Chapter 33 Gu Mua Sect
Moving at the end of December.
This process lasted for an entire morning, mainly because the equipment was heavy, especially the computer, printer, scanner and ergonomic chair, which were difficult to carry.
Considering that the studio only had these "physical assets", Chen Ba simply did not hire a professional moving company.
The result is predictable...
There were three able-bodied men in the studio plus Wang Kun who helped, a total of four laborers, and they were all exhausted after moving things.
"Your place is quite spacious."
After taking a sip of water, Wang Kun looked around the new office of Tianba Studio and couldn't help asking, "With this area and location, the rent should be expensive, right?"
"Not bad, three hundred thousand a year."
Chen Ba shook his head and said, "For commercial premises like this, which are not real office buildings, the rent is actually acceptable."
It's interesting to say.
The landlord originally didn't plan to rent the property to Chen Ba because someone else was planning to rent the property to open a chess and card room, and the rent offered by that person was much higher than Chen Ba's.
But just on the eve of signing the contract, the tenant who planned to open a chess and card room was suddenly invited to have tea because of gambling in a group. This incident scared the landlord.
So he would rather rent it to Chen Ba at a lower price than rent it to that guy to open a chess and card room.
"Haha, there is such a thing?"
“I just found out about this too!”
Chen Ba smiled and said, "The landlord has other businesses, and the rent is just pocket money. It's much more reassuring to rent it to us than to open a chess and card room."
"That's true." Wang Kun nodded, looked around and asked, "By the way, your place is so empty, you should hire someone, right?"
"We're already recruiting, but no one's coming."
Chen Ba sighed.
The revenue from game sales in the first two months has already been deposited into the studio's account. With the money, he would definitely like to hire more people.
But unfortunately, the recruitment notice has been sent out for a week, and yet no decent employee has been recruited.
He also posted on the Dream Building Forum.
Things are different now. The former Tianba Studio was embarrassed to recruit people in the Dream Building Forum. Now that it has a representative work, it will naturally attract some interested colleagues to join.
But they are either in Zhonghai or in Pengcheng...
Unless Tianba Studio also moves to a first-tier city, it will be difficult to attract industry peers to join. After all, when everyone heard that the work location was in Jiangning, they immediately lost interest.
Jiangning is not too far away.
It is only about 140 kilometers from the city to Zhonghai, and it will take an hour and a half to get there by car.
It’s only a two-hour drive to Lin’an, a new first-tier city where internet talents gather.
But the awkwardness lies here...
You say it's far, but it's not far! The distance is short and it's very convenient to go back and forth. But it's precisely this distance of about 100 kilometers that makes many people unwilling to come.
"In the final analysis, we still lack some fame and appeal to talents."
Yang Dong came over and said with a little regret: "If it's an offer from a company like Tencent or Tencent, let alone a hundred kilometers away, even a thousand kilometers away, there will be no problem of no one coming."
"That's the truth!"
Chen Ba and Wang Kun nodded in unison.
Why can't Tianba Studio recruit people? Is it really because of the city of Jiangning? Part of it is.
But the main reason is that the studio is not well-known enough and lacks a certain appeal to high-quality talents in the industry.
This is also the reason why most Internet start-ups are basically based in first-tier or new first-tier cities such as Zhonghai, Pengcheng, and Lin'an.
In such big cities, even start-ups can easily recruit people. If the job location is not in the above cities and the company is not well-known, then everyone has to seriously consider whether it is worth it.
"Take your time, there's no rush!"
Chen Ba has a good attitude. Being temporarily unattractive does not mean that it will always be unattractive.
As long as Tianba Studio continues to release new works, sooner or later it will make a name for itself in the gaming industry and attract countless talents.
"It's a pity that my parents don't agree, otherwise I would really like to quit my job and join you, and become a founding member..."
Wang Kun said, "In another twenty years, you may all be worth billions, and I'll still be sitting in the office drinking tea and slacking off!"
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't moved.
With the success of two games played by Tianba Studio, everyone with a discerning eye knows that if you follow Brother Ba, you will never have to worry about food and drink in the future.
But there is no way, the pressure from home is just too great.
There was no way his parents would accept him resigning from the state-owned enterprise and doing something unreliable like starting a business with Brother Ba. After all, in the eyes of the older generation, state-owned enterprises were iron rice bowls.
“Who knows what the future holds.”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Instead of thinking about those nonsense, you might as well tell the truth. Are you the leader of the Cowherd Cult?"
Chen Ba stared at Kun Kun and said seriously, "If you confess, you will be treated leniently. If you resist, you will be treated severely. Tell me now! Do you have anything to do with this Cowherding Cult?"
"The Cowherd Sect..."
Wang Kun looked stunned and said, "What does this have to do with me? Don't talk nonsense. When did I become the leader?"
Still not admitting it?
Chen Ba sneered, having seen through Wang Kun's true face.
The forum will display the IP address.
The IP addresses of both the leader of the Cowherding Cult and the high priest of the Cowherding Cult are shown as Jiangning.
According to his investigation, two people entered his field of vision, one was Qian Duoduo, a well-known UP host in the Pili Pili game area, and the other was his good brother Wang Kun.
The leader and the high priest must be related to these two! The only suspense is, who is the high priest and who is the leader? The "Gu Mua faction" that has been making waves in the comments section of "Living in Other People's House Simulator" recently may also be related to these two people.
Damn it! The Cowherding Cult is already disgusting enough, and now there is the Gu Mua Cult, which is even more outrageous than the Cowherding Cult.
Auntie is so cool! Auntie YYDS!
The players of this new sect love the aunt in "Living Under Someone Else's House Simulator" to the extreme.
Crazy literature and abstract confession letters are nothing!
The most outrageous thing was that a certain UP host changed the lyrics of "Only Mom is Good in the World" to "Only Aunt is Good in the World", and sang it with 100% of his emotion, instantly moving countless players.
Chen Ba also watched that video.
I can only say that the video comment section and barrage are somewhat abstract.
Lines like “Aunt, how can I live without you?” and “Aunt, for you I want to turn into a werewolf” give people goosebumps.
People cannot, or at least should not...
never mind!
There has been a precedent of "falling in love with an old workhorse", and this time the Gu Mua faction can only be said to be unexpected but reasonable.
As for why there are two factions within the Gu Mua faction, one is Aunt Sai Gao and the other is Uncle Please Beat Me Hard...it is unknown.
All I can say is that players’ ability to create abstract lives should never be underestimated.
Just like Chen Ba would never imagine that someone would go to a restaurant and wash dishes day and night for a full ten years just to buy a house in a game...
