Chapter 390: Chapter 139: "Oasis" Branch Established!_2

For a time, major capitals from home and abroad converged, creating a surge of activity.

It also triggered a heated discussion among Huaxia Nation gamers.

"Holy cow! The intensity just skyrocketed!"

"Where there are heavy rewards, there are brave men! Feels like when Korean gamers come back with a vengeance next year, the intensity will change from this year."

"Looking forward to next year!"

"Forget next year, this year’s number one player set a great example, proving that games have huge potential in developing towards sports competitions. Jianglin City’s government even provided policy support for development. I estimate that in as soon as six months, many games’ esports scenes will pick up. It’s impossible that someone could copy the answer and still not understand, right?"

"Tears in my eyes! Baby Ke has contributed so much to this game family!"

"Seriously, guys, do you think there’s any chance Baby Ke is a time traveler? Look at how he’s been surging in the past two years, promoting esports big time, reviving the glory of games, and bringing out an array of unprecedented game genres. Is there a possibility that the world he comes from is a parallel universe where the gaming industry is highly developed?"

"You’re right, but Baby Ke was chosen by the System Nebula, and started his adventure on a continent called Blue Star. Here, he will play the role of a mysterious genius named ’Game Designer’...forgot the rest."

"Rebirth Blue Star: I am a genius designer, right? /Sly"

"No kidding, no kidding!"

"So what the hell should I say?"

"Alright, alright, we had our fun poking jokes, that’s enough, why is it getting more and more spirited? Believing he’s a time traveler is less credible than believing I’m Emperor Qin Shi! /Surprised face"

"Brother Emperor Qin, lend me 50 Terracotta Warriors to test your strength?"

...

During this period of playful banter among gamers.

Ke Jin wasn’t idle either.

The long-prepared company branch also began to take shape during this time.

Ke Jin had already roughly planned out its scale.

The location was still set in Jianglin.

Initially, he thought about moving the branch to Shanghai, as it is an international metropolis.

Be it in terms of equipment, technology, or talent, Shanghai is far ahead.

However, the speech by the Jianglin City Mayor at the closing ceremony quickly dispelled Ke Jin’s idea of relocating.

With the government’s endorsement and special policy support for the city.

It was like a fish in water for Ke Jin to operate locally in Jianglin.

Firstly, he absolutely didn’t need to worry about the game licensing anymore.

Even the scale of the games could be slightly increased.

After all, many of the major IPs in his hands had some connections to violence and bloodshed.

Switching to another town might not necessarily pass the censorship.

Secondly, if Game City is established as the future development theme of the city.

It will inevitably attract more of the same industry to set up shop.

More competitors may seem disadvantageous at first glance.

However, there’s a clever business theory that allows everyone to eat their fill.

Industry clustering.

What does it mean?

When there’s only one foot massage business on a street.

Its fixed customer flow is the residents of the surrounding area, let’s say 500 people.

It can enjoy the profits to the fullest.

But when two foot massage businesses appear on the same street.

The residents now have a choice.

Your place has the pretty No. 18, but the other place’s No. 88 is more dynamic!

Now the profits are split between two businesses, and with the same number of residents, the profits decrease.

But what if the whole street is filled with foot massage businesses?

Then, this place will become a... oh well, it will become an industry cluster.

It won’t dilute the customer base but may even attract a significant number of tourists from the surroundings.

Your No. 18 is dynamic, my No. 66 can even do a backflip!

That place is even crazier, they can cosplay as Ultraman’s mother.

That might be too advanced for children, but for adults...

Which normal adult can stand this?

Who cares about foot massages? What foot massage!

Uncle me, I just want to preserve the light.

That’s why.

If the entire Jianglin City were to be covered with the gaming industry.

All game-related development in that area could exceed Shanghai in just a few years.

This is the confidence that industry clustering gives me!

For now, the headquarters of the top player is established next to Jianglin University, located near the city center, about half an hour away from the busiest part of Jianglin.

As for the location of this new branch, Ke Jin plans to place it right in the city center.

Cross-linked and convenient, that area is filled with emerging tech industries, including headquarters of various PC/console/mobile device companies.

It makes discussing cooperation between each other convenient.

As for the number of staff, Ke Jin plans to start with 500.

As the scale of the top player increases, the scale of the games they release keeps growing.

Many games in hand, from a theoretical standpoint.

It would be impossible to complete within two to three months even if every one of the company’s 300 employees put their lives into it.

Let alone development, even a detailed project plan couldn’t be written in such a short time.

To be on the safe side, having multiple branches opens up more options.

Later on, he could shuffle resources between them.

He could say that he only provided a draft of the plan, which was refined through the collective effort of some branch employees.

When assigning tasks to the branch, it could be claimed that it was his own creativity, supplemented by the hard work of the headquarters staff, that produced such a detailed project plan.

Either way, he couldn’t go wrong.

Furthermore, branch employees could even cling to the headquarters staff and ask, "Did you help Mr. Ke with the project plan?"
