Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Zhu Youxing said with a hint of confidence, "Believe me, at least half of those coin boxes are already full. If they aren't collected soon, players won't be able to continue playing tonight, which will really affect making money. Besides, I think some people will probably get restless today."

Upon hearing that she could get back the money she had earned, even though it didn't belong to her, Airi Hayazawa was still very interested.

"Wait for me!"

Airi Hayazawa dashed back to the bathroom in her bedroom, spent about half an hour getting herself ready, and then ran downstairs again.

"Let's go, boss, I'll drive!"

"it is good."

The first place that Zhu Youxing and his companion arrived at was the entertainment hall they had visited on the first day.

That place is also the closest to their home.

At this moment, around eight o'clock in the morning, Zhu Youxing discovered that at least a dozen children had gathered at the entrance of the entertainment hall.

The children's faces were slightly red from the cold, but this did not dampen their enthusiasm.

Many children eagerly awaited the opening of the entertainment hall.

"Wow, so many people! Those kids must all be here for our game consoles, right?"

Zhu Youxing casually replied, "Probably."

Airi Hayazawa opened her eyes wide, looking somewhat surprised.

In her memory, there weren't this many children when the park opened for trial use.

At least one-third of these children learned about video games through word of mouth, and out of curiosity and a desire to join in, they came along to see what those supposedly incredibly fun game consoles were like.

"Let's go inside first."

As Takeyusei and Hayazawa Airi got off the bus, some of the children immediately recognized them, and several of them excitedly ran up to Takeyusei.

"Ah! Big brother and old lady."

"Hey kid, explain yourself! Who's the 'Auntie'?!"

"Um... Big sister."

"Big brother, are there more Super Mario games? We spent all day yesterday queuing to play, but we could only play for a few minutes each time. We really want to play more!"

The children looked on with anticipation, hoping to hear the answers they wanted from Zhu Youxing.

"I'm sorry, there aren't any more yet. There are only a dozen or so designated locations to play at. But don't worry, the game consoles will be sold separately in the future, so you can buy them and play them at home. Also, I can give you a heads-up that in addition to Super Mario, there will be another new game to play."

A new game!

The children, who already knew about game consoles, had their eyes light up.

So this game console isn't just for playing Super Mario?

"That's great, big brother! You have to tell me where I can buy it, and I'll make sure my mom buys it right away!"

"Yes, I will definitely let you know when it's really time to buy."

After saying this, Takeyusei led Hayazawa Airi into the entertainment hall.

Guests cannot enter yet, but the manager has been notified in advance of Zhu Youxing's arrival, so they can come in directly.

At this moment, the bald shop manager had very mixed feelings.

His eyes were also surrounded by dark circles.

20,000 yen.

This is the revenue this game machine earned yesterday.

If we were to describe that young office worker from yesterday using modern internet slang, he would be incredibly incompetent.

Those kids can play at least three or four levels of Super Mario, averaging about five minutes.

However, young working professionals can only last an average of less than two minutes.

Then, he can spend more than 2,000 yen in an hour.

In the end, he spent nearly six thousand yen before the store manager couldn't take it anymore and said he had to close down. The young office worker left reluctantly and unwillingly.

He also told the store manager that he would be coming again tomorrow, and that he would reserve the machine for him in advance...

20,000 yen a day, is this thing a money printing machine?

This is just one machine; if there were dozens, the daily income... I can't even imagine.

Chapter 15 I bought it!

The daily income of 20,000 yen greatly shocked the store manager.

That's double the income!

It's hard to imagine what kind of magic this thing possesses.

However, being quite shrewd in business, he had already realized the value of this item.

He wants to buy this machine!

And the more the better!

Didn't you see those kids waving coins in their hands, as if they could put in an unlimited number?

Ultimately, due to the limited number of machines, many of the children left with regret, not having the chance to play for a long time.

If there are enough machines, then all the money in these children's hands will be their own!

With this in mind, the shop manager had been waiting for Zhu Youxing's arrival since early morning.

He believed that Zhu Youxing would definitely come today.

Judging from the shrewd look in that young man's eyes when he spoke to him, he had no reason not to know how popular his product was.

Sure enough, Zhuyouxing really came.

When the clerk informed him, he practically jumped up from his seat instantly.

He didn't care at all about his already reddened eyes.

"Sir, it's a pleasure to have you visit again."

This time, the store manager was noticeably more polite.

This time, it's not the other party who needs something from me, but rather I who need something from the other party.

Zhu Youxing was not surprised at all by the store manager's expression.

"Hello, store manager, I'm here to collect the money I paid yesterday."

"Of course, they all belong to you, but before that, I have another question to ask."

"what?"

Zhu Youxing countered with a question.

His expression actually proved that Zhu Youxing had a premonition of what the other party was going to say.

"I'd like to ask, about what you said the day before yesterday, that I could buy this machine directly if I was interested, does that still stand?"

Zhu Youxing smiled: "Of course, if you're really interested, then it's definitely worth it."

"Then...how much does this machine cost? After thinking about it for a day, I've decided to buy it."

Zhu Youxing gave a very 'friendly' smile.

Of course, in the store manager's eyes, that smile was the epitome of a shrewd businessman.

Having spent so many years navigating the business world, the store manager immediately understood that the other party was preparing to make exorbitant demands.

"Two hundred thousand yen per unit, how many do you need?"

"Two... cough cough."

Two hundred thousand yen.

This is not a small amount.

In Japan today, a computer costs at most 150,000 to 160,000 yen.

Unless it's a more high-end professional computer designed for enterprises.

Now we are in the period after the economic bubble has burst.

Computers, something that is dispensable in daily life, immediately became the fastest depreciating item.

If you were to buy a normal computer from an individual now, you could probably get a decent one for around 50,000 to 60,000 yen.

This game console costs 200,000 yen.

This is practically robbery.

The actual cost of this game console is only two thousand yen.

One thousand yen of that is the cost of the game console's circuit board processor.

Five hundred yen is the cost of the red and white inexpensive material casing for mass production.

The remaining 500 yen was for various power cords and other odds and ends.

Of course, this does not include labor costs.

After all, this was something that Takeyusei and Hayasawa Airi had figured out themselves, and even including Hayasawa Airi's daily wage, the cost was at most only three thousand yen.

Zhu Youxing is determined to ask for an exorbitant amount.

For individual users, Zhuyouxing could easily sell at a lower price.

However, if it's a merchant like this, Zhuyouxing doesn't care at all about scamming people.

"Two...two hundred thousand yen is far too much. This machine doesn't seem expensive, sir..."

"My name is Zhu Youxing."

"Oh! Mr. Takeyu, could you give me a discount? Of course, if you have enough machines, I'm willing to buy in bulk, at least ten."

Hayazawa Airi stood to the side, expressionless.

But when Takeyusei quoted 200,000 yen per unit and offered to buy ten, Hayasawa Airi couldn't help but twitch her face.
