Chapter 218: Change of Plans

That’s right!

Chen Mo smiled slightly, looked up at Li Shen and Wu Yu, and placed the documents in his hand on the table.

“None of these plans are feasible, we need to find other office spaces.”

“Then President Chen, what criteria should we use to search?” Li Shen asked. He didn’t expect that with so many office spaces available, President Chen wouldn’t find one suitable.

For a moment, he was a bit confused about what type of office President Chen was actually looking for.

“I need a larger space, the entire floor of an office building, and I want to rent five floors.”

Chen Mo spoke slowly.

Li Shen was taken aback, his mouth agape.

“President Chen, the ‘Boring Short Video’ team has just been established; renting such a large office space might not even be necessary.”

“Who said it’s all for your ‘Boring Short Video’? I’m planning to establish a group head office. The other floors will be for the group’s headquarters.”

“Group headquarters?”

“Exactly. As the number of companies increases, managing them becomes quite troublesome. After the head office is established, it will allow for unified management and simplify many cumbersome procedures.”

Chen Mo explained a bit.

“Alright, you just need to look for one according to my requirements.”

Chen Mo settled the matter directly. After Li Shen and Wu Yu left, he called Tang Qiu over.

After all, Tang Qiu studied law, and she could provide insights into what needs to be considered for establishing a group head office.

He also assigned some tasks regarding the establishment of the group to Tang Qiu.

Coincidentally, Tang Qiu often approached him for tasks; letting her handle the group headquarters matters should keep her busy for a while.

Once everything was arranged, Chen Mo relaxed in his chair.

Now that next month’s spending plan has been set, he just needs to wait for Tianlong’s revenue to come in, and he can start spending according to plan.

But just thinking about the more than 20 million in revenue provided by Tianlong each month made him want to slap himself.

Tianlong reaching this level has a lot to do with him.

At first, he only wanted to take revenge, so how did it develop into a scenario of making millions monthly?

It was a money-losing game from the start!

There was no choice.

Now, he could only establish more money-losing industries to offset Tianlong’s revenue.

Moreover, Cangxue Games’ second new game should be almost finished. He learned from the previous lesson and has not intervened. With Fang Chang’s capabilities, it should lose money without issues.

By then, if he appropriately increases the game’s later maintenance costs, it should result in even greater losses.

And there’s also Pet Park, which is still under construction. Once completed, it will provide another avenue for losses.

Along with Boring Short Video.

With so many avenues for losing money, offsetting Tianlong’s revenue shouldn’t be a problem.

As long as he can offset Tianlong’s revenue, future settlements will become much simpler.

The prospects look great!

………

A few days later,

Chen Mo sat in his office chair with a gloomy expression, staring at the Tianlong revenue report on the table, unable to help but rub his brow.

What’s going on?

Tianlong’s revenue increase trend recently has been quite high!

Although Tianlong’s revenue used to be on a growth trajectory as well, it was generally very stable, without any significant fluctuations.

But this past week is different. The growth curve has noticeably spiked.

This indicates that Tianlong’s revenue has been increasing dramatically each day.

He had been secretly pleased that he could finally offset Tianlong’s revenue, but upon seeing this revenue curve, he couldn’t feel happy anymore.

Something must be off.

With this thought, he picked up the phone and called Fang Chang.

“I see that this week’s Tianlong revenue curve is increasing rapidly. What happened?”

“Yes, President Chen. Recently, Tianlong updated its skin system. Purchasing monthly, weekly, or daily cards unlocks the corresponding skins, and now many players are buying all three types of cards,” Fang Chang explained quickly.

“Currently, those applying for monthly cards have reached 60%, and weekly cards have increased to 75%. That’s why Tianlong’s revenue has shown a rapid growth trend recently.”

Upon hearing Fang Chang’s words, Chen Mo silently picked up his computer and did a quick calculation.

Looking at the final figure, he felt disheartened.

Just a simple calculation revealed that this skin system alone had generated over 5 million in additional revenue for Tianlong.

These guys really know how to stir things up.

He gently pressed his chest, trying to calm his emotions.

Taking a deep breath, he said lightly, “Okay, I get it. By the way, is your new game ready?”

“It’s in the testing phase now. After the testing is done and we confirm there are no bugs, it should be good to go live.”

Fang Chang smiled. The people at Heavenly Pavilion had played the game for several days, and while they encountered a few minor bugs, they had quickly resolved them.

It hadn’t caused any major issues; they should be able to launch the game after another week of testing.

More importantly, feedback from Heavenly Pavilion about the game has been very positive, which significantly eased his anxieties.

After all, the people over at Heavenly Pavilion are almost all game enthusiasts, and since they find the game fun, it will likely cater to the tastes of the general player base.

Hearing Fang Chang’s words, Chen Mo felt slightly relieved.

This could be considered good news.

“Alright, then let’s get it online as soon as testing is finished.”

“By the way, President Chen, should we advertise for the new game? I noticed many games do some promotion before launch; if the marketing is good, it could attract a lot of players right as the game goes live.”

“Let’s not rush the advertising. We can discuss it after the game launches.”

Listening to Fang Chang, Chen Mo weighed the options and ultimately decided not to proceed with advertising for safety’s sake.

After hanging up, Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and sighed.

With the introduction of the Tianlong skin system, his revenue for this month will at least exceed last month by 5 million.

The spending plan he painstakingly set needs to be revised.

He needs to find other areas to spend.

He picked up a notebook and started writing.

After the establishment of the group company, he would definitely need to bring a team to the headquarters, so the employees of the Clothing Factory would need to be supplemented.

And after he leaves, someone will need to manage the Clothing Factory.
