Chapter 11: Startup Funds of One Million Per Day
"Brother Yang, this is really too much..." Zhang Yan was quite surprised.
Most bosses are always thinking of ways to deduct their employees' salaries, but his boss was actually giving out red envelopes voluntarily.
"There's nothing wrong with it, just take it!" Yang Tianhua said sternly. "It's just a small red envelope, only 1,000 yuan. The benefits you've brought to the company are worth far more than that."
"Just keep working hard in the future. The harder you work, the more money I make," Yang Tianhua joked, his expression relaxing.
Zhang Yan couldn't accept this red envelope, especially since he was here to resign.
"Brother Yang, I can't accept this. Actually, I came here specifically to submit my resignation," Zhang Yan said honestly.
Yang Tianhua was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile. "Resign...? Xiao Zhang, why would you want to resign all of a sudden? Are you unhappy working here?"
Zhang Yan replied, "Not at all. Our company is great. It may be a bit tiring, but I really like it here."
"I'm resigning because I want to start my own business."
"So you want to start your own business..." Yang Tianhua looked relieved and shook his head with a smile. "Well, that makes sense. I've always known you're talented, and staying here would be limiting your potential."
"Alright, I respect your decision. Go to HR later and complete the formalities. I'll give you an extra month's salary."
Zhang Yan thought for a moment and didn't refuse, simply saying, "Thank you, boss."
Yang Tianhua waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. In fact, I'm actually relieved that you brought this up yourself."
Lowering his voice, he continued, "To be honest, our company isn't going to last much longer. Lately, I've been reaching out to other companies, trying to find a big corporation to acquire us."
"Huh?! You're planning to sell the company?!" Zhang Yan was shocked.
He knew the company was struggling and had been operating at a loss, but he didn't expect the situation to be so severe that Yang Tianhua was already looking for a buyer.
Yang Tianhua nodded. "Yes, you know that two of our three main games are card-based mobile games, and the other is a 3D martial arts RPG. These types of games are outdated in the market. We have no clear direction for new game development, and the company's losses are becoming unsustainable."
"My plan was to wait until I found a buyer before informing everyone, giving them the choice to stay or leave. Since you've already decided to leave, I might as well tell you in advance."
After saying that, Yang Tianhua sighed. "I've run this company for five or six years, and I really hate to let it go. But we haven't been able to produce a hit game, and we're just living off past successes. How long can that last?"
Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel emotional. It was the first time he'd seen his boss looking so dejected.
Just as he was about to say something to comfort him, a system notification suddenly sounded.
"Ding—The company is at risk of being acquired. The God-Level Choice System is activated:
1. Comfort the boss and tell him that he will surely make a comeback. (Reward: Title—Loyal and Righteous Employee)
2. Accept the red envelope and say, 'Xiao Yang, so you finally got what you deserve!!' (Reward: Title—Two-Faced Backstabber)
3. Acquire Youxia Games. (Reward: A hit game design concept and startup funds of one million per day.)
Note: Startup funds can only be used for business expenses, such as employee salaries and benefits, purchasing materials, and leasing office space. They cannot be used for personal spending.
The amount is one million per day and can accumulate within a calendar month. Any unused funds will reset at the end of the month."
Wow, what a jackpot!
One million per day, accumulating within the month—this meant that every month, the system would provide him with 30 million yuan to start his business!
Even though this money couldn't be spent on personal expenses, it was essentially free capital from the system. If he could use that 30 million to generate just 3 million in profit, to outsiders, it might seem like he lost 27 million.
But in reality, Zhang Yan would have actually made 3 million at zero cost!
And even though the funds reset at the end of each month, another way to look at it was that the system was simply recharging his account with another 30 million every month.
With that much money, even if he had no experience, he could still earn a few million a month.
On top of that, the system was also giving him a hit game concept. With Youxia Games' capabilities, as long as they poured money into development, the game was guaranteed to be a success.
At the same time, he could save Youxia Games and turn it into his own business. This was clearly the first step toward building his fortune!
There was absolutely no reason to hesitate. The system had just handed him an incredible opportunity.
So Zhang Yan seriously asked, "Boss, how much are you planning to sell the company for?"
