I'm almost a Muggle

Li Changwei has never been able to figure it out.

Why did I fall to this point?

His family is a movie family.

His grandfather should be one of the earliest film projectors, playing movies in the open air in the countryside.

His father was affected. After graduating from high school, he failed to get into college. He learned some skills and went to the cinema to work as an electrician.

So Li Changwei started watching movies since he was a child.

He also likes watching movies very much, and after graduating from college, he naturally entered the film industry.

Wandering in major theaters for a while, selling popcorn and Bingkuoluo, guarding the surveillance room to watch men and women touching tigers in the theater, and finally working as a marketing assistant and film scheduling and operation supervisor.

Later, when I was working, I met Tian Dazhuang who knew nothing about movies.

At that time, Tian Dazhuang was inspecting various places and then looking for some suitable theater managers.

If the two have a good time talking, don’t worry about how to have a good time talking to someone who doesn’t like to talk.

Tian Dazhuang could see Li Changwei's love for movies.

No matter how capable he is, this kind of love cannot be performed. Is Tian Dazhuang sincere to people and does he have a nearly instinctive keenness in his performance?

So, Li Changwei became Tian Dazhuang's subordinate.

Li Changwei did not look down on Tian Dazhuang.

No matter why Tian Dazhuang takes the position of general manager of theaters, he is a good leader.

It is enough to know people and make good use of them.

I am most afraid of those who rely on nepotism, clearly know nothing, but insist on biting the bullet and pointing fingers.

Don’t be surprised. After scientific research, you will meet such a leader and it is ten thousand times more likely to live in a nest of cockroaches in your kitchen sewer.

Tian Dazhuang never takes any action on theaters' business.

Fully delegate power.

As long as you do well, he will be rewarded with great rewards. Not only will he divide the amount you deserve, but he will often take out the part he deserves.

I will also actively help you get promotion opportunities.

Li Changwei almost became the general manager of the Miaowei Cinemas in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

If it wasn't for the head coach.

Li Changwei couldn't understand it here. He didn't seem to have done anything out of the way when he received the main steward to inspect the branch.

Why did I just transfer him from Meow Tail Cinema?

Stuck directly into the strategy department.

And Mr. Pei was also very unreliable. He asked him to do this and that, and he was transferred away before he could get familiar with the environment, saying that he couldn't do it.

He has done distribution, improved user experience for live broadcast platforms, and organized activities on shopping websites...

Now it has become a dry juicer and is given to Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chuan Chu

If you don’t say anything else, just forget about juicing, why do you say that even skewers are not good?

Moreover, there is no need for him to do it one by one.

Does the company need such all-round talents?

"Manager Li, come to my office."

After receiving a call from Pei Qianlong, Chang Wei sighed, Chuan Chuan on his hand, greeted the people in the cafeteria, took off his work clothes and washed his hands.

Based on past experience, he is likely to start a new job soon.

I don't know what it is.

"Sit down, has Manager Li ever been exposed to games?" Pei Qianlong took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows.

"No, I never play games." Could it be to let myself be a game practitioner? I heard that some bosses use public equipment for private use, asking employees to help them open up dungeons.

"I mean I've been exposed to game development?" Pei Qianlong couldn't figure out what Mr. Lin liked to like this Manager Li.

Let him hone this guy well and destroy his arrogance.

That's why he arranged various jobs for Li Changwei, and he would deny him if he didn't give him the chance to get started.

Finally, even the work of serving tea and pouring water was arranged.

"No!" Li Changwei shook his head decisively.

However, he knew that it was useless to shake his head. He would ask questions every time he arranged a job, but this kind of conversation had no effect on the work arranged by Mr. Pei.

"That's right, the company has new arrangements for your work," said Pei Qianlong.

"Oh, what did I do?" Li Changwei was really curious. He would have asked him to clean the toilet, or to go to the company's community to be an aunt in the neighborhood committee.

"The company will set up a game business department, which belongs to the first-level department, and you will be the general manager. Congratulations, Mr. Lin will be able to attend the roundtable next time he comes back." Pei Qianlong looked at Li Changwei's face with interest.

Every time he arranges a new job for Li Changwei, his expression is very exciting.

