Chapter 490 Crowdfunding to make games(1/2)
Monday, April 18th.
Jin Yiwei's affairs have been handed over to Xiao Tang, and she doesn't know what kind of people she will find.
Tengda now has many departments. Even if each department is to place a supervisor, it would require more than a dozen people, and it is impossible to get them together in a hurry.
Pei Qian's request to Tang Yishu was to find everyone before next Saturday.
Waiting for Saturday, I secretly held a small meeting while no one was in the company to arrange the work. Thinking about it, I still felt a little confused.
Pei Qian still slept until he woke up naturally today. After eating, he came to the company to walk around and express his feelings.
However, before I could open the Elly Island website to catch up on the drama, I heard a knock on the door from outside.
"Um?"
Pei Qian couldn't help but frown, why are you so anxious?
Not two minutes after he entered the office, there was a knock on the door from outside. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Please come in."
Outside the door, Hu Xianbin pushed the door open and entered.
"What's wrong? Are there any problems with the development of "Struggle"?" Pei Qian couldn't help but have some small expectations in his heart.
Hu Xianbin shook his head: "No, the development of "Struggle" has been going smoothly so far. It's gog's business!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
On the one hand, it is because the development of "Struggle" is going smoothly, and on the other hand, Hu Xianbin is still worried about gog, which is very inconsistent with the spirit of Tenda.
Pei Qian coughed twice and said, "Don't worry about talking about gog yet."
"There are some problems with your working ideas."
"Human energy is limited, and you can only do the same thing at the same time. How can you manage both the research and development of "Struggle" and the operation of Gog?"
"Hurry up and let go of the operational work of gog."
After all, Hu Xianbin was also a developer for the second half of gog. He was responsible for the launch of the mobile game version and the client game version, and he knew the gog project very well.
Pei Qian asked Hu Xianbin to be responsible for the research and development of the "Struggle" project just to get him to stop caring about gog, but in the end he actually wanted to do both jobs at the same time, which was really too much.
Hu Xianbin was stunned for a moment: "Uh, okay Mr. Pei, I will hand over the work to Min Jingchao when I get back."
"But... regarding the gog project, I do have something very important to report!"
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, you say."
Hu Xianbin seemed very urgent: "Mr. Pei, I hope to make an exception and urgently recruit more people for Tenda Game Department!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but frown.
Make an exception?
Recruiting more people?
Little brother, this is a very dangerous idea!
Nowadays, all departments and positions in Tenda are recruited uniformly, only twice a year, in May and November.
The main reason for setting this time is to avoid the peak recruitment season.
Since the recruitment steps are relatively cumbersome and sufficient time is left for new employees to go through the resignation procedures and hand over work, the actual time to join the company will be one month later.
But Pei Qian looked at the date and saw that today is already April 18th. Is there anything urgent about gog that can't even wait for more than a month?
There must be something wrong here!
Pei Qian attaches great importance to it in his heart, but on the surface he still asks calmly: "Why are you so anxious to recruit people?"
Hu Xianbin said: "Mr. Pei, because ioi is going to engage in an 'arms race' with us, the gog project is in urgent need of manpower expansion! Otherwise, our initial advantage will be lost!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy.
Although I don’t understand what “arms race” specifically refers to, one thing is clear: Lin Wan is taking action!
During this time, the preparations for the ioi national server should have been almost complete, and a series of publicity strategies should have been formulated to prepare to start grabbing the gog market.
I don’t know from what channel Hu Xianbin got the news.
However, considering that Tenda Games and Shanyang Games are brother departments, it is not surprising to get the news from any source.
In line with the mentality of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, Pei Qian smiled and said, "Really? Let's talk about it in detail."
Hu Xianbin hurriedly said: "ioi's strategy is to update desperately and win with quantity. According to the current plan, two new heroes will be updated in one month, which is too fast!"
"The number of heroes in gog is slightly less than that in ioi, but it is still within the acceptable range."
"Once ioi updates new heroes at such a speed, and we still slowly update a new hero in two months, we will definitely be left behind soon. By then, gog's first-mover advantage will be gone.
!”
Pei Qian nodded frequently after hearing this.
Yes, Zhidou Company and Lin Wan are both reliable!
Sure enough, the script developed as I imagined, and I really left no stone unturned.
Pei Qian's expression became more and more calm: "So, you want to recruit more people and compete with each other in speed?"
Hu Xianbin nodded: "Yes, there is no reason for us to lose to them in terms of speed! Whoever updates faster will be able to better maintain the stickiness of players and the popularity of the game. The advantage in this aspect is huge!"
"The current situation is that when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Gog must not give in!"
Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "I don't agree with you."
"It's definitely not possible to recruit people in advance. Even if it's next month's recruitment, I don't recommend that the game department recruit too many new people."
Hu Xianbin was stunned: "Why, why?"
Pei Qian leaned back on the boss's chair and said seriously: "The manpower is good but not too many."
"With more people, the speed will be faster and more ideas will come up. This seems to be a good thing."
"However, many people may be a treasure, or they may be a prison."
"Don't always think of stupid ways like crowd tactics when you encounter problems. It will lower the upper limit of your thinking and destroy your inspiration."
"In short, don't recruit too many people."
Hu Xianbin was a little anxious: "But Mr. Pei..."
Pei Qian emphasized again: "Don't recruit more people."
Hu Xianbin was speechless. He didn't dare to ask Mr. Pei to repeat it a third time. He could only sigh and silently exited the office.
Pei Qian showed a satisfied smile.
Lin Wan, I can only help you so far. You must complete the task as soon as possible!
…
Hu Xianbin returned upstairs dejectedly and sat down at his desk.
When Min Jingchao saw Hu Xianbin coming back, he immediately came over.
"How about it? Did Mr. Pei agree?"
Hu Xianbin shook his head: "No, Mr. Pei refused."
Min Jingchao was stunned: "Rejected? No way? Mr. Pei has always been generous with the company's expenses. Why is he not allowed to recruit a few new designers? This is a bit unscientific."
Hu Xianbin sighed: "Hey, I don't know what Mr. Pei thinks, but his attitude is indeed very firm, saying that not only can we not make exceptions for early recruitment now, but we can't recruit too many people in the recruitment one month later.
"
Min Jingchao frowned, confused: "How could Mr. Pei say such a thing for no reason? Did he say something else?"
"Generally speaking, there will be some hidden clues in Mr. Pei's words."
Hu Xianbin tried to remember: "Let me think about it..."
"He seemed to have said that crowds of people may be treasures, or they may be prisons."
"However, this sentence seems to have no profound meaning..."
"Why don't you ask Sister Li and Brother Bao for advice?"
