Besides her, Kitahara and the little girl behind Sugisaki were all saying the same thing.
As four brothers who played together in high school, they naturally knew each other's families.
Smiling, Nangong Yu waved to them, then looked at Beiyuan and the other two, saying meaningfully, "Here's what we'll do: put these three under my command..."
"no!"
"no!"
“Absolutely not!!!”
Without prior arrangement, the three brothers shielded their respective sisters behind them, watching the scumbag behind the desk with wary eyes.
"Tsk, we're so close, don't you trust me?"
She put on a sad expression, but Kitahara quickly retorted, "It's because of you that we're worried!"
"Huh? Why do I feel like Brother Nangong is a really nice guy?"
Kitahara's younger sister, Kitahara Shiori, is an elegant young girl dressed in a kimono.
"Sigh~"
Kitahara was startled by his sister's words and quickly turned around to whisper in her ear, "Let me tell you, don't let Ayu's respectable appearance fool you, she's actually..."
She went on and on, making Nangong Yu's face turn dark.
"You bastard, don't spread rumors about me!!"
"I was just telling the truth!"
"Tsk, whatever, I can't be bothered with you. But isn't your sister only in her third year of junior high? She's not old enough to work yet, is she?"
"She insisted on coming to see my workplace, so..."
At that moment, Kitahara Shiori stepped forward and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, have I caused you trouble?"
"No, it's nothing, just don't let it affect everyone's work."
Waving his hand, Nangong Yu continued, "You can discuss the specific positions with HR later. If you plan to do game development, you can put your own subordinates under your supervision. Our company is still short-staffed."
Besides his three younger sisters, Sugisaki Ken was also accompanied by a girl with long, dark blue hair. She was staring at him with great curiosity and was probably the childhood friend Sugisaki Ken had mentioned before. Kitahara was also accompanied by a blond man. It seemed that he was the most nervous person in the entire office.
Not paying much attention to these people, Nangong Yu didn't say much and quickly sent the group to the personnel department to register.
"Is your brother interested in the girl from earlier?"
No sooner had these people left than Seele's voice drifted over, accompanied by Bronya's piercing gaze that stung her skin. Kaguya said nothing, but her usual gentle smile vanished.
"No, no, no, I was just joking, really."
"It better be true."
Bronya withdrew her gaze and said coldly.
Ding Ding Ding ~
Before he could even whisper sweet nothings to Xi'er, the internal landline on his desk rang.
Not long after, a short, white-haired man appeared in front of his desk.
5. "What a rare guest! Principal Theresa, is there something you need?"
Qi was surprised when the receptionist said that a person claiming to be the headmaster of St. Freya Academy had come over.
Without saying anything unnecessary, Theresa crossed her arms and said excitedly, "I want to imitate the Homura Paradise model and build a Pokémon Paradise!"

3 Chapter 207 The Gensokyo Paradise Project
"Pokémon Park?"
4. "Yes, we're going to use the Pokémon IP as the core to create a world-class amusement park!"
(2) Clenching her fist, Theresa’s eyes seemed to burn with fire.
"I know that, but why did the headmaster suddenly bring it up?"
Transforming the virtual into the physical world is a win-win situation, whether viewed from the perspective of the past or the present.
Leaving aside the still-booming Houmu in the world today, let's take Disney in its previous life as an example. The profits from Disneyland alone were more than double their movie revenue.
While generating revenue is one aspect, it also greatly benefits the operation of the IP.
Whether used to incubate new IPs or to promote the continued development of existing IPs, it has a significant positive impact.
Looking at all the new toys in those amusement park shops, if it weren't for Disney's brand, how many people would be interested in them?
He had already conceived of the plan when he first established Gensokyo: to use one of the most well-known IPs as the core of the operation, with other IPs serving as branches to supplement it, and to unite them together to form a lush and towering tree.
Unexpectedly, before he could even take any concrete action, Theresa brought it up first.
"Because don't you feel that this is a pretty good opportunity?"
A few days ago, when Theresa went to her grandfather to beg for money, she emptied his savings. Otto had no choice but to secretly give her a suggestion.
"Oh? Tell me in detail?"
"Cough cough."
Theresa coughed twice and looked at him seriously, saying, "The Pokémon World Championships co-hosted by Anti-Entropy and St. Freya in the second half of this year would be the perfect opportunity."
"You mean the World Championships?"
Noticing Theresa's somewhat smug expression, Nangong Yu stroked his chin thoughtfully and slowly said, "It seems like there's definitely potential."
Before Theresa could continue, Nangong Yu kept talking: "Based on the popularity of the Pokémon World Championships on the internet, this is probably a grand event comparable to the Olympics. If we launch a Pokémon theme park based on this popularity, it will naturally have the greatest publicity effect. As long as the IP is integrated well, there is no need to worry about it not becoming a hit."
