"Why do you need so many people?" Ueto Hayakawa looked at the other party with a flat face.

Now Su Rui Electronics' game development team has a total of more than a dozen development teams.

Each team now has an average of about two hundred people.

This is a company with a considerable number of people among all game companies.

If there were not so many development teams, it would be impossible to compete with Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the game market. I am afraid that Youxing Electronic Entertainment would have been completely crushed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Ueto Hayakawa also knows that only enough developers can improve the quality of the game.

However, the demand for the number of game developers also has a certain upper limit. At present, a development team of 200 people is considered normal operation, and there should be no need for more people.

And this person wanted to increase a development team to more than a thousand people as soon as he opened his mouth, which is a bit much.

"This... is related to a game class I once participated in."

"Game class? What game class?"

"That... President, I hope you don't mind, it was a game class of Youxing Electronic Entertainment that I participated in once, and I was lucky enough to meet Zhu Youxing himself in that class."

This person seemed a little cautious when he said it, for fear that he would arouse Hayakawa Ueto's dissatisfaction if he said that he participated in the lecture class of Su Rui Electronics' competitor.

However, Hayakawa Ueto was quite calm.

Participate in the class of Youxing Electronic Entertainment?

So what, I also participated in it.

Although he participated quietly at the time, no one except Youxing Electronic Entertainment knew that he had attended that class.

Ueto Hayakawa, who had participated in that class, knew that Take Yusei was really capable, and he could indeed learn a lot by attending his class. He didn't need to mind the competition between the two parties and not learn the other party's advanced concepts.

That would just be self-defeating.

Speaking of which, these words were all said by his father.

Ueto Hayakawa motioned calmly, "Go ahead."

"In that class, I learned a new concept of game development, which is the industrialization of games. Everyone performs their own duties. In this process, all repetitive and tedious processes are solved in a simpler way as much as possible, so that Everyone can have time to think about more details and gameplay in the game. Thousands of people can quickly develop a standard game, and at the same time, a thousand people also have a thousand ideas to further improve the gameplay and details of the entire game. Detailed fill."

To put it simply, this is simply relying on the accumulation of people to achieve qualitative changes.

"President, I know that this may increase a lot of labor costs, but I think this is an opportunity to achieve transformation. Speaking of which, have you paid attention to the recently released Assassin's Creed by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment?"

"Assassin's Creed? Of course I know, it's quite famous recently." Ueto Hayakawa blurted out.

This game is already quite famous in the game circle.

But maybe it was because his ears were already callused after hearing about Zhu Youxing. After hearing that Zhu Youxing participated in the development of Assassin's Creed, he subconsciously believed that success was inevitable.

The person said shyly: "Actually, I also participated in the development of this game, but it took a very short time at that time, but this is also my honor."

"Huh?" Ueto Hayakawa was stunned.

The person in front of you also participated in the development of Assassin's Creed?

"Why? Why are you involved in development?"

The person immediately explained: "This was also one of the courses at that time. The course lasted for seven days, and the number of people who participated in the course happened to be more than 1,000 people. The game development industries that more than 1,000 of us are engaged in are different. Similarly, in this course, all our participating students will jointly develop a prototype of a game according to the guidance of Zhu Youxing, and then we only spent one week to build the framework of the entire game. During this period, we They also collided with countless sparks of thought, in fact, if you say it a little bit boldly, we should also be credited for the success of Assassin's Creed?"

This is really an unexpected news.

Ueto Hayakawa had never heard of this before.

He looked at the others: "Has any of you participated in that course?"

Among the other group of people who had just been promoted, two of them also stepped out and raised their hands.

"President, we have also participated. In fact, if you play this game now, our names will be included in the credit list at the end."

Ueto Hayakawa was silent for a while, and then he noticed something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at these people again: "Wait, you just said that you used a week to develop the general framework of a game?"

"Yes, I have to say that this is a miracle. To be honest, if there is no Zhuyouxing, we can't imagine that if there are enough people, game development can be so easy. Everyone's collaborative work efficiency will be so strong."

Hayakawa Ueto thought for a while and nodded, "Zhu Youxing does have this ability. I'm afraid no one else can do it except him, but it's really unbelievable."

The main framework of Assassin's Creed was completed in only one week.

He has never played this game, but he has also seen the trailer of this game.

The quite realistic game scene in the game preview gave him a deep impression.

But just like just now, Ueto Hayakawa has already regarded the success of the game developed by Takeyusei as inevitable, and has almost no doubts.

Then, he realized that he had overlooked a very important thing.

Is Zhu Youxing's success just because of his own ability?

These people just said that they also have a share of the credit for developing Assassin's Creed.

No, when I go back, I must personally experience this Assassin's Creed.

The previous inherent thinking made him forget to study the competitor's product, which has to be regarded as a mistake.

Learning from the strengths of others is what a person like him should do instead of wasting time.

"So, President, what do you think of this proposal? The matter of increasing manpower."

"This needs serious consideration." Ueto Hayakawa said.

Adding so many employees in one go was when the game department had just been reintegrated.

He can decide how many people to lay off, but he cannot completely decide how many people to recruit.

Unless he can be sure that this matter is really feasible.

It's just that it seems that everything is still unknown.

So he decided to go back and study the Assassin's Creed carefully.
