Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Wednesday, December 7.

In Moyu Internet Cafe, Pei Qian is sipping coffee while reading the news on the forum.

"Strange, it stands to reason that ioi's qualifying game should start soon. Why can't I see any news on the Internet?"

"There are a few gossips, but there is no real hammer, and it can't make any waves at all."

Pei Qian is a little puzzled, because according to the information from Wang Yang Game, the qualifier of ioi should be started within a week.

Because the pre-season of the GPL league is scheduled to start this weekend, not all clubs will participate in this pre-season, only three weeks.

For the club, the preseason is an opportunity to practice and run-in. For the league, it can adapt to various emergencies in the game in advance. For the audience, there can also be games to watch during this boring time. See the preview of the GPL League in advance.

After playing at the end of this month, there will be a two-week break, and then around mid-January, the GPL spring tournament will officially start.

Currently ioi is facing a huge threat from GOG. It is better overseas, especially in China. It can be said that every move of ioi's national service depends on the face of GOG.

Including the changes in the new version of ioi, they are all learning from GOG.

Under this circumstance, Ioi’s two important games: the qualifiers and the World Finals, must avoid GOG game time as much as possible.

The two sides compete at the same time. Isn't ioi waiting to be robbed?

Therefore, the time set by the finger company should be to finish the domestic qualifiers this weekend and decide three teams to play in the World Championship; at the end of this month, when the GPL preseason is just over, the World Championship will be opened. In the finals, in this way, the heat of GPL can be staggered, and the effect of avoiding its edge can be played.

Pei Qian also agreed with this idea.

But what makes Pei Qian feel a bit pity is that the domestic qualifying competition of ioi still collided with the GPL preseason: it was all started this weekend.

"It seems that Zhitou has tried very hard to avoid GPL events, but there is no way. The time is really not enough."

"From the beginning of the ioi qualifiers to the official start, the time is very tight. The premise is impossible. If it is delayed, there will be GPL matches for the next 20 days, and it is meaningless to delay."

"So I can only crash, which is a bit embarrassing."

"But the crash is a crash. The popularity of the ioi qualification is so low, it's a bit unreasonable? The official doesn't seem to have much publicity?"

"There is no sound at all, this is not giving the heat to the GPL?"

"These people are too unprofessional, and they have to find a way to help them and stir up enthusiasm."

"Um... how can I help?"

Pei Qian saw that the enthusiasm of the ioi qualification was so low that no one was discussing it at all, and couldn't help but worry about them.

If ioi's competition is not hot, how can it threaten GOG?

If GOG's popularity continues to remain as high as it is now, how can you lose money?

Therefore, Pei Qian decided to extend a helping hand to help the finger company.At least let the enthusiasm of the ioi qualifiers stir up a little more attention, right?

This is nothing more than spending some marketing expenses, and it doesn't cost much.

Zhitou and Longyu Group are both big companies that don't need money. Why are they so stingy in this matter?This makes Pei Qian quite incomprehensible.

But then I thought about it again. Maybe it was because the preparations for the qualifying rounds were too rushed, so I haven't found time to stir up the heat yet?

Well, this possibility also exists.

Then it should be more of a pull.

It's just that Pei Qian didn't think too much about how to help.

It is definitely impossible to pay for it out of his own pocket. With the three melons and jujubes in his pocket, Pei Qian will at most buy some water soldiers on the Internet and blow them out. The effect is minimal.

Besides, the fundamental purpose of doing these things is to lose money and transform more personal property. As a result, before losing money, take personal property and paste it inside. Isn't this a brain drain?

Therefore, we still have to find a way to get the system to reimburse.

The problem is that ioi's qualifying competition is not a competition held by Tenda. How can the system be reimbursed?It seems a bit unreasonable.

Pei Qian touched his chin, thinking hard for a long time, suddenly a flash of light in his mind.

"Yes, didn't I just invested in an ioi club! I can do something on this!"

On Monday, Pei Qian just ran to the magic city. Lightspeed invested in the FV club. Only two days have passed.

Spend the company's money to promote the ioi qualifiers, that makes no sense, and the system will not approve it.But if it is to spend money to promote the FV club, by the way, to promote the ioi qualifier, isn't it enough?

Promote your own club and you can spend money hard. The system is very tolerant in this regard!

Although Pei Qian was determined not to interfere with the operation of the FV club, but to give it some money to advertise, this should not be regarded as interference in operation?

