Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 14 - Project

"Busy on Friday night, let's talk now."

When it was time to work, Shen Siyuan sent a message to Ding Youguang directly through enterprise WeChat.

Ding Youguang quickly replied to the message.

"I've got a way to make money and wanted to discuss it with you."

"A way to make money? Discuss with me? I only have two 80% new kidneys, are you still trying to target me?"

"Who's interested in your kidneys? They smell so pungent. I'm talking about something serious."

"Oh, in that case, let's talk over lunch..."

Shen Siyuan was puzzled about what money-making scheme Ding Youguang had that he would consider him.

This kid, wouldn't be thinking of selling him to Myanmar, would he?

The operational work is actually very relaxed, other than communicating with the programmers, developing some activities for holidays, and dealing with players' feedback sent to customer service on regular days, all handled by communicating with programmers.

But though operations work is easy, the pressure is no less because operations are responsible for the revenue of a game, with revenue targets every month that affect the team's income.

In the entire operations department, basically everyone is responsible for one game, and it's the same for Shen Siyuan who is managing a fantasy genre game, and his team members include a customer service rep, a programmer, and an artist.

Thus, the monthly revenue does not just affect his income but also the incomes of the other team members.

So, during the morning, Shen Siyuan wasn't idle, he played several newly launched games, ostensibly to understand competitors.

He also caught up on a few novels, ostensibly to give his brain a break.

Just like that, a "busy" morning flew by.

As lunchtime was approaching, Wang Chao was the first to start shouting.

"I want to order takeaway, who else wants in?"

The chubby Tian Yunrui sitting opposite him immediately raised his head to ask, "Which place are you ordering from?"

"The small kitchen downstairs, they have good taste and generous portions."

Once it was known it's from the small kitchen, several others asked Wang Chao to order for them too.

Although Wang Chao is bit of a jerk in his speech, he is very kind-hearted on normal days, always proactively helping others.

Like during lunch orders, he would patiently ask everyone what they'd like.

"Shen Siyuan, what do you want for lunch?"

"I'm good, I'm going to eat out." Shen Siyuan said.

Then, Li Wenjuan sitting behind immediately said, "Shen Siyuan, can you get me a serving of cold noodles?"

"Sure, but I might be a little late after lunch."

"No worries, I'm not very hungry anyway." Li Wenjuan said.

This lady, either she goes for cold noodles or rice noodles, or some light salad, claiming to be on a diet. Shen Siyuan hasn't even seen her put on any weight.

"Sister Juan, I think you might as well order from the small kitchen with me." Wang Chao immediately said.

This guy already has a girlfriend, but he still acts enthusiastic towards all women.

Not sure if one should call him gentlemanly or sleazy.

"Their place isn't sanitary." said Li Wenjuan.

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan felt most qualified to comment, thus he immediately said, "That's true, I found cockroaches twice in my food, and they just replaced it each time. Does a replacement make it clean?"

"Just you fussing over it. We never encountered anything." Tian Yunrui immediately retorted.

"Hehe, that's hard to say. You didn't eat as fast, are you sure there weren't any?" Shen Siyuan laughed and said.

Tian Yunrui's face turned green upon hearing this, then defensively argued about it being high protein, that people in Guangdong eat it often.

If people from Guangdong eat people from Fujian, why don't you eat a Fujianese?

For a time, the office was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

As soon as it hit twelve noon, Ding Youguang appeared at the entrance of the operations department.

"Brother Shen, let's go..."

Shen Siyuan picked up his phone and got up, Chen Hao immediately said, "Brother Shen, bring me back a Coke."

"Isn't there one in the company's vending machine?"

"Just gone, damn tech department, just restocked this morning, and they took it all away..." Chen Hao cursed.

Cola is the vital food for programmers, so it's always used up quickly.

"Alright then."

Shen Siyuan just agreed, then heard others say one after another, "Brother Shen, get me a bottle, too."

"And me."

"F*ck, can't you go down yourselves?"

"No~"

Now it was Shen Siyuan's turn to curse.

"What's going on, all secretive?"

"Let's talk over lunch."

"I only have an hour and a half for lunch, I want to rest a bit."

"Don't worry, I've already called the restaurant, they'll serve the food as soon as we arrive, won't delay your time."

Ding Youguang had made sure everything was arranged perfectly, leaving Shen Siyuan with nothing more to say.

When they arrived at the restaurant called Huaguang Restaurant, sure enough, as soon as they sat down, dishes were served one after another, two meat dishes and two vegetables.

This Huaguang Restaurant doesn't offer delivery, only serving in the restaurant, and they always liked to come here for private meals.

Ding Youguang ordered two meat dishes and two vegetables: stir-fried pig liver, braised pork, potato with eggplant, and dry-fried green beans, all signature dishes of the restaurant, served in generous portions enough for two.

"Come on, what's the deal? All secretive?"

"I found a way to make money, you in?"

"What way to make quick money, and you actually thought of including me?" Shen Siyuan was serious this time.

"Because I can't do it alone." Ding Youguang said.

"Tell me, what is it exactly?"

"Video games." Ding Youguang said with a bit of excitement.

"Video games?" Shen Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then started to understand.

Today's smart TVs are just a larger version of smartphones, aside from not making calls, they function similarly. Games playable on phones, theoretically, can be played on TVs too, the only consideration is TV operation, which is not as convenient as phones.

So, it requires a controller, although some simple games can just use a remote control.

Shen Siyuan quickly understood this and said, "This might work, but there's one problem."

"What problem?"

"Channels, you control all the company's channel information, but those are for mobile games."

"Without channels, there's no traffic, everything is void."

"Heh~" Ding Youguang chuckled slyly.

"You have a way?"

"Yeah, I have a brother at China Mobile, specifically handling the set-top box section, plus he introduced me to a few companies that develop apps for set-top boxes in the market, we can directly use their channels for our games..."

"Awesome, now that you mention it, seems like it really could work." Shen Siyuan was also somewhat excited.

Although fewer people watch TV these days, there's still a huge user base, and if their games could be rolled out, they might not make a ton of money, but they definitely won't make little.

"And I've also done some research, there are few companies making TV games currently, and the games are trash, these are their monthly turnovers..." Ding Youguang handed his phone to Shen Siyuan.

When Shen Siyuan took a look, it showed several companies with detailed monthly download counts, registration numbers, paying users, and revenue data.

The highest was five to six hundred thousand a month, the lowest also had two to three hundred thousand.

"You got all this?" Shen Siyuan was somewhat moved.

This already counts as a company's confidential information, unlikely to be leaked.

"A friend gave it to me." Ding Youguang said with a bit of pride.

Clearly, this friend refers to the brother at China Mobile, who, controlling upstream channels, would have access to detailed revenue data from various companies.

"So, what do you think, can we do this?" Ding Youguang asked further.

"We can." Shen Siyuan also gave a very affirmative answer.
