Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

In Zhu Youxing's home, Zhu Youcai looked tenderly at her daughter Zhu Youmeng not far away.

She happily played a game with a game controller, occasionally letting out a giggle, her big eyes very bright and lively.

My daughter is probably two years old but not quite three.

At this age, most children are still crawling around and can only occasionally utter some very short words.

But now my daughter can play games very seriously, without any of the annoying traits that are common among young children.

Or perhaps it's because she's her own daughter that she doesn't dislike her; as for other people's children... sorry, she doesn't like them at all.

"Zhuyou, do you think Xiaomeng might become an internet addict?"

Zhu Youcai looked at Zhu Youxing, who seemed rather casual, beside her.

Zhu Youxing leaned back on the sofa, also looking at her daughter.

He would never become a doting father to his daughter, not in this lifetime, but daughters are indeed very cute and interesting, and Zhu Youxing never gets tired of looking at them.

"Hmm? A girl addicted to the internet?" Takeyusei turned his head and looked Takeyusai up and down.

Zhu Youcai said irritably, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Weren't you once an internet addict? Don't you think it's good for Xiaomeng to become like you used to be?"

"Of course it's not good. I used to refuse to have contact with anyone, which is not a good thing."

Zhu Youxing smiled and said, "Don't worry, our daughter won't turn out like that. Look at how happy she is when she smiles. It's a far cry from how you used to always have a long face."

Bamboo dances silently in the colorful clouds.

"It seems you've been completely won over by your daughter."

Zhu Youxing shrugged: "Isn't this a good thing? What's wrong with liking a daughter?"

"So what does she want to do in the future? Will she like making games? Or does she have other dreams? If she doesn't like making games, then her name is very different from her dreams, isn't it?"

"We can change her name later. If she wants to change it when she grows up, we can do so. We will give her a good life and a happy family so that she can live in a happy family. The rest is up to her."

Zhu Youxing looked at his daughter and then said, "But I think she will really enjoy playing games. Look at this little one, she can even beat the first level of Super Mario now. This talent is not something that ordinary children have."

"You must be the only person in the world who can tell a child has talent just by watching them play games."

"So what? As long as she's happy. Of course, if possible, I'd also really like her to pursue a career in video games."

"But she's a girl, do you want her to inherit the family business?"

Yusei shrugged: "It's not impossible. She could become the president of Yusei Electronics Entertainment or another game company in the future."

Takeyu Aya gave Takeyu Hoshi a deep look: "To be honest, sometimes I feel like you're not Japanese. Your mindset and beliefs have always been very different from traditional Japanese values."

Zhu Youxing retorted, "Aren't you the same? In this respect, we're about the same, aren't we?"

"That's because I spent most of my life abroad before I became an adult and received my basic education there. But you don't seem to have traveled abroad much before you became an adult. So how did you develop this mindset?"

Zhu Youxing gave a mysterious smile: "I have another identity; I was once a soul living abroad."

"Okay, I believe you."

Zhu Youxing smiled, then looked at the clock, and stood up, saying, "Alright, it's almost time. There are still seven hours until the opening ceremony. Let's get ready and go watch the Olympics."

Chapter 1158 Mutual Praise

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was scheduled for 7 p.m. Japan time that evening.

It was the height of summer, but the Tokyo National Stadium didn't feel particularly hot.

This is a brand new technology, and Zhu Youxing thinks it's quite impressive.

One hundred thousand people gathered in this enormous stadium, making it one of the world's largest stadiums in terms of total area.

This is also much larger than the original Olympic venues in the world.

It is clear that the Japanese government receives more funding in this world and is more willing to invest in the construction and development of sports venues and other facilities.

As a special guest, Zhu Youxing was seated in a position reserved for dignitaries, officials, and tycoons from various countries.

This location is also the best spot to watch the Olympics and the opening ceremony, offering a panoramic view of the entire Olympic venue.

"Mr. Zhuyou, it's been a long time!"

Zhu Youxing arrived at the Olympic venue with his wife and daughter, and then proceeded to his seat through a special passage.

A voice called out to Takeyusei, who was walking. Takeyusei recognized the voice and turned around with a smile, saying, "Mr. Hayakawa, it's been a long time. How have you been? Busy with work?"

Hayakawa Ueto was dressed in Japanese clothing that is only worn on very formal occasions, which made him look somewhat out of place compared to Takeyusei, who was dressed in casual clothes.

Hayakawa Ue was born into a very typical Japanese zaibatsu family.

Surui Electronics started in the 1950s and 60s and has maintained a significant social position in Japan ever since.

While Suri Electronics may not be able to compete with Yusei Electronics Entertainment in the video game industry, Suri Electronics has few rivals worldwide in the electronics field.

Even many of the smart hardware products from Mikefu rely on the technology of Surui Electronics.

Surrey Electronics is considered one of the world's leading giants to achieve a technological monopoly, and is one of the companies that has instilled national pride in Japan.

Other companies may have been devastated when the bubble burst, and even the automotive industry was severely damaged, but Su Rui Electronics, which holds many modern technology patents and is even a standard setter for many technologies, is still living a comfortable life.

