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

Chapter 142: Going the Other Way (Please Submit)

What Lu Yu is most worried about now is losing control.

This loss of control has two aspects.

One is the loss of control over people. Once employees become overly motivated and enter a frenzied working state, they are likely to become the king of rolls.

One is the out-of-control team size. As the team expands, there are always places that his limited energy cannot monitor. In those hidden corners, the involutionaries secretly huddle together for warmth, multiply infinitely, and eventually drag the entire team into the hell of involution.

It’s scary to think about it, he definitely doesn’t want it!
In this cycle, he has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars by relying on leisure points. As long as he maintains the current team size and continues the cycle indefinitely, he can enjoy life while earning hundreds of thousands of pocket money and live a relatively successful life.

After the team expands, facing higher-level competitors, internal competition is almost the only outcome.

Because, after a few days of investigation, Lu Yu has already gained a rough understanding of the gaming industry in this world.

Strictly speaking, Taoyuan Township has achieved its current success by taking shortcuts and finding new ways.

The several game types that Taoyuanxiang has currently entered are all unpopular tracks, which are areas that large companies are unwilling to get involved in.

Traditional fields, such as MMO, sports competition, FPS, MOBA, SLG... have already been divided up by many domestic giants.

For example, among the four major studios under Tenghui, Liangguang Studio has taken the first and second largest pieces of the domestic traditional FPS market, with monthly revenues in the billions.

DiMei Studio has monopolized the top spot in MOBA and sports competitive games, with monthly revenue in the billions.

The Dog Paradise project team can only be regarded as a marginal group within Dimei. It is not even the tip of the iceberg of Dimei's true strength.

Tenghui has both money and people!
Let’s talk about Youyi. The two IPs, Fantasy and Dahua, alone bring Youyi tens of billions of revenue every year.

After acquiring "World of Dragons", "Shining Destroyer" and "The Legend of Nabeishi", the annual turnover of the agency business is also tens of billions.

In addition to the giants, there are also some medium-sized manufacturers that focus on a specific field, and their strength should not be underestimated.

For example, Shengju Network specializes in national war PK games, Beautiful World specializes in Xianxia MMO, Nanshanju specializes in Wuxia MMO, Qisan Interactive Entertainment specializes in web games, Sisili specializes in idle games, and MiLeyou specializes in the anime world...

The annual revenue of these medium-sized factories is over 100 million yuan.

In Lu Yu's previous life, these friendly competitors were not good men and women, but were all as fierce as wolves and tigers.

In this world where the overall environment is becoming more inward-looking, who knows how fierce the competition will be.

If he continues to roll up his sleeves, even if he can become a hands-off boss, his employees will repeat the same fate as in his previous life.

Putting aside the loss of points, Lu Yu would never do such a capitalist behavior of tearing down other people's bridges after crossing the river.

He doesn't want to become the kind of person he hates the most.

Thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind.

……

on Monday.

The project team group of Zizaiba's life is quite lively.

Zhang Fan: "Damn, Su Yufan is actually endorsing 'Boss Simulator'. I never thought that Youyi would do something so big just before the launch..."

Hao Shuwen: "His popularity on Weibo is simply terrifying. Is this the power of top-tier young idols?"

Shao Peng: "The key is that there's something wrong with that interview. Su Yufan is so influential, and a single 'vulgar' accusation could ruin months of our hard work!"

Zhao Yuhang: "Actually, there's something even weirder! Why don't I see any reports about our game in many media outlets?"

Liu Mengyuan then interrupted, "I asked Sister Li to send letters to some well-connected media outlets, and they said it was a notice from Youyi."

Lin Ying: "Why did You Yi ask for the report to be removed?"

Sun Rou: "Humph, a big store bullies customers. They're just worried that we'll steal the show!"

Liu Mengyuan: "Don't panic, everyone. President Lu has already announced that there will be a company-wide morning meeting later. Let's see what President Lu says then."

As soon as she mentioned President Lu, the anxious atmosphere in the group instantly eased.

