Wednesday, December 7th.

In the fishing Internet café, Pei Qian drank coffee while flipping through the news on the forum.

"It's strange, it stands to reason that the qualifying tournament for IOI should start soon, why can't I see any news on the Internet?"

"There are a few pieces of gossip, but there is no real hammer, and it can't make any waves at all."

Pei Qian was a little puzzled, because according to the information from Yuyang Games, the qualifying tournament for IOI should start within a week.

Because the GPL League's preseason kick off this weekend, not all clubs will participate in this preseason, and it will only be played for three weeks.

The preseason is an opportunity for the club to practice and run in, for the league, you can adapt to various emergencies in the game in advance, and for the audience, you can also watch the game during this boring time and see the preview of the GPL league in advance.

At the end of the month, there will be a two-week break, and then around mid-January, the GPL Spring Season will officially begin.

At present, ioi is facing a huge threat from GOG, and overseas is a little better, especially at home, it can be said that every move of ioi's national service depends on GOG's face.

Including the new version changes of ioi, they are also learning from GOG.

In this case, the two major matches of the IOI, the qualifiers and the World Finals, must avoid GOG as much as possible.

The two sides of the game are played at the same time, isn't IOI's side waiting to be robbed of heat?

Therefore, the time set by the finger company should be to finish the domestic qualifying tournament this weekend and determine the three teams that will play the world championship; Wait until the end of this month to hold the World Finals just after the end of the GPL preseason, so that you can stagger the heat of the GPL and avoid its edge.

Regarding this idea, Pei Qian also raised his hands in agreement.

However, what makes Pei Qian feel a little regretful is that the ioi domestic qualifying tournament still collided with the GPL preseason: it was all played this weekend.

"It looks like the Fingers are trying hard to avoid GPL-covered events, but they can't help it, they don't have enough time."

"From the start of the preparation for the IOI qualifiers to the official start of the game, the time is very tight, and it is impossible to postpone it, and if you delay it, there will be GPL games in the next 20 days, and there is no point in delaying it."

"So I had to crash, which was kind of embarrassing."

"But a crash is a crash, and the popularity of the IOI qualifiers is so low, it's a bit unreasonable, right? It doesn't seem to be much official publicity, huh? ”

"No sound at all, isn't this giving the heat to the GPL?"

"These people are inevitably too unprofessional, and they have to find a way to help them and stir up the heat."

"Hmm...... How can it help? ”

Pei Qian couldn't help but worry about them when he saw that the popularity of the IOI qualifying tournament was so low and no one discussed it at all.

If the competition of ioi can't get up, then how can it be a threat to GOG?

If GOG's popularity continues to remain as high as it is now, how can you lose money?

Therefore, Pei Qian decided to lend a hand and help the company. At least stir up the popularity of the IOI Qualifiers and raise a bit of attention, right?

It's nothing more than a matter of spending a little marketing money, and it doesn't cost much.

Finger Company and Longyu Group are both big companies that are not bad for money, why are they so picky in this matter? This is quite puzzling to Pei Qian.

But on second thought, maybe the qualifying preparations were too hasty, so I haven't found time to stir up the heat for the time being?

Well, this possibility is also there.

Then it should be even more pulled.

It's just that how to help, Pei Qian didn't think too well.

It is definitely impossible to pay out of pocket, and with the two melons and dates in Pei Qian's pocket now, at most, he will buy some water army on the Internet to blow it, and the effect is minimal.

Besides, the fundamental purpose of doing these things is to lose money and convert more personal property, and as a result, before losing money, take personal property and paste it upside down, isn't this brain water?

So, you still have to find a way to get the system to reimburse.

The problem is that the qualifying tournament of IOI is not a competition held by Tengda, so how can this be reimbursed by the system? It seems a bit of a no-brainer.

Pei Qian touched his chin and meditated for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Yes, didn't I just invest in an IOI club! You can make some articles on this! ”

On Monday, Pei Qian had just made a trip to the magic capital, and the speed of light invested in the FV club, and it has only been two days now.

Spending the company's money to advertise the IOI qualifiers doesn't make sense, and the system won't approve it. But if you spend money to promote the FV club, and by the way, promote the ioi qualifiers, isn't it okay?

You can spend money by promoting your club, and the system is very lenient in this regard!

Although Pei Qian once made up his mind that he would never interfere with the operation of the FV club, but stuffing it with some money and advertising, this should not be considered interference in the operation, right?

