reconcile the accounts every quarter.

As for whether Shanhe Group is up to something fishy.

This kind of thing is impossible to avoid, but Shanhe Group seems to really want long-term cooperation, so the way they eat is not ugly, and it is still within the range that Dongchuan Che can accept. Therefore, the cooperation between Shengguang Society and Shanhe Group is also very close. And Shanhe Group does have the idea of ​​making stand-alone games well.

When the "World of Warcraft" project was first launched, Mr. Bao from Shanhe Group flew to Japan specifically to invite Dongchuan Che to dinner, saying that he hoped to allow some domestic gaming industry talents to enter the Holy Light Society to study.

To be honest, apart from Chinese game developers and Chinese players, few game developers in the world hope that China will produce powerful stand-alone games. After all, no one wants to have more competitors. However.

At that time, Dongchuan Che still agreed to Mr. Bao's proposal, and over the past year or so, he gradually recruited fifty or sixty Chinese game producers into the "World of Warcraft" development team.

This is partly because he has enough confidence in himself.

Just kidding, if his head is filled with classic works from his previous life and he still can't beat other manufacturers, he might as well just find a place to bury himself.

First, he was not afraid that the rise of Chinese game manufacturers would threaten his position. Second, he also wanted to play some 3A-level fairy-tale games and martial arts games.

Although he could do it himself, the production cycle of the game was too long.

Making one 3A film a year is already his limit. Even if he adds more people, he cannot shorten the production cycle further.

As for the last reason.

Although Dong Chuanche always felt that everything he had was earned through his own hard work, and that he owed nothing to heaven or earth, and at most owed his parents whom he had never met, he felt that he had no obligation to support the Chinese gaming industry. However.

When it comes to business, when there is a conflict of interest, Dongchuan Che will not hesitate at all. Even if it is an old acquaintance like Kuriyama or Bao Zong, he will act decisively when the time comes, and always put the interests of himself and his family first.

However, in the absence of a conflict of interest, he still feels that there is no need to look at all issues entirely from a cold, cold perspective of interests.

If you can help, please do so. It's just a small favor.

However, for Dongchuan Che, this kind of thing is just a piece of cake, but for those game producers who come to the Holy Light Society to study, it is a very, very valuable opportunity.

Technology is actually very valuable. Although many large European and American companies have built factories in China, they will not teach some core technologies to Chinese workers. Even for some key positions, European and American companies will not hire Chinese people.

Although this is not their fault, it is just like in ancient China, few people would pass on their family secret recipes to others. Even if they wanted to accept a disciple, the disciple would bring various gifts and even have to stand in the snow to learn from the master.

People are like this, they are afraid that teaching the apprentice will starve the master to death. In this environment, Dongchuan Che's behavior is even more precious.

"Thank you very much, President Dongchuan, for giving us this opportunity to study! We will never forget your kindness!"

Afternoon, President's office.

Looking at the Chinese men sitting in front of him with their heads bowed in gratitude, Dong Chuan Che took a sip of oolong tea and said with a smile: "It seems that your one year in Japan was not in vain. You are starting to speak like Japanese."

"No, no, President Dongchuan, you are joking again."

The leading man in a red plaid shirt scratched his head with a smile, and beside him, the others also smiled in relief after hearing that Dongchuan Che was still joking.

They have been in Japan for more than a year and have been in the development team of "World of Warcraft", so they are not strangers to Dongchuan Che. However, Dongchuan Che is very majestic when he is at work, and is completely different from the easy-going person he is in life, so they are still frightened when they see Dongchuan Che. But now, seeing Dongchuan Che teasing them, their emotions gradually relaxed.

After a round of greetings, the man in the red shirt explained his purpose.

"Thank you very much for your care during this period, President Dongchuan. We came here to say goodbye to you, and we also wanted to talk to you in person about the cooperation in making games that our chairman told you about last time."

The man in the red shirt talked a lot, and the more he talked, the more nervous he became.

Yes, nervous!

Not only was he a little nervous, but his companions who followed him were also a little nervous, but at the same time, they were also a little excited!

Today they not only came to say goodbye, but a few days ago, Mr. Bao from Shanhe Group also called Dongchuan Che. As for the content, it was also very simple, that is, they hoped that both parties could work together to produce a 3A stand-alone game. And Shanhe Group would be the main one!

To put it bluntly, Shanhe Group wants to use the chicken to lay eggs.

Normally, Dong Chuan Che would not agree to such a thing, after all, it would not benefit him in any way. However, business cooperation is an exchange of interests.

The deal terms that Mr. Bao gave this time were that in the next ten years, all games under the Sunward Group would be exclusively available on the GOGO platform and the GO! handheld console.

Of course, the former is a rigid contract with no flexibility. But for the GO! handheld game console, since the machine has not yet been released, we don’t know the market reaction, so according to the market share of the GO! handheld game console, the agreement in this regard will be somewhat flexible.

This condition is quite tempting.

Shanhe Group's stand-alone games are indeed not very good, and it can even be said that they have no foundation. However, Shanhe Group is a well-known conglomerate in China and one of the largest capitals in China's domestic game industry. They also represent many popular online games and their mobile games are also pretty good.

If the games they represent can be exclusively available on the GOGO platform in China, that would be a great thing. Moreover, Shanhe Group is also preparing to make efforts in the field of stand-alone games. And it is not the kind of effort that is just a trick. After talking to Mr. Bao on the phone a few days ago, Dongchuan Che confirmed that he really wanted to make a high-quality domestic 3A game!

High quality domestic 3A.

Anyone who understands will understand the impact of this gimmick.

If this can be done, the GOGO platform will gain a large number of users in the country!

Thinking of this, Dong Chuan Che took out a cigarette, lit one for himself, and threw one to the man in the red shirt who looked very terrified, and then said, "I talked to your CEO Bao a few days ago, and we have almost reached an agreement on all aspects of the contract. However..."

At this point, Dong Chuan Che looked up at the man in the red shirt and raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, "Are you sure you want to do a large-scale theme like the prehistoric world?"
