Game Market 1983

“Then we will create the first magazine that specializes in gaming. ”

“So you're saying we should start with the publishing business, not the purpling you just mentioned? ”

“No, you should do both. But first, we have to change the way we perceive the game. Honestly, when you sell PCs, you play games for free, right? ”

“Well, that's... embarrassing, but yes. because if you don't do that, it's not going to sell at all. ”

“If you continue to be favorable, you have a right. On the contrary, buying a gaming machine doesn't give you a free cartridge. Ultimately, awareness is important. ”

“That's true, but it's not as easy as it sounds. ”

“That's why we need to instill more awareness into consumers about purchasing the right games. And in order to do that, I'm going to have to temporarily shut down his mantra computer. ”

“Huh, that's a... that's a change of business in one day.”

“How long are you going to keep playing free games to suit your consumers? Why don't you start a business with me for Korean gamers' dreams? ”

Now that you mention it, isn't that exactly what Apple's Stephen Jobs said to Pepsi? However, the look on Mantra's face was impressed by what I said.

“Khh... The dreams of gamers... Fine. There's nothing you can't do if you have a good developer like Joon-Hyuk. By the way, gaming magazines don't have a clue where to start. ”

“There's nothing special about game magazines. Do you know a game magazine called Pammy Communications in Japan? ”

“Oh, that's it. Of course I know. ”

“Similar to that as much as possible, information about new releases and reviews and approximations of released games. And you can focus on the gaming industry. Mantra Computer will now be reborn as the first gaming magazine company in Korea with the publication of family games. ”

“But if we're going to do this much business, we need some initial funding, don't we need publishing people, or people who speak Japanese for game reviews? You'll also need a printing facility."

“Return to Japan next week and we will send you KRW 10 million in initial business funds. First of all, use that money to get your new office and the facilities you need to publish. ”

“Ten million won? It's that easy? What do you believe in so much money? What if I disappear with the money? ”

“If you just throw away your chance to make more money because of 10 million won, the boss is just a cloth. Mann. He's just a prodigal man. It will take time, but I can work with others as much as I want. ”

As I looked at him slowly and quietly, the boss swallowed the drought and nodded his head up and down.

I know it sounds a little overwhelming, but I actually believe in the personality of the man I used to know as a child. You left the company when it was hard, but you were left alone.

I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen again.

“But if you start publishing, you'll need something that will attract the attention of your readers in the beginning. We have a private event in PC magazine to increase the number of publications during the outbreak. ”

“You already have enough rare items. ”

“Yes? To me? None of our merchandise is worth that much.”

“No, I just told you. ”

I smiled as I pointed at the dragon emblem on the table.

“Is that...? ”

“We will draw tickets for the first six months of treatment. Quantities 30 per month. ”

“Ah, dragon emblems are sure to attract the attention of gamers. And it's in English.”

“After six months, you'll see the edition of Final Frontier 1. ”

The president of Mantra Computer held my hands tightly in my voice.

“Joon-Hyuk... I'll take good care of you. ”

4: 00 P.m.

After not knowing the time to talk to the boss about the new business plan, I temporarily left Yuki on Mantra computer and went to Young Joon-Hyuk to meet the Young Yeongnam Super.

Glug. Opening the glass door and stepping inside, you find a bag of all kinds of snacks inside the cramped super. Among them, there were those who would live to see 2015.

Shrimpking or potato king... The food of the Indians who sometimes poured milk. Those were banana punches. Of course, some of them disappeared from memory and I met them a long time ago.

‘But, whatever it is, it's the best...’

I smiled gladly at the children's gift box lined up on one side of the store.

“Hey!”

When I called the owner from the counter with no one, she came out of the room with the shop.

“Welcome. ”

“Give the children's gift set no. 6. ”

I answered pointing to the biggest gift set. Compared to a typical gift set of two to three thousand won, everyone was more structured than a gift set.

‘It's a convenient gift to choose from. ’

Youngnam's wife smiled with a single expression and took out a gift set.

“Do you need anything else? ”

“Oh, and do you have a spam set? ”

“Of course I do.”

“Give me the biggest one, too. ”

I remember that the spam set, which I thought would be eaten once a year, was very expensive at the time, so I did not buy it well.

That should be enough for Father's Lunch Box. While I was pulling out my wallet on top, a little girl came running out of the room, picking up a bag of chitos.

“Youngnam, you. I told you not to touch things in the store!! ”

“Win the Cheetos I ate earlier!! One more bag!”

Does that make sense to you, the supergirl?

This was my childhood adversary, Jo Nam, who coldly handed Cheetos' bonus card to his mother. It's a girl, but it's dangerous to rush like that.

If I mocked the singer Jo Nam for the same name, I would have followed him to the end of the earth and punched him.

"Still..."

I smiled at young lady Young-nam whom I had met for a long time.

After a while, I carefully unpacked the gift set for Joon-Hyuk while sitting in front of the store.

Then I put the prepared portable gambler in between the sweets. After carefully repackaging, I put a letter in the spam gift set along with an envelope of money for my parents.

At that time, Joon-Hyuk popped out his face because the small front door was crunchy and open on the other side.

“Huh? You're really here? ”

“You promised. But did you keep your promise to him yesterday? ”

“Absolutely. 30,000 won for grilled beef and 20,000 won for domestic use. But I was scolded by my mom for asking where I got it. ”

Haha... My son showed up with 50,000 won worth of beef. My doubtful mother deserves it. I gestured at Joon-Hyuk with a frowning face.

“Well done. Gift as promised. ”

“The children's whole set!! That's also my favorite number 6!! ”

“And this spam is for my mother...”

“Thank you. But who are you? I asked my mom yesterday, and she said she never sent anyone like that.”

“Well, he's just a distant relative. ”

“Oh, well, can I just tell Mom that this was given to me by my cousin? ”

“Yes. I'll see you then. Listen to your parents and study hard. ”

“Huh? You're leaving already? She's at my mom's.”

“It's all right. Be well, then. ”

After patting Joon-Hyuk a few times who was looking up at me without knowing the English language, I took a step to the Mantra computer that Yuki would be waiting for.

I skipped lunch again today just talking business with Mr. Mantra.

I was in a hurry to open the mantra computer door because I couldn't even serve Yuki to Korea properly.

“Sorry, Yuki. You must be hungry. ”

“Oh, Joon-Hyuk is here? ”

Yuki, who was sitting with Ms. Mantra, turned his head to my voice.

However, there was a large chunk of black ginseng sauce lying around her bright mouth.

“The boss gave it to me, but it's delicious! What was her name again? Have you ever eaten Joon-Hyuk? ”

“Oops, you're here early. I asked her to join me because she seemed hungry. Should I order another? ”

Chinese food yesterday and Chinese food today...

I'm glad it was delicious, but I glanced at her with a bloody smile.
