Chapter 267: 265: A Real-Life Version of Fall Guys?

That would consume too much energy and doesn’t seem necessary.

So, how can he make the amusement park more popular while consuming minimal energy?

After a brief thought, Lincoln came up with an idea: it’s time to use his “Money Ability”!

There’s an obvious place to use it Buy IPs!

All kinds of well-known and popular entertainment characters, be it from movies, TV series, animations, comics, or even novel characters, can all be purchased!

If they only focus on richer amusement facilities and expanding the park, it would only transform from a “park amusement park” into a “large-scale amusement park”.

But to become a truly top-level and unparalleled amusement park, they cannot ignore IP operations.

One certain copyright maniac in his previous life, jokingly said to have the strongest legal department in the western hemisphere, was a standout in this area.

For Lincoln, this plan is undoubtedly the easiest one to implement.

Simply copy the current Metropolis amusement park and scale it up a little, and the main body of the new game is complete.

Then splash out money to buy all the available IPS in this world, with a good reputation and reasonable price, whether they are movies, animations, comics, cartoons, or toys, and then stuff them all into the amusement park.

Create some custom shows, replicate some scenes, and it’s done!

When the employees become available later, they can continue to develop simulation management and customizable roller coaster content and release it as DLC.

The plan is perfect!

Easy and profitable!

The only problem is, Lincoln feels a bit guilty in his conscience.

He has an illusion of deceiving players with an empty-shell game…

Previously, using the half-finished Metropolis as a reward was because it was just a bonus and as a part of the virtual world, its importance was undeniable.

But doing the same for the new game without the most critical “participation and interaction” feels insincere and like betraying the trust of the players.

No, they must add some playability to the game!

Lincoln started to rack his brains, and Mavis nervously stayed by his side, waiting for him to come up with ideas and tell her what to do.

At a certain moment, Lincoln suddenly thought of a popular summer water obstacle course TV show — “Boys and Girls Rush Forward”

The show achieved long-lasting popularity and was still thriving even when other TV shows were declining.

And there was never a shortage of contestants signing up to participate. Many video uploaders would also join when they had nothing else to do, and they would even fly in at their own expense to participate.

In the virtual world, there’s no fear of getting hurt, so they can add more variety and excitement to the competition tracks!

They could even make it an open race track, allowing all players to join at the same time and compete against each other. Surely, this would be super popular?

“Boys and Girls Rush Forward – Multiplayer – Exhilarating Competition

Venue”!

Wait –

At this thought, Lincoln suddenly had a sense of déjå vu: it felt like he had played a multiplayer racing game just like this before?

After racking his brain for a long time, with Mavis secretly stimulating his thinking, he finally remembered: this is the real-life version of Fall Guys!

So, the final question: can he do it?

The answer is clear: he absolutely can!

However, before starting the game with Mavis, he needs to contact Jerome about purchasing IPs, which needs to be done simultaneously.

Nowadays, Daxia and even mainstream countries around the world are vigorously supporting the third industry, and various entertainment industries are booming. Buying IPS is definitely a no-loss move.

Just do it!

But just as he was about to call Jerome, Jerome called him first. After asking about Lincoln’s whereabouts in the virtual world, Jerome hurriedly logged into the virtual office to meet with Lincoln, who had just said goodbye to Mavis.

Jerome held a stack of information in his hand and excitedly told Lincoln: the brand exposure of Qingjin during the Freedom Day competition has yielded great results.

In the past two days, Qingjin’s popularity on the Internet has skyrocketed, and their marketing department is very optimistic about the expected increase in sales.

Before the potential of this publicity campaign is fully unleashed, many brands have already taken the initiative to seek cooperation with Cloud Dream.

These include four clothing brands, two trendy shoes, three sports drinks, two bottles of Baijiu, and one cocktail.

Jerome excitedly said: “There will only be more brands waiting! But time is on our side! With the increase in game sales, and the release of new games, player numbers will only grow, allowing us to raise the level of cooperation offers even higher!”

“Yes, very good, ” Lincoln nodded approvingly, “You’ve done well.”

However, Lincoln’s praise was purely to encourage Jerome and acknowledge his achievements.

