Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 384 The Second Game

[My QQ account was stolen. I just got it back and all my friends were deleted. I added you again.]

After receiving Yang Wenwen's text message, Zhou Jing went to the bathroom to reply.

Yang Wenwen actually remembered the security code, but it didn't matter. Zhou Jing not only deleted all of Yang Wenwen's friends, but also quit all groups. Based on Zhou Jing's understanding of Yang Wenwen, Yang Wenwen would not add back irrelevant people.

[You didn’t watch some random stuff and got your account hacked, did you? (grin)]

Through Yang Wenwen’s friend request, Zhou Jing sent a message.

Yang Wenwen:
【No (knock)】

[Is it because there are movies you downloaded before on your computer? ]

Zhou Jing: [Probably not, maybe you accidentally clicked on an ad while surfing the Internet]

Yang Wenwen: [Okay]

Zhou Jing: [Will it have any impact if all my friends are deleted]

Yang Wenwen: [It doesn’t matter. There are only a few people I’ve contacted. You’re probably in the company. Are you busy?]

Zhou Jing: [I’m very busy, so I won’t talk about it for now]

Yang Wenwen: [Yes, eat on time at noon]

Zhou Jing quit this QQ and despised himself in his heart, thinking that he was such a scumbag and was so unscrupulous.

Back in the office, everyone was busy. Programmers were typing code, the Human Resources Department and Public Administration were processing procedures for new employees joining the company, and in the private office, Gu Jia was making spreadsheets on the computer.

"Project report of Group A."

Gu Jia handed a report to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing took the report and checked it. He took a quick look at it and went to Group A to check it out. After the bug was resolved, Zhou Jing went to Group G to plan Rhythm Master.

Zhou Jing understands the web version of Rhythm Master as a simplified stand-alone mode of Xuanwu, and this is how he introduced it to the game team. It is easy for them to understand with this introduction. Each level is from slow to fast. It is called a Rhythm Master, but in fact it is more like black and white squares.

After explaining the gameplay and rules of the game to the team, Zhou Jing asked them to first create a music database, select songs, and arrange the difficulty of the songs, starting with the simplest pure music, such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Canon, Starry Night, Jasmine, Castle in the Sky, and Wedding in My Dreams, and then choose Beethoven, Liszt, etc.

"Mr. Zhou, this is a really good idea. It won't be any worse than Fun Elimination if it's done."

Said the programmer who participated in the development of Happy Elimination.

"I like piano music more, and recently I thought about whether I could use a computer keyboard instead of a piano keyboard to make a game."

Zhou Jing smiled and said.

"I like piano, too. After hearing Mr. Zhou's description, I can't wait to try it."

"Me too, it's fun."

“I particularly like Schumann’s Fantasy.”

For a while, everyone in the game team was full of energy, some were looking for music tracks, and some were planning the game.

“Rhythm Master 1.0 is planned to have 20 levels, all of which will be piano music. We plan to complete the development of 1.0 before July. 1.2 will include some songs.”

Zhou Jing officially launched the second mini-game project.

After assigning the tasks, Zhou Jing returned to the office.

"I envy your imagination. This game sounds more interesting than Match 3."

When Gu Jia heard about Zhou Jing's new game, she was also full of expectations. It was a great idea to fulfill the dreams of piano lovers through games.

"After that, I plan to set up a separate game studio and think of a name."

Zhou Jing is also full of hope for this game. The web version will be launched first, and the mobile version will be launched next year.

"Game studio." Gu Jia picked up the pen and thought, "How about Starlight Games?"

“Great, let’s design a logo based on this name.”

Zhou Jing was very satisfied with the name and originally asked Gu Jia casually, thinking that Gu Jia could not provide any good suggestions.

"I just thought of this after listening to a song. Have you heard of 'Starlight Amusement Park'?"

Gu Jia said with a smile.

"I've heard of it." Zhou Jing nodded. He had heard it on Liu Hanyu's phone.

Thinking of Liu Hanyu, Zhou Jing felt a little regretful. Because of the special relationship between the two families, Zhou Jing didn't dare to cheat on Liu Hanyu. If he had dared to do so, he would have to take responsibility to the end.

