Chapter 200: The work that takes "Elf Cute" one step further

Eri Kitahara's words surprised Hideki Hanyu a little.

"Sega is looking for us to work with?"

Hideki Hanyu wondered if his actions in America had been discovered by Sega.

But there's no reason?

In order not to attract the attention of other manufacturers in advance.

The America R&D Center, which is developing handhelds and consoles, is highly confidential.

The neon employees who went to the America R&D center, except for Satoshi Iwata and Tetsuya Aragaki.

Others are also only involved in the hardware development of electronic pets.

Even Eri Kitahara only knew that Americaka's R&D center was developing electronic pets.

Hideki Hanyu asked curiously, "What does Sega want to cooperate with us?" ”

"Sega agreed to purchase our gaming substrates for their arcade game store and sell them through their overseas channels, subject to an exclusive agreement between Genie Entertainment and Sega's TV consoles."

Eri Kitahara explained.

From the tone of voice, it can be heard that she is obviously a little moved, and she is already thinking about it.

Compared to Nintendo's TV console that has not yet been launched.

Sega's substrate procurement is a big order that is really in front of us.

The three arcade games "Mario Bros.", "Kung Fu", and "Ice Cube Knocking" that are on sale by Genie Entertainment are now very popular in Neon.

Once it can enter Sega's arcade halls, it will even be sold overseas through Sega's channels.

That's tens of billions of sales.

What operator can resist this temptation.

It's no wonder that Eri Kitahara will be tempted.

After all, not everyone is Hideki Hanyu, and I can see the development trend of arcade games in the future.

And after hearing Eiri Kitahara's words, Hideki Hanyu had only one thought, that is, Sega must be thinking about the first generation of eight-bit machines.

Otherwise, you won't plan an exclusive game in advance.

Hayao Nakayama is worthy of being inseparable from Nintendo with Sega in the 80s.

It's so long-term.

It seems that the game development ability of Elf Entertainment has not only attracted the attention of Nintendo, but also Sega.

It's a pity that Hanyu Hideki's game of elf entertainment has already been arranged.

They will all be important weapons for the elf entertainment host to attack the city, how can it be handed over to others.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki said without hesitation, "Refuse." ”

Seeing that Eri Kitahara wanted to say something, Hideki Hanyu just said, "After next week, I'm going to go to America, Kitahara-san will arrange work and go with me." ”

"Okay."

Eri Kitahara understands that since Hideki Hanyu has said so, she will definitely not change her mind, and it is useless for her to say anything.

"Is there anything else going on with Kitahara-san?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"What's important, it's that Elf Cute's supplement Elf Cupid has been prepared, and Hanyu-san would be better off looking at it if he has time."

"I see."

Next, Hideki Hanyu and the two briefly chatted about other work in the club, and then sent the two away.

However, before leaving, both of them left recent work reports.

Hideki Hanyu looked through it carefully.

On the cloud screen, it is mainly the progress of several projects.

For example, Takeshi Kitano took the crew of Kikujiro's story to Shizuoka for filming.

For example, the second season of the TV animation "Magical Snack Shop" is scheduled for June 6.

And the work report of the cloud culture.

The first is Takashi Nishiyama, the producer of "The King of Fighters" in his previous life, who has led the team to join Elf Entertainment and officially become the head of the sacred studio.

The other party is integrating the team into the sacred studio and preparing for the development of the second generation of "Kung Fu".

In addition to Takashi Nishiyama, Eri Kitahara has been following his instructions and taking advantage of the current bad market to recruit various talents.

In addition, there is the plan to build a nearby toy factory in Sendai City, and the purchase of land and bank loans have been almost processed.

As soon as the design of the plant is completed, construction can begin.

……

Hideki Hanyu looked at the work report one by one.

When he looked up after reading all the papers, he found that it was dark outside the window.

"I said I wanted to have a good rest, but I accidentally got busy for another day."

Hideki Hanyu looked helpless.

But it's not okay to be a shopkeeper all the time, and you still have to care about it.

At the very least, make sure that the business is not moving in an unplanned direction.

turned his head to look for Koizumi Kyoko, only to find that the little goblin had fallen asleep on the sofa at some point.

Thinking that the other party was with him and hadn't eaten all afternoon, he stepped forward to wake him up.

Koizumi Kyoko rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Is the teacher busy?" ”

"I'm done, I haven't eaten yet, let's go out for a bite to eat."

"I want to eat Western food."

"No problem, I know an Italian restaurant that tastes good."

