On the company’s details page, you could also view the specific employee list.
The entire company’s structure was clearly displayed in a tree diagram, with the CEO at the top, three executives below, and then 20 employees beneath them.
These employees looked different from each other, but they were all virtual people, obviously randomly generated.
Each person’s salary ranged from 1,000 minutes of visa time per month to 10,000 minutes of visa time per month.
The 20 employees’ fixed monthly salary expenditure was exactly 80,000.
Clicking on the CEO and executives’ avatars had no response.
Clicking on employees’ avatars would bring up an operational submenu with two options: ’Layoffs’ and ’Salary Reduction.’
In addition, there were two other prominent buttons: ’Recruitment’ and ’Humanistic Care.’
Clicking the ’Recruitment’ button would open a talent market interface showing different employees and their corresponding salaries.
The ’Humanistic Care’ button brought up a blank interface when clicked, its specific purpose unclear for now.These operations were easy to understand, but aside from their literal meanings, there was no special explanation of whether they had other hidden mechanisms.
Additionally, each executive defaulted to carrying 10,000 minutes of visa time, which was additional funding for ’Market Research.’
Layoffs, recruitment, or other operations could be performed and proposed by any executive on their computer, but ultimately required CEO approval to take effect.
Executive operations required CEO approval, but conversely, the CEO couldn’t submit and approve proposals themselves, but had to complete them through executives.
If the three executives didn’t submit any proposals, then the CEO couldn’t do anything either.
Besides this, the CEO had additional rules.
[After becoming CEO, you cannot leave the CEO office. When executives report to the CEO, they can only report one-on-one. That is: no more than 1 executive is allowed in the CEO office simultaneously.]
[In critical situations, the CEO can obtain additional funds through ’Facing the Winter Head-on’:]
[Enter the minus 40 degrees Celsius cold storage in the CEO office and stay for at least 1 minute. Gain 10,000 minutes of visa time per minute.]
[When players forced into the game serve as CEO, this income will double.]
After quickly understanding all the rules for CEO and executives, there were about 10 minutes left before ’Market Research’ began.
Fu Chen frowned, "This game doesn’t really seem like a judgment game."
Li Renshu thought seriously for a moment, "It really doesn’t, but currently we can only consider strategies based on existing rules.
"The urgent matter is determining who will serve as CEO, otherwise the system will randomly designate one."
Fu Chen considered seriously, "Players forced into the game get double income when serving as CEO?
"Would Xu Tong serving as CEO be the best choice? You’re a human resources manager with rich experience in company management."
Xu Tong didn’t immediately agree but was still thinking, "Hmm... perhaps... also..."
Li Renshu interrupted her, "I have a different view.
"The CEO in this game can exist as a nominal position.
"From current rules, the CEO’s role is more about using special rules to obtain emergency funds in critical situations, while specific work execution is handled by executives.
"But entering the cold storage is too dangerous. We don’t have thick clothes, and a minus 40 degrees extreme cold environment could cause permanent damage to physical health. It’s not worth it.
"If visa time is deducted completely, we still have interest-free loans and can earn more in other games. But if severe frostbite occurs, the community’s current medical conditions can’t treat it.
"I think the CEO’s rules are more like a distraction. We simply shouldn’t consider the cold storage matter.
"We shouldn’t get caught up in who serves as CEO, but should focus on considering ’executive’ responsibilities."
Li Renshu paused slightly and continued:
"The CEO cannot leave the office and naturally can’t participate in off-site ’Market Research.’
"And ’Market Research’ directly determines the company’s main income going forward.
"The rules state that market research will test knowledge reserves, logical thinking, and ability to perceive reality.
"So we need Xu Tong’s knowledge reserves as a professional HR, and your real-world abilities as an outdoor streamer, Fu Chen.
"The three of us should serve as executives, with Aunt Su as CEO.
"We’ll try to gain maximum income from ’Market Research,’ then propose various company management motions. Aunt Su doesn’t need to think about anything and can just approve everything.
"Try to win all off-site games without considering the cold storage.
"I think this is currently the optimal solution."
Xu Tong nodded, "That’s right. Whether we can make money in this game ultimately depends on executive abilities.
"Executives need to go off-site for market research, which also has high personal quality requirements. Aunt Su is older, doesn’t understand business, and isn’t in great health. She has no advantage participating in off-site games. Being a hands-off CEO would be more suitable."
Fu Chen frowned slightly, "’Facing the Winter Head-on’ is our only way to obtain emergency funds.
"If we don’t use it but the opposing company does, we’ll be at a natural disadvantage.
"Let me be CEO.
"I’m most cold-resistant. If necessary, I’ll enter the cold storage."
Everyone fell into brief silence.
Su Xiucen patted Fu Chen’s hand, "I think Xiao Li is right.
"Company matters, management, I’m completely inexperienced. Even if I served as an executive, I’d just be a burden and couldn’t help you.
"You three would still be making decisions anyway.
"Since that’s the case, let me be this boss. No matter what proposals you three give, I’ll just approve them.
"As for that cold storage, we don’t need to enter unless absolutely necessary.
"Even if there’s an emergency, when I enter the cold storage I get double the visa time you would. Me entering for 1 minute is safer than you entering for 2 minutes, right? Don’t underestimate me. When I was young, I did much more farm work than you young people.
"You young people have good stamina and flexible minds, understand how to make money better than I do. Of course you should take on more important tasks."
Fu Chen fell into hesitation. The double visa time difference in the cold storage was indeed a factor that needed consideration.
He looked at Su Xiucen, "Aunt Su, are you really willing to approve all our proposals?"
Su Xiucen hesitated, "As long as they’re proposals you particularly insist on, I’ll approve them."
Fu Chen looked at Li Renshu and Xu Tong again. Both their attitudes were already clear.
"Alright then, let Aunt Su do it."
After the discussion, Su Xiucen walked into the CEO office and picked up the work badge on the desk.
It read "Company 17 Limited CEO."
Turning to the back, there was also a hint message.
[Remember, you are acting.]
