05. Pour chicken soup for the soul 2

In the small conference room of Filipino Company, all the staff, including the step possibility, sat around the oval conference table. And Liu Zifu and Mr. Liu sat on the rostrum.

It was quiet in the conference room, and you could hear a pin drop.

Liu Zifu took out a mobile phone from his pocket and raised his hand above his head. This is not a common Pingguo brand mobile phone, but a domestic Huawei brand P9 series.

"Do you have anyone like me who also uses flowers as mobile phones?" Mr. Liu asked out loud.

No one expected that the formal meeting in the company would be such an opening statement. Step may have froze suddenly. He also has a Huawei M8 in his pocket. Just as he was thinking about whether to make a sound, three or two colleagues had also taken out the Huawei series of mobile phones and held them up.

"Yes." A few people answered out loud.

"Good. Congratulations to all of you, you have the same eye for quality and the same patriotism as I do! Domestic products are glorious, foreign goods are shameful! Mr. Liu said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, a burst of applause broke out in the conference room, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Some people are born with the charisma to lead. Often he only needs to talk a few words, and he can easily adjust the emotions of others.

"Ten years of sharpening a sword! I am very responsible to tell everyone here that Huawei's P9 mobile phone is a mobile phone with a high character ratio on the market, and more importantly, it is 100% purely domestic, and even the most important chip components are developed by themselves. Mr. Liu continued to talk eloquently.

"Why is Huawei company able to make such excellent products? There's one thing we all need to know. In 2014, the company invested 40.8 billion yuan in R&D, accounting for 14.2% of the sales revenue of that year. In our country, where everything is quick to do, this is one of the few companies that has a long-term vision. The so-called accumulation of everything is the real way of business management. ”

"It has been two years since the Filipino online game company was established, but at present, the R&D department does not have a star product that can be used. I'm not in a hurry to do this, and I'm not in a hurry to launch immature, shoddy products. I need everyone, especially all the staff of the planning department, to carefully study the existing online game products on the market, find out their advantages and disadvantages and the future fashion trends of the market, and then find a new breakthrough that kills you with one blow. ”

"I'm busy today, so I won't talk to you more. By the way, a brand new Hollywood blockbuster has just hit theaters tonight. Here I give all the staff a movie ticket, you can go and see it, relax your brain. ”

"Behind closed doors is not the right way to do things, inspiration needs a specific external environment to trigger instantaneously. Isn't the law of gravitation inspired by Newton when he happened to pass under an apple tree? ”

Mr. Liu quickly said a lot of words. Just when everyone thought he was going to talk for at least half an hour, he quickly slammed on the brakes and ended the meeting. Then, he pulled out a large stack of movie tickets from his small leather bag.

When the applause rang out, some employees were whispering: "What kind of film?" ”

"The famous sci-fi film "Independence Day 2". Mr. Liu said, and then handed out the movie tickets, one for each person.

Step may not help but be a little surprised when he hears this. This is a famous old movie from 20 years ago, a super sci-fi blockbuster that is unforgettable after watching it. Unexpectedly, after so many years, its sequel is finally out.

"Well, to add that, I personally really appreciate the classic scene in the first part, where computer expert Jeff Goldblum, inspired by his father, came up with the classic scene of attacking the flagship of the alien headquarters with a computer virus. The Filipino company's online game development tasks and lofty goals may seem daunting, but perhaps all of you are missing is a flash of inspiration. So, I hope you all take a good look at this movie, maybe you can also be inspired. Mr. Liu said with a smile.

That night, Bu may and his colleagues went to watch this "Independence Day 2" with great interest. It's a pity that this sequel is just a big show of special effects, but it is too much weaker than the first part in terms of plot logic, and there are too many places that are difficult to justify.

Naturally, the step may not have found anything sudden inspired.

After returning to the staff apartment in the company, Step may have found the original first part on the Internet and revisited it. Especially the part where Mr. Liu mentioned that human beings found the weakness of aliens and then ventured deep into the enemy's lair to launch a full-scale counterattack, he focused on it many times and seemed to be thoughtful.

The film seems to reveal a scientific philosophy: the enemy seems to be incomparably strong, but it does not mean that there is never a way to deal with it. The special game planning requested by Mr. Liu may also be completed.

Time flies, time flies.

Soon more than two months passed, and it was the beginning of June.

