Chapter II: Prohibition of Non-Competition Contracts
There is a saying that the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual.
In a sense, Xiao Chubby Dun can be regarded as Lin Yan's student. However, the number of people who can be Lin Yan's students in video games has started quite a bit.
Not to mention those in the video game alliance, even these people in Chiba Games can basically be counted as his apprentices.
However, there are very few people who show the same level as Little Fat Dun, and most of them are just some who can only follow the rules and complete their tasks.
There is a saying that everyone is a genius. I'm not a genius now, and I haven't shown a genius in my life, probably because I chose the wrong industry.
A genius who can move bricks in fancy ways may not be able to become a game tycoon, but he chooses the game industry.
Lin Yan also sighed a little, if he didn't have the advantage of foresight, he knew a lot of knowledge that people don't know now. It will take a long, long time to really learn how to make games from the present era, and to get yourself to the height that Chubby Dun is now.
The catalpa tree that helped Chubby Dun compose the music has been exposed in the company. Although, Murakami helped him cover it up, but who made the name of Catalpa tree clearly written in the list of producers on "Saloma Snake", in the composition item.
However, it seems to be a little different from the imaginary situation where you are found to be expelling for private work.
It was Catalpa himself who submitted his resignation, and the boss, who had always been very proud, asked Catalpa to stay in the company in turn.
The owner of the catalpa tree, who is not tall, wears a suit. It looks a little funny, he said. "Catalpa, I know our company is small. I can't leave you as a great god. However, I still want to ask you to stay in the company, you are out of the company now, but don't forget, the platform you took off from is in the company.
I remember when you first came to the company, you, like most people, had only a vision for video games, but no concrete concept. You are all in my eyes. Little by little, it grew up from nothing.
I know that many people, including you, are very opposed to this kind of game-making culture in the company, which makes people feel like they are copying.
But you have to think about it, too. What kind of level did you have when you first came to the company? If you just let you make an original game, maybe the company has gone out of business now.
You also know that the purpose of copying is not copying. Imitation is just for better learning.
Now that you're in the background, I'll let you lead a team and make a game on your own. The whole company, whoever you want, I will give you whomever you want. How much money you want, as long as it is within the scope of what I can afford, not a penny will be less than you.
How, do you think about it? ”
The owner usually looks. Not a man with a lot of words, but. Judging by his performance now, it's just a chatter.
Catalpa didn't pick up the resignation letter returned by his boss. He said calmly, "I know that the company has a kind of cultivation for me, and I don't want to lead a group of people in the company to make truly original games." However, I don't think it's okay now, and I find that I still don't know a lot of knowledge, so I hope you will allow me to quit my job and make a game at the company when I finish my studies. ”
Whoever a person comes into contact with will affect his vision. There is no personality that can be independent of the world. The character of all people is actually influenced by the environment.
Catalpa Shu is composing music with Little Fat Dun these days, and he knows that in his opinion, the already powerful Little Fat Dun also has a "master".
Catalpa tree in order to better understand the content of the game, better soundtrack. Ask Chubby Dun why the level is designed like this, and why the image is like this.
Little Fat Dun always couldn't help but quote the words of a person named Lin Yan, in his opinion, these words quoted by Little Fat Dun were really enlightening to him.
He asked again later, and found out that this Lin Yan was the father of Japanese video games, the designer of "Space Invaders", the designer of the red and white machine, and the designer of "Super Mario".
Catalpa Shu listened to the little fat dun talk about all the games that Lin Yan had made, and he really felt a burst of jealousy in his heart.
Why haven't I met such friends?
This is the one thing that Catalpa thinks about the most.
When he knew that Chubby Dun had been making the game for about the same time as himself, this idea intensified.
What kind of people you are with, what kind of level you will have. He usually feels that working with people in the company is very slow to improve his level.
Little Fat Dun didn't care, the jealousy that Catalpa showed at this moment, he only cared about Senior Sister Chiba, and didn't care about other people.
He agreed to Catalpa Shu very well and introduced him to Lin Yan.
The dissatisfaction of the catalpa tree naturally disappeared completely.
For Xiao Chubby Dun, a young man who looks chubby, he has more good feelings.
The boss's two elbows, pestle on the boss's table, ten fingers crossed, head on hand, stared at the catalpa tree in a stunned manner for a while, saw his clear conscience eyes, saw his resolute expression, knew that he couldn't persuade him to change his mind.
He said with a little loss, "Then you go, I hope you can remember this time in the company." ”
The boss brushed up, signed his name on the resignation letter, and said, "You take this and go to the finance office to get your salary." There is an opportunity to work together again. ”
After the boss finished speaking, he stood up and shook hands with the catalpa tree.
Although he looked open-minded on the surface, he was a little melancholy in his heart, and he suddenly asked, "Where is your next company?" ”
"Chiba games." Catalpa said.
The boss looked at the back of the catalpa tree closing the door, and his mind was a little messy. He was not surprised that the Catalpa tree went to the Chiba game.
Chiba games' requirements for third parties can be described as harsh,Now even the third party is not letting go,Is it,Is the third-party manufacturer just a vassal of Chiba games?
Slightly worse game don't? Poaching all the good talents?
The more the boss thought about it, the more cold he felt, he picked up the phone, dialed the law firm he often worked with, and said, "Please help me design a new contract that prohibits competition." ”
He thought that the video game industry was growing so fast that a year ago there was only one arcade machine, and a year later, the number of arcade home consoles of all kinds was almost 10 million.
With such a fast-growing industry, the changes are also very huge. Drawing up a contract with a ban on competition, even if the period of employment of a static peer is only two years, is a very serious restriction.
Just because you're good now doesn't mean you'll be able to keep up with the trend in two years' time. (To be continued......)
