Chapter 196 Unlocking Permissions

[Special task settlement time has arrived. Detected that the host’s remaining System Funds meet the task completion criteria.]

[Special task completed!]

[Task rewards have been issued. Please check personally, host.]

Hearing the system’s voice, Chen Mo felt a surge of joy. Was it finished?

This task was a special one issued after the last settlement. After completing the previous special task, he was rewarded with ten songs. He wondered what the reward would be this time.

He quickly focused his consciousness on the system panel in his mind and checked it out.

He soon found the task reward interface.

He discovered that this time there was no actual item reward; instead, many permissions were unlocked for him.

Chen Mo was somewhat disappointed. He had hoped that this task reward would be a cash prize of at least ten or twenty million.

But it was only some permissions being unlocked.

He sighed helplessly and carefully examined the unlocked permissions.

1. Permission to Increase the Number of Companies Established

The host can reasonably invest in new projects based on the current company’s financial status.

Note:

1. When investing in new projects, the original company’s normal operations must be guaranteed.

2. Investment in new projects must not involve industries that violate laws and regulations (e.g., gambling, illegal fundraising, etc.).

3. Investment in new projects must not involve overspending or taking loans.

[Note: When the host owns five companies, a group headquarters can be established.]

The permission to establish companies has been lifted!

Seeing the first unlocked permission, Chen Mo’s expression brightened slightly.

In that case, wouldn’t he be able to establish more loss-making companies?

Not bad.

Although he wasn’t given cash assets as a reward, this permission undoubtedly reduced the difficulty of converting System Funds.

2. Host’s Personal Permissions Unlocked

Detected that the host has been too foolish, having converted only tens of thousands of personal funds so far. To ensure the host’s normal food, clothing, and housing, some permissions are unlocked.

1. Housing Allowance: The host can choose to rent a house with rent not exceeding 2,000. This rent can be paid using System Funds without touching personal assets. If the rent exceeds 2,000, the excess must be borne personally.

2. Travel Subsidy: The company’s public vehicles can be used appropriately by the host but cannot be privately sold or converted into personal assets.

3. Medical Subsidy: During work, if the host falls ill or is injured, all medical expenses can be paid using System Funds.

Seeing the second unlocked permission, Chen Mo was almost moved to tears. This damn system had finally done something humane.

He now had less than 30,000 in personal assets.

He had only rented an old apartment for half a year, and the lease was about to expire. He was hesitating whether to renew it.

But with this permission unlocked, he could rent a better place.

After reading the first two permissions, Chen Mo eagerly looked at the next unlocked permission.

3. Charity Permissions Unlocked

1. Charity Funds have been increased from 10% to 20% of the system’s initial funds.

2. The host can establish a charitable foundation. All available Charity Funds can be transferred into the foundation’s account. Funds transferred to the Charity Funds account will not be counted as System Funds if not spent before settlement and can be carried over to the next settlement cycle. However, funds in the charity account can only be used for charity and not for other purposes.

3. The salaries of employees working in the charitable foundation can be paid using System Funds. However, the number of charity employees must be reasonable and cannot expand indefinitely.

[All procedures and qualification certificates for establishing the foundation have been fully handled by the system. The host only needs to focus on doing charity.]

After reading the third unlocked permission, Chen Mo did some quick calculations. The initial System Funds for this settlement cycle were 15 million. After increasing to 20%, the Charity Funds increased by another 1.5 million.

So currently, the available Charity Funds had risen from over 800,000 to more than 2.3 million.

Moreover, the establishment of the charity foundation solved the problem of unused Charity Funds at the end of the settlement cycle.

According to the system’s charity rules, he couldn’t just donate Charity Funds to any charity institution and be done with it. Instead, personnel had to investigate and personally deliver the Charity Funds to those in need.

This restriction meant he couldn’t spend all the millions of Charity Funds at once.

But now, with the charity permissions unlocked, even if the Charity Funds aren’t fully spent in this settlement cycle, they won’t be cleared but can be carried over to the next cycle.

Also, no matter how much is in the charity account, it won’t affect system settlements.

So he could safely put Charity Funds into the charity account.

Chen Mo flipped through the system interface and found no other content.

In other words, this task reward was the unlocking of three permissions.

Overall, it was somewhat useful.

But tomorrow would be December, and the Tianlong game would bring in another influx of funds.

He reviewed Tianlong’s data. Currently, Tianlong had 2.3 million active users, with 1 million Monthly Card purchasers, 1.5 million Weekly Card purchasers, and 2.1 million Daily Card purchasers.

Monthly Card costs 10 yuan, so 1 million users bring in 10 million.

Weekly Card costs 2 yuan, 1.5 million users bring in 3 million per week; with four weeks in a month, that’s 12 million.

Daily Card costs 0.1 yuan, 2.1 million users bring in 210,000.

So Tianlong’s December revenue would be about 22.21 million, though this was only an estimate and would fluctuate somewhat, but probably not drastically.

Unless there was a sudden surge of new players, but he carefully observed the growth curve of new Tianlong players.

It had stabilized and was growing slowly.

Also, as new players join, old players quit. No matter how fun the game is, player attrition is inevitable, just a matter of degree.

Tianlong did have players quitting, but very few.

The number of quitting players couldn’t match the influx of new ones but effectively slowed the overall player growth.

Therefore,

His target for upcoming expenses was about 22 million, with slight adjustments based on actual circumstances.

Chen Mo took out a notebook and began planning.

Next month’s employee salaries and taxes, plus fabric purchases for the Clothing Factory, food purchases for the Canteen, daily electricity bills, and other expenses would require about 4 million System Funds.

Charity Funds had a quota of 2.3 million.

So the necessary expenses totaled 6.3 million.

After deducting these necessary expenses, he still needed to plan for 15 million in spending tasks this month.

Although the Pet Park was not yet completed, he could add a few million in investment. After all, with such a large site, 5 million was hardly enough to do much.

As for how much to add, he tentatively set it at 5 million.

The Coffee Shop was also a loss-making business and could be scaled up appropriately. Adding two more branches was no problem.

The cost for one branch included rent, renovation, employee salaries, and coffee machine purchases.

Overall, it would require about 2.5 million.

So two branches would need 5 million.
