Chapter 722 They are so lucky
"Huluwa Studio".
After more than half a year of operation, the studio has expanded from the initial group of eight to nearly thirty people, most of whom are recent graduates of the same age.
The studio has a youthful and energetic atmosphere; the young people are full of energy and seem to be on steroids every day.
Luo Tianrui also reflected Shen Ci's spirit in his new employees, and the studio's treatment was comparable to that of a large company.
As soon as Shen Ci reached the door, she heard a cheer that seemed to be blowing the roof off. This kind of atmosphere seemed to be the norm in the studio, and Shen Ci couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He pushed open the door and entered: "What's the good news this time? I heard it from the doorway."
Shen Ci would have dinner with the studio staff every month. The new employees also knew that she was an investor, and they had heard about the eight-person group's journey countless times. In their hearts, Shen Ci was a timely help and a god-like figure.
"Aci!" Senior Peipei quickly came up to her and pulled her into the crowd: "You've come at the right time. We recently held an internal competition where employees worked in groups of three to design a small program to add new features to our Project 2.0. The winning team received a bonus and paid leave, and the designed program was added to the project and named after the team."
"That's quite interesting. Have you gotten any results yet?" Shen Ci asked with a curious expression.
Luo Tianrui explained with a smile, "Our project was already almost perfect, and there wasn't much left to add, so we thought there would only be one winner."
"I didn't expect everyone to have such creative ideas. Each group completed a new program instruction, so I just decided to give everyone an extra bonus."
A commotion immediately arose in the crowd: "Long live President Luo!"
The others joined in the cheering.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I know this is not easy for you. Although some groups' programs have minor flaws, their ideas and creativity are excellent. With everyone working together to optimize them later, they can definitely be added to the project."
Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Shen Ci was also infected and immediately said, "Since I happened to be here, I'll do my part. I'll give everyone in the studio an extra two yuan bonus and arrange for everyone to go to Yanchun Mountain for hot springs, all expenses paid!"
The employees' eyes widened in surprise, followed by a burst of joyful screams.
Luo Tianrui and the others knew Shen Ci's style of doing things and were already used to it, so they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
In the conference room, after Shen Ci sat down, she took out a stack of documents and handed them to Luo Tianrui: "Attorney Qin has reviewed the contract, and I have signed it. The second round of financing will arrive in the next couple of days."
Luo Tianrui nodded happily: "Thank you for your trust, junior."
In the second round of financing for the project, there was only one investor, Shen Ci. She simply had a lawyer review the contract and then transferred the funds without hesitation, which shows her unconditional support and trust in the studio.
Having such an investor is something many entrepreneurs dream of.
They are so lucky.
Shen Ci was already quite familiar with them: "Let's skip the formalities. As long as the project goes smoothly and is completed on schedule, that's fine. Don't worry about the money. I think the studio is already quite large. After the second project is successful, let's transform it into a company."
"R-really, is that okay?"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, but also unsure of what to expect.
Studios and companies are completely different concepts. Establishing a company means that they have their own corporate identity and will officially become a member of the industry.
"Of course, given your current capabilities, there's absolutely no problem. Furthermore, once the company is established, you can further expand the areas and businesses you can explore. At that time, the company can independently develop artificial intelligence products, which is much better than doing work for someone else, isn't it?"
"As I said, with your capabilities and my investment, we will inevitably become stronger and stronger."
Everyone exchanged excited glances; Shen Ci's words had clearly inspired them.
“Junior, the reason we’ve been so successful is because you’re our source of strength. With you by our side, we can focus wholeheartedly on our research and development.” Ge Youcai said to Shen Ci with emotion.
The others nodded in agreement, all agreeing with Ge Youcai's words.
"It's just a mutual benefit. I don't want to repeat those clichés. The project's success is the greatest reward for me."
At this point, Shen Ci looked at Luo Tianrui and asked, "Senior, have any companies already approached us about version 2.0?"
Luo Tianrui nodded: "Everyone wants to get the program as soon as the project is completed, one step ahead of others. Some companies even want to talk to us about a short-term monopoly."
The so-called short-term monopoly means buying out the first few months.
Because they all know that this program cannot be completely bought out by one company, they came up with the idea of a short-term buyout.
If you are a few months ahead of other companies, the profits you gain will be astronomical.
"However, I declined them all. I still hope that everyone can have healthy competition. Although our program has brought a great increase to the product, it is ultimately just a bunch of advanced optimization code. If these companies really want to lead the industry, they should focus on the quality of the product and the materials. That is the right way."
Shen Ci agreed with Luo Tianrui's viewpoint, which is also an important factor in the long-term stable development of the industry.
"Junior, the Li family is still persistently contacting us, and is even willing to accept three times the price of other companies." Senior Peipei suddenly mentioned the Li family.
Shen Ci sneered upon hearing this: "They will definitely be anxious, and even if they buy the program at three times the price, they can still make a profit."
"Even if it means losing money, the Li family will still want to get the program because they are more afraid of being eliminated from the industry than of losing money."
"Don't worry, junior, we will not cooperate with the Li family."
Shen Ci nodded gently. She had only one requirement for the team from the beginning, and she believed they could do it.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and an employee came in to report: "President Luo, someone from the Li Group is looking for you."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and couldn't help but mutter, "Speak of the devil and he appears."
Luo Tianrui frowned slightly, looking impatient: "Didn't you just come here last week? Why are you here again?"
“Mr. Luo, it’s not the person from last week, it’s a… young man.”
"Young man?" Luo Tianrui snorted coldly: "If you don't want to see him, just say we're about to leave work."
The employee nodded, then turned around and was startled, for the person was standing right behind him: "You..."
Li Xiao walked past him expressionlessly and went straight into the conference room. However, before he could even open his mouth, all the prepared opening remarks fell apart the moment he saw Shen Ci sitting there.
