Chapter 22 Preparations Before Leaving the Country
Early the next morning, Bao Zixuan came to the newly rented office building, and today he was going to arrange a team of engineers from RB to bring the local game developers from the factory to the new office, and assign jobs and administrative divisions for everyone.
In fact, Bao Zixuan already knew it in his heart, after all, the overall office area is not very large. In the past few days, under the 24-hour renovation of the workers, the office area has been renovated. Although there is still some smell, it is basically not smelled under the cleaning of a professional housekeeping company.
The sixth floor is divided into an office and a conference room, which is his own office, which is ready for Bao Tingting in the past two years. The fourth and fifth floors are the game development department of Miyamoto's hat. The second and third floors are the game console development office of Yokoi Junpei. The first floor is the reception hall and the game console display area. This is just a temporary exhibition area, but also a simple transition location.
But in order to make a good impression on the engineers who came from RB, after all, they still have to work for the other party. Therefore, it is better to do the best to improve the quality of the office area.
Miyamoto saw that although the office area was much smaller than Nintendo's, his office was much better than before, and the game development department was completely in charge of himself. The salary is much higher than before, which makes him devote himself to the planning of the office area. As long as it is the office equipment needed, it will be purchased as soon as it is handed over to the company's purchasing department. This is Bao Zixuan's promise to them at the beginning. And I've dug all the seniors of Yokoi to this new company, so what are I not satisfied with!
Yokoi knew that the working environment here might be much worse than when he was at RB, but he didn't expect it to be so far from Nintendo. And the hardware department is completely blank, and everything has to start from scratch by itself, which is the challenge that I have to face. It is also a great opportunity to develop the market by itself, and the company has given itself the first salary in the industry, isn't it just to let yourself establish this department!
At 2:00 p.m., Bao Zixuan held the first management meeting of Heiyun Game Company in the new conference room, which was just a brief chat in his office before, and this meeting was the overall planning meeting for the development of Heiyun in the next two years, and everyone attached great importance to it.
There are a total of 6 people attending the meeting, and these people are the most important high-level executives in the current black cloud game, namely Bao Zixuan, Director Ma, Li Jun, Zhao Tingting, Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto hat.
Bao Zixuan: "First of all, welcome Mr. Yokoi and Mr. Miyamoto to join the Black Cloud Game Company, the main content of this meeting is only 5 articles, the first is about the adjustment of the company's management, Zhao Tingting will be promoted to the company's deputy general manager from today, and the negative person will coordinate the operation of various departments of the company. Zhao Tingting smiled and said hello to everyone and sat down.
"I have reached a deal with Mr. Pan Jianwen yesterday, and the 230 acres of land near the company will be ours in the future. I promised to hand over the Canadian agency to their family, so in the future we will increase the production of game consoles. to fulfill orders in North America. At the same time, I have already started to design the new factory, dormitories and office areas, which will be completed within six months. In this regard, Zhao Tingting and Li Jun will be the loser, and the game development department and the game console development department will set up two separate office buildings, and I will reserve a place, and Mr. Yokoi and Mr. Miyamoto will communicate with the designers in terms of design. ”
"The manager of the horse factory needs to make a good reserve of workers, and by the end of the year, we will recruit 1,500 workers to cope with future orders. Moreover, the game jointly developed by the company and Taidong Co., Ltd. will be launched to the market in March next year, which is a more competitive game than Xiangjiang Cube. And the North American market is our development, and there can be no sloppiness in this regard. ”
"Mr. Yokoi, how is the patent research I gave you yesterday? Bao Zixuan looked at Yokoi Junpei and said.
To be honest, Junhei Yokoi didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after seeing the patents for game consoles, especially the D-pad, which was the first of its kind in the era, I was completely impressed by this genius design.
Junhei Yokoi: "Yes, boss, with these we can design our own console, and we can surpass any other company's console. ”
Bao Zixuan: "It's good if you have confidence, I hope you can set up the hardware development department as soon as possible." This is an important guarantee that we will not be controlled by others in the future, and your task is heavy, and this is the design plan for the two consoles that I drafted overnight. One is a handheld game console, and it is equipped with a card that can be replaced with different games, it is powered by three No. 5 batteries, and the overall weight cannot exceed 300 grams, which is a big challenge. The other is a home console, when our games don't sell very well in the arcade, maybe we can delay his life on the home console. ”
Junhei Yokoi: "Okay, no problem, it's my duty. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Regarding Mr. Miyamoto, your task is the two game development plans I gave you. Bao Zixuan took out Donkey Kong and the Legend of Senna, and this game, which was originally designed by Miyamoto's hat, was back in his hands, but only a few years in advance. Or if you have any good ideas, you can directly set up a project, and we will start to discuss it after the meeting.
Miyamoto hat: "Okay, boss. ”
Bao Zixuan: "In addition, Mr. Yokoi and Mr. Miyamoto each arranged for an engineer to go to the United States first, the kind of person who can stand alone, and set off tomorrow, it is best to have a background of living and working in the United States, and the salary will be appropriately increased with reference to the American standard, and a high foreign work allowance will be given." He had seen the profile of newly recruited RB engineers, and several of them had worked in the United States.
"Okay, no problem, President," Yokoi and Miyamoto replied.
Bao Zixuan: "Li Jun, your task is to recruit 100 security personnel, this time I will take 2 security guards with me when I go to the United States, you can arrange it." ”
Li Jun: "Okay, boss. ”
Then it's time for everyone to work hard together, and I hope everyone will be united. I hope you retired at Blackcloud when you retired. I'll give you the best wages and benefits in the industry, but I'm sorry if anyone takes money they shouldn't have. A lawyer is going to sue you for bankruptcy, which is something I don't want. I am a villain first and then a gentleman, so I want everyone to work together to build a better black cloud.
To be honest, Bao Zixuan is now reluctant to build on a large scale in Xiangjiang. Because there are several big opportunities waiting for him in the next few years, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He doesn't want to take up too much capital, but for the company to develop, the production capacity of the factory is an indispensable link. Fortunately, Pan Jianwen did not ask for cash to trade the land, but chose agency, which is indeed a win-win situation.
In one night, Bao Zixuan completed the overall planning of the factory, although many buildings do not need to be built immediately, but the land still has to be reserved. As a senior engineer who participated in the construction of an aircraft engine factory, the design and planning of a game console factory is too simple.
The next day, Zhao Tingting was called over and began to arrange priority construction projects, that is, factory buildings and workers' dormitories. These are to be addressed as a matter of priority and must be used at the end of the year. In line with the principle of not using suspicious people and employing people, Bao Zixuan handed over the entire project to Zhao Tingting, and Li Jun was responsible for assisting.
In the next few days, Bao Zixuan exchanged problems and precautions with everyone in the game development department and the game console development department, and after solving some questions and technical points, he went to the factory to see the production situation. And the construction company has already entered the field to level the land and drive wooden piles. After He Mingcheng settled all the legal formalities, Bao Zixuan finally had his own piece of land in Xiangjiang. After dealing with the company's problems, Bao Zixuan returned to his home, and he was going to study in the United States in a few days, so he had to spend time with his mother.