Hideki Hanyu knows that what the leprechauns like is not Western food, but the high style that today's neon people yearn for.

As long as you eat Western food in a foreign restaurant, it seems that your taste has become higher.

Thinking of some memories in his mind, Hideki Hanyu sighed that history is really a circle.

Take Kyoko Koizumi to the parking lot of the apartment.

Hideki Hanyu, who asked the bodyguard to leave work early because of the break, could only drive in person.

Looking at the red BMW that he hadn't driven for a long time, Hideki Hanyu was full of disgust.

Always said to buy a new car.

As a result, I have been forgetting.

He turned his head and asked Koizumi Kyoko, "Does Kyoko have a job tomorrow?" ”

Kyoko Koizumi nodded and said, "I'm going to participate in the program on TBS TV in the evening." ”

"Then if it's okay during the day, accompany me to buy a car."

"Buying a car?" Koizumi's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly agreed, "No problem." ”

"Then tomorrow you will accompany me to the cloud culture in Shinagawa Ward, and then we will go to buy a car together."

"No problem."

……

Following.

Yesterday's gloomy and rainy weather suddenly cleared up.

Look out the window at the bright sunshine.

Koizumi got up early this morning and was in the cloakroom preparing to go out.

This cloakroom, which occupies an entire room, was never full at all when Hanyu Hideki lived alone.

But since Kyoko Koizumi moved into the apartment, the clothes in the cloakroom have been increasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

At first, the goblin was cautious about buying things, worried that Hanyu Hideki would think she was spending money indiscriminately.

But after a few temptations, he found that Hanyu Hideki didn't take this little money to heart at all, so he gradually became bolder.

Now in the neon luxury clothing stores, Koizumi Kyoko is already a key VIP customer.

She doesn't need to go to the store in person, as long as there is a new product on the market, there will be a service staff to introduce, try on and customize.

Looking at the room full of luxuries, Koizumi Kyoko looked satisfied and intoxicated.

Some people may disagree with her concept.

But Kyoko Koizumi doesn't mind at all, because that's the life she wants.

And she deeply understood that she left Hanyu Hideki.

With her own income, she simply cannot afford to sustain this life.

And in her opinion, Hanyu Hideki is simply a perfect man.

Good looks, good figure, and talented.

Gentle with her, not stingy, not even verbal violence.

I don't see a bit of the traditional and stereotypical machismo character of the neon man.

If at first she was just in it for the money.

Now being Hanyu Hideki's lover, but she is willing.

She doesn't know what love is.

But she knew she was willing to do anything for Hideki Hanyu.

No matter what happens, she won't leave Hideki Hanyu.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu walked to the cloakroom and asked.

"Haven't you changed yet?"

Hanyu Hideki only felt that women were all the same, from makeup to choosing clothes before going out, it was not over for an hour or two.

The two of them got up together, and he cleaned up and watched TV outside for a while

But this little goblin isn't done yet.

"Teacher, how does this look?"

Kyoko Koizumi came out of the cloakroom.

I saw that he was wearing a red long dress, with square mules, and a LV handbag in his hand.

A white sunhat with a pink ribbon is worn on the head.

There are big sunglasses of unknown brand hanging on his face, covering half of his face.

Hideki Hanyu looked up and down and commented.

"The skirt and shoes go well together, and the hat and sunglasses are also well chosen, this look suits your temperament very well."

Hideki Hanyu actually hasn't said a word.

That's how you dress up, and the camouflage effect is also very good, and it is easy for no one to recognize it.

But at this time, women don't want to hear that.

You just need to compliment it on how good it looks.

"Really?"

Kyoko Koizumi was praised and was very happy.

Walking in front of Hanyu Hideki and taking a turn, the red skirt was gently raised, youthful and delicate.

"My beauty, can we go out?"

"Of course, my teacher."

"Don't forget what to call when you go out."

"Of course I do, Hanyu-sensei."

"Just remember."

……

Getting into Marco's car, Hideki Hanyu went to the Cloud Culture Headquarters in Shinagawa Ward.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw many young people queuing up to enter the gate.

Each of them was still holding various forms in their hands.

"Old ...... Hanyu-sensei, what are they doing? "Koizumi almost made a mistake today, but fortunately, he reacted quickly.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he thought to himself that the little goblin had asked the wrong person, how could he know everything if he was a shopkeeper.

So he shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, a female employee he knew came out of it with a stack of forms and was about to hand them out to the party.

Suddenly found Hanyu Hideki standing outside, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and say hello.

"Good morning, President Hanyu."

