I Made $246,397,197,269 by Deleting the Internet - Startup Company gameplay - Let's Game It Out

Hello, I'm Josh and welcome back to play, today we will play against a new

company

. I like any

game

that gives me a glimmer of promise, let's say we can do something to torture the employees, so that's the hope here. directly into a new

game

, then a

startup

usually has a stupid name stupidly spelled, so let's go with what if Tecna 5 doesn't start enough? dot IO yes, this seems very initial B, why stop there? Although dot e-d-u sees a dot u.s. government, here we go, I think our new

company

is ready, look at the pictures, we can't choose just one person with good posture, okay, the CEO's name is Shad, yeah buddy, I have a great idea for an ID, your name is Chad Broski and I kept writing and it turns out there really is no limit so his name is Chad, yeah buddy I got blah blah blah broski there you are Chad.

I would recognize your blonde hair anywhere so we can make the manager, all employees will work 10% faster or the accountant will reduce all company expenses by 10%. Let's go with everyone. We work faster. Let's turn it into a shopping platform and give our website a name. Oh stars, everything is so cheap. Hello, nice to meet you, my name is Pam and I'm you. New Johnson Invest advisor, we recommend that you rent the small building in the upper left corner of the map. I bet you'd like that, Pam, okay, we'll get the small building. First we have to set up a desk for our CEO Chad Broski, let's put him here and so everyone knows we surround Chad's desk with plants, there we go, that's how you know he's the CEO, now we have to sit him down, so we'll just do click on this desktop here.

Oh yeah. There is his full name. I'll scroll a little slowly, so if you want, you can pause and read the whole thing. There he sits, with his hands still on the wrong keys and you know that he cares about his company because it is his first day. Work is on a Saturday, now we have to get it done. She had to look for heads. If there's one thing I know from working at

startup

s, the only thing anyone really cares about is our developers, so we'll start with those. Wow, look at Chad. that's some extreme head searching he's doing, let's go find some designers, now come on Chad, yeah mister designers, aw man what does this all mean?

So let's sort by the lowest speed because I'm going to assume that means I can pay you the least amount of money, so brave, let's start with your unavailable salary expectation, well Gussie, I guess all powers are in my hands, so let's start with a cool 3000 and no signing bonus, see how you handle that counteroffer with 3,800. Okay, let's bid 3300, the percentage of these smiling faces keeps going down, which I think means if it goes down too much, they start to get a little testy with you, yeah, the negotiation is starting to bother her, so let's go up to 3400. there come on, she accepted it 3,400 we have our first designer, let's see if we can hire Sylvia Ball here 3,600 no signing bonus I'm starting to think people don't need signing bonuses 5,800 oh developers, we'll need a few more desks For our fine people, I guess So we'll put them all here against the back wall, as long as the CEO can inspect everything he sees, let's put some plants around them so they can never return home.

Pam wants us to look into some things, so let her see unlocking dev kits, designer kits, and a landing page. Now we need to add that feature of a home page and it is currently at level zero of zero. How effective, so what we need to do is update it, but to update it we need these four main components and we get them because as you can see, they were created by a designer, okay, so I think all we do is tell this designer , oh yeah, so we just click on and they'll start doing them, so just I don't know, click on a bunch of these here, yeah, do all of those and the same with you.

I need you to develop all this stuff, all the database stuff and the UI stuff, and Luis, sit here and do your research forever, but first. I want you to start training because I want your speed to increase so you can investigate even faster oh yeah, look at everyone, that's what I like to see, just this weird office with plants and people and then disappearing like that. I've realized that that's their version of them going home when they go home for the night, they leave like a ghost imprint of where they work. Each of these people also has similar demands, so Hilda here really needs a whiteboard. work on that, okay, now we have all our components, now we can upgrade to level 1 of a homepage, whatever that means, tada oh wow, your homepage will definitely get people excited about all of them. my stars, everything is so cheap, all we need is a little. of marketing to get some traffic, go to your website and select the marketing tab, ok here we are, let's make a campaign to make an email campaign to promote the landing page of any genre and we can't click on nothing more, so go.

Go ahead and create that campaign, oh yeah, look, it looks pretty good, so I don't know what to do with our CEO, so I just trained him and it looks like he

made

it to the end. I guess we're going to upgrade to a mid-CEO. Are you sure you want to upgrade Chad Broski to Intermediate? Of course, he's the CEO, just update him. Yay, yes. Louise, look, you have almost an intermediate level in research. Wow, you're really digging pretty fast. Actually, Louise, I think it was worth it. If we have all these features that we can add, we have to research them to unlock them, so if we go to our research department, here we will unlock the list of items.

