Chapter 195: Expected Public Opinion Attack
In ancient China, there was a strategy, called 'Ming Xiu plank road darkness Chen Cang'.
Hideki Hanyu came to America seemingly to sell electronic pets.
But the ultimate goal is for the entire gaming market.
Genie Entertainment started too late and its R&D capabilities were weak, and even if Hideki Hanyu had many games in his head, it would take time to develop them.
Nintendo's first-mover advantage is simply too great.
If you follow Nintendo in Neon, you will only end up with another Sega.
Therefore, Hanyu Hideki took advantage of the short-term depression of the Amerika game market and took advantage of Nintendo's focus on neon development to take advantage of the America game market.
In order not to attract the attention of Nintendo, enter the American market in advance.
Hideki Hanyu has three stages of development, which is completely opposite to Nintendo.
Nintendo started with arcade games, using FC consoles to open up the market, and then relying on console game portings to drive handheld sales.
Hideki Hanyu uses electronic pets to attract users, guide users to buy handhelds, and then quickly launch games on handhelds.
Then use the handheld as a springboard to launch a console with a better gaming experience.
It doesn't matter if Nintendo is one step ahead in the neon market.
As long as Genie Entertainment can gain a foothold in America, it will be able to gain benefits far beyond the neon market.
After all, in the 80s, America was not only the world's largest consumer electronics market, but also the vane of the world's consumer electronics market.
It will undoubtedly be easier to win the America market, whether it is to expand to other regions or to counterattack Neon.
When Hideki Hanyu told him all about his plan.
Not to mention Michael Katz, even Satoshi Iwata and Tetsu Aragaki who heard this for the first time were extremely shocked.
Just when other game manufacturers are still struggling with the success or failure of a game or a console.
Hideki Hanyu has already planned such a long-term and ambitious plan.
Every seemingly heavyweight product is just paving the way for future plans.
Even from the beginning, Hideki Hanyu's eyes were not limited to America, but the whole world.
Just thinking about the future success scenario, Michael Katz can't help but get excited.
It's not just about success and wealth.
It is also for the sense of accomplishment that Hanyu Hideki described, the feeling of being the world's game overlord.
In this way, for this grand goal, the North American branch of Genie Entertainment began to operate in full force.
With the help of Michael Katz, Hideki Hanyu overhauled the North American division of Genie Entertainment.
The first is to separate the hardware R&D department and establish the North American Hardware R&D Center of Elf Entertainment to facilitate more focused hardware R&D work.
Tetsuya Aragaki is currently in charge of the R&D center.
The R&D center was temporarily divided into three R&D groups as suggested by Michael Katz.
They are the graphics processing chip R&D group.
Electronic pet 'Poké Ball (Red/Green)' R&D team.
and the handheld Game Boy established at the suggestion of Michael Katz, as well as the hardware design reserve R&D team of the internal codename 'Phantom One' console.
According to Michael Katz, now that the plan has been made.
There is no need to wait for the development of electronic pets to be completed before starting the next phase of planning.
It is completely possible to prepare in advance.
And Michael Katz also proposed to take advantage of the current large-scale layoffs of major game manufacturers to continue to increase the recruitment of technical personnel and expand the scale of research and development.
Genie Entertainment's North American division, which spun off its hardware R&D division, will continue to develop and publish games.
Hideki Hanyu also fulfilled his previous promise to acquire Starpath with Satoshi Iwata as the leader.
After the completion of the offtake, the development of the PC game continued according to Michael Katz's plan.
After all, during the period when home console games were in a depression, the market for Amerika's PC games was still developing well.
Programmers in Silicon Valley play games to get to work, and even invented things like 'boss keys'.
With one click, switch between game and work seamlessly.
In order to realize his strategic plan, there will be more places to spend money in the future.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they also eat meat, and they can earn a little bit.
You can't keep him invested.
In that case, no amount of money he has will be enough.
Everything is going very well.
However, when Hideki Hanyu submitted the design requirements for the video game console codenamed 'Elf One' to the R&D center, it was unexpectedly opposed by Michael Katz.
In Neon, I like to invest in real estate, and I know that Silicon Valley land prices will also skyrocket.
Mike Katz has been asked to find a suitable land in Silicon Valley to buy, and then establish an industrial park that belongs to the North American branch of Elf Entertainment.
