Chapter 27: Haven't Eaten Instant Noodles Yet?
When the customer service heard Luo Xing's answer, he said with a little disappointment: "Really? Sorry to bother you, the prize money has been deducted from your personal income tax and issued to your card, please check. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Okay, thanks."
Luo Xing was depressed for a while, 10,000 US dollars in accordance with national laws and regulations, deducting personal income tax, and a lot of money less, 10,000 US dollars is converted into RMB, that is about 60,000, deducting 20% tax, that is 12,000, for the current Luo Xing, 50 yuan is a lot of money, and 12,000 yuan will be deducted, do you say Luo Xing is distressed?
hung up the phone with Tiansheng's customer service, and Ou Qing also happened to come up.
"Okay, let's have a meeting."
Luo Xing walked into the empty wooden house studio, and said with an embarrassed wry smile: "At present, I am relatively short of money, Ou Qing, I will wronged you." ”
To be honest, even though I was mentally prepared to get vaccinated in advance, I was still surprised to see a small room that served as a studio.
Seeing this, Luo Xing immediately added: "Before the big foreign companies became famous, the first games were made in abandoned garages, and there was a process from the bottom to the world giants. ”
Ou Qing nodded, smiled and said, "Well, that's pretty good." ”
"The first version of the game has been prepared, of course, there are still things that need to be modified, our first game is ....." Luo Xing paused, took a deep breath and said: "Mobile game! ”
"Mobile games?" Ou Qing was stunned and asked, "Luo Xing, don't you hate mobile games very much?" ”
Luo Xing frowned and said: "Although I personally dislike making mobile games for money, I have to recognize the reality that with our current capabilities, it is simply not enough to develop projects such as large-scale or medium-sized games." ”
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
"It's okay, you're the boss, you have the final say." Ou Qing laughed.
"Then I'll assign the task.... This mobile game is aimed at those casual players, the simpler the better, the more complicated, they can't play at all, they like to be brainless, usually these people also belong to the type of people who are stupid and have a lot of money. ”
This is the target group set by Chu Chenghao for Luo Xing, find the correct positioning, although this is not very benevolent, but everything is for the survival of the studio.
Luo Xing and Ou Qing discussed with each other, assigned the work in detail, and kicked off the prelude to game production.
A detailed task list is listed.
"So what else do we need to add? Whiteboard, computer desk and water dispenser, Ou Qing needs a pen tablet for painting, some stationery, is there any? ”
"You haven't counted the servers yet?"
"Oh, yes."
The web server is the main consumer of money, and the server is indispensable to connect to the Internet to make a mobile game.
The investment in developing a mobile game is about 1 million, after all, employee salaries and office building leasing also have to be paid, Luo Xing is fortunate for these two points, he is not worried, but he feels that Ou Qing and Nie Mao are suffering, and they want to suffer with them.
Therefore, Luoxing wants to arrange the working environment as comfortable as possible, plus water dispensers, air conditioners, coffee machines, etc., so that the office environment is relatively shabby.
After summing up a shopping list, Luo Xing immediately bought it online, and the bonus on the card just arrived, and tens of thousands of yuan were more than enough to buy these devices.
The next day, the ordered equipment arrived one after another.
Luo Xing and Ou Qing began to set up the studio, why Luo Xing and Ou Qing? With Nie Mao's character, he will not participate in this thankless action.
Ou Qing is really a top art student, and the studio is arranged in an orderly manner, warm and comfortable, with sofas, carpets and potted plants, just right blended together.
The originally empty studio immediately changed its style, and it was perfect!
"Hungry? Let's go eat. ”
After the decoration, Luo Xing and Ou Qing went to a nearby restaurant to eat, and then went to the supermarket by the way.
Luo Xing directly picked up 5 boxes of instant noodles and countless snacks.
