Fu Xin was also confused, as he remembered telling Chen Ke that the rent upstairs was very expensive.

Zhou Datong: "Yes, there are, but the rest are all large office areas." The implication is that the rent is even higher.

Chen Ke: "Then take me to see it." Expensive is good; otherwise, how can we spend all our money?

Zhou Datong led the two to the fifth floor. The office area there was indeed large and had a wide view, so the working environment was at least quite good.

Zhou Datong was just about to start introducing himself.

As it turned out, Chen Ke had already decided, "Okay, let's go with this place."

Zhou Datong thought he had misheard. "Huh? What?"

Chen Ke: "Let's go here, the environment is not bad."

Zhou Datong: "The rent here is 100,000 yuan a month."

······

Even after signing the contract, Zhou Datong still felt like he was dreaming.

He thought he wouldn't be able to meet his sales target for the month, but in just two hours he signed a big deal. The client didn't nitpick or complain about the rent or agency fees, and signed the contract without hesitation.

Afterwards, Zhou Datong was very grateful to the two and insisted on treating them to dinner, but Chen Keyi declined, saying he had other things to do.

However, I left him my phone number and asked him to help me find a suitable apartment to use as company housing.

As company dormitories? This is another big order, and Zhou Datong was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

As they parted ways, Chen Ke suddenly asked, "Did the person you talked to on the phone that day go house hunting with you?"

Zhou Datong asked instinctively, "Which one?" Only after the words left his mouth did he realize that Chen Ke had probably just asked casually. He smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I made too many calls in a day. Not many people agreed to go see the house, and even fewer actually closed a deal."

Chen Ke: "It's okay. Hard work doesn't guarantee success, but without hard work, success is impossible."

Everyone who strives for success deserves to be treated kindly by life.

"Thank you." Zhou Datong expressed his sincere gratitude.

You're welcome, goodbye.

After Zhou Datong left, Fu Xin slowly came to his senses. The little money in their account was about to run out!

"It's okay, the money will come."

Chen Ke was telling the truth, but Fu Xin thought he was just spouting platitudes.

"Let me tell you, Mr. Chen, I haven't drunk chicken soup for many years."

Chen Ke was completely confused. Having not yet had time to surf the internet, he had no idea what "chicken soup for the soul" meant.

So when I had dinner with Fu Xin that night, I ordered a big bowl of chicken soup.

With tears in his eyes, Fu Xin drank bowl after bowl.

Chen Ke: "Is that enough? Order another one if you're not satisfied?"

Fu Xin: ······

Chen Ke entrusted Fu Xin with setting up the office space, and specifically instructed him with four words: "Don't skimp, there's plenty of money!"

With a decent company location in place, the next step, of course, is to recruit people.

Thinking of this, Chen Ke served Fu Xin a bowl of chicken soup, saying, "You'll be busy soon, drink more to nourish yourself."

Fu Xin: Thank you, he really doesn't want to drink anymore, he's already full from the water.

······

That night, Chen Ke lay in bed and opened the Shenhao Entrepreneurship System.

"The Godly Tycoon's Entrepreneurship System"

Entrepreneur: Chen Ke

Age: 22

Personal Funds: 986

Entrepreneurship Levels: Beginner

Startup Funding: 0

Usage period: one month / 2 days

Wealth Conversion Ratio: To be determined

Chen Ke looked at the zero startup capital and clicked on the wealth conversion ratio. Although he hadn't made a profit yet, he knew that he might get lucky with this thing someday, so he clicked on a low ratio first, which would make it easier to convert later.

A spinning wheel appeared, and soon the pointer stopped at the bright red 10:1.

Chen Ke immediately got excited; he was having good luck!

Although it wasn't the highest ratio of 100:1, Chen Ke was already very satisfied.

After spinning the roulette wheel, Chen Ke refreshed his startup funds. He had previously discovered a bug in the startup system: it didn't require the company to be profitable before refreshing the startup funds.

This means that once Chen Ke uses up his startup funds and spins the roulette wheel, the system will update the startup funds for the next stage.

As for profit or loss, it doesn't seem to matter, because that's what the host cares about.

After all, if his company can't make a profit even once, he'll still be penniless, even if the company is valued at 100 million.

However, he plans to try to buy a car tomorrow and register it with the company, since daily transportation is a considerable expense for him who only has about 900 yuan a month.

While Chen Ke's mind was wandering, the startup fund had already been refreshed.

Startup Funding:

Great, the money can be spent on renovations, hiring people, and buying cars, and we can even refresh the budget again before the World Expo.

Chen Ke was shutting down the system and preparing to go to sleep when his phone rang.

Heavy metal rock music, accompanied by hysterical screams.

It's Friday today, and none of the three people in my dorm have come back. The phone ringing in the quiet room is quite abrupt.

It's time to change the ringtone; this weird, shrill sound is awful.
