This game is awesome

Director Xu next to him kept smiling and said, "I do have a say in this regard."

"Many people believe that Fanxing's success is due to President Gu's ability to find untapped blue ocean markets, and that she is a genius investor. For example, Fanxing's first works Victoria and Battlefield relied heavily on this."

"But that's not the case. Ms. Gu doesn't have any special abilities, and she's not familiar with many places. Just like the release of Baldur's Gate, it was actually a very risky move."

"When I first proposed developing a CRPG, my target was old domestic IPs such as Journey to the West or mature foreign IPs such as the Northern Icefield series. DND's attempt was really risky. This was actually a wrong move by Mr. Gu."

"But what's really amazing about Ms. Gu is her ability to adapt to changing circumstances."

Xu Qiu Sheng paused and drank some oolong tea to moisten his throat.

But Qi Weiwei's appetite was completely whetted, and her heart was tickled. She asked curiously, "What do you mean by the ability to adapt to changing circumstances?"

Xu Qiu Sheng smiled.

"We calculated that the pre-sale volume of Baldur's Gate is 349 million copies. The EA crowdfunding sales six months ago are only 62 copies so far. You may not have any idea of ​​this number. Among the Gods, which won the annual award in 32 years, the pre-sale sales were only 95 copies."

As the development director of Among the Gods and Baldur's Gate, Xu Qiusheng is very authoritative in this regard.

Qi Weiwei was immediately shocked and blurted out, "So many?"

"Yes, that's indeed the number. Before May, our estimate for the final sales of the game was less than 5 million copies. We were able to achieve this result thanks to Mr. Gu's bet on Yusu AR and his attention to Citi's recent game disappearance case."

"An adventurer's manual for AR devices, and Mr. Gu's averting Annan's disappearance, can be said to have laid the foundation for the success of Baldur's Gate. Of the more than three million pre-sales, North America accounts for two-thirds."

Qi Weiwei couldn't believe it and quickly wrote down several key points that Xu Qiu Sheng said.

These contents are much more useful than Li Xiaomeng’s nonsense!

These are the secrets of successful companies.

Xu Qiusheng slowly waited for Qi Weiwei to finish writing down what she said, and then added, "Actually, what Director Li said is right. The smooth external situation is due to General Manager Gu's ability to adapt to changes, but the harmonious and united atmosphere inside is actually not due to the ability to make money."

Xu Qiusheng smiled and said, "It's not accurate to say that it's about money. I personally think it's a kind of noble morality that is people-oriented and a more sophisticated management concept."

People-oriented noble ethics and brilliant management concepts?

Qi Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is going to be a big deal!

This is what she was waiting for.

Qi Weiwei leaned forward slightly, holding the pen, showing an attitude of listening attentively.

"As for the traditional management model, for example, when I was in Gulang, Gulang had a very strict promotion and relegation system. In this system, doing things is very restrictive, and developers have to consider the opinions of management. Moreover, individuals are also atomized. The so-called team is actually a group assigned to you by the management system. Everyone only needs to complete the tasks assigned by the system. There is little communication, and various information between each other is not transparent."

"This model has its advantages, but the costs are also obvious. Because of the interference of management, when I was developing Among the Gods, I changed three main planners in one month. Employee job-hopping is also very common. New employees are not familiar with the business, which also causes the game development to often get stuck somewhere."

"Not to mention the fact that salaries are not transparent and public. I think most people have experienced this." When it came to sensitive issues, Xu Qiu Sheng naturally changed the subject.

It’s really hard to say in this regard.

Easy to anger the public.

Xu Qiu Sheng came here to share his experience, not to mock Fanxing.

"Some companies, faced with traditional models, choose more efficient methods and start to do optimization. But Ms. Gu is different. Her solution is simple, rough and effective. That is to let go and give money."

"Letting go is easy to understand. We now have three development departments, each of which is almost semi-independent. Except for the first draft of the plan, which will be reviewed and revised by General Manager Gu, the rest is left to the development department to solve. There are no investors to urge progress, and no bosses to revise the project book."

"As for giving out money, let me put it this way. Fanxing's game pre-sale revenue plus 40% of the net profit from the first month's revenue are all dividend income for the developers."

"This involves Ms. Gu's people-oriented management philosophy. Sharing money is common, but it is rare to see people willing to pay money for not working overtime, with full social security, and an eight-hour workday. Many managers have a rather wrong view, which is to regard human resources as a quantifiable resource unit, but Ms. Gu does not think so. She once told me: People themselves are the biggest investment, investing money in employees is the biggest reproduction, losing money is making money, and sharing wealth with the people is development."

Qi Weiwei nodded in agreement, feeling deeply moved.

No wonder Mr. Gu was able to build a first-tier game manufacturer in just two years. His level of thinking is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The noble morality of people-oriented and the more sophisticated management concept...

A girl who is only 19 years old can actually have such insight...

It turns out that she is a special person and not a beautiful lady in the world!

Qi Weiwei stood up and shook hands with Xu Qiu Sheng.

"Thank you Director Xu for taking the time out of your busy schedule. You really helped me a lot this time."

Xu Qiusheng also stood up and said with a smile: "Although Mr. Gu is young, he has a broad mind. I am just trying to find my roots and seeing the whole world from a small part. I dare not say that I can help much."

