Yang Jia didn't know what Li Bai had negotiated with her. Anyway, the next day, Qin Yan came to her in high spirits and said, "From now on, I'll leave these 180 pounds to you. You'll do whatever you ask!"
"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Bai Ting asked.
Qin Yan said, "You don't understand how I feel right now! Boss Li promised to help me solve my worries and deal with those stubborn old men at home. Do you think I can refuse to work hard for him?"
"Then it should be sold to our boss." Bai Ting was puzzled.
Qin Yan spread his hands. "I don't know about that. Boss Li said she sold me to Yang Jia, and I'll be working with her from now on. She's doing something I'd be interested in, so how could I not agree?"
The two men turned their heads simultaneously, staring at Yang Jia, and asked in unison, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"That's what you see." Yang Jia found a plausible excuse. "The guild's development requires money. We have the blueprints and recipes, and we have the materials, but turning them into something usable requires more investment. But the guild is broke right now, so I was thinking, can we separate this out? We could set up a company, buy the blueprints and raw materials, produce the goods, and then sell them. — Do you understand?"
Both of them were smart people, so of course they understood. Yang Jia had money, but she couldn't give it away for free, so she decided to use this business model. The guild would provide the blueprints and raw materials, and then buy them back after production was complete. This way, the actual cash outlay was quite limited, something the guild could definitely afford. Yang Jia could also earn a processing fee, which was a win-win for everyone.
Bai Ting thought for a moment and couldn't help but applaud, "This is a really good idea! Did you come up with this, Yang Jia?"
Bai Ting didn't elaborate on why. However, she still felt she couldn't fathom Zheng Yizhao. So far, he seemed quite loyal to Li Bai, but Bai Ting had always believed that with his abilities, he wouldn't be willing to remain inferior to Li Bai.
——Especially Bai Ting was also very clear about Zheng Yizhao’s feelings for Li Bai.
Even after eight hundred years, the gender gap still existed. As a relatively ambitious male, Bai Ting didn't believe he could remain subservient to the object of his affections. He would undoubtedly be plotting how to become stronger, perhaps even surpass Li Bai. Otherwise, he would remain out of Li Bai's sight, no matter how long he stayed by her side.
Given this situation, while not necessarily being wary of Zheng Yizhao, Bai Ting felt that she couldn't trust him with everything. Otherwise, if he developed ulterior motives, it would be easy to sideline Li Bai and take everything away. While some in their team were convinced of Li Bai's loyalty, they were still a minority. And not all of them were unwinnable.
In this situation, it is a good idea not to put all the eggs in one basket, but to let Yang Jia solely control the production lines of medicines and equipment to control Zheng Yizhao.
The best part was, Zheng Yizhao had no choice but to agree with this plan. After all, for him, improving overall combat power was also a necessary first step. Acquiring resources would be meaningless if they couldn't immediately transform them into advantages.
Besides, so many people who signed up for the guild or stayed in Phoenix to wait and see were all after these things. It would be funny if they couldn't produce them at all.
So Bai Ting really thought this was a good idea. She remembered that Yang Jia had stayed behind to discuss something with Li Bai yesterday, and it must be this matter. She wondered if the boss had given any suggestions, or if he had the same idea as her.
But Bai Ting felt the stakes were high. Li Bai seemed oblivious to everything, unconcerned. To her, power, fame, and wealth were nothing more than fleeting clouds, nothing compared to a sword or a gun. As long as she could still wield a weapon, getting these things would be a simple matter of words.
Yang Jia said, "I only have one idea right now. I know nothing about business management, so I can only ask Qin Yan for help. This matter can't be delayed any longer, it's best to do it quickly."
"Do you have a specific plan?" This time Qin Yan did not promise as he did before, but asked.
Yang Jia nodded and pulled out his own plan. Actually, it couldn't even be called a plan; the template was something he'd found online, and most of the content wasn't filled in yet. He'd just written down some of Yang Jia's current thoughts and ideas. For Yang Jia, a poor student, putting this together took a lot of effort.
But now that I take it out, I still feel a little guilty.
Fortunately, Qin Yan didn't seem to be showing any disdain; instead, he read it very carefully. After he finished reading the plan, he didn't speak immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment before offering his assessment. "The plan is incomplete. Many things don't exist, and some ideas are simply fantastical. But overall, many of the ideas are feasible, and some are even refreshing. I'll sort it out and make a new one later, and we can discuss it then."
