The number one spot at the entrance of the venue, which is also the busiest spot at the exhibition, was, as usual, allocated to a Japanese game company.

As one of the leading companies in the Japanese game industry, Konami Corporation naturally secured a prime position.

The team leader of Konami, while directing his subordinates to set up the booth, stepped out onto the corridor and glanced towards the center of the hall.

Upon seeing that the corridor leading to the center was mostly blocked and that signs were erected to direct tourists to leave in two directions, the team leader immediately reported to his superior on the other end of the conversation.

"Secretary Takeshita, the exhibition hall has indeed set up barriers in the passageways and also erected signs to guide visitors to the corridors on both sides."

With these two measures in place, and considering the location of the Huaxia Company's booth, it's likely that aside from a few die-hard fans, not many tourists will visit that company's booth.

I don't know if it's a cultural characteristic of Japan, but when making a phone call, even if the person in question isn't physically present, one still maintains a bowed posture, as if the other person can discern the other person's posture through their voice.

On the other end of the phone, Secretary Takeshita chuckled with satisfaction upon hearing that the exhibition manager had obediently followed instructions.

"Alright, since that's the case, you can focus all your energy on the exhibition game. The president attaches great importance to the game 'Pro Evolution Soccer' and plans to develop it into an IP."

The Edo Game Show is definitely a great opportunity for exposure, so don't let the company down.

"Secretary Takeshita, rest assured, I will certainly not fail in my mission!"

After another round of bowing and scraping, the Konami company's dispatch team leader finally straightened up, glanced at the Starcard booth in the distance, gave a slightly mocking sneer, and then turned back to his company's booth at the main entrance.

In his view, even though Starcard is a game developer with some international reputation, in Edo, even a dragon has to coil up!

Moreover, their own company also brought "Pro Evolution Soccer," a game that has been polished for a long time, which is sure to become the game with the most exposure and popularity during this Edo Game Show.

"Captain Tanashita, all the equipment is assembled and can accommodate more than twenty players at the same time."

Upon seeing the team leader return to the stall, a team member quickly walked up to the team leader, stood at attention, and respectfully reported.

The booth allocated to Konami by the exhibition organizers was not only located near the entrance, in the area with the highest visitor traffic, but also had a significantly larger area, allowing Konami to assemble more equipment for visitors to try out and giving the games more exposure.

It can be said that the host country has the home advantage.

Team leader Tianxia nodded slightly, pushed aside his team members, and stepped forward to check all the equipment one by one.

He was aware that the failure of "Silent Hill" at the TGA awards had shifted the company and president's attention to "Pro Evolution Soccer".

If they do a good job with "Pro Evolution Soccer" and gain exposure and popularity online through the Edo Game Show, then they will be the company's heroes.

However, if Pro Evolution Soccer fails and doesn't achieve the expected results, they will be branded with shame and probably won't be able to stay at Konami any longer.

Therefore, since his future was at stake, Captain Tian Xia dared not slack off in the slightest.

After personally checking it over, Captain Tianxia finally felt relieved and raised his wrist to check the time.

At 8:45, there were 15 minutes left before the game show was scheduled to begin.

"It's about time. Let's import the game files into these devices."

At Captain Tianxia's command, the team members standing by the computer nodded and immediately got to work.

Not far from them, in berth number two, employees of Jade Company were also importing game files into the devices provided for players to try out.

The Edo Game Show was the first public event that Jade attended after winning the TGA award, and she also planned to use this event as the debut venue for her new game.

Due to the controversial comments that erupted online when the award was won some time ago, there have been differing opinions within Jade Company regarding whether to release a new game at the Edo Game Show.

However, founder Ifre defied public opinion and made a choice that involved both risks and rewards.

Once again, they will compete against Star Card.

To show his importance, Ifre even had his secretary join the team and personally attend the exhibition.

"Time is running out, is everything ready?"

The secretary glanced at the exquisite watch on her wrist. There were less than 5 minutes left before the exhibition started, and the group in front of her hadn't even finished setting up the equipment for visitors to try out. This made the secretary's voice tinged with impatience.

As the secretary to the founder of Jade Company, he had to travel a long way to Edo to lead the team to participate in the Edo Game Show. However, he felt no displeasure at all; on the contrary, he was filled with secret joy.

Being appointed as the team leader indicates that he has gained the chairman's approval and has become a trustworthy person.

This is also the first time he has led a team to complete a project independently. If he performs well, he may be assigned to a branch office as general manager after returning to France, just like the chairman's previous secretary.

Therefore, the secretary was full of passion and had very high demands on her subordinates.

The secretary's requirements for the placement of each piece of equipment within the booth were even precise down to the centimeter level, all to ensure that while accommodating more visitors to try out the equipment, the visitor experience could also be taken into account.

As for the employees under the secretary, they could only suffer in silence, secretly grumbling to themselves or complaining to their colleagues in private, because they had such a powerful leader.

It was clearly the secretary who got up late in the morning, which caused them to lose almost an hour of preparation time. But when the exhibition was about to start, they were blamed for being too slow and were scolded repeatedly.

With the secretary's constant urging, the booth was finally ready one minute before the conference opened.

Everyone, from the secretary to the project members, breathed a sigh of relief.

The secretary was relieved because she knew how important this project was to her promotion, while the project members were simply relieved because they no longer had to be reprimanded.

As the hour hand aligned itself with the number 9 on the left side of the clock, the exhibition hall doors opened precisely on time, and the tourists who had been queuing outside poured into the hall.

The first and second stalls, which are closest to the main entrance of the guild hall, were the first to be affected.

As a renowned company that ranks among the top in the international game industry, Jade Games' booth had its dozen or so demo slots filled up in no time.

"Welcome to our brand new game, Star Wars: Outlaws!"

Seeing the fans who had secured their spots, the secretary smiled and raised her hand in welcome.
