Chapter 96
Three days later, in front of the terminal of Capital International Airport, at [-]:[-] pm...

Zhang Lexing walked back and forth anxiously outside the passenger exit. Today is the day for the development team to return home. According to the time on the ticket, someone should have come out by now, but there has been no news of the plane landing.During this period, Chu Jing went to the information desk no less than ten times, but the staff would only keep saying, "Sorry, the flight is delayed due to the weather. If there is any further news, we will issue a notice...", but there was no response. How could Zhang Lexing feel at ease with this accurate news.After reading too many reports of air crashes, I can't help thinking about that.

Gently patted his head, Zhang Lexing tried to get rid of those messy thoughts in his head, at this time Chu Jing came over and said: "Lexing, just now the people at the information desk said that there is news of the plane, and it is expected to land in about 10 minutes It's gone", Zhang Lexing finally let go of his heart.

After waiting for another half an hour, Zhang Lexing finally saw the figures of the development team in the stream of people coming out of the passenger exit, and his heart was completely relieved this time.The first one to come out was not Zhan Jun, but Mike Ronald, who was a bit chubby. Seeing Zhang Lexing who came to pick him up, he seemed very excited, dragging his poor suitcase, in a similar way He ran towards Zhang Lexing at a speed that didn't match his figure, and his voice floated over from a long distance: "Aha, boss, I finally see you. We all miss you very much for more than a month... ..." followed closely behind him were Zhan Jun, Zhao Yuanhuan, Zhong Guoqiang and others, and the other two foreigners, Ken Silverman and John Fermax, dragged at the end. Zhang Lexing counted quietly, a total of 20 people , plus Xiao Donghai who came back early, there are not many of them.

The long-distance flight made everyone a little tired. Of course, Mike, an active guy, was excluded. After more than ten hours of flying, he still had the energy to run so fast. He forgot to show his American enthusiasm to Xu Qian, Chu Jing and other female employees, and he didn't know who he was thinking about when he first came out.

"Welcome home!" Seeing that everyone was here, Zhang Lexing greeted everyone in both Chinese and English: "Everyone, get on the bus first. You must be tired after flying for more than ten hours. Let's go back to the dormitory and have a rest."

"Please note, the car is here, please follow me." Chu Jing clapped her hands, then made a gesture to signal everyone to follow, and then walked to a bus in the parking lot.

Zhang Lexing had also thought about how so many people would go back. If he used a taxi, he would probably need at least six taxis. With the addition of a Mercedes-Benz driving the way, it felt a bit ostentatious. Thanks to Chu Jingyou’s method, he didn’t know where to get such a taxi. The bus can hold more than 30 people, so that Zhang Lexing even saves a Mercedes-Benz.

Everyone got on the bus, put their luggage away, and each found a seat to sit down. Zhang Lexing picked a seat near the front, and Ma Guanghai sat next to him. The bus that Chu Jing borrowed had a driver, so Ma Guanghai didn't need to be lucky. Bitter.After sitting down for a while, Zhang Lexing felt something was wrong behind him, and when he looked back, it was Mike, Ken and John.

Seeing Zhang Lexing turn around, Mike glanced at the other two, and said pitifully, "Boss, did you promise us before that you would take us to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Army after coming to China? Time can..."

Looking at the expectant expressions of the three, Zhang Lexing couldn't help being a little funny. These three guys are still thinking about this matter, but it's not easy to come to China from a long distance, and it's not easy to disappoint them too much.

So Zhang Lexing got up and stood in the aisle, first clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "Today is Thursday, considering that it is very hard for everyone to come from afar, I will give you a day tomorrow to tidy up your dormitory, and you can clean up your dormitory according to your own needs." You can buy something according to your preferences. The following Saturday and Sunday are two days off, and you can arrange it freely. In order to welcome everyone, the company plans to organize a two-day self-guided tour of BJ, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other famous attractions. Those who are interested can go to the Minister of Chu This is registered."

