Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

"Life in the Fuyukawa family is really comfortable."

In the company corridor, Futaba Koyama walked towards the elevator while licking the ice cream cone comfortably.

She has been living a comfortable life recently, although she is extremely poor and can't even pay the water, electricity, rent and property taxes at home. She has to live in Dongchuan's house and work part-time as a domestic maid.

Being a domestic maid sounds like a job that involves either being bullied, scolded or having to endure hardships.

At first, she also thought that her hard days were coming. After all, let alone cooking, she used to wash clothes just like Dongchuan Che, throwing all the stockings, underwear and miniskirts into the washing machine. Unless it was summer and the house was prone to odor, she would only take out the garbage once a week.

A super typical useless tech nerd loli who is almost useless except for being able to make and play games.

Because she was worried that she would not be able to do the housework well in the future, she would practice her [pitiful and aggrieved little expression] in front of the bathroom mirror in the mornings at the beginning, hoping to win Dongchuan Che's sympathy and avoid being scolded.

But what she didn't expect was that although she begged and pleaded her way into the Fuyukawa family, the miserable life of a domestic maid that she had imagined did not come true.

There is no other reason.

Although Sayoko doesn't like being a manager, she is actually a person who cannot sit still. She likes the warm atmosphere where Toru Fuyukawa is busy working while she quietly does housework beside him. She also likes the feeling of Toru Fuyukawa praising her for her delicious cooking.

Therefore, although the family has a housekeeper, Koyama Futaba, Sayoko still takes care of most of the housework. Moreover, when Miyano Mion and Ohara Chika are not too busy at work, they will also take the initiative to do the housework. Sometimes, when he sees that his women are under great pressure at work, Fuyukawa Che will also cook.

There are many women in the family, which makes Dong Chuanche very tired, but the housework is indeed not stressful.

Although she, Koyama Futaba, became the housekeeper of the Fuyukawa family, she actually had no other work except changing into a maid outfit, helping to wash dishes, or taking care of flowers and plants in the yard after returning home every day. She could even taste Sayoko's superb cooking skills every day.

Sayoko's cooking skills, coupled with a variety of high-end ingredients, are much more comfortable than ordering takeout before!

"This is simply a life that only exists in fantasy! Dongchuan must live a hundred years!"

As Xiaoshan Futaba thought about it, a silly smile appeared on her face.

Her dream life is to sleep until she wakes up naturally, play games until her hands cramp, hire someone to do the housework, and order takeout for three meals a day.

This was her dream before she turned 20. Now, she has two more dreams to add, which are [to eat Sayoko's food every day] and [to hope that the fierce Dongchuan Che can live forever].

"But speaking of which, that guy Dongchuan called me over now, is he asking me to help make Don't Starve? This kind of small-scale game will probably only be sold for around 7 dollars, and there are so many people in the entire production team, so I guess we won't get much in dividends. Well, I must find a chance to ask for it later. I don't want any dividends, just a big fixed bonus!"

Xiaoshan Shuangye was muttering to himself.

She believed in Dongchuan Che's game creation ability, and she had also read the plan, so her sales estimate for Don't Starve was not low. But Don't Starve was a low-budget game after all, and for this type of game, sales of over 5 million would be considered a hit, and even if she estimated it more and raised the sales estimate to 10 million, she wouldn't get much in the way of dividends.

On the one hand, Don't Starve is priced at $7.

The selling price is $7, so million sets would be $ million.

This may seem like a lot, considering that the production cost of Don't Starve was not high. But the problem is that Japan's tax rate is the fifth highest in Asia. Not only does it have to pay the 30% corporate tax levied at the national level, but it also has to pay the 10% resident tax levied by local governments and the 5% business tax.

Adding up all the factors, without taking into account tax exemptions and reductions, the tax rate exceeds 50%, ranking fifth in Asia and one of the 27 countries in the world with a comprehensive tax rate of more than 50%.

Japan's corporate tax is calculated based on net profit, which means that if Don't Starve makes $70 million in profit, without considering various tax exemptions, it will have to pay $35 million in taxes.

On her way to and from get off work, Xiaoshan Futaba always sees people wearing headscarves standing on vans and shouting "tax cuts, tax cuts" with horns.

Among these people, there are people who are recruited by companies, government members who need to canvass for votes, and of course, more are ordinary working people.

Because corporate tax seems to be a way of collecting money from companies, but these costs will be passed on, ultimately at the expense of increasing consumers' cost of living, or reducing workers' wages, or even both.

This is actually one of the reasons why Dongchuan Che insisted on developing a gaming platform and handheld platform.

Just kidding, even though the local government is afraid that he will run away, so they not only have a very low attitude, but also give various preferential policies, but the total tax rate is still more than 35%. If you add the channel fee of about 30% for each platform,

[Why is it only 70%? 70% belongs to others! If you can get 30%, it depends on Huang Silang's mood.]

I can only say that the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" is truly immortal.

To put it bluntly, if Dongchuan Che doesn't build his own channels, he will have to hand over 70% of the profits from any game he makes.

You support your own employees, take your own risks, come up with your own ideas, bear your own pressure, and in the end you only get 30%.

What the hell is that?

