Chapter 222

Qin Shaoyan was at best a little surprised when Chen Peng came to invite him to dinner.

The relationship between the two of them is quite good. From the ChinaJoy exhibition to the negotiation of overseas games, the two of them help each other.

After that, Chen Peng also reciprocated the favor and provided Qin Shaoyan with a lot of help within the rules.

For example, he applied for the National Online Game Project, helped Qin Shaoyan's game project participate in award selections, and applied for many honorary awards for him.

Although the reputation is greater than the reality, it can be regarded as serious.

Qin Shaoyan felt that Chen Peng was a good person and worth making friends with. The relationship between the two parties was much closer than ordinary friends, otherwise Chen Peng would not invite Qin Shaoyan to his home for dinner.

But Hao Zhiqiang's appointment with Qin Shaoyan made him a little unsure.

Hao Zhiqiang met Zhang Wanli through his relationship, and the two parties cooperated very harmoniously on the Global International Marathon event.

In the early stages of the project, the two parties ran around together, and the relationship was pretty good.

"I'm looking forward to it." Qin Shaoyan nodded and said teasingly, "Are you going to go on stage to do something for everyone?"

"..." Qin Shaoyan glared at Zhang Pingyi with a look of disdain on his face, "Those are only for Mr. Xiong Xiaoge's level. Do you want to listen to PPT at any level?"

Qin Shaoyan still hadn't figured it out until he arrived at the company.

Qin Shaoyan took a look. The menu was a combination of meat and vegetables, including fish, meat, and seafood. It looked very rich.

As soon as he walked in, Zhang Minyi stopped Qin Shaoyan and said, "Mr. Qin, you're here just in time. Come over here and let's discuss the program arrangements."

Director Hao suddenly asked Qin Shaoyan to dinner today, which made him murmur in his heart.

Zhang Pingyi thought for a while, "Would you like to give everyone some more Jingdong Mall discount coupons?"

"There were cross talk, songs, and dances. Everyone had a great time watching the show while eating."

So the lottery became an unspoken rule that everyone knew.

Hao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Then we have agreed that at noon on January 1nd, I will send you the dining address in advance."

"How can this be so embarrassing?" Hao Zhiqiang said quickly, "There is no reason for you to be the host. This meal was arranged by me, so I should arrange it. Mr. Qin, please tell me a time."

"Really?" Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised.

"Of course it's true." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Xiong Xiaoge gave us a lot of sponsorship this year, so we won't miss the money."

"Don't worry, I will go to the hotel tomorrow to look at the samples and try them myself before making a decision." Zhang Pingyi took out another piece of paper and said, "This is the program prepared for the annual meeting. They are all programs produced by the employees themselves."

"What show?!" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.

For example, an employee who has only been with the company for a few days wins the top prize, and a key veteran employee who has worked hard in the company for many years receives a consolation prize. How embarrassing would that be?

"Tell the hotel to forget about the seafood and replace it with other dishes so that the employees can eat enough." Qin Shaoyan warned, "Don't make it look fancy, but it's actually inedible."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "Our company will have an annual meeting on New Year's Day, probably on the 2nd."

"Combine the fixed prizes with the lottery. The lottery is a game, so there should be some winnings." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "In addition to the predetermined prizes, we also draw some good things for everyone's entertainment."

Qin Shaoyan took it and understood at a glance. This is the list of people and prizes scheduled to win.

"Forget it about the employees putting on a show. We have been busy for a year and still have to perform." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Just let Teacher Fan come on stage to perform drums and allegro. The rest can be hired from outside. It won't cost much. "

It's okay to have a meal with Chen Peng to connect with each other, but I'm not that familiar with Hao Zhiqiang, so this meal date is very strange.

As he thought about it, he asked the driver to drive him back to the company.

"Then you do what you want. Employees don't have to put on a show. Those who want to perform on stage sign up voluntarily, and others hire people from outside." Zhang Pingyi crossed out a few lines above, "Mr. Qin can't stand a show." ?"

Zhang Pingyi suddenly felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that Mr. Qin won't perform on stage."

However, Qin Shaoyan thought about it and refused, "Director Hao invited me to dinner, and I will definitely honor him. In this way, I know a place with good food, and I will be the host. How about it?"

