Chapter 438 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
Liu Kun's blood pressure suddenly rose, and he asked angrily, "Who is it?"

Hong Fei thought for a moment and said, "It's He Jinrui."

"He Jinrui." Liu Kun frowned. "Just him?"

"There are two or three more." Hong Fei thought about it and was a little uncertain, "I know these are all."

"I'll go talk to him." Liu Kun looked a little unhappy.

The game has been launched, the hard times are over, and now it’s time to divide the money, but some people in the R&D team actually want to leave.

Isn't this a slap in the face of Liu Kun?

If Mr. Qin knew about this, he would think that he was unable to manage the team and was unfair.

What will other employees who don’t know the truth think?
Someone resigned just as bonuses were about to be paid. Does the company want to get rid of them and deliberately force people to resign without paying bonuses?

Now that people’s morale has been shaken, what can we do next?
It’s no wonder that people think too much, as similar examples are not uncommon.

Liu Kun cannot let this happen. An experienced, combat-ready and cohesive R&D team is the most valuable asset.

If people’s morale is low and the team is difficult to lead, then the next project will be affected.

The losses far outweigh the bonuses.

Liu Kun immediately found He Jinrui and asked directly: "Are you dissatisfied with the bonus distribution plan?"

He Jinrui stammered, "I'm not dissatisfied."

Liu Kun was not willing to believe it. He knew from the other party's attitude that he was not telling the truth, so he said with a stern face: "There is no one else here, just tell me the truth. If you have any opinions, just raise them directly. If they are reasonable, we will adopt them."

"Do you feel that your share of the bonus is too little?"

He Jinrui remained silent, his eyes wandering.

Liu Kun said with a cold face: "Since you think there is no problem with the bonus distribution, then distribute it according to this standard."

"Director Liu!" He Jinrui said immediately, "I do have some opinions about the bonus distribution plan, but this is definitely not because of me personally."

"It doesn't matter if I get less personally. After all, I have learned a lot in the company, and these things have helped me a lot." He Jinrui said excitedly, "I am speaking up for other brothers! The bonus distribution plan doesn't just include less money for me. There are also many brothers who have worked hard and got the smallest share."

"Boss Qin said at the beginning that the more you work, the more you get. Now this bonus distribution plan completely deviates from Boss Qin's instructions!"

“There are bad guys among us!”

Liu Kun frowned and his expression became stern. "Just tell me who it is?"

"This..." He Jinrui hesitated and looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry, just tell me. I will report it directly to President Qin." Liu Kun said seriously, "Once verified, we will handle it fairly."

He Jinrui was silent for a moment, "Forget it, there's no point in saying this, the other party won't admit it anyway."

"Then why didn't you send an anonymous email before?" Liu Kun asked back, "Boss Qin has come to the R&D base many times to give you lessons before, and he has also emphasized this issue. The bonus distribution will definitely be fair."

"Justice is not the same as fairness." He Jinrui retorted, "We are insignificant and have little influence. We can't say anything if our credit is taken away by others. How can we stay in the team after we say something?"

"Then let's put it this way. If there is really a problem like what you said, we will transfer the person away and you can apply to join another team." Liu Kun looked at the other party and made a promise. "Our company will have many new projects in the future. You can go to any one you want."

"Is that so?" He Jinrui seemed to have made up his mind. "It's the chief planner Liu Yubin."

"Huh?!" Liu Kun frowned.

He suddenly found things a bit tricky because Liu Yubin was his man.

The two started working together when they were at Target Software, and Liu Yubin was the chief planner of "Qin Shang" at that time.

Later, I followed him to create Pixel and developed the "Sword and Sword Demon Sealing Record" and "Sword and Sword OL" projects.

After Qin Shaoyan acquired Pixel, they all joined Mr. Qin and worked for him together.

Originally, we wanted Liu Yubin to lead a project on his own, but the online game project here was special, so we seconded him to do the work.

Liu Yubin has always been diligent and managed to bring this online game project to fruition.

I didn't expect this situation to happen now.

