After ending the phone call with Eiichi Kambo, Hideki Hanyu looked at Kyoko Koizumi, who was still immersed in her homework.

"Goblin, what are you messing with?"

"Don't you like it?" Koizumi said in a coquettish voice.

"It seems that during this time, because you are running propaganda outside, I have taken too few classes."

After Hanyu Sensei finished speaking, he began to teach the little goblin by word and deed.

……

For Hideki Hanyu, attending classes is just a spice in life.

On top of that, public opinion about his Kate Greenway Award nomination has finally subsided.

He finally didn't need to worry about reporters chasing and intercepting him, and he could go out and start his activities.

However, because he had accumulated a lot of work, he threw himself into work as soon as he came out.

The first is the release of Genki Girl's fourth single, and his main focus is on sales and word-of-mouth.

The first is sales, with record pre-orders reaching a new high.

The number of pre-orders of nearly 500,000 proves that the popularity of Genki Girl is still hot.

In the end, it was no surprise that with the initial sales of 540,000 in the first week, it landed first on the public trust list.

In addition to the neon record market, the first week of overseas shipments of records also exceeded 1.5 million copies.

The overwhelming reports and terrifying sales prove that the vitality girl is still a neon phenomenon-level super idol group.

However, in stark contrast to the popularity of sales, it is a polarized professional reputation.

The feedback for the new single overseas, as well as the feedback from fans, is not bad.

Neon professional music critics, although they thought it was an excellent song, disagreed on the integration of electronic music style.

But there is one thing that everyone didn't expect.

That is, although the professional word-of-mouth of the new single is polarized, the music with electronic dance music elements of Genki Girl has unexpectedly become popular in neon nightclubs.

Although the first song of Genki Girl is very popular, it is really not suitable for playing in nightclubs because of that kind of youthful and cute music.

This time, the music with electronic dance music elements and the simple and dynamic dance design made this song very popular in the night show.

Hideki Hanyu was originally just trying the idea of a little new element, but it unexpectedly catered to the trend of neon nightlife development.

As a result, the song's influence spread beyond the fan base.

In the words of later generations, it is out of the circle.

And the impact of being out of the circle is that the sales curve of this song is extremely weird.

After selling 540,000 copies in the first week, according to the performance of Genki Girl's previous singles, sales that should have begun to decline dramatically have come out of a curve that has almost not declined.

In the second week, the song sold 470,000 copies again in the neon market.

continues to be the top of the public trust list of songs and weeks, that is a matter of course.

can sell more than one million in two weeks after its release, which shocked countless people's jaws.

Even the first three singles of Genki Girl all exceeded one million sales.

But that also accumulates over time.

Basically, it exploded in the first week and cut in half in the second week.

But what's going on with this fourth single?

Obviously, the professional reputation is not as good as the first three songs, but I can dance in a nightclub, and the sales are so explosive?

But for Hideki Hanyu.

The record sales exploded, the fans' reputation was good, and although the professional reputation was polarized, it was also acceptable because of the relationship between trying new genres.

He is already very satisfied with this kind of achievement.

Therefore, after the sales in the first week came out, he actually didn't care much about the situation of the vitality girl.

Next, in addition to occasionally calling Eiichi Kamibo in Osaka to communicate the latest situation in the stock market, his main focus is still on Elf Entertainment.

After entering February, the electronic pet Tuoma Gezi was modified according to his suggestion, and the prototype was officially determined and delivered to the foundry for production.

Due to the large amount of stock required by Hideki Hanyu, the requirements for the quality control department are very high.

Outsiders may not know, but the neon people still don't know that the so-called craftsman spirit that they boast about to the outside world is just boasting.

Nintendo's own FC has had quality problems.

Modifying data and falsifying it is the norm in large factories.

What's more, they are not cooperating with large factories.

Therefore, from the beginning of mass production, in order to ensure the production quality of products, Juntada Kusamura and the employees of the quality control department are stationed in the foundry every day.

A batch of finished electronic pets was shipped from the factory, and Junzhong Kusamura personally sampled a batch.

Once a quality problem is found, it will be required to return to the factory immediately, and it will not be tolerated.

Because of the huge amount of orders from Genie Entertainment, whether it is a semiconductor manufacturer, a material factory, or a foundry, all of them are obedient.

In addition to Juntada Kusamura, Eri Kitahara also visits the factory from time to time to conduct spot checks.

Elf Entertainment has only one requirement for the strategic product of Tuoma Gezi, and that is foolproof.

And just when the production of electronic pets was in full swing.

The sales promotion work before the listing of Tuoma Gezi has also been launched.

The first shot was fired by the Genie Cute comic magazine.

