As soon as these words came out, Li Rushan was a little stunned.
Wrong? What’s wrong?
Aren’t we on the same side? Mr. Lu, it’s okay if you don’t cooperate with me. Why are you trying to tear me down?
Li Rushan was puzzled. This was already the most expensive office building in Jinghai. Rent, property fees, and the purchase of various office supplies all cost a lot of money.
I spend money and you enjoy a good office environment. Isn't it nice?
At worst, the contract should be shorter, and you can move wherever you like after spending my ten million dollars.
Although he was a little unhappy, it was agreed before that Lu Zhixing would have to make the decision on this matter, and Li Rushan was just giving suggestions. So he asked, "What does Mr. Lu mean?"
Lu Zhixing said: "I think there is no need to spend so much money on things like office space.
"We are still in the start-up stage, and good steel must be used on the cutting edge. The office space is expensive or not, and it is not helpful for making games. There is no need to spend so much money."
Li Rushan obviously disagrees. Fortunately, steel is used on the blade? Shouldn't it be used on the handle?
Of course, for Li Rushan, this matter is "you know and I know". Only Lu Zhixing and Qin Shang are present. They still have to pretend in front of the other three employees of Studio 404.
Li Rushan coughed twice: "I don't agree with what Mr. Lu said, why is it that calling an office place is not helpful for making games?
"The more spacious the office space is, the more beautiful the scenery outside the window is, the happier the employees will be, and the work efficiency will be greatly improved!"
Qin Shang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Zhixing's words.
Fortunately, there were still normal people present, and they were not taken away by Mr. Li!
Seeing that the two people had different opinions, Qin Shang quickly reconciled: "Mr. Li, I think what Mr. Lu said makes sense.
"I also think it's better for start-ups to care less about face and more about dignity. The money saved on renting office space can be converted into other benefits and given to employees, which can also stimulate their enthusiasm for work."
He looked at Lu Zhixing again: "In that case, Mr. Lu, I have also investigated several other office buildings in Jinghai, and the prices range from a few yuan to more than ten yuan.
"I don't think we need to choose the one that's too bad. How about choosing an office building that costs about 14 to 5 yuan? These office buildings are also good, and they won't be much worse than Hengmao Financial Center.
."
Li Rushan looked quite disappointed: "That's okay."
Qin Shang said: "Then let's go and have a look?"
Lu Zhixing shook his head: "No need. In fact, I have also inspected an office location. How about we go there and have a look?"
Qin Shang was stunned for a moment. Mr. Lu had already inspected it in advance?
"Okay, let's first take a look at Mr. Lu's preferred office location."
…
Qin Shang drove a seven-seater business car and drove everyone to the office location Lu Zhixing mentioned.
After getting out of the car, Li Rushan looked at his surroundings with a confused expression on his face.
"Where is this?"
His first reaction was, this is too biased!
The previous Hengmao Financial Center was located in the most prosperous downtown area of Jinghai City, and every inch of land was very valuable. This was in line with Li Rushan's imagination of a studio.
But where is this?
The area they were in at this time, although not quite the suburbs of Jinghai, was relatively close. It was about seven or eight kilometers southeast from Jinghai University, although it was still considered the urban area of Jinghai City in terms of zoning.
, but the surrounding buildings are obviously too low.
Even if you drive a few minutes, you can see some warehouses, factories and development parks.
The environment nearby is quite good. There is a large park and a subway station. The transportation is quite convenient.
But the land price in this kind of place is very different from that in the city center!
What's more, there are no office buildings here?
Just when Li Rushan was about to say something, Lu Zhixing had already led everyone to the office location he was looking for.
"This is a side entrance, it will be closer to where we are going."
As Lu Zhixing said this, he took the lead in entering through the side door. It was obviously not his first time.
Everyone looked up in confusion. This place didn't look like an office building.
This building is very tall and spacious. From the outside, it looks a bit like a large conference venue or warehouse. This kind of building is not uncommon in Jinghai. They are all remnants of the renovation of old industrial areas.
