Post-2000 boss: You can be late up to seven days a week!

Chapter 60 Zhang Chen’s panic

Tengxiang Network.

Zhang Chen had already put on his backpack and left, but a message notification suddenly came from his phone.

Zhang Chen took out his phone and looked at the message interface. It showed the look of a friend, but it was a completely unfamiliar name.

"Liu Guanshan?"

He stopped and looked at the friend application in front of him, just about to refuse.

The other party sent another friend request, this time with a note.

[Hello, Zhang Chen, creator, I am Liu Guanshan from Cuttlefish Company, and I sincerely invite you and your team to join our company! 】

Zhang Chen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the news.

"Squid Company? Why haven't you heard of it?"

At this time, other employees who had packed their things walked behind him.

"Brother Shen, don't you know Cuttlefish Company? Three Kingdoms Killing is produced by their company, and it's very popular now!"

Zhang Chen turned around and looked at his colleagues behind him, with a strange look on his face.

"If you are asked to go to their company, will you go?"

The employee was also stunned when asked by Zhang Chen, and then immediately responded and nodded.

"Go! Definitely go! Why not go?"

"Mr. Cao's Cuttlefish Company probably has the best benefits and benefits in our game industry. There is no such thing as 35-year-old optimization. If I have this opportunity, I would rather give money and want to work there!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chen's expression became even weirder.

"So exaggerated?"

Do you have to go to work even if you are paid?He said this with disdain from the bottom of his heart.

But since I can get such evaluation from my colleagues.

Zhang Chen feels that although the welfare benefits are not as good as Tengxiang's, they shouldn't be too bad.

He simply agreed to Liu Guanshan's friend application, and the application was approved within half a second.

A message was sent over there.

"Hello, Creator Zhang Chen, our company is currently developing a hard science fiction game, and we sincerely invite you and your team to join us!"

Zhang Chen looked at the news in front of him and suddenly frowned and started thinking.

Although he has been the main creator of many games, he was transferred to the research and development team by Shen Xu a year ago.

Now he is not the main creator at all, and he does not have any team under him.

There are many game companies in the industry that directly poach the main creators because they value their mature teams.

Just poach them and form a new game studio.

So...if the other party values ​​this, I may let the other party down.

Zhang Mo silently tapped the screen of his phone.

[Sorry, my current position is not the chief creator, nor do I have any team. If your company needs a mature team, I am afraid I will disappoint you! 】

After about a minute or two, the other party sent a message.

[I already know the specifics. Our company plans to set up its own studio with about 40 to [-] people. We hope that you can be the main creator and you can recruit the staff yourself! 】

Zhang Chen was stunned when he looked at the message from Liu Guanshan opposite him.

Recruit personnel yourself?
Does this give yourself so much power?

You know, even as the main creator of the game, he has almost no say in the personnel appointments of the team.

Even to avoid danger.

Many game companies will also ask the main creator to recuse themselves.

After all, for a game company, although main creators are scarce, they are not impossible to find.This kind of team that can independently develop a game can't be found even if the lights are on.

Moreover, if it really becomes the main creator to recruit team members.

It has almost become a team of game creators, if there are any work changes in the future.

Once the main creator leaves, it is very likely to cause turmoil in the team.

Therefore, the main creator and the team are almost separated, and most of the games presented are sometimes incorrect.

It's just that because the entertainment industry in Jiuzhou is not very developed, there are almost a few game companies on the market that are trying to compete with each other and treat players like leeks.

This is also an important reason why a mere Three Kingdoms game can quickly occupy the market in such a short period of time.

Zhang Chen gradually recovered from the shock and continued to look down. Liu Guanshan also sent him a document.

Zhang Chen clicked on the file, and inside was the plan written by Liu Guanshan based on Cao Che's previous instructions.

However, he was stunned as soon as he clicked in.

"A story-based single-player game with a sci-fi direction?"

Zhang Chen stared at the plan in front of him in stunned silence.

Even though he has been working in the game industry for most of his life, he never expected that someone would think of making a game using such two unpopular themes? ? ?
There may be some hope for foreign studios, but it is almost impossible in China.

Especially now that most manufacturers are aware of the profitability of online and mobile games.

Almost all of them have switched to online games and mobile games. Now there are almost no companies willing to develop such time-consuming, labor-intensive, and unprofitable stand-alone games.

Not to mention this kind of hard science fiction that is extremely expensive.

Tengxiang is the only one in China who is very picky about scripts and art resources.

The problem is, now almost the entire R&D team has been laid off.

It shows that Shen Xu is probably planning to give up this path and join the arms of mobile games and the like.

As a result, Liu Guanshan and the others still insisted on rushing in. Isn't this obviously going to lose money?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhang Chen continued to look back.

Core gameplay: To be determined.

Zhang Mo silently slapped a "?" on his head.

Is this the most critical way of attracting players to be determined? ? ?
Zhang Chen subconsciously looked towards the planner.

Cao Che, Liu Guanshan.

Cao Che's name comes first, and Liu Guanshan's name comes last.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but look weird.

Could it be that these two people came up with this plan at the same time?

If you don’t have this core gameplay, wouldn’t it be as outrageous as asking you to build a car and then giving you a blank piece of paper?

The more Zhang Chen looked down, the darker his face became, and he even felt that the other party was here to amuse himself.

Performance script: None (Mr. Cao unexpectedly attaches great importance to this and hopes it will be deep and connotative.)
What the hell is this? ? ?
Zhang Chen could hardly restrain his inner urge to throw his phone.

I don’t even have this script, so why are you still requesting it? ? ?

If there was only one thing about the entire plan that made him happy.

That is a guaranteed budget of 100 million, although this budget is for making games.

But at least it can guarantee the survival of the team, so that the whole team will not be laid off after a year of R&D without producing results, like here.

Moreover, who doesn’t have some childhood dreams when entering the gaming industry?

Who would want to have a bunch of excuses hanging in their name and be scolded on the pillar of shame by gamers every day?
This 100 million budget is equivalent to a guarantee. Even if the effect is really unsatisfactory, it will not be much worse.

The only thing he has to think about now is, can such a perfunctory plan really recruit people?
