On the window-facing side of the conference room, seven laptops lined up in unison. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the head was a red-faced old man who looked to be at least the age of knowing his destiny, and to his right were six subordinates between twenty-five and forty years of age. The six subordinates operated the keyboard and mouse with serious faces, controlling the game characters on the screen, and testing them one by one according to the pre-listed points in their respective notebooks. The old man smiled nonchalantly, manipulating the game character while chatting with a few people on the other side.

Opposite them, on the side with their backs to the window, sat Manager Wang, Manager Bing, Xu Zhuce, Li Zhucheng, Gong Zhucheng, and Min Zhumei from the Holy Grail Studio, each with a respectful and polite expression on their faces, carefully chatting with the old man.

This day is the day when Mingzhou Company, the investor of the Holy Grail Studio, came to review the demo version of "Legend of the Six Paths Online", and the team was led by the deputy director Shao, who was fifty years away, and he led a joint review team composed of marketing department, operation department and R&D department, and flew from the imperial capital to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the game, and conduct face-to-face communication with the Holy Grail party on the evaluation results.

"Mr. Shao, it's almost time for dinner, why don't we find a place to eat first?" Manager Wang looked at his watch, this audit meeting has been going on for a morning, and it seems that there is no sign of stopping. As the party being reviewed, he did not take the initiative to put forward a position so far, and could only suggest whether to come to an intermission, and by the way, to wash the dust for these masters who came up and down. If you can envelop people well, and don't ask them for a few kind words, at least you can ensure that you won't pick bones in the eggs.

"Mr. Wang, don't be polite, call for takeout, we will eat whatever you eat for your usual work meals. Vice Chairman Shao seemed to be bold in rejecting Mr. Wang's suggestion and instead proposed an alternative, which seemed approachable.

As the number one online game company in China, there are a lot of investment projects like the Holy Grail in various places, so there is no need to care about the idea of the Holy Grail at all, we have already smashed the money for the first phase of investment, if you can't hear a sound, then don't talk about any additional investment in the second and third phases, just pat your ass and leave. Anyway, the country is so big, and we have invested in so many projects, and it's not just your Holy Grail Studio that can do game development.

Eating and socializing and contacting feelings or something, in Vice Chairman Shao's opinion, there is really no need for that, at least until it is determined that the next step will be to maintain a cooperative relationship.

Manager Wang's face suddenly flashed with an embarrassed wry smile when he heard this, as the vice chairman of Shuzhou Company, you can also be regarded as a great god in the domestic online game industry, and I call you "Mr. Shao", which is worthy of the name. But I, the project manager of a small studio with only thirty or forty people under your company, let you call me "Mr. Wang", isn't this a humble person?

However, no matter how much he responded in his heart, the other party could be regarded as complimenting himself, and besides, he still held the power of auditing in his hands, so Manager Wang could only pretend to be casual and continue to persuade a few words, seeing that Deputy Director Shao insisted on not complying, he had no choice but to turn his head and let Manager Bing arrange to order takeaway.

Manager Bing went out to find Ruoying and ordered a few words, Ruoying's eyes were full of wondering, one of the six bosses in the house is counted as one, and how many times have you eaten takeaway in the company?

More than half an hour later, more than a dozen steaming takeaways were delivered, and Manager Bing personally moved the foam cardboard box containing the lunch box into the conference room and beckoned everyone to move.

After eating, I finally rested for half an hour. The review team and the bosses of the Holy Grail did not leave the conference room, but got up and moved their limbs, exchanged opinions in twos and threes, or chatted a few gossips, and then continued to participate in the review process of the demo version.

It lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the audit work was all over, and the six evaluation reports were summarized into Vice Chairman Shao's notebook, and Vice Chairman Shao looked through the six audits and appraisals completed under his nose one by one with a serious expression, and the six Holy Grail bosses on the opposite side were in a complicated mood to figure out Vice Chairman Shen's expression, but what attitude and what he thought, no one could really guess.

"You have a first-class planning team, second-rate technical support, and third-rate artistic expression. After reading the six reports, Vice Chairman Shao closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally spoke.

Xu Zhuce showed a hint of a smile, Li Zhucheng and Gong Zhucheng were expressionless, and Min Zhumei's face changed slightly.

