Xu Zhe feels that there are times in life when a sense of ritual is still needed.

So on the day when "Ski Escape" was launched, he called Shen Lan and came to the company's office.

The registered place of Lanzhe Technology is next door to the new site of Chongkai Technology. Although it is still not magnificent, this place is at least much better than the small broken office at the beginning, at least it has the appearance of a company.

It's just that there's space in the office. Except for Uncle Song, who has been stationed here for a long time, there is not a single employee so far. And in this room belonging to Chongkai Technology, there is also a marching bed in the center.

Song Huaifeng couldn't help but scratch his head: "I'm sorry, it may be a little messy." ”

He knew that although the two young people in front of him were young, one was more powerful than the other, and if it really mattered about professional relationships, they were the bosses.

Xu Zhe is the boss of these two companies, and Shen Lan is the second boss of one of them. As for Song Huaifeng, he was the only employee in both companies, which helped the two bosses avoid the embarrassment of the commander of the light pole.

Shen Lan suddenly asked, "Uncle, the bathroom in the office shouldn't be able to take a shower, how did you solve this?" ”

Song Huaifeng: "Of course I rented a room, and it must be no problem to take a shower and wash clothes." It's just that the materials for work are all in the office, and sometimes I sleep here. ”

Xu Zhe didn't need to look to guess that the house Uncle Song rented was definitely the cheapest one, and the cost of living was kept as low as possible, and the main salary income was used to subsidize the family and pay off debts.

So he said, "Now it's two companies, two salaries." Uncle, don't treat yourself too badly, otherwise, I won't be able to talk to Xingye-san. ”

Song Huaifeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not be able to treat myself." ”

There are already several computers in the office, all of which have been prepared by this uncle in the past few days. At this time, Xu Zhe sat down in front of one of the computers, and Shen Lan and Song Huaifeng stood behind him, looking at the screen.

The game has been launched, and at this time you can already see the number of downloads in the background, still hovering in the single digits.

Song Huaifeng: "This is our first game of Lanzhe Technology." ”

Shen Lan was a little apprehensive: "The price is one meter yuan abroad, and six yuan at home...... How many people can buy this? ”

Xu Zhe: "I don't know. No game maker knows what to expect when they're trying something new. By the way, Uncle you texted me last night, we can discuss it here. ”

Song Huaifeng glanced at the girl next to him. He realized that the boss thought that this Shen Lan girl could be deeply involved in the follow-up planning, so he put aside his worries and said:

"Yesterday we were contacted by a company that said they could help us place ads in our game. The price per ad is low, but as long as the player clicks, it will continue to generate revenue. And their proposal is for us to make free games, so that the player base will be bigger, and make money through advertising. ”

Xu Zhe: "My idea is that this way can be tried. Now the question is, let my Chongkai Technology make free games, or your ...... Well, let's do it. ”

Shen Lan asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Xu Zhe: "I'm asking for your opinion. ”

Shen Lan: "But I don't know as much about the game market as you do, so let's talk about your thoughts first, what are the pros and cons of making a free game?" ”

Xu Zhe: "The advantage is that, as people say, the threshold for free mobile games is extremely low, and players don't need to pay money to play, so it's easy to spread." The disadvantage is that it will be a lot more troublesome to monetize, because advertising costs, in the final analysis, we have no initiative, and we are in the hands of others. The second disadvantage is that the company's reputation, or style, may be lower. ”

Shen Lan tilted her head: "They are all mobile games, what else is high and low?" ”

Xu Zhe: "That makes sense. If you're going to play for free, you can hire a few more people, and I'm just responsible for coming up with ideas and letting them do it. The quality of the finished product may not be easy to control. ”

Shen Lan pointed at herself: "Doesn't that mean you don't need me?" In that case, free-to-play games should be done by the average employee you recruited, and I'll implement your more important idea. ”

Xu Zhe nodded: "Yes." ”

Watching the exchange between the two, Song Huaifeng was slightly surprised.

In his impression, although this boss is young, he has always been very assertive, but he is so easy to talk in front of this little girl surnamed Shen?

And what's even more surprising is that Shen Lan showed strong self-confidence - programmers recruited by the society should be better than students in school, right? Even if she is the winner of an informatics competition, but making a game and doing a competition are two different things, and she is so sure that she is better than the programmer recruited from outside?

However, Song Huaifeng immediately realized where people's confidence came from.

The game launched today is said to have been jointly created by her and her boss, and the main work at the code level is still done by her.

Of course, Song Huaifeng has also tried this game. He had to admit that it was indeed better than the first two made by the boss. However, before that, he subconsciously attributed the improvement of the quality of the game to the progress of Xu Zhe, the boss, and the better materials provided by the outsourced art......

At this time, about the next game, Xu Zhe and Shen Lan talked again.

Shen Lan pulled over an office chair and sat in front of Xu Zhe. The two had a lively chat.

Song Huaifeng stepped aside, took out his mobile phone, and hesitated to send a message to his daughter - of course he knew who his girl's favorite person was. But now it seems that the daughter's emotional road will become quite bumpy, because a powerful boss is blocking that road.

But the middle-aged man hesitated for a while and took back his phone.

"Alas, what turn does this kind of thing have to be said by the father? Don't get involved, work matters, work matters......"

Song Huaifeng muttered to himself inaudibly, and sat down in front of another computer a little farther away.

As for the enviable pair of young boys and girls, after a simple conversation, they quickly reached a consensus.

Xu Zhe: "So no matter what, you must recruit people here." ”

Shen Lan: "Okay, but don't blame me if I don't manage it well." ”

Xu Zhe: "You are the boss, you have the final say in what you do." The management of Internet companies is not so particular, and the main thing is a flattening. You don't need to think too complicated about managing the company, it's nothing more than splitting the work tasks, arranging them, and following up in real time. ”

Shen Lan: "Then why didn't you recruit people before?" ”

Xu Zhe: "In the past, the cash flow was not enough, and I was too young to have prestige. Now you're different, and you're an adult anyway. ”

Shen Lan: "But I don't have cash flow here." ”

"It's going to be ......soon," Xu Zhe subconsciously glanced at the screen, "Eh, what do you think I'm talking about?" Pingguo's recommendation notice has arrived! ”

Shen Lan: "So fast?!" ”

Song Huaifeng also stood up in surprise: "How long have we been online, did they react so quickly?" ”
