The issue of retail pricing is only one part of all the preparations before the PS console goes on sale.

As for the shipping price of Elf Entertainment, that is for each retailer to negotiate separately with Elf Entertainment.

But in general, the profit margins are very meager, especially with the contracts with large supermarkets such as Walmart and Best Buy.

Remove the cost, freight, and the proportion borne by the marketing link, or even make no dime, and finally have to post a few dollars upside down.

In this era, after the host is listed, it is actually normal to sell the host at a loss.

Even with the expansion of the production scale of the main engine, the cost of accessories is reduced, and the profit is generated.

OEMs will not pursue profits at the first time, but use various activities to reduce prices, try to keep the price of the host as low as possible, and take the initiative to discount money for market share.

There is only one reason for this phenomenon, and that is that people don't plan to make money from consoles at all, but by selling games to make money.

In the original time and space, Nintendo and Sega fought a "console war" despite the popularity of the bayonet killed by the console.

But on the game cartridge, these two companies have a tacit understanding and no one is playing a price war.

Nintendo's game cartridges are sold for $50 at America.

The Sega MD game cartridge is hovering around $60.

By the end of the console wars, console prices had slipped to around $100.

At that time, two cassettes could buy a console.

And the profit of a cassette can even be compared to selling several hosts.

So for game manufacturers.

You can make money from the royalties of the game, platform commissions, production costs, peripheral sales and other channels.

Selling hosts is just to pave the way for more profitable channels.

Get acquainted with it.

That's how the Internet played in later generations.

Everyone ended up together, first spent money on market share, and when the market share came up, the peers were swept to death, and naturally there were ways to make money.

This is also the reason why the Sega console sold well in the end, but it just couldn't beat Nintendo and Sony.

There are too few first-party self-developed games, and sales are too low.

However, there is a lack of third-party support, so how can you win by only selling the host.

Fortunately, Hideki Hanyu laid out early with foresight.

The library of self-developed games is extremely powerful.

In a short period of time, even without the support of a third party, Genie Entertainment's games are enough to support player consumption.

Of course, the consequences of eating alone are serious, and Hideki Hanyu won't do it.

According to the sales of the Pokeball 2 handheld, the total sales in America alone have exceeded 4.7 million units.

And according to the leaderboard of the American version of "Game Base".

The best-selling game on the America Pokeball 2 platform is Tetromino, or Tetris, with sales almost equal to handheld sales.

The second-ranked Pokémon Red/Green sold more than three million.

Of course, these two games were able to reach this number because of the relationship with handheld bundles.

But look at Super Mario Bros., which is number three.

Launched in December last year, it has already sold more than 2.9 million copies without any bundles.

Almost a million sales in a month.

The selling price of a single cartridge is $49.

A single game helped Genie Entertainment generate $140 million in sales.

Combined, the three games are more than twice as profitable as handhelds.

In this case, the most important thing that the sales department thinks about every day is to engage in activities that can lower the price of the Pokeball 2 handheld.

So don't look at the Pokeball 2 handheld at $129.

But under normal circumstances, there will be various discounts, and you can basically buy it for about 100 dollars.

So it's no wonder why the sales department doesn't want the PS console to be too expensive.

And even $229 is only temporary.

Once the price war begins on the market of competing products, I am afraid that the price of PS consoles will also fall.

Selling the host, the fear is not that you will lose money, but that you will sell too little.

The headquarters and division of Genie Entertainment, so many games in the game library, plus the support of third parties, this is a gold mine that can continue to be mined.

How much money can you make selling a console?

In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a week since Hideki Hanyu arrived in America.

On this day, because the company has no work to deal with him.

Hideki Hanyu stayed at the hotel and learned about the neon situation over the phone.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Marko's voice rang out.

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he hung up the phone, opened the door and asked Marko.

"Is it Boeing's guys?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

The reason he asked this was because he had finally made up his mind to customize a business jet.

With the increasing frequency of work between the two places, coupled with personal needs, it is indeed much more convenient to have a private jet.

