Chapter 141 - Extra: Feiyu Amusement Park (Beginning)

“Yo, Lao Wei. Here so early?” Excellent Jade Corporation’s CEO, Yang Xin, walked over to shake hands with Wei Xiao while wearing a big smile on his face.
“Because the child was excited, you know?” Wei Xiao cheerily greeted Yang Xin. “You guys promoted your amusement park so much. Momo almost couldn’t fall asleep last night. She didn’t even need to be woken up this morning either. She got up by herself.”
“Haha, there’s no need for Momo to be so worried. You guys have VIP tickets, so it’s not like you’ll need to wait in line.” Yang Xin grinned while looking at the little girl next to Wei Xiao.
By now, Wei Mo was already almost eight years old. She had grown quite a bit and looked very vibrant and extraverted, completely unlike how she had seemed in her childhood. Gone was the gloomy little girl with an eerie air surrounding her because she had been entangled with an Underworld creature for a long time. Upon noticing that Yang Xin was looking at her, she smiled sweetly and obediently said, “Thank you Uncle Yang.”
Wei Xiao had brought his wife and daughter along this time. His wife also knew Yang Xin. Upon seeing this, she laughed and said, “Lao Yang, you get to act cocky this time. I saw from articles online that the tickets for your amusement park have already been sold out for all of next month?”
Yang Xin burst into loud laughter. He didn’t try to act humble either. He nodded and said, “Presales have certainly been slightly better than predicted. This was truly a bit unexpected for me.”
Wei Xiao said with a smile, “Not for me. Luofeng’s Ghost City of Fengdu IP has already achieved success in several fields. The fans online have been anticipating this amusement park for a long time. Such a result is entirely reasonable.”
“That’s true too.” Yang Xin nodded, then patted Wei Xiao on the shoulder. “Thanks so much for the collaborative promotion with your game this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have achieved such great results.”
Today was the day of the opening celebration for the Chuandong location of Excellent Jade Corporation’s Feiyu Amusement Park.
As the biggest comprehensive amusement park in the country, Feiyu Amusement Park had always been the gold standard. A few years ago, Excellent Jade Corporation had bought a piece of land in Chuandong in preparation for building the third Feiyu Amusement Park. Additionally, this time, they weren’t only building a single park. Instead, they had started planning with the goal to become the nation’s top comprehensive entertainment base. Their standards during preparation had been on par with top tier international standards.
Because of this goal, Excellent Jade Corporation had imported several well established entertainment projects at the very beginning of planning. Among these was a western mythology IP that had great international fame. Originally, everything had been going smoothly. Unexpectedly, an internationally renowned amusement park had also chosen to enter Huaxia at this time. Their chosen address was very close to Feiyu Amusement Park, rendering them immediate competitors. That mythology IP’s owner went back on his word last minute and turned around to sign a contract with that international amusement park instead. This caused Excellent Jade Corporation to be in a really passive position.
Fortunately, Luofeng’s Ghost Festival Garden Party appeared out of the blue and garnered a lot of discussion online. Afterwards, an endless number of companies contacted Luofeng’s headquarters to try and gain rights to the garden festival IP. The《Dream Tour of Fengdu》game created in collaboration with Wei Xiao’s Double Horn Technology was part of these too. As of now,《Dream Tour of Fengdu》had already become the most famous domestically made game in the country. People said that it had taken over a majority of the entire gaming industry. Because of this game’s unprecedented success, the Ghost Festival Garden Party’s IP gained an official name too. These days, when people mentioned it, they would all call it the “Ghost City of Fengdu” IP.
At this time, Excellent Jade Corporation had also successfully gained the rights to the Ghost City of Fengdu IP to develop it into an amusement park collaboration. For a large-scale amusement park, several years were needed between obtaining the land and officially beginning construction. Especially for a comprehensive entertainment base like Feiyu Amusement Park. Over a dozen years were needed to be able to finish with the surroundings too.
However, this didn’t mean that the entire base needed to be completely constructed before it could officially open. Otherwise, the chain of funding wouldn’t be able to handle all the pressure. In its entirety, Feiyu Amusement Park had designed and planned for several phases of construction. The extremely anticipated Ghost City of Fengdu project had naturally been placed into the first round of construction.