"Your production outline is very rigorous, professional, and convincing, and although the gameplay system is not very outstanding, it is good and solid. The design of the scene levels is very imaginative, and the pace of the game is well controlled. Judging from the game materials, the background of the story is very epic. Although the current demo version of the plot has not yet been fully developed, judging from the tasks and dialogues that have been completed so far, it can at least be said to be 'unconventional'. So overall, I'm quite satisfied with the performance of your planning team. Vice Chairman Shao paused, shook his head and sighed and continued, "But your overall functional completion is too low, and the demo version functional plan listed in the production outline is actually less than 70% completed, which makes us question whether the subsequent versions can be implemented one by one according to the plan." Finally, let's talk about the art performance.,In addition to the two protagonists who can barely see this part.,The scene and NPC can only be said to be simple and rough.,Barely a temporary substitute for a temporary number.,Don't talk about the official version.,Even if you take something like this out in the internal test.,It will make players laugh off their big teeth!"

Min Zhumei's face was already so red that he wanted to drip blood, and the demeanor of the two masters was not much stronger than him.

"Mr. Shao, first of all, I want to admit that the assessment opinions given by your audit team are very pertinent. Manager Wang barely squeezed out a smile, "Regarding the program and art part, the problems you said do exist. But to be honest, because the initial investment of the project is too large, renting office space and purchasing hardware equipment accounts for the majority, resulting in insufficient salary space, so the manpower of these two departments is very tight. If the second phase of investment can be completed as soon as possible, these problems can be improved quickly. ”

Deputy Director Shao snorted, noncommittal.

After seeing Manager Wang give him a look, Li Zhucheng also explained: "Just like Lao Wang said, at present, there are only two programmers on the server side, including me, who can independently implement functions, and the client side is similar. Although some fresh graduates have been recruited, they are not of much use for the time being. ”

"There is a shortage of people on the art side than in the programming department. Min Zhumei also interjected, "I am working on the two protagonists from 2D to 3D alone, and then I have to draw the interface, and the scene and NPC can only be handed over to a group of newcomers to toss around, and I really can't take care of it." ”

"In the same working environment, why can the planning side perform well?" Vice Chairman Shao asked suspiciously.

Xu Zhuce raised his head and glanced at Manager Wang, who smiled silently.

"The planning department is an exception, we have three planners and Manager Wang are in the same team, and two of them have completely participated in the project research and development of "Sui and Tang Fengyunlu Online", and they all have the ability to take charge of themselves. Xu Zhuce explained simply.

""Sui and Tang Dynasty"? I remember, the mainland side is our agent, the monthly revenue exceeds 40 million, and the sales of Taiwanese clothes seem to be good, right?" Vice Chairman Shao seemed to be a little interested.

"Well, it's okay. When I left Xiamen, my monthly revenue was almost 40 million. Manager Wang smiled self-deprecatingly, "But that's in the past, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Speaking of which, the project of "Sui and Tang" really made a lot of money, not only allowing the company's boss to buy a house and land in Xiamen, a treasure island where every inch of land is valuable, but also taking most of the core members of the R&D team directly became a family with a house and a car, and Manager Wang, the number one hero of the R&D team, bought two apartments in Shanghai in one go.

It is precisely because of the excellence of "Sui and Tang" that Manager Wang, as the main policymaker, will be appreciated by the mainland agent Shuzhou Company. Seeing the outbreak of the former boss overnight, Manager Wang couldn't resist his ambition to open a company, and successfully obtained the first financial support from Shuzhou Company, so that he had the opportunity to take Liu Kewei and others to jump out and set up the Holy Grail Studio.

"You did a good job in "Sui and Tang", but the current demo can't give us the confidence to allocate the second phase of investment!" Vice Chairman Shao's expression was very entangled.

Manager Wang straightened up and said solemnly: "After the follow-up investment is in place, I am confident that "Six Paths" will surpass "Sui and Tang". ”

Deputy Dong Shao pondered for a long time, and nodded slowly: "I will support you again, but in the next alpha version, you have to ensure that there will be no more problems, otherwise it will ......"

Manager Wang smiled and intercepted Deputy Director Shao's words in time: "Don't worry, there will be no problem." ”

After sending Deputy Dong Shao and his entourage away, Manager Wang let out a long breath, although the completion of the demo version was not satisfactory, it was finally passed this life-and-death audit.

Now, it's time to make a big splash, right?

Back in the conference room, as expected by Manager Wang, none of Xu Zhuce and the others left. But there was a look of relief on everyone's face.

"Xiao Bing, let's prepare for large-scale recruitment, this time, in addition to the planning department, mainly recruit familiar hands, all require more than three years of experience, a complete project experience. As for the specific positions to recruit, Lao Li, Lao Gong, Lao Min, you should each go to Xiao Bing to report. Manager Wang spread out on the nearest chair and sighed faintly, "It's not easy, but it's come this far." ”

Looking at Xu Zhuce, Li Zhucheng, Gong Zhucheng and Min Zhumei in turn, Manager Wang quoted a famous quote that Caesar said when he crossed the Rubicon.

"The dice have been rolled......"
