Chapter 173: Fire with Wind! Borrow chickens to lay eggs! Enemy Honnoji!
Kicked out.
Although Shen Miaomiao was a little surprised by this result, she didn't express too much annoyance.
After all, up to the end of this project, Lao Gu is a mercenary, who went out to make money and came back with 300,000 dollars.
The wind of gold is definitely not a loss.
The only thing that worries her is whether Lao Gu will be very sad.
Because it can also be seen from the previous state of Lao Gu that he is very optimistic about this IP.
Otherwise, he would not have rushed to take over this errand and rushed to Neon to personally participate in the leading work.
And now, the project has been unilaterally canceled by Komera.
This undoubtedly cut off all of Lao Gu's ideas for this IP.
So, after Gu Sheng informed her to get ready, Silent Hill was going to be canceled nine times out of ten.
Shen Miaomiao's first reaction was to ask Gu Sheng rhetorically, what do you think of this sudden situation.
What can Gu Sheng think!
Falk Komera!
Really!
Silent Hill PT will bring bad luck!
In his previous life, Hideo Kojima had a falling out with Konami executives during the production of this work and ran away from K Society.
Now, he himself has retaken the old path of his brother on the island, although the process is slightly different, but the result is still the same result.
Even, the situation he encountered was even more outrageous than Hideo Kojima!
Due to the temporary change of fortune of Komela!
The IP of Silent Hill is completely finished nine times out of ten.
After all, this master has repeatedly failed in the horror game genre and has suffered comprehensive losses.
Comela can't do Silent Hill.
But the copyright is in the hands of Kemera again.
This IP is wasted.
It seems that in this world, Silent Hill has not become a classic life.
Gu Sheng was quite sorry.
But it's just a pity.
After all!
At the beginning, he had kept an eye on it, and he hadn't mentioned Silent Hill's idea and design to anyone in the Komela!
So!
For Komela, all he has left is a 30-minute demo version worth two million!
On average, it's more than 60,000 yuan per minute!
It can be called a humanoid self-propelled money printing machine!
Of course, due to the huge success of PT, it can be regarded as temporarily bringing fire to the IP popularity of Silent Hill, allowing the descendants of Kemera to enjoy the coolness.
After coming and going, the two sides seemed to be even.
No one earns, no one loses.
But!
Is this really the case?
Don't forget!
First of all!
Although Silent Hill PT has brought fire to this long-standing IP in the hands of Kemera, it has also achieved Gu Sheng!
With the pinnacle of psychological fear shaping in this demo version, Gu Sheng successfully won the titles of savior of horror games and the father of psychological horror!
It is even directly called the "king of horror games" by many domestic and foreign media players!
This kind of recognition is even heavier than many awards in the gaming industry!
Because this is the recognition of the market!
Secondly!
At the beginning, Yuki's inspiration came to him, and he proposed "protagonist identity supplement"!
With Yuki's suggestion, Gu Sheng slightly changed the ending of Silent Hill PT, and made a conclusion for the confusing identity of the protagonist in his previous life!
A fearless journalist who has the courage to explore the truth โ Miles Apsher โ is born!
And Miles will become the key to Gu Sheng's opening of the horror game universe!
This key has nothing to do with Silent Hill IP!
This is a super foreshadowing that Gu Sheng has laid for himself and for the wind of gold!
As for the end -
I heard Gu Sheng smile and say to Yuki on the phone:
"So Yuki, you're calling today just to tell us that Komela will develop Silent Hill alone?"
And at this time!
Yuki has been shocked by Gu Sheng's precaution and strategy!
What a thief, this man!
Don't look at his usual amiable temperament, he is affectionate to everyone when he is neon, and he is full of sincerity and sincerity.
But in fact, this product has been precautionary for a long time, and its sense of smell is extremely keen!
Outrageous.
Yuki was stunned.
Director Gu is obviously just a person of the same age as her, but his cunning level is far beyond that of people of this age, and even a little bit of an old fritter.
"Ah...... I ......"
Yuki felt as if he had provided a false message, and was confused:
"I'll just ...... Nothing else. โ
"Really?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows:
"Think again? For example, after leaking the news to me...... Where do you go to do things or something? โ
"Ah...... Yes! Yeah! โ
After Gu Sheng's reminder, Yuki reacted and slapped his head:
"There's another thing, it's ......"
Yuki was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
The current situation made her feel that she was talking to the Golden Wind about the conditions, as if the purpose was not pure.
But in fact, if she really wants to negotiate conditions, she doesn't have to be so eager to leak the news.
Yuki is still young and thin-skinned.
