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

Chapter 412: Reviewing the Gains of the VR Era and Starting a New Journey in the Somatosensory Warehouse Era (2-in-1 Order Request)

After returning to China, Lu Yu fully felt the craze of the somatosensory warehouse era.

Because, on the flight back to China, various news about Apple and Google's motion sensing warehouses were being broadcast.

The customer next to him complained, "Wow, last time the VR glasses were barely even launched, and this time they've already evolved into a somatosensory headset?"

……

The following Monday, at work, Lu Yu opened the operations report on his computer with trembling hands.

These emails provide him with a summary of the company's current operating data.

But he is currently in a leisurely state, so he usually only takes the time to look at this summary table at the end of each cycle.

Unlike the previous times, this time Lu Yu was mentally prepared because he had seen the Tokyo Game Show.

I hope the data is not too outrageous...

It took Lu Yu a long time to calm down and see the background data clearly:

At this time, half a month had passed since the release of Taoyuan Township Battle Card.
The total sales of the game have exceeded 2200 million copies.

According to Lu Yu's experience, it would be no problem to exceed 3000 million sets in the first month.

The game's first wave of card booster packs has sold a full 2000 million boxes.

As a result, the sales of the Utopia Lightyear console soared, and now has reached a record-breaking sales of 6500 million!
With an installed base of 6500 million game consoles, it can be regarded as an industry leader in the global game industry.

Moreover, this sales volume only refers to the sales volume of licensed game consoles in China, and does not include overseas markets.

However, Lu Yu could see that if Taoyuan Township's game consoles were exported, they would definitely be blocked by the world's three major companies, and then another bloody business war would be inevitable.

He also planned to use this business war to pour another bucket of water to completely extinguish the involutionary tendencies of the little rollicking king in the company!

……

Moreover, from the email summary report, Lu Yu noticed the outstanding performance of "The Last Stand", an interactive movie set in a somatosensory cabin, in the overseas market.

As Taoyuanxiang Company's pioneering work in the field of film and television entertainment, "The Last Line" has been widely acclaimed since its release.

This dystopian apocalyptic sci-fi blockbuster perfectly combines traditional screen viewing with the new somatosensory warehouse technology, bringing the audience an unprecedented immersive experience.

Even many Hollywood academic film critics have praised "The Frontier" as "a model of the perfect combination of film art and technology" and a "revolutionary work that opens a new era of future entertainment."

Since its North American release, "The Last Stand" has seen a rapid, global spread. In just two weeks, the action-packed blockbuster received release approvals in Europe, Japan, South Korea, and other regions, sparking a staggering viewing boom in those regions.

Statistics show that "The Last Stand" has grossed over $5.8 million in North America and €4.2 million in major European countries. Even in Japan and South Korea, this sci-fi blockbuster, often considered "slightly dark and violent," has attracted over 400 million viewers.

In addition to its astonishing box office figures, "The Last Stand" has successfully ignited a global craze for interactive movies using motion-sensing pods. More and more film production companies are realizing the enormous potential of this new viewing model and are inquiring about partnerships with Taoyuanxiang.

Industry insiders generally predict that in the next few years, motion picture cabin movies will become the hottest development direction in the film and television industry!
For this reason, Stewart, the head of Taoyuanxiang Films, has been grinning from ear to ear these days!

……

Regardless of the popularity of the game console or the layout of the somatosensory cabin, both resulted in one result:

The useless technology company’s hardware orders are booming!

Previously, the Taoyuan Township President's Office had been personally supervising the operations of these branches, fearing that they would recruit people indiscriminately and recruit the King of Rolls.

But now the volume of business orders faced by Useless Technology Company is still far greater than the size of Taoyuan Township's small company.

Lu Yu could no longer interfere with the personnel appointments and dismissals of every employee, so he had to delegate power to the useless technology.

The result of this is the rapid expansion of Meishayou Technology. Currently, the branch has more than 600 employees.

And we are still recruiting people continuously.

In fact, apart from the useless technology, Lu Yu also delegated power to Taoyuan Huimeng, Maozhiming Coffee Shop, and Xiaohutuxian Company.

I had never asked about these branches before, and basically let them be free.
As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. The general environment of this world is involution, so...

Lu Yu clicked on the system notification with a bit of trepidation.

Sure enough, a flood of system notifications began to flood the screen:
Zhao Gang, the production line supervisor with useless technology, shortens his team members' rest time. Leisure points -1500.

