Chapter 218 Change of Plan

“Not bad!”

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

“None of these proposals will work; we need to find other office spaces.”

“Then, Mr. Chen, what standards should we follow?”

Li Shen asked, surprised that out of so many office spaces, Mr. Chen hadn't liked a single one.

For a moment, he couldn't quite figure out what type of office space Mr. Chen was looking for.

“I need to find a larger one, one where we can rent the entire floor of the office building, and also, I need five floors,” Chen Mo slowly stated.

Li Shen’s mouth dropped open in surprise upon hearing this.

“Mr. Chen, Wuliao Short Video has just assembled its team; renting such a large office space might be unnecessary, don’t you think?”

“Who said it’s all for Wuliao Short Video? I’m establishing a group headquarters, and the other floors will be used as offices for the group headquarters.”

“Group headquarters?”

“That’s right. Now that there are more and more companies, it’s troublesome to manage each one individually. After establishing a group headquarters, unified management can be achieved through it, saving a lot of cumbersome procedures,” Chen Mo explained.

“Alright, just find one according to my requirements,” Chen Mo finalized the matter directly.

After Li Shen and Wu Yu left, he called Tang Qiu over.

After all, Tang Qiu studied law, so he could learn what to pay attention to when establishing a group headquarters through her.

At the same time, some matters concerning the establishment of the group company were also handed over to Tang Qiu to handle.

It just so happened that Tang Qiu often asked him for work, so having her handle the group headquarters’ matters should keep her busy for a while.

After arranging everything, Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, feeling relaxed.

Now that next month's spending plan was set, as soon as the income from Heavenly Dragon arrived, he could spend the money step by step according to the plan.

However, just thinking about Heavenly Dragon providing him with over 20 million in income every month, he couldn't help but want to slap himself twice.

Heavenly Dragon’s ability to reach its current level was inextricably linked to him.

He had only wanted revenge at first, so how did it develop to the point of earning tens of millions a month?

At first, it was a game that was supposed to lose money!

There was no other way.

He could only establish other loss-making industries now, trying his best to offset Heavenly Dragon's income.

Moreover, Cangxue Games’ second new game should be almost finished. He learned from his previous mistake with this game and never interfered, plus with Fang Chang’s ability, losing money would not be a problem.

At that time, if he appropriately increased the game’s late-stage maintenance costs, it should be able to lose even more money.

Also, the Pet Park was still under construction; once completed, it could add another avenue for losing money.

Plus Wuliao Short Video.

With so many ways to lose money, offsetting Heavenly Dragon's revenue should not be a problem.

As long as Heavenly Dragon's revenue was offset, then all future settlements would be much simpler.

The prospects were excellent!

……….

Several days later,

Chen Mo sat in his office chair with a gloomy expression, looking at the Heavenly Dragon revenue report on his desk, and couldn't help but rub his temples.

What's going on?

Heavenly Dragon's revenue growth trend these days was a bit too high!

Although Heavenly Dragon's revenue had always been growing before, it was generally very stable, without much fluctuation.

But this week was different; the growth curve clearly showed a significant jump.

This indicated that Heavenly Dragon’s revenue was increasing by leaps and bounds every day.

These past few days, he had been secretly happy that he could finally offset Heavenly Dragon’s revenue, but seeing this Heavenly Dragon revenue curve, he couldn't be happy anymore.

Something abnormal must be afoot.

Thinking of this, he directly took out his phone and called Fang Chang.

“I see Heavenly Dragon’s revenue curve has increased very quickly this week; what happened?”

“Yes, Mr. Chen, Heavenly Dragon recently updated its skin system. Purchasing monthly cards, weekly cards, and daily cards will unlock the use of corresponding card skins, so now many players in the game are also purchasing all three cards.”

“Currently, the number of people who have purchased monthly cards has reached 60%, and weekly cards have increased to 75%. That’s why Heavenly Dragon’s revenue has shown a rapid growth trend during this period,” Fang Chang quickly explained after hearing Mr. Chen’s question.

Hearing Fang Chang’s words, Chen Mo silently picked up the calculator next to him and did a quick calculation.

Looking at the final result, he felt completely unwell.

Just a simple calculation showed that this skin system alone brought Heavenly Dragon an additional 5 million in revenue.

These guys were really good at stirring things up.

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

Holding the phone, he spoke indifferently.

“Alright, I know about this. By the way, is your new game finished?”

“It’s already in the testing phase. Once testing is complete and no bugs are confirmed, it can basically be released,” Fang Chang said with a smile.

Heavenly Pavilion had been playtesting for several days, and indeed, they encountered some minor bugs during play, but they were quickly resolved.

There wasn’t any major impact, and after about another week of playtesting, the game could essentially be launched.

More importantly, Heavenly Pavilion’s reaction to the game was very good, which finally eased a great deal of the worry in his heart.

After all, the people at Heavenly Pavilion were almost all game enthusiasts, so since they all rated the game as fun, it basically met the tastes of the general public.

Chen Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Fang Chang’s words.

This was also good news.

“Good, then after testing ends, launch it as soon as possible.”

“By the way, Mr. Chen, should we promote the new game? I’ve seen many games do a wave of promotion before launch. If promoted well, a large number of players can be attracted as soon as the game goes online.”

“Don’t rush with promotion; we’ll talk about it after the game is launched.”

Chen Mo listened to Fang Chang’s words, weighed them, and for the sake of caution, ultimately decided it was better not to promote it.

Hanging up the phone,

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and sighed.

With Heavenly Dragon’s skin system going live, he would have at least 5 million more in income this month than last month.

The spending plan he had so painstakingly set seemed to need some changes.

He needed to find other places to spend money.

He picked up a notebook and started writing on it.

Once the group company was established, he would definitely take a group of people to the headquarters, which meant that the Clothing Factory’s employees would certainly need to be supplemented.

And after he left, someone would be needed to manage the Clothing Factory.
