Johnny has a sharp face like a knife and looks like a Korean-American who values efficiency, and is used to making quick decisions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After several meetings, he proposed to start cooperating with amusement software companies by investing in investment projects. This investment cooperation method is also based on the fact that Amusement Amusement is not willing to accept equity investment at present, and it is another plan formulated. At the same time, he also asked that before they officially started working together, Amusement had to assemble a team of 12 people required for the project and set up a formal office space. This means that both Ji Wei and Chen Xiaotian will have to quit their current stable jobs, rent a renovated office, and hire eight additional talents to join the team in a short period of time. All of this is undoubtedly a huge challenge for all.

A month after Johnny's request, the Fun Four completed all of his demands and signed a demanding contract. In the contract, Hongxin New Software Company, represented by Johnny and Steiger, proposed to set project milestones, frequently and regularly review the project, and if problems are found in the project, they have the right to interrupt the project cooperation at any time, and can take away the copyright of the project with a small compensation. For the four small strong comrades with great ambitions, there is no way out at this time, and they can only move forward wholeheartedly.

Today is another milestone day for the project, also known as the Stegg Visit Day.

At 8:45, Ji Wei came to the office, and there was no one in the office except Kevin and Feng Yu.

After saying hello to Kevin and Feng Yu, Ji Wei turned on the computer, casually pushed open the window next to the table to breathe, and began to call the stinky boys one by one to confirm whether they had gone out. Although she has set the schedules of almost all the members of the company in advance, Ji Wei will give advance notice every time there are any important meetings and arrangements - those kids, especially the three stream-of-consciousness artists in the art department, still have no sense of time at all, and hovering on the verge of being late every day. Fortunately, everyone still arrived at the company at around 8:50 today, and it seems that they have all cut their hairstyles and changed their clothes, which is a new year's atmosphere.

As usual, everyone has a 10-minute morning meeting every morning to summarize the previous day's questions and confirm the day's work. Today's morning meeting was particularly long, as almost everyone today needed to show Steiger what they had done from the previous stage. So, everyone did a small drill at the morning meeting.

Less than two minutes after the morning meeting ended, Steiger appeared at the door.

Unlike Johnny, Steiger is a very cheerful-looking American, always grinning and showing a mouthful of shiny white teeth, and walking the pro-people route. Early in the morning, he opened with a big American hug to everyone as usual, and then moved to the conference room to start the discussion.

The project review seemed to be going well, with Steger smiling his trademark smile throughout, occasionally asking a question or two. On the face of it, he doesn't have any major opinions. When the team members returned to the office, and only he, Kevin, and Ji Wei were left in the conference room, Steiger put away his smile a little and moved on to today's topic.

"At the moment, I don't have much of a problem with the progress of the project. However, Johnny and I both felt that this project was more suitable for a VR platform than a mobile platform. Whether it is from the perspective of innovation and expansion in project design, or from the perspective of the market. ”

"Do you mean that Hongxin New Software is ready to change its strategic direction and start making software for the VR platform?" Ji Wei asked.

"Yes, that's what I meant." Steiger smiled and nodded, "At present, there are too many such software on the mobile phone platform, although it cannot be denied that your design still has new ideas in it, but marketing is still very difficult." The development space of the VR platform is relatively much wider, and a little check of the relevant sales figures can see that this market has huge potential. The most important point is that we all feel that if the current project is implemented in the VR platform, there will be more design space. ”

Ji Wei didn't answer immediately, she was weighing the technical difficulty and the risks that come with it, and the complete revision of the design is certainly not a trivial matter.

"However, the software to make the VR platform needs to have a development machine authorized by the VR manufacturer, which costs a lot and the process is troublesome. Kevin asked.

"You don't have to worry about this part at all, the authorization and purchase of the development machine is already in the process, and it will be done soon. But at that point, as you know, development machines are very valuable items, and once we start a VR project, we will have to leave several development machines in your office. I'm a little worried about the security conditions in your office right now......" Steiger said with a smile as he looked around.

