So, the source of destruction is probably that kind of thing.
But the final death does not mean that the process of living is meaningless. All Ling can do is to protect the earth every time she faces a visible enemy.
That's it.
This realization made Ling feel better. She didn't like being immersed in despair and anxiety all day long. Thinking about an unbeatable enemy all day long was just like a human thinking about his own death all day long. It was really stupid.
It’s okay to escape, but life must go on.
One afternoon a few days later, she received a call from Alice.
Shionji Yuuko's progress was faster than Reiya had expected. In just a few days, she had built the code for the forum website.
It was a website similar to Weibo and Twitter, where you could upload text and pictures. Later, you could even upload videos. Compared to designing a chat app from scratch, this seemed easier.
Ling knew nothing about this, so in her opinion, being able to write a website in just a few days was a superpower.
"What kind of superpower is this?" For Alice, this is not even difficult. The real difficulty is not the software, but the hardware.
Without the Internet, it is unclear whether this forum website can run smoothly. The Internet is the prerequisite for everything, otherwise any website is a castle in the air.
Ling knew this, of course. She planned to initially lay out a satellite network covering all mobile phones produced by companies in Tokyo.
Yes, the Internet is not designed to serve computers, but mobile phones.
The initial development of the Internet was very different from Lingye's past world. It started flying before learning to walk. It seemed that many steps were skipped, and the transmission medium jumped directly from wired to wireless.
But the advanced technology of humans in this world has skipped many steps.
Most importantly, Alice told her it was possible.
"But this requires a huge amount of money. I think you need more money than superpowers." Alice on the other end of the phone said seriously.
She had no idea about money, but she estimated that even if she helped those departments write ten or a hundred programs, it would still be far from enough.
Cash ability?
Isn't this just a coincidence? In Lingye's opinion, the issue of funds has never been a problem. It's not that she is a spendthrift, but she believes that the money invested will be rewarded.
Investing in the Internet and mobile phones is always better than investing in real estate, and it is much more reliable than the financial industry where the Oshima Group once led.
Depositing the money in the bank and watching the false financial appreciation, ten years later the bald eagle feels that the island nation's pigs are tamed and cuts them off with one knife, so no matter how much money is in the account, it is all a bubble.
Seeing Ling was so determined, Alice didn't say anything else. She was just a technician.
"Then there is the biggest problem." Alice's voice sounded a little sleepy. There was a gulp of sound coming from the other end of the phone. Needless to say, she must be drinking that strange drink. "To cover a network in Tokyo, we need to deploy a synchronous satellite over Tokyo."
It is not enough to lease the right to use a satellite as the Daidoji Group did before; they need a satellite that truly belongs to their own company.
Launching satellites is a national strategy, and in this era, money is not everything. Even apart from the TAC team that is not part of its own organization, the island country does not have the ability to independently launch a carrier rocket.
This is indeed a problem, and Ling has no good solution for the time being. The TAC team can have a tacit understanding with her, but it is difficult to have an excuse to launch a satellite for her. Even if this is really not a big deal for the TAC team, it is much simpler than destroying a super beast.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Ling heard someone knocking on the study door.
It’s Butler Jianye.
"Excuse me, young lady. There is something I think you may need to know."
Jianye handed over a plan, which was not from the Oshima Group, but from Sanmu Entertainment Company.
The filming of "Cardcaptor" is about to be completed. Now it has reached the middle of the last season "Sakura Card", and it is expected to be completed in six or seven episodes. This summer, the story of Cardcaptor will come to an end on TV.
I am a little reluctant to let go, but no matter how good a story is, it must have an end.
However, the project of Sanmu Company in Lingye's hand has nothing to do with the TV series, at least not directly. Lingye glanced at it for a moment, his expression did not change, but Jianye clearly felt that the eldest lady was not happy.
"Is this a decision made by Sanmu Company?"
Ling also slapped the planning paper on the table. Normally, she rarely did such rude things.
It's not like the plan has too much content. It says "Cardcaptor peripheral figures release plan"
The image of the Cardcaptor is made into figures and sold.
Of course, there is no Reiya or Tomoyo among them. There is only Sakura.
After all, Sakura is the only one who has signed a contract with Sanmu Company and has the right to use her image.
Having said that, even if Lingye and Tomoyo also signed a contract with Sanmu Company, they would certainly not dare to make such a decision privately.
"Sakura didn't tell me." Ling said softly to herself.
My image is made into a figurine and sold at random. Who knows what others will do with it after buying it?
As far as Ling knew in his previous life, there were people who would call a figurine "wife".
Ling would not be able to accept it if it were her. She also did not think that Sakura would be happy about it, although the star would indeed receive a certain share of the profits.
Sakura didn't tell her, and probably didn't tell Tomoyo either. They were obviously friends.
"Miss, do you need me to communicate with Sanmu Company and give up this plan?"
"Give up? But Sakura's contract is with Sanmu Company. Even if she gives up this time, there will be similar projects next time?"
This time it's a figurine, what about next time? Photos? Or other rights to use the image?
"So, what does the young lady mean?"
