The fat man covered his forehead with his hand and showed a wry smile.
How could he be wishful thinking that the girl would remember him only once yesterday, and even remember what drink he ordered yesterday?
Pizza Hut is doing so well that people are now lining up to order food.
How many customers do you have to serve in a day? How can you keep track of everyone?
It's that I unconsciously exposed the mentality of being too self-conscious and taking myself too seriously.
"Uncle Duan, are you attracting the attention of beautiful women in this way?" Wakazakura asked narrowly, "I really can't see it." β
The fat man glanced at Mi Hong, who lowered his head to record the order, and the girl's face turned red again.
"Ah, where, where, I'm just too lazy to look at the menu. The fat man explained sneeringly, "I didn't think too much about it for a while, so I just said it in passing." β
"To explain is to disguise, and to disguise is to have something to do. Liu Kewei beside him made up for it hatefully.
The fat man closed his mouth and stopped talking, and he could only paint more and more black.
Meals and drinks were delivered one after another, eating and drinking, and several people chatted about game development.
"As far as I know," Liu Kewei said casually, "only two or three of the 100 domestic game projects will survive." β
"Well, that's pretty much it. Che Guanglong took a knife and cut the pizza into eight pieces, nodded in agreement, "It's not easy to do this business!"
"How so?" asked Wakazakura, her eyes wide and curious.
Liu Kewei picked up a piece of pizza and took a bite, nodded with satisfaction, and said vaguely: "It tastes good." β
After swallowing the piece of pizza, he took a sip of milk tea and cleared his throat and continued: "Almost 90% of the projects that died in the research and development process, and among the ten models that were finally made, it would be good to have two or three of them make money." But I can really make a money-making game, and the profit is still very high, and after I finished the previous project, my boss directly bought the office building. β
"Yes, why do they say that there is a lot of turnover in the game industry, it's because every day teams are disbanded, new teams are created, and there are job hopping and poaching to change careers, and that's it. Che Guanglong sighed.
"Is it that hard to make a game?" asked the fat man puzzled, "As far as I know, there are two husbands and wives in Turkey who made a game at home, which was loved by many players, and was later acquired and distributed by the Swedish company Paradox, and then it was widely sought after, which is the famous "Mount and Blade", and I also bought the registration code for the original version of this game and the warband version." β
"I've also played it, and this game is really good," Che Guanglong nodded and said, "But this is a stand-alone game, and it's made abroad, which is different from our domestic situation." The domestic game development situation is indeed similar to what Lao Liu said. β
"It's impossible to stand alone.,Because of national conditions.,Piracy, cracking, illegal resource downloads.,There's basically no way to live, everyone understands.γ Liu Kewei folded his hands and said, "Let's just say that in the area of online games, half of the projects that died in the research and development process were due to technical problems, and more than half were because of the intrigue within the R&D team." β
"It's not that simple," Che Guanglong shook his head and added, "A lot of it is a problem of divergence in the direction of production, for example, if you plan to do this, after our program is made, the producer sees the actual effect and thinks it's not good, so he changes it; then when the investor comes to the acceptance, he is not satisfied and continues to change; before the online operation, the operator feels that it is not right here and needs to be adjusted, and then changes; and finally the online test, according to the feedback of the players, they are generally dissatisfied with the place, so they still have to change endlessly...... In the process of changing and changing, there will be all kinds of problems, and if you can't hold on, you will be disbanded. β
Liu Kewei sneered, "In a team, there will always be all kinds of people and all kinds of ideas, treatment, right to speak, position, ......'where there are people, there are rivers and lakes'! And everyone has a relative and close, and each team is usually divided into several circles, and the disputes between circles are even more complicated." β
"It's really ......" The fat man pursed his lips and swallowed back what he wanted to say, "Is this the case with our company?"
"There must be a circle," Liu Kewei nodded, "But the dispute is not visible yet, after all, the project has just started, and the team has just been formed." β
"Hey, aren't the most influential circles in the company now Manager Wang, Manager Bing, Lao Liu, Lao Cao, and Xiao She?" Che Guanglong pointed at Liu Kewei and smiled, "Who doesn't know that you all came out of the same company before." β
"Xiao Bing can't be counted", Liu Kewei shook his head and said, "He is engaged in human resources, and he will not participate in R&D work, as for me, Lao Cao, and Xiao She, they are just pawns who can't be put on the table, only to work hard, and when several bosses in the company have a meeting behind closed doors, they will definitely not bring us." β
"And our Xu Zhuce and Gong Zhucheng at your front desk used to be from the same company. Liu Kewei thought for a while and continued, "And your backstage Li Zhucheng and Min Zhumei seem to have been colleagues. If you want to talk about circles, these two circles are more influential, right?"
The fat man was stunned: "What is the front desk and back office? Isn't the front desk of the company Wakasakura?"
