Chapter 328 The finalized gameplay has been overturned
Pei Qian flipped through the small book and found that things in the company were finally almost arranged.
Things are complicated, but basically everything has been arranged. The heads of various departments will definitely be busy in the next period of time, but Mr. Pei can have a little leisure time.
After leaning on the office chair and resting for a while, Pei Qian decided to search online to see if there was any suitable house.
It is now 2010, and housing prices are already on the rise, but in Pei Qian's eyes, this housing price is really not high.
The average house price in Imperial Capital and Magic City is only around 25,000, while the price of a house in the Imperial Capital’s school district is almost 38,000.
In the eyes of most people, this is already a sky-high price, but Pei Qian knows in his heart that this is really not high.
Jingzhou City is the provincial capital and has good conditions among second-tier cities. The average price is about 13,000 yuan.
The house prices in better places in the city center are around 15,000 or 16,000, but Pei Qian can't afford to buy a house in the city center.
Currently, high-speed rail stations are under construction across the country. By the middle of next year, a large number of high-speed rail stations will be completed and put into use.
Pei Qian plans to buy this house for his parents. At present, the social relationship between the two elders is mainly in a small county in the south of Jingzhou. It just so happens that Jingzhou's high-speed rail station, Jingzhou South Railway Station, is also in the south, not far from the small county.
Far.
Pei Qian thought about it and bought this house directly near Jingzhou South Station. It is not far from where his parents work and not far from his parents' former colleagues.
When the high-speed rail station opens, it will be more convenient to take the high-speed rail to other cities.
Moreover, according to established experience, the economy here at Jingzhou South Railway Station will definitely develop sooner or later, and supporting facilities will catch up sooner or later.
Moreover, the current housing prices have not risen yet.
Pei Qian took a look and found that the current properties near South Station were only around 11,000 or 12,000.
Based on this price, 1.8 million is enough to buy a house of more than 150 square meters in full.
For the two elders, it is definitely enough.
Pei Qian's main concern for a house is its residential properties.
Because the world has changed so much, Pei Qian cannot be 100% sure that the trend of housing prices will be the same as in memory.
It's not like Pei Qian hasn't thought about investing the 1.8 million in some areas that might make money, but the world has changed too much and is completely different from what he remembers.
If something unexpected happened and all his money was lost, who would Pei Qian go to for explanation? The system? That would probably be a disgrace to himself.
So, after thinking about it, it’s better not to deal with those trivial things, and it’s more practical to just collect the wool of the system honestly.
It's good to improve the basic life for yourself and your parents after you have collected the wool.
Pei Qian browsed the Internet for a long time and saved some information about new properties, but he didn't make a decision immediately.
He didn't bother Assistant Xin or other employees about this matter. After all, it was his own private matter and had nothing to do with the company's business.
It is quite shameful to ask employees to do your personal work for you.
Besides, Pei Qian himself is not that busy. He only works for three or four hours all day long. If he doesn't do this, he would at most be watching dramas.
It is more practical to buy a house by yourself or look after it yourself.
Pei Qian has no plans to buy a house for himself for the time being.
Mainly because he is still looking forward to finding ways to gain some benefits from the system.
As the company grows larger, the system allows Pei Qian to pay more and more benefits to employees.
For example, in the past, salary increases for employees had to come in waves, and various subsidies and compulsory reimbursements also had quota limits.
As Tengda's benefits become better and better and its scale becomes larger, the amount of various subsidies will gradually increase.
As early as June this year, Pei Qian had arranged a rental subsidy of 1,000 yuan for each employee. With a little extra money, the employees could rent a very good house in Jingzhou.
But Pei Qian definitely can't let it go.
As Tenda continues to develop, we will definitely be able to improve these benefits, and sooner or later we will be able to build employee dormitories.
Because many large companies have employee dormitories, this is not an excessive benefit.
Although it is not necessary for Tenda to build employee dormitories at present, what about another year and a half?
As soon as the system relents, Pei Qian will definitely correct him immediately.
At that time, all employees will be happily arranged.
Then Mr. Pei will keep the largest and most spacious room for himself, how nice it is.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian felt a little melancholy.
It is also unclear whether the employees are taking advantage of their own benefits or whether they are taking advantage of the employees' benefits.
Or maybe the employees and Mr. Pei are rubbing off against each other, creating a perpetual dynamic?
In short, there is no rush to buy a house for yourself.
Now Pei Qian lives in this two-bedroom apartment quite comfortably, and it is also very convenient for him to go to school, work, and fish and Internet cafes. This place is just for living, and there is no need to build a luxury house.
Just as Pei Qian was thinking about it, he received a message on his phone from Ye Zhizhou.
"Mr. Pei, we already have the general direction of the horror game. When will you have time to make a final decision?"
Pei Qian looked at his watch. It was a bit late today. It was almost five o'clock. It was time to get off work.
I was about to think about tomorrow, but then I saw that tomorrow is Saturday.
Pei Qian thought for a while and replied: "Monday morning."
…
During the two days on the weekend, Pei Qian took a good rest and healed his mind that was seriously injured by Lao Ma.
By the way, I went to look at the houses on my own, and found out that I fell in love with two or three communities near Jingzhou South Railway Station, but I still need to be more selective and study the geographical location, apartment type, whether the developer is reliable, and other details.
…
On Monday morning, Pei Qian came to Yangyang Game.
As soon as I walked in, I felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Why are the curtains closed in broad daylight?
The entire office area was pitch black, with only the dim light coming from the monitors. In front of the monitors, the heads of people wearing headphones remained motionless.