Yao Jun: "Yeah, everyone calm down. We've come this far, and Mr. Lu has been very thorough in his planning. He's sure to have a solution."

……

Afterwards, Lu Yu called everyone to the top floor conference room for a meeting. Just as everyone looked at Lu Yu expectantly, Lu Yu suddenly smiled and said:
"I see everyone's been working pretty hard lately. It just so happens that our game is launching this Friday. To reward everyone for their hard work, I'm announcing that starting today, all employees will be having a team-building and holiday celebration!"

"??????"

After Lu Yu finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent and everyone was stunned.

They almost thought they heard wrongly.

Liu Mengyuan also looked at Lu Yu blankly.

No, she remembered that before the meeting, she had told Lu Yu about You Yi's various moves. She even exaggerated the situation to increase the urgency of the matter.

Why did this guy do the opposite and just let everyone start?
She even suspected that Lu Yu had become like a fish, with a memory of only seven seconds.

Mo Xiaoxuan, the producer of Mouth Cannon Life, stood up and said, "Mr. Lu... You Yi and the others..."

Lu Yu interrupted directly with a wave of his hand and asked, "Let me ask you, how is the development progress of Mouth Cannon Life?"

Mo Xiaoxuan replied, "The main framework of the game has been completed, and the various obvious bugs have been mostly fixed, but..."

"Alright, alright, there's nothing to worry about. In that case, just wait patiently for the game to be released for public beta.

After the meeting, everyone went home to pack up their belongings and in the afternoon chartered a car to head to the Gusu Ancient City Resort in Zheshan Province to start a two-day, one-night team-building trip!

After saying this, Lu Yu left the meeting room without giving anyone a chance to refute, leaving the employees looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the corridor, Lu Yu thought to himself, Oh my god, I almost got backstabbed by You Yi.

Originally, he was worried that Youyi's provocation would stimulate the inward-looking nature of these employees, but he didn't expect that what he feared would come true.

But, sister relationship!
This time he is determined to completely cure his employees' involution syndrome!

In fact, he had his own reasons for choosing the ancient city of Suzhou for this team-building vacation.

He had previously taken his employees to various city blocks for team-building activities, but the results were not very good.

After self-reflection, Lu Yu found that he had only allowed his employees to enjoy some material freedom and time freedom, but their spirits did not gain freedom, but were still trapped in the shackles of the urban steel jungle.

So this time, he wanted to let his team members understand the ancient people's detached pastoral life and make them realize that there is no end to internal circulation.

……

At this time, many fans of Taoyuan Township, as well as some neutral onlookers, gathered in front of Taoyuan Township’s official Weibo and D Station’s official account, waiting for Taoyuan Township to fight back.

Taoyuan Township has previously responded strongly to the slander against Liunian through documentaries.

This time, it is Youyi, which is much larger than Liunian, who is jumping in the face, so Taoyuan Township’s response will definitely be more intense.

"Come on, Taoyuan Township, defeat Youyi!" Taoyuan Township's fans are eagerly looking forward to it.

“Let’s fight, let’s fight, hahaha!” People who just want to watch the fun and enjoy the trouble also added fuel to the fire in the comment section.

However, netizens waited and waited until the afternoon, but there was no response from Taoyuan Township.

All official accounts are silent.
In the past, these official accounts would even occasionally post some game character pictures or interact with players in the comment section, but now, they are all silent.

All the players had question marks on their faces.

What's going on? This, this doesn't seem like the temperament and style of Taoyuan Township.

Someone comforted:

"Let's not rush. Think about it, Taoyuan Township must be planning to do something big. Let's wait and see at night."

"Yeah, maybe the people from Taoyuan Township are holding a busy meeting in the conference room right now, figuring out how to do something!"

"Thanks for their hard work. I guess they'll be bleeding from working overtime these past two days. Sigh..."

……

At the same time, the tourist bus chartered by Taoyuan Township has arrived at the ancient city of Gusu.
