Piercing, too piercing.

The pokeni thorn has grown completely into Renten's eyes.

Damn it!

Shigeru Miyamoto thought with some frustration-

Does Pokeni have to pick a time like this?

……

Piercing, too piercing.

Qing Zhiyuan, this guy is really eye-catching!

This afternoon, Aochigen asked Hirokazu Hattori to go fishing at the lake last time.

In just half an hour's effort, this guy Qing Zhiyuan has already caught several fish.

Although it is not very large, it is considered a full harvest, and two of the grass carp can be used for barbecue.

On the other hand, Hattori Hiroyuki's side is still in the Air Force after more than 2 hours.

Hattori Yuyuki couldn't help frowning fiercely, he didn't expect Qing Zhiyuan's luck to be so good.

It's so dazzling.

Seeing this, Qing Zhiyuan himself stopped pulling the rod.

After a while.

Or Hattori Yuyuki couldn't help it, "The fish are all biting, and you still don't pull it?" ”

At this time, Qing Zhiyuan pulled up embarrassedly.

One look, oh, it's a big one.

"Alright, tonight's barbecue has settled." Hiroyuki Hattori stood up with a blank face, and he didn't want to continue fishing.

The two of them walked to the shore and found a small restaurant for the owner to cook.

The fish you catch yourself is more fragrant than the fish you bought in the vegetable market.

After two glasses of sake, Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Then this time the game will be released, please ask President Hattori." ”

As he spoke, he took out the prepared gift and put it in front of Hiroyuki Hattori.

"This is a gift for children, Nao chose it herself, she said that children grow taller faster, so they have to buy clothes more diligently, and buy more one size bigger."

When Hattori Hiroyuki heard Nao Tsuda's name, his mood also improved.

Accepting the gift, he nodded, "Thank you so much." ”

Generally speaking, they are more luxurious children's clothing, but the price is not too expensive, compared to the golf equipment worth millions sent by Qingzhiyuan before, it is actually nothing.

"Isn't it about to be the New Year, I may be busy by then, so let's send New Year's money to my children first." Qing Zhiyuan pushed a white envelope in front of Hiroyuki Hattori again.

It has three words written on it: "お年玉".

Neon also has a similar custom as China to give New Year's money to children, and they call it "Nian Nian Jade".

In fact, in ancient Chinese, there is a saying "Qi Nian Yu Sui", which refers to the flower-like years, that is, the best youth years of life.

Therefore, "Nian Yu" also has the meaning of blessing children to grow up healthily and spend their years like flowers and jade.

Tracing back to the origin of neon New Year's money, since ancient times, neon families will make rice cakes together in the New Year, put them on the altar, and offer them to the god of the New Year to pray for a disease-free and disaster-free New Year.

These rice cakes that have been stained with spirit will be shared with everyone to taste later. The Japanese pronunciation of "soul" and "jade" is similar, and these distributed rice cakes are also known as "nian yu".

With the change of the times, these rice cakes became "New Year's gifts" and then became children's New Year's money, and the word "New Year's jade" gradually evolved into a synonym for New Year's money.

Neon, like China, is also given to its own children or relatives, children and elders who are related by blood.

Qing Zhiyuan and Hattori Hiroyuki are also good partners of business and friends, so it is reasonable to give the child New Year's money.

But this kind of won't give a lot.,Even if the male owner has money, he won't give a lot.,It's etiquette.。

Even a rich guy like Qing Zhiyuan only stuffed 30,000 yen into the white envelope for the New Year's money, which is what it means.

Be a good wish.

"Ah, what's so embarrassing?"

"It's just a blessing, don't be polite, I hope that Yuzi will be like jade."

Hiroyuki Hattori's child is called Tamako Hattori.

Although there is quite a big difference in the pronunciation of neon, there is a special tacit understanding in Chinese, and Qing Zhiyuan can't help but laugh dumbly when he thinks of this.

"Then thank you, I'll take it for Yuzi first."

Other valuable gifts are nothing, although the weight of this young jade is not much, compared to those things given by Qing Zhiyuan, it is simply not worth mentioning.

However, for Hattori Hiroyuki, this [Nianyu] is more valuable than previous gifts.

Mainly because-

It brings the two families closer.

After all, sending [Nianyu] has to be done between people with a better relationship, colleagues, superiors and subordinates, ordinary business partners or something, will not send Nianyu.

There may be a bit of a loss of transgression, but Hattori Hiroyuki feels that Qing Zhiyuan's sense of transgression is just right.

Tooth white!

He seems to be liking this guy more and more.

"If only you had a child." Hiroyuki Hattori said with a smile.

"Well, let it be." Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

"It's better to be a boy." Hiroyuki Hattori blinked.

"I lend you good words." Qing Zhiyuan raised his glass.

Qing Zhiyuan said that it doesn't matter, as long as there is a child, a son or daughter can be cultivated as an heir.

It doesn't matter if they don't have talent, as long as they live happily.

After chatting with the parents, Hattori Yuyuki began to discuss the release of the game with Qing Zhiyuan.