Li Changwei looked straight at the way, his eyes were dissipated and powerless, and he was no longer focused.

He suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing.

I also suspect that Pei always deliberately made fun of him.

However, the game business department, first-level department, general manager, roundtable meeting, and so many keywords, it is impossible that all of them are auditory hallucinations.

Moreover, this kind of thing is not something you can just joke around.

"Given the current work ability, I will follow up for a while, and this time will not be too long, so you must make some results as soon as possible. In principle, if you don't ask me for help, I will not care about any work in your game business department."

Li Changwei was still in a daze.

There is no way. If you are from Chuanchuanchuan, and someone suddenly asks you to be the president, what will your reaction?

"Everyone calls us a cat factory, and most of our departments also start with the word "meow". The distribution department recently plans to change its name to Meow. So you can't use this. I personally recommend that you choose Meow shit or Meow urine..."

"Can you call meow?" Li Changwei finally came back to life.

"M Station members are used to calling M Station Mao's nest, so..." Pei Qianlong shook his head.

Li Changwei thought a few hard, but none of them seemed to be suitable. This method greatly alleviated the huge impact of this appointment.

"Can you call meow game be OK?"

"This seems OK, the name doesn't matter. The important thing is not to let down President Lin's expectations." Pei Qianlong saw that Li Changwei had returned to normal, so he began to say: "I personally don't really like this appointment, but President Lin trusts you very much, so you are very lucky."

"I..." Li Changwei wanted to say, actually I want to stay in Meow Tail Cinema.

But the workplace is ruthless, it’s not that you do whatever you want.

"I thought about it carefully later and understood what Mr. Lin meant. Your advantage lies in his attitude towards users." Pei Qianlong was as arrogant as he thought about it for a long time this time before he realized why Mr. Lin chose Li Changwei.

Li Changwei attaches great importance to users.

This is a user-first person, and the gaming industry seems to need such a person.

Games are an industry that serves users purely.

Unlike Miaozhao.com, there are consumers on one side and consumer suppliers on the other; the same is true for Miaoya Live. Users, anchors, reviews, and various factors are combined together, so they cannot blindly cater to user experience.

Games, especially early games, can achieve a good user experience and truly win the space for survival.

Li Changwei walked out of Mr. Pei's office in a daze, and then followed the administrative staff to the office arranged for him by the company.

Yes, he has a personal office, too.

In the Crest Headquarters Building.

As one of the newly promoted senior executives of the roundtable, a temporary worker who was still in Chuan Chuan Chuan half an hour ago suddenly became the owner of this spacious and bright office.

General Manager Li Changwei.

The nameplate was made and placed on his empty desk.

But, how do you want to make a game?

Li Changwei was confused.

Even though he had lost his mind, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only recruit a few people who knew what he knew first according to Mr. Pei's advice.

"Brother Fu, what are you doing?"

The first person Li Changwei thought of was a middle school classmate, a classmate who had been in junior high school for six years, and his relationship was very strong.

This person's real name is Yang Baofu.

The name is a bit rustic, but it also carries the expectations of other parents.

Later, the classmates gave him a nickname called Lai Fu, which happened to be with Chang Wei.

After graduating from high school, we go our separate ways, but we will contact each other occasionally.

Yang Baofu's work is barely related to the game.

Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not a game planning, game design or game development.

He is just the boss of a game training studio.

Yang Baofu is a senior game fan. He has liked playing games since he was a child, and he has become even more serious when he went to college. He studied in a four-year university for five years before he finished his credits. Half of his classmates had never seen him.

Since the rate of skipping classes in college is as high as 95%, even if he is sent out of the school, he still has no idea about it in the talent market.

This is naturally impossible to find a job.

In desperation, he formed his own game training studio, whose main business is to train the sword three monsters, and he barely survived.

It was not until the development of e-sports in recent years that his studio gradually gained a foothold.

Not only did he solve the problem of food and clothing, he even set up a team.

In the circle of old classmates, Lai Fu and Chang Wei are both successful people.

"It's nothing. I just talked about business with the Internet cafe owner. The Internet fee is getting more and more expensive, which makes me want to open an Internet cafe myself." Yang Baofu sighed there.

