Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 168: Mei Fangs Monthly Financial Report

After receiving the footage and cara from i Fang, Wan Chaoxiong only took one night to complete the video editing work. The next day, when i Fang saw Wan Chaoxiong, he looked completely exhausted.

Hey Did you stay up all night? Ill treat you to a al another day.

Editing the video was supposed to be a simple task, but Xiang Bingbing kept shouting throughout the entire filming process, making it difficult for to remove the background noise. It took a long ti.

Wan Chaoxiong waved his hand. Theres no need to treat to a al. I have social anxiety. But you must not treat Xiang Bingbing to a al; shes guilty.

Ah! Why are you saying that about ? Chaoxiong, youre so an!

Hearing Wan Chaoxiongs complaint from behind i Fang, Xiang Bingbing pouted and said, i Fang perford so wonderfully on stage, cant I cheer for him and applaud?

Youre the caraman, when do you have the ti to cheer? And can you please call by my full na? Were not that close.

But calling you Chaoxiong is more fun, Chaoxiong, super fierce, hahaha.

Wan Chaoxiong was already considered tall in the class, almost 1.8 ters, but in front of Xiang Bingbing, he seed like a little brother. She kept patting his head, and he couldnt dodge in ti, only muttering to himself, Curse this wild girl!

While i Fang was enjoying watching Wan Chaoxiong being teased, Xiang Bingbing suddenly shifted her attention and put her hands on i Fangs shoulders, gently swaying him.

Yuan Yuan promised that well have a big al until were full. You guys cant break your promise I might not have done very well this ti, but I wont let you down next ti!

I got it, I got it cough just stop shaking already

i Fang felt like he was on a pirate ship.

You still want a next ti? Next ti, i Fang should only hire ! Wan Chaoxiong sneered from the side, provoking a pout from Xiang Bingbing.

Oh, youre still saying that?! Watch teach you a lesson

Xiang Bingbing chased after Wan Chaoxiong, repeatedly giving him light taps along the way. i Fang, massaging his battered shoulders, cast a resolute gaze towards the beaten Wan Chaoxiong.

Thanks a lot, buddy!

i Fang took the USB drive containing the edited video that Wan Chaoxiong had given him back ho and watched it on his computer. He had to admit that Wan Chaoxiongs editing skills were indeed quite impressive, worthy of being the first-generation enthusiast of C Site.

Next ti, Ill put Wan Chaoxiongs video in the recomnded videos section.

i Fang had previously uploaded Xia Yuans video on C Site, but the filming technique was average and there was no sound editing. Although it received a small recomndation, it didnt create much of a buzz. However, this 5-minute long video had improved in terms of quality.

i Fang showed the video to Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi, and both of them gave it a highly satisfactory rating.

Your classmate is really good. Can we hire him to work for us? Xia Yuan, having spent a lot of ti with i Fang, had picked up a bit of his manner of speaking.

Indeed, the operations and promotion departnt needed so talented video editors, and i Fang had a few of them among his part-ti workers on C Site. However, it was difficult to entrust them with the videos, as it would expose their identities.

Theres no rush for now. We can ask Wan Chaoxiong for help when needed i Fang replied.

Oh, right! Ah Fang, I ntioned before that I want to record our MV.

Xia Yuan rattled off her findings to i Fang: Ive recently researched the costs of recording studios and equipnt. The studio costs 500 yuan per day, and its quite far from here. The recording equipnt includes microphones, monitor headphones, an audio interface, reverb, and this thing called a harmonic balancer Although theres a lot of stuff and its a hassle, the expenses can be minimized to around 4,000 yuan.

In which room do you plan to record? In the masters bedroom? Besides, if we bring all this equipnt ho, Aunt Liang will suspect sothing.

i Fang thought for a mont. Well, the excuse we used last ti for the laptops was already far-fetched. Aunt Liang probably didnt say anything because she trusts us.

Lin Youxi interjected, We dont necessarily have to record at ho. We can use the school facilities. The club room of our Ximilu Studio and maybe even Teacher Chen Qi could help. The music room might already have a ready-made recording studio and equipnt.

But it feels a bit inconvenient to directly borrow from the school i Fang hesitated.

