Chapter 318 Traffic Brought by the Competition

“The speech effect was good!”

Chen Mo was a bit bewildered, looking at Chen Cong’s excited expression, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

“What exactly do you mean by ‘the speech effect was good’?”

“It’s exactly what it sounds like. After your speech just now, those in the live stream seemed to really like what you said. Especially the phrase ‘In esports, being bad is the original sin’—it was very popular.”

Chen Cong said with a grin, completely oblivious to Chen Mo’s changing expression.

This…

Very popular!

Are there no problems with the netizens these days? I was telling them they were bad!

Chen Mo was utterly speechless listening to Chen Cong’s words; his speech was meant to deter people.

“Well, I’m a bit tired. I’m leaving first.”

He looked at the smiling Chen Cong, then at Wei Yan and the others, who were also approaching with excited expressions.

These people truly didn’t know the bitterness in his heart!

Such a large company,

Yet not a single person understands him.

Feeling bored in his heart.

“Boss Chen, I’ll have someone send you off.”

Seeing that Boss Chen was leaving, Chen Cong didn’t think much and quickly spoke up.

“No, I have a driver.”

Chen Mo waved his hand and walked out step by step.

Seeing this, Shen Rou quickly followed him.

“Boss Chen, why did he suddenly leave?”

Wei Yan and the others came to Chen Cong’s side, looking at Boss Chen’s somewhat desolate back, and asked in confusion.

“Boss Chen said he was tired.”

Chen Cong replied.

“That’s true. Boss Chen has so many things to handle every day, and he still comes to watch the competition at night. He must be tired.”

Fang Chang slowly spoke, looking at Boss Chen’s back.

“It’s just that Boss Chen’s back looks a bit desolate, like he’s very lonely.”

Wei Yan listened to Fang Chang’s words, looked at Boss Chen’s desolate back, and sighed with emotion.

“Kings are always lonely. Let’s not overthink it. Let’s go back and work hard, striving to relieve some of Boss Chen’s pressure.”

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng looked at each other, revealing thoughtful expressions.

No wonder,

Their fathers often held teacups, looking out the window alone, giving off a very pretentious vibe.

So this was the demeanor of a king.

…………….

The next day,

Tomorrow Group,

President’s Office.

Chen Mo looked at the specific data for the Limit Survival and tianlong games that Shen Rou had just gotten from Snowy Sky Games, and he completely fell silent.

Now, the offline competition for Limit Survival had already ended.

He just wanted to see how much traffic this Limit Survival offline competition had brought to Limit Survival.

One look, and he instantly felt a sense of despair.

Tomorrow would be May, already the season of blooming flowers, but he couldn’t feel any warmth.

From the current data, the number of players for Limit Survival had already reached 8 million.

This data was already on the verge of surpassing the original ultimate shooting game, Gun God.

After a simple calculation, Limit Survival’s monthly revenue had already reached around 85 million.

And the number of players for tianlong had also inexplicably increased by a large margin.

It was clearly an offline competition for Limit Survival, so why would it also cause the number of tianlong players to increase so much?

Chen Mo couldn’t figure it out, but looking at the 4.2 million game players, he didn’t know what else to say.

Although the number of tianlong players couldn’t compare to Limit Survival, the number of paying players for tianlong was far higher than for Limit Survival.

With this player base of 4.2 million, it generated around 50 million per month.

Calculated this way, Snowy Sky Games’ monthly revenue had already reached a staggering 135 million.

In other words,

In the upcoming May, he would have at least 135 million in revenue.

His consciousness sank into his mind, looking at the system funds of 130 million on the system panel.

This 130 million was the remaining system funds after all expenses for May, including employee salaries and taxes, had been paid out.

Originally, there wasn’t this much. He had already planned the funds very well, but he didn’t expect a sudden live streaming authorization fee to completely disrupt all his plans.

So, as calculated above, with May’s game revenue plus the existing system funds, he actually had a spending limit of 265 million this month.

More importantly, the end of May was the settlement time for the special mission. He had to spend the system funds down to below 15 million before the settlement to succeed.

Time was tight, and the task was heavy!

Chen Mo rubbed his head, which was aching, and began to write and draw on his notebook.

According to the current construction plan for the Clothing Factory, approximately 80 million in funds would be needed this month.

Next month’s procurement, taxes, daily expenses, and employee salaries would add up to about 20 million. It used to be 16 million, but with changes and increases in company employees, especially the increase in Wuliao Short Video streamers, expenses have increased significantly compared to before.

Around mid-May, the five coffee shops in the capital would also be nearing completion, and then five more could be expanded, which would be 17.5 million.

Calculated this way,

His fixed expenses for May would be 117.5 million, so he still needed to spend 147.5 million.

Looking at the final number,

Chen Mo fell into deep thought. It seemed that establishing a gaming Club had to be brought forward.

Since it was a gaming Club, the computers and other facilities certainly couldn’t be the ones currently used for office work; they definitely needed to be better and more expensive.

After all, when playing games, it was essential to ensure the computer’s smoothness.

Otherwise, if the game suddenly lagged, wouldn’t it greatly affect the players’ performance? So, on the equipment side, there could be no sloppiness.

Also, the recruitment requirements,

He had already considered it before: only recruit players who were decent but not top-tier slacker players, to maximize the chances of the team not winning the championship.

Also, no minors whatsoever. Minor players, in terms of reaction speed and hand speed, were very formidable. If he recruited a very promising genius, that would be bad.

And for minors, of course, their studies should come first. Why play games?

After thinking it over and confirming his ideas, he directly took out his phone and called Chen Cong of Tiange Club.

Chen Cong ran a Club, so he would definitely understand the details of running a Club and what kind of people needed to be recruited. He would ask him for information and then quickly establish the Club.

Inside a hotel in Jiangcheng.

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng were discussing today’s work matters.

“This offline competition was very successful. After Limit Survival’s reputation expanded, our Club’s reputation was also boosted. Just yesterday, after the competition ended, several businesses contacted us.”

Du Ziteng said excitedly. Currently, apart from the live streams of Jiang Jiu and a few others, which brought some income to the Club, there were no other sources of income.

So, ever since the Club was established, they had been continuously investing money into it.
