Number One Game Designer

Chapter 31 Salary Increase

In the previous life, Fang Xi always liked a famous saying of Guan Yiwu: "The warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace."

This sentence is extended to explain that when you don't need to run around for food and clothing, you have the time to consider what is etiquette and what is honor or disgrace.

For people in modern society, the truth is similar: when you don't need to worry about money, you have the time to think about what is art and what is spiritual outlook.

The same applies to the game industry. In the previous life, many game planners in China didn’t know that what they were doing was a game of rubbish cheating money, and were they planning rubbish cheating activities? No, they are the planners themselves, they know it all too well, but the superiors want KPIs, the boss wants annual reports, and the whole company is thinking about how to make more money. The planning is to make money for themselves, so they still have to plan rubbish games and cheat Krypton Activity.

It can also be said that in the previous life, the domestic game industry was still stuck in the hard-working "cang granary" stage, while foreign countries have already left the era of making games just for food because of nearly half a century of development. Began to have the ability to pursue art and make video games the ninth art.

So in the previous life, Fang Xi just smiled and said nothing when he saw the tear-off posts about domestic games on the Internet. Here is a brief timeline:

In 1972, Atari launched the first game console.

In 1976, Jobs and Wozniak, both working at Atari, developed the classic Arkanoid game. (These two would later become the founders of Apple.)

In 1992, Atari failed to compete with Nintendo for the market, and Atari began to decline.

And what about another giant in Japan, Nintendo?

Nintendo was founded in 1889 as a domino and playing card factory.

Hiroshi Yamauchi took over Nintendo in 1949 and founded the game department.

In 1964, Nintendo and Disney entered into a partnership.

In 1977, Nintendo launched the video game for the first time, which was a great success. In the same year, Shigeru Miyamoto joined Nintendo. (Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, is considered the father of modern video games.)

In 1983, Nintendo launched the red and white machine.

In fact, there is no need to trace the subsequent timeline, because it was not until almost ten years later in China that there was a small bully in China, and ordinary people had the opportunity to get in touch with Famicom, but the price was still high at that time, and it was almost until after 2000. At that time, the children only had cheap red and white machines to play in the same year, and there was a generation gap of almost 15 years. This is the game gap between China and Japan and the United States. People are directly ahead of you by a generation, take the lead? Fortunately, until Fang Xi's accident, the country finally started to have good games, so in his previous life he never participated in any tearing, because Fang Xi believed: It's not that we can't make good games, we just need time.

Fortunately, Fang Xi had the opportunity to rewrite all of this after reliving his life. nonexistent! I myself am the difference between the two worlds!

When he got off work, Fang Xi also announced to the employees the salary increase plan he discussed with Gu Qin:

The basic salary is increased by 20% to 50%, and everyone is paid one month's salary as a bonus. This move has naturally been supported by all employees.

Seeing the cheers of the employees, Fang Xi was in a daze for a moment, wondering if Hongyi, under his leadership, would rule an era like Nintendo? It still rises like a comet like Atari, and disappears like a comet.

Seeing Fang Xi beside her in a trance, Lu Wanqi hesitated for a moment, and quietly tugged at the corner of Fang Xi's clothes.

Fang Xi regained consciousness in a trance, looked at Lu Wanqi strangely, what does this little girl want to do? Lu Wanqi pouted towards the office area, reminding him that the employees are still waiting for him to write.

Finally remembering Fang Xi who hadn't finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly, and continued randomly:

"To celebrate the success of our closed beta,

Tonight, the Aegean restaurant will start, and Mr. Fang will pay for the consumption of the whole audience. "

"Oh~~~~Long live~~~~~~" The salary increase and bonus treats guests one-stop. At this moment, Hong Yi is in a sea of ​​joy, and the New Year is nothing more than that.

Fang Xi in the crowd looked at Lu Wanqi beside him: "Is there no arrangement for the evening?"

Lu Wanqi folded her hands on her chest and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

Fang Xi smiled awkwardly: "Don't think too much, I'm asking if you have time for dinner tonight."

"Okay." Lu Wanqi nodded in agreement.

"Well, come with me later, and I'll drive you there."

"When did you buy the car? Why didn't I know?"

"I don't need to report everything to you." Fang Xi rolled his eyes. "But this car belongs to my dad. He and my mom are still roaming around in Southeast Asia, so I'll drive it for a while."

Facts have proved that dating girls has always been a patient job. When it was time to set off, Lu Wanqi said to Fang Xi, "Wait for me, I'll go to the bathroom to fix my makeup." Then Fang Xi lay on the sofa and played seven fights against the landlord Only waited for Lu Wanqi.

Fang Xi couldn't help but take a second look at Lu Wanqi, who put on light makeup, and sighed in his heart that this girl is really good-looking. By the way, he teased in his heart that the people who downloaded the star map are all gay? Otherwise, such a planner with both talent and color can be let go and put in my place, even if Lu Wanqi is a vase, I will support her willingly.

Beautiful girls always seem to be particularly sensitive to their eyes, so Fang Xi took a second look, and Lu Wanqi poked out her eyes:

"What are you looking at? I'm just putting on makeup for politeness. If you look at it again, I'll resign tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to watch it." Fang Xi raised his hands in surrender helplessly: "Let's go, you must be happy, my company has 40 or 50 employees, and we all count on you to make the game a hit."

"Poor mouth." Lu Wanqi said so, with a smile on her face.

Fang Xi sighed inwardly: Girls are so easy to deceive!

After driving on the road for three minutes, Lu Wanqi was a little puzzled:

"This is not the way to the Aegean Restaurant."

Fang Xi nodded: "Let's go to the Sutang Club, the lamb over there is delicious, and it is considered a must in Beiyang City, don't you like to eat that?"

Suddenly changing from a company party to a party of two, Lu Wanqi panicked:

"But you, you, there are so many people in your company, what will they do if you don't show up tonight?"

"I told Tao Junyi and Qian Shasha to pay the company's bill tonight, and then I will reimburse the company myself. Besides, they will be happy. It doesn't matter if I show up or not."

"Then...then other people will know that I will come out with you..." After speaking, Lu Wanqi's voice became smaller and smaller.

Fang Xi was a little funny. If he had known that Lu Wanqi who was dating alone was so cute, he would have done it long ago!

"What's wrong with coming out with me? I'm not a playboy, but I'm a domineering president who keeps his integrity like jade." Fang Xi teased himself with a smile.

Seeing Lu Wanqi's little face about to cry, Fang Xi shook his head and explained:

"Anyway, they misunderstood you on your first day at work. Otherwise, why did you think they called you two days ago and asked you to come and tell me to leave work. Take it easy. Today, I really just want to thank you very much Everything I've done recently has absolutely nothing to do with it."
