Chapter Twenty-Six: Acquiring Yuewen Group! [Please add to your favorites and recommend!]

Upon hearing Ma Yunteng's words, his four roommates stared at him in utter horror, their eyes seemingly frozen in place. In their eyes, Ma Yunteng was no longer their leader, but their god!

This is a god-like man!

They haven't even started working for Ma Yunteng yet, but Ma Yunteng has already paid them their wages. He doesn't argue with them at all; he pays them first, then they start working!

Moreover, the salary is paid on an annual basis, and it's 50 million!

The most outrageous thing is that there is a four-word prefix before the 50 million: basic annual salary!

A basic annual salary of 50 million?

No one misheard!

After graduating from university, the four roommates all encountered many setbacks. Although they chatted and laughed when they met, each of them had their own bitterness in their hearts. After not seeing each other for a long time, who would want to pour out their troubles and ruin the atmosphere as soon as they met?

How could Ma Yunteng not have thought of this? During his university years, his roommates were all very playful. They even paid someone to do their graduation projects. They were all from ordinary families and did not learn any real skills in university. How could they not run into trouble when they entered society?

Of course, the reason Ma Yunteng brought up the salary issue first was because he had other considerations in mind.

Although he is only twenty-one years old, he understands very well that money can easily damage relationships, especially when friends go into business together. Money is the most likely cause of problems, and he doesn't want to cause the group to turn against each other because of money!

Money is certainly important, but as long as people live in this society, there will always be things that transcend money, such as feelings!

"Boss, this is too much... and our internet cafe isn't even open yet, there's no rush!" Zhao Peng politely declined.

His words reflected the sentiments of his three roommates, who nodded in agreement after hearing Zhao Peng's statement.

"It's alright!"

Ma Yunteng smiled calmly: "Why are you being so polite with me? No matter how well or poorly the internet cafe is run, you won't get a penny less of this basic annual salary of 50 million! Of course, if you do well, there will be an extra bonus at the end of the year!"

Since you're the boss, you must have policies to incentivize your employees. Human nature is what it is; nobody wants to expend extra effort for nothing. If you want your employees to give their best to work for you, then extra incentives are absolutely necessary!

Dividends?

When the men heard those two words, their eyes immediately lit up.

Profits from internet cafes with billions in investment?

Even if you only get one point, it's more than just a basic salary of 50 million!

Everyone was shocked by Ma Yunteng's words. No one thought he was joking. Moreover, given Ma Yunteng's wealth, he wouldn't stoop to joking with them like that!

"Come on, let's have another one." Ma Yunteng raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.

"Dry!"

In a short while, the group finished their drinks in one gulp.

"Boss, what should we name our internet cafe?" Zhao Peng suddenly asked.

"Thunder God Internet Cafe! Sounds awesome!"

"Let's call it Tiger Mouth Internet Cafe, so we can ride on the popularity of Huya Live!"

The second and fourth brothers both gave their opinions, but Ma Yunteng shook his head speechlessly after hearing them. He felt that these names were too tacky and lacked any innovation. Since they were going to open a nationwide chain of super internet cafes, the names had to be unique!

"Glasses, do you have any ideas?"

Ma Yunteng went directly to the fifth roommate in the dormitory to ask. He knew that Glasses wrote online novels, and the name he came up with might be creative. "By the way, what novel are you writing lately? Let me see!"

"Boss, you should stop reading the novel. It's doing terribly right now. There are only a few hundred favorites and a little over two hundred recommendation votes. The only two readers who gave me rewards are Fourth Brother and Third Brother. Stop reading it, stop reading it..."

Glasses felt extremely guilty, so after graduation he went straight into seclusion to write novels. He's been writing for almost a year now, but unfortunately, every single one of his novels has flopped!

"Stop dawdling, send it!" Ma Yunteng insisted on reading, so Glasses opened QQ Reading and handed him the phone. Ma Yunteng took the phone and quickly read through it for five minutes, finishing all the chapters in just five minutes.

"Hmm...not bad! The book 'Glasses' is well-written!"

The character portrayals are a bit rough, but the pacing of the plot is well-balanced. Although it lacks original cheat-like settings, it is still somewhat innovative! Not bad, not bad!" Ma Yunteng cast an approving glance at him.

Glasses has always been the pride of their dormitory. Ma Yunteng knows him very well. Glasses' biggest problem is that he only has a three-minute attention span for everything. If he had more perseverance, it might not be impossible for him to make a name for himself in the online novel industry!

"But why do you only update once a day? Look at your readers in the book review section, they're all saying your updates are too short!" Ma Yunteng glared at him and complained.

As a seasoned bookworm, he naturally knew that most authors update two or three times a day, and some even update ten or twenty times a day. Lazy authors like Glasses, who only update once a day, are truly rare.

"I used to update ten times a day! But what was the result?"

If you can't write a quality story, you won't attract readers, and you won't get the editor's appreciation. Without a featured spot, your output will be a string of flops! Sigh!

The man with glasses sighed deeply. He had once worked full-time as a writer, but almost ended up starving. Now he was more pragmatic; writing novels was just a hobby for him, as life forced him to take on other jobs to earn money.

Looking at the worried expression on Glasses' face, Ma Yunteng immediately took out his phone and skillfully searched for 'The Number One Tycoon in the City' on QQ Reading.

Without further ado, I immediately donated one million reading coins!

The next moment, Glasses' phone rang. He quickly opened the author's assistant app and was surprised to see that 'Approximately 18cm' had tipped him one million reading coins! Overjoyed, he excitedly exclaimed, "Thank you, thank you, boss!"

Ma Yunteng smiled calmly: "What are you thanking me for? Just write well! Be more diligent in the future, try to update two or three times a day, I don't believe the editors won't recommend you. If they still don't recommend you, we'll buy out Yuewen Group and give you a featured spot on the homepage every day!"

To be honest, Ma Yunteng really did have this plan. Now that he has the Godly Rich System, he doesn't care about money. At worst, he'll just buy it!

In Ma Yunteng's words: I am a super rich man, do you understand what a super rich man is?
