Xu Zhe nodded and said, "So it's very simple. Set up a branch company, or a subsidiary company. Create another company, let my current main company invest in it, and you will also be one of the shareholders. Then the games we make will be put under the name of the subsidiary company."

The key point is that for him, the risk of the subsidiary partnership plan is controllable. If something goes wrong with Shen Lan, it will not affect the original main company.

"Will you let me be a partner of the subsidiary company..." Shen Lan pondered, then smiled. "Well, this arrangement is good, but I still have a question."

Xu Zhe: "What's your question?"

Shen Lan: "Since you have so much money now, why don't you just hire some programmers?"

Xu Zhe scratched his head. "On the one hand, it's path dependence. I'm used to writing code by myself, but I've never done things like recruiting, managing, and directing. Of course, more importantly, we need offline face-to-face communication when making games. We need people who can truly identify with me and implement my ideas without compromise. Programmers found randomly on the Internet can't guarantee their level, and it's difficult for them to do this."

Shen Lan was still a little confused: "But there are so many game companies that don't make such requirements when they recruit employees..."

Xu Zhe spread his hands and said, "Because they have already formed a pipeline. A pipeline is a complete workflow. They know what resources to call and what templates to apply when encountering a problem. But I don't have this experience. I only have the experience of working alone in a small workshop. If I recruit online and work online, I am sure the project will become a big stinky mess."

What he couldn't say was that in his previous life, he had participated in a similar project. The leader was inexperienced but ambitious, and the blueprint was extremely grand but the details were all blank. As a result, the project completely collapsed amid the mutual buck-passing and slacking of employees, and the final product was not even a pile of shit.

The shit mountain that programmers often complain about at least has an outline, but the final product of a project that completely collapses seems to be so thin that it is impossible to even salvage it.

Xu Zhe continued to explain: "In fact, it is not impossible to recruit a few more capable programmers and plan carefully, but the problem is that the cost is too high. If the new project fails, the annual salary plus social security of ten programmers can bankrupt the company. But the efficiency of ten programmers working together may not be as good as that of one programmer of mine working for a few months. In this case, why don't I continue the existing successful experience?"

Shen Lan thought for a moment, "So that's how it is. You want to be as cautious as possible... So, the ski escape project is for the two of us to do."

Xu Zhe: "Actually, it's mainly you who should do it."

Shen Lan: "What about you?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "I'm thinking about the fourth game project. Like Ski Escape, it has a little bit of innovation, but it is very small in scale and can be completed by a single programmer with more time."

Shen Lan crossed her arms over her chest: "In other words, you want to set up a subsidiary company, and we will both be shareholders. You are the big boss, and I am a small shareholder. But I am the only one doing the work, right?"

Judging from her expression, she was obviously not satisfied.

Xu Zhe encouraged him, "You will be fine!"

Shen Lan stared at him closely and bit her lower lip, as if she had something to say that she wanted to express.

Xu Zhe was unable to see what girls were thinking before, but now he could vaguely guess a little bit.

So he added, "We'll still work together. If you have any questions, you can ask me in person, but we may not be working on the same project. How do you feel about this?"

Before she finished speaking, Shen Lan laughed: "Then I have no objection, as long as I am not the only one working hard."

Xu Zhe was certain that what made her unhappy was not the "hard work" but "being alone". As long as they could spend time together, she didn't mind doing more work, because it was something she liked anyway.

Shen Lan asked again: "How did you come up with the name of this subsidiary?"

Xu Zhe had already thought about this, and answered without hesitation: "Lan Zhe Technology, how about it?"

The two names were put together.

Shen Lan's eyes lit up - if this company became famous in the future, wouldn't that mean their relationship would be announced to the whole world?

With the help of Song Xingye's father, Uncle Song Huaifeng, the procedures for establishing the company were quickly completed.

Lanzhe Technology has a registered capital of 70 yuan. Its major shareholder is Chongkai Technology Co., Ltd., which invested 30 yuan and holds % of the shares. Shen Lan invested in technology, accounting for % - it seems like a good deal to get shares without paying a penny, but she is the one who is mainly concerned about the games that the company will make next, and she will do all the work from now on.

Shen Lan did not argue with him about the shareholding ratio. It was of course impossible to tell who was at a disadvantage and who was at an advantage, and neither Xu Zhe nor Shen Lan wanted to take advantage of the other in this matter.

