Chapter 446: ?Game Division

Li Changwei could not understand.
How come I have fallen to this point now.
His family is a family of movies.
His grandfather should be regarded as one of the first group of film projectionists to show movies in the open air.
His dad was affected. After graduating from high school, he did not enter the university. He learned some skills and went to the cinema to become an electrician.
So Li Changwei has been watching movies since he was young.
He also likes watching movies very much. After graduating from university, he naturally entered the film industry.
Wandering in major theaters for a period of time, selling popcorn and ice, guarding the monitoring room to watch men and women in the theater, and finally working as a marketing assistant, filming and operations director.
Later, while working, I met Tian Dazhuang who knew nothing about movies.
At that time, Tian Dazhuang was investigating various places and then looking for some suitable cinema managers.
The two talked very happily-don't worry about how to talk to someone who doesn't like talking.
Tian Dazhuang can see Li Changwei's love for movies.
Regardless of his ability, this kind of love can't be performed. Is Tian Dazhuang sincere to people? Is he instinctively keen on acting?
Thus, Li Changwei became Tian Dazhuang's subordinate.
Li Changwei did not look down on Tian Dazhuang.
No matter what reason Tian Dazhuang took the position of general manager of the theater, he was a good leader.
It's enough to know people and use them well.
I'm most afraid of those who come up with nepotism, who don't understand anything, but want to bite the bullet and dictate.
Don't be surprised, after scientific research, you meet such a leader, the probability of living in a nest of cockroaches in your kitchen sewer is 10,000 times greater.
Tian Dazhuang has never made any comments on the business of the theater.
Fully delegate power.
As long as you do a good job, he will be rewarded with great rewards. Not only does he divide what he deserves, he also points out what he deserves.
Will also actively help you fight for promotion opportunities.
Li Changwei almost became the head of the Meow Tail Cinemas in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
If it is not for the chief rudder to insert a rod horizontally.
That's what Li Changwei didn't understand. He received the chief rudder to inspect the sub-rudder, and he didn't seem to have done anything extraordinary.
Why did you just transfer him away from the Meow Tail Theater?
Cram directly into the strategy department.
And that President Pei is also very unreliable, let him do this and that, before he is familiar with the environment, he just transferred away, saying that he can't do it.
He has done publishing, improving user experience for live broadcast platforms, and organizing events on shopping websites...
Now it has become a dry juicer, by the way to the point of skewers.
If nothing else, it doesn't matter if you squeeze the juice. Why is he not good at skewer?
Moreover, he doesn't need to do it line by line.
Does the company need such versatile talents?
"Manager Li, come to my office."
After receiving a call from Pei Qianlong, Chang Wei sighed, skewered the skewer, greeted the people in the cafeteria, took off his work clothes and washed his hands.
Based on past experience, he is likely to start a new job soon.
I don't know what it is.
"Sit down, has Manager Li been exposed to games?" Pei Qianlong took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows.
"No, I never play games." Maybe it's about letting myself be a game power leveling. I heard that some bosses use their public tools for private use and ask employees to help them open up wasteland.
"I mean, have you been in contact with game development?" Pei Qianlong wondered what Mr. Lin liked about this Manager Li.
Let him hone this buddy well and get rid of his arrogance.
That's why he arranged various jobs for Li Changwei, denying him without giving him a chance to get started.
Finally, even the work of serving tea and pouring water was arranged.
"No!" Li Changwei shook his head decisively.
However, he knew that shaking his head was useless. He would ask every time he arranged a job, but this kind of conversation had no effect on the work arranged by President Pei.
"That's right, the company has new arrangements regarding your work." Pei Qianlong said.
"Oh, what do you want me to do?" Curious, Li Changwei is really curious, should he go to wash the toilet, or go to the company's community to be the aunt of the neighborhood committee.
"The company will set up a game division, which belongs to the first-level department. You will serve as the general manager. Congratulations. When Mr. Lin comes back next time, you can go to the round table meeting." Pei Qianlong looked at Li Changwei with interest. s face.
Every time Li Changwei was assigned a new job, his expression was wonderful.
