Please make money.

Opening a letter at random, Alia quickly read the crooked words written by the child, which said that the child was very grateful to her for sending COCO to him.
I think COCO-chan or something like that is the name the child gave to her Tamagotchi electronic pet, and it seems that they have a good relationship with it.
Ailia picked up the pen and quickly replied with a few words of blessing: "Send it back, and also buy a few houses here. I will use them to store letters."
"…I feel like I've heard of this operation somewhere."
"That's not important. What's important is how can we live up to the fans' expectations?"
Alia said righteously: "For those who believe in me, I am willing to pay any price!"
"How about being more straightforward?"
"Tsk, you need to make money..."
……
……
"Grandpa."
"Ah, I'm back—how does it feel?"
An Hechang looked at his granddaughter and poured her a cup of tea. "Following the eldest lady, what have you learned recently?"
"……No."
An and Yumiko silently swallowed some inappropriate comments.
Something like, 'All the men in this book should be thankful that Alia is straight.' That was probably the comment.
"Ms. Eldest is going to endorse Tamagotchi herself recently. What do you think?"
“I think it’s a bit too much.”
"why?"
"It's just an electronic toy. Even if it has great benefits, but..."
"To you, it's just an electronic toy, but do you know what it is to us?"
"This - please give me some advice, Grandfather!"
"It's a turning point." General Manager An He pushed the Tamagotchi with its packaging on the table forward. "If we were sure that this product would be so popular before the acquisition, we would never agree to the acquisition."
"..."
“Even if this little thing may not bring that much benefit, it is a hope that can give people a boost.”
Historically, Consortium B had the confidence to make up for its losses, so it refused the merger and acquisition, and developed many derivative products, and even reorganized into Bandai Namco.
If there hadn't been such a turning point, I would probably have fallen into Sega's pit and wouldn't have been able to climb out for the rest of my life.
"But the young lady...is not short of money."
"Yes, but have you learned about the projects that the young lady has invested in recently?"
Consortium B is probably the first company in Japan and even in the world to get involved in games and related IP derivatives. General Manager An He has an unusually trendy vision.
While everyone else was watching how Alia spent her money and paying attention to Tamagotchi, the loudest electronic toy, An and General Manager saw Alia's 10 billion yen investment.
The bet with Nintendo is a process, not a goal. The process of integrating software and hardware is progressing steadily, and we even have clear prototypes and escort works.
That’s right, escort work - this is the concept proposed by Alia - it can’t be said that General Manager An He’s eyes lit up, but it can be said that he keenly sensed the business opportunity.
And it's not just one or two business opportunities, it's the recovery of an entire industry, or even further changes.
How big is the gaming industry? At least it can produce an Atari, and Atari's scale is not inferior to the 4 trillion yen of the Ai Group.
"In the eyes of the young lady, there are stars in the whole sky, but you only see the moonlight shining on her."
An He, the general manager, was a little disappointed: "Yumiko, if you can't even detect such a layout when you are around the young lady, then I have to doubt what you are learning."
Tamagotchi is the hope of money for Consortium B.
For the gaming industry, it is the hope of the ‘market’ – this is an electronic toy! A weakened version of the game!
In it, you can even see the prototype of human-computer interaction for future handheld game consoles!
In An He's opinion, Ailia's actions were not just a random attempt, but were clearly planned in advance.
It's like throwing a stone to test the water, testing the boundaries of the market little by little, and preparing a most high-profile entry method.
He still hasn't forgotten that Alia had published something similar to an industry recruitment notice before, recruiting talents from the gaming industry with a large salary.
Although she recruited three people, and those three also recruited about two hundred people, but is that all?
The professionals working in this field, the elites in this field, are generally still in an age group that is young, energetic and full of idealistic cognition.
Shigeru Miyamoto and others are young and energetic, and Hideo Kojima was beaten up for a few years, but they still remain true to their original aspirations. How many people are there like this?
At this time, Alia had already secretly launched an industry layout, and then jumped out in the open to show her presence and take up the banner of the industry.
Once the industry really recovers, Alia will be the godfather-level figure who saves the industry - this kind of intangible reputation capital cannot be bought with any amount of money.
Basically, as an industry practitioner, given the same or even slightly less salary, one would probably choose the more idealistic Alia.
Not to mention that Alia is not short of money. The salary she gives is first-rate even across industries. She is already well-known as a good boss...
An He Yumiko looked at the old newspapers that General Manager An He took out and saw the recruitment information, and she immediately took a breath.
Of course she didn't know that it was something Alia did right after the Atari crash.
She thought that it was really at that time that Alia realized the existence of a huge market with great potential and was ready to enter the market.
As for Tamagotchi and the like - isn't that a handy weapon that your Consortium B delivered to your doorstep?
"But, but this is really..."
"No buts, Yumiko. Success can be achieved through 10,000 kinds of accidents, but none of them can conceal the value of success."
After success, all coincidences are luck that can be explained.
Even if Alia is hitting the nail here and there, doesn't she have a good vision and picked the current hot product in the market?
"…So, the next step, young lady, is to raise the flag?"
"Yumiko, the power of human heart is infinite." General Manager An He picked up the teacup and said, "I have always hoped that you can correctly understand all this."
“Yes, I am always learning!”
"The eldest lady's talent cannot be achieved through mere study. Her words and actions that you see are not deliberately created performances, but come from the strength of her heart. The most touching thing in this world is sincerity - have you noticed her sincerity?"
"I...I'm sorry...I didn't know..."
