Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 25 Dragon Quest
The next day, Hayasawa Airi woke up in a daze.

Walking out of the bedroom, she once again saw Zhu Yuxing sitting on the chair in the living room operating the computer, as if he was doing some work.

"Boss, yawn, when did you get up?"

"Me? A little earlier than you."

Zhu Yuxing answered in a non-committal way.

In fact he hadn't slept all night.

But the energy is surprisingly good, and there are no major problems.

In this case, Zhu Yuxing didn't want to give up this good opportunity, so he began to write the prototype of the next game at night.

As for what the next game will be, Zhu Yuxing actually had a plan in his heart for a long time.

There are about forty or fifty models of the most classic games in the red and white machine. In addition to these classic games, in fact, the sales of games other than this can only be said to be average.

Of course, any game that sells more than [-] copies on red and white consoles basically makes money.

However, since Zhuyouxing planned to squeeze out the value of the entire red and white machine from the very beginning, those whose sales volume is less than 100 million do not need to be considered for the time being. planted.

And the second game Zhu Yuxing plans to make is Dragon Quest.

Thanks to his rich experience when he and his father played Xiaobawang when he was young, he almost played all the most classic games of the red and white machine.

This made him still remember many classic games of red and white machines no matter how many years passed.

Dragon Quest is one of them.

In his memory, Dragon Quest is also a super-explosive IP that is popular all over Japan.

In the world of his previous life, it once became a phenomenon-level game.

The first generation of Dragon Quest allows players to really realize that the original game can still be played like this, that they can really play a hero to fight evil demons.

Then the second generation became popular all over Japan.

Then to the third generation of Dragon Quest, it reached the level of empty streets on the day it was released, and it has become an indelible memory in Japanese history.

Now, Zhu Yuxing plans to make Dragon Quest 1 first as an appetizer.

Super Mario starts, Dragon Quest sells extra, and then writes a few games that are relatively simple and can also be supplemented with cheaper sales.

If a game console only has one or two first games before its official release, it will be a bit too shabby.

Hayazawa Airi walked downstairs, then curiously leaned behind Take Yusei and looked at the contents in front of Take Yusei's computer.

Writing a program isn't really pretty until it's completely done, and even the layman will just feel a little bit confused.

So Hayazawa Airi gave up after just a few glances, went to wash up, and started the day's work.

"Zhu You-sang, what do we do today? Will we continue to recruit employees?"

"Today, you will continue to be a small supervisor, and I will be in charge of employee recruitment." Zhu Youxing said while saving the computer data and shutting it down.

The production of Dragon Quest is now halfway through.

Thanks to the direction of production already in his mind, the overall production speed does not take too long. He even does the dubbing himself. Anyway, it's all electronic synthesis sounds plus some simple rhythm composition. it is good.

People in this era do not have a particularly intuitive concept of music in video games, so the requirements are not too strict, and he can barely solve the problem of music based on memory.

It's just that I'm not very good at painting, so I can only find a professional to do it.

Akira Toriyama was the royal painter of Dragon Quest in the previous life. Even in the past 20 years, there has been no change, and the painting style of Dragon Quest has become its iconic element.

However, with the amount of money Zhu Yuxing himself has now, it seems that it will not be easy to find such a well-known painter for the royal family.

oh wait...

Zhu Yuxing suddenly remembered something.

It seems that I can really find such a royal painter.

Half an hour later, the two set off for the office building again.

After a day of recruitment work yesterday, the number of employees responsible for assembling game consoles at the initial stage has reached about 20 people.

His plan was to bring in fifty or so employees first.

If the speed is fast enough, one employee can assemble more than 20 units a day, so 50 people can assemble nearly [-] units a day.

That's [-] a month.

However, Zhu Yuxing couldn't be satisfied with this at all.

He has to find a way to expand the production line process even more, either by finding a real assembly factory or building one himself.

However, it is not a big problem to deal with the early stage.

Today's recruitment and decoration work went smoothly. In the whole day, Zhuyouxing recruited more than 20 employees responsible for assembly, and the progress of decoration is basically completed. The rest is to conduct another acceptance inspection tomorrow. , you can basically get everything done.

At the same time, Hirohito Chida also sent a message telling him that the price of 650 yen can be finalized, and Zhuyouxing only needs to pay a 5.00% deposit in the early stage.

Originally, according to the company's rules, at least [-]% must be paid first.

However, under Chida Hirohito's lobbying, the company's boss finally agreed to a 5.00% deposit.

Because this is a very rare order, if you don't show enough sincerity, Zhu Yuxing may find a new company at any time.

After confirming the deposit, the factory immediately started the production process, and all the processes were simplified, because Zhu Youxing specifically requested that he had a batch of goods that needed to be released early, and the factory had to be in a hurry.

Fortunately, the circuit board itself is not complicated, and it only needs a simple factory work to start working.

At the same time, Zhu Yuxing also contacted the plastic shell factory, and the final price was also maintained at a cost of only [-] yen for a set of game console shells and accessories.

In this way, the main board of the game console costs 650 yen, plus the shell of 750 yen, and then additional costs such as labor and rent of about [-] yen, the cost price is changed from the [-] yen that I pre-conceived. The yen was reduced to [-] yen.

For this cost price, Zhu Youxing feels that there is still room for compression, but it is acceptable now.

And there are only three or four days left before the delivery date that Datian is negotiating with, which can be said to be just right.

The sale of ten game consoles will cost 200 million yen, and then wait for another ten days to give his first partner Ota Masa ample opportunity to make money before starting the official sale of the second batch of game consoles.

So far, everything is still in Zhu Yuxing's plan.