Li Hui, the workshop safety inspector at Xiaohutuxian Company, takes advantage of a personal grudge against his colleague Wang Meng to create difficulties, escalating the conflict between the two. Leisure Points -1800

The manager of the third Maozhiming chain store took advantage of his position to withhold half of the employee benefits distributed by the head office and embezzled them, causing the remaining half of the employees to fight internally over the limited benefits. A critical strike occurred, resulting in a -2300 leisure points.

Wu Xin, a newcomer to Taoyuan Huimeng's animation team, worked tirelessly on animation for three weeks due to a competition with another intern for a permanent position. She suffered a 22-hit streak and her leisure points were -3200.

……

Damn it? ? ?

Damn it! ! !

Lu Yu's blood pressure rose as he watched, and he didn't dare to watch any further!
Since acquiring Xiaohutuxian, Taoyuanxiang now has a total of 1800 employees.
The growth rate of leisure point income compared to last month was -180%!

In other words, this month's point income is negative, which is 5% of last month's income!
"Hehe, hehe..."

Lu Yu was so angry that he laughed.

Right,

He was naive.

He is too naive!
He shouldn't delegate so much power over personnel appointments and dismissals!

After all, this world is a world of extreme involution. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Three people can create a good drama of intrigue and faction formation, not to mention 1800 people. Wouldn't that mean all kinds of office infighting dramas would be taken to the extreme?

It seems that the Leisurely Daily King and Werewolf Killing system can no longer adapt to the current scale of the company.

What he worried about happened. The company's internal conflicts intensified and it may slide to the edge of being out of control!
At this time, the surrounding employees saw Lu Yu's reaction and whispered in the development group:
"Boss Lu must be finally smiling with relief after seeing our games and movies become a hit overseas, right?"

"But let's be honest, Mr. Lu's reaction is too calm, isn't it?"

"Look, he's truly worthy of being President Lu! Now, no matter what achievements our company makes, it can't shake President Lu's heart!"

"What is the true god of business? Tactical retreat.jpg"

Lu Yu's heart was in turmoil at this moment!

There is no doubt that he was stabbed in the back again!
The first one is Sberg's Taoyuanxiang Pictures. Xia Shangyu successfully used this film company to stab him in the back three times!
He no longer had the energy to blame Xia Shangyu, because the Douban ratings for that crappy company of Sperger's weren't just bullshit. So, was he actually to blame for insisting on supporting him and even bringing Liu Mengyuan to star in the movie himself?
In addition, the cooperation with Paramount is probably also one of the reasons.

Although Sberg's team is useless, Paramount is a century-old film studio after all, and they have real stuff!

Also, what the hell is wrong with you competitors?

Pei Shengnan, ah Pei Shengnan, I thought highly of you, but it turns out you are worse than trash!
Tell me, what a great IP "Xie Yun Liuchuan" is. I'm counting on you to show off your skills at the Tokyo Game Show.

What’s the matter? Do you have such a big grudge against me?

Would you rather commit suicide so that I can earn less leisure points?
There is also Youyi's Youyi Park. The protagonist this time was originally yours,
And the Pokémon Company and Konami, why did your new card game fail?

Why ahhhh?

Looking at these competitors who had originally had high hopes for him, Lu Yu was extremely angry.

As for the competing products of other small and medium-sized manufacturers, Lu Yu doesn't want to say more.

Whether it is Dilidili, Chuangmeng Tiandi, or Nanshanju, their new products are not very popular and have not even made a splash.
……

Lu Yu learned from his mistakes and decided to make a comeback in the era of somatosensory warehouses!

However, before officially starting, Lu Yu plans to take stock of the gains from the previous cycles and see what resources he has available.

In the first four cycles after obtaining the system, Lu Yu produced a total of three main games, "My Wife is the Savior", "The Final Line of Defense", and "Taoyuan Township Battle Card", as well as 6 VR dessert-level games.

In addition to the sales of useless game consoles, Taoyuan Huimeng's animation licensing fees, Taoyuan Kaiwu Engine's annual fees, Taoyuan Guangnian's gift income and business income, and Xiaohutuxian Company's equipment income,

Taoyuan Township has achieved a monthly revenue of 18.5 billion yuan so far.

