Chapter 58 Okay (Happy New Year)
game?

Tang Yao was a little surprised to hear this answer, but not too shocked.

Because she knows the situation in this world.

We are currently in the golden age of online games. This industry is so profitable that it seems that last year's richest man made his fortune from games.

It's normal for some people to want to get a piece of the pie.

However, when everyone in an industry knows how to make money, it means that the industry structure has been determined, the era of big fish in big waters has passed, and the industry begins to enter the stock market. Market competition intensifies and becomes fierce... In short, the industry is starting to get competitive.

In this case, users and revenue are concentrating and solidifying on the leading products in each track, and there is a high probability that those who enter the market again will become cannon fodder.

But... again, online gaming is a 'cash cow' business, it's really very profitable.

Even though they knew they would become cannon fodder, many people still continued to rush forward.

The most important thing is that this parallel world is not like Tang Yao's previous life. Although the pattern has been determined, it has not yet reached extremes... Games with the same themes and the same gameplay, in the most popular categories, are basically PKs between the top companies, and mid-level companies are crushed, not to mention newcomers, who have no living environment at all.

There are still some here, although not many.

This has led to many people wanting to try it.

In this situation, it is normal for her to meet a "colleague".

"..."

the other side.

Li Xue was quite surprised to hear this answer and couldn't help but look at Tang Yao.

The staff followed Li Xue's gaze and were a little surprised.

What?
Are you renting an office to make games?
Of course, he wasn't so EQ-low as to ask that.

Soon, the contact agent came back and took Tang Yao and Li Xue to the Science and Technology Trade Center two blocks away.

"Is it okay?"

On the road.

Li Xue lagged slightly behind Tang Yao, standing shoulder to shoulder, and whispered, "The other party is also a game developer, and it seems he failed..."

"It doesn't matter. The other party's failure doesn't affect me."

Tang Yao turned around and chuckled, "Could it be unlucky?"

“That’s not the case…”

Li Xue shook her head: "But I'm worried that you'll be affected and feel uncomfortable. After all, a failure example is always in front of you..."

"That might be a wake-up call."

Tang Yao said indifferently, "It's okay. Besides, the game I want to make is probably different from theirs. As long as the price is right, it's not impossible to share the rent."

Li Xue thought about it after hearing this and said nothing more.

soon.

The three of them came to the science and technology trade center.

Although the name sounds impressive, this is obviously an old office building, only a Class C building with basic communication facilities and office services... The overall area is not large, hidden in the downtown area, and it looks a bit old and out of place.

I don't know how such a building was preserved in this prime location...

But Tang Yao was quite satisfied, after all, it looked very cheap.

Several people took the elevator to the seventh floor.

"Mingyu Technology."

Tang Yao walked out of the elevator...saw the name of the company on this floor and read it out softly.

The intermediary seemed to be very familiar with the place and walked straight in with Tang Yao and Li Xue.

Tang Yao looked around as she walked forward.

The seventh floor rented by Mingyu Technology is not very big. After all, the science and technology trade center does not occupy a large area... There is no one at the front desk, and around the front desk is the office area. Two rows of workstations extend forward, separating several areas, but in most areas, there are only computers on the desks, and no people.

Tang Yao counted the people in such a big company and found that there was only one area with only seven people, and most of them looked half dead and just wanted to get by.

After Tang Yao approached, she looked at the sign of that area - Operations Group.

The staff at the agency said that this company is about to go bankrupt... Tang Yao doesn't think that's the case.

——It’s already over.

She thought as she moved forward.

As she and Li Xue approached... everyone in the operations team, the only group still staying in the company, raised their heads and looked at the two of them, their eyes filled with amazement.

Of course, there are more doubts.

The agent did not greet them, and of course did not explain. He took Tang Yao directly to the office at the end and knocked on the door gently.

soon.

The door opened.

A man who looked younger than Kang Ming, in his twenties, opened the door.

He was an ordinary-looking man with long, messy hair like a chicken coop. He wore a yellowed white T-shirt on the upper body and ripped jeans on the lower body. There was eye boogers in the corners of his eyes and his face was sallow... His whole body exuded a dying aura.

"Brother Zhang, the roommate you just mentioned..."

The man seemed to be very familiar with the agent. As soon as he opened the door, he greeted the agent in a familiar manner and started talking about business.

But just as he started, he noticed the two people behind the agent...

No matter from which angle you look at them, Tang Yao and Li Xue are both super beauties under conventional aesthetic standards, the top of the class, each with their own merits. So when the man found himself being stared at by the two, he was stunned.

Then, he came back to his senses, seemed a little flustered, and subconsciously reached out to tidy up his hair, then patted his yellowed white T-shirt...

However, no matter how much he tidied himself up, it seemed to do nothing to improve his image.

The agent was not surprised, as he had just done the same thing... so he got straight to the point and said, "These two are the ones who want to share the apartment."

"Uh...hello, hello."

The man seemed even more nervous after hearing this. He wiped his palms on his trouser legs and introduced himself: "My name is Si Jinliang."

"Tang Yao...where can you rent for me?"

Tang Yao gave her name. Li Xue didn't say anything. She looked at the other person and assessed the degree of danger he posed.

"Then let's go over there and sit down and talk."

When Si Jinliang heard Tang Yao's words, he subconsciously turned his head to look at his office, then smiled awkwardly and closed the office door directly.

Right door.

Tang Yao glanced and found a quilt spread out on his office desk... He truly treated the company as his home.

But she didn't say it out loud and nodded in agreement.

soon.

A few of them found a few empty workstations outside and sat down.

Si Jinliang seemed to seldom deal with people like Tang Yao. After sitting down, he began to look around, opened and closed his mouth, and looked like he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he made up his mind and cut the politeness short, saying directly, "Ms. Tang Yao, right? How much space do you need? This is over 200 square meters. If you need it, all..."

"I don't need such a big place. I just need an office space because there aren't many people here."

But before he could finish his words, Tang Yao interrupted him: "Excuse me, can I rent it there?"

Say it.

She turned and pointed to the row of partitioned offices near the door.

The door was open and there was a sign hanging saying "Finance Office". There were seats inside that could probably seat about six people.

"Yes, yes."

Si Jinliang looked along the path of Tang Yao's white, tender fingers, then hesitated. "It's all available for rent. I've already obtained the consent of the original lessor, and she told me to negotiate... But it's not very big, so it's hard to calculate, and I don't need such a large place right now... Are you sure it's enough?"

"Enough...so can I rent it alone?"

Tang Yao put her hand away. "Just calculate my share of the rent and other expenses based on the area... Even if it's a little higher, it's okay. You've started a business before, so you should know that you don't need such a large space in the early stages. I can't afford it either."

"This……"

Si Jinliang hesitated.

"If you find it troublesome, you can tell me directly."

Tang Yao noticed his hesitation, looked into his eyes, and said seriously, "If it really doesn't work, I'll try somewhere else. This time I'm mainly here to try my luck... Is that okay?"

Si Jinliang looked at Tang Yao's fair and beautiful face, noticed her gaze, his old face turned red, and he quickly looked away.

Then, he began to look around, looking at the empty floors, thinking about his current situation, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay..."

Well, this has nothing to do with Tang Yao’s appearance or anything, it’s just to relieve stress.

When Tang Yao heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
