People in this world only celebrate Christmas and spring, and New Year is the most important festival for everyone.
On the night of December 31, Xie Mingzhe and his teammates watched the year-end gala until very late. It was already 22:00 when they returned to the studio. The school also gave everyone three days off during the New Year period. Yu Ke and Qin Xuan didn't have to return to the dormitory on time. There were still two hours before the New Year, so everyone simply bought some fruits and snacks and gathered together to celebrate the New Year.
Everyone ate and chatted while staying up until the early morning. Brilliant fireworks were set off outside the window. Fireworks of various colors decorated the sky, making the night sky as bright as day.
Chen Qianlin asked: "What are your wishes for the new year?"
Yu Ke was the most direct: "I want to pass the Masters Invitational Tournament and become a formal professional player!"
Chen Xiao's wish is more conservative: "I want to make it to the finals in the individual competition. Of course, my teamfight performance cannot be too bad either. I want to make it to the playoffs and try to win a trophy."
Qin Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Draw more scene cards, so that we will have more tactics to choose from in Nirvana's home court."
The wishes of the three teammates are also Xie Mingzhe's wishes, but he is actually more ambitious - he wants to win the championship. This sounds like a fool's dream. However, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a team that doesn't want to win the championship is not a good team!
When the competition really comes, who doesn’t want to win the championship?
At today's year-end ceremony, seeing greats like Fang Yu and Shan Lan holding the golden championship trophies in their respective events, Xie Mingzhe was extremely envious and really hoped that he would be the one holding the golden trophy next year.
But he was also worried that he might get slapped in the face if he spoke too confidently. Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe said: "Everyone should try their best to play well in every game and strive to leave no regrets at the end-of-year ceremony!"
Many people agreed - no matter whether they can win the prize or not, as long as everyone has tried their best, there is nothing to regret. The championship is not so easy to win, they should be more practical, down-to-earth, and play well in every game.
Chi Qing said: "I hope that the Nirvana Guild will become stronger and stronger, open more branches, and rank among the top three in popularity."
Jin Yue said: "I am now in charge of the store. I hope the business will get better and better, and we can all make a lot of money together!"
Pang Yu said: "I have the same wish as you, add one more and lose ten pounds of meat!"
Everyone laughed. Xiaopang said he wanted to lose weight, but he ate all kinds of beef jerky every day. It would be strange if he could lose weight. He is actually quite cute being so fat. If it is said that Pang Yu is the "Fat Uncle" himself, it may be more credible.
Chi Yingying said seriously, "You said before that after the club is established, you would let me be the player agent. Although I am not very good at it, I will definitely learn it well and be a qualified agent for everyone."
Chen Qianlin turned around and took out eight red envelopes from the drawer and distributed them to everyone: "Happy New Year, everyone."
Everyone was surprised that there were red envelopes to be won!
What surprised everyone even more was that Xie Mingzhe received a message from Tang Muzhou at 00:00: "Happy New Year. I won't give you any gifts. I have good news for you. The office building I asked someone to keep an eye out for has been found. You can come and take a look tomorrow."
Xie Mingzhe was overjoyed and immediately shared the news with everyone.
Everyone was very excited. The current studio has a limited area. Every time Chen Qianlin organizes players to train, Chi Qing and other guild managers have no place to log in to the game. Meetings can only be held on the dining table, which looks very shabby. It would be great if they could move into an office building, have a bright office, meeting room, training room, and separate living and accommodation areas!
Tang Muzhou had good intentions, wanting to tell his fellow apprentices the good news during the New Year. However, his news was so exciting that the nine people in Nirvana Studio suffered from collective insomnia. When they went to the agreed location the next day, half of them had dark circles under their eyes.
Tang Muzhou was puzzled: "Did you guys celebrate the New Year all night last night?"
Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "No, it's all because I was too excited and couldn't sleep."
Tang Muzhou: “…”
Facing so many expectant eyes, Tang Muzhou was fully aware of the weight of his responsibility, so he simply took everyone to conduct a field investigation in person.
This is a new property built a few years ago. It consists of two buildings connected together. One of them is an office building, where large companies live, and the other is a single apartment building. There is a skywalk connecting each floor of the two buildings. The walkway is sealed with glass and arranged into a beautiful sky garden with various plants and flowers. Thanks to the air-conditioning and temperature control, the plants will not die even in winter, and the environment is excellent.
Tang Muzhou took everyone to the 66th floor by elevator and said, "I asked someone to leave the 66th floor. The office building here is about 500 square meters. You can make partitions and decorate it into several meeting rooms, training rooms, offices and other places. The apartment building on the other side is also on the same floor. It is all single apartments of about 60 square meters. There are more than a dozen vacant rooms, which can be rented together."
The place Tang Muzhou found was simply perfect.
