My Animation Era

The city is developing and Wanbao is making progress.

Gu Miao has almost forgotten what Jiangchuan was like six or seven years ago. In the past few years, Jiangchuan has changed so much.

Take the now-famous [Animation Industrial Park] in Jiangchuan as an example. A few years ago, it was a suburban wasteland with no roads.

But what about now?

In just four or five years, the former wasteland has become one of the most prosperous and expensive new urban areas in Jiangchuan.

Hospitals, schools, parks and office buildings are rising from the ground. As the most developed animation industry in the country and even Asia, the appearance of the neighborhoods here changes almost every day.

The rise of Wanbao Animation has driven the development of the entire animation industry in Jiangchuan.

I still remember that when Gu Miao first went to the leaders to apply for approval of the "Pleasant Goat Paradise" project, the leaders looked suspicious and disbelieving about the animation holy land he envisioned.

that time……

Although there are some animation-related companies in Jiangchuan, the annual output value and tax contributions are very low. Jiangchuan is still an industrial city.

But now, the animation industry has become a pillar industry in Jiangchuan City. The annual output value of the animation industrial park and supporting related enterprises is hundreds of billions!

we can even say.

The industrial park and its supporting facilities have become the main source of tax revenue for Jiangchuan City. The animation industry has also become a cultural business card of Jiangchuan to the outside world, attracting a large number of animation talents to settle in Jiangchuan every year.

According to statistics, as of October this year, there were 1,273 animation, comic, game, and audio-visual book publishing companies in Jiangchuan city, with more than one million employees.

The second-tier city, which used to be unknown and not very well-known in the country, has seen its GDP surge by hundreds of billions due to the rapid development of the animation industry, and has jumped into the top five prefecture-level cities in the country.

Are these changes not intuitive enough?

Let’s talk about a change that is closer to reality and easier to observe—house prices!

Jiangchuan's house price growth in the past two years has ranked among the highest in the country. Houses in the same location have increased by an average of 3,000-5,000 yuan a year.

A few years ago, Gu Miao bought the single-family villa from Mr. Xiong, which is the one where Lao Gu lives now. The market price at that time was only over 10 million.

Now?

The same single-family villa starts at least NT$60,000 to NT$70,000, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money, because there are not many similar houses in Jiangchuan, and buying a house requires providing social security and tax records for at least 3 years.

Jiangchuan has changed so much!

At the end of last year, street lights, bus stops, and stop signs in and around the city were all upgraded with "animation"-related elements.

The buses and taxis running on the roadside are all decorated with patterns of various cartoon and animation characters. The so-called "two-dimensional pain cars" on the Internet are everywhere in Jiangchuan.

The most awesome thing is Jiangchuan’s newly built expressway toll station and airport building...

The first time Gu Miao drove past the toll station, she was stunned. Using the "Yangcun Iron Gate" from the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" as a toll station, what kind of genius design is this?

More at the airport!

Other people's airport terminals are designed in a modern art style at most, but Jiangchuan's is better. The airport building is directly modeled after the Rolling Ball Monster from COS "Digimon".

Pay off the royalties for Te Meow!

Even Gu Miao, who doesn't go out often, has a lot of emotions about this kind of urban change, let alone tourists who often come to Jiangchuan.

During the National Day.

It is said that when Jiangchuan Outer Ring Road was most congested, the queue of vehicles waiting to enter the city stretched for 18 kilometers.

Even if it's not a holiday, the number of tourists who come specifically to Jiangchuan is staggering.

It’s not just domestic tourists.

There are also quite a number of tourists from overseas. They are all fans who yearn for Jiangchuan, the famous animation capital, and come here specifically for a "Holy Land Tour".

The animation industry is on the left and the tourism industry is on the right.

It is precisely because of these two axes that Jiangchuan's development in recent years has been on the fast track, making other surrounding cities envious.

I've heard it said...

As a local snake, Gu Miao learned through some unreliable gossip that Jiangchuan had recently planned to build a film and television base nearby.

If this is done, it will not only be the animation industry chain, but also the film and television industry will probably become the third key to Jiangchuan's development!

…

The better the city develops, the better the treatment for Gu Miao, who is the biggest contributor.

I won’t mention any preferential policies.

Wanbao has enjoyed a lot of welfare benefits in Jiangchuan over the years. It can only be said that the big tax payer is like this, and others cannot envy it.

The benefit that really made Gu Miao feel happy, so happy that he couldn't sleep most of the night, was that Jiangchuan gave him a license plate of 66666 some time ago.

This is a good thing that even money can’t buy! It is also a status symbol recognized by leaders and recognized by all citizens.

Little Bear is always enviable.

He is not short of money. He is worth tens of billions and is also the biggest shot in Jiangchuan. What he envies is not the license plate itself, but that this license plate was given as a gift...

If you buy it through various channels and someone else gives it to you, can the properties be the same?

"Why don't you send it to me?"

"Are you worthy?"

Gu Miao scolded angrily: "Brother, I have driven the rapid development of Jiangchuan's animation industry and tourism industry. I also pay a lot of taxes every year, so they gave it to me. What contribution have you made?"

“Does raising house prices count as a contribution?”

"Forget it! I can put you in line when we hang up the street lights..."

"Gan! Do you think I want to be so wicked? But the question is, what else can I do besides real estate?" Little Bear was always speechless.

This is not good for a son to inherit his father's legacy.

Mr. Xiong is not too keen on real estate, but for the sake of the family business, he does not dare to change businesses rashly.

He envied Gu Miao. On the one hand, he envied him for starting his own business without having to suffer from these constraints. On the other hand, he also envied Gu Miao's reputation.

When people mention him, they usually get scolded, but when they mention Gu Miao, that is the pride of Jiangchuan!

It's so hurtful.

Mr. Xiong, who felt more and more upset the more he thought about it, decided to skip the topic and talk to Gu Miao about serious matters.

The neon animation company he previously acquired has completed the formalities and started the production of the first project at the same time.

This is the first animation work Mr. Bear has invested overseas. He has high expectations for it, but also feels very uneasy.

So he came to Gu Miao, hoping to get some comfort from his good brother. It was best to get confirmation, so that he would have peace of mind.

"What subject matter?"

"Uh! A beast girl with a human form, specializing in cute and funny things..."

"puff!"

Gu Miao, who had just picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, immediately spit out the tea when she heard the word "beast mother".

What the hell?

Although I guess that Xiao Xiong always takes an unconventional path, most of the animations he invests in are not that serious. After all, this is his consistent style.

But is this too abstract?

"Don't worry, it's just a beast-girl theme. As long as the style of painting is decent and the girl looks good, I'm sure there will be no shortage of viewers!"

When Gu Miao said this, her expression became tense.

Tomb robbing, orange flavor, rot selling, beast mother, this guy's taste seems to be getting weirder and weirder...

Speaking of the beast mother theme, have you ever watched "Cat Everyday Life"? The source of the "Give me a haircut too" emoticon package
