Chapter 194: Visit to the United States
"Mom, our whole family can go to Hawaii together."
"Mom, I think I may have found my goal, although it might be challenging in the future, but I'm very happy."
"Mom, will you be happy?"
"Happy, Mom is very happy, as long as you're happy, Mom is happy."
On the television, a heartwarming scene of Taiga Oono and his mother unfolded before the audience.
The topic of family affection, like love, is timeless.
Especially when a young person who has experienced lows in life rises again, embarks on new developments, and even has the opportunity to travel abroad with his parents, Taiga Oono suddenly transformed from a frivolous otaku to a successful and enviable individual.
This is three parts packaging, seven parts truth.
But the audience doesn't care about these, they just need to be moved.
Similarly, this also brought very positive effects to electronic games.
People who were previously somewhat opposed to electronic games as mere entertainment products are no longer so averse. At least they will seriously consider electronic games instead of simply hating them.
Of course, sales of electronic games and consoles are naturally soaring.
Companies like Surii Electronics, seeing the success of Gamestar Electronic Entertainment's challenge mode, naturally also want to create similar challenge modes. However, following too closely might be seen as imitating, so they plan to take it slow for now.
In fact, this promotion of electronic games not only boosted the sales of Gamestar Electronic Entertainment.
Players who are not satisfied with just one game also hope to have more games, so naturally, some people are gradually becoming dual-console or multi-console owners.
The entire gaming industry is developing in a positive direction.
And so, time quickly came to the eve of Christmas.
After a month of vigorous promotion, coupled with special Christmas promotions, sales of the Red and White machines also surged, and they were not far from reaching tens of millions in sales.
But at this point, Takayuki's focus is no longer on Japan.
As long as Japan maintains steady growth, the company's main business won't falter.
Just relying on various excellent electronic games from the previous life can sustain the business for a dozen years.
At this time, Takayuki's focus is more on the United States.
After the New Year, Takayuki plans to head to the United States.
This is Gamestar Electronic Entertainment's first participation in the International Consumer Electronics Show.
Whether in his previous life or this life, Takayuki has never been to such an event. Naturally, he wants to experience the atmosphere of this era firsthand.
This exhibition is the compass for future electronic products. Countless products that will shine in the future will be showcased at this exhibition.
"Takayuki, I also really want to go, can you take me with you? The engineering department won't have any major issues for the next ten days, so can I go with you?"
At Takayuki's home, as he was sorting out a few changes of clothes, he kept hearing Sayuri repeat her desire to go to the United States with him.
Going abroad, especially to a superpower like the United States, Sayuri is very eager.
She naturally doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
Finally, Takayuki was a bit helpless. He said, "Okay, okay, if you want to go, then come with me. It just happens that you'll have someone to accompany you."
"Yeah! Finally convinced you! Wait... did you say it just happens that we have someone to accompany us?"
"Yes, there's someone else coming along. She said she wants to visit her alma mater."
"Is it... Aya Tsukino?" Sayuri asked cautiously.
"Yes, since you two live together, with you around, I don't have to worry too much about the safety of you two girls. You can take care of each other. I might be busy in the United States most of the time, and won't have much time to look after you two."
Sayuri fell silent for a while, seeming to want to say something, but in the end, she didn't say it.
"Well then."
Suddenly Sayuri seemed a bit disinterested.
As for Takayuki, he took the opportunity to finish packing his clothes and then booked tickets for tomorrow and set off.
But Sayuri's low spirits only lasted for a while. The next day, when she was preparing to board the plane, she regained her cheerful demeanor and even enthusiastically offered to help Takayuki with his luggage.
Of course, Takayuki couldn't agree. They drove to Aya Tsukino's house first, picked her up, and then headed to the airport together.
It's strange.
In the past, Aya Tsukino was very resistant to others getting too close to her.
But recently, she's obviously not as resistant as before.
Or maybe her resistance varies depending on the person.
Strangers trying to get close are definitely not allowed, but Sayuri and Takayuki seem to have no major problems now. It's perfectly okay for them to be close for a short period of time.
Does this mean that Aya Tsukino's strange condition is also improving?
It's always been said that this is just a psychological condition, as long as the mental barrier is overcome, there should be significant improvement.
"Aya, did you often go out when you were in the United States?"
"No, when I was at Stanford, I would only stay in the lab, dormitory, cafeteria, and classroom. I wouldn't go anywhere else because it had no appeal to me."
"Then let's go sightseeing together when we're in the United States!"
"I'm not used to wandering around... I feel like it would be tiring... But if you really want to, it's okay."
"Wow, that's great! Our plane will land directly in Las Vegas. How about we go to the casino first? I heard that's also a scenic spot."
At this time, Takayuki, who was resting with his eyes closed, entered the conversation, "Sightseeing is fine, but stay away from gambling. It's pointless."
Sayuri waved her hand, "I'm not interested either, I just want to see what the world's largest casino looks like."
Aya Tsukino also seemed somewhat tempted, so she nodded in agreement.
Then Sayuri began to detail all the places she particularly wanted to visit, speaking in a very excited manner.
Seeing that the two of them had already made plans to travel to the United States, Takayuki had no intention of interrupting. But he had to remind them to be careful and stay safe. Going to a foreign country where they are not familiar with the surroundings, it's always better to be cautious, and if necessary, discreetly hire a few bodyguards from Matsubashi Real Estate to protect them. Just Sayuri alone, Takayuki feels it's unreliable.
Of course, it may also be Takayuki being overly cautious, but at this point, they can afford it. Sayuri and Aya Tsukino are the most valuable assets of the company now, both outstanding employees. Increasing their protection is definitely not a problem.
