"What is it?"
Hearing little Nezha's cautious voice, Gu Sheng turned around and looked at Shen Miaomiao.
"Just...can you sleep on the couch?"
Shen Miaomiao grinned, revealing an awkward yet polite smile.
Gu Sheng:?
"Why am I sleeping on the couch? What did I do wrong?"
Gu Sheng answered subconsciously.
But then I realized that this answer seemed to be a bit outdated.
"What I mean is..." Gu Sheng spread his hands: "Why would I sleep on the sofa when I have a perfectly good bed to sleep on?"
"Because... uh... because..."
Shen Miaomiao hesitated, her voice getting smaller and smaller:
"Because, uh, uh, uh..."
Gu Sheng was silent.
It took me five seconds to understand!
"No, you are the Onion King ? (Overcooked NPC)"
Gu Sheng's expression was speechless:
"Or is there a shoe insole in your mouth?"
"You are the Onion King! You have a shoe insole in your mouth!"
Shen Miaomiao jumped up directly from the sofa:
"Why are you talking so mean? I said I wanted to sleep on the sofa! Do you understand me?"
"no???"
Gu Sheng was confused:
"Because you sleep on the couch, I have to sleep on the couch with you? This... this doesn't make sense, right?"
"My truth is the truth!"
Shen Miaomiao didn't care and slapped the sofa:
"come over!"
Gu Sheng was speechless: "You are training a dog."
"That--"
Shen Miaomiao thought about it and patted the sofa again:
"please!"
"Good! Impressive!" Gu Sheng raised his thumb, then clasped his hands and said, "Brother!"
Shen Miaomiao was not to be outdone: "Second brother!"
"please!"
"please!"
"This bow——"
"Hahahaha, are you poor or not?"
Shen Miaomiao saw Gu Sheng walking towards her with square steps, she giggled and gave him a light kick:
"Go wash up quickly, it will be dawn soon..."
At this moment, Gu Sheng also realized why little Nezha insisted on letting him sleep on the sofa.
Needless to say, the previous escape experience definitely left her with a significant psychological trauma.
As the saying goes, whatever you think about during the day you dream about at night.
Little Nezha must be afraid of being woken up by some crazy people in the middle of the night.
Click…click…click…
In the living room, the hands of the clock passed by minute by minute.
The sound of heavy breathing was heard evenly.
The first ray of morning light slipped in through the gap in the living room curtains, walked across the smooth floor, rolled over the fluffy carpet, and tiptoed onto the sofa.
He gently stroked the girl's long eyelashes, slid across her slender neck, and then moved down to sit on her curled knees.
"Well...don't...don't chase...don't chase me..."
A soft mumbling sounded, and the girl seemed to be experiencing a tense pursuit in her sleep, and her legs, which had been curled up, began to move.
“Don’t chase!!!”
The next second, the dazed girl twitched all over, and her curled up slender thighs suddenly bounced up, completely forgetting that there was another enemy on the sofa.
call--
The smooth calves are stretched out, the feet are curled and tightened due to tension, and a rabbit kicks the eagle!
At this moment, the wronged person on the sofa also snorted: "Hmm?"
He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the girl.
Oh no.
The jailer that the warden had been thinking about has arrived.
The only drawback is that the speed is a bit fast.
Buzz——Bang!!!
…
"Wake up the fucking hell! What time is it and you're still sleeping? Do you still have the energy to sleep?!"
With a snap!
The data report hit him in the face, and Yamamoto jumped up from his seat with a start!
"Teacher!!!"
When he opened his bloodshot eyes, he saw Joetsu Kei standing in front of him.
Yamamoto Tsuna couldn't help but shudder, and quickly stood up and bowed to Shang Yue!
Yes.
Yamamoto didn't go home yesterday and slept in the office.
Not just today.
Yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday...
He has been in the office for a week.
no way.
As the situation escalated, Yiyu and Xun Teng's joint attack, one open and one covert, made them overwhelmed and miserable.
Konami is a huge company.
But Yiyu and Xun Teng are not pushovers either.
What's more, now the two of them have joined forces!
"Teacher...what are you looking for me for?"
Facing the furious Joetsu with a frown on his face, Yamamoto was genuinely afraid and trembled with fear.
"What's the matter?" Shang Yue glanced at him and said, "Let me ask you, it's been twelve hours since the release of Silent Hill. How are our sales now?"
In one sentence!
This question froze Yamamoto!
How would he know the sales? He just woke up!
"Private...Private Marseille!!!"
A 90-degree bow plus a private Marseille is considered a universal response in Japan.
"Then open your eyes and take a good look!"
Talking!
Jing Shangyue was pointing at the data reports scattered on the ground!
Yamamoto Tsuna did not dare to delay, and hurriedly bent over to collect all the reports and looked at them carefully!
