Capítulo 138: Social trend
Facing Matsuki's question, Takayuki was visibly stunned for a moment, but quickly remembered what had happened today, then just smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said, just one guy was a bit rude."
"Is it that composer who left?"
"Yeah, let him go, I don't want to bother with him. By the way, find some good office space for me recently. The company has expanded, and we need a new office location. When we earn more money in the future, we can buy a building directly."
Suddenly, Takayuki remembered a joke: First-rate companies sell buildings, second-rate companies set standards, third-rate companies make products.
What level is my plan to buy a building?
The promotion of the new console SFC is still ongoing. Now, apart from most TV stations not broadcasting game ads, all other places where ads can be placed are flooded with SFC ads.
Moreover, each ad is slightly different, using the latest graphics of the game as the ad cover, and then labeling it with SFC's promotional tagline.
Common advertising phrases like "a more realistic world" or "a brand new experience" are used.
Suirui Electronics used to occupy a certain share, but under the overwhelming bombardment of ads, the sales speed of PN game consoles dropped crazily again.
The entire Japanese market seems to be at Takayuki's beck and call.
Finally, after another month of continuous advertising onslaught, SFC was officially released amidst much anticipation.
Its release day once again brought unprecedented excitement.
"Ladies and gentlemen in front of the TV, I am a reporter from Tokyo TV News. I am currently at a game console sales store in Minato Ward. As you can see behind me, there are crowds of people queuing up, and they are all here for the release of SFC today."
From the TV screen, you could see a bustling crowd behind the reporter. It was already late spring, and the weather was gradually getting warmer.
The enthusiasm of the players became even hotter under these circumstances.
However, even with so many people, there was still order.
Of course, not because these people were particularly cultured.
Mainly because every few tens of meters, there was a guy in a suit, 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build and wearing sunglasses, standing there looking like a super fighter.
They were specially hired temporary security personnel, the most expensive kind.
At some key sales locations, Takayuki spared no expense, increasing the order maintenance efforts during the first few days of SFC's release.
Even if there were really troublemakers, it would obviously not be wise at this time.
The game console was officially released during this process, and players who bought SFC for the first time felt like they had obtained a treasure, joyfully carrying their consoles back home.
And those who were still in line would look at those who had bought the game with envy as they left.
The lucky one who bought the console first was fortunate enough to be interviewed, seemingly attracting attention for a short time, making this player very happy.
Japanese economic news editor Tian Chong was among the crowd.
Today, he had only one task, which was to buy the game console and experience the latest game graphics at home.
From time to time, Tian Chong could see some familiar faces, who turned out to be his colleagues or relatives and friends.
Oh? You're here too.
Oh? You play video games too? What a coincidence, I never noticed before.
Yeah, yeah, come to think of it, isn't it during working hours now?
Ahahaha, yeah, I took the day off. What about you?
Of course, I took the day off too!
For a moment, the atmosphere was friendly, and players greeted each other kindly.
When their friends finally bought the game console, they would congratulate each other and wish each other success in buying the console.
And friends would also make appointments to play together.
Nowadays, the sales channels for game consoles are no longer limited to a few shops.
Even large supermarkets also sell the latest SFC, and there are also astonishing queues there.
But they definitely can't compare to authorized stores in terms of numbers.
At this moment, Tian Chong felt a little dazed.
He seemed to remember that it was around this time last year when he first came into contact with video games.
It was when his child took him to buy one.
Since then, it's been unstoppable.
Video games have truly become a bridge for communication between him and his child.
He is really grateful for video games.
Hmm? It's my turn!
When Tian Chong realized that he was almost at the front of the line, he finally regained his spirits.
This time, he had been in line all day again, but he wasn't tired at all, and he was even energetic.
Especially as his queue gradually approached the counter.
"Hello, sir, what would you like to purchase?"
"I want the latest SFC, and also, also, the game cartridges for Super Mario World and Contra 3."
"Okay, sir."
"Oh wait, I still have old versions of the cartridges. I need to replace them all with the latest ones."
"This... I'm very sorry, sir. Because there are too many customers replacing cartridges, our stock is completely exhausted, so you'll need to wait for a while. Please understand."
"Still can't replace them? Never mind, it's not a big deal. Just give me the latest game console quickly, and we can negotiate the rest."
"Okay, sir, one SFC console, 8,000 yen, Contra 3 cartridge, 6,000 yen, Super Mario World, 6,000 yen. That's 20,000 yen, just right, sir. Thank you for your patronage."
As he handed over the money, Tian Chong felt a bit heartbroken.
This was his private little treasury, and he had gone to great lengths to hide this money. Now he had to start saving again, hoping that the games he wanted wouldn't be released too soon.
In fact, his wife had already thoroughly investigated his little treasury.
It's just that his wife didn't mind, otherwise, his little treasury would have been gone long ago.
Spending 20,000 yen was heartbreaking, but in the blink of an eye, he became sunny and cheerful.
Even though it was already past seven o'clock, even though he had been queuing since early in the morning until now, he didn't complain at all.
As long as he could buy the game console, everything was worth it.
In such a lively atmosphere, even the reporters from TV stations couldn't sit still.
Such good news material couldn't be broadcasted, which obviously damaged the image of their TV station. Not broadcasting such a social hot topic, it seems your news program is also rotten. We're ready to give up your TV station.
If there's a loss of audience due to this, it would be a big loss.
