Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo-Chapter 891: No title

As everyone gathered and noisily discussed, Myron Case had already appeared at the front of the hall, looking at the crowd.

"Shh, the boss is here!"

Everyone immediately went silent and turned to look at Myron Case.

Myron Case saw countless employees in the audience, most of them being the backbone of the company, the core members of the R&D department.

And today, his meeting was related to R&D.

At the same time, he noticed many members of the management team and several shareholders who had come to see what he was planning to do.

These shareholders saw that Myron Case was about to hold a large meeting, so they decided to come early and find out what it was all about.

When everyone had quieted down, Myron Case finally spoke in a deep voice, "Everyone, I'm sure many of you have played a video game called Final Fantasy 7 Remake recently, right?"

"Uh... Why is the boss bringing this up?"

"Is he going to reprimand us? After all, this game was developed by a competitor. By playing it, we're basically giving money to our competitors."

"No, no, definitely not. The boss gave us permission to play Final Fantasy 7 Remake, so it's impossible that he's going to reprimand us for it."

"Then why is he bringing it up?"

On the stage, Myron Case could hear some people whispering, and he already had an idea. "It seems that many of you have played this game. Now, I want to ask how you felt about it. Do you really enjoy this kind of game?"

"Should we just say it out loud?"

"Maybe we shouldn't. If we say it, the boss might get really upset."

The room fell silent for a moment, and Myron Case smiled, "You can speak freely. I'm not asking you to do anything. I just want to hear your honest thoughts on the game. And the reason I'm asking is that I've finally made a decision. I also want to develop a game as excellent as Final Fantasy 7, but I need a reason to make this game."

"What?"

"Did we hear that right? The boss wants to develop a game like Final Fantasy 7?"

"That's impossible! Final Fantasy 7 is one of the best games in the world. No game developer with experience in this kind of game would be here with us. How could the boss suddenly want to develop such a game?"

"Looks like the boss is really desperate. He wants to create a game that can win over players' hearts."

"Now that you mention it, it makes sense. Video game players are growing in number, and whenever people think about video games, the first thing that comes to mind is Gamestar Electronic Entertainment. Other companies are second. Just the reputation alone is enough for Gamestar to make a fortune."

At this point, an employee gathered the courage to stand up and take the microphone, saying, "Boss, can I speak honestly?"

"Speak freely, say whatever you want. Right now, I just want to hear your true feelings about Final Fantasy 7 Remake."

"Boss, perhaps you weren't much of a gamer before, so you don't fully understand how much we loved Final Fantasy 7. Of course, it's not just Final Fantasy 7 Remake. If Gamestar released a Super Mario game or a Zelda game, or any other well-known Gamestar IP game, I'd be the first to buy it."

"Why is that?" Myron Case asked.

"Isn't it obvious? Because Gamestar is the king of video games!" the employee said proudly. "And those famous game IPs have always had a great reputation, so we're confident that we won't regret buying them. We play games to have fun, and we've always trusted that these games will never let us down."

The employee became more and more excited, expressing his thoughts as a passionate gamer. He even forgot for a moment that he was an employee of Mickford.

Meanwhile, several shareholders in the front of the room furrowed their brows.

It seemed that Myron Case was about to stir things up again.

The sales of Mickford's smartphones weren't exactly booming, but they were doing decently. The shareholders thought that Myron Case should stick to the current strategy of focusing on smartphone and system development and avoid venturing too much into video games.

"I have a question."

Finally, one shareholder couldn't help but stand up.

"Myron, don't you think it might be a little too late to start developing video games now? The video game industry is completely dominated by Gamestar Electronic Entertainment. Do you really think you can enter this field?"

"If we don't try, how will we know?" Myron Case replied. "I really want to give it a try because so many people love video games."

"And by the way, shareholders, I don't think you've been paying much attention to our company's revenue performance lately. Our smartphone sales have been declining year after year, and if we don't make some breakthroughs, I'm afraid the smartphone market will be entirely taken over by Gamestar Electronic Entertainment. Their alliance is already starting to push us into a crisis."

"Well, isn't our phone sales still alright?"

"That's just the surface. That's why I want to seek a breakthrough. I want to try developing video games. If I don't take some risks now, we might not have a place in the future."

"Haha, we can't approve this plan. Your game department has never had much success. If we invest more in it, we absolutely can't approve that."

If they suddenly decided to invest more in video games, their future earnings would definitely drop again. And it was clear that the video game industry was a bottomless pit—it seemed like no matter how much money they poured into it, it wouldn't yield much. Why would they want to continue investing more money?

"Well, let me say this: I still control this company. I have 51% of the shares. Do you really want to force me to use my voting power?"

"You..." Several shareholders were starting to get angry.

Myron Case had finally started to defy them.

And as he had said, he held the absolute power in the company, and they had no way of opposing him.

"Then maybe we'll consider selling our shares directly." The shareholders were getting more forceful.

After all, the company's recent development hadn't been great, so pulling out now seemed like a good idea.

"Hold on, what if I say that I'm willing to invest more into this game by releasing more shares? I'll use my shares to bring in more capital, and it won't affect you at all."
