Chapter 469: Chapter 469

Despite having previous experience with business failures from not signing contracts, those who weren’t formally employed didn’t seem to count, otherwise, it would be more than twenty places!

Jiang Yuan’s purpose this time was to verify the exchange rate, to see if triggering the Law of Cause and Effect after a business failure could turn 20 into 21.

If it really can change, that would be great, a major anti-business operation must be arranged!

Firstly, to punish unscrupulous merchants and help workers avoid pitfalls; secondly, when the exchange rate goes up, wouldn’t the target of earning more be achieved sooner?

Qi Deqiang impatiently said, "Why sign a contract for moving bricks? I’m not charging you! This is your workstation, get it? As long as you sit here and operate the account I give you to earn money, you’re working for me!"

"Still, there should be some sort of voucher." Jiang Yuan compromised, "Even a handwritten one works, saying I’ll get a commission leaves me uneasy."

"Do it if you want, or leave it, plenty of people would love to earn money, go on, go on, see if you can find someone who’ll sign a contract with you!"

"Electronic surely works?" He created a document on the desktop, quickly typed up a basic contract template, and lastly added his name under ’Second Party,’ "Just type your name under ’First Party,’ then it’s a formal contract agreement."

Qi Deqiang found it laughable, thinking he had some legal awareness but not much, could such a casually typed document prove anything?

It’s not even a handwritten signature, as if it would have any use!

He impatiently stepped forward and typed his own name, "There, is that enough?"

Maybe it would work, perhaps, Jiang Yuan wasn’t certain whether such a "contract" would be valid.

Anyway, since he was here, he rolled up his sleeves and got to work!

Let’s see if the gears of fate can start turning.

Seeing him eagerly dive into the game and start working hard to earn, Qi Deqiang was in a good mood, lazily smoking back to the front desk on the first floor, monitoring those account laborers from the main screen.

He’d spent quite some effort to maintain a high income.

From selection to control and then PUA, intimidation, Qi Deqiang was adept, after all, he wasn’t greedy—only making one month’s income from them, compared to those laborers in shady workshops, they were blissful to no end!

"To let you dreamy youngsters understand society’s cruelty, I truly mean well, I’m clearly doing a good deed!" Qi Deqiang poured himself some tea, flicked some ashes, then opened the forums to post new job information.

He looked around to see if there were any who were tarnishing Thunder Tiger’s reputation everywhere with posts.

With a few fake accounts driving the narrative, delete what needs deleting, block what needs blocking, there’s no way he would let his financial sources be cut off.

After busying himself for two hours, he glanced at the surveillance, seeing his hearty workers still diligently earning for him.

Especially the newcomer today, indeed an honest person at first glance, with a full commitment to working hard!

Seeing this made Qi Deqiang laugh out loud, then he sighed, "Damn it, making money is really tough these days!"

Despite having workers who earn him ten thousand a month, the problem is the instability.

The game would be popular for a while and then fade, new, suitable games must be found before this one stops generating income.

Moreover, with regular dismissals and hiring, he worried about choosing wrong and getting into a hassle, he wasn’t too optimistic about the new games opening soon, causing his lips to droop.

"How about closing the internet cafe and setting up a more discreet studio? Without a front to hold up, can people be brought in to work? Furthermore, if disputes arise, they wouldn’t be easy to handle..." These days, if anyone is dissatisfied, he can throw out surveillance video and accuse them of not paying for internet access.

The cafe expenses would be gone, but repeating it a few times might catch attention, thus it wouldn’t last long.

Qi Deqiang leaned back in his comfortable gaming chair, staring at luxury cars passing by the window in a daze, "Damn, why can’t I have the luck to earn a few million?"

As he was wondering where to find a new way of making money, his phone suddenly rang, looking down he saw it was a big brother he’d once roamed society with.

A few years back in a crackdown, those with connections transitioned and cleaned up, this big brother ran down to the south, living more glamorously than before.

"Brother Biao, what wind blew you here?" As soon as Qi Deqiang answered the phone, his face was full of smiles, eagerly hoping to hitch onto the brother’s fortune-making path and achieve financial freedom.

"Old Qi, it’s not to criticize you, but how come you’re so behind the times at such a young age?" A familiar voice came from the phone.

Brother Biao spoke earnestly, "Back then, you didn’t listen to my advice, insisting on splashing money to set up an internet cafe, and what happened? Who still goes out to use the internet these days?

Can’t you see the changes of the times? Now the most popular are mobile games and short videos, the most profitable are internet celebrities and merchandise sales!

Picking on two lousy online games, only earning such a bit of money?

I’m telling you, if you don’t seize the last chance, the next effortless money-making window won’t be within your reach. As soon as the threshold rises a bit, you won’t even have entry qualifications!

Don’t say the brother doesn’t remember old times, I told you to invest your money in factories and shops, and you didn’t listen, and now? Casual wholesale shops have flows of millions!

So let me ask you, do you regret it?"

The opposition started with an aggressive onslaught, making Qi Deqiang regretful enough to slap his thigh.

Years ago, the big brother indeed mentioned it, he worried about being tricked so didn’t invest money but followed his own idea of opening the internet cafe.

And now, within these few years?

Online shopping dominated, wholesale markets flourished, everyone made huge profits!

"Brother Biao, please don’t talk about it, I regret so much my intestines are blue!" he with a bit of flattery asked, "Is there another opportunity now? Brother! You’re like family, this time I’ll definitely listen to you!"

The other didn’t answer directly, but continued, "A couple of years ago, I had insider information asking you to use idle money to speculate on gold, but you didn’t listen. You know how much we earned?

Directly multiplied twenty-fold! My young follower borrowed fifty thousand, and in just two weeks took away over a million!"

The vivid examples, indeed missed chances to make a fortune for Qi Deqiang, his remorse grew deeper, almost begging, "Brother, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong, we once had life-and-death friendship, help a brother out!"

"If you had listened to me earlier, you’d have made it big and gone home to relax anyway!" Brother Biao finally finished preparing and persuaded, "My friend’s company has a vacancy——can tailor a script for you, making you a viral internet celebrity.

Traffic, organized internet armies, all handled by the company ensuring a proper promotion for you, once the traffic is enough, even merchandise factories will be arranged.

You understand how profitable internet celebrities peddling goods are, right? Earning one or two hundred thousand a night is like joking around."

He was immediately tempted.

Everybody knows making money through internet celebrity sales is a thing. Many deliberately hype things up to grab attention to sell items, with news coming out one after another, he’s seen it all.

"Well... how would the hype work?" Qi Deqiang turned his head to look at his own image in the mirror, acknowledging his reflection, "With my looks, it might be tough."

"What’s tough about it? You don’t understand star-making factories’ prowess! Take you, for instance, you don’t look like a good person, then we play up your quirky contrast.

For example, we arrange a beautiful actress pretending to be drowning and needing your help, you disregard the danger to save her, we arrange several camera perspectives pretending to be bystanders filming.

With that face of yours paired with doing immensely good deeds, plus company packaging, promotion buying traffic, impossible not to get famous!

Or we do a cuckold script, candid script, followed by a big twist, the company tailor-made for you, what are you worried about? Newest update provided by novel{f}ire.net

Nowadays wanting to be internet celebrities are countless, but high-quality scripts, undetectable hyping, and capability arranging traffic are few.

Just one vacancy, entry deposit thirty thousand, mull it over whether to do it.

This is a favor the brother is making way for you, letting you jump the queue, the company is starting to search for people, better decide fast, I’m not able to arrange it if you’re late."
