Chapter 151: New Game: Escape from the Secret Realm

Time went back to a few minutes ago, Xu Xing ended the interview with Lei Wenyan, and he was basically satisfied with the results of today's interview.

For him, what he urgently needs at the moment is not how powerful he is at the technical level, but an ordinary programmer who can safely and steadily implement his plan and honestly type code.

The second thing that is more lacking is that in terms of management and promotion of projects, more experienced veterans, such people are generally in the position of programmers for many years, and slowly accumulate management and command ability talents.

Compared with the above two kinds of employees, that kind of technical expert is not the candidate that Tianshu Studio needs at this stage.

After all, a lightweight game like Fruit Assassin takes gameplay as the core driving force, and technical experts can only play the icing on the cake at best, so there is no need to waste high salaries to hire at this stage.

So after one morning and half an afternoon of interviews, Xu Xing had already ticked off almost half of the interviewees' resumes.

He Sitong and Lei Wenyan, who had just come in earlier, were top students from famous universities, and it was impossible to let them go.

But at this time, it depends on whether these people are willing to choose their company.

After all, Xu Xing would not be naΓ―ve, he really thought that if the offer was given, people would come.

The only possibility that these people can come to their own place to participate in the interview is that the interview time is staggered with the interview job fair time of other large companies.

Otherwise, in a small place like Tianshu Studio, most people will directly ignore it.

Only people with a little vision and market sense can get a glimpse of some shadows that may develop in the future from the popular overseas game of Fruit Assassin.

And those who are more courageous may choose this kind of small company with potential to fight for the future.

For example, He Sitong, who came to the interview earlier, although his personality is more introverted, his thoughts in his heart are almost like this.

And Lei Wenyan, who came in later, was more strange, and he really came with the intention of making a good game.

But as long as this guy doesn't have to make a game according to his own ideas, if he just wants to make a good game, Xu Xing's side is full of energy, and he is afraid that he will be killed to death.

The master's students who came out of Min University and Fu University have a relatively thick foundation, and if they can really be recruited, they can be regarded as a vital force that can be looked forward to.

Xu Xing sat behind the desk, and after watching Lei Wenyan walk out of the office, he ticked a box on Lei Wenyan's resume, and then stretched his waist and stretched his body.

And when he picked up the resume that was pressed at the bottom, turned the first page, and his eyes fell on the name on it, his brain was suddenly confused.

Well?

Xu Yi?

Why did you still collide with your uncle?

After being stunned, Xu Xing suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and was about to look at the other information on his resume when the office door was pushed open.

So he subconsciously looked up at the door, and after seeing the face of his uncle Xu Yi who walked in, his whole heart was beating wildly in an instant!

Xu Xing??!

”

"! Uncle? ”

Worst!

The secret of becoming a billionaire seems to be about to be exposed!

……

in the office.

At this moment, the two of them stood and sat down, and each other's moods were shocked and incredulous.

Xu Xing never thought that Xu Yi, who was still working for a certain time, would take advantage of the weekend to come to a small company like him for an interview.

Especially since his company has just started, he doesn't plan to tell his family about the specific situation for the time being, after all, he has a huge amount of money, and it is better to avoid it if he can avoid the nagging of his parents.

When he really makes this company famous and has a firm foothold in the industry, it will probably be the time for him to have a showdown with his family.

But who would have thought that it was such a coincidence that his uncle would take the initiative to find a job on his own?!

Uncle, don't you spend time at home with your aunt on weekends, why do you come out for a stroll?

Xu Xing complained frantically in his heart, and his mind began to run rapidly, thinking about how to rationalize the fact that he was the owner of a game company with tens of millions of revenues.

While Xu Xing's mind was turning, Xu Yi, who had just walked into the office from outside, was also confused at this time after seeing clearly that the interviewer was his nephew.

You know, before he entered the door, he was still guessing what kind of character the boss of this company would be.

