Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 205: Lu Yao's Big Spending (6k Subscription Request)

When Mr. Ren decided that Yao Qiguang was out, Yao Qiguang actually finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Finally out…”

Or rather, he was never in the game at all, but was just a cannon fodder to be sacrificed by the situation, just like when Vice President Tang of Penguin Group found him and hoped that he could consider the overall situation.

Ha ha.

They handed the reorganized game development studio into their own hands and gave themselves the title of studio president, which was actually just a ring to bind themselves.

In order to live up to the title he holds, Yao Qiangguang has really paid a lot, including his youth, energy, and even his body.

But all he got was the ridicule from Chen Yu, the president of Guangliang Studio.

Now that all the shackles were gone, Yao Qiguang felt unprecedented relief.

Not long after Yao Qiguang submitted his resignation, his resignation procedures began to be processed. Normally speaking, the handover period for Yao Qiguang's level is three months, because Yao Qiguang's "Timi Studio" is responsible for quite a few game projects.

But on the third day after the resignation procedure started, the Interactive Entertainment Group had already decided who would replace Yao Qiguang.

The person who will replace Yao Qiguang is Wang Xiaoyong, who comes from the Penguin family and is also responsible for many businesses in the interactive entertainment group. Wang Xiaoyong is in Timi Studio and is familiar with most of the businesses and is very capable.

He took over the position of president of Timi Studio, and everyone in the studio was convinced, and the management of the interactive entertainment business group had no objection.

Seeing that his successor was decided so quickly, Yao Qiguang still felt a little uneasy. Perhaps... his resignation process would not need to take three months, one month might be enough.

After this year's Spring Festival, he may leave the park where he has worked for ten years.

People always like to give souls to soulless things, just like this green but unintimate park. Originally, there was nothing special about the park, but because Yao Qiguang has been here for ten years, he has developed extraordinary feelings for this place.

But he also understands that the longer he stays in the wrong place, the greater the sunk costs.

……

Years ago, I went south.

After returning from Shenzhen, Lu Yao quickly got information about Penguin's internal channels from Gan Xiaoxi. Yao Qiangguang, who was in charge of Timi Studio, was already going through the resignation process.

Moreover, the news has spread within the Interactive Entertainment Group that Yao Qiguang's non-compete agreement compensation after his resignation will be much higher. At the same time, the options and shares he holds in various games under Penguin will also be repurchased by Penguin.

It is said that Yao Qiguang can cash out about 50 million yuan from this resignation, which means he has achieved financial freedom.

There are people in the Penguin Park who envy Yao Qiguang, but there are also people who think Yao Qiguang is stupid.

Because Yao Qiguang's current position is actually just one step away from the position of head of the interactive entertainment business group. Once he becomes a mid-level executive, employees can not only obtain shares in the projects under their control, but also directly obtain shares in the Penguin Group.

The current market value of Penguin Group is already very high. Even if just a little bit of its market value of over 100 billion US dollars leaks out, it would be a small target level of wealth.

In other words, as long as Yao Qiguang grits his teeth and continues to climb up, he will be able to obtain shares in the Penguin Group and his wealth will at least increase several times.

But those who really have background in the interactive entertainment group will only think that those who think that way are the stupidest.

How difficult is it for a large group like Penguin to climb up?
Just being the president of a game development studio under the Interactive Entertainment Business Group is already the ceiling for people in the outside game development industry. As for becoming the management of the six major business groups, that is basically the ceiling for people in the workplace.

Not everyone can climb to such a ceiling. If Yao Qiangguang didn't have an incredible record, he wouldn't be able to reach it even after retirement.

wrong.

Yao Qiangguang’s health would not allow him to live until retirement.

His back with a cane has almost become a unique landscape in the Penguin Park. Many people are curious about why a cripple can take on the responsibility of being the president of a game development studio.

Now, they are no longer curious.

Because Yao Qiguang is leaving.

Unfortunately, the position vacated by Yao Qiguang was quickly replaced by a successor, which made those who had originally been interested but had not had time to react sigh with regret.

At the Penguin campus, employees privately discussed the resignation of a president, but the news did not cause any particular stir in the outside world. In their eyes now, Yao Qiangguang's performance at Penguin was not particularly outstanding.

It is perfectly normal for a middle-aged man who is almost 40 and in poor health to resign from an Internet company.

Only Lu Yao, who had activated the future perspective plug-in, understood how important a threat he had eliminated and how powerful a capable general he had gained.

and so.

In Lu Yao's value calculation system, this does not mean that Penguin has lost an important boost to its future.

But while the Penguin lost an important future helper, it also gave Lu Yao a big gift. This subtraction and increase is not as simple as 1+1.

Although he breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Yao did not completely relax.

