The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 152 New Game: Secret Realm Escape
Back to the previous few minutes, Xu Xing finished the interview with Lei Wenyan, and was basically satisfied with the results of today's interview.

For him, what is most urgently needed right now is not a great expert at the technical level, but an ordinary programmer who can safely implement his plan and write codes honestly.

The second thing that is relatively lacking is experienced veterans in managing and promoting projects. Such people generally have experienced in the position of programmers for many years, and have gradually accumulated talents with management and command capabilities.

Compared with the above two types of employees, that kind of technical expert is not the candidate that Tianshu Studio needs at this stage.

After all, a light-weight game like Fruit Assassin takes the gameplay as the core driving force, and the technical master can only play the icing on the cake at most, and there is no need to waste high salaries to hire at this stage.

So after interviewing for a morning and half an afternoon, Xu Xing had already ticked off almost half of the resumes of the interviewees.

He Sitong and Lei Wenyan who just came in ahead, as top students from prestigious universities, it is even more impossible to let them go.

But at this time, it depends on whether these people are willing to choose their company.

After all, Xu Xing would not be so naive, he really thought that if the offer was given, the person would come.

The only possibility that this group of people can come to my place to participate in the interview is that the interview time happens to be staggered with the interview and job fair time of other major companies.

Otherwise, in a small place like Tianshu Studio, most people would just ignore it.

Only those with a little vision and a sense of the market can get a glimpse of some possible future developments from Fruit Assassin, an overseas explosive game.

Among them, those who are more courageous may choose this kind of small company with potential to fight for the future.

For example, He Sitong, who came to the interview earlier, although his personality is relatively introverted, his thoughts are almost the same.

And Lei Wenyan, who came in later, was quite strange, and he really came here with the intention of making a good game.

But as long as this guy doesn't have to make games according to his own ideas, but just wants to make good games, Xu Xing has a lot of energy, and I'm afraid he will be exhausted.

The master students from Min University and Fu University have relatively solid foundations. If they can be recruited, they can be regarded as a viable force that can be expected.

Xu Xing sat behind the desk, watched Lei Wenyan walk out of the office, ticked Lei Wenyan's resume, and then stretched his body.

And when he picked up the resume that was pressed at the bottom, opened the first page, and his eyes fell on the name on it, his mind suddenly froze.

Ok?
Xu Yi?

Why do you still have a name for your uncle?
While dazed, Xu Xing suddenly felt a thump in his heart. Just as he was about to read other information on his resume, the door of the office was pushed open.

So he subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the door. After seeing the face of his uncle Xu Yi who walked in, his heart beat wildly!

"Xu Xing??!!"

"Fuck! Uncle?"

Oops!

The secret that he is about to become a billionaire seems to be exposed!

……

in the office.

At this moment, as the two stood and sat, each other was shocked and unbelievable.

Xu Xing never thought that Xu Yi, who was still working in a certain degree, would come to a small company like him for an interview on weekends.

Especially now that the company has just started, and he hasn't planned to let his family know the details for the time being. After all, he has a huge sum of money, so it's better to avoid the nagging from his parents as much as possible.

After he really makes this company famous and has a firm foothold in the industry, it will probably be the time for him to have a showdown with his family.

But who would have thought that it was such a coincidence, what the hell is it that my uncle came to apply for the job on his own initiative? !
Uncle, why don't you stay with your aunt at home on weekends, why go out for a stroll?

While Xu Xing was crazily complaining in his heart, his mind began to run rapidly, thinking about how to rationally explain that he turned out to be the owner of a game company with a revenue of tens of millions.

At the same time, Xu Yi, who had just walked into the office from the outside, was confused when he saw that the interviewer was actually his nephew.

You know, before he entered the door, he was still guessing who the boss of this company would be.

And the final possible situation is that a certain big factory has come out of a technical expert, or a relatively well-known game planner.

No matter how bad it is, it must at least be at the level of the master graduates of those two famous universities just now. If you are lucky, you can make a fruit assassin, which is reasonable.

But no matter how hard Xu Yi racked his brains to guess, he would never guess that Fruit Assassin, a casual mobile game that has become popular in North America, was actually created by his nephew who just entered freshman year!
Outrageous!

It's outrageous!

Novels dare not write like this!

And judging from the information that Xu Yi has learned and speculated so far, although the development cost of the Fruit Assassin game is only about [-] yuan, including the cost of marketing and publicity, it is at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If it was really a game made by Xu Xing, where did he get the start-up funds?
Don't tell him it's New Year's money.

