When it comes to Otamatsu Masashi, he has been anxious these past few days.
In the office, he occasionally picks up the phone to dial a number, only to hang up quickly because he can't get through.
At the entrance, more and more children are gathering...
With just one Famicom game console and one Super Mario game, just now, as soon as the door opened, more than thirty children rushed in with coins in hand, lining up to play.
Even those who don't play will eagerly watch other children play the game console.
It seems that watching others play is also a kind of fun.
And this was only at nine o'clock in the morning.
He still remembers the peak period yesterday afternoon from three to four o'clock, when nearly a hundred children were gathered.
They were all crowded around the game console, holding queue numbers in their hands, and there were even a dozen or so adults among them.
It seems that the attraction of that thing to adults is quite significant as well.
Some passersby outside would also curiously glance over here, wondering what was happening here to attract so many children.
This is something he could never have imagined in the past.
And the more he sees such scenes, the more anxious and impatient he becomes.
Why is there only one game console!
If he had ten game consoles now, wouldn't that mean his game console revenue would skyrocket tenfold?
The revenue from one game console often has its limits, and as the children become more skilled at playing, it's normal for each child to play for seven or eight minutes on average now.
The longer the children play, the more it pains him.
Because this would further affect the earning efficiency of one game console.
This makes him even more eager to have more game consoles.
And it's not over yet.
After the children reluctantly leave around eight or nine o'clock at night and have to go home, the game console belongs to the adults at night and into the early morning.
That group of office workers and some Heisei NEETs can actually stay in front of this game console all night.
With just five or six people, they can play from around nine o'clock at night until around eight o'clock in the morning when they go to work. Sometimes their income at night is even higher than during the day because the adults at night are not as skilled as the children in playing games and die quickly.
Now this game console is earning him nearly thirty thousand yen in revenue per day on average.
In other words, he could break even in just one week.
This is simply a huge profit.
The profit from one machine in a day has never been so high for Otamatsu's managed enterprises.
Of course, he also knows that this can only be considered as early profits, but this is enough.
Even if this kind of popularity can only be maintained for a month, he will earn a lot until then.
At this moment, he finally realizes the value of this thing.
So now, he is even more eager to immediately get the remaining nine machine orders.
No.
Not nine.
At least... at least twenty!
Even if one machine costs two hundred thousand, he'll buy it!
Finally, he seems to have made a decision.
He dials the phone...
"This is the Takayuki residence. If you have any business, please leave a message after the beep, and I will call you back as soon as possible."
Otamatsu: "..."
Takayuki-kun, can't you just buy a phone!
Right! That Tashiro Hiroshi!
Suddenly, Otamatsu Masashi remembered the salesman who came to him a few days ago.
All he knew was that the salesman seemed eager to talk business with Takayuki and then came to his side.
But at that time, he was a bit impatient and didn't want to talk to this person.
But now, it seems that he can only hope to quickly find Takayuki through this salesman.
He immediately rushed to his office desk and started searching through the drawers.
"Hey! Have you seen a business card? It's from some electronic company!"
After searching for a while and not finding it, Otamatsu Masashi began to shout loudly.
The cleaning staff was startled, and for a moment, they didn't remember about the business card.
"I'm asking you a question. Have you seen a business card?"
"Manager... there are so many business cards here. Every day, many people give us various business cards to sell their products."
Otamatsu Masashi took a big step toward the staff member in front of him, staring at him with wide eyes. "Where did they all go?"
The staff member was really a bit frightened by the manager's appearance.
Originally, Otamatsu Masashi was a bald man, a bit tough-looking, after all, his business was related to the yakuza, so it was inevitable that he would have a bit of a yakuza aura.
The staff member was momentarily taken aback by the manager's strange behavior.
"In... in the back alley of the shop, I just collected it last night..."
Before the staff member could finish his sentence, Otamatsu Masashi had already rushed to the alley behind the shop.
At this moment, a garbage truck happened to be preparing to dump trash.
"Stop!"
Otamatsu Masashi's roar was full of vigor, showing that he must have been a fierce man when he was young.
The worker preparing to dump the garbage was also startled, and then, as if seeing a ghost, he saw Otamatsu Masashi rushing to the garbage bin and frantically searching.
After about three or four minutes of searching, he finally found the bag of trash belonging to his office and then found the business card of Tashiro Hiroshi from it.
Tashiro Hiroshi, Sales Department Salesman, Shen Da Electronics Co., Ltd.
That's it!
The garbage truck worker stared at Otamatsu Masashi.
Is this guy crazy?
Just now, his roar almost knocked him out, and then, just for a business card?
These things are piled up in their garbage dump in heaps, and there are too many to count.
Otamatsu Masashi ignored the worker's strange look and quickly took out his flip phone to dial the number on the business card.
In the end, Otamatsu Masashi managed to find the address of the company Takegami Hoshi had just used through Tashiro Hiroshi's line.
"Watch the shop for me. I'm going out for a bit."
Otamatsu Masashi said and immediately drove to the address given by Tashiro Hiroshi.
...
Today is the day of the renovation acceptance.
Thanks to Takayuki's generosity, it was a rare good business in the days of the bubble bursting, and the renovation company was very enthusiastic.
It took three days to complete the renovation of these three floors.
Of course, the main renovation was on the first floor, and the renovations on the second and third floors were simple. Takayuki only needed the basic working conditions on the second and third floors.
Otherwise, the delivery period for his first ten game consoles would be delayed.
And Takayukii had just contacted Tashiro Hiroshi again, and they were going to send a batch of five hundred circuit boards this afternoon.
The shell packaging was also in place, and the employees would be officially on duty in the afternoon.
However, what Takayuki didn't expect was that Otamatsu Masashi would come at this time.
"Otamatsu-kun, why are you..."
"Takayuki-kun, you really should buy a phone, or else you'll lose a lot of business!"
As soon as Otamatsu Masashi got out of the car, he gave a heartfelt piece of advice.
Originally, Otamatsu Masashi had anticipated that he would immediately talk about the game console as soon as he got out of the car.
But when he saw the appearance of this company, he already had a clue in his heart, and at the same time, he felt half cold in his heart.
This company has just been renovated. When will the game console be delivered? Could it be delayed?
"Oh, right, I've actually bought a phone already, but I didn't tell you."
Takayuki took out his phone.
