Wednesday, December 7th.
In Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian was drinking coffee and reading the news on the forum.
"It's strange. It stands to reason that the qualifying competition for ioi should start soon. Why can't I see any news on the Internet?"
"There are a few gossips, but there is no news." Even if it’s real, it won’t make any waves at all.”
Pei Qian was a little confused, because according to the information from Yangyang Games, the ioi qualifying competition should start within a week. right.
Because the GPL league’s preseason starts this weekend, not all clubs will participate in this preseason, and it will only last three weeks.
For the club, the preseason is an opportunity to practice and run in. For the league, it can adapt to various emergencies in the game in advance. For the audience, it is a boring period. You can also watch games during the time and see the preview of the GPL league in advance.
After finishing the game at the end of this month, we will take a two-week break, and then around mid-January, the GPL Spring Split will officially start.
At present, ioi is facing a huge threat from GOG. It is better overseas, especially at home. It can be said that every move of ioi’s national server depends on GOG’s face.
Including changes in the new version of ioi, they are also learning from GOG.
In this case, the two important games of ioi: the qualifying rounds and the world finals must avoid GOG game time as much as possible.
The matches on both sides are taking place at the same time. Isn’t the ioi side waiting to be robbed of its popularity?
So, the time set by Zhidou Company should be to finish the domestic qualifying matches this weekend and decide the three teams to compete in the World Championship; and wait until the end of this month to take advantage of the GPL pre-season. Holding the World Finals just after the end of the game will stagger the popularity of the GPL and avoid its sharp edge.
Pei Qian also agreed with this idea with both hands.
However, what makes Pei Qian feel a little regretful is that the ioi domestic qualifying competition still collides with the GPL pre-season: they both start this weekend.
"It seems that Zhidou Company has tried very hard to avoid GPL events, but there is no way, there is really not enough time."
"Starting from the ioi qualifying competition From preparation to the official start, time is very tight. It is impossible to move forward. If we delay it, there will be GPL competitions in the next twenty days, so there is no point in delaying."
"So we can only crash. Yes, this is a bit embarrassing.”
“But it’s a crash. Isn’t it a bit unreasonable that the popularity of the ioi qualifying competition is so low? The official doesn’t seem to have done much publicity?”
” There is no sound at all. Isn’t this giving away the popularity to GPL?”
“These people are too unprofessional. We must find a way to help them and stir up the popularity.”
"Well...how can I help?Woolen cloth? ”
Pei Qian saw that the popularity of the ioi qualifying competition was so low and no one was discussing it at all, so he couldn’t help but worry for them.
If the ioi competition cannot become popular, what else will happen? Threat to GOG?
If GOG’s popularity continues to be as high as it is now, how can we lose money?
So, Pei Qian decided to lend a helping hand to Zhitou Company. . At least increase the popularity of the ioi qualifying competition and raise some attention.
This is just a matter of spending some marketing expenses, and it doesn’t cost much.
The company and Longyu Group are both big companies that are not short of money. Why are they so stingy about this matter? This is quite puzzling to Pei Qian.
But on second thought, it might be a qualifying competition. Are you preparing in a hurry, so you haven’t taken the time to stir up the heat yet?
Well, this possibility exists.
It’s more important to give it a try.
p>
But Pei Qian has no idea how to help.
It is definitely impossible to pay for it out of his own pocket. With the three melons and two dates in Pei Qian's pocket, at most. Go buy some fake money online and brag about it, but the effect is minimal.
Besides, the fundamental purpose of doing these things is to lose money and convert more personal property. In the end, you need to take personal money before losing money. Isn’t it crazy to transfer property to others?
So, we still have to find a way to get the system to reimburse us.
The problem is that the ioi qualifying competition is not a competition held by Tenda. , how can this be reimbursed by the system?
Pei Qian rubbed his chin and thought hard for a long time, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Yes, I am not. Did you just invest in an ioi club? You can write some articles on this! ”
Pei Qian just made a trip to Magic City on Monday, and Lightspeed invested in the FV club. It has only been two days since then.