As long as Yao Qiguang doesn't go to Shangnan, it means that Lu Yao has not put his money in pocket. However, as the end of the year is approaching, the minds of people in the entire Dongguo country have begun to wander. No matter how successful a person is, he will occasionally take a break and think about how to spend the Spring Festival this year.

Even if they are working overtime at the company, they will think of calling their family and friends to wish them a happy new year.

Lu Yao has also begun preparing for this year's annual meeting.

At first, Zhu Junyan's idea was to find a spacious manor and move several companies under Lu Yao's name there to hold the annual meeting so that everyone could have a good time together.

But having too many people can cause trouble, and the nature of the two companies is quite different, so Lu Yao decided to hold the annual meeting separately.

Just like last year’s annual meeting, the MCN company, voice chat platform and QQ online store held their annual meeting together. Since there were fewer people on the QQ online store side, it was simply merged in.

The reason why MCN and voice chat platforms are together is that many anchors and internet celebrities of MCN companies are poached from voice chat platforms.

This time, a party will be specially held for the MCN company and the voice chat platform, and there will also be a red carpet walk at the party.

MCN and voice chat software are companies that need exposure. The more fancy and grand the annual meeting is, the better. This is just like how WeChat businessmen like to rent Ferraris and Maybachs to take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.

For those who are in the traffic field, the more exaggerated the better.

Therefore, Lu Yao chose February 2th as the date for the annual meeting of MCN and voice chat platform.

As the domestic living standards improve and the Internet becomes more developed, businesses have begun to frantically create a so-called "festival atmosphere" on major platforms to attract young lovers.

所以每年的2月14，七夕，甚至后来的3月8号，3月14都被商家包装成了节日。

When this time comes, hotels across the country will be so fully booked that no rooms can be booked, and flower shops and gift shops offline and online will be packed with customers.

Therefore, February 2 is a day with natural traffic, and it is also a good day for MCN companies and voice chat platforms to do publicity. Lu Yao is going to hold one in Shangnan - "Shangnan Brilliant Night"!
Compared with the grand MCN companies and voice chat platforms, the annual meeting of Guangan Online Game Company is much simpler and low-key.

The date chosen was an ordinary day, February 2th.

But Lu Yao will definitely give Guangan Network’s employees an unforgettable annual meeting.

Lu Yao was very busy with the annual meeting and his schedule was very tight. Rong Nianqing's annual meeting was also very tight. Rong Nianqing even called Lu Yao specially.

Rong Nianqing asked on the phone: "There will be an annual meeting of Huasheng Life Plaza on February 2 before the New Year. I called to inform you. I will ask Liu Mulin to pick you up at that time."

Lu Yao was a little confused: "Ah? I also have an annual meeting that day."

Rong Nianqing was a little unhappy on the phone at the time: "Why didn't you inform me about the annual meeting? Don't you know that you are a major shareholder of Huasheng Life? Don't you want to come to my place to attend the annual meeting?"

The three fatal questions made Lu Yao sweat on his forehead.

Once Rong Nianqing, who doesn't usually lose her temper, starts to lose her temper, it means the situation is really serious, so Lu Yao immediately said on the phone: "Boss Rong invited me to come, so of course I will go! I will change the time of the annual meeting right now!"

After being coaxed by Lu Yao, Rong Nianqing realized that she had lost her composure a little, but she was still coaxed into being happy.

No one likes to be ignored. It is a very happy thing to be cared for by the people who care about you.

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Then I will pick you up in person on the 12th."

After ending the call with Rong Nianqing, Lu Yao immediately notified Guangan Network to move up the annual meeting to February 2th.

It was not until this time that he realized what it meant to be busy during the Chinese New Year. The higher you stand and the more energy you have, the busier you will be during the Chinese New Year. The people below you are busy giving gifts to the people above you and building relationships with them, and the people above you have to take time out to greet them in order to win over the people below you.

One thing after another filled Lu Yao's schedule during this period before the New Year.

After almost arranging everything, Lu Yao finally returned to Sister Wang's apartment, exhausted.

It's almost the end of the year, and Shangnan is decorated with lights everywhere. There is a shopping mall right below the apartment where Sister Wang and Lu Yao live, so the atmosphere of the New Year is at its peak. The area around the shopping mall is filled with red lanterns, Chinese knots and all kinds of colorful lights.

Every day, nearby residents come to the mall to buy New Year's goods.

On the way back to the apartment, when Lu Yao got out of the car and passed by the shopping mall, he saw groups of parents and children in the mall, and he felt a little emotional.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again.

Fortunately, Lu Yao had a fulfilling year and was satisfied with the results he achieved.

Everything will be better.

……

When Lu Yao returned to the apartment and opened the door, he saw Sister Wang busying around in her home clothes. He took a quick glance and found that Sister Wang had hung a blessing knot on the inside of her door. The windows of the house were also covered with red colored paper with the word "Fu". Even the chandeliers, floor lamps and the doors of some rooms in the house were covered with festive couplets and the word "Fu".