And in the end, it is a technical master from a large factory, or a more famous game planner.

No matter how bad it is, it must at least be like the level of the master's graduates of the two prestigious universities just now, and it is reasonable to be lucky to make a fruit assassin.

But no matter how much you let Xu Yi rack his brains to guess, he would never have guessed that Fruit Assassin, a casual mobile game that has now swept North America, was actually made by his own nephew who had just entered his freshman year!

Outrageous!

It's outrageous!

Don't dare to write like that!

And judging from the information that Xu Yi has learned and speculated so far, although the development cost of the game Fruit Assassin is only about 100,000 yuan, including the cost of marketing and publicity, at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.

If it was really a game made by Xu Xing, where did he get the starting capital?

Don't tell him it's New Year's money.

Ghosts don't believe it!

It can't be that Xu Xing told his parents that he wanted to make games, and his brother and sister-in-law waved their hands arrogantly and handed over hundreds of thousands of yuan to their son who had just finished the college entrance examination, right?

Xu Yi was shocked, but after slowly calming down, the more he pondered, the more terrifying he realized that this matter was more terrifying.

You know, such a game, although it seems to be simple to make, but from planning to project approval, and then to entering the execution stage and publicity stage, don't look very simple, at least not a high school graduate can play it.

Especially considering that Fruit Assassin was launched on August 20, and the development time was pushed forward by two months, that is to say, Xu Xing had already begun to think about this matter around June 20!

At that time, the results of the college entrance examination have not even come out!

Is this kid so demonic?

"Ahem......"

Xu Xing, who was behind the desk, didn't know how to face his uncle, but finally stood up and wanted to move a stool for his uncle.

But Xu Yi had calmed down for the time being, waved his hand at him and asked him to sit down, took the chair behind the desk at the door, came to Xu Xing's desk, and sat down.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other for a long time, and the atmosphere was strange and awkward.

After a few minutes, Xu Yi sighed and asked faintly, "Fruit Assassin, did you do it?" ”

At this point, there is actually nothing to hide, Xu Xing nodded helplessly and admitted: "I did it." ”

"Tianshu Studio, you set it up?"

"Yes."

"Qunxing Company, also yours?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Xu Yi had a toothache.

Although the matter had already been settled after entering the door, after completely confirming the answer from Xu Xing's mouth, Xu Yi still felt a little stunned with a chill in the back of his head.

An unreal illusion hung over him, but the reality in front of him had to make him believe.

After all, no matter how much Xu Xing played, it was impossible to deceive him about this kind of thing.

But this is a game company that only relies on a mobile game to earn tens of millions of dollars a month!

Such a gold mine turned out to be his nephew's asset, Xu Yi sat on the chair, feeling really incredible, he couldn't help but lean back on the chair, pat his head while inhaling, and confirm that this was not a dream of his own.

"What's that?" Xu Xing saw that his uncle didn't continue to ask questions for the time being, so he couldn't help but ask helplessly, "Uncle, why did you come to a small company like mine for an interview?" ”

"Small company...... Hehe...... "Listening to Xu Xing's words, Xu Yi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, touched his head and sighed infinitely, thinking that being a boss is different, and a casual sentence is an invisible pretense, "Mr. Xu, of course I came to the interview to find a job with better treatment." ”

Xu Xing: "......"

"Uncle, don't be like this, I'm uncomfortable when you call me Mr. Xu, let's be normal, okay?" Xu Xing hurriedly laughed.

Xu Yi sighed, stood up and walked around the office, looking here and there, relieving the turmoil in his heart again, and straightening out his thoughts by the way.

Xu Xing had no choice but to follow Xu Yi's figure with his eyes, and finally watched him sit back in his seat again, took out a cigarette, looked up and asked, "Can you smoke here?" ”

"Yes, you can." Xu Xing didn't dare to disobey at this time, so he quickly got up and opened the window, and handed over an ashtray that he usually used to throw away garbage.

