Chapter 640: Creed
Soon one came out of it, and without looking at the face, the Mediterranean head alone had already identified itself, and Pierce himself came. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut his appearance is also quite unique, he didn't drive or hug back and forth, but rode a bicycle. Flower shirts, linen pants, sandals, walking on the street is an ordinary citizen, you can't see the appearance of a big company executive.
Not only does he have no aura, but the parking lot inside is also a little shabby, the scale is small and the quality is not successful, the best car is a BMW trot, the car wheel is also deflated, and it is very desolate to park there crookedly. His rented big Lincoln has become a star on the field, and it feels like it stands out from the crowd.
When I entered the courtyard, I found that the building of Blizzard's headquarters was not one building, but three, arranged in a zigzag shape, not too far apart, but they were all three floors, and the color was the same, all white, and there was nothing special from the outside.
But there was something in the square between the three buildings that made Hong Tao instantly excited, it was a bronze statue of a wolf cavalry. Three or four meters tall, holding a battle axe high, baring teeth and grinning, it is exactly the same as the wolf knight in Warcraft, standing in front of it always has the urge to raise his arm to block it.
"Come on, Pierce, you must take a good look, I specially bought a DSLR in Hong Kong, will you use it?" People rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, this sentence is not wrong at all, even if Hong Tao tries to make himself not to despise the other party because of his dress, but at the critical moment, he still can't help but have this thought.
"You've made a wise choice, and if it's a camera with film, you'll be very expensive! Two ladies please, I'll be a tour guide to show you where I work. I'm also your photographer, and I'm very skilled. ā
Pierce ignored Hong Tao's ridicule, picked up the camera and fiddled, and skillfully took a few photos of Hong Tao and the three of them from different angles. It seems that he doesn't care about temporarily throwing away his position as vice president to become a tour guide.
If the wolf ride in the small square at the entrance made Hong Tao excited, then after entering the reception hall, Hong Tao's eyes were not enough, and there were more good things here. The first thing that catches your eye is the five-year sword and ten-year shield hanging on the wall, Hong Tao has heard of these two names in later generations, and there is also a fifteen-year ring and a twenty-year helmet, the four of which together are the embodiment of Blizzard's culture.
The Sword of Five Years, a sword used by humans in the game. Employees who have been with Blizzard for five years will be given a sword engraved with their name, so it is called the Sword of Five Years.
The Shield of the Decade, a metal shield for paladins. As the name suggests, anyone who has worked in Blizzard for ten years will have a shield engraved with his name in hand.
The Fifteen-Year Ring was too small to be displayed with the sword and shield, but Pierce wore it.
He didn't want to take it off and try it on for Hong Tao, the ring was made of white gold, and it was quite big. But after seeing Hong Tao's red eyes, he still took them off very reluctantly. did a full set of favors, and simply asked the staff to hand over the sword and shield to Hong Tao together, and let him take a group photo.
The Helm of Twenty Years is really just a legend, because Blizzard hasn't been around for twenty years, and that thing hasn't been made at all.
But these three pieces of equipment also envy the tourists who visited next to them, and people kept coming to Hong Tao's side to rub a piece of film, and there were also people who wrote addresses on various promotional materials and attached a ten-dollar bill, which meant that Hong Tao washed out the photos and sent them over.
In a short time, Hong Tao earned no less than fifty dollars. This is the magic of Blizzard, you don't need to act as an agent, as long as you have a little bit to do with it, you can make money in minutes. Of course, Hong Tao confiscated the money, mainly because he was embarrassed by Pierce, and only put away the leaflets with the address written on them, not only did he not make money, but he also had to take the postage and lose it!
In fact, according to Pierce, Blizzard headquarters is not something that can be visited casually, and the last Friday of every month is the open day of Blizzard headquarters. Today happens to be an open day, and the more than a dozen Blizzard fans from all over the world in the hall are lucky winners, randomly selected from the applications of fans from all over the world.
"Maybe it's Pierce's son-in-law! That's Pierce's daughter, right?" envy, jealousy, and hatred of this thing can be found all over the world, and some people among the tourists soon began to arrange the origin of Hong Tao, and it seems that this person is also very knowledgeable about Pierce, and actually knows that he has a daughter. However, her eyes were a little unpleasant, and Diane obviously did not look like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.
"Is this set of things sold?" Although he knew that the possibility was very small, Hong Tao still regarded his face as nothing, and asked this question that made Pierce very difficult.
