Chapter 34: Making a killing - First day of closed beta ends



Sophie's message sparked discussion among some people.

Most of the students were mocking Sophie for joining a shady company and working with that good-for-nothing Parsons, saying she was just wasting her life.

Some more rational students advised everyone not to jump to conclusions.

Sophie saw their discussion and curled her lip.

On the three virtual screens in front of him, bills kept scrolling. If this company was a shady operation, he was willing to be one.

Everyone makes different choices, so it seems these people can't be his colleagues.

Sophis scratched his head and sent a message in the group chat.

"The company has a business license, and as an accountant, I cannot violate professional ethics by publishing the company's financial statements. But I really think Lingtian Company is a good company, and those who are interested can talk to me privately. I am currently in charge of the finances."

Sophie's words caused another uproar among the crowd.

"What the hell? After joining Lingtian, I'll be your subordinate and work for you? Are you crazy?"

—You've never received a scholarship in the entire department, so what makes you think you can be a leader?

—Haha, I report to you about my work every day, you have such a big face.

—Tsk tsk tsk, you joined a day early and became a leader? This company truly lives up to its reputation as a fly-by-night operation.

Sophie smiled but said nothing when she saw these words.

He was indeed quite lucky; he joined the company a day early and became a long-term employee.

It is very difficult for a person to assess the situation and make the most advantageous choice.

Lingtian Company is just starting out, with few employees and few leadership positions.

However, once the company has grown and the team has expanded, the most recently hired employees will definitely be able to secure a junior management position.

Sophie didn't intend to explain the stakes involved, because no one would believe her even if she did.

He took a sip of his nutritional supplement, closed the chat window, and returned to his work.

A few hours later.

He rubbed his tired eyes and saw three private messages.

The first person said, "I want to join your company. This is my resume."

The second person to message Sophie privately was a classmate he knew, who jokingly said:

"I want to go into the company first and see if I can sign a contract. If it's a scam, I can just run away."

The third person, to Sophie's surprise, directly stated:

"I saw your newly released game. I'm a fan of your game and I'd like to work for your company. Please give me a chance! Here is my resume. I hope you can approve my application."

Sophie was somewhat surprised; this game had only been released for a dozen hours and already had fans?

It seems their company is really going to be a hit.

After reviewing the resumes of the three individuals, Sophie replied to those who met the job requirements:

"Welcome to our company. This is the HR contact information. Add them and if you are interested, you can sign an employment contract."

After a short rest, Sophie, who had been promoted to a junior manager, got back into work mode.

He hopes to see the newly hired finance staff by tomorrow to help him with his workload.

Night fell.

A row of moons appeared in the sky above the capital planet.

Just after midnight, Sophis immediately put down what he was doing and began to calculate the data that Parsons had just sent him.

These figures represent the game's sales on its first day.

First recharge bonus, monthly card, annual card, lifetime card, game energy pack, lottery ticket pack, diamond pack.

The sales revenue of each game item is enormous.

The gift packs are interconnected; recharging is like releasing a floodgate—once the floodgates are opened, they can't be closed again.

An hour had passed by the time Sophie finished calculating all the data.

He sent the financial statements to Parsons.

"President, on the first day of the game's closed beta, sales reached 24.9 million credits."

The company's estimated annual revenue is around 9 billion credits, with a 40% tax rate, resulting in a turnover of approximately 5.4 billion credits.

Based on the company's current size of 7 people, the net profit is still 5.4 billion credit points.

I've also compiled a payment time curve; please take a look, Mr. President.

Players' shopping desires are strongest after 10 PM, and those who open the recharge page almost always choose to pay. This is considered impulsive spending.

Among them, the diamond game gift pack is the most severely out of stock. It is recommended to remove it from the shelves or replace it with other products; this could increase sales by 2%.

Inside another dormitory building.

Parsons was sitting on the bed, turning on the isolation shield.

Everyone else in the dormitory was asleep, but Parsons was still working.

Seeing today's sales figures and the company's future overall profits, he could only excitedly gnaw on his fingers to keep from screaming.

After a long pause, he said:

"Please withdraw this money. The chairman has requested that all daily earnings, after deducting taxes, be deposited into the boss's personal account."

Although they are now a legitimate company, it is still a sole proprietorship owned by the boss.

Moreover, they operate in the gaming industry, which does not involve production chains or loan collateral.

Profits and working capital, after taxes are paid, can all be transferred to the owner's personal account.

Those who don't transfer funds to private accounts are trying to evade taxes.

Many companies evade tax audits by using company bank transfers to conduct charitable activities, make donations, and establish foundations.

Although Sophie didn't know why his boss had to honestly pay taxes, he did it anyway.

The 14.94 million credit points were immediately transferred to Chairman Han Ling's account.

After requesting a transfer from the bank, Sophie yawned.

A busy day is finally coming to an end.

He glanced at the enterprise software; the company, which originally had 7 people, now had 29.

It seems that the company has only recruited this many people in the entire afternoon.

At this time.

Parsons, who held the title of president, said in the group chat:

"With the on-campus recruitment over, we will be launching recruitment activities at other universities in the next few days, mainly to recruit senior talent to make our company more dynamic."

Parsons spent the entire afternoon in his dorm room conducting interviews.

He discovered a serious problem.

Their company is currently a makeshift operation; even the president is newly appointed, and the chairman is a hands-off manager.

They must recruit top talent and establish the company's daily basic operations.

Where to find top talent? There's plenty on Capital Star!

Interstellar universities must be established on Class A planets to prevent them from being destroyed by interstellar beasts.

The capital planet, being an S-class planet, has 100 basic universities and 4 super military academies.

Qiming University, where they studied, was only ranked in the middle among basic universities.

Parsons plans to reach out to top schools to recruit the company's best employees.

They say your perspective is determined by your position.

Parsons, who previously scoffed at top schools, has now taken a management position and begun to consider the company's interests.

Schools cannot represent students' abilities, but they reduce a company's margin for error and save screening time.

I drew an A-rank student from an A-rank card pool.

It's much easier to get an A-rank student from a C-rank gacha pool.

Just as the Parsons 7 were discussing which top university to recruit from the next day.

Chairman Han Ling suddenly appeared.

Moreover, he appeared with a huge sum of money.

Chairman Han Ling transferred 2 million credit points to President Parson.

Chairman Han Ling transferred 500,000 credit points to CFO Sophie.

Chairman Han Ling spoke with the HR manager...

Chairman Han Ling spoke to the customer service manager...

Chairman Han Ling addressed the after-sales customer service manager...

Chairman Han Ling, to…

A series of large transfers made everyone in the company green with envy.

Parson stared at the transfer, his neck veins bulging with excitement. He slammed his fist on the bed, feeling that his day had been worthwhile!

The new employee was furious to see that he wouldn't get a share of the transferred funds.

At this moment, Han Ling said in the group chat:

"Thank you all for your hard work on the first day of the game's paid beta test. Today was a test for our company, and we appreciate you all for running the game so well. These credit points are compensation for your all-nighters."

In addition, we hope everyone will continue to work hard. During the next six days of testing, there will be red envelopes sent out every day.

Thank you all for working overtime! New employee, keep up the good work!

After saying that, Han Ling sent 20 lucky draw red envelopes worth 50,000 credits each in the group.
