Chapter 31 (1/2)

Manager Zhang had not imagined that response in his wildest dreams. In the past, companies he interacted with would always complain about how expensive it was since other office buildings would cost 2-3 yuan generally. The rate that Shenhua View demanded was almost double of that.

But yet, Boss Pei found it to be cheap?!

Was he trying to use reverse psychology?

Or did money not matter to him at all?

Pei Qian frowned as his mind whirled furiously.

He had initially expected this place to be around 5 yuan or so.

Based on an estimate of 5 yuan per square metre per day, a 3,000 square metres office space would cost a monthly rental of 450,000.

Where else would he find such a good deal to be able to lose 450,000 monthly without doing anything else?

Yet, the price was lower than his estimate by an entire 1 yuan.

That was akin to him losing 90,000 less a month!

That was indeed rather troubling.

However, it was still within an acceptable range for him.

The reason why Pei Qian was so panicked was because Ghost General was earning him money daily!

After all, Ghost General was still in its rise. The more recommendation spots the official platform gave, the more popular the game got. With the massive number of gamers gushing in daily, it was only natural for his earnings to skyrocket as well.

It wasn’t an easy task for him to want to lose that much money.

Pei Qian had to work harder!

…

“I’ll rent this entire floor. Prepare the contract,” Pei Qian was clear-cut.

Manager Zhang froze momentarily before bursting into a wide smile. “Sure thing! Follow me.”

A customer that was this straightforward was indeed rare to find!

Pei Qian and Xin Hailu arrived at Manager Zhang’s office and signed the contract while transferring payment over – everything was done swiftly.

With the deposit and a first month’s rental paid, he had spent 700,000 in an instant.

Pei Qian did not frown in the slightest bit. On the contrary, he was secretly delighted.

He felt the most at peace when his money was spent!

How else would he convert everything to his Personal Wealth if he did not spend all the system’s money?

As for the terms of the contract… Pei Qian did not have to worry – he had Assistant Xin for that.

Versed in finance and law matters, Pei Qian was totally at ease with her keeping danger at bay.

“Welcome to Shenhua View then! If you encounter any issues in the future, feel free to contact me. I’ll definitely settle it for you as quickly as possible,” Manager Zhang said with a smile.

Pei Qian replied with some casual pleasantries before retrieving the rental contract from Manager Zhang and handing it over to Assistant Xin for storing.

Thereafter, Pei Qian and Xin Hailu left Manager Zhang’s office and returned to the 17th floor.

…

Pacing around the empty office space, Pei Qian planned on how he should set up the company layout.

That was an important segment of losing money!

“A good working environment can not only help to raise efficiency of our employees, it can improve our company’s image too!”

“Assistant Xin, make a note and prepare a procurement slip for me.”

“The working desks and chairs must be expensive! Err, not just purely expensive. It has to be classy, elegant and top-tier! It has to be different from other companies!”

“The computers must have the best parts and even the keyboards and mouses must be top-tier! All of them must have two monitors. We are living in a telecommunications age and we’re a gaming company. Computers are our productivity!”

“We must have plants as well. Looking at plants after being tired out from work helps with relaxing. Since plants are not so easy to take care of, we have to hire a professional gardener to take care of them.”

“I think that space over there is suitable for a mini gym. There are a lot of industry related illnesses and working out often can help to alleviate those while helping employees to work better.”

“The guest room, sofas and coffee tables must not be scrimped on. It’s best if we can get a set of high-end tea set as well. Buy around eight types of different good tea leaves. If we happen to have a business meeting, we can’t serve our guests plain water.”

Pei Qian declared confidently.

Since he would be using System Funds for everything, he could do as he wished.

In any case, anything that the company could use would have to be of the best quality!

Even anything the company couldn’t use would be of the best quality as well!

Pei Qian checked on whether there was any response by the system while commenting.

Since there were no changes or warning, it meant that Pei Qian’s actions were not a violation!

Xin Hailu held onto a small notebook and took notes quickly.

“Sure thing, Boss Pei. Everything will be prepared swiftly the way you want them to be.”

“Could I check with you what’s the rough estimate of your budget?” Xin Hailu asked.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment. “Around 500,000 to 800,000. Try to steer in the direction of 800,000.”

Xin Hailu nodded her head. “Understood.”

Pei Qian did not dare to go overboard as well. Even though he wanted to inflate expenditure, he must not go overly beyond what the company required.

Take the computers that the company required for example.

On a normal basis, plain computers would work.

However, Pei Qian requested high-end computers so that he could lose money.

The system would ignore most usual high-end computers but if Pei Qian wanted to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions to purchase a supercomputer, the system would judge that as a violation.
