Chapter 552 Then you guys just copy it for me!
The decoration of the house has been basically completed.
On Sunday morning, Xu Ye and Chen Qingqing followed the designer upstairs and downstairs with the renderings. After finding that the decoration effect was almost the same as the renderings, they asked the designer to help contact a housekeeping company to be responsible for the house cleaning.
The two had a quick meal at noon and went to the largest furniture store in Pudong to select furniture for the new home. During the period, Chen Qingqing also made a video call to Jiang Meilin and asked for some suggestions. After shopping in the furniture store for a whole afternoon and buying all the large furniture, Xu Ye sent Chen Qingqing back to school.
In the new week, the school also entered the review stage for the final exam.
However, among the four people in the dormitory, except Yang Fei, Xu Ye, Zhang Xinzhou and Li Tongwen all focused on work.
Whether he failed the exam or not, Zhang Xinzhou now felt that it didn’t make much sense, not to mention that he had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible for him to have a lot of time to study like in his freshman and sophomore years.
Besides, isn't the purpose of studying to find a job and make money? Since you already have a job and can make money, why bother?
Li Tongwen and Xu Ye have been together for a long time, and they understand a lot of truths that cannot be learned from books.
For example: efforts do not necessarily pay off. If hard work can lead to success, there will not be so many poor people in the world. For most people, the word "hard work" should be separated into slavery.
For example: the children of poor people grow up early, which is actually the most distorted statement. Maturity does not mean being able to do farm work, housework, work like a cow or a horse, and take care of younger brothers and sisters; real maturity is being sensible early, quick to react, sweet-mouthed, and able to deal with things.
For example: There are actually two sets of rules in society, one for those who "tighten screws" and one for smart people.
In fact, very little of what was taught in school was actually useful, and most of the content learned was already very outdated. Since Li Tongwen discovered that he learned more useful things at work than in school, he gradually lost his nerdy temperament.
Monday afternoon.
After dinner, Xu Ye went to Ark Interactive Entertainment. When most people arrived, Xu Ye asked the front desk to call a group of programmers into the conference room.
"Well... I just got the news that Ark Interactive Entertainment has been ranked in the top 100 free software on the iOS platform, and has also achieved good rankings in many Android app stores. In addition to the contributions of the operation team, you have also made great contributions. I believe you should have received the bonus. How about it, are you satisfied with the amount of the bonus?"
"Satisfied!"
"Satisfied is good, then the old rules, we won't talk nonsense, today's meeting is the same as the last time, I will assign tasks to you, you listen carefully, and ask questions later."
As he spoke, Xu Ye turned on the projector. In addition to some commonly used applications, there were two very conspicuous PPT documents on the desktop.
The two document names are: Dig for Ascension and Human Fall Flat.
Xu Ye spent about 20 minutes introducing the gameplay and rules of the two games. He was afraid that he didn't explain it clearly, and he deliberately used very abstract paintings to draw the game screen.
Dig for Ascension is a stand-alone game, and the gameplay is simple and simple. This game is not difficult to make.
But Human: Fall Flat is different. It is an online game with many levels and many ways to play. It is more difficult than an order of magnitude.
After listening to it, Duan Wenjie said bluntly: "We don't have enough people."
"In one and a half months, I only want you to complete the first six levels. How many people do you think our company needs to recruit based on the existing foundation?"
"Ten, and they must have experience, not the same as these rookies."
The top students who graduated from 985 and 211 in the office were not dissatisfied at all when they heard this, which indirectly reflected that Duan Wenjie's technical ability is indeed very strong.
"Okay, then I'll ask the human resources department to recruit people."
Duan Wenjie quickly said: "There are several people in my group who are very skilled. They are currently working in large companies, but they have to work overtime a lot. How about I ask them if they are willing to change jobs?"
Birds of a feather flock together.
Duan Wenjie said that people with great skills will naturally not be bad.
What's more, these games are just the beginning, and more and more people will be needed later.
Xu Ye adjourned the meeting first, asked others to leave the meeting room, and then said to Duan Wenjie alone: "You know their situation, how much annual salary do you think they are willing to change jobs?"
"Their current annual salary is around 40, plus the year-end bonus, about 50 a year."
In 2017, this salary was already very high.
But with the idea of not sacrificing the child to catch the wolf, Xu Ye quickly said: "Then I will give them an annual salary of 500,000, and the year-end bonus will be calculated separately, with a minimum annual guarantee of no less than 600,000, and other bonuses will be calculated separately."
"Then I will tell them, whether they are willing or not is up to them, but it is quite free here, and some people should want to come."
"Okay, as soon as possible, at this stage, time is money for us."
"Yeah."
...
At the same time.
Qianchuan Entertainment Company also held a meeting.
Boss Dong Xiang was furious in the conference room: "They are both game platforms, and they both spend money on promotion. Why are their platforms ranked, while our platform has not yet exceeded 50,000 registered users! Tell me! Why is that?!"
"That..."
The operations director with glasses said weakly: "In addition to spending money on streaming, they also have business cooperation with major live streaming platforms."
"Then we will do it too!"
"There is another reason..."
"Tell me!"
"That is, our conversion rate is very low. To put it simply, the quality of our games is not as good as theirs." The operations director stopped there and quickly closed his mouth.
Although Dong Xiang was very angry, after hearing this reason, he took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and finally said: "Then you copy it for me!"
"Huh?"
The people in the meeting looked at each other with a confused look on their faces.
Dong Xiang continued: "They made 'Sheep, Sheep', so we imitated them and made a 'Cow,' they made 'Jump,' so we made a 'Bounce,' anyway, the gameplay is similar, there is nothing to be ashamed of, a company as big as Penguin also copied other people's games."
"Uh..."
No one dared to speak in the meeting room.
Everyone felt that this was too despicable.
Seeing this, Dong Xiang suddenly slammed the table and said: "Why are you still standing there? Do what I say now, right now!"
...
Coincidentally, an employee of Ark Interactive Entertainment and an employee of Qianchuan Entertainment are classmates.
And the two of them are sharing a rent.
That night, the employees of Qianchuan Entertainment complained: "Stupid boss, he knows nothing, he just knows how to push us to speed up the progress. Damn, I would have never gone to this company if I had known earlier."
"It seems that our company is hiring again recently. Why don't you go for an interview?"
"Can your company recommend internally? Otherwise, you can ask for me."
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow."
"Our boss has already issued an order. Within half a month, we must copy the two games of your company and make two imitations."
"Is it true?"
"Really, I said it at the meeting today. This boss is really impatient."
The next day, the news reached Xu Ye's ears, but he was not worried at all. Half a month later, the popularity of these two games was basically over. Penguin Company can do this because they have a large user base. If you, a small company, do this, isn't it just a pit in your brain?