After lighting a cigarette, Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, took a long breath, and his brain finally turned around slowly.

When he exhaled the smoke from his mouth, he sighed faintly, pointed his finger on the table, and finally said, "You don't have anyone to interview behind you, right, let's have a good chat with my uncle and nephew?" ”

Xu Xing looked at Xu Yi's sudden serious expression, his expression was frozen, and his mind calmed down, and he nodded: "Okay." ”

After speaking, Xu Xing got up, took the other interview resumes except Xu Yi in his hand, came to the door of the office, and said to Peng Yuxuan outside after opening the door: "Xiao Peng, we will talk for a long time in a while, you sort out these resumes outside first, and leave them with a tick in the upper right corner." ”

"The salary and benefits above are indicated, and after sorting it out, give it to Sister Yao, who is in finance, and ask her to send out the offer."

"Clean up after you finish it, and then just get off work, and the office will be sorted out tomorrow morning."

Peng Yuxuan listened carefully to Xu Xing's instructions, hurriedly took the thick stack of resumes in his hand, nodded and said, "Understood, Mr. Xu." ”

After explaining the task, Xu Xing originally wanted to go back to the office directly, but at a glance he caught a glimpse of Yan Chi Vinegar working in the corner, so he paused to go back, thought about it, and then said to the uncle in the house: "Uncle, I'll go and tell you first, you sit down for a while." ”

"Okay." Xu Yi sat on the chair in the office, his mood had basically calmed down, and he poured a glass of water by himself and took a sip, "You are busy first, I am empty today." ”

It just so happened that Xu Yi also sorted out his own thoughts, and he had to talk to Xu Xing later, and see how this kid managed to make such a 10-million-level game company in a summer vacation.

Seeing that Xu Yi's mood was relatively stable, Xu Xing was also relieved.

Uncle he still knows a lot, and he is usually a very rational and kind elder.

In his previous life, Xu Xing has been taken care of by his uncle's family, and in terms of computers, from childhood to adulthood, Xu Xing has received the influence from Xu Yi.

It can even be said that the relationship between Xu Xing and his father Xu Jian is a simple blood son and Lao Tzu, but the relationship with Xu Yi is not only an uncle and nephew, but because Xu Yi has often played with Xu Xing since he was a child, the two of them are more like a father and son.

If the person who came to interview today was Xu Jian, it is estimated that Xu Xing would be much more panicked at this time.

But if it was Xu Yi, Xu Xing would be shocked and worried for a moment at most, and then as Xu Yi's emotions calmed down, Xu Xing also relaxed, believing very much in his heart that his uncle would definitely stand on his side and think about his nephew from Xu Xing's own point of view.

Closing the office door, President Xu exhaled a breath of turbidity, and shook his head with a helpless smile.

The door of the financial room on the side also opened in due time, Yao Yuanyuan came out and saw Xu Xing, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Yo, is the interview over?" ”

"Huh." Xu Xing tugged at the corners of his mouth faintly, and looked at Yao Yuanyuan's eyes with a very resentful look, "Why didn't you let me take a good look at my resume before?" ”

β€œοΌŸοΌŸοΌŸβ€ Yao Yuanyuan looked confused, and couldn't help but complain, "Who was in a hurry to go to the office with vinegar vinegar to live a two-person world that day, and directly threw the resume to me and said that you don't need to read it?" ”

"And didn't I ask Xiao Peng to read it for you in advance?"

"I specially told him before to briefly mention it to you before the interview, but he didn't tell you?"

Xu Xing was choked for a while, and he was speechless: "Uh......"