"Grandpa Jianye, please take the trouble to acquire Sanmu Company."
In this way, the contract with Sakura will return to their hands.
It's like asking a housekeeper to go out and buy a bottle of soy sauce.
And Jianye also didn't think this was a big deal.
"I understand."
Chapter 277 Acquisition of Sanmu Company
Director Sanmu came to visit overnight that same night.
Accompanying them were the company's general producer Hirohei Takasu and his agent Ms. Ohshige.
Of course, Takasu Production and Ms. Oshige are not the top executives of the company, and the agent Oshige is just a low-level employee. But they are familiar with the person from the Oshima family.
I have to say, this is indeed a wise decision.
Lingye had a very good relationship with Takasu Production and Miss Daishige. So much so that when she came in, she was not in the study or reception room, but in the lounge, as if she was entertaining a friend.
But Sanmu knew that Miss Oshima was only entertaining Takasu and Daishige. It had nothing to do with him or Sanmu Company. The huge, even vast, manor and majestic castle had worn out all his courage when he stepped into it.
He deeply realized that Oshima and Mimaki were in completely different worlds.
Power is sometimes very mysterious. It is an invisible and intangible concept in normal times, but once it is embodied in concrete things, it will make people deeply aware of the sense of despair.
"I am so sorry! I was so rude!"
After entering the lounge and before sitting down, Sanmu knelt down in the middle of the room. Gaoxu and Daishige were a little embarrassed, and they didn't know whether they should kneel down like their boss's boss.
"Director Sanmu, you are not being rude. I know that is just normal business practice."
It is indeed normal. The signed stars are the company's assets, and it is natural to develop and utilize valuable assets.
The entertainment company is not doing charity, it's just a few figures of Sakura Kinomoto's image, it's really no big deal.
Such a plan does not even require the company's top management, a decision from the middle-level promotion department is enough. Figures, clothes, and cards are just a small part of it.
It’s just that Ling isn’t very happy either.
A little girl's unhappiness is insignificant in most cases, but she is the eldest daughter of the Oshima family.
Therefore, her unhappiness is a disaster for a new small consortium like Sanmu.
Director Sanmu is deeply aware of this.
When he had dealt with Oshima Reiya before, he just felt that the other party was friendly and easy to talk to. He did not have the superiority of a big family, so he actually ignored it.
For Oshima, there is no need to be high and mighty. An ordinary decision or an idea is enough.
Even now, she was still very kind. She asked her personal maid to make tea and poured it for them personally.
But Sanmu didn’t dare to drink this tea.
"Ms. Oshima, this is the contract between our company and Ms. Kinomoto! Please accept it."
The kneeling Sanmu was like someone paying tribute to the emperor in ancient palace dramas. He held a contract high above his head and presented it to him.
The scene was a bit exaggerated, with a middle-aged man kneeling down to a ten-year-old girl.
But the Japanese people like exaggeration.
Ling didn't put on airs, she didn't like that.
"Please stand up. I don't like to overpower others."
Ling was telling the truth. Being made to kneel like this would not satisfy her vanity.
The gods are asked to kneel down to satisfy the believers’ prayers, and the elders are asked to kneel down to take the responsibility of raising the children.
She didn't want to fulfill Sanmu's prayers, and she was not Sanmu's elder and would not raise him, so there was no reason for her to accept his kneeling.
"The contract between your company and Sakura is a legally signed business transaction. I cannot accept this contract. The Oshima family will not take things by force, so they just want to buy it with real money."
Of course Sanmu also wanted to make some money. He finally had a popular character who was almost a cash cow, so he was unwilling to give it away for free.
But when the Oshima aunt said buy it, she didn't mean buy the contract, she meant buy the entire company.
The most terrifying thing is that she is fully capable of doing this. Even with the financial resources of the Oshima family, this is just a drop in the bucket.
Seeing the look from their boss, Takasu and Daishige, who had been silent since they first entered the company, had no choice but to speak.
"Um, Ms. Oshima."
Dazhong originally wanted to call her "Lingye", as she was used to calling her that, and believed Ling wouldn't mind. But in this situation, she felt that a more formal address would be more appropriate.
"You know, I haven't paid off my car loan yet, and I'm considering buying a house recently, so it will be very troublesome if the company is gone and I lose my job." Miss Dazhong said cautiously.
"But, Takasu Production, Ms. Ooshige, I will not lay off the employees even if I buy the company. The company's business will continue, and there may be more business in the future, and it will be busier." I dare not say anything about other things, but Ling also has some good ideas for TV, animation, and music.
Although she didn't remember many games, music, and animations from her previous life, and even what she remembered was only a rough outline, the biggest advantage of being a boss was that as long as she provided a direction, there would be the right people to perfect it.
For example, the screenwriter who uses the pen name Mushroom has already finished writing the script for "Heaven's Cup". Facts have proved that as long as pressure is given, Mushroom can also write a happy ending, although he still has some complaints, thinking that he failed to dig deep into the theme and sublimate the plot.
Damn sublimation!
Just incompetent and furious.
