Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 299 Japan's retaliatory consumption

In the past two days, the employees at Youxing Electronic Entertainment headquarters were generally not in high spirits.

The forced open source of game consoles seems to be a certainty.

There doesn't seem to be any solution.

And this means that the games they develop next will hardly bring value.

So everyone is depressed.

It's not that if you can't make money, it means that the game is bad, it means that they have no value in themselves, but they will still be a little bit lost.

But Zhu Youxing was very indifferent.

At least with the backbone of Zhu Youxing, these people will not really collapse emotionally.

If it was an ordinary company, the boss might have already started to panic.

Seeing that Zhu Youxing was calm, they felt a little more at ease.

But today, Zhu Youxing suddenly called everyone together.

Every person in charge of the game development team can also be very calm.

They are also the backbone of the employees, as long as Zhu Youxing remains calm, they will not panic at all.

These people are now the backbone of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, developing many games.

"The atmosphere is a bit heavy." In the meeting room, Zhu Youxing smiled kindly.

Zhu Youxing said: "I know that you are not in a good mood recently, the source code of the game console is indeed fatal."

"President, is there no way to keep it private?"

"Of course." Zhu Youxing nodded, "That is to give up the US market and go to other countries to develop, but it would be a pity not to eat the big cake of the US market."

Hayazawa Airi couldn't help but ask at this time: "Then what do you think Takeyu?"

"It's worse to disclose the source code, but in fact we can take advantage of this opportunity in reverse. Piracy and cracking will indeed affect the revenue of video games, but in turn, piracy and cracking can also expand the user base. Sometimes you Owning the hearts of users first and then owning their money is also a good strategy.”

This is almost equivalent to the krypton gold mobile game of the later generations. First, the admission is free, and then you will cut your leeks when you find an opportunity.

However, this is obviously not particularly acceptable.

"Actually, I wanted to say a long time ago that our game consoles have gradually fallen behind the times. I have been waiting for this opportunity. Now, we should consider launching a new console."

"President, do you mean GS1 and GBA?" Everyone's hearts moved.

In the past two years, the two game consoles have been polished very well, but without the permission of Zhu Youxing, they did not dare to announce it casually, and everything is waiting for Zhu Youxing to speak.

In fact, they have long been looking forward to the announcement of the two game consoles.

Listening to what Zhu Youxing said now, it seems that the time has finally come?

Each of them regained their spirits.

"President, do you mean to completely abandon the previous old console market? Then open up a new console? But even if we develop a new console, what if the United States imposes sanctions again?"

Zhu Youxing smiled: "So, we have to wait until the new rules are fully finalized and implemented by the United States. At that time, if the United States wants to change the rules, it needs to revise the bill again with great fanfare. The price is actually not low. , At the same time, to use rough words to describe it, the US government is also shameless. It uses relatively indecent means to deal with an entertainment company. They will lose their prices, and the public will question the government's management capabilities. Take your time."

"President, that is to say, they won't do this kind of thing again?"

"At least in the short term, I won't do it again. That would be too demeaning for a big country."

Zhu Youxing was indeed prepared for the sanctions imposed by the United States, but he never told outsiders directly.

Because no matter how it sounds, there is a little bit of premonition metaphysics, how could Zhu Youxing predict that the United States will punish a wave.

Now there is no need to explain.

They only feel that Zhu Youxing is very far-sighted.

"So, please rest assured, but if the new regulations in the United States are not fully implemented, our game consoles cannot be made public. The illusion of money, so I may have to trouble you for the rare overtime."

Zhu Youxing looked at everyone seriously.

"Thank you for your dedication to the company. The company will definitely not treat you badly. You need to work hard during this period. Of course, I will stand on the same line with you."

Zhu Youxing's words encouraged everyone.

They didn't know what Zhuyouxing's plan was before, they were just at a loss.

But it's different now.

Now that Zhuyouxing has helped them clarify their direction, and it sounds like it is indeed feasible, their hearts have stabilized.

As long as the main personnel developed by these companies are not in chaos, Youxing Electronic Entertainment will not be shaken in the slightest.

In the past few days, because of the incident of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the United States, Japanese newspapers and media rushed to report.

The general reaction of the people is hostility towards the United States.

They were entrapped by the United States before, and it was the direct culprit that caused the bubble to burst. This time, the United States is attacking their Japanese companies again, which has aroused a certain feeling of hatred and hatred.

Since the U.S. will no longer be able to make money, in order to avoid the rising star of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, a Japanese company, the public began to spontaneously spend money to buy Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's game consoles and cassettes.

And still with a little retaliatory consumption mentality.

You Americans want to crush our national enterprises, we absolutely cannot agree.

In this way, the sales of the two handhelds and the two game consoles in Japan have skyrocketed.

Originally, the number of users in the Japanese market was only about tens of millions, and the subsequent growth began to become a little slow.

But because of this incident, the number of users began to surge.

Originally, the price of the game console itself was not particularly expensive, and normal families in Japan would have enough spare money to buy it.

In the end, the sales of those old games like FC's first ones started to increase dramatically, and those first-party games that hadn't broken millions of sales before broke through one after another.

Because the prices of these games are indeed quite cheap now, a cassette is only 500 yen, which is definitely something that can’t be bought at a disadvantage and can’t be fooled.

Then after these people buy the game and experience it for a while, they will find that video games are really interesting, as long as they don't get addicted to it, it's really cost-effective to treat it as entertainment.

This is much cheaper than going out to Ginza for a drink or a Japanese French meal.

In such a state, the inventory of Youxing Electronic Entertainment was quickly consumed, and some cassettes with low sales volume were out of stock.
