Soon, the two arrived at the arcade area, where there were only two arcade machines, but a large crowd had gathered around them.
Since the hotel guests were all people of high status, there was not much noise; everyone just had satisfied smiles on their faces.
This alone suggests that this game console must be very fun.
Driven by curiosity, Yokota Ichiro squeezed in and finally saw the true face of Mount Lu.
Inside the game console, blocks of different shapes were being manipulated by the player, constantly changing direction and slowly falling downwards.
At the same time, each time the block rotates, it emits a chirping sound, and the musical quality is simply perfect.
Yokota Ichiro only watched for a short while before he understood how to play the game. It was extremely simple; anyone with hands could play.
He was originally planning to watch for a while longer, but Alice, who was beside him, was probably hungry because she had exerted too much energy in the afternoon, so she reached out and gently pulled his arm.
"Honey, I'm so hungry. How about we go eat first, and I'll play with you when we get back?"
As she spoke, Alice used her impressive assets to rub back and forth on Yokota Ichiro's arm.
Feeling the softness against his arm, Yokota Ichiro stepped out of the crowd, revealing a lewd expression, and said in a low voice.
"Okay, let's go eat first, we'll deal with you later when we get back."
"Then I'll wait for you."
Alice blushed and took Yokota Ichiro's arm, and the two walked towards the restaurant...
Tonight, the two of them ate Western food. In addition to the usual dishes, Yokota Ichiro ordered an extra serving of oysters.
However, Alice said she couldn't enjoy it because it was eaten raw.
After finishing their meal, the two linked arms and went to the lounge area, but unfortunately, there were only two game consoles, so they couldn't play any.
...
The next day, Yokota Ichiro slept until noon before slowly opening his eyes. Looking around, he saw that Alice was already gone.
"That's right, I paid this morning."
Yokota Ichiro rubbed his cheeks, savoring the madness of last night.
But is the aftereffect really that strong?
Even after all this time, there's still a stale oyster smell on my lips.
Yokota Ichiro smiled and shook his head, then couldn't help licking his lips before getting up to wash and brush his teeth...
In the lounge area, in the same spot, two game consoles were surrounded by a crowd, but Yokota Ichiro didn't squeeze through this time.
Yesterday he had clearly seen that the star-shaped markings on these two game consoles were exactly the same as the markings on the pagers he sold.
So he went to the hotel reception, took out his room key, and extended his stay for another night. After a quick lunch, he took a taxi to the Lixin Building…
In the manager's office of Lixin Building, Mr. Huo had just finished lunch and was about to take a short rest when his beautiful secretary walked in to report.
"Manager, Mr. Yokota is here again. He says he has something urgent to discuss with you."
"Bring him in!"
"Okay." The beautiful secretary turned and left.
A moment later, Yokota Ichiro met Young Master Huo again. After sitting down, he ordered a cup of coffee as usual.
Then Young Master Huo asked, "President Yokota, didn't we sign a contract yesterday? What are you doing today...?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Huo," Yokota Ichiro said, rising and bowing before continuing.
“Yesterday at my hotel, I found something really interesting. It had star-shaped markings on it. I wonder if it’s a new product from your company?”
Upon hearing Yokota Ichiro's description, Young Master Huo was first taken aback, and then suddenly realized what was going on.
"You mean game consoles? What's wrong? Is President Yokota interested?"
"Yes, Mr. Huo may not know, but although the game industry has only been around for a few years, my family happens to be in this business, with more than fifty stores. Therefore, I would like to purchase a batch. I wonder what the price would be?"
"I see! Since President Yokota is patronizing my business, thank you. Each game console costs about $3,700. How many do you want to buy?"
"What?!" Yokota Ichiro was stunned into silence; this was simply outrageous.
“Mr. Huo, our Japanese version of ‘Space Invaders’ only costs $3,500. Why is yours so expensive?”
Young Master Huo smiled and spread his hands, "This is the landed price, it's normal for it to be a little more expensive."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, if that's the case, I might as well go back and buy it from our country's distributor."
"Agent?"
Young Master Huo chuckled, "I'm sorry, President Yokota, your country doesn't have a distributor yet, so I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Young Master Huo originally thought that Yokota Ichiro would be disappointed after hearing this, but he didn't expect that this guy would have such a wild imagination.
Far from being disappointed, he felt as if he had struck gold.
"Really? Mr. Huo, how about I become your agent? Just like pagers these days."
"This...?" Young Master Huo seemed very troubled.
This doesn't mean he won't do business when it comes to him, but rather that he is very strict in selecting agents, and not just anyone can do it.
He had originally planned to contact a well-established game company as a partner, but Yokota Ichiro unexpectedly interfered.
"Mr. Huo, what are you still hesitating about? I know the rules. As long as you offer a discount, I can help you sell it."
After listening to Yokota Ichiro's words, Young Master Huo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Okay! I can agree to that, but the deposit must be $5 million. Is that alright?"
"No problem." Yokota Ichiro agreed quite readily.
However, he wasn't without any demands; he then asked to see the prototype.
If it's a good match, the two sides can continue to negotiate; if not, they can only part ways.
The request was simple, and Young Master Huo immediately got up and led him to the next room, where there was a ready-made game console.
Who knew that once Yokota Ichiro got into it, he lost track of time and only stopped because Young Master Huo reminded him repeatedly.
Immediately afterwards, Ichiro Yokota contacted the mainland and sent professionals and lawyers to Hong Kong Island to conduct negotiations.
That night, Yokota Ichiro was in high spirits and called Alice over to join in the fun. The two engaged in an exceptionally intense encounter, filling the room with the smell of oysters…
The following afternoon, representatives from Japan arrived, and negotiations began between the two sides.
After several rounds of negotiation and careful consideration of each clause, the contract was finally signed.
Apart from the $5 million deposit, everything else in this negotiation, including annual sales volume and payment methods, was explained in detail.
The landed price of each machine has been reduced to $3,200, and will be reduced by another $100 next year, marking the end of the third consecutive year.
At the same time, since it was the first contract signed, Ichiro Yokota placed an order for 20,000 units, and according to the regulations, he also had to pay a 30% deposit, which amounted to US$19.2 million.
After the contract was signed, the beautiful secretary immediately brought out champagne.
Young Master Huo reached for his wine glass and raised his hand in greeting, "President Yokota, I wish us a pleasant collaboration."
Yokota Ichiro also raised his glass, bowing and scraping, "It's been a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Huo, cheers."
That evening, Mr. Leung, the head of the Hong Kong Island Xinhua News Agency, once again visited the Fok family at their invitation and had a long conversation with Mr. Fok.