Lu Yao took off his coat and asked with a smile, "Is your family so festive? Are you celebrating the New Year in advance?"

Sister Wang got down from the chair. She looked at the "Persimmon Ruyi" pendant carved from warm yellow Tianhuang stone hanging under the chandelier and smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, we are celebrating the New Year in advance."

As she spoke, she came up to Lu Yao and looked at him apologetically: "I still have to go to New Zealand for the Chinese New Year this year. I can't spend the New Year with you, or even Valentine's Day with you."

She knew that Lu Yao had a plan for a "Shangnan Brilliant Night" on Valentine's Day this year.

Normally she should go with him.

But she wants time to go abroad to spend the New Year with her parents.

Every time Sister Wang looked at the calendar, she felt a little annoyed. What was going on? Why was the Spring Festival so close to people's birthdays this year?
However, Lu Yao doesn't care much about this. Not only Wang Shu is going abroad before the New Year, but Jian Xiaojie is also going out before the New Year, and so is Monia; Rong Nianqing and Gan Xiaoxi will go back to spend the New Year with their family after the Huasheng Life Annual Meeting.

Especially this year the situation is rather unusual, and going back to celebrate the New Year is not just a simple matter.

But Lu Yao is no longer the Lu Yao of last year.

Now he has many people in Shangnan who can spend the New Year with him, such as the Fu Chengcheng sisters, Lin Yongzhen, boss Chen Xing, Zhou Bella... If he asks, Cheng Xinyu will not hesitate to turn down the plan to go home for the New Year.

In Cheng Xinyu's view, this was a task assigned to her by her boss.

However, Lu Yao also understood that Sister Wang was not worried that Lu Yao would be sad spending the New Year alone, but was sad because she could not accompany Lu Yao through these holidays, so she wanted to make up for it in advance.

Lu Yao hugged Sister Wang's slender waist and said with a smile: "I've been here all the time, I'll wait for you to come back."

Sister Wang's heart was immediately filled with Lu Yao, and her pair of watery and mature eyes gradually became thinner. In the newly decorated apartment, in the joyous atmosphere before the New Year, Sister Wang consciously began to acquire equipment, and then did her best to compensate Lu Yao.

Ever since Sister Wang played games with Jian Xiaojie and Lu Yao, she gradually opened up her heart.

Then Lu Yao discovered that Sister Wang seemed to have opened some kind of restrictions. The sword moves she had learned seemed to be infused with sword intent, and ordinary moves gradually had the power to turn decay into magic.

……

The day of the Guang'an Online Game Annual Conference soon arrived in the busyness.

The specific process of the annual meeting was arranged by Zhu Junyan and others. When you have played enough and reached a certain level, playing itself becomes a skill.

Even "playing" itself is something that requires learning and even has a high threshold.

When Lu Yao was studying abroad in the future, he also saw some people who suddenly became rich, such as the second generation of demolition tycoons and the second generation of coal miners. These people are very rich, but it is not certain whether they are good at having fun.

The ways of playing for this group of people are just eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. In the process of doing these things, they will be severely harvested by the sickles that are stretched out from all directions.

A second-generation demolition tycoon whom Lu Yao knew was emptied out by a gold digger, helping society to achieve wealth redistribution.

Players like Zhu Junyan are very popular in the circle, because by following Zhu Junyan they can become brainless human machines and just follow him for fun.

However, since following Lu Yao, Zhu Junyan seldom went out to play on his own, and the resources he had accumulated in this area became a powerful tool to help the company's public relations operations and maintenance.

The annual meeting venue arranged by Zhu Junyan is on the top floor of Shangnan Century Kaimao Hotel. Because Guangan Network has achieved very good performance and results in the past six months, Lu Yao is also willing to spend money on the annual meeting.

All arrangements for the annual meeting are made according to high standards.

of course.

Given Zhu Junyan’s fame and circle in Shangnan, Century Kaimao Hotel gave the top floor to Zhu Junyan at almost half the price, with the main purpose of “making friends”.

The annual meeting funds obtained from Lu Yao were mainly used for catering and programs for the annual meeting.

of course.

Zhu Junyan did not arrange any celebrities for the show. Usually, only when the daughter or master of a wealthy family has a birthday, will they invite celebrities to come and show their support, because the daughters or masters have a filter for those people.

But an old hand like Zhu Junyan would not waste his money on this. He has other plans in this regard.

In the lively and festive atmosphere, Lu Yaoxian clinked glasses with the management of Guangan Network and some key technical employees and drank some wine. After a round of drinks, the atmosphere of the annual meeting gradually became lively.

Lu Yao didn't put on any airs at this time, so everyone was in a very relaxed and comfortable state.

After three rounds of drinks, when everyone was in high spirits, Lu Yao had someone push over a long cart covered with red silk cloth, which looked festive and mysterious.

