Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

"Regarding this, I happen to have a good candidate who can help you." Zhu Youxing smiled slightly and then clapped his hands.

Then, the meeting room door opened and a person walked in.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time." Tsukino Aya looked at everyone calmly.

Zhu Youxing looked at his wife.

His wife is a top-notch programmer, and in Zhu Youxing's eyes, no one has surpassed her so far.

Furthermore, Aya Tsukino commands an entire Stanford Army. Is the problem caused by too many gameplay options? Is it a problem?

Chapter 862 Do you need help?

862

Stanford University's Computer Science and Information Systems program ranked second in the world in 2018.

This is a top-tier university that dares to explore and forge ahead.

In the world that Zhu Youxing came to, Stanford University achieved this honor earlier than in the original world, and went even further, with Computer Science and Information Systems becoming the world's number one major in 2003, and holding the top spot for seven years.

They were the first to recognize the potential of internet technology, electronic technology, and other related fields, and began planning their strategies long ago, collaborating with several top scientific companies to solidify their position.

One of these companies has the closest partnership with Stanford University, and Stanford even created a brand new major specifically for this company, making it the world's first university to establish such a major.

That is the Electronic Arts major.

A more easily understood term would be "video game major".

To date, Stanford University has produced over 100 top-notch game producers and developers who hold key positions in various game companies.

The company that graduates of this major most often join is Xingcai.

This is a top-tier game company known as the Stanford Legion, specializing in solving a range of challenges in game development. They own several popular game series and are a very powerful link in the game industry system.

The actual controller of this company is a woman from Japan, namely Aya Tsukino.

She herself graduated from Stanford and was a top computer programmer with a great reputation at the school.

To this day, Xingcai's record is outstanding.

They were the first to solve the problem of applying motion capture systems in video games, and then there was the next generation upgrade of the Unreal Engine. They almost led the entire process of Unreal Engine moving towards Unreal Engine 4.

Next, they solved a series of problems, such as program optimization in 3D games and polygonal graphics compression for character figures.

These are all methods that greatly save money and costs in the entire game development process.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is an empire in the gaming world, and Xingcai is the church that assists the empire.

"From now on, all issues related to game development can be handled by Aya Tsukino's team. Kita, you don't need to worry about the complexity of the game. You just need to focus on creating more content."

Kitada Hitomi opened her mouth wide, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded: "I understand, President. I will do my best!"

Then, Takeyusei assigned the game's side story design and overall difficulty curve design to Noro Shun of the fourth development team and Uchiyama Hide of the ninth development team, respectively.

They all have their own unique characteristics, and what Zhu Youxing needs now is to collaborate with these people who have different characteristics.

"In addition, some developers from the United States will also join the team. This time, we are designing a world called Night City, which will be a collaborative work by people from different cultures, beliefs, and ideas."

Zhu Youxing looked down at the crowd below: "So, please do your best. I hope to see a game that is close to perfect, and all of this will depend on your assistance."

At this moment, it seemed as if flames were burning in everyone's eyes.

It was a kind of passionate flame that had already been activated.

After the meeting ended, Tsukino Aya and Takeyusei walked out of the conference room together.

"Takeyu, is this your lifelong dream? To create a world?" Tsukino Aya looked at Takeyu seriously.

This was the first time Tsukino Aya had seen Takeyusei so serious and earnest.

It wasn't that Bamboo Star wasn't serious or hardworking in all its previous games.

However, this time Zhu Youxing's performance was significantly different.

"I just want to create a game without regrets, just a game," Zhu Youxing said with a faint smile.

His lack of regret naturally had another layer of meaning, but Tsukino Aya could only understand the most superficial meaning.

"Cai, I'm leaving the game development programming issues to you. You're the only person I trust to entrust this matter to."

Aya Tsukino said, "We are one, you can completely trust me."

At this moment, Takeyusei's assistant quickly ran up to Takeyusei and bowed deeply to Takeyusei and Tsukino Aya.

She then said, "President, we have received an invitation from Jiro Shizuoka, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan."

"An invitation?"

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) is very familiar with Yusei Electronic Entertainment. Many of the cooperative relationships between the two sides started with MEXT, and the relationship between them is quite good. Whenever Yusei Electronic Entertainment has any needs, MEXT will actively help lobby.

The two subsequent changes in leadership at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology did not affect the relationship between the two sides.

The assistant handed an invitation to Zhu Youxing.

Takeyusei accepted it. It was a rather formal invitation, sealed in an envelope with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's stamp. Takeyusei opened the envelope and found a very sincere invitation inside.

Shizuoka Jiro, the newly appointed Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, invited Takeyusei to his home in a private capacity, and explicitly stated the purpose of the invitation in the letter: he hoped that Takeyusei could provide him with some support in terms of political achievements.

Is this yet another round of support activities?

This can be considered a normal and fair trade, with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment taking the profits and the ministers taking the political achievements and reputation.

After reading it, Takeyusei handed it to Tsukino Aya so that she could take a look as well.

