Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

This gave Nagaoyu a misconception at the time, a misconception that she was now on equal footing with such a person.

However, he now realizes that he had been too simplistic in his thinking.

Previously, I was considered a valuable person to the other party, and they didn't mind being called "Big Ear Liu" at all. So, being kind and approachable is also a way of showing respect and humility.

But now, this financial behemoth clearly no longer has that attitude.

He was extremely indifferent at this moment; even though he still had a smile on his face, it was very cold.

"Mr. Longtail, you invest a lot. I'm actually very curious why you're doing so many projects at the same time. Don't you know that it's very expensive?"

Changweiyu took a deep breath. Since he was already here, he couldn't control whether he was killed or tortured. So he might as well explain his original plan clearly here, and maybe there would be a chance to smooth things over: "Boss, it's like this. I believe that the future will belong to the Internet. If we want to have a place in the Internet era, we must occupy more territory in advance. Only by occupying it in advance can we prevent later entrants from having the opportunity to enter. However, this is indeed too aggressive and has cost too much money. But this money did not go into my pocket. Instead, it was all invested in the expansion of my company."

The man waved his hand: "I don't need you to explain these things. What we need now is for you to make it clear to us immediately that your plans can bring benefits to the company, instead of just keeping pouring money into it."

"Boss, this will take a little more time and money."

“We are not philanthropists and cannot give you money indefinitely. The internet is really powerful. In the past, you could boast if you only had a few hundred thousand or a few million users. Now the internet can easily have hundreds of millions of users. That’s why we are optimistic about you. But you also need to realize that we cannot give you unlimited financial support.”

This is quite clear: these people no longer want to invest money in Long Tail Rain unless he can show them the benefits.

Suddenly, Changweiyu felt like he was about to die. Without financial investment, he would soon be strapped for cash.

Chapter 569 The Big Dog

The final result of Changweiyu's arrival here is that several capital firms jointly demand that Changweiyu immediately achieve partial profitability, and they have begun to consider investing, unlike before when they invested without reservation.

This consideration is based on the fact that the financial giants believe there are still some aspects of YOO that can be utilized.

For example, his shares in Nippon Television.

Previously, it was very difficult for US capital to enter Japan's media industry, as it was subject to layers of regulation. However, thanks to Nagao Aqua, although it is still subject to regulation, it is easier to pass through.

This also gave them a channel to make their voices heard in Japan.

The value of this traditional media sector is still very high.

Somewhat distraught, Nagao Ame boarded a plane and returned to Japan.

However, this time he was not traveling in first class, but in regular economy class.

It wasn't that he was really short of money, but he needed to make a statement. These financial giants were clearly dissatisfied with his various actions, and if he continued to be extremely extravagant, it would only provoke more of their resentment.

Back at the company, Changweiyu readjusted the direction of investment, and finally decided to temporarily stop maintaining the online shopping and video platforms, leaving only the employees responsible for daily maintenance, while the rest went to the main business of their previous companies.

The game department had the most employees, and Changweiyu hoped to save some money in this way, while also being able to fully develop the game business that she had already invested so much in.

He's now in a difficult situation.

It was as if Zhu Youxing was roasting him over a fire; if he retreated, all his money would be wasted, and if he moved forward, his money would continue to be depleted.

However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has not yet shown any signs of financial strain.

With over 5,000 employees and more than ten game projects under development, the company remains as stable as ever.

It wasn't until now that Nagaoyu realized that she had really underestimated Yusei Electronic Entertainment in the past.

He originally thought that Youxing Electronic Entertainment must have received external investment.

However, such things cannot be hidden if investigated carefully. But so far there has been no news about this. Obviously, there is only one answer: Youxing Electronic Entertainment is still using its own working capital.

It's truly baffling that a company holding such a leading position in the industry has so much reserve capital. This is inherently illogical, because such top-tier companies should expand more rapidly to gain more market share. Yet, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment does the opposite and still manages to maintain its leading position in the industry, which is truly incomprehensible.