"You are a little irrational when opening an Internet cafe these days." Even if you don't know this market, you know that the Internet cafe is over.

I remember when I was in school, there were Internet cafes everywhere near the school, one yuan and five an hour, one hundred and one hundred, and a lot of people were waiting in line to get on the plane.

However, time has changed, and in just a few years, the living environment of Internet cafes has undergone tremendous changes.

"Just say, how dare you, you can't stand the troubles." Lai Fu said.

"Brother Fu, are you interested in playing games? I lack people here." Li Changwei said with a tough bullet.

He was really blinded, even darker than Tian Dazhuang, who took over the Meow Tail Cinemas.

After all, many people around Tian Dazhuang were from the film industry at that time.

At least he is not unfamiliar with movies.

But Li Changwei is different. He has had no intersection with the game in his life except for people who play games.

He has never even played Tetris or Crypto.

"Brother Wei, aren't you working in a cinema? Why did you get involved in making games?" Yang Baofu's biggest regret was that he failed to ruin Li Changwei. He recommended hundreds of games, but never succeeded in one go.

"It's hard to describe it. It's a job transfer. I know you, the only one who knows games." Li Changwei seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Brother Wei, don't joke. You can't do it casually. I have a lot of things here. Although I don't make much money, it's at least enough for me to pay my mortgage..."

"I'll give you 30,000 yuan a month and 20 yuan a salary. If we two can make the game later, a million yuan annual salary will not be a problem." Li Changwei actually didn't understand his authority.

However, when he was recruited by Tian Dazhuang, his salary was at this level.

Before becoming the general manager, his monthly salary had increased to 70,000, and I don’t know if this promotion would be paid.

On the contrary, he only promised 30,000 yuan.

Still have shallow knowledge. The general manager of Klester has long had an annual income of less than five million.

There are several that can even get tens of millions.

"Puff, Brother Wei, you're not kidding." Yang Baofu still thought this was a joke.

"Brother, who would joke about such things? I really need someone who knows the game to help me. Will you come? In a word, don't say that I don't care about you in the future!"

When we were in school together, we said, "Don't forget each other if we are rich and noble."

If neither of them has achieved much, this is a secondary disease, but if one party really makes a fortune, this is a promise.

"I'm Sun, you're the one who's done it. Give me an address and I'll buy a ticket now."

The training studio can be given directly to others.

He worked hard and worked hard. Sometimes he had to roll up his sleeves and go on his own. He only got ten thousand yuan a month and paid back the mortgage in second-tier cities. He basically had very little left. After graduation for a few years, he couldn't even pay a girlfriend.

The next day, Li Changwei met Yang Baofu who rushed to the capital in turmoil.

When Pei Qianlong heard that he had recruited people here, he fulfilled his responsibilities of helping with care and came to greet him.

If Lin Dong hadn't asked him to help take care of the game business department, he would rarely ask about such jobs.

Even if he supervises the game business department, he will only focus on the big and let go of the small, and control the big direction and you will be at the top of the sky without any problems.

"This is Mr. Pei." Li Changwei introduced the post of the childhood friend.

"Hello, boss!" Yang Baofu, who was still the boss of the studio yesterday, quickly stood up.

"I'm not the boss, I'm the vice president of strategy for the company," Pei Qianlong bowed to shake hands with him, and said, "But you can tell me any problems, the boss doesn't show up."

"I just want to ask, is there really 30,000?" Yang Baofu asked very directly.

He didn't learn anything in college, and he didn't get into the workplace after graduation. The small circle of game training is basically straightforward and bargaining for three or five dollars at every turn, so don't expect him to have any special performance.

"Mr. Li has given you 30,000 yuan, a little less. After all, it was the first one you recruited. If you were to be a deputy, 30,000 yuan is too little. As for how much, you can go back and discuss with the people from Mr. Chen."

Klester's salary is far higher than his peers.

Li Changwei asked for a deputy and gave him 30,000 yuan a month. He was so petty.

Mr. Chen refers to Chen Xiaoman. She is now the company's vice president of the company. It is impossible for her to care about such trivial matters. There will be people under her command responsible.

