My Animation Era

Chapter 1074 Dimensional Lake

Jiangchuan Tourism Innovation Investment Co., Ltd., just hearing the name may make you think that this is an unknown small company.

  But this company is not small.

Their annual revenue is in the hundreds of billions, but ordinary people don’t know much about the investment fields and businesses, so they have never heard of this company’s name.

certainly!

 Even if ordinary people knew about the huge scale of this company, they would probably not be interested. After all, it is a vest 100% controlled by the state-owned assets department. It is normal for state-owned enterprises to have this size.

“Mr. Chen, nice to meet you!”

In Wanbao Pleasant Goat Park, after shaking hands with a deputy general manager sent by Jiangchuan Tourism Venture Capital Company, Gu Miao led the way: "Let's talk while walking?"

"Can!"

Vice President Chen had no objection, so the two of them, accompanied by a group of entourage, visited the construction status of Wanbao Pleasant Goat Park and discussed the so-called equity cooperation.

 In fact, there is nothing to talk about.

Lu Venture Capital is the God of Wealth who comes to give money to Wanbao. Since it is giving money, it must have already figured out the operating conditions of Pleasant Goat Paradise.

 Gu Miao knew this, so when explaining and introducing the park, he did not focus on exaggerating the operating conditions of the park management company. Instead, he took Vice President Chen to see some of the park's existing problems.

For example, public facilities are old and need to be replaced after five or six years or even more.

 The passenger flow in Animation Street, Game Street and Comic Street is too large, which puts great pressure on the security work of the park. At the same time, Animation Street is the street with the highest flow of people, and the main road needs to be widened.

 These all cost money…

 Where does the money come from?

The God of Wealth took the initiative to give money to his door, but Gu Miao was not polite. He complained all kinds of things but always meant the same thing: giving money!

“Mr. Gu, I already knew about the situation in Paradise before I came here.”

 As a person within the system, Vice President Chen is more concerned about Wanbao’s future plans for this paradise, not just the current difficulties it faces.

 To put it a bit harshly.

 What kind of big problem is the problem that the paradise is facing now? As long as there is money, it is no problem to upgrade facilities, build new public toilets and parking lots, or even widen roads.

 But this money cannot be spent in vain.

 As a representative within the system, Vice President Chen is thinking more long-term. He mainly wants to ask how to maintain the "city business card" of Pleasant Goat Paradise in the long run.

 Anyone can spend money.

 But how to spend the same amount of money with better results was his test for Wanbao Group and Gu Miao.

 This is also the focus of the negotiations.

Vice President Chen’s meaning is very clear. If Wanbao is not sure, or does not know how to operate the “Second Dimension Holy Land” for fifty years or even a hundred years, then let the venture capital companies that hold the majority share the absolute initiative.

vice versa.

If Wanbao Group has a specific plan and is confident that it can do better, the venture capital company will not "layman guide the expert", just invest money and become a shareholder.

 “Do you know Akihabara?”

"heard about it…"

“Then you should also know that when we at Wanbao started this project, our target was Neon Akihabara, and we wanted to create a two-dimensional holy land belonging to Jiangchuan.”

Gu Miao explained: “Akihabara was originally an electronics street selling rice cookers, refrigerators and other household appliances, and later evolved into selling 3C digital products such as computers and game consoles, gradually attracting a large number of loyal users of animation and comic products. "

 This is actually a hot knowledge.

Akihabara had nothing to do with the second dimension at the beginning. It was just an electronics street at the beginning.

The opportunity to truly become related to the second dimension, and even evolve into a second dimension holy land, was actually the advent and popularity of digital products such as computers and game consoles.

 “What do you want to say?”

Vice President Chen didn’t quite understand why the past and present days of Akihabara were suddenly mentioned.

“What I want to say is that Akihabara has transformed from an electronics street into a two-dimensional holy land. This transformation has been a great success and made Akihabara famous all over the world.”

 Gu Miao pursed her lips and said with a solemn expression: "My thoughts and plans are also to transform, break out of the original Pleasant Goat Paradise framework, and move forward with the goal of building a cultural industry cluster commercial center."

 The two-dimensional holy land is always referred to as Pleasant Goat Paradise, which is a bit too narrow.

  After all, the holy land that everyone often refers to actually refers to the streets that intersect with each other: Animation Street, Comic Street, and Game Street.

Although these streets are located inside Pleasant Goat Paradise, from a practical point of view, 80% of tourists come to these streets instead of Pleasant Goat Paradise.