Spend the company’s money to promote the ioi qualifying competition , that makes no sense, and the system won’t approve it. But if you want to spend money to promote the FV club and promote the ioi qualifying competition, wouldn’t it be enough?
You can spend as much as you can to promote your own club. The system is very tolerant in this regard!
Although Pei Qian has made up his mind not to interfere in the operation of the FV Club, but giving it some money for advertising shouldn't be considered interference in the operation, right?
Of course, there are also hidden dangers in doing this, that is, what if FV Club becomes famous, its attention increases significantly, and there are hidden profit risks.
But Pei Qian thought about it and realized this. This possibility is too low, very slim.
What is the current status of the FV club?
There is some money, but not much. Pei Qian only gave 3 million. Compared with the investment of those wealthy clubs, the money is nothing; let alone the people, there are only three players left, and their strength is not that good..
For a club like this, what can we do if we desperately promote it?
E-sports is ultimately about performance. Without performance, no matter how much marketing is done, it will only make the audience feel sick and uncomfortable, and it will accelerate the loss of popularity among passers-by.
Besides, the chances of the FV club making it out of the qualifying round are very slim. Now that they are promoting it like crazy, the popularity cannot be retained at all.
In short, the heat brought by the money-burning publicity will be concentrated on the ioi qualifying competition, which will not have much impact on the FV club itself, and Pei Qian also legitimately spent a lot of money.
Perfect, very perfect!
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more appropriate it became, and he immediately called Wu Yue, the owner of FV Club.
"Hello, Mr. Pei?" The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Wu Yue's voice was a bit sleepy, as if he had just woken up.
Pei Qian looked at his watch. It’s almost 11 a.m., are you still sleeping? I woke up later than me?
Yes, Mr. Pei appreciates this kind of person.
Pei Qian asked: "Does the club have enough money to spend?"
Wu Yue on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment.
Didn’t Mr. Pei invest three million just yesterday? Why did you ask for money again today?
Could it be that... Mr. Pei knew that I was buying team members and was worried that I didn’t have enough money, so he wanted to give me more money?
Wu Yue couldn't help but feel warm and moved, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, the money is still enough, you don't have to worry about this."
Pei Qian was very dissatisfied with this answer. satisfy.
When do you still have enough money? This Wu Yue is not honest at first glance.
Pei Qian coughed twice: "Enough is definitely impossible. If you think the money is enough, it must be that the work somewhere is not done well!"
"In this case, I will give you another three million."
"But these three million are earmarked for marketing expenses. Use this money to promote online and promote it through various channels Let’s talk about FV Club and the upcoming ioi qualifying competition.”
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment and said quickly: “Mr. Pei, three million in marketing expenses is too much! It would be good, but a bit wasteful..."
"Otherwise, use half a million or one million for marketing, and use the other money elsewhere..."
< p>Pei Qian's eyes lit up when he heard the word "waste".It’s better to waste it!
It would be a real waste to use it elsewhere.
Pei Qian immediately said: "No, all three million must be used for marketing and promotion expenses, and all must be spent before this weekend, not a penny can be left!"
< p>"Don't ask why, just spend it."Although Pei Qian said he would not interfere in the daily operations of FV Club, this kind of forced money cannot be regarded as interfering in operations, and Wu Yue did not do it at all. Refuse for any reason.
Wu Yue on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and then reluctantly said: "Okay, Mr. Pei, since you have already thought about it, I will use all three million for marketing."< /p>
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, don't worry, spend it hard. By the way, you must remember to promote the ioi qualifying competition."
Pei Qian was afraid that Wu Yue would forget, in case there is only one The FV club has been promoted but the ioi qualifying tournament has been promoted, which is a bit putting the cart before the horse.
After all, Pei Qian’s fundamental purpose is to let more people know about the ioi qualifying competition and create popularity for ioi.