Of course, there is a hidden danger in doing this, that is, what if the FV club becomes famous, the attention is greatly increased, and there is a hidden danger of profitability.

But Pei Qian thought about it, this possibility is too low, very small.

What is the current state of the FV Club?

There was some money, but it was not much, Pei Qian only gave three million, which was not worth mentioning compared to the investment of those wealthy clubs; Not to mention people, there are only three players left, and their strength is not good.

What can you do with such a club, desperately publicizing?

After all, e-sports is a matter of results, and no amount of marketing without results will only make the audience feel disgusting and uncomfortable, and will accelerate the destruction of passers-by.

Besides, the chances of the FV club breaking out of the qualifying round are very small, and now there is a wave of crazy publicity, and the popularity cannot be retained at all.

In short, the heat brought by the money-burning publicity will be focused on the ioi qualifiers, which will not have much impact on the FV club itself, and Pei Qian also spent a sum of money justifiably.

Perfect, very perfect!

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more suitable it became, and immediately dialed the phone number of Wu Yue, the owner of the FV club.

"Hey, Mr. Pei?" The phone rang a few times before it was picked up, and Wu Yue's voice was a little sleepy, as if he had just woken up.

Pei Qian looked at his watch, it was almost 11 o'clock in the morning, and he was still sleeping? Got up later than me?

Yes, Mr. Pei admires this kind of person.

Pei Qian asked, "Is there enough money to spend at the club?" ”

Wu Yue on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment.

Didn't Mr. Pei invest three million just before yesterday? Why did you withdraw money again today?

Could it be ...... Mr. Pei knew about me going to buy the players, and he was worried that I didn't have enough money here, so he wanted to add some more money to me?

Wu Yue couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth, deeply moved, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, the money is still enough, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Pei Qian was very dissatisfied with this answer.

When do you still have enough money? This Wu Yue is not honest enough at first glance.

Pei Qian coughed lightly: "Enough is definitely not possible, if you think that the money is enough, it must be that the work somewhere is not done properly!" ”

"In this case, I will give you another three million."

"However, the three million dollars are earmarked for marketing expenses. Take the money and go online to promote the FV Club and the upcoming ioi qualifiers through various channels. ”

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Pei, the marketing expenses of three million are inevitably too much!" I'm afraid it won't work very well, it's a bit wasteful......"

"Otherwise, take out 500,000 or 1 million for marketing, and use the rest of the money elsewhere......"

Hearing the word "waste", Pei Qian's eyes lit up.

It's a waste of good!

If you use it somewhere else, that's a real waste.

Pei Qian immediately said: "No, all three million must be used for marketing and promotion, and they must all be spent before the end of this week, and not a penny can be left!" ”

"Don't ask why, just the flowers."

Although Pei Qian said that he would not interfere in the daily operation of the FV club, this kind of hard stuffing money is not interference in the operation, and Wu Yue has no reason to refuse at all.

Wu Yue on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and then he reluctantly said: "Okay, Mr. Pei, since you have already thought about it, then I will use all the three million for marketing." ”

Pei Qian nodded: "Well, don't worry about the flowers, make the flowers." By the way, be sure to advertise the IOI Qualifiers. ”

Pei Qian was afraid that Wu Yue would forget, and if the FV club did not advertise the ioi qualifiers, it would be a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

After all, Pei Qian's fundamental purpose is to let more people know about the IOI Qualifiers and create heat for IOI.

Wu Yue: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I understand!" ”

……

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yue rolled over from the bed and sat up.

He rushed back from Jingzhou late at night with a few team members last night, and settled the team members to stay, almost tossing for a night, and just fell asleep at six o'clock in the morning.

Unexpectedly, I slept until noon, and was woken up by Mr. Pei's phone call, and another three million fell from the sky.

Wu Yue instantly fell asleep, got up and washed his face, and immediately called Manager Lu, and told him in detail about getting another three million marketing expenses.

Manager Lu also just woke up, just like Wu Yue.

"Mr. Pei gave another three million? And it also goes out of its way to explain that this is a marketing expense? Can only be spent on marketing? Manager Lu also felt that this matter was a little outrageous.

Why is Mr. Pei so good to FV Club?

Excluding the option that Mr. Pei is actually Mr. Wu's long-lost father, it is actually a bit unreasonable.

Wu Yue said: "I made a rough inference based on Mr. Pei's tone and recent events, do you hear if there is such a possibility." ”

"Mr. Pei asked me if the money was enough for the first sentence, it must be because he knew about our team members."

