Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo-Chapter 773: The Charming Gamestar Tower

Bob arrived at Tokyo International Airport that same afternoon. A car from Gamestar Electronic Entertainment had already been waiting for quite some time.

His arrival was enough to draw widespread attention—Bob's current status was on par with the leaders of small nations.

So the moment his private jet landed in Japan, it immediately caught the attention of many media outlets.

However, a figure like Bob couldn't be tracked like some entertainment celebrity. He had originally intended to keep his trip under wraps.

Most media only found out after Bob had already landed.

By the time reporters rushed to the airport, he had already vanished. All they managed to learn was that Bob had left in a company car belonging to Gamestar Electronic Entertainment.

The relationship between Facebook and Gamestar Electronic Entertainment was now widely known. With Gamestar as the local host, it made perfect sense for them to personally handle his reception.

The car drove straight to Gamestar's headquarters.

...

When Bob arrived at the entrance of Gamestar Electronic Entertainment's skyscraper, he was stunned.

The grandeur of this building far exceeded his own Facebook headquarters.

Even though Facebook now had a massive scale and a stock value exceeding $100 billion, its disposable operational funds were not that flexible.

Constructing a building costing hundreds of millions of dollars would require complex negotiations and approvals—not like at Gamestar, where Takayuki had full authority and could freely allocate all company funds.

Bob made up his mind—he would build something like this for himself, no matter what the shareholders said.

Upon entering the first floor of the building, he was immediately greeted by classic Super Mario music.

At the lobby, music from various first-party games played on a near 24-hour loop.

This was a gaming company—a place meant to bring joy to people. So it made sense that it didn't resemble a typical corporate space.

First and foremost, the employees themselves had to be happy.

If the employees couldn't be happy, how could they create joyful products?

Besides the music, the receptionists at the front desk weren't wearing standard business attire. Instead, they wore trendy outfits inspired by Gamestar's games.

One of the girls, for example, was wearing a casual Princess Peach-style outfit from Mario.

Another was dressed in a casual take on Zelda's outfit from The Legend of Zelda.

In a recent Japanese workplace survey for women, one column ranked the top 10 dream jobs.

First place went to TV actresses—prestigious, high-paying, and fame-bringing.

Second place, surprisingly, was being a receptionist at Gamestar Electronic Entertainment.

Why? Because being a receptionist there came with perks not even most office workers could dream of—like the freedom to wear any clothes they liked.

Every month, Gamestar's in-house designers created a custom outfit inspired by the company's games for each receptionist.

They were also allowed to make requests, as long as it was legal and reasonable.

These tailored designs were so expensive that most women couldn't afford even one with a year's salary.

But as a Gamestar receptionist, you got one every month.

What better job could there be?

You got to show off your beauty, work regular 9-to-5 hours, and even bring your kids if needed—the company had a kids' playroom (by appointment, due to limited space).

And if you worked there long enough—say, five years—you could apply for custom game-themed clothing for your kids every year.

All of this highlighted Gamestar's one-of-a-kind employee benefits.

But in reality, it was also part of their marketing.

Stylish young women dressed in game-themed outfits were essentially walking advertisements, drawing attention wherever they went.

When curious onlookers asked about the outfits, they'd learn they were custom pieces from Gamestar.

"Welcome, Mr. Bob. Please follow me to the private elevator. The president is already waiting for you at the top floor."

Just as Bob stepped into the lobby, he was approached by a young and beautiful receptionist.

She was dressed in Aerith's casual outfit from Final Fantasy, a charming and lively style that instantly caught his eye.

Hmm, he thought, when I get back, I need to do something like this at Facebook. I want my receptionists dressed like this—and with perks like these.

That should definitely improve my... selection.

Bob smiled politely while thinking shameless thoughts and said, "Thank you, beautiful lady. Please lead the way."

All around the lobby were various game-related decorations.

In one corner was a mini gaming area.

Inside, a middle school-aged kid was playing NieR: Automata. Probably a staff relative or a die-hard fan?

Bob looked around as he followed the receptionist to a private elevator.

This elevator led directly to the top floor. It was Takayuki's personal elevator, off-limits to others without permission.

The elevator shot up quickly. Once they arrived, the receptionist politely bid farewell and returned downstairs.

Bob stepped into the top floor—Takayuki's private domain. Over 1,000 square meters of space. Lavish didn't even begin to describe it.

Trophies lined the walls, game-themed elements were everywhere—this was a gaming paradise.

There were life-size game models.

The most ridiculous of all? A full-scale BT-7274 Titan from Titanfall.

As someone who had followed Takayuki for a while, Bob was familiar with most of Gamestar's games. He recognized most of the characters and was full of awe.
