Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 394 Cooperation
Like all his employees, Zhou Jing also worked overtime until eight o'clock in the evening. He had not had dinner yet, so he ate some of the things Gu Jia bought for him at noon in the office, including pure milk, nuts, chocolate, etc.

Knowing that Zhou Jing was too lazy to crack nuts himself, Gu Jia, who was also too lazy to crack nuts himself, cracked some for Zhou Jing and put them in a glass. There were almond kernels, macadamia nuts, peanuts, and pistachios.

Zhou Jing ate a piece of chocolate, some nuts, drank a box of milk, and then went to the office lobby to type code with the employees.

The family had left some food for him, so Zhou Jing got home around 8:30.

"Has Xiao Zhou eaten anything?"

Mother Gu asked with concern.

"I had some snacks."

Zhou Jing went to the bathroom and washed his hands.

Gu Jia went to the kitchen to cook for Zhou Jing. Knowing that Zhou Jing liked noodles, Gu's mother and Gu Jia often cooked noodles. Today they made shredded pork noodle soup.

"A can of beer or watermelon juice?"

Gu Jia came to the bathroom door and said.

"beer."

It was a hot summer day and Zhou Jing wanted to drink something cool.

Gu Jia took a can of beer from the refrigerator and put it on the table, then brought the side dishes to the table.

“Working is tiring, and starting your own business is even more tiring.”

Mother Gu looked at her daughter and son-in-law and said.

"That's right. At work, you just need to take care of the assigned tasks, but when starting a business, you have to worry about everything on your own."

Gu Jia is the boss's wife and she feels deeply about this. She has to worry about a lot of things every day. If the company is not profitable, the expenses will be more than one million yuan per month, which is worrying just thinking about it.

“Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Whether you succeed or not is up to luck.”

Zhou Jing didn't worry too much, everything was under his control, and he would not go bankrupt even if the company went bankrupt.

“Do whatever you can do, don’t push yourself too hard.”

Mother Gu nodded in agreement.

Gu Jia cooked noodles in the kitchen, and Zhou Jing went in to serve them. He brought the noodles to the table, opened the beer and took a sip. When he was young in his previous life, he liked to drink Coke, Sprite and other beverages. When he reached middle age, he began to refuse sweet drinks and instead preferred the taste of wine.

“How efficient are employees during overtime?”

Gu Jia looked at the boy with a smile. She couldn't drink alcohol now, or else she would have a couple of drinks with the boy.

"It's OK. In fact, the most important thing is the level and efficiency. If they can maintain a high level and high efficiency during normal working hours, the current project can be completed within the deadline without overtime. Of course, the sooner it is completed, the better."

Work habits and the ability to concentrate at work are very important.

When Zhou Jing writes novels, he can easily write six to seven thousand words in an hour. On the other hand, the company's management model is bloated. Employees are always busy after get off work, or they are asked to do weekly and monthly summaries after work. Formal management ideas that are unrelated to productivity will only reduce efficiency and make people resist and reject it from the bottom of their hearts. Having such negative emotions can easily affect their attention.

"The working environment and atmosphere of our company are very good now."

Gu Jia can feel every day at the company that the company is very busy, active and vibrant, and the employees are passionate about their work.

"The two most important things in managing a company are to get rid of bloated management mechanisms and to reflect value. Most people are happy to work overtime as long as they get paid."

"To avoid ineffective management, what I hated most when I was in Experimental Middle School was holding meetings for no reason. Things that could be explained in a few words had to be talked about endlessly, just to fill up time."

As a veteran in the workplace, Gu Jia hates ineffective management.

After dinner, Zhou Jing finished a can of beer, and ended a fulfilling day. Gu Jia turned on the computer and taught her mother to play Happy Elimination for a while. Zhou Jing took out the hard drive and installed the trial version of Happy Elimination with upgraded versions 1.2 and 1.3 on Gu Jia's computer.

“When will the official server be updated?”

Gu Jia opened the trial version. Version 1.3 had reached level , which was enough to play for a while.

"We will continue testing tomorrow and upgrade to 1.3 the day after tomorrow."

The game development team has been working very hard recently. Happy Elimination has been developed to version 1.7. After 1.7, it will directly enter version 2.0. This version 2.0 will add two new elements and unlock a new mode.

"I can't wait, and I'm even more looking forward to Rhythm Master. When will Rhythm Master be online?"

Gu Jia has completed version 1.2.

"Early July."

The development difficulty of Rhythm Master is much greater than that of Happy Elimination. To ensure that it is recognized by players as soon as it goes online, sufficient preparation must be made and the first version must be amazing enough.

"We have to wait another half a month."

After playing games for a while, Gu Jia turned off the computer, and the two took a shower and went back to the bedroom to rest.

The next day, Friday, after work, Qin Zhengyu went to discuss cooperation with the game company. Zhou Jing led the Happy Elimination development team to test versions 1.2 and 1.3. After Zhou Jing personally checked them, there were basically no problems. Then, together with the previous version, the trial version was upgraded for people within the company to play.

Everyone in the company seemed more excited on Friday. This was a longing for the weekend. Zhou Jing and Gu Jia hadn't had this feeling for a long time. The longing for the weekend was a kind of happiness that the boss could never experience.

Qin Zhengyu returned to the company and summarized the information of several game companies that wanted to cooperate with Zhou Jing, including Tencent. Zhou Jing did not think much about it and cooperated with Tencent, although Tencent made higher demands due to its large size and demanded a share of no less than 50%.

This is equivalent to Chuangzhi Technology Co., Ltd. being responsible for development and backend operations, but having to distribute half of the profits to partners who only provide the game platform.

This is the importance of the platform. No matter what, Zhou Jing’s bottom line is to keep the ownership of the game. If it becomes difficult to keep it in the future, it is not impossible to sell it at the right price.

If all goes well, Happy Elimination may appear in QQ Space after the agreement is completed next week.

Zhou Jing was not excited about this. It was not a big deal. There were many small games in QQ Space and QQ Games.

In short, with the platform and resources of a large company, Zhou Jing can accelerate game development.

There was no overtime on Friday, so after get off work in the afternoon, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took Gu's mother out for dinner. They went to Quanjude to eat roast duck. Gu's mother had been in BJ for several days and had not eaten authentic roast duck.

"Does the company work overtime on Friday?"

Mother Gu walked up the driveway.

"No, where do you want to go tomorrow, Mom?"

Gu Jia sat in the back seat to accompany her mother.

"There's nowhere I want to go. I'm too old to travel."

Gu's mother is still good at cooking and coaxing the children, but traveling is very tiring for her. She has been to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and other places before. At that time, her daughter was still young, and the couple took her daughter on trips. Now that she is old, it is her daughter who takes her on trips.

"We can go somewhere closer. I don't know when my dad will be able to come here on business."

Gu Jia was very worried about leaving her dad alone at home.

When they arrived at Quanjude, Zhou Jing first ordered a roast duck. In fact, his mother-in-law didn't like it. His father-in-law often brought some home when he was on business trips to BJ, and Zhou Jing and Gu Jia would also bring some home every time they went home.

On Saturday, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia took their mother to Tiananmen Square and spent the whole afternoon there. Considering that their mother was tired, they sent her home after dinner. In the evening, Zhou Jing and Gu Jia went to the movies to enjoy their weekend life.
