Kentaro Miyamoto and Aina Ashida took the last train back to Shinjuku City after parting. Before I went to college, I really didn't know how to take the subway.

When he went to college, he learned how to use this type of public transport. Although there are empty seats in each carriage, it does not mean that there are fewer people.

Kentaro Miyamoto casually found an empty seat and sat down. Even if he drank a lot of wine, he was not drunk. Instead of feeling drowsy, he observed the other people in the same carriage.

He could easily discern the look of exhaustion on their faces. Some people simply close their eyes and take a nap. Nine times out of ten, this is caused by long hours of overtime.

In Japan, especially in Minato-ku, Tokyo, where companies are located, it has long been common to work overtime until late at night.

However, for ordinary migrant workers, even if they work in Minato Ward, it does not mean that they can live in Minato Ward. The high rent in the port area is simply not a burden that ordinary workers can bear.

Even ordinary white-collar workers with official membership status in large companies will feel that the rent in Minato is expensive if there is no housing subsidy or the rent provided by their own company is cheap, and the rent is much lower than the market price.

Therefore, they work in the Minato area, the central area, or the sub-central area, but they cannot live here, and can only be forced to rent in the non-central area, where the rent is cheaper. This is often on the edge of Tokyo.

On weekdays, they would wake up early, especially in winter, when it was not dawn, and they could go out looking at the moon and stars, and when they returned to their residences, they also saw the stars and the moon hanging in the night sky.

If the worker, the soul of the worker, and the part-time worker are all masters, it is completely a kind of decompression and self-deprecation of the worker. As for buying a house in Tokyo, I can't even think about it.

Kentaro Miyamoto, as a college student majoring in sociology at Waseda University, has already understood that these ordinary migrant workers belong to the hands and mouths, and they are not at all reincarnated and lucky like themselves.

Many of them have to rely on their personal willpower to go to work for the small monthly attendance award, even if they have a fever and their bodies are sore and uncomfortable.

It's not just that they like it, it's that they don't have a choice. If there was money, who would do that? It's all because of the lack of money.

When I arrived at Shinjuku Station, the subway door opened and Kentaro Miyamoto walked out. He was back in this place that was both familiar and strange. I can take a taxi back from Minato.

The reason why he didn't do that was because he suddenly wanted to take the last subway. He hadn't really sat on it before.

In a way, I'm also lucky. He really didn't know the time of the last train, and he didn't remember it at all.

If they miss the last train home, they have no choice but to spend a night in an internet café or a capsule apartment.

Otherwise, you can only go to a convenience store that is open 24 hours a day, and you will only be able to stay overnight in a fast food restaurant. If you take a taxi back, the cost will be huge. This is one of the first exclusion options.

Kentaro Miyamoto returned to his residence in Kagurazaka. He didn't rush to take a shower, and went to bed. I was in good spirits and took a can of Coca-Cola from the refrigerator.

He opened it directly, drank it, and walked to the recreation room. I sat on the computer chair and turned on the computer as soon as I raised my right hand.

Miki Fujiwara, who had moved directly from Kentaro Miyamoto's grandmother's house to live with him, appeared, "It's so late, you don't plan to sleep yet?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto smiled at her and said, "Aren't I worried that it will affect you?" ”

Fujiwara Miki said bluntly: "Come less." Are you going to play the game all night tonight? ”

Kentaro Miyamoto nodded and said, "You still know me best." Didn't Bandai recently launch a critically acclaimed new MMORPG, "Blue Protocol"?

I downloaded it, but I never had time to play. Things on the side of Xiaohe Film and Television Company have gradually increased. From time to time, Brother Xiushu had to ask me to come over for a meeting.

I was embarrassed to refuse, after all, he didn't even spend his newlywed honeymoon for work. What reason can I excuse myself? ”

Fujiwara Miki didn't understand: "Tomorrow is Saturday, can't you play slowly?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto points out: "The popularity of a new MMORPG game depends not on the number of people online during the day, but on the number of people online in the middle of the night.

People who are still staying up late to play games during this time period are definitely the core users of the game. These are the people who are the foundation of the whole game.

How to attract Kryptonians to create a steady stream of value for game companies? The first thing is to have a large number of online players. Otherwise, it will directly greatly reduce the pleasure of being able to dominate the game.

Bandai is one of the largest integrated entertainment companies in Japan, mainly involved in entertainment, networking, animation products and merchandise.

The number of various sci-fi, anime, and tokusatsu models it produces is the largest in the world. The company's most famous work is the Mobile Suit Gundam series.

In addition to toys and children's entertainment, Bandai's global product portfolio includes game software, multimedia, music, feature films, vending machines, game cards, candy, licensed apparel and models.

A considerable part of its main business overlaps with a complete ACGN ecological chain that we want to build. It's also a piece of the puzzle that I can't get around and needs so much. ”

Fujiwara Miki heard the true meaning of his words and said, "You want to buy Bandai Corporation?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto laughed and said, "I would like to, but I don't have such a strong strength at the moment. Although Brother Xiushu and Brother Tuozhen both have the strength to acquire, they are not interested in Bandai Company at all.

I knew I couldn't convince any of them. Even if Brother Takujin and Brother Xiushu are involved, it will be difficult for them to help me.

At best, they will make very limited investments. It is not so much optimistic about investment projects, but rather about investment in human favors. I bought shares in a number of companies, including the famous Sony Corporation.

Why haven't I bought Bandai shares all this time? It's not that I'm not bullish on it, it's that once I buy it, I'm going to make a tender offer.

If I don't have an absolute controlling stake in Bandai, it won't be convenient for me to completely divest some of its businesses in the future.

I just need Bandai's businesses that can be connected to the complete ecosystem of ACGN that I envisioned. ”