 So the paradise can continue to exist, but it can no longer be named the "two-dimensional holy land".

 The real two-dimensional holy land, that is, the core ACGN industrial streets, will be renamed by another name, such as "Wanbao District" or "Wanbao City"? Pleasant Goat Paradise became a unit under the jurisdiction of Wanbao City.

"good idea!"

Vice President Chen praised: "Always using the place name of Pleasant Goat Paradise is indeed very narrow and not conducive to promotion and publicity. There is no problem in changing the name, but the name you chose is too vulgar."

 “In my opinion, this name should add some Jiangchuan regional characteristics!”

“There is an artificial lake right near Wanbao Pleasant Goat Paradise. How about naming it after this lake?”

Artificial lake?

 Gu Miao's expression was startled, and she immediately remembered that there was indeed a large artificial lake in the southwest corner of the park, and the name of this lake was "Dimensional Lake", which meant breaking the dimensional wall.

 “Dimensional Lake!”

Vice President Chen smiled and said: "In the future, we will focus on promoting this name and firmly binding the Second Dimension Holy Land and Dimensional Lake together. What do you think, Mr. Gu?"

"sure!"

Of course Gu Miao has no objection, after all, it was his suggestion to change the name.

 It’s just that Vice President Chen proposed using the “Dimensional Lake” to bind the Second Dimension Holy Land, which made him a little surprised and stunned.

This artificial lake was dug by Wanbao when it was building Pleasant Goat Paradise. It was also named by Gu Miao. When he named it, he never thought that this artificial lake would become a "city business card" of Jiangchuan in the future.

 Okay!

In the future, a sign will be erected by the lake. When the tour guide leads the group here, he will explain to the foreign tourists:

"The name of Dimensional Lake means breaking the dimensional wall! It is said that Mr. Gu Miao, the founder of Wanbao, walked to the lake for a walk one night. While staring at the lake, he suddenly saw a grassland, so he was inspired to create "Pleasant Goat and Goat" Big Big Wolf》…”

What?

You said that this lake didn't exist at all when Gu Miao was filming the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf animation? Is the tour guide talking nonsense?

oops! Don't be too serious!

 Besides, no one may believe this plot at the time, but as time goes by, especially decades later, except for the older generation who know the true origin of the Dimensional Lake, how can young people tell the truth from the false?

 “Hahaha, yes!”

When Vice President Chen heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "From now on, we will promote it like this. Dimensional Lake is the place where you can walk at night and get the idea of ​​"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"."

 It doesn’t matter whether others believe it or not.

Are those ancient legends about scenic spots or places of interest all true? It’s not a mixture of truth and falsehood, it’s mostly the version heard by the public.    Time will dilute everything.

 Fifty years from now, who will still remember how the Dimensional Lake came about? Everyone will only remember the story of the founder of Wanbao getting drunk late at night, accidentally falling into a dimensional lake, accidentally breaking the dimensional wall, and achieving a legendary life.

 “Hey wait!”

“When did I get drunk late at night and accidentally fall into the dimensional lake?” The more Gu Miao listened, the more outrageous it became. This was different from the version he just said!

“Your version is too watery and lacks the ability to spread the story.”

“Besides, accidentally falling into the lake fits the phrase “breaking the dimensional wall”! "Vice President Chen's smile was extremely bright.

Gu Miao: “…”

 It seems so!

Just staring at the lake, it is true that there is no legendary figure who fell into the lake in embarrassment. The idea of ​​accidentally breaking the dimensional wall is even more shocking.

From the perspective of journalism and communication, the revised version by Vice President Chen is the most popular version among the public and the one most likely to be passed down.

That's how it was decided.

  Wanbao Pleasant Goat Paradise was reorganized and established Ciyuan Lake Tourism Culture Development Company. Wanbao Group holds 61% of the shares, and Jiangchuan Tourism Venture Capital invested 981 million for 39% of the shares!

 There is nothing to say about the shareholding ratio.

The God of Wealth has given away nearly one billion in cash to develop tourism and business facilities around Diyuan Lake. He would not be happy if the shares were lost.

What's more, Lu Venture Capital does not intervene in the company's management. It simply holds shares and enjoys dividends from operating income. It will also provide various official endorsement guarantees for the Ciyuan Lake development project.

As we all know, the focus of a sentence is often the second half.

 What Gu Miao cares about is not the money, but the official protection and the far-reaching influence that Diyuan Lake will have in the future when it becomes a "city business card".

