Chapter 62: This is a brilliant move, President Chen.
"Director Wei is here too." Zhao Bowen greeted Wei Yan, who was also in the room, politely.
Wei Yan nodded and looked at Zhao Bowen, who had rushed in, with a puzzled expression.
"I remember that Tianlong Game has always been in a loss-making state, right?"
Although he hadn't been at Cangxue Games for long, he had been learning and gathering information these past few days, so he knew a little bit about the situation with Tianlong Game.
"The main reason for Tianlong Game's losses is that the game has been losing players severely, and fewer and fewer people are spending money on it."
"But this time, someone deposited a large sum of money into the game."
Zhao Bowen explained. He had been bored this morning and casually checked the backend of several games, only to suddenly discover that the Tianlong Game account had an extra 300,000 yuan.
He curiously checked it and found that a wealthy player had deposited 300,000 yuan directly into the game the day before yesterday.
"How much money was added suddenly?"
Fang Chang asked curiously, looking at Zhao Bowen's excited expression.
Tianlong Game had experienced similar situations before.
After all, this game had been extremely popular in the past, and some wealthy veteran players who were nostalgic would occasionally spend a few thousand or ten thousand yuan without a second thought.
But he had never seen Zhao Bowen this excited.
"Three hundred thousand, exactly three hundred thousand."
Zhao Bowen held up three fingers, then showed an expression of admiration.
"I finally understand why President Chen priced that equipment set so high. The equipment price was set that high specifically for those wealthy players."
"After all, in the eyes of the wealthy, there is no difference between a few thousand and tens of thousands."
"Tianlong Game is losing players rapidly; if we kept the prices at the previous level, not many people would buy it anyway."
"But President Chen is far-sighted. He raised the equipment price to a very high level. That way, if it doesn't sell, the loss isn't significant, since it was already in a loss-making state."
"But if one or two wealthy players draw the equipment, there will be a large influx of funds."
"President Chen's move is brilliant!"
Fang Chang and Wei Yan exchanged glances upon hearing this, agreeing with Zhao Bowen's analysis.
They hadn't expected that President Chen had priced the equipment so high because he had thought so far ahead.
Fang Chang sighed. At the time, he had thought that with the equipment priced so high, no one would ever buy it.
As expected of President Chen.
"But this isn't a long-term solution, is it? If we keep releasing so many high-priced equipment sets, will those wealthy players keep buying them?"
Wei Yan frowned, his tone uncertain. After all, he wasn't a wealthy player himself, and he didn't understand the mindset of one.
Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen fell silent upon hearing this.
President Chen's approach did indeed generate revenue for Tianlong Game, but if they kept doing this, would those wealthy players really keep paying?
After a while, Fang Chang rubbed his still-full stomach and stood up.
"Don't think too much about it. President Chen must have his own ideas; we just need to follow them when the time comes."
"Go back and transfer that 300,000 to President Chen's company account first."
"So that President Chen can be happy too."
Changfeng Garment Factory,
"President Chen, Wang Maonian called to say that the cafeteria renovation is complete and wants you to come over to light the first fire in the kitchen for good luck."
Shen Rou relayed the message she had just received to Chen Mo.
"Oh, is the cafeteria finished? Let's go take a look."
Chen Mo's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Since there were still about two hours until the system settlement, it would be nice to go visit the new cafeteria.
"President Chen, you're in a very good mood today!" Shen Rou said with a smile, following beside Chen Mo.
"Am I?" Chen Mo turned to look at Shen Rou. Was he being that obvious?
"President Chen, you've been smiling all day!"
Arriving at the company cafeteria, they found a red carpet laid out at the entrance, a large inflatable arch, and flower baskets placed on both sides. It had the air of a new store opening.
"Who did this?" Chen Mo asked in confusion; he remembered not asking for any of this.
"I heard from Uncle Wang that the renovation company did it to congratulate us on the completion of the cafeteria," Shen Rou replied.
Chen Mo nodded upon hearing this. That renovation company knew how to handle things; it wasn't a waste of all the money he had spent.
"President Chen, you're here. The cafeteria is just waiting for you to light the first fire."
Just as he walked into the cafeteria, Wang Maonian came jogging over from afar with his flabby body. However, after a long period of morning runs, he had lost some weight.
"Let's go." Chen Mo nodded and followed Wang Maonian towards the kitchen.
Did this first fire symbolize the success of his system settlement today? Hmm! That was a good omen!
Arriving at the kitchen, under the gaze of everyone, Chen Mo lit the first fire.
"President Chen, the lounge on the second floor is also ready; you can go take a look. I'm going to start cooking now; the first dish from the cafeteria must be tasted by you, President Chen."
Seeing that President Chen had lit the fire, Wang Maonian spoke again.
"Alright, go ahead and cook."
Arriving at the second-floor lounge, Chen Mo looked around and found that the pool table, ping pong table, treadmill, fitness equipment, and massage chairs were all set up.
"Which one can you play?" "Ping pong, I guess." Shen Rou looked at the entertainment facilities and realized that ping pong was the only one she had played back in school.
"Let's play a few rounds and see how it feels." Chen Mo walked to the cabinet next to the ping pong table, found a pair of rackets, and handed one to Shen Rou.
After playing for a while, the food was ready downstairs, and the two went down.
"President Chen, please taste." Chen Mo looked at the dishes on the table in surprise; he hadn't expected that in such a short time, six dishes had been prepared.
He picked up his chopsticks and tasted them. The flavor was excellent, feeling no worse than those star-rated restaurants. Wang Maonian actually had some skills, Chen Mo thought to himself.
"The taste is great. I can't finish all of this by myself; you guys eat too." Chen Mo called out to the people around him.
"President Chen, I won't eat." As soon as Wang Maonian heard President Chen invite them to eat, his body couldn't help but tremble.
Yesterday at the restaurant, President Chen had forced him to eat an entire roasted suckling pig and even said it had to be finished in three bites. As a result, he still hadn't digested it yet.
Hearing President Chen invite him to eat now, the image of the roasted suckling pig couldn't help but surface in his mind. He felt like he never wanted to eat roasted suckling pig again in his life.
After handling the cafeteria matters, Chen Mo returned to his office and checked the time. It was only a few minutes until twelve o'clock. That meant the settlement would start in a few minutes! He had almost missed such an important thing. Chen Mo looked at the system panel in his mind with a smile.
