My Animation Era

  Chapter 163 The distress of investment promotion (for subscription)

   "Why is it Louis again?"

  Ma Kui complained while knocking on the melon seeds: "The ending of the first part has this hair, and the ending of the second part also has this hair. Does it mean that the air ticket does not cost money? Why does he go to Jiangchuan every day to watch the game?"

   "Story arrangement, what do you know?"

   Glancing at Ma Kui who was spitting out melon seed husks everywhere, Gu Miao became angry and said, "Can you be more civilized? This is my office, not a teahouse, nor your living room!"

   "OK OK!"

  Seeing that Mr. Gu's face was getting darker and darker, Ma Kui put away the melon seeds in a sensible manner, and returned to seriousness: "That's right, Mr. Gu!"

   "How is the ratings of Thunderbolt 2?"

"Ratings…"

   Mentioning this, Gu Miao's expression suddenly felt awkward. He really didn't want to hit Teacher Huang Kun unless it was necessary.

  No way, it’s really spicy!

   It's understandable that they can't compete in "Dragon Fighter" and "Sailor Moon".

  But if you can’t beat the previous series, even the replay of the third round of "Three Kingdoms Academy", it can only mean...

  The ratings are really bad!

  It may be a bit too much to say this, after all, animations with an average rating of five and a maximum of six are considered outstanding in the industry.

  The reason why I feel bad is that Wanbao's environment is too special.

   "This is our Wanbao, the animation with the worst ratings so far, right?"

   Ma Kui fanned the flames wildly: "In my opinion, Huang Kun is a typical slow-moving character. Mr. Gu, I suggest kicking him out and replacing him with a better director."

  Kick Huang Kun?

  Then I might as well kick you first!

  Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "Stop sowing discord, if Huang Kun hears this, it will definitely not be good for you."

   "I'm telling the truth!"

   "If I were to make Lei Sudeng 2, I dare not say that the ratings would break ten, at least seven or eight would not be a problem." Ma Kui vowed.

  Why is this face so big?

  Gu Miao was very curious. Ma Kui was so ordinary, yet so confident. Could this be the legendary "Pu Xinnan"?

   Really lower your head!

   After teasing Huang Kun, he probably felt that teasing him was meaningless when the real master was not around. Ma Kui took the initiative to change the subject and said, "By the way, there is one more thing I need to report to you."

  【Wanbao · Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf】The construction of the IP theme amusement park is progressing smoothly, and the first phase of the project is almost completed.

  The two lines drawn by Gu Miao are used to build the cross streets of "Egawa Akihabara", and they have also been fully completed.

   It is only short of attracting investment.

  According to Gu Miao’s plan, one street is mainly engaged in animation products, and the other street is mainly engaged in animation/game products.

   What Ma Kui wants to say is exactly this.

  The road is connected, the water and electricity are connected, and the house is built. But no merchants are willing to settle in the "Manga Street" and "Animation Street", which embarrasses Wanbao.

   "Is there really no merchant?"

   "Yes, there are, but most of the merchants who intend to settle in are engaged in clothing, milk tea, catering and entertainment..."

  Ma Kui covered his face and said: "There is no business that has anything to do with the animation industry. It is useless for them to settle in."

   This is true.

  Gu Miao exhausted all her words and managed to get a policy from the leader, but it wasn't for the purpose of opening a milk tea shop, a foot-washing city, and a fast food restaurant.

  He wants to engage in ACG Holy Land!

  ACG Holy Land’s standard equipment, comic book store, model toy store, game hall, movie theater, theme cafe and electronic product store, none of these.

  I really vomit...

  Manga Street has no comics, and Animation Street has no animations. If you go to your sister's ACG holy place, why not change the name to "Bath and Massage Street".

   "Take me to see..."

  Gu Miao couldn't sit still anymore, and decided to go to the scene to see for herself what was going on in those two streets.

  The two soon came to the central area of ​​[Wanbao · Pleasant Goat Theme Park].

  The two streets are clean and tidy.

   It looks decent, but the problem is that these shops are basically locked, and no merchants have settled in.

   It's hard!

  Gu Miao doesn't think that there are no merchants willing to settle in these two streets because the flow of people is not enough.

  People traffic is not a problem.

  The park hasn’t been built yet, and the construction site is basically closed, so it’s normal not to see people on the street.

   But once the Pleasant Goat Paradise is completed and open for business, will there still be a shortage of tourists? These two streets located in the core area of ​​the park must be overcrowded.

   This point, smart people can see it.

  So the shops on these two streets basically don’t have to worry about renting, but anyone who Wanbao is willing to let go and open a shop here can form a long queue of ten miles.

  But the problem is...

  The shops on the two streets are under the jurisdiction of Wanbao, and many merchants are not very happy with Wanbao's request.

   "Let me open an anime-themed coffee shop? Can this thing make money from Foot Wash City? Can it make money from fast food restaurants and milk tea shops?"

   "What comic book store? Labor and management spend so much money to rent a shop, and you can sell whatever you like. Can you, a landlord, manage it?"

   "Open your sister's model toy store, and I'm going to open a supermarket, so I asked you if you want to rent it?"

   Merchants are dissatisfied.

  Wanbao was also very dissatisfied. The rent they set was already the lowest standard in Jiangchuan. They wanted to attract more merchants to settle in, but there were none.

  Then what should we do?

   Someone has to compromise!

  The problem now is that merchants are waiting and watching, not sure about the benefits of opening stores on these two streets, let alone the flow of people in 【Wanbao · Pleasant Goat Theme Park】.

  Wanbao has no choice but to move Lao Gu’s directly-operated stores around Wanbao here, and then open several self-operated stores.

  The so-called self-operated store is actually Gu Miao's idea.

   "There are no merchants willing to settle in, so we will set up a few stores by ourselves and create an atmosphere first."

  Gu Miao pondered: "The number of business people in Huihui Paradise has increased, and the merchants will definitely join in when they see the profit."

  Anyway, the shops on the two streets are all Wanbao’s own property, so they don’t need to pay rent, and it doesn’t cost much to open a few shops, so it’s a “demonstration” for everyone.

  Since it is a demonstration...

  Gu Miao thought about it, and finally decided on a few goals.

  A "maid cafe" is a must, a "comic and light novel bookstore" is also a must, a movie theater, a game hall, and a model toy store must also be available.

"right!"

  Gu Miao thought for a while and then added: "Food and beverage can open two stores, but not more! After all, it is a holy place for ACG, and it can't be a place for guests to overwhelm the host. It has become a holy place for gourmet food."

   With these, almost enough.

  The rest of the categories, or storefronts, just follow the fate. Gu Miao collects rent, so she can't hold all the profitable shops in her hands.

   After all, he opened all the shops that made a lot of money. Looking back at the merchants, they found that there was no money to be made, so who would rent shops?

   I wish everyone a happy Labor Day! I miss the previous May Day, when it was still a seven-day holiday...
