Chapter 62: Count the Bonus!
Obviously, for this set of rhetoric, Zhou Yang and Zhao Haiquan did not believe in a single punctuation mark.
It is indeed possible for the boss to give bonuses because of making money, but it is unlikely to say that all the money for team building will be saved and bonuses will be issued.
This pie is full of holes!
Why?
The reason is very simple: no matter how generous a game company is, even if the game makes money, the amount of bonuses used to give the whole team will basically not exceed 10% of the game's profit.
In other words, if the game makes a million, then it would be good to take out 100,000 to give bonuses to employees; If the game makes 10 million, you will get 1 million at most.
There aren't too many whys, and that's the way things are in the industry.
This is already a very generous boss will give, some bosses, even if the game makes money, they don't pay a penny bonus, and even the blank checks written before are not cashed at all, do employees have temper? Not a temper at all.
Therefore, the vast majority of veteran employees who have worked in the industry for a year or two know that they can calculate the bonuses they can get based on the profit of the game.
For example, Zhao Haiquan, he is a relatively important position as a background program, if the whole team can get 10%, then he should be able to get about 1%.
The game makes a profit of 1 million a month, and he gets a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
Don't be too little, it's good to give.
For the boss, the saved employee benefits can be put into his own pocket, and if you give employees an extra 10,000, you will get 10,000 less, so why send it?
So, bosses can be roughly divided into three levels, from generous to stingy.
The first is very generous, the project bonus can be paid up to 10%, and then a sum of money can be used to engage in team building activities, update the work equipment for everyone, improve the working environment, and engage in some game rooms, gyms and other benefits.
The second type is more stingy, the project bonus is symbolically floating on the basis of the original salary, and then symbolically engage in some team building activities, such as having a meal at public expense, going out to play, etc.
The third type is particularly stingy, none of the above.
As for saving money for team building activities and giving bonuses? That's impossible!
Because in the eyes of employees, team building is useless, far inferior to real bonuses; But in the eyes of the boss, team building is much more cost-effective than giving bonuses.
The bonus is the real money directly issued to the employee, and the employee does not necessarily read your good, and this kind of thing is not very easy to directly publicize.
Team building is different, on the one hand, the company's public expenses, there can be some tax deductions, and at the same time, it can also "enhance team cohesion", and most importantly, engage in some benefits, which will seem to give people the illusion of "this company is very good", but in fact it does not cost too much money.
In summary, if we use the analogy of basic needs:
Paying wages in full and on time is the bottom line requirement, just like a staple food at mealtime;
Team building activities and improvement of the working environment are advanced requirements, just like vegetables at mealtime;
As for the high project bonuses? This is the highest requirement, just like the delicacies of the mountains and seas and king crab during a meal.
Is there anyone who treats you and skips the vegetables to make your king crab enough?
That's almost unlikely.
Therefore, Mr. Gu's behavior is very understandable.
Although he said that he wanted to save the money for team building and pay bonuses, it was actually a pretext that he didn't want to pay benefits. I even want to save money for team building, how can this real money really be used to give bonuses.
How do you say that? The silver of the white flowers was given to the poor, and they did evil!
Therefore, Zhou Yang and Zhao Haiquan just chatted a few words, and they tacitly avoided this topic.
If you say it, it's only to add to your troubles, and what is it doing?
At best, at least everyone has the experience of successful projects, and if you really want to change jobs, it will be much smoother.
As for the bonus, it can only be said that it depends on the conscience of the president, how much has to be paid a few thousand yuan, right?
……
Gu Fan refreshed the background data.
So far, the cumulative sales of "Hell Tracks" have finally reached one million, the sales of "Sisyphus" have exceeded 500,000, and the sales of "Blocks Against Heaven" have also reached 100,000.
The follow-up growth of "Hell Tracks" is relatively slow, and one million should be the limit of this game, after all, it is technically a fun little game that can "turn bullets" at best, and it is difficult to maintain its popularity for a long time.
