I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 731: The Shaping of Genesis



Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City

Monday, March 22nd, 11:00 AM

Theo sat by the large window in his home office, gazing at the skyline of Elffire City in the distance. The mountains were bathed in sunlight, casting shadows across the forested valleys. Spring had arrived in the Sakura Abode Country, and with it, a sense of renewal filled the air.

Currently, he was drawing the next editions of the Naruto and his other mangas.

His phone buzzed on the desk, pulling his attention away from the view. He glanced at the screen-Sam Walker was calling. He leaned back in his chair, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He knew what the call was about.

"Hey, Sam," Theo said as he answered, his voice relaxed but tinged with anticipation.

"Hey, Theo! I've got news for you," Sam's voice chimed in, professional but with a subtle hint of excitement. "I made the offer to RainX earlier this morning. Spoke to Akio Matsuda, their leader."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Theo's smile widened. "That's great! How did he take it?"

Sam chuckled. "Confused at first. He had no idea who Umbrella Corporation was, or what we wanted with his small indie studio. But once I explained the offer-especially the part about creative freedom and the funding—he seemed pretty intrigued. I sent him the formal proposal right after we spoke. They've got until tomorrow night to decide."

Theo leaned back further, his hand tracing the edge of his desk as he imagined the future. His own game studio. His own games. "That's fantastic. I've been following these guys since PrimCon. Their game, Wanderer, has so much potential. I'm confident they'll take the offer." "I think so too," Sam agreed. "It's too good to pass up. The creative freedom alone is enough to win them over, but double the salary and full funding? They'd be crazy not to."

Theo nodded, his eyes shifting back to the view outside. For months, he had been preparing for this moment-the launch of his own gaming company. Genesis Gaming Studio was just the beginning, but now it felt real. He wasn't just investing in talented people; he was investing in his own dreams.

"So, what's next?" Sam asked after a brief pause, knowing there was always more on Theo's mind than just one deal.

"Now that we've made the offer to RainX, we need to think bigger," Theo said, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "We've got our core team once they sign the contract, but that's not enough to run a full-fledged studio. We need more people-fresh talent straight out of college, people who are hungry to prove themselves."

Sam nodded, already knowing where he was going. "You're thinking of filling in the gaps?"

"Exactly. Hire at least 20 to 30 new employees. We need programmers, artists, designers- basically, every role that can help bring our vision to life. Find people who are creative, passionate, and who aren't afraid to experiment with new ideas. We've got a lot of projects in the pipeline, and I want the studio fully operational before the end of next month."

Sam jotted down a few notes, her mind racing as she considered the talent pool available in Sakura City. "Okay, so we're looking at a mix of recent graduates and experienced professionals for the core positions?"

"Yes," Theo confirmed. "RainX will be handling most of the development side of things, but we need fresh blood to fill in the gaps and make the studio run smoothly. And on top of that, I want you to hire a complete team for the company to operate like assistants, receptionists, janitors, and others. Also, I think we'll need the Umbrella's legal team to take care of things." Sam paused for a moment. "Sure, by the time the game company opens next month, the building will be fully operational. Don't worry, our legal team is available 24/7 to take care of things like that."

Theo chuckled. "True."

Sam smiled on the other end of the line. Theo always thought ten steps ahead, never content with just the present. "I'll get started on that right away. I'll have our marketing team work in promoting the studio as well."

"Perfect," Theo said, his voice full of confidence. "By the time April rolls around, I want Genesis fully operational."

"You've got it," Sam replied. "I'll make sure everything's in place before the end of the month. We'll be ready to hit the ground running."

Theo's smile returned. "Thanks, Sam. I knew I could count on you."

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Sam added, "I never imagined that I would one day work in managing a gaming company." She giggled, "Your own gaming studio. Your own games. How does it feel?"

Theo considered her question, his gaze drifting back to the skyline. "It's exciting, I feel so alive challenging myself with these projects, plus I have so many ideas for games that I barely can wait." He laughed as he remembered the games from his past life, "Genesis will help me do that, and the new hires will bring in fresh ideas. I'm sure we will build something special." "I agree," Sam said warmly. "This is just the beginning, and I can't wait to see what we accomplish."

Theo's fingers drummed lightly on the desk. He could already see the future-projects coming to life, teams collaborating to bring bold visions to fruition, and games that would leave an indelible mark on the industry. It was all within reach now.

"By the way," Sam added, her voice returning to a more businesslike tone. "Our legal team is almost finished with legal procedures of distribution to the majority of the countries for the upcoming anime streaming service."

"Really?" Theo asked with a happy smile. "That's great news! This means we are one step closer to distributing our animes to the whole world without depending on TV channels or other streaming services."

"Yes," Sam replied. "They assured me that they would finish their procedure before the end of the week, with that, theoretically we could already release the streaming service." Theo nodded. "That's true. But we should dutifully advertise the streaming service in all these countries, otherwise, no one will pay for it, and the tens of millions we invested will be for nothing."

Sam chuckled softly. "Don't worry, our marketing is already working on the promotional material for all these countries, they have been working on this for months already. They have a complete plan on how to maximize and reach more people in each country already." They exchanged a few more ideas about their upcoming streaming service for 10 minutes before Theo ended the call. He placed the phone on his desk and took a deep breath. The pieces were falling into place. RainX would soon be part of his studio, a fresh team of new hires would bolster their ranks, and Genesis Gaming Studio would be up and running before

April.

Plus, his anime streaming service was almost ready to launch.

It wasn't just a dream anymore-it was real. And soon, the world would know what Genesis was capable of.

Theo stood from his chair and walked over to the window, his mind already racing with ideas for their first few projects. The sunlight poured through the glass, illuminating his workspace as he looked out at the city below. He smiled to himself, feeling a sense of accomplishment, but also anticipation for the road ahead.

Genesis Gaming Studio was about to be born, and Theo couldn't wait to see what the future

holds.
