When Zhang Shuo arrived at the company, everyone was present.
Operations manager Liu Xiaohui stopped him at the door and deliberately lowered his voice: "Mr. Zhang, I received seven resignation letters this morning. What do you think we should do?"
good guy,
There are only 30 people in Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, and a quarter of them have to resign.
"Approval it all, let the finance department settle the wages today."
Zhang Shuo didn't try to persuade him to stay. He deliberately cooled it down for two days just to make a selection.
Even after he made a commitment to inject capital and made it clear that he wanted to develop new games, those who still insist on resigning have either found a better job.
Or he just doesn't have confidence in Zhang Shuo.
No matter what the situation is, there is no need to stay, everyone can get together and part ways.
"cough,"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Liu Xiaohui's face: "The finance team leader also wants to resign."
In Jade Bird Mutual Entertainment,
Human resources and finance are the two departments with the lowest presence.
After all, there are still two people in the personnel team, and the finance team is headed by a polished commander. When he leaves, there will be no one left.
"fine!"
Zhang Shuo picked up his cell phone and called Chen Xiaowan: "Xiao Chen, where are you? I've already arrived at the company."
"Mr. Zhang, I'm downstairs."
Chen Xiaowan arrived an hour ago and is waiting to be summoned at the Starbucks downstairs.
"Come up!"
"Okay, I'll be there soon!"
In less than five minutes, Chen Xiaowan arrived panting, holding a cup of Starbucks coffee in her hand. She handed it to Zhang Shuo like a treasure, "Mr. Zhang, I bought this for you."
After having sex with Mr. Zhang once, Chen Xiaowan felt closer and began to regard herself as a follower.
"Very good."
Zhang Shuo took it with a smile. In fact, he didn't like drinking coffee very much.
Liu Xiaohui: "????"
"Let me introduce, this is Chen Xiaowan, the new head of the finance team." Zhang Shuo appointed him on the spot.
Chen Xiaowan: "\\(^o^)/"
happy!!
As expected, Mr. Zhang really valued her and became the leader when she first arrived.
"Hello, Team Leader Chen, I am Liu Xiaohui, the company's operations manager." Liu Xiaohui is indeed an operation manager and has a very discerning eye. "Come on, I will take you to handle the onboarding and handover."
Liu Xiaohui was actually not at peace inside.
He originally thought that Zhang Shuo's acquisition of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment was just for fun, but he didn't expect that on the first day he took office, he placed close associates in the company.
It seems that the picture is not small.
"Manager Liu, who are the people in the finance team?" Chen Xiaowan was full of expectations.
"The former team leader just resigned, and now you are the only one in the finance team."
Chen Xiaowan: "..."
so,
After all, it was paid in error.
Right?
But when I signed the labor contract and saw "5,000" written in the salary column, I felt happy again.
So delicious!
In her original company, her salary was only a measly 3,000 yuan. She paid the rent, water and electricity, and had to ask her mother for money to buy cosmetics every month.
"It's done, it's done."
Chen Xiaowan suddenly felt as satisfied as a rich young woman.
After completing the handover, I was very motivated and handled the salary settlement with the resigning employees quickly.
…………
the other side,
Zhang Shuo has called a meeting with team leaders to discuss new game planning.
Among the six groups of planning, art, programming, operations, human resources, and finance, human resources and finance are not involved in game production. The planning team leader has also resigned. The programming team leader Zhou Pengfei is an old acquaintance.
The operations team leader has always been concurrently held by Liu Xiaohui.
The only person we collaborated with for the first time was Qi Yu, the leader of the art team, who was actually no stranger.
The company does not have a separate conference room. There is only a ping-pong table in the corner, but no one has ever used it to play ball. It is usually filled with debris and is temporarily cleared out when meetings are held.
It's really a bit shabby.
Zhang Shuo made three copies of the planning plan and sent them to the three of them, "Let's all take a look first."
"good!"
Zhou Pengfei was the first to take over, whether the planned plan would work or not would depend on whether he wanted to stay or not.
Liu Xiaohui and Qi Yu also had similar thoughts.
The planning plan is very simple, only five pages, and I read it quickly.
"How is it?" Zhang Shuo asked with a smile.
“The creativity is amazing!”
Liu Xiaohui was the first to answer, "It has the same purpose as "Fruit Ninja" and should be popular."
Qi Yu: “In terms of art, it’s not difficult to do this.”
"How the back-end program controls gravity and elasticity will be a difficult point." Zhou Pengfei's eyes were venomous. "I suggest that it is best to use a physics engine for development."
"Then this project will be considered passed?" Zhang Shuo was very democratic.
"pass!"
The attitudes of the three people are surprisingly consistent, and the boss must give them face.
