I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!-Chapter 55 - 30 Number One Player Company Established_2

But if he could have less trouble, he could also pay out less in salaries, couldn’t he?

A perfect project plan would save Ke Jin a lot of hassle.

It even included rough sketches for the game’s composition, modeling, character standing illustrations, etc.

Even the musical scores for the soundtrack were included.

It was quite outrageous.

Ke Jin’s plan was also quite straightforward.

First, establish a company, then recruit people.

For the company part, with the changes in times, it was no longer as cumbersome as in the early years.

Spend a couple of thousand yuan to find a professional agency, submit a bank account and company address, and within three to five days, the process could be approved.

The registered capital wouldn’t cost much either.

Usually, those who need tens or even hundreds of millions in registered capital are involved in the financial industry.

Like securities companies, fund custody, futures, private banking, etc.

But for a game company like the one Ke Jin needed to register, if it wasn’t a joint-stock system, 100,000 yuan would suffice.

Ke Jin had no plans to establish a joint-stock company.

That would be ridiculous.

With so many excellent game IPs in hand, why would I bring in investors to share my cake of shares?

The previous idea was forgotten, but recognized as: purely throwing money around.

Control—Ke Jin needed absolute control of the company!

Everything else was easy, except for naming the company.

Ke Jin had a minor disagreement with the agency.

Ke Jin obstinately wanted to name the company ‘Number One Player.’

The person from the agency said that this was not appropriate, as a company name with four characters was too much of a mouthful and not good for future development.

Ke Jin said okay, then call it Expert Player Company.

After all, “number one” means expert, and the suffix “player” remains the same. Isn’t it simplified to “expert player”?

The agency was silent for a moment, then said.

“Let’s call it Number One Player Virtual Entertainment then.”

“Chì chù,” Ke Jin left, satisfied.

…

After resolving the company registration issue,

Ke Jin ran around for several days, selecting a location for the company.

Finally, at the strong recommendation of his younger sister,

he chose a small tree-lined alley next to Jianglin University.

There, there was an unused office building with three floors, each about five hundred square meters.

Not too big, not too small.

Last year, it was originally an escape room venue, and business was booming.

Afterward, rumors spread that it was haunted, and over time no one went there anymore.

Later it was learned that it was just a rhythm led by a competitor across the street, but it was too late to recover the lost popularity.

Furthermore, rumors of hauntings, even if they were just rumors, made many business people quite superstitious about it.

So it had been left unused ever since.

But Ke Jin was quite satisfied after looking it over.

Standing at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the company and looking outside.

A gust of wind had the trees on both sides casting a carpet of leafy shadows onto the ground.

It was quite picturesque.

Moreover, Ke Yu, being his exclusive top-notch artist, naturally couldn’t avoid being… “utilized” by him after starting university.

Having the company closer to her would make commuting more convenient, and if she encountered any minor mishaps at school, he could be there to lend a hand.

As for whether the place was haunted or not.

Well, he was bound to make horror games sooner or later anyway.

Who knows, for publicity, he might even place a couple of life-size female ghost figures at the company’s entrance.

He wasn’t scared at all.

He talked to the landlord about the rent.

Due to its location near the school, the rent was not exactly cheap.

It was 8 yuan per square meter per month.

That worked out to be about 12,000 yuan in total.

In the past, a monthly rent of 12,000 yuan would have equaled two or three months of his salary; Ke Jin didn’t even dare to think about it.

But now, it seemed somewhat acceptable.

With the company address settled, all that remained was to acquire the equipment and staff, and then the company could officially open for business!

In terms of equipment, Ke Jin planned to opt for some stronger hardware.

He would start with five 4090-level graphics cards, mainly for running graphic rendering, UI visual effects, and so on.

For CPUs, he would go for the enterprise-level behemoth, the Ryzen Rupture 5995, with just one sufficing to more than meet the capability needed for developing the engine.

The rest of the computers would be fitted with 4070-level graphics cards, paired with slightly lower-tier i9-13900KF processors; being able to overclock from time to time was enough for map modeling and art modeling purposes.

He would also order a few lower-end machines in bulk to meet the everyday office needs of departments such as the front desk, game customer service, and finance, which do not require high computer specs.

Planning to initially purchase 20 machines, he budgeted around 300,000 yuan for them.

Additionally, about 100,000 yuan would be spent on acquiring equipment for sound effects and voice recording.

The rest of his budget would be for decor, furniture, and various odds and ends.

After busily completing this round of tasks, Ke Jin tallied his expenses.

Boy oh boy.

The hard-earned savings of 700,000 yuan he had accumulated were wiped out in an instant.

Fortunately, “Gotham” was still bringing in income sporadically since it had reached the top 50 on the NAA list.

He was making about 5,000 yuan a day.

This sum should more than suffice for ongoing staff wages and benefits.

As for his other three games, because of their rather unconventional pricing, their revenue was negligible.

When it came to hiring people,

Ke Jin had a plan as well.

Key employees needed to be recruited slowly; he had to choose his five-star generals carefully.

This couldn’t be rushed.

He didn’t necessarily need to find exceptionally talented employees, but at the very least, he needed to avoid hiring a traitor.

For non-staff roles, he could hire locally.

He could pick some university students from the plantation next door… Oh, it turned out to be a university.

He could select some students from Jianglin University to work as temps and when he had more funds, he could slowly hire more suitable candidates.

“Task completed!” Almost a month of bustle inside and out,

Ke Jin looked up at the signboard ‘Number One Player Virtual Entertainment’ that the decorator was hanging up at the entrance of the company.

He clapped his hands and stood with his hands on his hips, staring for a while at those letters reflecting the sunlight.

“This place will definitely become a ‘Jerusalem’ where all gamers will come to worship, my number one shareholder,” he said with a twist of his head and a light laugh, speaking to Ke Yu who was standing beside him, gazing dreamily at the new company, her youthful face full of longing.

Today’s triple update, although the free period recommends 4K words per day, limiting it to within 120,000 words per month.

But actually, I’m still updating vigorously; the book was released on the 19th last month, and by the beginning of this month, it was already nearly 120,000 words…

Asking for a little bit of the new week’s data isn’t too much, right? Wuuu…

Please send some recommendation tickets and monthly tickets my way; I’m normally afraid to trouble everyone, but as a new week begins and we aim for the new book list again, these numbers are very important.

Please! Here’s asking the reader big guns to throw one in first!

Knock, knock, knock!!