Therefore, he contacted Boeing Aircraft, and after communicating with Boeing, Boeing decided to arrange a special person to provide consulting services today.

After all, as long as the negotiation is completed, it is a large order of hundreds of millions of dollars, and this service is actually nothing.

Who wants Marco to deny, "No, there are a few guests who want to visit the boss, but they haven't made an appointment before." ”

"Who is it?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"The first to come was Mr. Eiichi Jimbo, followed by Ms. Nadia's daughter and niece, and a strange young man."

Marco replied.

"It's really lively, let the hotel help me arrange a room reception, you take them first, I'll be there right away."

"Yes, boss."

After Marco said goodbye and left, Hideki Hanyu changed into a simple casual outfit and walked downstairs.

I came to a small conference room.

Glancing at the people sitting in the conference room, his expression was a little strange.

The closest to him were old acquaintances who helped him short Warner Communications and Eiichi Kamibo, who was trading Nintendo stock.

After making Nintendo's money, Eiichi Kamibo got hundreds of millions of rewards.

Since Hideki Hanyu didn't have any good investment plans at the time, he really had nothing to do at Hanyu Investment, so he quit his job and ran out on his own.

It is said that he went to the international futures market to toss.

I remember when I said goodbye, this guy was in a suit and leather shoes, his spirit was flying, and he looked full of confidence and wanted to make a fortune.

But now.

He was wearing a white shirt, no tie, wrinkled, dirty, and he hadn't changed for a long time.

His hair was messy, his expression was haggard, his expression was sluggish, and he was having a bad time at first glance.

There is no need to guess, it must have lost miserably in the international futures market.

Sure enough.

Before Hideki Hanyu came in and could speak, this guy put on a sad face first.

"Boss, I'm here to take refuge in you."

Hanyu Hideki was a little surprised, "With so much money, you shouldn't have lost it all, right?" ”

Eiichi Kamiho smiled bitterly, "The last bit of money is used to buy a plane ticket." ”

Hanyu Hideki didn't say anything to persuade you at the beginning, you have to listen to such unnutritious words.

Just say, "Go take a shower first, then change your clothes, and talk about it later." ”

Then he instructed Marco, "Send someone to take him to check in." ”

Then he turned to look at the other three.

The leader is Monica Bellucci, who was a female companion in New York for a few days.

The other party seems to have been a little reborn because of the trip to New York.

The red long skirt, high heels, and black silk with suspenders perfectly highlight the advantage of the figure.

Coupled with the big burgundy waves, exquisite and glamorous makeup.

The simple Italian girl disappeared completely.

Completely became an eye-catching glamorous girl.

is getting closer and closer to the "ball flower" of later generations.

is also twenty years old, and the peak version of the "ball flower" is good-looking.

Next to Monica Bellucci, there was also a man and a woman.

The female Hanyu Hideki knows that it is Nadia's daughter Federica.

As for the man, he was a young white man in his thirties.

Looking at his intimacy with Federica, Bacheng is the Wall Street boyfriend in Nadia's mouth.

However, the other party was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and long hair.

Plus that face that resembles Christian Bale.

It's hard for Hanyu to connect him with people on Wall Street.

Instead, he looks like a member of a rock band.

Monica Bellucci saw Hideki Hanyu looking over, and didn't wait for him to ask, so she took the initiative to get up.

"Mr. Hanyu, I'm here because you need to confirm some of the materials in the construction of the house."

Hideki Hanyu asked, "Why didn't you call me ahead of time?" ”

Monica Bellucci thought to herself, I finally seized the opportunity to come and make a phone call.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his cousin and her boyfriend beside him, as well as the raunchy Eichi Kamibo not far away.

She also felt that the timing did not seem to be very good this time.

And when Hanyu Hideki questioned her, the tone without any sense of intimacy made a certain expectation in her heart feel shattered in an instant.

But at this moment, behind Hideki Hanyu.

Marco, who arranged for his subordinates to help Shen Baoying check in, came back and closed the door of the conference room.

