Chapter 500: Down to earth

As the studio officially opened, they also entered the interview stage. Although their studio already has two games, they are still a famous studio in China, and most of the people who come to interview are fresh graduates. These graduates do not intend to achieve some results or learn something, but just simply earn some extra money and get some work experience.

After all, their game is not particularly famous, but it doesn't matter whether Liu Huaxing resigns. It's better to say that it's right. They don't need to pay too much money to use each other, and they don't have to worry about when these people will resign in the future. Anyway, after the next game, these people will resign if they should be done, it doesn't matter.

Liu Huaxing participated in the interview with other partners. Liu Huaxing’s standards are still based on character and programming ability. These can be learned and improved slowly. However, if the program at hand is written halfway through his personal reasons and suddenly quit his job and destroys all the programs he wrote before he leaves, it will seriously slow down the speed of the studio.

So Liu Huaxing firmly opposed cooperating with those who were not good at thinking, and Qian Xiaofan had learned this lesson. Fortunately, he was quite accurate in his view of people, so after a round of screening, they basically determined all the internal members of the studio, eight programmers... were of course all men. They were led by Chen Ye, Liu Chang, Li Xuesong and Bai Renzong, and each led two people to be responsible for part of the game content programming.

The four artists had three girls and one boy, responsible for game modeling and illustration, plus the two name-scene members, a total of fourteen people were recruited, including Yang Xiaoxiao, Li Ying, Zhou Hong and Dong Yue, four members of the finance department and seven partners, and twenty-five people in the entire studio were slightly more than expected, but the office could accommodate them.

After all, the seven partners are not here anytime and anywhere. Every day, just two people come to supervise everyone's work. In the future, members of two operating departments will be recruited to be responsible for game operations. As for game music, just outsource it to other music studios. It is not necessary to create originals. You can just change the existing music to an instrument and adapt it.

Therefore, on May 10th, on the first day of the studio's official work, Liu Huaxing and seven partners came to the studio, looked at all the staff, and prepared to briefly explain to everyone.

"I won't tell you dreams, ambitions, those pyramid scheme-style brainwashing ideas, what we gather here today is just a simple benefit." Liu Huaxing said bluntly, "Since that's the case, I hope we can get what we each want in the best way. You give me a game, and I'll give you work experience and salary..."

As he said that, Liu Huaxing shrugged: "Of course I know that our salary may not be much, but from another perspective." Liu Huaxing looked around the studio and smiled: "At least our working environment is pretty good, right? And what I can guarantee is that there is no compulsory free overtime work, and the employee benefits are perfect, but the introduction is not included."

A burst of laughter sounded at the scene, and Liu Huaxing continued: "Everyone is young, and it is more convenient to communicate. You don't need to be too reserved. If you have any questions, negotiate in time. That's it. I hope you can work happily in this place."

There was a sparse applause, and then Liu Huaxing added: "Tonight's party and celebrate the official opening of the studio, I will pay for it privately." The applause became enthusiastic at that time.

The work on the first day was relatively simple. Basically, it was to gather all members and introduce his game plan and his expectations for the game to everyone. Because it was a mobile game, it was not difficult to achieve the expected effect of Liu Huaxing, but there were some problems, that is, the performance of the mobile phone.

At present, Apple phones are only stuck in Apple 5, and the performance gap is still relatively large from the future, which is more obvious in domestic mobile phones. The popularity of mobile games depends on whether the mobile phone can drive this game.

This requires that the game optimization must be done well enough, which is a challenge for programmers.

A well-optimized game can greatly reduce the capacity of the game and reduce the performance requirements for running, but this depends entirely on the programming of the game. It needs to be continuously improved and simplified to calculate the method, thereby reducing the capacity of the game and speeding up the calculation method. Especially in terms of optimization, it is particularly important. A well-optimized game can reduce the running configuration by several levels.

This is also the reason why Liu Huaxing recruited two more programmers. On the one hand, it was that each of Chen Ye and the others could cooperate with two people, and on the other hand, it was because more people were more efficient to do it.

