Chapter 416 This question already has the correct answer!
"No!" Pei Qian refused firmly.
Li Yada was a little anxious: "But..."
Pei Qian didn't wait for her to finish, but immediately interrupted: "No need to say any more, this is a matter of principle and cannot be compromised."
"The work progress can never be completed. Even if I approve you to go to work one week early, will gog surpass ioi in this week?"
Li Yada was at a loss for words for a moment: "It's true that we can't do it in a week, but..."
Pei Qian immediately took over the conversation: "That's the truth. Today I approved you to work a week earlier without exceeding ioi, so will you have to apply for weekend overtime next?"
"If I worked overtime this week and still did not exceed ioi, do I have to continue working overtime next week?"
"You should understand the principle of guarding against the slightest change."
"If this continues, where will you put Tengda's rules and regulations?"
Li Yada: "Uh..."
Pei Qian said earnestly: "So, since working two more days will not have a decisive effect, then don't work overtime. Meaningless overtime is a waste of everyone's time and my overtime pay. Why bother?"
Li Yada couldn't think of a good way to refute for a moment, but she always felt that the more she studied it carefully, the more something was wrong.
"But Mr. Pei, ioi has been launching new versions now, and its current expansion momentum in Europe and the United States is very strong. Our gog and ioi are directly competing products. If you fall behind, you will fall behind every step."
"At this critical moment, if you are negligent, the consequences may be disastrous!"
Li Yada's tone was very anxious.
Obviously, she has been paying attention to ioi's situation during the holiday. She can't sit still when she sees that the quality of ioi's games has improved rapidly and visibly.
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, sometimes it's not a good thing for employees to have too strong a sense of responsibility!
Since gog was already destined to fail from the beginning, why bother with it anymore?
I worked overtime and rushed to meet the schedule, but in the end I failed and wasted my emotions.
It's better to just do it casually from the beginning, spend the money and be done with it.
Pei Qian coughed twice and said, "I understand how you feel. However, a matter of principle is a matter of principle and cannot be compromised easily."
"Yada, I think there's something wrong with your mentality."
“It’s common to encounter problems at work, and your first reaction is to work overtime to solve them?”
"Overtime is not a panacea that can cure all diseases. On the contrary, it is a poison that quenches thirst!"
"If you use it once, you will become dependent and get deeper and deeper; if you use it too much, all your other skills will degrade, and you will lose all other skills except 'overtime'."
"Which is more important, you have to think clearly."
"Remember, the important thing is not to work overtime, but to do the right thing at the right time."
"Thinking clearly about what is the right thing is far more important than simply working hard."
On the other end of the phone, Li Yada was silent.
After a long time, her anxious mood calmed down.
"Mr. Pei, your words are shocking. I have indeed fallen into a misunderstanding."
"When I encounter a problem at work, I really can't solve it by working overtime. On the contrary, I should try to solve it by other means except working overtime."
"If I only ask employees to work overtime, it would indeed be a dereliction of duty on my part as the person in charge!"
"Thank you, Mr. Pei, I understand! Happy New Year to Mr. Pei!"
Pei Qian listened silently: "Well, Happy New Year."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh. He was indeed his own employee. His ability to draw inferences from one example was quite strong, and he could use small words one after another.
After a little guidance, I completely gave up the idea of working overtime.
Well, not bad!
"Zhitou company, please give me some strength. Try to work harder during the Spring Festival and just knock Gog down..."
Pei Qian prayed silently.
…
…
February 10th, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Officially going to work.
School hasn't started yet, and Pei Qian still returned to Jingzhou the afternoon before.
His parents knew that Pei Qian was making money at Feihuang Studio, and a new movie was about to be released soon, so he was busy with work, so they didn't keep him around.
I just repeatedly remind you to pay attention to your health when working and never overdraft your health.
Pei Qian silently thought to himself that overdrafting his health would definitely not be a problem.
His job is quite healthy. He sleeps until he wakes up naturally every day. At work, he just fishes and drinks tea. Occasionally, he goes to Mingyun Private Kitchen to eat something good.
Everything is quite comfortable, of course, it would be better if our own employees don't always backstab.
…
Floor 17, Tenda Game Department.
Cui Geng has continued to collect materials from Bao Xu.
The study class on the Dingmin Chinese website has also resumed today. Although Cui Geng is still a member of the class, he already has a formal position in Tengda, that is, a "special observer", so he no longer needs to be locked up in "Xiaohei"
"house".
Everyone else in the game department has quickly entered work mode and is engrossed in typing on the keyboard, even taking a sip of water.
No way, the workload is heavy!
During the Spring Festival, many people, like Li Yada, are always paying attention to the trends of ioi. After seeing the updated version of the game, they can't wait to go back to work immediately.
As a result, after talking to Li Yada, I realized that she had been criticized and educated by Mr. Pei and could only wait patiently for the vacation to end.
So on my first day at work, I couldn’t wait to start modifying the game.
Most people in the Tenda Game Department are holding their breath.