It seemed to be using a bit of force, and the sound of the door closing was loud, which immediately caught Monica Bellucci's attention.

After she came today, she didn't see Hideki Hanyu's female assistant.

Only this cold-looking, "clumsy" bodyguard.

Perhaps, new opportunities can be found here.

"Sorry, I didn't have time to call because it happened suddenly."

Monica Bellucci was apologetic.

After questioning Monica Bellucci, Hideki Hanyu looked at Federica and her boyfriend next to her.

"What is the matter with Miss Federica coming to me?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

He had only met each other a few times, and had never spoken to each other except for his relationship with his mother, Nadia.

The other party suddenly came to the door with his boyfriend, if it weren't for Nadia's face, Hanyu Hideki wouldn't even pay attention.

"Mr. Hanyu, I'm sorry to bother me, but please let me introduce me, this is my boyfriend Billy Lynn, his ...... on Wall Street now"

Seeing that Federica was about to introduce her boyfriend to him.

Hanyu Hideki unceremoniously raised his hand to interrupt, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your boyfriend's career. ”

Federica brought a boyfriend who worked in an investment bank on Wall Street to him, the 'rich man'.

Hideki Hanyu is not a fool, and he can guess what the other party wants to do just by listening to the beginning.

It's nothing more than fancy his "money".

Federica fell in love with this guy because of his "talent" or his appearance that resembled Bell.

But for Hideki Hanyu, what does it have to do with him.

The only thing that interests this Wall Street "elite" is that name.

Billy Lynn, the protagonist of a movie with the later Chinese director Ang Lee, has the same name.

Hanyu's voice fell, and Billy Lynn, who resembled a rock singer, didn't seem to want to give up.

He said to Hideki Hanyu in a very graceful manner, "Mr. Hanyu, I have a few good projects in my hands right now, and if you are willing to listen to my introduction, you will definitely be interested." ”

But Hanyu Hideki didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and turned to Marco and said, "Send off." ”

"Sir, please ......"

Marco coldly held out his hand to Federica and Billy Lynn.

Federica seemed to want to say something, but Billy Lynn on the side stopped his girlfriend.

Because he understands that for a rich man like Hideki Hanyu, the opinion of a small person like him does not matter at all.

The reason why he came today is also because the project he is in charge of has gone wrong, and he learns that Federica's mother is serving a rich man like Hideki Hanyu.

So let's try our luck.

Of course, it would be good to be able to succeed, and perhaps with the help of Hanyu Hideki's financial resources, he could tide over the difficulties.

If it doesn't work, you can't risk offending a rich man and fight to the death.

After all, he works on Wall Street, but he deeply understands what kind of power money has in this country.

"Mr. Hanyu, I'm sorry to bother you."

After Billy Lynn apologized, he left with his girlfriend.

Except for the initial inquiry, Hanyu Hideki didn't plan to say anything to the two of them at all.

He hates people who don't have a sense of boundaries.

After Federica and Billy Lynn left the conference room, Hideki Hanyu looked at Monica Bellucci with cold eyes.

"You brought them?"

Seeing Hanyu Hideki such an attitude for the first time, Monica Bellucci panicked and immediately shook her head to explain.

"I also met them at the hotel, and my cousin hasn't been home for a long time."

Hideki Hanyu held out his hand, "Show me the documents." ”

Monica Bellucci hurriedly handed over the papers.

Hanyu had just taken the document and looked through a few lines when Marco, who had returned, whispered to him, "Boeing's people have arrived." ”

"Ask them to come here."

After Hanyu finished speaking, he continued to look through the documents.

But before he could finish reading, Marco had already come in with Boeing's guys.

Hideki Hanyu could only stop looking at the documents for the time being and communicate with Boeing's staff first.

A total of three Boeing staff members came to the trip in order to provide a full range of consulting services to Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu did not take the initiative to ask Monica Bellucci to leave.

Monica Bellucci also pretended to be confused, and stayed in the conference room without leaving under the pretext that Hideki Hanyu had not signed the document.

