“Come to Yangcheng and come to our studio to visit and communicate???”
Zhou Muyan felt a little baffled.
Shente Game Company went to another game company to visit and communicate. I have never heard of such a thing before!
Those who visit major companies are usually college students who are doing social practice activities. They visit major companies under the organization of the school to prepare for their careers after graduation.
I have never heard of a game company organizing employees to visit another company!
At least I haven't heard of it in the country.
Because most domestic game companies want to create profits, traveling all the way to visit is a big loss!
Calculated based on a team of 20 to 30 people, round-trip air tickets, hotels, other expenses, plus lost time due to employees not working these days, etc., this is not a small amount.
What's more, raising troops and mobilizing a large number of people to travel such a long distance will not create any benefits, and will simply lose money.
It’s said to be exchange and learning, but actually it’s not possible to communicate at all?
Which game company is so sick...
Zhou Muyan instinctively wanted to refuse.
He is the producer of Tianhuo Studio and is quite famous in the industry.
Of course, strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a mixed blessing. Many people criticized Tianhuo Studio. Naturally, as a producer, he would inevitably be blamed.
Zhou Muyan is not his real name, but his nickname. Flower names are also a popular trend among some companies in the south, and the same is true for Tianhuo Studio.
Recently, Tianhuo Studio is developing an FPS online game. It has been in development for more than a year and is about to start internal testing.
With everyone working overtime, Zhou Muyan was too lazy to spare half a day to receive employees from a gaming company who came all the way from Handong Province.
"Mr. Zhou, this company has successful projects. "Ghost General" was developed by them. I suggest you take the time to meet them. If you don't have time, you can ask Brother Sun to receive them. Anyway, take them around the company.
It doesn't take much effort to go shopping," reminded the administrative girl who was talking to Xin Hailu on the phone.
"Did they make "Ghost General"?"
Zhou Muyan was stunned for a moment, and then felt that what the administrative girl said seemed to make sense.
As the saying goes, many friends lead to many paths.
Although we are friends in the same industry, it would be a bit unkind to reject someone from afar because they want to sit in your company and exchange experiences.
What's more, Zhou Muyan knows "Ghost General", which is a recently emerging mobile game, and the producer is probably not an ordinary person.
It would be nice to meet this kind of person and get to know him.
Anyway, it's nothing more than taking a day to meet and show them around the studio, and it won't delay any work.
Thinking of this, Zhou Muyan nodded: "Okay, then agree. Set the schedule in advance and I will personally receive you then."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou. One more thing. The list of newcomers eliminated at the end has been released. Please take a look."
Zhou Muyan took the list and glanced at it.
"Fire everyone except Lin Wan. Follow the rules."
"Okay." The administrative girl didn't ask any more questions, took the list and left.
The last-place elimination system is very popular among many game companies, especially those companies that recruit more students from school.
The same is true for Tianhuo Studio. Fresh graduates recruited will be evaluated within a few months of working, and the bottom 15% will be eliminated.
After these fresh graduates are eliminated, they will be in a very embarrassing situation.
On the one hand, they are no longer fresh graduates and have completely missed the school recruitment; on the other hand, they only have a few months of work experience and were eliminated by their previous company, so there is no advantage in recruiting them through social recruitment.
It can be said that Zhou Muyan's big wave of his hand put an extra stumbling block in the life path of this group of eliminated fresh graduates!
However, Zhou Muyan didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Although he knew that the person eliminated at the bottom would definitely greet him and his immediate family members in private, he didn't care.
In Zhou Muyan's view, the game industry originally follows the law of the jungle, natural selection, and survival of the fittest!
In this cruel environment, it is impossible to be humane.
Of course, there is an exception in this list: Lin Wan.
This is a girl. Like the others, she was recruited from a prestigious university in the imperial capital and has a very high academic qualification.
According to the scoring mechanism of the last place elimination system, she is also in the last 15% of the range to be eliminated.
Lin Wan made the same mistake as many young people, that is, being a little optimistic and naive.
For Zhou Muyan, gaming is a business.
But Lin Wan, like many young people, regards it as art or a dream, and in many cases is naturally incompatible with the scoring mechanism of the last-place elimination system.
In other words, she is not actually the kind of talent Tianhuo Studio needs.
But among all the people who were eliminated at the end, Zhou Muyan specifically singled out Lin Wan.
Not for anything else, just because her background is too scary...
Her father is the president of Shenhua Group, the largest communications provider and intelligent hardware developer in China, and Zhou Muyan cannot afford to offend him.
The term "can't afford to offend" may not be accurate. It should be that Zhou Muyan couldn't even kneel down and lick him!
Of course, Lin Wan didn't know that her identity had been exposed, because she entered Tianhuo Studio through the normal school recruitment process.
But apparently Lin Wan underestimated how much her father valued and cared about her...
On the second day after Lin Wan joined Tianhuo Studio, Zhou Muyan received a call from the office of the president of Shenhua Group.
Two hopes: first, I hope Zhou Muyan and Tianhuo Studio can help take care of Lin Wan and prevent her from overdrafting her health; second, I hope Zhou Muyan can destroy Lin Wan’s good impression of the game industry as soon as possible and make her give up.
This industry!
What he said on the phone was very tactful, but Zhou Muyan was so smart that he understood it right away.
The old man didn’t want Lin Wan to work in the gaming industry, but he didn’t want to be too tough and stalemate the relationship between father and daughter, so he took a roundabout way!
Zhou Muyan naturally wanted this kind of thing and agreed immediately.
That is the domestic behemoth Shenhua Group. Being able to get online will bring many benefits to Tianhuo Studio in the future!
Therefore, everyone ranked lower on the list was fired, except Lin Wan who continued to stay.
Zhou Muyan had already considered how to kill Lin Wan's enthusiasm for games as soon as possible and let her leave the industry as soon as possible.
It's not difficult.
As long as Lin Wan sees the truth about the game industry, that will be enough.
The game industry, at least the domestic game industry, is a sweatshop.
Eliminated at the bottom, 996, giving up dreams and pursuits for money, turning art into a money-making tool...
These are nothing new in the domestic gaming circle.
Of course, these things are not so absolute. There are also talented designers and conscientious studios in China.
But, relatively speaking, there are very few.
Zhou Muyan believes that as long as Lin Wan sees the truth about the gaming industry, she will be very disappointed and leave the industry. This is almost a certainty!