"Huh? Is it actually a direct two games this time? ”

"Yes." Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously, "The sequel to the Pokémon 3D world, the dark side of the moon and the myth of the sun, can be regarded as twin games, the two games can be said to be similar but opposite, just like a mirror relationship."

In terms of setting, one is dominated by the moon and the other is dominated by the sun. ”

You don't stop all year round, don't you?

Qing Zhiyuan said, where is this, our Pokémon project is 5 products at the beginning, and I can't stand it just after two releases?

President Hattori, are you not good?

"Is it like last time CL and LL?" Hiroyuki Hattori asked.

"Not really." Qing Zhiyuan shook his head, "We hope to have two games on the shelves at the same time this time. ”

"Huh?"

Hiroyuki Hattori was taken aback, and didn't seem to expect Seichi to adopt such a strategy.

"But in this way, won't it affect each other's sales performance?"

Hiroyuki Hattori asked suspiciously.

After all, if you put two games on the shelves at the same time, it seems that you can save half the promotional resources, but there is also a possibility that there will be competition between each other, and one of the games will not sell very well.

After all, players have limited attention spans.

Money is also limited.

"Pokémon games are different from other games." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

What I want is the effect of two games being released at the same time, on the one hand, Qingzhiyuan is full of confidence in their games, there must be no problems, just release them.

On the other hand, this time the twin structure is different from CL and LL.

CL and LL, although they also constitute a mirror relationship, but in the plot structure and description, they strictly follow the order.

Players play CL first and then LL, which is completely different from the experience of playing LL first and then CL.

CL's story itself is very infectious, and when it comes out, the tragic ending alone, the death of his wife and daughter, is enough to form a huge impact.

And LL is used to make up for regrets, and his essence is healing.

So one is destruction, the other is healing, and of course the destruction has to be put in front.

There is a particularly well-known effect in psychology called the law of peak and finality.

In other words, people's impression of a thing plays a key role in the last moment of stay.

For example, if you go to a supermarket, the whole shopping experience is relatively average, but when you walk to the checkout counter and walk out of the exit, there is free ice cream to take, then you will feel that this shopping trip is very pleasant.

This is also the reason why Qingzhiyuan wants to put LL behind CL for sale.

At least the players stay on the LL, the mind is healed, and it makes up for the regrets in the CL.

This is where the players come to a complete conclusion.

However, the two new games of Pokémon are different, the dark side of the moon and the myth of the sun, both of which are independent stories from each other, and they are mirror relationships in the setting, not in the experience.

In the game, players can have an independent and complete experience no matter which game they play, and they are all happy.

So two games like this, when put on sale together, not only will they not conflict with each other, but they will have a strong chemical reaction because of their mirror relationship.

In a sense, releasing both Dark Side of the Moon and Mythology of the Sun is more in line with the tradition of Pokémon.

Because Pokémon itself releases two different versions every time it is released, the purpose is to make the Pokémon that players get different, so as to promote their social behavior.

Although there is a difference, but in the form of a more familiar and accepted existence for players.

"Okay, I see."

Hiroyuki Hattori nodded earnestly.

"Then I'll take 200,000 copies each."

……

After eating, Hiroyuki Hattori got into the car.

Throw both game discs in the trash.

Punch in.

……

The rest of the year was full of advertisements for new Pokémon games.

Since the news that Totoro is going to join Pokémon has come out, it has been like lighting a fuse.

followed by the overwhelming advertising of the two games, which suddenly increased the popularity.

The pokeni that pierced the eyes looked even more eye-catching.

Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Ren Heaven never dreamed that P Society would make this play near the end of the year.

Directly hit the king bomb!

Abominable pokeni.

Ren Heaven's Super Mario 3D Adventure finally achieved good results, who would have thought that Pokémon would step on the back foot, and it was two games at the same time!

"But isn't that a bit too wasteful?"

Maybe the two games will be released separately, and each of them will achieve millions of sales, and if they are released together, it may be discounted.

After all, players have a limited amount of money.

Time and energy are also limited.

……

Surprise!

Pokémon's two games have unleashed endless surprises.

Don't convince Hiroyuki that he hasn't seen such a surprise, and neither have the players.

"It's almost the New Year, but I didn't expect Pokeni to have a big surprise."

"It's a pleasant surprise."

"This time the promotion of Pokémon is completely unusual, and the previous Pokeni games were almost all focused on releasing and promoting one every once in a while.

And this time, Pokémon came directly with a double yolk egg. ”

"I've never seen two similar games played at the same time."

"It's not like Pokeni is doing too much content and then splitting a game and selling it, right?"

"Then it should be sold before and after, right?"

"Whatever, at least you won't have to worry about no games to play during the Chinese New Year."

"yes, I'm actually looking forward to it, the Pokémon 3D world gives me a really good impression, and it's really amazing to be able to make a game like this."

"To this day, Pokémon 3D is still the game I use to break the ice with my strangers."

"Not to mention strange friends, we often organize with familiar friends to play Pokémon on weekends, and the whole process is very fun.

