Chapter 1096: The Game World in Reality
After attending Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, Andy drove to his mockingjay game company.
As the profitability of Mockingjay Games skyrocketed, the company continued to grow, and when Andy got out of the car, he saw that the square behind the original building had completely become a parking lot full of cars.
Walking into the company building, watching the people coming and going, the employees who were chatting and laughing together at the end of the corridor with coffee and clutter, the work cubicle was next to the office hall of the work cubicle, and the working environment had become very crowded, Andy frowned slightly.
To say that the expansion speed of his IT companies is really faster than the other, of course, the mocking bird company is the most gratifying and reassuring company for him, and the company has gradually gotten rid of the situation of relying entirely on his own creativity.
The growing number of new game development teams all have their own game projects, and some of the ideas are really good, such as "Ball Battle", "Extreme Motorcycle", "Princess Makeup" and other game projects, and even Andy was very surprised when he saw the company briefing at the time.
It also made Andy understand that there are really a lot of smart people in this world, and his biggest advantage may really be just a beautiful time difference, if it is really a step-by-step development, maybe some people will think of a good mobile game idea with him, after all, creative crashes are not uncommon.
In the conference room, Andy convened the leaders of all the current game development teams of the company, listened to the project introductions of each team and understood the progress, and looked at the subordinates who could no longer sit at the oval conference table, Andy set his eyes on Blair.
"It looks like it's time for us to build our own headquarters. ”
Hearing the words of the big boss, not only Blair smiled, but everyone in the conference room was happy, you must know that the company's personnel have surged, and now the office space is very crowded, and it is already a very good situation for four people to use a 20-square-meter office.
Who wouldn't want to work in a tall headquarters building, especially for those of them who are coders, a free, relaxed, comfortable and spacious working environment is a very important thing.
"It is really necessary to consider the construction of the headquarters building, the number of people in the company has reached 600 people, the game development team has reached 45, and the Liberty City APP mall next door has also increased to 200 people, it is hard to imagine that these two three-story buildings can squeeze so many people, I was still thinking about renting an office building on the opposite street for the marketing department. ”
Hearing Blair's words, Andy looked at the more than fifty subordinates present who became excited with a smile, and naturally knew what this group of guys were thinking, knowing that there was currently a large amount of cash lying on the account of the game company and there was nowhere to spend it, and once there was a good game idea, the company that was not bad for money would immediately allocate funds to complete the formation of a new game project.
Just because they continue to recruit people and set up studios, new games are almost constantly emerging, in addition to the games created by Andy, the current Mockingjay Games has matured as many as 12 products.
These 12 games bring the company a steady stream of cash, a huge cash NAI herd, which can allow the company to open the way with cash, and make up the heritage of this small company that was on the verge of bankruptcy two years ago, and now the mockingbird game company can completely say that it is a giant crocodile in the mobile game market.
"When I arrived, I even saw our engineers standing around the corner of the hallway with coffee and chatting, oh my God, it's hard to imagine this is a multi-billion dollar gaming company, well, I'll admit it, it was my negligence, but what I'm going to do now is correct that oversight.
"It's amazing... "Everyone is happy with the boss's decision, as a group of code farmers, who doesn't want to have a good treatment at the same time, but also have a good working environment.
To be honest, the company environment is really a bit bad now, not only has it become crowded, but the environment is also very rough, not to mention compared with the headquarters of those well-known IT companies, and even the working environment of some emerging IT companies cannot be compared.
Of course, although the environment is not good, but in the current global economic downturn, at least compared to wages, etc., the working environment of the company is still not so concerned, although some people often complain in private, but compared to many game companies go bankrupt and their peers are unemployed and have no jobs, their situation is already very good.
The salary is good, it is issued on time, and the team with mature products can also get a profit dividend every month, although the proportion is very small, but it can't stand the high sales. If you are lucky and think of a good idea, and the company confirms the project, then you will become a millionaire. You must know that Mockingjao Games will give the creators of the game 40% of the copyright income.
"A good headquarters environment can not only become a favorable condition to attract talents, but also a condition to enhance the company's image, now the company has sufficient cash, we have the conditions to build the headquarters!"
Andy's words made everyone nod yes in agreement, and many people began to discuss some opinions on the construction of the headquarters one after another.
"I have not withdrawn funds from the company, nothing more than hope that the company can grow rapidly, so that the mocking bird has a stable and healthy development foundation, a bright future, all the time, you have done a great job, did not let me down, as the boss, I should provide you with an extremely dreamy working environment, so that you are happy every day, energetic to work. ”
The words of the big boss made everyone present smile with joy and bright smiles, and nothing warmed them more than a boss who cared about them.
"So, what kind of concept is needed for our headquarters building, the theme is the first thing to decide, and when you go back, let everyone put forward the ideas they want, send them to the company's mailbox, and then discuss and decide. Blair is undoubtedly the happiest one to build the headquarters, as the CEO of the mocking bird, from a dozen kittens to the current scale, undoubtedly poured a lot of effort into it.
As much as he made Mockingjay Games, so did Mockingjay, and Blair is a new and famous figure in the gaming world.
"Well, that's a good idea, then I'll talk about my idea first, we are a game company, whether it's Minecraft, Phytosis, Fruit Swordsman or Angry Birds, they are all famous representatives of our company, these should be highlighted, in this way, my idea is an amusement park and a plant jungle!" Andy's proposal made the eyes of everyone present light up.
Indeed, there's nothing quite like an amusement park theme as a headquarters concept for a Mockingjay Games company.
"The exterior of the headquarters building, we can completely decorate it with Minecraft pixel blocks, and anyone who sees our headquarters building will quickly think of our company name, which is undoubtedly the most recognizable. The head of the company's marketing department suggested directly.
As soon as his words fell, there was a chorus of approval, and the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became high.
"Block, choose steel frame structure, modular building, is undoubtedly the most suitable, strong plasticity, our campus vegetation can be trimmed according to the style of Minecraft. It's a great idea to bring the game world to life!"
"Yes, I also agree with the proposal to use all the games we develop as decoration projects for the park, to create a dream playground, and I believe that our headquarters building will become a favorite building for children. ”
The smile on Andy's face became brighter and brighter, watching his group of subordinates start to continuously improve the construction concept of the company's headquarters, and he also liked the idea of the concept headquarters of "Minecraft" very much.
