2 Chapter 2
Jiang Qiubai didn't intend to drag his salary like the original owner of this body from the beginning.
Although the salary will make the already small balance worse, even if it is not paid, it will not last long with this money alone.
After weighing the two phases, it is better to pay the salary first to stabilize the morale of the army.
Of course, Jiang Qiubai also had some thoughts of making up for the mistakes of the original owner, after all, in the memories he received, the original owner had the calculation of delaying if he could, and running away if he couldn't.
It's so punishable.
It's just that before paying his salary, he has to reverse his image.
At the beginning, the original body embarked on the road of game production with great ambition, and did not hesitate to poach people in large companies, wanting to directly build a mature team.
As a result, halfway through the digging, I found that the budget was not enough, so I had to find a few fresh graduates in the university next to me, and painted cakes for them one by one, fooling people.
After more than half a year of running-in, although these employees have only been helping to get started, but fortunately, they have been here for so long, and they still understand the original game content, and they should be able to get started soon when modifying.
Jiang Qiubai made up his mind, and there were a few more employees who could stay later.
"As you all know, the studio has been having a bit of a hard time lately, and the money left isn't enough to finish the game." Jiang Qiubai's tone was as sincere as his eyes: "So I decided to suspend the development of the game, integrate the existing materials, and rush to produce a new game to be listed urgently, so as to relieve the company's financial pressure." ”
The studio is dying, this is a tacit thing for everyone, but no one dares to say it in front of him when it comes to the face of the boss. Now Jiang Qiubai took the initiative to break it first, and such a frank behavior made the employees look at him a little impressed.
In particular, he has taken the initiative to come up with new, somewhat feasible-sounding solutions.
"I don't force you to leave, but if you're willing to stay-" Jiang Qiubai got up and looked at them one by one, looking determined and confident: "I promise that after the success of the new game, everyone's salary will be doubled, and the bonus will be calculated separately." ”
The spirit of the crowd was shocked.
Double the salary?
And bonuses!
It's a pie-in-the-sky thing!
But who is the person in front of him, he is one of the three famous painters in modern times, specializing in painting cakes.
The cake that Jiang Qiubai painted in the past was big and round, and he was promoted and raised at every turn, and he reached the peak of his life. After they entered the studio, they ate the flatbread to the fullest, not to mention anything else.
Who knows if this is a piece of cake newly painted by Jiang Qiubai.
Seeing that although everyone was a little moved, no one was willing to be the first to stand up and express their attitude, Jiang Qiubai did not urge, but turned the topic back to salary: "Later, everyone will come in one by one to receive their wages, whether you leave or stay, the salary that should be paid will not be less than you." ”
This sentence was like a shot in the arm, and once again gave Jiang Qiubai a wave of goodwill.
After saying this, Jiang Qiubai walked straight back to his separate office.
Only then did everyone relax and exchange opinions in a whisper.
"Did the boss take the wrong medicine today? Give us such good conditions. ”
"Whatever, get your salary first."
"Eh, will you leave after the salary is in hand?" Someone is undecided.
"Definitely go, don't you leave and stay here for the New Year?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this company won't live to the New Year at all, didn't you see him say, after the success of the new game. Anyone with a little brain knows that with him, the new game will definitely not succeed. "It's a determined thing to go.
"I think the boss's new approach may work, and the game will always ease the pressure on the studio's funds after it goes public."
"I also think, let's wait a few more months and see, and then I can't go." This is to think that the method that Jiang Qiubai said before is feasible.
"It's not that I don't want to leave, but no company wants me after the problem is gone......"
"Last month, I submitted more than a dozen resumes in a row and were rejected, and I was lonely." There's no choice.
The group that had just united and was ready to fight against Jiang Qiubai split instantly, and the person who was undecided gritted his teeth: "Lao Liu, can you go?" I'll follow you. ”
He was mostly taken care of by Lao Liu in the studio, and wanted to be with Lao Liu.
"Me?" Lao Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm old and can't walk anymore, so staying here and taking one step at a time is a step." ”
That means staying.
"Then let's do it together." The man made up his mind.
In less than a minute, everyone had made a decision: all but three of them were determined to leave, and the rest planned to stay for a few more months.
After making an appointment to have one last dinner after work, Lao Liu was the first to walk into Jiang Qiubai's office.
"You may be seated." Jiang Qiubai was not as casual as before, folded his hands to support his chin, and said gently to Lao Liu.
