“Stop thinking about all that nonsense. The most pressing matter right now is figuring out how to spend all this money as quickly as possible…”

Pei Qian stood on the rooftop of the dormitory building, feeling the cool breeze of the approaching autumn and contemplating his next move.

“Just buying all the resources necessary to make a game is too slow!”

“Where are the main costs of running a company? Rent, utilities, office supplies, employee salaries…”

“If I add all of those together, won't the monthly expenses skyrocket?”

“Hmm… That's right, let's calculate it roughly.”

Pei Qian took out his phone calculator and quickly did the math.

“The first week made 500,000. Next week will only be more. Based on a monthly revenue of five million, the net income is around two and a half to two million six hundred thousand…”

“The following two months will definitely decline somewhat, but a sharp drop is unlikely.”

“The next settlement is in three months.”

“Estimating conservatively, the net income for three months will definitely reach more than six million…”

“Damn it, what have I done?!”

“If I do nothing, the personal property converted is 60,000 yuan; if I lose it all, the personal property converted is 500,000…”

“Hiss… the difference is too big, isn’t it?”

“In other words, I have to try to lose six million in three months…”

“Think, where does money go the fastest?”

“Rent the most expensive office space, calculated at 5 yuan per square meter per day, rent 3,000 square meters, which is 450,000 a month.”

“Hire thirty employees, calculated at an average salary of 5,000… no, 7,000 yuan per month, which is 210,000 a month.”

“Why do I feel like this is a drop in the bucket…”

“Other people open companies and find these burdens heavy, why do I feel like they’re too cheap?”

“Calculate all the company's office supplies at the most expensive price? That should cost another million or so, right?”

“Hmm… spending money like this is indeed much faster.”

“But… it feels so troublesome. Finding office space, hiring employees, purchasing company goods, I've never done any of that before.”

“Forget it, let’s plan for the long term…”

Pei Qian got a headache just thinking about having to recruit people and find an office location himself.

Because in his previous life, he had never done these things, and he neither liked nor was good at them.

Too tiring!

But to spend money, this is obviously a relatively quick way.

Pei Qian decided to put it aside for now and consider the problem again tomorrow.

…

Back in the dorm.

“Brother Qian! The game is a hit! Can we go out for a big meal?”

Ma Yang's eyes were full of anticipation.

“Uh…”

Pei Qian remembered that he had indeed told Ma Yang before that he would treat him to a buffet costing more than fifty yuan to celebrate.

“Okay! Let's eat!”

Although he didn't get 300,000, he still had at least 2,000 yuan…

With an income of 2,000 yuan, it wouldn't be too much to spend a hundred or so on a meal.

But Pei Qian still felt completely unhappy…

There was a decent buffet restaurant just across the street south of the school, averaging 58 yuan per person, which was already a very luxurious meal for students in 2009.

Pei Qian sat in his seat, watching Ma Yang carry several plates of cake and a large glass of juice with a blank expression.

The barbecue at this buffet was given per person, but there were some dishes in the public area, including cakes, stir-fries, fruits, and so on, that could be taken at will.

Ma Yang was obviously eating with the mentality of getting his money's worth, and his goal was probably to walk in leaning against the wall and walk out leaning against the wall.

“Brother Qian, why do I feel like you have something on your mind?”

“Sure enough, your rich second-generation nature is becoming more and more exposed!”

“This game is a success, earning at least tens of thousands of yuan, right? Why are you still frowning? Could it be that you have higher demands for yourself?”

“Besides, you don’t even glance at so much delicious food!”

Ma Yang asked vaguely while stuffing his face.

Pei Qian looked at the food on the table, casually picked a few pieces of meat and put them in his mouth, feeling bored.

Although he was just an ordinary wage earner in his previous life, he had eaten a lot of high-end buffets in the capital, and he didn't think there was anything delicious about eating this kind of cheap buffet again.

The main thing was that he wasn't in a good mood right now, so of course he didn't enjoy the food.

He wanted to lose money! How could he lose money?

At this time, Pei Qian especially envied Ma Yang.

Carefree and clueless about numbers.

Ma Yang didn't understand the game's profit model and thought that Pei Qian had earned tens of thousands of yuan.

But in fact, Pei Qian had earned more than 500,000 in a week!

It's just a pity that he couldn't spend a single cent…

“Hey, it's nothing, it's just that I've been busy with the game recently, a little tired, and I need to rest.”

“After all, starting a company is a tiring thing.”

Pei Qian casually agreed.

“Brother Qian, I have to criticize you.”

Ma Yang finished another piece of cake: “You are now at least the boss of a company, how can you not pay attention to your health? You can't do everything yourself, hire an assistant, and leave all the work to her, how great!”

“Hire an assistant?” Pei Qian was stunned.

Ma Yang nodded: “Yeah, hire an assistant. I see so many TV dramas that are played like this, the domineering president drives a luxury car to pick up girls every day, anyway, he just doesn't do serious things, and all the company's affairs are left to the assistant to do. As the saying goes, if something happens, the secretary will do it, if nothing happens…”

“Hey? Old Ma, you are a genius! I really need an assistant! And it must be a professional assistant, the kind that is especially capable!”

Pei Qian was suddenly inspired!

Of course, what Pei Qian was thinking was not the same thing as what Ma Yang was thinking.

Ma Yang's mind was full of the plot in the TV series. He simply felt that the boss should have an assistant by his side, so he suggested it.

And what Pei Qian was thinking was that with this assistant, couldn't he just leave the money-losing methods he had thought of before, such as renting office space, hiring more employees, and purchasing office supplies, to the assistant to do?

…

…

The next morning.

Pei Qian sat in the customer service center of Exxon Headhunting in Jingzhou City, drinking tea, waiting for the arrival of the headhunting consultant.

This customer service center actually has a lot of headhunting consultants, but Pei Qian has spoken, he only wants the most senior headhunting consultant here, the regional manager level!

So, he needed to wait a bit.

Pei Qian was not in a hurry, anyway, he had plenty of time.

He had already decided to hire an assistant.

As for how to recruit, Pei Qian actually had many options.

For example, posting recruitment information online for interviews, or simply looking for one at the school.

But, none of these met Pei Qian's requirements.

One was slow, and the other was not high enough!

He was too lazy to bother with interviewing himself, and it was difficult to recruit an assistant with particularly strong personal abilities online.

What Pei Qian wanted to recruit was a real workplace elite, the kind who could stand alone, preferably someone who could fully understand his intentions with just a word and quickly and qualitatively complete the task.

After thinking about it, Pei Qian felt that it was more reliable to go directly to a headhunting company.

Of course, the disadvantage was that it would cost more money.

But for Pei Qian, since he was spending system funds anyway, he couldn't ask for more!

Waiting was boring, so Pei Qian opened his phone and casually browsed the web.

As a result, he accidentally brushed a game review in the game area of a portal website.
