#357 - Hu Tu praised Mr. Lu in an interview, and received positive reviews from the producer of Resi
Everyone quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
Hu Tu:
"Look, everyone, President Lu was such a successful entrepreneur before, yet he still decided to acquire our company. Don't you wonder why?"
The surrounding employees said in confusion:
"Isn't it because Director Xia spread the word that she wanted to acquire companies that were just slacking off, and our company happened to fit the bill?"
Hu Tu shook his head:
"How could it be that simple? I carefully checked Miss Xia Shangyu's background. Do you know who she used to work for? Liu Lan of the Liu Group! So, such a shrewd headhunter, her words are definitely not what they seem on the surface."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Not long ago, Hu Tu was still celebrating at the company dinner, rejoicing that he had finally found a 'sugar daddy' like President Lu who would let everyone coast along and do nothing. He never expected that now, Hu Tu's tune would change completely by 180 degrees.
Hu Tu suppressed his excited mood:
"I didn't understand this at first either, but because of the recent hot sales of our products, I saw some players' comments online and gradually understood President Lu's good intentions.
Simply put, President Lu is very optimistic about our team!
Therefore, President Lu wants to use the 'Final Frontline' project to reignite everyone's initial passion!"
Hu Tu became more and more excited as he spoke, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
"Think about it, everyone, our previous products were ridiculed all the way.
Ridiculed by the industry, ridiculed by users, ridiculed by the investment community, and even made the news and were ridiculed by everyone...
But President Lu was not at all affected by these noises. He keenly discovered the shining points of our products and even incorporated them into the game, making them the core gameplay of the game.
What does this mean?
This shows that President Lu has a keen eye for talent and saw our potential at a glance, so he turned a blind eye to our previous slacking behavior.
We, the 'thousand-mile horses' who are determined to change the toy industry, have finally found our Bole!"
Hearing such impassioned explanations, the employees gradually became teary-eyed and wept with joy!
In recent days, they considered it the most magical moment of their careers. They dreamed of making their produced toys popular, and now this dream has come true!
At first, they attributed these to factors such as "luck" or "miracles", but after Hu Tu's little guidance, they realized how superficial they were!
Yes, everything was arranged by President Lu!
Many employees hugged each other and cried happily.
After so many years, finally, someone can understand their products!
That's right, they were once a group of idealists.
They once vowed to change the toy industry one day and reshape the childhood of children all over the world!
But reality can always easily crush people. Later, they just wanted to clear their inventory and settle their owed wages.
Their slacking and complacency were just the last cry they made to the world!
Now, meeting a benefactor like President Lu, the fire in their hearts was completely ignited again!
Hu Tu's beard trembled slightly with excitement:
"Since President Lu is so optimistic about us, if we still slack off and be lazy like before, will we be worthy of President Lu's trust? Will we be worthy of President Lu's investment?
I now officially announce that Little Hutu Immortal is back! We will let the entire Hua country's toy industry see our momentum!"
The employees under the stage were excited and raised their arms and shouted:
"Roll over the competitors, target number one!"
"Roll over the competitors, target number one!"
"Roll over the competitors, target number one!"
......
Not long after, "Hua Country Business Weekly" exclusively published a news interview with Little Hutu Immortal Company.
At the beginning of this interview, the editor wrote:
"Do you still remember the various water guns and BB guns you played with when you were young?"
"Xingjia City Little Hutu Immortal Toy Factory may be the childhood memory of many people born in the 80s and 90s."
"However, after entering the new century, this long-established toy factory has been in a state of long-term losses, and investors have changed hands several times."
"Unexpectedly, this year, this company not only took advantage of the popularity of a game to successfully turn losses into profits, but even the old products have become hot commodities in the secondary market, becoming objects of collection for many players."
"Now, let us enter the corporate residence of Xingjia City and explore the wealth code of this company."
After that, several photos taken on the spot were posted on the page.
The decoration of Little Hutu Immortal Company is brand new, and the huge Peach Blossom Spring LOGO is in a prominent position in the factory building.
Inside the company, various facilities such as gyms, restaurants, entertainment rooms, convenience stores, and SPA massages are readily available. Even the reporter photographed employees taking cat naps and afternoon tea during work breaks.
During working hours, whether it is the design department or the employees on the production line, they are working enthusiastically with full energy on their faces.
The reporter wrote:
"I found a very counter-intuitive point here. As a manufacturing factory in a traditional industry, the employee benefits of Little Hutu Immortal Company are quite explosive, which can be compared to many large Internet companies."
"And the mental outlook of the employees is also very different from the workers in many assembly line factories I have visited before."