To say that this project can make a lot of money is definitely an exaggeration. Whether it is Gu Miao or Jiangchuan officials, what matters most is the fame that this project brings.

 The latter is easy to understand.

Ci Yuan Lake has become a business card of the city. The surrounding cultural industry supporting facilities built around Ci Yuan Lake will greatly boost the GDP growth of Jiangchuan and drive countless tourists to come and check in.

 As for Wanbao, it is Gu Miao’s selfishness.

Maybe many years later, Wanbao may not still exist, and people will gradually forget about him.

But as long as Jiangchuan City and Dimensional Lake still exist, people will remember him and the legendary animation producer who fell into the lake late at night and realized enlightenment.

 “Leave a name in history!”

Little Bear is always envious. A "city business card" project like this is a great achievement that no amount of money can buy.

It can be said that once the Ci Yuan Lake project is implemented, Gu Miao will become a representative celebrity in the city of Jiangchuan. As long as Ci Yuan Lake is still there, people in this city will always remember him.

 Achieving such an achievement, Little Bear will definitely be envious.

After all, this is something he will never be able to do in his lifetime. Even if he becomes the richest man in the world through real estate, with assets worth trillions of dollars, so what?

People today remember him, but in a few decades or hundreds of years, will anyone really remember him as the richest man?

 “Am I not worthy?”

 Gu Miao groaned: "What I brought to Jiangchuan is not only jobs or tax revenue, but also a world-renowned "two-dimensional holy land" city card..."

 “That’s definitely worthy!”

“If nothing else, people in the hotel and catering industry in Jiangchuan must be very grateful to you. If you and Wanbao hadn’t attracted so many tourists, their business wouldn’t be so good.”

Mr. Little Bear chuckled and said, "By the way, you are so successful, have you ever thought about retirement?"

"retire?"

"That's right! If I were you, if I made enough money and became famous, I would be traveling around the world and enjoying life by now."

Little Bear’s words were filled with envy: “Don’t tell me that you’re not satisfied yet and want to keep doing it, right?”

"maybe!"

Gu Miao did not deny or admit it, and replied ambiguously: "You want to retire, but I think it's too early. There is no one who can take over my job at the moment."

“But if I continue to work at a high intensity, I probably won’t be able to persist. Maybe one new work a year will be my limit…”

 This is true.

As he gets older, Gu Miao also develops some minor physical problems, such as occupational diseases related to the cervical and lumbar spine.

 After finishing "Go Boy", the reason why he did not start a new animation project immediately was mainly to maintain his health.

 The doctor's advice to him was not to sit for long periods of time, abstain from sexual activity, and pay attention to dietary patterns. He thought it made sense, so now he goes to the gym whenever he has free time.

 For work-related matters, leave it to Lao Zhang if you can. Only when you really can’t push it, he will step in to solve it.

 “In his thirties, he pretends to be an old man...”

Little Bear always said with disdain: "You are weak. Don't always think it's because of your age. Why am I fine?"

“Please remove the wolfberry from the thermos cup before you say this to me.”

Lazy for this product to argue whether the body is as a wife or the reason for the age, Gu Miao said impatiently: "Is there anything wrong? It's okay to hurry up, Wanbao does not welcome his idlers!"

“Why are you so ruthless in your words? After all, I am also an investor in the “Journey to the West 3D” project. Why don’t you come and learn about the progress of the project?”

 Journey to the West 3D?

As soon as he heard this, Gu Miao was stunned.

 Even he didn’t know about the big move Ma Kui was making. He thought it was Mr. Bear who was instigating it behind the scenes. But according to what he said, Mr. Bear was not involved?

"you do not know?"

 “What do I know?” Little Bear always wonders.

 “That’s strange…”

Gu Miao frowned and instantly became extremely curious about what Ma Kui was doing secretly.

 He ​​doesn’t know, and Mr. Bear doesn’t know either, what secrets are hidden by the production team of “Journey to the West 3D”? What is Ma Kui doing secretly again?

 “Let’s go and have a look.”

Just do it as soon as he thinks of it. Out of curiosity, Gu Miao decided to take Mr. Xiong to visit the production team of "Journey to the West 3D" to see what kind of medicine was sold in Ma Kui Gourd.

Little Bear is always curious when he hears it.

 Even Gu Miao doesn’t know what the production team of “Journey to the West 3D” is doing?

 Oooh! The confidentiality work is so good that even their own bosses hide it. They are not secretly developing photolithography machines or controllable nuclear fusion, right?