"So what's going on?" Yao Yuanyuan glanced at him, "Did there go wrong with the interview?" ”

"There's nothing wrong ahead." Xu Xing cupped his forehead, "But in the end, this 45-year-old programmer named Xu Yi is my own uncle...... Well...... That is, my father's younger brother. ”

Yao Yuanyuan: "......? ”

"Forget it, it's happened anyway, so I'll mention it to you." Xu Xing waved his hand, and after talking to Yao Yuanyuan, he walked up to Yan Chi Vinegar and patted her on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Yan Chi Vinegar was typing the code, and when he saw Xu Xing coming, he immediately raised his little face and asked, "The interview is over?" ”

"Theoretically, it's over." Xu Xing shrugged his shoulders, reluctantly put away the helplessness on his face, and glanced at the progress of Yan Chi Vinegar's side, "Can you handle it on the weekend?" ”

"Well, it's already in the end." Yan Chi Vinegar nodded seriously, "It should be able to enter the testing stage tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then you get busy first, don't come to the office for a while." Xu Xing sighed, "I have to have a good talk with my uncle." ”

"Huh? Uncle? When Yan Chi Vinegar heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm." Xu Xing looked at this girl's stunned cute expression, couldn't help but reach out and touch her head again, and explained, "The last person who came to the interview just now was my uncle, and I didn't expect such a coincide......nce."

"Ahh Yan Chi Vinegar only reacted at this time, covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Just now, he came to ask me something." ”

That uncle just now turned out to be Xu Xing's uncle?!

Yan Chi Vinegar was a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly recalled what happened just now, and only after confirming that he was not too rude, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she thought about it, that uncle is Xu Xing's uncle, Xu Niannian is Xu Xing's cousin, isn't that uncle Xu Niannian's father?

Yes!

Doesn't my sister also work in the studio?

And it doesn't seem to know that the owner of the studio is Xu Xing......

However, Yan Chi Vinegar felt that the boss should think of this, so he didn't say much.

"Anyway, you just work here first, I'm done talking to my uncle, let's talk about the follow-up."

"Uh-oh." Yan Chi nodded in response, feeling Xu Xing's warm hand on her head withdrawn, she felt a little lost in her heart, "It's okay, I'll be alone here." ”

"Well, if I talk to my uncle late, I'll have trouble ordering an extra lunch box to bring in."

"Uh-huh, I see."

After talking to Yan Chi Vinegar here, Xu Xing turned back to the financial room.

Yao Yuanyuan was taking over the list of hires compiled by Peng Yuxuan, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up and saw that it was Xu Xing, and couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you going to accompany your uncle?" ”

"I forgot to mention one thing just now." Xu Xing said to Yao Yuanyuan, "Since we have made money from the game, it is time to give bonuses to a few members." ”

"Oh? Don't pick the door this time? Yao Yuanyuan teased.

Xu Xing glanced at her, and then said: "Li Zhibin gave him a bonus of 3,000 over there, you and Yu Youjia each have 5,000, Xu Nian has 10,000, and Yan Chi vinegar has 15,000." ”

"Is there any cash in the company?"

"The bonus is still more felt when I find gold."

"Yes." Yao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "There are still tens of thousands of yuan in cash." ”

"That's okay, Li Zhibin's share will be put first, and I'll give it to him when I am on National Day, and you can wrap the rest in red envelopes, and I'll give it to you personally when the time comes."

"You also give me my share?" Yao Yuanyuan laughed.

"Sense of ceremony, how boring it is for you to take it directly."

Xu Xing instructed the things that he was going to tell after the interview, and after he got it done, he finally walked out of the financial room, returned to the door of his office, and took a deep breath.

……

Approaching four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xing and Xu Yi's uncle and nephew sat opposite each other in front of the desk.

Xu Yi put a few blank pieces of paper in front of him, held a pen in his hand, and tapped his fingers on the table from time to time, holding the pen to write and draw on the paper.

After finally sorting out his thoughts, Xu Yi finally looked up at Xu Xing and asked one question after another, "When did this game start to be made?" ”

"It's the middle of June."

"What about the plan? That's when I started thinking about it? ”

"Not really." Xu Xing silently tried to patch his behavior, "I thought about it when I was bored in high school before, and then I played with my mother's newly bought pineapple phone. ”

"My mom was cutting fruit at the time, and I thought it would be interesting to implement this feature on my phone."

