Chapter 461: The EA Troika
"Boss?!"
Ma Youpeng asked.
Gu Siwei waved his hand and said, "I have thought of a new game, and I will write it out later to apply for a patent."
“……”。
Ma Youpeng was a little confused, and said in his heart: Boss, can you not be so capable, if you want to continue to work here, the company will simply not need a designer, just go into battle directly.
Ma Youpeng's side doesn't know much about Gu Siwei's game design level - well, he doesn't know much about it, he thinks these things are quite simple, whether it's the boss's game of playing beads, or that California cube, it's not very good.
Yes, Gu Siwei is so shameless, people are obviously Tetris, he was stunned to change it to California cubes.
Why?
Because now Lao Mei and Lao Su are pinching their strength, a Chinese in the United States to play a game called Tetris, Gu Siwei is guilty of taking such a political risk, since you want to mix in California, then you have to be shy with a smile, earn money, not ashamed!
So in this plane, Tetris is gone, and California is born.
At this time, the secretary came: "Boss, Manager Guan, they are coming".
As soon as Gu Siwei and Guan Youpeng looked up, they found two young people in their early twenties, one of medium stature, with a chicken nest head on his head, looking a little sloppy.
The other one looks very ordinary, but it looks a lot cleaner, and it doesn't have any characteristics, and it belongs to the kind of people who can't tell the difference in the crowd here.
As soon as Gu Siwei saw this, he felt that this was a standard kicked practitioner
It was the dwarf winter melon that appeared that was the protagonist of this interview, that is, Mr. Joe Hawkins.
"Joe, this way"
Ma Youpeng stood up and waved at the two people at the door.
When Qiao saw it, he smiled at Ma Youpeng and walked over.
"Mike".
That's a greeting.
"This is my friend, Gil Amelio".
Applying for a job and bringing a friend here? Gu Siwei thinks these old beauties are really interesting, but the main thing here in Silicon Valley is not casualness, but creativity.
After a polite casual handshake, everyone sat down.
A few people who ordered a drink started chatting as if they were chatting.
Now talking about games, talking about arcade machines naturally can't escape the popular pong, chatting and chatting everyone talked about this game.
Ma Youpeng threw out EA's pioneering masterpiece, that is, the pinball game designed by Gu Siwei.
When Qiao heard Ma Youpeng's explanation, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to pick up the things that Ma Youpeng had painted from Sichuan, and looked at them carefully, thinking about them while looking at them.
"This game?"
"This is our company's Taoist game, don't worry, we have applied for a patent for it," Ma Youpeng said with a smile.
Joe opened his mouth and said, "I want to know how the new company is treated."
Ma Youpeng didn't say much and directly talked about the company's treatment, not only salary and bonuses, but also equity incentives.
Gu Siwei really doesn't mind using these Yankees as mules, but he really doesn't dare, as a foreigner, he wants to do anything here, Gu Siwei believes that the US government will not be soft at all because it is a foreign capital, on the contrary, the stick must be the most ruthless and heavy.
Originally, I didn't think about making some mess, and with the new company, Gu Siwei's treatment was naturally good, at least it was more than the top and the bottom.
"I don't have a problem!" Joe said with a smile.
After Gu Siwei listened, he stretched out his hand to Joe: "Joe, welcome to EA."
After shaking hands with Gu Siwei, Joe Hawkins pointed to Jill next to him and said: "Let me introduce you again, this is my friend Jill, although he is lacking in technology, but he still has experience in management, and I want to partner with him."
"Sales market?" Gu Siwei hesitated a little.
Americans will engage in bundling, but the company's top management will not tolerate bundling Gu Siwei, and if the company becomes a hall of words, then he, the boss, will have to be afraid.
"No, it's project management," says Joe Hawkins.
Hearing that it was project management, Gu Siwei relaxed a little.
After asking about Jill's resume, I learned that Jill worked at Feiji Semiconductor, and Feizhao was not famous in the hearts of ordinary people in later generations, but at the moment it was the first microchip manufacturer in Silicon Valley. Of course, if it were to be changed to another name, it would be impossible for computer students not to know - Fairchild.
How about it, do you have kryptonite dog eyes that blind you?
Liang is blind to you, but there is no Liang blind Gu Siwei, he knows the fairy child of a bird, he doesn't know the prestige of the fairy child in the semiconductor in the future, but he knows that the fairy child is a very bullish existence at the moment.
And the thirty-year-old Jill Amelio, in Gu Siwei's era, was the president of the famous Rotten Apple, although his light was overshadowed by the gangster, but when he took office, Rotten Apple faced no funds available after a few weeks, and when he was ousted by the gangster, he left dozens of dollars of funds to the Rotten Apple and the gangmaster.