"In this case, the money given by Mr. Pei must be expected to be spent elsewhere."

"The current hard power of our team is already very good in the esports circle of IOI. What kind of results can be obtained depends on the team's run-in state, but it is absolutely no problem to break hands with those strong teams. ”

"Since we already have a certain strength, what our club lacks most at the moment is obviously heat and popularity!"

"And Mr. Pei deliberately gave a marketing fund, in fact, to remind us that it is almost time to stir up the heat, and now is the right time."

Manager Lu was stunned for a moment: "But Mr. Wu, the IOI qualifiers haven't been played yet, and we are not sure that we will definitely qualify." Now the heat is stirred, in case the heat is stirred, but the game is not won, wouldn't it be cheap for other clubs for nothing? ”

Wu Yue shook his head: "There is such a risk, but this risk must be taken." ”

"What's the use of promoting it if we're sure we're out of the line? The game is almost over, and the heat has passed! ”

"We have to promote and warm up in advance before the game starts, so as to arouse the attention of netizens to the game and our club. In this way, after our players have achieved results, we can gain more heat. ”

"As for the possibility of making a wedding dress for someone else...... It can only be said that this risk must be taken. ”

Mr. Pei should also be very aware of this, so he repeatedly told him to spend all the money within a week. Isn't this just a reminder that we must stir up the heat before the start of the game? ”

Manager Lu suddenly said: "That's right." ”

"Then I'm ready to start building momentum for the FV Club and the ioi qualifiers!"

……

After calling Wu Yue, Pei Qian put aside the matter of e-sports for the time being and didn't worry about it.

Although it took three million to help IOI promote, Pei Qian didn't have much expectation for the IOI Qualifiers, it was best to generate heat and help IOI counterattack, and it didn't matter if it couldn't generate heat.

The worst and worst situation is nothing more than that the IOI qualifiers are still not hot, but at least for Pei Qian, three million was spent.

Pei Qian began to think about the matter in the imperial capital again.

At present, there are two projects in the imperial capital that Pei Qian is more concerned about, the first is the independent game incubation base that Qiu Hong is in charge of, and the second is Meng Chang's cold-faced girl.

The independent game incubation base has been officially operating for half a month now, and Pei Qian has never been there once, and he is blind to the situation there.

For some reason, I feel a little bottomless.

What if there are some hits in these indie games? What if the revenue of two or three games completely covers the losses of other games and the expenses of the incubation base, and even generates profits?

Pei Qian has a good idea of his character, this possibility is not impossible, and it is very large.

So, there are some inexplicable worries.

But Pei Qian couldn't go over to see it in person, because the Poor Road Project and this incubation base have nothing to do with Tengda at present, if Pei Qian went by himself, wouldn't he take the initiative to expose it?

Once the "Poor Road Project" is linked to Tengda Group, all kinds of capable, idealistic, and aspiring independent game producers will come to join them, and the possibility of losing money in this plan will be greatly reduced.

Another project is the cold noodle girl.

Pei Qian also invested a lot of money in this project, and it is impossible to say that he is not worried at all.

For a project like this, it's okay to lose it, but if you make it, it will be a big profit and blood gain, and Pei Qian has not been to see it on the spot, and he also feels a little unsteady in his heart.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Pei Qian decided to send someone to see it for him.

Go to the imperial capital, first take a look at the game incubation base of the Poor Road Project, and then look at the store of the cold-faced girl, collect some information, and come back to report to yourself.

It doesn't have to be useful, but at least it can put yourself at ease.

But the question arises, who to send?

The most important thing for this person is to seek truth from facts, not to mix too much subjectivity in judgment, and preferably not to be the head of each department.

It's okay to delay the work of the department, but it won't be good if the two projects are linked after reading it.

So after Pei Qian thought about it, he quickly determined the best candidate.

Let Don Jr. go!

Tang Yishu has not had any other work except for managing the meetings of the indemnity students and feeding the cats so far, and she is not worried about any linkage effect when she goes to the imperial capital.

Moreover, Tang Yishu's presence within Tengda Group is very meager, even if he appears in the indie game incubation base, no one will guess the relationship between the incubation base and Tengda.

In addition, Tang Yishu is observing as a third party, she does not have relevant professional knowledge, and she should be able to put aside some subjective factors as much as possible to see the real situation of the indie game incubation base and the cold-faced girl.

