MTL - Tokyo Video Game Tycoon-Chapter 30 "Home Entertainment Computer"

   Chapter 30 "Home Entertainment Computers"

   At 4:50 pm, this time period happens to be the peak period of the sub-supply program.

  The vast majority of children will watch their favorite programs on time in front of the TV at this time.

   However, in the past two days, what makes the TV station a little strange is that the sub-supplier program, which has always been very stable in ratings, has recently dropped a bit.

   Of course, the magnitude is very small, only about 0.1 percent.

   However, from the display on the online ratings map, it can be seen that the range of declining ratings is mainly concentrated in the main urban area of ​​Tokyo.

   What are these kids doing at this time? Are there any celebrations around? Haven't heard of it either.

   The TV station employees who broadcast the program are a little curious, but compared to the total ratings, this can only be said to be a painless change, and it will not make them panic.

   On the contrary, an advertisement inserted in the middle of the program by Zigong made them very interested.

The    advertisement begins with a scene of a group of children gathered around a TV, as if they were watching something intently.

  The children cheered from time to time, as if they had won something.

Then the commercial flashed, and the picture on the TV in the picture gradually enlarged. A pixel villain was bouncing through the mushrooms and jungles in the mountains. Occasionally, he met mushrooms and turtles who looked like monsters. With some cute monsters.

   "Freedom! Controllable!" Several large characters gradually flew out and filled the screen.

  In a very rhythmic electronic mix, the picture changes again.

   This time, a pixel villain walks on a slightly miniature map, and then the villain encounters monsters, fights with monsters, and finally saves the princess. The princess is grateful to the pixel villain.

   "You will be the hero who saves the princess!"

  The picture changed again, and the pixel villain became a muscular man with a machine gun in his hand, fighting the enemy to the death.

   "Will be a super agent too!"

   After the picture ended, a few more words became clearer and brighter.

   "You can play everything and be the master here!"

  FC type home TV entertainment computer, the ultimate playmate for children, both learning and entertainment, you can play as long as you want, you deserve it.

  FC type home TV entertainment computer will be officially released in a month, the price is 6999 yen, including Super Mario game, if you want to play other games, you need to buy it separately, welcome to buy.

   This thing does look like it's for kids.

   But the staff in charge of the TV show seemed equally interested.

   Obviously that picture looks a little childish.

   has an inexplicable attraction.

   Then, he glanced at the large number of 6999 yen on the screen.

   It seems... it's not very expensive, so just treat it as a cheap consumption.

   Now a brand new computer on the market is still maintained at at least 50,000 yen or more.

   And this home entertainment computer is only 6999, so it is not a big loss to buy it.

  It's a big deal, just make it a gift for your nephew.

   Meanwhile, many adults who are watching TV have very similar thoughts.

   And those kids outside Tokyo who didn't know about red and white machines, when they saw this commercial on the TV show, their eyes widened.

   They don't care what computers are not.

  What they care about is the colorful picture inside.

Although    is not as good as the animation effect, the focus is on the first few words.

  Freedom and controllable.

  I can play any role, that means I can be a hero? become superman?

  In the hearts of children, in fact, most of the biggest dreams are to instantly become the person they want to become.

   Scientists, astronauts, agents, superman, preferably Koshien Superman, and you can also become the hero who saves the princess!

   Just thinking about it is super fun!

   When children get together, they are often role-playing.

   They will choose which children will play the villain and which children will play the hero, and then have fun.

   But there is a limit. Children cannot control other people's choices. Some children have not had enough fun, and other children will leave early for various reasons.

   However, this computer doesn't seem to have this limitation, you can play as long as you want.

   "Mom (Dad)! I want this! This and this!"

   Those mothers who are preparing dinner, or fathers who have just rested after get off work, hear this sound, and they can't help but feel distressed for their wallets.

   But when they looked up at the price, they thought for a moment, and nodded slightly.

   "Bought this, you won't have any extra pocket money this month."

"Uh-huh!"

The price of   6999 is still within the acceptable range, after all, it is not up to 7,000.

   In a normal family in Japan, such consumption is still affordable.

   If you can make the kids happy, that's fine too.

   Usually a child clamoring for a slightly more expensive toy is about the same price.

   Of course, the price is that many children will have much less pocket money this month.

   In addition to these, there will definitely be people who are unwilling to buy them for their children, but this is not important.

   Zhu Yuxing turned off the TV and leaned on the sofa contentedly.

   He was quite satisfied with the production of this ad.

   This is an advertisement that he took time to come up with. It is very simple and straightforward. It was created from the thinking of later generations of advertisements.

  The effect of highlighting the key points of later advertising is often the most effective.

   Hayazawa Airi was sitting on the sofa one meter away from Zhu Yuxing, holding her thigh in one hand and an apple in the other, her mouth bulging.

   "Bamboo Yusang, how much do you think we can make?"

   Zhu Yuxing shook his head: "I can't answer you, but I should be able to at least pay back."

   Hayasawa Airi was full of worries: "But there is still a lot of advance money. If you really lose money, you will be bankrupt."

  Zhuyouxing said nonchalantly, "What's the matter, I'll bite the old man."

   "You rich people are really enviable, even if you go bankrupt, there are people who will make up your mind."

   Hayazawa Airi took a bite of the apple, with a bit of hatred in his eyes, as if the apple was Take Yusei.

   "You can rest assured that your salary and the salary of other employees will not be less at all, at least the employees I can guarantee."

   "Huh? I didn't mean that, but of course it's good if you give money."

   Failure is nothing, Zhu Yuxing doesn't care, it's not entirely because he has his parents in this world, and his advanced vision from another world.

  It’s hard to say anything else, it’s not a problem for people who pass through to make some money.

   I failed this time, the big deal is to regroup, wait until I save some money and then make a comeback.

   Besides, he was basically sure that at least he would not lose money.

  It is just the effect of word of mouth among the children. It is basically no problem to earn back the full amount of advertising fees and circuit boards paid in the early stage.
