Chapter 142: Being Noticed

"Honestly speaking, I used to like Grand and Lu Yu a lot. Because of them, I had games to play. But now...... sorry, I don't like you guys anymore."

"Speaking broadly, Lu Yu, you are just embarrassing our Huaxia!"

"This is what it's like to become famous as a youth—always unaware of how vast the heavens and earth are."

"These remarks can run rampant online."

"Most netizens didn't respond, feeling these remarks were a bit too harsh."

"But...... hardly anyone objected!"

"What does this indicate?"

"It shows that although netizens find these remarks somewhat inappropriate, they...... are not unacceptable!"

"For a while, Lu Yu and Grand once again became the objects of everyone's dislike."

"......"

"Lu Yu naturally noticed these remarks online, and was left laughing and crying."

"Before, Lu Yu didn't respond, and netizens were criticizing him and Grand."

"Now Lu Yu has responded, and netizens are also criticizing."

"So, in this world, who can possibly be liked by everyone?"

"As for this, Lu Yu just smiled it off and didn't pay much attention."

"At this moment, Lu Yu was looking at the rules of the international game development competition."

"The competition will officially begin next week."

"Such a competition spans a long time, because developing a game—even a small one—cannot be finished on the spot."

"This actually comes down to accumulation."

"By the way, one point that must be mentioned here is that all participants' submitted games cannot have been already released."

"In other words, Lu Yu cannot enter Plants vs. Zombies, Legend, or Hero Kill into the competition."

"The competition has three stages, meaning it is divided into three rounds."

"The first round lasts one week, the second round two weeks, and the third round one month."

"In each round, participants must submit their game within the allotted time, otherwise they are considered to have voluntarily forfeited."

"Besides, I don't know what the organizers were thinking, but this competition's opening ceremony is actually being held in Jingdu, Huaxia!"

"In other words, Lu Yu needs to go to Jingdu in a week to attend the opening ceremony."

"As for this......"

"Lu Yu had quite a few ideas."

"He could sense that this opening ceremony was not simple, and someone might even take action against him."

"But ultimately, what means they would use, Lu Yu could not guess for now; he could only respond to each move as it came."

"Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh."

"Having transmigrated to this world, Lu Yu actually has his own plan."

"According to his plan, he will develop in a low-key manner, and then...... enjoy life."

"But accidents always come unexpectedly, Lu Yu......"

"and could only rise to the challenge."

"Really, never a moment's peace!"

"......"

"The next day, Lu Yu came to a corner on the edge of the urban area."

"It was Xiao Min who had him come over."

"\"Boss, I think we should choose this place for our first branch! \" Xiao Min pointed at a small building ahead and said to Lu Yu."

"Lu Yu looked around; this place was already on the fringe of the urban area, with relatively far too little foot traffic."

"The nearby foot traffic isn't large, and most importantly......"

"There aren't many white-collar workers living nearby, and there's no established residential community."

"Aside from a so-called university town currently under construction, this place...... really has no commercial value."

"The customer base that Moyuwangka faces actually has a relatively high income."

"In such a place...... the market really isn't big."

"Lu Yu didn't have much to say about that."

"Anyway, Mo Du will definitely develop; in the future, every corner of Mo Du will be prosperous."

"Even if the investment fails now......"

"As long as we persevere, we can save money."

"\"Boss, I plan to buy this building and make it the flagship store of our Moyuwangka. \""

"\"I've looked into it; the property prices here aren't high, the location is a bit remote, but it will surely prosper quickly. \""

"\"As long as we persist for half a year, we will definitely be profitable by then. \""

"Xiao Min looked at the small building ahead, her eyes shining; this was probably why she took a liking to this place."

"It can be bought outright to serve as a permanent base."

"Lu Yu couldn't help but glance at Xiao Min again; he even felt that Xiao Min might also have transmigrated here."

"Who would have thought to buy this place?"

"In another ten years, it will just be property appreciation; one could say this is a hugely successful investment."

"What could Lu Yu say?"

"He could only nod."

"Go ahead and do it, still the same thing: if you need money or have other needs, just give me a call." Lu Yu lightly nodded at Xiao Min.

Then the two walked around the area together, and Lu Yu left as well.

What Lu Yu didn't notice was that, ever since he arrived here, someone had been watching him the whole time.

Later, when Xiao Min bought that building, a piece of news had already spread in certain circles.

……

Pioneer Capital is a venture capital firm.

What is venture capital?

Venture capital!

When an industry has not yet risen, or put another way, when an industry has not yet shown signs of explosive growth, some entrepreneurs will put their money into it.

They may fail.

But once they succeed, they will reap returns of a hundredfold or even a thousandfold.

Thus, venture capital firms have always existed.

Qian Zhong is the General Manager of Pioneer Capital, and naturally also a venture capitalist.

Recently, Qian Zhong noticed Moyuwangka.

To be honest, it would be hard for Qian Zhong not to notice Moyuwangka.

As of now, in the circles of Mo Du's city center, hardly anyone is unaware of Moyuwangka.

At first, Qian Zhong was doubtful—just an internet cafe, what new tricks could it possibly pull?

Then, Qian Zhong went to Moyu.

He witnessed the "live-stream tipping model," and he witnessed the "tragic singer" route.

Most importantly, Qian Zhong saw the prosperity of Moyu.

Immediately, Qian Zhong had an idea: Moyuwangka would become popular, extremely popular!

This will be a new-generation internet cafe model, and it will capture most of the market share nationwide.

Qian Zhong immediately had the idea of venture capital.

But when he went to investigate the behind-the-scenes boss of Moyuwangka, he discovered... he was completely at a loss.

The legal person on the surface is surely just a "puppet."

The behind-the-scenes boss is hiding very deeply.

Qian Zhong is a very patient person, so he comes to Moyu every evening.

He didn't wait for the behind-the-scenes boss, but he came to understand Moyuwangka inside out, knowing that Xiao Min is the General Manager of Moyuwangka.

Even, Qian Zhong knew that Moyuwangka was going to open chain stores!

Qian Zhong thus paid even more attention to Xiao Min.

He trusted the behind-the-scenes boss's vision.

At the beginning, who could have thought that locating an internet cafe in the most prosperous downtown area could also be profitable?

So, Qian Zhong had already made preparations on two fronts.

First, to cooperate with the behind-the-scenes boss of Moyu.

If cooperation cannot be sought, Qian Zhong will invest in the branches of Moyuwangka.
