"Boss, add some meat to the ramen, and add a fried egg to the egg fried rice! Give me another side dish, just cucumbers!"
Pei Qian spared no expense in rewarding Ma Yang.
Ma Yang happily ate the meaty ramen: "Okay, Brother Qian, you are no longer pretending, are you starting to show your rich second-generation style? But...the money is enough to order two side dishes at the restaurant next door...
…”
Pei Qian waved his hand: "Hey, no, no, the restaurant next door is not expensive, but you can't get enough."
"To be honest, in order to celebrate the successful start of the project, I should have eaten something better. But now I have to save all my money to make games, and my money is relatively tight."
In fact, the personal assets converted were too small, only 700 yuan, and I couldn't bear to spend them lavishly.
Ma Yang nodded while eating ramen: "I understand, I understand! This is what we should do. We are still in the stage of hard work and we cannot waste money."
Pei Qian said: "When this game is finished, I will take you to a barbecue buffet for fifty yuan per person!"
Ma Yang nodded fiercely: "Okay, okay!"
The buffets at this time were generally priced at more than 30 yuan. Pei Qian was going to eat a buffet that cost 50 yuan, which was already considered quite high-end.
Of course, the buffet in ten years' time will cost one or two hundred per person, which is incomparable.
What Pei Qian was thinking was, if all these 300,000 yuan were lost and turned into personal assets, what good food would he not be able to eat?
"By the way, there's also the matter of the contract." Pei Qian was eating fried rice with eggs, "I'll make a template later. Let's sign an internship contract directly, and the salary will be 3,000 per month."
Ma Yang hurriedly said: "Brother Qian, you are too polite. It doesn't really matter whether the money is money or not, and there is no need for a contract, right?"
Pei Qian shook his head: "That won't work. If you work hard for me, you won't get a penny less. We are serious entrepreneurs and we have to follow formal procedures. There must be a contract."
"Okay, then I'll let you arrange it." Ma Yang didn't insist anymore. Who wouldn't want the money?
I just feel that 3,000 is a bit too much, I’m very sorry.
In fact, Pei Qian wanted to give more, but the system did not allow it!
The system stipulates that Pei Qian cannot hire employees with a salary that clearly exceeds the reasonable level. After trial and error, Pei Qian determined that this "reasonable level" should not exceed twice the reasonable salary.
Take Ma Yang as an example.
He now works as a part-time job in a serious game company. According to the current basic salary of an intern, it is 1,500.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some companies are more generous, with interns doing more work and receiving higher wages.
But we must also consider that Ma Yang’s work ability is at most a burden to the company...
Therefore, Pei Qian gave him a one-month internship salary of 3,000, which is the highest salary allowed by the system.
While eating ramen, Ma Yang suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Hey! Brother Qian, a good idea suddenly occurred to me! What do you think, we make all the generals of the Three Kingdoms female? Isn't this subversive enough?"
Pei Qian almost spit out his fried rice with a mouthful.
"no!"
Pei Qian flatly refused.
Ma Yang was a little confused: "Why can't it work? Didn't you say you want to subvert it?"
Pei Qian was speechless.
Why not?
Of course, it's because it's really possible to succeed...
In fact, the idea of changing the gender of military generals of the Three Kingdoms has been tried in animation works for a long time, and it was quite successful.
Although this was 2009, and two-dimensional games were not that popular yet, at least there was this trend. Many mobile card games were deliberately made into Q versions, which objectively catered to this trend.
What if this game arouses the love of otakus and becomes popular because of this point?!
Pei Qian will never allow this to happen.
Of course, this is Pei Qian's true thoughts and cannot be told to Ma Yang.
He coughed twice and explained: "This idea is not feasible, it is equivalent to making the character lose its characteristics!"
"For example, Ma Chao is also a woman, Zhao Yun is also a woman, Gongsun Zan is also a woman... they all become women, and their characteristics are not obvious."
"Your current plan is very good. Ma Chao is a centaur and Guan Yu is a dragon. This is very recognizable!"
"So I think your current plan is better."
Ma Yang suddenly understood and nodded: "Oh, so that's what it is like, I understand."
Pei Qian let out a sigh of relief. It seems that recruiting employees is not necessarily a good thing.