Xia Yuan griped, tugging at i Fangs arm, I still want to have our own set of recording equipnt. Youxi suggested using the studio, and I think its feasible. There arent many people in the club building on weekends

Ill definitely buy it for you, but you need to first figure out this recording equipnt before buying it. I think in the beginning you can ask around at school first, get familiar with how to use them. After that, we can set up a recording space in one of the rooms in the school. No matter how we set it up, it wont be better than a professional recording studio anyway, i Fang suggested.

Then Ill ask at school next week.

Xia Yuan curiously leaned closer to i Fang again and asked, By the way, how much money has our studio earned so far? You never really told us Youxi, do you know? I hope Im not the only one who doesnt know.

Lin Youxi shook her head. I dont know either, but I havent really asked. I am a bit curious though.

Lin Youxi had calculated the monthly bandwidth expenses for C Site. Their bandwidth cost had been continuously increasing, reaching nearly 20,000 yuan per month.

In addition, i Fang had to pay salaries to the part-ti workers on C Site, but Lin Youxi hadnt asked about the expenses or how much they spent.

Well, since both of you are so curious, I can show you the financial report Its like the inco statent of our studio. But you have to promise that after seeing the inco, you wont get carried away, i Fang said.

Dont worry, dont worry. Theres nothing to boast about. Its all our hard-earned money, Xia Yuan quickly waved her hand.

i Fang, with a background in planning, enjoyed using Excel spreadsheets to manage his finances. He opened his encrypted work docunt and recorded the summary of last months inco and expenses in a table.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi glanced at the table summarizing the gas inco and were imdiately startled.

How co Flappy Bird is making so much money? My goodness! These other gas below are much more fun!

These gas below are obviously much more enjoyable, but their sales just wont go up.

Thats the market environnt in China. People dont have much money right now, and there are plenty of cracked versions available online. Even if its just 1 yuan, very few people directly pay for gas.

Lin Youxi asked i Fang, Are these gas, like Flappy Bird, earning more money by incorporating in-ga ads?

Its different. Single-player gas focus heavily on imrsive experiences, and if they have built-in ads, people will criticize them to death. Flappy Bird is different. Its originally a short and quick ga, with the rhythm being interrupted by an ad after each death. In-ga ads are a good way to generate revenue.

True Xia Yuan nodded. If I were to play To the Moon and got really emotional, a sudden ad asking to spend money would definitely affect my gaming experience.

Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were not particularly surprised to see i Fangs monthly inco approaching 120,000 yuan. After all, this was only the revenue, and the expenses below were also quite exaggerated:

i Fang personally spent 65,000 RMB to buy three high-end computers, three Alienware laptops, and a DSLR cara.

The maintenance and server costs for C Site amounted to 30,000 RMB.

The cost of labor for C Site. Currently, there are a total of 20 outsourced part-ti employees on C Site. Although they are part-tirs, i Fang has paid nearly 50,000 RMB in total.

Moreover, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan saw the nas of three classmates listed under the expenses column.

Yue Xinyi, -800 RMB;

Liu Xiaoyu, -600 RMB;

Peng Xue, -8,000 RMB;

Liu Xiaoyu was a mber brought in by Xia Yuan to help with music, and due to the previous incident concerning Baii Renjia. Xia Yuan paid Liu Xiaoyu a salary of 600 yuan. i Fang transferred the money to Xia Yuan in cash.

As for the 8,000 yuan expense for Peng Xue, it was a one-ti paynt. i Fang had already inford Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi about Peng Xues desire to learn bass. Xia Yuan naturally supported her friends dream without hesitation.

Since Peng Xues goal was to form a band with Xia Yuan, i Fang treated it as a business investnt rather than a private loan.

Only Yue Xinyis paynt puzzled Lin Youxi:

Are you paying Yue Xinyi a salary every month now?

I started paying her last month. I inford Yue Xinyi but forgot to inform you guys.

i Fang explained, Yue Xinyis active participation on C Site and in the work group is evident to you, Youxi. She collects a lot of feedback from netizens and compiles a list to share with us. This is already a professional website operation workflow. Its quite different from just lending a hand. She deserves this salary.