And as Hideki Hanyu and the Boeing people began to talk, Monica Bellucci also made a cameo appearance as a secretary very sensibly.

Helping to serve coffee, handing documents, and providing extremely thoughtful service are undoubtedly much better than that of the professional bodyguard Marko.

Seeing this, Hideki Hanyu felt that it would be good to have someone to help, so he didn't force Monica Bellucci to leave.

After all, buying a private jet is not something to be seen for.

And the people at Boeing don't know Monica Bellucci's identity, and they don't have any other ideas than that they think Hideki Hanyu's secretary is really beautiful.

"Mr. Hanyu, after understanding your needs, I don't think you need to choose a large four-engine wide-body long-range airliner like the 747."

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Hanyu said, taking a sip of the tea that Monica Bellucci had sipped.

"I think the 767 is a twin-engine mid-size airliner that is completely sufficient, after all, as a business jet, most of the time you fly alone, the 747 is still too wasteful of space."

Hearing Boeing mention the 767 aircraft, Hideki Hanyu instinctively whispered.

"Boeing 767, the largest heavy cruise missile in human history?"

It's no wonder that Hideki Hanyu would think of this.

It's really the Boeing 767 that performs too well in the 911.

Destroy two giant fortresses in one sortie, killing more than 2,900 people and wounding more than 6,200.

"What did Mr. Hanyu say?" Boeing's representatives didn't hear Hideki Hanyu.

"It's nothing, it's just that I remember the range of the 767, it doesn't seem like enough to fly over the Pacific Ocean, right?"

"Mr. Hanyu was worried about this problem, but just yesterday, we successfully delivered and completed the first flight of a 767-200ER customized for EL AL, which is a long-range aircraft with increased fuel load capacity that can fully meet Mr. Hanyu's needs."

"Let me think about it."

I have to say that Hideki Hanyu was moved.

If you choose the Boeing 747, the price of the aircraft plus customization, even in the 80s, will definitely exceed 200 million dollars.

But if you choose 767, you may be able to get it for about 100 million dollars.

If the operation and maintenance costs are included, the comprehensive cost per hour of flight is also nearly one-third cheaper than that of the 747.

So much money is a lot of money for him.

How many cassettes do you have to sell to earn it back.

Besides, in memory, the 767 has always ranked in the top three positions of all aircraft safety lists.

Although it has a strong record as a heavy cruise missile.

But he wouldn't really use a private jet as a cruise missile.

"Then can you tell me some details about this aircraft, and if you want to customize a business jet, what can Boeing provide me?"

Hideki Hanyu said this.

The staff at Boeing knew that Hideki Hanyu was moved.

The three of them began to introduce Hanyu Hideki in detail to the situation of the aircraft, as well as detailed customization services.

Even the post-delivery procedures and pilot introduction services can be handled on your behalf.

In a word, as long as Hideki Hanyu pays for it, there is nothing Boeing can't do in the plane alone.

And Hideki Hanyu and Boeing's people consulted.

Next to him, Marco still looks like an ancient well.

But Monica Bellucci, who played a cameo role as secretary, is a little uneasy.

On the surface, she stood quietly next to Hideki Hanyu.

But when it came to hearing that Hideki Hanyu actually had to spend a huge amount of money to customize a private jet.

Her eyes were full of brilliance.

In my heart, I was surprised, envious, longing...... All kinds of emotions are almost irrepressible.

Breakfast in Italy in the morning, take a private jet to France for shopping at noon, and take a private jet to a private island in the Caribbean in the evening.

That's the life she wants.

Almost two hours later, Hideki Hanyu and Boeing's staff reached a preliminary consensus.

Next, Boeing will arrange for Hideki Hanyu to conduct a trial flight of the 767.

If this step is satisfactory, the two parties can sign a letter of intent, and Hanyu will pay a goodwill money to Boeing.

Boeing would then complete the design of the private jet according to Hanyu's requirements.

If Hideki Hanyu is not satisfied with the design, Boeing will make further modifications.

