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

Chapter 313: Mao Wuyong and Hua Wu are on the show, showing off their skills, and their competitors are defeated one after another! (2 in 1 order)

Mr. Zhao from Tianyou Capital: "Tell me, why was Mr. Lu willing to invest in useless technology? They were the laughing stock of the investment community back then!"

Brilliant Investment - Mr. Cao: "Haha, if Mr. Lu's thoughts could be easily guessed, then he's still Mr. Lu! Wasn't that what happened with Dark Horse Animation back then?"

Mr. Zhang from Yingchuang Fund: "Could it be that the dark horse animation and useless technology have some special shining points that have not been discovered yet?"

Mr. Li from Shunwei Investment:
"If that's the case... then the logic doesn't make sense. Think about it, Dark Horse Animation had changed countless investors before Lao Cao took over, including some big names in the investment circle. Not to mention the fact that the technology is useless. I don't know how many times it has been passed around. Otherwise, this company wouldn't have such a bad reputation.
But none of the previous investors could achieve the same results as Mr. Lu!"

Mr. Zhao from Tianyou Capital:
"So, we need to change our thinking. Could it be that Mr. Lu doesn't care whether the company he acquired has potential?"

Yingchuang Fund - Mr. Zhang:
"You're talking as if Mr. Lu is buying the company for fun. Who would do that?"

This reminded Mr. Cao. He pondered for a moment and suddenly slapped his head:
"I understand, I understand everything!"

Other group members urged, "What do you understand? Stop keeping us in suspense."

Mr. Cao said excitedly:

"The acquisition of Useless Technology is a comprehensive and well-considered move by President Lu!

Think about it, what products were made before technology became useful?
What about glasses for impromptu speeches, glasses for removing singlets, glasses for making eyes tear up...

Although those messy glasses look useless, they coincide with the product concept of Taoyuan Shenyou!

They all focus on multimedia, multi-sensory and multi-interactive experiences.

Mr. Lu certainly knew that his current size was no match for Longteng Group and Liu Group.
If we have to compete on technology and cost, we can't beat these two companies at all.

but!

When it comes to the thrilling experience of using silicone gaming suits and extra-dimensional tactile tape technology, Taoyuan Shenyou is unique!

Mr. Lu did not compete with them directly, but opened up another track.
Only a company like Wushiyou Technology can create such a unique product! "

After hearing this, Mr. Zhao from Tianyou Capital also became excited:
"You're saying it's not that Dark Horse Animation and Useless Technology are so awesome, but that their strategy aligned with Taoyuan Township's, which is why they were acquired by President Lu and became so awesome?"

Mr. Cao nodded and said, "That's right, everything is planned by Mr. Lu!"

Mr. Zhang from Yingchuang Fund exclaimed, "From the first day of acquiring Wuxiayou Technology, Mr. Lu has divinely predicted today's success. A young man like him is truly a business prodigy that only appears once in a decade!"

The other investment tycoons in the group also beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they had made a mistake and did not invest in Taoyuan Township in the early stage of its entrepreneurship.

Mr. Cao consoled them, "Everyone, although we missed Taoyuan Township's start-up period, it's still on the rise. We just need to keep an eye on Mr. Lu's movements. At least we can enjoy the soup while he eats the meat!"

The rest of the group nodded firmly: "That's right, we are determined to follow Mr. Lu in his career!"

……

after one day.

The "Evening Interview" program on Jianghai City TV's Channel 1 broadcast a special interview titled "My Wife is the Savior."

"Evening Interview" is the most popular and topical interview program on Jianghai TV, focusing on all aspects of society.

The fact that Taoyuan Township’s games can be featured on this program also shows how popular the games are.

After the show started, the female host smiled and said:
"Hello everyone, welcome to tonight's show.

If you were given a chance to travel to a virtual world and have a heart-to-heart date with your one and only girlfriend, how would you spend this sweet time?
Recently, Taoyuan Township, a high-tech enterprise in our city, has provided such an opportunity to consumers.

First, let’s look at some background information.”

Soon, the big screen in the studio began to broadcast the grand occasion after the release of Peach Blossom Land.

Taoyuan Fantasy Mall crashed.

Agents in various provinces and cities vacated their stores to put game consoles on the shelves.

Players lined up in long queues to grab items and even blocked the roads.

