Chapter 180 Changes
It seems that only by furthering feelings with Liu An adds a lot of highlights to Su Ming's life.
In terms of career, Su Ming and others encountered the first real turning point since graduation.
The conversation was almost going on one by one, and Su Ming was the first person to be called into the program team by Qi Yunwei.
Perhaps other departments will have many polite preludes, but Qi Yunwei is simple and straightforward: "The negotiations with the project IP operator and the platform are not optimistic. PC games were originally planning to harvest a wave of traffic and quick money, but now they are dead at the source and continue to rescue them. The operators in the future are unwilling to give resources."
Su Ming was in a very good mood and was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Then..."
"The PC game project has now entered the lowest cost operation period, and the platform will not give too much additional resources." Qi Yunwei looked at him and said seriously, "In exchange, the IP operator has also changed the original contract. I hope we will turn it into web games and mobile games, so the original team has to make a cut."
Su Ming understood, and after buying the copyright, he had to squeeze it out. Now the popularity is too high. Maybe in a few months, web games and mobile games will not be affected again, and maybe they can bring another PC game.
The bosses probably thought so, and they had already negotiated some operating resource conditions.
However, this also means one thing. It is not done when the project has been successful, which means that the company's financial situation is very difficult. We can only use this last-minute method to see if we have a chance to make a comeback.
Qi Yunwei paid attention to Su Ming's expression and said, "I hope you will go to the mobile game team to make the main course. In terms of treatment, in addition to the current ones, there will be a project research and development supervisor-level allowance."
“…what are the others?”
Qi Yunwei was silent for a moment and said, "Now you must go into the team lightly and refine the team. I can tell you in advance that this IP itself still has great potential now. This time, it is not a crime of war. Instead of continuing to bet on the new version, it is better to operate it at a low intensity first and spend this period of time at the original pace. Mobile games and web games are much lighter, and the platform will provide a lot of resources. I am very optimistic about you, so I have listed your name in the option subscription rights of the program department."
Su Ming looked at Qi Yunwei quietly, and he actually said that.
"This is a new strategy we have decided after a few days of discussion." Qi Yunwei's voice was calm, "When encountering this, it is a blessing and misfortune for the company, and we still have confidence. The data before the accident reflects the potential of our works, and you should seriously consider it."
"What a team is the mobile game project team?" Su Ming asked.
"Based on the existing results of PC game R&D, this team will be equipped with a total of 17 people, and it is planned to complete mobile game development within the year. In terms of technology, I will spend 70% of my time there." Qi Yunwei paused and said another number, telling Su Ming how much is the supervisor-level allowance during the R&D period, and when the turnover reaches that level after it goes online, options will be assigned.
The intensive participation of 17 people and Qi Yunwei means that there are not a few people in the program group.
In addition to the program problems caused by different platforms, there will also be a large number of repaints in art, and it is estimated that they will be mainly from the art department.
On the contrary, if the planning side is planning to get this done in the remaining half year, it is basically a subtraction of the gameplay on the terminal, and there will be no more new gameplay added.
According to the current situation in the company, it is possible that Shao Suyi will take charge of himself and lead one or two capable planning to be responsible for this work.
What Su Ming was still thinking was that the operation and maintenance team of the PC game maintained a low intensity, the development team of the web game itself did not need to be large, and there were only 17 mobile game project teams, plus the operation and maintenance team of the company's original project...
It seems that a group of people will be cut.
From the staff expenses that were laid off, some of the core members left behind. New recruits also have a probation period for several months, and can arrange a lot of work that is not difficult but depends on time...
Very cruel...
"I... can." Su Ming didn't say much.
Qi Yunwei finally smiled and said, "Okay, at 2 pm, the mobile game project team will hold a meeting. Please call me Zhao Xiaokai."
Su Ming nodded and stood up and went out.
Those who called first were probably all planned to stay.
After going out, he called Zhao Xiaokai, and he sat back to the work station.
Chen Yingshan and Xu Yifei and others didn't know the situation yet, and everything was as usual.
Su Ming looked at them and said it would be useless before their arrangements came out.
He turned on the computer and did not care about the work he had arranged before, but instead started to study the research and development issues of mobile games.
If I were myself at the beginning of the year, I would definitely not make a decision immediately and reply to Qi Yunwei, but I would have to ask my friends to discuss it together.
But now, this question has been thought about.
I was already done well, even if I was busy for a while, I would still stay in the company. I had a stable income and devoted myself to learning something. At the same time, I would play a small game with Liu An in my spare time.
There is no difference now, but it is better.