Li Changwei looked straight ahead, his eyes lost and weak, and he couldn't focus.
He suspects that there is a problem with his hearing.
He also suspects that Pei always deliberately shabu him.
However, the game business department, the first-level department, the general manager, the round table meeting, so many keywords, can't all be auditory hallucinations.
Moreover, this kind of thing is not a casual joke.
"In view of your current work ability, I will follow up for a period of time. This time will not be too long, so you have to make some achievements as soon as possible. In principle, if you do not ask me for help, I will not care. Any job in your game department."
Li Changwei was still in a daze.
No way, if you are a messenger in a cafeteria, and someone asks you to become the president, how would you react?
"Everyone calls us Maochang, and most of our departments also start with the word "Miao". Recently, the publishing department is planning to change its name to "MiaoMi", so you can't use this. I personally suggest that you can choose meow or meow. Pee……"
"Could it be called Miaowo." Li Changwei finally came alive.
"Members of Station M are used to calling Station M a cat's nest, so..." Pei Qianlong shook his head.
Li Changwei tried very hard to think about it a few times, but none of them seemed appropriate. This method has eased the huge impact of this appointment.
"Is it okay to call meow game?"
"This seems to be ok, the name is not important. The important thing is not to live up to Lin's expectations." Pei Qianlong saw that Li Changwei had returned to normal, and then began to say: "I personally don't like this appointment, but Lin always treats you. Trust, so you are very lucky."
"I..." Li Changwei wanted to say, but I actually want to stay at the Meow Tail Cinema.
But the workplace is ruthless, it's not just what you want to do.
"I thought about it later, and I understood a little bit about Lin's meaning. Your advantage lies in your attitude towards users." As conceited as Pei Qianlong, this time it was a long time of contemplation before realizing why Lin had chosen Li Changwei.
Li Changwei values ​​users too much.
This is a user-first person, and the game industry seems to need such a person.
Games are an industry purely serving users.
Unlike Miaozha.com, which is a consumer on one side and a consumer supplier on the other; the same is true for Miaoya live broadcast. Users, anchors, and audits are all integrated together, and they can't blindly cater to the user experience.
And games, especially the early games, can make the user experience well, so as to truly win the living space.
Li Changwei walked out of Mr. Pei's office unconsciously, and then followed the administrative staff to the office arranged for him by the company. ,
Yes, he also has a personal office.
In the Crest headquarters building.
As one of the new high-levels of the roundtable meeting, the temporary workers who were still in the circle half an hour ago suddenly became the owner of this spacious and bright office.
Li Changwei, general manager.
The nameplates were all made and placed on his empty desk.
But, how do you make games?
Li Changwei was confused.
He couldn't understand even after thinking about breaking his head, he could only recruit a few knowledgeable people to assist him according to Mr. Pei's suggestion.
"Brother Fu, what are you doing?"
The first person Li Changwei thinks of is his middle school classmates. The six years of middle school and high school students have a very close relationship.
This person's real name is Yang Baofu.
The name is a bit dirty, but it also carries the full expectations of the parents.
Later, his classmates nicknamed him Laifu, who happened to be with Chang Wei.
After graduating from high school, we went to different things, but we still contacted occasionally.
Yang Baofu's work is barely related to games.
Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not game planning, game design or game development.
He is just the boss of a game leveling studio.
Yang Baofu is a veteran game fan. He has liked playing games since he was a child. He has gotten worse even after he went to college. He took five years to complete his credits at the four-year university. Half of his classmates have never met him.
Because the rate of skipping classes in the university is as high as 95%, even if he is sent out of the school gate, he still has no idea in the talent market.
Naturally, it is impossible to find a job.
In desperation, he set up his own game power leveling studio, whose main business is the power leveling of sword three monsters, barely making ends meet.
Until the development of e-sports in recent years, his studio slowly gained a foothold.
Not only did he solve the food and clothing problem, he even got a team.
In the circle of old classmates, both Laifu and Changwei are successful people.
