Chapter 519 Cash Acquisition(1/3)
Saying "Hello, Mr. Tao", Tao Yumo couldn't help but feel comfortable all over, feeling as if he had eaten ice cream in the summer.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be a boss, it’s great!
No wonder my sister is so busy every day that she never returns home and doesn't care about her children.
In the past, the greatest power in Tao Yumo's hands was to control the eating, drinking, and drinking of two little ones. Now she suddenly changed her mind and took charge of three living people. She couldn't help but indulge in the pleasure of having such power.
"Yes!" She nodded pretendingly, "Hello everyone, welcome to the sugar game!"
"Thank you Mr. Tao!"
After seeing everyone off, Tao Yushu said, "Okay, I'll leave if there's nothing else to do. Remember my agreement with you."
Tao Yumo was just happy when her sister poured cold water on her. She reluctantly replied: "I know."
Making a profit within a year was like a curse placed on her head.
Starting your own business is so difficult!
If Mr. Tao's inner words were heard by others, he would probably be scolded. There were angel investors in the beginning, the office building was self-owned, and even the technical talents were readily available. He was still a future industry leader.
Mr. Tao's entrepreneurial journey was destined to be smooth sailing from the beginning.
Lin Chaoyang and his wife had left, and only Mr. Tao and three full-level soldiers were left on the seventh floor of the Prince's Building. He Zhiwen asked: "Mr. Tao, what is our job?"
Tao Yumo then remembered that he was already the head of a department and had to give orders.
"Clean up first!"
Mr. Tao issued the No. 1 red-headed document of Sugar Game, but unfortunately the work content was too down-to-earth, which hurt morale a bit.
She also noticed the problem and immediately added: "I'm going to buy office supplies in the afternoon. Each person has a quota of HKD 20,000!"
Hearing these words, Yao Zhuangxian and the others were filled with surprise.
In a game company like Sugar Games, the so-called purchase of office supplies includes not only regular office supplies, but also a variety of electronic products.
Xiangjiang is now a paradise for electronic products. Its status in Asia is equivalent to Shenzhen thirty years later. The golden computer market in Sham Shui Po is equivalent to Huaqiang North.
A genuine Apple Macintosh desktop costs less than HK$3,000, and parallel imports only cost about HK$1,000.
Yao, Yang, and He are all young people, and they are all engaged in the gaming and comic industries. They are more interested in electronic products than ordinary people.
HK$20,000 was enough for them to walk around in Sham Shui Po!
The three of them couldn't help but cheered "Long live Mr. Tao". Listening to this cheer, Tao Yumo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes in comfort.
Power and wealth are men's aphrodisiacs and women's beauty salons.
When leaving for Sham Shui Po in the afternoon, Tao Yumo suddenly heard something very important. She secretly asked Yang Yuansheng: "My sister hired you, have you negotiated your salary?"
"We talked about it. My monthly salary is 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I also have a living allowance of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars. Director Tao said the bonus will be based on the company's performance."
Tao Yumo's eyes widened when he heard this, and he returned the bonus? A month's salary plus subsidy is only 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Isn't it 30,000 for three people? Just three people, a year's salary is 360,000 Hong Kong dollars?
If we recruit a few more people -
I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it at all.
Tao Yumo now regrets his arrogance just now. Office supplies and the like can cost five to six thousand yuan per person.
Then she complained that she had fallen in love with her sister and set such a high salary. She really didn't know how expensive food and rice were.
But at this moment, she couldn't care less about regrets or complaints. All she felt was the burning eagerness in her heart.
"Company startup, do you have any ideas about starting a business?" Mr. Tao looked calm and sincere.
Among the three, Yang Yuansheng is in charge of programming, and He Zhiwen has a background in comics. Both of them have been working for several years. Knowing that at this time, it is better to wait for the boss to express his ideas.
"I was making a game before—"
Yao Zhuangxian was born in engineering and taught himself the game. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. When Tao Yumo asked him, he spoke up.
"What game?" Tao Yumo asked casually. Unexpectedly, her subordinates actually had other ideas, so she asked further.
"Does Mr. Tao know about the Monopoly game?"
Tao Yumo's eyes lit up when she heard this. Isn't this consistent with the direction her brother-in-law pointed out to her?
She couldn't help but look Yao Zhuangxian up and down with appreciative eyes.
This little Yao is becoming more and more like a lucky general.
Yao Zhuangxian was a little embarrassed by Tao Yumo's naked eyes, "Mr. Tao——..."
"Let's go shopping first."
Tao Yumo acted vigorously and led the three people on a large shopping spree.
