Chapter 113: Must Cut Off the Recharge Channels

Clothing Factory,

Office.

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, fantasizing about how to allocate his 8 million after the settlement.

Should he buy a house first, or a car first?

Hmm!

Seems like he could buy both at the same time.

Chen Mo smiled slightly.

Ring ring ring!

The phone rang.

Chen Mo glanced at the caller ID, paused for a moment, and quickly answered the call.

"Mom!"

"Chen Mo, how's work going? October 1st is coming up soon, are you coming home for the holiday?"

His mother's voice came through the phone.

Listening to his mother's words, Chen Mo quickly opened the calendar and looked, only then realizing that October 1st was five days away.

And the system's settlement date was exactly three days later, on Friday.

Thinking that he hadn't been home for a long time, he could just wait until the system settled in three days, return with 8 million in personal funds, and also improve his parents' current living conditions.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo replied.

"Mom, I'll go back for October 1st."

"Good, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

On the phone,

his mother's voice seemed to become happier.

Hearing his mother's slightly excited voice, Chen Mo couldn't help but fall silent. Since growing up, he seemed to have somewhat neglected his parents.

In the past, he would contact them once a week, but now he might not contact them for one or two months.

But this holiday, he could go back and stay a few more days, spending good time with them.

"Mom, just make something simple. I like everything."

"Alright, then I'll decide what to make. I won't disturb your work anymore."

After saying this, his mother directly hung up the phone.

Chen Mo listened to the busy tone, taking a while to snap out of it.

He turned to look at Shen Rou.

"Shen Rou, has the company's October 1st holiday schedule been finalized?"

"Boss Chen, I was just about to discuss this with you."

"If calculated according to the legal holidays, it's from this Saturday to next Friday, but the specific holiday time still needs your decision, Boss Chen."

Hearing Chen Mo's inquiry, Shen Rou quickly spoke up.

Hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at the calendar.

This year's October 1st falls on a Monday. The National Day legal holiday is three days, so that's Monday to Wednesday. Adding the adjusted weekends, it just happens to be from this Saturday to next Friday.

A total of seven days for the small holiday.

If that's the case, then the employees' work time would be next Saturday.

But how can they work on a Saturday?

Thinking this, Chen Mo directly picked up a pen and circled the dates on the calendar, from this Saturday to next Sunday, a total of nine circles.

Isn't this right?

"Just follow this holiday schedule. Notify the workshop employees, and also Cangxue Games."

As he spoke, he pushed the circled calendar to Shen Rou.

Shen Rou curiously picked up the calendar and looked, then froze completely.

After a while, she looked up at Chen Mo.

"Boss Chen, with the adjusted weekends, seven days for National Day is enough."

"I know, but that's for other companies. My company doesn't allow work on Saturdays and Sundays, even after adjustments."

Chen Mo said without looking up.

No matter what, if employees work two fewer days, they'll do two fewer days of work. If they do two fewer days of work, he might earn a bit less profit.

So this holiday must be given.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Shen Rou felt a wave of emotion.

Other company bosses are thinking about how to give fewer holidays, but Boss Chen is directly giving employees two extra days off.

Probably those employees will be very happy when they hear this news.

Thinking this, Shen Rou suddenly remembered that the report just sent by Cangxue Games hadn't been given to Boss Chen yet.

She quickly printed a copy and handed it to Boss Chen.

"Boss Chen, this is the report just sent by Cangxue Games. You can take a look."

"Oh!"

Chen Mo reached out and took the report, glancing at it.

He quickly froze.

1 million?

What's going on? How did another 1 million in sales appear?

Thinking of this, he quickly called Fang Chang to ask what exactly was happening.

After a while,

Chen Mo slowly hung up the phone, feeling terrible.

It's that 100,000-yuan equipment again, those rich players.

You fight your team battles, but why do you have to keep focusing on that 100,000-yuan equipment?

Chen Mo felt too exhausted to complain internally, but he also realized one thing: this can't go on.

He must take down these paid equipment items.

Otherwise, on settlement day, if some rich player buys two pieces of equipment, wouldn't that directly cause the settlement to fail?

It's best to close all channels for recharging money into the game, so he won't have to worry about the game making money.

[Reminder to the host: The game cannot have absolutely no consumption items.]

The system's prompt suddenly sounded.

Can't have no consumption items? Then I'll just set up a few less profitable consumption points, and that should work.

Anyway, this consumption channel for buying equipment with money must be cut off. Otherwise, with you fighting small battles every three days and big battles every five days, you might have fun, but I'll suffer.

Especially at this critical moment just before settlement.

"Shen Rou, also tell Brother Yang to prepare the car. I'm going to Cangxue Games."

…

Cangxue Games,

Office,

"Boss Chen, what are your instructions?"

Fang Chang looked at the suddenly arrived Boss Chen and asked cautiously.

Chen Mo looked up at Fang Chang and spoke calmly.

"Today, I'm mainly here to discuss the reform of Tianlong."

"Boss Chen, the reform of Tianlong has been ongoing. You can rest assured."

Rest assured?

With Tianlong in this state now, how can I rest assured?

Chen Mo looked at the water cup he had just picked up and placed it back on the desk.

"I'm talking about other reforms. Since Tianlong is now focused on the free path, we need to reform thoroughly, completely closing those recharge channels that affect the game's balance."

"So, what do you mean, Boss Chen?"

Fang Chang looked at Chen Mo somewhat hesitantly, unsure if his guess was correct.

Hearing Fang Chang's question, Chen Mo directly stated the plan he had thought of in the car.

"It's like this: I found that if the game still has those equipment items that require money to buy, it's still somewhat unfriendly to free-to-play players. So, I've decided to take down all equipment that requires money to purchase."

"Of course, all other miscellaneous places that require recharging will also be taken down."

"But Boss Chen, if that's the case, the game won't have any profitable elements."

Hearing this, Fang Chang quickly spoke up.

"I haven't finished."

Chen Mo looked at the somewhat anxious Fang Chang and continued.

"As a game, there naturally needs to be consumption channels. We can set up consumption channels like monthly cards, weekly cards, and daily cards. As long as players purchase these cards, they can enjoy certain conveniences, but it must not affect the game balance."

"The monthly card price will be set at 10 yuan per month, the weekly card at 2 yuan per week, and the daily card at 0.1 yuan per day. As for what conveniences these cards offer, you can figure it out yourselves."

With only these consumption channels, there shouldn't suddenly be another 1 million in profit, right?

Chen Mo thought to himself.