If the old employees feel dissatisfied and resign after the new year, and the new employees get the big prize and leave after only a few days of work, and the company loses both people and money, then everyone will be unhappy.

"Don't just talk about me." Qin Shaoyan asked, "Why don't you come on stage?"

In fact, the reason for doing this is easy to understand. If the lottery is really random, there will be a lot of trouble.

"You can have a mobile phone, MP3/MP4, and a few computers. You can go directly to Brother Dong to get them."

"The annual meeting program." Zhang Pingyi came over with a piece of paper, "I booked a hotel. They specialize in various banquets. They gave me a menu, 198 per table."

Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone and began to think deeply. Hao Zhiqiang might not be looking for him just for food.

It's just that vegetables are a bit monotonous, which is normal. It's no different than in later generations with developed logistics. It's difficult to eat fresh vegetables in this era, and it's even more expensive than meat.

The annual meeting lottery is said to be a draw, but in fact many of the grand prizes are predetermined. This is also an unspoken rule of the annual meeting.

Zhang Pingyi thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Why don't you tell everyone about PPT? Just treat it as a language program."

After the project ended, Hao Zhiqiang and Qin Shaoyan did not have much contact.

Is this a normal year-end communication, or is it a dinner date?

"Of course I'm on stage." Zhang Pingyi said confidently, patting his chest, "I'm the first one at the opening."

Zhang Pingyi was too lazy to answer Qin Shaoyan's teasing, and took out another piece of paper, "This is the list of the annual meeting lottery. Come and take a look."

Qin Shaoyan was startled, "I'm tone-deaf, and I can't dance or play allegro. What can I perform?"

You can't tell an old employee that it's your bad luck, or you'll feel even more confused.

Qin Shaoyan coughed and said, "Forget it. It's not appropriate to give out the Sunshine Award. Let's just give it a red envelope and give each person two hundred yuan."

"What is the Sunshine Award?" Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Okay, it's better to give money."

"That's right, the emotional value must also be taken into consideration when setting up prizes." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Issuing hundreds of discount coupons is not as high in emotional value as giving money directly."

"Mr. Qin, you understand the value of emotions." Zhang Pingyi joked, "The employees' prizes have been arranged, but what about the executives' prizes?"

"It's simple. You and Senior Brother Chen will share an apartment." Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, "I will also give Teacher Fan an apartment and give him an ordinary car."

"Oh." Zhang Minyi was shocked at once, "Mr. Qin, you are really generous. You are giving away a house and a car." "What a big deal I am doing. The total of the RV and the car is less than one million." "Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Needless to say, you and Brother Chen, Fan Xiaoqian gave me 20 million US dollars just for helping me with that FPS."

"Does Shi Yuzhu, the boss of Giant Group, know that this is a big deal?"

"The one who sells brains and gold?"

"It has been replaced by melatonin." Qin Shaoyan gestured, "I heard a while ago that he poached Shanda's "Age of Heroes" team and spent 40 million."

"Not only that, the salaries of the Age of Heroes team members have reached the highest level in the industry, and the option share is also very high."

"In comparison, giving Teacher Fan a house and a car is nothing?"

Zhang Pingyi was stunned, "Where did you hear this?"

"The gaming industry is so big, news spreads quickly, and many secrets are not secrets at all." Qin Shaoyan casually said, "If we pay generously, we can better recruit talents."

"If I were stingy, how could Kou Hongfei's team be willing to switch jobs?"

"There are only two reasons why employees leave their jobs. One is that the money is not enough, and the other is that they are unhappy at work."

"I can't decide whether the employees can work well, but the money issue is still easy to solve."

Zhang Pingyi gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Mr. Qin, what you said is very insightful."

"We brothers should stop flattering each other." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and suddenly showed a serious expression, "Zhang Tianshi, do you have any ideas about your work arrangements after the year?"

Zhang Pingyi was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "I don't have any ideas, let's see how you arrange it."

For more than a year, since Qin Shaoyan went south to start his own business, Zhang Pingyi followed him around and did a lot of work.

From soliciting sponsorship to building a website bit by bit, then working on stand-alone games with Qin Shaoyan, and then starting working on Facebook in the United States.

Zhang Minyi has participated in many projects and can be said to be a brick that can be moved wherever it is needed.

