Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chen Bainian was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It turns out that the "section chief of the management committee" that Grandpa Qin had mentioned so mysteriously was actually his nephew.

I originally thought that having the same surname was just a common thing in the same village, but I never expected that the old man was secretly making connections to help his nephew get business.

But on second thought, the environment of the art and creative park is indeed quite good. If the rent is reasonable and there are policy supports, it would be an ideal choice.

Xu Haoran tacitly fell behind by a step, seemingly handing over the initiative in the negotiations to Chen Bainian.

His tall stature, coupled with this step back, made him look like a silent bodyguard, instantly adding a touch of humor to the atmosphere.

Qin Ming led the two to a small office, made tea, and just as he began to address them as "Teacher Chen."

This time it was Chen Bainian's turn to interrupt with a smile: "Brother Ming, just call me Xiao Chen or Bainian, don't be so formal."

"Alright, Xiao Chen," Qin Ming readily agreed, "Tell me briefly about the studio's plans, and I'll give you some advice on which area of ​​the park is most suitable for you to set up shop." He then took a sip of tea.

Chen Bainian didn't mince words: "We currently need workstations for about 30 people, and it would be best to expand to 50. We'll need a large conference room, plus two or three smaller ones."

He considered that the first project during the adjustment period wouldn't last too long, and the studio would expand in the future, so it would be better to go all out and choose a space that could match long-term development, thus avoiding frequent relocations.

As Qin Ming listened, he quickly searched for information on his computer.

These types of parks are essentially "two signs with one team," and all the information is readily available.

"Based on your needs, I have four suitable locations on hand. Would you like to go and take a look at them now?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Ming." Chen Bainian nodded.

Since we're here, we naturally trust Grandpa Qin's introduction.

"No trouble at all, we do this kind of work right here," Qin Ming said readily.

However, Chen Bainian knew in his heart that a section chief personally taking two young people who were just starting out to see the site was mostly because of Qin Daye's influence.

After sitting for a short while, the three of them got up and walked out again.

Qin Ming led the way while explaining the park to the two of them.

He also inquired about Chen Bainian's situation: "Xiao Chen, have you decided on an agency for foreign exchange and taxation when your game is listed on the Steam platform? There's a pretty well-known company in Haicheng, and their Hangzhou branch has set up shop in our town. They can help you make connections if you need them."

"Not decided yet, I've contacted a few companies and am comparing them."

Chen Bainian had previously looked into the relevant issues.

After realizing how complicated it was, I decided to find an agent to help me handle these matters.

Now that Qin Ming has made a recommendation, it's like having more options to consider.

Chen Bainian asked curiously, "Ming-ge, you guys still care about these things?"

"Startups have a lot of problems like this. If we help them solve these problems, people will be more willing to settle down here," Qin Ming said, his tone becoming more sincere.

"Your game company belongs to the technology and cultural innovation industry. In the park, you can not only enjoy rent subsidies, but also tax benefits."

If you register your company here, you can also apply for special funds for arts and culture development. We also have a fast track to help you with qualifications such as publishing licenses and online cultural licenses.

These conditions are indeed tempting.

Chen Bainian asked directly, "Ming-ge, what's the approximate rent range for our park?"

"After the subsidy, it's between one and three yuan per square meter per day. The places I showed you are the most cost-effective, around one and a half yuan per square meter. If you register in the park, you can get an additional 20% to 50% discount based on the economic contribution per unit area."

"Ming-ge, you're really dedicated to your work." Chen Bainian couldn't help but laugh as Qin Ming kept trying to get him to register at the park.

"Hahaha." Qin Ming wasn't embarrassed by his thoughts being exposed, but laughed instead. "I really think highly of you, and sincerely hope that you can move in."

He led the two into the elevator and pressed the button for the fifth floor: "Let's go to the sixth floor of Building D first. This is my most recommended room. It's located in the center of the park, furthest from the surrounding roads, so it's very quiet. It has good natural light and a terrace."

As the elevator ascended, he added, "The entire park is delivered fully furnished, with central air conditioning and desks and chairs all provided. You can bring your computers in and start working right away."

The elevator doors opened, and Qin Ming led the way to room 608 in the southwest corner.

"This used to be a game company too, but..." He pushed open the door, his tone as usual, "The boss just left yesterday, so it's now vacant. If you don't mind that, considering all the factors, this is truly the best choice."

The door slowly opened, and the "Starry Night Games" logo behind the reception desk had not yet been completely removed.

Several young people were packing their belongings in the office area, and the atmosphere was somber.

At that moment, a young man wearing glasses looked up at the sound, and the instant he saw Chen Bainian, his tired eyes lit up, and he exclaimed:

"Mr. Chen!? Are you Mr. Chen, the producer of 'Getting Over It'? I'm a fan of yours."

Chen Bainian's gaze swept over everyone, and combined with what Qin Ming had just said, he understood.

These are young people who lost their jobs because their previous company dissolved.

He remained expressionless, only offering a gentle smile: "Hello, I am Chen Bainian."

As soon as he introduced himself, the eyes of the remaining people in the office area all turned to him.

As industry professionals, they naturally paid attention to the games that were trending on social media a few days ago.

The name Chen Bainian still maintains a high level of popularity in the current gaming community.

The first domestically produced indie game to become a hit after the Steam platform opened its regional page to China, a dark horse that broke into the top ten of the weekly best-selling charts as soon as it was released.

In the industry, especially for members of a disbanded team, this is quite a small legend.

Looking at the people accompanying Chen Bainian, who appeared to be staff members of the park's management committee.

This reminds me of the interview he gave a few days ago in the "12th Floor" live stream, where he mentioned wanting to set up his own studio.

The bespectacled young man, Cheng Zhixing, immediately realized: "Is your studio planning to move into the park? Are you still short-staffed? I'm an executive planner."

His words seemed to have flipped a switch, and the other young people immediately gathered around:

"Teacher Chen, me too, I'm an art student."

"Teacher Chen, I work on the backend."

Seeing that a simple venue tour was about to turn into a live job fair, Qin Ming, who had been observing quietly from the sidelines, coughed lightly twice at the right moment.

He stepped forward to remind him, "Xiao Chen, let's hurry up and finish looking around the venue. As for the interviews, I can lend you this office temporarily later."

"Okay, I'll follow Ming-ge's arrangements." Chen Bainian readily agreed.

He then turned to the expectant faces in front of him and said calmly, "If you are interested, please prepare your resumes and representative works. We can discuss the details after I inspect the venue."

Cheng Zhixing immediately volunteered: "Teacher Chen, let me show you around! I've been here for half a year and I know every corner well."

His words stirred the interest of the other young men.
