Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

What stands out most about Aya Tsukino as she meticulously straightens her tie in front of Takeyusei is her signature silver hair.

However, this time she no longer wore pigtails, but instead let her hair fall slightly to one side.

This was also the first time Zhu Youxing had ever seen this image.

Everyone has changed.

Zhu Youxing sighed inwardly.

Everyone has changed from what they used to be.

That makes sense.

I have been in this world for ten years now.

In my past life, I was over thirty years old. If I add nine years to this age, my mental age should be over forty, but in reality, I don't really have the mindset of someone in their forties.

But no matter how one's mindset changes, nine years will still bring about many changes.

Especially for Aya Tsukino, her fear of physical contact has almost disappeared, which should be the biggest change for her.

Since she met Zhu Youxing, the changes in herself have been visible to the naked eye.

She is no longer as withdrawn as she used to be.

Now she can at least start communicating with people, and she now has her own team.

She personally recruited each member of the game development team.

Among them were her former classmates from Stanford University who were frustrated and unsuccessful after graduation, but were still very talented, as well as some of her juniors.

She led this team to form what she called the Stanford Warriors, and they are now developing what she considers to be the pinnacle of gaming.

According to her, the development cycle should be more than three years, and it will probably be difficult to see her game in a short period of time. Moreover, she specifically kept it a secret from Zhu Youxing, saying that it would take at least a year before she could show him a demo.

She has transformed from someone with a fear of physical contact to who she is now, and she doesn't feel there's anything wrong with it. Even though she used to hate it, she has now begun to enjoy the feeling of working with partners.

Bamboo Star is the source of everything that changed her.

Not far away, Hayasawa Airi looked at Takeyuusei through the mirror, her eyes filled with a strangely complex emotion.

She has also changed a lot.

She proved herself to her parents through her own efforts.

She didn't need to inherit the family business, nor did she need to find a son-in-law for her father to keep his kendo dojo going.

Airi Hayazawa has already forged her own path.

Today, she is a director of the Engineering Development Department of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, a position that countless people dream of.

Of course, it would have been impossible for her to have persisted until now by relying solely on Zhu Youxing's influence. She also has her own strengths to convince people, namely her years of development experience and the various creative concepts she learned from Zhu Youxing.

Everything has indeed changed a lot.

Aya Tsukino seemed to have finally sorted out Takeyusei's tie, and after examining it carefully, she looked up at Airi Hayazawa: "Airi, can you check if Takeyusei's tie is crooked?"

"okay."

Airi Hayazawa strode over immediately, completely forgetting that she was still wearing a long dress.

But she maintained her balance well and did not fall.

"Hmm, very good, very authentic."

Zhu Youxing's face looks a little off; that tie is way too tight...

Oh well, it's only for a short while anyway. I'll just take it off as soon as the ribbon-cutting is over.

Aya Tsukino was very satisfied with her work, and then raised her wrist to check her watch.

"It's about time, let's go."

The car had been waiting outside for a long time. There were still two hours until the building officially opened, so we needed to make some preparations before we got there.

"Let's go and embrace the new era, the new era that belongs to us."

Zhu Youxing said casually, and then was the first to walk out.

He really didn't want the two of them to see his face, which was turning slightly red.

Chapter 442 Please take a break

As the largest shareholder of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, Zhu Youxing stood at the very center of the building entrance in the still somewhat chilly weather.

Countless reporters were frantically taking pictures.

It has to be said that no matter how aggressively Su Rui Electronics advertised, it couldn't attract as much attention as the official opening ceremony of Youxing Electronics Entertainment's building.

The opening ceremony of a building is big news that many companies are eager to report on, and such events are rare, while the release of a game console happens every few years.

The opening of the building also marks the official release of the latest handheld game console.

The name of the new handheld console has only been officially announced now; it's called GSL.

L stands for the abbreviation of the English word "life," signifying that the new handheld console is seen as a new life in a completely new era.

Of course, the name isn't important; what players care about is what kind of game they can play as soon as possible.

In fact, behind the reporter, the street was completely blocked by the crowd.

These people weren't all there to see the opening of the new Youxing Electronic Entertainment Building.

Most of them were gamers who had come to buy new game consoles.

In the planning of the new building, one area on the first floor is designated as an official sales store for the public.