And all kinds of discussions about the game have never come down from the trending searches on Weibo.
Then, the screen changed, and well-known overseas gaming media also rated the game:

Japan's "Famitsu" gave the game a score of 38, entering the Platinum Hall of Fame.

IGN USA gave the game a score of 9.5.

On websites such as YouTube, Twitter, and RTS, overseas anchors have been busy live streaming games.

The most popular topic of discussion about this game is the request for localized language for the game:

An American netizen said: "I'm a Chinese student. I just finished playing My Wife is a Savior. It really feels like living in a dream! But seriously, can an English version be released? I want my friends to experience this masterpiece too!"

Brazilian netizens: "Please consider adding more languages, the whole world needs this epic love story!"

French netizens: "My Wife is a Savior has changed the rules of the VR game! The graphics, story, and gameplay, everything feels first-rate! However, developers, can we give European players a little care? Localization, please!"

……

After the screen was played, the host smiled and said:
"I'm sure everyone is curious about who made this game and what interesting stories happened behind the scenes.

Today, we have invited Mr. Mao Wuyong, CEO of Wushayong Technology, the developer of Taoyuan Shenyou, and Ms. Hua Wu, the game producer of "My Wife is the Savior," to talk about the fun of game development. Welcome to both of you!

The audience burst into warm applause.

In the guest seats, Mao Wuyong was wearing a wrinkled suit and looked stiff, while Hua Wu had a blank expression and looked drowsy.

This column is broadcast live simultaneously on major live broadcast websites, and the discussion of barrage is also very hot:

"A CEO without any use for technology looks so dull, and his suit looks tattered."

"Perhaps you don't usually wear suits, so you didn't have time to prepare?"

"By the way, this game was actually made by a girl?"

"Don't underestimate female drivers. Wan Xiaotong, the producer of Super Time and Space Moe Girl, is also a girl."

"The employees in Taoyuan Township all seem to be quite socially anxious hhhhhh."

The host first interviewed Mao Wuyong:

"Teacher Mao, please introduce yourself."

Mao Wuyong said stiffly, "I've been an entrepreneur in the smart wearable field for 16 years. Except for this year, the first 15 years were either failures or on the verge of failure."

There was joyful laughter at the scene.

The host also laughed and said, "Teacher Mao seems very humble. You must have some shining points, otherwise you wouldn't have been invested in by Taoyuan Township.

Mao Wuyong said frankly, "To be honest, I can't figure out why Mr. Lu invested in me. Even now, I can't sleep at night because I'm always thinking about it."

The program barrage began to flood the screen at this time:
"Mr. Lu? Is he the ruthless guy who led Taoyuan Township to achieve several small goals in just one year?"

"What's even more outrageous is that this guy has only been out of college for less than a year, and at such a young age, he's already been hailed as a 'new generation business prodigy.' Pineapple Ice OL on D Station even made a special video about him."

"If it's him, then it's not surprising. No one else has the courage and determination to enter the VR market."

The host had obviously heard of Mr. Lu, and a hint of admiration flashed across his eyes:
“I’m actually very curious. After joining Taoyuanxiang, what kind of transformation did you go through to create such a successful product?

Does Taoyuan Township have a very advanced and efficient management model like many multinational high-tech companies?

For example, ERP systems, ISO standards, and KPI systems?

And Mr. Lu, does he often hold meetings to plan strategies for you, like the CEOs in business war TV dramas?"

Barrage:

"Tsk tsk tsk, when talking about Mr. Lu, this beautiful host's eyes are almost tearing."

"Hahaha, he's young, promising, and rich, which beauty wouldn't love him?"

Mao Wuyong was confused when he heard this question.

What a mess, a transnational model and a strategic meeting?

Which dimension's paradise are you talking about?

That mess of English was unheard of. After he joined Taoyuan Township, he was only familiar with one English word, which was LSP!

That’s right, what the company lacks the least is LSP.

After a brief moment of confusion, Mao Wuyong said:

"Well, first of all, President Lu has never held a strategic meeting. After President Lu acquired us, he completely let go.

Mr. Lu’s requirement for us is very simple, that is, no taboos.

Mr. Lu said, “We will continue to make products in the same way we did when we started our business.”

The host asked doubtfully, "But hasn't your previous entrepreneurial strategy been proven to be unworkable?"

"I also asked Mr. Lu the same question, and this is how he answered."

Mao Wuyong imitated Lu Yu's tone honestly and said:

"That's the problem with those stupid investors. They just don't understand."

