Chapter 369 Good luck in starting the work (4K)
When we arrived at the entrepreneurial base, all the employees from the "Hero Killer" team of Game Science Studio were already there.
Except for art designer Zeng Mi, who was allowed by Zeng Wenjie to work from home.
Yuan Xiuqin was the first to arrive, which made her feel strange. After all, she was a major student, but she came to Fengyuan to report so early. She had a strange illusion that she had betrayed her alma mater.
Fortunately, the employees had gathered before the New Year, exchanged contact information, and discussed game development matters online during the long holiday. So, when everyone gathered in the office, the scene was lively and there was no awkwardness.
Yuan Xiuqin found that this group of colleagues were really talented, and once again secretly regretted her previous ridiculous idea of judging a person's ability based on his academic qualifications.
The Internet is very lively, and the popularity of the game "Hero Killer" remains high.
Everyone is very curious, how can a team from a second-tier college get investment from Penguin and develop games with Penguin?
Many people questioned whether this was a hype and believed that this game was destined to be a piece of rotten dog meat that was not worthy of being shown on the stage, so it was best not to have too high expectations.
Therefore, the employees of the development team often chat with others online, making this annual holiday quite exciting.
Zeng Wenjie arrived at office 207 on time. The office was completely new and fully equipped, including the most advanced computers.
"Happy New Year, Boss!"
The fourteen new employees greeted their boss in unison.
Except for Chen Qiao and Yuan Xiuqin, these employees were recruited by the leaders of the Wind Institute. They are generally capable and have brilliant resumes.
If Zeng Wenjie was an ordinary young man, he might find it difficult to manage these talents. However, although he is young, he has the endorsement of the province's top ten outstanding awards, and his miraculous entrepreneurial process has convinced everyone.
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Happy New Year everyone, thank you all for coming to work. Here are the red envelopes I prepared for you! Everyone gets a share!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the office erupted in cheers.
So Zeng Wenjie gave out red envelopes of 200 yuan each to everyone, and then went to conference room 209 to hold a meeting.
He distributed more detailed information about "Hero Killer" and after everyone took a look at the information, he began to arrange work.
Halfway through the meeting, the head of the Computer Science Department of Feng College hurried over.
He pushed open the door of the conference room apologetically and said, "Sorry, I'm late. I'm late! Something happened over here and I got delayed!"
Only then did everyone realize that a nominal instructor was missing!
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw this scene. He was just a student, but he had to make the late department head apologize and beg for mercy.
"Director Jiang is here. Come, Director, this is your red envelope for the start of work!" Zeng Wenjie took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Ah? I have one too?" Director Jiang looked confused, then happily took it. "Thank you, boss!"
The director's professional knowledge may not be very strong, but this is a project that will remain in the Wind Institute after all, so of course a leader from the Wind Institute must be arranged to come in and provide guidance on the work.
Of course, as for the bill... just go and settle it with Boss Ma!
After Director Jiang sat down, Zeng Wenjie continued the meeting and experienced the pleasure of having a student give a lecture while the director took notes.
At this moment, Zeng Wenjie wanted to comb his hair into a big back, put on a handsome suit, let his body fat soar to 30%, then change the BGM to "You Come from Three Winters", and give serious instructions: Be sure to connect the computer to a monitor.
Jokes aside, Zeng Wenjie spoke in an orderly manner.
"Director, please contact two announcers and hosts to dub our game, and also find a Chinese classical instrument professional to create the background music for our game..."
Director Jiang immediately wrote it down in his notebook and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Wenjie, leave this matter to me."
He can't provide any guidance, and his main task is to meet some of the demands that Zeng Wenjie puts forward to the school.
The fact that Zeng Wenjie kept the project in Fengyuan was enough to excite the leaders, not to mention that they could get a share of the profits after the game was produced. As long as the conditions he proposed were not too excessive, the school leaders would do their best to meet them.
After the meeting lasted more than an hour, the employees of the "Hero Killer" project immediately adjusted themselves, got into the right state, and started working.
Feng Xiao came over from 208 and said to Chen Qiao, "There's a technical problem next door. Go and solve it."
Chen Qiao smiled helplessly, stood up, and said to Zeng Wenjie, "Boss, then I'll go over and take care of it?"
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Go ahead! Don't forget that you have two jobs."
Chen Qiao smiled proudly, feeling needed and very satisfied. He immediately went to Room 208 to deal with Marennia's technical problems.
Listening to the sound of typing on the keyboard in the office, Zeng Wenjie felt very relieved, as if a high-rise building was gradually rising from its foundation.
