Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Although they appear glamorous on the surface, they are actually gradually aging.

He still remembered seeing a news report in his previous life.

Because of a lack of fresh blood, the Japanese yakuza have ended up with a seventy-year-old man stabbing someone in the back and fighting, which is quite surreal.

However, regardless of the circumstances, there will still be some young people in this group at this time.

Some of the employees at the Daejeon Entertainment Hall were actually former yakuza members, but they managed to pull back from the brink.

Ota Masahiro could easily contact such young people, who usually didn't do well in the yakuza and earned very little money.

Nowadays, most young yakuza members treat it more as a job. If they had a job that paid more money, they would probably not hesitate to abandon their yakuza identity.

If this incident can lead them onto the right path, Ota Masashi would be happy to do something about it.

However, just as Takeyusei said, he would not get involved in such matters and did not want to be implicated in any relationships. He simply wanted to hire him and not cause any trouble. If he did cause trouble, Takeyusei would abandon Ota Masashi without hesitation.

When Ota took the somewhat drunk Takeyusei home earlier, he saw Takeyusei's house and its luxurious furnishings, and he knew that Takeyusei was definitely the child of a rich or powerful person, and it was best not to provoke him easily.

"I'll make the contact right away. I'll take care of the ground promotion. I happen to have enough game consoles and TVs here."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone with Ota, Takeyusei seemed lost in thought.

He plans to continue making games.

"However, we need to find some management talent for the company first."

That's not difficult. In the most frenzied bubble era, it would probably be quite difficult to find suitable management talent.

Because at that time, talent was almost entirely monopolized by large companies, and they simply looked down on newly emerging small companies.

But now, I'm afraid that as soon as I announce my salary, a huge number of people will flock to me.

As for finding management talent, Zhu Youxing already had a plan in mind.

Just go to a specialized headhunting firm.

He has no intention of saving money on this.

Zhu Youxing is better at making games, and he probably devotes most of his energy to it. He would have a lot of headaches if he didn't have one or two people to help him in other areas.

I might as well find a more expensive one; that way, it'll save me the trouble.

Of course, this high price is also in the context of the current era of bursting bubbles.

To be honest, before he transmigrated here, Zhu Youxing didn't even know that there were headhunting companies in Japan.

In his impression, Japan often signs long-term employment contracts with its employees, and an employee usually stays with one company until the end of their career, so it is rare to find outstanding talents willing to switch jobs.

But once he arrived here, he realized just how terrifying the bursting of the bubble truly was.

Japan in the 1990s was getting worse year by year, with dozens of companies going bankrupt every day in Tokyo alone.

Amid this wave of bankruptcies, large companies are unable to absorb the best talent from these failed companies, leaving them to languish in the market.

Moreover, large companies at this time dare not hire more people, for fear of being dragged down as well.

Some talented individuals have accumulated huge debts that make it difficult for them to recover.

They are therefore in dire need of a stable job, the kind they desperately crave.

Takeyusei arrived at the door of a headhunting company that was very famous in Tokyo.

As soon as I entered the gate, a beautiful woman came up to me warmly.

"Hello, welcome to PASOYA. Do you have any talent needs?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "I need one or two sufficiently excellent assistants to the president. This is my business card."

Upon hearing Zhu Youxing's request, the woman's eyes lit up. She respectfully accepted the business card Zhu Youxing handed her and said, "Okay, please wait a moment. Our manager will take care of you."

In recent years, fewer and fewer companies have been looking for assistant to the president level. This is a rare big client these days, and they may need two of them. We must take this seriously!

"Bamboo Grove... Mulberry?"

The headhunting firm manager held the business card in his hand and glanced at Zhu Youxing with some uncertainty.

"Hello, it's me."

"So you are the president of your company?"

"Yes."

"Indeed, young and promising."

In this day and age, it is already quite difficult for a young person to start a company.

People everywhere are starving, and any business venture could easily result in total financial ruin. This has caused this generation of young people to suddenly lose their fighting spirit and only think about getting a long-term contract job that lasts 996 until they die.

Zhu Youxing simply smiled in response to the compliment.

"I need a president's assistant first. If one person can't handle everything, I'll consider hiring a second one."

One is enough for a newly established small company, but Zhu Youxing wants to make some preparations in advance.