By the time the game is made, the performance of the phone should be improved, but it is still not enough to make the game popular. So there is a very critical problem here: the best time for the game to be released.

In terms of mobile phone performance, it is most suitable to release this game three or four years later. At that time, the performance of the mobile phone was rapidly improved, and even domestic phones worth more than 1,000 yuan could reach the performance of Apple 6. At that time, most mobile phones could run this game. Before that, it could only be released or run as a computer game, but this would have another problem.

If it is for computer games, then the picture quality and engine of their game are not excellent in contemporary games. How can they compete with other games? It can only rely on the playability of the game and the style of the game.

Fortunately, in order to avoid the game being harmonious due to bloody violence and other reasons, Liu Huaxing had decided to change the game to a Q-print style similar to the fifth personality, which can make up for the shortcomings of the lack of exquisite graphics and engines.

And they can use this game to run on the computer to accumulate a certain amount of popularity and popularity, and wait for the mobile version to be released in a year to perfectly solve all problems.

Of course, the best way is to sell the copyright of the game to other large companies after the game is made, so that they will have nothing to do. Those large companies have rich financial resources and can invest the game in mobile apps when they think it is appropriate. Liu Huaxing explained these to the people in his studio, and today's day has passed.

It was almost time to get off work. Liu Huaxing invited everyone to dinner and party as he said before, and welcomed the newcomers.

But Liu Huaxing didn't choose a particularly high-end place, just an ordinary barbecue restaurant. About twenty people gathered at the table in the studio, and everyone spoke freely.

Most of the questions for the studio staff are why their partners are so young.

At this time, Liu Huaxing could proudly tell them that he came step by step.

Liu Huaxing has always disliked making people around him feel that getting rich can be made overnight by buying lottery tickets. Many people think that they can do it when they see others winning lottery tickets, buying stocks, and investing in others. Everyone only sees those who buy stocks get rich overnight, but they don’t notice that more people have lost their money because of stocks. This is the so-called “survivor bias”.

So now Liu Huaxing can tell everyone in the studio how they started from scratch from the beginning. A group of people worked together to create their first "CSGO" DLC based on their interests and hobbies, and became popular online, and then sold the game plan. With that money, they raised the second group of people to create the second game and then earned more.

He can tell them that making money is down-to-earth and accumulation bit by bit, rather than taking shortcuts.

"Now the sales of "World of Tomorrow" have exceeded one million." Liu Huaxing smiled proudly, "If this game includes DLC, the current total profit has reached more than 30 million, and I think it has been a great success for us."

"Oh, it's a pity that we didn't have much vision at the beginning, so we transferred the copyright of the game for temporary benefits." Zhang Chengfei sighed and said to the team members in front of him, "So you must have a bit of vision. If I gave up on temporary benefits, I would be able to take a longer-term view, now I can get more than four times more money. People, if you want to make money, you must have vision."

"Fortunately I turned back in time." Liu Huaxing teased.

Wang Zhao immediately echoed: "It's really timely to look back! Do you still remember Qian Xiaofan? Since he left our studio, I heard that he also started looking for a job, but because of his high-mindedness, he has not found a suitable one. As a result, he spent all his money and his girlfriend broke up with him. Now he even sold his car for more than 200,000 yuan."

"I heard that, too, this matter is quite a big deal." Chen Ye nodded and said, "That guy had a bad reputation at school, and the cheating incident on his girlfriend behind his back was exposed several times. So later, when he had no money, he was dumped by his girlfriend. To be precise, he was dumped by his girlfriend and then he was dumped again."

"Wow, so exciting?" Yang Xiaoxiao was excited at that time. After all, she was a girl and her gossip nature was hard to change.

"Yes." Chen Ye sighed, "I heard that his girlfriend and another man went to a hotel and were caught by him. Then he questioned his girlfriend in person, and his girlfriend simply dumped him. I think it should be a kind of revenge."

Zhou Hong murmured in a low voice: "It must have been intentional. He used to cheat, so his girlfriend must have a grudge."

"This is also considered retribution." Li Xuesong sneered, "A man should know how much he weighs. Besides, one million is not a lot. A house is only one million these days. As for making him float like that? He has too little experience and has no knowledge."