If Hanyu is not satisfied, Boeing will return the intention money and only charge for related services, such as test flights.

But if Hanyu is satisfied with the design, the two parties can sign a formal contract, pay a deposit, and start building the aircraft.

Once the plane is built, the test flight and all the inspections are completed, Boeing will help Hanyu with the flight documents for each country.

After all the formalities were taken care of, the plane was officially delivered, Hideki Hanyu paid the full amount, and the purchase was completed.

The whole process takes between nine months and a year.

However, Boeing's representative said that because of the ongoing partnership with EL AL, the 767-200ER is produced in sufficient quantities to provide additional service in the queue.

As long as Hideki Hanyu pays a little more for cutting in line, Boeing promises to let Hideki Hanyu fly on his private jet before the end of the year.

The cost of cutting in line is not much, hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After thinking about it, Hanyu said that as long as Boeing's design met his requirements, the queue cut fee was not a problem.

"Mr. Hanyu, please rest assured that Boeing's service will definitely satisfy you, please be patient, we will arrange a test flight experience within a week."

Seeing that there is a high possibility that the order will be negotiated, the Boeing staff is quite enthusiastic.

"Okay, I'll wait for Boeing's notification at any time."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he said goodbye to the people on the Boeing plane, and arranged for Marco to send them away by the way.

After Marco and Boeing's employees left, Hideki Hanyu looked at Monica Bellucci, who had been a guest secretary.

"Thank you Miss Monica just now."

No matter why this woman wants to help him, but if you help, you will help, and you should say thank you.

There is no assistant with you, which is really inconvenient in some cases.

After all, Marco is a professional bodyguard, and these details of the service are still a little inappropriate.

"Mr. Hanyu is welcome, if that Miss Ishihara was here before, he wouldn't need my help at all."

Monica Bellucci said these words just to test why Tomoe Ishihara was not here today.

But what she didn't expect was that Hanyu Hideki didn't mean to chat with her at all.

Just said, "That's exactly what it looks like." ”

Then I continued to pick up the unfinished document and read it.

After a few moments, Hideki Hanyu seemed to think that the document was fine, and after happily signing his name, he returned it.

By the way, he also said the words of the send-off, "Trouble Miss Monica." ”

After seeing that Hideki Hanyu finished speaking, he got up and was about to leave.

Monica Bellucci was immediately anxious, and she didn't care about testing anything, so she asked directly.

"Didn't Mr. Hanyu's assistant come with him this time?"

Hideki Hanyu felt that Monica Bellucci's question was somewhat abrupt.

But he still replied casually, "Ishihara was left by me to work in Neon." ”

After saying that, he said to Monica Bellucci, "If Miss Monica is okay, I will take my leave." ”

Who would have thought that Monica Bellucci immediately said, "I have something." ”

"Uh......"

Hanyu Hideki is just to be polite, who thinks that the other party is really something.

"Please."

"Since Mr. Hanyu came to America without a secretary this time, I would like to recommend myself to be Mr. Hanyu's secretary."

Monica Bellucci spoke her mind.

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu has always kept her distance, Monica Bellucci understands that if she wants to take the relationship further, she must first be able to get close to Hideki Hanyu.

And what could be more intimate than working as a secretary.

To some extent, this position has been in contact with the boss for longer than the boss's family.

And Monica Bellucci's words really made Hanyu Hideki a little unexpected.

"Isn't Miss Monica working for Ms. Nadia?"

"It's just an errand job, and my aunt can find someone else to do it, but the opportunity to learn from Mr. Hanyu is not always available."

Monica Bellucci is unabashedly flattering.

"I'm sorry, but I don't mind my academic qualifications, but I don't want to find an employee who will leave at any time, so Miss Monica should continue to study in Italy."

Hanyu thought to himself that he did lack a secretary in America, but he didn't plan to find a temporary job.

"Isn't it common in America that I can take a leave of absence as long as I have a job offer?"

Monica Bellucci still doesn't give up.

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he wanted to complain.