However, before the completion of the industrial park, the independent North American R&D center of Elf Entertainment could only temporarily rent office space.
In the conference room of the newly rented R&D center, Hideki Hanyu asked Michael Katz.
"Why doesn't Mr. Katz agree with the design of the main engine?"
Michael Katz didn't answer right away, but took out a document.
The information is Nintendo's release at the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Show, with some information about the new console.
And this information was provided to Michael Katz by Hideki Hanyu.
"Mr. Hideki, according to this information, Nintendo's new console should be an eight-bit machine."
"That's right." Hideki Hanyu said.
Nintendo's FC console is indeed an eight-bit machine.
Hanyu Hideki doesn't need to look at the information to know, after all, he has played it with his own hands I don't know how many times.
"If we think of this console as our biggest competitor, why should we design our console as an eight-bit like the other party?
They already have the advantage of being the first to be the first to have a time advantage, so we should take advantage of the research of the second mover.
Using the latest technology, we can develop a 16-bit mainframe.
The stronger host performance can also give better play to our technical characteristics in image processing.
If you just develop a host with the same performance as the other party, wouldn't it be a waste of the advantage of late-mover research. ”
Hearing Michael Katz's words, Hideki Hanyu found that he seemed to have fallen into the mistake of inertial thinking.
After referring to the design of the Game Boy handheld, he blindly pursued safety, which led him to still refer to the red and white machine in the performance design of the console.
At this point, Michael Katz continued.
"Has Mr. Hideki considered that the current hardware technology is developing so fast that when our 8-bit PC is launched, it will not be long before it can meet the running conditions of the new game.
At that point, redesigning a new console will not only cost money and delay development, but will also have to solve the problem of backward compatibility with games. ”
"Mr. Katz's opinion is very good, but I didn't think it through enough, and I will revise the design requirements for the new console."
Hideki Hanyu humbly accepted Michael Katz's advice.
He had realized that he was still too conservative in order to fit the success in his memory.
When Sega competed with Nintendo, it dared to engage in a performance battle with sixteen consoles.
Why wouldn't he dare?
And what Michael Katz said at the end makes a lot of sense.
In the eighties, hardware developed technology very quickly.
Not to mention the eight-bit machine, even now it is not the most cutting-edge technology.
has already chosen to strike later, so there is no need to go back to Nintendo's old path in order to be safe.
Because Nintendo later stumbled and wasted a lot of time in order to develop the second-generation console and solve the problem of backward compatibility, and finally failed to achieve it.
After revising the design requirements of the main engine, the preliminary research and development work began in full swing.
In this way, the entire North American game market is in a bleak situation.
Genie Entertainment's North American branch presents a completely different hot scene.
Other game companies cut fees, halt projects, reduce investment, lay off employees on a large scale, and even sell assets to escape the quagmire.
But what about the North American branch of Elf Entertainment.
The software development department spent a lot of money to acquire Starpath, Inc., to expand the number of game developers, and to start two PC game projects at the same time.
The distribution department, stabilizing the sales channels, began the preliminary publicity work of the electronic Poké Poké Ball in accordance with the marketing and publicity strategy specified by Michael Katz.
He also helped Koji Takita's "Game Base" magazine to distribute it in North America.
The independent hardware R&D center is even more lively.
The three working groups are still recruiting and carrying out their own research and development work according to demand.
Hideki Hanyu, who has countless ideas in his heart, also spends his days in the R&D center and puts forward various opinions.
For example, the graphics processing chip part can continue to dig deeper.
If the development is good, it will be independent, and maybe there will be one more elf brand in the future GPU manufacturers.
He didn't have a chance to compete with Huang to see who could have the most accurate knife.
And the research and development of the electronic Poké Ball, because the design is already perfect, does not require too much intervention from him.
And he is most involved in the pre-design of Game Boy handheld consoles and TV consoles.
Although Hideki Hanyu is not good at technology, when he became involved in the development of hardware, the speed of development has been visibly improved.
Why is this so, just because of two words.
Originality.
In the history of games, those famous genius developers may not have the most powerful skills.
But they've made their name in game history because of their unique approach to design and because of the unique ideas that drove the game.
What Hanyu Hideki has on his mind is mature experience and creativity in the future.
For example, in the design of the Game Boy handheld, he asked to abandon the screen backlight in exchange for longer battery life.