In the early days of the development of Jinghai City, there were various factories and warehouses on the outskirts of the city. However, with the expansion of the city, almost all of these places were wrapped up in the urban area and gradually abandoned.
Slowly, many emerging industries have transformed these factories and warehouses into venues for various activities such as art exhibitions and comic exhibitions because the rents are very low.
So what was the purpose of this place that Lu Zhixing brought them to?
After entering from the side door, you first walked through a passage, and then the front suddenly became clear.
Li Rushan raised his head in confusion, looking at the scene in front of him that was familiar but had never been seen in reality: "This seems to be... a rock climbing wall?"
Qin Shang nodded: "Mr. Li, there is no need to pretend, this is just a rock climbing wall."
Li Rushan looked at Lu Zhixing: "Then this is... an indoor rock climbing gym?"
Lu Zhixing shook his head: "No. Mr. Li, look here again."
With that said, Lu Zhixing guided these people in another direction.
The entire building has a huge space, covering an area of nearly a thousand square meters by visual inspection. The height of the hall is as high as five or six stories, and there are various artificial or simulated rock climbing walls.
There is a simulated landscape rock wall on each side of the hall, which looks just like a real rock wall in nature. It fully restores the texture characteristics of the natural rock wall, with rich shapes and reasonable layout.
But rock climbing is obviously not the only function of this venue. There are also various indoor parkour facilities such as high and low platforms, soft cushions, and crossbars. There is even a special area designed to imitate the outdoor parkour environment.
In addition, because the venue is so big, there are still many free areas with messy piles of debris.
Lu Zhixing corrected: "Mr. Li, this is not an indoor rock climbing gym, this is an indoor parkour rock climbing gym. Parkour is also one of its important functions."
Li Rushan: "...Is there any essential difference?"
Lu Zhixing said seriously: "Of course, parkour is also one of the core gameplays of our game and cannot be ignored."
Except for Lu Zhixing, everyone looked around in confusion, completely confused as to what was going on.
They all feel like they have something to vomit in their stomachs, but they don’t know where to start.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a well-maintained figure saw Lu Zhixing and walked over quickly: "Huh? Mr. Lu, you have arrived? Why didn't you call me to say something? You didn't even have time to greet me.
Who are these?"
Lu Zhixing said: "These are my investors and colleagues."
The middle-aged man had a smile on his face: "Oh, welcome! Let me introduce myself, my name is Deng Yufeng, and I am the owner of this parkour climbing gym.
“My parkour and rock climbing gym, without bragging, is definitely one of the best venues in the entire Jinghai area!
"Have you seen the landscape rock walls on both sides? These two things are expensive to build, and they are the only ones in Jinghai! For rock climbing, what is the point of climbing those artificial rock walls? If you want to climb, you have to climb
Real guy, right?
“And our parkour area is divided into various common and difficult parkour moves to facilitate specialized training.
“Especially there is an area that also imitates the real-life parkour environment, where you can also learn parkour route planning, the integration and application of various advanced techniques, etc.
“It’s no exaggeration to say that this is definitely a paradise for all Jinghai parkour enthusiasts!
"I think since you all want to take over my parkour and rock climbing gym, you should all be parkour and rock climbing enthusiasts... right?"
The last sentence he said was also very false.
Because at a glance, no one here has any traces of training...
Parkour and rock climbing enthusiasts are obviously different from ordinary people in appearance. For example, their arms and back muscles are well developed, and their bodies are well-proportioned.
But these people... don't fit any of the characteristics at all.
Li Rushan came slightly closer to Lu Zhixing and lowered his voice and whispered: "Mr. Lu, is there a mistake? Aren't we going to rent an office space? Why, do you have a side business? But it was written in the investment contract I gave you that this
The money can only be used for game development and daily operations of the company.
"If you want to open a parkour climbing gym, you should tell me early. We can just change the contract, but today we are here to rent office space."
Lu Zhixing looked at him: "Mr. Li, have you misunderstood? This is the office space I want to rent."