Actually, Lincoln wasn’t very interested in making money through advertising, it was more of “collaborate if it is not too much trouble when someone approaches.”

It didn’t matter if there were no advertisers, he didn’t rely on that to make money anyway.

Once Jerome finished talking, Lincoln felt he had praised him enough and asked about what he was really interested in: “Has there been any progress in getting a big celebrity with a good reputation to hold a concert in the virtual world?”

Speaking of this, Jerome felt a little awkward, “Not very smooth.”

“What’s the problem?”

“Our initial goal was to cooperate with top-tier celebrities from older generations, but the agents of these people either look down on us or are too conservative in their approach to new things like virtual concerts.”

“Is offering more money not an option?” Lincoln thought about Money Ability immediately.

“No,” Jerome shook his head. “The top-level King & Queen celebrities are all not lacking money. What’s even more difficult is that we don’t know if it’s their decision or their agents are too strict, we can’t even get in touch with these King or Queen celebrities. The agents only see our traffic and keep recommending traffic celebrities.”

“If directly holding a concert is not possible, how about purchasing the video rights of past concerts?” Lincoln suggested as a fallback option.

“This isn’t a problem, there are already existing examples.” Jerome felt slightly relieved; at least not everything had fallen apart. “However, since we will be using it in the all-new media of virtual reality, the asking price is relatively high.”

“Money is a small issue,” Lincoln waved his hand, unconcerned.

“Don’t let this matter slip, but put less effort into it. Find an employee to maintain follow-up communications instead. A live concert is still much better than a copy of a video recording.”

“Understood,” Jerome nodded.

“Regarding brand cooperation, train an assistant to take over as soon as possible. More important tasks will be assigned to you.”

Upon hearing this, Jerome’s heart tensed up, and he sighed that this job was really difficult.

Jerome was not an idealist and didn’t have any ambitions. He was a straightforward worker.

At first, he was attracted by Cloud Dream’s relaxed working atmosphere and industry-leading salaries.

However, he slowly felt the work was much more complicated than he had expected…

Now that he finally made some progress and before he could even enjoy the triumph, he was already given new tasks. This created immense pressure on him.

But considering the generous salary provided by Cloud Dream, what choice did he, a worker who just wanted to make money, have?

He could only nod seriously and say, “Please tell me.”

primarily two tasks. First, take some people with you to acquire well-known high-quality IPs, especially those that children like and are suitable for the amusement park. IPS from movies, animations, books, or comics are all welcome!”

Jerome breathed a small sigh of relief, thinking that this task wasn’t too difficult, “How many should I buy?”

Lincoln looked at Jerome seriously: “Buy as many as there are! No limits, whether domestic or international, any popular characters are welcome!” Jerome’s mouth gaped open, thinking: I knew it wouldn’t be so simple!

What does “buy as many as there are” even mean?! Boss, do you really know how outrageous this statement is?!

“Quickly expand your department. If necessary, set up a dedicated group responsible for purchasing IPs.”

Lincoln encouraged Jerome, “In the beginning, you can borrow some people from Samuel’s group. Later on, Samuel’s team will also need to set up a group to operate these IPs. I suppose you might as well get familiar with them now.”

Seeing that his boss had made up his mind and after realizing how much money his boss had, Jerome resigned himself to do as instructed. “Understood, I will immediately increase the number of employees in the department.”

“That’s right, it’s very necessary.” Lincoln handed Jerome a stack of information – the data of Izumo and Baekje companies that Mavis had shown him.

“The second task is for you to take this seriously. Get in touch with these companies, learn about their situation, and probe their intentions. However, don’t make commitments rashly. Compare and study them carefully. We’ll only choose one company in each country to cooperate with, so we have to be cautious.”

Jerome looked at the information in his hand, unable to resist grumbling in his heart: Good lord! One trip has two tasks at once, negotiating cooperation while buying IPs. It’s tough!

Lincoln added, “Going abroad is a hard task, so the staff shouldn’t be treated poorly. Business travel expenses will be at the highest level. During the trip, everyone will receive five times their usual salary. Once the cooperation is finalized, bonuses will be given to everyone.”

Jerome immediately submitted: “Boss is wise!”

One trip can advance two tasks at the same time. What a reasonable arrangement!

The boss has such a grand vision!