After the plot of Takuma Utako's descent into reality begins, it is followed by a promotional campaign to draw lucky readers and obtain electronic lives.

As long as you send back the questionnaire according to the requirements of the campaign, you will have a chance to obtain an unprecedented electronic life.

At first, comic book fans thought it was just a magazine gimmick.

As a result, when the readers who sent back the questionnaire, the first winner appeared, and they really got an electronic pet.

And after being tracked and reported by the game magazine "Game Base".

Everyone was surprised to find that there really was such a thing as electronic life.

In "Game Base", the continuous tracking reports continue to release the news of various electronic life.

And after the winning readers love electronic life, everyone gradually became curious about this so-called electronic life.

Driven by curiosity, because of the fact that they can't buy electronic life for the time being, everyone has begun to buy the weekly comic book "Elf Cute".

They want to use the questionnaire as an opportunity to get the magical electronic life in the report that makes players want to stop.

As a result, in a short period of time, the circulation of "Elf Cute" has doubled from more than 100,000 to more than 200,000 copies.

And as players continue to win prizes in surveys, the news of getting electronic life has begun to spread.

Media outlets outside of Game Base have also begun to report on the magical "electronic life".

The news spread, everyone paid attention to electronic life, and the sales of "Game Base" increased.

The sales of "Game Base" have risen, and the detailed reports have made everyone interested in "Elf Cute".

Trying to rely on questionnaires, to get electronic life.

Then I found out that electronic life is really fun, spreading influence, and then attracting other media reports.

As a result, more and more people are paying attention to electronic life, and more and more people are buying Game Base and Elf Cute.

You found that both magazines are very good.

Gamers can find the latest game introduction guides in Game Base.

There are also leaderboards based on sales, market share, and ratings.

Manga fans have also found that the three comics that are being serialized in the previously unknown manga magazine "Elf Cute" are also very interesting.

The witty and funny "Mario Bros.

The friendship and enthusiasm of "Kung Fu".

Everyday cute "Tuoma Songko".

For a time, the sales of the two magazines began to skyrocket.

The soaring sales of magazines have further boosted the attention of related games.

The game substrate of "Mario Bros. " exceeded 10,000 orders in a single week.

Not to mention "Tuoma Songzi", under the hype of the media, everyone is already looking forward to the magical electronic life.

Even "Kung Fu", which has just started testing, is already being tested by regular customers of Genie Entertainment who are inquiring about when it will go on sale.

At the end of February, Game Base, under the command of Hideki Hanyu, began a promotional campaign for the first 'Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Show'.

Celebrity advertisements featuring Genki Girl, Akina Nakamori, Seiko Matsuda, MAKE-UP Band, and Kyoko Koizumi.

began to appear frequently in newspapers, magazines, and television.

Tokyo Culture Hall, March 20th, the first 'Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition' will kick off.

This time is the time when the spring break of Neon's major schools begins.

Hideki Hanyu set the time at this time in the hope of attracting more young people to participate.

With Game Base's position in the field of game promotion, the exhibition attracted more than 40 manufacturers.

Although they are mainly neon game manufacturers, there are also several overseas manufacturers who have accepted the invitation.

With the help of Game Base, many game manufacturers have announced that they will announce the next phase of new games at the show.

For example, Elf Entertainment has made a big publicity, and when the time comes, two cross-era games will be announced, and the long-awaited electronic life will be publicly unveiled.

Such a grand event in the game industry has not only attracted the attention of many players, but also attracted the attention of many practitioners.

For example, buyers of major chain game halls, as well as game sellers, will definitely not miss such a grand event.

There is also a manufacturer that is holding back its strength and is ready to make a big move, which is naturally tempted.

This manufacturer is none other than Nintendo.

Although Osaka's stock price has been rising non-stop recently, Yamauchi Pu, the head of Nintendo, is confused and worried.

But for this Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Show, of course, he didn't want to miss it.

After all, when the exhibition opens, the new factory of Nintendo's FC console will also be completed.

Nintendo's ambition, the FC console, also needs a platform to release a little news to players.

In the ardent anticipation of many game fans, and in the preparation of sellers and manufacturers, Hideki Hanyu sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

In the office of the chairman of cloud culture, Hideki Hanyu has just approved the layout plan for the exhibition site.

Immediately afterwards, I looked at the test reports of "Kung Fu" and "Knocking on Ice Cubes".

These two games are the ones he plans to unveil at the show.

Judging from the test reports, Divine Studios and Mythic Studios have done quite well in terms of the completion of the game.

As for the specifics, he still has to find time to see for himself.

Recently, he has been in control of the overall situation, and he has been a little busy, and he hasn't been to the studio for a while.

