Chapter 1 Boss, get ready to run away!
"Mr. Lu, this is the company's financial report for last quarter."
"The company has suffered a cumulative loss of over 2 million yuan, and currently only has 100,000 yuan left in its account."
"How about we do another recharge event and prepare to run away!"
Lu Ming rubbed his temples and looked at the logo of Jingyue Game Company at the company entrance, feeling speechless.
"Running away"
Lu Ming looked up and stared at the financial director, Lao Wang, with a look that looked like he was a fool.
"Old Wang, your thinking is very cruel!"
"As expected of someone who studied at Tilanqiao University, he's very experienced!"
"However, do you have any misunderstanding about the word 'legal person'? I am the legal person of the company. If they run away, I will be the first one to be arrested. Do you think I am stupid?"
Lu Ming sighed and felt speechless.
The company has no external debts now, so why are you running away? At most, you won’t be able to pay next month’s salary!
Lao Wang scratched his head and said with a wry smile,
"Mr. Lu, I'm really worried about you! Look, our company is in this situation now. If we don't make some money, we won't be able to pay the property management fees."
Lu Ming glanced at Lao Wang and then looked around.
In the office, developer Zhou Bowen was picking the hair off the keyboard with a noodle fork.
Su Xiaonuan from the art group was slumped in a chair, holding a cup of wolfberry tea in her hand, with a hollow look in her eyes, as if she had seen through the world.
The company's only customer service representative, Han Meimei, was wearing noise-canceling headphones and it was unclear who she was talking to.
"These people should all know the company's current situation!"
Lu Ming muttered to himself,
"But the question is, why aren't these people in a hurry?"
"Young man, you are indeed calm!"
After a moment of silence, Lu Ming stood up and walked around the office.
He traced a circle of his fingers on the workstation.
He glanced at the rows of equipment in the company and seemed to have come up with a good idea.
"Old Wang, can we cash in on these devices first? Look at these computers, digital tablets, server cabinets...if we sell them, we can get some money back, right?"
Before he finished speaking, developer Zhou Bowen suddenly popped his head out from behind the computer.
"Mr. Lu, you know I have to burn incense before any major tasks on this computer. The second-hand dealer said that one trip wouldn't cover his fare!"
"And this graphics card, eight-hand mining card, and monitor were all bought on Xianyu platform for 50 yuan!"
Su Xiaonuan also raised her digital tablet:
"Boss, my tablet was valued at 28.5 yuan on Xianyu last year, but now it's up to 30 yuan. If I wait a little longer, it should be worth something!"
Lu Ming felt somewhat helpless as he squatted in front of the computer case and looked at the server covered with yellow paper talismans.
I completely gave up this idea. It seems that this company really has nothing valuable left!
I'm so broke... I can't even sell it for a good price!
Walking back to the office, Lu Ming slumped in the peeling boss chair.
The artificial leather of the chair cracked immediately, revealing the sponge inside.
Lu Ming turned on his computer and started looking at two stand-alone games that Jingyue had previously developed.
Nice design style,
The pricing is also affordable.
There are even many innovations.
The player's evaluation is also good.
But the biggest problem is that it doesn’t make money and is not very fun to play!
This is a complete failure for a game!
Seeing Jingyue's current situation made Lu Ming feel uncomfortable. He stared out the window without saying a word.
A week ago, he was still a miserable game planner.
Because he died suddenly while working overtime to fix a bug, he traveled directly to this parallel world.
At the same time, he inherited this game company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
After a week of research, Lu Ming had a good understanding of the gaming world.
The game market, which seems to be flourishing, is actually dominated by a few sets of malignant gameplays.
First deposit of 6 yuan
Seven-day login and sign-in
648 Double Rebate
Start the game by AFK and chopping trees
As for those teams that really innovate, they will either starve to death like Jingyue, who is not popular but has a good reputation.
Or they will be acquired by big companies along with the people and creativity, transformed into patchwork monsters and put on the shelves to make money.
Thinking of this, Lu Ming clicked on the latest game news:
"Breaking News! Herring's new game is an otome game, and the pricing of the domineering president's physical shirt has been revealed!"
"[The game] requires buying at least 99 resurrection coins to clear the Demon Locking Tower. Beishan's new work sparks controversy!"
"Programmer Simulator" updates with the latest DLC, and a sneak peek at the "ICU Rescue" expansion pack!"
“…”
Lu Ming randomly found a popular article and clicked on it.
Tengqu Games launches the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Divine Beasts Love Edition" with a first deposit of 6 yuan to unlock the same mount as the Qilin!
In the news, after a movie-like CG video, the voice-over is explaining affectionately:
"We pioneered a system where mythical beasts marry and lay eggs. VIP12 can hatch SSR-level Kunpeng..."
After reading the game introduction, Lu Ming was a little dazed.
Then, he looked at the transaction data revealed at the end of the article.
"Red mark for first-month turnover of 1 billion"
Lu Ming bit his back teeth to show some envy.
"These guys make a lot of money!"
Looking at the global gaming landscape, big companies are making a lot of money.
On the other hand, small companies like Jingyue are struggling to survive. What a huge difference!
Although Jingyue Game Company has been established for many years, it has never been able to find its own positioning.
Now there is no plan to develop new games!
"Oh, it's so hard to make games these days!"
Lu Ming sighed deeply, feeling powerless.
Just as he was about to turn off the computer, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind:
[Ding! Detected that the host meets the binding conditions, the "Moral Debtor System" has been activated!]
A cold mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
"system"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic!
The benefits of time travel are here! It’s late but it’s here!
"What function"
[This system is designed to help the host become a moral debtor through the company. Every time you do something "immoral but legal", you can accumulate corresponding debt value according to the impact.]
Before Lu Ming could react, the system's voice continued:
[This system needs to be bound to a company before activation. Please bind your company as soon as possible!]
"Binding company," Lu Ming muttered to himself, "Isn't this already available?"
Lu Ming spoke quickly,
"Bind to Whale Leap Game Company."
[Ding! Host company detected: Jingyue Game Company, binding in progress...]
【Binding successful!】
【500,000 initial capital has been injected】
As the binding was completed, a translucent virtual panel appeared in Lu Ming's mind.
It shows various details:
【Company Name: Whale Leap Game Company】
[Company funds: 600,000 yuan (the host can withdraw 1% to their personal account each cycle)]
Personal property: 2159 yuan
【Moral debt value: 0】
Moral Level: None
[The current settlement period of the system is: one month]
【Moral Debt Value Cashback Mechanism】
Want to earn cashback? First, lower your reputation!
Debt value less than 1000? Not a penny!
1001～10000: Cash back × 2!
10001～50000: 4 times return
50001～100000 debt value, 6 times return
…
The cashback amount is personal property.
After reading the introduction of the system, and looking at the cashback above, you can get several times or even ten times the profit.
Lu Ming's eyes lit up, and a wicked smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This system is actually very easy to understand.
Take Jingyue Company as an example. As long as the games it makes are criticized by players, the more debt it accumulates.
At the most basic level, if he invests 500,000, he will get 1 million back!
The money was directly transferred into his account!
Moreover, these days, an annual return of 10% to 20% is considered very good.
Not to mention 2 times or even multiple times the profit, this is simply giving away money!
Besides, making money may be risky and not easy.
But paying to listen to criticism is too easy!
I was once criticized as a bad planner, but I never thought that with this system, I could make money even if I was criticized!
This is so worth it!
Sudden death should have come long ago!
Thinking of this, Lu Ming already had a preliminary plan in mind.
"Isn't this forcing me to become the public enemy of all players? This system understands me too well!"