Hearing Zhang Lexing's words, cheers erupted immediately in the carriage, and even Zhan Jun and others who seemed exhausted just now jumped up for joy.After speaking in Chinese, Zhang Lexing explained to the trio of foreigners in English. Hearing that they could visit the famous Great Wall and the Forbidden City, the three of them immediately burst into joy and expressed their thanks again and again. Mike was still excited and wanted to express his gratitude with a hug. If Ma Guanghai hadn't stopped him, Zhang Lexing probably would have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the foreigner trio.

The bus continued to drive towards Madian South Village on the North Third Ring Road. Zhang Lexing came to sit next to Chu Jing. Before the bus arrived, he told Chu Jing to contact the travel agency to find a tour guide, because Zhang Lexing was actually a temporary idea just now. , don't hurry up and don't break your promise when the time comes.

The car drove into the gate of Madian South Village Community and stopped, and drove along the road in the community until it stopped at Building 14.After getting out of the car, everyone in the development team was very curious about the environment of the community, especially the trio of foreigners.When picking up the airport, Xu Qian and Shen Guokang from the administrative department didn't go. They waited in the community directly. Seeing everyone came, they began to issue room keys to everyone according to the previous distribution plan.

After setting up the development team, a reception banquet was naturally indispensable in the evening. The place was chosen at BJ's famous Quanjude, which opened the eyes of the three foreigners.

After a day's rest, the BJ two-day self-guided tour group of Creative Workshop set off.On the first day, I went to Badaling and visited the Great Wall for a day. Many people became heroes because of this. On the second day, I went to Tiananmen, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace. After two days, everyone not only saw the beautiful scenery of BJ, but also tasted a lot. BJ's famous snacks, the trio of foreigners are happy every day from ear to ear.In fact, Zhang Lexing has already visited these places. If it is not for the purpose of enhancing friendship with the employees, there is no need to follow along to join in the fun.

After playing, the working day came again. Monday was the first day of work for the development team. The number of people in the office reached nearly 30 people. The office area of ​​more than 400 square meters seemed a little crowded. As a result, the company’s first A plenary meeting had to be held temporarily in the meeting room of the building.

Today, Chu Jing presided over the meeting. Seeing that everyone was here, Zhang Lexing made a gesture to her, indicating that she could start.

Chu Jing nodded, took out a notepad and looked at it and said: "The main topic of our meeting today is the company's recent work arrangements. Since the new office area on the 8th floor has not been renovated, everyone can only stay on the 7th floor for the time being. There is basically enough space for working in the office. As for the development computers, due to the space, I am afraid that they cannot be displayed. Considering this special situation, let’s make some arrangements for the work in the future.

According to the discussion of the administrative department, and reported to the company leadership for approval.The company's recent work arrangements are as follows:

1. Tomorrow, 29 sets of computers for development will be in place. Due to the space factor, only ten sets can be placed in the office. The rest can only be installed in the staff dormitory temporarily, and other auxiliary equipment will be gradually put in place.In this case, the development department can arrange the work location by itself, and the work tasks will be arranged later.

2. The Administration Department and the Finance Department will continue to work in the offices on the 7th floor. The recent work of the Administration Department is mainly the recruitment of personnel and the decoration of the new office area on the 8th floor. The Finance Department is mainly to manage the use of funds.

The basic situation is like this, if you have any ideas, welcome to speak freely. "

The trio of foreigners is very honest today. The unfamiliar Chinese makes them feel like they are listening to heavenly scriptures. Fortunately, Xu Qian's English level is not bad, and he helped the three of them translate in time. up.

After hearing what Chu Jing said, Zhan Jun stood up and said, "It doesn't matter where the workplace is, but the equipment must be equipped as soon as possible, otherwise everyone will be unable to do things. In addition, when can the company's development funds be applied for?" , it would be best if you could tell us, so that we can arrange development projects better.”

Zhao Yuanhuan also stood up and said, "Also, if you need our assistance during the recruitment process, I hope you can notify us in advance, so that we can make personnel adjustments."