In addition to the test report, Divine Studios and Fantastic Studios also submitted their new game development applications together.

They intend to join forces and use the story background of the Kung Fu comics.

Introduce the mechanics of reel games and develop a more difficult side-scrolling and kung fu game.

The moment he saw the setting of the game, Hideki Hanyu immediately remembered the later "Jackie Chan Kicking Gym".

For the ambitions of the two studios, Hideki Hanyu is very supportive.

However, in terms of the setting of the game mechanics, he is not very satisfied, thinking that it lacks a selling point.

However, he did not give the setting directly, but just wrote down the name of Bruce Lee's classic movie "Game of Death".

He hopes that the two studios can borrow more elements from this film.

As for whether the game can be a big hit after the final game is developed, Hideki Hanyu doesn't care.

After all, if you want to train your team's game development skills, it's impossible not to go through independent training.

A "Knock on the Ice" is stumbling and stumbling, and how to develop the more difficult "Super Mario Bros." later.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a side-scrolling game to practice your hands.

Even if you fail, you should pay the tuition.

Besides, the later "Jackie Chan Kicking Gym" sold more than 3 million copies on the FC console.

Even if his high-imitation version doesn't work anymore, it should be no problem to sell it back.

After finishing the work at hand, Hanyu Hideki looked up at his watch, it was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Before I knew it, the morning was spent in a busy time.

Getting up and stretching, he was about to go to lunch when there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

As soon as his voice fell, he saw Eri Kitahara push the door in.

"Is Kitahara-san also going to lunch?"

"I actually just came back and went to Ota Ward in the morning to see the progress of the new plant."

"How's the completion going?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"The surrounding toy factories have been closed, and the production machinery is also being debugged, and it will be handed over in a few days and workers will be arranged to enter the factory."

"Where's the electronics factory?"

"Because the electronics factory is being built from scratch, the construction requirements are relatively high, and the completion will not be until mid-April at the earliest."

"If production starts in earnest, won't it be May?"

"Including the recruitment and training of workers, it would be good to be able to start work in mid-May." Eri Kitahara said.

"That's the only way it can be, it seems that Kusamura-san will have to work hard for a while longer."

Hanyu Hideki knows very well that after the completion of the electronics factory, Kusamura Juntada will not only keep an eye on the quality control of the foundry, but also be responsible for the training of employees.

Hard work, that's for sure.

But it's time for that guy to pick a few employees with good abilities to train them and promote them to share the pressure.

Later, the scale of production was expanded again, but it was not just neon.

To the west, plus North America, Juntada Kusamura can still run on both sides in Tokyo.

But no matter how powerful Kusamura Junzhong is, it is impossible to learn the doppelganger technique, and the whole world is running around.

Of course, it is not enough to rely on the current staff, and it is definitely necessary to learn from Asako Hirohashi's practice of showing pictures in the clouds and recruit more reserve forces.

Although it seems that the manpower is still tight when the film is released on the cloud, if you look closely, you will find that there are often more than one person in the key positions.

The training of newcomers is going on all the time.

At the current pace of training, without waiting for the bubble economy to come, the talents who will be able to film on the cloud will be self-sufficient.

The same is true for culture on the cloud.

He has already told Eri Kitahara about this.

Eri Kitahara also went to talk to Asako Hirohashi about the matter.

Although Hideki Hanyu doesn't know what the two strong women said, he has already discovered that Eri Kitahara is making a recruitment plan for the graduation season.

In this way, Hideki Hanyu is very relieved.

Whether it is cloud film and painting or cloud culture, he hopes to lay a good foundation before the bubble economy starts.

Save yourself from facing the sudden outbreak of the bubble economy and catch yourself off guard.

At that time, the competition for talent was not as easy as it is now.

Famous college students come to apply for a job, but those who can look at it do not have a large amount of transportation expenses and various benefits, and they don't want to impress people at all.

Thinking of this, he took out a document that he had just written during the day and handed it to Eri Kitahara.

"Kitahara-san, take a look."

"What's that?"

Eri Kitahara took the document and flipped through it, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Hanyu-san is going to help them buy a house?"

"It's not a direct purchase, but the club advances the down payment and subsidizes a part of the loan, which is a benefit and a constraint to prevent core employees from jumping ship."

Hideki Hanyu explains.

The document he gave to Eiri Kitahara was the same loan housing welfare system that Asako Hirohashi had helped to formulate.

After Asako Hirohashi formulated the copy of the picture on the clouds, he made a part of the culture on the clouds based on it.

Hearing this, Eri Kitahara joked, "No wonder Hanyu-san helped me buy a house before, but he was afraid that I would change jobs." ”

"Yes, a talent like Kitahara-san, of course I can't let it go easily."