"But I just thought about it at the time, at that time, I was bored and taught myself programming in private, and I was not too proficient, and I had to prepare for the college entrance examination, so I didn't think much about it."

Xu Yi took the pen and tapped on the paper, reluctantly accepted Xu Xing's setting, and then asked, "What was the division of labor among the six people in the original team?" ”

"Six?" Xu Xing blinked, a little puzzled, "Uncle, where did you get this data?" ”

"Your employee told me."

"Uh......" Xu Xing thought about it, and probably guessed that Yan Chi vinegar said it, and included Li Zhibin, Yao Yuanyuan, and Yu Youjia, an artist and foreign artist, so Xu Xing simply got off the donkey and said, "Three programmers, two artists, and one finance." ”

Anyway, try to make this matter a little more reasonable in this innocuous detail, so that it is easier for my uncle to accept.

Xu Xing hopes to make his uncle feel his talent in this area, but not too outrageous.

For example, it takes a few days to complete the game planning plan, and there are almost no changes during the production process, and everything goes straight to the final finished product, which is terrible to think about, and it is completely inconsistent with the law of the birth of a game.

"And where did you get your money?" Xu Yi asked, "This salary expenditure, excluding yourself in two months, will cost about 60,000 yuan, right?" ”

"Do you want so much?" Xu Xing blinked, and gave his uncle Xu Yi a rare lesson, "At the beginning, there was actually only one artist, because of the college students, it only cost 1500, and then in the second month, I found an art advancement, and it cost a total of 4500 yuan." ”

"The other two programmers, one is a classmate I know, who worked for me for free, and is now a student at Beijing University, and the other has the most expensive salary, 3,000 yuan per month, which is also 6,000 yuan of expenditure."

"The rest of the finance, the family is a rich second generation, it is simply that I found to help register the company, and I don't need a salary at all for the first two months."

"So the salary is only more than 10,000 yuan."

Xu Yi: "......"

I really didn't expect my nephew to have the potential to be a vampire.

Can labor still be prostituted for nothing?

However, thinking that many entrepreneurial teams were originally generating electricity for love, Xu Yi was also relieved.

But then he hurriedly asked, "What about the company's equity?" Is the ownership of the studio and the game yours alone, or is it split equally between the six of you? ”

"I'm all the one who invests in it, so the company is all mine alone." Xu Xing said honestly.

"Hiss......" Xu Yi was really excited and envious when he heard this reply.

Just now he heard Xu Xing say that the person in charge of finances was a rich second generation, and he thought that the funds were actually from this rich second generation, Xu Xing just served as a game planner, and he sighed a little in his heart.

As a result, I didn't expect that the starting funds of this studio were really Xu Xing alone.

"Then even if the salary expenditure is only 10,000 yuan, and there are other food expenses, office space rent, water and electricity bills, etc., this must be 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, right?"

"Ahem......" Xu Xing was a little embarrassed to be asked, and replied in a low voice, "That rich second-generation family runs an Internet cafΓ©, and the upstairs private room is lent to the studio for free for two months, and the rent and utility bills are all free." ”

"And the two artists work outside by themselves, so they don't have to pay for the food, the rich second generation and another programmer are at home to solve the problem of eating, I just need to pay for the food expenses of myself and another programmer."

"So in two months, it's probably only three or four thousand, counting the expenditure of about 15,000 wages."

The sluggishness in Xu Yi's eyes flashed, and when he looked at his nephew's eyes, he didn't know whether to praise or show some other expression.

Should I say it or not, this ability to prostitute and exploit is really suitable for being a boss.