Wu Yue: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I understand!"
...
After hanging up the phone, Wu Yue turned over and sat up from the bed.
He rushed back from Jingzhou with several team members late at night last night, and set up accommodation for the team members. He spent almost the whole night and just fell asleep at around six in the morning.
Unexpectedly, I slept until noon and was woken up by a phone call from Mr. Pei, another three million from the sky.
Wu Yue lost all sleep in an instant, got up, washed his face, and immediately called Manager Lu to explain in detail the matter of receiving another three million in marketing expenses.
Manager Lu also just woke up and was as confused as Wu Yue.
"Mr. Pei gave another three million? And he also specifically stated that this is a marketing expense? It can only be spent on marketing?" Manager Lu also felt that this was a little outrageous.
Why is Mr. Pei so nice to FV Club?
Excluding the option that Mr. Pei is actually Mr. Wu’s long-lost biological father, it actually makes no sense.
Wu Yue said: "I made a rough inference based on Mr. Pei's tone and recent events. Please listen to see if this is a possibility."
" The first thing Mr. Pei said when he came up was to ask me if the money was enough. It must be because he knew about our purchase of team members. "
"In this case, Mr. Pei must have wanted us to spend the money. Other places."
"The current hard strength of our team is already very good in the ioi e-sports circle. The specific results we can achieve depend on the team's running-in status, but with It’s absolutely no problem for those strong teams to give it a try.”
“Since we already have a certain level of strength, what our club lacks most at the moment is obviously popularity and popularity.”
"And Mr. Pei specially gave a marketing fund, which is actually a reminder to us that it is almost time to stir up the popularity. Now is the right time."
Manager Lu was stunned for a moment: " But Mr. Wu, the ioi qualifying round has not yet started, and we are not sure that we will qualify. Now that the hype is rising, if the game is not won, wouldn’t it be a waste of money for other clubs?”
Wu Yue shook his head: "There is such a risk, but this risk must be taken."
"If we are sure to qualify and then promote it, what's the use? The game has already been Quick fightIt's over, the heat has passed! ”
“It is necessary to promote and warm up in advance before the game starts, so as to attract netizens’ attention to the game and our club. In this way, we can gain more popularity after our team members perform well. "
"As for the possibility of making wedding clothes for others... I can only say that this kind of risk must be taken. ”
“Mr. Pei should also know this very well, so he repeatedly warned that all the money must be spent within a week. Doesn't this remind us that we must build up the excitement before the game starts? ”
Manager Lu suddenly said: “That’s right.” "
"Then I will prepare now and start building momentum for the FV club and ioi qualifying competition! "
......
After calling Wu Yue, Pei Qian temporarily put the e-sports matter aside and stopped worrying about it.
Although he spent 3 million to help promote ioi, Pei Qian didn't have high expectations for the ioi qualifying competition. It would be best to generate popularity and help ioi counterattack, but it doesn't matter if it can't generate popularity.
Most of all. The worst case scenario is that the ioi qualifying competition is still not popular, but at least for Pei Qian, three million has been spent.
Pei Qian started to think about things in the imperial capital.
p>Currently there are two projects in Imperial City that Pei Qian is more concerned about. The first is the independent game incubation base that Qiu Hongzai is responsible for, and the second is Meng Chang's cold-faced girl
The independent game incubation base has been officially in operation for less than half a month now. Pei Qian has never been there once, and he has a blank view of the situation there.
For some reason, he feels a little unsure. .
What if there are some hits in these independent games? What if the revenue from two or three games completely covers the losses of other games and the expenses of the incubation base, and even generates profits?
p>
Pei Qian has a good idea of his character. This possibility is not impossible, and it is very high.
So, Pei Qian is a little worried.
But Pei Qian is worried. Qian couldn't go there to see it in person, because neither the Qiutu Project nor this incubation base was currently related to Tenda. If Pei Qian went there by himself, wouldn't he be exposed on his own initiative?
