23. Miracle call
25 June 1990.
Pokeni Co., Ltd.
There was a sense of desperation in the company.
Yes, if the air was heavy a few months ago, it can be called despair by now.
originally thought that "Onmyoji" was the company's turnaround, but I didn't expect to die before the teacher was released, and since it was released in early June, it has only sold more than 1,000 copies.
This amount is not even comparable to the previous "Heart of the Sword"
If you give up if you haven't tried hard, you can probably use "we still have hope, as long as we are serious" as an excuse.
But when you go all out and still fail miserably, then it's really desperate.
Because you don't know what to do.
In the past few days, Pokeni's life has been hanging by a thread, and the employees have worked hard to do sales, publicity, call their relatives and friends, go to the streets to hand out flyers, and find various stores to promote "Onmyoji......
But it's a pity that-
Little success.
Many stores didn't even experience it, so they directly sentenced the Onmyoji to death-
A company that doesn't have any reputation, plus the game's early performance is really bad, so no one thinks it's a product that impresses players enough.
"Ah~ This time it should be really over, right?"
"Dead. Hard. ”
"Who would have thought."
"yes, such a good work, but it didn't sell much."
In the smoking room, the members had already given up on themselves, and even had the idea of resigning voluntarily.
"But when I think that this company is almost finished, it is better to stay and accompany it on its last journey."
"The president is actually quite good, and we haven't done anything wrong, so we can only say that our luck is not good."
"Well, glorious curtain call, after this job, I want to go back to the countryside to raise chickens."
"Ah~ Tokyo, how many people's dreams, is it really not for me?"
Call now!
Why are you stunned?
If there are no customers, take the initiative to pull customers.
But......
Can't tell.
When Qing Zhiyuan saw the tired looks on everyone's faces, he wanted to scold these people, but he couldn't say it.
Even when he heard these people say that they would stay with him on the last journey, there were some tears.
How can it be repaired!
Lao Tzu is a reborn person, holding a bunch of king bombs in his hands, shouldn't this be the result?
Is it true that those who take off too easily in the novel are all lies?
"Everyone."
Qing Zhiyuan clapped his hands.
The crowd looked up.
"Let's get off work early today, thank you for your care and hard work these days." He bowed to the crowd.
I don't know why, when I heard his words, everyone's eyes were a little moist.
"I'll invite you all to have a drink in the evening." Qing Zhiyuan laughed, "There is still a little money in the account, what do you want to eat, what you want to drink, just order." Please be sure to look at your face. ”
Akanishi Ken stood up and stepped forward and patted Qing Zhiyuan on the shoulder, "I'm going!" You'll have a good drink tonight. ”
"Yo Si!" Everyone nodded in agreement, smiles on their faces.
Chikawa Hiroichi wiped his glasses with his hand, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
"President's ......"
This is clearly a parting feast, and it is estimated that pokeni will not exist from now on.
It's so damning, this feeling.
Chikawa hates it very much.
If Qing Zhiyuan was the kind of cold-blooded president, it wouldn't make people feel so uncomfortable.
He longed for Qing Zhiyuan to humiliate them fiercely, and then disband Pokeni, which was better than this kind of fake good old man-style treat.
"Unwilling, so unwilling......" Mika Ishino cried.
Affected by her emotions, the colleagues around her also cried silently.
"Let's go. We all tried our best and have nothing to regret. Qing Zhiyuan squeezed out a smile and gently hugged Mika Ishino.
The latter's body trembled.
"It's because I tried my best that I was unwilling...... I am not reconciled~ How can I repair it! Chikawa Hiroichi stood up and slammed his badge to the ground.
The others turned away, not wanting to be seen in tears.
Qing Zhiyuan understands them very well and knows this pain.
It is because of hard work and hard work that it hurts.
"I ......"
Qing Zhiyuan pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he was a little speechless for a while.
"Jingle Bell ......"
At this moment, in such a quiet and oppressive atmosphere of despair, the company's phone rang at an inopportune time.
"Jingle Bell ......"
After a few calls, no one answered.
Everyone looked at the president.
But Qing Zhiyuan didn't move.
HR Akane Ayase really couldn't hold back, wiped a handful of tears, walked over and picked up the phone.
"Moxi, pokeni."
"Okay."
"Okay."
In the entire company, there is only Akane Ayase's voice.
But in the next second, the expression on her face changed drastically.
From the initial depression and despair, it turned into shock.
"Okay?!"
"Please tell us the address of your store."
"Okay."
Akane Ayase hurriedly took out a pen from the side and recorded something in the notebook.
"Okay, thank you very much!"
After hanging up the phone, Akane Ayase looked up and looked at Qing Zhiyuan with a pair of big eyes open in disbelief.
"President!"
"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan looked back.
"1000 copies!" A smile appeared at the corner of Akane Ayase's mouth, and she felt that her heart was about to jump out.
"What 1,000 copies?" Qing Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, not very understanding.
"Just now, the Sano Game Store called us and ordered 1,000 copies of Onmyoji." Akane Ayase said.
Ha?
The entire interior of the pokeni suddenly fell silent.
Two seconds passed.
"Wow! ~" The crowd erupted in cheers.
"Nani?!"
"1000 copies?!"
"Really?!"
……
"Jingle Bell~"
Just when everyone was feeling incredulous, a second phone call came in.
"Moxi, pokeni." Akane Ayase picked up the phone.
"Order 2,000 copies of Onmyoji? Okay, please let me know the address of your company. ”
Akane Ayase recorded with a pen while gesturing at Qing Zhiyuan.
Everyone looked at each other, completely unaware of what was going on.
Why are there so many orders all of a sudden?
At the same time, the third pass sounded.
This was followed by the fourth pass......
Fifth Pass ......
Everyone was stupid.
"Why are you stunned, answer the phone!" Qing Zhiyuan shouted loudly.
Only then did everyone return to their respective jobs as if they had just woken up from a dream.
"Hello, this is Pokeni."
"Okay, Onmyoji, right? How many copies do I need to order? ”
On this night.
The whole office was filled with ringing phones.
Orders come after order, and there seems to be no end in sight.
……
For Qing Zhiyuan, this is simply a miracle.