Unbelievable!
It can't be that Xu Xing told his parents that he wanted to make a game, and his brother and sister-in-law waved their hands proudly, and handed over hundreds of thousands of dollars to his son who just finished the college entrance examination, right?

Xu Yi was shocked, and after slowly calming down, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

You know, although such a game looks simple to make, from planning to project approval, and then to the implementation stage and announcement stage, it doesn't look very simple, at least not a high school graduate can play it well.

Especially considering that Fruit Assassin was launched on August [-]th, and the development time was pushed forward by two months, that is to say, Xu Xing had already started thinking about this matter around June [-]th!

At that time, the results of the college entrance examination hadn't even come out yet!
Is this kid so magical?
"Cough cough..."

Xu Xing behind the desk didn't know how to face his uncle, and finally stood up, wanting to move a stool for his uncle.

But Xu Yi had calmed down for the time being, and waved to him to let him sit down. He took the chair behind the desk at the door, came to Xu Xing's desk, and sat down.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other for a long time, the atmosphere was weird and awkward.

After a few minutes, Xu Yi sighed, and asked quietly: "Fruit Assassin, you made it?"

At this point, there is actually nothing to hide, Xu Xing nodded helplessly, and admitted: "I did it."

"Tianshu Studio, was it established by you?"

"Yes."

"The Qunxing Company is also yours?"

"Correct."

Hearing this, Xu Yi had a toothache.

Although the matter had already been settled after entering the door, after thoroughly confirming the answer from Xu Xing's mouth, Xu Yi still felt a little bit astonished.

An unreal illusion shrouded his head, but the reality in front of him had to convince him.

After all, no matter how much Xu Xing played around, it was impossible to deceive him about this kind of matter.

But this is a game company that earns tens of millions of dollars a month just by relying on one mobile game!
Such a gold mine turned out to be the property of his nephew. Xu Yi sat on the chair, feeling so incredible no matter what he thought. He couldn't help leaning on the back of the chair, breathing in and patted his head to confirm that it wasn't his own. A dream.

"What?" Seeing that his uncle didn't continue to ask questions, Xu Xing couldn't help but asked helplessly, "Uncle, why did you come to a small company like mine for an interview?"

"Small company...hehe..." Hearing Xu Xing's words, Xu Yi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he touched his head and sighed infinitely, thinking that it's different to be a boss, and a casual sentence is an invisible pretense, "Mr. Xu, of course I came for the interview because I want to find a job with better pay."

Xu Xing: "..."

"Uncle, don't be like this, I feel uncomfortable when you call me Mr. Xu, can we be normal?" Xu Xing hurriedly laughed.

Xu Yi sighed, stood up and wandered around the office, looking here and there, to relieve the turmoil in his heart again, and to straighten out his thoughts by the way.

Xu Xing had no choice but to follow Xu Yi's figure with his eyes, and finally watched him sit back on the seat again, took out a cigarette, raised his head and asked, "Can you smoke here?"

"Yes, yes." Xu Xing didn't dare to refuse at this moment, he quickly got up and opened the window, and handed over an ashtray that he usually used to throw garbage.

After lighting a cigarette, Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, took a long puff, and finally turned his mind slowly.

When he exhaled the smoke from his mouth, he sighed again, pointed his finger on the table, and finally said: "There is no one behind you who wants to interview, right? Let's have a good chat, uncle and nephew?"

Seeing Xu Yi's sudden serious expression, Xu Xing's expression froze, and his mind calmed down. He nodded and said, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xing got up, took the other interview resumes except Xu Yi in his hand, came to the office door, opened the door and said to Peng Yuxuan outside: "Xiao Peng, we will talk for a long time, you should go outside first. These resumes are sorted out and left with a tick in the upper right corner."

"The salary and benefits are all marked on the above. After sorting it out, show it to Sister Yao from the finance department and ask her to send out the offer."

"Clean up the outside after finishing, and then go straight to get off work. The office will come tomorrow morning to clean up."

After listening to Xu Xing's instructions carefully, Peng Yuxuan quickly took the thick stack of resumes in his hand, nodded and said, "Understood, Mr. Xu."

After explaining the task, Xu Xing originally wanted to go back to the office, but he caught a glimpse of Yan Chijiu who was working in the corner, so he paused on his way back, thought for a while and said to the uncle in the room: "Uncle, let me go first. Go and tell me, you sit down for a while."

"Okay." Xu Yi sat on the chair in the office, his mood had basically calmed down, and he poured himself a glass of water and sipped it, "You go ahead, I'm free today."

It just so happened that Xu Yi also reorganized his thoughts, and later had a good discussion with Xu Xing to see how this kid managed to create such a game company with tens of millions in one summer vacation.