Liu Kun did not go directly to find President Qin, but called the art director Hong Fei over and asked directly: "What do you think of the chief planner Liu Yubin?"

"He's fine." Hong Fei looked surprised. "What happened to him?"

"So what does he think of the planning team?" Liu Kun continued to ask.

"It's pretty good, he did a good job." Hong Fei was a little puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

"Then are there any conflicts or contradictions between him and He Jinrui?" Liu Kun asked.

"There is no conflict." Hong Fei recalled, "I did criticize He Jin a few times. As you know, this kind of situation is unavoidable at work. I criticize whoever makes a mistake, but I don't mean to target anyone specifically."

Liu Kun asked Fan Xiaoqian about it and she gave him a similar answer, saying there was no big problem.

So Liu Kun told this matter directly to Mr. Qin.

Qin Shaoyan didn't say anything after hearing this. He asked Liu Kun to call Liu Yubin over and asked directly, "What do you think of He Jinrui's usual performance?"

"It's okay, he is capable." Liu Yubin replied.

"Then do you think he has the ability to be the chief planner?" Qin Shaoyan suddenly asked, "I mean the ability to lead a project alone."

"No." Liu Yubin answered very straightforwardly this time, "He has the ability, but he is too superficial and a bit too ambitious. He needs to hone his skills for two years. He doesn't have the ability yet."

Qin Shaoyan asked again, "Does he have any outstanding advantages?"

"He knows some numerical knowledge and has been working hard to study it. He has made many numerical suggestions for the project." Liu Yubin thought for a while, "But the numerical planning was not adopted."

"What does the numerical planner say?" Qin Shaoyan was a little curious.

"The numerical planner felt that He Jinrui was just making decisions based on his own ideas and didn't even have a basis for the changes. When asked why he made the changes, he said he felt it was a better change this way," Liu Yubin replied.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and asked, "How much is He Jinrui's salary?"

"Six thousand dollars."

"Huh, that's quite a lot." Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.

"Because he knows a little about numbers, I promoted him to be a system planner, hoping to train him." Liu Yubin sighed.

Six thousand yuan is indeed a lot. When Guo Weiwei joined Xishanju in 04, Zou Tao, the then manager of Xishanju Studio, thought he was a returnee talent and gave him a high salary of four thousand five hundred yuan.

Qin Shaoyan sighed, "This is a talented person. I am a little reluctant to let him go."

Liu Kun was stunned for a moment, "Boss Qin, what did you say?"

"Nothing." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment, "Well, you guys do an anonymous questionnaire survey to find out what everyone thinks about the allocation plan and how they react to what He Jinrui said."

“We need to conduct thorough research at the grassroots level, go from the masses to the masses, and see what everyone is saying.”

“Wait until the questionnaire comes out.”

Liu Kun agreed. Although Liu Yubin felt that there was nothing wrong with him, he still felt a little nervous and didn't know how the people below would view him.

But the result was unexpected. Just after the questionnaire was distributed, He Jinrui and several planners suddenly asked to resign.

Liu Kun was a little confused. Didn’t they feel that the distribution was unfair and they were being persecuted? They were investigating and looking for evidence. Why did you resign?
And he was so determined to resign that he didn't even want the bonus.

You know, although their bonus quota is not too much, it is still more than 200,000 yuan a year.

Liu Kun found them one by one and talked to them, but they were determined to leave and refused to say anything more. They only asked to complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible.

Several people left at once, and Liu Kun had no choice but to report the situation truthfully to Qin Shaoyan.

Qin Shaoyan looked a little strange when he heard this, and just said lightly, "Several people left Zhou Yuan's operations department."

Liu Kun was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Is it also because of the bonus issue?"

"That's about right." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "Maybe the bonus is just an inducement."

"Well, you make the arrangements and I'll talk to these people in person."

"Is that not necessary?" Liu Kun was shocked. What kind of person is Mr. Qin? How dare they condescend to talk to these grassroots employees?

"I'll take care of the rest. Mr. Qin, you should deal with more important things."

