Chapter 43: Building Momentum
The work system is eight hours a day, with two days off a week. However, because the computer room and the unit need to keep people in shifts, weekends are not necessarily off. If it is a holiday, overtime will be required, and the normal overtime pay standards will apply.
Although the salaries are not very high, they are covered by five social insurances and one housing fund. In addition, they also purchase a critical illness insurance, as well as additional transportation, food, and housing subsidies.
Bonuses will be given based on performance at the end of the year.
To be honest, this group of employees were quite worried that their company would go bankrupt. Before Wang Yi came back, they had discussed their concerns privately many times.
Now that business has started, we are relieved.
However, when Wang Yi released the concept map of "Minecraft", there was a commotion at the scene.
An older programmer raised his hand tremblingly.
"I think I've seen this before. It was a hot topic on Weibo for a while."
"Very good, you have professional sensitivity. I was the one who initiated that topic."
Wang Yi had an approving expression on his face.
"Boss, are you Master Yi?!"
Assistant Chen Qian couldn't help but scream out loud, her beautiful big eyes full of surprise.
"Yes, it's genuine. If you have paid attention to the official announcement of the Academy of Sciences, you should know my name."
The game company would originally be under Wang Yiming's name, so he would naturally not hide it from his employees. When the time came to promote the game, he would have to cooperate with them.
After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.
The matter of Master Yi was quite hot topic some time ago. You may not have paid special attention to it, but you have heard some news about the details.
It’s over. It looks like this great place for retirement may not last long!
No wonder the benefits are so good. This is the first company opened by a great mathematician. People there have good intentions and don’t know how dangerous the world is!
Wang Yi ignored the thoughts of his employees. All the low morale was swept away with the outstanding results.
"Those who have followed me know that I have released a game concept map. Yes, this is the game 'Minecraft' that our company needs to focus on promoting next..."
With Wang Yi's simple explanation, the employees gradually realized that things were not as they thought.
Although this game looks stupid and of low quality, gradually some younger employees discovered that it actually has something interesting!
It is difficult for people to understand the charm and playability of the game Minecraft simply by looking at the explanation.
But at least it can make them clear that this is definitely not a game for fun!
Thinking that the company still had a chance to save itself, the employees suddenly became motivated.
They started discussing some low-cost promotional methods.
"I have completed the cooperation with Penguin on two small games. Penguin should be launching them in the next two days. We can take advantage of this opportunity. I will also create hype online. What you need to do now is to play the games for me and record video materials."
Wang Yi assigned them a task to slack off at work.
They are going to make the first batch of game videos and release them through Bilibili first.
After all, even if the game quality is very good and there will be running water, it still needs running water to stimulate it.
They will be this batch of living water...
…
"Cheers~"
After Wang Yi came back, Ma Dong and Liu Xiaoke still came over to meet and have a meal together no matter how busy they were on the crew.
Even Ma Dong's little bastard drank two more cans of beer and fell into a deep sleep, which made Liu Xiaoke cover her mouth and laugh.
"Hehe, Brother Ma's alcohol tolerance is even worse than mine. I haven't practiced it before."
Liu Xiaoke's face turned red after drinking two cans of beer, and with the loose T-shirt, she looked very neighborly.
"It's okay for us to drink a little, but girls still have to be careful when they are out there. Sometimes they can't put down the wine glass once they pick it up."
Wang Yi glanced at Liu Xiaoke, whose face was flushed, and reminded her with a smile.
"Anna, apart from trying a little with my roommate in college, I only drank it last time when I was with you guys. Director Zhang Ming took good care of me for your sake. I dare not touch alcohol outside."
Liu Xiaoke stuck out her tongue. She was quite cautious in this regard. In fact, she herself wondered why she had such an inexplicable trust in the boy next door. Was she horny?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tilt her head and secretly glanced at Wang Yi a few times.
Hmm~
He's not that handsome.
Maybe I want to be a sister.
Then Liu Xiaoke suddenly burped and patted his chest.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on."
Hearing Liu Xiaoke suddenly say such inexplicable words and glancing at the outline taken by the other party, Wang Yi knew that she was almost there.
After that, he cleaned up the scene and sent her back to her room...
…
"Hey~, the boss is still a gentleman. If I drink a few more cans, I'm sure I can do it in front of that big guy~"
Wang Yi returned to the room to take a shower, but Lin Shiqin came down from upstairs and circled around Wang Yi, grinning evilly, not trying to avoid suspicion at all.
Wang Yi let the water droplets from the shower head slide over his marble-like well-proportioned muscles, and he was too lazy to pay attention to this peeping Tom who liked driving.
When it comes to serious girls, Wang Yi won’t be too proactive.
"By the way, Penguin just sent you an email. Two small games will be online tomorrow. You can promote them based on the situation. They are quite optimistic about Jump Jump and have given you a lot of volume, but it's all up to the boss if you want to sell them."
Lin Shiqin nodded her chin, as if she had thought of the important matter that needed to be dealt with.
"Don't worry, they will give you the quantity."
It is true that Jump Jump is obviously more classic, and Wang Yi also added a way of advertising, that is, the small box being stepped on can be replaced with the advertiser's brand, and there will be extra points for stepping on it.
But for the sake of gameplay, this is almost the limit of what Jump Jump can do.
There is no doubt that "羊了羊" is hard promotion. It will definitely not be as good in the long run, but the promotion effect in a short period of time will definitely be better and make money faster.
It looks as stupid as Melatonin, but many people can't help but try it, no matter how much they play with it. Even if they only try it once, they will be cut. It's just a matter of how much they are cut.
Anyway, many people still didn’t buy Melatonin, but many people really played this one…
But for now, I have to lead the way myself, so that when they see the results, they will naturally help promote it together...
…
"My groundbreaking game is about to be released, but I recently played a small game that was addictive. There were only two levels but I just couldn't pass them. It seems that mathematics is not omnipotent."
The next day, with the mini-game launched online, Wang Yi directly opened Weibo and started promoting the game.
A picture of the first level was also released.
Recently, there have been various attacks on Wang Yi's "Five Years of Game Production" on the Internet.
All kinds of silly pictures and expressions popped up.
And Wang Yi has not given a positive response.
This sudden appearance immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"That pixel game is really going to be released? Remember to circle me when it comes out. I want to see it with my own eyes."
"What the hell? You can't even pass this kind of connect-the-dots game? A great mathematician can't play games."
"Pfft~ You can pass this with your eyes closed, right? What the hell is this?"
"Shake Message mini game? Has Master Yi been recharged? Is this a promotion?"
"I don't care about this connect-the-dots game. I only care about 'Minecraft'. Let me see what the cube man can do. Haha~"
"Why not just name it 'Wooden Bear Cube II'?"
"How can you name it 'II'? '-I' is the best."
"Shen Temo'-I'."
"Master Yi, have you proved something again? There is another discussion about you on the Internet, and most of it is positive. 'Picture' 'Picture'"
"Bring glory to the country, awesome."
The advantage of having your own traffic is that as soon as Wang Yi posts, someone will forward and leave a message.
Although it was still mainly teasing, Wang Yi had the title of a great mathematician, which was equivalent to a 90% magic resistance aura. Not many people dared to attack him directly, and at most they would make a few sarcastic remarks.
Later, someone posted a special proof question that Wang Yi had previously posted and solved by himself.
There are quite a few replies, and some of them are from other mathematicians...
