Just when Chen Lin was preparing to gather people.

Inside the Dawn Studio.

Lao Song was holding his mobile phone and standing in front of the window with a serious face.

"Old Song, the two of us have been working together for many years, right?"

The voice of Yang Liang, the director of Xingyou, rang out from the other end of the phone.

"It's been quite a long time, why did Mr. Yang suddenly remember to tell me this?"

Lao Song's face was slightly gloomy, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

With his understanding of Yang Liang, this guy definitely came here with a purpose.

Sure enough.

After a moment of silence, Yang Liang got straight to the point and said, "Xingyou wants to buy out the game "Killing the Spire", and I hope you can help introduce it." ”

Buying out the Killing Spire?

Lao Song chuckled in his heart, and his expression was a little subtle.

Obviously, seeing the rapid explosion of the Killing Spire, Xingyou finally couldn't sit still, so he hit the idea on him.

took a deep breath and said lightly: "Since you want to talk about a buyout, shouldn't you contact the game publisher himself?" ”

"We've been in touch before, and we've offered a good price, but the designer doesn't seem to appreciate it." Yang Liang's voice gradually cooled.

"I heard...... The follow-up production of this game is also the sole responsibility of your Dawn, right? ”

"What do you mean?" Old Song's heart tightened.

"It's not interesting, didn't you say you wanted us to help make it together? I'm going to send a few people to help you, what do you think? ”

Although Yang Liang's words were inquiry, he couldn't hear the slightest hint of solicitation.

If it was changed to before, when the game was not yet popular, Lao Song would definitely gladly agree to this request.

But now it's different.

The Killing Spire has a tendency to explode, and how many manufacturers are staring at it like wolves outside.

Once anything goes wrong, it's not so easy to undo.

Even the employees in his studio all signed the highest level of confidentiality agreement before receiving the follow-up production of the game from Chen Lin.

Now a few more outsiders will come in.

You don't have to think about it to know what Xingyou'an's heart is.

Lao Song was very angry in his heart.

Whether it was for the credibility of the studio or for the relationship with Chen Lin, it was impossible for him to agree to this rude request.

It's like trying to push him and the studio into the fire pit!

"If it's for this matter, then please go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to help."

After speaking, hang up the phone directly, without giving the other party a chance to react.

Because he could completely imagine Yang Liang's angry expression.

At the same time, I also know very well that if I explicitly refuse like this, I will definitely offend Xingyou, and the next days are estimated to be difficult.

As expected.

Less than ten minutes have passed.

An employee scurried in from the outside.

"Boss, something is wrong! Arc Light and Hanyou said that they would terminate our previous cooperation project! ”

Then.

Another employee showed up with a report.

"Boss, Xinghe just called over and said that the outsourcing we negotiated with before has found other partners!"

Galaxy Studios.

It is the largest studio controlled by Xingyou.

Their attitude is equivalent to the attitude of Xingyou.

Suddenly changing partners at this time, the meaning is already obvious, that is, I want to suppress him through this method and force him to comply!

Bang!

Lao Song slammed his fist on the desk, and his arms were full of bruised tendons.

As an industry insider, how could he not know the stench of this industry.

But even so, in order to survive, he still had to soak himself in this big dye vat, drifting with the flow, powerless to change.

As long as there are emerging forces that want to share the cake, they will be jointly suppressed by large factories and will do everything they can.

It's so hard to get ahead!

"Am I still not a good fit for this industry......

Old Song sat on the chair dejectedly, looking at the vehicles and pedestrians outside the window.

He remembered the vigor of his youth, the arrogance of the first day of the studio, and the intention to do something big.

Can be final.

But he still fell on the reluctance to bow his head.

He couldn't stop laughing at himself.

After a long time, he looked up tiredly as if he had made some kind of decision: "Go, call everyone in, I'm going to announce something." ”

......

After the meeting.

More than a dozen employees of the studio walked out of the office one after another with a heavy heart.

Lao Song did not hide them, and told the studio's current situation all about it, preparing to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

He will not treat those who are willing to stay.

And made a promise that if anyone wanted to leave, they would pay their severance pay at three times their salary when the construction period was over.

In this era of 996 normalcy.

There aren't many bosses who can do that to that extent.

Even when they left the office, the two clerical girls were wiping tears and sobbing quietly.

They are really reluctant to get along with this team for so long and the familiar environment.

Of course.

There are also people who are entangled and look a little hesitant.

After hesitating outside the door for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to turn back and come to Lao Song, who closed his eyes alone and recuperated.

"Considered it?"

Old Song didn't open his eyes, as if he had known that they would come.

The three of them glanced at each other, and then said solemnly: "Think about it, please ask the boss for approval." ”

“......”

Lao Song didn't speak, and looked up at the three people standing in front of him.

These three people were already there when he established the studio, and they are also the oldest employees.

Although they were very surprised by their departure, they did not show it.

After all, people go to high places, and water flows to low places.

Staying in this small studio for so many years without complaining is also considered benevolent.

"Let's go, go to a big factory to develop, it's really much better than my small place, and I will pay you the salary as usual."

"Boss ......"

One of them opened his mouth, obviously not expecting that Lao Song would know about them being poached by the big factory.

A hint of panic flashed on the faces of the other two.

But now that you've made up your mind, there's no way back.

"I'm sorry I can't stay at Dawn anymore."

"Thank you boss!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Lao Song, as if thanking him for taking care of him over the years.

"Alright, alright." Lao Song waved his hand, "Give the resignation to personnel, and you can leave after the work is handed over." ”

After speaking, he turned his back directly, unwilling to look at the three of them again.

......

The handover was done quickly.

The person who left that afternoon completed all the formalities and left the studio under the watchful eyes of the other employees.

After all, the project is divested, and there is not much work at hand.

Instead of hanging in vain, it is better to settle the settlement and leave quickly, which is also an advantage of small size.

The original dozen people in Dawn Studio have also been reduced to ten, all of whom are employees with a strong sense of belonging to the studio.

Finish all the work.

Lao Song picked up his mobile phone to contact Chen Lin and told him about it, after all, they still have cooperation.

However.

What Lao Song didn't expect at all was.

When he heard him say that he wanted to disband the studio, Chen Lin's happy voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Song, don't disband the studio, transfer it to my name, I just don't need people."

"Are you sure!?"