While Nagao Amane was struggling with her dilemma and frustration, Takeyusei was being personally received by the president of Kitada Bank, one of Japan's four major banks.

Kitada Bank is one of the three major commercial banks in Japan in this parallel world, and also one of the top ten commercial banks in the world, which shows its status.

His position as president of Kitada Bank speaks for itself; he is backed by the Kitada family and controls a vast amount of wealth.

The Kitada family wields considerable influence in this parallel world of Japan, making them one of the largest zaibatsu (financial conglomerates).

The reason why Zhu Youxing was received with such great respect by the head office was because Zhu Youxing had deposited most of his funds in this bank.

Following the bursting of Japan's bubble economy, the real estate business shrank rapidly, and investments in other industries became extremely risky.

Although Kitata Bank was a top-tier bank, it was not immune to the economic downturn and suffered a major setback after the bursting of the bubble.

Not long after, Japan experienced several economic downturns, and many bad investments by banks were exposed, causing countless people to frantically withdraw their money, hoping to keep it in their own hands, regardless of whether the national economy would be affected.

Under these circumstances, people in almost every industry are not doing well, and it is difficult to salvage the situation in a short period of time. Otherwise, Japan would not have gone through the lost decade, the lost twenty years, and the lost thirty years without recovering.

Against this backdrop, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's gaming business has emerged as a dark horse, and the economy has even seen a short-term recovery due to the gaming business.

At the same time, Zhu Youxing is a person who likes to save money very much, or rather, he doesn't easily risk spending too much money. He deposits all his money into the bank, which is Kitada Bank.

Six months ago, Yusei Electronics Entertainment had deposits of over 300 billion yen. If Yusei were to go even further, it wouldn't be impossible for them to have deposits of 500 billion yen.

For this reason, Kitada treated Takeyusei almost like his own father.

People who simply deposit money in banks, especially those who do so during this economic downturn, are the banks' favorites. Not to mention that Takeyusei is an extremely wealthy individual who has already become one of the major financial conglomerates in Japan solely through his video game business, and his position there is already very secure.

"Mr. Zhuyou, this is a piece of calligraphy and painting by the master Ueki Michi, which I just bought from an antique dealer. What do you think of it?"

Takeyusei casually looked at the collection on the walls of the luxurious office of the bank president named Kitada Kase.

The walls are covered with a variety of ancient calligraphy and paintings, a traditional Japanese long sword, and some animal specimens. This guy's office could easily be turned into a small museum.

However, Zhu Youxing wasn't particularly interested in these antiques; he just looked at them for the sake of it.

He nodded and said, "It looks pretty good, but I don't really understand it."

Kitada Kase said with a smile, "Mr. Takeyu is so engrossed in developing his industry that it's normal that he doesn't know about these trivial things. But if you have anything that catches your eye, just tell me, and I'll consider it a gift."

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "No need, I won't take what others love. It would be a waste to keep this thing by my side."

Kitada Kase sighed inwardly. Takeyusei was really too young. Although Takeyusei was already in his early thirties, he was still too young in the zaibatsu class. The only one who could rival Takeyusei was YOO's Nagao Amane.

However, he liked Takeyusei, but not Nagaoyu, because Nagaoyu was incapable of saving money, and their positions were different, so Nagaoyu was worthless in his eyes.

As for Zhu Youxing, he's different; Zhu Youxing is a highly sought-after prize in his eyes.

Chapter 570 All My Hopes Are on Your Savings

570

Looking back now, it's quite remarkable. Ten years ago, Zhu Youxing was just a small-time entrepreneur with a little bit of fame, but in the blink of an eye, he has grown to such a level, which proves that Zhu Youxing's strength is truly extraordinary.

After chatting idly for a while, Takeyusei casually sat down and looked at Kitada Kase, saying, "President Kitada, is there something you wanted to see me about?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to deepen our relationship, but I also wanted to ask about some trivial things."

Zhu Youxing's heart skipped a beat. He realized that what this guy really wanted to know was probably some trivial matter, so Zhu Youxing said directly, "Go ahead and ask."