Of course, Qin Shaoyan did not treat Zhang Pingyi badly in terms of money. He arranged shares for Zhang Pingyi in all money-making projects.

As long as the opportunity comes and the shares are cashed out, Zhang Pingyi's net worth will be on the Forbes list.

"Now Qvod.com has been handed over to Senior Brother Chen, and Mr. Fan is in charge of the game stall." Qin Shaoyan asked, "There is no suitable position for you yet. Why don't you wait a little longer? If there are new projects, you should hand it over to You bring it."

Zhang Pingyi thought for a while, "Where is the campus network? How about I go to the campus network? I originally built this myself."

"The campus network is fine, too." Qin Shaoyan pondered for a moment, "It's just the campus Internet cafe. I think the pool is too small. You can only go there to manage it temporarily."

"The pool on the campus network is called small?" Zhang Mingyi was very surprised, "Then what is considered big?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Follow me from now on, and I will take you to do big things."

Zhang Pingyi frowned, "Are you trying to hold back and lie to others again?"

"I'm a serious business person. What do you mean by lying? You and I agree on the matter of attracting investment." Qin Shaoyan argued for a few words.

Zhang Pingyi smiled and said nothing.

Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Minyi seriously, "Zhang Tianshi, if you were allowed to choose by yourself, what would you do?"

"Huh?" Zhang Pingyi thought for a while, "I want to make games."

"Ah?!" Qin Shaoyan was shocked. He never expected that Zhang Pingyi would say such a thing, "Why?! I don't think you are particularly interested in games?"

"Because we make money." Zhang Pingyi laughed, "The success of our campus network, including the success of Facebook, is all due to the "Plants vs. Zombies" we made."

"I made so much money from a small game. I was confused at the time. It was money that I would never be able to spend in several lifetimes."

"Although I have worked on so many projects with you, only games have the biggest impact on me, because they are the only ones that make money."

"Since then, I have felt that making games is quite interesting."

"It's just that now the website no longer needs games to make money, so I'm getting further and further away from games."

Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi and suddenly laughed, "When this part is over, I will continue to take you to play games."

Zhang Pingyi smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late. It's time for me to go back with my girlfriend to celebrate the festival."

After saying that, Zhang Pingyi waved his hand, turned around and left.

His girlfriend had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When she saw Zhang Pingyi coming out, she immediately pounced on him like a bird, and they walked out of the company hand in hand.

Qin Shaoyan, who was caught off guard and got a mouthful of dog food, snorted coldly, what's the big deal.

Qin Shaoyan inspected the company and found that the employees had already left work early and went home. Only a few single programmers in the company were still on duty.

Nothing happened anyway, Qin Shaoyan simply teamed up with the programmers who were left on duty to play a few CS games.

When he was having fun, Qin Shaoyan's cell phone rang again. He picked it up and found that it was Su Ran.

"Hello?" Qin Shaoyan held the phone between his face and shoulders while controlling the character to quickly buy weapons and ammunition, and then collectively RUSH B.

"Boss Qin, are you on holiday?" Su Ran asked excitedly, "Let's go out to play together in the evening?"

Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "It's winter, what is there to do at night?"

"I made an appointment with a few friends to have dinner together and set off fireworks in the evening. It's New Year's Eve." Su Ran asked with a smile, "You have been busy for a year, why don't we come over to play together?"

Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, and he had nothing to do at night anyway, so he might as well join in the fun with Su Ran.

"Then I'll come find you in a minute." Qin Shaoyan hurriedly hung up the phone, then controlled the character to rush out with a weapon, and was shot down at point B as soon as he showed his head.

After several narrow defeats against snipers, Qin Shaoyan felt that as an old man, he was no longer suitable for such a high-intensity competitive game.

So Qin Shaoyan decisively quit the game, said goodbye to several singles in the company, and turned to find Su Ran.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the streets were not as lively as before, and hurried pedestrians were eager to go home for the festival.

Qin Shaoyan gave the driver a day off in the afternoon. He stepped on the snow on the road and walked slowly to the door of the bank.

After a few minutes, Su Ran hurried out, with a smile on her delicate and fair face, and jumped to Qin Shaoyan's side, "Good evening, Boss Qin."
