Chapter 264: New Office and Expansion
Probably because the threesome side of the threesome politely handed over the Korean agency of "Six Paths", coupled with the fact that the first signing fee of the prosperous network recovered the investment cost of the studio, Director Zhao's negotiations with the company went smoothly.
Oh, by the way, at the first council meeting after the year, the representative director Xu Min fulfilled his previous agreement, gave great affirmation to the work of Director Zhao in the past six months, and nominated him to be promoted to the executive director of the R&D department and officially responsible for the daily management and business decision-making of the threesome studio.
After all, there is a project in hand that is impossible to invest in and can be profitable in the near future, and this real merit is there, even those who are prejudiced against him cannot turn a blind eye.
Therefore, he will be called Executive Director Zhao instead of Director Zhao in the future.
After being promoted, the first benefit that Director Zhao won for the studio was to expand the office area.
The existing office of the threesome studio is about 200 square meters, if it is according to the office density when I was in Hangzhou or Shencheng before, in addition to the existing one system, three planning, six programs, ten art and two translators, plus the two logistics assistants Zhao and Ruo Sakura, a total of twenty people, it is not a big problem to squeeze in and stuff in about twenty people.
However, this is Naxon's Minerva Mansion, and the pride and reserve of Korea's number one game company make it impossible for you to play such a hive stack of arhats.
Naxon is known for its comfortable and user-friendly office environment. There is a minimum limit on the per capita office space, so wouldn't it be a slap in the face if you made the office a refugee camp-like place?
Originally, it was said that after the completion of the alpha version, the studio's manpower would be expanded to match the R&D team of an MMORPG terminal game. Due to the lack of office space, it has been put on hold until now.
The first benefit that Director Zhao won was that Naxon vacated a similarly sized office next door.
As for where the original staff in the next office had gone, it was a question that no one on the threesome's side wanted to care about.
The integration of human resources of subsidiaries and branches is still ongoing. Every week, some new faces appear in the Minerva Mansion, and some familiar ones disappear. Every month, a new team is formed, or cancelled. For the members of Threesome Studio, this kind of thing has become commonplace.
As long as the department that has been laid off is not a threesome, and the staff who has been dismissed or sent abroad is not himself, then it is better to stand by and watch.
Waving a checkbook to buy another company in its entirety is a quick thing to say. However, if we really want to digest and absorb the various resources including manpower that those subsidiaries and branches originally had, so that the company's headquarters and other branches can work together and go hand in hand, it must be a long and repeated process.
All in all, the office next door, which was about the same size and a small conference room attached to it, was also classified by Naxon as a threesome studio.
Two problems then came to the threesome studio, the first was the imminent planning of the relocation, and the second was the relatively less urgent but could also be officially put on the agenda.
If possible, no one wants to waste their time and energy.
Moving from one office to another is much easier than standing still.
Because the art department occupies nearly half of the studio, there are two plans: either the art department will move next door, or the art department will remain the same, and the other departments will move next door.
Executive Director Zhao was not interested in asking about this kind of thing, and Liu Kewei didn't care whether to move or not, so he left the decision to the four supervisors to discuss it themselves.
It is said that one main policy plus two main processes, against the only main beauty, in the voting method of democratic voting, the former must be the winner.
But the results were shocking.
Ling Xingning figured out what Liu Kewei meant that the planning department should not make trouble, and let the program and art decide to go by themselves, so he hesitated for a while and chose to abstain.
By the way, from the Holy Grail Studio to the Threesome Studio, planning is the lowest department. I'm used to pretending to be a grandson in front of the program masters and art masters, and the confidence has always been insufficient.
This time is no exception.
Anyway, the program department occupies as many as two votes in one department, and even if the planning is not mixed, the ** difficult art department has nothing to win and face, right?
Then, something unexpected happened, and Cha Guanglong chose the plan to maintain the original state of art.
In the midst of Liu Suifeng's frenzied or triumphant laughter, Yuan Bin glared at his partner in disbelief and shouted in Cantonese, "What's the top cover?"
"We are from the Celestial Empire, so let's play our style for this kind of thing. Che Guanglong shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciatively.
Originally, in the studio, the voice of the Celestial Empire people was much stronger than that of Korean employees. This kind of thing, which no one is happy about, if it is pushed to the art department, may cause them to have more resistance.
This is Che Guanglong's consideration.
Isn't it just a matter of moving a nest and spending some effort and time, what's the big deal?
In the office next door, although the original people have been removed, it is conceivable that a lot of office garbage has been left behind. The necessary desks and chairs are there, but the environment is a mess.
So the planning department and the program department reluctantly began to clean the new office, and then dismantled their office computers, carried them to their new posts, and installed them one by one, followed by their own written record materials, as well as teacups, headphones, mp3s, cushions, pillows, eye masks for lunch breaks, and other strange personal belongings.