Facing this Jiang Qiubai, who behaved completely different from before, Lao Liu sat down a little restrainedly.
Jiang Qiubai took the initiative to report a number: "Is that these?" ”
Although the finance resigned, the tables they had made before were still there, and Jiang Qiubai calculated their respective salaries according to the tables.
"Yes, yes." Lao Liu nodded, kept rubbing his fingers, and his heartbeat was a little faster because of nervousness.
"Director Liu, I have seen your ability and contribution to the studio during this time." After paying the salary, Jiang Qiubai entered the topic: "If you are willing to stay, I will give you an additional part of the dividend after the new game is launched." ”
Among these employees, Director Liu is the one Jiang Qiubai wants to stay the most, in the memory of the original owner, this is a diligent person like an old scalper, and judging from everyone's attitude towards him just now, he is quite popular as a supervisor.
If such a person can stay, it will be much easier for Jiang Qiubai to manage the studio.
"Boss, do you think the new game will be a success?" Lao Liu didn't ask for more in terms of salary, clenched his fists, looked at Jiang Qiubai and said seriously.
"With me, it will." Jiang Qiubai looked at Lao Liu without hesitation, and his pure black eyes were full of confidence.
"Okay, I'll stay." Lao Liu nodded heavily, and finally made up his mind: "If the studio is still in difficulty, my salary can be temporarily waived." ”
"Not really, it's not there yet." Jiang Qiubai's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "You go back and sort out the information first, and let the next person come in." ”
Lao Liu Yiyan turned around and returned to his workstation, his heart still beating violently.
When everyone was discussing it just now, what he was embarrassed to say was-
After seeing Jiang Qiubai's sincere and serious eyes, for a moment, he completely believed Jiang Qiubai.
I believe that he can lead everyone to success.
But reason told him that the possibility was too small, so small that it was almost negligible.
Therefore, he himself is willing to stay here and continue to work hard for this look, but he can't affect other people's judgment because of this.
The next person to walk into the office was the one who was in a hurry to leave his job, and after getting his salary, he couldn't wait to express his desire to leave.
Jiang Qiubai was not reluctant, and generously expressed his blessings, which can be regarded as a good gathering and dispersion.
After some tossing, I finally settled all the salaries and determined the people who stayed.
Looking at the balance in his hand that was about to go to zero, Jiang Qiubai sighed.
Hurry up and decide on the genre of the new game today.
Outside the office, employees who are about to leave are packing up their things and saying goodbye to each other.
At this time, it was not suitable for a group meeting, Jiang Qiubai thought about it and called Lao Liu in alone.
"Have you sorted out all the information for the previous games?"
Lao Liu was a little embarrassed: "I'm still sorting out, and there are more design drafts." ”
"It's okay, take your time." Jiang Qiubai replied casually, as if casually, "By the way, how did we plan it in the first place?" ”
The original owner doesn't have much to do with the game in his memory, and it seems that he established this studio just because he thinks it's more profitable to make games, and he doesn't care about things on weekdays, and is only responsible for reviewing funds.
Jiang Qiubai vaguely turned out a few exquisite pictures related to the game from his memory, which seemed to be the real scene of the game.
I remember this because it cost a lot of money, which impressed the original owner.
It doesn't look bad, Jiang Qiubai thought bitterly: The original owner may want to make a 3A masterpiece with beautiful pictures.
This is quite easy to change, and the previous game design experience made Jiang Qiubai instantly have a few ideas in his mind.
"We originally wanted to make an FPS (first-person shooting) type of girl dress-up game, but later found that if it was all hand-drawn, the workload of scene rendering would be too much......" Lao Liu also knew that Jiang Qiubai usually didn't care about this, and replied carefully.
Well, that's true......
Huh?
Wait a minute?
FPS? Teenage dress-up?
How are the two connected?!
"You say it again?" Jiang Qiubai couldn't help but interrupt him.
Lao Liu repeated again in confusion.
Okay, really good.
Jiang Qiubai nodded and gritted his teeth secretly.
What kind of play is this way of playing with the donkey's head against the horse's mouth?
The original owner is not bankrupt, who is bankrupt!
"And what's the main plot of the game?"
Jiang Qiubai asked with the last glimmer of hope.
If the plot can be seen, it can be taken out separately and used.
"Boss, you told us before: FPS games...... Still need a plot? Lao Liu replied hesitantly.