The location is in the bustling city center, with convenient transportation and entertainment. The whole building is well soundproofed, and there won't be too much noise on the 66th floor, so everyone can train with peace of mind. On the same floor, after passing through a beautiful sky garden corridor, you can reach another apartment building, so it's very convenient for everyone living here to go back and forth.
More importantly, this office building has a five-story food court, just like the restaurants in a shopping mall, with all kinds of food. Companies in the office building can directly order daily work meals from the restaurants, which are delivered to their doorsteps. The service is very thoughtful. Chi Qing no longer has to cook for everyone, and can focus more on the guild.
Eat, live, and work all in one place. Is there a more perfect place than this?
Xie Mingzhe was particularly satisfied. He knew that his senior must have spent a lot of time and effort to find this place. He was very grateful to Tang Muzhou and couldn't help but say, "Thank you, senior! This place is really suitable for us. The dormitory, office and training area are all on the same floor, so we don't have to spend too much time running back and forth."
He turned around and looked at his teammates and asked, "What do you think?"
Chen Xiao smiled and patted Tang Muzhou on the shoulder, saying, "Muzhou, you did a really good job on this matter. I can't find any fault with this place. But, it's in the city center, so the rent should not be cheap, right?"
Tang Muzhou said, "I have a friend who works as an agent. The boss promised to give me a 10% discount on the rent, but it has to be paid in full, annually. The annual rent is 5 million, and you have to pay for the management fee, internet fee, and water and electricity fees yourself. You should consider it."
During this period, Xie Mingzhe also checked the house prices and rents in the capital star. Usually, the better office buildings are 20 crystal coins per square meter per day, and 1,000 square meters is 20,000 per day, with an annual rent of more than 7 million. The prices are very scary. The 5 million rent mentioned by Tang Muzhou is considered cheap.
It can also solve the problems of food, accommodation and work at one time. Don’t miss this opportunity!
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhe immediately said, "I think it's no problem. We'll pay 5 million in the first year. Our capital reserves are fully sufficient, and we will make money in the future. When we make enough money, I really want to buy this place. Brother, please ask how much it will cost if you sell it, so that I can be mentally prepared."
Tang Muzhou nodded straightforwardly: "Okay, I will ask for your help. If there is no problem, I will ask the boss to come over this afternoon to sign the contract with you, so you can start the renovation and move into your new home as soon as possible."
In the afternoon, Tang Muzhou indeed invited the boss over. Nirvana was jointly established by Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao. Xie Mingzhe provided the money and Chen Xiao provided the labor, so Xie Mingzhe paid the 5 million directly with the savings in his crystal card.
It feels so good to be a rich man. In the past, he would hesitate for several days before spending 500 yuan!
Chen Xiao said that after the club is established, the specific share dividends will be discussed, and Xie Mingzhe will definitely take the largest share. Xie Mingzhe actually doesn't care much about these. After all, without the help of Brother Chen, he would not be where he is today. He is not short of money at all. Money is not very important to him. The most important thing is to be able to cooperate with these trustworthy people for a long time.
Of course, he would not be so stupid as to give most of the income to his teammates. He would distribute it reasonably and it would be best to hire a lawyer to check the contract to avoid disputes. It is said that good brothers are prone to become enemies when doing business together. He did not want to have a quarrel with Chen Xiao, so it would be better to clearly divide all the rights and benefits from the beginning.
After signing the contract, Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao went to find a decoration company and made a simple plan for the 500-square-meter work area. Neither of them was an expert in interior design, but they had their own ideas. After communicating with the designer, they quickly decided on a plan.
At the same time, Chen Xiao also made an appointment with a lawyer, and everyone signed the club's share contract. Xie Mingzhe contributed the most money, accounting for 70%, and Chen Xiao contributed the most, and all the people in Nirvana Guild were recruited by him, accounting for 20%. Chen Qianlin was the coach and played a very key role, so Xie Mingzhe gave him 10% of the dividends. These dividends were calculated based on the total income of the club, including various endorsements, advertisements, peripheral income, and guild and store income in the game in the future. All calculated together were quite considerable.
Chen Qianlin didn't want it, but Xie Mingzhe forced it on him, so he had no choice but to sign his name.
The other guild managers each received a fixed monthly salary of 20,000, and received dividends from the in-game store revenue every month. Yu Ke and Qin Xuan were both players according to their player contracts. Xie Mingzhe asked Tang Muzhou about this and referred to the contract of Fenghua Club. He tried not to treat the two teammates unfairly and even increased their treatment.
Although Nirvana currently only has income from Uncle Pang’s store, we believe that it will definitely increase in the future!
…
The decoration company they chose had a good reputation and used the best materials, which did not contain formaldehyde. After the decoration was completed, they could move in directly. The other party was also very efficient. According to the design provided by Xie Mingzhe, they decorated the work area of the office building to a brand new look.
On January 7, the office building and apartment building were all renovated, and everyone in Nirvana moved into their new home carrying large and small bags!