Executive Zhao has his own ** office in Minerva Building, and he left him a set of desks before the threesome, but he himself did not work here, and he would only come over when he had something, and leave when he was done.
Liu Kewei, Ruo Ying, Assistant Zhao and the two translators did not move into the new office. In the space vacated by planning and procedures, a small area of project management office was demarcated, and the desks of several of them and Director Zhao were moved.
This also means that Liu Kewei will gradually withdraw from the specific work of the planning department.
After moving the office, it's time to get busy with the expansion.
In the past, there was no recruitment due to office space, but it does not mean that the supervisors do not have their own ideas and actions.
Take the planning department as an example, Liu Kewei contacted two of his former colleagues in Pengcheng early, and when the time was right, he resigned to take over the two major planning tasks of the level and value he was responsible for.
In other words, the level team leader and the numerical team leader have been finalized, and as for the candidate for the executive plan, it will be handed over to Ling Xingning to check.
After the New Year, it means that you have received the year-end bonus of the previous year. It's a good time to change jobs, and within a week or two, there are a lot of new faces in the threesome studio.
The leader of the level team, Li Youxi, is from the Leizhou Peninsula like Yuan Bin, and looks quite like the famous Japanese actor Abe Kuan.
Liu Guanghui, the leader of the numerical team, is a native of Texas, of course, not Texas, but the Texas in Lu Province.
The former is a ** man, before coming to South Korea, he broke up with his girlfriend except for a few years, and on the first day of entering the company, he said that he was welcome to introduce the beauty to him who was in the window period.
The latter dragged the family with his mouth, oh, he was wrong, he only dragged the family without his mouth, and his daughter-in-law also came, but he left his son in his hometown in Lu Province for his parents to take care of.
There is relatively no threshold for executive planning, if you do not require work experience, you can have a bachelor's degree, it doesn't matter what the specific major, the only requirement is to be able to speak Chinese.
Ling Xingning was in charge of the recruitment, with assistance from Ruoying and Zhao Minlong.
Most of the executive planners are fresh graduates, including international students from the Celestial Dynasty in Korea, Koreans who graduated from the Chinese Department, and Korean overseas Chinese who are not from the Chinese Department. The only exception is the girl named Ha Xiujing in the copywriting team, who worked as a copywriter in the marketing department of Naxon for two years.
This copywriting planning is not the other copywriting planning, which is completely different from the nature of Duan Shanshan's work, and the copywriter of the marketing department is mainly responsible for writing promotional and promotional soft articles, so the two-year work experience can be said to be none.
The river girl's mother is of mixed British and Hong Kong descent, and her father is Korean. As a result, she is fluent in Korean, Chinese, Cantonese and English, and has become a language expert in the studio.
Supposedly, in terms of her ability, it is obvious that the most suitable arrangement is to go to the translation team. However, according to her own words, she was tired of staying in the marketing department for two years and wanted to try new challenges, so she applied for the R&D team. Out of respect for personal wishes, she was stuffed into the copywriting team.
Unlike the previous Sophie of the Holy Grail Studios, this is a different type of mixed-race beauty. She is not as hot and straightforward as Sophie, but rather elegant and reserved in words and deeds, with her tan eyes and fair skin, she is like a court lady who came out of a medieval oil painting.
The side effect of this sister paper joining the team is very significant, that is, the singles of the whole studio run to the planning department at both ends for three days, and several executive planners even revolve around the copywriting team all day long, which makes Duan Shanshan quite disturbed.
By the way, when she introduced herself, she said that her nickname was Milk Tea, and she preferred to be called her like that.
After these three and four other executive planners joined the studio, the establishment of the planning department reached as many as 10 people, and the programming department and the art department also had a corresponding number of newcomers joined. Threesome Studio now has more than 50 regular employees, at least it seems to have the size that a terminal game R&D team should have.
On the other hand, the game soundtrack and the arrangement of "Burning Heart with Fire" are close to or basically completed, and when he was young, he took over the first product endorsement from the Japanese market, and the whole team rushed to Japan for several days, and the cover will naturally have to wait for them to come back, so Duan Shanshan has not reported to S.M. company this week.
On February 27, Kim Yeon-pyeong called and said that he was back when he was young, and Taeyeon's lyrics pronunciation should be familiar with it, so let's hurry up and record it while I have some time in the past two days......
p.s. was dragged by my sister and brother-in-law today to watch the afternoon session of "Looking for the Dragon", and the guide was a little late for the update, sorry everyone.
The super cast of the three emperors and two queens, what kind of thing did they shoot, the logic is so far-fetched that you don't want it, you really can't complain.