Seeing that Xu Yi's mood was relatively stable, Xu Xing was relieved.

He still knows uncle very well, and he is usually a very sensible and kind elder.

In his previous life, Xu Xing was always taken care of by his uncle's family. In terms of computers, Xu Xing has been influenced by Xu Yi since he was a child.

It can even be said that the relationship between Xu Xing and his father Xu Jian is that of a son and Lao Tzu purely by blood, but the relationship with Xu Yi is apart from uncle and nephew. On the contrary, because Xu Yi has often played with Xu Xing since he was a child, the relationship between the two of them is reversed. More like a father and son.

If Xu Jian was the person who came for the interview today, Xu Xing would probably be much more flustered right now.

But if it was Xu Yi, Xu Xing was shocked and worried for a moment at most. After Xu Yi's mood calmed down, Xu Xing also relaxed. He believed in his heart that his uncle would definitely stand by him. For the sake of his nephew.

After closing the office door, President Xu breathed out a foul breath, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

The door of the financial room on the side also opened at the right time. Yao Yuanyuan came out and saw Xu Xing, and raised her eyebrows immediately: "Yo, the interview is over?"

"Hehe." Xu Xing twitched the corners of his mouth quietly, and looked at Yao Yuanyuan with resentful eyes, "Why didn't you let me read the resume carefully before?"

"???" Yao Yuanyuan looked confused, and couldn't help complaining, "Who was in a hurry to go to the office with Jiujiu to live a two-person world that day, and just threw the resume here and said you don't need to read it?"

"And didn't I ask Xiao Peng to read it for you in advance?"

"Before I specifically asked him to briefly mention it to you before the interview. Didn't he tell you?"

Xu Xing choked for a moment, but he was speechless: "Uh..."

"So what's going on?" Yao Yuanyuan glanced at him, "Did something go wrong in the interview?"

"There's no big problem ahead." Xu Xing rubbed his forehead, "But at the end, this 45-year-old programmer named Xu Yi is my uncle... um...that's my father's younger brother."

Yao Yuanyuan: "...?"

"Forget it, it happened anyway, so I'll just mention it to you." Xu Xing waved his hand, and after talking to Yao Yuanyuan, he walked to Yan Chijiu's side and patted her on the shoulder.

"Huh?" Yan Chijiu was typing the code, and when she saw Xu Xing coming, she raised her face and asked, "The interview is over?"

"Theoretically speaking, it's over." Xu Xing shrugged his shoulders, reluctantly putting away the helplessness on his face, and glanced at Yan Chijiu's progress, "Can you handle it this weekend?"

"Well, it's already finishing." Yan Chijiu nodded seriously, "It should be able to enter the testing stage tomorrow."

"Okay, then you are busy first, don't come to the office for now." Xu Xing sighed, "I have to have a good talk with my uncle."

"Ah? Uncle?" Yan Chijiu was stunned when he heard this.

"Yeah." Xu Xing looked at the girl's startled cute expression, couldn't help reaching out and touching her head again, and explained, "The last person who came to the interview just now was my uncle, I didn't expect such a coincidence ..."

"Ah!" Yan Chijiu came to his senses at this moment, covering his mouth and screaming, "Just, just now he came to ask me something."

That uncle just now turned out to be Xu Xing's uncle? !
Yan Chijiu was a little panicked, and quickly recalled what happened just now, and after confirming that he was not too rude, he was slightly relieved.

Then she changed her mind, that uncle is Xu Xing's uncle, and Xu Niannian is Xu Xing's cousin, so isn't that uncle Xu Niannian's father?

Ah!
Doesn't sister Niannian also work in the studio?

And it seems that they don't know that the boss of the studio is Xu Xing...

But Yan Chijiu felt that the boss should have thought of this, so he didn't say much.

"In short, you should work here first. After I finish talking with my uncle, let's talk about the follow-up."

"Oh." Yan Chijiu nodded in response, feeling a little bit disappointed after Xu Xing's big warm hand on her head was withdrawn, "It's okay, I can do it alone."

"Well, if I chat with my uncle later, please ask for an extra boxed lunch later."

"Well, I see."

After talking to Yan Chijiu here, Xu Xing turned back to the financial room.

Yao Yuanyuan was taking over the recruitment list compiled by Peng Yuxuan, when she heard the door opening, she looked up to see Xu Xing, and couldn't help wondering: "Aren't you going to accompany your uncle?"

"I forgot to mention one thing just now." Xu Xing said to Yao Yuanyuan, "Since we made money from the game, it's time to give bonuses to some members."

"Oh? You won't be stingy this time?" Yao Yuanyuan teased.