You can even discuss and learn with Qi Yunwei, and learn things directly related to mobile games.
The expected income will be a little more, and it sounds like he will be responsible for the daily management of the program team.
Time passed little by little, and as more and more people went to the offices of various departments, the atmosphere in the entire company was completely different.
Su Ming saw it, but today he was just right, the bosses cut the mess quickly.
The storm that had been brewing for a few weeks finally came out today.
Even those who decide to stay still feel a little confused and absent-minded.
Before Xu Yifei came out, Chen Yingshan asked: "How did you decide?"
"I'm going to the mobile game project department." Su Ming answered directly, "Where are you?"
Chen Yingshan was silent for a moment and said, "I stayed in the PC game project for operation and maintenance."
Su Ming looked at the direction of Qi Yunwei's office and murmured: "I don't know what the fat cat will be..."
The two of them didn't know what to talk about anymore, but they heard someone talking loudly.
"I really don't understand why you choose to stay. Do you have no idea about the intensity of the next overtime work? It's so important."
"I decided to take a month off first and have fun!"
"You don't know the importance of this project to the company. Now this decision means that you are going to fall, and staying to waste time..."
Su Ming saw that someone was packing things silently, and the people who made their opinions loudly did not have too many angry expressions.
He estimated that the company should also provide resignation compensation, rather than directly cutting off the *** person with a blunt knife.
I'm afraid this decision will not be easy for Li Shangdong and the others.
Su Ming remembered what Yu Jiaqi said about "decision".
After a while, Xu Yifei came back, and Su Ming and Chen Yingshan watched him together.
Xu Yifei was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Let's have dinner together at noon and contact us often in the future."
After saying that, he started to pack up his things.
Su Ming's heart trembled and asked, "What are the plans behind?"
Xu Yifei smiled and shook his head, said nothing, and continued to clean up.
He doesn't have many things to do, and when he is packed, it's already lunch time.
Zhao Xiaokai and Su Xiaoqian also arrived, and the five of them found a table in the small restaurant next to them.
"It's not bad. The company voluntarily fired, and at least he can get some money after resigning." Xu Yifei confirmed Su Ming's guess and did not look particularly depressed.
"Did you refuse... or did you ask me directly?" Zhao Xiaokai asked him.
Xu Yifei shook his head: "It's boring to do web games. To be honest, I admire the bosses a little. Although the company may be short of funds now, I don't want to go to web games, so I still deal with it as a dismissal. Of course, maybe it's just to calm your heart and let you know that the company is still a good company, but I just have to."
"Then next..." Chen Yingshan asked again.
"Okay, I have to take a good rest. I will submit my resume while resting." Xu Yifei said happily, "Don't unemployed people need to treat you, right?"
Su Ming patted his shoulder: "Contact often."
Xu Yifei smiled slightly again: "I guess you will be very busy next time. If you want to rest and relax, please look for me to turn a blind eye."
This is Xu Yifei's breakup rice, and Su Ming felt very uncomfortable.
He suddenly understood what Yu Jiaqi said again, why he hadn't started to make trouble on his own for a long time.
Even with Li Shangdong and his friends' qualifications and financial accumulation, starting a company that is already small in size, he was suddenly hurt by the inexplicable demonic wind and had to make this decision.
If you want to start a career, in addition to ability and resources, you also need good luck.
He took the initiative to buy the order, and when he came back, he said, "In a few days, I'll ask you for a late-night snack."
"...Don't you, then you're going to be fat again?" Xu Yifei was still joking, as if what happened was just a trivial matter.
Su Ming smiled and said, "You won't be fat if you eat a midnight snack."
After saying that, he paused: "Even a setback can't crush us."
"...I've started learning to pour chicken soup..." Xu Yifei complained, "Go back, I still have to go through the procedures, you'll have to have a meeting."
In the company, Su Ming looked at the office, which was solemn but not chaotic, and knew that there would be many programs today.
There will be a meeting to boost morale and explain strategies in the afternoon.
There will probably be team building activities for those who stay in the evening.
Starting from tomorrow, it will be a new chapter.
Some people stayed and gave it a try.
Some people left and looked for a new way.
As long as he is still an ordinary member, he will encounter such a situation sooner or later.
Even if he is no longer just an ordinary employee, but becomes a leader of a team, he still needs to face the ups and downs outside.
Before he walked to the conference room, he looked at Xu Yifei again.
"Old Xu."
"...Why is it so old..." Xu Yifei felt strange. Didn't he keep calling Fat Cat?
Su Ming smiled and said, "Let's take a few days off first, and I'll ask you for a date on the weekend."
Chapter completed!
