Company Set-Up & Accident.

Hao Ren stood in the office of Thunder Tech. Three people who sort of owned this company were sitting before him as if he was their grandfather. Klaus asked, "Mister Hao, the operating system you have can rise to the sky very quickly, why are you bringing it to us? I mean, wouldn't it be good for you to go to some big company, they have better money and better resources than we do, right?" 

The young man nodded and said, "Mister Klaus, what you said is correct, but those people who thrive on monopoly will not give me a free hand of operation. I don't want to stop at some mediocre level designation. I have an aim and for that I need a lot of money. Why would I use a crutch when I can create a company of my own?"

Klaus and the other two nodded. Jian Koji, the second person said, "Sir, can you tell us, what do you need us for? I mean, you are a skilled programmer yourself, and you definitely have money, what do you need us for?" 

Hao Ren smiled and said, "I am just twenty-two years old, and my major is finance and business management. I do not have expertise in tech. The operating system was something I bought from a group of people who just wish for everyone to experience better technology. The only condition they mentioned was that I cannot charge any money for this initial version of operating system from anyone. 

I would need developers like you for that. The money I have is from my investment returns, not from my family. The major reason I choose you guys is because you all come from grassroot families like mine and wish to make it big." 

The three people were surprised and Hao Ren admittedly said, "Yes, I investigated you guys, but nothing too personal. Just to get an idea of your character. You can't expect me to invest millions in a student start up on a whim, right?" 

Klaus and the two nodded, as the former asked, "So, you said you wish to buy us out for two million yuan, and then give us a stable job in your company, can you elaborate that?" 

Hao Ren nodded and said, "I will give you two million to close down your company, and come work for me. I am willing to provide you three a salary of 10,000 yuan every month with two holidays a week. Your main job will be to maintain the sever and come up with ideas to upgrade the operating system. You will be team leaders and you will be responsible for the technical development in various aspect. In addition, you each will have five percent share in annual profit. What do you think?" 

Klaus and the two exchanged gazes and nodded, "We agree!" 

They replied in unison. Hao Ren stood up and shook hands with them. He plugged in his mobile with the computer and deleted the Operating system with the help of Xiao Mei. Then he said, "Klaus, complete the formalities for shutting down the office here, I will rent another place. Also, deal with your educational formalities by tomorrow. Is that right? I will send you the soft copy of the employment agreement in a bit. You three can sign and return it back to me." 

Klaus and the two nodded, they were excited to get a two million pay out. They have already told Hao Ren that the money will be deposited in their joint account and they wanted 2 million after tax deduction. Hao Ren had no problem with this. 

He came out of the office building with the three people and under their shocked gazes he got in the car and left the premises. He said, "Xiao Mei, can you make an employment agreement for the three of them? Also, make it so that they cannot leak any of the work details after they start working for me, but do not exploit them." 

Xiao Mei replied, "Understood, Boss." 

Hao Ren drove the car quickly and headed back to his home, he had an appointment with a law firm that will help him deal with cooperate issues like registering company. Although he could have done it by himself, but it was very time consuming for him. He decided to hire a temporary agent who would finish all the process for him and he would pay the agent a commission. 

He did not go through Han Lingshi to get a quick appointment. He began to abuse the artificial intelligence at his hand, by putting himself on the list. He met the agent in a cafe, and provided him with a copy of his identification documents. 

The agent said, "Sir, you will need to come over and sign the registration once things are done." 

Hao Ren nodded in agreement and then he set off to cook something for Han Lingshi. Although their conversation yesterday was weird, when he sent her a greeting in the morning, Han Lingshi talked as if nothing was wrong between them. 

The young man thought he was brooding too deep into the matter. He was quick in his task today, he came to the office and served the food to Han Lingshi. Maria was also there, and pouted, "Can you not bring me a portion too?" 

Hao Ren did not even glance at her and said, "Lingshi, I am going, I have an appointment at the Industry and commercial license office." 

The two ladies were surprised, and Han Lingshi asked, "What is it? Are you registering a company?" 

Hao Ren did not hide and said, "Yes, I am registering the company. I will invite you to the office when I start." 

Han Lingshi was surprised and asked, "Do you need any help? What sort of company have you set up?" 

He could sense concern in her voice and said, "It is a tech company. You will know soon." 

Maria scoffed and said, "Do you think anyone can start a tech company? You think your measly money would be enough for this?" 

Han Lingshi frowned and said, "Maria, can you speak less." 

Hao Ren raised his hand to stop her and stood up from the chair to look at Maria and said, "I agree, not everyone can start their own business and succeed, some people need support of their families." 

Maria was stunned, and soon enraged, "Are you calling me a freeloader?" 

Hao Ren shook his head and said, "Lingshi, I did not ask for your help because I do not want anyone to think I depend on you for everything. I will see you tomorrow." 

