After returning to Jingzhou City, it will soon be New Year's Day of 2010.
Everything is fine in the company, wages are paid on time, rent is paid on time, and the system funds are enough to cover all expenses. As long as all the money is lost and the game goes online, Pei Qian will directly receive 500,000 yuan in his account.
The school has entered exam week one after another. In order not to fail the exam, Pei Qian rarely goes to the company again.
Anyway, he doesn't care about what the game can do, it's best if he loses...
Thursday, January 7th.
Pei Qian finished another exam, returned to his rental house near the school, and lay down on the sofa, feeling indescribably relaxed and comfortable.
Seeing the system's settlement date approaching day by day, and the goal of losing money gradually being achieved, Pei Qian's tense nerves relaxed a little.
Call the system as usual to check the fund status.
【Wealth Conversion System】
[Host: Pei Qian]
[Profit conversion ratio 100:1, loss conversion ratio 1:1]
[Next settlement time: 25 days later]
【System funds: 138754.5(↓361245.5)】
【Personal property: 1255】
fruitful!!
Finally, almost everything was spent!
Pei Qian was so moved that he wanted to cry. With his hard work, he finally managed to roughly balance the balance of payments and gradually turn profits into losses!
Tengda's monthly expenses now include the following: office space rent, employee wages and overtime pay, water and electricity bills and daily expenses, various company supplies purchases, etc. Every now and then, Tengda also holds team-building dinners to spend money unexpectedly.
After this set of operations, the money that "Ghost General" continued to earn was finally spent, and the system funds finally didn't have much surplus!
So far, the system funds are already at a loss compared to the initial 500,000.
Next, Pei Qian only needs to do two things.
In the past two days, I have uploaded "Sea Fortress" online, thus meeting the system requirement of "having no unreleased products on hand one week before settlement".
Then, spend money suddenly and spend as much as possible the remaining hundreds of thousands!
After that, just sit back and wait for the money to be collected when the system settles!
As for how to promote "Sea Fortress"...
Pei Qian had no intention of promoting it at all. He just posted it on the official platform and was done. It would be best if no one discovered it!
The original purpose is to lose money, and we must try hard to prevent players from discovering this game!
"Just in case, after the game development is completed, we will organize a team building and spend the remaining hundreds of thousands as much as possible. The less money left, the better."
"Everyone has worked so hard to develop games, so it's not too much to watch a movie, eat, and sing K-pop together, right?"
Thinking of this, Pei Qian called Assistant Xin directly.
"Assistant Xin, make arrangements to celebrate the completion of the development of "Sea Fortress" this Friday night. Arrange a team-building activity. First watch a movie, then go to dinner, and finally go to sing K. Reserve as many seats as possible if you can!"
"The time is right, it's Friday night."
"Saturdays and Sundays are rest days. How can you take up employees' rest time to engage in team building? Isn't that a hooligan?"
"Yes, let's arrange it for Friday night."
"Okay, after you decide on the itinerary, send it to me for review. The requirements are still the same as before, but they need to be upgraded. Do you understand?"
Pei Qian briefly explained a few words, and just as he was about to hang up, Assistant Xin said, "Wait a moment, Mr. Pei, there is something else."
"Do you still remember the girl who asked you questions when we went to Yangcheng and Tianhuo Studio? Her name is Lin Wan."
Lin Wan?
Pei Qian was somewhat impressed by this name, but not deeply.
"What's up with her?"
Assistant Xin said on the phone: "She has come to Jingzhou City and wants to join our company. She is very determined and does not need any salary."
Pei Qian was stunned: "Huh? Where is she?"
Assistant Xin: "It's just at the company. I just received you not long after you arrived."
She was fine at Tianhuo Studio, why did she come to Jingzhou?
If you want to join our company, you don’t need a salary?
How can that be done!
Pei Qian thought for a while and asked, "Assistant Xin, what do you think of her?"
Xin Hailu was silent for a moment and replied seriously: "Mr. Pei, I think this girl may have a good background. She should be a rich girl whose family is not short of money. I noticed that the clothes and bags on her body are all famous foreign brands, and her whole body is well-dressed."
It is estimated to be tens of thousands of dollars at least."
"She doesn't have any airs and has a good personality, but I'm a little worried that she's too silly and sweet, and looks at things too naively, so she might not be suitable as an employee. Of course, it's up to you to decide whether you want to accept it or not."
Too silly and sweet?
Doesn’t that mean you have no work ability?
Sure, I like employees like this!
Pei Qian feels that this Lin Wan seems to be very suitable for his recruitment needs!
Isn't it great that a pampered rich girl has basically zero working ability?
"Okay, let's hire her! The salary... give her 4,000 a month first, and then increase the salary. You can sign a contract with her directly. As for work... Oh, there seems to be no work recently, so there is no need to assign work first.
Let her do whatever she likes. By the way, remember to include her in the Friday night activities!”
Pei Qian casually explained a few words and didn't take it to heart, but continued to think about his 500,000.
…
On the company's side, the research and development of "Sea Fortress" has begun to enter the final stage.
Bao Xu did not go to Yangcheng. He has been repeatedly experiencing the plot mode of "Sea Fortress" in the past few days. He recorded all the places that felt awkward in the process and gave them to Huang Sibo for revision.
Bao Xu doesn't understand those profound game design theories, he only trusts his own intuition.
If there were any problems that I felt intuitively, I would write them all down and give them to Huang Sibo.
Huang Sibo, on the other hand, racked his brains to analyze what the problem was, and he was often able to find a solution!
Huang Sibo knows very well that the plot mode is a highlight of "Sea Fortress" and the key to improving the quality of this game. He must strive to achieve perfection!
Of course, other aspects are also important, such as the shooting feel, the models and actions in the game, other modes besides the story mode, etc., which are also related to the player's experience.
The trials of these contents are basically all taken care of by Bao Xu. Anyway, Bao Xu is a serious gamer, and now he just uses the time he spends playing other games to play his own games.
Bao Xu didn’t feel hard at all, but actually enjoyed it very much!
When playing other games, Bao Xu would feel powerless when encountering something unpleasant.
Because submitting customer service feedback is basically a waste of time, and the feedback will not reach the project team. Even if it is fed back to the project team, the project team will probably not make changes.
But "Sea Fortress" was different. Bao Xu felt there was something wrong, so he directly told Huang Sibo, and then it was fixed at the speed of light!
Some of the major changes in the early stage have been almost completed, and the rest is to slowly adjust some details, such as gun trajectories, character collision boxes, etc. Although it is very important to the game experience, it can be completed by changing some parameters.
The original R&D deadline was approaching day by day, and Huang Sibo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!
The research and development of "Sea Fortress" was completed as scheduled, with high quality and quantity, and finally lived up to Mr. Pei's trust!
However, Huang Sibo has no idea how to publicize and promote this game.
He didn't care too much, anyway, these were matters decided by President Pei.
Mr. Pei is in charge of promoting the plan, so can he be wrong?
Mr. Pei, who can think of using Weibo to promote "Ghost General", must be able to think of an excellent way to promote it!