"What do you want me to do?!" Yang Baofu shook his fists.

He was late, and he took the initiative.

I never thought that he would still find a serious job in his life and pay such a high salary.

Chang Wei shouldn’t want to work hard and get to the rich woman.

"Have you known about our company?" Pei Qianlong asked.

"I have seen the information on the plane, but it's so awesome, but there are fewer information." But Yang Baofu at least knows Meow E-Music, Meow Yard Live, and Meow Zou.com.

He only found out today that these are all from one family.

And the Meow Meow Game, which he is going to join, is the new department of this cat farming factory.

"Just understand a little, that is to say, we... our company wants to make games, starting from scratch, and the three of us are all the staff in this project at present. I don't know much about the game industry, and Mr. Li is the same. What do you think?"

"You can be an agent." Yang Baofu blurted out: "For example, the ark:survivalevolved masterpiece released on June 2, 3a, people here call it Ark Survival Evolution. If you can get it, you will definitely have a place in the domestic game market."

What a mess, Pei Qianlong and Li Changwei were both confused.

Pei Qianlong shook his head and rejected: "No, we recently represented a fgo..."

"Fate series? Not bad, this is a good start, although it may not be as good as the Ark."

"You listen to me first!" This guy was so verbally talking. Pei Qianlong slapped the table and continued: "This game is operated by m station and has nothing to do with us. The boss doesn't like agent games, so the task given to us is to make China's own games, that is, give up on the agent path."

"Huaxia's own game..." Yang Baofu was a little confused.

"Money is not a problem. The company has prepared 1 billion for the game project." Pei Qianlong didn't have time to tell Li Changwei, the new general manager of the game business department.

"One billion!"

The two local buns sucked air in the air together, indirectly causing global warming.

"In this case, we have two choices," Yang Baofu, who came back to the scene, thought about it and gave two solutions: "One is to recruit people to form a team for development and design, and the other is to buy it directly when there is a suitable one in the market."

One billion.

He is so rich and generous, he can get whatever he wants.

What is the concept of one billion in game development?

Take Blizzard's Warcraft as an example.

"World of Warcraft" is undoubtedly a successful online game in the world so far, especially in China, and its status in online games has never changed for many years.

The game started to be developed at the end of 2000 and took about five years to build it, with an investment of about US$40 million, equivalent to about RMB 270 million.

But this is just the R&D expenses before the market. If it is included in the subsequent burning expedition, the Wrath of the Lich King, the Cataclysm and other expansion packs... Blizzard Dad spent about 700 million yuan.

Also available for production costs around 700 million is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Tomb Raider 9 spent 800 million.

It is not the most expensive either. Total War: Three Kingdoms is 100 million more expensive than it, reaching 900 million production and development costs.

Compared with "Final Fantasy 7 Core Crisis", these are all drizzling, because Final Fantasy spent 2 billion this time.

Well, it's not the most expensive either.

The most expensive one is "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", which cost 6 billion.

It's a long way to go back to the topic. It was developed from World of Warcraft for 40 million US dollars, even if it was fifteen years ago, the money was a little more valuable at that time.

It is enough to show that Klester's investment of this billion yuan is really not small.

Moreover, the game has just been established, and it has been smashed so much without even trying it, which makes Yang Baofu feel that he is doing the right thing.

Now he is only worried that he is not able to bear such a heavy responsibility.

"Two options," Pei Qianlong thought for a while and said, "R&D is necessary. However, there has been no results in three or five years. It is difficult to explain to President Lin. So, my idea is to acquire a game and learn and study it first, and then develop a new game while operating it. What do you think?"

Yang Baofu immediately looked at Pei Qianlong, the vice president of strategy, immediately looked at him with admiration.

Looking back, his two choices were indeed too naive.

"Then you still have to recruit people." Li Changwei was very worried.

It seems that we must ask the Human Resources Department to help.

"Acquiring a game studio, you can basically have everything you need, and then you can make up for it." Pei Qianlong once again suspected that Lin Dong had chosen the wrong person, and felt that Yang Baofu was more suitable for the general manager of the game business department than Li Changwei.