Of course, there is a hidden danger in doing this, that is, what if the FV club becomes famous, its attention is greatly increased, and there is a hidden profit risk.

But Pei Qian thought for a while, this possibility is really too low, very small.

What is the status of FV club now?

There was some money, but not much. Pei Qian only gave 3 million. This little money is not worth mentioning compared with the investment of those rich clubs; let alone people, there are only three players left, and the strength is still Not bad.

How about such a club desperately promoting it?

After all, e-sports is the result of performance. No matter how good the performance is, the audience will only feel sick and uncomfortable. On the contrary, it will accelerate the ruin of passers-by.

Besides, the chances of the FV club rushing out of the qualifying round are very slim. Now there is a wave of crazy publicity, and the heat cannot be kept at all.

In short, the enthusiasm brought by the propaganda of burning money will be concentrated on the ioi qualifying competition, which will not have much impact on the FV club itself, and Pei Qian has just spent a lot of money.

Perfect, perfect!

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more suitable he immediately called the FV club owner Wu Yue.

"Hello, President Pei?" The phone rang a few times before being picked up, Wu Yue's voice was a bit sleepy, as if he had just woke up.

Pei Qian looked at his watch. It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning now, still sleeping?Was it later than I got up?

Yes, Mr. Pei appreciates such people.

Pei Qian asked: "Does the club have enough money?"

Wu Yue on the other end of the phone was obviously taken aback.

Didn’t Mr. Pei just invest 3 million the day before yesterday?Why did you raise money again today?

Could it be that... Mr. Pei knew that I was going to buy players and worried that my money was not enough, so he wanted to add more money to me?

Wu Yue couldn't help but feel warm and moved, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, there is still enough money. You don't have to worry about this."

Pei Qian was very dissatisfied with this answer.

Will there be enough money?This Wu Yue is not honest enough at first glance.

Pei Qian coughed slightly: "Enough is definitely not possible. If you think that the money is enough, then it must be that the work somewhere is not done well!"

"In this way, I will give you another three million."

"However, the three million yuan is earmarked for marketing expenses. Use this money to promote online, and use various channels to promote the FV club and the upcoming ioi qualifier."

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "President Pei, three million marketing expenses are too much! I am afraid that the effect will not be very good, it is a waste..."

"Otherwise, spend half a million or a million for marketing, and spend the other money elsewhere..."

Hearing the words "waste", Pei Qian's eyes lit up.

Waste is good!

It is really wasteful to use it elsewhere.

Pei Qian said immediately: "No, all three million must be used for marketing and promotion expenses, and all must be spent before this weekend, not a penny can be kept!"

"Don't ask why, just the flowers."

Although Pei Qian said that he would not interfere in the daily operations of the FV club, this kind of hard money is not interfering in operations, and Wu Yue has no reason to refuse.

Wu Yue, who was on the other end of the phone, was silent for a long time before he reluctantly said: "Well, Mr. Pei, since you have already thought about it, I will use all the three million for marketing."

Pei Qian nodded: "Well, spend it with ease, spend it hard. By the way, you must remember to promote the ioi qualifier."

Pei Qian was afraid that Wu Yue would have forgotten. If one advertised that the FV club did not advertise the ioi qualifiers, then it would be a bit of turning the cart before the horse.

After all, Pei Qian's fundamental purpose is to let more people know about the ioi qualifying competition and to create enthusiasm for ioi.

Wu Yue: "Alright President Pei, I understand!"

...

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yue turned over from the bed and sat up.

He took a few team members back from Jingzhou late at night last night, and settled in for the team members, almost tossing all night, and just fell asleep just after six in the morning.

Unexpectedly, when I slept until noon, I was woken up by President Pei's phone call, and it was another three million yuan.

Wu Yue was completely drowsy in an instant, got up and washed his face, immediately called Manager Lu and explained in detail about the additional three million marketing expenses.

Manager Lu just woke up there, just as stunned as Wu Yue.

"President Pei gave another three million? And also specifically explained that this is marketing expenses? It can only be spent on marketing?" Manager Lu also felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.

Why is President Bae so good to FV club?

Excluding the option that Mr. Pei is actually Mr. Wu's long-lost father, it's actually a bit unreasonable.

Wu Yue said: "I have made a rough inference based on Mr. Pei's tone and recent events. Do you have this possibility?"