āā¦ā¦ If I can sign a contract, I can lend you my sword and shield rings and take them back to China to make a copy. The vast majority of the game items here are made in China, and they are of very good quality. ā
Pierce was really embarrassed, not that he didn't want to send it, but that the company didn't have such a precedent. But when he encountered a skinless and faceless goods like Hong Tao, he had no choice, thought about it, and gave a compromise solution.
"That's it, I can ask Miss Craig to vouch for it, plus Ms. Qi! Why don't you give me a copy of those things, I need everything that I can!" In addition to these three things, there are many statues, figurines and other things in the hall, all of which are characters and items in the game, Hong Tao wants them all, and even does not hesitate to use Diane and Qi Rui to guarantee them.
In fact, Hong Tao licked his face like this, not because he liked it, but to find a selling point for the operation of World of Warcraft in China in the future. A large percentage of the people who play the game also like the figurines, but the molds for this thing are very laborious to make. Small factories have weak technical capabilities and can't do it, and large factories don't dare to do it for fear of becoming defendants, and the market is blank for a long time.
If you can take this opportunity to talk to Blizzard about things around the game, I can't say how much advantage it will take, but it is also a lot of income, and it will also promote the reputation of the mantis shrimp company.
But this idea should not be expressed too clearly, otherwise we will be passive in the negotiation. There is an excuse to turn what the company wants into what you want, and it will be more subtle to bring up the idea when the situation depends.
Pierce didn't see through this kind of careful thinking, in fact, it was not in the way, Hong Tao's purpose this time was to add uncertainty to the negotiations. Mantis shrimp is a bit worthless compared to Blizzard, and it doesn't have much negotiating capital, so if you talk about it step by step, it is estimated that it won't take any advantage.
Hong Tao planned to beat the master to death with a random fist, first disrupt the steps of the negotiation, and then see if he could fish in troubled waters. And he is the troublemaker, so even if it is excessive, Qi Rui and Diane can still kill their relatives in righteousness and extinguish each other's anger with their own knives.
In fact, Pierce is still very generous, and he doesn't think Hong Tao is impolite or excessive, and even expresses a certain degree of satisfaction to Hong Tao for loving Blizzard's games so much, and he will basically agree to Hong Tao's request if he can call the shots.
By the time he finished visiting the gallery and exhibition area, what Hong Tao had rubbed on could almost be pulled by a truck. Of course, Pierce was not generous enough to give the spot immediately, the promises he gave were basically false, and there was a premise, that is, the two companies had to negotiate first.
"Help me take a picture of it, this is the direction that Mantis Shrimp will learn in the future. At the other end of the hall stood a sign with eight passages and eight questions. Hong Tao looked at it carefully, and then asked Qi Rui to take down the display plate, this time he didn't make do with it, he just took a special look at the display plate.
What is written on it? It should be regarded as the eight purposes of Blizzard, and it can be regarded as the essence of their corporate culture.
Fun comes first, and all departments work together to create games that players can have fun playing.
Excellence, care and care in everything we do, seeking the most sincere advice, and in order to improve the quality of our work. So that most gamers will end up not remembering the postponement of the game, only how great the game was.
Honesty is the foundation of business, the first impression is important, but leaving a lasting impression is the most important.
Embrace your true self, no matter what your employees are passionate about, and most importantly, everyone enjoys it. It's this unparalleled passion that has shaped a rich, diverse and interesting creative culture.
Brainstorming and encouraging everyone to express their ideas, listen carefully, respect others' opinions, and embrace criticism is an important way to get great ideas.
With a global presence, we are looking for the most passionate and talented people who have walked around the world to join the team.
King's demeanor, constant pursuit of excellence and embodiment of professionalism as the best model.
Learning is endless, and with the development of science and technology, the design concept will continue to change. Continuous learning, continuous accumulation of experience, and a large number of talent training are the responsibility of the company and each employee.
Looking at the world, it seems that every large company has a set of similar things, whether it is corporate culture or corporate cohesion, anyway, the better the company that implements the slogan, the better the development, and the faster the speed of annihilation and annihilation.
Blizzard did do its best in this regard, and has not seen major changes in more than a decade, and has been following this principle. Especially the pursuit of excellence, they have almost played to the extreme, and sometimes people who are too pursuing are also hated!
In fact, our ancients also said similar things, such as freezing three feet is not a day's cold, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, dripping stones to wear, perseverance or something. However, I don't know when the essence of this national culture was thrown away by us along with the dross.