Ou Qing said unexpectedly: "What is this?" Why do you buy so much? ”
"This is military rations! Developing a game is a long and arduous struggle, and when you're hungry, instant noodles come in handy. ”
"Oh . . . Is it? ”
When he came to the counter to check out, Luo Xing just wanted to pay, but Ou Qing took out a credit card and gave it to the cashier: "It's okay to swipe the card, two people together." ”
"Ou Qing, no need, I'll come, I'm embarrassed to let you pay the bill as a girl."
"It's okay, I'll just come. Didn't you invite me to dinner? ”
"Okay then." Luo Xing didn't force it.
That night, the game development began, Ou Qing draws, Luo Xing and Nie Mao programming, work until about 10 o'clock, Luo Xing is hungry, let's have a supper at this point.
"Ou Qing, I'm going to get instant noodles to eat, do you want them?"
Ou Qing hesitated for a moment and asked uneasily, "Can I too?" ”
"Nonsense, I bought it back for everyone to eat, so you're welcome."
Luo Xing took two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks and opened the instant noodles, Ou Qing did the same, looking at her unfamiliar technique, Luo Xing knew that it must be someone who had never eaten instant noodles much.
"Ou Qing, let me ask, have you ever eaten instant noodles before?"
"No, eh...."
"Pour boiling water into a bowl to measure that it covers the dough just right, then add the seasoning, and the sauce packet can be placed under the bowl to heat it up a bit."
"Oh, is that so?"
"yes, that's right, soak for three minutes."
Luo Xing instructed Ou Qing to cook instant noodles, while sighing that she was worthy of being the eldest lady of a rich family, and she had never eaten instant noodles.
Three minutes later, Luo Xing lifted the lid, and the fragrance came to his face.
"How? How do you feel eating instant noodles for the first time? Luo Xing asked with a smile, this experience is quite interesting, for the eldest lady.
Ou Qing took a sip of the soup, tasted it, and said beautifully: "Yes, my parents would never give me these things before." ”
"Of course, it's not nutritious after all."
"But the taste is okay, although it's not as good as Kobe's 5A steak."
"Ou Qing... You said something very hateful. ”
"Huh? Is it? ”
"Of course! How can instant noodles be compared to 5A steak? It's still Kobe beef! I haven't even eaten it! Don't say 5A, I haven't eaten 1A. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but if I have a chance in the future, let's go to Japan to eat together."
Time passed day by day, and the development of the game was well underway, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Xing went back and forth to Chu Chenghao's house and studio every day, repeating the same things day after day, and lived a fulfilling life, but it was also boring.
One afternoon, Luo Xing was walking on the way back to his residence, ready to buy groceries, and when he opened his wallet, he saw that there were only a few dollars left!
I can't help but sigh that in the process of developing the game, the producer does not have any income, so the game is not successful, does not make money, and it can easily lead to the bankruptcy of the studio.
Luo Xing went to the bank to withdraw money and check the balance, and there were only 1300 left in the whole family! That's a big deal.
As for the prize money obtained from the competition, it has already been spent, and the 800,000 debt has to be repaid, right? Do you want to give your parents at home? Do you have to pay for the water and electricity bills of the studio? Do you want to spend your own daily expenses?
"I'm going to find a part-time job, so I can't go on like this." Luo Xing pondered for a moment, he wanted to find a job with computers, after all, this was his only strength.
Luo Xing deliberately paid attention to the nearby notices to see if there were any recruitments.
"Huh? Recruit programmers, proficient in C++ and other programming languages, with a monthly salary of 8000? Luo Xing immediately came to his senses, this is obviously a position prepared for him, this salary is very high in this city.
Luo Xing stood in front of the company and read the recruitment information, then strode into the company and asked the customer service at the front desk: "Hello, are you recruiting programmers here?" ”
"Yes, the HR department is on the 2nd floor."
"Thank you."
Luo Xing quickly found the personnel department and filled out the form, but was told that there were still a few people competing for this position, but only one person was recruited, and it happened that today was the last day of recruitment, and tomorrow would be a unified assessment.
It's really lucky, I saw it a day late and missed it.
Luo Xing happily went to the market to buy vegetables, humming a song and returning to his residence.