Today was the first official grand opening day after phase one of construction on Feiyu Amusement Park. The success after phase one directly influenced the park’s future customer volume. To put things in a more extreme perspective, this could even affect the subsequent planning and construction of the entire entertainment base, thus also affecting the economic development of all of Chuandong and its neighboring provinces. Because of this, Excellent Jade Corporation placed a great emphasis on the amusement park.
After construction officially finished at the amusement park, Excellent Jade Corporation hired a professional planning team to film an impressive promotional video for the amusement park, especially the Ghost City of Fengdu. This video was broadcasted in all first, second, and third tier cities. Additionally, it had also been plastered over traditional paper media and online media. Combined with the original Luofeng Ghost Festival Garden Party hashtag, they started a practically virus-like style of promotion.
Because Double Horn Technology’s《Dream Tour of Fengdu》game had used Luofeng’s IP too, these two companies had also engaged in a collaborative promotional event in the game. It had to be said that their range of coverage was truly quite large.
Luofeng’s Ghost City of Fengdu IP had long since made its home in the hearts of many people. It had a large number of fans; Feiyu Amusement Park’s Ghost City project was even more anticipated because of this. People had been looking forward to it for a long time. This, in addition to the fact that the promotional pictures were extremely detailed and interesting, meant that the pictures could be seen any and everywhere. Moreover, they didn’t cause people to feel annoyed. This had very successfully resulted in the news of the amusement park’s imminent opening to be spread all around.
Feiyu Amusement Park had opened up ticket presales online. In only a few days, the number of people who had bought tickets had already surpassed all grand opening customer volume records for any amusement park in the country up to this point. The online presale tickets were completely sold out. This had even birthed an incredible amount of yellow cows. Feiyu Amusement Park was forced to temporarily pause their online ticket sales. Additionally, they increased the scale of their park’s operational management.
Wei Xiao and his wife made small talk with Yang Xin for a while. Then, they quickly bade each other farewell because of Wei Xiao’s daughter’s impatient urging. With a staff member as their guide, they entered the amusement park through the VIP passageway.
Not long after Wei Xiao’s family of three had departed, a worker quickly walked over to notify Yang Xin: “Boss Yang, Luofeng’s Boss Shang and Boss Yu are here.”
These were the owners of the Ghost City of Fengdu IP. They were also two of the stock owners of the Chuandong Feiyu Amusement Park. Yang Xin instantly went on high alert. He quickly walked over to greet them.
Yu Zhengdu looked a bit more mature and experienced than he had when he had first started working. He no longer looked so much like a fledgling. However, he still maintained his usual smile. He and Shang Que both needed to attend interviews today. Consequently, they were dressed rather formally. Perfectly tailored suits caused these two people, who were originally very eye catching, to look even better. Especially Shang Que, who was devastatingly handsome and aloof in a surreal way. As soon as they arrived, they rapidly garnered the majority of attention. Several reporters who had previously been filming and conducting interviews elsewhere felt very excited. If not for the fact that there were many security personnel here today to maintain order, they probably would’ve already surrounded them.
Yu Zhengdu shook hands with Yang Xin, then scanned their surroundings. He said with a smile, “Seems like everything is going very smoothly.”
“That’s true. In this regard, our experience is definitely top tier,” Yang Xin smiled back. He cocked an eyebrow at the two of them. “If there are no accidents, your company will very quickly be able to receive dividends.”
“Then our end of the year bonus is all up to you guys this year,” Yu Zhengdu joked.
Shang Que revealed a mysterious smile too. Though he hadn’t said anything, Yu Zhengdu successfully managed to read the message hidden in his smile: my days of freedom to spend money on games are just around the corner.
Just as they were speaking, the assistant next to Yang Xin’s expression suddenly darkened. He leaned in close to Yang Xin and lowered his voice to say, “Boss Yang, Joseph from the mythology team is here.”
Yang Xin looked up and saw a large, tall foreigner walking over while surrounded by a few others. This person was Joseph, the leader of the technology team of the western mythology IP – the one who had backed out last minute and signed the western mythology IP over to the international amusement park instead.