I didnt say she doesnt deserve it, Lin Youxi shook her head. Its just that if youre going to pay Yue Xinyi a salary, you shouldve let know so I could have asked her to handle so more tasks for . I felt a bit awkward to ask her to do them before.

Youxiyoull get whats coming to you.

i Fang thought everyone was now acting like real business leaders, speaking quite authoritatively.

Youre paying them salaries, but not your close friend Zhang Ming? You two are so close.

Feelings are feelings, benefits are benefits. Zhang Ming only did a planning proposal during sumr vacation, and it was just average. I already compensated him by letting him have the gas car before, and now hes too busy to help . In this situation, its not possible to pay him a salary. Maybe Ill give him so New Years money as a bonus when we go back for Lunar New Year.

i Fang was quite open-minded.

Ah, I see That makes sense, then.

After reviewing the financial statent, Xia Yuan sighed, Making money is really not easy. Everyone is working so hard, yet we ended up losing money last month If only I hadnt bought such an expensive phone. By the way, Ah Fang, do you still have savings? I have around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Do you want to transfer it to you to help cover so expenses?

Thats not necessary. I still have enough savings.

i Fang thought to himself: And please dont ask about my savings. It was difficult for him to admit that he was a millionaire.

Lin Youxi chid in, Actually, the expenses are manageable, and you shouldnt calculate it like that. Many expenses are one-ti purchases, such as these digital products.

Yes, yes, I know, I know

Xia Yuan stretched lazily and said, But I feel like were earning a bit too little right now. Once I organize the songs and release an album, we should be able to make a lot of money! Ah Fang, do you have any desire to write songs recently? If we can gather ten songs before the new year, we can release an album.

Dont worry about that. I still have a lot of song lyrics in my drafts You can pick and choose from what Ive written, and I can give input on the composition.

Thats aweso! After I finish recording these three songs, Ill co find you. But for the song Im Willing, I want you to help record it.

OK, no problem But right now, I need to prepare for the next ga.

Lin Youxi was puzzled, Are you in such a hurry? I think the versions of Reigns and Life Restart Simulator just stabilized recently. You should take a break, and dont neglect your studies.

I have it under control, and I can manage my ti

i Fang suddenly rembered sothing and quickly reminded the two, Arent we going to invite Xiang Bingbing and Liu Xiaoyu to a al this weekend?

Yeah, what about it?

I need to add one more person at the last minute to discuss the new project.

Adding soone? A girl? When did you et her?

No, shes an old acquaintance. Im planning to invite Guo Yun to join us. Do you have any objections?

Xia Yuan shook her head, Thats fine. We were actually planning to hang out with Guo Yun last ti, but she went abroad or sowhere

Lin Youxi thought for a mont and said, Her school seems to be a bit far from ours. Lets choose a location thats more in the middle for the al, so its convenient for both sides.

In that case, the intersection area would be a better location, as its still considered within the city center. Let check if there are any buffets nearby Xia Yuan suggested.

ifang rolled his eyes and said, Yuan Yuan, you dont need to worry about Xiang Bingbing bankrupting by eating a lot. Dont be so stingy, its not like I cant afford to feed her.

Im not being stingy! A buffet is a good idea. I havent even tried it yet. Cant we go together? Youxi also wants to have a buffet, why dont you ask her?

Oh, I see.

i Fang turned to look at Lin Youxi and saw her nod slightly. Ive seen people eat buffet on TV, and I also want to try it myself.

If you ask , the buffet restaurants around here arent particularly delicious. If you want to eat, you have to go to the Golden Leopard, which costs 180 yuan per person

Ah Fang, youre being extravagant! Do you really think all the money in the studio is yours? Youxi and I are working for you for free, you know?

Xia Yuan pouted and pinched i Fangs cheek, And why are you so showy? Choosing the most expensive restaurant for a al and always buying the most expensive things. At this rate, no matter how hard we work to make money, we wont be able to keep up with your spending. I think in the future, we cant let you handle the finances alone. Youxi and I need to supervise!

Alright, alright I got it Lets just go for sothing normal!

i Fang made a compromise.
