Rebirth 08: Can a mobile game company also build a tech empire?

Chapter 52 Celebration

"Three hundred and forty-four thousand seventy-eight units!"

"What?!"

"How many?!"

"Three hundred and forty thousand?!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.

Even Lu Chen was stunned.

He knew sales would be great.

But I didn't expect it to be this good!

Susie continued reading:

"Daily sales exceed 12,000 units! 140,000 units online and 200,000 units offline!"

Susie looked up, her eyes sparkling:

"Based on an average selling price of 930 yuan, our revenue this month exceeded 310 million yuan!"

A deathly silence.

Then, even louder cheers nearly lifted the ceiling.

Three hundred million! My God!

"Very good!"

"We did it!"

This time, it was the hardware team's turn to go crazy.

340,000 units in 28 days!

On average, 12,000 units per day.

This is an incredibly high sales volume.

This result proves that their efforts over the past few days have finally been recognized by the market.

Lu Chen felt relieved.

This is enough to allow Journey Technology to firmly establish itself in the technology industry.

This lays a solid foundation for the next stage of development for Journey Technology.

Lu Chen laughed, this time a hearty laugh.

He raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Once the noise subsided, Lu Chen spoke:

"This achievement belongs to everyone in the company!"

The R&D team worked day and night to bring the product closer to perfection.

The production team members traveled between Shenzhen and Hangzhou to ensure the production line operated smoothly.

The channel team members expanded into the national market and delivered products to consumers.

Each and every one of you deserves immense credit!

Lu Chen paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the members of the game team.

"Of course, the success of the Z1 is also inseparable from the work of the game development team."

It is precisely because of excellent content such as Plants vs. Zombies, Angry Birds, and Fruit Swordsman,

This makes the Z1 more than just an MP4 player; it's a near-perfect device.

"So, I've made my decision!"

Lu Chen raised his voice.

"We're having a celebration tonight! Everyone come!"

"Boss Lu is awesome!"

"Boss Lu is the best!"

"I want a seafood feast!"

"I'm going to karaoke all night!"

Cheers erupted again.

Lu Chen added with a smile:

"Besides, it's almost Chinese New Year after all."

Everyone will receive a year-end bonus this month.

As for the specific amount, I can guarantee it.

We will definitely not let you down!

This statement sparked another round of cheers.

Some people have already started calculating how much bonus they can get.

Some people are already discussing where to celebrate tonight.

The entire office area was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Lu Chen called Su Xi, Jiang Chang, and Zheng Yong aside.

"Susie, you're in charge of arranging the celebration."

Message me after you've booked the location.

Also, Zheng Yong will be in charge of the hardware team for the celebration later, and Jiang Chang will be in charge of the game team.

Remember, everyone should take taxis, and a few people should stay behind and not drink alcohol.

Lu Chen made very meticulous arrangements.

Currently, drunk driving is not a criminal offense, so people don't pay much attention to it.

But this is the company's celebration, so we can't afford any accidents.

"Understood!" the three said in unison.

"besides,"

Lu Chen lowered his voice.

"Make arrangements for Wu Zhixuan and his colleagues on the Shenzhen production line as well, allocate some funds to them."

They can't come to Hangzhou, but the celebration can't be without them. Let them find a place in Shenzhen to celebrate on their own.

"Boss Lu, you've really thought this through."

Zheng Yong said sincerely.

That night,

A high-end restaurant in Hangzhou was booked out by ZhengTu Technology.

They chose Lou Wai Lou, a restaurant famous for its Hangzhou cuisine.

The celebration officially began at 8 p.m.

A large group from ZhengTu Technology ordered three whole tables of food.

Besides Jiang Chang, Zheng Yong, and Zhao Yongqiang, who were among the contributors to Lu Chen's meal, Lu Chen's table was also full of other contributors.

There are also several early founders of the company, such as Tao Manwen and Chu Yu.

The remaining two tables were basically set up according to the gaming group and the hardware group.

Although Lu Chen dislikes drinking parties and social gatherings.

But I'm happy today.

Both the game and the Z1 Journey series have been a great success.

After working day and night since my rebirth, I am finally seeing the results today.

Lu Chen raised his glass and stood up.

Jiang Chang, Zheng Yong, and others were already seated.

When Lu Chen stood up, everyone else stood up as well.

"President Lu!"

"Boss!"

"Everyone, please sit down."

Lu Chen waved his hand, remaining standing.

"Today there are no bosses or employees, only comrades-in-arms who fight alongside us."

This first drink is for everyone!

Thank you all for your hard work over the past six months!

He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"President Lu is so generous!"

"We also toast President Lu!"

After several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Zheng Yong leaned closer, holding his wine glass, and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Boss Lu,

To be honest, you said you wanted to sell 10,000 units a day,

My heart was pounding.

But I didn't expect you to be right.

Zhao Yongqiang also came over.

"Yeah, when you recruited us, I didn't believe a game company could manufacture hardware."

Mr. Lu, did you expect this all along?

Lu Chen smiled and answered directly:

I do not have the ability to predict the future.

However, I believe that good products will speak for themselves.

As long as we do it with our hearts

The market will definitely reward us!

Meanwhile, at the table where the game group was playing, some people had already drunk themselves into a flushed state, but they were all in high spirits.

As the group leader, Jiang Chang naturally became the focus of "care" and was forced to drink several cups.

He sauntered over, holding a wine glass, and joined the conversation.

"Mr. Lu, I am truly grateful to you."

Honestly, I didn't expect IGN to give our game a 9.6.

I never imagined that I was the one leading the production of this game.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

I will work even harder in the future.

The two projects you previously assigned to me

I will definitely complete it 200%...

Seeing that Jiang Chang clearly couldn't hold his liquor, he still insisted on drinking.

Lu Chen quickly arranged for a few people who hadn't been drinking to take care of Jiang Chang.

After going around to the two tables for the gaming group and the hardware group, Lu Chen returned to the main table, where people immediately came up to toast him.

"Mr. Lu, this toast is for you."

A boy wearing a plaid shirt walked over.

He was recruited when the game Z1 was being developed.

"I just graduated this year and have only been with the company for three months."

But I have never felt that my work is so meaningful as I do now.

thank you!"

"Me too!"

Chu Yu also picked up her wine glass and came up.

"Since I joined ZhengTu Technology a year and a half ago, I have witnessed the ups and downs of our company."

Looking back to six months ago, when we were at our lowest point,

Honestly, I really wanted to give up at that point.

It is thanks to Boss Lu, who led us, that we were able to get out of this predicament.