"So you agree?" Yang Jia relaxed. "Thank you. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do alone."
"Don't thank me if you want to thank me." Qin Yan smiled and put down the plan. "Li Bai promised to help me deal with those people at home. From now on, they won't bother me anymore, and I can do whatever I want. I don't have any worries anymore. Your plan to start a company is also something I'm interested in, so of course I can't miss it. Let's discuss some more urgent and important issues first."
"Do you want me to step aside?" Bai Ting asked.
Qin Yan said, "No, no, if you have time, it would be better if you could take notes for us."
After saying this, he turned to Yang Jia and said, "To start a company like this, the three most important things are production materials, equipment, and professional talent. The production materials are not important; the guild can provide them. We can pay for the equipment, but it may not be suitable for our needs. So my suggestion is to recruit talented people and manufacture the right equipment ourselves. These people will be needed throughout the entire production process and for all subsequent R&D work. Therefore, talent is of paramount importance."
"This game is known as the second world, and I believe it's not just a temporary phenomenon. Its role in everyday life will only grow in importance. Players are many elites from all walks of life, and being able to utilize their strengths in the game is something they need. The emergence of these new things will undoubtedly bring about a huge impact and change to the gaming world, so these types of talents will become increasingly sought after and become the object of competition among various factions. Fortunately, we have an advantage now."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jia couldn't help but say, "The players attracted by the competition haven't dispersed yet."
And because of her advertisement yesterday, there will definitely be a lot of talented people in this field coming here, hoping to join the Nirvana Guild.
Qin Yan nodded. "Although it may be a little difficult, I hope to retain as many talented people as possible." At this point, he joked, "Maybe one day, our team will be able to develop new things without relying on blueprints and formulas."
He was just saying it casually, but Yang Jia couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart. After all, she was different from these players. As a "native," Yang Jia was already accustomed to this world and used to thinking according to its ways. She imagined the future Qin Yan had described, and she felt a little excited.
Players will definitely bring great changes to the game world. It is hard to say whether these things are good or bad, but Yang Jia knows that they cannot stand still and stay at their own pace. Only by keeping up with the pace of this world can they have the opportunity to gain more things for themselves.
So… "Perhaps we could recruit some NPCs to join us? After all, the materials and equipment are unique to this game world. Perhaps they have their own ways of handling things, which could bring some unique inspiration."
After finishing her words, Yang Jia turned around nervously, only to see the other two staring at her. She touched her face and was about to ask if there was anything wrong when Qin Yan excitedly slapped her face. "That's a good idea! I now think that working with you is a very promising career!"
"Then what are we waiting for?" Bai Ting stood up and said, "Let's go recruit people now. It would be better to choose equipment after we find the people."
"Should we register the company first?" Yang Jia hesitated. "I mean, we can mortgage the company assets to get a bank loan later. That way, our pressure will be much less. So, we should hurry up and register the company, choose an office location, and so on."
"Just let someone else do the running," Qin Yan said. "You can just step in when it's crucial. This will save a lot of time. You'll have a company in the future, so you have to get used to letting others do things for you."
Yang Jia smiled sheepishly. She knew this was a bad idea, but she couldn't change it for the time being. After all, not long ago, she had always thought of herself as just an ordinary person, planning to live a muddled life.
As the three of them were leaving, they ran into Li Bai. Bai Ting asked her where she was going, but Li Bai didn't answer, instead following them. After leaving the hotel, they came upon the Nirvana Guild's temporary consultation office. After all, staffing was limited, and many players hadn't been able to get a consultation yesterday and had stayed in Phoenix City, intending to make a decision after getting more information.
Probably after hearing that Li Bai was coming, Zheng Yizhao also rushed over quickly, bringing with him a statistical data of yesterday and today, which were all the talents recruited.
Li Bai ignored his lengthy explanation of how three of the six remaining champions had been recruited by the Nirvana Guild. Instead, she took the information and looked through it herself. She quickly read through it, closing the folder in a moment and asking Zheng Yizhao, "Are these the only special talents?"
"There are only a few who are useful," Zheng Yizhao said. "There are quite a few people who ask about it, but many of their specialties are useless in the game. I don't know what to do with these people after they're brought in, and they want special treatment. I'm afraid there's no way to do it right now. I've personally seen these few people who are good, so I kept them."
After hearing this explanation, the three people who had originally come to see someone with great enthusiasm looked at each other in disappointment.
