Chapter 370 274 Is Eye-Catching, Pokeni Is Too Eye-Catching!
Chapter 370 274. Eye-catching, Pokeni is too eye-catching!
Eye-catching, too eye-catching.
The thorn of the pokeni has completely grown into Ren Tiantang's eyes.
Damn it!
Shigeru Miyamoto thought a little frustrated-
Does Pokeni have to choose this time?
...
Eye-catching, too eye-catching.
Qing Zhiyuan is really too eye-catching!
This afternoon, Qing Zhiyuan asked Hattori Hiroyuki to go fishing at the lake last time.
In just half an hour, Qing Zhiyuan has caught several fish.
Although the size is not big, it is a good harvest. Two of them are grass carp that can be barbecued.
On the other hand, Hattori Hiroyuki has been empty-handed for more than two hours.
Hattori Hiroyuki couldn't help but frowned fiercely. He didn't expect Qing Zhiyuan to be so lucky.
It's really too eye-catching.
Seeing this, Qing Zhiyuan himself stopped pulling the rod.
After a while.
Hattori Hiroyuki couldn't help it, "The fish has taken the bait, why don't you pull it?"
Only then did Qing Zhiyuan pull it up embarrassedly.
At a glance, wow, it's another big one.
"Okay, we have a barbecue tonight." Hattori Hiroyuki stood up expressionlessly, and didn't want to continue fishing.
The two walked to the shore, and then found a small restaurant to ask the owner to cook it.
The fish you catch yourself is more fragrant than the ones you buy in the vegetable market.
After two glasses of sake, Qing Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then I'll leave the release of the game to President Hattori this time."
As he spoke, he took out the prepared gift and placed it in front of Hattori Hiroyuki.
"This is a gift for the child. Nao chose it herself. She said that the child grows faster, so she has to buy clothes more frequently and buy one size larger."
Hattori Hiroyuki's mood improved when he heard Tsuda Nao's name.
He accepted the gift and nodded, "Thank you very much."
Generally speaking, they are more luxurious children's clothing, but the price is not too outrageous. Compared with the golf clubs worth millions that Qing Zhiyuan gave before, it is actually nothing.
"Isn't the New Year coming soon? I may be busy at that time. Give the children New Year's money first." Qing Zhiyuan pushed a white envelope in front of Hattori Hiroyuki.
It was written with the three words "お年玉".
Neon also has a similar custom of giving New Year's money to children as China. They call New Year's money "お年玉".
In fact, in ancient Chinese, there is a saying "Qi Nian Yu Sui", which refers to the years of beauty, that is, the best youth in life.
Therefore, "年玉" also means to wish children healthy growth and spend their years of beauty.
Tracing back to the origin of New Year's money in Japan, since ancient times, every household in Japan would make rice cakes together during the New Year, put them on the altar, and offer them to the God of the Year to pray for a healthy and disaster-free new year.
These rice cakes with divine aura will be distributed to everyone to taste later. In Japanese, "soul" and "jade" have similar pronunciations, and these distributed rice cakes are also called "New Year's Jade".
With the changes of the times, these rice cakes became "New Year's gifts" and then became children's New Year's money. The term "New Year's Jade" has gradually evolved into a synonym for New Year's money.
Like China, New Year's money in Japan is also given to children of their own family or relatives and elders with blood relations.
Qing Zhiyuan and Hattori Hiroyuki are also good business partners, so it is reasonable to give children New Year's money.
However, this kind of money will not be given a lot, even if the male protagonist has money, he will not give a lot, it is just a courtesy.
Even a rich guy like Qing Zhiyuan only stuffed 30,000 yen into the New Year's gift envelope, just for the sake of meaning.
As a good blessing.
"Ah, how can I be so embarrassed?"
"It's just a blessing, please don't be polite, I hope Tamako will be as beautiful as jade."
Hattori Hiroyuki's child is called Hattori Tamako.
Although there is a big difference in the pronunciation of Japanese, there is a special tacit understanding in the pronunciation of Chinese. Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Thank you very much, I will accept it for Tamako first."
Other expensive gifts are nothing, although the weight of this New Year's jade is not much, compared with the things Qing Zhiyuan gave, it is simply not worth mentioning.
However, for Hattori Hiroyuki, this [New Year's jade] is more expensive than previous gifts.
Mainly because -
It brings the relationship between the two families closer.
After all, giving [New Year's jade] is only done between people who have a good relationship. Colleagues, superiors and subordinates, ordinary business partners, etc., will not give New Year's jade.
It may be a little bit beyond the line, but Hattori Hiroyuki feels that Qing Zhiyuan's sense of crossing the line is just right.
White teeth!
He seems to like this guy more and more.
"It would be great if you also had a child." Hattori Hiroyuki said with a smile.
"Well, let it go." Qing Zhiyuan smiled.
"It's best to be a boy." Hattori Hiroyuki blinked.
"Thank you for your good words." Qing Zhiyuan raised his glass.
Qing Zhiyuan said that it didn't matter, as long as there was a child, a son or a daughter could be trained to be the heir.
