Capítulo 30: Home entertainment computer
At four fifty in the afternoon, this time slot happens to be the peak period for children's programs.
The vast majority of children will be sitting in front of the television watching their favorite programs at this time.
However, what's been strange for the TV station in the past two days is that the viewership of children's programs, usually very stable, has been slightly declining recently.
Of course, the decrease is minimal, only around 0.1%.
But according to the display on the internet viewership map, the decline in viewership is mainly concentrated in the main urban areas of Tokyo.
What are these children doing at this time? Could there be some festival or event nearby? But I haven't heard anything about it.
The TV station employees in charge of broadcasting the programs are somewhat curious, but compared to the overall viewership, this can only be described as a minor change, not something to cause panic.
However, a commercial inserted in the children's program today caught their interest.
The commercial starts with a scene of a group of children gathered around a television, seemingly engrossed in watching something.
The children cheer from time to time, as if they've achieved some kind of victory.
Then, the commercial flashes, and the screen on the TV gradually zooms in, showing a pixelated figure jumping and navigating through mountains, mushrooms, dense forests, occasionally encountering mushroom-like creatures and turtles, and some strange yet cute monsters.
"Freedom! Controllability!" Several large words gradually fill the screen.
Set to a rhythmic electronic mixed music, the scene changes again.
This time, a pixelated figure is seen walking on a slightly smaller world map, then encountering monsters, battling them, and finally rescuing a princess, who gratefully offers herself to the pixelated figure.
"You will be the hero to save the princess!"
The scene changes again, the pixelated figure transforming into a muscular man holding a machine gun, engaging in a fierce battle with enemies.
"And also a super agent!"
After the scene ends, a few words gradually become clear and bright.
"You can play anything, become the master here!"
The FC-type home entertainment computer, the ultimate playmate for children, combining learning and entertainment, play as long as you want, you deserve to have it.
The FC-type home entertainment computer will be officially released in one month, priced at 6999 yen, including the Super Mario game. If you want to play other games, they need to be purchased separately. Welcome to buy.
This thing indeed seems to be designed for children to play.
But the employees responsible for TV program broadcasting also seem to be equally interested.
Although the scene looks somewhat childish.
But it has an inexplicable charm.
Then, they glanced at the large number 6999 yen displayed on the screen.
It doesn't seem... too expensive, just consider it as a cheap expense.
A brand new computer on the market now costs at least fifty thousand yen.
And this home entertainment computer is only 6999 yen, not a bad deal.
At worst, just consider it a gift for their own nephew.
At the same time, many adults watching the television have very similar thoughts.
And those children outside of Tokyo who are not familiar with the Family Computer, when they see this advertisement on TV, their eyes widen.
They don't care about whether it's a computer or not.
They care about the colorful images inside.
Although the visual effects are not as good as animated movies, the focus is on the initial appearance of those words.
Freedom, controllability.
I can play any role, which means I can be a hero? Become a superhero?
In the hearts of children, most of their biggest dreams are to immediately become the person they want to be.
Scientists, astronauts, agents, superheroes, preferably superheroes from Jazzyland, and they can also become heroes to save princesses!
Just thinking about it is super fun!
When children gather together when they're young, role-playing is often the main activity.
They'll decide which children play the bad guys, which children play the heroes, and then play to their heart's content.
But there are limits to that; children can't control other people's choices, and some children may not have finished playing, but others may leave early for various reasons.
However, this computer seems to have no such limitations; you can play for as long as you want.
"Mom (Dad)! I want this! This, this!"
The mothers preparing dinner or the fathers resting after work couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts when they heard this voice, feeling sorry for their wallets.
But when they looked up at the price and thought about it for a moment, they nodded gently.
"If we buy this, you won't have any extra pocket money this month."
"Mm-hmm!"
The price of 6999 yen is still acceptable, after all, it's not seven thousand.
In a normal Japanese family, such expenses are still manageable.
If it can make the children happy for a while, it's not bad.
Usually, a slightly more expensive toy that a child insists on buying is about this price.
Of course, the cost is that many children will have much less pocket money this month.
Apart from these, there will surely be things that many parents refuse to buy for their children, but that's not important.
Takayuki turned off the television, leaning contentedly on the sofa.
He's quite satisfied with the production of this advertisement.
This is an advertisement he made in his spare time, very simple and straightforward, created with the mindset of future advertisements.
The effect of highlighting the key points in future advertisements often works best.
At this moment, Sayuri was sitting on the sofa one meter away from Takayuki, holding her thighs with one hand and an apple in the other, puffing her cheeks.
"Takayuki-san, how much money do you think we can make?"
Takayuki shook his head: "I can't answer that for you, but at least we should be able to break even."
Sayuri was full of worry: "But there's still a lot of advance money. If we really lose money, you'll go bankrupt."
Takayuki shrugged indifferently: "So what? I can always rely on my parents."
"You rich people, it's really enviable. Even if you go bankrupt, someone will bail you out."
Sayuri took a big bite of the apple, casting a slightly resentful glance, as if the apple were Takayuki.
"You don't worry, your salary and the salaries of other employees won't be reduced by a single yen, at least I can guarantee the employees."
"Huh? I didn't mean that, but it's also nice to give money, of course."
Failure doesn't matter, Takayuki doesn't care, partly because he has the backing of his parents in this world, and partly because of his foresight from another world.
It's not entirely problematic for someone who's crossed over to make some money.
If this fails, he can always regroup and start over after saving some money.
Besides, he's already basically sure that he won't lose money.
Just the word-of-mouth effect from those children is enough to cover the upfront advertising fees and the full payment for the circuit boards.