"So, do you need a long-term, core assistant, or an assistant like an administrative secretary?"

The core staff are often trained to become a future vice president or successor, while the administrative secretary is just a worker who gets all the dirty and hard work done by the other party, and at most gets a management position.

Without hesitation, Zhu Youxing replied, "Administrative Assistant."

He's only twenty years old and doesn't need a successor at all. He has his own forward-thinking guidance on the game's direction; all he lacks is overall company management and coordination.

Of course, if an administrative assistant does a good job, it's not impossible for them to become the vice president under you in the future; it all depends on their abilities.

"Okay, please take a look at this."

The manager took out a laptop, tapped it twice, and handed it to Zhu Youxing.

On the screen are several electronic resumes that have already been opened.

It contains detailed information about each administrative assistant, including their expected salary.

Here, everyone is expected to earn tens of millions in salary.

Some with high expectations will offer an annual salary of 1,300 to 1,400 yen and also want management shares.

But compared to the money I earn selling games, this salary isn't much.

Zhu Youxing quickly flipped through the list and then identified two of them.

Minoru Matsuhashi and Sayaka Takenaka.

These are two professional women.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that they have to be women, it's just that these two have quite good resumes, and their prices are much lower than those of men with similar qualifications.

This seems to be quite common in Japan, where there is a significant gap in status and compensation between men and women in companies.

Even if they hold the same position, men may be prone to cheating and shirking their duties, while women may be diligent and hardworking, but men still tend to have a higher salary.

Another characteristic of women's resumes is that they often add extra details, such as their marital status and other subjective opinions.

It seems to be to prevent employers from finding fault with these things because they are unaware of them.

This would put women in a very passive position.

Minoru Matsuhashi, 31 years old, is a bachelor who seems to be the kind of person who is willing to dedicate his life to his work, or rather, to live a carefree life as a bachelor without needing a second person by his side.

The detailed information below indicates that she was once employed by a large company, but the company went bankrupt due to a failed investment by the company's president, and she lost her job and is currently unemployed.

Fluent in multiple languages, with over 4 years of management experience, and possessing expertise in the company's financial and legal knowledge, she is an absolute workplace elite.

Expected annual salary: 900 million yen.

Sayaka Takenaka, 33 years old, single, full-time assistant, has no plans to get married in the near future.

The person also previously worked for a large foreign company but resigned voluntarily. The description above states that they were harassed by their supervisor, and after reporting it, they resigned voluntarily.

Yes, she sounds like a very strong woman.

The expected annual salary is 800 million yen, and the candidate hopes to have a certain amount of management shares.

Like the previous one, he is also a workplace elite.

Both of them share a very obvious characteristic in their resumes: they are both quite assertive.

This is quite normal, though. Women in such positions would find it difficult to survive in a company environment teeming with wolves if they weren't strong enough.

If you're not strong, you'll probably end up like a lamb.

"Let's settle on these two, the salaries are reasonable."

Men with similar resumes are expected to earn at least two to three million more per year than women, and Zhu Youxing selected these two without much consideration.

The manager glanced at the assistants chosen by Takeyusei, and then said meaningfully, "Hehe, President Takeyusei's choice is really special. However, President Takeyusei, neither of these two women is particularly easy to get along with. They are both workaholics who are only loyal to their work."

The manager clearly seemed to have thought of something strange.

However, the manager's explanation only made Zhu Youxing more certain.

"These are the two we'll take."

These two candidates are quite good; they are almost the best choices for Zhu Youxing.

He didn't care whether the two of them got married or not; he only focused on work-related issues.

"Okay, then I'll arrange for both of you to come for the interview. Do you need both of you?"

"Let's just give them a trial period. I'll pay them a trial salary, which will be calculated as their expected annual salary divided by 12 per month."

Such straightforward employers have become quite rare in the last two years.

Moreover, it directly requires two people.

Zhu Youxing seems to be planning to completely relinquish control, leaving everything else to one or two people except for making games and overseeing the overall direction.

Logically, one person is usually enough, but two people as reserves is also good. He has reason to believe that the game industry will experience explosive growth, and the two people can become familiar with the processes of game companies in the process.

It would be too slow to find suitable replacements once the business has truly developed.

Anyway, I don't need that little bit of salary.