We need a lead developer now Chad I'm going to need you to have to find me a lead developer please find him find him find him thank you oh he only wants four thousand let's open negotiations at twenty five excuse me this just won't work Jackson let's temper our expectations here Jackson, this is unacceptable Chad find More candidates, let's unlock this lead developer kit. We'll need it one day when we hire a lead developer. Now we can investigate both salary expectations and demands. If I just click on this, it will do it automatically. Are you sure you want? to instantly hire this candidate for 4904, yeah sure, why not, we have a clear space next to him, the most horrible desk, let's have you research all these components, whatever they are, there are some tricks to this, how to do These things, you need to have these other modules so that the departments have to work together on this as long as everyone's hands move wildly when they're at work, that's all I really care about.

Let's go ahead and add a new feature called item listing that allows your users to view and create item listings. for sale perfect, great job, your first real feature. Have you noticed the emoticon in the top right corner of the features tab? This indicates how satisfied your users are currently. They are not very happy because your new role is too low level. yeah, high trust developer, I get it, that's how it works, everyone comes to work, makes one of these various components, those components end up working for someone else's stuff, our lead developer came in and

made

all the components we needed, tada whoo, sixty thousand. dollar bonus error, buy their offers, Lewis Cook researcher, significantly higher salary, you want to counter the offer with one thing and one thing, okay, I spent so much time training, you are not going anywhere or I will be angry, did you know? we're going to upgrade to furniture package two here.

Oh, could you see that a coffee maker is going to come here? You guys won't even be able to get to it, but at least you know it's there, it's not happy. anything else, except at least the coffee machines, let's not skimp on the plants here, yes, this is a hundred dollars per plant, well spent. Fortunately, our registered users continue to increase despite their lackluster satisfaction. We also have to worry about server load, which is currently fine. at home, there are so many users. I must admit that people here at Johnston Invest are starting to bet on its success.

We are very impressed. Now we need to talk about servers. As you begin to add upgrade features, more compute units will be needed. Start by hiring assistance. min next add a mini cloud server okay whatever clean up some of the floors a desk down here okay Chad find me assisted min 47 93 sounds good Tilley you're hired let's start working on all these components as always, I don't know what they do. I just know that I need them done. Now we can add an instance to our cloud servers or whatever. Because we reached a milestone, they keep giving us money.

Now we will add a feature that will make everyone happy. Text Ads by the sad faced little friend, it's almost like people don't want text ads, we need a sales executive to handle all this for the ads, find us a sales rep that looks like the perfect space for a desk , there you have it. You look like the other person sitting there Same pants Same shirt Same everything How did I not realize until now that we're an office full of clones? Oh yeah, good news, we're making money now, a full eighty-four dollars, the next milestone. What we have to do is increase the workstations to twenty people.

I think we can possibly make it more welcoming here. My favorite part about this, honestly, might be that we get to pick this guy up. He just writes furiously forever. He doesn't care what we do. - um ah man, we can't put more in, okay, we'll upgrade the offices, the medium building has a maximum of 20 workstations, okay, I'm glad you kept our current layout like this, look at all the space we have now, which means we can. Let's move the coffee pot even further away from everyone and we can put our CEO in an even bigger pile of plants, here we go.

The CEO looks nice and healthy in this pile of plants over there. Just because we have more space doesn't mean we are We will make this more comfortable for everyone, it will put everyone in a big, uncomfortable grid. We'll put this one at the end so these people can't even get out. They wanted to do it, so one of the next positions we need to unlock. a marketer or what I'll call them a market here four thousand Russell, we have a winner, now Russell has something to do like copywriting and text formatting, image formatting, all kinds of things that nobody cares about, the reason why which they are.

We're going to move on to marketing here and we're going to make a compelling text ad that requires those two components. We will promote the landing page to all genders and all ages. Go ahead, friend, look at our users. I like it because it's very vaguely similar to what we're giving out, but not really. OMG here we go we will reach our next milestone which is a hundred thousand users congratulations on the amazing growth all my stars everything is so cheap we need to talk. About Frameworks Right now you're using a free framework that simply won't be able to handle the levels of features you'll need in the future to upgrade your framework, click the Upgrade button in the top right corner of the site features tab web so let's hit refresh and see what happens oh I've got to look into it okay okay we'll look into it there it's a cute frame not him or a sharp frame now let's go back to that screen and try to get some seriousness this time installed , a great choice. a new framework allows you to reach much higher future levels.

