  Chapter 908 Just sell normally

  908

  In the opening ceremony, Japanese popular culture such as video games and animations will be displayed to the fullest. This is the way Japan promises to the Olympic Organizing Committee.

  Of course, the Olympic Organizing Committee will not only look at the propaganda methods when inspecting the host city, they will also inspect a city's overall appearance, living conditions, hosting conditions, drug control and many other details.

But for Japan, a country that has hosted the Olympic Games, these minutiae are not a problem at all. They have already dealt with it with experience, and coupled with the unique opening ceremony that made everyone's eyes shine, they finally moved the Olympic Organizing Committee .

   Immediately afterwards, the Japanese government quickly organized a group of the Olympic Organizing Committee, who will be responsible for many matters related to the Olympic Games.

   For the prime minister at the time, hosting the Olympics was a life-saving straw.

  Japan has greatly boosted the national economy by hosting the Olympic Games before, and this time they want to reproduce this glory.

It's just that in Zhu Youxing's view, this kind of thing will never happen again. The last time Japan was able to boost the national economy through the Olympics, it was because the whole people are in the wave of development. The Olympics are like a catalyst , which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people and made the development more rapid.

  Now, Japan is going down as a whole, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to restore the economy relying on the Olympics.

   But this has nothing to do with Zhu Youxing, he only cares about video games, Japan's economy is handled by politicians, at least it won't affect him.

  But Zhu Youxing is more concerned about the Olympic Games.

  Because he really wanted to see with his own eyes a perfect opening ceremony that belonged to modern cultural entertainment such as video games and animation.

   This can be regarded as fulfilling an incomplete dream of his original world.

  So just after the establishment of the Olympic Games Preparatory Committee, Zhu Youxing asked himself to be one of the decision makers of the committee.

   And his reason is that Youxing Electronic Entertainment will provide all cultural IP of Youxing Electronic Entertainment free of charge to promote Japanese culture, and he will become one of the main speakers in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

   He is definitely not as professional as the director of choreographing the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but he only needs to forcefully drive some people away when they want to meddle in the opening ceremony.

  He wants to see a perfect opening, simple as that.

For this request, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has become the biggest supporter of Zhuyouxing. They think this is a perfect cooperation opportunity for both parties. If both parties make a step forward and work together to hold a perfect Olympic Games, then it is the best the result of.

  However, this has aroused the dissatisfaction of some people in Japan's traditional literary and art circles, because they also want to promote Japan's traditional culture through the Olympics.

   It's just that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is in full swing nowadays, and there is support from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. These people in the traditional literary and art circles can't fight at all, so they can only give up their intervention in the opening ceremony with reluctance.

  However, it is only 2013 now, and there are still seven years to go before the actual preparations for the Olympic Games. There is no need to be too anxious about this matter, but Zhu Youxing needs to have the absolute right to speak in advance to avoid anyone from affecting his plan.

   After finishing the Olympic Games, the time has come to December.

  Ghost of Tsushima completed all game development at the beginning of October. After all, this game is a standard canned open world game. There are basically no technical problems to overcome. It only needs to develop the game step by step.

   Then the development team also cooperated with the publicity team to carry out vigorous publicity. Ghost of Tsushima is obviously better at publicity.

  While Sekiro waited until mid-November to complete the development, the time for the final production of the cassette was quite tight, and the coordinated publicity work was not as secure as Ghost of Tsushima.

   But fortunately, the game itself has already attracted a lot of interest from players, and even if it is not promoted, there are still many people who support it, which can also reassure the tenth development department a little.

  At the beginning of December, in front of physical video game sales stores in the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries, many people were already queuing up to wait for the stores to open.

   They all came today to buy the two games released today.

   However, this year, there are a lot fewer people queuing up than in the past.

  When the door of the store was opened, people also entered the store in a very orderly manner to purchase. The hot shopping scene that these shop assistants expected did not happen.

  These stores have an average of more than 50,000 copies in stock for the two games Tsushima and Sekiro.

  At the same time, the truck behind the store is still on standby. If the situation is wrong, it will immediately drive to the production base and the customs to pick up the goods to ensure the supply of physical cassettes.

   But unexpectedly, there were a lot fewer people.

  After a whole day, the average sales volume of each store is only 20,000 to 30,000.

  If Yuxing Electronic Entertainment’s first-party game was ready to be released two or three years ago, or even five or six years ago, the people queuing up would usually form a unique landscape in an area.

  But this time the number of people who bought the game was much less than expected.

   "Manager, it looks like we won't be too busy today, there are only so many people here."

  A clerk was chatting with the store manager beside him while holding a game cassette on the shelf.

   Now it seems that they are not as busy as expected, and they even have time to chat.

  The store manager looked at the crowd who came in, and his face was a little dignified: "Well, there are really not many people. What's going on?"

   "Then do we need to report this to the higher-ups?" the clerk asked.

  The store manager nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course we have to report. Under normal circumstances, we would definitely report the specific sales of the game to the higher-ups once a day, but I will make a call first to ask other stores."

  The store manager walked to the back of the store, then picked up the phone and contacted other physical stores that also sold video games.

   And the answers he got were almost the same.

  This time, there are generally not many people queuing up to buy games.

   "I heard a message recently."

"what news?"

"It seems that this time the supply of physical cassettes in our physical store is actually not as much as expected. This time we just prepared trucks to pick up the goods at the factory and customs at any time according to the usual practice, but it is said that the supply of goods provided by the factory and customs is actually It’s less than half of what it used to be.”

   "So much less? Then it seems that the head office has already expected it? Could it be that the head office of these two games predicts that the sales will not be too good?"

   "Hmm... I don't know much about this, I just heard gossip."

   "Forget it, we will report the data after today's sales end. Anyway, this kind of sales data is managed by the people above. Let's just take care of the normal game sales."
