Chapter 288 The Last Train

After Miyamoto Kentaro and Ashida Aina parted ways, they took the last train back to Shinjuku City.Before I went to college, I really didn’t know how to take the subway.

After he went to college, he learned how to take this kind of public transportation.Although there are empty seats in each carriage, it does not mean that there are few people.

Miyamoto Kentaro found an empty seat and sat down.Even if he drank a lot of wine, he was still not drunk.He didn't feel drowsy, but instead observed the other people in the same carriage.

He could easily see the obvious signs of exhaustion on their faces.Some people simply close their eyes and take a nap.Nine times out of ten, this is caused by long hours of overtime work.

In Japan, especially in Minato City, Tokyo, where companies gather, it is common to work overtime until late at night.

However, for ordinary migrant workers, even if they work in the port area, it does not mean that they can live in the port area.The rent in the port area is so expensive that ordinary migrant workers cannot afford it.

Even ordinary white-collar workers with official membership status in large companies will still find rent in Minato City to be expensive if there is no housing subsidy or the rent provided by their own company is cheap and the welfare dormitory is much lower than the market price.

Therefore, they work in Minato City, the central area, or the sub-urban area, but they cannot live here and are forced to rent in non-urban areas where rent is cheaper.This is often on the edge of Tokyo.

On weekdays, they would get up early. Especially in winter, when it is dark, they can still go out and look at the moon and stars. When they return to their residence, they can also see the stars and moon hanging in the night sky.

If you work as a worker, you have a soul as a worker. If you work as a worker, you are superior to others. It is completely a kind of self-deprecation and self-deprecation for workers.As for buying a house in Tokyo, I simply don’t dare to think about it.

As a college student majoring in sociology at Waseda University, Miyamoto Kentaro already understood that these ordinary workers had to stop their hands and stop their mouths, and they were completely different from being reincarnated and lucky like himself.

Many of them have to rely on their personal willpower to go to work even if they have a fever or body aches for the sake of the meager monthly perfect attendance bonus.

It's not that they like it at all, but that they have no choice.Who would do that if they really had money?Everything was caused by lack of money.

When we arrived at Shinjuku Station, the subway door opened and Kentaro Miyamoto walked out.He returned to this familiar yet unfamiliar place.You can definitely take a taxi back from the port area.

The reason why he didn't do that was because he suddenly wanted to take the last subway.He had never sat down before.

From a certain perspective, I am also trying my luck.He really didn't know the time of the last train, unlike ordinary migrant workers who kept it in mind.

Once they miss the last train home, they can only choose to stay in an Internet cafe for a night or stay in a capsule apartment.

Otherwise, you can only go to a 24-hour convenience store or a fast food restaurant and make do with it overnight.Taking a taxi back would be very expensive.This is an initial exclusion option.

Kentaro Miyamoto returned to his residence in Kagurazaka.He didn't rush to take a shower and then went to bed.I was in good spirits and even took a can of Coca-Cola from the refrigerator.

He opened it directly, drank it, and walked to the entertainment room.He sat down on the computer chair, raised his right hand and turned on the computer.

Miki Fujiwara, who had moved directly from Kentaro Miyamoto’s grandmother’s house to live with him, appeared and said, “It’s so late, you’re not going to sleep?”

Kentaro Miyamoto smiled at her and said, "Aren't I worried that it will affect you?" Fujiwara Miki said bluntly, "Don't come. Are you going to stay up all night playing games again tonight?"

Kentaro Miyamoto nodded and said: "You still know me best. Didn't Bandai Co., Ltd. recently launch a well-received new MMORPG "Blue Protocol"?

Although I downloaded it, I never had time to play it.Things at Xiaohe Film and Television Company gradually increased.Brother Xiushu would insist on asking me to come over for meetings from time to time.

I was too embarrassed to decline, after all, he didn’t even spend his honeymoon because of his work.What other reasons can I have to shirk it? "

Fujiwara Miki didn't understand: "Tomorrow is Saturday, can't you just take your time and play?"

Kentaro Miyamoto pointed out: “Whether a new MMORPG game is popular or not depends not on the number of people online during the day, but on the number of people online in the middle of the night.

Those who stay up late playing games during this time period are definitely the core users of the game.These talents are the foundation of the entire game.

How to attract kryptonians to continuously create value for game companies?First of all, there must be enough online players.Otherwise, it will directly greatly reduce the pleasure of being able to dominate the game.

Bandai is one of the largest comprehensive entertainment companies in Japan, mainly involved in entertainment, Internet, animation products and peripherals.

The number and variety of science fiction, animation, and tokusatsu models it produces ranks first in the world.The most famous work of this company is the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series.

Not only that, in addition to toys and children's entertainment, Bandai's global product reach also includes game software, multimedia, music, feature films, vending machines, game cards, candy, licensed clothing and models, etc.

A considerable part of its main business overlaps with the complete ACGN ecological chain I envisioned to create.It’s also a piece of the puzzle that I can’t get around and that I need very much. "

Fujiwara Miki heard the true meaning of his words and said: "Do you want to acquire Bandai Company?"

Miyamoto Kentaro laughed and said: "I would like to, but at the moment we don't have such strong strength. Although Hideki brother and Takuma brother have strong strength to acquire, they are not interested in Bandai Company at all.

I knew I couldn't convince any of them.Even if Takuma-nii and Hideki-nii were involved, they would not be able to help me.

At best, they will make very limited investments.Rather than being optimistic about investment projects, it is more about investments in human relationships.I bought stocks in many companies, including the famous Sony.

Why haven't you bought Bandai's stock?It's not that I don't like it, but once I buy it, I plan to make a tender offer.

If I did not have an absolute controlling stake in Bandai, it would not be easy for me to completely divest some of its businesses in the future.

I only need those businesses from Bandai that can connect with the complete ecological chain of ACGN that I envision. "
