December 25th, Christmas Day, Japan, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Since the Meiji Restoration, all aspects of Japan have moved closer to Western countries, and many Western festivals are very popular in Japan.

For example, today's Christmas, you can see Christmas trees and people wearing Santa hats in many parts of Japan.

As one of the largest supermarket groups in Japan, the Aeon Group naturally attaches great importance to Christmas.

Aeon supermarkets throughout Japan are lit up with two Christmas trees at the door.

In particular, the AEON supermarket in Chiyoda-ku, which is located in Chiyoda-ku, has two large Christmas trees at the entrance, and several Santa Claus are playing with customers in the small square in front of the store.

Chiyoda Ward is the political and economic center of Japan as it is home to many political institutions such as the Emperor of Japan and the RB Diet.

Therefore, the area and number of products of AEON supermarkets in Chiyoda Ward are at the forefront of the entire AEON Group.

Every Christmas, many people come to AEON supermarkets in Chiyoda Ward to shop or participate in Christmas events held by the AEON Group.

This year, AEON Supermarket held Christmas events in the small square in front of the door as usual, but the situation was a little different from previous years.

Because the Christmas event at AEON Supermarket has rich prizes, many people participate.

It is held at 9 a.m., and at 10 a.m. the square is crowded with people attending Christmas events.

Some of the people who came late to the Christmas event this year saw something like this in the square:

The square was still crowded with people, but most of them were lining up neatly, and the direction of the queue was inside the AEON supermarket.

The Christmas event in the square was attended by many fewer people than in previous years, and a few Santa Claus were a little embarrassed to stir up the atmosphere.

Rina Takasei and Chinian Enori were classmates who attended a junior high school in Chiyoda Ward.

Today is Christmas, school holidays, and they come to AEON Supermarket together.

In previous years, they would come to AEON Supermarket, but that was for the Christmas event, and today they came to buy electronic pets.

At first, they wanted to participate in the Christmas event first, but remembering the troubles of participating in the event in previous years, they decided that it would be better to buy an electronic pet.

Rina Guiqing and Zhinian Jiangdian have participated in many Christmas events, and they have never won awards, but they have been embarrassed at the event every time.

"Why are there so many people in line?"

Zhinian Jiang Dian looked at the long line in front of him, a little confused, he roughly estimated that there were at least a thousand people in line.

"It's a lot of people, why don't we go to the Christmas event first, there are many fewer people participating in the Christmas event this year than before, and the probability of winning the prize will be a little greater!"

Rina Guiqing turned her head to look at the Christmas event on the other side of the square.

Zhinian Jiang Dian also turned his head to look at the Christmas event site, thought for a while and said: "Although there are fewer people than before, there are still many people, and the probability of winning the award is not much higher."

And last year my troubles were seen by the rest of the class and laughed at for a long time, and I didn't want to participate in the Christmas event. ”

Zhinian Jiang Dian was made out of the shadow by his own troubles, and last year's Christmas event had an umbrella turning activity, and he turned more than 10 times and threw up on the spot.

It was seen by several classmates in the class, and they publicized it in the class, and then he was laughed at for a long time.

"Okay, we're still lining up to buy electronic pets. ”

Rina Guiqing has also had many troubles at Christmas events, and the idea of participating in Christmas activities is not strong.

"Have you finished reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets?" asked Zhinian Jiangdian.

"I watched it all night, and my mom almost found out. Rina Guiqing said with a smile.

"I also watched it all night, it's so good-looking, I hope Xu Jun can come out with a sequel soon. Zhinian Jiangdian said.

"I also want Xu Jun to release a sequel, but it shouldn't be so fast, at least more than half a year. Rina Guiqing then said:

"Is the electronic pet that Xu Jun gave away at the press conference really fun? I have seen a lot of reports that the electronic pet is very fun, and Xu Jun also said that the electronic pet will become a world trend. ”

Zhinian Jiang Dian hesitated for a while and said: "It should be fun, Xu Jun said that electronic pets will become a world trend, and what he said will definitely not deceive people." ”

"I also believe Xu Jun's words. Rina Guiqing is a bit like a fanatical fan in later generations, and said with a fanatical expression.

Zhinian Jiangdian and Rina Guiqing are both Xu Qing's book fans and like Harry Potter very much.

A few days ago, they saw Xu Qing give away more than 8,000 electronic pets at the press conference of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and declared that electronic pets would become a world trend.

And then they saw a lot of reports of electronic pets in a lot of media, and most of the reports praised electronic pets.

As Xu Qing's avid book fans, Zhinian Jiangdian and Rina Guiqing naturally wanted to support Xu Qing, so they all came to buy electronic pets.

I didn't expect so many people to come to buy electronic pets, and the queue was only a little less than the number of people queuing up to buy "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" a few days ago.

Although the tagline of the animatronic pet is a completely new genre, it is about to become a world trendy game.

But they are all avid Nintendo fans and don't think there is a game in this world that is more fun than Nintendo's games.

Their thoughts are not surprising, many people who come to buy electronic pets today are buying electronic pets with the idea of supporting Xu Qing.

I really think that Cyber Pet is a very fun game, and only those who get Cyber Pet at the launch event, and the people around these people.

This is a bit like the fan economy in later generations, where an idol endorses a certain brand, and fans support it as soon as possible.

But if the brand isn't so good, then a lot of fans may not buy the brand again.

Most of the first buyers of electronic pets came from Xu Qing's book fans, and then used these book fans as a diffusion point to influence more and more people.

With the charm of electronic pets, many of these people will buy electronic pets.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Qing gave away electronic pets at the press conference of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

The data also supports the correctness of Xu Qing's decision, and most of the first-day sales of electronic pets came from bookstores.

Many book lovers bought "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" by the way when they bought an electronic pet.

There are also some book lovers who bought "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" before, and then come to the bookstore again to buy electronic pets.

As the sale of electronic pets continues, the storm of electronic pets caused by book lovers slowly spreads around.

Initially, it was the people around these book lovers who were influenced to buy electronic pets, and then more people were influenced.

More and more fans who are not Harry Potter are buying electronic pets, and this proportion is increasing rapidly, and eventually becoming the vast majority of electronic pet buyers.