"I didn't do anything. I just discussed business with the owner of the Internet cafe. The Internet fee is really getting more and more expensive. I can't wait to open an Internet cafe by myself." Yang Baofu sighed over there.
"You are a bit irrational when you open an Internet cafe these days." Even if you don't understand the market, you know that the Internet cafe is dead.
Think about the time when I went to school, there are Internet cafes everywhere near the school, one for five for an hour, one hundred for one hundred for one hundred, full of people, waiting in line to get on the plane.
But time has changed, and in just a few years, the living environment of Internet cafes has undergone tremendous changes.
"In other words, how dare you, you can't stand the toss." Laifu said.
"Brother Fu, are you interested in playing games? I lack people here." Li Changwei bit his scalp and said.
His eyes are really black, even blacker than Tian Dazhuang who took over the Meow Tail Cinema Line.
After all, many of Tian Dazhuang's contacts were people from the film industry.
At least not unfamiliar with movies.
But Li Changwei was different. In his life, apart from people who played games, he had no intersection with games.
He hasn't even played Tetris or Matchmaker.
"Brother Wei, don't you work in a movie theater? How come you are involved in making games." Yang Baofu's biggest regret is that he failed to destroy Li Changwei. Amway had hundreds of games and never succeeded.
"It's hard to say, it's a job transfer. I know someone who understands games, and that's you." Li Changwei seemed to have caught the straw.
"Brother Wei, don't be joking. You can't do this casually. I also have a lot of things on my side. Although I don't make a lot of money, it's at least enough to pay off my mortgage..."
"I'll give you thirty thousand a month and twenty salary. If our brothers can do the game, one million annual salary will not be a problem." Li Changwei actually didn't understand his authority.
However, when he was first recruited by Tian Dazhuang, his salary was at this level.
Before becoming the general manager, his monthly salary had risen to 70,000, and I don't know if this promotion will process the salary.
To be conservative, he promised others only 30,000 yuan.
The general manager of Kleist is still shallow, and the annual income has not been less than 5 million.
A few can even get tens of millions.
"Puff, Brother Wei, are you joking." Yang Baofu still thought it was a joke.
"Brother, who would make a joke about this kind of thing? I really need someone who understands games to help me. Will you come? In a word, don't say I don't take care of you in the future!"
When I went to school together, I said, "Don't forget each other if you are rich."
If neither of them has achieved much, then this is the second disease, but if one of them is really prosperous, this is a promise.
"I'm taking care of your uncle, do it, give me an address, I will buy the ticket now."
The power leveling studio gave it to others directly.
He worked hard and busy, sometimes he had to roll up his sleeves and went to battle in person. He also got 10,000 yuan a month and paid off the mortgage in second-tier cities. Basically, there was not much left. A girlfriend can't afford it either.
Li Changwei met Yang Baofu who had rushed to the capital the next day.
When Pei Qianlong heard that people were recruited here, he fulfilled his responsibility to help and take care of him, and came to greet him.
If Lin Dong hadn't asked him to take care of the game department, he would seldom bother with this kind of entry.
Even if he supervises the game business department, he will only focus on the big and let go of the small. If he controls the general direction, he won't go wrong.
"This is President Pei." Li Changwei gave a brief introduction.
"Hello boss!" Yang Baofu, who was the little boss of the power leveling studio yesterday, quickly stood up.
"I am not the boss, I am the vice president of company strategy," Pei Qianlong leaned forward and shook hands with him, and said, "But you can tell me if you have any questions, the boss doesn't show up too much."
"I just want to ask, is there really 30,000?" Yang Baofu asked very directly.
He didn't learn anything in college, and he didn't mix in the workplace after graduation. The small circle of game leveling basically went straight and bargained for three or five yuan, so don't expect him to have any special performance.
"Mr. Li gave you 30,000 yuan, which is less. After all, you were the first one to recruit. If the positioning is the deputy, 30,000 yuan is too small. As for how much, you can go back to Mr. Chen. Someone discuss it."
Kleist's salary level far exceeds that of its peers.
Li Changwei hired a deputy and gave 30,000 yuan a month, which was too petty.
