Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

So, out of professional ethics, he still planned to at least come here for a look. Who knows, he might discover a potential star before he becomes famous, and he could ride on their fame before they become too big to miss.

See? I was the first person to discover this company. I was their mentor. You should pay more attention to my online news section in the future. Keep up with the latest industry trends. Maybe the opportunity to make big money is in my section!

Chapter 199 Soliciting Customers

After wandering around the exhibition area for about half an hour, he finally started to feel a bit bored.

Most of the companies in this exhibition area really just went through the motions.

Even if some startups are genuinely enthusiastic and want to promote their electronic products, they are all rather uninspired and lack originality. They develop their products within the existing framework and then make slight optimizations, without any trace of future technology. He was too lazy to even criticize such small companies.

Having walked this far, he decided to find a place to rest.

"Hello sir, would you be interested in visiting our booth? We are an electronics company from Japan, and we are trying to promote video game consoles."

Video game console?

This is a new thing this year, and several large and medium-sized companies have tried to make similar products.

He also paid some attention to video game consoles this year.

So he looked up and saw a girl with a beautiful smile.

People can't resist beautiful things, especially since many of the models in the exhibition area have a Western-style heavy makeup look. The pure and friendly style from the Chinese culture in Asia is enough to catch people's eye.

This girl is one of the subordinates that Matsuhashi Minoru brought from Japan to work with. She is quite skilled in marketing and also served as a customer solicitor on this occasion.

With her unique and sweet style, she did attract some people to visit the Youxing Electronic Entertainment booth to experience video games.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Alvin gave what he thought was a very handsome smile, then stood up and followed behind the beautiful girl.

Just around the corner, Alvin saw an exhibition area marked "Starry Sky Electronic Entertainment".

In this separate exhibition area, Yuxing Electronics Entertainment stands out somewhat.

Other small companies just set up their stores casually and don't pay much attention to their advertising or storefronts.

However, as soon as you enter the booth of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, you can see a huge screen that is playing various game scenes on a loop.

The game graphics are all very beautiful, which naturally attracts some people's attention.

Alvin was somewhat surprised.

This small company takes exhibitions quite seriously.

However, he didn't have high hopes for the company's video games.

Because this company is too inconspicuous.

Compared to large companies like Surui Electronics, this small company probably doesn't have any innovative technology. It's probably just trying to ride the wave of the video game industry and get a piece of the pie by sticking with big companies.

He followed the staff member to the front of the exhibition area, and then he noticed that there were more than ten game consoles in this small exhibition area.

Now, in front of each game console, there is a person standing there, staring wide-eyed at the screen in front of them, holding the controller and not moving.

These televisions seemed to possess some kind of magnetic force, firmly drawing their gaze in.

Haha, these guys probably haven't played video games from those big companies before. They're still attracted by this new type of entertainment. I guess they'll get bored soon and go to other companies to experience better games.

Alvin was thinking this to himself when the female staff member smiled sweetly again: "Sir, please wait a moment. It will be your turn after someone else's time is up."

"Ok."

After the girl finished speaking, she walked out of the exhibition area again, ready to continue soliciting customers.

Because exhibition areas are really hard to notice, sometimes it's not true that good wine needs no bush.

If no one pays attention to you at all, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.

Therefore, Zhu Youxing was prepared to take the initiative from the very beginning.

So what's the most effective method?

Are they relying on their existing player challenge bounties to attract players?

This is a large exhibition, but unlike other places, this kind of tactic is unlikely to be very effective.

Players are willing to try out the game for a small reward, but the visitors at the exhibition don't care about that.

If they go to experience it just for that small reward, it feels like they're lowering the bar.

So, how exactly do you attract people?

We can't expect them to come to us on their own.

Then, Takeyusei contacted Matsuhashi Minoru and asked her to find a hospitable and experienced marketing professional, preferably a girl. The girl then came here and, following Takeyusei's instructions, used Eastern enthusiasm to attract visitors.

