Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 147 Moving
After leaving the Economic Building, Xu Mu drove Shen Yuting to Xiang Sheng Century Plaza.

Xiang Sheng Century Plaza is not far from the Economic Building; it only takes three minutes to drive there.

Xu Mu parked the car in the charging area. After all, the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra's battery life was not good. Even in a small county town, it could only go about 300 kilometers, so Xu Mu needed to charge it from time to time.

This is the downside of performance cars.

After all, it has three motors, two V8 motors and one V6 motor, which is quite powerful!

Even high-performance cars costing millions don't have that kind of amazing power.

One thousand five hundred and forty-eight horsepower is no joke.

It's actually that exaggerated.

After charging the device, Xu Mu took Shen Yuting to the elevator and arrived at Rou Sanliang Barbecue on the fourth floor.

Xiang Sheng has two barbecue restaurants: one is Korean-style Jianglu Barbecue, and the other is Rou Sanliang.

The meat shop opened later, but its business is clearly much better than the Korean-style one.

The meat inside was pretty good.

Xu Mu and Shen Yuting walked into Rou Sanliang and then found a place to sit down.

"Let's see what you'd like to eat!"

"There are a lot of people around at this time, so I don't think we can get them to grill the meat for us!"

It's the second day of the National Day holiday, and the entire Xiang Sheng Century Plaza is packed with people.

That's how small towns are; the crowds are terrifying only during statutory holidays, especially at the buffet across the street. It's the only buffet in Xiang Sheng Century Plaza, and while the food is just average, it's always packed, especially on holidays when it's almost always full for lunch and dinner.

There is no room available.

The wait can be at least two hours.

But with a wait time of at least two hours, the staff still have to come out and shout...

That's an exaggeration!

All I can say is that they deserve to make that money!
Xu Mu wanted to invest in a buffet restaurant, but it required a lot of thought, and he had never considered starting a business, so naturally he couldn't do it.

This business is unlikely to succeed if it's just a simple investment.

Xu Mu felt that the reason why Rou Sanliang was good was because they could help grill the meat. If he grilled it himself, it would either be undercooked or too tough.

"so good!"

After the two ordered their food, the charcoal stove was quickly brought over.

Xu Mu looked at the Wagyu beef and chicken wings that were served, put them all on the grill, and then started grilling the meat.

However, there weren't many customers in the store today. Xu Mu tried a few things out and realized that she still needed to ask the waiter to come over, and she could just focus on eating.

Since Shen Yuting was sitting opposite him, Xu Mu couldn't easily play on his phone.

After all, he still has a lot of work to do, such as the relocation of the game company and the recruitment and listing of the law firm.

Liu Geng and others' law firm was specifically for Xu Mu.

To put it bluntly, it's just like a branch office in Tianji County. There's no need for an on-site office. As a lawyer, I mostly travel for work.

After having dinner with Shen Yuting, Xu Mu drove her back to Yangfan Parkview.

She now lives with Huang Yuehua, and the two of them are practically inseparable.

"correct!"

In the underground parking garage, Xu Mu looked at Shen Yuting in the passenger seat and said, "I'm planning to open a welfare home. Ask Grandma Huang if she still has this idea?"

"If she has any ideas, see if she'd be willing to go back and be the dean!"

Actually, it's quite good that Grandma Huang is cooking for the people in the company now, but Xu Mu has met Grandma Huang a few times and knows that Grandma Huang still wants to do something more meaningful.

She never married or had any children in her life. The children in the orphanage were her children. But now the children have grown up and the orphanage is gone. For Grandma Huang, this is a very memorable and sad thing.

But there are fewer children now.

Every family was well-off...

Therefore, cases of children being abandoned are rare.

Therefore, Xu Mu's establishment of this welfare home is, frankly speaking, just a publicity stunt, essentially a form of charity.

Of course, there are still impoverished villages in small counties. In a sense, these villages take in some children so that they can have a place to eat their fill.

It's called an orphanage, but it's no longer the orphanage it used to be!

"I'll go back and ask her!"

After listening to Xu Mu's words, Shen Yuting nodded slightly and then said, "Let's see if Grandma Huang is willing! But I don't think Grandma Huang will go back. What happened ten years ago still had a big impact on her!"

"Let's ask!"

