Chapter 68: This is Easy, Let’s Rent Another Office

As Chen Mo continued his explanation, every employee in the studio seemed to be lost in a dream.

During the team-building event, they had learned that the benefits at the clothing factory were good, but they never expected them to be this good.

If the previous changes to working hours had liberated their mental and physical freedom, then now, the changes to benefits were essentially solving their problems with daily necessities.

Not to mention anything else, just the monthly shopping card worth five hundred was enough to cover the household expenses, which is no different from giving them a raise of five hundred in salary.

Beside them, Fang Chang also showed an expression of disbelief as he listened to Chen Mo.

He wasn’t very familiar with the system at the clothing factory and had never bothered to learn about it. After hearing this, he suddenly realized how good the benefits for the employees were. If these plans were implemented, the amount Chen Mo would be spending and losing would be quite a large sum.

Wei Yan, on the other hand, stood calmly beside them. He had already gotten used to what Chen Mo did.

Not long ago, he secretly did some calculations. The amount of money Chen Mo was currently spending was completely disproportionate to the income from both companies. He didn’t understand why Chen Mo was doing this, but he had a feeling that Chen Mo was playing a bigger game. Everything he was doing now seemed to be laying the groundwork.

After all, someone as visionary as Chen Mo wouldn’t waste time on futile efforts.

What Wei Yan needed to do now was to improve himself as much as possible so he wouldn’t drag behind in Chen Mo’s big plan.

Chen Mo didn’t pay much attention to the expressions of the employees around him.

“These are the tentative benefits for now. There will be more changes in the future.”

“Next, let’s talk about company activities. Team-building events will be held periodically, and we’ll notify everyone when the time comes.”

“The next event I want to announce is the upcoming sports meet, which will likely be held in about a month.”

“Everyone can use this time to get some exercise. There will be many events like running, high jump, long jump, skipping rope, ping pong, badminton, and other sports.”

“At that time, the top few winners in each event will receive corresponding prizes.”

“The prizes will include phones, computers, tablets, refrigerators, air conditioners, and more.”

After finishing his speech, Chen Mo left the studio amid the astonished gazes of the employees.

Back in his office, Fang Chang carefully brought him a glass of water.

Chen Mo took the cup, feeling a bit dry after all the talking.

“Please sit down. We’ve finished with the employees. There are still other things I need to discuss with you.”

Chen Mo sat down with the water cup in hand and signaled for the two to sit.

“Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?” Wei Yan asked as he sat down.

Fang Chang also sat up straight, adopting a listening posture.

“It’s nothing major,” Chen Mo replied, smiling helplessly at their serious expressions.

“I just want to improve the environment and setup at our company. First, regarding the computers—since we’re a game company, the computer configurations must be up to standard.”

“So, all the computers currently used by the employees need to be replaced. Wei Yan is more familiar with this, so I won’t elaborate.”

“Next is the air conditioning issue. I noticed that the company is using the air conditioners that were originally provided for office spaces, and their cooling effect is a bit lacking. The employee studio is still a bit stuffy, so we need to install some standalone air conditioners.”

“As for employees’ daily life, the hard seats in the tea room are simply not suitable for resting. We can replace them with comfortable sofas, and also place a coffee machine, a snack cabinet, and a beverage cabinet.”

“This snack and beverage cabinet should also be placed in the employee studio for easy access.”

“Finally, regarding the company environment, we can purchase some plants to place in various corners of the company to improve the air quality.”

“Well, that’s all for now. You can figure out how to implement it. If you need funds, please contact the finance department.”

After briefly considering if he had missed anything, Chen Mo asked, “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be leaving.”

“Mr. Chen, I have a concern,” Fang Chang suddenly stood up, his expression hesitant.

“What is it?” Chen Mo asked, looking at him curiously.

“It’s about overtime. The company is currently developing a new project, and if we don’t have overtime, it may take a long time to complete.”

“Mr. Chen, would you consider allowing some overtime?” Fang Chang cautiously asked, aware that his suggestion might upset Chen Mo, especially since Chen Mo had just announced the no-overtime policy.

However, overtime was common for programmers in game companies, and some didn’t even get paid for it.

Fang Chang had worked at several game companies and had never seen one that didn’t have overtime.

Chen Mo rubbed his head helplessly when he heard this.

After a long pause, he looked up at Fang Chang and said meaningfully, “I understand that you want to finish the project quickly, but there are many ways to speed up the completion. Why does it have to be by working overtime?”

“If you think it’s hard to finish the project without overtime, why not hire more employees? That way, efficiency will improve.”

“But Mr. Chen, the office space here is only 150 square meters, and if we hire new employees, there won’t be enough room for additional workstations,” Fang Chang said, looking troubled.

“That’s easy to solve. Just rent another office. You can decide how big it needs to be.”

“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be leaving.”

Chen Mo quickly said, then stood up and walked toward the door.

In his mind, he was already considering renting another office as a good way to spend money. As the company grew, they could easily rent a larger office space, even several floors.

Then, they could hire a renovation company to carry out the renovations, which would be another big expenditure.

Hmm, this could be included in future plans.

Chen Mo silently nodded and walked out of Cangxue Games.

Fang Chang watched Chen Mo’s departing figure, silent for a long time.

He hadn’t expected that Chen Mo would solve this by renting another office. This was burning money!

“Wei Yan, what do you think about this?”

He turned to Wei Yan, who was standing beside him, uncertain.

“Just do it. Isn’t there an 80-square-meter office upstairs that’s been empty for months? We can rent it and add 20 workstations. There should be no problem.”

Wei Yan thought for a moment before slowly speaking.

He had known Chen Mo for some time, so he had some understanding of his character. Once Chen Mo made a decision, it was unlikely he would change it easily.

“Then let’s rent it.”

“The office has been vacant for several months. If we go to negotiate now, we should be able to get a discount.”

Hearing Wei Yan’s suggestion, Fang Chang finally felt relieved.

“I’ll take care of this. I used to be in sales, so I have experience with negotiations.”

Wei Yan eagerly took charge of the task.
