Chapter 85: Taking Advantage of the System

He edited a message in the chat software and then sent it in bulk to all the game groups and game studio groups, and of course, some individual gold farmers also received it.

Following that,

he opened Tieba again and sent the same information to several popular Tieba groups.

After finishing all this, Mei Youqian leaned back in his chair, looking pained.

He had originally intended to keep this order all to himself, but unfortunately, the drop rate for the new equipment was too low.

There was no other way; he could only spread this news to earn some profit from the price difference.

But when did Tianlong Game change like this? Didn't they used to get equipment through draws?

He remembered Tianlong Game; it was a very popular game two years ago, but later, some dog-brained planner directly changed the game into a pay-to-win game.

As long as you had money, you would be stronger than others.

This caused a lot of poor players to have a very bad gaming experience, and almost all of them quit.

Some rich tycoons, due to the decreasing number of players, also started choosing to play other games.

The only ones left in the game were unsuspecting newcomers and some old players who occasionally logged in.

Looking at it this way,

it seems that the Tianlong Game developer is preparing for a major reform this time; he wonders if it can return to its former popularity, and he should pay more attention to it in the future.

…………

Inside the rental house,

Jiang Jiu came out after taking a shower, feeling a bit tired from continuously farming equipment these past few days.

He planned to get a good night's sleep today and start fighting again tomorrow.

But when he picked up his phone and saw Hao Ge's transfer of 50,000, he was stunned.

He hadn't expected 20,000 yuan to suddenly increase to 50,000 yuan.

Did he transfer the wrong amount?

Confused, he sent a message to inquire.

Soon, he received several replies.

Looking at the content of the replies, Jiang Jiu instantly felt energized.

Hao Ge actually promised him that if any of the upcoming equipment that he didn't have were dropped by him first, they would all be 50,000 per piece.

Such a good thing!

Why would he sleep? He would just do it.

He quickly put on some clothes, went downstairs to the supermarket to buy a case of Red Bull, opened it, put it in the refrigerator, and then immediately sat back down in front of the computer.

……………

At the Clothing Factory,

Chen Mo returned to his office and started working on the sports day.

Today was Monday, and the sports day was scheduled for Friday, as employees had Saturdays and Sundays off, and their rest time could not be occupied.

Any welfare activity held during employees' rest time could not be considered a welfare activity.

Of course, this could also slow down the factory's production progress, which was like killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, he immediately called Shen Rou.

“The employee sports day will be held this Friday. Go find a stadium to rent. As for other banners, props, and also sportswear, prepare everything thoroughly. Don't be afraid to spend money.”

“After you make the plan, let me review it.”

“Okay, President Chen.”

Shen Rou responded.

After arranging the sports day, Chen Mo started brainstorming again.

Holding a sports day, just renting the venue certainly wouldn't cost much money.

The bulk of the cost would be for the prizes.

And to spend more money, of course, the more prizes, the more expenses.

Entertainment is secondary, rewards are primary.

Now, with Snowy Sky and the Clothing Factory, including both new and old employees, there were already over eighty people.

It wouldn't be excessive to get over eighty prizes, right?

Thinking of this,

Chen Mo directly opened the shopping app to see what prizes would be suitable to buy.

Finally, he selected:

15 mobile phones, 15 tablet computers, 15 laptop computers, 10 smart washing machines, 10 refrigerators, 10 air conditioners, and 10 televisions.

He glanced at the total price: over 380,000.

Why so little?

Chen Mo frowned, looking at the final total price.

380,000 yuan simply did not meet his spending expectations.

He had tested the system; with the current company scale, the cost of holding a sports day could not exceed 1 million yuan.

And it couldn't be held too frequently, limited to once per quarter.

However, if it couldn't exceed one million, then he had to get as close to one million as possible.

After thinking for a moment, he finally multiplied all the selected quantities by 2. The original 85 prizes instantly became 170, and the price also changed from over 380,000 to over 760,000.

Looking at this price, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.

But how should these 170 prizes be distributed?

According to the number of prizes, each employee would get two, with a few remaining.

Soon, he came up with a plan.

They could hold more sports events, with each event having two rounds, and 10 people could participate in each round.

Then, they could set up a point system: first place gets 10 points, and so on, down to 1 point for the last place.

Finally, the total points of all participants in all sports events would be tallied, and the person with the highest score would have the priority to choose gifts.

Each person could choose a maximum of two prizes.

Yes, that's how it would be done.

This would ensure that all employees could receive prizes.

It could also encourage employees to actively participate in the competitions, as the more events they participated in, the higher their points, allowing them to choose their favorite prizes.

Those with low points would only be able to choose from what others left behind.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Employees participate in the sports day, and as the boss, he is also a member of the company, so it wouldn't be excessive for him to participate in the sports day, right?

Then, if I participate in the sports day and accidentally win two prizes, it would also be understandable, right?

Chen Mo cautiously tested the system, and to his surprise, the system did not prompt a violation.

This was feasible.

Chen Mo was almost in tears; this dog-brained system finally acted like a human being.

Since he could also participate in the sports day, this sports day had to be well-designed.

According to the point system just mentioned, as long as he participated in one event, even if he came in last, with only one point, he could still get two rewards.

As for getting first place in points, Chen Mo hadn't thought about it.

He just wanted to design a simple and not tiring competition event, then symbolically participate to get one point.

Although he might end up choosing prizes he didn't like, he could set a rule that disliked prizes could be exchanged for cash of equal value.

The prices of these prizes ranged from about 4,000 to 6,000. Even if he chose two cheap prizes and exchanged them for cash, he could still get a small sum of nearly 10,000 yuan.

Plus his current personal funds, wouldn't he instantly become a 'ten-thousand-yuan household'?

Of course, some mobile phones and tablets could be purchased so that employees could see the physical items, which would be more motivating.

The rest was to design a competition event that was both easy and not tiring.
