Chapter 291: Need Special Terms?
When the lawyer pushed the door and walked in, Andy was about to call the game company in San Francisco, but when he saw the person coming, he could only put down the microphone in his hand first, with a warm smile on his face, nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hank, you are here, please take a seat." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Thank you to the owner. ”
"Call you here, just one thing, redraft a new work contract for Tory Blake, and she will follow me in the future, as an assistant, and, a non-disclosure agreement... Andy finished speaking, looking at each other with a nonchalant smile on his face.
"Okay, boss, I'll draw it up right away when I get back, as for the non-disclosure agreement... Do you need special terms?" Lawyer Hank replied immediately, although he also noticed the strange expression on the boss's face, and he could generally think of something, after all, Tory Blake's appearance is still very good, and he works as a personal assistant, and the probability of something happening is very high.
In line with his professional habits and responsible attitude towards the boss, although the questions asked may be a bit direct, it is better to ask this kind of thing clearly, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble in the future.
Andy shook his head and smiled, looking at the lawyer sitting opposite him with meaningful eyes, "Hehe, what do you say?"
Hank pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, without a trace of embarrassment on his face, and nodded seriously, "I understand! Then, boss, I'll go back and draw up the contract now." ”
Watching Hank leave, Andy couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle again, for his father Auston recommended this ice-faced lawyer to himself, he finally understood now, rigid and serious, direct and rigorous, it seems that there are few things that can affect his mood, and the professional ethics of people who adhere to it can naturally be guaranteed, this kind of person will only care about the interests of the employer, and will seem a little cold to others.
Smiling, Andy picked up the phone and called Carlisle of Mockingjay Games.
"Carlisle, how are you doing?" New York is three hours ahead of San Francisco, and that's when the game company has just come to work.
"Good morning, boss. Oh my God, boss, you don't know how popular our "Phytophyll" is, the kids love it! On the first day of the New Year's release, the sales exceeded 300,000 copies, which is incredible!" Carlisle's laughter was very hearty, which shows that the mood is really good.
"Hehe, this is also an early advertisement, and the publicity is well done, after all, it has more preparation time than when "Minecraft" was launched. With the promotion, "Zombie" will become more and more popular, which I have long predicted, and the future of casual games will dominate the market in the form of tower defense. By the way, what's going on with Toby's group lately? I'm really looking forward to the smart backend of Under the Legends, which will be one of our company's greatest assets. Andy asked the question he was most concerned about, to be honest, although he was also an IT graduate in his previous life, he basically only had a superficial understanding of artificial intelligence, and he was deeply attracted to it since he re-entered the university in this life to learn this knowledge.
From 1956 officially proposed the discipline of artificial intelligence, up to now, in the past 50 years, human beings have made great progress in the discipline of artificial intelligence, but it is only standing at the door and wandering, wanting machines to think like humans, there is still a long way to go.
Andy knows very well that if he wants to study artificial intelligence, the huge data flow is fundamental, and the data model built by Baidu based on the human brain is the most reliable in his opinion, which is also a very important factor for the rabbit country to catch up in artificial intelligence.
This is the case with science, where some inventions can already determine whether they succeed or fail at the beginning of the conjecture framework.
Andy believes that the game "Under the Legend" is the best opportunity to cut into artificial intelligence, make complex intelligent programs in the way of games, and then bring them to the market, through the huge base of gamers, create countless kinds of customs clearance processes, collect data, build data models, and improve artificial intelligence, which can undoubtedly save a lot of time and manpower and material resources.
Of course, the lab will still have to be built, but it will be carried out by the research group led by him, and before that, he will need to launch an excellent software for data collection to increase his advantage in AI research and development.