"In fact, with your ability, it is also a good choice to abandon those industries, invest in games, and fully embrace Penguin. In this way, you don't have to worry about retaliation." Feng Xiao looked at Zeng Wenjie and said.
"It's not my style to not fight back when someone pushes my head into the water and humiliates me. Besides, you are a good person just because you act like a penguin..." Zeng Wenjie said.
The reason why Tony Ma is so easy to talk to is that he owes someone a favor, right?
He got Happy Landlord for free and launched it very quickly.
By leveraging the existing Dou Dizhu framework and adding Happy Beans chips, the game quickly attracted a large number of loyal card and board game players. Subsequent updates are also being slowly planned, with special poker figures, voiceovers, card tables, and more all expected to be released in subsequent updates.
Boss Ma is very "generous". In the early stage of promotion, each person received 30,000 happy beans every day, which is ten times more than the fixed 3,000 happy beans per day.
With the support of "chips" such as Happy Beans, Happy Landlords became widely popular after its launch. The recharge flow made the people in the Penguin Games Department ecstatic. They never expected that even traditional chess and card games could make money!
Therefore, they are looking forward to Zeng Wenjie launching the game "Hero Killer" more and more.
Zeng Wenjie gave Feng Xiao a copy of the information about "Hero Killer" and asked her to read it carefully so that she could play the role well and go with him to chat with Zeng Mi and break down her psychological defenses.
During the New Year holiday, Zeng Mi has completed nearly half of the hero character portraits.
Zeng Wenjie has examined them one by one, and these character portraits are even more vivid, lifelike, exquisite and beautiful than he imagined.
Especially the portraits of female characters, each of them has big breasts, which is very pleasing to the eye. I can’t help but imagine how cool it would be if it were made into a gal game.
Zeng Wenjie also asked Zeng Mi to create some modern costumes for these characters when he had inspiration, and then directly put them online as skins for players to spend money to buy.
The corresponding basic cards are much easier to draw and have been preliminarily completed.
While chatting with Feng Xiao, Zeng Wenjie received a call from Tony Ma.
"Mr. Ma, Happy New Year! We start work today!" said Zeng Wenjie.
"Mr. Zeng, Happy New Year! The project director sent by our company will arrive in Fengzhou the day after tomorrow. He will call you later. At that time, please send someone to pick him up at the station." Tony said politely.
"Huh? Station? Aren't you taking a plane?" Zeng Wenjie asked.
"Our director is a bit eccentric. He thinks airplanes are unsafe. He will never take a plane unless it is absolutely necessary." Tony Ma couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Zeng Wenjie said, "Mr. Ma, I actually have a lot of ideas here, but the timing is not right yet, so it's hard to say anything yet. After the game is completed and released, if you think the response is good, we can discuss it in detail."
Tony Ma smiled and said, "I have benefited a lot from communicating with Mr. Zeng, such an imaginative young man! I would certainly like to have another face-to-face discussion with him."
The profits brought by the launch of Happy Landlords made Tony Ma laugh to death. He made a lot of money from traditional chess and card games, so one can imagine how much profit Zeng Wenjie's other ideas will bring.
The reason why Zeng Wenjie had never considered doing anything on the Internet before was, on the one hand, because the current Internet industry had not yet developed to the stage he was most familiar with, and on the other hand, because he had a pair of penguins with Sharingan, and no matter what he did, it would be copied by others.
But it’s different now. We have a cooperative relationship with Penguin, and it seems that we can try to promote some ideas?
After chatting with Tony Ma, Zeng Wenjie received another call from the project director sent by Penguin.
The project director's name is Zheng Shouyun. Judging from his voice, he doesn't look very old, probably in his thirties.
After Zeng Wenjie learned the arrival time the day after tomorrow, he prepared to pick him up in person at that time.
"You dog capitalist, work starts today, where are you?!"
Zeng Wenjie answered a phone call, and just by listening to the tone of the voice, he knew who it was.
Except for the talented employees and the social villain, no one dares to talk to the boss in this way.
Zeng Wenjie said, "Something has changed. I'm coming over now. Please wait for me in the store for a while."
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Wenjie said to Feng Xiao, "Think about your words. After work, I will take you to Zeng Mi's teahouse for a drink."
Feng Xiao nodded slightly, glanced at Zeng Wenjie, and said with a smile: "Don't be too anxious, nothing has happened yet."
Zeng Wenjie certainly has a way out, but he can't swallow his humiliation if he retreats like this!