Everyone was eating and chatting, because it was either a student or a car, so everyone didn't drink and left after dinner.

"Are you just driving this car?" Chen Ye looked at Liu Huaxing's Dongfeng Fengshen and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? I'm not driving much." Liu Huaxing said disapprovingly.

"You have earned more than 10 million, right? It's better to buy a better car." Li Xuesong replied, "After all, he is also the founder of our studio. When you go out to meet and chat with others in the future, will you feel a little embarrassed to drive this car..."

"I will take a transportation vehicle worth hundreds of millions at that time." Liu Huaxing joked, and then blinked slyly, "The subway."

After saying that, Liu Huaxing took Yang Xiaoxiao into the car. Yang Xiaoxiao fastened her seat belt and smiled: "I'm a little nervous. I'll officially go to the studio to work tomorrow..."

"You are still students, I don't force you to work in the studio." Liu Huaxing touched her head and said, "Just do your part well, record the flow of funds, and pay five insurances and one fund to employees."

"But it's okay. Anyway, I'm going to be a junior in more than a month. The courses will become very few, so it's normal for us to go out for internships." Yang Xiaoxiao came over and kissed him in the face. Now the others were driving away.

Liu Huaxing followed them in a car, but was thinking about what Chen Ye and the others said. Indeed, as the founder of the studio, it seems that it is not appropriate to use this car worth 70,000 to 80,000 to discuss business with others. He doesn't care, but when it comes to the image of the studio, he thinks that maybe he should pay attention. If people cannot change society, they have to adapt to this society.

He is not short of money now. The current sales of "World of Tomorrow" are still increasing, reaching more than 1.2 million sets, and the revenue from the game is constantly pouring into Zhang Hu. Liu Huaxing can get more than half of the profit, so his bank account should be close to 20 million. Anyway, the money has been being recorded, so he has not seen how much it is.

With 20 million, it feels reasonable to buy a better car. This Dongfeng can be given to relatives in my hometown. However, it is not necessary to buy it yet. After all, the game has not been made yet and there is no point in negotiating with others. The car depreciates very quickly, and it is not too late to buy a luxury car worth millions after they have finished the game.

After returning home, as soon as Liu Huaxing opened the door, Orange immediately rushed over and whispered around them.

"Oh, okay, okay, I brought you meat." Yang Xiaoxiao leaned over and touched the orange's head and smiled.

Every time they threw oranges and dogs out for dinner, Yang Xiaoxiao would pack the leftover meat and bring them back for oranges to eat, which was a kind of comfort so that it would not be depressed by being locked up at home alone. So oranges also developed the habit of coming over to have fun with him, and then followed Yang Xiaoxiao happily to wait for the meat.

"Mama's dog..." Liu Huaxing shook his head and sighed.

"Hmm? Can children keep urging me to eat?" Yang Xiaoxiao frowned as she looked at the orange that kept urging her with her nose, "No! Yes! What should I do if I want to eat? Tell my mother."

Orange sniffed, then took two steps back and sat down. Yang Xiaoxiao smiled with satisfaction: "Yeah! So good!"

After saying that, Yang Xiaoxiao rinsed the meat in the packed box in water, washed out all the seasonings on it, and then put it in the orange dog basin. Because dogs do not need to consume salt, eating salt for a long time will lead to kidney failure.

"It's really good." Yang Xiaoxiao squatted on the side to watch it eat and smiled while reaching out to touch the orange's neck. The orange did not protect the food and did not retreat. It knew that Yang Xiaoxiao would not hurt it.

"My babies are all very well-behaved." Liu Huaxing touched Yang Xiaoxiao's head and smiled, "I'll go take a shower first?"

"Then you throw the changed clothes into the washing machine later? My underwear should be washed separately." Yang Xiaoxiao reminded.

"I'll help you wash it." Liu Huaxing said with a smile, but just after he took the change of clothes, a phone call came to his cell phone. The name of the phone was "Director Wang", which is the director of the TV series Wang Haicheng. At that time, Liu Huaxing knew that this bath could not be taken.
