บท 471: Amazing statistics
Takayuki doesn't seem to have much interest in this almost entirely raw food, but Asakusa's vice head seems very enthusiastic.
He came here and ordered several signature sashimi dishes directly, including fugu sashimi.
This thing itself is highly toxic, although it's basically safe if handled properly. Moreover, this is a very famous store, they wouldn't risk their reputation, but it still made Takayuki feel a bit uncomfortable.
Sure enough, he still prefers simpler foods like octopus balls. Up to now, he hasn't really liked the so-called high-end cuisine here in Japan.
"Mr. Takayuki, this is the precious sake I brought over. Please taste it."
Asakusa is very enthusiastic, completely without the air of a deputy head of a government agency.
Or rather, there are few people who can make Asakusa lose his air. Takayuki is one of them.
Asakusa personally pours sake for Takayuki.
Takayuki is his benefactor, so it's worth it to do this for him.
"Asakusa Vice Head, you don't need to be so polite."
Takayuki also declines politely, but the other party is really too enthusiastic, maybe he really helped him a lot.
He's getting older, and it's really not easy to get promoted at this age. So he's even more grateful to Takayuki.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Takayuki gets straight to the point and tells Asakusa his thoughts.
"Asakusa Vice Head, this time I want to obtain the right to use a piece of land. I checked before, and that piece of land also belongs to the Japanese government. This right to use is only temporary. I want to hold a carnival."
"Oh?" Asakusa is very interested. "What kind of carnival? Similar to the street festivals?"
Takayuki nods. "Kind of similar, but with some differences. Because this carnival will be targeted only at our company, of course, I think it might also benefit the government in some ways."
Takayuki's words make Asakusa even more interested. He immediately asks, "Can I understand the specific process?"
Takayuki came prepared and directly takes out a map he's already prepared and shows it to Asakusa.
"I plan to start by renting out this sports field for a week. Originally, it was meant to celebrate our company's tenth anniversary, but then I thought maybe we could make this event more grand, not just inviting some celebrities to participate. I want to make this tenth-anniversary celebration an unforgettable memory for the players, so I changed the plan."
Takayuki points to a large open space next to the sports field.
"Here, I want to rent it temporarily. Of course, I'll pay for it. But if possible, I hope the government can help promote it, like the previous cultural industry revitalization plan."
"It's not easy for the government to promote your company like that," Asakusa says, shaking his head slightly.
This would affect fairness to some extent. The government can't spend so much effort on one company.
Asakusa is very grateful to Takayuki, but he can't directly agree to such a thing.
At this point, Takayuki says, "Don't worry, Vice Head Asakusa, I haven't finished yet."
"For our company, this will be an unforgettable carnival celebration, but I also think it's a good opportunity for the government to promote Japan to the world."
Asakusa squints slightly.
Takayuki's tone is quite bold.
Isn't he just trying to deliberately exaggerate the influence of his company and get the government to help promote it?
Actually, it's not impossible for the government to help promote. Now, Gamestar Entertainment is also considered a national flagship enterprise. But for a country to help promote a company's anniversary celebration is somewhat degrading, and others probably wouldn't agree to it.
But he still wants to hear what Takayuki wants to say next.
"I know Vice Head Asakusa, you may have some doubts, but you'll change your mind after hearing what I'm about to say."
Takayuki takes out another data list.
"Vice Head Asakusa, take a look at this."
Asakusa immediately takes it over. He still treats Takayuki very well, not changing his attitude because of Takayuki's impudent requests.
He takes the data sheet and sees the title on the cover: Gamestar Entertainment's Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2002.
He's surprised.
Is this Gamestar Entertainment's annual financial report?
This is very important information.
Actually, Japan's tax authorities also have this data, but he's not part of the tax authorities, so naturally, he wouldn't have access to it. And tax authorities have an obligation to keep financial reports confidential for companies that pay taxes on time.
For other ordinary public companies, these financial reports are usually public. But Gamestar Entertainment is an exception among the world-famous companies.
It doesn't accept any external capital intervention and relies entirely on its own money to survive, only borrowing some money initially through bank guarantees, and has been steadily developing ever since.
Countless capitals wanted to invest in Gamestar Entertainment but could only envy Gamestar Entertainment for harvesting players' wallets time and time again, while they couldn't get a penny.
He immediately puts on his glasses and starts to seriously study the information in this data.
First, the information presented in the report shows the sales data of Gamestar Entertainment's game consoles during that year.