Hayakawa Ueto was quite in high spirits at this moment.

Surui Electronics has not been particularly successful in the video game industry, but it has managed to make a profit, after all, it has been operating in the industry for many years.

Other industries have also seen a slight rise in popularity as AI technology has advanced.

In fact, Hayakawa Ueto felt he should thank Takeyusei.

Without Zhu Youxing's initial large-scale investment in AI industry development, his Surui Electronics would not have regained its technological monopoly in the world so quickly.

Besides the semiconductor chip industry, Surui Electronics is also a leader in other technologies, especially screens, lenses, image sensors, audio chip components, etc., which have made it very profitable recently.

As a Japanese company, Surui Electronics and Yusei Electronics Entertainment often maintain a relationship that is both adversarial and friendly.

Sometimes they cooperate to beat up outsiders, and sometimes they fight to the death in the video game and film and television industry. Then Su Rui Electronics has to spend another sum of money to pay Youxing Electronic Entertainment a licensing fee for the Unreal Engine.

Therefore, when Takeyusei and Hayakawa Ueto met, they didn't have the jealous attitude of rivals. Instead, they treated each other as equals, occasionally exchanging blows, but never going too far.

Hayakawa Ueto smiled: "Some industries have been developing quite well recently, but you are still more capable in the video game and film and television culture industries."

Zhu Youxing humbly replied, "That's just a virtual industry. You're more reliable in the physical industry. Some of the components in my game console even use your patents."

Hayakawa Ueto immediately responded modestly: "I hope it helps your game console. I hope we can both improve and not be distracted by things other than competition."

Both sides flattered each other. Zhu Youxing had been in this world for over twenty years, and also had over thirty years of social experience from his previous life, so he was naturally not at a disadvantage in this regard.

Hayakawa Ueto is now over sixty years old, but he is no better than Takeyusei in verbal sparring. He secretly admires this guy as someone his father appreciates, and the older he gets, the more he can see Takeyusei's prowess.

The two sides exchanged compliments as they walked toward the venue.

During this period, I also met many politicians, officials, and some chaebols.

Their feelings toward Takeyusei and Hayakawa Ueto were somewhat complicated.

They are already quite old, while Takeyusei is still in his prime and can continue to work hard for a long time. Although Hayakawa Ueto is already over sixty, the average human lifespan is now over eighty. As long as one takes good care of oneself, one can continue to thrive in the business world.

Therefore, Hayakawa Ueto can still work hard for at least another twenty years.

As for these tycoons who are already over eighty years old, they count each day carefully and cherish every moment.

The envy in their eyes wasn't feigned. If they could be twenty years younger, they would also love to join this clash of emerging technologies.

The internet, electronic technology, AI technology, cloud technology—each of these has brought enormous profits. It's just a pity that these conglomerates who failed to keep up with the trends are now lagging behind.

They could only watch helplessly as Zhu Youxing and his group rose to prominence.

Fortunately, companies like Surui Electronics are still developing under the wing of conglomerates, so it's not too shameful.

As for Yusei Electronics Entertainment...

This company is truly an anomaly. It was able to rise independently, relying almost entirely on external capital. The only constant is that 5% of its shares are held by the Nikkei Shimbun, but this has almost no influence on the company's actions or decisions. This company can be considered a completely independent rising star in Japan.

In this society where personal connections matter, Takeyusei couldn't be too arrogant because of his status, especially since he was also developing his career in Japan.

Anyway, talking to these old guys a few more times won't hurt me.

Zhu Youxing greeted them all, thus getting to know each other.

Finally, Takeyusei and Hayakawa Ueto took their seats together in the most prominent position in the Olympic venue.

It was almost 7 p.m. Japan time.

The Prime Minister is also ready to deliver a speech, officially announce the opening of the Olympic Games, raise the national flag, and play the music arranged for the Olympic Games.

"Quick, quick, honey, today is the opening ceremony of the Olympics. I have to watch the live broadcast no matter what."

In one family, the man and his child are both excited to watch television.

The woman was somewhat reluctant because her TV series was about to end.

But since her husband insisted, she couldn't refuse. Besides, she noticed that all the TV stations seemed to be broadcasting the Olympics live today, which meant that the TV series she wanted to watch had been postponed. So, she calmed down.

She still didn't quite understand why her husband, who wasn't usually interested in sports, would want to watch the Olympics.

Is it just a matter of joining in the fun?

Chapter 1159 Opening Ceremony

"It's starting! It's starting! There are three minutes left until seven o'clock. The countdown has begun!"

The man and child watched the countdown happily.

This countdown is not a simple number countdown; along with the countdown, there are also various video clips appearing.

These clips depict the history of Japan and the Olympic Games, as well as various current popular elements.

Japanese traditional culture, anime, and video games are all things that the Japanese people love and are very confident about.

Video games, in particular, can generate over $100 billion in market revenue overseas.

"Dad! It's a Pokémon!"

"Yes, I saw it! And there's Dragon Quest!"

"Huh? What kind of character is this? I've never seen him before."