A head-on attack!
The moment the first sales report appeared in front of him, Yamamoto felt his head buzzing!
Twelve hours!
Total worldwide sales of Silent Hill...
"Thirty...thirty thousand...sets?"
Twelve hours! Thirty thousand sets!
There are only 30,000 sets!
Even under the most ideal circumstances, their first-day sales would not exceed 50,000 sets!
Based on the price of $28 per set, their total sales on the first day were only over one million!
But you have to know that the cost of Silent Hill is as much as 67 million!
And games like Silent Hill are not like multiplayer online battle games, which can increase sales through subsequent updates!
Basically, first-day sales are the pinnacle for this type of game!
Although theoretically, for some games that did not receive enough pre-promotion, it is possible for sales to increase through secondary promotion after the game is released.
But Silent Hill is obviously not among them!
Because now, their promotion of Silent Hill has basically exceeded the coverage, and they have promoted it everywhere that can be promoted.
In terms of publicity, this game has reached its limit!
In other words, the first-day sales volume he saw now was already the upper limit of Silent Hill’s single-day sales!
It’s settled!
There will be less and less afterwards!
Yamamoto's hands suddenly began to tremble!
When I looked down again, I felt my legs go weak and I sat down on the chair with a thud!
Because below is the sales volume of Silent Hill’s competing projects!
original!
In the competitor information column, there are usually three or five games of the same type.
But because Konami and Golden Wind fought so hard!
Plus, horror games themselves are not a mainstream genre!
so!
At this moment, there is only one competitor in front of Yamamoto——
"escape"
According to statistics, the total sales volume of the twelve-hour escape was...
Yamamoto Tsuna shuddered all over!
180,000 sets!
It’s six times that of Silent Hill!!!
Its first-day sales are estimated to be around 250,000 units!
30,000 sets versus 180,000 sets sold in twelve hours!
First day sales: 50,000 units versus 250,000 units!
This is no longer a disastrous defeat!
This is a crushing defeat!
A one-sided crushing victory with a huge disparity in strength!
Yamamoto Tsuna finally understood why the teacher angrily slapped the report in his face early in the morning!
Jyoukoshi Keimasa is already very merciful!
With the sales volume and cost right in front of him, Shang Yue would not be able to refute a single word even if he was asked to eat the report!
Swipe!
Trembling, Yamamoto turned the pages and looked at the many comments in the second report file.
"Escape crushes Silent Hill! Basically secured victory on the first day!"
"The old-fashioned monster-killing routine, is Konami really not suitable for horror games?"
"Outlast is well received, while Silent Hill is not popular "
[…It is not difficult to see that Silent Hill without Sam only looks similar, but the separation of the soul makes Silent Hill become the walking dead just like the monsters in the game]
[Unarmed is always the answer to horror games. Apparently, Silent Hill's new generation producer Yamamoto Tsuna didn't realize this...]
[Major Waterloo! Silent Hill is likely to create the biggest loss tragedy in Konami's history! ]
'I was originally quite objective, I bought Silent Hill, now I just want Geneva to give me my money back!!!'
"No? If I want to kill monsters, why don't I play Resident Evil 4 on PC? Isn't Li Sanguang's whip kick better than your brain-dead murderer protagonist?"
"I really don't understand the plot of Silent Hill. I am here to play a murderer and destroy the body in Silent Hill?"
"That's a good idea, but don't think about it next time. I have other uses for your pig brain."
'There is a kind of beauty that has a paronychia on the brain'
"Lin Xiao you..."
"Don't be so mean, this game is worthy of being compared with Resident Evil 4? You are pointing your finger at Shinji Misho! This is not as good as Resident Evil 5/6!"
"Huh? Biochemical also has 5 and 6?"
"The somatosensory cabin version of "Resident Evil: Killing" and "Resident Evil: Stampede" is not by Shinji Misho. Players usually call it the fifth and sixth part, but it's too late to make it. I don't know if it's normal."
"No? Did anyone really buy those two Resident Evil movies? So it seems that I am not the ultimate injustice by buying Silent Hill."
"Whoever buys this thing I will laugh at him for a year..."
'Silent Hill wasn't supposed to be like this!'
"Yamamoto I said you are my ancestor!!!"
'Now, you know who to Fvk, right?'
"……"
"This... this... this is simply..."
Yamamoto's chest heaved up and down. All the sarcastic comments made him furious, as if he was falling into an icy cave!
Without a doubt!
Among these negative reviews, there must be something wrong with China's Xun Teng!
But the problem is that nowadays the negative reviews are overwhelming, and it is impossible to tell who is a ghost and who is a human!
and!
The failure of Silent Hill sales is an established fact!
"What the hell is this? This is simply the biggest stain on my career!"