"I read some information, and now our company is not very easy to recruit in China. Although programmers, artists, and music can find some professionals, but they have no experience in game development, they may not be suitable for our company. It is even more difficult to find planners. There are no talents in this field in China. Although there are some game design personnel in Shanghai and Shenzhen, they are in our brother companies or affiliated companies after all. We are too familiar It’s not easy to start with, and they don’t have work experience on the PC platform, so it’s not suitable.” Chu Jing said while flipping through the materials.

"Indeed, there is a severe shortage of talents in this field in China at present." Zhang Lexing nodded and said, "It's better to find programmers, and it is difficult to find suitable ones for other majors."

"Well." Chu Jing flipped through the notepad in her hand and said: "So our company can only recruit new people for training. Although it is slow, the talents cultivated in this way may be more suitable for our company. We can take specific actions in the newspaper There are two ways to publish recruitment notices on the Internet and through the talent exchange service center, but this requires arranging training for new employees, and those who are qualified for training can only be selected from the development department of the company."

"We're not trying to shirk," Zhan Jun said. "However, regarding employee training, I suggest that the company should set up a dedicated training department to handle it, otherwise it will have a great impact on the development progress of the project."

"Yes, once we start working on the project, we will definitely be overwhelmed, and I'm afraid we won't have the energy to take care of the training." Zhao Yuanhuan agreed.

"I can understand your thoughts. After the company gets on the right track in the future, there will definitely be a dedicated training department in charge. However, the company is still in its infancy. If you only rely on the twenty or so people in future projects, you will definitely not be able to keep busy. , so the training of the first batch of new employees can only rely on you. But you can rest assured that the training period will not be too long, basically two or three months, let them master some basic conditions, so that You won’t make trouble when your subordinates are working. The company’s development funds have already been in place, but the company’s main task in the past two or three months is personnel recruitment and training, so I won’t give you specific development tasks for the time being. I hope you can do your best Support the recruitment work of the administrative department, and do a good job in the subsequent training, the company's future development strength depends entirely on you!" Zhang Lexing said.

Zhang Lexing explained to Chu Jing again: "This recruitment should not only consider developers, but also recruit a few people who understand marketing. After all, what you make has to be sold in the future."

Chu Jing nodded and wrote a few words in her notebook.

……

After discussion, it was finally decided to implement Chu Jing's plan.Chu Jing is responsible for contacting the newspaper office and the talent exchange service center, publishing the recruitment advertisement in the newspaper, and agreeing on the date of on-site recruitment with the talent exchange service center.If someone came to the company for an interview, Zhan Jun would be responsible for the review, and Zhao Yuanhuan would be in charge of on-site recruitment. As for the resumes of non-developers, the administrative department would be in charge.

After the meeting, Chu Jing led a group of people to get busy, some contacted the newspaper office, and some contacted the talent exchange service center.Chu Jing's ability to handle affairs is still very strong. Three days later, some newspapers began to publish recruitment advertisements for creative workshops, and the advertisements were quite distinctive.The advertisement borrowed the embroidered portraits of the characters of the Three Kingdoms and the map of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty as the background, and wrote on it: "Chen Shou wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Luo Guanzhong performed "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Do you also have a dream of the Three Kingdoms? Join the creative workshop, Create your own Three Kingdoms world!" It is very eye-catching.

The matter of contacting the talent exchange service center has also taken shape. There will be a talent exchange meeting this Sunday. The venue is at the Labor People's Cultural Palace. It is said that many companies have signed up to participate. It just so happens that Rising Sun Software also participated. Coincidentally, it is a creative workshop The booth is next to it, maybe because they are all counted as software companies.

Time came to Sunday in a blink of an eye. Maybe it was because the advertisement was only released. No one came to apply for the job in these two days, and it was even less likely that someone would come to the door on the rest day.With nothing else to do, Zhang Lexing went to join in the fun with Chu Jing and Zhan Jun, who went to the Labor People's Cultural Palace to set up a stall to recruit, Xu Qian from the Administration Department, Zhou Jianbo and Cheng Lin from the Development Department, and A driver hired by Ma Guanghai and Chu Jing temporarily, a group of eight people, drove two cars, and rushed towards the Working People's Cultural Palace.