Because those opponents who were defeated by the Game Boy handheld in their previous lives proved it with a painful defeat.
No matter how awesome the color screen and backlight are, it can't compare to the battery life of a few more hours, and buying a few fewer batteries is attractive.
There is also the ability to save game cartridges when designing Pokémon.
A group of developers are still struggling with how to implement the archive function on the handheld.
Hanyu Hideki directly proposed to abandon the archive on the machine, and instead design a cassette that could be archived.
And directly give a mature design scheme.
That is to use a coin cell battery to drive the memory chip to complete the archiving.
He also recommends that there should be a clearly movable save prompt on the game screen during the save process.
Because of the limitations of storage speed in this era, the archiving time is often very long.
If there is no animated prompt that the save is being saved, the player is likely to mistakenly think that the machine is crashing and then force a reboot, resulting in the loss of the save.
It's all a mistake that Nintendo has made, and he certainly can't make it again.
In terms of host design, Hideki Hanyu asked to make full use of the performance of the sixteen-bit host.
Take advantage of the graphics processing advantages of the North American research center to present better picture and sound effects.
For example, it is necessary to support two-reel games and support the presentation of pseudo-3D effects.
In terms of operation, Hideki Hanyu added C and D keys to the A and B buttons of the game boy handheld.
That is, the continuous shooting and continuous jumping that players are familiar with.
You must know that on Nintendo's FC console, there are only A and B buttons.
The C,D button is actually Huaxia Xiaobawang when he was copying the red and white machine,I felt that it was too troublesome to press the A and B keys continuously,The first to get it。
It's the earliest physical cheat tool in the history of consoles.
But it's a very good design.
There's no reason why Hideki Hanyu shouldn't use it.
There is also the development of handheld and console consoles, as well as the development of development consoles for third-party game manufacturers.
It is convenient for third-party manufacturers to develop and port games.
In the previous life, Nintendo's FC console didn't do this at the beginning, but when it wanted to join a third-party game, it was delayed for too long.
In this way, with the mature experience and creativity in his memory, Hideki Hanyu enthusiastically devoted himself to research and development.
At the same time, there are neons nearly 10,000 kilometers away.
Three weeks after the launch of the Tuoma Gezi, the total sales reached 7.7 million units.
Although after entering the third week, the sales in a single week quickly fell to 2 million units.
But there is a lot of popularity about Tuoma Gezi, and I can't hold it anymore.
This one is lined up everywhere to buy the most popular electronic entertainment products among children.
It soon attracted media attention.
At this time, Elf Entertainment took advantage of the situation to release a second advertisement.
The sales department even announced that the total sales of Tuoma Gezi in three weeks reached 7.7 million units.
This has completely aroused the interest of the media.
Because according to the price of the basic version of Takuma Geko 1,980 yen.
Elf Entertainment generated 15 billion sales in three weeks.
And with the hot sale of Tuoma Gezi, it will definitely drive the sales of the surrounding area.
Toy sales, the specific number of peripheral authorizations, Genie Entertainment has not been announced.
However, "Elf Cute", which serialized Takuma Utako comics, has a new level of circulation after the launch of the electronic pet.
The circulation of the last issue was just over 500,000 copies, and the latest issue has once again ushered in explosive growth.
Directly broke through the 650,000 mark.
With a circulation of this number, Neon is no longer considered a niche comic magazine.
"Elf Cute" officially entered the public eye.
People who originally bought comics for Takuma Singko soon found that in this manga magazine, in addition to Takuma Singer, there are other comics that are also very good.
For example, in the magazine's first manga "Gosanjia", in addition to Takuma Utako, "Kung Fu" and "Mario Bros.
There are other original manga as well, which also look very good.
Driven by comic book magazines, sales of arcade game boards for Kung Fu and Mario Bros. have also increased.
Even "Kung Fu: Death Break", which is a sequel to "Kung Fu", has not yet completed production, and has received a large number of pre-orders.
Once again, Hanyu has proven how far-sighted the game and manga were originally formulated.
But if you want to say that Takuma Geko has attracted attention, and the circulation of "Elf CUTE" has risen, who is the most uncomfortable.
TV Tokyo is undoubtedly the one.
After planning for so long, I thought that my sense of smell was sensitive enough and I started early enough.
But I really didn't expect things to develop so quickly.
They are also negotiating with the cloud screening, but as a result, Takuma Geko became popular, and the sales of "Elf Cute" soared.