"No." Qin Shaoyan insisted, "I'd better get in touch with the grassroots employees more. I have to find out why they leave and improve our work."

Liu Kun couldn't persuade Mr. Qin, so he called over all those who were about to resign.

When they heard that Mr. Qin wanted to meet them, they all felt a little uncomfortable. Although they had also attended Mr. Qin's classes and learned a lot, the gap between them and Mr. Qin was too big.

They are big bosses with a market value of billions, while they are just workers earning a few thousand yuan a month.

What's more, they are also students taught by President Qin, and they have a master-disciple relationship.

If President Qin personally came out to retain them, they would be embarrassed. If they quit, it would be too ungrateful, and if they didn't quit, it would be even more embarrassing to stay.

As soon as Qin Shaoyan walked into the conference room, these people stood up subconsciously and greeted him nervously: "Hello, President Qin."

"Don't be shy, everyone, sit down." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand with a smile, and found a seat to sit down.

After everyone else was seated, Qin Shaoyan glanced around and said, "I've heard about the situation. Do you insist on resigning?"

There was silence in the conference room, and no one in the audience spoke.

Only He Jinrui spoke up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, we have made the decision."

"No need to say sorry." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "We all know each other for a while, I still feel it's a pity, so I asked everyone to come over to try to keep us."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"How about this, I'll give you a raise, would you like to consider it?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Well, everyone has their own aspirations." Qin Shaoyan was a little regretful, "But without all of you, the Warring States project will be very different."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately moved. They didn't expect that they had such a high status in President Qin's mind.

Listen to this, President Qin used the phrase Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick to describe us.

"You are all elites trained by me. Be alert when you go out. Don't lose face!" Qin Shaoyan casually took out a stack of papers and said, "I have written a letter of recommendation for each of you. You can hand it in when you apply for a job at other companies. This will make it easier for you to find a job."

A person sitting in the corner suddenly stood up and said, "Boss Qin, I don't want to leave anymore."

"Well, okay, then you go out first." Qin Shaoyan smiled.

Seeing the door of the conference room close again, Qin Shaoyan looked around the venue again, "Anyone else wants to leave?"

There was still silence this time.

Qin Shaoyan said seriously: "Since you have decided to leave, I have nothing to say to you, so I will give you another lesson."

Everyone was immediately excited when they heard this. Mr. Qin was very busy in class, and no one knew what he would talk about next.

Qin Shaoyan pulled over a whiteboard and said, "What I want to talk about today is how to pass the buck at work."

"Ah?!" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"Don't underestimate the skill of passing the buck. It's a skill that requires a lot of skills." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "You know, online game development is a very complicated job that involves many factors. It's inevitable that you will encounter various problems during work. At this time, you have to learn how to pass the buck. This is an important life-saving skill in the workplace."

Yes, yes, yes, what Mr. Qin said is absolutely right, we should learn this.

Your work skills may not be good, but your ability to pass the buck must be good.

As long as you do it well, your mistake can become someone else's fault.

Qin Shaoyan started talking, "As we all know, online game development is a teamwork project. It not only involves the collaboration of planning, programming, art, and testing departments, but also may be interfered with by the boss and investors, and then there will be interference from the operations department."

“So everyone should keep in mind that obstruction in any department may lead to major mistakes, and always distinguish responsibilities.”

“Even if a project fails, you must remember that the program has too many bugs, the art quality is low, the operation is unfavorable, and the boss gives random instructions. In short, there is no problem with the planning.”

The more He Jinrui listened, the brighter his eyes became. He felt that President Qin had hit the nail on the head.

Mr. Qin is truly my confidant. Just a few words from him cured my mental exhaustion.

I used to feel guilty for making mistakes, but now I think it was all someone else’s fault, so why should I feel guilty?
After listening to President Qin talk about some techniques of shifting the blame, they regretted not bringing a recorder. Every word President Qin said was full of wisdom. Why didn't he teach such a valuable lesson earlier?