"Hehe, boss, now Toby has become a little crazy, he has made a simple trial version, and then took his team members to clear the customs every day to collect data, the effect is obvious, and there has been a lot of progress, but this still can't satisfy him, he has installed this game on the computers of the whole company, I hope that all the members of the company will come to clear the customs, just four or five levels of the game, play all day, it really drives people crazy... ”
"Well, you have to understand Toby at this point, developing this game, it takes a lot of data to calculate, different choices will make the plot develop differently, and the different orders of NPCs will also get different clearance directions, this is a great game, tell the people in the company, without affecting work and rest, as much as possible to help collect data. Andy understands Toby's helplessness, after all, there are more than a dozen people in his group, even if he doesn't do anything to verify the possibility of the game clearance, it's just a drop in the bucket, no wonder he did this game for ten years in his previous life.
"Okay boss, I know what to do... ”
After hearing Carlisle's answer, Andy then asked: "You got a call from Alvitatre, right? In the next period of time, I hope you can try your best to cooperate with the promotion of the game company, and you can also give a few more media interviews in San Francisco, you can moderately disclose the company's operations and profitability to the media, time is running out, I need the valuation of the game company to reach a new height." ”
"I understand, I will cooperate well, after a period of time, after the first "Zombie" money is credited, I think the company's valuation in the eyes of the third evaluation agency will increase again, boss, you see if you can start making a 3D game, officially set foot in the family game market, I think the diversification of the company's games will be conducive to the company's valuation improvement. ”
Andy groaned slightly, he was still very tempted by Carlisle's proposal to make a 3D game, no longer living in the United States, and couldn't understand how big the family game market here was, just like the rabbit country computer games occupy a major position, he is no stranger to console games, of course, he is not very familiar with them, he has played several classic games, because his game company lacks a 3D game engine, and several console games he is familiar with can only stay in his mind.
With the acquisition of a 3D game company, the game engine problem was solved, and it was indeed time to launch the first console game.
"I have a story here, which is very suitable for a console game, and I have some good ideas, so I'll sort it out first, and then I'll go back to the company and have a meeting with everyone to study it. ”
Andy's words made Carlisle very happy, you must know that the current mockingjay game company really admires the creativity of its boss, watching the company's almost leapfrog development, every employee is extremely proud and proud to be able to witness the growth of a great company.
Now that the boss has a new idea, Carlisle can imagine how excited he will be to form a 3D game development department.
"That's great! To be honest, the guys in the company are looking forward to your new ideas, boss, and I think how excited they are when they know the news, since the split of the acquired 3D game company, the only job of the current 3D game development department is to refine and improve the game engine, because of the new project, I have been approached many times. ”
Andy listened to Carlisle's euphemistic compliments, and was still in a good mood, with his continuous success step by step, whether it was his subordinate employees or the American people, even the most undisciplined reporters, now rarely talk about his age, especially the kind of distrust and doubts when he bought the newspaper, with the "Observer" newspaper's turnaround and sales, the expansion of influence, not only slapped some media in the face, but also established his status as an upstart in the publishing industry.
At lunch, Andy and the famous reporter of Time Magazine, Zakaria, who was about to give him an exclusive interview, made an appointment to get acquainted with each other, and at the same time communicate with each other on some interview questions, so as not to embarrass each other because of some questions.
After chatting with Carlisle for a while, Andy hung up the phone, and at the same time, the red light of the answering machine flashed a few times.
"Boss, I need to leave for a while, Lawyer Hank asked me to sign a new labor contract... ”
"Okay, I see, here you go!" Andy said with a meaningful smile on his face, listening to Tory Blair's slightly trembling voice in the answering machine.
"Thank you, boss!" Tori hung up, unable to hide the excitement on his face, took out the vanity mirror and took a picture left and right, took out the lipstick and put it back on the side, "Po!" Sakura pursed with her lips closed. Taking a deep breath, she buttoned the second button on the neckline of her shirt, after all, she showed the furrow to her boss, and other people didn't have this kind of treatment, but she was a little cautious.
Stepping on three-quarter heels, twisting her waist and hips, she walked quickly to the office of the legal department, where her future was held.
