Chapter 103 Tian Chong's Ambition
Recently, the TV station will bring up the incident of beating people with game cassettes almost every once in a while, and then call a few professors to criticize it properly, thinking that the ratings will be warmer.
And the Japanese government also responded quickly, and some lawmakers began to consider seriously examining video games.
This is a brand new industry with many uncertainties, and perhaps some policy restrictions should be added.
For example, restricting the sale of certain types of game cartridges.
However, there are also members of the opposition, who found that video games are slowly activating the purchasing power of the crowd, making the entire social market a little bit more active.
This is actually a good thing for a sluggish market environment.
In short, there are different opinions on the government's side, and no new bills have really been promulgated for a while.
In fact, the government is not stupid. They clearly see that this is a revenge by the TV station camp on the emerging industry.
is like the chaebols of the newspapers attacking the Internet upstarts, so the Japanese government is only planning to wait and see for the time being.
If things get worse, they step in again.
Right now, it’s just the TV station group who are shouting, and their affiliated corporate newspapers are not directly involved. Even if they publish articles related to video games, they are relatively conservative.
In particular, the Nikkei Shimbun newspaper, which is affiliated with TV Tokyo, is still praising video games.
There is even a section with long-term serial business news about video games.
And naturally Tian Chong is in charge of this section.
Before he was just an ordinary editor.
But since he specialized in the field of video games, as the influence of video games has increased, and the commercial potential of video games has continued to expand, the newspaper also simply gave him a long-term tofu section, dedicated to serializing all news of video games.
He was also promoted to a junior editor-in-chief, very proud.
When he saw talk shows on TV that slandered video games, he didn't hesitate to attack those TV stations.
reprimanded them for being short-sighted. In what industry have you never seen such a fight? This kind of thing didn't even come to the table in the past.
Tian Chong received a notification today after he edited the latest video game news.
A newspaper director asked him to come over.
After he handed in today's content, he immediately came to the director's office.
The director of the newspaper, that is the leader of the chaebol, why did such a big man suddenly call himself over?
Is there a problem with your work? No, just because of this, I am not qualified to be called by the directors to talk in person.
Or...the things you do have received attention from the above, and you are going to give yourself a promotion and a raise?
This possibility is very large.
After all, if something goes wrong, it’s just packing up and leaving.
His mood suddenly jumped a lot.
However, when he entered the director's office, he immediately turned into a servile appearance, and carefully knocked on the door to enter the director's office.
This director is an executive director with real power. He has a very high status in the newspaper office. He is a real chaebol. Usually, this kind of chaebol doesn't show up in the newspaper very much. Is there any purpose for appearing today?
Tian Chong thought about it, and immediately bowed 90 degrees as he entered the door.
"Mr. Fujii, find me."
"Well, Tian Chong-sang, come, come and sit."
Fujii is a burly-looking man with a pretty good figure, which is obviously the result of long-term fitness. His actual age is close to fifty, but he can't tell at all, at most he looks like in his early forties.
This is very different from the image of many chaebols.
Although he was tall and burly, he was very friendly, smiling friendly at Tian Chong and beckoning him to sit at the desk.
Tian Chong immediately walked over and sat down.
"Now Tian Chongsang, you are already the editor-in-chief of a small section, right?"
"Yes, I am now in charge of the commercial sector of the video game category. This is a promising commercial project that deserves continuous attention."
"Well, I think so too, so I called you here specifically to tell you one thing. After relying on me and other directors, I feel that video games have a good development prospect. Your video game business sector can be expanded."
Tian Chong's breathing stagnated.
Sure enough!
It's almost as expected!
He was already ecstatic.
In the newspaper office, he has been an editor for about 13 or 14 years.
has also gradually changed from an ambitious young man to a greasy middle-aged man.
When the economic bubble burst, he actually planned to lie down completely, be a small editor with peace of mind, do his own thing well, and then just wait for retirement.
Unexpectedly, the appearance of video games changed him.
First of all, he really liked video games, and then published articles about video games in the newspaper.
Then video games developed rapidly, and he was directly in charge of a small section dedicated to publishing video game-related business news.
I didn't expect it.
My once-young ambitions have signs of being realized when I gradually lie down.
Even though he was in his thirties, he was still very excited when he heard such news suddenly.
Fujii smiled: "Don't get too excited. It's hard to say whether video games can really develop into a big business. If video games develop poorly in the future, your position will also fall to the bottom."
Tian Chong immediately thought of the TV station's criticism of video games during this period.
swears to have a stance that will not overwhelm the video game.
In the face of video games, the TV field is still a giant, and it is very difficult to resist.
"I see, I will try my best to do this job well!"
"I believe in you, well, I have other things, you can leave."
"Then Fujii will be busy first, and I will go to prepare for a new job immediately!"
Tian Chong, who walked out of the office, threw a few punches into the air in succession, releasing the excitement in his heart.
He never did this when he was young.
I have to ask my wife to prepare more wine and dishes tonight to celebrate!
By the way, there are more important things. Find a way to maintain video games. This is your own territory. You must not let video games be suppressed easily, or your business section will be gone.
In Fujii's office, after Tian Chong left, he turned on the computer and logged into the homepage of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment with great interest.
is still promoting its own games step by step, and there are some data released by itself.
"I didn't expect that the little guy from Zhuyoujia could make something so big for casual play. It's only been less than a year, right? Well, how much is my stake?"
