Chapter 574 Maximizing Benefits

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Fortunately, although there are two kitchens on the first floor, they share a large dining room. Otherwise, it would be a bit crowded if there were so many people here at once.

Originally, I didn’t plan to ask anyone to help me with the lunch meal. After all, all the guests came today. However, time was tight and the tasks were heavy. Xu Ye and Chen Qingqing alone couldn’t cook so many dishes in a short time, so Xu Ye finally decided to do it. Qin Zhiwei and Shen Xinyi called into the kitchen to help. Li Tongwen and Zhang Xiaoyan, who came later, also came empty-handed. They bought a lot of braised products, which also saved Xu Ye a lot of trouble.

Of the people who came to the house today, the oldest one is the proprietress Pei Youwei, followed by Yu Jiaying, Zhao Ming and Ren Fei. The others are basically 21 or 22 years old.

This meal is purely a gathering among friends, without any purpose or generation gap.

According to the rules at home, the more lively the house is the better today, so after lunch, Xu Ye went to the utility room and pushed out a mahjong table he bought at the furniture store. When he saw the girls at the mahjong table, his eyes It was all lit up, and Yu Jiaying was the most excited. Before the chairs were set up, she walked over and shouted: "Come on, come on, come and play mahjong with me."

Zhang Ruowei pulled Jiang Yu over and walked over. Shen Xinyi was a novice and didn't dare to play, and neither did Zhang Xiaoyan. Upon seeing this, Ren Fei volunteered to be a guest.

After Xu Ye pushed out the mahjong table, he threw two decks of cards to Zhao Ming and said, "You guys play first, I'll clean up the kitchen before coming over."

While the others were eating, drinking and playing mahjong, Chen Qingqing had already silently cleared the table. Xu Ye put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher. After starting it, he saw that Chen Qingqing stood in front of the food processor and tinkered with it for a long time without starting it. He quickly walked up and said, "What's wrong?"

Chen Qingqing said with a sad face: "There is no response when I press the switch. Could it be that I bought a bad one?"

Xu Ye glanced at it, then pressed the switch on the socket, and then clicked the start button on the food processor. The food processor immediately started up.

Chen Qingqing was stunned.

She thought about the machine for a long time, but she didn't expect that the switch was not turned on.

Xu Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Just tell me if you are a fool?"

Chen Qingqing raised her foot and wanted to give Xu Yelai a kick. Fortunately, Xu Yelai had quick eyes and quick feet and immediately took a step back. Then he came forward, held both sides of Chen Qingqing's face and kissed her quickly before running out of the kitchen. .

Seeing that everyone outside was having fun, Xu Ye sat down next to Qin Zhiwei. Yang Fei asked curiously: "Xu Ye, why didn't Zhang Xinzhou come today?"

"He returned to Pengcheng and said there was something going on at home."

"No wonder."

After Qin Zhiwei finished playing his cards, he said: "After the National Day holiday, I plan to divide the technical department into two groups. One will continue to work on the unfinished projects before, and the other will specialize in developing "Danzi Star" and may continue to recruit people. people."

Xu Ye nodded and said, "We can recruit people through internal referrals."

"good."

Zhao Ming asked curiously: "How many people do you have in your game company now?"

Qin Zhiwei blurted out: "There are seventy-two people in total."

"Isn't that going to be more than Qingye's investment soon?"

"There is no way." Xu Ye explained: "There is no saying that there is strength in numbers in the capital market, but the game market is different. This industry has changed a lot. We must reserve our strength to prepare for the future."

"How about I quit my current job and I can get along with you in the future."

"Pull him down, you are willing, but your uncle is not willing yet."

"That's not necessarily the case."

"Our temple is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you."

"Stop laughing at me."

The mahjong table next door was also busy chatting.

After Chen Qingqing brought the squeezed fruit juice to the living room and handed it to them, she also sat down next to the landlady. Pei Youwei asked with a smile: "Are you tired these two days?"

"It's okay, I don't feel very tired."

"This place is quite far from your school. If you live here in the future, what are you going to do over there at the school?"

Chen Qingqing was about to reply when Zhang Ruowei rushed to reply: "Boss, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. I had a phone call with my supervisor two days ago. She said that as long as we can get the internship certificate with the official seal, we will Can you stop going to school?”

Shen Xinyi asked: "Really?"

"Really, I asked Zhao Ming to prepare an internship certificate for me. You two are working at YW anyway, so you can ask Xu Ye to help you get an internship certificate."

"That's great." Shen Xinyi laughed happily.

Qin Zhiwei comes back so late every day and has to take himself to school in the morning. It would be false to say that he doesn't feel bad. Now if he doesn't have to go to school, on the one hand, he will save a lot of things, and on the other hand, it will save Qin Zhiwei a lot of things.

Jiang Yu also smiled and said: "Then we can be considered 'liberated'."

After saying that, Jiang Yu held up the freshly squeezed orange juice: "Come on, come on, have a drink quickly."

Ren Fei listened to their conversation and sighed with a smile: "I envy you so much. I started working at Yunshuizhai as soon as I graduated from college. In addition to all kinds of customers, I also lost contact with all the friends I met in college. It seems that after graduation, if you want to gain something, you have to lose something.”

When the girls among them were chatting happily with each other.

On the table next door, Qin Zhiwei's cell phone on the table rang. After Qin Zhiwei handed the cards in his hand to Xu Ye, he answered the phone directly.

"Hello."

“…”

“It’s me, who are you?”

“…”

“Oh, what’s up?”

“…”

Qin Zhiwei frowned, was surprised, and kept saying “um” and “ah” after talking for a long time. After hanging up the phone, several people looked at him.

"Xu Ye, you may not believe it, but the person who called me was the vice president of the game sector under the interactive entertainment business group of Penguin Group."

Xu Ye was very calm: "What did he say to you?"

"He said he wanted to talk to me about acquiring or investing in Ark Interactive Entertainment."

Zhao Ming glared and said, "So soon! Penguin came to your door?"

Qin Zhiwei's heart was also in turmoil, but he was still calm. Seeing that Xu Ye didn't say anything, he asked, "Xu Ye, what do you think?"

"Hang it for now."

"Hang it?"

"Yes." Xu Ye nodded and said, "Neither refuse nor agree. Even if we talk about acquisition or investment now, we can't negotiate a good price. We have to at least wait until "Egg Star" comes out... No, one game is not enough. We have to create as many popular games as possible to maximize our profits."

Zhao Ming quickly gave a suggestion: "Since Penguin has taken the initiative to come to you, you can take the initiative to contact NetEase and let them compete for the price first, and you can also buy some time in the middle."

"Wei Ge, do you understand?"

"Yeah."
