Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Moving!

Zhao Haiquan thought more and more that Zhou Yang had a valid point.

While admiring President Gu even more, he also scorned President Li even more.

Indeed, investors are all the same!

Offering just a little favor and expecting to win people’s hearts? Moreover, even presenting offerings that aren’t their own!

It’s like, shearing a sheep bare and making a wool sweater from some of the fleece to clothe the sheep, then hypocritically saying, "You need to keep warm."

I need to keep warm my ass!

"It seems we must unite in our thinking!

"President Li initially ignored us, but now she’s begun presenting offerings that aren’t even hers. What does that tell us? It indicates that President Li has vaguely realized that we are closely rallied around President Gu, and she’s starting to try to win us over!

"We must stay clear-headed and not be tempted by these little favors, and we must stand even more firmly with President Gu!" Zhao Haiquan’s gaze was resolute.

Zhou Yang nodded, "Right, that’s exactly what I mean!

"Tomorrow at work, we need to share this conclusion with our colleagues, just in case someone doesn’t see the situation clearly. That would be unacceptable!

"Our Nitian Paradise Company’s game must be solid as a rock, closely rallied around President Gu!"

...

Meanwhile, in Magic Capital.

Shengjing Network Technology Co., Ltd., gaming division.

Shengjing Group is one of the country’s top internet technology companies, and their gaming business also occupies a significant position in the group’s financial reports.

At present, Kang Yong, the deputy general manager in charge of the gaming division, was seriously examining the spreadsheet in his hand.

This was a schedule arrangement chart, mainly outlining the travel itinerary for the backbone staff of the group’s game projects to visit and exchange in Capital City.

As a top internet technology company in the country, Shengjing Group offered excellent benefits and paid great attention to inspection and exchange activities.

Every year, Shengjing Group would select core members from various projects to form a team and visit outstanding companies nationwide to inspect and learn.

This year, the city chosen by the gaming division was Capital City.

Besides, on Kang Yong’s desk, there was another chart, which was the list of personnel for this inspection and exchange.

These were mainly middle managers of various game project teams, such as chief planners, operations managers, lead programmers, art directors, and so on.

Looking at the list in his hand, Kang Yong’s brow furrowed as he pointed at the "optional" section at the bottom, "Little Zhao, what company is Nitian Paradise? I don’t seem to have heard of this company."

Standing beside him was a tall male assistant wearing glasses, surnamed Zhao, and he was also one of the main planners of this event.

"President Kang, this is a startup company that was established just last year. Although they haven’t developed any super-large game projects and still mainly focus on small independent games and single-player games, practically every game they’ve released has been a success.

"Recently, two of the more famous games are ’Prometheus’ and ’City of the Abandoned Gods.’

"Additionally, games they released earlier, such as ’Sisyphus’ and ’Destiny of the Sleeping Dragon,’ also achieved significant popularity online.

"I think this company is quite typical, which is why I included it as an optional choice."

There were two types of companies on the list to inspect: mandatory and optional.

The so-called mandatory choices are basically large companies that can accommodate the entire team for visits.

The optional ones, however, are relatively smaller companies, mostly unable to host the entire inspection team at once, so the team would divide into smaller groups, choosing the appropriate companies for inspection based on personal interest.

However, even the smaller companies must have certain achievements and characteristics to be worth inspecting.

Kang Yong frowned, it was clear that, although he had a vague recollection of the games Assistant Zhao mentioned and had heard of them, he hadn’t paid much attention to them.

As an executive of such a top and sizable group company, Kang Yong was very busy and couldn’t possibly keep up with all the information in the gaming industry all the time. He only had time to experience it when there were super hit games.

Furthermore, from a financial standpoint, these games weren’t particularly outstanding. Profits in the millions or tens of millions were insignificant in the eyes of a behemoth like Shengjing Group.

"Cross this company off the list, there’s no value in inspecting it," Kang Yong said, passing the list back.

Assistant Zhao took the list, but after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke up, "President Kang, I actually think this company is the most valuable for inspection among the smaller companies.

"Because... this company is very mysterious."

Kang Yong’s eyebrows raised, "Oh? How exactly is it mysterious?"

Assistant Zhao explained, "I spent some time researching this company and its most mysterious aspects mainly consist of three points.

"Firstly, it is said that the company’s compensation is poor; they don’t even have a proper office, and the staff work in coffee shops. Moreover, it is believed that the salary levels of the employees are generally at seventy to eighty percent of what other companies offer."

Kang Yong shook his head slightly, "What’s so strange about that? There are plenty of small companies with poor compensation out there; the boss doesn’t have the funds to offer better terms, that’s all."