Once the "Qiutu Project" and Tenda Group were exposed? With the hook, all kinds of capable, ideal and ambitious independent game producers have come to join us, so the possibility of losing money in this project will be greatly reduced.
Another project is Cold Noodles < /p>
Pei Qian has also invested a lot of money in this project. It is impossible to say that he is not worried at all.
For a project like this, it is okay if you lose it, but if you make a profit. It was a big profit, but Pei Qian didn't go to see it in person. He also felt a little uneasy.
So, after thinking about it, Pei Qian decided to send someone to see it for him.
< p> Go to the Imperial Capital, first look at the game incubation base of the Qiu Tu Project, and then look at the store of the cold-faced girl to collect some information.Report, come back and report to yourself.It may not be useful, but at least it can make you feel more at ease.
But the question is, who should be sent?
The most important thing for this person is to seek truth from facts, not to include too much subjectivity in judgment, and it is best not to be the person in charge of each department.
It’s okay to delay the department’s work, but it would be bad if the two projects were linked after reading it.
So after Pei Qian thought about it, he quickly decided on the best candidate.
Let Xiao Tang go!
Tang Yishu has no other job until now except supervising the meetings of the medical students and feeding the cats. She doesn't worry about any linkage effects when she goes to the imperial capital.
Furthermore, Tang Yishu’s presence within Tenda Group is very small. Even if she showed up at the independent game incubation base, no one would guess the relationship between the incubation base and Tenda.
In addition, Tang Yishu is observing as a third party. She does not have relevant professional knowledge. She should be able to put aside some subjective factors as much as possible and see the real situation of the independent game incubation base and the cold-faced girl.
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more appropriate he felt and called Tang Yishu.
"Hello? Senior." Tang Yishu on the other end of the phone lowered her voice, "I'm in the study room, wait a moment and I'll go outside."
After a while, Tang Yishu's voice returned Pei Qian said in a normal tone: "Senior, I'm out, what can I do?"
Pei Qian said straight to the point: "I want you to go to the Imperial Capital two days tomorrow and do something for me. . Our company currently has some business in the imperial capital. You can just go and have a look, investigate and report to me when you come back."
Tang Yishu's tone was filled with surprise and surprise: "Ah. ? Xue, senior, I'm not very good, I'm a little afraid of traveling far away..."
Pei Qian had already expected it: "It's okay, this time I will ask Xiao Sun, the best driver in the company, to drive me, and I'll find him again. Another driver will accompany you and check the car carefully from beginning to end before setting off to make sure everything is safe along the way."
"When Qiu Hong greets you there, you don't have to worry about anything, just take care of it. I will inspect it and report the problems I see truthfully."
Pei Qian knew very well that Tang Yishu's luck was rather evil, but her bad luck basically appeared in small things. For example, if you accidentally trip when going out, hidden bugs in the program may appear, etc.
Tang Yishu has never encountered major dangers that threaten her life and health. She is not a native of Jingzhou. She came all the way to study and has never heard of accidents such as train derailments, so this Don't worry too much about that. .
As long as Xiao Sun drives you there will be no problem.
Tang Yishu was still a little reluctant: "But senior, it's almost exam week, and I still have to review..."
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "It's okay, we only have two days.between. Based on your grades, the impact of not reviewing for two days will be minimal, and it will not delay you from getting a national scholarship. "
Every time he talks about this, Pei Qian is particularly envious of these super academics.
Why does Tang Yishu get high scores every time and have to struggle to pass when he gets here?
This world is so unfair!
Tang Yishu hesitated and finally agreed: "Then I'll take a trip, but I don't understand anything. I can't see any problem..."