Since this is the official store, it should be the place with the largest inventory.

So almost all the players in the Tokyo Minato area came here.

Among them, you can even see several government officials and the boss of a well-known company coming to buy games, which is quite a spectacular scene.

To Takeyusei's left and right are the charming Hayasawa Airi and Tsukino Aya.

Everyone present knew perfectly well who these two were. They were definitely the core members of Zhuyouxing, and the kind of people who were not to be trifled with. So no one would look down on them just because they were women.

Next to them on either side are the long-time employees who have worked with Zhuyouxing for many years.

There are Masashi Ota, Minoru Matsuhashi, and others.

Of course, government officials were also present, as well as the sole third-party shareholder, a current director from the Nikkei newspaper.

Today, this place is filled with important figures, and it also represents a formal public announcement by a small group of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Next, Zhu Youxing took out scissors, and the others also took out scissors and showed their signature smiles to the camera.

Finally, Zhu Youxing took the lead and cut the red rope with a snap, and the others followed suit. The Youxing Building was officially opened, and the employees could now officially start working inside.

Of course, the work had already started two weeks prior; today was just a formality.

Then came a burst of applause and celebration, but the applause didn't last long before it was interrupted by the voices of a group of people.

"Hey, is this over? We're going to buy game consoles, don't you guys still want to make money?"

Zhu Youxing's ears perked up, and he immediately said to the people around him, "Alright, the ribbon-cutting is over. Thank you all for coming. There will be a cocktail party here tonight. Everyone is welcome to come. Now I will welcome our first group of guests to celebrate."

The others were slightly taken aback; Zhu Youxing's decision was a bit too straightforward, but many of them were already used to it.

In Zhuyouxing's mind, game development is the most important thing, followed by the countless players.

These two bamboo items are of utmost importance to Zhu Youxing; everything else has to take a backseat.

Hearing Zhu Youxing's words, the players were very satisfied, and then immediately entered the building's product sales area in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the shop assistants here are already in a state of high alert.

What follows is a truly tough battle.

There are fifty cashiers here right now, and boxes of new GSL handheld game consoles and cartridges are piled up like small mountains in the center of the store.

At this moment, Zhu Youxing yanked off his tie. He had had enough of the thing that had almost strangled him, and he didn't need to be so serious with the players.

He went directly into the sales area to lend a hand.

As their own first-party store, and located in their own first building, Takeyusei naturally had to make a statement.

Taking photos with players and signing their game consoles are essential.

Furthermore, the first player to purchase the game console is also entitled to certain privileges, including a complete set of the console and a year's worth of games.

Zhu Youxing took this very seriously, much more so than the somewhat perfunctory ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony is just a formality, but serving the players can bring real benefits and influence to oneself.

With good order maintained, no players do anything out of line, and even if something does happen, someone will immediately step in to stop it. This has long been the norm for GameStar Electronic Entertainment's first release products.

At least on our own turf, we absolutely cannot allow such serious problems unrelated to sales to occur.

Within ten minutes, game consoles and game cartridges disappeared from the lobby as quickly as melting snow.

The shop assistants responsible for restocking never stopped. Whenever the stock in a certain area decreased to a certain level, they would immediately push a cart over to replenish the stock.

It's okay to be out of stock anywhere else, but it shouldn't happen on your own home turf.

In terms of sales experience, Zhuyouxing has hired the best sales consultant team to accurately calculate sales targets and ensure that there will be no stockouts due to human error.

As long as there is no shortage of goods, that is the best way to curb scalping.

On March 1, 2002, Zhu Youxing felt that his legs were almost numb.

Even his seemingly superhuman energy appeared to be starting to wear him down.

He needs to shake hands and take photos with countless people, and sign his name for countless others. This is to express his gratitude to these supporters, and he must take it seriously.

Even though he was extremely exhausted, Zhu Youxing tried his best to persevere. This was probably the most tiring day he had ever had since he came to this world.

But he felt very satisfied.

It feels so good to have so many people supporting me in this world. It's more important than anything else to know that my efforts are being recognized.

Even so, it was impossible for Takeyusei alone to meet the demand for photos and autographs from so many people.

"Big brother, please take a rest. You've worked hard."

Just then, a childish voice rang out.