Assistant Zhao continued, "Yes, but that’s not the point.

"The point is, secondly, after the company’s games started making profits, several firms have offered to double the salary to poach their employees! But without exception, they all failed!

"The staff of this company seem as if they’ve made up their minds, determined to work there and not planning to move on at all.

"Third, it’s said that the management level of this company is very high. Employees often work overtime at night and on holidays, but there aren’t many complaints; in fact, they always seem to complete development tasks ahead of schedule."

At this, Kang Yong finally grew interested.

"Is it a family business?"

Assistant Zhao shook his head, "Not sure, it doesn’t seem like it."

With a thoughtful look, Kang Yong said, "So you’re saying the company’s owner is a top-notch manager?

"He must have some unique aspects in terms of corporate culture construction, employee management, and the development of a spiritual culture?

"Otherwise, why would these employees, even while receiving minimal salaries, loyally follow him? It must be that his pie-drawing skills are very adept!"

Assistant Zhao nodded, "That’s what I also think.

"Although I don’t know the specific management methods this owner has used, I believe that there certainly are some aspects worth learning."

After some thought, Kang Yong finally nodded, "Okay, let’s keep that one.

"When I get to the Capital City, I’ll also take a look and see who exactly this company’s owner is!"

...

...

October 14th, Monday.

After more than two months of preparation, Nitian Paradise Company’s game division officially began moving!

This plan had been in place since before the development of ’City of the Abandoned Gods’ began, and the company’s employees unanimously passed Xiao Mingyu’s proposal to move to the villa area at the end of the West Suburb Line.

Over the next two months, Xiao Mingyu had been scouting for suitable locations.

Of course, for the sake of prudence, she also looked at other villa areas, but after weighing the options repeatedly, she still found the villas on the West Suburb Line more suitable.

The environment was better, the houses newer, the subway relatively less crowded, and there was a good number of suitable housing options available.

The largest villa had a floor space of about 500 square meters, with a monthly rent of 60,000 yuan.

Currently, Nitian Paradise Company’s game division had 10 employees. For the next recruitment, Gu Fan planned to double the company’s staff to 20.

Although having more employees would result in less bonus for each individual, more hands meant that Nitian Paradise could develop bigger games, shorten project timelines, and work on multiple projects at once.

By hiring more staff and enlarging the cake, the sum of money each person could get would also increase.

Therefore, the company’s people did not resist this idea.

Of course, Gu Fan wouldn’t expand recklessly. For him, maintaining Nitian Paradise’s combat effectiveness was all about elitism. It was okay for employees to slack off sometimes, but when it was crucial, they had to stand out.

For the employees’ accommodation, the company offered two solutions.

The first option was to live in a villa.

Nitian Paradise Company rented five villas, one of which was for Gu Fan himself, and the rest were for the employees.

Each villa had four bedrooms and could house four employees, each paying 7,000 yuan out of pocket for the rent.

Considering the monthly rent of 60,000 yuan per villa, this meant that the company and the employees were splitting the cost.

The second option was for employees to find their own housing in nearby residential areas.

The monthly rent for a 100-square-meter, two-bedroom apartment in the area was also around 7,000 yuan.

At first glance, renting on one’s own seems more economical, for the same amount of money you’d only get a single room in a villa, while you could rent a whole two-bedroom apartment elsewhere.

But in reality, living in a villa meant the company helped shoulder half of the rent. Plus, the 500-square-meter villas, averaged between four people, provided each person about 120 square meters of space, and the villa area’s living environment was far superior to that of ordinary residential complexes.

Considering the current level of salaries and bonuses, most people chose to live in a villa.

After this round of recruitment, Nitian Paradise Company’s staff would expand to 20 people. Once recruitment was completed, Gu Fan would consider whether to rent more villas.

If more people opted to live in regular residential complexes by then, there would be no need for additional villas, but if everyone preferred a villa, another one would be rented.

...

In the evening.

After a busy day, Gu Fan had almost finished moving his things from his previous home.

As the boss of Nitian Paradise, it was only natural for Gu Fan to have a villa all to himself.

Actually, Gu Fan didn’t really care much about his living environment, and it would’ve been fine to share with others, but he needed some private space for sensitive conversations with Lilith without outsiders overhearing.

It had to be said, the living environment had significantly improved.

The villa’s living room featured a double-height ceiling, and the large couch paired with an almost 100-inch TV always brought pleasure to body and mind.

At 6 o’clock, Lilith refreshed on time.

She rummaged through the new snack shelf and, contentedly, grabbed two bags of potato chips before lying down on the massage chair.