Xu Xing gave her a white look, and then said: "Li Zhibin gave him a bonus of [-], you and Yu Youjia each have [-], Xu Niannian is [-], and Yan Chi is jealous of [-]."

"By the way, is there any cash in the company?"

"It's better to find gold as a bonus."

"Yes." Yao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "There are tens of thousands of dollars in cash."

"That's fine, let's put Li Zhibin's share first, and give it to him after the National Day. You can wrap the rest in red envelopes, and I will give it to him when the time comes."

"Will you give me my share?" Yao Yuanyuan laughed.

"It's a sense of ritual, how boring it is for you to take it directly."

Xu Xing ordered the things that he had to order after the interview, and after finishing, he finally walked out of the financial room, returned to the door of his office, and took a deep breath.

……

Near four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xing and Xu Yi's uncle and nephew sat opposite each other at the desk.

Xu Yi put a few sheets of white paper in front of him, held a pen in his hand, and tapped his fingers on the table from time to time, writing and drawing on the paper with the pen.

After finally sorting out his thoughts, Xu Yi finally looked up at Xu Xing and asked one by one, "When did you start making this game?"

"It's mid-June."

"What about the planning plan? That's when you started thinking about it?"

"That's not true." Xu Xing silently thought of a way to patch up his behavior, "I thought about it when I was bored in high school, and then I played with my mother's newly bought pineapple phone."

"At that time, my mother was cutting fruit, so I thought it might be interesting to implement this function on my mobile phone."

"But I just thought about it at the time. At that time, I was bored and self-taught programming in private. I was not too proficient, and I had to prepare for the college entrance examination, so I didn't think much about it."

Xu Yi took a pen and tapped on the paper, reluctantly accepted Xu Xing's setting, and then asked: "What is the division of labor among the six people in the original team?"

"Six people?" Xu Xing blinked, a little confused, "Uncle, where did you get this data?"

"Your staff told me."

"Uh..." Xu Xing thought for a while, and probably guessed that Yan Chijiu said it, and included Li Zhibin, Yao Yuanyuan, and artist Yu Youjia, so Xu Xing simply went down the slope and said, "Three Programmers, two artists, and one accountant."

Anyway, try to rationalize this matter a little bit in such innocuous details, so that uncle can accept it more easily.

Xu Xing hoped that his uncle could feel his talent in this area, but he couldn't go too far.

For example, it took a few days to complete the game planning plan, and there were almost no changes during the production process. Everything went straight to the final product effect. It is scary no matter how you think about it, and it does not conform to the law of the birth of a game at all.

"Then where did you get the money?" Xu Yi asked, "The salary expenditure, after two months without yourself, would be around [-], right?"

"Do you want so much?" Xu Xing blinked, and it was rare to teach his uncle Xu Yi a lesson, "In the beginning, there was actually only one artist, because of the college students, it only cost 1500, and then I found another artist in the second month The speed of advancement only cost 4500 yuan in total.”

"The other two programmers, one is a classmate I know, who worked for me for free, and is now a student at Peking University. The other has the most expensive salary, 3000 yuan per month, which means 6000 yuan in expenditure."

"The rest of the finances, the family is a rich second generation, and I was simply hired to help register the company. There was no salary at all for the first two months."

"So a salary of more than [-] yuan is enough."

Xu Yi: "..."

Unexpectedly, my nephew actually has the potential to be a vampire.

Can the labor force still go for nothing?
However, Xu Yi was relieved when he thought that many entrepreneurial teams also started to generate electricity for love.

But immediately he asked quickly: "What about the company's equity? Is the ownership of the studio and the game owned by you alone, or is it divided equally among the six of you?"

"It's all funded by me alone, so the company is also owned by me alone." Xu Xing said honestly.

"Hiss..." Xu Yi was really excited and envious when he heard this answer.

Just now when he heard Xu Xing say that the person in charge of the finances is a rich second generation, he thought that the funds were actually provided by this rich second generation. Xu Xing was only in charge of the game planner, and his heart skipped a bit.

Unexpectedly, the start-up capital of this studio was really provided by Xu Xing alone.

"Even if the salary is only [-] yuan, and there are other food expenses, office rent, water and electricity bills, etc., it must be [-] to [-] yuan, right?"

"Cough..." Xu Xing was a little embarrassed to be asked, and replied in a low voice, "The rich second generation's family opened an Internet cafe, and the private room upstairs was lent to the studio for two months free of charge, and the rent and utility bills were all free."

"And the two artists work outside by themselves, so they don't have to pay for food. The rich second generation and another programmer both solve the problem of eating at home. I only need to pay for the food for myself and the other programmer."