So when deciding the ratio, Shen Lan asked for a lower one, while Xu Zhe asked for a higher one, which led to another interesting "negotiation" scene.

Of course, Song Huaifeng had secretly guessed about the relationship between this partner named Shen Lan and Xu Zhe. However, Xu Zhe simply explained that she was a silver medalist in the NOI competition, and Song Huaifeng had no objection. He knew little about informatics competitions, but he also roughly knew the value of the national silver medal.

That's quite a lot...

After Lanzhe Technology was established, Xu Zhe immediately used the account of this subsidiary to purchase a laptop online.

Considering that Shen Lan will continue to live on campus in the future, it will certainly be more convenient for her to work with a laptop.

On the morning of the delivery, Mr. Shen had not yet left the house. He had just put on the leather jacket he usually wore when riding a motorcycle when he saw his daughter signing for a package at the door.

After closing the door, Shen Lan picked up the cardboard box and turned around, only to see her father with a curious look on his face.

The girl tilted her head: "What's the problem?"

Father Shen pointed at the box and asked, "Why did you bring this outer packaging in?"

Shen Lan thought about it and realized that she really didn't need to take the express box to the bedroom. She could just open the box at the door and take only the computer. But because of the habit she had developed in the past two years, she didn't want her father to know.

But in fact, it was impossible to hide it. Because Shen Lan was still a few months away from turning 18, she had to ask her father to help her register the company.

So at this moment, Father Shen could guess: "Is this what your company needs?"

Seeing that there was no way to hide it, Shen Lan put down the cardboard box and opened it at the door.

When Mr. Shen saw what was inside, he couldn't help but be a little shocked: "Laptop? This thing is not cheap!"

Shen Lan said calmly: "It's indeed not very cheap."

My father couldn't help but ask, "Did that kid Xu Zhe buy it for you? How much did it cost?"

Shen Lan: "Eight thousand yuan. But dad, I want to correct one thing. Xu Zhe didn't buy it. He and I made the decision and bought it with the money from the company account. And this computer essentially belongs to the company, but the right to use it was given to me..."

Father Shen sneered, "Isn't the company's money all earned by that kid? When they say 'belongs to the company', it's for your use. What's the difference between this and buying it directly for you?"

Shen Lan curled her lips: "Humph, there is a big difference. I won't say more, just go ride your bike."

Father Shen shook his head and sighed, "Where is the little girl who hugged my thigh and begged me not to ride my bike?"

Shen Lan: "How dare you say that... Never mind. Thanks to you for always leaving me at home, I developed the habit of reading and studying on my own."

After the girl finished speaking, she picked up the computer and accessories such as the charger and went into her bedroom.

The father picked up the car keys, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked to his daughter's room and knocked on the door.

Shen Lan had already sat down at the desk, looking at her brand new laptop.

She turned her head and asked, "What else?"

Father Shen whispered, "What is your relationship with that guy now? I know he is very capable. I have never seen anyone so young who can make so much money. But sometimes it is not a good thing for a man to be too capable..."

Shen Lan looked at him quietly, and when he could no longer speak, she chuckled twice.

"Haha, so you want to remind me that he will be a bad man?"

The father looked a little embarrassed. "I can't say it's bad, but it's definitely not ordinary. I just want to remind you, don't let others sell you and then help them count their money."

Shen Lan asked back: "Do you think I'm that stupid?"

Father Shen: "It's hard to say. No matter how smart a person is, they will become stupid when they fall in love."

Shen Lan shook her head. "Then let me put it another way. What do you think he could have cheated me of? He spent all the money, he taught me how to do it, and he was the one who got the inspiration for the project. I was the one who took advantage of him from the beginning to the end."

Father Shen hesitated for a while, then smiled bitterly: "Forget it, you can do it yourself. But I want to remind you that in my eyes, you are the real priceless treasure. What he is tied to is your future."

Shen Lan raised her little face: "Do you know how great his project concept is? If it succeeds, it may be another game that earns 100,000 yuan or even more a month. Even if you are a student of Tianhua University, is it possible to do such a project right after graduation? I can do it before I even go to college!"

From his daughter's determined eyes, Father Shen realized that he could not shake her determination. Of course, he did not intend to shake his daughter, but just wanted to remind her of the risks.

What is the worst possible outcome?

The project failed and the company went bankrupt? But Lanzhe Technology is a limited liability company, so Shen Lan, as a minority shareholder, will not suffer any loss.

