Chapter 37 Suzhou

"Hello? A piece of ice. There was a ringing on the other end of the phone.

"Senior, what's the matter?" Jiang Yibing responded at this end.

"I heard that you have a job recently, and there is a job that I would like to introduce to you, I wonder if you can be willing to go. First of all, this is one of the top companies in the world. ”

"The best in the world? The one to the south? Jiang Yibing asked. This is a black talk in the industry, and in the well-known animation special effects studios in the United States, there are a bunch of them in the north and a bunch in the south. They don't like to be called seriously, but by the south or the north.

"Not in the United States." The senior said.

"That'...... At...... Europe? Jiang Yibing asked, and then thought that there is indeed a world-class company in Germany. However, for some reason, mainly the special effects of the last few movies they have made, are not so good, so their company is now facing a crisis.

Just like any company, if you enter a crisis, you will enter a vicious circle, firing employees, cleaning up equipment, after such a set of work, can this be a good effect? Of course not. It is very common to slide into the abyss step by step, and once the company enters this situation, it cannot be rectified by non-heavy hands. After all, if you are seriously ill, you need to use strong medicine.

"It's not ...... Forget it, I'm not kidding you, I'll tell you. The senior lowered his voice and said, "It's the Japanese one." ”

"Chiba Games Global Entertainment?" Jiang Yibing asked.

"Hmm."

"Hmm......" Jiang Yibing mused. It's true that this is the world's top special effects studio, but I don't really want to go there. Why, it has been said before, she is afraid of earthquakes. Compared to the small earthquake on the west coast of the United States, Japan has earthquakes almost every day.

She thought about living in the shaking of the earth and mountains all day long, and suddenly felt a little cold, "Senior, there is always an earthquake there, I'm afraid I won't be able to go......"

"You, why are you still like this? Japan doesn't have earthquakes every day, you're prejudiced. I think it's a good opportunity, and if you want to go, let me know, I think you can go there and check it out. I heard that they are going to establish a Jiang-Soviet branch, and it is possible to send them back to China at that time. I told you that I thought that your home was in Suzhou, so that you would not be able to go home to work, and you would not have to leave your hometown to work hard. The senior said earnestly.

"Thank you, senior, I know, let me think about it again." Jiang Yibing chatted with the senior for a while before putting down the phone, and then fell into deep thought.

In fact, going home to work can be said to be her dream for so many years. It's a pity that it's not good to learn a niche technique, and there are few places where niche instructions are needed, after all, there are only a few companies in the world that can carry out top-level special effects processing.

Well, if you get home, there are basically only two options. One is to give up this industry and go to other industries. There is another place, which is to engage in this industry in a relatively broad way.

The last time I went home, Jiang Yibing heard from my mother that it was Suzhou-Zhou that built an animation science and technology park. She felt that her daughter was doing the same thing, so why couldn't she come back to work. I heard that whose children have a monthly income of more than 20,000 yuan!

Jiang Yibing listened to his mother's nagging at that time, and even felt a little like vomiting. She's so tired of the atmosphere at home.

Everything depends on the door, and it depends on the relationship to speak. Besides, the kind of thing like the animation park exists to cheat subsidies. is like the "Story of Lei Feng" that is in production, and she hasn't seen the sample.

She wanted to ask if the person who made the animation had read the tutorial properly. It's understandable to say that the textures are poor and the special effects are poor. However, even the bone bindings are so wrong, it shouldn't be done by college students.

Alas, the quality of college students has really been getting lower and lower since the expansion of enrollment.

Perhaps, some people will say that after the Jiangsu branch of Chiba Games' global entertainment special effects department is opened, it is not enough to apply for a job. Why bother with whether or not to go to Japan?

This is different, if you first enter the Japanese headquarters and then be sent back to the Soviet Union, you may even participate in the formation of the Soviet team. This is much different from when the department has been established and you have to apply.

Of course, Jiang Yibing also knows that among foreign companies in China, the best reviews are still foreign companies in the United States and foreign companies in Europe.

The worst reputation is foreign companies in Taiwan, and slightly better are foreign companies in South Korea. The evaluation of foreign companies in Japan is basically among the other two Asian regions and European and American countries.

Why do Taiwan's foreign companies have the worst reputation, Jiang Yibing has also heard his father say it. It's because they're basically all OEM manufacturers. The production model of OEM production has a small profit, and if you are not careful, you may lose money. And the reason why their OEM model can exist is because they can be crazy exploitative, migrant workers on the mainland.

You must know that for the sake of many political matters, the mainland has actually sacrificed the interests of many ordinary people. For example, an inland city wants to build a Futukang factory. In addition to providing space and tax incentives, it is also very important to ensure an adequate supply of workers.

Some people will ask why Taiwan's foundries are mainly located in the mainland. Why not go to the Southeast, or India, where the prices are cheaper.

This is because the employees in the mainland are easy to manage.

India and Southeast Asian countries, on the one hand, do not have a large number of workers who can be put into work with a little training because of the lack of basic education. On the other hand, because they are more free and lazy, it is easy for them to say that they will not do it, and they will run half a day in the first half of the shift, which is a common occurrence. When it was time for the payroll, they showed up on time again.

What the? You say they broke the rules and didn't pay them. Well, please, it won't be long before the machines in the factory are going to be smashed.

They are not so much workers as a bunch of lazy hooligans. This is the so-called investment environment, and the so-called closed-door dog.

Since you have spent so much money to build the factory with us. If you want to go, don't you want these things? Can you afford such a loss?

Since we can't, let's just do it and continue to help us improve our employment with me. What the? You say the quality of our workers here is not good? Looking to hire foreign workers?

I'm sorry, we have something to say, you are in our country, within the range of our artillery, do you want to say it again?

