68. "Contra"

Judy was notified the next day that her interview had passed.

"A two-month probationary period with a salary of $1,000 a week." Samantha said.

Judy nodded, all of this had been said before.

"Now I'll take you to understand the company's situation first, as well as meet some people, which you will need to face often in the future." Samantha is actually very busy, but this is the boss's secretary after all, and she still needs to lead it personally.

Now Tsingshan's personnel are also relatively chaotic, after all, the expansion is too fast.

Especially in recent times, the company is recruiting people every day, such as the planning department and the R&D department, which need to supplement manpower.

The other is the sales department and the customer service department, especially the customer service department, which can be regarded as a headache for her.

Quina comes over every day to ask for people, but she can't find too many people for Queena, after all, Queena is a customer service department, not a sales department, and it's not a good thing to expand too many personnel.

Especially the boss Li Hua, who did not fully open his mouth to agree to the big expansion of the customer service department.

This requires her to balance, and it is impossible for Li Hua to come forward in person to discourage the enthusiasm of the customer service department.

And their Qingshan Company not only has people coming in every day, but there are also people leaving every day.

The representatives of this are the planning department and the R&D department.

Because Li Hua has very high requirements for the personnel level of these two departments, even if he passes the interview, as long as he fails during the internship period, he will be eliminated directly.

…………………

Soon, Judy spent two days on her side to find out the general situation of the company, and at the same time, she was very satisfied.

She sees a fighting spirit in this company, where everyone is working hard and everyone is highly motivated.

In fact, this surprised Judy, although Tsingshan Company is a start-up company, she has not seen start-up companies, and it has developed to this point, the scale is already a completely medium-sized company, and there is such a strong enthusiasm, there are very few of them.

Judy also inquired a little about the situation, and the answer she received was simply surprising to her.

"Money, the boss gives a lot of money, why don't we work hard? At the very least, we need to be worthy of the salary given by the boss. ”

"And it's hard to find a job now, especially with such a generous boss."

Listening to this natural answer, Judy was also very surprised.

………………

"Two tasks for you." Li Hua said to Judy.

Judy looked stunned and immediately said, "You say." ”

"The first thing I did was to collect copyright information about the movie "Alien", and I needed detailed information." Li Hua said.

This is in preparation for Contra.

"Contra" was actually installed on an arcade machine at the beginning.

But Li Hua is not ready to make it appear in the arcade now this time.

The main thing is that he needs to advertise his home game console and use high-quality games to open sales.

This is also something he has thought about a long time ago.

After all, at this stage, the most important thing for Tsingshan is the development of the game console market.

You must build a game platform that is completely your own, so that you will not be controlled by others.

At this stage, because of the lawsuit between Atari and Activision, there is no problem in terms of platform.

But if this problem is not solved, when Nintendo's red and white phones enter the American market and become mainstream, then they will be pinched.

Even most of the game's profits will be taken by Nintendo, which is certainly not what Li Hua wants to see.

In addition, the market profit of household machines is also very high, and Atari has annual sales of two billion US dollars by virtue of the sales of Atari 2600.

That's an exaggerated number.

As for the arcade, there is no need to rush for the time being, and it can be grafted directly at that time, and even a lot of publicity is saved.

"Contra" is adapted from the movie "Alien", in terms of copyright, Li Hua is naturally reluctant to leave any handle, otherwise it will be difficult to make trouble at that time.

Judy immediately wrote it down, it was his first task, and it was not to be taken lightly.

"The second thing I wanted to do was to ask about a game developer called Namco, who has a game called Tank Battalion, and give me a report on its specific situation." Li Hua continued.

This is the second game Li Hua chose for the new home console, "Tank Wars"!

"Tank Wars" already had a prototype in 1980, it was Namco Games' "Tank Battalion".

However, at this time, "Tank Battalion" was just a very ordinary game, but it only had the most basic setting of "Tank Wars".

The sales are not very good, and Li Hua naturally needs to buy its copyright.

I believe that like Mario's copyright, it will not be hindered too much.

Speaking of Mario's copyright, the current Nintendo company has regretted it to death.

It's not that they regret selling Mario's rights, after all, they have never valued Mario's image.

Rather, it feels like they're losing money.

Judging from the speed of game development at Aoyama, Nintendo believes that they have already done a good job, and only chose the image of Mario in the end.

If they had known that "Super Mario Bros. " would sell so well, why would they have opened their mouths.

Compared with the sales of the game, they are no longer a loss-making sale, they are completely free of charge.

So when the North American branch passed Mario's game sales back, Nintendo almost vomited blood in distress.

He even scolded Nintendo's North American branch for this, but none of this helped.

After Judy received the task, she immediately went to work, and Li Hua also began to prepare to talk about loans with some banks.

Now that you have chosen to prepare in advance, some things need to be put on the agenda.

For example, if Li Hua buys the copyright of "Alien" by himself, after learning about the situation of Tsingshan Company, it is difficult to say that there will not be a lion who will open his mouth and deliberately ask for a high price.

In Li Hua's view, this copyright must be won, so he needs to be prepared.

And cooperating with big banks is a very good choice, and if they come forward and mediate from them, things will be much easier.

They want to cooperate with Li Hua, and if they want to make money from Li Hua without much risk, they naturally need to pay something.

Li Hua had already expressed some meaning in this point during the negotiations.

In addition, these big banks also think that this is only the first step of cooperation, and they will definitely try to deepen cooperation in the future, especially if the development of Tsingshan Company is getting better and better.