Did Monica Bellucci read a tabloid about Bill Gates's "legendary" entrepreneurial story?

Seeing that Hideki Hanyu didn't agree, Monica Bellucci still didn't want to give up.

Sky-high private jets, luxury properties under construction, and the good life you've always dreamed of.

All of this is stimulating Monica Bellucci.

She asked directly, "What does Hanyu-san think of my performance just now?" ”

"Not bad." Hideki Hanyu replied truthfully.

When I was talking to Boeing employees just now, Monica Bellucci did a really good job.

The service is just right, and I know how to measure it, and I don't show myself too much.

"Since Mr. Hanyu is very satisfied with my job, can you give me an internship as your secretary?"

Monica Bellucci pleaded.

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he didn't refuse at the first time, but thought about it first.

After leaving Tomoe Ishihara in Neon, there was no one around to help, which was indeed a little inconvenient.

Marco is, after all, a bodyguard, not a professional secretary.

And whether it's Reiko Uemura or Tomoe Ishihara, they're also better at dealing with neon work.

With more and more business in Europe and the United States, it is also necessary to consider having a secretary here.

Can help him with his entourage and also act as a liaison for America.

Monica Bellucci really doesn't have any problems just looking at her work ability.

The most important thing is that this is a "ball flower".

Even if the work ability is a little worse, it is very face-saving to put it around and take it out to talk about work.

Beauty, no matter where she is, has an advantage.

With that in mind, he looked at Monica Bellucci.

"I can give you an internship, but you have to deal with Ms. Nadia first.

The internship lasts for the whole summer, and if you pass it, you can stay, but if you don't, you can go back to Italy to complete your studies. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Hanyu, please rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you."

Monica Bellucci said excitedly.

In her mind, this first step towards Hideki Hanyu was finally completed.

"Miss Monica, when you have taken care of your work with Ms. Nadia, you can come and work for me."

After saying goodbye to Monica Bellucci, Hideki Hanyu felt something new in his heart.

The famous ball flower turned out to be his female secretary, who would have thought.

However, after the novelty passed, he asked Marco to take him to Eiichi Jimbo's room.

This guy washed up and changed into clean clothes, and he looked a lot more energetic.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"Those international speculators are bastards, they ......"

Next, Shen Baoying scolded those international futures speculators for more than ten minutes.

In the scolding, mixed with his experience of how he was cheated out of funds by these people.

But these words are in Hanyu Hideki's ears, and they can be summed up in two sentences.

Relying on his two successes in the stock market, Eiichi Kamibou overestimated his abilities.

Because even if he doesn't know much about the futures market, he can hear that most of the responsibility for losing all that money lies with Eiichi Shenbao himself.

But considering that the previous two times to make money with the help of the stock market, the other party has contributed.

Although he also paid him, he still had a favor.

In addition, this person is easy to use and use, seeing that it has not been long since the Plaza Agreement was signed, Hanyu Hideki doesn't mind giving the other party another chance.

"Shen Bao-san, would you like to come back and give me a job again?"

"Of course I do."

Eiichi Kamibo pulled down his face and asked Yada Yoshihiro about the whereabouts of Hideki Hanyu, and then came all the way to Amerika, for the sake of this.

"That's good, I'm very optimistic about the yen exchange rate in the next few months, you come up with an actionable plan as soon as possible, and then we'll talk about it."

"Okay, no problem, I'll start working on the plan, but I'm ...... now"

As soon as Kamibo Eichi spoke, he showed an embarrassed expression.

Hanyu Hideki knew that the other party was penniless, so he said directly, "I will arrange the living expenses for you as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, boss."

……

Say goodbye to Eichi Kambo, it's still early.

Hideki Hanyu simply changed his clothes and went to the nearby iron gym to work out.

By the time he returned to the hotel after some workouts, it was already evening.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, he received a call from Yasuko Sawaguchi.

The girl confided in Hideki Hanyu on the phone about the pain of lovesickness.

said that the amateur golf tournament she participated in was about to end.