Today, Takeyusei was continuing to oversee the game's development, but Kitada Kase suddenly contacted him through his assistant, hoping to meet him.

Given that Yang has a powerful family background and is also the president of a bank, Zhu Youxing certainly couldn't refuse, unless he was really too busy. But now that the game development is on track, he has fewer things to do and has time to meet him.

Furthermore, Kitada Kase once personally instructed a dedicated salesperson to be on standby 24 hours a day, just waiting for any order from Takeyusei.

With billions of dollars in deposits, Zhu Youxing is like a father to the bank; they will definitely treat him like a father.

Later, Kitada Bank took care of every aspect of Zhu Youxing's life. Whenever Zhu Youxing made a request, the bank would immediately send someone to help resolve it.

Since they've been treating him so warmly, even if it's because of money, Zhu Youxing still has to give them face.

Kitada Kase warmly poured tea for Takeyusei, then asked, "Mr. Takeyu, do you need a large sum of money to invest recently?"

Why do you ask that?

"It was the salesperson I assigned to serve you who told me that you've been rapidly withdrawing funds recently and have already invested over 100 billion yen, so I'm wondering if you might be involved in some large-scale industrial development?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "That's right. If you've seen more of the advertisements related to me, you should know that I'm currently developing multiple games at the same time. The investment costs for these games are not low. I hope that these games can open up and solidify my market."

"As expected of Mr. Takeyu, your business is already very large, yet you are still trying to expand it," Kitada Kase said admiringly.

“President Kitada, you can talk to me directly. We don’t need to hide things from each other like this.”

Kitada Kase paused, then gave an awkward smile and said, "That's true, there's really no need to hide it. You should know that banks aren't doing too well right now, are you?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "I know that, but I'm using my own money now, and you shouldn't have the right to tell me how I want to spend it, right?"

Takeyusei thought Kitada Kase wouldn't be that stupid.

Kitada Kase quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, of course I don't have that right. You can definitely manage your own savings. It's just that we've been researching the game industry recently and trying to make some investments. I wonder if Mr. Takeyu would be interested in accepting our investment? We can offer very generous funding."

Zhu Youxing immediately understood.

Is this a case of banks trying to get on board? But it's probably not that simple.

Zhu Youxing replied, "I'm sorry, President Kitada, but I'm a rather conservative person, and I'm not short of money, so I don't want to be burdened by money."

There are some rather willful behaviors in the current bamboo aerospace industry.

For example, the continued production of the Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System) is something that now has almost no profit, and in some areas, it even requires subsidies. However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment continues to produce it. If Yuxing Electronic Entertainment had many shareholders, they would definitely try to stop this obviously unprofitable business.

Besides the Famicom, the development of many other games also resulted in low profitability.

As players' tastes become more discerning, some game genres are not particularly popular, but Bamboo Star continues to produce them, which is one of Bamboo Star's own principles.

If there are too many shareholders, he won't be able to do what he wants as he pleases.

In Zhu Youxing's heart, there is not only simple profit, but also his love for video games.

“I understand.” Kitada Kase seemed to have expected this as well, and didn’t seem to really expect Takeyusei to agree to his investment request directly.

Over the years, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has always been wholly owned by Zhuyuxing and continues to maintain huge profits. However, Zhuyuxing is certainly not happy that some investors are criticizing it because of some money.

Kitada Kase laughed and said, "I was just asking casually. If it doesn't work out, then forget it."

Kitada Kase's main question was about Takeyusei's previous behavior of withdrawing money recklessly.

If this frantic withdrawal of money is for legitimate business purposes, then they have nothing to say.

However, if Zhu Youxing himself intends to squander money recklessly and act like a spoiled rich man, they really want to give him a good talking-to.

Such a large depositor is a rare find, and we must not lose such a large depositor because of this guy's extravagance.

We're counting on your deposits to boost my performance.

Once this result is achieved, the rest is just casual conversation.

Following that, Kitada Kase also became very interested in Takeyusei's game development, and he was curious about what stage of competition they had reached.
