Chapter 13 Recruiting
Xu Mingyuan took 3,000 yuan and some change from the remaining money for himself, and gave the remaining 5,000 yuan to the college student programmer, the immature Bu Jingyun.

It was Bu Jingyun who paid for the domain name. If more people use it, the server will have to be replaced later. These things can be regarded as training for college students. Xu Mingyuan would not do it himself if he could refuse.

Recruiting people is an employment relationship, which is easy to solve. Just register the people under the name of Longda Internet Cafe.

Xu Mingyuan is very familiar with contracts, and he will not suffer any loss no matter how he signs it.

Currently Xu Mingyuan is facing two problems. First, what if Bu Jingyun wants to increase the salary when he sees the huge profits? Second, if he recruits too many people, Cheng Liang will have trouble.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Mingyuan stopped worrying about it.

With him watching over us offline, nothing serious should happen.

If you want to charge more for online services, the worst that can happen is you can just find someone else to do it. If you can afford the money and have the software package, it’s not that difficult.

The only trouble is that there is no company constraint. We must prevent Bu Jingyun, who is in charge of the online line, and Cheng Liang, who is in charge of the offline line, from contacting each other alone, which would create the risk of Xu Mingyuan being kicked out. All other problems are not a problem.

As long as Xu Mingyuan feels that the money is enough, he can just withdraw. If these two people don’t want to withdraw, it’s okay to introduce them to each other.

“Come with me to Jiangcheng tomorrow. You should be free.”

“I’m free, what time tomorrow?”

“Let’s get there around 8 or 9 in the morning and take the 6 a.m. bus.”

“So early? Can’t it be later?”

“Then I’ll go by myself.”

“No, just six o’clock, I’ll call you.”

Cheng Liang blew his side bangs and shook his newly bought cell phone.

I hadn’t even warmed up to the five thousand dollars I got before I spent more than three thousand dollars on a Rotorola. I really had money but nowhere to spend it.

A brand that no one had seen in another 20 years was now one of the top 100 in the world. Xu Mingyuan had to secretly say: Mobile phones are really making money.

On the contrary, Xu Mingyuan only spent more than 300 yuan to buy a pager, and brought more than 100 yuan of his own phone bill.

This thing will be thrown away after use. Although Xu Mingyuan is not a person who treats himself badly, he will not pretend to be rich.

Going to Jiangcheng to recruit a few people is just a side job. We can actually recruit people in Nanxi, but there is no good color printing shop and some supporting things.

In 03, some people had already done offline promotion, but not many people did it.

For example, the later-appearing Zhengtu is an example of successful offline promotion. There are all kinds of large posters posted everywhere, and there will always be curious people who will try it.

Of course, the gimmick of free games accounts for a large part, but offline promotion is also indispensable.

At this time, players’ attitude towards cheating was not as strong as it would be later. Not only that, some online games would even take a tacit attitude towards players who cheated, such as Stone Age. These were strange phenomena that only occurred in the embryonic stage of online games.

Although the issue began to be taken seriously in 03, it was ultimately a spontaneous boycott by game manufacturers and it never rose to the legal level. Players naturally just cursed in their hearts, and quite a few people held the attitude of “how come I didn’t cheat?”

Xu Mingyuan made money from this time difference.

The next morning, at five o’clock, Xu Mingyuan received a call. He cursed a few words and threw the phone aside.

He said to take the bus at six o’clock just to let Cheng Liang know the time, but he didn’t say what time it was. Six fifty-nine is also six o’clock. If he can’t finish the work today, he can just stay in Jiangcheng for another day.

After being woken up, he wanted to take a nap, but he didn’t feel very sleepy no matter how much he tossed and turned. It was not until he heard rustling sounds outside that Xu Mingyuan put on his clothes and opened the door.

“Why did you get up so early?”

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi walking out of the bathroom in slippers, Xu Mingyuan asked.

“Cook noodles, brother, do you want to eat?”

“No, didn’t I give you money to buy food? You’re eating noodles every day. Is there no food at home?”

