304: Three hundred and seventy million

Qian Ziyong asked, "Caiyi, how much cash does our company have right now?"

Zhao Caiyi was puzzled and replied, "The game has earned approximately 2.5 billion yuan so far."

"We split the revenue fifty-fifty with the platform, so we've earned about 1.25 billion yuan."

"Currently, we have over 700 million yuan in cash, and another 500 million yuan is with the Banana Game Platform."

"Given our earning capability and our excellent long-standing cooperation with the Banana Game Platform, we can request them to transfer the money within three days."

The platform can hold funds for a maximum of six months.

Of course, the platform wouldn't hold it for that long; usually, they transfer the money within a month.

This is because their previous game, "kitchen chaos," was exceptionally well-made.

It helped the Banana Game Platform earn a lot of money.

Furthermore, "Hey! Mythical Wukong" also generated several hundred million yuan for the platform.

Having helped the platform earn so much, the platform is naturally very accommodating to them.

With just a word, the money can be in their account within three days.

After hearing Zhao Caiyi's words, Qian Ziyong quickly calculated in his mind.

A total of 1.25 billion yuan, half for dividends, which is 625 million yuan.

Adding the money from Feihuang Restaurant and the fixed assets acquired during this cycle,

No matter how he calculated, it exceeded 1 billion yuan.

Dividends can only be distributed from profits, and game companies are somewhat unique; once a game is developed, revenue flows in continuously.

So the system is more lenient in this regard: as long as the revenue exceeds the investment, all the money can be distributed as dividends.

However, it can only be distributed once; all subsequent revenue from the game cannot be distributed a second time.

Regardless, even after the dividend distribution, his funds would still exceed 1 billion yuan.

Qian Ziyong gritted his teeth and said, "Dividends! Caiyi, take half of the money the game company currently possesses and distribute it as dividends!"

"Also, tell the Banana Game Platform to expedite the transfer of funds; we must receive all of it within three days."

"Once we have it, don't hesitate; distribute the dividends immediately!"

Once dividends are decided, no more dividends can be distributed in the next cycle.

Therefore, it's necessary to distribute as much money as possible to the employees.

"Dividends?" Zhao Caiyi was surprised by this news. "Boss, our company is at its peak right now."

"We can build on our success and create 'Hey! Mythical Wukong 2.'"

"With the experience we've gained, we can definitely make it even better in five months this time."

"Developing a 3A game requires a large sum of money. Why not keep these funds and invest them in the next game?"

"Boss, the salaries you've given are already more than enough, truly more than enough; please don't distribute more money!"

Qian Ziyong was furious: "Distribute, it must be distributed!"

"I will distribute it personally!"

"The next game is the company's business; distributing money is your business."

"Today's business is finished today; tomorrow has its own matters, and the next game is the next game's business. How can they be mixed together?"

Hearing that Qian Ziyong seemed to be getting angry, Zhao Caiyi trembled.

He didn't expect the boss to be so determined to distribute money to them.

"You wait, I'm coming right now!"

"Oh, and call the bank; tell them to transport half of the money the game company currently has over here."

"Also, you and the others in the company should figure out how to distribute this money!" Qian Ziyong instructed.

Zhao Caiyi was startled: "Transport half of it over?"

"740 million yuan, half of that is 370 million yuan?"

"So much money transported to the company, all to be distributed?"

He didn't realize it until he calculated, and the calculation made Zhao Caiyi's heart pound even faster.

370 million yuan?

So much red money, all to be distributed just like that?

"What? Is this money not taxed?" Qian Ziyong asked curiously.

Zhao Caiyi quickly shook his head: "As per your instructions, all the money is profit after taxes have been deducted."

"All this money can be distributed, it's just... I didn't expect you, boss, to distribute so much money!"

Qian Ziyong waved his hand: "This is just the beginning, this is only the first batch.

Once the Banana Game Platform settles the money, along with three days of sales, we will distribute it again."

"It's estimated there will be another 370 million yuan or more, and we'll distribute it again."

Qian Ziyong was already impatient to distribute all the money. He urged, "I'm flying over right now. Before I arrive at the company, you need to have the money ready and the distribution plan finalized!"

Fortunately, it was Shen City; if it were Han City, getting several hundred million yuan would probably take a few days to prepare.

...

Qian Ziyong was very fast, arriving at the game company that afternoon.

When Qian Ziyong pushed open the door and entered the company, all the employees stood up and applauded him.

Besides the employees, Chen Jingfu and Sun Youan, a few older brothers, were also there, applauding Qian Ziyong heartily.

"Ziyong, you are truly amazing."

"Your series of operations single-handedly made the game explode in popularity."

"Besides earning a lot of money, you also struck a blow against Doyle Jais."

"Jaes's game, 'Next: Not Dawn,' now has dismal sales and has been surpassed by our 'Hey! Mythical Wukong'!"

"'Hey! Mythical Wukong' is not only popular in China but also a huge hit abroad."

"Just in these few hours, 'Hey! Mythical Wukong' successfully sold another 100 million yuan!"

"It's now on the homepage of the Banana Game Platform, giving our game a huge wave of recommendations!"

"Ziyong, your series of operations is truly dazzling and overwhelming!"

Chen Jingfu was very excited and, along with Sun Youan, each holding a bottle of champagne, opened it on the spot.

Everyone was flushed with excitement, and many had tears in their eyes.

"Hey! Mythical Wukong" succeeded!

When they were making this game, they had no confidence at all.

It was the boss who gave them ideas and set the overall design for them.

It used a pure Chinese style!

They buried themselves in making the game, lacking confidence, but the boss was constantly in the group chat, cheering them on and encouraging them.

If it weren't for the boss's support, they truly didn't know if they could have persevered.

After the game production was finished, the boss again invested a large sum of money into promotion.

Besides investing money, the boss also personally posted messages on the official website from time to time, hyping up the popularity.

The entire game, from the initial project establishment to the final promotion, the boss participated in it all.

In addition to directly providing them with design plans, he also gave spiritual support and the greatest financial support!

Without the boss, there would be no success today!

Ju Yewei stepped forward: "Boss, without you, the game wouldn't have succeeded."

"You are the greatest contributor to the game; you are the game's chief designer!"

Qian Ziyong's face darkened.

What?

The game succeeded, and you're blaming me?

This game's success was all created by you people; what does it have to do with me?

Do you know how hard I worked to make you fail?

Knowing that the Chinese style isn't popular, I deliberately made it in the Chinese style.

Knowing that foreign countries were also making 3A games, I timed it perfectly to go head-to-head with them!
