Chapter 11 Herring Network

Funan Software Park is located in the south of Funan City, based on the government's strong support for the software industry, and was officially put into operation in 2005.

The first phase of the software park has been allocated more than 200,000 square meters, which has been delivered and turned into two large areas, A and B, and a large number of well-known foreign and domestic enterprises have settled in, and so far nearly 100 enterprises have taken root or established subsidiaries here.

A large number of small local enterprises have also emerged, here, through the government's support policies, not only can enjoy rent subsidies, tax reductions, special support funds, and even senior management and technical personnel of software companies can also apply for special management bonuses for senior talents. These preferential policies are to attract a large number of software companies and senior talents, but although Funan is the core city in the west, the quality of enterprises and talents here is naturally far from being compared with coastal cities, so at present, most of the enterprises in the entire software park are mainly outsourcing, and few can have the strength of independent research and development and operation.

Xia Qingyu's herring network is located in Area B of the software park, and there are two other newly founded small companies on the same floor, of course, both of which are making games.

Qingyu Network currently has only one girl at the front desk, Chen Xiaofan, but she is as her name suggests, from her figure to her appearance, she is an ordinary girl who has just graduated. When I first went to work in the morning, I received a notice from Mr. Xia that in the morning, there would be a person who came over for an interview yesterday to report, named Ye Shenxi, who was the new product director, and she was directly brought to the general manager's office to find her. The girl recalled for a long time and turned out yesterday's registration records and resumes received before she remembered such a person as Ye Shenxi, well, even her memory is ordinary. After waiting all morning, I didn't see anyone, thinking that the product director has such a personality? I was half a day late on my first day of work.

Ye Shenxi really forgot to report it, and the vacation after leaving the post was as long as 6 months, and the biological clock had to be readjusted. In the past, he didn't have to care about attendance when he was at the milestone, and he was quite casual, but since he had started from scratch in a new company, he didn't want to bring the team up, and he was still a little ashamed in his heart. When I rushed to the company non-stop, it was already half past twelve, and I saw a girl at the front desk who had probably finished her lunch and was lying on the table to seize the lunch break.

The work and rest of the herring fish network is quite humane, and you can rest from 12:00 to 13:30 at noon, a full hour and a half, and there are many companies in this industry that take a one-hour lunch break. For employees, half an hour after eating can almost have an hour of nap time to ensure that the afternoon work is enough energy. In particular, most of these people who make games are young people, and they are usually night owls, and they can play games until one or two o'clock in the evening, even if they have to go to work the next day. Eight hours of sleep? Inexistent.

Ye Shenxi hesitated or tapped the table with his knuckles to wake up the other party, Chen Xiaofan raised his head sleepily, waited until his eyes were focused, came back to his senses, opened his mouth slightly, pointed at Ye Shenxi and exclaimed: "Ah, it's you!" ”

This girl was shocked.

"Well, hello, we also met yesterday. My name is Ye Shenxi, and I came to report on my inauguration. ”

"I know, I know, Mr. Xia has explained." Chen Xiaofan rubbed his eyes, stood up and said, "I'll take you over, please come with me, Mr. Ye." ”

Passing by the work area, Ye Shenxi had the opportunity to take a look at the inside of the company, and he went to the negotiation room yesterday to stay around, and he didn't see the working environment. Xia Qingyu rented this office room is about 50 people to rent according to the expected scale, the workshop is currently seated by more than a dozen people, a large vacant area, plus a conference room, a pantry, a general manager's office, also considered to be complete.

Most of the dozen or so people were lying on the table to recuperate, and the remaining few were probably playing games, crackling the operator's keyboard and mouse, and the people next to them could sleep.

Chen Xiaofan knocked on the door of the general manager's office, and at about the same time, a voice came from inside, "Please come in." ”

Chen Xiaofan opened the door: "Mr. Xia, Director Ye has arrived." ”

"Well, you go out." Xia Qingyu got up from the boss's chair and motioned for Ye Shenxi to sit casually.

Xia Qingyu's office is more magnificent than Ye Shenxi imagined, almost half the size of the entire work area, the office desk is two meters long, and there are sofas and coffee tables for guests, as well as refrigerators, which are also in line with Xia Qingyu's description of his pursuit of quality of life.