The snack shop that had just started to pick up and Malenia, which was just about to gain a foothold, could not withstand the turmoil, and he did not want to let his hard work go to waste.
Opening snack shops all over the country so that Mu Qingyang can have snacks to eat wherever he goes, this is the promise he made at the beginning!
Yuan Xiuqin sat at her desk, completed a small project, took a short break, and after canceling the "Do Not Disturb" status on QQ, she received a message.
It was a message sent to her by Qin Yixuan, confirming that he would come to Chongshan in the first half of this year.
Yuan Xiuqin replied, "That's great. Let's get together then! Don't wait until you get your diploma, because that's a farewell dinner."
Qin Yixuan replied: "No, the General Administration is preparing to conduct a series of interviews with the village BAs. It shouldn't be too late."
Yuan Xiuqin replied, "I officially started work today at Wenjie's Game Science Studio!"
"Hero Killer?"
"Um."
"Is it fun?"
"It's fun. You'll know when you try it out after it's released!"
After a brief chat, Qin Yixuan had to go and get busy, while Yuan Xiuqin had to continue with her work. The two major campus beauties said goodbye and went about their business.
Director Wang glanced at Yuan Xiuqin and coughed, "Students from the University, please don't chat on QQ for too long. Complete your tasks as soon as possible."
Yuan Xiuqin hurriedly agreed, then smiled bitterly. She hadn't expected that even after starting work, she would still be supervised by a teacher. That was outrageous, wasn't it?! Furthermore, she was a teacher at Fengyuan. Strictly speaking, she should be the department head...
However, precisely because of Director Wang's supervision, the employees in the studio worked extra hard on their keyboards, and many graduates felt like they were back in college.
Seeing Zeng Wenjie rushing over from school, Ye Qiansheng couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why do you have such a bitter and resentful expression these past two days?"
Zeng Wenjie asked, "All?"
Ye Qiansheng said, "My dad. I made a joke to him yesterday and he almost beat me up. In the evening, Ye Yixuan came back for dinner, and both of them looked bitter and resentful."
Since Ye Yixiuan was able to become Zhuang Aimin's secretary, it was obvious that the Ye family and the good senior brother were allies and had placed a high stake on him.
Right now, with this major change that caught everyone off guard, it would be a miracle if Ye Qiansheng's father could be in a good mood!
"We have to choose a new location for the branch. The previous agreement is off." Zeng Wenjie nodded to Ye Qiansheng and said helplessly.
Ye Qiansheng got anxious when he heard this and said, "We've already planned it, but now it's blown off. Isn't this a waste of our time?"
Zeng Wenjie sighed helplessly and said, "There's no way! I'll handle the site selection as soon as possible. Brother Ye, if you have any good shop options, you can recommend them to me."
Ye Qiansheng frowned and nodded, cursing, "Do you not want to expand, or are there idiots hindering us? On the first day of work, we get such terrible news. It's really fucking bad luck!"
Zeng Wenjie just smiled and didn't tell him in detail. With Ye Qiansheng's personality, he was not suitable to understand these things.
When Shi Jing saw Zeng Wenjie coming, he ran out to greet him, saying, "Happy New Year, Boss!"
Zeng Wenjie looked at him with a half-smile. This bastard always called her "bra" in his hometown, but now he knows to call her "boss"!
He took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave one to Ye Qiansheng and Shi Jing, who did not come to work early yesterday.
"Fuck, thank you so much, godfather!" Shi Jing changed his address again and bowed down.
Zeng Wenjie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he understood how his teacher Gao felt. It turned out to be so cool?
Only Ye Qiansheng calmly put the red envelope into his pocket, and was reluctant to even say "thank you".
Zeng Wenjie looked at Ye Qiansheng with resentment. He was not good at flattering his boss and could only talk nonsense. He felt that he had really tied himself up in knots and opened Pandora's box for him.
At noon, Zeng Wenjie packed up his meals at a store outside the school, and bought a lot of snacks from a snack shop, loaded them into a car and sent them back to the entrepreneurship base.
On the first day of work, you have to treat your employees to good food and drinks so that everyone can achieve success together.
Rooms 201 and 202 were also opened up by the school leaders and turned into simple lounges. After dinner, everyone can even lie down in them.
Zeng Wenjie took the time to chat with Zeng Mi at noon and told her about the situation and environment in the studio.
Zeng Mi looked at the text on the chat box, her brows furrowed with worry, and a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.
She felt like she was also a member of the studio, but unfortunately, she could only work outside the studio...