"The first sentence of Mr. Pei came up and asked me if the money was enough, it must be because he knew we were buying players."

"In this case, the money that President Pei gave is definitely hope that we will spend it elsewhere."

"Our team's current hard power is already very good in ioi's e-sports circle. The specific result depends on the team's running-in state, but it is absolutely no problem to break the wrist with those strong teams. of."

"Since we already have a certain level of strength, what our club currently lacks most is obviously popularity and popularity!"

"And Mr. Pei deliberately gave a certain amount of marketing funds, in fact, to remind us that we can almost stir up the heat, now is the right time."

Manager Lu was stunned for a moment: "But Mr. Wu, the ioi qualifier has not yet played, and we are not sure that we will qualify. Now that the enthusiasm is heated up, if the enthusiasm rises, but the game is not won, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Other clubs?"

Wu Yue shook his head: "There is this kind of risk, but this kind of risk must be taken."

"If we are determined to qualify and then promote, then what is the use? The game is almost over and the heat has passed!"

"We have to promote and warm up in advance before the game, so as to arouse the attention of netizens to the game and our club. In this way, we can only gain more popularity after our players have achieved results."

"As for the possibility of doing wedding dresses for others... I can only say that this kind of risk must be taken."

"President Pei should also be very aware of this, so he has repeatedly urged that all the money must be spent within a week. Isn't this just a reminder that we must stir up the heat before the game starts?"

Manager Lu suddenly said, "That's right."

"Then I will prepare and start to build momentum for the FV club and ioi qualifiers!"

...

After calling Wu Yue, Pei Qian temporarily put aside the e-sports issue and didn't worry about it.

Although it has spent three million to help ioi publicity, Pei Qian did not have much expectations for the ioi qualifying tournament. It is the best to generate heat and help ioi counterattack, but it does not matter if it cannot generate heat.

The worst-case scenario is nothing more than the ioi qualifying round is still not hot, but at least for Pei Qian, three million has been spent.

Pei Qian started to think about things in the imperial capital again.

At present, the emperor has two projects that Pei Qian is more concerned about. The first is the independent game incubation base that Qiu Hong is in charge of, and the second is the cold noodle girl of Meng Chang.

The independent game incubation base has been officially in operation for half a month so far, and Pei Qian has never been there once, and his eyes on the situation over there are black.

I don't know why, but I feel a little unsure.

What if some explosions appear in these indie games?What if the revenue of two or three games completely covers the losses of other games and the overhead of the incubation base, and even generates profits?

Pei Qian knows a lot about his character. This possibility is not without it, and it is also very big.

Therefore, there are some inexplicable concerns.

But Pei Qian couldn't go and watch it in person, because neither the poor road plan nor this incubation base had anything to do with Tenda. If Pei Qian went by himself, wouldn't he take the initiative to expose it?

Once the "Poor Road Plan" is linked to Tenda Group, and various capable, ambitious, and ambitious independent game producers have come to join in, the possibility of this plan losing money will be greatly reduced.

Another project is the cold noodle girl.

Pei Qian has also invested a lot of money in this project. It is impossible to say that he is not worried at all.

For projects like this, it's okay if you lose it. If you make a profit, it will be a big profit and blood. Pei Qian has not seen it on the spot, and feels a little unsure in his heart.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Pei Qian decided to send someone to watch it for himself.

Go to the imperial capital, first look at the game incubation base planned by the poor road, and then look at the cold-faced girl's store, collect some information, and return to report to yourself.

Not necessarily useful, but at least you can make yourself feel more at ease.

But the question is, who should be sent?

The most important thing for this person is to seek truth from facts, not to be too subjective in the judgment, and it is best not to be the person in charge of each department.

It's nothing to delay the department's work, but if there is a linkage between the two projects after reading it, it will be bad.

So after thinking about it, Pei Qian quickly determined the best candidate.

Let Xiao Tang go!

So far, Tang Yishu hasn't had any other work besides taking care of the payees to hold meetings and feeding the cats. He doesn't worry about any linkage effects when he goes to the imperial capital.

Moreover, Tang Yishu's presence within the Tenda Group is very modest. Even if he shows up at the independent game incubation base, no one will guess the relationship between the incubation base and Tenda.

In addition, Tang Yishu is observing as a third party. She does not have relevant professional knowledge. She should be able to put aside some subjective factors as much as possible and see the real situation of the independent game incubation base and the cold girl.