Liu Kewei, Che Guanglong and Ruoying were stunned, and they all leaned forward and backwards with laughter, and Ruoying even lay on the table and covered her lower abdomen and laughed so much that her stomach hurt.
"The client-side and server-side of the company's programs, also known as the front and back office, each have a master program. Che Guanglong explained, "I am on the server side, our main Cheng is surnamed Li, and there is also a master Cheng surnamed Gong on the client side." β
"Anyway, that's it," Liu Kewei summed it up, "At present, the main circles in the company are these three, Manager Wang on the side, Xu Zhuce and Gong Zhucheng on the side, Li Zhucheng and Huang Zhumei on the other." However, they used to be friends, and the relationship should be good, otherwise they wouldn't have started a company together. β
"I don't understand what you're saying!" wakazakura grumbled, rubbing her forehead, "aren't they all colleagues? β
Che Guanglong comforted her: "It's normal that you don't understand, it's something that men only think about, and girls really don't need to pay attention." β
ββββββββ meet again, I'm the dividerββββββββ
On Sunday morning, the fat man slept as he did yesterday.
When I woke up, Che Guanglong and Wakazakura, who had gone out shopping early in the morning, had already returned.
The fat man was woken up by a peculiar smell, and he saw that Liu Kewei on the opposite bed was still snoring, so he got up.
"What smells so bad?" the fat man grumbled as he walked into the living room.
On the sofa, Wakazakura is holding a strange-shaped fruit and eating it deliciously.
"This is the taste of durian, it's delicious, Uncle Duan, do you want to have some?" said Wakazakura with a grin.
"Thanks, this smells horrible. The fat man covered his nose, "I was woken up, do you still have a little sense of public morality, beauty? This is environmental pollution, environmental pollution!"
"Cut!" Wakazakura scoffed.
"What are you doing with this thing?" the fat man asked strangely, looking at Che Guanglong, who was fiddling with a transparent plastic box.
The car replied without raising the faucet: "I don't like to eat mustard in the supermarket, and I plan to order kimchi by myself." β
The fat man smiled: "Are you really not Korean? You can even make kimchi yourself." β
"Fuck off. Che Guanglong scolded with a smile, "If you joke again, you won't be allowed to eat it at that time." β
"Strange, why are there only four of us in the dormitory every time?" the fat man suddenly remembered something, "Aren't there still three or four colleagues living here? β
"It's because you're getting up too late, okay!" Wakazakura sneered, "My roommate went to her girlfriend to go shopping, and a few boys seemed to go to West Lake early in the morning to play, only you and Lao Liu, two big lazy worms, slept until noon every day." β
The fat man had nothing to say, so he slipped into the bathroom to wash.
"What do you eat at noon?" asked the fat man as he walked back to the living room after cleaning up.
"I ate it before I came back with Wakasakura. However, we bought some bagged dumplings in the supermarket and put them in the refrigerator, and if you and Lao Liu don't dislike it, we can cook them and eat them ourselves. Che Guanglong gave a suggestion.
"Great!" shouted the fat man, "my favorite thing to eat is dumplings." β
"Uncle Duan, do you have any more pursuits?" Wakazakura threw over a pair of white eyes, "Do you like to eat dumplings the most? β
The fat man said: "This is the difference between southerners and northerners! I bet Lao Liu and Che'er must also like to eat dumplings, don't believe you to ask them. β
"Come on, your accent ......" Che Guanglong dismantled the stage, "Don't say that Lao Liu doesn't admit it, I feel that you can't be regarded as our northerners when I hear you speak!"
The deliberate use of "you" on the one hand is to highlight the pure northern accent, and on the other hand, to indicate that the line is to be drawn. Otaku fat people are not stupid, they will understand it after thinking about it.
"Che, you should be more lustful than friends," the fat man shot back with a wicked smile, "If talking about things with my accent can help you get closer to Wakasakura, I'll admit it." β
"Hey, Uncle Duan, don't talk nonsense!" Ruo Sakura, who was originally smiling, suddenly became anxious, "It's not good to spread it!"
Che Guanglong also blushed, and complained helplessly: "Old Duan, why do you say that." β
The fat man ignored them, whistled the tune of "Yang Hua", took out the dumplings from the refrigerator and went to the kitchen.
While boiling water, he asked Liu Kewei to get up and wash.
When the dumplings were cooked, the two of them ate them slowly.
"The taste is average, not as good as what I make at home. The fat man commented.
"You can also make dumplings?" asked Liu Kewei.
"Cutting stuffing, mixing noodles, rolling skins, and making dumplings, I am full of these four talent points!" The fat man boasted unashamedly, "Or how can I say that I am an SD person and not a FJ person, when I am at home, I will make dumplings every week or two." β
"Don't just talk and don't practice!" Liu Kewei nodded, "Let's try your craft next weekend!"