In front of the TV, many investors who had previously laughed at the lack of technology were once again shocked:

"We're all veterans in the investment industry with decades of experience. How dare this brat do this!"

The live broadcast room was filled with laughter: "Hahahahahahaha, I really like Mr. Lu's personality, crazy! Crazy enough!"

"You are so young and energetic."

"Can you be called a young man if you don't have a strong temper? Only with this kind of character can you achieve great things."

Then, Mao Wuyong continued:

"On the second day after the acquisition, Taoyuan Township invested 50 million yuan in us. During the development of Taoyuan Shenyou, they continued to invest 100 million yuan in us.

Mr. Lu also said that it doesn’t matter if you lose money while conducting trial and error in product development.

The audience in the audience and those watching the live broadcast were shocked:

“What kind of divine investor is this?”

"It doesn't matter if you lose money? Are you worried about having too much money to burn?"

"At least, the money we gave to Taoyuan Township was used by Taoyuan Township to research and develop new technologies, rather than playing with finance or speculating in real estate. That's enough."

Mao Wuyong continued:
"After that, we listened to Mr. Lu and incorporated all the weird technical details we had previously worked on into the Taoyuan Shenyou product."

IT colleagues watching the show were also shocked:

"Damn, if making products is really that easy, we would have succeeded long ago. That Mr. Lu must be trying to disrupt our thinking and deliberately encouraging employees to say this. It's a smokescreen, it must be a smokescreen!"

The host obviously wanted to find out more gossip about Lu Yu, so he continued to ask:

"Then... apart from the instructions given when the investment was first made, has Mr. Lu made any further interventions in the product since then?"

Mao Wuyong thought for a moment:

"After that, President Lu basically only gave us instructions on two matters.

One is to give money, the other is to give welfare."

"..."

The host and the audience were silent and speechless.

Mao Wuyong counted on his fingers, listing them like the back of his hand:

"The company's benefits are so varied, they're even more numerous than the employee code of conduct. For example, there's the 543 work system, the efficiency-reducing and cost-increasing system, various shopping subsidies, birthday gifts, project dividends, all sorts of unreasonable vacations, and team-building activities...

Oh, in addition to this, Mr. Lu will also give us extra pocket money.

One time, Mr. Lu suddenly transferred 1000 million to Wushayong Technology for no apparent reason and asked me to take my brothers out to have some fun.

I thought that instead of spending the money on enjoyment, it would be better to upgrade the R&D equipment.

When Mr. Lu heard my idea, he got furious and sent a specialist from the company's administration department to monitor our spending of the money while we were eating and drinking."

The host smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, maybe Mr. Lu thinks that a good rest can help one work more effectively."

Mao Wuyong shook his head:
"No, no, no, it should be said that Mr. Lu doesn't seem to care about work efficiency and results at all.

For example, for such an important matter as the first release of Taoyuan Shenyou, Mr. Lu didn't even make a phone call to ask.
But Mr. Lu unexpectedly paid close attention to two things about the company..."

The host's appetite was whetted, and he quickly asked, "Which two?"

My colleagues in the gaming and technology industries who were watching TV also perked up:

"Here I come, after all this talk, I'm finally going to get to the point!"

They waited in front of the TV for so long just to find out Mr. Lu’s exclusive business secrets from this seemingly naive employee!

Mao Wuyong said frankly: "Cats and afternoon tea."

"..."

The entire audience fell silent again, and even the comments in the live broadcast room decreased due to confusion.

Mao Wuyong didn't notice the change in atmosphere at all, thinking back:
"Every day at 10 a.m., our company has an hour-long cat-stroking period, and everyone from management to grassroots employees must strictly follow this rule.

We have a variety of cat breeds. As you know, Taoyuan Township has its own cat cafe called "Mao Zhi Ming", so a special car will deliver cats to us every day.

Mr. Lu attaches great importance to the mood of each cat. The effect of our cat petting will be included in the assessment criteria. If we serve the cats well, we will get extra bonuses.

As for the afternoon tea that starts at 3 pm every day, it is even more special.

Mr. Lu often invites employees from our branch to the company headquarters during afternoon tea time to receive development encouragement from the "Tangtang Five Sisters."

These five sisters are very cute!

Especially the limited-time refreshed Milk Candy. After wearing white silk stockings, her beauty and figure are really amazing! And she likes to pour cream on her white stockings..."