Then he tied up the buttons of his suit and left the room. Maria wanted to chase after him and tear him to shreds but Han Lingshi said, "Why do you have to poke him? I mean can you not ignore him like he does?" 

Maria took a deep breath and said, "You are taking his side? Good, good, good, Han Lingshi, you mean woman, all my love and all my care have gone to waste in front of a young and handsome man? Mister before sister, is that how we are now?" 

Han Lingshi sighed when she looked at the drama queen before her and said, "You..." 

The two of them mingled and tickled with each other when Hao Ren reached the government office. The agent had already finalized everything, all that Hao Ren needed was to sign on the official document, and submit the money in the company account. 

The procedure did not cost Hao Ren much time, and the money was transferred in the company account by the system instantly. Although the clerk was somewhat taken aback by so much capital at the hands of a young man, but he dismissed him as a second generation rich brat. 

Hao Ren left with the documents, and called Klaus to check the progress. The young men were enthusiastic, after they have received two million they had decisively closed down and sorted out their formalities with the teachers and administration staff. 

They were all in senior year so they did not have much to do at the classes anyway. Hao Ren reminded them to hire six more people and make sure that these people were trust worthy but good at their job. 

The capital university was not a place where anyone could get admission. You needed strict merit points to enter the campus. This was why Hao Ren wanted a company among the students. The reason he gave them money to close down was because he wanted to hire them, and also to buy over their equipment. 

They were a tech company, their products in the past few months have garnered some lukewarm results from the public. Hao Ren bought out the rights to manage those products, he was going to optimize those products and integrate them in his own product. He saved himself a lot of money by the five percent annual profit share offer. 

Hao Ren spent the evening looking for a office space that could hold twenty people, and at the same time a small kitchen. He found one place near the city center. The rent was high but the facility was well furnished. 

After setting up the company, and finalizing the deal with the broker to rent the office space, Hao Ren came back home and his phone rang. Xiao Mei said, "Boss, it's Klaus." 

Hao Ren said, "Put him on speaker." 

The next second, Klaus's voice sounded, "Mister Hao, we have selected six of our close friends as per your instruction, when can they join us officially?" 

Hao Ren said, "You can bring them over tomorrow, I will send you the location." 

Klaus thanked him and said, "Sir, umm, I know that you are providing us a high salary, but all of us are in senior year, and since we all have accepted the employment offers, they won't let us stay in the dorms. So, the new ones wanted to ask if you could provide us accommodation too?" 

Hao Ren realized that he had to do this, and he said, "Give me a week, I will find you guys a place close to the office area." 

Klaus agreed and disconnected. Hao Ren leaned back in his couch and said, "Xiao Mei, what is your estimate? How many people will download the OS?" 

Xiao Mei replied, "The conservative estimate is fifty thousand people." 

Hao Ren nodded and said, "Can you design a software that could detect game cheats?" 

Xiao Mei replied positively, and Hao Ren continued, "Alright, I will leave you to handle the server from the company tomorrow morning, the next thing that you have to do is to scavenge the best digital office tools, photo processing, and cheat detection software, and then create a more optimized and efficient version for the Horizon extension package. These programs would only work with our OS. Alright?" 

Xiao Mei replied, "I have taken a note, boss." 

... 

The night passed quickly, in the morning, Hao Ren arrived at the office space he had rented in the commercial complex in the capital. The office was located at the seventeenth floor of the Rubicon Trade Tower. 

This building was one of the premium places and the rent for the office space was Fifty thousand yuan every month. Hao Ren had leased the place for six months. He came to the office, and his charm gathered a lot of attention from the other people, however, they did not bother with him. 

The young man was waiting for his employees to come over with the equipment from their office. Hao Ren called for an woodworker and had him carve a customized plaque that said, 'Thunder Technology.' 

At nine in the morning, nine young men and women arrived at the place. They were shocked to see the place. There were a total of seven men and two women excluding Hao Ren. After a brief introduction, Hao Ren looked at Klaus and handed him a card. He said, "You have six computer systems here. Buy three more, and upgrade yours to better configuration. However, these configurations must not be pointless, I do not want to waste money." 

Klaus nodded, and Hao Ren said, "Buy a server for the company to keep the digital data safe and accessible. Okay?" 

Klaus nodded and Hao Ren said, "There is three million yuan in this card, please spend wisely." 

The young people were shocked, and wanted to talk more to Hao Ren but a mechanical voice echoed in his mind, *Ding, it is detected that your wife has met an accident and she is currently in the Holy Mother hospital. She is being surrounded by the bike rider's family. Rescue her and get rewards, Host.*

Hao Ren said, "I will talk to you later, Klaus, get to work, I need to be somewhere." 

He dashed away in a flurry, the happiness of kick starting his company had came to a temporary pause.