In particular, it can be played by 4 people. ”

"You guys can't be doing anything weird, are you? The best thing to say is to play Pokémon! ”

"I rely on Pokémon 3D now, and I've successfully dated several girls, and every time I come to the house to play, I roll into bed while playing!"

"Ah~ how can it be repaired! Where did it come from, it really makes people jealous to death. ”

"The girl upstairs on a date, I think it's okay to lie to a buddy, but don't lie to yourself."

"Hahahaha...... Self-deception, huh? Suddenly I have a sense of imagery. ”

……

After school in the afternoon, a few children got together.

"Nene, have you heard, Pokémon is coming out with a new game?"

Reiko Sato rubbed her little hands, her cheeks were a little red from the cold, and she looked very cute with a round face.

"Uh-huh, great, I saw an ad for pokeni!" The skinny monkey danced happily.

"Mm-hmm, it looks like it's about to be a holiday." Uesugi said.

When he spoke, a mist came out of his mouth.

It's December, but it's getting colder, and everyone is wearing a little thicker.

His eyes were fixed on Reiko, and it looked like this guy was really cold.

"Whose house should I go to this time?" Fat Bear asked.

"Xiaosheng's family, right?" Reiko said with a smile.

I didn't expect a girl to be quite positive about the game.

Uesugi thought to himself.

But he didn't refuse, "Yes, if it's a holiday, Mom should be able to let us play for a few more days, and then you remember to tell the family, otherwise Mom will definitely not agree." ”

The last time I played a game at Uesugi Sheng's house, Uesugi's mother was already worried, and if I came again, I don't know if I would lose my temper.

However, the main thing is that there are friends with you, and your mother won't be too irritable in their faces.

At the thought of her mother's demonic face, Uesugi shuddered involuntarily.

"Xiaosheng, are you cold," Reiko pulled out a pair of plush gloves from her pocket and handed it to him, "You wear mine." ”

"Huh? You don't wear it yourself, is it really okay to give it to me? ”

"It's okay, I'm not cold at all." Reiko laughed happily, and the whole person was sunny.

"Yay! Then we can play Pokémon together again! ”

"I think the dark side of the moon and the myth of the sun will launch new Pokémon, but I don't know what they are."

"The sun and the moon, I'm more curious about the moon."

"I prefer the sun, don't you think the sun is more mysterious? At such a high temperature, Pokémon will be roasted as soon as they go up, right? ”

"Giggle......

A few children clutched their stomachs and laughed slightly.

The thought of the Pokémon being roasted made everyone laugh.

"If Pikachu is cooked, will it be delicious?"

"Giggle......

"It's so cruel to you guys, Pikachu is so cute, why do you want to eat it?" Reiko herself couldn't stop laughing, but she objected out of pity.

"But are you ignoring a very important question?!" The skinny monkey reminded on the side.

"What?"

"A Pokémon Moon Dark Side costs 6,900 yen, plus a Sun Myth ......"

He snapped his fingers and began to calculate.

"It costs 13,800 yen." Reiko immediately gave the answer.

Among the children, Reiko Sato has the best grades, which is why their mothers like Reiko and want their sons to have more contact with Reiko.

It's just to get Reiko to bring them on the right track.

Unexpectedly, this little girl's game addiction is even greater than that of other boys.

"Ahh Do you want so much?! ”

Uesugi and Fat Bear were taken aback.

The four children fell silent at the same time.

"Can we get together?" Reiko said.

"I think the release time of the game seems to be January 1st, and on the day of the New Year, we can get a lot of New Year's jade by then."

Nian Yu's words, for neon children, there is probably a conventional [charging standard]

It is calculated based on age.

The older the child, the more jade he gets.

For students like them, who are in the fourth grade of elementary school, their parents usually give 5,000 yen for the New Year.

If you are a relative, you will probably give about 3,000.

Friends also give the range of 3000 to 5000.

If you are a high school student, it will rise to 10,000 yen.

University student......

Under normal circumstances, after entering the university, it is rare to be pressured by the New Year's money.

And the neon gift to Nianyu is really equivalent to distributing pocket money to the children, which they can use to buy gifts and things they want.

For children, the Chinese New Year is also a rare way to get rich.

"If I'm lucky, I think I can get 20,000 or 30,000 yen." Skinny Monkey said.

"Uh-huh, then we're all pretty much the same."

"In that case, we'll scrape together the money for Uesugi and entrust him with the purchase."

Reiko Sato happily raised her right hand.

"Okay, on January 1st, gather at the door of Uesugi at 12 noon!"

……

Time flies, and in an instant, it is the day before the big day, and after the day's work, it is time to take a holiday.

Among Rentendo Co., Ltd.:

"Happy New Year!"

"So, let's go first."

The members packed up their things, stood up, and said goodbye to Superintendent Shigeru Miyamoto.

"See you next year."

"Happy New Year!" Shigeru Miyamoto responded.

At the same time, I packed my things and prepared to go home.

At this moment, he suddenly shook his body.

"Nani?!"

Terrible!

He suddenly remembered a very fatal question -

It's Chinese New Year!!

It's no wonder that Qing Zhiyuan wants to put the two Pokémon together at this point in time for sale!!