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate, and called Tang Yishu.

"Hello? Senior. Tang Yishu on the other end of the phone lowered her voice, "I'm in the study room, I'll go outside in a moment." ”

After a while, Tang Yishu's voice returned to its normal tone: "Senior, I'm out, what's the matter?" ”

Pei Qian said straight to the point: "I want you to go to the imperial capital in the next two days tomorrow and do something for me." Our company currently has some business in the imperial capital, you can go and take a look, inspect and investigate, and report to me when you come back. ”

Tang Yishu's tone was a little stunned and surprised: "Huh? Senior, I'm not good, I'm a little scared to go far away......"

Pei Qian had already predicted: "It's okay, this time I will let Xiao Sun, who has the best driving skills in the company, drive and pick up, and then find another driver to accompany me, and carefully check the car from beginning to end before setting off to ensure that there is absolutely nothing wrong along the way." ”

"When you get there to receive Qiu Hong, you don't have to worry about anything, just inspect it for me, and then reflect the problems you see truthfully."

Pei Qian knows very well that Tang Yishu's luck is more evil, but her bad luck basically appears in some small things, such as accidentally tripping when going out, hidden bugs in the program, and so on.

Tang Yishu has never encountered a major danger that will threaten her life and health, she is not a native of Jingzhou, and she has never heard of an accident such as a train derailment when she comes all the way to study, so she doesn't have to worry too much about this.

Let Xiao Sun drive to pick him up, as long as he is careful, there will be no problem.

Tang Yishu was still a little reluctant: "But senior, it's almost exam week, and I still have to review ......"

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's only two days." With your grades, the impact of not reviewing for two days is minimal, and it will not delay you from getting a national scholarship. ”

Every time he talks about this, Pei Qian is especially envious of these super scholars.

Why did Tang Yishu get high scores every time, and when he got here, he had to fight for passing?

The world is so unfair!

Tang Yishu hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Then I'll just run, but I don't understand anything, and I may not see any problems......"

Pei Qian smiled: "It's okay, it's just that you don't understand anything to see some details." You don't have to do research or care what other people say, you just look at your first impressions and tell me what you observe. ”

"By the way, over there in the incubation base, pay attention to whether there is any overtime, overtime is absolutely not allowed."

"If you don't have overtime, look at how they're doing. If they are in good shape, they are forced to play the game, and they must play for ten hours a week! ”

Pei Qian is also smart now, he found that just restricting working hours can no longer control these people, many departments have short working hours, but the work efficiency is very high, and the progress has not fallen at all!

Therefore, in addition to working hours, you must also pay attention to the work status of these indie game producers in the incubation base, and if the state is out of the charts, you have to take some measures.

Tang Yishu: "Okay, senior. ”

……

……

Thursday, December 8th.

At the headquarters of Longyu Group, Zhao Xuming, head of IOI Operation Cooperation Department, Chrétien, head of IOI national service, and relevant staff are holding a meeting.

Chrétien briefed everyone on the work at the company's headquarters.

"At present, the headquarters is fully preparing for the IOI World Finals, and this time the finals will be held in Los Angeles, and the venue is still being prepared, which should be completed by the end of this month."

"Qualifiers from all over the world should soon be held to determine the places in the Worlds. The World Championship is tentatively scheduled for the 24th of this month, which will officially start on Saturday, Christmas Eve, and end on January 15th. ”

"This competition basically does not coincide with the GPL competition, and this is what I propose to the headquarters."

"Although in any way, the popularity of our World Finals will not be lower than that of the GPL League, but considering the special situation of the national server, we really do not need to go hard, and the staggered time can ensure that the popularity of the Finals can be maximized."

In addition, the in-depth innovation of IOI gameplay is still in progress. HQ's next goal is to further absorb the strengths of GOG's gameplay. I strongly asked for the revised version to be played in the Grand Finals to show our determination to players around the world, especially those in China. ”

"Mr. Zhao, how is the situation on the side of Longyu Group?"

Zhao Xuming took over the conversation: "Everything is going well on the side of Longyu Group, and the progress is perfect!" ”

"Some time ago, because of the low-price zone and game changes, domestic players did accumulate a lot of grievances, but our procrastination trick has begun to bear fruit."

"The targeted compensation for the old players has temporarily calmed their anger, and as for the new version, although there are certain changes in the gameplay, many old players are not so resistant after adapting to it for a while."

"I'm sure they'll accept it over time."