Although he can get a little more salary, Pei Qian's decision may also cause confusion and doubt among employees. At this time, Pei Qian has to give a reasonable explanation.
Otherwise, if employees really suspect that Pei Qian is deliberately causing losses for the company and then become suspicious, this is also prohibited by the system.
"Fortunately, Ma Yang is not very smart."
"If we recruit people again in the future, we will have to recruit more people with such weak brains."
Pei Qian said silently in his heart.
…
After dinner, I strolled back to the dormitory.
Ma Yang continued to climb to the upper bunk full of energy, open up his imagination, and fill out the art request form.
Pei Qian turned on his computer, entered the resource site, and found that the previous message had been replied to.
Ruan Guangjian: "How many do you need? What are the specific requirements?"
Pei Qian briefly mentioned his needs, including the number of cards, general style, etc.
Of course, the specific demand list has not been released yet, so Pei Qian can only briefly describe it verbally.
"Art style, no Q version, anything else is optional."
"There are 50 characters in total, and each character has a set of four original paintings, a total of 200 pictures."
"The demand list is still being prepared and will be given to you later."
Three minutes passed and there was still no reply.
Ruan Guangjian was probably also confused.
My representative works are all Q version, but the first thing you said to me was "I don't want Q version"???
After some time, Ruan Guangjian replied.
"Okay. The price is 2,000 for a set, okay? I know this price may be a little expensive for a new artist, but don't worry, my ability is definitely top-notch, but I'm still in school, so I don't have a good representative.
work."
2000 for a set? Doesn’t that mean 500 for one piece?!
Pei Qian was not happy at the time. The price was too low!
Then I won’t be able to spend all my money?!
The original psychological price was 3,000 per set, but now it has shrunk to 2,000 per set.
There are 50 characters in total, which costs 50,000 yuan less?
No, absolutely not!
"I think this price is inappropriate." Pei Qian replied.
Ruan Guangjian: "How much do you think is appropriate? This is almost my bottom line."
Pei Qian: "Our situation here is somewhat special."
"Because what we are going to do this time is a style that no one else has done before, that is, a very subversive image, so the difficulty is relatively high, you understand?"
"Moreover, the designers here don't know much about art, and the requirements they provide are relatively vague."
"So, you need to use your brain more and design it."
"Considering the extra workload in this area, 2,000 yuan a set is too unfair to you. I think 3,000 yuan a set is more appropriate!"
"This includes the image design of the original painting and subsequent modifications. I also hope you can paint it more carefully. How about it?"
Ruan Guangjian fell into silence again.
Obviously, it seems that there are not many customers like Pei Qian who do reverse bargaining...
A set of original paintings cost an extra 1,000 yuan!
However, Pei Qian's behavior was not illegal and the system did not issue a warning.
Because Pei Qian's reasons are reasonable, the extra money includes the additional design costs due to unclear needs, the cost of improving the quality of the original painting, and the cost of subsequent modifications.
Ruan Guangjian took a few minutes to reply: "Yes, there are 50 sets in total, 200 original paintings, 150,000, and you can have 20 major repairs and 50 minor changes."
Pei Qian smiled slightly.
I can indeed spend money to purchase the number of modifications, but I can also choose not to use it!
Anyway, it’s better to draw it if you don’t like it.
The two people immediately made a decision and prepared to sign an electronic agreement on the resource station.
Pei Qian thought of something: "How many original paintings can you produce in three weeks? Let me change the specific number in the agreement."
The system stipulates that Pei Qian must not have unreleased products on hand one week before settlement.
Therefore, Pei Qian's game had to be put on the shelves one week before settlement, leaving only three weeks for Ruan Guangjian.
Ruan Guangjian: "I can't produce 200 pictures. However, I can assign these tasks to the classmates in the same dormitory. Don't worry, with my supervision, the quality of their original paintings is guaranteed, and I can also help you unify the style."
Pei Qian was very happy: "Okay! Then I'll leave it all to you!"
Ruan Guangjian is still in school. He can reach the original painting level required by the resource station, but his classmates may not be able to!
This can be regarded as taking advantage of a small loophole, spending money, and objectively reducing the quality of the original painting.