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt it was right, and he called Tang Yishu.

"Hello? Senior." Tang Yishu on the other end of the phone lowered his voice, "I'm in the study room, wait a moment for me to go outside."

After a while, Tang Yishu's voice returned to its normal tone: "Senior, I'm out, what's the matter?"

Pei Qian said straightforwardly: "I want you to visit the Imperial Capital two days from next tomorrow and do something for me. Our company currently has some business in the Imperial Capital. You can take a look at it, inspect it, and ask me when you come back. Just report it."

Tang Yishu's tone was filled with surprise and surprise: "Huh? I'm not good at studying or senior, right? I'm a little scared to travel far..."

Pei Qian had expected: "It's okay. This time I will let the company's best-skilled Sun drive to pick him up, and I will find another driver to accompany him. Before leaving, I will check the car from start to finish to make sure there is absolutely nothing wrong along the way."

"When there is Qiu Hong reception over there, you don't have to worry about anything, just inspect for me, and then truthfully report the problems you see."

Pei Qian knew very well that Tang Yishu's luck was rather evil, but her bad luck basically appeared in small things, such as accidentally tripping when going out, the appearance of hidden bugs in the program, and so on.

Tang Yishu has never encountered such a major danger that threatens her life and health. She is not a native of Jingzhou. She has traveled all the way to study and has never heard of train derailments and other accidents, so don't worry too much about this..

Let Xiao Sun drive the pick-up, as long as he is careful, there will be no problem.

Tang Yishu was still a little reluctant: "But senior, it's almost the exam week, I have to review..."

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "It's okay, there are only two days. With your grades, the impact of not reviewing for two days is minimal, and it will not delay you from getting a national scholarship."

Every time he talks about this, Pei Qian is particularly envious of these super schoolmasters.

Why does Tang Yishu score high in the exam every time, and have to struggle to pass the exam when he gets to him?

This world is really unfair!

Tang Yishu hesitated for a while, and finally agreed: "Then I'll take a trip, but I don't understand anything, and I might not see any problems..."

Pei Qian smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just that you can see some details if you don't understand anything. You don't have to deliberately research or care about what others say, just observe from the first impression, and then Just tell me what you observe."

"By the way, at the incubation base, pay attention to whether there is any overtime. Overtime is absolutely not allowed."

"If they don't work overtime, just look at their work status. If they work well, they are forced to play games, and they must play ten hours a week!"

Pei Qian is also learning smart now. He found that just restricting working hours can no longer control these people. In many departments, although working hours are short, the work efficiency is very high, and the progress has not fallen at all!

Therefore, in addition to working hours, you must also pay attention to the working status of these independent game producers in the incubator base. If the status goes out of order, you must take some measures.

Tang Yishu: "Okay, senior."

...

...

Thursday, December 8.

At the headquarters of Longyu Group, Zhao Xuming, head of ioi operation and cooperation department, Chretien, head of ioi national service, and related staff are having a meeting.

Chretien introduced the work trends at the head of the company to everyone.

"At present, the headquarters is fully preparing for the ioi world finals. This time the finals will be held in Los Angeles. The venue is still being prepared and should be completed by the end of this month."

"Qualifying tournaments around the world should be launched soon to determine the places for the World Tournament. The tournament time for the World Tournament is tentatively scheduled for the 24th of this month, Saturday, which is Christmas Eve, which will officially start on January 15. End."

"This competition basically does not overlap with the GPL competition. This is also my suggestion to the headquarters."

"Although in any respect, our global finals will not be less popular than the GPL League, but considering the special circumstances of the national server, we really don't have to go head-to-head. Staggering the time can ensure the maximum popularity of the finals. "

"In addition, the in-depth innovation of ioi gameplay is still in progress. The next goal of the headquarters is to further absorb the advantages of GOG gameplay. I stand against the crowd and require the revised version to be used in the finals. Players from all over the world, especially Huaxia players, showed our determination."

"Mr. Zhao, what's the situation in Longyu Group?"

Zhao Xuming took the stubborn words: "Everything is going well in Longyu Group, and the progress is perfect!"

"Some time ago, due to the low price zone and game changes, domestic players did accumulate a lot of grievances, but our drag strategy has begun to bear fruit."

"The directional compensation for the old players temporarily calmed their anger. As for the new version, although there are certain changes in the gameplay, many old players have become less resistant after adapting to it for a while."

