Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

"I've researched the game streaming industry."

Tang Bin stopped laughing and became serious. "It has potential, and it's really lucrative. I know about e-commerce too. In our Taicang district, there are quite a few factories that have set up e-commerce businesses to sell goods, and I helped arrange the rental of many of those factories."

"As for esports clubs..." He paused, then frankly admitted, "I really don't know much about that, but that's okay. I believe that since you've made a name for yourself in both live streaming and e-commerce, you must have your reasons for choosing esports."

There was something else Tang Bin didn't say.

That is, even though he didn't understand the industry, he witnessed a young man who could only afford to rent a cheap room for 500 yuan before suddenly sign a contract for an entire row of townhouses, with a monthly rent of 7,500 yuan, and the deposit plus a quarterly rent was directly spent of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

You should understand what that means.

A terrifyingly fast way to make money!

Tang Bin has worked as a real estate agent for over ten years and has seen countless startups, losses, and disappearances, but he can count on one hand the number of people who have made such a leap in such a short time.

Besides, what about the intermediary?

That's only a few dollars!

The real estate agent industry sounds like it offers freedom and can be quite lucrative, but it has a ceiling.

You can work yourself to death every day, and at most you'll only get a small commission in a month, and you won't earn anything if you stop working.

He is already thirty-six years old this year, with elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, which is arguably the age when he feels the most insecure.

Furthermore, he doesn't want to spend his whole life just showing houses to people, negotiating prices for them, and installing broadband for them.

Now, people respect themselves and extend an olive branch.

Tang Bin had to consider whether this was his only chance to change his fate in this lifetime.

"Alright, Brother Tang, since you're so generous, I'll certainly give you a warm welcome."

Lin Shu smiled and extended his hand.

"Boss, you can just call me Lao Tang!" Tang Bin quickly changed his address and respectfully shook hands.

With a clasp of hands, the matter was settled.

Lin Shu calmed himself down, his expression becoming more serious: "However, there's something I need to make clear to you beforehand. The team is just starting out, so we can't offer very high compensation for now, and there's a lot of miscellaneous work—the hard work is the least of it; overtime and staying up late are the norm."

"Of course, the position I can offer you is that of an esports club manager!"

"learn!"

Tang Bin straightened up a bit, his tone serious.

He didn't show it on his face, but he felt a different kind of emotion in his heart. This is the benefit of starting a business with young people.

Others will even apologize in advance for things like "you'll have to work overtime and stay up late after you join the company," instead of making you feel entitled to be treated like a beast of burden after you've signed the contract and started working there.

Having worked in the real estate agency industry for so many years, Tang Bin has seen too many bosses who call their employees "family" but then try to pay them nothing when it comes to wages.

They make grand promises when recruiting, but change their attitude after you join the company, as if working overtime is a blessing and staying up late is your duty.

But the one in front of me is not.

People are upfront about their problems and difficulties, and they don't even hide the fact that they can't offer high salaries.

Tang Bin felt more at ease.

This kind of boss won't turn their back on you after you've finished the work.

As for what exactly an esports club manager does, and what the industry is really like...

Okay, I'll check it out properly on the computer when I get home tonight.

While Tang Bin was making these plans in his mind, he was already getting into character aloud: "Boss, should we get the network set up first, or should I find someone to vacate an office for you first?"

He didn't even mention signing a contract.

He didn't really understand the specifics of working at an esports club, but he knew exactly what a "manager" was supposed to do.

A qualified manager is one who gets the tasks assigned by the boss completed one by one and resolves the concerns about the team's operation one by one.

Lin Shu didn't stand on ceremony with him: "We can set up the internet tomorrow. You should first have someone clean the office area and buy a desk. We'll have a short meeting tonight and sign the contract while we're at it."

"good!"

"Give me your card number."

"Huh? What?" Tang Bin was taken aback.

"Money. Money for hiring someone to clean and buying tables."

Lin Shu said, "From now on, employees won't need to pay in advance at our company. They can withdraw a certain amount of funds in advance for work-related expenses."

Tang Bin paused for half a second, then grinned and said, "Okay!"

The last bit of anxiety in my heart finally subsided at this moment.

……

Two hours later, at exactly 8 p.m.

Two row houses on a waterfront peninsula in Chengxiang Town, Taicang.

First floor office area.

The four of them sat down together at the long table for the first time in a formal manner.

Lin Shu sat in the main seat, with Zou Lin, the finance manager, on his left and Lao Tang on his right.

Customer service representative Xiao Zhuang sat next to Sister Lin, with a notebook open in front of her, her pen tip touching the paper, her expression a mix of nervousness and excitement.

The overhead fluorescent lights illuminated the entire space, while the white walls behind were still bare, and the occasional bark of a dog could be heard from outside the window.

Several unopened delivery boxes were piled up in the corner of the living room; they were office supplies that Lao Tang had someone bring in that afternoon.

All I can say is that the efficiency is at its maximum.

From an empty room that had been vacant for who knows how long in the afternoon to this bright and clean conference room with neatly arranged tables and chairs—it only took two short hours.

Lin Shu cleared his throat and spoke first: "First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone."

"As this is our team's first formal meeting, we should have treated everyone to lunch this afternoon. However, time is really tight. The base has just been settled, and there aren't many good restaurants around. So, we'll have to postpone it for now and make it up to you this week."

"I understand, I understand!" Old Tang was the first to respond.

Xiao Zhuang waved his hands repeatedly, "It's alright, it's alright, we've already eaten."

Zou Lin: "Work comes first!"

After exchanging pleasantries...

Lin Shu got down to business, "There are only four of us, so let's skip the formalities and keep the meeting under half an hour."

"Everyone got to know each other briefly before the meeting, so I won't repeat the introductions."

"The first thing—the business registration for our HWG eSports Club—is all done."

"This ground beneath our feet is the club's exclusive base."

"At the same time, this is also the office location of [Esports Goodies]. In other words, two brands, one team, all in this building for a short period of time."

Yes, it's HWG!

The name Lin Shu chose for the e-sports club he was about to establish.

Here we go!

Let's begin!

At the same time, the Chinese pronunciation is similar to "good stuff shopping".

The name doesn't have any particularly complicated meaning.

"Let's begin" is Lin Shu's declaration of a fresh start in this world, while "Haowugou" is a homophone for the name of the future e-commerce platform. Setting up e-sports clubs and teams is itself aimed at leveraging e-sports traffic and winning the attention of young people, so naturally the two must be firmly linked from the beginning.