"Interest in things can change a lot of things. Learning is a boring process. This is my fault. I shouldn't let you stay out of learning."
General Manager An He sighed, put down his teacup, and bowed solemnly to his granddaughter to apologize: "There is something wrong with my educational policy, Yumiko."
An and Yumiko were horrified and quickly moved aside, not daring to accept it: "It's all because I didn't take your teachings seriously!"
"No, I'm serious... Yumiko, have you ever devoted yourself to a career?"
"..."
"You had your own dreams. When you were a child, you dreamed of becoming a designer and designing very novel industrial products. But I killed your dream at that time. I thought that you should be the helmsman of the Anhe family. You should learn how to control people's hearts, analyze events, and use the perspective of a superior to control the future of many people. This is what you should do with your status and position. Facts have proved that I was wrong. I have seen what kind of brilliance a pure way of living can bring."
No one can live like Arya. She is so pure, so unrestrained, without any burden, and almost crazy.
But the problem is - after knowing about Alia's existence, no one would not envy someone who can live like this, happy as if they own the whole world.
Jiang Tianyi envies Alia, which proves that Alia is truly happy.
People cannot stand comparison. The more they compare, the more they realize that being human has its limits.
But Alia didn't...
So An and Changshi were envious and even a little jealous.
Why isn't his granddaughter Alia?
Then I realized that I had such an opportunity, but I missed it.
He cultivated an elite, a talent among his peers.
But this way you can't cultivate a hero, the pinnacle of an industry, or even a leader in a field.
He used his own life experience to cover the infinite possibilities of An and Yumiko, and the upper limit of An and Yumiko was stuck in his own upper limit.
Just like Jiang Tianyi - if Jiang Zhenxiong hadn't been in prison, and she had been living overseas and working hard for many years, would she be able to make her way back now?
Not to mention confronting Alia, her ability to take back control of the Jiang Group can be said to be the result of her own efforts, which far exceeded her father's expectations.
Anhe Yumiko looked at her grandfather blankly, not understanding why he had been in control of the situation before, but now he was looking at her with a bit of self-blame.
That look was totally different from the impression he had of the wise head of the Anhe family.
Instead, it seems like the grandfather who doted on me that I had when I was a child.
"I will not assign you any more tasks. You should find the answers to the questions in your own way, whether by studying, observing, or joining in."
Executive Director An He placed a small seal representing his executive status on the table, hoping that it was not too late.
"From now on, you are a shareholder of the Anhe family, General Manager Anhe Yumiko - go and embrace your era."
"..."
208-Ai Ma is worried about the socially anxious players
"So what this means is that you inherited your grandfather's shares and officially became the executive director of Consortium B?"
A new day, a new skin, Alia in a skirt is incredibly beautiful.
She curiously circled around An and Yumiko, who were dressed in professional attire. It seemed that because of their different identities, their attire was slightly different.
In the past, An and Yumiko were dressed like office ladies, strong women, but not strong enough.
Now she has changed into a white suit, which makes her look more calm than a strong woman.
What’s more important is that many details have changed, such as hairstyle, makeup, and even the watch style has changed.
In the past, An and Yumiko wore a Cartier ladies' watch, which was quite standard and could not go wrong.
But now she is wearing a Seiko Grand Seiko SBGR287, with a blued second hand, a ribbon dial, and mirrored indexes.
This is certainly not more expensive. It is even cheaper than the previous Cartier. But this may be the style that An and Yumiko like. They believe that they can express that they do not need to adhere to a certain fixed image through these little capriciousness.
People like Alia cannot be analyzed in this way. The only function of the F91W she wears is to be used as a time bomb. It is the best use of it.
"It's good. I feel freer than before."
Alia looked around twice and didn't find any major changes, so she sat down to discuss business.
"How's the shipment from Consortium B going?"
“It’s more popular than expected—but the local market is not yet satisfied. Is it necessary to explore other markets?”
Alia's stock is sufficient, so sufficient that if all of it were released, the entire market demand would be filled in an instant.
But she did not do so. Instead, she took advantage of Japan's shipping advantages and transferred the shipped goods to the Southeast Asian market and even the European and American markets.
Ailia thought to herself, of course, do you know that it was because your Group B was too slow that pirated products took over most of the overseas market?
But those words sounded too much like rebirth, so Alia was just as willful as ever: "I want everyone in the world to play with Tamagotchi!"
"..."
Very good, a very strong reason, worthy of you.
An and Yumiko had nothing to say. The business strategy of Consortium B itself was very stable, and there had not been many changes since she took over.
The reason why Consortium B suddenly fell into a certain predicament was nothing more than the chain reaction caused by Atari's bad deeds that brought down the entire industry.
By the time these companies had recovered, it would be the era of flourishing development in the future, and Japanese manufacturers would even become the world's dominant force for a time.
Of course, Nintendo is no longer the ruler of the world now, because Alia is here.
This shameless woman has usurped Nintendo's expertise in combining software and hardware, and has stolen the future entrepreneurial potential of countless bigwigs.
Even for this, people have to thank her - some industry Optimus Prime - some game savior - anyway, she is now a dragon crossing the river.
Old Ren has 10 billion in his hands, and Yamauchi Hiroshi has been visited by many guests recently, many of whom come to ask his elder brother for a hand.
Is Yamauchi Hiroshi arrogant? Of course I am a little arrogant. With such momentum, I am comparable to the leader of the martial arts world!
Then, when he thought about what these 10 billion yen meant to Alia, he couldn't get excited anymore.