"Just as Grandpa said, you'll understand as soon as I mention it..."
He muttered something under his breath, missing his chance to show off, which made Theresa purse her lips.
"What did you say, Headmaster?"
"No, it's nothing."
Not paying much attention, Nangong Yu smiled slightly: "I actually had a plan for this, so as soon as the headmaster brought it up, I immediately thought of it."
"Hmm? So, you agree?"
"I never said I refused, did I?"
Nangong Yu originally planned to bring this up in a few years, but now it seems like a really good opportunity.
Moreover... seeing Theresa's eagerness to try, and knowing that there was someone willing to be his own test subject, he had even less reason to refuse.
Let Theresa try things out first, and then expand the amusement park further. Anyway, with the popularity of Pokémon, Theresa's business is a sure thing, and everyone will be happy.
"but....."
His tone shifted, instantly calming the agitated Theresa down. She frowned and looked at him.
"Isn't just a Pokémon theme park too simplistic?"
Too monotonous?
"Yes."
Shrug and say with a smile, "Besides Pokémon, Gensokyo also has a series of high-quality IPs such as Plants vs. Zombies and Hollow Knight. Don't you think it's a waste to leave them there, Headmaster?"
The not-so-loud voice slowly drifted into Theresa's ears, making her breathing quicken. She hurriedly asked, "You, you mean?"
"Just like you think, why only use the Pokémon IP?"
With both hands braced on the table, Nangong Yu moved closer to Theresa, looking intently into her eyes: "Why don't we unite all the IPs of Gensokyo to build a theme park belonging to Gensokyo? Moreover, as Gensokyo continues to release new games, various new IPs will gradually be added, ensuring the theme park never loses its freshness and appeal. The different IPs can also complement each other, generating even more vitality..."
"This this......"
Given Gensokyo's momentum, if they were to actually combine all their future IPs...
hiss~
She couldn't even imagine how tempting the amusement park would be; she simply couldn't resist it.
"Well, Headmaster, may I entrust this task to you?"
Unbeknownst to many, the balance of power has shifted. Instead of Theresa seeking cooperation, Nangong Yu has brought Theresa into the group, and the dominant position has quietly changed.
Upon hearing this, Theresa forced down her excitement, took a few deep breaths, and looked at Nangong Yu earnestly, as if making a promise, and said, "Of course, no problem. About five kilometers away from St. Freya, there is an undeveloped area covering nearly a thousand hectares. It is located by the sea and has a private dock. You can take a boat directly to a private island that is also several hundred hectares away. My grandfather gave these to me many years ago when he heard that I was going to build St. Freya. Now they can come in handy."
deliver......
Although Theresa was unaware of it, everyone in the office was experiencing a toothache.
Such a large area, and it's located right by the sea, is this the extent of Heaven's arrogance?
I always feel like Theresa is in Versailles.
Kaguya, a local, lamented that in this country, which is not very big to begin with, prime land is incredibly expensive. She remembered how the Luna Group had to go to great lengths to acquire a few hundred hectares of land, only to have it handed to them by Schicksal?
No, it's incomparable.
How's the traffic there?
Suppressing her emotions, Nangong Yu asked a question.
"It connects to the city's main roads, making it very convenient for both buses and subways."
"Well, that's good."
Nodding, Nangong Yu added with a smile, "However, even if the transportation isn't great, we can still discuss it with the councilors here. Once the amusement park is built, it will provide more than 10,000 jobs. I'm sure those 'elites' in the council won't mind setting up a special transportation line to get here."
Theresa, who was very familiar with the nature of these politicians, smiled and nodded: "You're right."
Then, as if remembering something, Theresa said somewhat shyly, "Since I'm providing the land, what about the construction..."
She winked at Nangong Yu, revealing that she was short of money and couldn't possibly come up with that much cash!
If it were just Pokémon, offering land as a bargaining chip would have been enough. But if it's the entire Gensokyo IP, then...
But she couldn't resist this opportunity that was practically in her mouth. She simply couldn't refuse Nangong Yu's suggestion. If this succeeded, she felt that St. Freya would never lack funds again!
"That's no problem. You don't need to tell us, Principal. The construction will naturally be handled by us and Anti-Entropy. Anti-Entropy already has experience with Houmu Paradise, so it's more appropriate for them to do it, isn't it?"
Moreover, he has created so many jobs for this region, shouldn't the local government give him some subsidies, including tax evasion allowances? As for whether they'll feel the pinch, what does that have to do with Nangong Yu and Anti-Entropy?
After saying that, Nangong Yu changed the subject: "However, let me make this clear beforehand, Headmaster, our cooperation is currently limited to this one amusement park. Any expansion to other parks afterward is our own business."