It doesn't matter if they don't have talent, as long as they live happily.
After chatting about family matters, Hattori Hiroyuki began to discuss the release of the game with Qing Zhiyuan.
"Huh? Are you going to release two games directly this time?"
"Yes." Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously, "The sequels of Pokémon 3D World, Dark Side of the Moon and Myth of the Sun, are twin games. The two games can be said to be similar but opposite, just like a mirror relationship.
In terms of setting, one is based on the moon and the other is based on the sun."
You don't stop all year round, right?
Qing Zhiyuan said, this is just the beginning, our Pokémon project was 5 products, and you can't stand it after just releasing two products?
President Hattori, are you not good enough?
"Is it like CL and LL last time?" Hattori Hiroyuki asked.
"Not really." Qing Zhiyuan shook his head, "We hope to release two games at the same time this time."
"Huh?"
Hatsutori Hiroyuki was shocked, as if he had not expected Qing Zhiyuan to adopt such a strategy.
"But won't this affect each other's sales performance?"
Hatsutori Hiroyuki asked doubtfully.
After all, if two games are released at the same time, it seems that half of the promotional resources can be saved, but there may also be competition between them, resulting in poor sales of one of the games.
After all, players' attention is limited.
Money is also limited.
"Pokemon games are different from other games." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.
What they want is the effect of releasing two games at the same time. On the one hand, Qing Zhiyuan is full of confidence in their games, and there will definitely be no problems, just release them.
On the other hand, this twin structure is different from CL and LL.
CL and LL, although they also form a mirror relationship, they strictly follow the order of sequence in plot construction and description.
Players play CL first and then LL, and the experience of playing LL first and then CL is completely different.
The story of CL itself is very appealing. The tragic ending and the death of his wife and daughter are enough to create a huge impact.
LL is used to make up for regrets, and its essence is healing.
So one is destruction and the other is healing, and of course the destruction should be put first.
There is a particularly famous effect in psychology, called the peak-end rule.
That is to say, people's impression of a thing plays a critical role at the moment they stay at the end.
For example, when you go to a supermarket, the shopping experience is relatively ordinary, but when you walk to the checkout counter and walk out of the exit, there is free ice cream to take, then you will feel that this shopping trip is very pleasant.
This is also why Qing Zhiyuan wants to release LL after CL.
At least when players stay on LL, their hearts are healed, and it makes up for the regrets in CL.
Players have achieved perfection here.
However, the two new Pokémon games are different. Dark Side of the Moon and Myth of the Sun are independent stories. They are mirror images in settings, not in experiences.
In the game, players can get an independent and complete experience no matter which game they play, and they are all happy.
Then, if these two games are released together, not only will they not conflict with each other, but they will produce a strong chemical reaction because of the mirror relationship between each other.
In a sense, releasing "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Myth of the Sun" at the same time is more in line with the tradition of Pokémon.
Because Pokémon itself releases two different versions every time it is released, the purpose is to make the Pokémon obtained by players different, so as to promote their social behavior.
Although there is a little difference, the form is more familiar and accepted by players.
"Okay, I understand."
Hatsutori Hiroyuki nodded seriously.
"Then I will take 200,000 copies each."
...
After dinner, Hattori Hiroyuki got in the car.
Throw both game discs into the trash can.
Check-in completed.
...
In the following period of time, it was all promotional advertisements for new Pokémon games.
Since the news that [Totoro will join Pokémon] came, it was like a fuse was lit.
Advertisements for the two games followed, and the popularity of the game rose immediately.
The eye-catching pokeni became even more eye-catching.
Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Rentendo never dreamed that P Society would do this near the end of the year.
It was a king bomb!
Damn pokeni.
Rentendo's Super Mario 3D Adventure finally achieved good results, but who would have thought that Pokémon would come right after, and they were two games released at the same time!
"But isn't this a bit of a waste?"
Perhaps if the two games were sold separately, each could achieve a million sales, but if they were sold together, they might be discounted.
After all, players have limited money.
Time and energy are also limited.
...
Surprise!
The two Pokémon games released endless surprises.
Don't convince Hiroyuki Be that he has never seen such a surprise, and neither have the players.
"It's almost the Chinese New Year, I didn't expect pokeni to have a big surprise."
"It's quite a surprise."
“The announcement of Pokémon this time is completely unconventional. In the past, pokeni’s games almost always focused on releasing and promoting one game at a time.
But this time, the Pokémon came directly with a double yolk egg. "
"I've never seen two similar games played at the same time."
"It can't be because Pokeni made too much content and then dismantled the game and sold it, right?"
"Then it should be sold separately, front and back, right?"
"Whatever, at least I won't have to worry about having no games to play during the Chinese New Year."
"Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to it. Pokémon 3D World has given me a really good impression. It's really amazing for pokeni to be able to make such a game."
"To this day, Pokémon 3D is still the game I use to break the ice with strangers."
“Not to mention strangers, we often organize Pokémon games with familiar friends on weekends, and the whole process is fun.
Especially it can support 4 people playing. "
"You guys aren't doing anything weird, are you? The best thing to say is playing Pokémon!"
