Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 52 The Eighth Game

Zhu Yuxing interviewed the employees very smoothly. Most of them were qualified programmers and computer engineers. The only problem was how to change their minds to create games.

But only one of them was an exception.

A strange girl.

Wrapping himself tightly, Zhu Youxing couldn't even see his face.

But when he saw this girl, there was an indescribable sense of familiarity.

As if I had seen it somewhere.

Aya Tsukino, on the other hand, has a deep memory of Zhu Yuxing.

It's the guy who calls himself an entertainment hall clerk, why is he here?In addition to being a clerk in the entertainment hall, is he also an interviewer for this company?

"Hello, Ms. Tsukino Aya, your resume is amazing. You graduated from Stanford with a major in computer science. I am afraid that this kind of education will be very popular anywhere you go?"

"I don't like those places, and I'm not short of money." Tsukino Aya answered Zhu Yuxing's question very succinctly.

Not for money?
"I'm just interested in the games your company makes."

Zhu Yuxing's eyes lit up when he heard it.

This was the only person in the interview today who said he was interested in the game itself.

Most of the other people who came over were still bewildered by the so-called video games.

Some of them are aware of the red and white machines, but they don't have a specific concept in this regard.

"Tell me what you think of video games." Zhu Yuxing became interested and began to ask.

The previous employees basically asked simple questions casually and passed.

But Aya Tsukino is special.

"Video games are fun, and I think they could be more fun, but I just don't know where to start."

This is the first person who wants to actively learn to make games!And he graduated from a top university.

Zhu Yuxing felt like he had found a treasure.

He began to have a heated discussion with Tsukino Aya.

Originally, Zhu Yuxing was supposed to be the interviewer, so he should be more serious.

But when he sees a person who is willing to take the initiative to play games, he can't hold back his personality.

As Tsukino Aya talked with Take Yusei, she also felt more and more that Take Yuxing himself was a little mysterious.

This does not seem to be a simple interviewer and entertainment hall clerk.

He is so knowledgeable about computer technology that the interviewer should not be so familiar with computers.

Is he also a veteran programmer of this company?
"If you are hired, you can come to work in the company tomorrow, and the remuneration package is the highest standard in the market."

There is no doubt about the level of Tsukino Aya, and the students who graduate from Stanford Computer are almost the top in the industry.

"Well, can I make a condition?"

Tsukino Aya suddenly raised her hand and said.

"You said."

"I'd love to be able to work from home if I can, just programming should be fine."

Zhu Youxing was stunned.

This requires something special.

The first day I came here, I proposed to work from home.

I'm afraid most companies can't accept it.

Maybe that's why she hasn't been looking for a job?

Seeing Take Yusei's expression, Tsukino Aya quickly said, "If that doesn't work, I want my workstation to be separated, and I don't want to be too close to other people."

This time Aya Tsukino really wanted to work here because the game was fun and she wanted to be a part of it.

Zhu Yuxing looked at Tsukune Aya suspiciously.

Are you wearing everything up and down just to keep someone from touching you?
It looks like the company is going to have an extra group of geeky programmers.

This guy wrapped himself tightly, except that the silver double ponytail felt very dazzling, and he couldn't see his appearance and figure at all, which really made people wonder what he looked like.

"Of course this is no problem, the company is also very big."

"Then I'll be fine."

"The employment contract will be officially signed tomorrow, and then you can officially start work."

Zhu Yuxing will also take this group of people through the first game production process.

……

After recruiting the employees, Zhu Yuxing began to train them in game production.

It is not easy for them to enter a brand new industry, but it is a start, and there can also be a project that they can follow along to learn, and strive to let them play the first game with themselves within a month. produced.

One month passed quickly, and the overall development of the company has gradually entered the right track.

Including the first week of game console sales, it has taken a total of one month and one week so far. More than 1000 game consoles have been sold. The highest game sales volume is more than 5000 copies of Tetris, followed by After that, there are more than [-] copies of Contra.

Bomberman, Tank War, and Gobang are about [-] copies.

The one that sells the least is Dragon Quest, which has been in production for the longest time.

I'm not in a hurry about this sales volume, because role-playing games take time to ferment, and it has not yet reached the moment of real explosion.

The comic magazines have been using comics for methodical promotion, and the comic story is about to reach a climax. At that time, you can take a look at the game's release data.

And the official release of the eighth game is not far away.

In a month, most players have almost played the existing games, just in need of a new game.

"Super baseball game, the latest game of the red and white machine is about to be released! You can pre-order in advance! Each store will have different official pre-order bonuses for pre-orders. Pre-orders in this store will get a limited exclusive badge for the baseball game! Only 3500 yen!"

In the Daejeon Entertainment Hall, the shop assistants are vigorously promoting the latest games.

The latest game is on sale, and it's also a baseball game.

As Japan's first national sport, baseball's status has been unshakable for many years.

Just posting the billboard immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Especially children, their eyes are shining.

They have been nurtured by baseball since they were young, and dreamed of being able to stand on the baseball arena and attract the attention of everyone when they were adults.

At this moment, the image of a young man on the billboard is posing for a ball, surrounded by countless spectators cheering like a villain. Just looking at the billboard makes many children yearn for it.

For only [-] yen, the children immediately clamored for the parents to buy the Super Baseball game, and the parents seemed to be gradually reacting at this time.

Buying a game console before is not the end, but a beginning. The game console is just a carrier. If you want to play more games, you have to buy additional games.

Although the money is not much, it is definitely not a small amount under the gradual accumulation.

Many parents have decisively refused their children's requests, which has caused many children in families to cry.

However, even if they are rejected, children from ordinary families only need to grit their teeth, and they can also buy pocket money that they have accumulated for a month.

A month ago, not many people really understood what the so-called red and white machine was.

But a month later, red and white machines have become a familiar term, at least in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

If anyone has a red and white machine and the latest games, they will immediately become the darling of children.

Newspapers, television and other media also began to gradually appear the figure of red and white machines.

This is no longer an advertisement, at least Zhu Yuxing did not pay advertising fees.

And this once again increased the influence of the red and white machine.

At this moment in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., as several programmers and engineers who followed the development of the Super Baseball Game, their mood was a little uneasy.

In addition to the explanation and guidance of the game production by Take Yusei, the Super Baseball Tournament is basically produced and completed by them independently.

They have absolutely no idea whether the game can sell well or not.

And the closer it gets to the release date, the more uneasy they feel.
