Chapter 62: Chapter Sixty-Two: You Are Always One Step Behind!
After the phone rang for a long time, it was finally answered; Cai Qiu let out a weary yawn and complained in a somewhat hoarse voice:
"Brother Yu, it's only you. Calling so early in the morning—anyone else would get a mouthful of curses from me right off the bat. Do you believe that?"
Early in the morning?
Qin Qin Xiaoyu paused slightly, then asked with some confusion: "Old Cai, have you already left the Land of Cherry Blossoms?"
Hearing this question, Cai Qiu on the other end of the line was speechless for a long while before slowly replying: "The matter in the Land of Cherry Blossoms ended long ago; we've even settled things over in the European Kingdom.
The report has been sent to your email; perhaps you were too busy over there and haven't had time to check it.
We've just arrived in the United States. We'll rest for half a day, finish up things here, and then prepare to return. By the way, Brother Yu, the money is running low..."
Originally, Qin Qin Xiaoyu had planned to continue asking questions, but after hearing Old Cai's words, he immediately abandoned that idea.
Old Cai has been rushing back and forth, and his voice has even become hoarse; it would be better to let him rest properly.
Thinking this, Qin Qin Xiaoyu spoke into the phone:
"Don't worry about the money; I'll arrange for someone to transfer it to you.
I'll look at the report first. You two rest well, and be careful while you're out. When you return, I'll hold a grand celebration banquet for you."
"Got it, I'll remember those words. Hanging up!"
After Old Cai finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.
During this period, he had a pile of things on his hands: the redesign of Liyue and the Snow Mountain maps, various PVs, and the collaboration event with Kentucky, and so on.
Add to that the internal affairs of the studio; most were handled by Chen Wei, and those he couldn't resolve would come directly to report to him in person.
As for emails, Qin Qin Xiaoyu indeed hadn't had time to check them for a while.
After opening his email inbox, Qin Qin Xiaoyu quickly glanced through it, soon found the report Old Cai mentioned, and casually clicked to open it.
The report's content was very detailed; one could see that Cai Qiu must have invested considerable thought and effort.
Throughout the entire Land of Cherry Blossoms, they spent a total of about seven million Renminbi.
And the results they achieved.
After reading it, Qin Qin Xiaoyu was quite satisfied in his heart.
In major subway stations across Tokyo, prominent positions were basically all occupied by Genshin Impact character posters.
On the streets of the Akihabara district, Genshin Impact character posters were similarly plastered everywhere.
On the huge electronic screens at AKB48 advertising spots, Genshin Impact gameplay demonstration footage and various PV animations were broadcast continuously for twenty hours.
The effect brought by investing so much money was also extremely significant.
According to predictions by the local cooperating agencies, the number of people paying attention to this game very likely exceeded one hundred million.
Upon learning that this two-dimensional game, Genshin Impact, originated from the Summer Kingdom, major media outlets began frantic reporting.
Of course.
The purpose of these Land of Cherry Blossoms media outlets reporting on Genshin Impact was naturally not to promote or report on the game itself, but to use it as a pretext to harshly criticize their own domestic mainstream two-dimensional culture companies for being unambitious.
Pointing out that they fenced themselves in to indulge in their own niche, making no effort to advance.
Now, a foreign two-dimensional game has literally fought its way to their doorstep, and so blatantly and arrogantly.
It is simply an insult!
