451: Founding a business

Looking at the balance in the bank text message, Ye Su smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes:

"After deducting the earnings from the great sage swimsuit and the UFO Game Studio, I still brought in over six million today!"

[Ding!]

Just as Ye Su was rejoicing over today's huge income, the system prompt sounded without warning.

[Detected that the Host's single-day income exceeded 5 million, successfully completed [Hidden Achievement - Daily Gold Inflow 1.0]!]

[Hidden Achievement Reward: 500,000 cash, 5 points of Charm, 5 points of Charm, one storage space!]

"A single-day income of over 5 million completes the hidden achievement - Daily Gold Inflow 1.0. Isn't this the same as the Big Spender 1.0 achievement completed after spending 5 million in a single day last time?"

"Looking at it this way, if I can earn ten million in a day later on, I should be able to complete Big Spender 2.0, right?"

Having already earned over six million today, the 500,000 cash, attribute points, and the storage space from the hidden achievement reward were, at best, just a pleasant surprise.

Ye Su was only slightly excited for a moment before closing the system, turning off the lights, and going to bed.

...

The next morning, after seeing Chen Xinyi and the other person off, Ye Su took out the [Craftsman Tablet], generated a design for a women's traditional han chinese clothing, sent it to Ye Jianguo, and at the same time, wired him the remaining 500,000 payment for the garment factory.

It was only the first day of the month, and Ye Su had already used up the 500,000 quota of the [Ruyi Abacus].

Afterward, Ye Su stayed home alone until nine o'clock before picking up his car keys and heading out, driving to a creative industrial park that specialized in renting out offices.

After parking the car and arriving downstairs at one of the buildings in the creative industrial park, Duan Qianwei, who had seen him first, was already waving to greet him:

"Ye Su, we are here."

Yu Haoyang and the other two didn't have classes today either.

Planning to formally begin assembling the game development team during the summer vacation, the three of them took advantage of their free time today to come over and rent the office first.

The creative industrial park they chose was located at the intersection of Yun District, Yue District, and Li District.

The building appeared to have some age, but the environment looked quite good; besides having greenery, it also appeared clean. The monthly rent for the office was only between 100 and 120 per square meter.

Compared to Grade A office buildings, which easily cost over 200 per square meter in monthly rent.

This creative industrial park found by Yu Haoyang and the other two could be considered economical and affordable, making it very suitable for a startup team like the UFO Game Studio.

Although the nearest subway station was about a kilometer away from the creative industrial park, there was a bus stop at the intersection outside the park with multiple bus routes stopping there, so the transportation could barely be considered convenient.

Ye Su pondered that, in addition to the UFO Game Studio, he could also rent a larger office here for himself.

Although Su Yingxuan and the others were currently working from home, they were, after all, in the self-media industry, so they needed a fixed office location to set up a filming base for the streamers under their banner to shoot videos.

Besides the streamers needing to shoot individual videos, there could also be an area for them to occasionally collaborate on co-created videos, mutually attracting each other's fans and traffic.

Having the offices for the self-media company and the game studio in the same park would also make it convenient for him to drop by whenever he had nothing to do.

Thinking of this, Ye Su made up his mind to rent an office for the self-media company in a little while.

"Hi." As he approached, Ye Su smiled and greeted the three of them.

After exchanging greetings, Yu Haoyang led Ye Su to the elevator and went up to office 404 on the fourth floor.

The previous tenant of this office was likely a startup team just like the UFO Game Studio.

In the office, which was about 40 to 50 square meters, there was no designated reception area; instead, there were two rows of desks where people could sit on both sides, totaling 16 workstations.

The UFO Game Studio didn't need many people at the moment, so these 16 workstations were already enough.

As they developed later on, if they really needed to expand the team size, they could rent the office next door, so there was no need to worry about not having enough space for people to sit.

As Ye Su looked around, Yu Haoyang introduced it to him:

"The area of this office is 42 square meters, and the rent is 110 per square meter. Including the property management fee, it only costs a little over 4,700 per month. With the current profits from our game, we can fully afford it."

"Alright, this place is not bad."

Ye Su didn't have any requirements for the office anyway, since he didn't need to come here to work himself.

Therefore, as long as the monthly rent was reasonable and Yu Haoyang and the others felt the environment was acceptable, Ye Su naturally had no other objections.

If not for the feeling that being a hands-off boss for too long made him seem irresponsible and indifferent to the UFO Game Studio, Ye Su wouldn't have bothered coming over this morning and would have preferred to stay at the Apartment Complex playing games.

Having obtained Ye Su's approval, Yu Haoyang and the other two stopped hesitating and signed the lease contract with the management of the creative park.

Now that the studio was profitable and had money coming into the account every day, Ye Su finally didn't have to pay for the rent, subsequent office renovations, or computers for new employees out of his own pocket.

As for the work required after renting the office, such as changing the business address at the Administration for Industry and Commerce and applying for micro-enterprise status, Ye Su handed it all over to the three of them to handle.

If everything went as expected, Ye Su wouldn't have to worry about the studio's affairs in the future; he could just lie back and collect money.

After Yu Haoyang and the other two finished renting their office, Ye Su, led by the park management, rented a large office with an area of a full 230 square meters in another building.

The monthly rent for the office was 108 per square meter, plus management fees, totaling 25,300 per month.

For an average company, the office rent alone would be a huge expense.

Fortunately for the current Ye Su, paying more than 20,000 in rent every month was completely stress-free.

Just having the [Working Cat] in the system space wave its hand for one day on a weekday was enough to cover the office rent for a month.

"I wonder if this office will be too small?"

Unlike the game studio, for the self-media company, in addition to the office area, there needed to be a place to store a pile of things like filming props and equipment.

In addition, a space had to be cleared out to set up the filming and live streaming area.

Therefore, even after renting an office more than four times larger than the game studio, Ye Su was still worried that this office might not be enough.

"If the office really isn't enough in the future, I'll just have to wait for the neighbor to move out, rent the space next door as well, and then knock down the wall to connect the two offices."

The scale of the self-media company was still small, so Ye Su didn't dwell on these issues for the time being and signed the second lease contract with the park.

[Ding!]

The moment the contract was signed, the system interface popped up before Ye Su's eyes.

[Detected that the Host has rented an office for the self-media company under their banner, successfully completed [Hidden Achievement - Founding the Enterprise]!]