Pei Qian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, only you who don't understand anything can see some details. You don’t need to study it deliberately, and you don’t need to care about what others say. Just observe based on your first impression, and then tell me what you observe. "
"By the way, over at the incubation base, pay attention to whether there is any overtime work. Overtime work is absolutely not allowed. ”
“If they don’t work overtime, take a look at their working status. If they are in good working condition, force them to play games for ten hours a week! ”
Pei Qian has learned to be smart now. He found that just limiting working hours can no longer control these people. Although many departments have short working hours, their work efficiency is very high and their progress has not fallen behind at all. !
So, in addition to working hours, you must also pay attention to the working status of these independent game producers in the incubation base. If the status is extreme, you must take some measures.
Tang Yishu. : "Okay, senior. ”
……
……
Thursday, December 8.
Longyu Group Headquarters, ioi Operation Cooperation Department The person in charge, Zhao Xuming, the person in charge of the ioi national service, Chretien, and the relevant staff are having a meeting.
Chretien introduced the work trends at the Zhidou company headquarters.
"Currently, the headquarters is making full preparations for the ioi World Finals. This finals will be held in Los Angeles. The venue is still being prepared and should be completed by the end of this month. ”
“Qualifying competitions around the world should be held soon to determine the places to participate in the World Championship. The World Championship is tentatively scheduled to start on Saturday, the 24th of this month, which is Christmas Eve, and will end on January 15th. ”
“This competition basically does not overlap with the GPL competition. This is also my suggestion to the headquarters. "
"Although from any aspect, the popularity of our global finals will not be lower than that of the GPL league, but considering the special circumstances of the national server, we really do not need to go head-to-head. Staggering the time can Ensure the maximum popularity of the finals. "
"In addition, in-depth innovation of ioi gameplay is still in progress. The next goal of the headquarters is to further absorb the advantages of gameplay in GOG. I overcame all objections and requested that the modified version be used in the finals to show our game to players around the world, especially Chinese players.determination. ”
“Mr. Zhao, how is the situation at Longyu Group? "
Zhao Xuming took over: "Everything is going well at Longyu Group and the progress is perfect! ”
“Due to the low-price zone and game changes some time ago, domestic players did accumulate a lot of resentment, but our procrastination tactics have begun to bear fruit. ”
“The targeted compensation for old players has temporarily calmed their anger. As for the new version, although there are certain changes in the gameplay, many old players will not be so happy after adapting to it for a period of time. Resisted. "
"I believe that as time goes by, they will slowly accept it. "
"Of course, we cannot be blindly optimistic about the current situation. There are still some old players who have become less active. But this is not a big deal. As long as the global finals are held and the popularity of ioi increases, these old players will definitely come back. "
"As for the domestic clubs, everything is foolproof. Our Longyu Group cooperates with three old clubs to coordinate and help them strengthen their teams. ”
“These three old clubs are all well-known clubs in China. They are currently the strongest and there will be no problem in making it out of the qualifying rounds. Other clubs have also received good transfer fees by buying players. When the time comes, participating in the qualifying competition will also play a certain role as a foil. ”
“This can be regarded as a win-win situation for the small clubs, the big clubs and our organizers. "
"In short, we are ready for the ioi World Finals! "
Chretien nodded: "Yes. Among the three clubs you mentioned, is there one called FV Club? "
Zhao Xuming was stunned for a moment: "Huh? No. ”
“FV Club is a small club with no reputation. Even if they participate in the qualifying competition, they are just accompanying runners. Their strength is far behind.” "
Chretien couldn't help but frown slightly, looking a little stunned.
Obviously there was a certain deviation in the understanding of information between the two parties.
"Then Why does this FV club appear to be spending their own money to promote the qualifying tournament? I thought this was the instruction of your Longyu Group. Chretien said.
Zhao Xuming was confused: "When did it happen?" How come I don't know? ”
Chretien was a little unhappy: “Since yesterday, Mr. Zhao’s recent news doesn’t seem to be very well-informed. "
Zhao Xuming hurriedly explained: "I have been busy these two days and haven't paid much attention to these. "
He turned to look at the subordinate next to him: "Do you know about this? "
The subordinate nodded: "I know. In fact, these propagandas only appeared yesterday afternoon and evening. I have sorted out the relevant content and originally wanted to report to you after today's meeting. "
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the subordinates quickly took the blame and took the blame.
