Monday, April 18th.
Jin Yiwei’s matter has been left to Xiao Tang, and I don’t know what kind of people she will find.
Tengda now has many departments. Even if each department is to place a supervisor, it would require more than a dozen people, and it is impossible to get them together in a hurry.
Pei Qian’s request to Tang Yishu is to find everyone before next Saturday.
While waiting for Saturday, I secretly held a small meeting while no one was in the company to arrange the work. Thinking about it, I actually felt a little confused.
Pei Qian still slept until he woke up naturally today. After eating, he came to the company to walk around and express his feelings.
However, before I could open the Elly Island website to catch up on the drama, I heard a knock on the door from outside.
"Huh?"
Pei Qian couldn't help but frown, why are you so anxious?
Not two minutes after he entered the office, there was a knock on the door. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Please come in."
Outside the door, Hu Xianbin pushed the door open and entered.
"What's wrong, are you encountering problems with the development of "Struggle"?" Pei Qian couldn't help but have some small expectations in his heart.
Hu Xianbin shook his head: "No, the development of "Struggle" has gone smoothly so far. It's GOG's business!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
On the one hand, it is because the development of "Struggle" is going smoothly, and on the other hand, Hu Xianbin is still worried about GOG, which is very inconsistent with the spirit of Tenda.
Pei Qian coughed twice: "Don't worry about talking about GOG."
"There are some problems with your work ideas."
"People Your energy is limited and you can only do the same thing at the same time. How can you take care of the research and development of "Struggle" and the operation of GOG?"
"Hurry up and let go of the operation of GOG."
After all, Hu Xianbin was also the developer of GOG in the second half, responsible for the launch of the mobile game version and the client game version, and he knew the GOG project very well.
Pei Qian asked Hu Xianbin to be responsible for the research and development of the "Struggle" project just to get him to stop caring about GOG. In the end, he actually wanted to do both jobs at the same time, which was really too much.
Hu Xianbin was stunned for a moment: "Uh, okay Mr. Pei, I will hand over the work to Min Jingchao when I get back."
"But... I do have a very important role in the GOG project. I need to report something!"
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, you tell me."
Hu Xianbin looked very urgent: "Mr. Pei, I hope to make an exception for Tengda. The game department is urgently recruiting more people!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but frown.
Make an exception?
Recruit more people?
Little brother, this is a very dangerous idea!
Nowadays, all departments and positions in Tenda are recruited uniformly. There are only two recruitments every year.times, in May and November respectively.
The main reason for setting this time is to avoid the peak recruitment season.
Since the recruitment steps are relatively cumbersome and sufficient time is left for new employees to go through resignation procedures and hand over work, the actual time to join the company will be one month later.
But Pei Qian looked at the date and saw that today was already April 18th. What urgent matters were there at GOG that couldn't even wait for more than a month?
There must be something wrong here!
Pei Qian attaches great importance to it in his heart, but on the surface he still asks calmly: "Why are you so anxious to recruit people?"
Hu Xianbin said: "Mr. Pei, because of ioi There is going to be an 'arms race' with us, and now the GOG project is in urgent need of manpower expansion! Otherwise, our initial advantage will be lost!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy.
Although I don’t understand what “arms race” specifically refers to, one thing is clear: Lin Wan is taking action!
During this period, the preparations for the ioi national server should have been almost complete, and a series of publicity strategies should have been formulated to start grabbing the GOG market.
I don’t know from what channel Hu Xianbin got the news.
However, considering that Tenda Games and Yangyang Games are brother departments, it is not surprising to get the news from any source.
In line with the mentality of just watching the excitement, Pei Qian said with a smile: "Really? Let's talk about it in detail."
Hu Xianbin hurriedly said: "ioi's strategy over there Just update hard and win with quantity. According to the current plan, two new heroes will be updated every month, which is too fast!"
"The number of heroes in GOG is slightly less than that in ioi. But it’s still within the acceptable range.”
“Once ioi updates new heroes at this speed, and we still slowly update a new hero in two months, we will definitely be dumped soon. Behind him, GOG's first-mover advantage will be gone!"
Pei Qian nodded frequently.
Yes, Zhidou Company and Lin Wan are both reliable!
Sure enough, the script developed as I imagined. I really didn’t leave any stone unturned.
Pei Qian's expression became more and more calm: "So, you want to recruit more people to compete with the opponent's speed?"
Hu Xianbin nodded: "Yes, we didn't The reason is that they lose in terms of speed! Whoever updates faster can better maintain the stickiness of players and the popularity of the game. The advantage in this aspect is huge!"
"The current situation is like this! When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, GOG must not give in!"
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "I don't agree with you."
"It's definitely not possible to recruit people in advance, even next month. I don’t recommend recruiting too many new people in the game department.”
Hu Xianbin was stunned: “Why?”
p>
Pei Qian leaned back on the boss's chair and said seriously: "The number of people is good but not too many."
"With more people, the speed will be faster and the ideas will be better." More people seem to be a good thing."
"However, more people may be a treasure or a prison."
"Don't encounter problems. It's a stupid way to think of this kind of crowd tactics, which will lower your thinking limit and destroy your inspiration."
"In short, don't recruit too many people."
Hu Xianbin. A little anxious: "But Mr. Pei..."