At noon, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia also ate the boxed lunches they bought at the company.

After buying the meal, everyone ate in the company. For a while, the office was filled with the smell of food. In the private office, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia shared the meal. Zhou Jing ordered stir-fried pork with green peppers, and Gu Jia ordered shredded pork with fish flavor.

"Boss Zhou and Vice Boss Gu also eat boxed lunches. They are working too hard."

"I used to have a misunderstanding about rich second-generations. Mr. Zhou has such good conditions and yet he works so hard."

"."

Zhou Jing never said that he was a rich second generation, but they all thought of Zhou Jing as a rich second generation. It was normal. Zhou Jing was so young and achieved such success. No one would believe him if he said he was not a rich second generation. Not even Zhou Jing would believe it.

“Is this dish as delicious as mine?”

Gu Jia picked up a piece of meat for the boy and smiled.

"No."

Zhou Jing is not picky about food at all. He eats just to fill his stomach. As long as it is clean and hygienic, he will not waste food even if it tastes a little unpalatable. Zhou Jing never wasted food the first time he drank BJ soy milk or the first time he ate West Lake vinegar fish.

“I think it tastes better than what I made.”

Gu Jia said as she ate a piece of shredded pork with fish flavor.

In fact, Zhou Jing also thinks the food in this restaurant is good.

On Gu Jia's computer, her mother sent her a QQ message, asking when the wedding photos would be developed, as she couldn't wait to put them up at home.

【More than half a month】

Gu Jia used her computer camera to take a photo of herself and Zhou Jing having dinner and sent it to her mother.

Mother Gu: [Are you very busy? Are you eating a box lunch at the company?]

Gu Jia: [Not too busy, I have a meeting at noon, so I don’t have enough time to eat outside]

Mother Gu: [It’s getting hot, you must take care of yourself, you guys eat first]

After midnight, everyone finished their meal. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the company lounge and asked everyone to gather.

"If you don't have a place to sit, please stand for a while. I won't talk for too long. First of all, welcome to the new people in the company today."

clap clap clap!
There were limited seats in the lounge and many people had no place to sit, so Zhou Jing also stood during the meeting.

"We held this meeting to discuss only two things. The first is corporate management. Our company has already begun to take shape. I don't like bloated management models, especially project teams. We cannot let project teams spend their time on formalities. So we need to simplify the management model and reject management that is not conducive to improving the efficiency of the project team."

“The second thing is for the project team to improve work efficiency”

After the applause died down, Zhou Jing continued speaking.

Zhou Jing made his speech short and handed it over to software engineer Wang Tao.

Wang Tao is the project director and is in charge of the project team. How to improve the work efficiency of the project team is also a question he has been thinking about.

It was already late May, and Wang Tao talked about the plan to start working overtime appropriately next month, so that everyone in the project team would think about the same question: how to improve work efficiency with less overtime.

Employees will not be asked to work overtime every day. Zhou Jing's plan is to first try out the five-plus-two model, which means that everyone will work overtime twice in five days of the week, two hours each time, and dinner and taxi fare after get off work will be reimbursed on the day of overtime.

There is no separate overtime pay. The compensation is based on the project that each person is responsible for. After the team completes the project on time, 5% of the profit will be extracted as a team bonus.

"This model is definitely more beneficial to everyone than fixed overtime pay. Let's do a rough calculation. If a team completes a $7 million project in a month, the 5% profit is considerable."

“The faster we finish and the better the quality of our work, the higher the profit of the project will be, and the greater the reward we will get.”

Wang Tao did ideological work on the project team members. Although overtime was commonplace in their previous companies, who would like to work overtime?

Zhou Jing and Wang Tao initially discussed giving 10 percent of the project's profits to the team. After careful calculation, they found that the ratio was a bit high as the company needed to invest a lot in research and development expenses, so they reduced it to 5 percent.

After learning about this overtime model, the people in the project team felt that it was indeed a good idea. If they could bring a profit of one million to the company in a month, they could share 50,000. 50,000 shared by less than ten people was indeed a considerable amount.

Of course, the specific profit of the project is related to the company's operating conditions.