Zhao Xuming said with a cold face: "Bring it immediately! ”
NextThe subordinate hurriedly got up and left. After a while, he came back with a compiled document and handed it to Zhao Xuming.
Zhao Xuming reached out to take it and browsed it quickly.
Judging from the report, FV Club has promoted in many places, including some live broadcast platforms, video websites, forums, etc. In addition to buying hot searches and advertising, these topics are as follows: There seems to be more or less signs of navy activities.
It has indeed greatly increased the popularity, but all these marketing activities are limited to the domestic qualifying matches of FV Club and ioi.
Furthermore, because FV Club itself is not well-known, it must use the ioi World Finals for marketing, so FV Club is not the most important part in these publicity.
No wonder Chretien thought these marketing activities were done by Longyu Group under the instructions of FV Club.
Zhao Xuming was completely confused. What is going on?
The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is?
Longyu Group did not deliberately promote ioi’s domestic qualifying competition, mainly because there is no need to waste money on this.
There are only a few teams participating in the domestic qualifying competition. Except for SUG and other three established clubs, the other participating teams are all accompanying teams, which have been determined when selecting players for the team.
Moreover, this qualifying tournament will not attract much attention in the country, and there will not be many people watching the game. Longyu Group has no intention of spending more money on the venue, and just found a studio to make do with it. After a while, I thought that it would be done just by going through the motions.
In this case, why spend too much money on marketing?
When the excitement starts to build, the audience comes in to take a look. Is this the stage? Is this the level of competition? It’s far different from GPL!
Spending money may not necessarily produce good results.
So it’s not that Zhao Xuming forgot to promote it, but he deliberately didn’t want to promote it in a big way. Just go through the motions and send the three established teams to the World Championship, and then we will vigorously promote and create popularity when the World Championship is held.
Money must be spent wisely.
Unexpectedly, FV Club spent its own money to promote it!
Zhao Xuming felt very puzzled, thinking that this qualifying competition had nothing to do with them?
It would be fine if clubs like SUG paid for promotion. After all, they can get real popularity and traffic, but FV Club is just a sidekick. Isn’t it a complete waste of money to promote this?
Seeing Zhao Xuming's confused look, Chretien was a little unhappy.
He knocked on the table lightly and said: "Mr. Zhao, the impact of the FV Club is not very good."
"Our own publicity is not enough, many players The information was obtained from the FV Club, but there was no official news. This seems very unprofessional on our part!”
“I originally thought that you were the one responsible for the FV Club’s promotion!I feel that your handling of this matter was a bit unprofessional. But I didn’t expect that you didn’t know about this at all? This is even more unprofessional! "
"Out of trust in Longyu Group, we have never interfered with the domestic qualifying competition, but the current situation seems to have betrayed our trust, right? ”
The corner of Zhao Xuming’s mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless in his heart.
This is so unlucky!
According to the original plan, the domestic qualifying competition was just casual. It's just okay, the teams are all decided by default, and no one is watching, so why make such a big fight?
It's not too late to save the money and wait for the World Championship.
As a result, the FV club is now in a difficult position. Players will find that the official promotion of ioi is not as good as a club?
< p>To use a simple analogy, Longyu Group is like a department leader. Originally, he led the whole department to fish, and others could not see it. At most, they just felt that this department was not very powerful.As a result, one person in the department suddenly worked hard and worked overtime every day, and the rest of the department was exposed and turned into a bunch of waste waiting to die.
Especially the department heads. People must be scolded the most.