"I believe that as time goes by, they will slowly accept it."

"Of course, the current situation should not be blindly optimistic. There are still some old players who are less active. But this is not a big problem. As long as the global finals are completed and the popularity of ioi is high, these old players will definitely come back. ."

"As for the domestic clubs, it is also foolproof. Our Longyu Group cooperated with three established clubs and coordinated to help them strengthen the team."

"These three established clubs are all well-known clubs in China. They are currently the strongest. There is no problem in qualifying. Other clubs have also received good transfer fees by buying players. When the time comes, they will participate in the qualifying matches and run with them. Can play a certain role as a foil."

"This can be regarded as a win-win situation for the small club, the big club, and our host."

"In short, I am ready for the ioi World Finals!"

Chretien nodded: "Well. Of the three clubs you mentioned, is there one called FV club?"

Zhao Xuming was taken aback for a moment: "Huh? Nothing."

"The FV club is a small club. It has no reputation. Even if it participates in the qualifying competitions, it is only to accompany the runners. Their strength is far behind."

Chretien couldn't help but frown, slightly surprised.

Obviously, there has been a certain deviation in information cognition between the two parties.

"Then why does this FV club seem to be out-of-pocket for the promotion of the qualifying match? I thought it was the instruction of your Longyu Group." Chretien said.

Zhao Xuming was confused: "When did it happen? Why don't I know?"

Chretien was a little unhappy: "Since yesterday, Mr. Zhao's recent news does not seem to be very well informed."

Zhao Xuming hurriedly explained: "I have been busy for these two days, and I didn't pay much attention to it."

He turned his head and looked at the next subordinate: "Do you know this?"

The subordinate nodded: "I know, in fact, these propaganda only appeared yesterday afternoon and evening. I have sorted out the relevant content. I originally wanted to report to you after the meeting today."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the subordinate hurriedly took the initiative to put the pot on his back.

Zhao Xuming said with a cold face: "Bring it right away!"

The subordinate hurriedly got up and left. After a while, he returned with a sorted document and handed it to Zhao Xuming.

Zhao Xuming reached out to take it, and quickly browsed through it.

Judging from the report, FV Club has promoted in many places, including some live broadcast platforms, video websites, forums, etc. In addition to buying hot searches and buying advertisements, there seems to be more or less water under these topics. Signs of military activity.

It has indeed greatly increased the heat, but all these marketing activities are limited to the domestic qualifying competitions of the FV club and ioi.

Moreover, because the FV club itself has no reputation and must use the ioi World Finals for marketing, the FV club is not the most important part of these promotions.

No wonder Chretien thought that these marketing activities were done by the FV club instructed by Longyu Group.

Zhao Xuming is simply at a loss, what's the situation?

The emperor is not in a hurry?

Longyu Group did not deliberately promote ioi's domestic qualification competition, mainly because there is no need to waste money on this.

There are only a few teams participating in the domestic qualifiers. Except for the three established clubs such as SUG, the other participating teams are accompanied by the running, which has been determined from the time the team is selected.

Moreover, the domestic attention of this qualifying match will not be very high, and the number of spectators will not be large. Longyu Group did not plan to spend more money on the venue, but just found a studio to make do with it, thinking about going. The cutscene is over.

In this case, why spend too much money on marketing?

When the time comes, the enthusiasm will be heated up. When the audience comes in to see, this is the stage?This is the level of the game?It is far from GPL!

Spending money does not necessarily have good results.

So Zhao Xuming did not forget to publicize, but deliberately did not want to publicize it with much fanfare.Just take a cutscene and send the three veteran teams to the World Tournament, and wait for the World Tournament to promote and generate popularity.

Money has to be spent on the blade.

As a result, I didn’t expect that the FV club paid out of its own pocket to promote it!

Zhao Xuming felt very puzzled, wondering if this qualification has nothing to do with them?

If SUG clubs spend money to promote it, after all, they can get real heat and traffic, but the FV club is just an escort. Isn't it a waste of money to promote this?

Seeing Zhao Xuming's blank face, Chretien was a little upset.

He knocked on the table lightly and said: "Mr. Zhao, the FV club's affairs are not very influential."

"Our own propaganda efforts are not enough. Many players get the information from the FV club. On the contrary, there is no news from the official side. This seems to be very unprofessional!"