The office is located on the eighteenth floor of a very historic and stylish building in the center of the city, with a convenient location and a well-decorated place. A British friend of Kevin's, Peter, runs an advertising agency here. Peter initially rented about 500 square meters of office space, which was divided into two separate office areas by a corridor. About 20 employees of Pitt & Co. occupy more than 300 square meters on the left side of the corridor, while more than 100 nearly 200 square meters on the right side of the corridor are leased to amusement software companies.

Ji Wei took over: "Our office area is isolated from the company opposite, and we have an independent door lock system. If you are not at ease, we can buy a safe ......"

"However, you have always rented part of another company. Instead of this, you might as well move to our company as a whole, we won't charge you a penny, you are saving a considerable amount of income. ”

"We'll think about it." Kevin replied.

"OK, back to the project. So let's take another milestone to polish the mobile version you have now. After that, we started preparing and making the VR version. During this period, Ji Wei, you have to put more thought into it and start designing projects based on the characteristics of the VR platform. Design is our top priority – and you know, it was your talent that started our collaboration. In the future, you come to our office every Tuesday and Thursday, we can discuss the design content together, and work together, what do you think? ”

"Okay." Except for this sentence, Ji Wei couldn't think of a better answer for a while.

"Good." Steger smiled and nodded, announcing the end of the first "Milestone Day" meeting after the New Year.

In the afternoon of the same day, at the four-person roundtable of Amusement and Amusement, Kevin and Ji Wei conveyed Steiger's wishes to two other important shareholders, technical director Feng Yu and art director Chen Xiaotian. Sure enough, the meeting was greeted with a wave of negative opinions.

"I don't agree with moving to their company." Chen Xiaotian was the first to jump out and object, "We are an independent company, and we should have the appearance of an independent company." Originally, it was just for them to invest in a project, but now it seems like the whole company is theirs, how can this work? ”

Ji Wei felt that he basically said his own opinion: "I also think it's a bit weird to move to their company's office." I feel that if we move over, we will basically be in a situation where we are controlled by others, and it will not be beneficial to the long-term development of the company. ”

"The upside is that we can save a lot of money and we can communicate more smoothly." Kevin said.

"Please, each of us has put so much money in the company, we don't need to save a little more. The problem of communication, how many times a week Stegg comes, you and Ji Wei run a few more times, how can it be enough. Chen Xiaotian said.

"I don't think we knew them well when we first started working with them, so it wasn't a good idea to move there. At this point, we will talk to them next time to see if we can strengthen the security facilities and measures in the current office and try to reassure them. Ji Wei said.

The other three nodded in agreement.

"Transferring a software platform is also not a simple matter. Our current staffing arrangements are entirely based on the hiring and arrangement of the mobile platform project. If we want to make the project on the VR platform, it will take time to get familiar with the program, and the risk will be higher. Feng Yu, who had been silent on the sidelines, emphasized.

"But there is no way, this project is the most important project of our company at present, and we must continue to do it. Besides, I do think that it would be nice if this project could be made on a VR platform, where we could make full use of the features of the VR panorama to extend a lot of interesting designs. Ji Wei said.

"I felt that for this platform, we needed to hire a programmer who had experience in this field. If you can find such a person smoothly, things will go a lot smoother. Kevin said.

"Hey, the budget is going up, too! I have to hire people, I have to buy computers, desks and chairs, a lot of things. You two are out there, you need to find a way to get them to add up to the investment budget. Chen Xiaotian puffed out his face.

After the meeting, Ji Wei was sitting at her desk with a dazzle, and Kevin interrupted her thoughts by knocking on the door.

"What do you think? So distracted. Kevin asked.

"I was thinking that we should expand our business in due time, and we can't hang ourselves from a tree." Ji Wei replied with a smile.

"So, tonight's regular gathering of the industry will you go to Luo? At the Merry Sand Bar, 8:30 p.m. ”

Ji Wei thought for a moment and replied, "Of course." ”
