The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 285: Prepare for the Spring Festival, Congratulations and Get Rich Grenade

The project team responsible for the Sprawling City has already expanded from the original 10-person group to 40 people.

This is because manpower is tight right now and it is not convenient to recruit people.

——Zhumeng’s employee benefits and salary packages are first-class, which is indeed very attractive to practitioners.

But no matter what...

Chinese New Year is coming soon.

It is really difficult to recruit suitable employees at this time.

When many departments feel that they are short of staff, they rely on mobilizing their employees and tricking their reliable former colleagues over.

Even Lu Ming couldn’t help but have evil thoughts after the “The Ocean” project was officially launched.

He had made up his mind before that after leaving the Konjac Game, he would "part ways and never see each other again."

But now, he is ready to poach people...

It is time-consuming and laborious to recruit people from outside, and we don’t even know their abilities and character.

How can an old subordinate who has been used for several years be so useful? !

But "The Divine Bird" is, after all, half his child, and it represents his years of hard work.

It doesn't sound good to tell others that you are poaching employees from your old employer.

This made him very conflicted.

Until the 11 old subordinates who came with him to build the dream, half of them found him privately one after another and said that an old colleague with whom he had a good relationship had come to him and hoped that he could help with an internal referral.

They couldn't refuse Lu Ming's kindness, so they came to ask for his opinion.

Lu Ming closed his eyes.

"Why are you asking me?"

The employees looked at each other in bewilderment.

"For this kind of thing, according to the procedure you have to find someone first."

"Oh~~" The subordinates nodded in understanding and no longer hesitated.

Lu Ming's mental exhaustion was cured without treatment.

……

However, this situation will not last long. The human resources department of Dream Building is already gearing up to make a big splash in the peak recruitment season after the New Year and to add a large number of staff to each department and project team.

Until then, we'll just have to make do with this.

The cooperation between the marketing department and Remington was quickly discussed. The only disagreement during the whole process was——

Remington Arms Company hopes to turn this gun store into an online store as well.

Users in the United States can place orders in this gun store and purchase real guns, bullets or accessories.

What you can buy depends on which state the user lives in and whether that state's laws are loose or strict on gun ownership.

The other party's expert patted his chest and assured:
"Just leave the specific operational work to us."

"Don't worry, we are familiar with the laws of each state and will definitely not violate the laws of any state."

The employees from DreamZhu who were attending the conference were totally confused on the spot.

——These workers, who would have ever thought that they would become arms dealers in their lifetime?

He immediately suspended the meeting and ran to report to Xu Meng.

When Xu Meng heard this idea, he was also stunned - it actually coincided with his own?

Originally, in his plan, the virtual store in Mansheng City would also be connected with real-life products.

But the problem is: he is thinking about daily necessities, not guns!
The risks of firearms are too great.

If a serious school shooting occurs in the United States someday, and the police investigate and find that the murderer bought the gun from a sprawling city...

Remington Arms may be able to resolve the legal issues.

But the impression of Dream Building in the minds of players and users will be greatly reduced!

After all, the number of users is the key benefit in building dreams.

There can be no compromise on this.

"Tell them, no."

The employees conveyed Xu Meng's opinions to the experts from Remington Arms Company.

The other party expressed incomprehension but respect.

Instead, another request was made:
Build a large CQB venue where players can conduct highly realistic tactical confrontation activities.

There are already similar venues in the sprawling city.

Many activities of the Ningzhou Military Promotion Club organized by Qin Chao have been moved to this virtual venue.

But experts from Remington Arms Company believed that the existing venue was too amateurish and too small - if they wanted to achieve the same tactical training effect, they would have to expand it at least three times!
DreamZhu has always respected the opinions of experts, so this request was approved immediately. The subsequent communication progressed very quickly.

The agreement was signed within a few days and entered the stage of substantive promotion.

So this already very busy project team of only 40 people added two more tasks to their work schedule.

And it's an urgent mission——

Cooperate with Remington Arms Company to open a themed gun store and recreate a large indoor CQB venue.

This puts them under increased pressure.

After all, the holidays are coming soon.

Not to mention, they have other work on hand——

They have to prepare the Spring Festival content before the holiday.

In order to update the content for the Spring Festival, they postponed all the cooperative brand stores such as clothes, shoes, drinks and snacks to after the New Year.

We are wholeheartedly creating a Spring Festival atmosphere for the players.

Now that there is suddenly an additional job, time has immediately become tight.

We had to split into two groups, with half of the team continuing to work on the Spring Festival content and the other half working on the gun store and shooting venue.

Fortunately, two days later, Xu Meng brought employees from the overseas studio into this project team.

They don't need to celebrate the Spring Festival and have more time for working.

——Of course, due to Xu Meng’s personal preference, he will still give all employees around the world a day off on the Spring Festival.

Just think of it as company culture.

After this operation, the employees of the Mansheng Metropolis project team breathed a sigh of relief.

……

……

During this period of time, every department of DreamZhu was busy preparing for the Spring Festival holiday.

It goes without saying that "Monster Hunter" is preparing for closed beta testing.

"Frost and Snow Project" is a second-generation game that was once pure but is not so pure now.

The 2 version was originally scheduled to be updated in February, and with the Spring Festival, a grand event in the second-party game circle, the amount of content is even greater - far exceeding that of the Sprawling Metropolis project team.

However, they have been preparing for this for several months. Whether it is the New Year decorations of the Silver City, the theme costumes of the characters, or the new gameplay that the boss has come up with that can make people with obsessive-compulsive disorder explode on the spot - [Colored Paper War], they have all been completed early.

Now we just need to do more testing to avoid serious bugs after the gameplay goes online.

"Lord of War" will also be updated for the Spring Festival.

[Frenzy Mode] Added a new monster - [Nian Beast].

This is not the opinion of Xu Meng or the development team, but the opinion of the players.

——I don’t know how the rumor came out, but suddenly many people said that Dream Building would update [Nian Beast] during the Spring Festival.

At first, the development team didn't take it seriously.

But as the news spread, more and more people believed it, until almost everyone believed it to be true.

Then, a call came from the big boss Xu Meng.

There is nothing much to say after that...

"Dream Building will do whatever the players need."

[Nian Beast] was thus put on the agenda.

In addition to this, several other modes also need to be updated.

But at the beginning, everyone’s idea was to add some Spring Festival elements to the battlefield, or to open a special battlefield for the Spring Festival.

But as soon as the plan was submitted, Xu Meng added a bunch of props into it.

——What about [Fireworks Gatling Gun], [Gong Xi Fa Cai Grenade], [Ertiary Fireworks RPG], [Dumpling Submachine Gun], [Pumpkin Seed Blowgun]...

It's all outrageous stuff.

When the development team saw these things, they were confused for a while.

After realizing what was happening, he continued to complain about the outrageous things while still throwing himself into his work with great enthusiasm.

At the same time, I also started to think about more outrageous props, hoping to prove my imagination to my boss.

……

In the busy time, more than ten days passed by quickly.

The New Year gift that Xu Meng prepared for the players has finally been made public.

The first one——

Holographic display equipment is now on the shelves!
