You said you would make games by yourself, but how did you become the richest man by doing nothing?

Following closely, Gong Qijun led Lu Yu to the third floor.

The shelves in the conference room were filled with various comics, art books, and novels, while the table was piled high with famous cartoon character toys and various bags of chips and snacks.

The door was ajar, and it seemed like a meeting was in progress inside. From time to time, there were giggles from girls, suggesting the meeting was not too formal.

Next to the conference room, Lu Yu saw the recording studio and the photography studio.

The recording studio displayed some old recording equipment and debuggers that looked a bit dated.

Gong Qijun explained, "Hiring professional recording outsourcing is too expensive, so we got some second-hand recording equipment and cobbled together recordings in the company."

Lu Yu was more interested in the photography studio next door.

Inside, there were green screens, fill lights, photography lights, and various cameras and lenses, quite a variety.

"We will occasionally invite some cosplayers to this photography studio to take some photos or videos to facilitate our material collection."

Lu Yu laughed, "I thought you could just use mannequin leg models. I didn't expect you to invite real people for material collection."

"It's different." Gong Qijun adjusted his glasses, his voice revealing a professional air.

"The mannequins on the second floor mainly study the material and color changes of stockings.

But if you want to study dynamic composition and character movements, you need real people for reference."

"What we have here is already considered rudimentary. More professional animation companies abroad have motion capture studios."

On the wall of the photography studio hung photos of cosplayers who had visited before. Lu Yu looked around and asked curiously:

"Why is it that no matter what style of cosplay it is, the models are all wearing white stockings?"

Gong Qijun's glasses reflected the light, and his face was solemn:

"Because, Mr. Lu, don't you think the way light hits the fleshy soles of feet wearing white stockings, that thin sense of translucence, is really wonderful? The sweetest ice cream in the world is nothing compared to that.

General MacArthur once said that without white stockings, all lolis in the world would be overshadowed!

Cough, just kidding with you."

Lu Yu nodded.

Being able to say such embarrassing words in a serious manner, it's no wonder this company communicates with clients in that style.

After the tour, Lu Yu returned downstairs.

He didn't start talking about animation outsourcing but pondered carefully for a while and joked:

"Although the studio looks like it's not making ends meet, you guys seem to have a pretty good mental outlook."

Gong Qijun smiled wryly: "There's no way around it. This is how the industry and market are. What can we do? We can only try to find joy in suffering."

He looked back at his partners who were still struggling in the office building.

"Over the years, I've run around begging many people to pull in investment, and I finally found a big sucker... oh no, an investor who was willing to invest in the company.

But because the studio has been losing money for years, this investor is also about to give up on us.

Actually, the reason why I insist on running this mess is because I can't bear to part with these young employees.

They are a group of people with dreams, who don't follow the crowd, reject the chaos of the animation industry, and refuse to blindly follow the trend of making CG animations for national war games.

So, Mr. Lu, your outsourcing cooperation might really save our company and the dreams of these kids."

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No, I've decided not to engage in outsourcing cooperation with you."

Gong Qijun's body trembled, his eyes dimmed, and he smiled wryly: "Sure enough, you don't believe in our dreams either."

"I've decided to fully acquire Black Horse Animation."

"??????"

Gong Qijun's eyes lit up instantly, and his mouth opened as if he could swallow a goose egg.

"Is this, is this real, really?" His throat was hoarse, his voice stuttering with a hint of trembling.

Good heavens, just as the company was about to go bankrupt and liquidate, a big moneybags wanted to take over completely.

This is simply a dream!

"Really."

Lu Yu smiled and nodded.

Actually, during the tour just now, he had been thinking about the possibility of acquiring Black Horse Animation.

There are several benefits to acquiring now.

The first is that, according to his observation, these employees all have the potential to generate a lot of points.

The reason why he was unwilling to easily expand the company's scale before was because he was worried that doing so would recruit involution kings.

But Black Horse Animation, in this world of rampant involution, is a rare and precious species. From management to employees, it can basically be said that it has nothing to do with the word 'involution'. He doesn't want to miss it.

What's more, these employees are currently living in difficult conditions. If they could enjoy the benefits of a paradise even a little, wouldn't that be an awesome critical hit?

Second, their animation style is indeed in line with Lu Yu's tastes and XP, and it is also easy to please the users of Paradise.

Third, now is the time when Black Horse Animation is down and out, and it is also the time when investors are eager to sell. Acquiring now can be bought at a relatively affordable price.

After that, Lu Yu called Cao, the general manager of Brilliant Investment Company, the previous shareholder of Black Horse Animation.

As soon as the call was connected, before Lu Yu could speak, the other party began to say:

"Hello? Is this another one asking for investment? How many times have I told you, my investment quota for this year has been used up half a year in advance. No investment, no investment, go find another company?"

Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Hehe, it seems that General Cao's Brilliant Fund is very popular. I wonder if I can take up your precious time to talk to you about Black Horse Animation?"

Hearing Lu Yu's voice was steady, and he looked like someone who does big things, the other party's momentum suddenly weakened a bit:

"Why are you talking about Black Horse? Are you a reporter from the Industrial News?"

"My surname is Lu. I want to buy Black Horse Animation from you."

