Our Rise Era

Chapter 27 Shocking gimmick!

[Shocked! This company invested nearly 100 million yuan to produce three episodes of Chinese animation. The rise of Chinese animation! ]

After Zheng Guodong answered the phone, he turned on his computer immediately.

then……

When he saw this title on the "Soushu" forum, his head started buzzing.

An investment of nearly 100 million?
I……

He subconsciously clicked on the title...

[When we talk about animation, what is the first cartoon that comes to our mind? 】

[Is it Japan's "Bell Cat", "Mecha Baby", "Star Dragon", "Basketball Fire"? Or is it the American "Superman", "Star Force", "Flower Mouse"? ]

[Open the rankings, turn on the TV, turn on the children's channel, and all you see are animations, whether they are for young children or for adults...]

[Can you see even one Chinese animation in the rankings? ]

【At this moment, did we suddenly realize something? 】

[In recent years, in the field of animation, it seems that Japan, Europe and the United States have always occupied the majority of the industry, while domestic animation seems to have been in a downturn, which is terrible...]

[Where has our domestic animation gone in these years? 】

[Did you know that Chinese animation started in the 20s, and it has a long road of development. It has experienced glory and once dominated the world? ]

[So, now, what happened to them? What happened to our animation practitioners? ]

【…】

The title of the post is quite shocking.

Below the title, there is a story.

From early ink paintings to the peak period of "Havoc in Heaven", even the Japanese animation master [Kogoro Kanzaki] who is now in the limelight has visited China many times and visited the former Chinese art "Dream Factory". Then the Chinese art "Dream Factory" gradually fell apart, and Japanese and American comics suddenly rose up and occupied all Chinese animations at lightning speed. Chinese local animation was in mourning and devastated. All animation practitioners and graduates became workers and mental workers for Japanese and American IPs...

This is a story that begins in the 20s and tells the story of how Chinese animation went from glory to decline and then to its lingering survival. Even at this time, the entire animation industry in China has become a foreign colony and a big money-making market.

The article is written very straightforwardly, but it uses vivid real-life examples, layer by layer, and there is a sense of sadness and heaviness between the lines.

The further you look back, the more depressed you feel, as if an invisible dark cloud is pressing down on your head, making it hard for you to breathe.

This strong sense of heaviness continued until the second half of the article...

When the feeling of frustration deep in one's heart is pushed to the extreme, and one reaches the point of despair...

【YW Animation】Appeared!

They were a group of young people who were unwilling to give up when seeing the people mourning everywhere...

They are in a terrible situation, with no one paying attention to them, no one helping them, being rejected again and again, being laughed at, hit, and stepped on again and again, but they always rely on their dreams to move forward little by little, fall down again and again, but stand up again and again in the mud, just like a spark in the darkness!

This article has a really strong ability to render emotions and appeal to scenes!
So strong that even Zheng Guodong was deeply moved...

It was as if those groups of young people were working day and night for their "dreams", "ambitions in their hearts", and "the rise of Chinese comics" right in front of their eyes...

However, this feeling of being touched began to change when it came to [Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.]!

In the article, he regards his meeting with these young people as a "historical encounter."

A group of frustrated young people met Zheng's Food Co., Ltd., which was also on the verge of collapse and struggling on the edge of reform.

then……

[In the darkness, Zheng Guodong, who had smoked three packs of cigarettes, resolutely made a "difficult" decision...]

He wants to make dreams come true for these young people!

It also ignites a fire for the rise of Chinese animation!

What about one hundred million?
Where does it say that I invested 100 million?

Zheng Guodong looked through every corner of the article, but did not see the words "investment of 100 million"!
After reading this...

Zheng Guodong stared at the title again...

Grass!
Pure clickbait title!

He opened other posts...

Then, he discovered that all the other posts were filled with similar articles...

However, the titles are getting more exaggerated than the last.

Some say it is 100 million, some say it is 200 million, and some say it is 500 million...

What made Zheng Guodong's scalp tingle and his worldview exploded was...

[Shocked, a famous superstar died just to have a bite of instant noodles! ]

[Shocking, a famous French movie star traveled all the way to China just for a bite of instant noodles...]

【shock……】

……

After seeing these titles, Zheng Guodong felt as if he had been taught a hard lesson by the young people!
What the hell!
How can you talk nonsense like this?
Is there any fool who can believe it?
At this moment, Zheng Guodong's cell phone rang again.

He answered the phone.

Moments after answering the phone, a piercing sound rang in my ears.

"Damn you Zheng Guodong, you actually invested 100 million in three episodes of animation, are you crazy? Where did your money come from? Did you really sell the factory?"