Pei Qian emphasized again: "Don't recruit more people."
Hu Xianbin was speechless. He didn't dare to let Mr. Pei do it again. After repeating it for the third time, he could only sigh and silently exit the office.
Pei Qian showed a satisfied smile.
Lin Wan, I can only help you so far. You must complete the task as soon as possible!
......
Hu Xianbin returned upstairs dejectedly and sat down at his desk.
When Min Jingchao saw Hu Xianbin coming back, he immediately came over.
"How about it, did Mr. Pei agree?"
Hu Xianbin shook his head: "No, Mr. Pei refused."
Min Jingchao was stunned: "Rejected? No way? Mr. Pei has always been generous with the company's expenses. Why is he not allowed to recruit a few new designers? This is a bit unscientific."
Hu Xianbin sighed: " Hey, I don’t know what Mr. Pei thinks, but his attitude is indeed very firm, saying that not only can we not make an exception for early recruitment now, but we can’t recruit too many people in the recruitment one month later.”
< p>Min Jingchao frowned, confused: "How could Mr. Pei say such a thing for no reason? Did he say something else?""Generally speaking, Mr. Pei's words will contain There are some hidden clues."
Hu Xianbin tried to remember: "Let me think about it..."
"He seemed to have said that there may be treasures if there are many people. "Cage."
"But this sentence doesn't seem to have much meaning..."
"How about asking Sister Li and Brother Bao?"
Min Jingchao? Shaking his head: "I think we shouldn't always leave it to Brother Bao when we encounter analysis questions. In Tengda, Mr. Pei's intention is to have necessary skills, and we have to practice them more."
Hu Xianbin thought After thinking: "That's right. However, what Mr. Pei said this time does not seem to have much meaning? I still have no clue at all."
Min Jingchao frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, his brows relaxed a little.
"From the original meaning, this sentence means that every designer has different ideas. Having more people can indeed provide different angles, ideas and concepts, but so many angles , ideas, and concepts all blended together, it will become a cage."
"From other people's perspective,Ideas and concepts will in turn limit your thinking. Similarly, your ideas will also limit other people's thinking. ”
“If everyone does their own thing, they will hold each other back and reduce efficiency. ”
“So, making new heroes for GOG is a tiring job and a technical job that requires continuous creativity. The key is not that there are too many people but that the chief designer can accurately control the direction of the game. ”
“No matter how many designers are hired, in the end only one person can make the final decision, unify the style, and make overall plans for the balance of the game, otherwise the game will become a stitch monster. "
Hu Xianbin was no stranger to this way of interpretation and immediately understood: "Well, that makes sense! ”
“But this still doesn’t solve the problem. ”
“Everyone’s ability to generate ideas is limited. There are too few people and there is simply not enough inspiration. You can do the overall planning, but providing inspiration and designing different new heroes still requires manpower. "
Min Jingchao fell into deep thought again, this time for a longer time.
After a long time, he slowly said: "It seems, not necessarily." ”
“It is true that everyone has limited inspiration and limited ideas. However, designers are not the only ones who can provide inspiration and design new heroes. "
"Mr. Pei expressed a kind of dialectical thinking. He did not deny the power of numbers. His original words were "It may be a treasure, or it may be a cage." We only analyzed the 'cage' aspect, but we did not delve into the 'treasure' aspect. ”
“No matter how many designers we recruit, how can we compare with the wisdom of the majority of players? ”
“The designer is just a small treasure, but the players are the big treasure. ”
“Mr. Pei won’t let us recruit designers because this move cannot fundamentally solve the problem and is inefficient. "
"In other words... we can allow players to participate in GOG's hero design! "
"So what if ioi develops heroes faster? If we can really fully mobilize the enthusiasm of players, then inspiration and ideas will be inexhaustible! "
Hu Xianbin suddenly said: "It makes sense! "
"So this is what Pei always meant? ”
“Indeed, by fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of players and allowing them to provide ideas and content, our designers only need to be responsible for screening, modification, balancing and other tasks, which perfectly solves this problem! ”
Min Jingchao suddenly stood up: “I’m going to make an activity plan right now!” "
......
After sending Hu Xianbin away, Pei Qian followed the drama for a while.
Looking at the time, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.< /p>
“I haven’t seen Lao Ma for a long time, let’s go to Dream Realm Venture Capital. ”
Pei Qian then remembered that he had always wanted to go to Yuanmeng Venture Capital to ask Lao Ma about it.Good investment projects come, but in the end, they are forgotten in the busyness.
The weather is nice today, so I can go out for a walk. By the way, I will take a look at the recent situation of Lao Ma and Yuanmeng Venture Capital.
Pei Qian had made an agreement with Lao Ma before, asking him to find a suitable project and notify him as soon as possible.
However, it has been so long, and there is no movement at all from Lao Ma.
Pei Qian couldn't help but wonder, what on earth is Ma Yang doing?
He is not worried about Ma Yang secretly spending money, because since the last incident of investing in Zhidou Company, Pei Qian has required that all investments made by Yuanmeng Venture Capital must be approved by him.
Since no one has asked for instructions now, it means that Dream Venture Capital has not spent a penny.
Then the question is, since Ma Yang didn’t spend any money, what was he doing?
[GOG’s hero design, everyone mentioned in this chapter, please start your performance]
