Chapter 48 Bad reviews are the best voice!
After Lu Ming left,
All employees gathered in the office and fell into deep thought.
"Bowen, do you think our boss is really reflecting on this?"
"They said they were reflecting on the situation, but in the end, they didn't even consider the game's problems. They were just thinking about how to prevent players from attacking the company..."
"The boss really doesn't think there's anything wrong with the game design at all!"
"We are just making suggestions, the boss is the one who makes the final decision!"
"But I have to say, Mr. Lu is truly amazing. He resolved this incident perfectly..."
"...In other words, if we get scolded by players next time, at least we'll be scolded in a five-star office building?"
"From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be a loss?"
“…”
The employees of Jingyue seemed to have gradually accepted Lu Ming's logical thinking.
Although the online criticism of Whale Leap Game is still going on,
However, the employees within Jingyue Company have reached a completely different consensus.
"Actually, don't you think... Mr. Lu is really quite humane?"
"Um?"
"Take this incident, for example. He could have just played dead and refused to respond, but not only did he proactively confront the situation, he also treated the players to meals, arranged accommodations, reimbursed their travel expenses, and even arranged a trip to Shanghai for them!"
"Although I didn't refund the money... would any other gaming company do this?"
"Indeed, how many domestic game companies would treat players to a buffet?"
"I think, in a sense, Mr. Lu is really a very responsible boss!"
"...But the game still can't be modified, right?"
"That's right... So, Mr. Lu is a capitalist with a bottom line?"
"Alas, everyone outside is scolding the boss, but I know that the boss is a good person!"
"When did you switch sides..."
For a moment, the morale of the entire Whale Leap team subtly improved a bit...
Two days later,
Following Lu Ming's instructions, Lin Xiaoxiao frantically collected information about office buildings in various core areas of the Magic City.
Finally, three alternative options that met Lu Ming's requirements were selected, and the sorted information was handed to Lu Ming.
"Mr. Lu, these are several suitable office locations we have selected."
Lu Ming took the information and took a look at it.
[Option 1: Business District·Grade A Office Building]
Area: 500 square meters
Rent: 3.2 million per year
Advantages: Located above the subway, convenient commuting, large commercial area, complete supporting facilities, strict security, double access control + exclusive elevator
Disadvantages: Low floor, average view, many sales companies nearby
[Option 2: Financial Center·Super Grade A Office Building]
Area: 600 square meters
Rent: 4.2 million per year
Advantages:
Located in the heart of Shanghai's CBD, it boasts an excellent location, floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, unobstructed city views, and first-class property management.
Disadvantages: Limited parking spaces, which may make commuting inconvenient for employees; high surrounding costs, which may increase employee lunch expenses.
[Option 3: Magic City Center Building·Super Luxury Office Building]
Area: 700 square meters
Rent: Nearly 5 million per year
Advantages: Located in the heart of Shanghai's commercial district, this luxurious, top-tier office building offers conference rooms, a gym, 24-hour security, independent access control, and dedicated security.
Disadvantages: Too expensive!!! Really expensive!!! Fast food in the surrounding area starts at 40, 50!!!
…
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Ming cautiously from the side.
"Mr. Lu, which one do you want to choose?"
Lu Ming flipped through the information, thought for a moment, and decisively closed the file in his hand.
"Let's go with the third one, the Magic City Center Building!"
Lin Xiaoxiao: “???”
"Mr. Lu...are you sure?"
"Of course!" Lu Ming said firmly.
"This is exactly the kind of style we at Whale Leap want!"
Anyway, once the settlement is made at the end of the month, a small goal will be achieved!
What five million? That’s just a drop in the bucket!
"But... the rent is close to 5 million a year..."
Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and reminded carefully:
"If we only consider security, isn't this... a bit too extravagant?"
"Luxury?" Lu Ming asked, then laughed.
"How can this be called luxury?"
He said in a decisive tone: "This is called corporate image!"
"What kind of company is our Jingyue?"
"Do you make a living by your skills?"
"Uh... no!"
“Do you make a living by being creative?”
“Not really!”
"What do we rely on?"
Lu Ming's eyes were deep, and he tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "Big! It's big!"
"Tencent has so many games that have been criticized, why do we rarely see players blocking the entrance?"
"It's because they built their own building! It's so classy!"