Comprehensive media and financial media have begun to report news in this regard.
Although it is not at the level of national discussion.
But for the relevant practitioners, it is enough.
TV Tokyo doesn't need to guess to know that there must already be competitors who have the same idea as them.
And the Tokyo TV guess is not wrong.
Someone has already started to act.
Fuji TV is filming the TV series that will be broadcast on the ninth file (9 o'clock on Tuesday night).
Yasuko Sawaguchi had just finished filming a scene when she returned to the chair in the lounge area and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, two female assistants came up to serve.
One delivers fruits, drinks, the latest newspapers and magazines.
One helped Yasuko Sawaguchi knead her shoulders and relax.
Yasuko Sawaguchi's posture is not like she is here to film, but like she is here for a vacation.
Looking at the rest of the crew, it seems that they are used to this kind of scene, and there is no other reaction at all.
In fact, when Yasuko Sawaguchi first joined the group, everyone only thought that this girl was so beautiful.
And then there's being polite.
Although the acting is jerky, the acting is very serious.
But as the contact lasted for a long time, everyone began to see another side of Yasuko Sawaguchi.
Although he is polite to people, what is hidden behind politeness is the coldness of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Never participates in any activities of the crew, nor does he have contact with anyone outside of work.
I'm serious about acting, but I feel like I don't care about my career.
does not reflect a little bit of the self-motivation that an actress in the circle should have.
If you don't make friends with your predecessors, even if you are a TV drama supervisor, you don't have any intention of pleasing you.
After the first two episodes of the TV series were broadcast, the ratings were not good, and they could only be regarded as results that would barely be cut.
When all the main creators of the crew were worried about this, Yasuko Sawaguchi looked indifferent.
It's as if it doesn't matter if this TV series is axed.
And everyone also found that Yasuko Sawaguchi's economy seems to be very good, and the requirements for living conditions are also very high.
The clothes you wear, the shoes you wear, the bags you wear, and the jewelry you wear are all high-end foreign brands.
The cheapest ones are no less than 100,000 yen.
At work, she has two life assistants.
On weekdays, all kinds of expensive fruits are not only eaten by themselves, but even generously given to other people in the crew.
rarely eats the crew's lunches, and they are basically customized high-end food boxes.
At the beginning, some people said that Yasuko Sawaguchi was the eldest lady of a wealthy family who came to the entertainment world to experience life.
Immediately afterwards, someone said that the other party was from a very ordinary background, but she was actually a woman from a certain bigwig in the circle.
It's been almost two weeks since I joined the group, and everyone has never seen any big names in the circle come to visit the class, and they all have doubts about this statement.
Even if there are no big names to visit the class, the crew supervisor is very polite to Yasuko Sawaguchi.
Someone who had a good relationship with the superintendent asked about the origin of Yasuko Sawaguchi, and the superintendent said that he did not know.
It's just because Koichi Minato, the executive member of the Production Bureau Committee, personally explained that he had to take good care of Yasuko Sawaguchi.
It is even required that there can be no intimate scenes in the filming.
Holding hands is the biggest scale.
When the crew heard Koichi Minato's name, they understood that no matter what the origin of Yasuko Sawaguchi was, it was not something they could provoke.
Therefore, he turned a blind eye to Yasuko Sawaguchi's style.
And just when the crew was resting, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance.
Then I saw a man and a woman, and under the personal reception of the superintendent, they entered the filming site of the crew.
Everyone knows the lady of the two, and it is Yasuko Sawaguchi's agent who often comes to the crew, and it seems that her name is Tamako Kada.
And another middle-aged man, the staff of Fuji TV soon revealed his identity.
"It's the head of the animation division, Mr. Motoko Sugiyama."
"How could the animation division come to our crew?"
"Who knows what happens at the top."
……
Just as the crew was quietly discussing, the TV drama supervisor and Tamako Kada accompanied Honko Sugiyama all the way to the rest area where Yasuko Sawaguchi was.
Far away, Kada Tamako saw Yasuko Sawaguchi eating fruit in small bites.
She didn't know what to say anymore.
This girl is favored by President Hanyu, and she is like two people before.
It's just a matter of pursuing enjoyment in life.
In his career, he is not enterprising at all.
But even though she knew about the relationship between Yasuko Sawaguchi and her own president, she didn't dare to take advantage of it at all.