"Wait." Xu Yi complained in his heart, but it didn't prevent him from continuing to think and ask, "Even if the development cost is compressed to fifteen thousand by you, you don't have so much money yourself, right?" ”

"Hey, hey." Xu Xing scratched his head a little embarrassed, "My mother gave it, I gave about 50,000 yuan, and my grandfather gave 10,000 yuan after the college entrance examination, counting the pocket money I usually save, there can be more than 60,000 yuan in total." ”

Xu Yi's eyes widened and he asked, "Your mother knows that you make games?" ”

"I don't know."

"Then why did she give you 50,000 yuan so much?"

"You know her Taobao online store uncle, right? That's what I recommended in the first place. Xu Xing said honestly, "At first, my mother didn't believe that this thing could make money, so I made a bet with her that if she made money, she would give me half of the profits." ”

"As a result, I earned more than 100,000 yuan in June, and my mother didn't break her promise, so she gave me 50,000 yuan."

"Actually, I didn't plan to toss this during the summer vacation, but when I found out that the online store could make money and had a source of funds, I couldn't help but think about it."

After listening to Xu Xing's sharing about the early days of entrepreneurship, Xu Yi was silent, digesting this information in his heart.

The words and graphics on the paper also became richer, and Xu Yi looked at the information on it, his fingers tapping on the table.

In this way, the cost of game development is fifteen thousand, and if you deduct this part from sixty thousand, there will be forty-five thousand.

"So you only spent forty-five thousand on the promotion of your game?" Xu Yi asked curiously, "Is the blogger on the YouTube tube over there so cheap?" ”

"Not really." Xu Xing explained, "I signed a tiered contract with them based on the effect of the advertisement, so I only needed to pay a small deposit at the beginning, and more than 20 bloggers spent a total of about 40,000 yuan, and the average deposit per person was about 300 US dollars." ”

"Then you're so bold." Xu Yi took a breath, he didn't expect Xu Xing to be so radical in this regard.

But judging by the results, this radical approach has led to an almost perfect result.

Last month, the income of the fruit assassin was more than two million, and the fees that need to be paid to these two dozen bloggers in the future are not even a fraction of more than two million.

It can be said that it is a big profit.

Thinking of this, I looked at the paper full of information I recorded, which completely analyzed the whole process of Xu Xing's business from scratch.

Every step of the way was perfect, including the parts of the White Prostitute team members, which became an important cornerstone of the Fruit Assassin's ascension to the throne.

Xu Yi couldn't even find any obvious faults.

It's hard to imagine that these are all handled by Xu Xing alone.

But the facts are in front of you, and you can't believe it or not.

However, after understanding the situation in the early stage of this part of the business and confirming that Xu Xing had no omissions, Xu Yi's focus immediately shifted to another direction.

"So what's next for you?" Xu Yi asked, "Is there an idea for a new game?" The success of Fruit Assassin is difficult to replicate, and it is best to be mentally prepared for the results of the new game, and not to fall too far and cause an imbalance in your mind. ”

"Well, there is." Xu Xing nodded, knowing very well what his uncle was worried about.

Especially in the face of such a sudden wealth, people are likely to have an unbalanced judgment on the amount of money.

If Xu Xing was just a normal young man, after suddenly facing such great success, he would probably fall into a state of blind confidence and even conceit.

Once a new game can't go on a money spree like Fruit Assassin, it can lead to a problem with the mentality.

Others may think it is strange when they look at it, this guy has obviously made so much money, why doesn't he know contentment.

However, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and many times after experiencing it once, the psychological threshold will suddenly rise.

If you don't have a strong ability to regulate your mindset, it's often not a good thing to get rich suddenly.

Xu Yi has also seen and heard various deeds in the Internet field over the years.

In the past ten years, under the wave of Internet gold rush, how many people have had ups and downs, and Xu Yi has seen many people and things, so he will naturally worry about Xu Xing's current situation.

"This is the planning plan of the new game, uncle, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can take a look."

Xu Xing took out a recently printed document from the drawer and handed it to Xu Yi.

After Xu Yi took it, he looked down at the planning title on the document, which had a line of big words written on it-

【Secret Escape Plan】