Being able to have millions of sales is already the result of the double buffs of "cheap price" and "hot explosion".
The price of "Sisyphus" has increased a lot compared to "Hell Track", and the threshold of the game itself is higher, and it is all dependent on the suffering of streamers and the survival of speedrunners to maintain the current popularity, and the sales of 500,000 are already considerable.
And this game still has a certain amount of stamina, and it will be discounted in the future, or some anchors will break the defense and bring another wave of popularity, and it is not a big problem to continue to increase sales by two or three hundred thousand.
"Paradise Cube" is the most surprising, originally the game of the Mini Game Design Contest would not have such high sales, but this game did attract a lot of die-hard players of the original "Spin Cube", so the sales performance turned out to be good, and the subsequent growth has been stable.
As for "The Legend of the Mandate of Heaven", which costs 98?
So far, in just two days, the sales have exceeded 50,000!
Considering the price of a copy of 98, this game has earned more than three million games for Paradise so far!
And from today onwards, the popularity of this game can be regarded as really rising, and the reputation is reversed, so it is conservatively estimated that the sales in the first month can be at least three or four hundred thousand.
This also means that "The Legend of Destiny Wo Long" will undoubtedly become the most profitable game of Paradise Games since its inception.
Just before this weekend, the first income of "The Legend of the Destiny of Wolong" can be received, and compared with the last time, the company's book funds of Reverse Heaven Games have increased by about 12 million!
Previously, about 8 million of the funds on the books were reserved for the development and publicity of "The Legend of the Mandate of Heaven and the Dragon", and about 4 million were spent on development and promotion, and now there are 3.7 million left.
Originally, the company's operating expenses were 2.8 million, and this money was not spent much, and there were more than 2.3 million left.
After this replenishment, about 12.1 million yuan will be spent on game development and promotion, and 5.3 million yuan will be spent on the company's operation.
Gu Fan can get a 5% bonus, that is, more than 600,000 before tax, and his personal deposit is about 370,000, and his personal deposit has also come to 780,000.
For this money, Gu Fan took it with peace of mind.
It's all earned by my hard power!
Oh no, it should be said that it was pulled out of Lilith's fingers with hard power, and I am proud!
After taking your share, it's time to consider giving bonuses to your brothers.
According to the contract between Lilith and Gu Fan, Gu Fan can get a fixed 5% of the net profit of the month, and 25% of the net profit of the month can be used as the company's operating expenses.
The so-called operating expenses are that in addition to the development and operation expenses of the game, as well as Gu Fan's personal bonuses, they can be spent in any way.
It can be used for company welfare, such as team building, afternoon tea booking, fitness cards for employees, or adding a water bar and entertainment room to the company.
It can also be used purely to give bonuses to employees.
For Gu Fan, of course he chose the latter.
After all, the former is all company benefits, and the company is Lilith's! What do you do with welfare so well? At that time, employees are grateful to the company, and the talents who are attracted are also running for the company's welfare.
When Gu Fan really left this company, he couldn't take anything with him.
And what about direct bonuses? The employees remembered Gu Fan's favor, and when Gu Fan patted his ass and left, he could directly dig up the company, leaving only an empty shell.
Therefore, all the company benefits are saved, and money is distributed!
As for how much?
Gu Fan still knows in his heart, he will not send all the operating funds at once, in general, it still depends on the specific ability and contribution of these employees.
For example, if these employees are not involved in the development of the first three games, they will naturally not participate in the revenue of the first three games.
The specific amount of each person also depends on the ability and contribution value of employees, and it should be dynamically evaluated.
Thinking of this, Gu Fan called Xiao Mingyu over.
"Help me calculate the winus."
Xiao Mingyu nodded seriously: "Okay, Mr. Gu, how do you calculate it?" ”
Obviously, she is also full of expectations for this, and she wants to know how Mr. Gu will pay the bonus.
This is also the decisive factor for Xiao Mingyu to come to work in Reverse Heaven Games!