From the father's perspective, the worst possibility is that his daughter will completely fall for that brat. What's more frightening is that from all the signs, this probability seems to be getting higher and higher... But it's really hard for him to control her. He was used to letting his daughter do whatever she wanted in the past, and he was used to his daughter's independence and self-reliance. Now he doesn't know how to intervene.

Father Shen could only helplessly pick up his motorcycle helmet and go out to look for speed and passion.

The door opened and closed, and Shen Lan was the only one left at home.

The girl did not turn on the phone immediately. Instead, she stared at it blankly, running her hands over the cold body of the phone.

She suddenly couldn't help laughing and murmured to herself: "Is this considered common property?"

Shen Lan knew that her father's reminder made sense. She didn't need to think too far ahead. Right now, there were two other girls who had an ambiguous relationship with Xu Zhe besides herself. Shen Lan still didn't dare to believe Song Xingye's "withdrawal from the competition" back then, but no matter what, the risk factor of that childhood sweetheart was quite high and could not be ignored.

However, Shen Lan felt that those little girls were just having an ambiguous relationship with Xu Zhe at most. How could they maintain spiritual communication and business cooperation with him like she did?

"Haha, the common property is not just the computer, but also the company!"

Thinking back on the little things they had done together over the past few days, including the details of Xu Zhe cooking for her, Shen Lan's confidence grew.

218. Chapter 217 216 I must reflect on this

218.

2023-10-10

On a morning in early August, Xu Zhe sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the rising sun outside the window, feeling a little confused.

He carefully reviewed the past July and found that although there was progress on the third game project, more time and energy were still spent on the three girls. Looking back more, it seemed that it was not just July that went astray.

It has been almost three years since my rebirth.

Three years have passed and now it is the fourth summer vacation. What changes have taken place in your mental journey?

The first summer vacation——For those who are reborn, it is our duty to change the world!

The second summer vacation - focus on both competition and entrepreneurship to lay a solid foundation.

The third summer vacation - I am here for the informatics competition, and top universities are waiting for me.

Fourth summer vacation - no nosebleed is a victory!

Summing up, Xu Zhe couldn't help scratching his head: "This is really off track. No, we can't go on like this. Xu Zhe, you have to cheer up and work hard!"

He walked out of the bedroom, went to the study, turned on the computer, and started programming the fourth project.

He had a good idea for the third project, "Ski Escape", but because it was a little different from the prototype of the previous life's popular "Temple Run", he always felt unsure. This project was handed over to Shen Lan.

He is going to work on his fourth and more promising project, the prototype of which is "Happy Match 3".

But not long after I started working, there was a knock on the door.

When Xu Zhe walked over and opened the door, he saw Tang Lingfei with a rosy little face.

In order to prevent the other party from asking for "go out with me" or something like that, Xu Zhe said first: "I really don't have time. I have to work today. I will be at home in the morning and go out to work in the afternoon."

Tang Lingfei: "Can you work with me in the morning? I want to study too."

As she said this, she held up a book, which was a self-study textbook on electric guitar.

Xu Zhe raised a reasonable question: "To learn a musical instrument, it's not enough to just read the book, right? You should practice while reading."

Tang Lingfei: "But if I practice piano next to you, it will disturb you."

Xu Zhe: "So it's more suitable for practicing alone."

The girl shook her head vigorously: "That's too boring! I read in the morning and practice piano in the afternoon, how great is that!"

The plan was reasonable and seemed like something that should be agreed to. If it was Xu Zhe from a few days ago, he would have nodded in agreement and let the girl in.

But today he did not agree, but continued to refuse: "Not so good, I really don't have time today."

Tang Lingfei begged, "I know you're busy, I'll be busy with you!"

Xu Zhe still disagreed and raised his right hand to make a firm gesture of resistance, but was suddenly caught by the girl in front of him.

Tang Lingfei grabbed his right hand with both of her own, shook it, and said coquettishly, "Brother, why can't I be busy with you? Brother..."

Xu Zhe tried to pull back his right hand, but as he kept calling out "brother", his struggle became weaker and weaker.

Finally, he said, "Okay, okay, then you read next to me."

Tang Lingfei then let go of his hand and smiled sweetly, "Okay!"

Xu Zhe turned around and touched the area above his lips and below his nostrils with his right hand, which was a little sweaty from nervousness.

Although I still couldn’t hold on...but no matter what, not having a nosebleed is a victory!

Xu Zhe returned to the study and sat down in front of the desktop computer.