We, Tengda Games, have always been a sharp-edged force capable of fighting tough battles! Under the leadership of Mr. Pei, we strive to create one popular game after another. Such a golden brand cannot fall into our hands, right?
If gog loses to ioi, he can't afford to lose that person!
Everyone started working hard.
Years ago, Li Yada had handed over the "future affairs" to the three ministers who took care of life, and arranged their respective tasks for them.
However, these three are newcomers after all, and they need a certain amount of time to become familiar with and hand over to each other.
From now to the end of the month, Li Yada, while ensuring the progress of research and development, must also transfer the work to the three of them as much as possible to ensure a smooth handover.
After explaining to Hu Xianbin the recent work tasks of executing the chief strategy, Li Yada took a moment to relax, drinking coffee and thinking about the current situation.
Every time she couldn't help but feel anxious, she would constantly think back to what Mr. Pei said at that time, because she firmly believed that the way to success lies within it!
"Mr. Pei said that the important thing is not to work overtime, but to do the right thing at the right time..."
"So, what is the right thing to do?"
"Research and development seriously? This is just a matter of duty. It is the safest approach, and it cannot be said to be 'correct'."
Li Yada thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
She instinctively wanted to ask Bao Xu for advice. After all, Bao Xu had his own way of interpreting Mr. Pei's ideas.
However, Bao Xu was telling Cui Geng about Tengda's past to provide material for Cui Geng's new book, and Li Yada was too embarrassed to interrupt.
Since you can’t ask Bao Xu, who should you ask?
Ask Huang Sibo? It's not impossible, but Li Yada knows that Feihuang Studio is preparing a new movie recently. Huang Sibo probably has been extremely busy recently and doesn't have much time.
After much deliberation, let’s ask Lin Wan!
Lin Wan also has a good way of interpreting President Pei's thoughts.
Li Yada sent a message to Lin Wan about her confusion, and asked by the way: "What does Mr. Pei mean by doing the right thing at the right time?"
Not long after, Lin Wan replied.
"You asked the right person! I have a standard answer to this question!"
"Mr. Pei once said something similar to me!"
Li Yada became interested as soon as she heard it and quickly made a call.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?" Li Yada seemed to catch a glimmer of light in an instant.
On the phone, Lin Wan smiled and said confidently: "Do you still remember what happened when we at Yangyang Games were working on the "Enhanced Edition of Hot-Blooded War Song"?"
"The game has been losing money since the micro client was launched, so I asked Mr. Pei what should be done."
"Mr. Pei said that you have to wait quietly for the good fortune. When the good fortune arrives, everything will be fine."
"Look carefully, are there any similarities between this sentence and the sentence he said to you? Do they both emphasize the 'right time'?"
Li Yada suddenly realized: "Oh! You mean..."
Lin Wan smiled: "Yes, Mr. Pei has made it clear that working overtime is meaningless. No matter how hard you work, you will get half the result with twice the result."
"The implication is that there are ways to solve problems without working overtime!"
"If I were yours, I would not continue to fight with ioi in the PC game field, because no matter whether we win or lose, we will definitely be nothing."
"I will change to another field, beat it first, and then kill another one to get back!"
Li Yada's eyes lit up, and many confusions were instantly solved!
Regarding what is the "right time", Lin Wan had already found the correct answer when he was working on "War Hymn".
The upcoming wave of mobile games is the right time!
It was because of Lin Wan's understanding of this that he changed the half-dead "War Hymn" micro client into a mobile game, and got on the fast track of Shenhua's mobile application market, so he was able to soar into the sky and make a beautiful turnaround!
If you apply this standard answer...
The goal is to transform gog into a game that can be used on both mobile phones and PCs!
Mr. Pei also said that ioi started very early, and it is not just a little bit ahead of gog.
This kind of gap cannot be made up by everyone in Tenda's game department working hard overtime.
Therefore, Mr. Pei does not let everyone work overtime just to prevent everyone from doing useless work and wasting too much energy. Instead, he hopes that everyone can invest their limited energy into more meaningful things.
What if gog is changed to a mobile game?
Then overtaking on a curve can be achieved directly!
At present, there is no similar game in the field of mobile games. If Gog is transplanted, even if the gameplay is not that rich, as long as it can run stably, it will naturally be able to kill everyone.
After Gog quickly takes over the undoubted dominance in the mobile game field, it will naturally affect the PC field in turn.
Just imagine, if a player has already played gog on a mobile phone, and it is his first time to play a similar game on a PC, will he choose to play gog on a mobile phone, which has many heroes and various skins, or all heroes?
I don’t know, how about ioi, which starts everything from scratch?
The current consensus in the game industry is to change successful PC games into web games, and change successful web games into mobile games. In this way, they will sink one level at a time, and changing platforms will give old games a second life.
This is the mindset.
However, this is not so absolute.
If there has not been a dominant Big Mac game on both PC and mobile, who says it can’t be released on mobile first and then on PC?