"Players can only curse behind someone's back, not in front of them! This is something we need to learn!"
"You've visited Tencent's headquarters before. We can't build our own building yet, so we'll just rent a better one!"
"Xiaoxiao, you don't understand since you didn't graduate from a gaming major. In the eyes of players, we're not just an ordinary gaming company. We're their natural enemy, the embodiment of capital. Therefore, our company must live up to this identity!"
"Have you ever seen an ultimate boss working in a small office in the suburbs?"
"No?"
"The ultimate boss must live in the core area, in the highest-end office building, with black gold VIP-level security, fingerprint and facial recognition required for entry, and preferably a private elevator!"
"This way, when the players come to us to demand an explanation, they'll have to spend ages just to get through the door. By the time they actually see us, their anger will have already subsided!"
Lin Xiaoxiao: ...This logic seems to be correct?
"But...the rent is really expensive."
"It's okay. I told you before, the company isn't short of money! We'll have to expand sooner or later, so why not do it now?"
"As for your comment about surrounding expenses being too expensive, why don't you just increase everyone's meal allowance? The company is improving, and the employees should be doing the same!"
Lin Xiaoxiao had no place to refute, anyway, for her,
After the company moved, commuting became more convenient anyway.
There are several subway lines going to the city center.
…
Two days later, Jingyue officially signed a contract for a 700-square-meter office space in the Magic City Center Building.
It has luxurious decoration and glass curtain walls, and all the companies that have settled in are top capital players!
Here, Jingyue's status has doubled, and it looks like a top Internet giant.
Although Whale Leap currently has only two representative games,
And it is still in serious losses.
But in Lu Ming's opinion, none of this matters!
A good starting point is a necessary condition for success!
The scolding you get in the suburbs is obviously different from that in the city center!
Moreover, others can be scolded, but not in person! It would be bad if it leads to crimes of passion!
It’s not uncommon for bosses to have garbage and mineral water thrown at them!
More importantly, the security here is really awesome!
A large number of elevators on the entire floor use a floor restriction system, and only card holders can press the floor button.
There is a card gate in the lobby on the first floor of the building. Visitors must make an appointment in advance, otherwise they will not be able to enter at all.
In addition, all the security guards in the building are veterans and are at least 180cm tall!
Lu Ming has personally experienced it and it’s very reliable!
"Not bad, not bad! Now it will be several times more difficult for players to block the door! The most they can do is curse downstairs!"
soon,
On the day of the company's relocation, all employees pushed their suitcases and office supplies.
They all walked into this brand new office building and were shocked.
"Damn, is it so luxurious?"
"Are we...really worthy of living in such a high-end office building?"
"Is the boss crazy?"
"I don't know if it's crazy or not, but I suddenly believe that we are a big company."
"We only have the reputation of a big company, but our substance is far inferior..."
When everyone walked into the office, they found that it was not only decorated in a high-end style, but also had its own rest area, tea bar, and gym.
There is even a dedicated small conference room. It doesn't look like a gaming company at all, but more like a multinational corporation.
What's even more outrageous is that the desks are all the latest electric lift tables.
Everyone is equipped with a top-of-the-line computer, and even the office chairs are ergonomic and high-end custom-made!
Han Meimei couldn't help but sigh,
"I finally understand where the company's money is spent... No wonder there are so many krypton gold points in the game."
Zhou Wenbo immediately refuted,
"There are a lot of krypton gold points, but the cost of the game has not yet been recovered!"
After everyone took their seats and chose their seats, they went to the 33rd floor, the office floor of Jingyue Company.
Lu Ming called all employees together and held a general meeting.
In the conference room, Lu Ming asked someone to write a calligraphy work.
There are a few big words written on it.
“Bad reviews are the best voice!”
When all the employees sat in the conference room and saw the nine big words on the wall, the air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.
The boss is worthy of being the boss, his taste is so unique!
Lu Ming looked around at everyone and nodded with satisfaction:
"How is it? Isn't the environment here nice?"
Everyone was silent for three seconds, then nodded in unison:
"……good."
This is the truth of everyone.
In Shanghai, there is such an office environment!
At least in the first echelon!
"That's good." Lu Ming continued with a smile.
"Next, we have only one goal!"
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Lu Ming to announce some grand vision.
