Play Game of Life

Chapter 73 Rent office space! (310)

Lu Zhixing carefully read the contract twice to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, he was an experienced social animal in his previous life. He has stepped on all kinds of pitfalls and has relevant legal knowledge. So for things like contracts, if you read them carefully, there will be no pitfalls.

This is true of the contract signed with Team Leader Zhou before, and the contract signed with Li Rushan now.

It can be seen that this contract was finalized after Li Rushan and his father Li Shi fought for a long time. There is only one principle, and that is to move closer to the direction of charity as much as possible.

Lu Zhixing is sure that there is no such angel investment agreement in this world, and this is the only one.

The content of this contract can be summed up as follows: there is no joint liability for any loss, and 20% of the profit, and it is still capped at 14 million.

You must know that there is still 10 million principal in the 14 million, which means that Li Rushan can only earn 4 million at most from this project.

Of course, if calculated according to the general return on investment, the return on investment is very high, but the problem is that this is not a long-term profit, but a one-shot deal. There is no such thing as "pure profit after N years of return".

What's more, angel investment is a very risky project.

The rate of return of those successful angel investment projects is often hundreds of times or thousands of times. Only in this way can the losses of other projects be covered.

Li Rushan's agreement is basically no different from throwing money, and he can be called a real "angel".

Lu Zhixing could imagine how Li Rushan had to argue with his father, Li Shi, to win such an investment agreement.

However, there was an additional clause under the agreement, which attracted Lu Zhixing's attention.

That is: if this agreement triggers the highest capped profit amount, then both parties must unconditionally extend this agreement to the next project, and neither party can breach the contract.

Lu Zhixing thought for a while and said, "The last additional clause must be..."

Li Rushan sighed silently, and nodded: "Yes, this is the bottom line of my old man, and it must be added, otherwise he will not agree with my return capping rules. If I have to choose, I will definitely choose to continue if I lose money. Agreement!"

Lu Zhixing smiled slightly, knowing it in his heart.

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

Both of them were very happy and signed the contract in a hurry.

Li Rushan blew the ink on the contract, asked the assistant behind him to put it away like a baby, and then said to Lu Zhixing: "Mr. Lu, please send me the specific address of the 404 studio later. For investment projects, I It must be visited every few days, which is also a rigid rule of my grandfather."

Lu Zhixing said: "Currently the address of Studio 404 is Room 404, 4th Floor, Building 7, Freshman Dormitory, College of Game Design, Jinghai University."

Li Rushan was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Isn't that a university dormitory?"

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes, it's our dormitory. But I'm going to look for a new office in the next two days. After all, part of the income from "Ordinary Life" has already arrived in the account, and Mr. Li's 10 million, Studio 404 is considered a small company with some strength, and the office conditions cannot be sloppy."

Li Rushan regained his energy in an instant: "Yes! That's a good point, office conditions must not be sloppy, they must be full!

"If Mr. Lu doesn't mind, why don't you take me with you when you're looking for an office space?

"Although I don't have any special talents, it's not a problem to check the office space rental."

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Of course, Mr. Li, you are an investor. You must have some say in how to spend the 10 million yuan. However, I still hope that Mr. Li can only stay at the level of suggestions as much as possible. The final decision is up to me." Come."

Li Rushan was very happy: "Of course. Then when will we start work?"

Lu Zhixing took out his mobile phone and looked at the calendar: "It's better to be sooner rather than later, or tomorrow, it happens to be Monday."

Li Rushan nodded: "No problem, then I will send you an address tomorrow, let's meet there!"

...

...

Monday, November 13.

Lu Zhixing and Li Rushan met in a coffee shop under a high-end office building "Hengmao Financial Center" in the center of Jinghai.

Lu Zhixing brought Liu Bo, Lu Yixiao and Zhao Haoyan with him, while Li Rushan brought the assistant who signed the contract, a young man about his age.

"You should be Mr. Lu's roommates, right? They are the backbone of our 404 studio. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Li Rushan shook hands with the three of them one by one, thinking to himself, "Three Idiots at the New Year's Eve Party" really deserved their reputation, and they really played in their true colors when they saw each other today. The 404 studio has Lu Zhixing as a checkpoint, and with the assistance of these three people, it is indeed a lot of peace of mind.