Because she heard from Director Yoshioka that the upper echelons had joined forces with Kadokawa Pictures to suppress what had happened in Atsugi City before.
Otherwise, the matter about Yasuko Sawaguchi and the chairman would not have spread until now.
It can be seen that the firm does not want people to know about this relationship.
At this time, Yasuko Sawaguchi also saw her agent.
She handed the fruit to her assistant and greeted her happily.
"Kada Sando hasn't come to see me for a few days."
Sawaguchi Yasuko's kind appearance made Kada Tamako feel that although this child likes to enjoy a little and is a little less ambitious, at least his nature has not changed.
In fact, if you think about it, Tamako Kada can also understand Yasuko Sawaguchi's mentality.
is so pampered by Hanyu Hideki, asks for money for money, asks for a house for a house, and never stingy when buying things.
It's okay to meet this kind of man and enjoy it a little.
Even if it's her, the purpose of making money is not to live a better and easier life.
However, the guest was next to her, and Kada Tamako couldn't chat with Yasuko Sawaguchi, so she hurriedly made an introduction.
"Sawaguchi-san, this is the head of Fuji TV's animation division, Honko Sugiyama."
"Minister Sugiyama, this is Yasuko Sawaguchi."
Although Yasuko Sawaguchi didn't know why the other party was looking for her, she still greeted her politely.
"Minister Shishan, please take care of me when we meet for the first time."
"Miss Sawaguchi, I'm glad to see you."
As soon as the two of them finished greeting, the TV drama supervisor next to them followed.
"Minister Seshan, it's inconvenient for the crew to speak, so why don't you and Miss Sawaguchi go outside and talk."
"Mr. Superintendent, I still have a scene to shoot today." Yasuko Sawaguchi reminded.
Who wants to supervise doesn't care at all, and waves his hand, "It's okay, I'll just adjust it." ”
Tamako Kata, who was next to her, knew that the superintendent was giving face to Sugiyama Motoko.
She was afraid that Yasuko Sawaguchi would say the wrong thing, so she hurriedly thanked her, "Then thank you Mr. Overseer." ”
……
Ten minutes later, Tamako Yoshida took Yasuko Sawaguchi and Honko Sugiyama into a nearby coffee shop.
After ordering coffee, Sugiyama Motoko politely said a few words and sent an invitation to Yasuko Sawaguchi.
"Miss Sawaguchi, I'm working on a short animation, and there happens to be a female character who lacks a voice actor, and I want to invite Miss Sawaguchi to be the voice, I don't know if Miss Sawaguchi is willing."
Even newcomers like Yasuko Sawaguchi can see that Sugiyamamoto's purpose in seeing her is definitely not to invite her to be the voice actor.
She wants to live an easy and comfortable life, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.
Treat people politely in the crew and be serious about their work, so as not to cause trouble for Hanyu Hideki.
And keeping a distance from others is also for the sake of Hideki Hanyu.
After all, at a very young age, she knew the attractiveness of her looks to boys.
She didn't want to cause some men to have other associations because of the occasional politeness, and there were rumors that Hanyu Hideki misunderstood.
Therefore, after hearing Sugiyama's invitation, I realized that there might be other reasons behind the invitation.
Yasuko Sawaguchi's first reaction was to refuse.
"Minister Seyama, I'm very sorry, I'm going to shoot a TV series recently, I'm afraid I don't have time to participate in the dubbing."
She didn't want to cause Hideki Hanyu to return the favor because she promised anything at will.
"Miss Sawaguchi doesn't need to worry about this problem, I will communicate with the production bureau about the shooting time and ensure that you will not be delayed in shooting."
Sugiyama did not give up and continued to invite warmly.
Next to her, Tamako Kada was very satisfied with Yasuko Sawaguchi's refusal just now.
But seeing that Sugiyama didn't give up, knowing that Yasuko Sawaguchi couldn't cope with this matter, he took the initiative to speak.
"Minister Shishan, according to the rules of the office, we can't take the job privately, please let me communicate with the office first about the dubbing work."
"I see, I was presumptuous, I'm really sorry."
After Sugiyama apologized, he asked casually.
"It's been a long time since I've seen President Hanyu, and I heard that Koyi said that he went on a trip abroad, and I don't know when I will be able to come back, do you two know?"
