Chapter 33 Aunt Sect
At the end of December, we moved.
This process lasted all morning. The main reason was that the equipment was relatively heavy, especially computers, printers, scanners and engineering chairs, which were very difficult to carry.
Considering that the studio only had such "physical assets", Chen Ba simply did not hire a professional moving company.
The result can be imagined...
The three strong men in the studio plus Wang Kun who helped, a total of four laborers, were all very tired after moving the things.
"Your place is quite spacious."
After taking a sip of water, Wang Kun looked at Tianba Studio's new office and couldn't help but ask: "With this area and location, the rent shouldn't be cheap, right?"
"Not bad, three hundred thousand a year."
Chen Ba shook his head and said: "A commercial building like this is not a real office building, so the rent is actually acceptable."
It's interesting to say.
The landlord originally did not plan to rent to Chen Ba, because someone planned to rent his place to open a chess and card room, and the rent they offered was much higher than Chen Ba.
But just before signing the contract, the tenant who planned to open a chess and card room was suddenly invited to have tea because he gathered people to gamble. This incident scared the landlord.
So he would rather rent it to Chen Ba cheaper than rent it to that guy to open a chess and card room.
"Haha, is there such a thing?"
"I just found out too!"
Chen Ba smiled: "The landlord has other businesses, and the rent is just pocket money. Renting to us is much safer than opening a chess and card room."
"That's true." Wang Kun nodded, looked around and asked, "By the way, your place is so empty, so you should still need to recruit people, right?"
"We are already recruiting, but no one is coming."
Chen Ba sighed.
The revenue from game sales in the first two months has already been transferred to the studio's account. If he has money, he will definitely want to recruit a few more people.
But it's a pity that the recruitment notice has been sent out for a week, and so far no decent employee has been recruited.
He also posted on the Dream Building Forum.
Today is different from the past. In the past, Tianba Studio was too embarrassed to recruit people in the Dream Building Forum. Now that it has a masterpiece, it can naturally attract some interested colleagues to join.
But they are either in Zhonghai or Pengcheng...
Unless Tianba Studio also moves to a first-tier city, it will be difficult to attract industry peers to join. After all, everyone immediately lost interest when they heard that the workplace was in Jiangning.
Jiangning's location is not too remote.
It is only about 140 kilometers away from the city to Zhonghai. If you drive, you can get there in one and a half hours.
It’s only a two-hour drive to Lin’an, a new first-tier city where Internet talents gather.
But the embarrassment lies here...
You say it's far, it's really not far! The distance is short and it is very convenient to go back and forth. But it is precisely this distance of hundreds of kilometers that makes many people reluctant to come.
"In the final analysis, we still lack a bit of reputation and attraction to talents."
Yang Dong came over and said with a hint of regret: "If it's an offer from a company like Goose Changzhu Factory, let alone a hundred kilometers away, even if it's a thousand kilometers away, you won't have to worry about no one coming."
"That's the truth!"
Chen Ba and Wang Kun nodded in unison.
Why can’t Tianba Studio recruit people? Is it really because of the city of Jiangning?
Partly yes.
But the more important thing is that the reputation of the studio is too low and it lacks certain attraction to high-quality talents in the industry.
This is also the reason why most Internet start-ups will basically take root in first-tier or new first-tier cities such as Zhonghai, Pengcheng, and Lin'an.
In such big cities, it is easy for start-ups to recruit people. If the work location is not in the above cities and the company's reputation is very low, then everyone has to seriously consider whether it is worth it.
"Take your time, don't rush!"
Chen Ba has a good attitude. Just because he is temporarily unattractive does not mean that he will never be attractive.
As long as Tianba Studio continues to launch new games, sooner or later it will make a name for itself in the game industry and attract countless talents.
"It's a pity that my parents don't agree. Otherwise, I really want to resign and join you guys and become an entrepreneurial veteran..."
Wang Kun clicked his tongue and said, "In another twenty years, you may all be worth hundreds of millions, and I'm still sitting in the office drinking tea and fishing!"
He was lying when he said he wasn't moved.
With the success of Tianba Studio's two consecutive games, anyone with a discerning eye knows that if you follow Brother Ba, you will definitely have no worries about food and drink in the future.
But there is no way, the pressure from the family is too much.
It is impossible for his parents to accept his resignation from a state-owned enterprise and then start something unreliable like starting a business with Brother Ba. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, state-owned enterprises are an iron rice bowl.
"Who knows what the future holds."
"Instead of thinking about what is there and what is not, why don't you tell me honestly, are you the leader of the Cattle Herding Cult?"
Chen Ba stared at Kun Kun and said with a serious expression: "If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be strict. Tell me quickly! Does this cattle herding cult have anything to do with you?"
"Cow Herding Cult..."
Wang Kun looked dumbfounded and said, "What does this have to do with me? Don't talk nonsense. When did I become the leader?"
Still don’t admit it?
Chen Ba sneered, having seen through Wang Kun's true face.
The forum will display the IP address.
The IP addresses of the leader of the Cowherd Sect and the high priest of the Cowherd Sect are both listed as Jiang Ning.
According to his investigation, two people came into his sight. One was Qian Duoduo, the owner of the well-known game area UP in Perak and Perak, and the other was his good brother Wang Kun.
The leader and the high priest must have something to do with them!
The only suspense is, who is the high priest and who is the leader?
There is also the "gu mua faction" that has been causing trouble in the comment area of "The Survivor Simulator" recently, and I am afraid it is also related to these two people.
Damn it!
The Cowherding Cult is already disgusting, and here comes the Gu Mua Sect. This sect is even more outrageous than the Cowherding Cult.
Aunt Sai Gao! Aunt YYDS!
Players of this new sect are absolutely in love with the aunt in "The Survival Simulator".
Any epileptic literature or abstract confession letters are all trivial!
The most outrageous thing was undoubtedly a certain UP host who changed the lyrics of "Only Mom is Good in the World" to "Only Aunt is Good in the World" and sang with 100% emotion, which instantly moved countless players.
Chen Ba also watched that video.
I can only say that the video comment area and barrage are somewhat abstract.
"Auntie, how can I live without you?" and "Auntie, for you I will turn into a werewolf" make people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
One cannot, at least one should not...
never mind!
There has already been a precedent for "falling in love with an old scalper". This time the Gu Mua faction can only be said to be unexpected but reasonable.
As for why there are two factions within the Aunt Mua faction, one is Aunt Saigao, and the other is Uncle Please Beat Me Hard... This is unknown.
It can only be said that the abstract integration ability of players cannot be underestimated at any time.
Just like Chen Ba would never have imagined that in order to buy a house in the game, someone would go to a restaurant and wash dishes day and night, for ten years...