Xu Mu gently kissed Shen Yuting's red lips, then watched her enter the elevator!
Xu Mu drove away.

Xu Mu's exercise time exceeded the limit for the day!

Xu Mu glanced at the time, thought for a moment, and then drove to Yangjiashan Villa.

After all, there were two girls waiting for him to favor at the Yangjiashan villa.

Xu Mu suddenly realized that she was quite busy every day.

It's like a gyroscope.

We arrived at Yangjiashan Villa.

The car that Tang Ruobing gave me last time is still parked in the garage.

"Brother Mu?"

Xu Mu parked the car and walked in through the back door of the garage.

Wang Ruofei and Wang Mengyan were watching TV in the living room when they were surprised to see Xu Mu return. "Why are you back?"

"I just finished my work and took Tingting home, and I was thinking of staying here tonight!"

Xu Mu smiled and explained, "The renovation of the Economic Building is almost complete, and all the necessary equipment is in place. Next, we just need to wait a few days to ventilate it and have the cleaning staff clean the office area."

"So fast?"

"The renovation went a bit too fast, didn't it?"

"After all, time is money. If the renovation isn't finished quickly, it will affect the development of Lingmu Design Company!"

"Besides, my own company needs its own office. I can't stay in the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel all the time, can I?"

The number of members in the game development team is also increasing, so we definitely need to move to a new location!
Moreover, half of the space on the thirteenth floor belongs to game companies.

The remaining entities are the law firm and Xu Mu's investment company.

"That's true!"

Wang Mengyan nodded gently, "Brother Mu, have some tea!"

Wang Mengyan stood up from the sofa and poured Xu Mu a cup of tea.

"Row!"

Even after the afternoon's battle ended, Xu Mu was still in a sage mode, so he didn't feel any strong desire when he saw the two girls' long legs.

The "wise man" mode is still quite long-lasting.

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Mu felt much more comfortable.

Xu Mu then took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Yu Miaomiao.

"The new office in the Economic Building is all renovated. I'll take you there to see it tomorrow, and you can move in and start working there tomorrow! I'll arrange for renovation workers and a car to take you there!"

"Please let us know in the group!"

"Okay, Mr. Xu!" Yu Miaomiao quickly replied to Xu Mu's message.

"Aren't you off work yet? You replied instantly?"

"Still working overtime at the company!" "We're trying to catch up on the schedule during the National Day holiday! President Xu gave us so much money, if we don't do a good job on the project, wouldn't we be letting him down?"

"There's no need to go through all that trouble!"

Xu Mu sent the message with a smile.

Afterwards, Xu Mu sent WeChat messages to Liu Geng and others.

They were told that the new office was ready and that they could come and take a look.

After finishing all that, Xu Mu sat on the sofa, embracing Wang Mengyan and Wang Ruofei on either side as they watched TV.

Around nine o'clock, the three of them finally went back to their bedroom to rest.

Tonight will naturally be another sleepless night.

It wasn't until after 1 a.m. that the three of them finally fell into a deep sleep!

The next day, Wang Mengyan and Wang Ruofei went out to film.

Xu Mu got up, drove his Wenjie M9, and headed to the Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel.

When they arrived at the conference room, they were packing their things.

"How's the packing going?"

"It will take another hour or so. Fortunately, there aren't many things, just some office computers and the like."

Upon seeing Xu Mu approach, Yu Miaomiao immediately reported this.

"Then wait a bit, I've already called the car, it's downstairs." Xu Mu waited in the office for a while.

How many people are there in the company now?

"Six people joined the team after the National Day holiday, and the team now has twenty-one members!"

“Yes, that’s fine.” Xu Mu thought for a moment. “The new office has sixty workstations.”

"Once this project is released, we'll continue developing it!"

Xu Mu looked at Yu Miaomiao and said, "I will provide you with two more games later!"

"In addition, I plan to acquire a game company and come over to direct you in developing some small games."

"understand!"

"Mr. Xu, don't we need to develop our own game?"

Because they were packing up, Yu Miaomiao had a rare opportunity to discuss the company's development with Xu Mu.

Although she is a professional manager, Xu Mulai still manages the company's overall direction.

Xu Mu said to develop the game according to his ideas, so we will develop it according to Xu Mu's ideas.

Moreover, the game content provided by Xu Mu truly won over these arrogant game developers and programmers.