"I have now successfully dated several girls thanks to Pokémon 3D. Every time I come to my house to play, I roll onto the bed while playing!"
"Ah~ How can it be repaired! Where did Xian Chong come from? It really makes people jealous to death."
"The guy upstairs who is dating a girl, I think it's okay to lie to your buddies, but don't also lie to yourself."
"Hahahaha...you are deceiving yourself, right? Suddenly you have a sense of the picture."
…
After school in the afternoon, several children got together.
"Nene, have you heard that there is a new Pokémon game coming out?"
Sato Reiko rubbed her little hands and her cheeks were a little red from the cold. Her round face looked particularly cute.
"Hmm, that's great, I saw pokeni's advertisement!" The skinny monkey danced happily.
"Hmm, it seems like the holiday is coming soon." Uesugi Noboru said.
A breath of mist came out of his mouth when he spoke.
It's December now, but the weather has gotten colder and everyone is wearing thicker clothes.
His eyes were fixed on Reiko, and it looked like this guy was really freezing.
"Whose house would you like to go to this time?" Fat Bear asked.
"Xiao Sheng's family, right?" Reiko said with a smile.
I didn't expect a girl to be quite active in games.
Noboru Uesugi thought.
But he didn't refuse, "Okay, mom should be able to let us play for a few more days during the holiday. Remember to tell your family then, otherwise mom will definitely not agree."
The last time we played games at Noboru Uesugi's house, Uesugi's mother was already very worried. If we play games again, I wonder if she will lose her temper.
But, the main thing is that my friends are with me, so my mother won’t be too irritable for their sake.
Uesugi shivered involuntarily when he thought of his mother's devilish face.
"Xiao Sheng, are you feeling cold?" Reiko took out a pair of plush gloves from her pocket and handed them to him, "Wear mine."
"Huh? You don't even wear it yourself, is it really okay for you to give it to me?"
"It's okay, I'm not cold at all." Reiko smiled happily, her whole body shining brightly.
"Yeah! Then we can play Pokémon together again!"
"I think both Dark Side of the Moon and Sun Myth will introduce new Pokémon. I don't know what they are."
"The sun and the moon, I'm more curious about the moon."
"I like the sun better. Don't you think the sun is more mysterious? With such a high temperature, the Pokémon will be cooked as soon as it goes up, right?"
"Kekeke..."
Several children held their stomachs and laughed slightly.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they thought of the Pokémon being roasted.
"Would Pikachu taste good if it was roasted?"
"Kekeke..."
"That's so cruel of you. Pikachu is so cute, why do you want to eat it?" Reiko herself couldn't stop laughing, but she still objected out of pity.
"But, have you overlooked a very important issue?!" Skinny Monkey reminded from the side.
"what?"
"A Pokémon Dark Side of the Moon costs 6,900 yen, plus a Sun Myth..."
He counted on his fingers.
"It takes 13,800 yen." Reiko immediately gave the answer.
Among the children, Sato Reiko has the best academic performance. This is why their mothers like Reiko and hope that their sons will have more contact with Reiko.
Just so that Reiko can put them on the right track.
Unexpectedly, this little girl is more addicted to games than other boys.
"Ah! Do you actually want so much?!"
Uesugi Noboru and Fat Bear were both shocked.
The four children fell silent at the same time.
"Can we get together?" Reiko said.
"I think the game's release date seems to be January 1st, which is the Chinese New Year day. We can get a lot of jade by then."
As for Nian Yu, for neon children, there is probably a customary [charging standard]
It is calculated based on age.
The older the child, the more years he will receive.
For fourth-year elementary school students like them, their parents usually give them 5,000 yen as new year's money.
For relatives, they will probably give you around 3,000.
Friends also give me a range of 3,000 to 5,000.
If you are a high school student, the fee will rise to 10,000 yen.
College Students……
Under normal circumstances, after entering college, you rarely receive lucky money.
And Neon giving Nian Yu is really equivalent to giving pocket money to the children, which they can use to buy gifts and whatever they want.
For children, the Chinese New Year is also a rare way to get rich.
"If I'm lucky, I think I can get 20,000 to 30,000 yen in jade." Skinny Monkey said.
"Hmm, then we are pretty much the same."
"If that's the case, then let's collect the money and give it to Uesugi and entrust him with the purchase."
Sato Reiko raised her right hand happily.
"Okay, let's meet at the door of Uesugi's house at 12 noon on January 1st!"
…
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it’s the day before the Great Resurrection Day. After this day’s work is over, it’s time to have a holiday.
Among Renten Co., Ltd.:
"Happy New Year!"
"Then let's go first."
The members packed up their things, stood up, and said goodbye to Supervisor Shigeru Miyamoto.
"See you next year."
"Happy New Year!" Shigeru Miyamoto responded.
At the same time, he packed up his things and prepared to go home.
At this moment, he suddenly trembled.
"Nani?!"
horrible!
He suddenly remembered a very fatal question——
It’s Chinese New Year! ! !
No wonder Qing Zhiyuan wants to release two Pokémon together at this time! ! !