Well, it's time for us to finally start our server farm. Finally we are going to opt for accommodation in the basement. Welcome to the basement everyone, oh wow, that's a nice sound. It's still my heart. The emotion. it never stops here, so let's go ahead and put a rack right there like I'm not expecting this at all. Add the device. I guess we need to buy them all and let's put the cash server there and the database in the middle. maximum airflow yeah that's what's cool we did it to get the best airflow let's put this guy right in the center so when they lower their bodies here they at least have something to hide behind and hey, check it out, oh my stars, everything is fine. so cheap currently going viral and a DDoS attack we are getting all the good stuff today well that doesn't look very good absurd will be fine people are fine with that kind of terrible speed right?

Do you know what these text ads are? we're just not cutting it, we're not making money off of this, so if we're going to replace that feature witha different interesting feature called video ads, everyone's favorite but it is very annoying for the user but it generated hundred percent higher revenue oh my. God we did it, we finally made a profit, all it took was switching to video ads and selling ours, so I like to see all those green numbers, it means we're actually making a profit, it means people love us. Oh God, all I know is that we're going to need to update our servers.

Look, now it's going everywhere. Oh gosh, I can still hear people typing while I'm here. It's like it's in my head forever. Well, then this guy is full. Let's go ahead and double that. Sounds good, yeah, why stop there? Let's make another one that helps stability. Almost every time I play games like this, all I really want to do is see if we can do something ridiculous with the game or win an insane amount of money. and that's when I discovered furniture package number three, the plant in a white vase that you shouldn't have. We'll just make a little triangle here with white plants around the CEO, which could be him pretending he's flying a stealth bomber backwards or it's part of some ritual actually that gives me an idea, let me make a little more money and then we'll try this in a new office i can buy some walls i have to keep the CEO safe from all the riffraff here we go we are getting to that point in the game where we actually have positive money, we keep getting more users, we keep updating our homepage in our article. listing, we're basically fucking Craigslist, we found our way over Flik, ​​sir and ground zero, watch out for movie times, here it comes, oh stars, everything's so cheap, right, it's new office time, let's get out of here.

I love that you just drop your old one. let's settle in the new building as is our custom, let's take the coffee maker and put it as far as possible from the other employees, also see if we can expand our beautiful garden, here yes, here we go, that's better now that the CEO is doing what he the CEOs sitting at their desk summoning the Lord of Darkness from their pentagram, some sort of star, anyway let's put another desk down here, all gross because we need support staff now, what will be the cheapest shot? I accidentally offered 15 grand.

Oh Claudia, I have bad news for you, I'm sorry, that was an accident, so I'll have to let you go. Firing employees will lower the morale of the rest of your employees. Oh wow, if I had known I would. I've fired people more often, okay, let's try again. Don't accidentally hire people only to fire them in front of everyone else. Connor, how would you like to earn very little? Additionally, support staff receive 5,000 per month. I mean, just go watch my game. tech support and you can see there's no way for that to happen, right? Connor, sit here Connor, it takes you seven point nine hours to resolve a low complexity ticket.

Are you like disarming a bomb? Why does it take so long to solve? ticket, we're also having some slight server issues here. I mean, if I duplicate this over and over again, that will solve all our problems, a lot of times, no, it's a whopping 212 degrees Fahrenheit in here, will this kick in? fire hmm you know I think something went wrong wait I have all the answers for you right here it's this basic fan I have no idea if this is facing the right direction but okay cool aha okay guys , wait hard. I'll just add more of these, that's how cooling works well.

I hope this works because this is all our money. Look, now everything is back online. A perfect 97 degree Fahrenheit crisis was averted. Many of my employees are still entry-level. earning their horrible salaries and they have all these demands and I intentionally don't meet any of them no one takes their bookshelf their whiteboard nothing big meeting table are you crazy? this guy has a 70% negative mood penalty, I guess that'll do it for you, okay, we hit our two max levels again, level 60, we have to raise another one, so it's time to upgrade this guy , so we're going to update to the nice framework 2.0, oh my goodness, and we have three new features. may I add, okay, let's add the sharing functionality, which makes you very sad for some reason.

I have an idea, well, everyone went away for the night, let's move everyone's desks, like, yeah, can you imagine coming to work one day and this is what happened to your office? Honestly my favorite is this person here, everyone can look at her screen and she can't see anyone else. I feel like the tutor below has sad eyes, like why are you doing this to these people? The human resources manager can control the work. hours, wait a minute, does this mean they will have their 7 hour work day like they keep asking or does it mean I can give them a 17 hour work day?