This dog of a boss claims to not understand games, yet he immediately unleashes his ultimate move.

“Yes, we need it!” Xu Mu thought for a moment and said, “When the company grows bigger in the future, it will definitely be impossible for me to provide games alone. My energy is also limited. But I can guarantee that the games I give you will definitely be hits!”

"Then you will definitely need to recruit members from outside who specialize in game development, and build a team similar to Tencent, with a dedicated game studio!"

Xu Mu knew that Tencent was still very powerful.

They are very fast at developing their own games or copying games.

That's the allure of big companies.

Small companies like theirs can't even create original content as quickly as others copy it.

Currently, the most popular single-player game in China is Black Myth: Mario; the others haven't made much of a splash.

This is why mini-games are now rampant, with all sorts of reskinned games emerging to make money – it's because it's a quick way to earn cash.

Everyone is too restless and has no intention of focusing on making a good game.

Of course, there are those who seriously create content, such as the wildly popular Nezha this year, or the Black Myth released last year.

Truly exquisite content will be bought by both gamers and movie fans, but such ascetics are rare.

Xu Mu only launched this little game because he wanted to make money!
Mini-games are a quick way to make money!
We are all capital!

As capital, it should naturally do what capital is supposed to do.

The only thing Xu Mu did with a conscience was to pay his employees very high wages.

We will still provide the benefits that are due. To put it bluntly, it's like doing charity. After all, we make money, and our employees should also make money. We don't want to squeeze our employees' wages in order to make money.

Sometimes layoffs and pay cuts have nothing to do with the employees; it's mainly because the company is incompetent and doesn't provide enough protection for its employees.

“In that case, we’ll have to recruit more.” Yu Miaomiao thought for a moment. A large team like Tencent has at least a hundred people. They need salons every day. Tencent’s culture is very powerful, at least in the gaming industry.

"Don't rush into hiring, let's focus on developing and releasing this game first!"

"I've already taken care of all the licenses and stuff through Harvest Venture Capital. We acquired a lousy game company. If this little game makes money, then you can hire as many people as you want!"

Making money from games means the company has cash flow.

Because Xu Mu's game was independently developed, there are no cash flow issues, and he can receive money directly.

Top-ups are credited instantly!
Just imagine how outrageous that is?

For example, Endless Winter, a project with an annual turnover of over 10 billion, is still quite extravagant.

This money is pure profit.

It is said that each of the employees who developed this game received a commission of one million.

"Row!"

While the two were chatting, Xu Mu called Wan Cheng again.

"Mr. Wan, are you busy?"

“Niu Ma just got to work!” Wan Cheng answered the phone, chuckled, and said, “President Xu, what made you decide to call me?”

How's your game company doing?

When will the game be released? I'm definitely going to download and play it as soon as it's released!

"Then remember to top up your account!" Xu Mu laughed heartily, "I just want you to help me recruit some more people!"

"Employees with game development skills."

"Is Mr. Xu really planning to seriously make games?" Wan Cheng thought Xu Mu was just playing around. He only recruited more than a dozen game team members for him because the money was good. But he didn't expect Xu Mu to recruit people again.
"Doesn't Yu Miaomiao have connections?"

"Mr. Yu's connections are definitely not as extensive as yours! Heidegger is a listed company, and you're the number one headhunting firm in the entire country!" Xu Mu praised Wan Cheng, then said, "You can just contact Mr. Yu directly! I'll let you know!"

"OK!"

"When are you coming to Kyoto, Mr. Xu? I heard you say you were coming to Kyoto last time, but I haven't seen you come."

"I don't have time! I'll definitely come to Kyoto to visit you when I have time!"

"Row!"

hang up the phone.

Xu Mu waited a while longer, and the area was almost ready.

Xu Mu led everyone out of the conference room, loading their bags and packages into the car.

The minibuses then proceeded in a large procession to the Economic Building.

Upon arriving at the economic building, Xu Mu arranged for workers to carry all the equipment upstairs.

Because it was a temporary office space, they didn't buy much; it was basically just computers.

The tables and chairs were all provided by Kaiyuan Taihe.

So we need to bring some of our cooking utensils.

After taking the elevator to the thirteenth floor, Xu Mu pointed to the office area on the right side of the elevator, which did not have a company sign, and said, "Take a look at your new space!"
