Chapter 271: Skyrocketing Income

This game is a turn-based game, one of several turn-based games Xu Yuan recommended to him yesterday.

To develop a turn-based game, he first needed to understand it.

He had already played this game for a long time yesterday, and by now, he finally understood its general gameplay.

Overall, he felt it was meaningless.

Combine a few card decks and place them on the battle arena.

Then just watch both sides' card decks, you attack once, then they attack once.

He felt no sense of participation; it would be great if he could control the characters to cast skills.

Wei Yan secretly complained, then tossed this thought to the back of his mind and continued playing.

Don't think so much for now; it's better to understand the game first.

Knock, knock, knock!

Not long after, Xu Yuan knocked and entered, her eye bags slightly dark, and she looked a bit tired, clearly having stayed up late.

“General Manager Wei, I’ve finished writing the game proposal; please take a look.”

“Hmm!”

Wei Yan put down the game, took the game proposal Xu Yuan handed over, opened it, and read it carefully.

The proposal was similar to what Xu Yuan had described in the meeting yesterday, just more detailed.

It divided the card decks into various races, and each race was further subdivided into many cards.

For example, the Human Race listed ancient generals, emperors, strategists, etc.; the Demon Race listed demon foxes, spirit snakes, and so on.

“Print out a few copies of this proposal, then notify everyone in the project to come to the conference room for a meeting.”

Wei Yan closed the proposal and said to Xu Yuan.

With his current game knowledge, he couldn't give much of an evaluation or determine its pros and cons for this game proposal.

All he could do was present the proposal to the other members of the project team and let them discuss it themselves.

……….

Top floor,

CEO's office.

Chen Mo looked at the report Shen Rou had just submitted.

This report was the basic expenditure of several companies that he had asked the finance department to compile.

Now, with the increase in companies and employees, the group's total expenditure was already very high.

He opened the report.

First was the Clothing Factory's expenditure; with the changes in positions and employee salary increases, the expenditure had increased significantly compared to before.

Currently, the Clothing Factory's employee salaries, living expenses, utilities, etc., totaled approximately 1.2 million in expenditure.

Then came Snowy Sky, whose expenditure was higher; with the increase in players for both games, the servers for both games were a significant expense, now requiring nearly 2 million in expenditure.

Adding employee salaries and other daily expenses, the total expenditure was approximately 3.3 million.

Nan He (South and) Coffee,

Nan He (South and) Coffee's expenditure was simple: currently only staff salaries and procurement of consumables, plus utility expenses for each coffee shop. There were currently 20 operating coffee shops, with a total monthly expenditure of approximately 2.3 million.

Next was Wuliao Short Video. This company had just been established not long ago. The main expenses were employee salaries and the salaries of the streamers they recruited. However, the number of recruited streamers was not yet very large. However, Li Shen had reported that to screen out truly talented streamers, they had hired some professionals in various fields for auditing, and these people's salaries were not low.

It could consume more funds, and the more professional the recruited streamers, the more boring the live content would surely be, so he approved Li Shen's request without a second thought.

So, even though not many streamers had been recruited yet, Wuliao Short Video's monthly expenditure was currently 1.4 million.

Finally, Tomorrow Group. The support listed by the finance department for Tomorrow Group included utilities for the 10-story office building, monthly taxes paid by various companies, salaries for the group headquarters' office staff, and salaries for the employee cafeteria chefs and cleaners, as well as food procurement costs.

The total expenditure was 7.7 million, with taxes accounting for a large portion.

Currently, the total expenditure for all companies combined was approximately 16 million; this was the most basic monthly expense.

However, the new workshop of the Clothing Factory had already been renovated and would soon recruit a batch of new employees, and it would gradually expand in the future, so the Clothing Factory's subsequent expenditure would definitely increase.

Then there was Wuliao Short Video, where the recruitment of streamers was still ongoing. As the number of streamers increased, Wuliao Short Video's consumption would definitely be higher.

Finally, Nan He (South and) Coffee had begun sending people to the capital to establish an office, and once the coffee shops opened, Nan He (South and) Coffee's monthly employee expenditure would gradually increase.

However, with Nan He (South and) Coffee expanding to the capital, he wondered if Wang Yang's side would continue with the renovations.

If possible, it would still be best to continue working with Wang Yang. He sent him a 10,000 yuan red packet during the New Year; such a considerate designer is hard to find.

If he gave him more business this year and he earned more, would he send him an even bigger red packet?

Chen Mo thought to himself, he would notify Shen Rou later to contact Wang Yang.

After reading the report, he put it away, took out his notebook, and made a simple summary.

Currently, Tomorrow Group's fixed monthly total expenditure was 16 million, but with the development of various companies, this fixed expenditure would continue to increase.

Therefore, he had to constantly remind the finance department to pay attention to this expenditure issue.

His consciousness sank into the system panel in his mind. The system funds on the system panel had now broken through 100 million; the current system funds were 95 million.

This was the remaining system funds after investing 20 million in Snowy Sky's new project yesterday.

However, the March salaries would be issued soon in these two days, and this time's salaries included the February overtime pay. After all, at the beginning of February, only the basic February salary was issued, not the triple overtime pay.

So this time, the overtime pay for those overtime employees would also need to be补发下去.

According to the finance department's statistics, this salary payout would be 13.0 million.

Moreover, once Nan He (South and) Coffee officially opens its branch in the capital, given the capital's prices, opening a coffee shop in the capital, including rent, renovation, and purchasing high-end coffee machines, would cost approximately 3.5 million in total.

The system limits a maximum of five unoperated coffee shops at one time.

That would be an expenditure of 17.5 million.

There was also the shoemaking machine for the Clothing Factory's new workshop, which cost 2.3 million.

These fixed expenditures totaled 49 million.

After deducting these expenditures, the system funds would still have 46 million remaining.

But 46 million was only for now; it was only March 2nd. Based on the current income of Limit Survival and tianlong, by the end of March, there should be at least 100 million in income.

So his spending target for this month was at least 146 million.

Seeing this number,

Chen Mo couldn't help but utter a curse word.

F*ck.