Seeing that Yamamoto couldn't say a word for a long time, Joetsu Kei slammed the table and roared!
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
"You think you have a big project like "Yakuza" in your hands, plus the horror revival IP "Silent Hill", and you want to monopolize the two projects?"
"You've got it wrong, idiot!"
Talking!
Keizo Joetsu stood up, snatched the report from Yamamoto's hand, turned to the last page, and slammed it on the table!
Bang!
"Take a good look for yourself!!!"
That’s it!
Without looking back, he walked out of the office angrily!
Bang!
The office door slammed shut, and the wind blew the report on the table. Yamamoto Tsunami grabbed it in a panic and looked over -
Project: Extreme Racing
Expected first-day sales: 210,000 units
12-hour sales: 78,000 sets
Estimated first-day sales: 108,000 units
Sales volume fell by 48.57% year-on-year
Sales volume cut in half!
good!
Affected by the impact of Silent Hill, another game "Yakuza" produced by Yamamoto Tsuna himself was also affected, and its sales were cut in half!
Yamamoto Tsuna, who originally planned to do both, suffered a ruthless backlash from his greed.
and!
Not only that!
Looking through the sales data of other works released during the same period, it can be seen that all games released by Konami during the same period have been affected to varying degrees by this incident!
The lower the drop, the higher the drop is around 25%!
Silent Hill Fiasco!
Extreme Crazy Storm cut in half!
The overall sales of other works in the same period have declined!
And all of this stems from his own greed, wanting to become the leader of the three major Konami companies in contemporary times!
Boom!
In an instant!
Yamamoto Tsuna's mind went blank!
The hand holding the report slammed weakly on the desk.
Silent Hill alone cost $67 million, but its first-day sales were only $1 million, which was enough to make him pay the price.
Not to mention other projects affected by this!
This time!
The collision with Golden Wind brought Konami an astronomical figure in direct or indirect losses!
[Think about it carefully]
Suddenly!
Yamamoto Tsuna thought of the words that Joekoshi Keima left before he left.
original!
He thought that it was just Shangyue's angry words, which were spoken out of frustration.
But now it seems...things are far from that simple!
Such a big basket, such a huge loss!
Although theoretically speaking, this was ultimately just a wrong project investment and a failed market collision.
but!
Because the amount involved is too huge!
In order to give an explanation to the board of directors, Shangyue Jingzheng must find someone to take the blame!
And looking at Konami as a whole.
The most suitable person to be the scapegoat is also the one who has the most direct relationship with this wrong decision...
It’s him, Yamamoto Tsuna!
The head of the three royal families?
Dream on!
Now, it is a question whether he can continue to stay in this company!
Think of this!
Yamamoto Tsuna jumped up from his seat and pushed the door open!
"Teacher! Teacher! Please listen to my explanation..."
…
“…I really didn’t mean it!”
at the same time!
Shen Miaomiao was carefully applying medicine to Gu Sheng's eye sockets.
At this time, the outer side of Gu Sheng's right eye socket was bruised, red and swollen, and it was showing signs of developing into a panda eye.
Shen Miaomiao bit her lips hard, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, trying hard not to laugh out loud:
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Gu Sheng bared his teeth and glared at Little Nezha: "Your apology is not sincere at all, right? You were obviously smiling the whole time!"
"Hey! What are you talking about! Mr. Gu!"
Little Nezha spread the last bit of medicine evenly on Gu Sheng and said seriously:
"I have received professional training. No matter how funny it is, I will not laugh..."
"Really?" Gu Sheng squinted his swollen right eye and looked at little Nezha.
"Really!" Shen Miaomiao bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "I won't laugh at you no matter who laughs at you!"
"What if you laugh?"
"May God send five thunderbolts to strike me!"
"That's not necessary. Just take care of all the housework this week."
"OK!"
"Is it a deal?"
“Hook!”
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao stretched out her hand and shook hands with Gu Sheng.
However, the two of them just hooked their little fingers together!
Then Gu Sheng called Shen Miaomiao: "Hey, look at me."
"Ah?" Shen Miaomiao didn't understand and looked up.
Gu Sheng tilted his head back and said:
"Young people have no martial ethics and stole things from me, a 69-year-old comrade... When I got the wine, I kicked him with a left kick and a right whip kick..."
A moment!
Shen Miaomiao's face was distorted, and her eyes showed shock, as if she couldn't believe that a person could be so mean.
"I hope you... Mouse Tail Paper, reflect on this carefully..."
Gu Sheng patted Shen Miaomiao on the shoulder.
And Shen Miaomiao couldn't help it any longer, and fell on the sofa with a puff of laughter!
“Hahahahahahaha this is too similar…you dog, hahahaha…”
"You're deliberately making me laugh, hahahahahahaha..."
"You're cheating!!!"