Chapter 263 [After getting drunk, I didn’t know the sky was in the water]

The interview with Xu Qiu Sheng took a lot of time. It just ended and it’s already time for lunch.

Li Xiaomeng, the person in charge of receiving the interview team, immediately waved her hand, indicating that she would play the role of host and take Qi Weiwei and others to dinner.

Qi Weiwei naturally politely declined.

After all, Ren Fanxing has already given each person a "high temperature subsidy" of 5,000 yuan, and it would be a shame to take advantage of them.

Especially for a conscientious entrepreneur like Mr. Gu, she feels that it is a sin to take advantage of the profits.

But Li Xiaomeng said that she had already placed the order, so it would be a waste if she didn't go. Qi Weiwei then hesitated and followed Li Xiaomeng to the church restaurant.

Qi Weiwei had never heard of this restaurant.

Le'an City is not very big, and she has been to almost all the restaurants with high reviews in local reviews. In fact, the decorations are all pretty much the same. The more elegant ones are like coffee shops, and the more traditional ones are like tea houses...

But...

Qi Weiwei had never seen a building that looked like a church.

As soon as she entered the front hall, Qi Weiwei looked as if she had seen a ghost. The photographer and his slaves behind her also had rich facial expressions.

The photographer whispered, "This is a restaurant, right?"

Mule Horse: "I feel like this is a place I can't afford. Remember to give me some food later..."

"I can't afford it either!" The photographer was shocked. A dish in an ordinary high-end restaurant costing hundreds of dollars was enough to make him suffer for a month. Wouldn't a place like this be the end of him?

Oh, someone reimbursed me, that's fine...

They walked in the front hall very carefully, afraid of breaking anything.

Li Xiaomeng was also puzzled.

Didn’t Pei E hire any waiters?

Why hasn't any waiter come to serve us yet?

She had just taken a few steps when she suddenly heard the sound of staggering footsteps.

The photographer took a few steps back, held his breath, and looked at the chair with a somewhat subtle expression.

Li Xiaomeng subconsciously glanced at the chair, and her face suddenly froze.

Oh my god, why are there eyes, nose and mouth on the back of the chair?

And it moves!

On the back of the chair, the funny-looking sausage mouth moved and uttered, "Welcome!"

But Li Xiaomeng was speechless about the lips that occasionally looked out of place.

Can your holographic imager be used in a serious place...

Li Xiaomeng had known for a long time that the church restaurant had installed holographic imaging, but she didn't expect it to be so amazing...

Fortunately, this restaurant still has normal waiters.

First, a person came in and bowed continuously to the interview team, saying that our guidance was not good enough and hoped to be forgiven. Then he demonstrated to Li Xiaomeng and the others the correct way to open the restaurant.

When a dozen seats burst into laughter at the same time, the candles in the surrounding shrines were instantly lit, and several holographic elves in cool clothes helped them open the electronic menu - everyone couldn't help but complain.

If at the beginning they felt like Granny Liu who understood nothing when she entered the Grand View Garden, now there is no doubt that this has nothing to do with the level of their own vision!

Which restaurant plays like this?

...............

Several waitresses in suits came in one after another to serve Li Xiaomeng, Qi Weiwei and others.

Qi Weiwei and the interview team sat at a long table, looking at the knives, forks, chopsticks and spoons in their hands stiffly. These things felt very good to the touch, and they should be made of silver or silver-plated; the chopsticks felt like ivory - probably from mammoth.

Who owns this restaurant? I've never heard of it before. They must be really rich...

Under this luxurious decoration, Qi Weiwei no longer cared about the taste of the food. Her mind was full of messy thoughts like "this bite of mine costs 500 yuan".

The first thing served was an appetizer of sweet and sour fruit, followed by two servings of seafood soup as appetizers and a basket of five breads as the main dish.

Qi Weiwei feels that these things can feed 5,000 people...

She had no interest in drinking the soup, but her eyes were attracted by the decorations around her.

This decoration is really interesting.

First, there is the mural of primitive people kneeling and worshipping around an alien spaceship under the mosaic glass, followed by the faceless statue in the shrine on the wall with a faint golden glow, then the factory reliefs with chimneys and battlefield reliefs, and finally the floor under your feet, which becomes the tire marks left by trucks rolling over the land.

As a TV station's exclusive reporter, Qi Weiwei possesses excellent writing skills and creative imagination.

As a civil servant, Qi Weiwei also has insights into reading and comprehension of official documents.

Although these decorations look very strange, they do not appear out of place when put together, which is worth pondering.

Qi Weiwei feels that this may be trying to talk about the process of civilization development.

The most superstitious worship was in primitive society, then people entered the religious society, and then the industrial society where religious authority was also broken, and then to the ground, which is the modern society under their feet.

It has a heavy sense of history...

When Qi Weiwei saw the murals and reliefs, she could tell that the designer must be a veteran game player.

Many of the scenes here are directly taken from "Victoria", "Battlefield" and "The Stars".

But that’s all. The meaning is actually very simple and most people can understand it at a glance. There is nothing mysterious about it.

Qi Weiwei shook her head and planned to get some fruit to fill her stomach, but the moment she lowered her head to pick up the silver plate, she was suddenly stunned.

Why is there a picture on this plate?

There was indeed some kind of image on the silver plate. It wasn't a high-definition holographic projection, nor was it printed on it. It was more like...

Some kind of reflection?