When the time comes, I want to come to America to accompany Hanyu Hideki, and I said that I miss some shame.

Hideki Hanyu was naturally full of promises.

Originally, he was busy with work, and he also consumed energy by iron, but he didn't think much about women.

At this time, Yasuko Sawaguchi said this, only thinking that the sooner the girl came, the better.

Even after hanging up the phone with the girl, when I rested at night, I had a spring dream because of this.

It's just that what makes him strange is that the protagonist of this spring dream is not Yasuko Sawaguchi who hooked his mind.

It's the female secretary who hasn't been there yet, Monica Bellucci.

Flaming red lips, big burgundy waves......

Well......

It's América here, and she's not his lover.

If he really wants to do something stupid, he doesn't have the power to cover him.

Thinking like this, Hideki Hanyu quickly put the matter behind him.

Continue to work the next day, and by the way, vent your energy with the help of iron.

But the desire has been hooked.

And how can it be easily pressed down.

That night, he had the same spring dream as the day before.

As a result, at this time, Yasuko Sawaguchi called.

"Hideki-kun, Yamaha just called, our customized yacht has completed all the testing work, and it is going to be officially handed over to us, and I will go to Osaka to collect the boat first after the game."

Obviously, Yasuko Sawaguchi won't be able to come to America in the short term.

What can Hideki Hanyu do?

Distract with work and consume energy with iron.

On this day, he was working in the office of Elf Entertainment.

The company receptionist called him.

"Mr. Hanyu, there's Miss Monica Bellucci looking for you."

"Let her come up."

Hideki Hanyu put down the phone, and it didn't take long for him to hear a knock on the door.

His office on the Genie Entertainment Campus was, like Michael Katz, not in the main building.

Instead, it's in a separate two-story office building.

It is connected to the main building by a semi-buried passage.

According to Michael Katz, bosses staring at employees all day do not increase employee productivity.

On the contrary, proper distance and giving employees enough space and distance will allow employees to gain creativity and inspiration.

Hideki Hanyu was skeptical of the conclusion of this statement.

But there is a lot of approval of this approach.

At least away from the staff, his own office is quiet.

After all, in this two-story office building, no one else will bother him except Michael Katz and a few leaders.

When I opened the door, it was Monica Bellucci standing outside.

But what surprised Hideki Hanyu was this.

The "ball flower" standing in front of him at this moment is completely different from before.

A well-fitting women's suit skirt that accentuates the figure without looking too much.

The original burgundy waves were replaced with black ponytails.

The face has light makeup and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

The glamorous light is no longer there, and there is no way to talk about maturity, but it is like a pure student girl who has just graduated from college and has just entered the workplace.

I have to say that such a "ball flower" has a unique temperament.

After admiring the unique "ball flower", Hideki Hanyu asked, "Miss Monica has finished working with Ms. Nadia?" ”

"After that, I can officially join the company from today."

Monica Bellucci also added jokingly, "So Mr. Hanyu can call me Monica directly from now on." ”

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he also smiled and changed his words, "Okay Monica." ”

Then he pointed to the glasses on the other person's face and asked, "I think you shouldn't be short-sighted." ”

"I'm not nearsighted, so it's a flat glass."

Monica Bellucci explained in passing, "Actually, I learned from Mr. Hanyu and used it to match clothes, so that it was more formal. ”

"Uh......, if you like it."

Hideki Hanyu would like to say that the way you dress is easy to associate with some kind of drama.

The boss and the female secretary with black-rimmed glasses .......

As soon as the imagination appeared, Hideki Hanyu hurriedly stopped in his heart.

It's all because there is nowhere to vent after the desire is provoked, and there is that damn spring dream.

In order not to continue to think about it, Hideki Hanyu hurriedly said to Monica Bellucci.

"Miss Monica, please come in, I'll take you to the office first."

There is also a secretary's office area between Hideki Hanyu's office and the common area.

After arranging the seats, Hideki Hanyu explained what he needed to do as a secretary.

When he was done, he continued to return to the office.

