Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 25 Dragon Quest

  The next day, Hayasawa Airi woke up in a daze.

   Walking out of the bedroom, she once again saw Zhu Yuxing sitting on the chair in the living room and operating the computer, as if he was doing some work.

   "Boss, yawn, when did you get up?"

   "Me? A little earlier than you."

   Zhu Yuxing answered in a non-committal way.

   In fact he didn't sleep all night.

   But the energy is surprisingly good, and there are no major problems.

  In this case, Zhu Yuxing didn't want to give up this good opportunity, so he began to write the prototype of the next game at night.

   As for what the next game will be, Zhu Yuxing actually had a plan in his heart for a long time.

   There are about forty or fifty models of the most classic games in the red and white consoles. In addition to these classic games, in fact, the sales of games other than this can only be said to be average.

   Of course, any game that sells more than 100,000 copies on red and white machines basically makes money.

However, since Zhuyouxing is positioned to squeeze the value of the entire red and white machine from the beginning, then those whose sales are less than one million do not need to be considered for the time being, at most they are supplements by the way, such as backgammon, chess This kind of.

   And the second game that Take Yusei plans to make is Dragon Quest.

   Thanks to his rich experience when he and his father played Xiaobawang when he was young, he almost played all the most classic games of the red and white machine.

   This makes him still remember many classic games of red and white machines no matter how many years have passed.

  Dragon Quest is one of them.

   In his memory, Dragon Quest is also a super-explosive IP that is popular all over Japan.

   In the world of his previous life, it once became a phenomenon-level game.

The first generation of   Dragon Quest allows players to truly realize that the original game can still be played like this, that they can really play a hero to fight evil demons.

   Then it became popular all over Japan in the second generation.

  The third generation of Dragon Quest, which reached the level of crowds on the day of its release, became an indelible memory in Japanese history.

   Now, Zhu Yuxing plans to make Dragon Quest 1 first as an appetizer.

   Super Mario starts, Dragon Quest sells extra, and then writes a few games that are relatively simple and can also be supplemented with cheaper sales.

  It would be a bit too shabby for a game console to have only one or two starting games before its official release.

   Hayazawa Airi walked downstairs, then curiously leaned behind Take Yusei and looked at the contents in front of Take Yusei's computer.

  Programming isn't really pretty until it's completely done, and even laymen will only feel a bit confused.

  So Hayazawa Airi gave up after just a few glances, went to wash up, and started the day's work.

   "Bamboo Yusang, what do we do today? Will we continue to recruit employees?"

   "Today, you will continue to be a small supervisor, and I will be in charge of employee recruitment." Zhu Youxing said while saving the computer data and shutting down.

   The production of Dragon Quest is now halfway through.

Thanks to the direction of production already in his mind, the overall production speed did not take too long. He even did the dubbing himself. Anyway, it was all electronic synthesis and some simple rhythm composition. it is good.

   The people of this era do not have a particularly intuitive concept of music in video games, so the requirements are not too strict, and he can barely solve the problem of music based on memory.

   It’s just that I’m not very good at painting, so I can only find a professional to do it.

  The royal painter of Dragon Quest in the previous life was Akira Toriyama, and even though nothing has changed in the past 20 years, the style of Dragon Quest has become its iconic element.

   However, with the amount of money Zhu Yuxing himself has now, it seems that it will not be easy to find such a well-known painter.

   Hey wait…

   Take Yusei suddenly remembered something.

   I seem to be able to find such a royal painter.

   After half an hour, the two set off for the office building again.

  After one day of recruitment work yesterday, the number of employees who were initially responsible for the assembly of the game consoles has reached about 20 people.

  His plan was to have fifty or so employees.

  If the speed is fast enough, one employee can assemble more than 20 units a day, so fifty people a day is nearly a thousand units assembled.

   One month is 30,000.

   However, Zhu Yuxing couldn't be satisfied with this at all.

   He has to find a way to expand the production line process even more, either find a real assembly factory or build one himself.

   However, it is not a big problem to deal with the early stage.

Today's day's recruitment work and decoration work went smoothly. Zhuyouxing recruited more than 20 employees responsible for assembly in the whole day, and the progress of decoration is basically completed, and the rest is to do it again tomorrow. Acceptance, you can basically get everything.

   At the same time, Hirohito Tomoda also sent a message telling him that the price of 650 yen could be finalized, and Zhu Yuxing only needed to pay a 5% deposit in the early stage.

   Originally, according to the company's rules, at least 10% must be paid first.

   However, under the persuasion of Hirohito Zhitian, the company's boss finally agreed to a 5% deposit.

  Because this is a very rare order, if you don't show enough sincerity, Zhu Yuxing may find a new company at any time.

   After confirming the deposit, the factory immediately started the production process, and all the processes were simplified, because Zhu Youxing specifically requested that he had a batch of goods that needed to be released in advance, and the factory had to be in a hurry.

   Fortunately, the circuit board itself is not complicated, and it only needs a simple factory work to start working.

  Take Yuxing also contacted the plastic shell factory, and the final price was maintained at a cost of only 400 yen for a set of game console shells and accessories.

In this way, the main board of the game console is 650 yen, plus the shell of 400 yen, and then an additional cost of about 700 yen for labor and rent, etc., the cost price is from the two preconceived. 1,500 yen was reduced to 1,750 yen.

   For this cost price, Zhu Yuxing feels that there is still room for compression, but it is acceptable now.

   And there are only three or four days left before the delivery date that Ota is negotiating with, which can be said to be just right.

  The sales of ten game consoles is 2 million yen, and then wait for another ten days to give his first partner Datian Zheng ample opportunities to make money, and then start the official second batch of game console sales.

   Up to now, everything is still in Take Yusei's plan.