The voice fell, and Sugiyama Motoko's gaze inadvertently swept over Sawaguchi's eyes.
As if trying to see something in those beautiful eyes.
"Minister Seiyama asked the wrong person, what does President Hanyu do, how can a little person like us know."
Kada Tamako said with a smile.
"Kada Sanneng is in charge of such an excellent artist as Miss Sawaguchi, how can she be a small person."
Sugiyama's meaning is obvious, he knows the relationship between Yasuko Sawaguchi and Hideki Hanyu.
However, the cloud film has already said hello to the painting, and it is necessary to suppress this matter.
Therefore, he did not want to break it.
Then the two sides chatted a few more words, and Kada Tamako left first with Yasuko Sawaguchi on the grounds that she still had a job.
And Honko Sugiyama, who was still smiling, looked at the back of the two of them leaving, with a serious expression.
Yasuko Sawaguchi was invited to dub the voice, and it was he who conveyed kindness to Hideki Hanyu.
Hideki Hanyu can definitely understand, but whether he accepts it or not, he doesn't know.
Since Fuji Television transferred the animation business to the animation division.
Without Hong Kong Haoyi as an intermediary, it has become difficult to cooperate with the cloud screening.
The theatrical version of "Magical Dim Sum Shop", as well as the second season of TV animation, are all because of the previous agreement, so they can continue to cooperate.
But regarding the cooperation in the third season, the cloud film has put forward very high cooperation conditions, and it has not been negotiated until now.
Seeing that the box office of the theatrical version of "Magic Dim Sum Shop" has exceeded 1.2 billion yen.
The board of directors put a lot of pressure on him to negotiate a follow-up collaboration before the second season of the TV anime aired.
And "Magical Snack Shop" is not the most troublesome.
has just finished the first season of broadcasting, and the ratings are even more exaggerated.
The cooperation of the second season of TV animation, but Asako Hirohashi didn't talk about it.
Seeing that Asahi, TBS, and Neon, the three competing TV stations have already taken action, even TV Tokyo has come to join in the fun.
The board of directors began to put pressure on him again.
In addition, Tuoma Gezi, who has been very popular recently.
Even the president, who has always supported him, is about to lose patience with him.
If we don't hurry up to negotiate cooperation, I'm afraid the president will have to let Minato Haoyi do this.
At that time, it is secondary to see the face of the villain of Hong Kong Hao.
The most important thing is that the rights he finally won for the animation division are likely to be taken back by the production bureau.
This result is simply unacceptable to Honko Sugiyama.
So Honko Sugiyama is very eager to meet with Hideki Hanyu.
Because he knew that if Hideki Hanyu intervened personally.
That Asako Hirohashi will definitely obey the order.
But the problem is that he and Hanyu Hideki just know each other, and they don't have any friendship.
This is the last resort to use Yasuko Sawaguchi to release kindness to Hideki Hanyu.
Otherwise, how could a young actor who is not famous be invited by him personally.
……
On the driving car, Tamako Kada praised Yasuko Sawaguchi, "Sawaguchi-san answered very well just now. ”
"Kada-san, should I tell Hanyu-kun what happened just now?"
"President Hanyu has returned from a trip?"
"No, the day before yesterday, Hanyu-kun called me and said that he was still in America."
"President Hanyu has been visiting for a long time this time, and the Aishu agent has already returned with Genki Girl and Akina Nakamori."
"yes, Hanyu-kun might want to play a little longer."
In fact, Yasuko Sawaguchi already knew that Hideki Hanyu was busy with work in America.
However, Hanyu Hideki doesn't want others to know, so of course she won't talk nonsense.
"Then when Hanyu-chan comes back, Sawaguchi-san will tell him what happened just now."
"I see." Yasuko Sawaguchi nodded, and then said to Tamako Kada with a smile.
"I heard from the assistant that Jiatian-san has obtained the qualification of the office to buy a house for welfare, and it seems that he will be able to visit Jiatian-san's new house soon."
"It's just luck, I happen to be on the list of the second batch of welfare buyers."
Kada Tamako said politely.
In fact, she understands very well that with her contribution to the firm, there is only one reason why she can get the qualification to buy a house with benefits, because she is Yasuko Sawaguchi's agent.
"What house is Kada-san going to buy? Is it built in a single house like the one I live in? ”
"I can't afford a house like Sawaguchi-san, so I'm going to buy an apartment in Nakano Ward with Aishu-san."