There is something indescribably weird about this scene.
Pei Qian almost thought that he had gone wrong and arrived at the site of a large mysterious ceremony.
As it happened, Hao Qiong's workstation was not far from the door. Pei Qian found that this somewhat naive young man was also staring at the screen attentively, with his shoulders slightly raised, and he carefully moved the waist of the handle.
Pei Qian patted his shoulder gently: "Um, Ye..."
He wanted to ask where Ye Zhizhou was.
However, before he finished asking, Hao Qiong suddenly jumped up from his seat.
"ah!!!"
"ah!!"
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
The office area suddenly erupted in howling ghosts and screams, centered on Hao Qiong and rippling far away.
Pei Qian was stunned.
I almost thought something had happened to my employees.
Soon, several curses were heard nearby.
"Damn, who is screaming again!"
"Didn't we agree that whoever barks is the dog?"
"Calm down, if you yell again, I won't be able to play anymore..."
Hao Qiong was also aggrieved: "Don't blame me. I was playing and someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder. I...ah? Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei is good!"
Everyone else also took off their headphones and looked over.
Pei Qian originally just thought it was a little weird, but now seeing this scene, he felt a chill running down his spine.
In the pitch-black room, dozens of display screens were on, emitting a faint blue light.
There is a black head in front of each monitor. Originally, these heads were looking at the screen, but when they heard the word "Mr. Pei", they all turned around...
It’s so permeable!
Pei Qian quickly fumbled to turn on the light next to him.
As soon as the lights came on, the weird atmosphere finally disappeared.
"What are you doing...drawing the curtains in broad daylight..." Pei Qian was speechless.
Hao Qiong realized that she had scared Mr. Pei, and was a little embarrassed. She quickly explained: "Sorry, Mr. Pei, Director Lin asked us to turn off the lights and play a horror game to feel better."
Pei Qian: "...There's no need to work so hard."
Hao Qiong scratched his head and smiled a little naively: "There is no way, none of us have experience in making horror games. Director Lin said that there is no room for failure in this mission, and we must do our best."
Pei Qian felt inexplicably sorry for these people.
Make a horror game and scare yourself out of it first.
Hao Qiong added: "Director Lin also said that we must learn from Mr. Pei the spirit of 'if you want to abuse others, abuse yourself first'. Mr. Pei insisted on completing "Return to the Shore" and set a good example for us!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Don't mention "Return to the Shore" again, I don't want to recall the experience of beating that thing at all!
Director Lin’s words were a complete misunderstanding of mine! They were all misunderstandings!
But when it comes to this, Pei Qian sympathizes with everyone even more.
"Thank you all for your hard work. This month, each person will receive an extra 1,000 yuan in mental damage compensation..."
Amid cheers of "Thank you, Mr. Pei," Pei Qian came to the conference room.
No projector was used, only a printed design brief.
Two weeks have passed since Pei Qian decided to let Yangyang Games make a horror game. For writing a brief, the time is already too much.
However, considering that none of the people at Yangyang Games have experience in making horror games, everyone must have spent most of the past two weeks playing horror games and looking for ideas. There should not be much time to actually write about gameplay and game plots.
The draft was very succinct, but after Pei Qian glanced at it, he found that the general direction was very correct.
If we follow this general direction, I won't dare to say it will be a big success, but it will be okay to make a small profit.
Mr. Pei is here to change this status quo.
Ye Zhizhou is obviously quite confident in this draft: "Mr. Pei, let me briefly talk about the current ideas!"
"First of all, we plan to make a stand-alone game with a certain plot."
"The main theme of the game is based on Eastern ghosts and monsters, because similar themes give people the best sense of horror."
"Finally, we considered not giving players any weapons. Only in this situation where they have no ability to resist can we maximize the fear of players."
Pei Qian fell into a brief silence.
These ideas sound a little too reliable.
There are even several relatively successful horror games that have appeared in Pei Qian's mind.
Although horror games are relatively niche, if they become too popular and go out of the industry, they will definitely make a lot of money.
In addition, a budget of 30 million has been invested in Yangyang Games this time. If this money is spent, the terrifying effect will definitely be huge.
You will definitely make money.
This won't work!
Pei Qian thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "It's too mediocre."
Lin Wan, who was listening quietly on the side, showed an "I knew it" expression.
How could Mr. Pei, such an innovative person, accept such a mediocre idea?
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin quickly took out pen and paper and prepared to record.
Pei Qian looked at the general directions on the draft and turned it around.
"What plot does a horror game need? There is no plot."
"There are too many stand-alone horror games, so we have to make online ones."
"What do you want about ghosts? We have to believe in science. There should be no ghosts in this game. At most, there will be madmen."
"Don't even have settings like mutated creatures and vengeful spirits."
"Weapon system..."
Having said this, Pei Qian hesitated.
This is really hard to do.
Without the weapon system, it might just be "Escape".
There is a weapon system, maybe it is "Resident Evil".
The former has a strong sense of horror and immersion; although the latter can easily be played as a speed-running or monster-killing game, it also has a large number of fans.
You can’t go wrong with either of these two approaches. If done well, you can both make money.
Then you can only choose the third way.
"Make a weapon system, but the types should be fewer and the power should be weak."
"The most powerful weapon is a small pistol."
"Okay, let's follow this general direction."
Pei Qian directly made a compromise, which feels a bit nondescript. There is a weapon system, but the weapon system is rubbish.
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin finished remembering and looked at each other.
Well, not a single thing that was finalized before is left, everything has been overturned...
