"It's $3,600, which is a bonus in addition to salary, if you were in our company at the time, according to the salary I expected to give you, six months, you should get a bonus of $8,000, but unfortunately you are not here."

"And three months later, one of the most important festivals in China, the Spring Festival, at that time they will get an average of another $7,200 because they have made money from the projects they have made." Xia Qingyu raised his right hand and gestured for money.

Through Doug's eyes, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu could see that he was moved.

"Mr. Doug, you have to know that China's tax rate is less than half of that of the United States."

"What about our engines?" Doug asked again.

"Now, please make an offer." Xia Qingyu spread his hand and gestured, please say.

Doug hesitated for a moment, then said a number: "$100,000, buyout." "The buyout means that the source code of this engine will belong to the intellectual property rights of the Qingyu Network in the future, and they have no right to sell it to others, but his voice is a little fluctuating, and he seems to be lacking in confidence and not very confident.

In fact, Xia Qingyu was quite acceptable to this amount, but she still said: "Mr. Doug, I want to ask you how long it took you to develop this engine?" ”

Doug didn't know what she wanted to do, and honestly said, "11 months." ”

Xia Qingyu did the math: "According to the salary expectation I gave to the three people in your studio, I will pay a total of 44,000 US dollars for the three of you in 11 months, and then I will take out 10,000 US dollars as a bonus for your successful development, a total of 55,000 US dollars, what do you think?" ”

Therefore, the negotiation should still be logical, which is simply reasonable and convincing.

To be honest, after being cold all the way from the United States to China, Doug's heart price has dropped lower and lower, and it is already lower than $50,000. He couldn't find any point to refute the number, just a little hesitant.

Xia Qingyu felt that it was almost the same, and said: "Of course, as foreigners, you have to leave your hometown and come to a foreign country after all, so during your work in our company, we will provide you with accommodation for free, and the environment will not disappoint you." ”

"And more importantly, Mr. Doug, you were originally going to make games, right? I don't know what you're going to do when you sell the engine, but you see, here, you can continue your gaming dreams and make a real game, instead of getting a sum of money and going to a bar or a nightclub to waste your life. ”

"But I haven't told them about it to my two partners, and they may not necessarily agree."

"Of course, we respect the personal wishes of all people, but please communicate what you see and hear to them in full, and they will be treated the same as you."

Doug was silent for a few moments, and finally he nodded solemnly.

After finalizing more contract details with Doug, Xia Qingyu started to translate for Ye Shenxi, and he was elaborating on some of his ideas about MOBA games, hoping that Doug would make some targeted adjustments to the engine in advance.

Doug listened very excitedly, he was a loyal player of "RotA", although they originally planned to make an RPG, but many of the ideas for thinking about skills were based on "RotA", he was very interested in developing a MOBA-like online game, and from time to time he expressed his opinion, and after two hours he had a rough outline of the project.

For a MOBA game, skill design is the most important part, and the other parts don't take much work, if Doug originally referenced RotA in this part, then Athena and its supporting tools don't need too much modification to use directly.

Doug had planned to spend a few more days in Funan, visiting the scenic spots, and relieving the stress of the month, but now he couldn't wait to bring his two friends to work.

At half past seven in the evening, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu sent Doug to the elevator door of the office building, he will return to the United States tomorrow, and he will keep communicating with the two on MSN before coming to China.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Ye Shenxi turned to look at Xia Qingyu, but the girl turned around and left.

Wasn't it all normal just now, why did you change your face again in a blink of an eye, this is a father and a daughter.

Mr. Xia...... You wait. ”

Xia Qingyu stopped, but did not look back.

"May I tell you about my new project?"

"......" Xia Qingyu was angry and anxious, don't you explain the bad things you caused and talk to me about work now?

But she still agreed: "Okay, go to my office." ”

The two walked into the general manager's office, but Xia Qingyu didn't care about Ye Shenxi, and left him aside to make tea by himself......

There is a sentence to say, she has never used this set of tea sets at all, Ye Shenxi has never seen her drink tea in ordinary times, and it is completely placed on the coffee table as decoration.

But I haven't eaten pork and I've always seen pigs run, Xia Qingyu, her father and her master are all masters of the tea ceremony, and they still learn to be decent in their posture.

Clean hands, watch utensils, hot cups and warm pots, Ma Long enters the palace, washes tea, brews, and blows in the spring breeze...... Ye Shenxi, a layman, was stunned by her, but this silence was a little embarrassing.

"Mr. Xia, I expect the development cycle of this project to be no more than 4 months."

"I am very relieved of Mr. Ye's work efficiency." It's a little scary.

"The scale of the project team will not be too large, and I will be able to plan it alone, and I may need to recruit two or three more in terms of procedures, of course, I need to pass the English test, and I need to communicate with Doug and them."

"There are not many people who are fluent in English." It's a little prickly.

"In terms of art, I think we should set up a special art department, not only responsible for a single project, but also the art resources of all projects of the herring fish network will be produced by them."

"I think so too, I've already made 4 art offers in the past few days when you're happy in Yangcheng." It's better to have thorns than no emotion, and it's better to be completely business......

"That's what I think about the project, people are getting busier and busier now, and there are no longer so many people who have so much time every day and spend hours on a single MMORPG. Playing a MOBA game that only takes about 30 minutes is the solution for these terminal game users. Ye Shenxi said in an organized way that he did MOBA not for Lin Xinran, but really out of consideration at the company and market level.

Xia Qingyu also thought for a moment, nodded and said: "In this regard, web games are actually a way out, but the quality of the game is its biggest limitation, and it is too easy to touch the ceiling." ”

"It may grow rapidly in the next few years, but when smartphone hardware matures, its greatest advantage of convenience will be wiped out by the impact of mobile games, and then it will also decline rapidly. So I also agree with you to develop MOBA games, and the company still needs to rely on terminal games and mobile games in the future. ”

Xia Qingyu said, picked up the mobile phone and shook it in front of Ye Shenxi.

"You changed your phone?"

"iPhone, the smartphone released in June by the American company Pingguo." It seems that Xia Qingyu has foreseen the farther future.

"It's not listed in China......"

"Can't you buy it if it's not listed?"

Ye Shenxi continued: "Okay, now the MOBA online game market is completely a blue ocean, and we will also complete the first real multiplayer battle online game. ”

"Why do you still say this...... And I didn't let you open this new project. ”

"Mr. Xia, Lin Xinran and I ......"

"Don't talk about these things during working hours." Xia Qingyu didn't listen at all.