Of course, Futaba Koyama, a useless otaku loli with no ambition, didn't care much about what Toru Toru was thinking. She only knew that after deducting taxes, plus the fact that the production team of "Don't Starve" was close to a thousand people,

Such a huge production team can shorten the production cycle of "Don't Starve" and improve the difficult living conditions of these fresh graduates who just joined the company this year, while providing a lot of work experience and allowing them to get into work faster. But there is no doubt that this also means that more people will receive dividends.

She, Futaba Koyama, doesn't think she can get much profit from "Don't Starve".

"We lost the gang war yesterday because the opponent, Datang, had the most damaging knife in the region. It seems that we must please Dongchuan today! I must get a large fixed bonus!"

Xiaoshan Futaba calculated secretly. She was poor now, but not poor either. She had indeed lived in poverty during this period, but the equipment she had in the Dream Westward Journey game in China could be sold for tens of millions of RMB.

However, for her, making money is just for playing games. It is okay to let her be a housekeeper or work overtime, but it is okay to ask her not to play games in order to save money.

People live to play games!

If you don't play games, what's the point of making money?

Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?!

In order to buy new equipment, Xiaoshan Futaba decided to risk it all! So, as soon as she entered the door of Dongchuan Che's president's office and saw Dongchuan Che working hard behind the boss's desk, she forced a flattering smile on her face.

"Boss, I'm here."

"."

Dongchuan Che, who was looking down at the documents, raised his eyebrows when he heard Xiaoshan Futaba speaking to him in honorifics. He took a sip of coffee, and looked at Xiaoshan Futaba with a smile behind his gentle frameless glasses. "It seems that you are short of money again?"

Although they were not in a relationship, they had known each other for more than two years and had worked together for more than two years. Not to mention that he knew the priorities as soon as Futaba Koyama raised her butt, but he was very clear about the greedy and kryptonian nature of this useless little loli.

"Hehe, the president still understands me."

Koyama Futaba pretended to look pitiful, then naturally pulled over a small stool and sat down.

It must be said that among all the women that Dongchuan Che knows, Futaba Koyama is the cutest and most petite one.

Not only does she have a cute baby face with a bun, but although she has big E-sized headlights, she has no money to eat well and has to eat instant noodles every day. In addition, Miyano Mitsuko often takes her to exercise together during this period, so she now has big E-sized headlights and does not look fat.

In the upper part of the forest green summer shoulder-length dress, you can clearly see the delicate collarbone and the plump buttocks that hold up the dress. And although she looks petite because of her short height, only a little over 1.5 meters, her white and straight legs are not short at all if you look at the proportions.

A petite little loli with big breasts who makes people want to lift their legs high when seeing her, and now she is looking up at herself with a pitiful look.

It is very lethal.

Dongchuan Che also subconsciously glanced at the fair northern hemisphere and delicate right-angled shoulders outside the shoulder-length skirt, but. At this time, they were talking about serious business, so Dongchuan Che didn't think too much about it.

He took out a document from the drawer and threw it over, saying with a smile, "Alright, alright, stop using honorifics, it's awkward to hear. From your appearance, you're anxious if we don't talk about money now. Then I'll be frank with you, come and be my assistant on Don't Starve, and when the time comes to share the profits, I'll give you 1.8%."

The game "Don't Starve" sold 30 million copies in ten years in its previous life. Dongchuan Che would not say that he could double the sales of this game, but he was confident that after his own improvements, the sales of "Don't Starve" could reach 35 million copies, or even 40 million copies.

And even if we calculate based on sales of 2.1 million sets, the total turnover can reach million.

After deducting corporate taxes and costs, Koyama Futaba finally received more than 4000 million US dollars, or 45 million yen in dividends. Even if the individual income tax of [% for annual income over million yen] is deducted, Koyama Futaba still received a million US dollars.

This amount of money is actually a lot, but Koyama Futaba doesn't think so.

"This game is low-budget and small-scale. Even if Ache makes it, the sales volume is not expected to be very high. A conservative estimate is one million copies, and the upper limit is probably around ten million. In other words, in the best case, I can get a bonus of about four hundred thousand. In the worst case, if the sales volume is only one million copies, then according to the 1.8% ratio, I may not even get a dividend of fifty thousand dollars."

"No way! This amount of money can't even buy a baby! Then the gang will definitely doubt my identity as a rich Japanese woman!!!"

"Life and death are minor matters, reputation is major!"

Xiaoshan Futaba kept calculating with her fingers. Finally, she mustered up her courage, stood up and bowed deeply, "Mr. President! I don't want a proportional dividend, but I want a fixed bonus of 150,000 or 200,000 US dollars!"

"?"

Dongchuan Che, who was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and drinking coffee, was stunned when he heard what Xiaoshan Futaba said. But when he saw the "guilty" in Xiaoshan Futaba's eyes, he quickly reacted.

"This guy"

“I think the sales of Don’t Starve won’t be that high.”

Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che smiled slightly. To be honest, there are indeed many low-budget masterpieces. For example, "Ori"; "Hollow Knight"; "Balance of God" and so on, but in fact.

Even these well-known and well-received stand-alone games have not sold very well. For example, Hollow Knight has a very good reputation, but its sales volume is less than 3 million copies. Ghost Valley, which is very famous in China, has not sold more than 5 million copies.

This is also why Dongchuan Che already had a very high reputation in the industry before he made "Old Man Ring", because low-cost works are difficult to achieve sales of tens of millions.