Moreover, it is a small project, unlike "The Drunken Man" which is all-or-nothing. Even if the market does not approve of it, there is still a chance to start over.
Liu Xiaohui and Zhou Pengfei both approved of Zhang Shuo's cautious first step.
Very sophisticated.
"Well, even if the "Synthetic Watermelon" project is officially launched, I will be the project leader and chief planner, and the construction period will be 15 days."
A super simple game like this can actually be finished in three or four days.
It can be done in a week at most.
Zhang Shuo extended the construction period because he planned to strive for greater excellence in both the interface and the art based on the original work.
Let’s take “Fruit Ninja” as the benchmark.
At the same time, in order to extend the life of "Synthetic Watermelon", he also designed more gameplay methods based on various magical modifications, such as reverse synthesis of small grapes, easy synthesis of large pineapples, synthesis of large coconuts, etc.
"Take the path of piracy and leave piracy with nowhere to go."
The key is,
Zhang Shuo designed the krypton gold system, otherwise how would he make money?
Does love generate electricity?
The original work of "Synthetic Watermelon" relied on advertising to make money, and there was also a farce of money fraud. Now the mobile game market environment is completely different, and supply exceeds demand. Zhang Shuo is certainly not satisfied.
When it comes to how to make money, of course we cannot avoid Tengda, the originator of the industry.
Just gather Tengda’s wool.
The core krypton gold prop is "energy", which automatically generates 1 point of energy every hour.
1 point of energy can only play 1 game.
Players who want to gain more energy can either play level-breaking mini-games such as "Fruit Slicing, Fruit Crush, Fruit Bomb" or directly spend money to purchase "Energy Potions".
It takes into account the needs of "high-end players" and "gold players" very well.
In the level-breaking mini-game,
Of course, Zhang Shuo did not forget to include the source of the gameplay of "Synthetic Watermelon" - "2048". This is a small game with over 10 million downloads and has its own traffic.
All kinds of blessings are basically done.
After all, this is 2010, and this is not yet an era when mobile games are rampant.
The division of labor is completed,
The programming team and art team have the heaviest tasks.
After Zhou Pengfei and Qi Yu finished their meeting, they went back to meet with their respective team members to break down the tasks according to the construction period and formulate a detailed work plan.
Liu Xiaohui stayed and asked for instructions: "Mr. Zhang, does the company want to recruit new people?"
"Hi,"
Zhang Shuo nodded, "It's graduation season now, so we should recruit more fresh graduates."
"clear."
Liu Xiaohui understood this and asked, "Leader of the planning team, do you want to recruit someone new?"
"I will be in charge of the planning team for the time being. I'd rather be absent than wasteful." Zhang Shuo was actually planning to get acquainted with the members of the planning team and see if he could promote someone from within.
You can rely on him as a confidant.
"Oh, by the way," Zhang Shuo suddenly remembered something, "My labor contract also needs to be changed. The general manager's salary will be paid at the standard of 10,000 yuan per month."
To pluck out your own wool, you must be decisive.
How else can I make pocket money?
"Okay, I'll draft a new contract later." Liu Xiaohui looked strange.
The company is all yours,
Does it make sense to pay yourself a salary?
"The most important thing is," Zhang Shuo glanced at the cramped office area, "Look at Feige Building Property to see if there is any free office area for rent."
The current office area of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has a construction area of 95 square meters, with an average of three square meters per person.
It is already close to the red line of 2.5 square meters.
There are no separate offices or conference rooms, which makes it very informal.
"How much area does Mr. Zhang plan to rent?"
"It should be at least 500 meters."
Decorating an office cannot be completed in three or two days, so Zhang Shuo simply took into account the office needs for the next year to avoid having to find a new place later.
"I understand!" Liu Xiaohui praised in his heart.
As expected of the new boss, he is very impressive.
The monthly rent of Feige Building is 180 yuan per square meter. Based on 500 square meters, the monthly rent is as high as 90,000 yuan.
So bold!
I really couldn't blame Huang Kun for being stingy before, I could only say that the rent in Pengcheng was too expensive.
"Well, Mr. Zhang, do you want to change your current work station to Mr. Huang?" Liu Xiaohui probably also noticed that the new boss has quite high requirements for the office environment.
But with the current conditions of the company, there is really nothing we can do.
"Forget it, don't bother with it."
Huang Kun's workstation is mixed with the planning team to facilitate the supervision of planning team employees.
Zhang Shuo had no such intention.
If employees really want to make money at work, there are many ways, such as the legendary squatting in the toilet.
Zhang Shuo didn't plan to hang out with the programming team anymore, so as not to embarrass Zhou Pengfei and Wang Cong. He planned to buy a laptop and use the conference area as an office for the time being.