"Of course, the current situation cannot be blindly optimistic, and there are still some old players who are less active. But it's not a big deal, as long as the World Finals are done well and the popularity of IOI is high, these old players will definitely come back. ”

"As for the domestic clubs, it's already foolproof. Our Longyu Group cooperated with three old clubs to coordinate and help them strengthen the team. ”

"These three established clubs are all well-known clubs in the country, and they are currently the strongest, and there is no problem in making it out of the qualifying rounds. Other clubs have also received a good transfer fee by buying players, and when the time comes, participating in the qualifying tournament can also play a certain role as a foil. ”

"It's also a win-win situation for the small club, the big club and our organizers."

"In short, we are ready for the IOI World Finals!"

Chrétien nodded, "Yes." Of the three clubs you mentioned, is there one called FV Club? ”

Zhao Xuming was stunned for a moment: "Huh? No, I don't. ”

"The FV club is a small club, not very famous, even if they participate in the qualifying rounds, they are only accompanied, and their strength is far behind."

Chrétien couldn't help frowning slightly, slightly stunned.

Obviously, there is a certain deviation in the information perception of the two sides.

"So why does this FV club seem to be paying out of their own pockets for the qualifiers? I thought this was the instruction of your Longyu Group. Chrétien said.

Zhao Xuming was confused: "When did it happen?" How did I not know? ”

Chrétien was a little unhappy: "Since yesterday, Mr. Zhao's recent news doesn't seem to be very well-informed. ”

Zhao Xuming hurriedly explained: "I've been busy for the past two days, and I haven't paid much attention to these. ”

He turned his head to look at the subordinate next to him: "Do you know this?" ”

The subordinate nodded: "I know, in fact, these propaganda only appeared yesterday afternoon and evening, and I have sorted out the relevant content, and I originally wanted to report to you after today's meeting." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the subordinates hurriedly took the initiative to carry the pot on their backs.

Zhao Xuming said with a cold face: "Take it immediately!" ”

The subordinate hurriedly got up and left, and after a while, he came back with a sorted document and handed it to Zhao Xuming.

Zhao Xuming stretched out his hand to take it and took a quick look.

Judging from the situation on the report, FV Club has done publicity in many places, including some live broadcast platforms, video websites, forums, etc., in addition to buying hot searches and advertisements, there seem to be more or less signs of water army activities under these topics.

It did boost the buzz, but all of that was limited to the FV Club and IOI's domestic qualifiers.

Moreover, because the FV club itself is not well-known and must be marketed with the help of the ioi World Finals, the FV club is not the main part of these promotions.

It's no wonder that Chrétien thought that these marketing activities were commissioned by Longyu Group to FV Club.

Zhao Xuming was simply confused, what is the situation?

The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry?

Longyu Group did not deliberately promote the IOI qualifiers in China, mainly because there was no need to waste money on this.

There are only a few teams participating in the domestic qualifying round, except for the three old clubs such as SUG, the other participating teams are all accompanied, and they have been determined from the time of team selection.

Moreover, the attention of this qualifying tournament in China will not be very high, and the number of spectators will not be very large, Longyu Group does not plan to spend more money on the venue, but just found a studio to make do, thinking that it will be over after a passing scene.

In this case, why spend too much money on marketing?

When the heat is stirred, the audience comes in and takes a look, and the stage is here? That's the level of competition? It's far from the GPL!

Spending money doesn't necessarily have a good effect.

So Zhao Xuming didn't forget about publicity, but deliberately didn't want to publicize it with much fanfare. Just go through the motions and send the three veteran teams to the World Championship, and then try to promote and create heat when the World Championship comes.

Money has to be spent on the cutting edge.

Unexpectedly, the FV club paid out of its own pocket to advertise it!

Zhao Xuming felt very puzzled, thinking that this qualifying tournament had nothing to do with them?

If these clubs of SUG pay for publicity, it will be forgotten, after all, they can get real popularity and traffic, but the FV club is an escort, isn't it a pure waste of money to publicize this?

Seeing Zhao Xuming's dazed look, Chrétien was a little unhappy.

He knocked lightly on the table and said, "Mr. Zhao, the matter of the FV Club has not had a good impact. ”

"Our own publicity efforts are not enough, many players get information from the FV club, but there is no official news, which seems to be very unprofessional!"