Joseph had been invested in the potential of Huaxia’s large market and had wanted to popularize the mythology IP in Huaxia for a long time. However, from the bottom of his heart, he looked down on the capabilities of domestic teams in Huaxia. After already coming to an agreement with Excellent Jade Corporation, he had still gone back on his word and signed the mythology IP to an international amusement park, completely betraying Excellent Jade Corporation.
Later on, Excellent Jade Corporation gained the Ghost City of Fengdu IP. At the time, this IP had only been a viral online concept. No one knew if it could be commercialized at all. Thus, Joseph hadn’t cared about it. Unexpectedly, everything had changed. As of now, the game《Dream Tour of Fengdu》and its related brands had been developed extremely successfully. The Ghost City of Fengdu IP had gained a large number of fans and become a truly popular IP.
More importantly, the Ghost City of Fengdu was based entirely on genuine Huaxia culture. Compared to western mythology, this was something easier for local tourists to identify with.
As expected, the two amusement parks had started phase one of construction at approximately the same time. However, their presales were vastly different. This was honestly because the competition between the two had been overly direct, rendering their fight for visitors to be linked: when one’s sales increased, the other’s decreased.
Feiyu Amusement Park had achieved massive success in regards to promotion. The international amusement park’s results naturally seemed dismal in comparison.
Prior to this, Feiyu Amusement Park had always been one step behind the international amusement park. As of now, the winner and loser were obvious. Feiyu Amusement Park had made a complete comeback. Yang Xin was in a great mood. Upon noticing that Joseph was approaching, he didn’t face the other with a foul expression, which was rare. He even took the initiative to walk closer and greet the other. “Joseph, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I could’ve given you a few free VIP tickets in advance.”
This was the winner’s attitude.
Joseph’s Chinese was pretty good. After hearing this, he awkwardly smiled. “You made such a big deal with your promotions, which made me extremely curious. So I’m here to take a look.”
“No problem. Look all you want,” Yang Xin chortled. “Don’t forget to check out our Ghost City of Fengdu project. It’s on that piece of land we were originally going to use to build your mythology IP. How fortunate that we didn’t collaborate with you guys back then. Otherwise, the ones incapable of selling any tickets now might be us.”
His obvious mocking caused Joseph’s expression to change. The other’s gaze uncontrollably filled with suspicion. “You guys did a great job with promotions……but can you really achieve such effects with the technology you have?”
“Then go personally take a look,” Yang Xin proudly said. “Mr. Joseph, we have all the technology you guys have. The difference is, aside from technology, we also have morals when it comes to business.”
Yang Xin’s disdain caused Joseph’s expression to turn extremely foul. However, he couldn’t find anything to refute with. After all, the fact that they had backed out last minute had already spread like fire in the industry. They were only still able to do whatever they wanted because of their unique designs and technology.
But if Feiyu Amusement Park could really achieve the effects in their promotional videos, then their designs and technology had already completely surpassed those of Joseph’s team. This was also why Joseph couldn’t sit still and had personally come to examine Feiyu Amusement Park today.
Yang Xin didn’t tell anyone to stop Joseph. Yet, Joseph strangely felt very humiliated. In embarrassment, he entered the amusement park with his posse.
Yu Zhengdu gazed at the backs of Joseph and his group. He asked Yang Xin, “This is that foreign technology team?”
Yang Xin nodded, then sighed. “In actuality, our current domestic technology is already rather mature. We’re only missing out on time, investments, and good IPs.”
These past few years, the technology of their country had actually been continuously improving. However, these things needed a lot of time and money. There were too few companies that were patient enough and willing to wait. Thus, what the general public ultimately saw were oftentimes things that were very crude in production.
Excellent Jade Corporation had great luck. They had just so happened to encounter a complete and well-developed IP like the Ghost City of Fengdu. And, Excellent Jade Corporation was willing to invest money and energy to perfect their product.
“We still need to have patience and sincerity when working,” Yu Zhengdu lamented.
“Or, you just need to have me,” Shang Que suddenly added from off to the side where he had been politely smiling a fake smile.
Yu Zhengdu: “……”
He actually had no rebuttal for that.
