================================================================

Hirohito Tomita is a salesman at a well-known circuit board manufacturer in Tokyo.

In the previous years, the company had been doing very well.

Orders were flying in like snowflakes.

At that time, the national economy was rising day by day, like a rocket.

At the same time, the need for a higher standard of living was becoming more and more acute.

This gave rise to the rapid expansion of industries such as personal computers, televisions and mobile phones.

In addition, the technological level of this parallel world in the 1990s was equivalent to the level of Bamboo Youxing's previous life ten years later, and small mobile phones were already popular.

Companies specialising in the production of circuit boards for various products naturally flourished and made a lot of money.

This is how Hirohito Tomita's family made their way to the middle class.

However, these good times did not last long.

Although the level of technology was ten years ahead of its time, history did not change much.

The Japanese bubble that happened on Earth in Takeshi's previous life also exploded at the same time in this world.

From that moment onwards, the people were in mourning.

They stopped being obsessed with the high consumption they once had and began to scrimp and save everywhere.

Personal computers, high-end televisions, mobile phones and other products were no longer a necessity.

The efficiency of circuit board manufacturers has also started to fall off, and they can only rely on a small number of orders from high-end automated machinery and equipment to keep them afloat.

In the past, the rocket rose as fast as it could, and now the rocket exploded and fell as fast as it could.

He, the salesman, is also on the verge of failing to make ends meet.

Thanks to the lifetime employment system of Japanese companies, he still has a decent job, plus his family has always been more conservative, not reckless investment, but also did not hit too hard under the bubble, is considered the most fortunate wave of thousands of families.

It's just that there is less and less demand for high-end consumer goods, and things like electronics are the kind of things that are most dispensable.

His salary as a salesman, even with lifetime employment tied to him, is now pitifully low, at best only enough to keep the family fed and cover basic expenses.

Especially recently, the leaders above them have been giving them orders like crazy, and if they don't complete them, they will be met with a dirt floor plus four hours a day of scolding from the leaders.

He is now under infinite pressure, and the only thing that makes him feel better is seeing his happy children and thoughtful wife at home, making him realise that the company's dirt floor and scolding is worth it.

So even though things are worse now, he tries to save some to buy his child things he likes so that he can be beaming.

However, today the child suddenly said he wanted something brand new and it sounded like it had something to do with the TV.

He, a salesman who had been tortured by his leader for almost a week, couldn't help but have his brain start moving.

"Come son, tell me exactly what's going on and what this little man you say is moving around on the TV is for."

When he heard that his father seemed interested, Tomodao became even happier.

Looks like Dad will be able to satisfy himself again this time!

"Daddy is like this ..."

At this moment in time, Takeshi Yusei had been running around with Ari Hayasawa for over a week, and basically the two of them had finished raiding all the parks in their neighborhood.

He wanted to do more, but it seems that yesterday he had been targeted by the police officers who warned him that he could not just set up a stall, and that if he wanted to do so, he had to go to a designated free market.

So plans to continue promoting the game had to end for now.

But with so many places to go, the video game has basically started to spread among the kids.

It even took on a bit of an urban legend feel.

So he changed his mind and prepared his next plan, which was to try to recruit some more people and see if he could find a company that made electrical appliances to try out some of the first generation Red and White consoles.

He also said that he had come at the right time, just in time to catch the last train of the electronic product industry, where small workshops could become very rich.

In the 70s and 80s, Steve Jobs assembled a personal computer with two people in his garage, and Nintendo built the first prototype red and white console with only three or four people.

There was even Bill Gates who was able to earn thousands of dollars with just two people after learning the Basic programming language at the age of 13.

If this were to happen two thousand years later, there would be no way to grow without assembling an R&D and manufacturing team of several hundred people.

The myth of the rich and famous is also becoming increasingly rare.

The red and white machine in front of us now has some experience from Zhu Youxing's previous life, plus a simple game system written in Basic language, which he had rarely dabbled in in his previous life, and an employee who is a professional in electronics and electrical appliances, but it is barely built and put together.

Of course, the main reason for this was that the console system itself was much simpler than a personal computer and did not require such complex knowledge to build.

But if he wanted to develop it, it would be impossible to do so with just one prototype.

He would need to produce some more consoles, or at least, a batch of consoles that could be used in entertainment halls before he could do so.

"Takeyu-san, what are you doing?"

Ari Hayasawa, who was finally able to rest, felt as if she had been dreaming for the past two days.

She was paid every day, and all she had to do was check the prototype for any bugs every day.

Right now she was sipping juice through a straw while curiously looking at the computer screen in front of Takeshi Yusei.

"I'm working on a project."

"A business plan? You're finally going to sell a product? I'm telling you, it's a big hit with the kids, it's going to be a big seller!"

"I don't know yet." But Bamboo Youxing shook his head.

In this world, there were no competitive counterparts though.

However, the other entertainment industries in this world were quite strong and attracted the majority of people, and trying to get these people to pull out of their original entertainment industries to play their games, Bamboo Youxing didn't guarantee that it would really go smoothly.

So, he has to find ways to make the game as appealing as possible.

The first thing to do is to streamline as well as reduce the difficulty and improve the sense of fun.

In the early years, games under the red and white machines were generally quite difficult.

If analogous to the large games of the later twenty-first century later, the games of the Red and White era are estimated to be the difficult difficulty of the later games, and that's minus the nightmare level of difficulty like Devil's Village, which is simply not for people to play.

"Is it bad? But I see those kids having fun playing the game, and, actually, I've been playing it recently."

It had finally occurred to Ari Hayasawa to try Super Mario even when she had nothing better to do in the past two days.

It was at least something she had helped to make, so she had to at least experience it.

Then, she quickly fell into it.
