Lin Yan didn't know what others were doing, he was ready to hold a meeting.

He found Haruka Kishimoto and Yuki Chiba, and the three of them sat down around a round table in a windowless conference room, talking about how to face this great crisis.

This is the first time that everyone has encountered this kind of thing, and they are all a little flustered and looking for a solution.

"I think it's important to have a positive character. For example, there is a story about a student who, after playing a game, began to be angry and worked hard to study. I believe that Japan is so big, if you want to find such an example, you can always find it. Haruka Kishimoto said along her train of thought.

After listening to this, Chiba Yuki pondered for a while and said, "I'm against it!" By doing so, you are exacerbating the conflict. There is no real solution to the problem. Game Pass is not a mainstream medium, it is a spin-off of video games. It is aimed at a readership of people who play games. If you report like that, I'm afraid something will go wrong. I've looked at the age range of your readers, and most of them are in their teens. It's not realistic for them to advertise that playing games will improve their academic performance.

But...... Although your claim is a bit hypocritical, it is not entirely unfeasible. If this report can be seen by their parents......"

Chiba Yuki first opposed Haruka Kishimoto, and then put forward his own opinions and opinions.

Lin Yan listened carefully to the words of the two people, he was a little hesitant, and now he wanted to get rid of his involvement in this matter, isn't it not good.

He said with some hesitation, "Perhaps, before we talk about this." The girl's parents should be compensated financially first. We didn't do it, though. But it's also about us, at least we should make a gesture, right? ”

Yuki Chiba and Haruka Kishimoto nodded together.

Although both of them agree with Lin Yan's humanitarian spirit. But the two of them are still a little worried, if they do this, it is not equivalent to admitting that video games will make people make mistakes.

Lin Yan had a general idea in his heart, and he said, "Let's not talk about the problem of "Game Pass", Senior Sister Chiba, let me ask you a question, what is the main business of Chiba Games?" ”

"Yes...... Red and white machine. "Chiba Yuki is also a little flustered now. She looked at Lin Yan's eyes staring at her, and understood that what he wanted to say was not a video game, but a red and white machine.

Haruka Kishimoto was also a little puzzled, but this time when she heard Chiba Yuki's words, her eyes suddenly widened, she slapped the table and said, "Xiaoyan, you mean, the red and white machine is a home game console. Playing video games at home, it's safe, and you won't turn into a bad youth? Won't make mistakes? ”

Lin Yan nodded.

Yuki Chiba also figured it out. She suddenly felt that Lin Yan was really a little smart. That's the case. It's like putting it off from arcade games.

But...... She said with some concern, "What about the arcade business?" ”

"Chop it up!" Lin Yan said. "The sales of red and white machines have exceeded three million units, almost every 20 households in Japan. There is a red and white machine. Chiba-senpai, your family is in the retail business. You know what that amount represents. ”

Yuki Chiba said he knew.

"Since our current red and white machine is so prosperous. There is no need to continue to keep the arcade business. These days, I see that you are also feeling quite helpless about the arcade department in the company. Cutting it out now is just the right thing to do to reduce operating costs. The arcade factory, which belongs directly to Chiba Games, can also be disbanded. ”

If he was talking to a mature boss, Lin Yan would not have said his opinion so clearly. No matter how you look at it, the boss doesn't want a guy who is his own employee to dictate what to do.

That is, he has a good relationship with Chiba Yuxi, so he can say this matter so easily.

Haruka Kishimoto also understands here.,Originally, in the recent past,There are more new games on the red and white machine than the arcade.。 The layout of "Game Pass" magazine has also tilted towards red and white machines.

"I'm going to do a special reflection session, and then I'm going to focus on home console games like the red and white machine." In this case, we should be able to reduce some of the impact. ”

After more than two hours of discussion, the three of them finally discussed the specific details of the operation.

After Haruka Kishimoto returned, he immediately began to prepare a new issue of the special magazine. And Chiba Yuki, on the other hand, is responsible for preparing for the press conference, where he will announce in a high-profile manner that he will abandon the arcade market and devote himself wholeheartedly to the development of home console games.

Lin Yan's task, compared to the two of them, is not so urgent. He will organize the people of Chiba Games to develop several healthy and uplifting puzzle games to establish a positive image for the red and white machine.

The three of them walked out of the conference room.

Haruka Kishimoto took the lead and rode away on his bicycle. Lin Yan is also a little strange, how can she say that she is now the editor-in-chief and boss of a magazine with an average sales of 100,000 per issue, why does she refuse to buy a car.

Haruka Kishimoto replied very easily, she said lightly, "How good the bicycle is, not only can it exercise, but it is also convenient to park." ”

Lin Yan asked carefully again, it was indeed so. The parking space in the underground garage of Haruka Kishimoto's office building costs 10,000 yen a month, and you can buy a cheap car for a few months' rent.

There are two people left, Yuki Chiba and Hayashihiko.

Chiba Yuki had worry written on his face, and said to Hayashi Yan, "You say, will it be because of this incident that Japanese video games, like American video games, will collapse?" ”

Lin Yan said, "No. Video games in the United States collapsed because most people lost faith in video games. The games circulating in the market are inferior and identical. And our side is different, with the 'Mario Club', the games that are destined to pass the red and white machine can only be boutique games.

It's true that this incident has a bad impact, but don't worry, according to the way we deal with it now, the sales of red and white machines and the sales of game cartridges will not decrease. ”

Chiba Yuki was silent for a while and said, "You say, are video games righteous?" Are we doing this business a righteous act? ”

Lin Yan looked at Chiba Youxi's gloomy appearance, and said with relief, "What are you born for, do you give birth to death?" There are many people who play video games, and there will definitely be all kinds of people, and there are bad people in them, and it is normal to do bad things. Don't bother, it's fine. ”

――――――

Sorry, sorry, sorry. (To be continued......)