“No.”

“If you don’t have any, go buy some food and bring me some buns.”

Xu Mingyuan gave her twenty yuan.

Xiao Yangzhi had been in school for more than a week. Xu Mingyuan usually slept until he woke up naturally in the morning, so he naturally couldn’t see her. He never thought that she could get up so early to cook for herself.

I started to attend evening self-study in the third year of junior high school. Although school ended at 8 o’clock, I still had to do homework when I got home. If I got up early every day, I would not get enough sleep.

When she heard that she had to buy food, Yang Zhi put on her blue and white school uniform, picked up her shoes and went out. Seeing Yang Zhi’s light steps in her school uniform, Xu Mingyuan was inexplicably moved.

Recently he has been struggling with the question of whether to go to school or not. There is nothing wrong with eating well and sleeping well, so why bother studying?
But it’s also a bit boring. Youth is now at your fingertips. If you miss it, there may never be a next time.

Thinking of the throbbing of youth and the evasive eyes of the little girls, Xu Mingyuan felt a little excited again.

“Forget it, let’s talk about it later.”

But when he thought of his memories of senior year in high school, Xu Mingyuan still felt a little scared.

Drip!

Xu Mingyuan was walking towards the Internet cafe when he heard someone honking the speaker.

“boarding!”

Cheng Liang opened the car window and greeted them by tapping the steering wheel.

A broken black Peugeot with a scratch on the door, revealing the metal plate inside.

“Whose car?”

“My dad’s.”

“Do you have a driver’s license?”

“I just bought it two months ago.”

Cheng Liang lit a cigarette and exhaled.

I was wearing sunglasses early in the morning, and I didn’t know what I was protecting myself from before the sun came out.

“Can you drive?”

“You look down on me, don’t you? I could drive a tricycle when I was ten.”

Hearing him say this, Xu Mingyuan did not hesitate any longer. Having a vehicle was always better than taking a taxi everywhere.

“You drove your dad’s car away. Does your dad know?” Xu Mingyuan asked as he closed the car door.

“I know.”

Cheng Liang said casually, shifted the gear with one hand and stepped on the clutch, then he heard the clutch clang.

Xu Mingyuan glanced at the way he shifted gears. If he drove this broken car for half a year, the gearbox would either break or be damaged.

Moreover, this kid never speaks for sure. He must have opened it secretly. If his father finds out, he will be lucky if he doesn’t beat him half to death.

Fortunately, his father only has this one son, so he doesn’t have to beat this shameless guy to death.

“I’ll take a nap. You can drive. Call me when you get there.”

Seeing that he was quite skilled at steering, Xu Mingyuan was also carefree. He put down the chair, fastened his seat belt, lay down and began to catch up on his sleep.

When they arrived in Jiangcheng, they asked for directions along the way and spent a whole morning before finding a store that could print color posters. It seemed like they might as well take a taxi.

“This dress is too hot. How about I give it to you?”

Cheng Liang was panting with his teeth bared. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was still wearing shorts and a T-shirt, the joy in his heart had long been replaced by irritation.

Cheng Liang, who had just bought a suit, was no longer excited. The weather in September was hot and stuffy, and leather shoes and suits would stick to the body after wearing for a long time, which was very uncomfortable.

He also went to the barber shop to get his hair done, covering his head with hairspray so that no heat could dissipate, making him look like a salesperson in a 4S shop.

Cheng Liang glanced at Xu Mingyuan and said, “No wonder you didn’t buy it. It seems like you don’t suffer any pain at all.”

“We’re almost at the human resources market, so button up your collar.”

Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. It’s okay if he doesn’t dress formally, as long as he has someone who can hold his own. Although Cheng Liang looks a bit like he deserves a beating, his tall and thin figure looks quite presentable in formal attire.

I went to the staff to ask for a seat and put the prepared sign on the simple table.

Longda Technology Co., Ltd. is now recruiting product managers, with a salary ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 yuan. Salary is negotiable for those with outstanding abilities.