Every day can be a busy one. Because, he has to learn and research a lot of popular games on the market. The first is to try the game, and then to extract the characteristics of each game, such as map system settings, weapon settings, character systems, battle team settings, and so on. Then, it's time to analyze why they're so popular with players.

It is especially important to look at each game from a relatively neutral position, and to experience the God's vision of "looking horizontally as a peak on the side of a ridge, with different heights and heights", or a third-party neutral observational vision.

I have to say that simply playing a game and studying the rules of operation of the game are two different things. If you just play, it's completely out of your heart, and you can do it as you please. The focus of research is very different, and the purpose is more to distinguish between good and bad. More importantly, it is necessary to study the various trends of mass psychology and behavior of different groups of players, as well as the psychology of voluntary consumption.

When he woke up from a relatively short-term addiction, he realized that half of his colleagues in the game planning department were gone, and they had all left. And the countdown sign on his desk shows a big 68 lettering. This means that he doesn't have much time left in the job.

Over the past few days, Bu may have compiled a large number of work notes, and has roughly had his own set of personal ideas in his heart. Unfortunately, these ideas are a bit fragmentary, like a swarm of grasshoppers bouncing around. He lacked a key rope to tie them all together.

To put it simply, there is still a lack of a final kick.

The planning department where Bu may be located is always roughly maintained at a total size of about ten people. When the old planners leave, new planners will be added. Most of them are young people, some are quite experienced old game company employees, and some are complete college graduates and newcomers, just love online games.

Unconsciously, Step may have become an old man in this planning department. In front of him, there were only two employees left with older qualifications than him. One of them, the countdown sign has only the words 25 days left. His surname is Cai, he is proficient in many popular games, and he is a kind person with a humble attitude. During the time when he was a colleague, he and Bu may communicate the most, and the two also lived in the same company apartment, which was a little friendly with each other.

That afternoon, when Bu may have communicated with Xiao Cai about a game visual view, he found that Xiao Cai was actually crazy playing a popular "Plants vs. Zombies" on the market. He played the first generation of Pool Guardian Endless Edition, and he had actually played more than 300 levels.

This is a realm that can only be achieved by the top masters. Xiao Cai is an experienced game planner who can skillfully apply the appropriate restrictive rules and then accurately identify the various strategies for clearing the game.

On Xiao Cai's desk, all kinds of documents and materials are piled up very scattered, looking out of order. His person also looked very unattractive, not only with dark eye sockets, but also with dull eyes.

"It's more than 300 levels, is there any need to continue playing?! Brother Cai, are you going to give up this job?! "Step may have a little sour in his heart. As a friend, he was able to roughly understand Xiao Cai's mind from Xiao Cai's decadent work state.

Xiao Cai paused the game in his hand, turned around, stared at Bu Possible with blank eyes, and said weakly:

"From West Fantasy to East Fantasy, I have provided Mr. Liu with a total of four different schemes, none of which can get Mr. Liu's special favor. Maybe I'm just a little bit of a learner, and I really can't offer anything more! ”

"What else?! There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here. Xiao Cai reluctantly laughed at herself.

Ayumi reached out and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, showing understanding and support. Then, he also showed a wry smile.

As a colleague, he has seen some of the design plans after Xiao Cai was vetoed by Mr. Liu. Although it has not been able to jump out of the shadow of popular games on the market, and it feels a bit of a hodgepodge, there is no doubt that some of those plans are very novel and detailed.

Step may even feel that the game copywriting he does his best may not be much better than Xiao Cai.

Perhaps, Xiao Cai's today is his own tomorrow!

I don't have much time left on the job!

The two people who were talking to each other were suddenly interrupted by Dong Xiaowan who came from another office. She happily announced one thing:

"Attention to all employees: Mr. Liu said that at half past six in the evening, he invited all employees to have a dinner, and hoped that everyone could participate. Location: Food stalls at Tiantian Fishing Port. ”

This is not the first time Mr. Liu has invited everyone to dinner. This location has probably been there a few times. It is located on the road near the perimeter wall of a senior high school. Overall, the restaurant is not too stylish, but the ingredients are fresh and the chef's cooking skills are top-notch.

As the saying goes, the people live on food. If employees don't eat well enough, they usually don't work too well.

Such a profound philosophy, only a senior successful person like Liu Zifu will often maintain such a profound understanding.

Whether a person can achieve great success in his career is usually related to some small details.