"I thought that the promotion of the FV club was instructed by you, and I thought that you were a little unprofessional in doing this. But I didn't expect you to know about it at all? This is even more unprofessional! ”

"Out of trust in Longyu Group, we have never asked about the domestic qualifiers, but the current situation seems to have betrayed our trust, right?"

The corners of Zhao Xuming's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless in his heart.

This is unlucky!

According to the original plan, the domestic qualifying tournament will be carried out casually, and the scene can be passable, the teams are all internally determined, and no one will watch it, so why make such a big battle?

It's never too late to save your money and wait for the Worlds to go on again.

As a result, now the FV club is doing this, which makes it difficult for the official to ride the tiger. Players look at it, IOI's official publicity is not as good as a club? I will definitely feel that the finger company and Longyu Group are particularly unprofessional.

To use a simple analogy, Longyu Group is like a department leader, who originally took the whole department to fish together, and others can't see it, at most, they just feel that this department is not very powerful.

As a result, suddenly someone in the department worked hard and worked overtime every day, and the rest of the department was all exposed, turning into a bunch of waste waiting to die.

In particular, the head of the department must have been scolded the most.

Zhao Xuming hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it's still too late to remedy!" ”

"The game only starts on Saturday and there are two days to go. We will devote some resources to promoting the qualifiers for ioi, so that players will feel that the FV club has only gotten the inside information in advance and promoted it before the official ones, and will not feel that we are unprofessional. ”

"Moreover, with the momentum of the FV club, we should be able to achieve relatively good results if we promote it at this time."

Chrétien nodded and expressed satisfaction: "It is best to remedy it, I believe in your professional ability." ”

Zhao Xuming was smiling and light on the surface, but in fact, he scolded the street in his heart.

Isn't this FV looking for trouble? Harm others is not good for yourself!

Now Longyu Group has to come up with a lot of money and invest in this qualifying tournament.

Not only advertising and marketing expenses, but also the venues of the competition have to hurry up and make them a little more fancy, right?

The attention has come up, and there must be more players who find faults, and if the venue is not good enough, it will definitely lower the level of the game, which is more embarrassing.

Of course, there are still two days to start, the time is too urgent, it must be too late to change the venue, so we can only purchase some more decorations to improve the effect of the venue as much as possible.

Zhao Xuming still can't figure out why the FV club has nothing to do and spends money to promote itself, but he doesn't have time to study it in detail.

After all, time is pressing, and there are still two days to go, so Zhao Xuming has to put all his energy into preparing for the qualifying tournament.

……

At the same time, the imperial capital.

Tang Yishu got out of the car and cautiously stepped on the land of the imperial capital.

It was her first time here, and although she was frightened along the way, she miraculously did not have any accidents.

However, this did not make Tang Yishu feel at ease, she felt more dangerous.

It may be that the previous safety measures were too in place, and the bad luck did not find an opportunity to take advantage of it, and it all accumulated. I don't know what breakthrough I found, and it will suddenly explode.

Xiao Sun drove the car directly to the parking lot of the hotel, Qiu Hong had already helped book a room and waited in the hall in advance.

According to the itinerary, eat something and rest at noon, go to the independent game incubation base in the afternoon, go up to the cold noodle girl the next day, and return to Jingzhou in the afternoon.

Qiu Hong looked at the mechanical watch in his hand and estimated that the time should be almost up.

After waiting for two minutes, he looked up and saw Tang Yishu coming to the main entrance of the hotel.

The two drivers guarded her like bodyguards, one left and one right, carefully protecting her safety, but the automatic revolving door at the entrance of the hotel suddenly stopped for some unknown reason, and the three of them froze in place.

Qiu Hong hurriedly stepped forward and opened the side door next to him: "Xiao Tang, right?" Come over here! ”

Tang Yishu and the two drivers had to go through the side door, but as soon as they entered the hall, the revolving door at the entrance of the hotel returned to normal.

Qiu Hong didn't care, thinking that it was just an unexpected episode, and shook hands with Tang Yishu.

"It's been a hard work. The three of them must be tired after a long journey, and the itinerary is like this: we first go to the neighborhood to have a simple meal, and then the three of them go back to the hotel at noon to rest. At two o'clock in the afternoon, we will meet in the hall, and I will take everyone to the incubation base to have a look. ”

"Now the time is...... Hey? ”

Qiu Hong subconsciously raised his wrist to look at the current time, but found that the mechanical watch that was fine just now was no longer gone.

He was a little dazed, he had been wearing this watch for several years, and there had been no major problems, and he had just wound it some time ago.