Zhao Xuming said quickly: "Don't worry, it's still too late to make amends! ”
“The game only starts on Saturday, there are still two days left. We will invest some resources to promote ioi's qualifying competition, so that players will feel that the FV club just obtained inside information in advance and promoted it earlier than the official, and will not think that we are unprofessional. ”
“Furthermore, with the FV Club’s momentum, we should be able to achieve relatively good results if we carry out publicity at this time. "
Chretien nodded and expressed satisfaction: "It is best to remedy the situation. I believe in your professional ability. ”
On the surface, Zhao Xuming is smiling and calm, but in fact, he is cursing in his heart.
Isn’t this FV just looking for trouble? It harms others but does not benefit oneself!
This Xialongyu Group has to invest a large amount of money in this qualifying competition.
Not only advertising and marketing expenses, but also the competition venues must be rushed to make more money. A little more fancy, right?
With the increased attention, there will definitely be more players picking problems. If the venue is not beautiful enough, it will definitely lower the level of the game, which is more embarrassing.
Of course. , the game starts in two days, the time is too tight, it is definitely too late to change the venue, the only choice is to purchase some more decorations to improve the venue effect as much as possible
Zhao Xuming still can't figure out FV. Why did the club spend money to promote itself when it had nothing to do, but he didn't have time to study it in detail?
After all, time was tight, and the game was about to start in two days, so Zhao Xuming had to devote all his energy to preparations.Go up to the qualifying round.
......
At the same time, the Imperial Capital.
Tang Yishu got off the car and carefully stepped onto the land of the imperial capital.
This was her first time here. Although she was scared along the way, miraculously no accident happened.
However, this did not make Tang Yishu feel at ease. Instead, she felt more dangerous.
Maybe it’s because the previous safety measures were too good, and the bad luck didn’t find an opportunity to take advantage of, and all the bad luck accumulated. I don't know what kind of breakthrough point I will find, and it will suddenly explode.
Xiao Sun drove directly to the hotel parking lot. Qiu Hong had already booked the room for him and was waiting in the lobby in advance.
According to the itinerary, we will have something to eat and take a rest at noon, go to the independent game incubation base in the afternoon, go up to the Cold Noodle Girl the next day, and return to Jingzhou in the afternoon.
Qiu Hong looked at the mechanical watch in his hand and estimated that the time should be almost there.
After waiting for two minutes, he looked up and saw Tang Yishu arriving at the main entrance of the hotel.
The two drivers moved to the left and right like bodyguards, carefully protecting her safety. However, the automatic revolving door at the hotel entrance suddenly stopped for some unknown reason, and the three of them froze in place. land.
Qiu Hong hurriedly stepped forward and opened the side door: "Xiao Tang, right? Come here!"
Tang Yishu and the two drivers had no choice but to take the side door, but as soon as they entered the hall, The revolving door at the hotel entrance returned to normal.
Qiu Hong didn't care, thinking it was just an unexpected episode, and shook hands with Tang Yishu.
“It’s been a hard journey. The three of us must be tired after the long journey. The itinerary is as follows: We will go to a nearby place to have a quick bite, and then the three of us will go back to the hotel to rest at noon. We will wait for two o’clock in the afternoon. At that time, we gathered in the lobby and I took everyone to see the incubation base."
"The time is... Huh?"
Qiu Hong raised his wrist subconsciously. I wanted to check the current time, but I found that the mechanical watch that was working fine just now was no longer running.
He was a little confused. He had worn this watch for several years without any major problems, and it had just been wound up some time ago.
Why are you walking so well and then suddenly stopping?
Tang Yishu looked up at the sky with some embarrassment, pretending that nothing had happened.
……
At noon, independent game incubation base.
Wu Zhicheng was eating in the rest area with several new independent game producers.
