Play Game of Life

Chapter 78 Recruitment (810)

Yao Wenyang walked into the hall, sat down on a chair in the rest area, and looked around curiously.

No matter how you look at it... it looks like a rock climbing gym!

Of course, there are some gaming elements, such as what appears to be an Ordinary Life poster on one of the walls.

But the large-scale rock climbing walls and parkour facilities have betrayed it mercilessly.

"What's going on with this company? Should I just leave the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den again?"

Yao Wenyang felt a little nervous, because he didn't know much about this 404 studio.

Although the name of Studio 404 is known to many people because of the popularity of "Ordinary Life", its internal composition is still a mystery.

Yao Wenyang only roughly found out that this studio is composed of four young college students, and these four college students once performed at the school's welcome party, and left a deep impression on the audience. "title.

What is it called? The best skit performer in the game? The one who knows how to play games best among the sketches?

Originally, Yao Wenyang could not avoid this kind of start-up small company. After all, this kind of small company may have many pitfalls.

Yao Wenyang's current position is to be the executive director of a medium-sized game company in Jinghai, and his abilities can be considered relatively comprehensive. Based on his experience, he shouldn't have stepped on the trap of a small company.

But after all, 404 Studio has just made a hit game, so the funds should be very abundant. Moreover, Yao Wenyang was really exhausted physically and mentally in his current company, so he decided to try his luck.

What if this is a good company?

As for the fact that the boss and all key employees are much younger than me...

It doesn't matter, everyone in this circle only cares about strength, not age. Although Mr. Lu is young, he has already succeeded in the two projects of "You in Eyes" and "Ordinary Life", and he is a proper talented designer. To work under such a person, Yao Wenyang was convinced.

Of course, the premise is that Mr. Lu has a normal mind.

Originally, Yao Wenyang had no doubts about this, but after seeing the office space...it's hard to say.

As he was sitting, he saw two young men approaching.

Yao Wenyang knew the one on the left, it was Lu Zhixing, the boss of this studio. He didn't recognize the slightly fat little man on the right, but he vaguely felt that he looked familiar.

"Hello Mr. Lu!" Yao Wenyang greeted hurriedly.

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yao Wenyang, right? Thank you for coming to the interview. You can sit down for a while. Our interview will start on time in half an hour."

After that, he walked towards Zhong Haibin.

Li Rushan followed closely, and he was particularly active in the recent recruitment activities.

In fact, in the agreement that Li Shi made with him before, he was only required to go around the company he invested in every now and then, to inspect and inspect the situation casually to see the situation. After all, Li Rushan is too homely. Without this agreement, he would probably be able to lie in the hotel for 30 days without moving his nest.

Of course, this agreement didn't help much, because Li Rushan was really just dealing with errands, and after he went there, he was already clamoring to leave before his butt was hot.

But at Studio 404, things were a little different.

Li Rushan ran here every day, staying from daytime to nighttime, and reluctantly leaving until after get off work.

Because this place is so interesting!

Under the careful construction of Li Rushan and Lu Zhixing, there are game playing equipment and all kinds of delicious snacks everywhere, and there are many people who love to play games, which suddenly makes him feel that the hotel is not good. Change the house.

More importantly, Mr. Lu seems to be taking an unusual path, and every step is different from normal companies.

From determining the office space before, to the subsequent decoration, to the current recruitment... every minute and every second is full of fun!

So Li Rushan is also actively involved in these tasks, rather than saying that he is serious about work, it is better to say that he is serious about having fun.

Zhong Haibin is the most professional parkour and rock climbing coach that Jinghai can find. Lu Zhixing and Li Rushan have already learned about this through headhunting.

So after a brief chat, we entered the skill demonstration session.

Zhong Haibin put chalk powder on his hands, and performed all kinds of rock climbing and parkour movements to the two bosses, which were crisp and smooth.

It can be seen that this is a real kung fu, and it cannot reach this level without years of hard training.