The host's face turned pale and he quickly interrupted: "Okay, thank you Teacher Mao for sharing. Let's move on to the next topic."

My goodness, if he keeps talking, the show will be ruined.

……

She turned to Hua Wu with trepidation.

Although this girl looks drowsy, but... she should be a normal person, right?
The host and program director prayed silently in their hearts.

host:
"Ms. Huawu, as we all know, 'My Wife is the Savior' has achieved tremendous success, even breaking Taoyuan Township's historical sales record.
So everyone is curious about your experience as a producer in creating such a successful game. Could you please briefly introduce it to us?"

My fellow game industry colleagues in front of the TV, cheer up again:
"Here it comes, another key piece of information is coming!
From Mao Wuyong's interview just now, we can tell that while Mr. Lu's management methods may be a bit slick, he might actually be good at identifying and employing talent. The talent Mr. Lu has recruited isn't exactly the top talent in the gaming industry, but it's definitely at the top of the heap!

Hua Wu is a producer at such a young age. It seems that he is either from BAT in China or a big boss of an overseas 3A company!
As long as we get hold of Mr. Lu’s talent channel, we can intercept him!
Who doesn't know how to rob someone?!"

Hua Wu adjusted her black-framed glasses to hide the dark circles under her eyes, and said leisurely:

"I graduated from an ordinary non-key university. After graduation, I failed to get selected in all campus recruitments. I lost my status as a fresh graduate and have been unemployed at home ever since.
Therefore, before joining Taoyuanxiang, I had no experience working in the gaming industry. I stayed at home playing games and writing novels. "

The host was dumbfounded.

This is a little different from the resume she imagined.

She had no choice but to make small talk and continued, "It's not good to stay at home all the time. You should go exercise outdoors."

"really."

Hua Wu nodded. "So, at one point I even thought about delivering food there."

Colleagues in front of the TV were dumbfounded again.

After all this relationship trouble, the producer of this incredibly popular game is a useless, cute, nerdy girl who gave up as soon as she graduated?!

The host asked curiously, "So, how did you join Taoyuan Township in the first place?"

My colleagues, whose defenses had been broken to the point of exhaustion, patiently picked up their pens again.

Anyone who can create a hit product is a talent after all. Maybe Mr. Lu has some special interview method that can recruit talents without any restrictions?
Hua Wu thought about it and said frankly:
"Mr. Lu didn't conduct any complicated interviews.

He called me and made an appointment. We chatted briefly for about ten minutes, had a cup of coffee, and the deal was done.

Mr. Lu asked me three questions in total.
First question: What are your weird writing habits?

My answer: Writing in bed in my bathrobe.

Second question: Are you a procrastinator?
My answer: Yes.

Question 3: If you could only keep one thing in your room, what would you choose?
My answer: bed.

Then, Mr. Lu asked me to come to work the next day."

This time, my colleagues threw away their pens and notebooks, and their defense was completely broken:
"What the hell!

Mr. Lu, you hired a non-degreed girl to be the escort producer of the new game console. I won't say anything to you.

I just think you are awesome and bold, and you like to gamble!
But you're telling me, are you interviewing?!

It's okay that the question is weird, but she told you she's a procrastinator, and you're still insisting on asking her. So you favor procrastination, right?"

What surprised them the most was that the people they recruited in this way actually succeeded!
This... who can I go to for justice?
Colleagues in front of the TV were shaking with excitement.

The host is a professional after all. Although his heart was in turmoil, he remained calm on the surface:

"So, Miss Huawu, since you're a homebody, could you tell me about the games you like to play?"

My colleagues clutched their chests and climbed up from in front of the TV, patiently comforting themselves:

It’s okay, it’s okay. Maybe this Miss Hua has had a talent for appreciating games since she was young, and has read well-known 3A masterpieces at home and abroad, and can accurately tell the design points of these games?

Hua Wu waved her fingers, listing them all:

"Tenjin Ranman," "Witch's Banquet," "Thousand Loves and Flowers," "Starlight Cafe and Death Butterfly"..."

The comments in the live broadcast room were shocked: "I'm boiling! Youzi chef!"

The host had never heard of these things and continued to smile politely: "Anything else?"

Hua Wu tilted her head and asked, "Have you heard of GALGAME's Ten Divine Weapons and Ten Magical Weapons?"