But in fact, the Guang'an Network employees who had heard about it long ago already knew what it was.

So after drinking a few glasses of wine, the big guys' eyes gradually became redder, and their scorching hot gazes fell on the long red cart, as if they wanted to set that piece of red silk cloth on fire.

Under everyone's burning gaze, Lu Yao came to the front of the long cart with a microphone in his hand and said humorously: "Now, everyone's favorite program tonight is here. Guess what's under this red cloth? Is it hard to guess?"

Everybody burst into laughter.

Yes, it’s very hard to guess. Could there be stacks of banknotes piled up like a brick wall underneath?

Lu Yao did not keep the audience in suspense. He directly pulled open the red silk cloth, revealing the pink banknotes underneath. Suddenly, everyone felt as if the entire banquet hall had become brighter.

Obviously, those special dull paper money couldn't possibly glow, but they just felt as if there was an infinite amount of light bursting out from that pile of banknotes.

Under the shock of the piles of banknotes, there was a sound of people gasping for air in the banquet hall.

Many people's expressions were even the same as Shen Teng's expression when he first saw piles of money in "The Richest Man in Xihong City". They just fell into their chairs in a daze.

Mommy~
That’s a lot of money!

Lu Yao came to the pile of money, picked up a stack of bills and said, "Our game company has made a lot of money this year. I would like to especially praise the "Shoot" project team. They really worked very hard!"

"It is their hard work that has created so much for us! It is also their hard work that has enabled me to share so much money with you all."

Lv Yao led the applause and said, "Let's give our applause to all members of the "Shoot the Shot" project team!"

There was thunderous applause at the scene.

The applause was so warm and lasted for a long time.

As expected, the most direct and wonderful way to express emotions is to throw money around. Lu Yao could see that everyone's expression at the scene was one of genuine joy and happiness.

Lu Yao raised his hand several times to suppress the applause.

He picked up the microphone again and said, "As for this year's year-end bonus, the "Shoot the Shot" project team is naturally the top contributor, so the year-end bonus for the "Shoot the Shot" project team is guaranteed to be at least 300,000 yuan!"

The employees of the "Shoot a Shot" project team cheered immediately.

Then Lu Yao announced: "Except for the "Shoot" project team, the projects of other project teams have not yet been launched. Naturally, there is no money to be made if the projects are not launched, but don't worry, you still have your year-end bonus here! One hundred thousand per person!"

Applause broke out again at the scene. Employees from other project teams were excited but also felt a little guilty, as it felt like they were stealing the fruits of other people's labor.

Lv Yao suppressed the applause again and said: "But I want to make it clear that this money was given to everyone by the "Shoot the She" project team, not by me, Lv Yao. I also hope that the "Shoot the She" project team will not mind this, or even blame me~"

His words made everyone laugh again.

Lu Yao continued with the microphone: "We are from the same company. Different project teams have different project life cycles. We all understand that nothing lasts forever."

“So if other project teams make money in the future, don’t forget the brothers who are ahead of us, and don’t be stingy when it comes to distributing bonuses at the end of the year!”

Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu! We brothers know everything!"

Lu Yao slapped the hard pile of banknotes and said, "Then I won't talk nonsense anymore——"

“Share the money!!”

The scene suddenly broke out into cheers, and the noisy sound penetrated the floors directly and was transmitted to the floors below. Those who were not paying attention thought that the building was shaking.

This time, Lu Yao distributed more than half of the 60 million gross profit earned by "Shoot Them" in the past six months, but seeing the boosted morale, Lu Yao felt it was worth it.

Only with sufficient cohesion and centripetal force can Guangan Network have strong enough combat effectiveness in next year's decisive battle.

Once he gains a foothold, a market worth hundreds of billions will be waiting for him.

Compared with a market worth hundreds of billions, the 30 million or so spent is just a drop in the bucket.

After Lu Yao finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Chen Li and asked Chen Li to help divide the money.

One stack of banknotes is one hundred thousand, and the minimum year-end bonus of one hundred thousand is ten stacks of banknotes. These ten stacks of banknotes are heavy in the hands, but when people from other project teams saw that the people from the "Shoot" project team were holding dozens or even hundreds of stacks of banknotes, their eyes immediately turned red.

Endless fighting spirit surged in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to rush back to speed up the project progress. They wanted to polish the project in their hands and launch it online as soon as possible, so that they could hold piles of money like them next year.

The high morale and fighting spirit were so obvious that under such strong self-motivation, many people not only had red eyes, but also their body temperatures rose sharply, making their faces red.

The temperature in the banquet hall that accommodated hundreds of people began to rise rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yao was surprised and happy.

What surprised him was that the fighting spirit and fighting will could actually be felt and seen.

I am happy because his lavish spending has really played a good motivating role - this time, morale is high!
