Chapter 386: Some Familiar Phone Numbers
Jester didn't worry too much about today's launch event, he had gone through too many release events, although this release event was a little more important than the previous ones, but because of this, Jester was able to put himself in a better position.
I've completed all my tasks before, and now is not the time for me to worry about it.
Naturally, there will be people from the distribution company who will be in charge of this.
He suddenly remembered that he had not read some of his recent interview application resumes, and it happened that he had more free time today, so he went to the personnel department to transfer these files, came to his office, poured a cup of strong coffee, and read it while drinking.
The reason why he attaches so much importance to these students who come to intern and has to review them himself is that he doesn't want to miss out on a talent.
Because he himself has the experience of interns, he also knows what kind of recruitment attitude the HR department has when dealing with interns, so he wants to show that he attaches great importance to talents from the root, so he will personally review the file and conduct interviews in person.
Some personal resumes are not so distinctive Jester generally will not pay attention to, because in the game industry, whether you want to become a planner, an artist, or a program, you must be full of personality, and whether a person has something unique can be seen from his resume.
After all, there is no such thing as a standard template resume in this day and age.
There are many people who want to come to Mars Entertainment for internships, but this time there are only two positions, and more than 300 people have submitted applications, most of them are from prestigious schools that are not inferior to the Ivy League, and of course, there are also some students from ordinary schools who apply.
On this point. Jester doesn't take it very seriously, because there are many people in Mars Entertainment who are not graduates of prestigious schools. But it's still very good.
For example, Didier, who is now officially a member of Children of Mars. Samwise.
Children of Mars is an organization founded by Jester last year, which is composed of artists and plot writers from the entire Mars Entertainment North America membership. Of course, not everyone has this qualification to become a child of Mars, only those who have made a great contribution to Martian entertainment are eligible.
So far, the entire Mars Entertainment has a team of nearly 200 people, not counting those independent studios, but the Son of Mars, so far. There were only eight of them, and Didier. Samwise is the youngest one.
He is not yet twenty years old, he was only a high school graduate before, and he didn't even go to college, but he is very talented in art, especially the ability to draw by hand, which is almost unmatched in Mars Entertainment.
One resume after another kept watching, and Jester didn't get bored. From time to time, people come to him to report real-time sales figures, which are collected from the entire North American market, and. This time, in order to satisfy players in North America as much as possible, Jester did not release it in Japan a day in advance, but only started to release in Europe three days after the release in North America, and the release time in Japan was set for a week later.
"It's only been more than 200,000 units in one morning?"
Although it was expected. But hearing this result was quite unexpected for Jester, he himself didn't expect that the sales would be so good.
A staff member of Mars Entertainment who came to report also nodded. "And a third of them are new players, which means they haven't traded in," he said. Rather, it was purchased directly from our console, and the speculation that we were worried that new players might not be happy with us may not be accurate. ā
Jester didn't say anything about it, just nodded and let the other out.
Then, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he wasn't worried on the surface, but before hearing the good news, he still had some worries.
"Huh!?"
Jester, who was looking at the large stack of resumes on the table, suddenly let out a startled sigh, and he picked up one of the large stacks of resumes that he had just been accustomed to putting next to him because of his unconditioned reflex and looked at it carefully.
This is an unremarkable resume, except for the fact that the school of the person who submitted the resume and Jester is USCLA, and the others seem to be unable to find the reason why Jester cares so much about this resume.
Only Jester himself knows that the one who is now sending his internship resume to his company is called Mike. Mo Wami, a third-year student majoring in electrical engineering at USCLA, has a lot to accomplish in the gaming field in the future.
Just two years later, that is, Mike. Mo Wymi with his college classmate Alan W. Adhan founded a small game company called Silicon & Nerve Bonds in Los Angeles, with less than 10 people in the company at the time, and later because the company's name was too tongue-twisting to be remembered, they planned to change the name of the game company to Chaos Studios in '94.
But the regrettable thing is that this name has been registered before, and the other party said that unless you are willing to pay 100,000 dollars, otherwise, it is impossible for them to give up the name of this company, and in desperation, these people at Silicon and Neural Bond at least gave up the name they like.
Later Mike. When Mo Huaimi was flipping through the dictionary, he suddenly saw a word.
He thought the word was cool, so he mentioned yƬ and changed the name of the company to the one he had just seen, and everyone voted for it.
And that word, it's Blizzard.
And the first game to put the Blizzard logo on the game box was the one that later brought them to glory, and it was also their first PC game - Warcraft.
Seeing the photo on his resume, comparing it with the image in his memory, coupled with the same UCLA electrical engineering experience, is enough for Jester not to make a mistake. Mo Huaimi, it is in his memory, created Blizzard in the future, and served as Blizzard's president until Jester crossed.
Jester then immediately picked up the phone on his desk and dialed the HR department, where he ordered the person who answered the phone in the HR department, "You guys give a guy named Mike. A UCLA student from Mo Wwaimi called and told him that he could come to us for an interview the following Monday if he wanted to. ā
As the sun went down, the sky gradually darkened.
After leaving EA headquarters at noon, Mike, who was a little depressed. Mo Huaimi had been waiting in line at the flagship store close to UCLA, but he had been queuing all afternoon, and he felt a little anxious looking at the queue in front of him, which was still more than ten meters long.
There are just too many people.
And Mike. Mo Huaimi didn't carry his old console yet, in fact, he didn't pay attention to the difference of fifty dollars, in his eyes, it was better to collect his old console as a collectible, in fact, this was a birthday gift from her, it was given to him by his ex-girlfriend, but unfortunately, he and his ex-girlfriend had broken up.
However, looking at the queue in front of him, he thought that he hadn't eaten anything for a day except for a hot dog that wasn't too big in the morning, and now he was feeling hungry. Mo Huaimi didn't wait any longer, it was better to wait for tomorrow to line up a little earlier, maybe there would be fewer people at that time.
So, he left the queue and walked listlessly in the direction of the school.
When he rushed back to the dormitory, his roommate Alan . Adhan is playing "Thor's Hammer" in a LAN that I don't know who set up, in this dormitory building, all the dormitories are connected to a LAN, and "Thor's Hammer" is almost their favorite game, up to 10 players vs 10 players battle map, as long as someone builds it, then it will be filled in less than ten minutes.
Seeing someone push the door in, Alan. Adhan hurriedly turned his head and glanced at it, and saw that it was Mike. After that, he manipulated the character while frantically pulling the trigger to mince an enemy before shouting at his roommate.
"Someone called you before, it seems to be your internship application, and a company wants you to go for an interview, but I said you weren't there, and they asked you to call this number when you come back......" Adhan threw a piece of paper at Mike. Mo Huaimi, this piece of paper has a string of numbers on it.
Extremely tired Mike. Mo Huaimi took the piece of paper, didn't even look at it, and fell on the bed.
And Allen. Adhan asked him about going to the EA interview.
Mike. Mo Huaimi didn't hide his experience and told it privately. Adhan heard it, but he was talking about Mike. Mo Huaimi is really stubborn, how can he say that his favorite is another company when he interviews with another game company.
And Mike. Mo Huaimi didn't bother to argue, he casually picked up the alan just now. Adhan still glanced at his piece of paper with a phone number written on it, and his eyes suddenly straightened.
"It seems that this number has been seen there by itself!"
Thinking of this, Mike. Mo Huaimi immediately jumped up from the table as if he had been stimulant, came to the phone book, and checked the phone number on the piece of paper. (To be continued) R655