After Chen Xiaofan closed the door and left, Ye Shenxi sat on the sofa: "The company's hardware is good." ”

Xia Qingyu didn't talk to him about this either: "I guess you haven't had lunch yet." The phone call at twelve o'clock will arrive at the company in half an hour, and you don't have this time. ”

Ye Shenxi nodded honestly.

Xia Qingyu took out two lunch boxes from the refrigerator: "Let's eat a boxed lunch." What was your previous Milestone Meal like? ”

Ye Shenxi was a little embarrassed: "You think too much, it's not so expensive, who doesn't grow up eating boxed lunches in this business." ”

"Well, that's fine. Eh, it's a little cold, let's go to the pantry and microwave it. Without waiting for Ye Shenxi to reply: "Forget it, I'll go." You wait a little bit, two minutes. With that, he went out with a boxed lunch.

"By the way, there's something to drink in the fridge, take it yourself." When the door was opened, Xia Qingyu turned back and admonished.

After a while, Xia Qingyu came back with a steaming lunch box, put it on the coffee table and opened it: "Don't worry, there is nothing particularly spicy, taste needs to be cultivated slowly, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Sure enough, they were all light side dishes, two meat and two vegetables were not buried, Ye Shenxi asked, "How can you be sure that I will come over without lunch?" "Apparently this box of lunches was ordered in advance.

Xia Qingyu smiled: "I'm not sure, anyway, if you don't eat at noon, you can keep it for dinner, your work rhythm in coastal cities is much stronger than in Funan, right, don't you work overtime?" ”

"Not today, tonight I plan to invite my colleagues from the project team to have a light meal, which can be regarded as getting to know everyone and contacting feelings."

"Yes...... Do you have money? ”

Ye Shenxi didn't speak, pursed his mouth and looked at Xia Qingyu, meaning that there is still you here.

Xia Qingyu couldn't help it: "Okay, okay, take me as the wronged leader, I will pay for your treat." ”

"Count me as borrowing, and deduct it from next month's salary."

"I'm serious, don't think I'll forget."

Ye Shenxi took a bite of food and said, "Did you have a meeting in the morning to convey the direction of the project to everyone?" ”

Xia Qingyu shook his head: "No, I'm just waiting for you to come." I understand the direction, but I may not be able to convey it clearly. Besides, you also know the current situation, you still have to check these people in the company to see if they can be used, and then determine who else to recruit. ”

At present, there are a total of 10 people in the R&D department of the herring network,Among them, 3 planners,5 programs,2 artists,According to the original concept of Xia herring development terminal game,This scale is naturally not enough,But if you look at the perspective of page game development,Purely from the number of people, it is enough。

Of course, Ye Shenxi needs to understand what kind of work these people can do, and Ye Shenxi can do it by himself in terms of direction and thinking, but there is a large amount of pure workload-based content with little technical content in a project, which requires a lot of labor costs to pile up, and an experienced employee can be at least two or three novices.

"What if I can't do it?" Ye Shenxi asked sharply.

Xia Qingyu has also thought about this problem, "The company's contract has a three-month probation period, let's see if it can be improved during the probationary period, maybe there is some potential or perseverance." ”

Ye Shenxi's thoughts are the same as Xia Qingyu's, for newcomers, he values attitude rather than ability. Ability can be cultivated, experience can be accumulated, but the other party needs to have a good enough attitude, otherwise it is a waste of the cost of the company and the team, especially the scale of the herring network, which cannot withstand the toss.

Xia Qingyu suddenly said in a daze, "Uh...... I didn't think you would come to our company before, so I didn't reserve the office of the project director when I renovated it...... "In Xia Qingyu's original vision, there was no such title as a producer or product director in the company - she herself was."

Ye Shenxi was a little surprised: "You are too careful, of course I have to sit with the team, otherwise how to control the project." ”

Xia Qingyu's eyes were rolling, Ye Shenxi was also telling the truth, and nodded: "I'll have a meeting in the afternoon later." ”

"Okay." Ye Shenxi took another bite of rice.