"I originally thought that the FV club's publicity was instructed by you, and I thought you were a little unprofessional in this matter. But I didn't expect that you didn't even know about it? This is even more unprofessional!"

"Out of trust in Longyu Group, we have never asked about the domestic qualifiers, but the current situation seems to have failed our trust?"

The corners of Zhao Xuming's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart was speechless.

This is bad luck!

According to the original plan, the domestic qualifiers can be played casually, and the scene can go well. The team is determined by default, and no one sees it. Why should there be such a big battle?

It's not too late to save the money for the World Championships.

As a result, the FV club is now doing this, making it difficult for the official to ride a tiger.Players have a look, the official ioi promotion is not as good as a club?I would definitely feel that Zhitou and Longyu Group are particularly unprofessional.

To make a simple analogy, Longyu Group is like a department leader, who originally took all the doors to fish together, but others can't see it. At most, it just feels that the department is not very effective.

As a result, someone in the department suddenly worked hard and worked overtime every day. All the other people in the department were exposed and turned into a group of wastes waiting to die.

Especially the department heads are definitely the most scolded.

Zhao Xuming hurriedly said: "Don't worry, there is still time to remedy it!"

"The game only starts on Saturday, and there are still two days left. We will invest some resources to promote the ioi qualifier, so that players will feel that the FV club just got inside information in advance and promoted it earlier than the official. I think we are unprofessional."

"Moreover, with the FV club's momentum, we should be able to achieve relatively good results if we conduct publicity at this time."

Chretien nodded and expressed satisfaction: "The best remedy is, I believe in your professional ability."

Zhao Xuming has a smile on the surface, and the clouds are calm, but in fact he curses inwardly.

Isn't this FV okay?Harm others and disadvantage yourself!

Now Longyu Group has to spend a lot of money to invest in this qualifying competition.

Not only the advertising and marketing expenses, but also the venues of the competition have to hurry up and make it more fancy, right?

The attention is on the rise, and there will definitely be more players who are picking faults. If the venue is not good enough, it will definitely reduce the level of the game, which is more shameful.

Of course, the game will start in two days. The time is too tight. It is definitely too late to change the venue. You can only purchase more decorations and improve the venue effect as much as possible.

Zhao Xuming still can't figure out why the FV club has nothing to do and spends money to promote himself, but he has no time to study it.

After all, time is tight, and the race is about to start in two days. Zhao Xuming has to devote all his energy to preparing for the qualifying competition.

...

At the same time, the imperial capital.

Tang Yishu got out of the car and carefully set foot on the land of the imperial capital.

This was the first time she had come. Although she was frightened along the way, there were no accidents miraculously.

But this didn't make Tang Yishu feel at ease, she felt even more dangerous.

It may be that the previous security measures were too in place, and the bad luck did not find a chance to take advantage of it, and it all accumulated.I don't know what breakthrough is found, it will burst out suddenly.

Xiao Sun drove the car directly to the hotel parking lot. Qiu Hong had already booked the room for him and waited in the lobby in advance.

According to the itinerary, eat something and take a break at noon, go to the independent game incubation base in the afternoon, go up to see the cold noodle girl the next day, and return to Jingzhou in the afternoon.

Qiu Hong looked at the mechanical watch in his hand and estimated that the time should be almost up.

After waiting for two minutes, he looked up and saw Tang Yishu coming to the front entrance of the hotel.

The two drivers left and right like bodyguards, carefully protecting her safety, but the automatic revolving door at the hotel's entrance still suddenly stopped for some unknown reason, and the three of them froze in place.

Qiu Hong hurriedly stepped forward and opened the side door beside him: "Xiao Tang, right? Come here!"

Tang Yishu and the two drivers had to go through the side door, but as soon as they entered the lobby, the revolving door at the hotel's entrance returned to normal.

Qiu Hong didn't care, thinking it was just an accidental episode, and shook hands with Tang Yishu.

"It's been a lot of hard work all the way. The three boats and vehicles must be tired. The itinerary is like this: we first go to the neighborhood for a simple meal, and then the three return to the hotel to rest at noon. At two o'clock in the afternoon, we will gather in the lobby. I will take everyone to the incubator base to have a look."

"The time now is...Huh?"

Qiu Hong subconsciously raised his wrist to see the current time, only to find that the mechanical watch that was good just now was gone.

