Game Design: How did I become the richest man?

Chapter 134 Mr. Liu’s deep meaning
The corners of Liu Wei's mouth curled up slightly, like the faces of villain bosses enjoying the fruits of victory in anime novels, and he silently looked at everyone present.

What will you do?

After more than six months of hard work by company employees, Liu Wei has deeply understood one thing - academic qualifications do not determine a person's upper limit.

For example, Li Chongshan, Zhen Xing and others, although their education is just a college degree, but through their hard work, they have now become like gods of war.

Academic qualifications are only a stepping stone, the attitude of studying hard is the key factor.

Therefore, when Liu Wei recruits people this time, he does not intend to turn away those highly educated talents, but uses a more advanced method-written test answers.

These three written test answers will be assessed from various aspects including the professional level and inner needs of the candidates.

Only those who pass multiple assessments can join the ultimate company.

……

Returning to Zhao Bin, Zhao Bin glanced at the tangled crowd next to him and started tapping on the keyboard without any scruples.

Write down all your dissatisfaction with the company system.

"996.007 is simply a high-sounding excuse for capitalists to suck blood. Resolutely opposing the overtime system is the greatest support for socialism."

"Adjusting time off is a method used by PUA employees, which will make employees less motivated to work!"

"If a company has reached a stage where overtime is unreasonable, it is not far from bankruptcy."

After finishing writing, Zhao Bin sent the email directly to the person's mailbox and then left.

Of course...he didn't leave his contact number - to be honest, he still left his phone number, wasn't he just looking for scolding.

……

The next day, many senior executives sat in the conference room of Ultimate Company.

The first seat was empty, and even though Mr. Liu was absent, everyone still expressed their sincere respect.

The atmosphere in the conference room was harmonious. Zhang Li looked at the people arriving, cleared her throat, and took the lead in saying: "I'm calling everyone here today to announce something."

Everyone sat down immediately.

Zhang Li: "Recently, the company is recruiting people and everyone has seen it."

"Mr. Liu has something to do these days and cannot come to the company to take charge of this matter, so I leave the recruitment matter to everyone."

Everyone nodded in unison. Mr. Liu had many things to do every day, and he was still a college student. He definitely couldn't be in the company every day.

Wang Ning raised his hand and asked: "Secretary Zhang, but we have no experience in recruiting. What if the people we recruit do not meet Mr. Liu's expectations?"

Only then did everyone realize that the company didn't even have a dedicated HR person.

Although Ultimate Company has secretaries, accountants, and dedicated people responsible for overtime statistics and salary payment of employees, there is no HR.

To be more precise, except for the initial recruitment of employees by Ultimate Company, they basically entered the company through internal referrals.

Moreover, Liu Wei was not at ease. What if the HR found some "strong newcomers" for him?
Just these few unsightly resumes have become like this. If they are replaced by those with good-looking resumes, what will happen if the company finally takes off?
Therefore, the ultimate company has not had a dedicated person in charge of recruiting newcomers until today.

Looking at everyone's confused looks, Zhang Liying smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu has already made arrangements in advance."

As she spoke, Zhang Li opened her mailbox: "Here are the emails of all employees who have joined the company. We will filter them based on the content of the emails."

filter?
Everyone clicked on an email casually, and after reading it for a while, they looked at each other in confusion, with puzzled expressions on their faces, how to filter this.I need a resume but no resume, and I need work experience but no work experience. It’s just a long essay plus some screenshots of “Unfair Chess”.

Can this also be used as a filtering condition?

Is this a bit too childish?

Naturally, Zhen Xing proposed this idea, and Zhang Li said with a smile: "I didn't understand it at first, but after thinking hard last night, I finally figured it out. If this is the key to today's meeting - Mr. Liu's thoughts Figure out the meeting.”

Zhang Li picked out an experience of "Simulating Mountain" and put it on the big screen: "Mr. Liu's actions may seem illogical, but in fact they all have deep meaning. What we have to do is to understand Mr. Liu's deep meaning."

"Look, everyone, this is the first question in Mr. Liu's written examination."

"The standard answer given by Mr. Liu is... only if it is the same as the initial player evaluation, it will be considered passed, which is a negative evaluation."

Before anyone had time to ask questions, Zhang Li explained:

"On the surface, Liu is simply asking the designer about the feeling and improvement of "Mountain Simulator", but on a deeper level, he is testing the designer's position."

Wang Ning was stunned, and then said: "Because only by experiencing the game from the player's point of view, can you understand what is missing in this game. This is it."

"In this way, designers will eventually end up in opposition to players, and the ultimate company's philosophy is to create happiness with heart..."

Zhang Li nodded appreciatively: "Brother Wang is right, Mr. Liu must have meant this, otherwise there is no way to explain why Mr. Liu insisted on passing the 'negative review'."

Li Chongshan added from the side: "Mr. Liu may have another deeper meaning, such as asking the designer to tell the truth and not lie."

"After all, when I played this game for the first time, I felt like it was something. I'm not afraid of everyone laughing at it. I still can't understand this game."

Zhen Xing raised her head excitedly, wanting to say something, but finally closed her mouth again.

Zhang Li did not continue this topic. After all, "Simulation Mountain" has been divided into three groups on the Internet so far, one group is exaggerating, the other is derogatory, and the third group is selling melon seeds.

She switched to a second slide, which showed a screenshot from Unfair Chess.

"This is the second level of the written test. Mr. Liu's request is..." Speaking of this, Zhang Li was obviously stuck: "Mr. Liu said at the time that only players who successfully win [-] gold coins can send emails. , but yesterday Mr. Liu said that as long as you send screenshots to the mailbox, no matter whether you win these gold coins or not, you will be accepted."

After Zhang Li finished speaking, the office fell into silence, and everyone began to think about what Mr. Liu meant.

Why are the initial requirements inconsistent with the final admissions?
Zhen Xing suddenly asked: "Secretary Zhang, did Mr. Liu say anything at that time?"

"What did you say?" Zhang Li thought for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she spoke out Mr. Liu's remarks about "The designer's original intention is to make better games for players."

"That's right!" Zhen Xing nodded confidently.

"Mr. Liu's words not only prove that our guess just now is correct, but also show the theme of Mr. Liu's level - mentality."

mentality?
People were puzzled.

Zhen Xing smiled lightly, if anyone in this company understands Mr. Liu, it must be me.

I am in the same camp as Mr. Liu!

"Mr. Liu's words are, on the surface, a warning to designers not to forget that players are the foundation. What's more important is to select designers with strong mental receptiveness."

"Think about it, our game was either a setback at the beginning, or it was criticized a lot, or it had no sales for a long time. We were all anxious, but what happened later?"

"Mr. Liu always looks calm and at ease. The current facts tell us that it is useless to be anxious. Only by keeping a calm mind at all times can we solve the problem."
