Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Takeyusei said leisurely, "Manager, let me calculate it for you. If nothing unexpected happened yesterday, this machine should have earned around 17,000 yen."

"Uh...it should be twenty thousand..."

Zhu Youxing was slightly taken aback.

This was beyond my expectations.

He remembered that the group of kids should already be quite good at the game.

Once you get the hang of it, you can usually play with one coin for four or five minutes without any problem.

"Twenty thousand? That's doubled. Boss, think about it. A machine costs two hundred thousand. Even in the worst-case scenario, you only need about ten days to earn back your principal and interest."

The store manager simply couldn't hide the revenue from coin-operated machines.

Because Zhu Youxing only needs to check the number of coins in the coin box to know everything.

Therefore, the store manager could only give an honest answer.

And this is precisely what Zhu Youxing is most confident about.

The store manager had absolutely no reason to refuse.

Because the income was just too explosive.

Of course, a single machine cannot generate 20,000 in revenue every day.

But even if the daily income is only 10,000, it's still a huge profit.

If you buy all ten machines, you can break even in twenty days. After that, no matter how many days it takes, it's pure profit.

Pachinko is indeed very profitable.

But that's not something for children to play with.

But this game console can be used to steal children's pocket money.

It sounds cruel, but businessmen need to consider profits.

"So... 200,000, price is non-negotiable, because besides the machine I deployed here, I've also deployed them in other places."

Upon hearing Zhu Youxing's words, the store manager immediately became nervous.

“I came here first. If you don’t want to buy it at this price, I think there will be people in the next dozen or so places who will be willing to buy it.”

Zhu Youxing's smile grew brighter and brighter, making her appear very approachable.

However, the store manager increasingly understood Zhu Youxing's scheme.

It's simply... an irresistible reason.

Seeing the shop manager's silence, Zhu Youxing spoke up again: "Let me put it this way. So far, this game machine is something that my partner and I have made bit by bit. There aren't many of them, so the price will be relatively high."

"If you buy it in advance, you can make more money sooner. Once my machines start mass production, you can definitely buy them at a cheaper price. But by then, there will probably be more places with game consoles, and more players will be attracted to different places."

Zhu Youxing gently stroked the outer shell of the Famicom.

"Do you want to make money off this scarce commodity in advance, or wait until mass production begins and then slowly earn it?"

"I'll buy them! Ten units, and I can pay you in cash right now."

Chapter 16 gamestar

Next, to Hayazawa Airi's astonished expression, the two parties reached a deal.

Zhuyouxing guarantees that it will provide the remaining nine game consoles within one week.

Zhu Youxing had already prepared this line of dialogue.

Because there are still more than a dozen places to visit.

He had reason to believe that at least one of the dozen or so shops would be willing to pay the money.

This is practically just making money off a bunch of suckers.

And the other party had no reason to refuse.

Because the temptation to make quick money in the first wave is irresistible to anyone.

The fact that the manager of the first entertainment hall was willing to buy it already proves that he was quite wise.

Even if this one doesn't agree, there are definitely a dozen or so others who will.

As expected, Takeyusei received his first payment of two million yen.

So far, compared to the money that Zhu Youxing has spent, this is actually nothing.

Takeyu Seikatsu has already spent nearly five million yen on rent for more than a dozen locations, and the money they've just made up for is barely a little bit of what they've already spent.

Next, Zhu Youxing naturally took out the money he had earned from the game console the day before, and gave it all to the store manager to exchange for two whole 10,000 yuan bills. Then he left and headed to the next location.

Next, I went to more than a dozen places to collect coins.

After calculating the game currency from more than a dozen locations, a result that Zhu Youxing was quite satisfied with was finally obtained.

230,000 yen.

This is a day's income.

If this continues, the costs will likely be recovered within a month, and then all that will be left is pure profit.

In a country like Japan today, such opportunities to make money are extremely rare.

Even Hayazawa Airi felt that Takeyusei was practically robbing her.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when all the coins were collected.

The first thing Zhu Youxing did upon returning was to prepare to contact the factory.

He now has the start-up capital that he can officially use.

Moreover, the money in my possession will continue to grow indefinitely.

With the previous promotional campaign, the game console no longer needs to worry about poor sales.

Now he can officially begin mass production.

The first thing to do is find a company that can manufacture circuit boards for game consoles, and then recruit a few more employees to assemble the game consoles.

"Zhu Yousang, aren't we assembling the machine today?"

"Of course not."

"But we only have one week. If we don't hurry, we might not be able to meet the delivery deadline agreed upon by the store manager."

"Don't worry, as long as we find a suitable factory, they can produce hundreds or thousands of game consoles in just one day, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Today, we'll print out some recruitment notices, and tomorrow I'll go to the prepared office location. After that, the company can officially open for business!"

Back home, Zhu Youxing walked to a plaque covered with a cloth.

He forcefully pulled off the cloth covering him.

GAMESTAR.

Game Star.

This is the game company that Zhu Youxing has always dreamed of.

A rising star in the gaming industry.

At the same time, it also represents the meaning of the last two names of Zhu Youxing.

At this moment, Hayazawa Airi tilted her head and looked at Takeyusei.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a light was emanating from Zhu Youxing's body.

very special.

The next day.

Zhu Youxing woke up early.

The previous few days of sleepless nights had left Zhu Youxing somewhat exhausted.

However, after a few days of rest, Zhu Youxing's spirits were fully restored once again.

So Zhu Youxing woke up at five o'clock in the morning.

The first thing he did wasn't work or anything; instead, he cleaned the entire house.

After these past few days of fussing and tidying up, the room has become quite messy.

There were all sorts of electronic components scattered everywhere, as well as leftover fast food containers, and so on.

The entire house is now so cramped that it's difficult to even step inside.

At this point, Zhu Youxing finally began to pack up.

The house cleaning lasted for about a morning, until the alarm clock rang around nine o'clock. Hayazawa Airi hurriedly ran out of the house, and Takeyusei's cleaning work was almost finished.

"Wow! Sorry, Takeyu-san! I overslept! I..."

Hayazawa Airi rushed to the second-floor handrail and looked down at the first floor, then she froze.

The room, which was quite messy before, is now spotless and doesn't look as bad as it used to be.

Meanwhile, Zhu Youxing, wiping away sweat, said, "It's alright, the timing is perfect. I just finished cleaning the room, and then we can proceed with the rest of our plan today!"

Hayazawa Airi looked at the energetic Takeyusei as if he were a monster.

After several days and nights without rest, Zhu Youxing has been fully revived in just a day or two.

Is this guy a monster?

……

Zhu Youxing tossed a stack of recruitment notices into the car.

Then Takeyusei leaned out of the driver's side window and instructed Hayasawa Airi in the driver's seat: "You'll have to do the hard work today. You need to go to different job agencies to post our notices, and then I'll find an office location. You can do it, right?"

Facing Takeyusei's expectant gaze, Hayazawa Airi immediately felt valued.

"Don't worry! Leave it to me, I'll definitely handle this perfectly!"

Hayazawa Airi made a firm promise, then started the car and headed to several job agencies according to the map.