After that, enter the interview session.
Reporter: "Manager Hu, how is Little Hutu Immortal's performance recently?"
Hu Tu: "Our performance is all red, not only the sales of new products are far ahead, but also the inventory of old products that has been accumulated for many years has been cleared almost. Recently, our employees are working hard to ensure market supply, and everyone does not feel tired at all..."
Reporter: "To achieve such a miraculous and gorgeous reversal, you must have good management skills. Can you share it with us?"
Old man Hu Tu's white beard trembled:
"Good management skills my ass!... Cough, sorry.
I mean, I'm actually a dull and stupid entrepreneur. The reason why we can survive now is because we have met the greatest benefactor in our career - President Lu of Peach Blossom Spring!"
The reporter immediately became interested: "Oh? Tell me more?"
Hu Tu:
"President Lu's name must have been heard by many people in the game industry. He is regarded as the 'God of Business Management of the New Generation'.
But many of you must not know that President Lu is not only accomplished in the game field, but also a genius in cross-border management!
Let me put it this way, the traditional manufacturing industry has been facing transformation in recent years, and life has not been easy, and there are countless toy factories on the verge of bankruptcy.
President Lu picked us out of so many factories at once.
Not only are the benefits quite heaven-defying, but also, he saw the uniqueness of our products at a glance and directly turned the products into a part of the new flagship game. How much trust is this!"
After Hu Tu finished speaking, he couldn't help wiping the corners of his eyes.
The reporter was also touched and nodded:
"Indeed, if it were any prudent entrepreneur, they would not take this risk.
After all, the larger the game company, the more they care about the reputation of the flagship work. Betting the core experience of the new work on a toy factory on the verge of bankruptcy is a gamble in itself."
Hu Tu shook his head decisively:
"No, President Lu is not gambling. President Lu will not fight unprepared battles.
President Lu deliberately let us design products freely, in order not to interfere with our product culture.
And now, facts have proved that President Lu's strategy is very successful!"
The reporter timely flattered: "Being able to notice this shows that you are still as sharp as ever."
Hu Tu gave a guilty awkward laugh.
He thought to himself: Notice my ass!
He was already in a state of pre-retirement, thinking about slacking off and going home to enjoy his grandchildren every day.
The remarks just now were what he saw online that players of Peach Blossom Spring were imagining. He analyzed it,
And you know what, you really know what,
These players imagined it really makes sense!
So he took it out and used it on the spot.
After that, the reporter continued to interview the production line. She grabbed a worker who was working enthusiastically and asked:
"Why is your working state so good?"
The worker wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Because President Lu treats us like human beings!
This is both a 543 working system and a reduction in efficiency and an increase in costs. We eat well, play well, and get more money than other factories, and there are so many holidays...
Moreover, President Lu often sends people down to inspect, caring about our overtime and the implementation of the system, for fear that we are tired.
Oh yes, we also have to conduct the 'Leisurely Daily King' selection and the 'Werewolf Killing' referee meeting because of this.
I used to work on the assembly line in other factories. It's really not a place for people to stay. Every day is military management, and the team leader holds the chicken feathers as an arrow, yelling at us. Going to the toilet is also scolded for being lazy.
It's hard to get to the end of the year, and it's easy to be owed some hard-earned money, with no dignity at all.
Compared with the previous factories, this is simply a real Peach Blossom Spring!
I haven't read many books, and I can't say anything cultured. I understand one truth, give a peach and return a plum. Even if we do more, we are willing!
After all, we are also afraid of Peach Blossom Spring going bankrupt. I don't want to go back to the previous black factory even if I am beaten to death."
......
After this report was published, it soon aroused heated discussions on the Internet. Some players exclaimed:
"Is it President Lu of Peach Blossom Spring again? Is cross-border management also so awesome?"
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
"Of course, haven't you seen that the 'Cat's Tea' cat cafe is now operating prosperously and has almost become a check-in landmark."
"Their animation and live broadcast business are also very good. President Lu is already an all-rounder genius who has transcended the field."
"I'll go, as a fresh graduate this year, I really envy this working environment. I didn't dare to submit my resume to Peach Blossom Spring before. I thought the threshold for game development was high and I would definitely have no chance.
But I didn't expect that I could live so decently and with dignity by screwing screws on the assembly line. I have to submit my resume to this factory!"
"Upstairs, you are right. I am also a fresh graduate. Now the Internet says that we are spoiled, have high aspirations and low abilities, and that we can't take off the long gowns, etc. These are all misinterpretations!
