The System In My Head

Hollywood Style

Sitting in the computer lab, Ben reads the options on the monitor. 'I still have to choose well or I won't win, even if I verbally burn my enemies into cremation ...'

Without a clear direction, he decided to follow a tried and tested Hollywood style ...

...

However, when he looked at Professor Tremblay's serious demeanor, he understood that the approach would make him quickly fail. 'Movies, television, and music make a lot of money without thinking much, right? I should have been able to do well with that niche, because the box office made half a billion for 50 Shades of Dog..'

...

Ben knew it was a major industry related to the media, so he was sure it wasn't a bad choice. 'I'll be fine as long as I avoid doing anything too 'genuine', like remaking a classic movie like Ghostbusters with an all-female cast...'

...

After all, literature and other segments seem uninteresting. 'I mean almost all writers are farmers until their work is adapted to the big screen.every reader knows that...'

...

'So that leaves the field of popular media, but which one should I choose?' Ben deliberated for a few minutes. 'Can't let go of the movie, a lot of revenue there. Television also makes a lot of money, so it cannot be left alone. Music also has a big cake; I would be foolish to let competing groups eat it alone.'

After a few minutes, Ben chose what he considered a safe approach by dividing his company's focus among film, television, and music. He thought it couldn't possibly be wrong because many media companies had diverse clients, as far as he knew. Then, he perfected some small settings in the game and finalized his selection. 'It has to be done. Tomorrow, there is a high chance that I will lead!'

***

Next day...

'How are we in last place?!?'

...

Ben once again sits in the computer room with the petite, reserved Charlotte by his side. However, his mood was much worse today. As his hand gripped the black plastic mouse, he resisted the urge to throw it across the room. 1/7 day of competition had passed, but when he saw the position of his team, he was not optimistic: the: 10 Out of 10 groups. Dead last.

Ben doesn't understand how this happened. 'I didn't wake up so why did I go broke?!?

...

It was only when he observed the choices of the other groups that he discovered the problem: too many groups thought the same as him. They also invest in popular industries, but their performance is better by focusing on one or two. Meanwhile, the company is spread across 3 segments. This led to a lack of focus on his brand, which led to rival companies silencing him. He's getting stiff...

Looking at the screen, Charlotte's hand also tightened her grip on her skirt. 'Does he really know what he's doing?' Ben entered with such confidence yesterday that he believed his rhetoric, thinking his confidence had a basis. It's a pity that he's never met before ...

Ben sighed. 'It seems I can't win this through the power of hot blood and friendship ...'

Apart from a terrible start, there is one good point about the final day: Ben learns all the material he missed from this class, chasing the others. He gave more focus to this course than any other, allowing him to make up for everything he had missed over the past two weeks. It helped him understand the problem in his tactics. The choice to divide between the 3 segments yesterday is wrong. As a small company, they need to centralize brand positioning.

However, knowing his mistake beforehand would not solve his current predicament. 'If I had focused on one segment yesterday, it would have been good, but the other groups have done similar things and are now 2 laps ahead. If I follow that strategy now, I won't win. The other teams had the same idea as me yesterday, but they did it better, leading to a bad situation at the moment...'

He stared at the results from the computer screen, trying to find something... It was then that he saw most teams almost score, suggesting that they were unlikely to change course today. 'I doubt they will leave their segment anytime soon. What can I do?'

The only open niche is the company, as the opposing group focuses on more popular segments such as movies. "Obviously they concluded that media-related niches have the highest profit potential, as I do." Ben shook his head, not seeing a way out for himself...

'Wait...' That's when he realized something. 'They think like me. ' he repeated to himself. 'Then doesn't that apply to the company as well?'

The company is not attractive because it has the lowest initial income. It could earn more in the future, but no one knew how long it would take. Choosing it early would be a complete problem in the dark.A VERY high-risk maneuver...

'Rival teams also chose high glam segments ... Reasonable, people like to stick with what they know. Companies are so boring and far from the lives of young people like us. It has no intrinsic appeal...' But Ben saw something different. 'You could say some older women don't have intrinsic attractiveness, that is, until you find out that they are rich!'

...

Ben applying dao of sugar mommies...

He read about the company during his studies. That is the most boring part of the textbook that most students cover. The reality, however, is that among the segments, the company has great potential and can be the most profitable! The problem is that it takes a long time for corporate clients to feel secure in hiring a growing business.

However, if there is only one company competing for their business! Ben believes there is likely no one yet aware of this, and that they are still focusing on the negative aspects of more prominent niches.

With this in mind, he came up with a solid strategy. 'Even though I was 2 laps behind, 12 were still left. Long enough for me to win this, and I know how. If I can finish the rest of the game without anyone else jumping over my sugar company...'

Ben would gain victory from the jaws of a personified woman, very old, very rich ...

...

But he will lose if he becomes a double team ...

...

Or even worse ... ...

...

Visualizing a twisted version of success .. he nodded. 'Right now, I doubt the other group will switch since no one but me is left far behind. As for later, it will be a challenge, but it will also be the most pleasant for me, as I will start the evil stage deuce of my plan .. no mercy, broom leg ...'

With tactics developed, Ben made his choice. After he finished, he looked towards the quiet Charlotte, who had only been paying attention to him all along. It made Ben feel a sense of gratitude. 'This girl has to really believe in me. He always sat behind me, quietly supporting me...'

Charlotte blinked as she stared at their last spot on the screen. 'Are we going to fail because of this fool?'

...

Ben gave her a convincing look. "Daijobu..."

...

He tilted his head in confusion.

He's coughing. "I mean ... This is fine ..."

...

It was a Japanese version of the meme...

After the round was over, Ben's mind relaxed. "We'll see the results tomorrow." For now, he will rule out the competition because tonight he has a more pressing issue.—date with Katie.

He stared at the wall as a smile spread across his face, recalling their last date together, and the epic...

Seeing this, Charlotte turned her chair back and frowned. 'There's another perverted expression... Why does he look like he's getting something???