Unlike Sato, he took over the conversation as soon as he opened his mouth and said:
"And in terms of salary, how much can Director Gu give us?"
As the saying goes, if a person is just smart, then he will probably not be particularly happy, because he has a keen sense and has a lot of scruples.
And if a person is just shameless, then he probably won't be particularly comfortable, because his unmeasured behavior will make him miss many opportunities.
And Muneki Sato.
A smart and shameless man.
Whether it is invincible or not, let's talk about it.
At the very least, he can make himself comfortable and happy.
And the appearance of Sato's voice undoubtedly gave Gu Sheng an extra surprise!
"So ......"
Gu Shengle said:
"There's no third person listening to this call, right?"
Sato knew that Director Gu was referring to Okura Kazu.
But it's a pity.
Sato said with a little regret: "Okura's father has always been in poor health, and he is the only son in the family, so he ......"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's understandable, there's still a chance in the future,"
Gu Sheng was not too disappointed, and expressed deep understanding:
"Then now, let's ask our Mr. Shen to personally talk to the two of you about salary!"
As he spoke, Gu Sheng looked at Shen Miaomiao, and a sly light flashed in his eyes.
Not bad!
Once on the throne! The fire borrowed the power of the wind and created a prestige in one fell swoop!
Two leave foreshadowing! Borrow chickens and eggs to create a personal label key!
Three digging cores! Wagner mode activated, the enemy in the Honnoji Temple!
Lose? It is impossible to lose money!
Not only is there no loss, Gu Sheng is about to make money!
Say it!
I saw Gu Sheng raise his eyebrows at Xiao Nezha: Come on, it's time for you to get out of the horse, and you are in charge of paying for it.
And Shen Miaomiao handed over an inquiring look: How much do you think is appropriate?
Gu Sheng drew a four with his left hand and a three with his right hand.
Male left, female right.
The main planner Sato is 400,000, and the main beauty Yuki is 300,000.
This is the salary of the two of them that he learned about when he was neon before.
As far as the salary of the game industry is concerned, the salary in China is about 10%-15% lower than that of Neon.
Therefore, compared with domestic practitioners of the same level, the remuneration of the two is higher.
It's not much higher, though.
After all, Sato is only the main manager in one of Komela's studios, and Yuki has not been in the company for a long time.
After prompting, Gu Sheng also smiled slightly, picked up the paper cup and made a small plum toast, indicating that his work of digging people has been completed, and it will be up to you to perform.
And Shen Miaomiao, who received Lao Gu's signal, also made an OK gesture to show that she was clear.
opened his mouth and said: "Then let's simply double it first, Mr. Sato is 800,000, Yuki is 600,000." โ
Poofโโ!!!
The water that Gu Sheng just drank in!
I almost choked myself to death!
He looked at Xiao Nezha with wide eyes, and his eyes were full of confusion and shock!
How much?!
How much do you charge them both?!
800,000 and 600,000?!
My annual salary is only 500,000 yuan, hey!
And at the same time, Sato on the other end of the phone was also trembling!
"Ah...... Uh...... Me, huh? โ
Sato was numb, and even thought he had heard it wrong!
Originally, he thought that as a manufacturer that was still developing, Golden Wind would definitely not be able to compare with an old manufacturer like Kemera in terms of salary.
And he is also ready to take a pay cut.
After all, what he mainly values is the future development potential of this company under Gu Sheng's leadership.
Outcome!
Not only did the salary not drop, but it doubled?!
I can't figure it out! I can't figure it out!
"This ...... This...... I ......"
Sato didn't know what to say for a while.
Yuki, who was still on the other side, answered the phone with a smile: "Then we'll go to you in two days, oh dear." โ
"Well, okay," Shen Miaomiao chuckled, "I'll pick you up then." โ
Let's go.
The phone hangs up.
Yuki stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Sato, who looked sluggish: "Sato-senpai? What do you think? โ
"Huh? Yes! โ
Sato reacted at this time, blinking his confused eyes:
"I'm thinking...... Is this Mr. Shen's rejection of us? Remind us in this euphemistic way? โ
Yuki sneered:
"Of course not, didn't she make it clear on the phone?"
"But that doesn't make sense?"
Sato is puzzled!
"And...... And aren't you shocked? โ
"Me, hey, I'm fine,"
To this, Yuki just shrugged and smiled:
"Because it's like something Miaomi can do."
Sato was puzzled: "You mean this is the way the Golden Wind works?" โ
"No," Yuki shook her head, "I mean her dad is one of the biggest chaebols in Huaguo. โ
Sato:......