Zheng Guodong only felt his eardrums buzzing.

Zheng Guodong was suddenly even more speechless!
My wife, who has always been very smart, actually believed the rumors on the Internet!

After he tried his best to explain, the other party finally got his IQ online. "I also think it's impossible that you have 100 million. If you have 100 million, you will still be like this?"

"But the news has spread throughout the county now!"

"Everyone says you're crazy!"

“Spending money everywhere…”

"Tell me, have you hidden any private money?"

"..."

....................................

Everyone agrees.

Three become tigers.

In this era when the Internet has been in its infancy for a long time, it is easy to drive an entire county crazy!

"It's impossible to invest 100 million. What a joke! If there was 100 million, [Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.] would have taken off long ago!"

"But I heard, but I heard, for this animation, [Zheng Food Co., Ltd.] sold 30% of the company's shares to a young boss named Zhang Yang..."

"Damn, who is that Zhang Yang? Why haven't I heard of him?"

"I know who Zhang Yang is. Have you read Story Club? And the recent issues of Magic City Stories, which all tell stories about a store called ZY Grocery Store. ZY Grocery Store happens to be in our county. I heard from people in the next town that Zhang Yang went to France and, despite all odds, got the agency rights for ZY Grocery Store!"

"I haven't bought these magazines recently, I didn't know!"

"Didn't you see in Yilin that the toilet water in ZY Grocery Store is drinkable?"

"Holy shit, is it true?"

"Really? The toilets in the French base camp need to be flushed seven times, but the international students in the daily life only seem to have flushed them six times. Then, they were caught and driven away by the French..."

"Oh my god, is it true?"

The morning of November 11.

Fatty Yuan looked at the empty shelves in the grocery store, and at the reporters outside who were holding cameras and taking pictures everywhere!
I was excited but confused at the same time. I thought these goods had become a long-pile of burdens. However, no one could have imagined that in less than a month, except for some unsaleable items like toilet paper in the [Domestic Area] and the products with the most obvious Chinese labels in the [Domestic Area], all other items had been cleared out!

Moreover, after November 11th, the traffic in [ZY Grocery Store] started to increase, and the people who came became more and more strange!
When they come here, they buy up all the goods in the PRC area as soon as they see them.

It doesn't matter if you add more money.

Old Man Lu’s artworks are also selling extremely well. Freshly made items framed in glass display cases are sold out in an instant before they even get warm.

Starting from November 11th...

The average daily turnover of the grocery store exceeded 10,000 yuan, and the profit was frighteningly high. Most of the products were bamboo art. The money earned and the money accumulated before allowed Fatty Yuan to pay off most of his loans in one go...

but!

Brother Zhang said he had to find a brand new source of goods. He has been looking for half a month, but there is still no news...

Even a little news would be nice...

Brother Zhang!

If you don't come over, the grocery store will run out of things to sell...

Maybe I can only sell the toilet. Looking at the clean toilet in the bathroom, Fatty Yuan sighed with a complicated expression.

..............................

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Fatty Yuan opened the door.

In addition to the guests who flocked in, several reporters also rushed over...

"Hello, Boss Yuan, there is a rumor online that Mr. Zhang spent 100 million to acquire 30% of the shares of [Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.]. Do you know? Do you think this is true?"

"Boss Yuan, someone has revealed that your grocery store sells only domestic products, which is a form of consumer fraud. Do you want to clarify this matter?"

"Boss Yuan, there are rumors on the Internet that you and Mr. Zhang went to France and worked hard to get this agency. Is this true?"

"Hello, can you tell me about Mr. Zhang's rise to wealth? I heard that you lost a lot of money, but Mr. Zhang's sudden rise was a hype. Is it true?"

“Did Popeye really cost 100 million yuan?”

"..."

When he first saw the reporter, Fatty Yuan was nervous.

But then Fatty Yuan opened his mouth and his mind went blank...

What one hundred million?
What acquisition [Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.]?
What and what?
Just when Fatty Yuan was at a loss, a noise came from not far away.

He turned his head and looked subconsciously, and then saw Brother Zhang, whom he had not seen for a long time, wearing a suit, getting out of a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle.

"Sorry! Sorry, please make way..."

"I'm sorry, due to special reasons, we can't restock the groceries in the grocery store right now..."

"First, our store needs to be renovated. Second, a lot of our goods have to be shipped overseas. We didn't know they would suddenly sell so well..."

"Thanks to the author who wrote our [ZY Grocery]..."

"deeply appreciated!"

"But everyone should consume rationally. In fact, our domestic products are also very good..."

"..."
