Lu Yiming stared in disbelief at the bustling event in the cinema and the quirky cosplayers.
Wow!
Why didn't you tell me about this good thing sooner!
It was just a small comic convention!
And it's free!
wrong!
Lu Yiming then realized what was happening.
How come my thoughts are so similar to those of a loser?
Looking at those perverts holding huge cameras, practically shoving them at the cosplayers, Lu Yiming immediately understood Mu Xia's methods.
Good heavens!
If there are no hot topics, then create them!
Look at the character this time, it's absolutely incredible.
Pleasant Goat, Big Bad Wolf, and Bear – these are classic childhood characters.
Other characters include Yan Lingji, Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and other characters from top Chinese animation works.
"This is all thanks to the idea you gave us, Chairman!"
Our activities revolve around the core goal of creating the only animation cinema in Shanghai, and even in China!
I hadn't originally come up with this idea; it was thanks to a few colleagues in our company who love going to comic conventions that I got the inspiration.
They made an appeal within the cosplay community, and within just one night, they managed to gather so many cosplay girls.
"Not only that, colleagues in the IT and PR departments didn't sleep all night yesterday."
Even after get off work, I stay home and work overtime all night.
They used every means at their disposal to promote this event online, which is how so many people learned about the establishment of our animation cinema!
Lu Yiming was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
I never expected this.
You guys were secretly plotting something big behind my back!
Is this a trick that a human could come up with?
You're making those cosplay girls stand there all day, how hard is that for you!
"How much did you say you'd pay these cosplayers to participate in the event?" Lu Yiming asked.
"It'll cost three thousand yuan per person per visit," Mu Xia said weakly.
"Chairman, did I give you too much?"
Lu Yiming: !!!
Listen to what you're saying!
How did you become a capitalist?!
It looks like it's about to grow devil's tentacles on its head!
"This is far from too much! They went to great lengths, even bringing their own makeup and styling to promote our business, and we only gave them three thousand yuan?" Lu Yiming pretended to be heartbroken, wiping away tears as he spoke.
"I felt like we were such animals when I heard that!"
How could we possibly treat them fairly?
"Then... how about giving me a little more, five thousand?" Mu Xia tentatively suggested.
"Five thousand? Are you kidding me! Give me five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand for each person who comes once!" Lu Yiming completely lost his temper and shouted:
"Transfer all 500,000 yuan to them after tonight!"
We cannot let these living bodhisattvas be disheartened!
Upon hearing Lu Yiming's words, Mu Xia nearly died of shock on the spot.
Five hundred thousand!
Did they really earn a full 500,000 in just one day?!
This has even made Mu Xia want to join the cosplay community!
This money is coming in way too fast!
"Wow! Five hundred thousand! Lu Yiming, you're really willing to spend money!"
"Holy crap! You really don't value money! With so many cosplayers, you'd have to give them tens of millions!"
"Damn, the money the employees worked so hard to earn has been squandered by Lu Yiming again!"
...
The countless viewers in the live stream were shocked.
"Yes, that's right, just 500,000. I even think 500,000 is too little."
Here's what we'll do: after the event, you can order some high-end gift boxes. Don't worry about the price.
"We'll send them all together later," Lu Yiming said earnestly.
"Mu Xia, you must remember that during our most difficult time, these cosplay girls did not look down on our small event and resolutely came to our anime cinema."
What an immense kindness! Such friendship is priceless!
"Mu Xia, and you too, I have to say something about you."
In the future, I need to learn to broaden my perspective and learn to spend money before I can make money.
"The more you spend money, the more you can make money!" Lu Yiming didn't forget to give a prank.
Otherwise, if they keep causing trouble like this, what will become of us?
"I...I understand..." Mu Xia said weakly.
"Let's go, take me to the cinema."
However, after walking to the entrance of the movie theater...
Lu Yiming looked at the crowd that was completely blocked, and was once again forcibly restrained for more than ten seconds.
Lu Yiming finally understood why the traffic was so congested.
They're all selling popcorn and figurines!
You can buy a whole bucket of popcorn for just 8 yuan!
You can get a big cup of iced cola for just 2 yuan!
Tell me, at this price, who could bear not to buy it?
The key point is that this is in Shanghai!
Who wouldn't be tempted by this price?
If it were when Lu Yiming was a loser, he would have rushed in to buy a Coke every day he passed by!
"Holy crap! Eight yuan for such a huge bucket of popcorn! You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Holy crap! This huge cup of iced cola costs 2 yuan! Lu Yiming, are you trying to bankrupt Coca-Cola?!"
"This is insane! Are you sure they won't lose money doing this? I seriously doubt it! Even in my small county town, popcorn costs 28 yuan at the movie theater!"
...
The live stream chat instantly erupted in an uproar.
"We've launched a massive promotional campaign," Mu Xia whispered to Lu Yiming.
Even at this price, we can still make a lot of money.
Profit margins aren't high, but with a lot of foot traffic, there's no fear of not making money.