Today, he's dealing with some game designs, as well as applications that third-party developers need help with.

Michael Katz is very impressed with Hideki Hanyu's vision in this regard.

Therefore, as long as Hideki Hanyu is in America, even if this aspect of the work is completed, he will find Hideki Hanyu to review it.

What Hideki Hanyu was looking at at at this time was a game application from a local game company in the United States.

Electronic Arts.

That is, the famous EA.

Speaking of EA, Michael Katz also dealt with the NBA last year when he was negotiating licensing.

That is, EA won the image license of Julius Owen and Larry Bird as early as the year before last and developed their own games.

Developed a basketball game called One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird.

However, this game has only been authorized by the players, and only on the PC.

The game's success made EA see the potential of sports games and try to start licensing with the NBA.

It just so happened that at this time, Elf Entertainment also came to talk about licensing.

EA at this time is not the American game giant in the future.

Whether it is financial resources or influence, it is naturally not as good as Elf Entertainment.

But the NBA officials are not stupid, using EA to bargain with Elf Entertainment.

In the end, it made Elf Entertainment raise a lot of conditions.

Even Genie Entertainment promised the other party that they could continue to use Julius Owen and Larry Bird's image authorization in order to get EA out.

And some elements of the NBA can be used in the game.

This incident annoyed Michael Katz a lot, and he complained a lot to Hideki Hanyu.

Perhaps it was because of the success of Pokeball 2 that EA began to consider other platforms in advance.

The game reported this time is the handheld version of "One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird".

Because of last year's incident, Elf Entertainment didn't want to agree to the application.

But after reading the game design, Hideki Hanyu finally agreed.

It's just that he has some emotion that he is in another time and space.

Forcing Sega to the death, signing a series of unequal conditions, and helping Sega's MD console suppress Nintendo FC's EA, this life will be controlled by his elf entertainment.

However, the other party should not be underestimated, although EA has made a lot of money from sports games, it is not only from sports games to make money.

Although Hideki Hanyu knew those IPs, he didn't have much of the heart to grab them all.

Originally, there were too many excellent games in the original time and space, and how many could he copy by himself.

Especially the further you go, the bigger the game will become, and the slower the development will be.

Initially, Nintendo would also limit the number of third-party developments per year.

But in the future, those excellent game masterpieces will be developed for three years, and it will be a normal thing.

Unless he learns the doppelganger technique, how many games can he develop on his own?

As long as you grab a few core IPs and build the platform accordingly, are you afraid that there will be no money to make?

And he is an outsider, and eating alone will not end well.

Even with the sports event authorizations in his hands, he doesn't plan to develop them all by Elf Entertainment alone.

It is completely possible to find a third party to cooperate, share benefits, and make more friends, so that you can bind deeper and go further.

EA is one of the partners he is considering.

Hideki Hanyu had just finished reading EA's application documents and was ready to move on with the rest of the work.

There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Monica Bellucci's voice, "Boss, it's me." ”

"Please come in."

"Boss, Boeing just called, saying that tomorrow can participate in the test flight, a total of two days, take off from San Jose Airport at 2 p.m., fly to Seattle headquarters, and then have a day of visiting.

They ask if you have time? ”

"Seattle ......"

Hideki Hanyu wanted to say, isn't Boeing's headquarters in Chicago?

But as soon as the words were exported, it was reflected that Boeing's headquarters was only relocated to Chicago in 2001.

Even so, Seattle is still Boeing's largest assembly plant in the world.

He thought about it, and there was nothing that had to be dealt with in the next two days, so he commanded.

"Monica, help me get back to Boeing, I'm okay here."

"Okay, boss."

Watch as Monica Bellucci turns away.

Hanyu Hideki thought to himself, this is different with a female secretary.

Otherwise, contacting a trip requires his big boss to go out in person, which is too cheap.

And it's amazing to be able to use the future "ball flower" as a female secretary.

Adjust the update time slowly, try not to let everyone stay up late, and I will stay up less late by the way.
