You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 116: Boomerang Precisely Inserted Back (Please Submit)
The post reads as follows:

"Hey guys, this project team is really going to collapse.

Everyone was stunned when the news that Taoyuan Township Raid was suddenly released to be animated was released!
Today, I was in the Dimei office and witnessed an unprecedented chaos.
The phones in the office rang one after another, and everyone was running around like a cat with its tail stepped on.

Many original business cooperations were cancelled on the eve of signing.
Because of the other party's reply, we found a better potential partner.

The higher-ups are discussing whether or not to continue supporting Taoyuan Township and increase the stakes.

If the investment continues to increase, all the previously planned comic promotion and marketing plans will have to be overturned and started over again.

It is also said that after watching the trailer, Master Katsura Masakazu found that the story of Cat Girl Paradise was too similar to the comic script he had received.
So, the Master did some research and realized that Dog Girl Paradise was a Sharingan replica. He was very upset, and we had to send someone to Tokyo to appease the Master and the team."

The second post replied: "Haven't you considered in advance that this situation might occur?"

The host replied:

"We can't help it. Taoyuan Township did a great job of keeping this secret, and this really caught us off guard.

These ruthless people know how to suppress before praising. On the first day, they let Dimei hold a press conference and praise the products to the skies, and then on the second day, they slapped us in the face.

Because of this incident, the product manager in charge of the comics business has been fired, and the general manager of Dimei was interviewed again and was given a 1-star performance rating for that month.

I guess we’ll have to hold a meeting tonight to discuss countermeasures, eh…”

Various replies below:

"Don't try too hard, OP. There's really no point in going head-to-head with Taoyuanxiang. Animation is inherently better than comics, and Taoyuanxiang's style is no worse than Katsura Masakazu's. You've lost completely."

"Brother, stop worrying about it and start looking for a new job. You junior employees are probably going to be the ones being laid off."

Of course, in addition to those who comfort us, there are also many people who have fun.

"Haha, I used to see Dimei Studios take down those smaller companies they copied on this forum. This is the first time I've seen the original creators completely take down the originals. I'm so happy."

"So, why don't you guys change your strategy and improve your originality instead of just using the Sharingan every day?

At the current rate of technological advancement in Taoyuan Township, within a few years, I'm afraid all of your private territories in PUBG and MOBA will be completely abandoned."

"Please stop talking to the two of you above. The poster is just an intern with no say. What's the point of you talking to him?"

……

It was approaching evening.

The popularity of the "Boss Simulator" booth in Hall 1, which was originally quite good, suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, and the number of visitors dropped sharply.

Whether they were waiting in line or just finishing their game, many of them were holding their phones, chattering about the explosive news from Hall 5:
"Hey, have you heard? Taoyuan Township's Cat Girl Paradise has an animation coming out, and the cat girls are super cute."

"What what what? Let me check out the trailer... Holy crap, that's awesome. Come on, let's go check in at Hall 5."

"What about Boss Simulator? Is there still a queue?"

"Alright, alright, I've finished waiting. I've played the game over and over again, but there's only a few things to do, and the official content hasn't been released yet. Aren't you tired of it?"

"That's right, and the officials are so arrogant and conceited that they won't listen to any advice. Let's go!"

The players chatted as they left the booth in groups and headed towards Hall 5.

Seeing that the booth began to look deserted, Zou Zhongtian became anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

"What are these players talking about? What animation?"

Zou Zhongtian took out his cell phone to check the news and his face turned pale instantly.

"How the hell is this possible!"

He roared subconsciously, scaring the staff around him.

The Taoyuan Township exhibition was supposed to be a rehash of something old, so how the hell did a long-running animated series appear out of nowhere?!

His brows were furrowed and he kept fiddling with his phone. After a while, the madness in his eyes gradually eased.

It’s okay, the popularity of “Boss Simulator” is still there!

Moreover, to put it bluntly, games and animations are not on the same track, and the carriers are different.

What's more, "Boss Simulator" is a very rare urban-themed game.

He really didn't believe that Taoyuan Township could come up with any more tricks to shake up his gaming base.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
……

at the same time.

