NO.29.II: THE CLUES THAT APPEAR IN OBSERVATION
The office location of Perfect Time and Space is in an office building that does not look gorgeous, and the floors are not dozens of stories high, which is extremely low-key.
Of course, the current perfect time and space is not famous, and not many people in the industry even know its name, but for Shen Yang, this is a historic meeting.
No matter how much Shen Yang was fascinated by the perfect time and space in his later life, but now is the first time he has actually come into contact with it.
It didn't take long for Shen Yang to find here, the reception at the front desk was very polite, and he heard Shen Yang say that he was here to apply, and he was directly led to a reception room.
After entering the company, Shen Yang was observing, what a game company is like Shen Yang has never seen, the first game in Perfect Time and Space in his memory, Perfect World has not yet been developed, so it is still the very beginning of research and development.
From the first glance of entering the perfect time and space, Shen Yang silently observed, from the layout of the department furnishings in the office building to the current activities of the company's employees.
The technical department, the game planning department, and the art department, at present, there are only these three main departments, the customer service department and the operation department are vacant, and it is a little cluttered here, and the clutter is because there are so many people.
One of the major characteristics of Internet companies is that a lot of work is done on computers, such as now, programmers stare at the screen full of code, deaf to the silence and noise outside.
The game planner is writing the game settings, next to it is an artist girl who is silently drawing, at first glance, the perfect time and space left a good impression on Shen Yang, very fulfilling, busy and not impetuous.
"You're here to apply, aren't you?"
It wasn't until a slightly familiar voice came from the phone that Shen Yang withdrew his eyes looking around and stared at the HR director in front of him.
"Hello, I'm Shen Yang."
Shen Yang did come to apply, but he was not ready to work here, he came here this time to explore the reality, to be precise, he should be doing research, and did not have the idea of formally meeting with the general manager of Perfect Time and Space.
Game planning sounds like a general idea, but the job is to write the game's backstory, formulate the rules of the game, design the game interactions, calculate the game formula, and all the details of the entire game world.
There is no corresponding major in this position, so it requires a lot of game experience, and many senior planners have played a lot of games, and their knowledge is not only from a few industry books, but also from personal experience.
Shen Yang has never worked in game planning, but he has played a lot of games, and he is no stranger to game planning.
For now, Shen Yang's purpose in applying for this position is just to come and visit and get close to the perfect time and space company, but now he must start and finish.
It was not clear on the phone that the position Shen Yang applied for was actually a game copywriter.
He is generally responsible for the design of the text content in the game, including but not limited to the world view structure, main and side quest design, career item descriptions, local text polishing, etc., which are known through Shen Yang's classmates.
Therefore, after a short written test, Shen Yang began the interview session.
After a few years, domestic games have made great progress compared to before, but compared with later generations, they are not half a star.
You can imagine how much it can develop in the era of online games or electronic ******, and it is obvious that every progress it has made is so valuable.
Perfect World, as a popular RPG game, Shen Yang has played it for a while, so during the interview, Shen Yang can answer just right, and the answer is more in line with the interviewer's requirements.
The interviewer was a senior game planner, and when he found that many aspects of Shen Yang's answers coincided with the game he was planning, he was obviously a little moved.
Shen Yang and the interviewer had a very happy conversation, and the memories from later generations made Shen Yang stand on the shoulders of giants, and his answers were full of prophetic flavor, and many things made him refreshed.
"Can I take a tour?" At the end of the interview, Shen Yang made this somewhat excessive request, and his words were earnest and seemed to be impossible to refuse.
In the end, the interviewer agreed, but the scope was only limited to the planning department, and there were people who led the whole process, and he was only merciful, because this itself was not open to outsiders.
Shen Yang can understand that there are also spies between companies, which is a normal means of defense.
In the interview just now, Shen Yang knew a lot of information about Perfect Time and Space, such as that it was only created in March this year, and it has not been more than four months now, which is the time when there is a shortage of people.
In my memory, Perfect World was launched in 06, which means that in the next year and a half, Perfect Time and Space will be developing games, and they have been burning money without any income.
If you start investing now, it will take two years to get a return at the shortest, and two years is a bit long as an emerging investment company.
As a newly formed company, Perfect Time and Space definitely has another source of funding, otherwise it would not be possible to stick to it.
Although the game is very profitable, it must burn money in the early stage, so who is its financier, Shen Yang thought about this question.
Accompanied by a planner, in the planning department, Shen Yang observed the development progress of the game.
When the game was developed, it ran as a whole, and the graphics and music were interactive, but the process behind it was boring.
Waiting to observe and play, Shen Yang came out of the perfect time and space, and walked on the road thinking about the question just now.
It is now certain that in the next year and a half, Perfect World will be developed, which will not only become famous in China, but also sell well all over the world as one of the few game export companies.
The perfect time and space in 06, when it had grown into an excellent game company, there were many people who wanted to invest in it, but it was listed on the NASDAQ in 07.
From the observation just now, Shen Yang found a lot of problems, although Perfect Time and Space had just been established, it did not have a grassroots atmosphere, on the contrary, the funds were relatively sufficient and abundant.
Walking on the street, Shen Yang began to call Luo Zhiwen's phone.
"Immediately investigate the background of Perfect Space, the full name is Perfect Spacetime Network Technology Co., Ltd., the company's location is in BJ Zhongguancun, founders, shareholders, affiliated companies, and cooperative companies, these will be investigated as soon as possible, and I will see the report at eight o'clock in the evening."
As the boss of the company, Shen Yang only needs to give orders, and after the task goes down, someone will naturally deal with it, and the company will pay them a salary, of course, let them do things.
Hanging up the phone, Shen Yang silently said sorry to the interviewer just now, and then Lan Yi took a taxi and left.
As the sun sets, Zhongguancun is shrouded in haze, slightly obscure and dim.
