The Rise of Otaku - Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Franchising

Unfortunately, sometimes children were simply too honest. Zhou Yu only said that they shouldn’t kill Yuanyuan first or keep shooting at her. After all, her skill was only average among children. However, Zhou Yu didn’t expect that they would let Yuanyuan drive the tank all the way into the blue party’s stronghold and kill all the players that were guarding the stronghold single-handedly. It was too obvious that people were going easy on her. Fortunately, Zhou Yu sniped Yuanyuan’s tank in time. Only after that did the kids feel less restrained.

Probably because there were too many onlookers, the children were a little nervous, so mistakes that should not appear slowly appeared. For example, some tanks were moving too fast while making a turn, so it caused the tanks to overturn. Some players even forgot to shoot the cannon, and they simply just collided with each other.

With this kind of chaotic situation, it would be already good enough if they didn’t hit their own teammates, let alone remembering the tactics. Live-action tanks also count friendly-fire damage. If players were not careful, they might destroy their own teammates’ tanks. Then it would be very awkward.

Although it was a failure as an exhibition game, and it gave people the feeling that a group of rookies was fighting with each other, it still attracted the audiences’ hearts with such a high degree of realism. Especially those summer camp students, they couldn’t wait to snatch the remote controls from the children’s hands and enjoy the game themselves.

In the live streaming channel, looking at this kind of realistic sandbox game, many viewers were amazed by Zhou Yu’s imagination and ability again. It was just that they didn’t know how much money it would cost to play this game. In addition to the amusement park, would they set up such a military hall in other places as well? After all, some netizens lived too far away from the amusement park, and it was too expensive to go there just to play this game.

Unfortunately, after the exhibition match ended, Zhou Fu accepted the media interview and gave the answer to this question.

“At present, only Little Paradise Amusement Park has the Live-action tank technology, and we have no intention to establish a military hall in other places. Like the previous Duelist Hall, it is an amusement ride that exclusively belongs to this amusement park.”

When saying this, Zhou Fu’s heart was bleeding. It is such a good project, if it can be promoted, it will make a fortune just by selling the remote control tanks.

The subsequent development confirmed Zhou Fu’s prediction. Cooperation requests from all over the country almost filled the office mailbox. Just like the live-action CS games and paintball games were blooming everywhere, the future of the live-action tank was also very promising, and those who had money all wanted to join in.

However, it was a pity that the amusement park’s answer was “no” no matter who came to talk about it or how high the bid was. The reason was the same as the previous Virtual Cards. The technology provider behind Zhou Yu did not want to promote these expensive toys outside of the amusement park.

Speaking of Virtual cards, it was also something that made countless businessmen mouth water. The Duelist Hall was still very popular even until now. Although very few people were lucky enough to be eligible for the battle in the duelist hall, there was an endless stream of people who went to the card hall to see the futuristic holographic cards every day.

It was understandable that the park wanted to keep the virtual card technology. After all, it was indeed too futuristic, and no one has been able to copy it yet, but remote control tanks shouldn’t be a difficult technology, right? Why didn’t the amusement park cherish this business opportunity? Could it be that they wanted to monopolize the market? It can’t be, because the amusement park has never had an intention to expand outside Luhua village. Then why did they want to keep it? If they didn’t take this opportunity to make some profit, and if someone was able to copy the technology in the future, it would be a big loss for them.

Zhou Fu also advised Zhou Yu in the same way. However, for such things as selling the technology out, he must first understand the technology. If there weren’t electrical components provided by an electrical appliance factory, how could he, who used to be a liberal arts student, build a remotely controlled tank? So, they couldn’t sell it. Anyway, as long as there was one in the amusement park, Zhou Yu was happy about it. Isn’t it a sense of accomplishment to create a unique amusement park with more rides that people can’t see elsewhere?

“But the technology of remotely controlled tanks shouldn’t be too difficult. If someone is willing to spend money on research, there will be a copycat version in two or three years. What will happen then?”

Zhou Fu was still a bit reluctant to give up, after all, it was such a good opportunity for them. Later on, they would also need to spend great efforts to engage in the “The War Of Soybean Pudding” linkage event with Otaku Gaming portal, so that the game of live-action tank game would be more widely known, but if the copycat version comes out, it would simply become a free promotion for those people.

“If they want to copy, then just let them copy. Maybe I will make other toys at that time. I mean Uncle Fu, you don’t want to open many amusement parks around the country, do you? So why do you spend so much effort on it?”

Zhou Yu didn’t have that kind of plan at all. To be honest, the scale of the amusement park now was already beyond his expectations. In the beginning, the amusement park was set up not only to accommodate many things that could no longer be put in his yard, but also to have fresh and interesting amusement rides that he could play without going out. Unexpectedly, the rural amusement park has already expanded to its current scale.

In fact, Zhou Fu also did not expect that it would become like this. In the beginning, he really thought that it would just be a regular rural amusement park. However, as Zhou Yu transformed the park bit by bit slowly, the current amusement park didn’t look like a rural amusement park at all. All the visitors to the park were here for anime, games, and comics.

Ambition is something that is grown without people noticing it. If Zhou Fu just wanted to build a rural amusement park to give Luhua Village a different development direction previously, now Zhou Fu did have the idea of making the amusement park bigger and bigger and even becoming the best park in china.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but sigh that he would never be able to understand the societal people.

Uncle Fu’s ambition and Zhou Yu’s desirelessness neutralized each other, forming a perfect match.

“Someone indeed told me that they wanted to build an amusement park under the name of Little Paradise, just like a franchise, so they can also have new amusement projects from our side.”

This kind of joining was extremely beneficial to the development of the amusement park. Anyway, it was impossible for Little Paradise to accept all the visitors from the whole country. If it could expand reasonably, tourists could also choose to go to the park that was near them, it would be a win-win thing.

However, things were definitely not that simple.

It is true that the projects in Little Paradise are all based on those animation and games made by Zhou Yu, which is like Disney, and brand authorization is also very reasonable. However, unlike Disney, Zhou Yu has only been known to the public for a few years. So there was no brand effect.

Moreover, after joining them, what should he do if those people also wanted the Duelist Hall or Tank Military Hall? Those things could not appear outside Luhua village.

For this reason, Zhou Yu had to tell Zhou Fu very sternly: “It’s okay for them to join us. After they get the right to use the brand, they can copy our amusement projects, but the technology in the amusement park will definitely not be given to them. Uncle Fu, you know that these things are not mine, and if you offend them, they can take them away at any time. ”

Zhou Yu had only this one condition, and it was not negotiable. Although Zhou Fu didn’t know why the technical team behind Zhou Yu was so weird, he could only nod and agree that this point would become a non-negotiable clause in the discussions with potential partners.

Without these novel technologies, the charm of Little Paradise would be reduced by at least half. If there were people who were still willing to join, then there was really a problem with their heads.

But what Zhou Yu didn’t expect was that there were really such people.