If Gu Siwei really understands IT, Jill must be a god, and the godhead is not as high as the helper, but he is definitely a demigod.
It's a pity that Lao Gu doesn't know, or how to say that Maxima is commonly used, Bole is not often available.
However, Lao Gu is very interested in Jill's work in Fairchild, that is, the development of microchips, and he will not be sleepy when he hears this Gu Siwei.
Jill couldn't reveal any secrets, but Gu Siwei listened to it with relish.
After listening, Gu Siwei said to Jill: "On behalf of EA, I want to invite you to join."
How can you do games without hardware, he also desperately hopes that there will be someone who is engaged in hardware, even if someone who understands hardware joins in, since everyone has sent it to the door by himself, how can Gu Siwei not want it.
Jill is living in Fairchild at the moment, not much better or worse, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out with his friend Joe.
"Please give me time to think about it," Jill thought for a moment, deciding not to make a hasty decision now, and to see what the Asian was going to do.
People in their early thirties, not to mention the old and the young, can no longer live like young people.
Gu Siwei was not in a hurry, chatted with the two for a while, and then asked the secretary to take the two of them to see the office space prepared for EA.
And Gu Siwei and Guan Youpeng have to wait for Ron Hayek.
Ron is older, forty years old, which is the golden age of a man's career, and Ron walked out of the original company in search of a better time.
The secretary had just left with Joe and Jill when Ron arrived.
This time, the main thing to talk about is Guan Youpeng, Gu Siwei is really not good at business or something, but Guan Youpeng is indeed a good player.
Half an hour later, Guan Youpeng gave Gu Siwei a signal, which meant that this person was good.
So Ron joined EA and became EA's sales manager.
What Gu Siwei didn't know was that Ron had been unemployed at home for a few months at this time, as for Ron's resume, if the headhunter's words were to be believed by all, then what a ghost would be, and there would be a word to be packaged and sold in the future, could it be that people are so stupid now that they can't do this?
That's certainly not the case. Ron's resume is nowhere near as good as the headhunter writes.
Originally, Ron was still a little tsundere, and his sales performance was good, so he thought it was easy to change jobs, so it was actually quite hasty to leave the previous company, thinking that he would soon find a new company.
It's a pity that reality quickly slapped him in the face, and no one wanted to hire him. Someone wanted to hire him, but the salary he was offered was not acceptable to him.
It's not easy to go back to the original industry, because it involves industry terms.
If a few months ago, someone told Ron that an Asian-owned company wanted to hire him, Ron wouldn't come for an interview because he didn't think it was reliable.
But right now, Ron really didn't have a good choice.
At this moment, Ron joined EA with the mentality of riding a donkey to find a horse.
Similarly, Gu Siwei also has the same mentality, temporarily looking for someone to build a shelf, waiting for the shelf to be set up, the stage is up, and if it is not suitable, then replace it.
In short, both sides have small abacus, which is also a normal thing, no one is determined to go down the ground as soon as they come into contact, and they are married or divorced, let alone have a career together.
Small company opening, there is nothing to pick, even if you pick, people will not come, no one is a fool, no one thinks you are the protagonist of this world, see you bow down, there is no thing, so now someone has to put the company's shelf up, and get the first generation of products out, that is the most important thing.
With Ron decided, Gu Siwei and Guan Youpeng rushed to EA's office with him, where they met Jill and Joe, who had not yet left.
Jill saw the company's office house at this time, saw the huge EA ligatures on the lawn at the door, and felt that this company was really presentable, and when he saw that such a large office room was all for the company, he already had a tendency in his heart.
At the moment, EA's office conditions can be said to be quite good, no matter how you look at it, it is also presentable, and it quickly began to prepare for the development of the first product, and the financial support of the parent company is also quite powerful.
All of this made Jill feel like he should take a gamble.
decided to gamble, and when Jill saw Gu Siwei, he accepted Gu Siwei's invitation.
Sometimes, fate is so wonderful, a simple interview, a normal meeting, EA's three carriages are so vaguely matched.
The next thing is to recruit people and buy equipment, which is the benefit of the company in Silicon Valley, many things are very convenient to buy, whether it is chips or electronic devices, if there is no here, there will probably be no other places.
As a Silicon Valley bastard, Joe and Jill naturally knew a lot of technicians, so soon a group of technical backbones gathered, and with the new graduates recruited and interns from nearby colleges and universities, EA officially opened.
There are no firecrackers, no lion dances, and no indigo, an IT sampan like EA has opened its sails in a well-styled abandoned factory and sailed to the sea of the market.