How do you walk so well that it suddenly stops?

Tang Yishu looked up at the sky a little embarrassed, as if nothing had happened.

……

At noon, the indie game incubation base.

Wu Zhicheng was eating in the lounge area with a few new indie game producers.

"Look, I'll just say that this tomato and egg scrambled from the fish takeaway is particularly delicious, right? It's different from what you do in a restaurant outside, right? The dishes that touch the fish and take out are absolutely healthy. ”

“…… Well? Work plan? Don't worry, it's not a deadline that has to be completed, it can be adjusted. If you feel that there is something new to add, you can always find Xi Hao. ”

“…… Don't be afraid of him, don't think of Xi Hao as your boss or manager, he is just the boss of the service department, he will not intervene in the project, he will only plan the work plan according to your ideas, and the specific way of the project is still up to you. ”

"Here, eat more."

Like the old-timers, Wu Zhicheng has shown great care for the new indie game producers, even though he has only been here for less than a month.

Originally, Wu Zhicheng thought that he would be very uncomfortable with this kind of collective work, but after he came, he found that it was not like that at all!

After coming here, the development progress of "Ink and Smoke" can be described as leaps and bounds.

Wu Zhicheng also thought deeply about the difference.

In retrospect, he used to think that he was doing games at home efficiently, which was a complete delusion.

Because working from home is often distracted by some trivial things, such as how to deal with the art resources of a certain part of the game, what to do if you suddenly find that the whole big framework plan is not clear in the middle of a certain level, and you have to overturn it and start over.

This situation is often encountered, because Wu Zhicheng's planning of the entire project is not detailed and comprehensive, and these trivial things can really be distracting.

But after coming to this incubation base, other people are responsible for all these small things, and Wu Zhicheng only needs to think seriously about creativity and design, and his efficiency has naturally improved a lot.

Many indie game producers can't get through, and it's also because of this problem.

There is a specialization in the art industry, even in the planning industry, designing gameplay, adjusting values, raising art needs, planning and development progress, etc., the nature is completely different, and it is difficult for anyone to be fully proficient.

Once a certain part is not good at, then in order to make up for this shortcoming, it will involve a lot of energy.

But now with the help of the incubation base, independent game producers like Wu Zhicheng only need to be responsible for creative and game design, and other work has professionals to help, and under such a detailed division of labor, the efficiency is naturally greatly improved.

Originally, Wu Zhicheng was a little afraid of socializing, and he was a little worried about whether he would encounter those workplace problems, but after this period of getting along, he found that he was completely worried!

As the head of the administrative department, Xi Hao is very clear about the positioning of his department: this is just a service department.

Therefore, there is no question of who manages whom, and naturally there are no twists and turns in the workplace.

On the contrary, these independent game producers have been screened by Qiu Hong, with high and low abilities, but their personalities are relatively simple, so they don't have so much deceit, and they are naturally closer.

Wu Zhicheng realized that in fact, there are very few people in this world who are truly completely autistic and do not want to communicate with others, and many people seem to be autistic and socially phobic on the surface, just because they are in a circle that is not suitable for them.

Now Wu Zhicheng is in a circle that is very suitable for him, so he is very happy every day, and his personality is a lot more cheerful.

Everyone was eating lunch with laughter and laughter, and Xi Hao came over from outside.

"In the afternoon, Mr. Qiu may want to bring someone over to take a look, which can be regarded as an inspection, and tell everyone in advance." Xi Hao said.

Wu Zhicheng was stunned for a moment: "Is there anything that needs to be prepared in advance?" ”

Although Wu Zhicheng has very little formal work experience in the company, he has seen this kind of thing when the leader inspects it. Generally, you have to prepare in advance to make a good impression on the leader.

To tell the truth, Wu Zhicheng has always been curious about who the boss behind the incubation base is, but he has never received a definite answer.

On the surface, Qiu Hong is in charge of everything, but there are rumors that Qiu Hong is not the real boss, and there is someone else behind the whole poor plan.

I wonder if the person who came to inspect this time is the real boss?

Xi Hao shook his head: "You don't need to prepare anything in advance, we can just show the truest side." ”

"We are in strict accordance with Mr. Qiu's requirements, eight-hour work system, although the working hours are not very long, but everyone's work is very serious, the state is full, in fact, the work status is higher than that of many companies 996."

"I think it should be enough for everyone to show this conscientious and responsible work as usual."