Mr. Chen is referring to Chen Xiaoman, she is now the company's executive vice president, it is impossible to manage such trivial matters, there will be someone under her hand in charge.
"What do you want me to do?!" Yang Baofu rubbed his fist.
He Nana's, he went out.
Never thought that he could still find a decent job in his life with such a high salary.
Chang Wei shouldn't want to work hard, and then approach the rich woman.
"Have you known about our company?" Pei Qianlong asked.
"I have seen the information on the plane, it is really ridiculous, but the information is a bit less." But Yang Baofu at least knows the music of Miaoer, the live broadcast of Miaoya, and Miaozha.com.
He only learned today that these are all in one family.
The meow game he wants to join is a new department of this cat factory.
"Just understand a little bit, that is to say, we... our company is to do games, starting from scratch, and the three of us are all the staff of the current project. I don't know much about the game industry. The same is true for President Li. What's your idea?"
"You can act as an agent." Yang Baofu blurted out: "For example, ARK: Survival Evolved, a 3A masterpiece released on June 2nd. People here call it Ark Survival and Evolution. If you can get it, you can definitely occupy a place in the domestic game market. "
What mess, Pei Qianlong and Li Changwei are at a loss.
Pei Qianlong shook his head and vetoed: "No, we recently represented an FGO..."
"The Fate series? Not bad, this is a good start, although it may not be as good as the boat."
"Listen to me first!" This guy is too much. Pei Qianlong patted the table and continued: "This game is operated by Station M. It has nothing to do with us. The boss doesn't like agency games, so give it to us. The task is to make China’s own game, that is to say, give up on the road of agency."
"China's own game..." Yang Baofu was a little confused.
"Money is not a problem. The company has prepared a billion for the game project." Pei Qianlong did not have time to say to Li Changwei, the new general manager of the game business department.
"One billion!"
The two soil buns sucked in air-conditioning together, which indirectly caused global warming.
"In this case, we have two choices." Yang Baofu, who had come back to his soul, thought for a while, and gave two solutions: "One is to recruit people to form a team for development and design, and the other is to see if there is a suitable market. Yes, buy it directly."
One billion.
With so much wealth, you can do whatever you want.
What is the concept of one billion in game development?
Take Dad Blizzard’s Warcraft as an example.
"World of Warcraft" is undoubtedly the most popular online game in the world so far. Especially in China, its position in online games has never changed over the years.
This game has been developed since the end of 2000 and took almost 5 years to build. The investment is about 40 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 270 million yuan.
But this is only the research and development expenses before the listing, if you include the expansion of the subsequent Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm...It would seem that Dad Blizzard spent 700 million.
The same production cost is around 700 million and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".
"Tomb Raider 9" cost 800 million.
It is not the most expensive, "Total War: Three Kingdoms" is more than 100 million more expensive than it, reaching 900 million production and development costs.
Compared with "Final Fantasy 7 Core Crisis", these are all drizzle, because Final Fantasy this time made two billion yuan into it.
Well, it is not the most expensive.
The most expensive is "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", which cost six billion.
Going far, back to the topic, since "World of Warcraft" spent 40 million US dollars to develop, even if it was fifteen years ago, the money back then was more valuable.
It also shows that Kleist's billion investment is really not small.
Moreover, the game has just been established, and so many of them went in without even trying the water, which made Yang Baofu feel that he was right.
He is only worried that he cannot afford such a heavy task~EbookFREE.me~Two choices," Pei Qianlong thought for a while and said: "R&D must be done, but it has not been achieved in three or five years. It's hard to explain to President Lin, so my idea is to acquire a game to learn and research, and then develop new games while operating it. What do you think? "
Yang Baofu immediately took a look at Pei Qianlong, the vice president of strategy.
Looking back, his two choices were really too naive.
"That still has to be recruited." Li Changwei was very worried.
It seems that the personnel department must be asked for help.
"Acquisition of a game studio, you basically have everything that should be available, and then you can fill the position." Pei Qianlong once again suspected that Lin Dong had chosen the wrong person, feeling that Yang Baofu is more suitable for the position of general manager of the game business department than Li Changwei.
