Chapter 75 New Business
Hayakawa Kentaro removed the old minister and replaced him with a new minister named Hayakawa Ueto, the youngest son of Hayakawa Kentaro. He is 35 years old and has been in charge of overseas business before.

Now that the overseas business was on the right track and he no longer needed his help, he was called back by his father to manage a new division called the Video Game Division.

To be honest, he really doesn't understand video games, even more confused than the old minister.

But this time Hayakawa Kentaro gave him a clear plan.

The marketing of video games and game consoles must be completely separated from the development, and cannot be confused with each other. The development of video games must be 100% respected. At the same time, we must learn from the red and white machines, accept third-party game production, and tap the potential of game production as much as possible. talent.

With these few rules, in fact, Hayakawa Zhiren can only manage the management team at most, plus the cooperation between the coordination groups.

The old minister was originally transferred from the Marketing Management Department, so now he is the deputy minister, and he will also be mainly in charge of marketing, and is not allowed to intervene in anything related to game production.

Marketing only needs to publicize the game product after getting it, and it is not allowed to interfere with any game creation.

The turning speed of Suri Electronics is extremely fast, and it was quickly readjusted in half a month.

The people in game development and console development were respected, and the drive immediately changed.

Now they don't have to be forced to make a game for a long time, but they also set a minimum upper limit, limiting their game team of more than 20 people to produce at least one game within three months.

At the same time, the manpower added again is to add a new game development team, but this development team has only one task, which is to tear down the game.

Disassemble all the game programs of the red and white machine from the inside to the outside, and see how to do it from scratch.

Surui Electronics is a large group. They are not afraid of failure, but they are afraid of not making progress after failure.

If it wasn't for this belief, Suri Electronics would not have developed into a large international group at all.

Meanwhile, outside Zhu Yuxing's office, a man in a suit sat on his seat with a confident smile, holding a thick document in his hand, waiting patiently.

It didn't take long for Zhu Yuxing's office door to open from the inside, and Zhu Yuxing's voice came out at the same time.

"You told the second engineering development team that the battery must be done well. This is the only thing that cannot be compromised. If Japan can't find a suitable product, it will look around the world."

"Okay boss, I understand."

A young engineer walked out of Zhu Yuxing's office and walked upstairs quickly.

"Hello sir, you can go in now."

The man in the suit smiled and nodded at the assistant politely, then stepped into Zhu Yuxing's office.

"Hello, President Zhuyou, nice to meet you."

The person from the Second Engineering Development Department was just sent away, and the next person walked in immediately.

Zhu Youxing was really busy for the most part. He was busy with the company during the day, and now he only has the opportunity to study game development at night.

Seeing the people coming in, Zhu Youxing glanced at the guest list on the table.

"Is it Ishimura-san, the business manager of Kuppongi Entertainment Co., Ltd.?"

"Yes, my name is Ishimura Sanye, and I have entrusted Mr. Ota to contact you before."

Ishimura Sanye walked over to Zhu Yuxing's desk while introducing himself.

"Sit down, I heard that your company intends to participate in game development?"

"Yes, our company has been producing software systems for dance machines, pachinko, mobile karaoke machines and other equipment in the past, and we have certain experience in this regard."

As he spoke, he put the information in his hand on Zhu Yuxing's desk and pushed it over.

Zhu Yuxing picked up the document and began to look through it, while listening to the other party's introduction.

"We are also looking for business transformation recently, and want to make a breakthrough. Just when your company has developed and produced a game console product, and you are openly welcoming anyone to join in making games, we became interested."

"At the same time, didn't your company also add the first third-party game to your game console lineup not long ago? And those people are only halfway through, our company is thinking that maybe with our technical strength, it is also qualified to join. ."

Among the information that Ishimura Sanye handed over were all the basic information about their Kuppongi Entertainment Co., Ltd.

As he just introduced, it is a company that focuses on entertainment systems and software development, which is actually a relatively young industry in today's Japan.

"I welcome it very much." Zhu Yuxing closed the document and nodded. "Our game consoles do need more video games, and we also need more individuals or corporate groups to join this platform."

Ishimura Sanye said happily: "That's great, we have actually made demos of several games, but we can't run them on red and white machines without a license. Are there any requirements for us to obtain a license?"

Ishimura Sanye can be said to be the first foreign company that actively wants to join the red and white machine camp, so Ishimura Sanye does not know what conditions are required to obtain the authorization of the red and white machine.

"So fast?"

The action of this company is quite fast, Zhu Yuxing is a little surprised.

Zhu Yuxing thought for a moment and then asked, "What platform can your game run on now?"

"The PC platform is fine, and we plan to launch the game on the PC platform in the future, but you also know that the price of personal computers has not completely dropped, and there are still a small number of people who actually own personal computers. I think the focus must still be on game consoles. "

Computers in Japan are now generally more than [-] yen. Of course, if you want to save a second-hand mobile phone, it is no problem, and it will be half cheaper.

But if the average family has no special needs, just to play games, then obviously the game console is more cost-effective.

Now the red and white machine only costs [-] yen, and a game is [-] to [-].

Under Japan's strict copyright law, you can't escape spending money on genuine games and software when you buy a PC computer. It is really more cost-effective to buy a game console directly.

Especially after the bubble burst, people spend more carefully in all aspects.

Zhu Youxing nodded: "Then let me see the demo content first, and then we will make a decision."

"Okay, I've brought the demo content here."

Ishimura Sanye immediately took out a box of discs from his bag. The name of the trial game was recorded on the disc with a black marker. Just insert the disc into the computer and simply install it, then you can run it and try it out.