"You're Xiaoyanagi-san." Hideki Hanyu has a rare impression of this employee.

"Yes, President, I'm Miko Koyanagi of the Personnel Department."

"Koyanagi-san, what do they do?" Hideki Hanyu asked, pointing to the people in line.

"President, they're the ones who came to apply."

After Miko Koyanagi finished speaking, she explained in detail.

"Today is a recruitment day for the R&D department of Genie Entertainment Software."

"I see, you go get busy."

"Yes, President."

Hanyu Hideki saw that the applicants had already begun to pay attention to them, and he didn't want to stay here longer, so he took Koizumi and walked inside.

He was dressed casually today, with slacks and a polo shirt, and he didn't wear glasses to hide it.

So it didn't take a few steps for someone to recognize him.

It immediately caused a lot of discussion.

But for these game technicians, Hideki Hanyu is a writer, a composer, or an entrepreneur.

None of them are as dazzling as animatronic pets, as well as the creative designers of several games.

As the designer of the first fighting game "Kung Fu", as well as the reeling game "Knock on the Ice".

In the eyes of these game practitioners, Hideki Hanyu can also be regarded as a god-level figure.

It's just that Hideki Hanyu has always been low-key, and the external publicity has only pushed a few studios and people in charge to the forefront.

Ordinary people rarely pay attention to the list of those production personnel after the game is cleared.

So few people know about Hideki Hanyu's contribution to these games.

"They seem to be talking about Hanyu-sensei."

Seeing that many people in the team looked inexplicably excited after discovering Hideki Hanyu, Koizumi Kyoko was a little strange.

Listening to what those people said, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Hideki Hanyu's identity as a writer.

Instead, I've been talking about Mario, kung fu and stuff like that.

"Leave them alone."

Hideki Hanyu took Kyoko Koizumi into the office building and pointed in the direction of the rest area.

"I'll take you to the rest area, there are a lot of fun things there, and there are games developed by Elf Entertainment that haven't been released, I'm going to work, you wait for me there first."

"I don't want to, I want to be with Hanyu-sensei."

Koizumi pouted and tugged at Hideki Hanyu's arm to be coquettish.

Hanyu Hideki thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can go in without disguise, but don't disturb my work." ”

"Don't worry, I won't mess with Hanyu-sensei." Koizumi said happily.

Hideki Hanyu didn't go to Eri Kitahara, but went to the Elf Publishing House on the first floor first.

Eri Kitahara said that the supplement of "Elf Cute" is ready.

Then he'll take a look first.

Entering the publishing house, in the greetings of the president along the way, he found the editor-in-chief Otaka Ichiji, who was busier than before.

Why "Elf Cute" is driven by the hot sales of Takuma Gezi, and the circulation has stabilized at about 700,000 copies.

And the circulation of each issue is rising slightly.

Editor-in-chief Odaka Ichiji is still so busy?

Of course, there are more people reading it, the attention is higher, and the readers' requirements for the magazine are more stringent.

Publishers want to maintain standards and stabilize sales, and the pressure naturally increases.

Although the cloud culture does not have high requirements for the profitability of "Elf Cute".

From beginning to end, the positioning is a supplementary promotion to the Genie Entertainment game.

After all, the retail price of a 500-page manga magazine is only 240 yen.

It's really hard to make money selling magazines.

According to the current sales of "Elf Cute" of 700,000, after deducting printing, sales, and remuneration paid to cartoonists, it is only barely keeping the capital.

Can be Odaka Ichiji as an aspiring editor-in-chief.

I didn't want to do a comic magazine that complemented the game.

is also unwilling to accept that the circulation of "Elf Cute" is just enough to protect the capital.

That's why he worked hard, carefully reviewing the comics, and patiently listening to readers' feedback to make Elf Cute even better.

Make this magazine, like "Weekly Shonen Sunday" and "Weekly Shonen Jump", be as successful.

When that day came.

"Elf Cute" will no longer be an affiliate of Elf Entertainment, but an upstream source of creativity for Elf Entertainment.

In recent reader feedback, Odaka Ichiji found that the reader's feedback of one manga rose very quickly.

This manga is the "PokΓ©mon" given to him by Hideki Hanyu.

For some reason, Dataka City II has a hunch.

This manga, which has not yet been developed into a game by Genie Entertainment, has a lot of potential.

Most likely, it will be the work that will help "Elf Cute" go further.

Thank you for the tip

It's a little busy, it's eight o'clock when I get home, sorry, it's only four thousand today
