Chapter 305: Core Position


    Trantor: Halcyon Trantions Editor: Halcyon Trantions


    Sesame Rice Ball made a face when they looked at him and sheepishly hid behind his hands.


    Lonesome Flower’s remained stoic,pletely uncaring.


    Sakura Memories was so vigorously shaking her head that it was almost about to fall off.


    She wasn’t that much less attractive than March Rain, but shecked some womanly elegance. She was


    more of a masculine woman than a strong woman.


    Moonlight was sitting with his eyes closed and had not said anything. He obviously didn’t want to get


    involved in this.


    As for Remnant Dream and Hachi Chan, although they were cute, they were also quite na?ve. If either of


    them were the president, they would definitely drag the guild through the dirt.


    "I’m not suited for this either," Lu Li said as he started to sweat.


    He had no idea how to be a president as he had relied on strategy guides up until now. These were PVP


    strategies and Instance Dungeon strategies, but there were no strategies for being president.


    "I have a candidate in mind, but you have to invite him." Wandering had no intention of letting Lu Li be


    the president. Although his egalitarian principles worked in the mercenary group, he had no other


    leadership qualities.


    "You mean..." Lu Li’s heart stopped when he suddenly thought of someone.


    "Square Root 3. If you manage to invite him, all of our problems will be solved," Wandering said


    confidently. He had a lot of respect for Square Root 3.


    "Wasn’t he from the Star Moon Guild? yers from that guild are all the same," Azure Sea Breeze said


    with disdain.


    Lu Li and Wandering ignored him and started discussing ways to persuade him.


    Square Root 3 wasn’t a fool. They didn’t have or know anything, so why would he sell himself to them?


    Additionally, Lu Li had made a fortune out of the Star Moon Guild and was also the reason why they had


    failed to make it into the top 100. The two of them had some bad blood between them.


    "What about the club?" Lu Li asked.


    "The club must be ced in your hands. The three main yers in the spotlight are you, Moonlight and


    March Rain. But all the other members will also be in the club with you. What do think of that?"


    Wandering wasn’t beingpletely selfless either. If they followed Lu Li and became members of the


    club, they could also enjoy some leadership benefits. Even if the guild grew in the future, there was no


    way that theter members could catch up to them.


    "Oh yeah, seeing as we are starting this for ourselves, how will we split the shares?"


    Normally, it was the backingpanies that had to ask this question and there was actually more than


    one kind of share. Lu Li asked the question anyway, even with his limited understanding.


    Everyone was also getting shares?


    They were already content with taking a high position with a high sry. They didn’t think that Lu Li


    would give them shares as well.


    After all, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group was established solely by him, the First Clears weremanded


    by him and the little group in the Shadow Cup had only made it so far because of his leadership.


    One could conclude that none of this would have happened without Lu Li.


    If Lu Li found another group of yers, he would likely still carry them with the same momentum.


    "Are you sure? They’re supposed to be yours." Wandering didn’t feel like the Xin Xin Mercenary Group


    deserved this but he wasn’t willing to t out reject the idea either.


    There was no one who didn’t want to be more sessful, nor was there anyone who wanted to


    work for someone else.


    "Let’s split it up. It’s meaningless if I have it all. For ten people..." Lu Li was interrupted before he could


    finish.


    "Don’t use your egalitarian principles here," Wandering said dryly.


    Historically, no one had ever seeded by being an egalitarian. If they wanted to truly achieve


    something, they couldn’t use these principles that provided little gain as a code of conduct.


    "You decide it then." Lu Li didn’t know what else to say and left it to Wandering.


    Because he was part of the society’s lowest, all he desired was fairness. Whether it was social fairness or


    fairness in wealth, this weak, idealist thinking was reflected in his everyday life.


    However, this didn’t make him stupid.


    In his past life, he didn’t have friends, let alone have anything to give to his friends.


    As such, he particrly cherished the rtionships that he had in his current life. He was willing to give


    more generously, especially since it didn’t affect his objective of making money.