Every ten minutes, the girl would enthusiastically pull over a reporter from the media, urging them to at least experience the video game first.

Almost no one would refuse when approached by an enthusiastic girl. Most people think that it won't take much time anyway, and it's worth going to see her just because her sweet smile makes them feel good.

This proved to be very effective.

Americans, accustomed to seeing American girls, will also find girls from Eastern cultures more eye-catching and be more willing to listen to them.

In just half a morning, more than twenty media reporters had already arrived.

Once they've experienced ten minutes of video games here, very few of them want to leave.

They would keep trying to queue up, then experience it, then queue up again, and experience it again.

In short, it's absolutely unacceptable to prevent them from having enough fun.

About three minutes later, it was finally Alvin's turn to experience the video game.

Then an employee led him to a game console and began patiently explaining to Alvin how to use the controller and select games.

The SFC game console is very easy to learn how to operate.

Bamboo Star specifically requested that it be simple enough, to the point that anyone could just pick up a controller and start playing.

The main content of a game console is the game itself; all the fancy stuff outside of the game should be removed so as not to affect the player's experience.

In this respect, SFC has the upper hand. Su Rui Electronics and others have obviously not paid much attention to this aspect, and their operations are generally more complicated than those of SFC.

Seeing how easy and effortless it was to pick up, Alvin felt pretty good about it. Then, following the other party's recommendation, he chose a demo game called Need for Speed.

He found the racing game from Su Rui Electronics, which was also a racing game, to be very interesting.

But this small company... it's not that he specifically wanted to play this game, it's just that subconsciously he seemed to want to use it for comparison, to compare the gap between the two video games.

Subconsciously, he felt that Surui Electronics would be the better choice.

Chapter 200 Time Flies Too Fast

"Hello sir, your time is up. Everyone can only experience it for ten minutes."

"what?"

Alvin looked up blankly and glanced at the staff member beside him.

"I've only just begun?"

"You've already played three races, and the time is exactly ten minutes."

Alvin looked at the screen in front of him in disbelief.

Is it that fast?

He clearly didn't feel anything.

This Need for Speed... is quite interesting.

"Hey, hey, please don't take up our time, we still need to experience it!"

The people queuing at the back began to shout loudly in dissatisfaction.

They were all journalists from different media outlets.

Today, my main task should be to conduct as many interviews and take as many technology photos as possible.

But they didn't know how they got so engrossed in the video game that they couldn't tear themselves away, and that's how they wasted their time.

But they were very happy; they hadn't been this happy in many years.

Alvin was somewhat unwilling to give up and tentatively asked, "How about I play another round?"

"Hey you over there, are you trying to pull strings? Who do you think you are?!"

Alvin's face flushed red when he was asked the question. He stiffened his neck and said, "I'm Alvin, a reporter and part-time editor at Times Electronics. Haven't you heard of me?"

"We don't care who you are, just follow the rules here and stop talking nonsense!"

The people queuing up were all fearless.

Alvin was sharp-tongued, and these journalists were not to be trifled with either.

"Sir, you see, no one wants you to disrupt the fair play, so if you want to play again, please queue up again."

Alvin reluctantly stood up from his seat, glancing back at the Need for Speed ​​game on the console every three steps.

That racing game, well...

This is so much better than the racing games he saw at Surui Electronics before.

The racing games from Surui Electronics differ greatly in both their maps and the level of excitement of the races.

In Need for Speed, he could feel the adrenaline-pumping racing experience.

The cars in this race car can suddenly accelerate every now and then, reaching speeds of over 200 miles per hour.

Then, in front of the screen, he watched as all sorts of scenery rushed past him, and the thrill was simply unparalleled.

In real life, you wouldn't dare do that; even a slight speeding violation would result in a mountain of tickets. But in this game, he can drive as fast as he wants.

It's really great.

This small company is much more capable than I imagined.

Wait, is this really a small company?

Alvin felt that it wasn't that simple.