And judging from his speech and conversation, he has a good personality, is more patient, and explains his technical movements in detail. He is indeed very suitable for the job of a coach.

So the interview ended smoothly, and with the strong support of Li Rushan, the contract was finally signed with a premium of 30%.

In terms of employee salaries, Li Rushan's idea is that the higher the better, after all, his ultimate goal is 500 million, which is too far away, and there is no way to reach a thousand miles without a single step.

But with Zhang Qi watching, this salary increase should not be too outrageous, 30% is basically the limit.

As far as Lu Zhixing is concerned, he doesn't mind giving his employees a little higher wages. After all, he was a hard-working worker in his previous life. There are many abnormalities in the salary of the workplace, such as the salary of new and old employees is upside down, and they don't change jobs and don't get raised. Salary and the like are also disgusting.

He couldn't be his own boss, so he turned into the person he hated once.

The game industry is an industry with extremely high profit margins. At this time, Lu Zhixing has a lot of resources at hand, so he has to take a long-term view, and there is no need to search and search because of this kind of thing.

Yao Wenyang, who was waiting in the hall, saw the happy face of Zhong Haibin, and knew that the salary level must be in place.

If it was about the same salary as before, he wouldn't be so happy.

Yao Wenyang is a little envious. On the one hand, he is looking forward to changing jobs and raising his salary. On the other hand, he is worried that his ability will not meet the requirements.

"Come on, let's talk in the conference room."

Lu Zhixing and Li Rushan sent Zhong Haibin away, and brought Yao Wenyang to the work area for an interview.

Along the way, Yao Wenyang caught a glimpse of the whole work area, and his envy was beyond words.

This condition is too good!

Brand new desks, ergonomic chairs, brand new computers and VR gaming equipment, and huge lounges, entertainment rooms...

It can be seen that this company is rich and powerful, and it reveals that it is not short of money everywhere.

Although it is a bit strange that the company is in a rock climbing gym, it is obvious that there is a world inside, and this office environment is really good!

Yao Wenyang couldn't help but look forward to it more.

When he came to the meeting room, Lu Zhixing began to ask questions.

They asked some professional questions, such as Yao Wenyang's previous resume, which games he has developed, which jobs he has held, what his views on certain jobs are, and what professional skills he has...

Yao Wenyang did have hard skills, and he answered very well, and he didn't have any empty words. He was obviously a practical employee.

Lu Zhixing was quite satisfied: "Okay, I can basically confirm that your ability is sufficient for this job."

Yao Wenyang came here because he was in charge of the transplant team.

The porting team is mainly responsible for porting the games developed by Lu Zhixing to other platforms such as PCs, consoles, and mobile phones. A layman may think, what's the point? The game has been made, is there any difficulty in transplanting it?

But anyone in the industry will know that this thing is actually not that easy.

Many classic games often have many problems after porting, such as optimization problems and operation problems. Once these problems appear, it will have a devastating blow to the player experience and cause the entire porting project to collapse.

This is only a problem at the technical level. At the design level, the operation methods of different platforms have to be redone, and the art resources and game content have to be optimized and traded off.

Just like "Ordinary Life", if this game wants to be moved to mobile phones, not only the operation method needs to be greatly changed, but the game perspective must also be changed from the first-person perspective to the God perspective, and various art resources must also be adjusted, which is not a small job quantity.

These changes may involve the underlying design of the game, and must be checked by a senior designer.

It's just that Li Rushan was listening, but couldn't sit still.

He surreptitiously tugged at the corner of Lu Zhixing's clothes, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Lu, are all the people you recruited... too reliable?"

Lu Zhixing also lowered his voice: "Otherwise, how would you explain to Uncle Zhang?"

Li Rushan thought for a while: "Well... that's right."

Lu Zhixing said again: "Besides, he may not be able to accept our conditions."

Yao Wenyang was a little confused, what were these two talking about?

Explain what? On what terms?

Lu Zhixing looked at Yao Wenyang and said with a smile: "The work in our company may be a little hard and challenging. Do you think you can handle it?"