Seeing that someone wanted to take over the burden in his hands, the other party's tone instantly turned into a little sheep:

"Oh, Mr. Lu, please forgive me. I thought you were an entrepreneur asking for investment.

I admit that my voice was a little loud just now. You are a generous person, don't be so serious with me."

His words were full of probing: "Do you really want to fully acquire Black Horse Animation?"

"Really, no joke."

General Cao continued to say:

"To avoid future commercial disputes between us, I have to make it clear to you.

This animation company has become a negative asset of our fund. It has to draw a lot of blood from the parent company every year. We originally planned to liquidate it this year. Moreover, this company currently has no well-known IP copyrights in its hands."

General Cao's meaning is very clear. Black Horse Animation is almost like an empty shell in name only. Don't go to him if you lose money in the future.

"I know this. I will bear the subsequent operating risks. General Cao can just name the price."

"To be honest, I spent 6 million to buy Black Horse Animation. If Mr. Lu really wants it, I won't earn a penny and sell it to you at cost."

"Okay, 6 million, deal!"

"Mr. Lu is so straightforward!"

The newest novel is first published at six nine book bar!

Cao on the other end of the phone was overjoyed. He was finally able to get rid of this hot potato. Finally, someone was willing to take over these smart people with high aspirations!

……

On Wednesday, Lu Yu and General Cao completed the acquisition procedures.

After the acquisition, Lu Yu walked around the animation studio and decided to continue using the original office building of Black Horse Animation.

However, the company name has been changed. The full name of the studio is now:

"Jianghai City Paradise Dream Animation Production Co., Ltd."

As the first wholly-owned subsidiary of Paradise Group, Paradise Dream also has its own exclusive LOGO.

Not long ago, Lu Yu had found a design company to design a version of the Paradise LOGO:

The main body of the LOGO is a peach forest and peach village full of landscape painting style, with reflections in the pond below and a starry sky dotted on the sky.

And from a distance, these elements constitute the outline of a game controller.

And Paradise Dream is still this design, but the outline of the handle has become a drawing board.

After the acquisition, the benefits of Paradise Dream will naturally be fully upgraded.

First of all, all the work equipment has been replaced with new ones. Not only are the computers, dual-screen monitors, game consoles, and massage chairs configured exactly the same as the equipment of the head office,

Moreover, Lu Yu specially purchased the highest-end Wacom dual-screen hand-painted digital tablet for the animation team.

Secondly, the company has been revamped and the environment has been decorated more warmly.

All internal furniture and decorations have been replaced with new ones. The vacant rooms have been converted into gyms, the conference rooms have been equipped with Sony LCDs, and the toy cabinets, bathrooms, portable retractable beds, etc. that the head office has are all here.

The convenience store and bookstore with a monthly consumption quota of 5,000 are also equipped simultaneously.

Considering that this is an animation company, Lu Yu specially instructed the bookstore's supplier to focus on purchasing various art books.

As for eating, the rooms in this building of Black Horse Animation are limited and a kitchen cannot be newly installed.

Moreover, Fan Jing is also unable to do everything at once.

So Lu Yu simply decided to find a delivery company to be responsible for delivering meals from the head office.

Every day, the employees of the animation company can directly see the menu of the head office restaurant on their mobile phones. They can place orders on their mobile phones, and then the delivery company will use insulated lunch boxes to deliver the ordered dishes directly here.

Anyway, the head office is only about 10 minutes away by car, and employees can eat fresh meals.

Moreover, employees of Paradise Dream can also go to the headquarters building during breaks to enjoy the underground hot springs. Anyway, the hot spring hall is large enough, and the people at the headquarters usually can't use it all.

After maximizing the hardware benefits, Lu Yu started the full salary increase for the branch.

Li Hongmei and all employees talked about their salaries one by one, basically guaranteeing that they would far exceed the industry average.

This is not important, when the new employees heard about the 543 work system and the reduction of efficiency and increase of costs, they were directly stunned!

Good heavens, is this really not a dream?

It cost Lu Yu 4 million to set up this welfare configuration for Paradise Dream.

In addition to the 6 million to acquire the animation company, he invested more than 10 million in the animation business in one go.

But Lu Yu felt that this money was worth it!

Because, Lu Yu opened the system light screen and saw their crazy burst of points:

[Employee Gong Qijun is happy about the company's facility upgrades, a critical hit occurs, Leisure Points +2.5]

[Employee Xin Haicheng is happy about the work meal, a critical hit occurs, Leisure Points +2.3]

[Employee An Xiuming is happy about the bookstore, a critical hit occurs, Leisure Points +2.6]

[Employee You Keyang is happy about the gym, a critical hit occurs, Leisure Points +2.7]

[Employee Ya Jingshou is happy about the drawing equipment, a critical hit occurs, Leisure Points +2.6]

……

[20 employees of Paradise Dream are shocked and happy about the company's benefits, a resonance linkage occurs, Leisure Points +60]

Very good, with the addition of these 20 new employees, now as long as the employees attend work normally every day, they can stably bring Lu Yu at least 130 points of income.

……

On Thursday, the employees of Paradise Dream came to the head office to visit.

They were admiring the luxury of the head office's villa, but as soon as they entered the front door of the company, they couldn't move.

Because the LSP saw the Tangtang sisters.