Moreover, there are currently 1800 employees in Taoyuan Township Head Office and its subordinate branches!
Originally, he wanted to recruit some Crouching Dragons and Phoenix Chicks to lie down with him, but unexpectedly, by mistake, the ones he recruited were really Crouching Dragons and Phoenix Chicks in some sense.

And now, these newly recruited talents are polluting the entire company.

Under the influence of these little kings and those who are poisoned by the wolf culture,

Now, there is a total of 52 billion yuan left in the company's account!

"This... this is too exaggerated!"

……

While Lu Yu was confused, a system prompt popped up in front of him:
[This cycle is about to end. The current leisure points are 95625 points. Exchange is in progress...]

9562500 yuan has been credited to my personal account.

[The next settlement cycle is: 120 days later]

Seeing this tip, Lu Yu's expression changed from happy to sad, then happy to sad again, constantly changing...

Wow, in one settlement cycle, the point income directly exceeded 900 million, which can be said to have set a new record!
This is where Lu Yu was surprised!
Lu Yu could probably guess why he was able to create this record.
Because, although the employees were not very motivated, the players participating in the Tokyo Game Show were very supportive.

In this cycle, participating players contributed a lot of leisure points!
This is all because of the BUFF on Lu Yu:

[Grand Rally Level 3: For the next 120 days, fans of Taoyuan Township will receive a 200% increase in leisure points when participating in game exhibitions.]

So, Lu Yu looked back at the records and found that at the exhibition, those foreigners who were making a fuss looked like they had never seen the world before, and their critical hit points were only a few hundred.

Seeing this, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Lu Yu continues to spread Taoyuan Township’s various anti-involutionary cultural products, there will be plenty of opportunities to earn points!
The system continues to prompt:

[The tasks of this cycle are being settled]

The company will complete the following additional tasks: Before the end of the period, release a new VR game developed by Taoyuanxiang Company. The game must feature a two-player mode, and the project budget must be no less than 5 million.

[Congratulations on completing the extra mission of the cycle: reward: a random surprise lottery draw]

Then, the lucky draw wheel began to spin, and then burst into orange light:

[Empathy Level 3: Over the next 120 days, Taoyuan Township employees will receive a 300% increase in leisure points when experiencing the virtual cockpit.]

[Received new additional tasks for this cycle]

[Additional Task: Before the end of the period, release Taoyuanxiang Company's first flagship game. This game must be an open-world Xianxia theme, with a budget of no less than 20 billion and utilizing at least three cutting-edge innovative technologies.]

[Task Reward: Random Surprise Effect]

In fact, in the past few days, Lu Yu has already had some preliminary ideas in his mind.

That is, Taoyuan Township’s next major work must be sufficiently unconventional and must be a flagship.

The reason why Lu Yu made such a decision was not because he had figured it out and did not want to stop employees from rolling inwards,
Quite the contrary!

Through the success of "Taoyuan Township Battle Card", Lu Yu deeply reflected on his past business strategies.

He previously thought that choosing a niche subject matter would be doomed to become unpopular in the market, and that it would be defeated by the giants, and the employees would completely give up, and the anti-involution cause would be stable.

But unexpectedly, although the subject matter is unpopular, there is very little competition, which allows these little scroll kings from Taoyuan Township to accidentally succeed!
This time, he wants to make a real flagship, the kind that requires huge investment, until he gets broken into and bleeds!
Lu Yu’s use of the phrase “bloody head” is not an exaggeration at all!

Entering the somatosensory war, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, the three companies are all quite large in size, and have formed relatively mature rules, secondary markets, and global competitions.

Over the years, new flagship games have continued to emerge, trying to challenge the status of these three companies, but they were all defeated.

With Taoyuan Township's current size, it is easy to imagine what the consequences would be if it rashly entered this market.

To put it bluntly, it is not easy to make a hit RPG game. There are requirements for card design, IP, and game rules.
But if you go in the direction of mediocrity and failure, there are too many failed card games to refer to. There are countless card games under Bandai Namco alone, and every one of them fails.

Isn’t it so easy to make a flop product?

Thinking of this, Lu Yu's mouth curled up happily.

……

At this moment, Liu Mengyuan, who was sitting not far from him, also saw a system prompt pop up in front of him:
[Gained 83050 proficiency points in this cycle]

[Among them, the proficiency points related to career development are 39392 points]

Liu Mengyuan's pretty face froze instantly.

Wow, in the last cycle, we finally managed to get the proportion of businesses earning proficiency points to over 50%.

How come it's coming down again in this cycle?!