Guess we'll have to unlock them to find out Chad finds me less confident HR manager, can you be good enough for me, oh hell yeah, I can work a 17 hour day for maximum efficiency, who's ready? Did you know? I think programming only affects grace. I don't know why, but that's almost funnier, oh my god. Her mood is actually zero, literally everyone has gone home except Grace who is alone in this office with a bunch of ghost people. I'm going to move Grace here so we can see her, she's not even writing, she's just sitting there, oh, we can have glass walls.

I know what to do with these why Grace's long face hello well there you go Grace besides being in a cage she's not even good she says I don't even care you know I think things are getting a little tight. here I think it's time to move forward in time for the skyscraper one hundred and sixty workstations two floors here we are finally all this space so we can spread out I've hired a couple of additional designers on floor number two under the loving care of your Lord and Master Grace in the center of the room, surrounded by water coolers, get to work in this total cacophony where everyone feels like their neighbors are spying on them.

There is no coffee maker on this floor and there is no escape. I also like how polished it is. everyone should play a lot of frisbee golf, you know, right now with our $340 million, I think we can afford to move offices, let's take this show on the road guys, and rent the headquarters, see, that's what I like to see. See all the people crammed into the corner over there and then move on to the CEO. We just have tons of space for him, as is our custom. Bring the coffee maker to the end. Right there, floor number two looks like the stock market.

At this point I'm really excited to flood it with more crappy desks now that we have our big office, after all we should be thinking about acquisitions since we happen to be number four in the purchasing platform space, the first thing we'll do. it's buy Ally Tata here give me all your tada shares now we own them oh you know what let's suck it up join us all these other users anyway let's keep buying now we own everyone selling how's the trade? Yes you are ours now and the $10 stores acquired well so we proceeded to buy everyone below us, now we have to set our sights on the top three buys of uber, eBay and Amazon.

I love it, we are absorbing so many users at once from so many companies that it is just going off the page here I have also extended the grace of eight jars reach she now dominates the entire floor it is not completely full there is a section in the middle that still has no one all these other happy people are working on god knows what it is I've been playing for a while let me update you on what's been happening currently it's day 1427 we have 58,000 research points in Damir fifteen point five billion dollars while playing this there was actually an update that added a third floor to our building so I moved some people around the first floor of our new floor which belongs only to the CEO, he can sit on his staff and have fun.

The developers on the third floor just their desks basically form a giant maze, it's basically like a human centipede but with desks I also made it a point to only hire people who wear green shirts and now that I look closer I'm pretty sure they're all related. I'm not a total monster, although there are a few water dispensers on this floor. Behind the glass I feel like these are the key desks here because at least you can look out. We also had to leave our small server basement behind because we started needing too many servers, so I upgraded to the big boy, it's a bit difficult. to see, but these servers spell the word send help please, I made sure to put some fans in here or else the thing wouldn't work at all, but I also made sure to include as many servers as possible, in a world practical.

They are completely useless, so if we look at our competitors in buyouts, we are now on top with a valuation of $9.46 billion, which is strange considering we actually have more cash than that on our hands, come on to absorb them all now, so we might be on top of the buying platform, but we're not on top of a global platform, we'll start by buying reddit now that we pretty much own the entire

internet

, let's check out and buy all these companies, you know what else ? Actually, we don't need all these engineers anymore. You are an expense that I no longer need to pay for.

Look at this big, beautiful empty apartment. There is nothing but empty desks. I went ahead and created a couple more companies that you can't absorb. every company unless we do a social media company and I would like a company similar to YouTube for our social media company we will name it we hate social media meant to be a star and for our Netflix like Josh shows you Be I'm feeling lazy, Josh Tube, so now we have all my stars. Everything is so cheap that we hate social media. Josh Flicks and Josh Tube. Ok, we've gone and absorbed all these other companies that they've been absorbed into as well.

Generally now everyone only goes to one company for all their social media to watch movies and buy things. I went ahead and finished laying off all of our employees. There's only one thing left to do. Delete the websites. Goodbye, Josh. bye Josh movies, bye we hate social media and bye oh stars everything is so cheap. Well, it looks like we've basically eliminated the Internet. I guess it's time to take our $246 billion and go play outside. Not bad for a startup that didn't do it. exists mm 196 days ago so I hope you had a great time. I know I did.

See you next time.