A business CBD office building in Jiangdong District, Jianghai City.

The headquarters office of Brilliant Investment Company.

Mr. Cao sat in his gorgeously decorated office, tapping his fingers on the carved desk, his expression growing increasingly heavy.

He sighed softly and stared at the computer screen with a dazed look. The scrolling news headlines on it kept stinging his eyes:
Taoyuan Township releases Cat Girl Paradise animation, which is a huge hit online! A large number of fans flocked to the Taoyuan Township booth at EASTJOY, starting a check-in frenzy and the scene was packed with people!

Industry insiders highly praise the "Cat Girl Paradise" animation, which is likely to usher in a new era for the animation industry!

Taoyuan Huimeng has finally opened the door to high-quality domestic animation.

"Exposing Director Gong Qijun: He Was Once a Frustrated Loser."

……

At this moment, Mr. Cao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he recalled his disdainful comments about Gong Qijun not long ago.

What happened to the promise that all the animations made by Gong Qijun were flops?

It was agreed that the two-dimensional world was monopolized by the island country. Is it courting death to launch a project with this style of painting?
Not to mention, other bigwigs in the group also said that Gong Qijun's team was hailed as waste in the industry by their peers!
Is this reasonable?

Is it necessary to slap someone in the face so quickly? Is he targeting me?!
Moreover, these so-called colleagues and industry media, when Gong Qijun was down and out, they smeared him to death and gave him all kinds of bad awards.
Now after watching the trailer, his expression instantly changed and he started praising it to the sky.

It really depends on who wins.
If I really enter the Pass, there will be great scholars who will debate with me.

More importantly, the more extravagant the analysis from industry insiders was, the more deeply regretful and lost he felt.

He poured himself a full glass of brandy and drank it in one gulp.

The bitter wine entered his throat and made his heart ache. He wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet wildly!

He really couldn't understand.

Damn, how come the animation team didn't show any improvement in several years under his leadership, but took off as soon as he sold it?

Considering his many failed investments in the animation industry in recent years, he never expected that he would let the biggest fish with the greatest potential go away with his own hands!

Who would have thought that Dark Horse Animation is such a dark horse!

His previous negative investment judgments on Dark Horse Animation came back to haunt him like a boomerang.

Mr. Cao felt like he had been pierced like a sieve.

It hurts, it hurts too much!
He even began to doubt his investment vision.

At this time, the group of investment tycoons was also quiet.

It’s impossible for people in the group not to know about such big industry news.

But before, this group of people also joked that Dark Horse Animation was a hot potato. It seems that after being slapped in the face, the bosses don’t want to show up anymore. It’s too embarrassing.

Mr. Cao's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his nails digging into his palms.

Mr. Lu from Taoyuan Township? Perhaps he's a formidable investment guru...

He was lost in thought.

……

The third day of EASTJOY game show.

A large number of media, UP hosts and players gathered in front of the booth.

Outside the exhibition hall, huge crowds of people were still pouring in, forming long queues.

Various gaming media outlets were snapping photos in anticipation, while UP hosts were holding up their phones and excitedly chatting in the live broadcast room.

The laughter and discussions in the crowd flooded the entire booth area.

However, people at other booths did not complain, but were secretly happy because Hall 5 was not very popular originally, and Taoyuan Township attracted a large number of visitors.

Those players waiting in line will try out the games at other booths when they are bored waiting there. Even if the retention rate is not high, every little bit counts.

At this time, even though the new plan has not yet been announced, the live broadcast rooms of major anchors including Wang Fanqie have already gathered more than one million people.

Seeing that the crowd was almost gathered, Li Hongmei announced through the loudspeaker at the booth:
"Dear players, there are no new trailers released today..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were sighs of regret among the crowd.

"However, everyone can go directly to our newly set up trial area to experience our new project!"

After he said this, the whole audience burst into cheers!
"Great!"

"What the hell? No empty promises, no promotional videos, and you can just play it right away?"

"Taoyuan Township is still the same Taoyuan Township, honest and kind!"

Enthusiastic players began to flock to the trial area.