"It turns out that Kada-san is going to be neighbors with the Aizhou agent......"
The two chatted all the way, and instead of returning to the house in Chiyoda Ward, the car came to the training base of Cloud Performing Arts in Suginami Ward.
After Yasuko Sawaguchi got out of the car, she shook her hand at Kada Tamako, "Kada-san, goodbye." ”
"Do you need me to take you home?" Tamako Kada asked.
"No, I'll take a taxi home by myself after shopping with Sachiko-chan."
"Don't play too late, I have to work tomorrow."
"I see."
……
Saying goodbye to Tamako Kata, Yasuko Sawaguchi entered the training base, and she asked her former roommate Sachiko Kamaike to go shopping with her today.
Now she is in Tokyo, and she only has Sachiko Kamaike, a female friend.
When she found Sachiko Kamaike, who had just finished class, the other party asked her in surprise.
"Why did Sawaguchi-san come so early, isn't he filming?"
"Today, the work is over early, so I'll come to you first, let's go shopping next, where does Sachiko want to go?"
"How about going to Ginza, 2-chome has opened a new clothing store, the clothes are very good-looking, and the price is not expensive, and it is still endorsed by the three seniors of the Genki Girl."
"Sachiko is talking about Uniqlo, and I still have the membership card of that store."
Yasuko Sawaguchi's membership card was, of course, given by Hideki Hanyu.
"That's great, let's go."
"After shopping, let's go to eat sukiyaki together, and then let's go to my house at night."
"Nazawaguchi-san is going to help me ask Mr. Matsui for leave, otherwise I will have to come back in the evening."
"No problem, wrap it up on me."
……
Kyoto City, Nintendo's headquarters.
President's Office.
President Yamauchi Pu pinched a running Takuma Utako.
In front of Yamauchi Pu, stood the head of the third development department, Genhiro Takeda.
"Does Takeda-san know what this thing is?" Yamauchi asked,
Genyo Takeda replied, "Yes, it's the electronic pet of the elf entertainment company in Tokyo, and I saw its promotion at the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Show before." ”
"Have you seen the hardware structure?" Yamauchi asked.
"Yes."
"How long does it take to develop a third product to complete the same product, and to avoid the other party's patent."
"I'll be able to come up with a prototype in two months."
When Genyo Takeda said this, he couldn't help but remind.
"President, the hardware design of this electronic pet is not complicated, but the difficult thing is the content."
"With a sales volume of 7.7 million units in three weeks, young people's methods are really powerful, and the marketing methods are one ring after another, and it is not easy to reproduce them."
Yamauchi's eyes sharpened, "The most important thing for us now is the video game console, give up this little thing for the time being, you go and get busy." ”
"Yes." Genhiro Takeda said goodbye and left.
In the office left alone, Yamauchi's sharp gaze gradually dissipated, and he put down Takuma Geko.
This little thing reminded Yamauchi of the fact that he had made an exception and wanted to cooperate with Elf Entertainment in the game cartridge, but was rejected by the other party.
Although the level of hardware development is average, this game club that has not been established for a long time has characteristics common to new companies.
That's a constant flow of ideas.
Thinking of this, Yamauchi sighed softly.
It's a pity that it was discovered too late.
If it had been discovered earlier, Nintendo might have had the opportunity to bring Genie Entertainment under its command in the name of support.
However, for the sake of the FC host, Yamauchi Pu temporarily gave up the idea of following the trend of electronic pets.
But it doesn't mean that other manufacturers are willing to give up.
After all, the sales volume of 7.7 million units in three weeks exceeded 15 billion yen.
It's just eye-popping.
In addition, the hardware development of electronic pets is not difficult, and I don't know how many manufacturers follow the trend to develop electronic pets.
Powerful manufacturers will also deliberately avoid the patents and software content of Genie Entertainment and redesign.
But there are some small factories with no bottom line, which are basically one-to-one copycats.
When these copycat products are launched, it is the time for the still immature legal department of Genie Entertainment to really meet the challenge.
The big sales of electronic pets, waiting for elf entertainment, are not only from peer product competition.
Among my peers, there are many people who have the idea that 'if I kill the panda, I will be a national treasure'.
They feel that only if there is a problem with Tuoma Gezi, their products will have a chance to seize the market.
For a time, all kinds of unfavorable news about Takuma Geko appeared in the eyes of the public.