โฆโฆ
"Isn't it?!"
Meanwhile!
In the president's office!
Gu Sheng wiped his mouth and looked at Shen Miaomiao with a suspicious gaze:
"You really opened your mouth to come, huh? One hundred and eighty thousand, one hundred and sixty thousand? I'm only 500,000! โ
Seeing Gu Sheng's appearance, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh, and sneered: "What? Didn't you dig people up, jealous? โ
"It's not a jealous thing,"
Gu Sheng raised his hand and followed the good path:
"It's your salary that is far beyond the level of our company, I don't care, but what will everyone think if they know it?"
Gu Sheng wanted to say that such treatment is not conducive to the unity of the company.
However, Shen Miaomiao shrugged: "Who said that it is beyond the level of our company, they will surpass you, I am preparing to raise the annual salary of the big guy from tomorrow." โ
Gu Sheng: ?
"Not me?" Gu Sheng tilted his head and asked a question mark face.
Shen Miaomiao spread her hands with an innocent face: "You don't care." โ
โOK๏ผ OK๏ผ OK๏ผ โ
Gu Sheng laughed and made a gesture, stood up and was about to walk out the door:
"Alas, I just heard that Xunteng's side seems to be in a bad mood recently, I think they should need me more, according to my current value, I dare not say more, there should be no problem with a hundred upwards, let's go! Surrender to the enemy! โ
"Oops! Other! Kidding around, brother! โ
Seeing this, Shen Miaomiao hurriedly jumped up from her seat and grabbed Gu Sheng's arm:
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, it's easy to discuss, it's easy to discuss......"
"Humph!"
Gu Sheng waved his hand:
"The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under the people for a long time!"
"One and a half million!"
Seeing that he couldn't hold Gu Sheng, Shen Miaomiao directly opened his mouth and showed a killing move!
Gu Sheng's footsteps stopped, and he coughed lightly: "What the public said is that it makes people see the sun, and the mouth is suddenly opened, but it's ......!" โ
Shen Miaomiao couldn't hold back a smile and interrupted:
"One more VP position!"
Hiss!
Gu Sheng couldn't help but gasp, turned around immediately, and bowed to Shen Miaomiao!
"Gu Piao has been living for half his life, and he only hates not meeting the master! If the public does not give up, a certain wish is saddled before and after the horse! โ
Shen Miaomiao giggled, and the flowers trembled!
Not bad!
Now, the wind of gold is officially on the right track, with APEX and PUBG, two major multiplayer online projects, as well as a number of independent game sales, stable profits and a stronger family foundation.
Shen Miaomiao felt that it was time to raise the wages of the comrades in the company.
After all, a wage increase is a cost increase.
And the matter of rising costs, in the long run, is absolutely beneficial to her!
If it is said that when they were fledgling and used 2 million to produce "Ghost Phobia", she had 10 million to invest, would she be a stable loss?
If it is said that when they made their debut in Asia and produced "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" at a cost of 50 million, she had 500 million to invest, would she be a stable loss?
For another example, when they first became an escort developer, and when they produced "Titanfall" at a cost of 170 million, she had 1.7 billion to invest, did she lose money?
You must know that the growth rate and breadth of the market are limited.
So theoretically, as long as her investment is large enough, it is impossible for her profits to catch up with her losses.
Let's take an example of an extreme point.
Suppose I now spend 5 billion to invest in a game, priced at 500 yuan, and Yiyou x2 is exclusive, and the system gives the longest basic rebate settlement time, which lasts for one month.
You sell it.
You are the king of heaven, and it is impossible for it to return to its roots!
Because the global sales of Yiyou X2 are only a few million units today!
And to recoup the cost, the game needs to sell at least 10 million copies!
So!
Salary increase and cost increase is definitely a broad road to loss!
If you can't lose money!
It means that the cost is not enough!
A salary increase is imperative!
Originally, Shen Miaomiao was still thinking about what reason to use to mention this matter.
And now!
coincided with Kemera's treachery, and Lao Gu took a salary to rebel against the two generals!
It's a good time!
This is an adjustment!
The first is to raise the project budget in the future and pave the way for losing money!
The second is to buy people's hearts and minds, so that the two 'generals' who came from neon all the way are dead!
The third is to organize the company's internal structure, enhance cohesion, and make sprint preparations in order to enter the [billion club]!
Kill three birds with one stone!
Wonderful joy! Gu Sheng's blood earns! Yuki Sato rejoices! The winds of gold are rushing together! Everyone is satisfied! Peace of mind!
And here comes the question -
Who's in a hurry?