He was a little at a loss. This watch has been worn for several years without any major problems, and it has just been wound some time ago.

Why did you walk well and suddenly stopped?

Tang Yishu looked up at the sky with some embarrassment, as if nothing had happened.

...

At noon, independent game incubation base.

Wu Zhicheng is having dinner with a few new independent game producers in the lounge area.

"Look, I said that the scrambled tomatoes and eggs for Moyu takeaway are particularly delicious, right? Isn't it the same as cooked in restaurants outside? Moyu takeaway dishes are absolutely healthy."

"...Hmm? The work plan? Don't worry, it is not a deadline that must be completed. It can be adjusted. If you think there is any new content to be added, you can always find Xi Hao."

"...Don't be afraid of him. Don't think of Xi Hao as your boss or manager. He is just the boss of the service department. He will not intervene in project matters. He will only plan the work plan based on your ideas. How to do the project is up to you."

"Come on, eat more food."

Wu Zhicheng, just like the old predecessors, showed meticulous care for the new independent game producers, although he has just been here for less than a month.

Originally, Wu Zhicheng thought he would be very uncomfortable with this kind of collective work, but after he came, he realized that it was not the case at all!

After coming here, the development progress of "Ink and Cloud" can be described by leaps and bounds.

Wu Zhicheng also thought deeply about the difference.

Looking back now, he thought that he was very efficient at playing games at home, which was completely an illusion.

Because working at home is often distracted by trivial things, such as how to deal with the art resources of a certain part of the game, and when a certain level is done halfway, it is suddenly discovered that the overall framework is unclear and must be overturned.

Similar situations are often encountered because Wu Zhicheng's planning of the entire project is not detailed and comprehensive enough, and these trivial matters will indeed distract energy.

But after coming to this incubation base, other people help and take responsibility for all these small things. Wu Zhicheng himself only needs to think about creativity and design, and his efficiency has naturally improved a lot.

Many independent game producers can't make it through because of this problem.

There are specializations in the art industry. Even in the planning, designing gameplay, adjusting values, raising art needs, planning and developing progress, etc., the nature is completely different, and it is difficult for anyone to fully master.

Once a certain part is not good at it, a lot of energy will be involved in order to make up for this short board.

But now with the help of the incubation base, independent game producers like Wu Zhicheng only need to be responsible for creativity and game design. Professionals will help with other tasks. Under such a detailed division of labor, the efficiency is naturally great. Promoted.

Originally, Wu Zhicheng had a little social fear and was a little worried about whether he would encounter those workplace problems, but after getting along for this period of time, he discovered that he was completely worried about him!

As the person in charge of the administrative department, Xi Hao is very clear about the positioning of his department: this is just a service department.

Therefore, there is no question of who manages who, and naturally there are no twists and turns in the workplace.

On the contrary, these independent game producers have been screened by Qiu Hong. They have high or low abilities, but their personalities are relatively simple, so there are not so many intrigues, and they are naturally closer.

Wu Zhicheng realized that in fact, there are very few people in this world who are truly completely autistic and do not want to communicate with others. Many people appear to be autistic and socially afraid, just because they are in a circle that is not suitable for them. .

Now Wu Zhicheng is in a circle that suits him very well, so he is happy every day and has a lot of cheerful personality.

Everyone was eating lunch talking and laughing, and Xi Hao came from outside.

"In the afternoon, Mr. Qiu may have to take someone over for a look. It's an inspection. Let me tell everyone in advance." Xi Hao said.

Wu Zhicheng was taken aback for a moment: "Is there anything I need to prepare in advance?"

Although Wu Zhicheng has little formal work experience in the company, he has seen such things as leaders inspect.It is generally necessary to prepare in advance to leave a good impression on the leader.

To be honest, Wu Zhicheng has always been curious about who the boss behind the incubation base is, but he has never gotten an exact answer.

On the surface, Qiu Hong is in charge of everything, but there are rumors that Qiu Hong is not the real boss, and there is someone else behind the whole poor plan.

I wonder if the person who came to inspect this time is the real boss?

Xi Hao shook his head: "There is no need to prepare anything in advance, we can show the truest side."

"We strictly follow Mr. Qiu's requirements and the eight-hour work system. Although the working hours are not very long, everyone is very serious and full of work. In fact, it is higher than the working status of many companies 996."

"I think it should be enough for everyone to show such a serious and responsible work status as usual."
