Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

There's no time to attend to this.

He seized the opportunity, quickly scanned the crowd to make sure no one was paying attention to him, then swiftly stuffed several cassette tapes into his briefcase. He straightened his collar, left nonchalantly, and blended into the crowd, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

As night fell, the hustle and bustle of the Canton Fair gradually subsided, and the lights in the venue were turned off one by one, leaving only a few emergency lights emitting a faint glow.

The staff of 361°, exhausted, began to tidy up the booth.

Xiao Li was in charge of counting the number of cassette tapes. He counted them carefully, but his brows furrowed more and more.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! The cassette tape has been stolen!"

The surrounding staff gathered around, their faces showing surprise and worry.

Xiao Wang asked anxiously, "What happened? How much is missing?"

Xiao Li replied in a trembling voice, "Several important cassette tapes are missing, at least five or six boxes. What are we going to do?"

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Their eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Dong's relaxed expression instantly turned serious.

He knew full well what the theft of game cartridges meant. It not only concerned the company's interests, but also damaged the company's reputation and could affect its future development if piracy became rampant.

He immediately led his staff to the monitoring room.

The monitoring room was dimly lit, and several old monitoring devices hummed as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of time.

The staff skillfully operated the equipment and retrieved the surveillance footage near the 361° booth today.

In the surveillance footage, they clearly saw the Hong Kong businessman's suspicious behavior.

Chen Dong clenched his fist angrily and slammed it heavily on the table, saying, "It must be him, that despicable guy, he actually came to steal our products!"

His eyes revealed anger and resentment, as if he wanted to drag the Hong Kong businessman out of the screen.

"Boss, what should we do now?" an employee asked anxiously.

Chen Dong took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Don't panic, we need to think of a way to deal with this quickly."

Without delay, Chen Dong convened an emergency meeting that very night in the hotel's conference room with key company members and distributors.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and oppressive. The overhead lights shone a stark white light on everyone's faces, and worry was written all over them.

Chen Dong stood before the crowd, his expression serious and his tone heavy, and said, "The situation is critical. Our cassette tapes have been stolen by Hong Kong businessmen. Given their methods, they are very likely to start producing pirated copies. We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom; we must take immediate action."

The meeting room erupted in commotion as everyone whispered and discussed amongst themselves.

A distributor stood up, frowning and looking anxious, and asked, "Boss, what should we do? Time is so tight, will we make it in time?"

Chen Dong took a deep breath, his gaze firm, and said decisively, "Our only option now is to contact distributors across the country overnight and have them urgently launch and sell the cartridge games we're showcasing at the booth today. We need to seize the market before piracy appears."

Another distributor hesitated, looking troubled, and stood up, saying, "But boss, launching so hastily without proper promotion, how can it be effective? We usually prepare promotional plans well in advance when launching new games, but now..."

Chen Dong looked at everyone with a firm gaze and patiently explained, "We have no other choice. Although time is tight, our game itself is of excellent quality. Moreover, we can let players know that our game has been released through some simple channels, such as posting posters in local game stores and word-of-mouth promotion."

"As long as we act quickly enough, we still have a chance. Think about it, our gameplay is unique, and the small-scale tests we did before were very well received. Once players try it, they will be attracted. We need to have confidence in our product."

After listening to Chen Dong's words and thinking for a short while, everyone nodded in agreement.

So, the phone rang incessantly throughout the night.

The staff worked diligently to communicate and coordinate with distributors in various regions.

Xiao Zhang dialed a distributor's number and said quickly, "Hello, Mr. Liu, this is Xiao Zhang from 361 Games. There's an emergency; our game cartridges have been stolen, and there's a high chance of piracy. So we've decided to release the game urgently. Can you arrange the distribution?"

Mr. Liu's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with surprise: "Huh? So sudden? This is too tight a timeframe. I still need to organize the inventory in the warehouse and arrange manpower. Besides, I've been very busy with business lately, and I'm already a bit short-handed..."

Xiao Zhang quickly said, "Boss Liu, this is really urgent. The boss said it concerns the life and death of the company. You must help us. Think about it, if pirated versions are released first, our market will be taken over, and future cooperation opportunities will be affected."

Mr. Liu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll do my best, but you'll have to come up with more ideas for advertising. At most, I can get the goods into the store; advertising is really difficult."

Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Mr. Liu, the company will find a way to handle the publicity. Thank you so much. If you encounter any difficulties, please let us know and we will overcome them together."

Chen Dong also personally called several key distributors to explain the situation and sales plan in detail.

He dialed Mr. Zhang's number and said anxiously, "Mr. Zhang, this is extremely urgent. Our game has been targeted and must be launched immediately. You must fully cooperate and arrange distribution overnight."

Mr. Zhang, the owner on the other end of the phone, quickly replied, "Boss, don't worry, I'll do my best. It's just that the promotion... My shop is small, and we usually promote new games by distributing flyers and putting up posters at the door. This time it's so sudden, I'm afraid the effect won't be good. Besides, there's a lot of competition around here, and other shops will definitely be eyeing the new game. If the promotion doesn't keep up, it will be hard to attract customers."

Chen Dong interrupted him, saying, "Regarding the advertising, you can first put up some posters in the store to promote it to your regular customers. We will also try to do some supplementary advertising. Mr. Zhang, we're counting on you this time. As long as we act quickly, we can minimize the losses. If you can mobilize more of the store's staff to introduce it to customers, that would be even better."

Mr. Zhang said, "Boss, since you've said so..."
