Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 58 The storm is coming
  "Hello, Minister!"

Miyano Miwa appeared at the door, and everyone in the conference room, including Fuyukawa Che, stood up and bowed.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

With frost still hanging on his face, Miyano Miwa said coldly, shifting his gaze from Fuyukawa Teru, and then twisted the size 93 plump peach under the hip-covering skirt to the top.

There was silence in the conference room, except for the sound of high heels tapping on the tiles, cold and sharp.

It seems that she is not ready to give in.

As everyone sat down together, Dongchuan Che lowered his eyes.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the meeting, each group leader reported the progress of each group's current game, and the female secretary reported the sales data of "Life and Death Fight" on the first day it was released.

At the head of the long table, Miyawa Miyano, who had been crossing her elegant legs, leaned forward slightly, with a cold glint in her beautiful eyes, and her red lips whispered: "Second Chief Yamanaka, regarding this sales volume of 4,000 sets, what do you think should be done in the future? deal with?"

I'm coming!

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell silent. Everyone, including Fuyukawa Che, moved their eyes to the first person on the left, looking at the bald old man in a golden suit.

To be honest, if it had been before, even if Miyano Miba wanted to engage Deputy Chief Yamanaka, everyone present would not have such a big reaction. After all, it was normal for leaders to beat their subordinates, but the situation is different now.

A few days ago, before "Life and Death Fight" was released, Deputy Chief Yamanaka went to see Miyano Miwa.

There is no other reason than hoping to increase publicity and marketing expenses.

The internal beta test results of "Life and Death Fighting" were very poor, but this game is an old IP. If you spend a lot of money on marketing, it may be able to make a big splash.

Just like 2077, although the gameplay and reputation have been restored due to subsequent patches and updates, this game was a piece of shit when it was first released. However, because of the huge amount of money poured into the publicity and development department, although 2077's reputation exploded, it was not released at the first release. Sales are actually very, very good.

Thirteen million units were sold within ten days of release, and the global revenue was 7.8 million US dollars. The sales volume far exceeded the launch of "The Witcher 3". Even new players who entered the game on the day of launch through pre-orders and watching the promotional video have already made money. 1.2 million US dollars in research and development, plus more than 1.2 million US dollars in publicity and distribution expenses!

A semi-finished game can pay back its investment in ten days after deducting the platform’s share, or even make huge profits!

This is the charm of sky-high price marketing!
  Of course, there is also the reputation gained by the Polish Jackass from The Witcher 3, but "Life and Death Fighting" is also an old IP of fighting games. As long as the publicity and distribution expenses are increased, the sales volume will definitely not be as bad as it is now.

However, everything comes with a price.

If it weren’t for the follow-up work of the 2077 production team, which basically provides a small update every week and a big patch every month, the reputation of 2077, including the Polish Jackass game company, in the player circle would be ruined.

Obviously, not to mention that the upper limit of 3D fighting games is not as high as that of games such as 2077, and it will be difficult to attract more players with subsequent fixes. Miyano Miwa originally did not want to continue making fighting games. It was impossible. Keeping so many people at Firefly Studio to work on patches later, and using internal resources, is tantamount to giving up Deputy Chief Yamanaka. Both sides have completely lost their skin!
  Deputy Chief Yamanaka also knew that he could still sit in the first place on the left hand now. It was not because Miyano Miwa was merciful, but because the board of directors intervened!

There is nothing to be polite about. Deputy Commander Yamanaka looked directly at Miyano Miwa with his eyebrowless and fierce eyes. He stood up and bowed to everyone: "I'm very sorry, Yinghuo has let you down this time! As the team leader of Yinghuo, as a member of the team, A veteran employee of Department 4 who has been working for 31 years has caused Department 4 to have such a failure and made Department 4 embarrassed in front of colleagues in the industry. Please allow me, Yuta Yamanaka, to sincerely apologize to colleagues! Private Marseille!"

With a roar, Deputy Commander Yamanaka took a step back, stood upright, and bowed at 90 degrees, with his head almost parallel to the table.

Best regards!

Japanese bows have different meanings depending on the angle. A bow of about 15 degrees is used to greet colleagues when they meet and greet each other. This kind of bow is called "huibo". A bow of about 30 degrees is more formal. The bows used in Japanese dramas when talking about work are like this. kind.

The last one is the ninety-degree bow that Vice-Chairman Yamanaka is currently doing. This is called the "most salute" in Japan. It can be said to be the most sincere attitude to express sincerity except for Dogeza, not to mention that Vice-Chairman Yamanaka is still everyone present. The oldest one among them!

Japan is a society that places great emphasis on seniority. For him to be able to do this, he has indeed completely put down his face.

but
  "coming soon."

Everyone present was silent, and their expressions even became more solemn, including Fuyukawa Cheru, whose eyes were fixed on the bald head of Yamazaka's deputy. Heavy rains are often preceded by clouds and thunder.

After bowing, Deputy Chief Yamanaka raised his head and glared at Miyano Miwa: "The responsibility for the violent death in "Life and Death Fight" belongs to me, Yamanaka, and I have no complaints about it. However, I want to ask Minister Miyano, Have you decided to completely abandon the legacy of the Four Parts and give up fighting games?"

Thunder breaks out from the ground!
  As soon as the words "give up on fighting games" came out, the faces of several team leaders present, including these key employees, became much more serious, and they looked at Miyano Miwa with a gloomy expression.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room was about to reach freezing point in an instant!

As expected, he is a seasoned person, and he gets right to the point when he opens his mouth. Dongchuan Che frowned slightly. If Yamanaka is messing around at this time, or forcibly dumps the blame for the game's failure on Miyano Miwa, it won't make much sense, and he may even look like a clown, but
  The four games are mainly about fighting games, and the inheritance is vague. There are people who pay attention to them, but not too many.

The key is profit!
  Although most people know that Miyano is opening up a new track, he will gradually downplay the fighting game aspect step by step. But let’s downplay it. There is indeed no market for fighting games now. As long as they don’t lose their jobs, less performance bonuses are not a problem. Moreover, most employees are not as old as Yamanaka, so there is still room for transformation in the future.

But Yamanaka now directly said that Miyano Miwa will ax fighting games and stop doing them at all!
  You can no longer be a bastard, you must either transform quickly, or get out of the fourth department, go to another department and start over from scratch, or even be transferred out of the Akihabara headquarters!

Vital interests are damaged. This is an irreconcilable fundamental contradiction!
  "If he dares to say this, there must be people following him who will praise him!"

Unless a slap is fast enough to create a sonic boom, it will not make a sound when it hits the air. As long as Miyano Miwa casually fools around, the matter will be over.

Just when he thought of this, under the gaze of Fuyukawa Teru, a tall, thin man with glasses sitting next to him said: "Minister Miyano, I heard that yesterday you submitted to the board of directors [lowering the distribution weight of "Life and Death Fight" to C Level] document, is that right?”