The public opinion attack on Takuma Utako began.
The main direction of public opinion attack is that students are addicted to negative news such as Takuma Geko and affecting their studies.
Faced with such a situation, Eri Kitahara was very calm.
It's not that she doesn't care.
But before the electronic pet was launched, when Hanyu Hideki asked for an anti-addiction system, he expected this situation.
Hanyu Hideki was of course predicted based on what happened to Takuma Utako in her previous life.
And in addition to making predictions, he also left a response plan for Eri Kitahara.
Therefore, Eri Kitahara did not call Hideki Hanyu for help, but immediately gathered his subordinates and arranged countermeasures.
Immediately after, she dialed the phone number of Asako Hirohashi's office again.
"President Hirohashi, I need help with the cloud screening......"
The next day, the public was surprised to find.
The public opinion attack on the electronic pet Tuoma Gezi is no longer visible in the mainstream print media.
On the contrary, in these media, there have been various toutings about the anti-addiction system of Tuoma Gezi.
Commentators said that Tuoma Gezi set up an anti-addiction system, completely sacrificing its own economic interests and assuming the social responsibility that should have been undertaken by the neon government, which is a great progress in electronic entertainment products.
By the way, the spearhead is aimed at the neon government, and there is a fierce attack.
Commentators believe that the neon government has lax control over electronics, arcade arcades are full of minors, and video game products are destroying how the next generation of neon is ......
Anyway, it is all kinds of alarmism to guide public opinion.
It's right to shift the public's focus and lash out at the neon government.
At the same time, an anti-addiction version of the Tuoma Gezi advertisement also appeared on the TV station.
Offline, Genie Entertainment spared no expense, bought many outdoor advertisements of Neon, and placed a large number of targeted advertisements focusing on promoting the anti-addiction system.
Regarding the previous public opinion attacks, Elf Entertainment did not answer positively at all.
They just need to keep stressing.
Our anti-addiction system designed for kids.
As for the effect?
It can only be said that Hideki Hanyu's career has not been in vain in the past few years.
With the perennial media resources of cloud screening, the backhand will extinguish unfavorable public opinion.
Then we will use our strength to guide public opinion and turn harm into benefit.
The anti-addiction system designed for electronic pets makes targeted advertising have a practical force.
In this way, a fierce and seemingly sinister public opinion attack.
It didn't have an impact on Takuma Geko.
Instead, the means that Hanyu Hideki had prepared came in handy.
It is also the fourth week of sales that helped Tuoma Gezi, and did not continue to decline sharply.
"Hanyu-san, judging from the shipments, due to the impact of this public opinion turmoil, our sales decline is even lower than expected."
In the transatlantic phone call, Eri Kitahara reported to Hideki Hanyu because of the impact on sales caused by the previous public opinion attack turmoil.
But immediately after, Eri Kitahara said in a regretful tone.
"Even if the decline is lower than expected, our sales in the first month will not exceed 10 million, and the output in the Datian area cannot keep up, and the boss of the foundry said that the workers are too tired to work overtime, even if they are paid overtime."
"Kitahara-san, we can have the current sales because of the outbreak after a series of publicity and marketing accumulation, which has far exceeded expectations, and we should be content, not greedy."
After a few words of persuasion, Hideki Hanyu did not forget to remind, "Public opinion attack is only the first step, I estimate that there will be plagiarized products on the market soon, so that the legal department can prepare." ”
"Hanyu-san rest assured, I have already prepared, and I have also seconded personnel to Miyahira Law Firm, and lawyer Asako Iwahashi, who I worked with before, personally led the team."
"Since Kitahara-san is prepared, I'm relieved." Hideki Hanyu said.
"Hanyu-san, since this kind of public opinion attack has happened in Neon, you have asked Amerika to be prepared as well."
Hearing Eri Kitahara's advice, Hideki Hanyu laughed and said.
"Kitahara-san, don't worry, America won't have this kind of problem, and the electronic pets listed here don't need an anti-addiction system at all."
Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, people will directly develop "flavored leaves" and sell them to children in the future.
He's selling electronics for nothing.
Not to mention that no one cares if children are addicted to electronics or not.
If someone dares to talk about this, he will dare to spend money to incite public opinion.
It is said that those people have ulterior motives to destroy the "freedom" of children to enjoy a happy childhood.
