Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 247 Questioning from the chairman of the department store
"Dear viewers, you have also seen that video games are a newly emerging industry, and now it has obviously developed to a large scale, and many players will be happy because of a character in the game, but sad, not allowed. Not to mention, this is really interesting and worthy of attention, and it seems that I also have to play the so-called video game well in the future, well, our interview and the end, thank you for watching."

In the chairman's office on the top floor of Woodson's department store headquarters, David stood in the center in a cold sweat, and a man with a big belly leaned back on the boss's chair, smoking a cigar and holding the TV's remote control.

In the smoke, he squinted at David, who was still in a cold sweat, and asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Do we have this popular product in these small and medium-sized department stores?"

"Yes... yes." David's breathing was a little short.

"If there is, why does it seem that only these small and medium-sized department stores are hot now, but our department stores have been deserted these two days? I want to know what is going on."

"Well, we have similar products, and the sales performance is actually very good. Our PN1 and PN2 game consoles, as well as Lierda's 2600, have sold hundreds of thousands of units and made a lot of money. .”

"However, the products sold by these small department stores are not as popular."

"No, it's not," David explained hastily.

"This is because the game consoles sold there have just released a new game, and they are so enthusiastic about buying it because of the new game."

"Games? What's that?" The director frowned, obviously he didn't know much about these things.

As a director of a department store, he usually spends more time doing bigger business, and he only asks about the results, not the process.

Originally, he was leisurely playing golf on the golf course yesterday, and chatting with some government officials and fellow executives.

This is the social activity they usually do best.

However, yesterday suddenly appeared a few uninvited guests that usually rarely appear.

They are the owners of several medium-sized department stores.

These bosses are usually not unqualified to come here, but even if they come here, they will appear to be lower than their big brothers.

The bosses of those medium-sized department stores are also very knowledgeable and will greet them with a low profile.

But yesterday, these bosses not only did not lower their posture to say hello, but instead showed a look like they were on an equal footing.

This puzzled the chairman.

When did these mid-sized department store folks float up again?

Are they planning to join forces to compete with the big department stores?

This is worth paying attention to.

So he ordered his men to investigate the recent developments in these department stores.

By the end of the night, he had learned something.

These small and medium-sized department stores have been profitable recently.

If it is a family or two, it is normal, but most of them are rapidly improving their profitability, which is very unusual.

On the other hand, looking at their department store, I glanced at the report, but found that there was almost no progress.

So he immediately investigated in detail what the reason was.

As the chairman of the board, he is also a person who only focuses on results. Now he wants to investigate the specific reasons, which is very rare.

Eventually he learned that these small and medium-sized department stores were all selling a product that made them a lot of money.

When they have money, they appear confident.

When he understood all this, he had only one question.

That is, does our company have the same product?
But that's a good question to ask David, the company's head of business.

Then the above scene happened.

David was in a cold sweat, and he never thought that the chairman of the board would find out about the news of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Damn, why is this company moving more and more violently every time?
Obviously they also have similar game product sales, but they just can't compare with others, which is very uncomfortable.

As long as all the video games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment are displayed, there is no need to worry about selling them, but the game consoles from Suri Electronics and Lierda they bought can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Several large companies can't even suppress a small emerging company in Japan. He all thinks that Suri Electronics and Lierda are a bit too wasteful.

"Chairman, video games are an entertainment product. Game consoles are like machines that play video tapes. Then video games are like video tapes of movies and TV shows. Only good-looking ones are more popular."

"So why don't we have the video games they're selling? Why don't we sell the video games that nobody buys?"

"Also... it's not that no one buys it, it's just that there are not as many people buying as there..."

"David, please don't argue with me. You know me. I can never allow my subordinates to fool me again and again. Don't think I can't see that you are fooling me now."

The pot-bellied chairman had a gloomy look on his face.

Being fooled by his subordinates is like the younger brother playing himself as a monkey. After all, he is also a big man who has been fighting for many years. How can such a thing be allowed to happen?

David said quickly, "No no no, I don't think so, it's just..."

"I just want to ask right now, why aren't we selling those hot products that department stores are selling?"

"It's because we're not authorized by those companies," David explained.

"Huh? Isn't it a little wrong for a company that sells products to go to those smaller department stores instead of our more influential department stores?"

The chairman didn't quite understand.

Seeing that it was over, David gritted his teeth and said, "They contacted us before, but we were influenced by those large companies, who threatened us that once we dared to sell this company's products, they would give up our relationship with us. contract of cooperation."

The chairman frowned and asked, "Who threatened?"

"There is Morgan Group, there is Surui Electronics, and there are several other relatively large electronics companies."

Hearing this, the chairman eased a bit.

This is a very reasonable reason.

Several large companies obviously want to suppress a little brother, so in order to ensure continuous cooperation with large companies, it is normal to give up cooperation with a small company.

Seeing that the chairman's expression softened, David breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly said again: "Then, I can only follow their request not to cooperate with this small company. I have no choice but to do so."

"So it is." The chairman nodded slightly, and it was no wonder David.

But he still said: "You can contact this small company again, explain the reason well, and then sign a cooperation agreement with them."

"Chairman, the threats from those big companies..."

"Hehe, when you don't have any interests, you can naturally listen to them. It's a way to sell their face, but now, why listen to them? They really dare to give up their cooperation with us? At most, we can only complain about a few words. He is the one who truly has the right to speak.”

"Okay, I understand, I'll contact this company now."

"Well, you can go." The chairman waved his hand and prepared to send David away. It was just a trivial matter.

But at this moment, a subordinate of the chairman's confidant quickly entered the office, and after taking a look at David, he came to the chairman's ear and whispered a few words.

David was about to leave at this time, but suddenly heard a gloomy voice from behind: "David, wait for me."
