Chapter 11: The Burning Star Cube

Seeing that the Lunar New Year is about to pass, the arcade factory is extremely busy and is constantly recruiting new people. After sending another 20 prototypes to the United States and RB, after a week of hard work by the sales department, the United States got an order for 5,000 units at a price of $1,200 per unit, and RB got an order for 8,000 units at a price of $1,100.

At present, the assembly plant is seriously undercapacity, and while working overtime, it continues to recruit 350 employees to train and produce at the same time.

Li Guangyu didn't expect the Xingyu cube to become popular so quickly, although later generations proved the ability of this game, but it was a big hit at the beginning, which still exceeded his expectations, if he had known that it would be so easy to sell, he wouldn't have to run to take out a loan.

The first batch alone brought nearly US$8 million to Lee Guangyu, which was converted into 42 million Hong Kong dollars. This vote alone is equivalent to one-third of the market value of the clothing company, no wonder whether it is video games in the eighties and nineties, or later online games, they are all hens laying golden eggs, and this money is too easy to make.

On January 23, Li Guangyu came to the International Building by car accompanied by bodyguards. Since Li Guangyu instructed Wang Lei to recruit bodyguards for him, he invited four bodyguards the next day.

It also happened that because Wang Lei wanted to recruit a group of high-quality security personnel, he paid attention to the people who were smuggled from the north. So Wang Lei went directly to Yuen Long to recruit, because there were a large number of people fleeing Hong Kong, so Wang Lei easily recruited the personnel he needed, and the bodyguards selected for Li Guangyu were the best of the best.

One of the two who accompanied Li Guangyu to the company today is named Li Weiming, codenamed Scorpion, who once worked in the reconnaissance company of a certain division on the mainland, and has a scar on his neck, according to which he said the bullet was left by passing through the skin. The other is named Zhang Songtao, codenamed Skinny Monkey, an ace sniper of a military region in the mainland, just like his code name, he is relatively thin, less than 1.7 meters tall.

One of the two at home is named Du Yonghong, codenamed Viper, who was also born in a reconnaissance company and won the first place in the comprehensive martial arts competition of a certain military region on the mainland. One is called Xiong Li, if you don't consider firearms, he is definitely the most capable of fighting among the four, one meter eight tall, relatively taciturn, basically you don't ask him to speak.

Li Guangyu first walked into the game development department to learn about the development of the tank, Li Guangyu walked in and didn't see Qin Peng, not even Yamamoto Shigeru, Li Guangyu asked a female employee in her twenties next to him, "What about your Manager Qin and Deputy Manager Yamamoto Shigeru?"

Seeing that the chairman was asking herself, the female employee immediately stopped the workstation in her hand and replied: "Hello chairman, Manager Qin, deputy manager and several key members are having a meeting in the conference room. ”

When Lee Kwang-woo heard that they were in a meeting, he left the development department and switched to the sales department. When I came to the sales department and saw that Gan Qinglin was also here, I listened to the sales manager's report on the sales of Xingyu Cube.

"Chairman, through the efforts of our colleagues in the United States, we have obtained the first batch of orders for 5,000 units in the three neighboring states, focusing on the California region, and the company's business has been extended to the central region, and we called from the United States this morning to increase the order for another 4,000 units. RB's order is 8,000 units, and Takeshi Yamadahara, vice president of Seiko Epson, will come from Tokyo today to discuss the game licensing with the company, so if the governor has time to meet him? Li Xuemei reported to Li Guangyu.

Li Guangyu said with a smile on his face: "The company's business is thriving, thank you for the efforts of the sales department, you notify them, let them make persistent efforts, the company will remember their merits, and let everyone spend this New Year happily in the upcoming year-end bonus." I will greet Takeshi Yamada at the company when he comes, but the specific business still needs to be discussed with Keirin to maximize the company's profits on the basis of game licensing cooperation. ”

At this time, Gan Qinglin said to Li Guangyu: "Chairman, the current orders are very good, and with the increasing orders in the United States, our production capacity is not enough to meet the demand of orders, do we need to find a company to OEM a batch of orders for us." ”

"The scale of our own assembly plant should not be expanded for the time being, and it is enough to keep it at 12,000 units per month, and you can contact other foundries in Xiangjiang for excess orders. In addition, we have started to contact channel providers to sell our games in South Korea, Taiwan, Europe, and Southeast Asia, and we have also started selling them in Hong Kong. ”

After learning about the company's sales, Li Guangyu went back to his office, looked at some working documents on the table, and Li Guangyu felt the need to recruit a full-time secretary for himself.

The company is increasing, the business is developing in many industries, and no one is helping to deal with it, and Li Guangyu finds that he is getting busier and busier. Fortunately, the company has a group of elites, otherwise Li Guangyu can only be blind.

Li Guangyu thought of Li Xuemei, the sales manager, this twenty-seven-year-old lady, graduated from the Department of Economics of the University of California, with a good diploma, strong ability, and high appearance, I don't know which family may think that this is a wealthy elite cultivated by a family, but she was just born in an ordinary family in Xiangjiang.

The only thing that makes Li Guangyu feel a little unhappy is that Li Xuemei is a feminist, Li Guangyu himself is not very interested in feminism in his past and present lives, and his thinking is relatively conservative, and he thinks that women should be married and taught children at home.

Okay, this guy has a bit of a typical feudal mentality, for a strong woman like Li Xuemei, Li Guangyu is ready to give her a promotion, and is ready to see if she can take over Gan Qinglin's position in the future, so that Gan Qinglin can continue to expand the territory for the Li family.

Li Guangyu was still thinking about how to make his group of cattle work harder when there was a knock on the door of the office.

"Please come in. ”

I saw Qin Peng said: "Chairman, I heard that you came to the development department to find me, is there anything wrong?"

"Manager Qin, it's nothing, you sit, I went to the development department to see how the game about tank battles went, I didn't go to you when I heard that you were in a meeting. ”

Qin Peng sat down opposite Li Guangyu and said: "Chief Governor, the meeting just now was to discuss the issue of this game, and now the game development department is divided into 6 groups of game construction, game music, game screen, game art, game creativity, and game software development. I'm talking about the division of labor today, and we expect to be able to develop the game in three months. ”

Li Guangyu thought about it after listening to Qin Peng's report and said: "You don't have to push yourself too hard, you must consider the smoothness of the game screen in the development process. ”

Qin Peng listened to the young chairman's instructions and immediately responded, now he didn't dare to underestimate Li Guangyu's understanding of games, who would have thought that a game as simple as building blocks could become popular. Although Li Guangyu doesn't know how to develop, his creativity is what game companies need, and as for the number of developers, there are not many good ideas.