Takeyusei said to Tsukino Aya, "Let's go. Let's take some time tonight as a relaxing activity before the big battle. After that, we'll all have very tough challenges ahead."

After reading it, Aya Tsukino nodded and said, "Then remember to go home early. I'll prepare your clothes for tonight."

"it is good."

Back in his office, Takeyusei asked his assistant to compile information about the newly appointed Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

Shizuoka Jiro, at 45 years old, was quite young among the ministers, which proved that he was indeed a capable person.

Sure enough, Shizuoka Jiro's rise in politician was remarkably rapid.

He started as a group leader in a department of the Ministry of Fisheries, and then rose through the ranks at a rate of one step per year, eventually becoming the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology after more than a decade of hard work.

If nothing unexpected happens, his future prospects should be very bright.

A person who climbs one step at a time each year clearly has great ambitions and hopes to achieve success quickly so that they can continue to rise steadily in their career.

So, should I help with this?

Chapter 863 An Unexpected Gain

863

This is not a difficult multiple-choice question.

Helping the government often benefits the most.

Most companies don't even have this opportunity.

Therefore, Zhu Youxing had already made his plans. If the other party wanted merit, then he would give it to them. What he wanted, however, would be some benefits beyond politics.

For example, a piece of land that is large enough.

Before going to Shizuoka Jiro's house, Takeyusei prepared a brand new game development plan alone in his office.

This project will be a new type of game developed specifically for Shizuoka Jiro's requirements. Actually, calling it a new type is a bit of a stretch, but it should be relatively novel for this world.

Just then, Zhu Youxing felt that the world had reached a suitable time for this game to be released.

The daytime was enough for Takeyusei to finish the basic project proposal; all that was left was to present the game to Shizuoka Jiro.

Jiro Shizuoka's house is a detached house with a considerable area.

It's not easy to find a house like this in Tokyo.

This also proves that Shizuoka Jiro has at least some background, rather than becoming a Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology from scratch.

"Welcome, Mr. Zhuyou, I've long admired your name."

Just as Takeyusei and Tsukino Aya got out of the car and stood in front of Shizuoka Jiro's house, Shizuoka Jiro, dressed in a kimono that looked like he was specially there to receive distinguished guests, came out to greet them, appearing very sincere and earnest.

He strode up to Zhu Youxing, flashed a bright smile, and shook Zhu Youxing's hand: "Welcome, Mr. Zhu Youxing, to my home. Please come in."

Accompanying Shizuoka Jiro was a very gentle woman who also warmly welcomed Tsukino Aya, even addressing her as "sister."

Aya Tsukino was somewhat uncomfortable with this, but perhaps because Jiro Shizuoka had done some prior research on Aya Tsukino, who was by Yusei's side, and knew some of her habits, Jiro Shizuoka's wife did not get too close to her, but kept a certain distance to make Aya Tsukino a little more comfortable.

Aya Tsukino's fear of physical contact has largely disappeared by now, but she still retains some of her habits.

With a warm welcome, Takeyusei followed Shizuoka Jiro into the courtyard of Shizuoka Jiro's house.

This is a fairly standard Japanese-style garden. In the center is a pond with several ornamental fish swimming freely. Behind the pond is a separate tea room, which is also where Shizuoka Jiro usually meets with guests.

However, this time, Shizuoka Jiro did not directly invite Takeyusei to the tea room, but instead led him directly to the living area at the back.

With decades of experience, Zhu Youxing understood that the other party intended to have a serious discussion with him, which also showed that the other party was very eager to improve his political achievements.

Shizuoka Jiro finally brought Takeyusei to the living room in the living area, where servants quickly brought out some simple refreshments and the finest tea.

"Mr. Zhuyou, please don't be shy. Just relax here as if it were your own home."

Shizuoka Jiro spoke enthusiastically, then personally poured tea for Takeyusei, displaying the demeanor of Liu Bei with big ears, completely unconcerned about whether doing so would affect his authority.

"Mr. Shizuoka, you don't need to be so polite. Let's just treat each other as friends."

"Ah, that's for the best, that's for the best, this way we can get closer together."

Shizuoka Jiro was also pleased; if Takeyusei had been too polite to him, it would have been difficult for him to say anything.

So Shizuoka Jiro stopped being polite and directly and warmly invited Takeyusei to have tea and some refreshments that his wife had carefully prepared.

To be honest, Zhu Youxing couldn't really tell the difference between good and bad tea. He didn't drink these kinds of things very often. If he had to pick one drink most often, it would probably be a certain energy drink, something like Red Bull from his previous life.

The two chatted briefly about work and life, getting to know each other a little. It was also a way for Takeyusei and Shizuoka Jiro to test each other's personalities.

After learning more about the situation, Shizuoka Jiro expressed his expectations very directly.

"Mr. Zhuyou, let me be frank with you. Before meeting you, I had already met with several other well-known cultural product companies, including your competitor, Surui Electronics. And after you, I will also invite other cultural enterprises to help me. I actually have a grand plan, but what I can assure you is that you are the first distinguished guest I have personally invited to my living room."