"So after two months, it's probably only three or four thousand, including the salary of about [-]."

The sluggishness in Xu Yi's eyes flashed past, looking at his nephew's eyes, he didn't know whether to praise him or show some other expression.

Should I say it or not, this prostitution and exploitation skills are really suitable for being a boss.

"Wait." Xu Yi complained in his heart, but it didn't prevent him from continuing to calculate and ask, "Even if the development cost is reduced to [-] by you, you don't have so much money yourself, do you?"

"Hey." Xu Xing scratched his head in embarrassment, "My mother gave it, about [-] yuan, and grandpa gave [-] yuan after the college entrance examination, counting the pocket money I usually saved, There can be more than [-] in total."

Xu Yi opened his eyes wide and asked, "Your mother knows you play games?"

"do not know."

"Then why did she give you so much [-] yuan?"

"You know her Taobao online store uncle? I recommended it at the beginning." Xu Xing said honestly, "At first, my mother didn't believe that this thing could make money, so I bet her that if I made money, I would Give me half of the profits in dividends."

"As a result, I made more than [-] yuan in June, and my mother didn't break her promise, so she gave me [-] yuan."

"Actually, I didn't intend to make a fuss about it during the summer vacation, but after I found out that online stores can make money, and I have a source of funds, I couldn't help but think about it."

After listening to Xu Xing's sharing about the early days of entrepreneurship, Xu Yi fell silent, digesting the information in his heart.

The text and graphics on the paper also became richer. Xu Yi looked at the information on it and tapped his fingers on the table.

From this point of view, the cost of game development is [-] yuan, if this part is deducted from [-] yuan, there will be [-] yuan left.

"So your game promotion costs only cost [-]?" Xu Yi asked curiously, "Are the bloggers on Laomei's Youtube so cheap?"

"That's not true." Xu Xing explained, "I signed a step-by-step contract with them that is settled according to the advertising effect, so I only need to pay a small deposit at the beginning. More than 300 bloggers spent a total of four The average deposit for each person is about [-] U.S. dollars.”

"Then you are really brave." Xu Yi took a breath, he did not expect Xu Xing to be so aggressive in this regard.

But judging from the results, this radical approach has brought about an almost perfect result.

Last month, Fruit Assassin earned more than [-] million yuan, and the follow-up fees that need to be paid to these two dozen bloggers are not even a fraction of more than [-] million yuan.

It can be said that it is a big profit.

Thinking of this, looking at the paper full of information I recorded, it completely analyzed the whole process of Xu Xing starting his business from scratch.

Every step is perfect, including these parts of the prostitute team members, which have become an important cornerstone for Fruit Assassin to ascend to the throne.

Xu Yi couldn't even pick out any obvious faults.

It's hard to imagine that Xu Xing managed all of these by himself.

But the facts are in front of you, you can't believe it or not.

However, after understanding this part of the initial stage of entrepreneurship and confirming that Xu Xing did not miss anything, Xu Yi's focus immediately shifted to another direction.

"Then what's your plan for the future?" Xu Yi asked, "Do you have an idea for a new game? The success of Fruit Assassin is difficult to replicate. You'd better have a mental preparation for the results of the new game, so that the gap will not be too big. lead to mental imbalance."

"Yes, yes." Xu Xing nodded, knowing exactly what his uncle was worried about.

Especially after facing this kind of sudden wealth, people are likely to have an unbalanced judgment on the amount of money.

If Xu Xing was just a normal young man, after suddenly facing such a huge success, he would probably fall into a state of blind self-confidence or even conceit.

Once the new game can't rake in money like Fruit Assassin, it may cause mental problems.

Others may find it strange that this guy has made so much money, yet he still doesn't know how to be content.

But it is difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. After experiencing it once a lot of time, the psychological threshold will suddenly rise.

If you can't have a strong mentality control ability, suddenly getting rich is often not a good thing.

Xu Yi has seen and heard various deeds in the Internet field over the years.

Under the tide of Internet gold rush for more than ten years, how many people have been ups and downs. Xu Yi has seen many people and things, so he will naturally worry about Xu Xing's current situation.

"This is the planning plan for the new game. Uncle, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can take a look."

Xu Xing took out a recently printed document from the drawer and handed it to Xu Yi.

After Xu Yi took it, he looked down at the planning title on the document, and there was a line of big characters written on it——

【Planning Plan for Escape from the Secret Realm】

　[Pujie Diary]: In the article, Saturday is the programmer interview, and the artist interview is on Sunday. Don't worry, my sister will only be late and will not be absent.