“Look, let me just say that the fried tomatoes and eggs from Moyu takeout are very delicious, right? It’s different from what’s cooked in restaurants outside? The dishes from Moyu takeout are absolutely healthy.”
p>"...Huh? Work plan? Don't worry about that. It's not a deadline that must be completed. It can be adjusted. If you think there is any new content to be added, you can always find it.Xi Hao. "
"...Don't be afraid of him. Don't regard Xi Hao as your boss or manager. He is just the boss of the service department. He will not interfere with the project matters and will only follow your instructions. It’s just a matter of planning the work plan based on your ideas. The specific implementation of the project still depends on you. ”
“Come on, eat more food.” ”
Wu Zhicheng is like an old-timer, showing meticulous care for the new independent game producers, although he has only been here for less than a month.
Originally, Wu Zhicheng thought that he would be very uncomfortable with this kind of collective work, but after he came here, he realized that was not the case at all.
After coming here, the development of "Ink Clouds and Smoke" began! The progress can be described as rapid progress.
Wu Zhicheng also thought deeply about the difference.
Looking back now, he felt that he was very efficient at playing games at home. , It’s completely an illusion.
Because when working at home, I am often distracted by trivial matters, such as how to deal with the art resources of a certain part of the game, and suddenly discovering the entire big framework when halfway through a certain level. What to do if the plan is not clear and must be overturned and restarted?
Similar situations often occur because Wu Zhicheng’s planning for the entire project is not detailed and comprehensive enough, and these trivial matters do distract energy.
But after coming to this incubation base, other people are responsible for all these small things. Wu Zhicheng only needs to think carefully about creativity and design, and his efficiency has naturally improved a lot.
Many independent game producers are unable to get ahead because of this problem.
The technical industry has specializations, even within planning, designing gameplay, adjusting values, providing art requirements, planning development progress, etc. , the nature is completely different, and it is difficult for someone to be fully proficient in it.
Once you are not good at a certain part, you will have to spend a lot of energy to make up for this shortcoming.
But now with the help of the incubation base, independent game producers like Wu Zhicheng only need to be responsible for creativity and game design, and professionals will help with other tasks. Under such a detailed division of labor, the efficiency is naturally greatly improved. Improved.
Originally, Wu Zhicheng had a little bit of social anxiety and was a little worried about whether he would encounter problems in the workplace, but after getting along with him for a long time, he found that his worries were completely unfounded!
p>As the head of the administrative department, Xi Hao is very clear about the positioning of his department: this is just a service department.
So, there is no question of who manages whom, so naturally there is no problem. There are twists and turns in the workplace.
On the contrary, these independent game producers have been screened by Qiu Hong. They have high and low abilities, but their personalities are relatively simple, so there are not so many. They are naturally close to each other because of their intrigues.
Wu Zhicheng realized that in fact, there are very few people in this world who are truly autistic and helpless.For people who want to communicate with others, many people seem to be autistic and socially anxious on the surface, just because they are in a circle that is not suitable for them.
Now Wu Zhicheng is in a circle that suits him very well, so he is happy every day and has a much more cheerful personality.
While everyone was having lunch talking and laughing, Xi Hao came over from outside.
"Mr. Qiu may bring someone over this afternoon to have a look. It will be considered an inspection. Let me tell everyone in advance." Xi Hao said.
Wu Zhicheng was stunned for a moment: "Is there anything that needs to be prepared in advance?"
Although Wu Zhicheng has little formal work experience in the company, leaders inspecting this kind of Things have been seen before. Generally, you have to prepare in advance to leave a good impression on the leader.
To be honest, Wu Zhicheng has always been curious about who the boss behind the incubation base is, but he has never gotten a definite answer.
On the surface, Qiu Hong is in charge of everything, but there are rumors that Qiu Hong is not the real boss, and there is someone else behind the entire Endless Plan.
I wonder if the person who came to inspect this time is the real boss?
Xi Hao shook his head: "There is no need to prepare anything in advance, we can just show the truest side."
"We strictly follow Mr. Qiu's requirements, eight Although the working hours are not very long under the hourly working system, everyone works very seriously and is in full swing. In fact, the working status is higher than the 996 hours in many companies."
"I think everyone just needs to carry on as usual. It should be enough to show this serious and responsible working status.”