He Jinrui raised his hand and asked, "Boss Qin, if there are no problems with the programming, art, and operations, but the online game project is not performing well, what should we say?"

"This is even simpler. It's just that the market is not doing well." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "The market is always changing. The previous gust of wind has passed."

The market is failing...

This is such a wonderful thing to say!

If it succeeds, it’s all my credit. If it fails, it must be because of the market!

Qin Shaoyan looked at He Jinrui with a smile, "You are He Jinrui, right? I heard you know numbers?"

"I understand a little bit, a little bit." He Jinrui said quickly, "It's just some experience."

"You are a talented person, what a pity. I originally planned to train you to be the chief planner." Qin Shaoyan sighed with great regret, "If I asked you to develop an online game project, what would you do?"

He Jinrui was stunned at first, and his mind wavered about quitting, but he quickly calmed down.

"If I were to work on an online game project, I would make a reskinned version of "Warring States OL." He Jinrui replied immediately.

"Why?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"This is simple, convenient and efficient. The market has proven the success of the Warring States model. It is less risky for me to directly make a reskin version, and it can also shorten the research and development time." He Jinrui said confidently.

"This is indeed a good plan." Qin Shaoyan suddenly asked again, "Don't you want to make some changes? Don't you understand numerical values?"

"Of course I will make some changes." He Jinrui said quickly, "I will increase all damage, upgrade experience requirements and drops by thirty-three times."

Even though Qin Shaoyan had seen a lot of storms, he was stunned when he heard this, "Why raise it?"

"These numbers look better. In other online games, each monster gives 100 experience points, but ours gives 330 points directly." He Jinrui looked very confident.

Qin Shaoyan asked again, "What if the effect is not good?"

"Then adjust it back." He Jinrui said without hesitation, "This should be a very simple adjustment."

"Then why is it thirty-three times? And not something else?" Qin Shaoyan asked.

"Well, I feel that the multiple of thirty-three is quite appropriate." He Jinrui said somewhat guiltily.

"Okay, okay." Qin Shaoyan patted He Jinrui's shoulder with great satisfaction, "He is really my Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick. What a pity!"

"Why can't you just leave?"

He Jinrui didn't dare to look Qin Shaoyan in the eye and simply lowered his head.

Qin Shaoyan said seriously: "Is it possible that other companies are trying to recruit you?"

He Jinrui's heart skipped a beat, and he denied it in a panic, "No, no."

"It doesn't matter if there is." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "You are so outstanding that it is normal for someone to poach you. It is unreasonable if no one poaches you. I don't blame you."

"You can leave without worry. I will also help you get the non-compete agreement."

He Jinrui rarely showed a look of shame on his face, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin."

"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Shaoyan patted his shoulder, "I wish you all the best in other companies and hope you can get promoted step by step! Cheers!"

"Which company poached you?" Qin Shaoyan suddenly asked again.

Someone nearby couldn't help but say, "It's Giant Network."

"Oh, it's Giant Network. I heard that Shi Yuzhu is very generous. How much money did he give you?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.

“A 30% salary increase.”

"Only 30%." Qin Shaoyan frowned. "It's just that little. Do you look down on me, Qin Shaoyan? Tell them they have to double it, otherwise I won't let you go."

"This..." He Jinrui was very surprised, but hesitated again, "Is this okay?"

"Of course!" Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "I think if your salary is less than 10,000, it would be unworthy of your talent!"

"Well, I'll give you the title of chief planner. You can talk to Giant and you won't leave unless they let you lead the project."

Qin Shaoyan picked up a pen and wrote a new recommendation letter on the spot. "I showed it to them directly, and they just gave me a 30% salary increase and sent me off. Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

He Jinrui's hands were shaking when he received the letter of recommendation. Mr. Qin was so nice that he didn't want to leave.

However, the conditions offered by Giant were too tempting. Not only were there high bonuses, but there were also option rewards. If the company went public, he would become rich overnight.

It's much better than being a small planner here.

My talent cannot be buried here. Mr. Qin recognizes me, and I would be sorry if I don't show my talents.