The SFC has been discontinued, with sales stopping at 87 million units, while the FC is still in production because the manufacturing cost of the FC console itself is terrifyingly low.
If it's a cheap, unpackaged retail version, it can even be sold for less than 1,000 yen.
Game consoles don't make much money anymore. A game console can make at most a little hard-earned money, a couple of hundred yen.
Yet this FC game console often has promotions, and Gamestar Entertainment loses money on promotions.
As for cartridges, it's even more needless to say. Often, it's buying a game console and getting a cartridge, but most of them are even cheaper versions of cartridges.
With today's technology, producing this thing is nothing.
If this were any other company, it probably would have discontinued it long ago, because this thing only makes enough money in a year to cover the cost of new game consoles, and the rest of the time, it's actually making a loss.
But Gamestar Entertainment still maintains this business. Because it believes that there are still many people who can't afford to play games. Or rather, it's precisely because of the fact that the prices are too low that many people buy the FC as an alternative to toys.
This year's sales of the FC console alone are as high as 147 million units. If calculated at a market price of 1,000 yen, this is 147 billion yen, which is still quite a lot.
Of course, most of the people who bought these were children and the elderly, but even so, the sales of FC game consoles in one year were quite amazing.
The sales of the FC console have also increased compared to previous years.
Actually, Gamestar Entertainment's current market share in the console market is about 40%, with the others accounting for 20% and Suirui's accounting for the remaining 40%.
The sales of FC cartridges are also impressive, with a total of 342 million units sold, worth 34.2 billion yen.
It's easy to see that the FC's contribution to Gamestar Entertainment is still quite significant.
But if you look at the sales data of the new console, it's even more eye-catching.
Last year, Gamestar Entertainment released a brand-new handheld game console.
This handheld game console is very impressive. Its sales have reached 170 million units, with a market share of 43%.
This is a brand new market, but Gamestar Entertainment has gained a 43% market share in just one year, which is really amazing.
This handheld game console has completely opened up a new market. Although the main users are still children, there are also many adults who use it as a portable entertainment device.
The sales of cartridges for this handheld game console are also very good, with a total of 380 million units sold, worth 38 billion yen.
This new handheld game console has brought huge profits to Gamestar Entertainment.
In addition, Gamestar Entertainment also launched a new generation of home game consoles this year.
The sales of this new home game console are also very good, reaching 122 million units, with a market share of 36%.
The sales of cartridges for this home game console are also very good, with a total of 243 million units sold, worth 24.3 billion yen.
The new generation of home game consoles has brought huge profits to Gamestar Entertainment.
In total, Gamestar Entertainment's total sales this year reached 5.9 trillion yen, with a net profit of 2.8 trillion yen.
These figures are quite amazing.
Asakusa is deeply shocked.
He knows that Gamestar Entertainment is a very powerful company, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
Gamestar Entertainment's total sales of 5.9 trillion yen are almost equivalent to the total sales of all other Japanese companies combined.
And Gamestar Entertainment's net profit of 2.8 trillion yen is even more amazing. This net profit alone is enough to make Gamestar Entertainment one of the most profitable companies in the world.
Gamestar Entertainment's financial strength is simply unimaginable.
He really didn't expect that a game company could make so much money.
After reading the financial report, Asakusa is completely shocked.
He finally understands why Takayuki is so confident.
It turns out that Gamestar Entertainment is really too powerful.
Takayuki is not just bragging.
Asakusa looks at Takayuki in a completely new light.
He realizes that Takayuki is not just a simple game developer, he is a real business genius.
He immediately puts down the data sheet and says respectfully, "Mr. Takayuki, I'm sorry. I didn't expect Gamestar Entertainment to be so powerful. I underestimated you before."
Takayuki smiles and says, "It's okay, Vice Head Asakusa. I'm used to it."
Asakusa immediately says, "Don't worry, Mr. Takayuki. I will do my best to help you."
Takayuki nods and says, "Thank you, Vice Head Asakusa. I appreciate it."
Asakusa immediately says, "No problem, Mr. Takayuki. It's my pleasure."
Then the two of them start discussing the specific details of the carnival.
In the end, Asakusa agrees to help Takayuki promote the carnival.
Takayuki is very happy.
He knows that with the help of the government, this carnival will definitely be a great success.
He is very grateful to Asakusa.
Asakusa is also very happy.
He knows that by helping Takayuki, he can also gain some benefits.
He is also very grateful to Takayuki.
The two of them work together happily, planning the carnival together.
This carnival will definitely be an unforgettable memory for everyone.
Especially for Takayuki and Asakusa.