The next day, Yao Zhuangxian contributed his semi-finished "Monopoly".
He graduated from a technical college with a major in metallurgy. He participated in a computer hobby group and taught himself programming when he was in school.
Out of interest, he started making games by himself for the entertainment of his classmates. However, he himself had little time to play games because of making games.
After graduation, Yao Zhuangxian did not choose to engage in professional-related work.
Instead, I took the two shooting games I made in school and embarked on the road to find a job at a game company. Unfortunately, in the Bay Island game industry in the late 1980s, there were very few game companies that took the road of self-development.
Finally, I met a Daewoo and was taken under the spell, but Daewoo at this time was also a small workshop.
They were not even willing to pay Yao Zhuangxian a salary, and only promised him a commission for making games. This was a clear trick.
When Tao Yumo heard Yao Zhuangxian's experience, he couldn't help but curse him as a "black-hearted capitalist."
Through Yao Zhuangxian's narration, she also learned that her sister's cost of poaching Yao Zhuangxian was much lower than that of Yang Yuansheng. After all, Yang Yuansheng already had formal game development experience, while Yao Zhuangxian was still a new recruit.
Yao Zhuangxian's monthly salary is HK$3,000, plus a monthly living allowance of HK$2,000.
This salary is not low in Xiangjiang, not to mention that Yao Zhuangxian has not received a penny in salary for a year of work. Of course he will not miss such a good opportunity.
The one with the highest salary among the three is He Zhiwen. As a cartoonist who has independently written several comic works, if it were not for the fierce competition within the Yulang agency, which prevented him from being promoted to the main writer, he would not have been able to join Sugar Games.
From this small game company.
His salary at Yulang Organization was not low, and his salary at Sugar Games jumped to HK$12,000.
After seeing Yao Zhuangxian's semi-finished "Monopoly", Tao Yumo happily decided: "Let's use this game as the company's startup game!"
At the same time, she also promised several people that if the game successfully makes a profit after it is launched, the company will use 10% of the profits as bonuses to distribute to them, the creative staff.
Eating the pie painted by Tao Yumo, Yao Zhuangxian, Yang Yuansheng and others were immediately full of motivation and wished they could use their energy to develop games.
Seeing the condition of several of his subordinates as if they had been injected with blood, Mr. Tao felt a little complacent.
It’s not that difficult to be a boss!
Mr. Tao is obsessed with entrepreneurship and can't help himself. Others don't care, but Dongdong and Yan Yan are very anxious.
The two of them have been Mr. Tao's followers since childhood. Now that Mr. Tao is away from home all day long, the brother and sister can be said to have no food and sleep.
Crying and shouting to find my aunt (hua).
Tao Yumo disappeared again early this weekend. The two little guys were very anxious and clamored to find their aunt. Lin Chaoyang had no choice but to take his brother and sister to the Prince's Building.
"Why are you two here?" Tao Yumo was a little surprised when he saw the two little guys.
"I miss you." Lin Chaoyang said.
Tao Yumo complained: "Can't you two take care of the children? Don't you see that I'm busy?"
"What are you busy with? Playing games?"
The TV in the office was on. On the screen, Mario with the red hat stood motionless on the map of the Kingdom of the Sea, and the iconic sound effects came from the TV.
Before Tao Yumo could say anything, Dongdong ran over and rubbed the handle.
In less than five seconds, Mario fell to the ground and died.
Tao Yumo was heartbroken. How could she pass the level without her life?
Since the company opened, she has moved all the computers, game consoles and cassettes from home.
Coupled with some game-related equipment purchased by the company a few days ago, Sugar Games does not look like a post-game company after its opening, but more like a stationery store or a computer shop.
In the 1970s, Atari consoles became popular in Hong Kong, but a console cost 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, and a TV set cost 1,000 to 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Including game cartridges, it will cost at least HK$3,000 to play a game console.
For ordinary Xiangjiang families, this is a large amount of money.
Many game enthusiasts cannot afford game consoles, but they still need them, so this has become a way for some stationery store owners to make money.
Several game consoles are placed in the store to harvest the wallets of primary school students.
A machine shop is a game arcade in the Mainland, a place dedicated to playing arcade machines.
"There are only a few people in your company, but there are quite a few game consoles."
Sugar Games currently has a total of five people. In addition to the boss Tao Yumo, He Zhiwen, Yao Zhuangxian, and Yang Yuansheng are responsible for game development.
There is also a young girl named Wu Jiaxin who works as a finance and clerk.
Lin Chaoyang looked around and visually discovered at least 8 game consoles, 5 computers, and 1 arcade machine.