Then, Li Rushan introduced this young man to everyone: "This is my assistant, named Qin Shang. I met him when we signed the contract. We need to rent an office space. In this regard, Assistant Qin is clear about it. Let him help us. Staff staff."

Qin Shang held a briefcase and wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite professional: "Mr. Li and Mr. Lu, don't worry, I have conducted a comprehensive investigation of the office buildings in Jinghai yesterday, and I will definitely be able to help our studio choose to the most suitable office location."

Li Rushan couldn't wait any longer: "Then let's start from this building? Let's go."

Everyone entered the building of Hengmao Financial Center. Qin Shang had already made an appointment before, so someone soon led them to see the floor that was being rented out.

However, the people in the building didn't have much chance to talk, because Qin Shang had already explained all the advantages, disadvantages and various details beforehand.

"Hengmao Financial Center is the most expensive office building in Jinghai. It provides offices for world-renowned companies and institutions. The price is 25 yuan/square meter/day, and the property management fee is 33 yuan/square meter/month. Currently, there are 33 floors available. , 37 floors and 52 floors, the area of ​​each floor and the specific number of employees that can be accommodated are different.

"Mr. Lu, how many employees is expected to be recruited by our studio? We can determine the specific area to rent based on the approximate number of employees recruited."

Lu Zhixing has already considered this issue before: "The initial plan is to divide the staff of the studio into three departments, namely the R\u0026D department, the transplant department and the action department.

"Among them, the R\u0026D department is mainly responsible for the research and development of new games. At present, about ten people are enough; the transplantation department is responsible for porting those previous games to other platforms. The number of people needed is the largest, about 30 people, the action department said separately.

"In this way, about forty or fifty people should be enough."

Qin Shang simply wrote it down in his notebook: "In this case, I think the 33rd floor is enough. The area here is enough to use even if the workstations are placed in a looser way."

When Li Rushan heard this, he frowned slightly: "How can we just call it the 33rd floor? Isn't the entire 52nd floor empty? Why don't you recommend it to Mr. Lu?

"Mr. Lu, the layout needs to be opened up. Although the 404 studio only needs forty or fifty people now, it may grow rapidly in the future? The limited space on the 33rd floor obviously limits our development!

"In my opinion, it will be done in one step, and all 52 floors will be rented. No matter how ambitious you are, you will make great progress. I understand the applause!"

Qin Shang wiped his sweat silently. Every time he came out with Li Rushan, he felt a little nervous.

Unlike Zhang Qi, Qin Shang is just an assistant, a pure tool man who unconditionally implements Li Rushan's decision. So in front of Qin Shang, Li Rushan didn't have so many pretense and cover-ups, and sometimes he just stopped pretending.

Yesterday Li Rushan told Qin Shang that he was going to inspect the office, and Qin Shang felt that something was wrong at that time.

What can make Li Rushan, who is "immovable as a mountain", go out?

The purpose of looking at office buildings must not be simple.

I came here today to take a look, and sure enough, Li Rushan directly chose the most expensive office building in Beijing, "Hengmao Financial Center", and even tried his best to persuade the office that has not officially started recruiting and only four people to rent the entire 52nd floor. .

As for Liu Bo, Lu Yixiao and Zhao Haoyan, they were already speechless in shock.

What kind of crap conversation is this?

Directly cover all 52 floors of this building? Crazy!

You can't do that even if you have money!

When they first entered the Hengmao Financial Center, it felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. There were resplendent and resplendent business people in suits and ties everywhere. The three of them looked at their youthful student appearance, and they looked like It's out of place here.

Originally, I thought it would be fine to find a corner corner of the building and rent it, but in the end, I just rented the first floor?

They looked at Lu Zhixing, which meant, Brother Lu, where did you find such a wealthy investor? I've been poor for a long time and now I'm rich, I'm not used to it...

However, regarding Li Rushan's proposal, Lu Zhixing remained silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate."