What the? You say keep hiring our workers here. It's good, it's great, we're still good friends, let's drink and eat meat together.

Jiang Yibing hesitated for a few days, but finally made up his mind to fight and go to Japan. I can't be so unlucky, so I went to Japan for a while, and I was sacrificed in the shaking of the earth.

Before going to Japan, she did a lot of preparation. Since she doesn't speak Japanese, she specialized in learning some vocabulary for everyday use.

It's not about having no barriers, it's about ensuring a more humble attitude.

Isn't that what Japanese companies look like, with a bloated system and a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates?

She made another call to her senior, who gave her the phone number from Japan. She boarded a plane to Tokyo.

Although, Japan is no longer like the late eighties and nineties of the last century, it has appeared in the world as a nouveau riche, a local tyrant, somewhat similar to the image of the current Saudis.

However, Japan is still a very developed country. Get out of the airport and catch a taxi to Chiba Games Global Entertainment Animation Film Headquarters.

Jiang Yibing heard a news that made her feel very disappointed, because she replied too late, now there are enough people to recruit.

After all, for Chiba Games, they have their own system to nurture the talents they need.

However, after a middle-level saw Jiang Yibing's professional resume, he asked her to take out some samples. After reading it, I felt more satisfied, so I signed a contract of intent with her, and also helped her apply for a work visa in Japan.

In this way, she became an employee of Chiba Games' Global Entertainment Animation Film Department.

However, what she never expected was that she was dispatched to the Chiba Games headquarters before she had even worked in the Chiba Games Global Entertainment Animation Film Department for a day.

In other words, all of a sudden, she went from being a maker of animated films to a maker of games. Of course, apart from the issue of style, in fact, the two fields, the technology used, are actually almost the same.

The difference between video games and movies is that movies can be made in advance, and when the time comes, they can be directly exported to the output.

You can't do that with video games, where there are a lot of places where you need to do factual calculations. Because, the game characters are controlled by the player, and the player cannot play the game completely according to the preset logic.

It is precisely because of the player's yearning for freedom that sandbox games appeared in the end.

Hayashi was also recently involved in Chiba Games' global entertainment animation division in Jiang-Su.

In fact, the idea of building a branch in China has been around for a long time. However, where to establish it has been argued for a long time.

If what you want to do is politically sensitive, then you basically have to build it in Beijing. If it's an export-oriented type, it's basically Shanghai-Hai and Shenzhen.

In fact, as long as there is a machine, you can do it in the desert. But even if the company drove to the desert. And how many people would like to go to work?

Therefore, animation companies need to choose a place where talent is concentrated. After thinking about it, Chiba Game Global Entertainment argued for a long time, and finally chose Jiang-Su.

The reason why I didn't choose Shanghai is because of such considerations. With the development of Shanghai, the cost of opening a company in Shanghai is getting higher and higher.

Of course, this is not to say that Chiba Games Global Entertainment does not have money, even if it is in the best location. But what about the company's employees. The rent is so expensive, and the slightly cheaper ones are in the suburbs. Before going to work, the employee needs to take a two-hour subway bus to reach the company, and after work, he has to walk for two hours.

This...... Employees are able to work so well.

Although the Chiba Game Headquarters, following some unspoken rules, actually owns a few streets of residential areas and more than a dozen high-end office buildings in Shanghai. But four lines of time, this is to cash out for the high house price, although everyone knows it, but it is another thing to surface.

In the end, Jiangsu-Suzhou was chosen, on the one hand, because it was not far from Shanghai-Hai. On the other hand, compared to the relatively harsh natural conditions in the coastal areas further south of Shanghai-Hai, it is obviously more comfortable.

And here, the environment is better and the price is cheaper. In fact, Chiba Games is also capable of providing good staff accommodation.

Lin Yan needed some local people in Suzhou-Zhou out of some considerations, so there was a scene where the senior contacted Jiang Yibing.

Of course, Lin Yan didn't know who Jiang Yibing was, although Jiang Yibing had heard of Lin Yan, but he didn't know that he had entered Chiba Games Global Entertainment because of Lin Yan.

Of course, the two people didn't know that they were in the same building right now. It won't be long before there will be an intersection.

Chiba Games, a model that uses dispatch workers, is already very mature. After all, this is the best solution under the conditions of lifetime employment. Of course, this is not bad for relocating employees. Sometimes, dispatch workers are treated better than regular employees.

Although the two parties have times when they don't like each other, they are generally fine. Because, although the treatment of regular workers is sometimes not as good as that of dispatched workers, who makes regular workers have security, it is almost an iron rice bowl.

This time, a few people were transferred from Chiba Games' Global Entertainment Animation Film Division to improve Chiba Games' graphics for next-generation console games.

In fact, that's exactly what the Animated Film Division was set up in the first place. Of course, this department was later split from Chiba Games to Chiba Games' subsidiary, Chiba Games Global Entertainment, because it was more convenient to do the overall operation. After all, movies are a thing in the entertainment industry. If the Chiba Game Headquarters is allowed to operate, how can they mix into the entertainment industry in the entire game circle.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and it is very reasonable to divide it. Of course, the reason for the establishment of a branch is largely due to the convenience of management. If they are all within the first brother's company, the industries they are engaged in are still so varied, to be honest, they are not very easy to manage.

Perhaps, if Chiba Games develops again, it is possible that it will also develop a group parent company that manages all subsidiaries separately and does not engage in specific business. Of course, not yet.

Hayashi and Chiba Yuki discussed it, saying that if it was to get to this point, it would basically take another one or two decades.

After all, the total number of employees of Chiba Games is not more than 6,000, and the total number of employees in all subsidiaries is not more than 50,000. In terms of the number of employees, it is not a large company. (To be continued.) )
