Chapter 60: Start Making
It was another Monday at 10 a.m., and Xu Qing appeared at Honor Games.
It has been more than a week since Denim took office as general manager, and Denim has recruited full staff in this week.
At present, there are 5 managers and 26 ordinary employees in Honor Games, which is an ultra-small company.
When the new company opens, Xu Qing must first make chicken soup to the people of the company:
"Dear colleagues, I am glad that you chose to join Honor Games at a time when there was nothing, and time will tell that your choice was worth it.
Honor Games is now very small, with an office area of just over 100 square meters and more than 20 employees, which is smaller than a department of those big game companies.
Your current salary is also the average in the industry, which is not comparable to those big game companies.
But as you'll soon see, Honor Games is going to get bigger and bigger, and I'm committed that in the next year, I'll invest no less than $100 million in Honor Games.
Both large and small companies have their own advantages and disadvantages, and when your general manager, Danning, was interviewed, I asked him why you applied for the general manager of our small company when you used to be the vice president of a good game company.
Denning said he likes to turn a small company into a big company, and the sense of accomplishment is unparalleled, and I like that you guys have that kind of idea of Denning as well.
As long as you dare to think and dare to act, I will not treat you badly. ”
Xu Qing's chicken soup is finished, looking at their expressions, the effect should be okay, but the chicken soup can only warm up for a while, and you still need practical things.
"Next I would like to announce the first product developed by Honor Games, the electronic pet, which is very important, not only because it is the first product of Honor Games, but we are going to get off to a good start.
What's more, I'm very bullish on this product, which will definitely shock the world and bring a lot of profit to the company. ”
When Xu Qing said this, the people in Glory Company looked at Xu Qing with suspicious eyes.
Xu Qing smiled, took a sip of coffee and said:
"Don't look at me like that, you've been in the game industry for a few years, and you've personally participated in the development of more than one game product, and you know how hard it is for a game product to shock the world.
Your suspicions are normal, and I won't say too much, electronic pets are easy to develop, and if everything goes well, they can be developed within half a month.
Here are some ideas and suggestions for me about e-pets, as well as styling drawings of e-pets. Xu Qing sent them a few tens of points of paper.
Danning took the document and looked through it, and said with a smile: "Boss, the modeling drawing you drew has a unique style." ”
"I'm not a professional, you just need to understand. Xu Qing waved his hand, unimpressed.
Xu Qing waited for them to finish reading the document and asked, "Do you have any questions about electronic pets?" ”
There was a fat man with glasses who raised his hand, and Xu Qing knew that he was Gordon, the director of the planning department: "Gordon, what are the questions?"
Gordon took the file and raised it for a moment, and said: "Boss, I think the game mode of the electronic pet is too simple, feeding, bathing, chatting, and constantly repeating these 3 links.
It's hard for me to imagine that it would shock the world, maybe someone would like it, but not too many people. ”
"Gordon, your question is good, and you should have the same question. Xu Qing looked at the others, and when they heard Xu Qing's words, they all nodded.
"Strictly speaking, a cyberpet is not a video game in the true sense of the word, it is neither a handheld, console, arcade, nor a computer game.
If you want to give a definition of an electronic pet, the word toy is more appropriate, it is an electronic toy.
Nowadays, urban life is fast-paced, and many people feel lonely, so there are many people who have pets to accompany them, but more people do not have pets.
They may be lazy, they may not be able to afford pets, they may not be able to keep them, there are various reasons.
The target group of electronic pets is mainly this group of lonely people, don't underestimate its game mode is so simple, for the target user, they need this simple companionship.
Okay, you guys make a sample as soon as possible, and then you'll know why I'm saying it's shocking the world, do you have any questions?"
Xu Qing explained, and asked these people what other problems they had, these people shook their heads and said that there was no problem, and Xu Qing asked them to officially develop electronic pets.
After talking to these people, Xu Qing and Danning came to the general manager's office, and the two sat on the sofa and made coffee.
"Denning, you're pretty good at making coffee, you can go open a café." Xu Qing praised.
"When I was a business manager in my first company, I often had to play with customers and practice my coffee brewing skills. Denning said.
Xu Qing took another sip of coffee, put the cup on the table and said:
"Those employees will not fully believe my speech just now, you have to urge them more, try to make samples within half a month, I will often come to the company, and tell me in time if you have any questions. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of those guys. Denning replied.
"Judging by the look on your face, I don't really believe that an electronic pet will shock the world. Xu Qing said with a smile.
"Nope. Denning hurriedly waved his hand.
"You're the general manager, so don't hesitate to say anything. Xu Qing glared at Denim.
"It's just that I think if the electronic pet doesn't shock the world by then, employees will feel that Honor Games is a big-talking company, unreliable, and some people may leave. Denning spoke his mind.
"You're right, if the animatronic pet hadn't shocked the world, the newly built Glory Games company would have fallen apart.
But there's a reason why I made the electronic pet the first product of Honor Games, and it's useless to talk about this reason now, so I won't talk about it.
Anyway, you have to believe that the animatronic pet can shock the world, and if you don't believe it, you have to believe it, otherwise how will you manage those guys. Xu Qing said with a smile.
Electronic pets, when Xu Qing crossed, few people knew about this electronic toy that swept RB, Europe, North America, China and other regions in the 90s.
In the 90s, owning an electronic pet was all about having face, it was a trend.
I don't know how many people steal money from their families in order to be able to buy electronic pets, exchange their bodies, rob and other methods to get money to buy electronic pets.
If you want to make a category, it is the scene where the iPhone 4 is popular all over the world.
The developer, Bandai, avoided the fate of being merged by Sega because of the launch of electronic pets, and until Xu Qing crossed over, he was still alive and well.
People in this era will soon be addicted to the charm of electronic pets!
