Recently, TV stations will almost every once in a while bring out the incident of beating people with game cartridges, and then ask a few professors to criticize it, thinking that this way the ratings will improve.
The Japanese government responded quickly, and some members began to consider conducting a serious inspection of video games.
This is a brand new industry with many uncertainties, and perhaps some policy restrictions should be added.
For example, restrict the sale of certain categories of game cartridges.
However, some members of Congress hold objections. They find that video games are slowly activating people's purchasing power and revitalizing the entire social market a little bit.
This is actually a good thing in a sluggish market environment.
In short, the government has different opinions, and no new legislation has been enacted for a while.
In fact, the government is not stupid. They clearly see that this is a retaliation by the TV station camp against emerging industries.
Just like the plutocrats in the newspaper office are attacking the upstarts of the Internet, the Japanese government only plans to wait and see for the time being.
If the situation worsens, they will step in.
Now it's just the TV stations themselves who are shouting. Their subordinate companies and newspapers are not directly involved. Even when they publish articles related to video games, they are relatively conservative.
In particular, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper affiliated with TV Tokyo is still praising video games.
There is even a section that serializes business news about video games for a long time.
Naturally, the person in charge of this section is Tian Chong.
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 also continued to expand, the newspaper simply gave him a long-term tofu section, dedicated to serializing all news about video games.
He was also promoted to a small editor-in-chief, and he was very proud of it.
When he saw talk shows on television that denigrated video games, he didn't hesitate to criticize those TV stations in return.
Accusing them of being short-sighted, in which industry have we never seen such fights? Such things were not even brought to the table in the past.
Just after Tian Chong finished editing the latest video game section news today, he received a notification.
A newspaper director came to him and 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 company is the leader of the chaebol. Why would such a big shot suddenly call me over?
Is there something wrong with my work? No, just because of this, I am not qualified to be called over by the director for a talk.
Or...what you do has attracted attention from above, and you are planning to give yourself a promotion and a salary increase?
This possibility is very high.
After all, if something went wrong, they would just pack up and leave.
His mood suddenly became much more exciting.
However, when he entered the director's office, he immediately became groveling, carefully knocked on the door and entered the director's office.
This director is a powerful executive director with a very high status in the newspaper office. He is a real chaebol. On weekdays, such a chaebol rarely appears in the newspaper office. Is there any purpose behind his appearance today?
While Tian Chong was thinking about it, he immediately made a ninety-degree bow as he entered the door.
"Specialist Fujii, please find me."
"Well, Tian Chongsang, come on, come on, sit down."
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 years old, but you can't tell it at all. He looks like he is in his early forties at most.
This is very different from the image of many chaebols.
Although he was burly, he was very approachable. He smiled at Tian Chong in a friendly manner and waved him to sit at his desk.
Tian Chong immediately walked over in fear 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 business sector of the video game category. This is a business project with great potential and deserves continued attention."
"Well, I think so too, so I called you here specifically to tell you one thing. After reviewing it with other directors, I feel that the development prospects of electronic games are good, and your electronic game business sector can be expanded."
Tian Chong's breathing was stagnant.
really!
Sure enough, it’s pretty much what I guessed!
He was already ecstatic in his heart.
He has been the editor of the newspaper for about thirteen or four years.
He has also gradually transformed from a young man who once had great ambitions into a greasy middle-aged man.
When the economic bubble burst, he actually planned to lay down completely, settle down as a small editor, do his job well, and then wait until retirement.
Unexpectedly, however, the emergence of video games changed him.
First, he really likes video games, and then he publishes articles about video games in newspapers.
Then video games developed rapidly, and his superiors directly asked him to take charge of a small section dedicated to publishing business news related to video games.
I didn't expect that.
The ambition I once had when I was young actually showed signs of being realized as I gradually lay down.
Even though he was already in his thirties, he was still unspeakably excited when he suddenly heard such news.
Fujii smiled: "Don't get too excited. It's hard to say whether video games can really develop into a big business now. If the development of video games fails in the future, your position will fall back to the bottom."
After hearing this, Tian Chong immediately thought of the TV stations' criticism of video games during this period.
I vow to have a posture that will never give up until video games are crushed.
In the face of video games, the television field is still a giant, and it is very difficult to resist.
"I understand, I will try my best to do this job well!"
"I believe you, okay, I have other things to do, you can leave."
"Commissioner Fujii will be busy first, and I will prepare for a new job immediately!"
Tian Chong walked out of the office and punched the air several times in excitement, releasing the excitement in his heart.
He never did this when he was young.
I have to ask my wife to prepare more good wine and food tonight to celebrate!
By the way, there is a more important thing. Find a way to maintain video games. This is your own territory. You must not let video games be suppressed easily, otherwise your business sector will be gone.
In Fujii's office, after Tian Chong left, he opened his computer with great interest and logged into the homepage of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
Among them, they are still promoting their own games step by step, and there are also some data that they have released to the outside world.
"I didn't expect that the little guy from Zhuyou's family could make something so casual. It's only been less than a year... Well, how much is my share?"