We just want a normal job that goes from 9 to 5, has regular holidays, compensates for overtime, and the boss treats us like human beings.
Why has this normal requirement become abnormal in the eyes of some experts?
If all factories are as good as Peach Blossom Spring, who wouldn't want to go?"
......
In the next few days, as the public opinion spread, the influence of "Final Frontline" began to spread overseas.
Japan's "FAMI Tong" gave the game 39 points and entered the Platinum Hall.
This is also the second Peach Blossom Spring game to enter the Platinum Hall after "My Wife is the Savior".
The American IGN gave the game a high score of 9.5 points.
With the publication of the reviews, the game became known to more overseas game producers.
Soon, Shinji Mikami, known as the father of the "Resident Evil" series, praised the game on Twitter:
"Recently, I was recommended by a friend to play a game from my Hua country counterparts."
"After playing it, my heart couldn't be calm for a long time. The development of the Hua country game industry is amazing!"
"Although it is also a post-apocalyptic survival horror game, the focus of "Final Frontline" is different from "Resident Evil". It does not focus on portraying monsters, but on portraying people."
"By the way, the random bullet gameplay is great. I have been reluctant to leave Tenshukaku several times, just to try out how many kinds of random bullets there are (laughs)."
"I heard that this interesting idea originated from the game producer's boss acquiring a toy factory that was about to go bankrupt. This experience is really amazing."
"If I have the opportunity, I really hope to get to know the game production team. They must be a group of interesting people!"
"PS: It's really not easy to buy the VR game console "Peach Blossom Spring Shenyou" in Japan. I hope Peach Blossom Spring Company can also consider the overseas market XD~"
Shinji Mikami's tweet was forwarded by many game V's.
More overseas FPS enthusiasts noticed this masterpiece from Hua country.
They released videos on youtube:
"Remember that incredibly realistic VR girlfriend? This company is here with a new work!"
"Absolutely shocking! The latest masterpiece from Hua country! Ultimate survival journey "Final Frontline" experience!"
"The last line of defense in the doomsday world! This game has broken my inherent perception of Hua country games!"
"Final Frontline Live Trial Reaction: See how many times I can be scared to cry"
In the comments section of various videos, game players from Japan exclaimed:
"This is clearly a story that happened in Japan, but we ourselves cannot produce such a shocking VR game. Shouldn't the Japanese game industry reflect on this?"
"Yes, the whole world is striding into the VR era, but domestic Japanese hardware manufacturers are still clinging to outdated inherent thinking and using old graphics chips for seven years in a row, which is really embarrassing."
"The Japanese industry is finished, and it has been surpassed by Hua country's father in various aspects."
Below, Korean players ridiculed:
"Even your characters originated in Hua country. Isn't it normal for students to be surpassed by their teachers?"
A Japanese player replied: "Shut up, at least we have decent masterpieces, unlike you guys who only make grind-heavy kimchi games. You're the ones who should stop stealing from China and learn properly. After all, China is your real suzerain."
Amidst the squabbling between Japanese and Korean players, one player commented seriously:
"I think we should invite Paradise Company to participate in this year's Tokyo Game Show in September. I'm especially looking forward to seeing their new game works at the exhibition."
The Tokyo Game Show, along with the American E3 Expo and the German Gamescom, is known as one of the world's three major game shows.
If domestic games want to go overseas, then this exhibition is a good publicity window.
Soon, more and more players were @ing the Tokyo Game Show organizing committee on Twitter.
Paradise Company has continuously produced several phenomenal best-selling VR games within a year and has become one of the Big Three game console manufacturers in China, so the organizing committee has naturally taken notice.
Soon, the organizing committee responded:
"We will sincerely invite Paradise Company to participate in the exhibition."
In addition, 'Final Line' is also becoming a hit overseas in many other forms.
Bootleg game discs of 'Final Line' and bootleg game consoles from Paradise Wander became hot commodities in various underground trading markets. Many foreign merchants smuggled the game discs into customs hidden in their clothes in order to make money, resulting in arrests.
The game's peripheral products sold out instantly on online shopping platforms such as Amazon.
In used goods stores in Tokyo's Shibuya and Akihabara districts, T-shirts and zombie girl figurines from 'Final Line' that were imported from China were being sold for tens of thousands of yen.
In addition, many foreign players on external websites are frantically studying raw Chinese text in order to successfully complete the game.
Even, the number of views for Chinese tutorial videos on YouTube has begun to skyrocket!
Foreign players who really couldn't understand the raw text registered accounts on Weibo and ran to Paradise Company's posts to launch petitions:
"We need English please!"