    Lu Li had no concept of his wealth representing his sess in this game.


    However, Wandering had a good sense of how much things were worth. After some calcting he said,


    "The Mercenary Group is yours, so you can take 80%, and the rest..."


    "Just half please. I’ll just take half," Lu Li refused as he shook his head.


    He felt like he didn’t deserve to take that much. He couldn’t bear to take 80% and leave a mere 20%


    behind.


    "How about 60% then."


    Wandering admired Lu Li’s generosity, but he wasn’t as selfless. If the boss was willing to be generous,


    then he was willing go along with it.


    Now that the 60% proportion had been decided, the organizational structure had been solidified.


    Most bigpanies were controlled by people who held a little over 10% of the shares, but this was


    usually the situation after a period of maturity.


    Now that Lu Li was holding 60% of the shares, no one would ever be able to challenge his authority.


    The two of them went on to discuss how everything else would be split. The others didn’t care too much


    about this process and were mostly justzing about. Only Sesame Rice Ball felt a little anxious and had


    some concerns about it.


    Moonlight didn’t care for these matters at all.


    Remnant Dream had long since fallen asleep and now, Hachi Chan was falling asleep while hugging her...


    Those who were still awake were the yers of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group that really liked money.


    Even so, they didn’t ask anything extravagant.


    "You take 60%," Wandering stressed again. "Azure Sea Breeze and I will take 5%..."


    "Why do I have to be tied to you? How will we split this 5%?" Azure Sea Breeze was unhappy.


    "I’ll take 4% and you take 1%. Don’t ask why – it’s because I’ve got more brains than you. If it weren’t for


    the fact that you were here before me, you wouldn’t even have 1%," Wandering responded with


    disdain.


    Azure Sea Breeze started to feel emotional.


    In fact, his real method of calction resulted in Wandering receiving 2% and Azure Sea Breeze


    receiving 3%. How they dealt with that was between the two of them.


    "March Rain and Flower will share 5%. Memories, Riceball, Hachi and Dreamy will have 2% each.


    Moonlight, you take 5%. You’re not allowed to refuse."


    "We are making the rules. The remaining 17% will be given out to the future members. How much


    should we give to Square Root 3?"


    March Rain and Azure Sea Breeze both received 3% because they had a greater contribution to the


    group. March Rain was even still in thepetition. Moonlight received 5% because of his value as a


    star yer.


    ording to the standards of regr clubs, corepetitors and guild presidents were offered a higher


    percentage.


    "Let’s just give him 5% and leave the guild matters to him," Lu Li decided.


    In the current video game industry, the guild president was almost purely a managerial role. Most


    presidents didn’t hold any shares.


    Of course, Square Root 3 had participated in the creation of the Star Moon Guild, so he must have had


    more influence on it. However, the Star Moon Guild and the Xin Xin Mercenary Group were not really


    the same in terms of power.


    As such, it was actually quite fair to receive a 5% stake for a managerial role.


    Although the others didn’t care, Wandering felt like these portions were too generous. However, if Lu Li


    was willing to give them away, he didn’t mind either. All he could think about was how they could


    convince Square Root 3.


    He had to start working the moment he took the money.


    The remaining 12%, would be used for emergencies, or potentially, to raise funds.


    Currently, these shares were a hefty amount. Even after splitting the earnings from the tickets, there


    were still hundreds of thousands of dors left.


    After Lu Li took a little more than half, everyone else received almost $10,000 each.


    However, this was just the beginning. The Seventh Heaven Club’s profit for eachpetitive season


    was over $10 million. The number would be impressive even if it was scaled down to their level.


    The sry of a freshly-graduated person from the social elite was miniscule inparison to $1 million


    per year.


    At the end of the day, only Wandering and Lu Li had fully participated in this meeting.


    In this small, crude tavern, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had nned their future organizational


    structure and the direction of their development.
