Metropolis: My Rising Life

Shanghai in November was already a bit damp and cold.

Chen Yi recently ran to the company whenever he had time.

After a month of hard work, the production of the game has basically produced a semi-finished product.

The well-known painters on the Internet that were invited in the early days had all their works reviewed after a month.

Those who were not qualified also hit back and asked for revision.

If you want to make a game in a short time, you need a lot of money and manpower. This is why the company outsources a lot of work.

If it were all done by the company itself, this amount of manpower would not be enough.

But Chen Yi also knows the truth that it is too late. If too many employees are hired at this time, after the game is completed, those people will actually be useless.

Chen Yi did not intend to go to the end on the road of the game.

With Goose Factory Pearl and Jade in front, any company who wants to make games can only be regarded as a small mess.

You can make some money with one or two models, but if you want to be the first on this track, the difficulty is really not that high.

Just looking at the current situation of the game mountain of Goose Factory, no company has been able to compete with it for a long time, let alone surpass it.

So when "Tomorrow's Ark" is launched, it would be best if you can bring yourself a lot of water.

Even if it doesn't work, it should be more than enough to complete system tasks.

In addition to having a team to continue to operate the game, as long as a small number of people are recruited, new games can be developed.

There is no need to worry about the new game, it can be refined, Chen Yi is not ready to make money from this game company, as long as it does not lose money.

As long as there is no class, Chen Yi, the boss, runs to the company two or three days, and he is also busy at the company on weekends.

He has forgotten all about women for a while, and now his life has almost changed back to being a social animal, and he doesn't feel like a godless man at all.

But there is no way. The fact that the system sends money without a real business is really imaginary.

Chen Yi is now at the start. Even if he doesn't want to, he has to persevere. Getting started is always the hardest.

Anyway, as long as he persists for another month, he will win. After that, he will have a long time to wave.

"This plan doesn't work. Take it back and revise it. It must be revised before tonight. Then send it to my email."

"What kind of stuff is this painting? I hit it back and rebuilt it. After paying so much money, I made this kind of thing for me to fool people. What is this?"

"What? He said he's at this level? Then replace him and don't give him a penny. Who are you looking for? Why is it so rubbish and waste time."

"We are Party A and they are Party B. Of course, we have to follow our requirements. It's not bad that I didn't let him paint colorful black."

"..."

Chen Yi used to hate meetings when he was at work. He took up his work time and didn't talk about it. It was annoying to listen to the leader being there all the time.

But after he became a leader and became the boss, he found that some things would not work without meeting.

Therefore, it is always necessary to call the department leaders of those companies to meet and discuss together.

And this feeling of holding power in one's own hands and saying what you say is really cool.

No wonder so many people have been pursuing power throughout the ages, and the pleasure of mastering the fate of others makes people unable to stop at all.(Read more @ mtlarchive.com)

Fortunately, outsourcing work, as long as strict requirements and audits, plus money is enough.

Even those well-known painters can get the finished product for you even if they are violent.

The original paintings of these finished products are still slightly different from the games in Chen Yi's memory, and there are even some big differences.

After all, Chen Yi can't remember who painted the original paintings, so it is naturally impossible to find someone else.

However, for this kind of two-dimensional mobile game, as long as the original painting is beautiful and gorgeous enough, the rest can be solved by human design.

And Chen Yi remembers this kind of thing quite clearly, even if he can't remember, there are professionals to help him supplement it.

In addition to these, the most troublesome thing is the game data and levels. The most difficult part of this kind of tower defense game is here, and many people are in a hurry to scratch their heads.

Those programmers and planners almost all lived in the company this month, so Chen Yi had to set up a tent for them.

When Chen Yi saw their dark eye circles for the first time, he was shocked and quickly gave them a day off.

It is not that his boss is kind, but he is afraid that if someone suddenly dies here, his company will become famous because of this, which is not what Chen Yi wants.

This kind of overtime was naturally complaining at first.

But Chen Yi is really generous, as long as you work overtime that double salary is a leverage.

And it will never post money to you like other companies, just don't send you money.

The basic salary itself is high, plus overtime pay. When the salary is single out in October, these employees find that their salary is twice as high as that of their peers.

This immediately stopped complaining, and wished to work overtime to death.

Of course, the prerequisite for overtime pay is that they must complete their tasks.

The game company is not only Chen Yi's company working overtime, it's just that his company works more overtime.

Most of the employees can't leave after the working hours of other companies on working days are up. This is another kind of overtime work, and there is no overtime pay.

Since everyone is working overtime, of course, whichever pays overtime is a good company. You have to shout Ollie for the money and prepare to fight for it.

Because these people also know that as soon as the game goes online, this bitter day of working overtime will come to an end.

As soon as the game's semi-finished products came out, the leaders of the department looked at it, and they felt that the game seemed to be popular.

These people are poached by Chen Yi and Ding Junfeng, and they are all professionals in the industry.

Since they think this game can be popular, the motivation to work immediately is even stronger.

Because Chen Yi gave them equity incentives, the more money they make in this game, the more dividends they naturally pay out.

Immediately, the eyes of those professionals in the company looking at Chen Yi changed.

The boss is generous enough, in addition to asking for the online game as soon as possible, in other aspects will also fully listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

And although he is young, he is stable enough to be convincing.

As the game's semi-finished product was ready, everyone found that the boss did not seem to be whimsical.

I don't know how the final result of this game is, but at least it seems that I won't lose money.

Although the boss is still a layman and does not understand many things in the game industry, this will not affect the respect of his employees.

The production of the game is in full swing, and with the arrival of November, Chen Yi has received another 20 million funds from the system.

Excluding his expenses in October, there are still more than 50 million in cash.

The company's operating costs, as well as various business expenses for outsourcing, have cost him almost 10 million.

According to the calculation of financial cost, Chen Yi will probably spend about 6 million yuan, and this game can almost be completed.

The 16 million game development cost is already very high for a krypton gold card drawing two-dimensional game.

You know, the production cost of the Onmyoji developed by the pig factory is not so high.

Chen Yi knew that this was because he asked for time.

If you let the game develop slowly, and take a year and a half, the cost may be less than one-third, and this is the progress he has made with money.

Chen Yi did the calculations and left 10 million to continue making games. The extra 4 million was used for underpinning, and the subsequent marketing expenses were the real big head.

More than 30 million dollars seems to be a lot, but if you go to overwhelming advertising, it can really be spent in an instant.

Although the game hasn't finished yet, Chen Yi has already put out a few million to warm up.

When the game is almost finished online, all the money will be thrown out and a big advertisement will be made.

The main body of natural advertising is station B and Weibo. As long as it is professionally pushed, there are more two dimensions here.

Use more than 30 million to make a short-term advertisement, and the effect must be absolutely amazing.

...

The progress of the game has stabilized. Although various minor problems will still be encountered, there is no need for Chen Yi, the boss to solve it.

That is a difficult problem for programmers and planners to solve. As for how much hair they will lose and how much dark circles will increase, it is not Chen Yi's consideration.

In mid-to-early November, Chen Yi agreed to Nan Jiyue to attend the Chanel autumn and winter clothing launch event, which was finally held in Shanghai.