Hideki Hanyu certainly knew that Eri Kitahara was joking.

After all, he helped Eri Kitahara buy a house before, and he didn't sign any agreement.

Other employees will need to sign a very strict agreement to take advantage of this benefit.

Otherwise, Hanyu Hideki is not a virgin, not to prevent them from changing jobs, why spend so much money on them.

"There is a list of the first batch of employees who can enjoy benefits at the back of the document, Kitahara-san, you take a look, is there anything you need to add?"

Eri Kitahara flipped to the back and carefully checked the list, and because there were not many people, he quickly finished reading it.

She pointed to the list and asked, "Why is Toshihiko Nakago's name also in it, didn't the studio that bought him before give more than 50 million?" ”

"At that time, the procedures were still handled by Kitahara-san, and Kitahara-san didn't know that the studio was not his alone, and the money he could get was more than 10 million, which was not enough to buy a house in Tokyo."

"Is that so? I went to Osaka after the talk, and I didn't pay attention to the rest of the story. ”

Eri Kitahara closed the document, "I have no objection to the list. ”

"Then the next thing will be carried out by Kitahara-san."

"No problem."

"After getting down to business, I'll invite Kitahara-san to lunch, what do you want to eat, albeit ......"

Before Hanyu could finish speaking, the phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone, and the voice of Eiichi Jimbo came from the receiver.

"Boss, Marubeni's fund has moved!"

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he hurriedly made a helpless expression to Eri Kitahara.

Seeing this, Eri Kitahara knew that Hideki Hanyu's invitation to dinner had been ruined again.

She smiled slightly, no longer bothered Hanyu Hideki to answer the phone, and took the initiative to leave the office.

"What's the matter, tell me to be more careful."

"After Nintendo's stock price reached 340 yen today, Marubeni began to ship in small quantities."

"Didn't you catch them all?"

"But this price is already more than double that after we entered, do we still have to take it?"

Eiichi Jimbo felt that Hideki Hanyu was crazy.

More than tripled and took over.

"I'm the boss, I order you to take as many as you want!"

According to the report in memory, Nintendo's stock price peaked at more than 6,300 yen two months after the launch of the FC console.

Not to mention tripling it, even if it triples again, he will dare to take it.

"I see, boss."

Eiichi Kamibo can only operate as Hanyu Hideki instructs.

……

Meanwhile, in a mansion in Tokyo, Haruko Naito was sitting with her uncle, listening to a report from his subordinates.

"President, all the lists we tried to throw out have been accepted."

When the uncle heard this, he said with a calm face, "Continue to test, increase the price, and double the order volume." ”

"Yes." The men left.

Haruko Naito smiled next to her and said, "Uncle is really cautious. ”

"Shopping malls are like battlefields, even if you are sure, you must be careful."

Not long after the two men had finished speaking, the subordinate returned to report again.

"President, our order has been taken again."

Hearing the report of his subordinates, his uncle, who had a calm expression just now, finally showed a hint of joy at this time.

After all, just these two temptations have made them millions of yen.

Marubeni Shotsu is huge, and of course he doesn't care about millions of yen.

But this feeling of making money in the stock market, where everything is under control, makes him enjoy it immensely.

But he wasn't in a hurry, "Three hundred and eighty yen, the same single amount of temptation." ”

"Yes." The men left.

The men came back again and reported, "All taken." ”

The uncle was finally relieved at this time, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "Follow the plan." ”

"Yes."

Seeing his subordinates leaving, the uncle turned his head to look at Haruko Naito and asked, "I don't know how much the other party can take?" ”

Haruko Naito smiled obediently, "I shouldn't disappoint my uncle." ”

Haruko Naito didn't know exactly how much cash Hanyu had raised.

However, through the relationship, the other party applied for a mortgage at Dongyang Sogo Bank.

As for how much is mortgaged? Is there any return now?

Because Hideki Hanyu is a big customer, and Toyo Sogo Bank does not belong to the First Bank Consortium.

So even she couldn't find out the specifics.

But if she was right.

Hideki Hanyu is interested in Nintendo, and that small amount of money is definitely not enough.

The other party is estimated to have mortgaged all the shares of Yunying Pictures and Cloud Culture.

Now because of her instigation, her uncle has pulled up Nintendo's stock price so much.

The other party even dared to make a desperate bet to follow.

is really worthy of the man she is interested in, and he is so bold.

……

Cloud Culture, President's Office.

Hideki Hanyu, who hung up the phone call from Eiichi Jimbo, sat on the chair, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"Fortunately, I made a profit by shorting Warner Communications, otherwise I really wouldn't have the capital to catch this kind of benefit that fell from the sky."

Thank you for the tip