The apartment has a uniform layout of 60 square meters, with independent bedrooms, living and dining rooms, and a small kitchen. You can meet with some friends privately, and the privacy is very good, which is much better than the double room in the previous studio.
Because Chi Qing and Chi Yingying are girls, they chose girly colors for the decoration. The other boys were completely the same, and they bought their beds and wardrobes at the same time.
Everyone likes the environment here. It’s great to live in a studio apartment and have convenient commuting to work.
In the afternoon, we all came to visit the work area. As soon as we walked out of the corridor and the elevator entrance, we could see an electric induction glass door with the words "Nirvana Club" written in silver.
After entering the door, the first thing you see is a rest area, which is furnished with warm colorful sofas and coffee tables, as well as a snack cabinet, coffee machine and beverage machine. Whenever people are tired or want to discuss something, they can come here to rest and drink coffee. Next to the sofa, the entire wall is a floor-to-ceiling window, so you can overlook the bustling scenery of the city while resting. Standing in front of the window is really refreshing.
On the wall hangs a silver-white metal "Nirvana" club logo, which is very impressive with its high-tech design.
Passing through the rest area, there are several large rooms in a row, all separated by glass doors with good sound insulation.
The first room is labeled "Training Room" and it contains a row of neatly arranged rotating chairs and brand new smart helmets. Players can train here on weekdays in a very quiet environment.
Next door is the "conference room", which has a long table that can accommodate more than a dozen people, and a holographic projection screen that occupies one wall, making it convenient for everyone to replay the game video and discuss tactics.
Further ahead is the "guild office area", which is arranged for Chi Qing, Chi Yingying, Pang Yu and Jin Yue. There are also many empty seats reserved, so there is a lot of space, so there will be no shortage of places for new recruits in the future.
Several small rooms of about 10 square meters were separated, such as the "agent's office" and the "coach's office". Chi Yingying will work as an agent in the future and will need an independent space to talk to some people. Separating out an independent coach's office was the selfish desire of Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe, because Chen Qianlin loves quietness and when he doesn't have to be supervised during training, he can be alone and do whatever he wants.
In addition, two empty rooms are reserved, namely the "Data Department" and the "Art Department". The Data Department is a must-have department for all major clubs, specializing in analyzing league data to provide tactical ideas for everyone. A few top students from the mathematics department can be recruited to help. The Art Department currently has only two people, Xie Mingzhe and Qin Xuan. When the two of them go to play in competitions in the future, they certainly cannot spend too much time on painting. Some professional artists can be recruited to help design the club's peripheral products in the future. If, like other clubs, they set up an online shopping mall, there must be a customer service department. These are all matters for the future, and it is always right to reserve some time in advance.
After touring the spacious and bright work area, everyone was extremely excited - this is their new home, they will work here in the future, the environment is really great!
After Tang Muzhou learned the news, he came in person with Shen An to congratulate them and gave them a few very valuable ornamental green plants, which can be placed in the hall at the entrance to make the environment more cozy and purify the air. This gift is also very thoughtful.
It’s a happy occasion for Qiao’s relocation, so of course we all have to celebrate together with dinner.
Chen Qianlin hosted the party, and all the members of Nirvana, as well as his eldest disciple Tang Muzhou and his great-grandson Shen Anquan, attended. Everyone gathered together for a lively and noisy meal.
Xie Mingzhe raised his glass and said to everyone with a smile: "We finally have a new home. It's a new year, a new environment, and a brand new beginning. Let's cheer together!"
Everyone clinked their glasses and said, "Come on Nirvana!"
The red wine in the glass was drunk in one gulp. Shen An was not yet an adult, so Tang Muzhou did not allow him to drink and poured him a glass of orange juice instead.
Shen An was very confused - Nirvana would be Fenghua's rival in the future, so why should he cheer for Nirvana? Could it be that because his uncle and master were both in Nirvana, his master would betray Fenghua? ?
The young boy was puzzled and looked up, he saw that his master's eyes were fixed on his uncle, very gently.
Xie Mingzhe poured another glass of wine, raised the glass and said, "Brother, this is for you. Nirvana was able to be successfully created and moved to a new home with a perfect environment so quickly, all thanks to your help."
Tang Muzhou smiled slightly, clinked glasses with him, and joked, "If you really want to thank me, next time you meet Fenghua in a competition, just don't scare me with too weird cards."
Xie Mingzhe said bluntly: "That won't do. A competition is a competition and friends are friends. When we are really on the field, I will definitely be more attentive when playing against Fenghua and bring out the strongest lineup. That is the only way to show respect to you, my senior brother!"
Tang Muzhou: “…”
It seems that I have to be prepared to be given a headache by his various weird cards in the future.
After dinner, everyone returned to their personal apartments. Xie Mingzhe opened the official website on his laptop and checked the news.
On January 10, the National Star Card Masters Invitational Tournament will officially begin. There are only three days left before this fiercely competitive competition. It is time for him to calm down and prepare well for this Masters Tournament!
