Chapter 89 I say—President, your opinion is great!
hehe.
Gu Sheng's question made Shen Miaomiao chuckle in her heart.
Why am I stupid?
How the hell could such words come out of your mouth?
The knife that stabbed me in the back is still in your hand, and you ask me why I froze?
Why don't you ask the magic conch?
Your commitment pinch? Your stretcher... not... cooking pinch?!
Didn’t we agree on this?
How come this cooking game suddenly became an FPS?
and!
Looking at the cheers from competitors and media at the scene, it was not difficult for Shen Miaomiao to judge that Lao Gu’s wave of innovative operations was even more amazing than his previous "Way of Survival"!
Shen Miaomiao scratched her ears and cheeks, feeling a little bit like dying.
Originally, everything was going smoothly!
Whether it is campus recruitment or cost investment!
Although there are some minor flaws in the middle, it is not a big deal!
Because there is such a clever plan as "cooking game" here, the final result will definitely not be particularly ideal!
She had clearly already secured victory!
But!
I never expected it!
The so-called cooking game turned out to be a feint by Gu Sheng to her!
Dooooogthing!
Shen Miaomiao was so angry that her teeth were itching.
But then I thought again, that’s not right?
Gu Sheng didn't know that she was only interested in losing money, so there seemed no need to deceive her about such a thing, right?
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but turn her stiff neck and asked Gu Sheng:
"I remember you mentioned before... not PUBG, but a cooking game?"
"Did I say that?"
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and remembered:
"Oh yeah, I think I said before, 'This is a cooking game in a way', you have a really good memory, hahaha."
You ha a hammer you ha a hammer!!!
Shen Miaomiao's fists were stiff. If she hadn't restrained herself, she would have punched out right there!
nonsense!
Am I having a bad memory?!
Not only do I have a good memory, but I was also tricked by this sentence for a whole month!
Damn it!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao regretted it!
If I had asked him to look at the game plan within this month, I wouldn't have been hit by such a bolt from the blue!
"so what?"
Shen Miaomiao was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, pointing at the promotional poster on the stage:
"What does this mean?"
"Hey, I just said that casually at the time,"
Gu Sheng laughed, waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Just think about it. There are hundreds of people participating in this game, and there are weapons and vehicles involved. There will definitely be all kinds of strange ways of dying."
"Besides, this is a competitive game. It's fun to compete with others."
"So, when the game is released, there will definitely be all kinds of crouching dragons and phoenixes, doing all kinds of operations that will make people eat."
"As the saying goes, this competition is not a simple one, many chefs are cooking,"
"So, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a cooking game, hahahaha..."
Speaking of.
Gu Sheng even smiled and glanced at Little Nezha, jokingly saying:
"What? You don't really think I want to play a game of bragging about cooking?"
"Hahahaha that's too stupid. How mentally retarded must I be to choose such a stupid topic? I'm only going to lose money. You can't possibly agree to that, right..."
After saying that, Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow at Shen Miaomiao, then turned around and continued to discuss production experience with Nuyan's Director Li Xiaofeng.
hiss--
Shen Miaomiao took a deep breath!
Where's my fucking knife?!
Why are you so cheap... I'm just going to stab you to death with one knife, you evil beast! ! !
Shen Miaomiao's face was turning all colors , and she wished she could live as long as Gu Sheng right now.
She didn't feel bad about the company's money. After all, the money didn't originally belong to her.
She only takes 40% of the 10% profit, and it doesn't matter to her whether it's more or less.
But don't forget!
Among the 50 million yuan cost of this project, she still has 10 million yuan in her personal savings!
Ten million!
Those are the brothers and sisters of Mascot Fifty!
I just got it, it’s not even warm yet!
Just throw it all into this project!
The most important thing is that this 10 million is a free capital injection from her!
Because according to system regulations, the [Project Investment Amount] item in the system only calculates the internal investment amount of the host company.
Other things such as bank loans, dividend investments, and external borrowings are not included in the calculation of the system investment amount.
This is why when Shen Miaomiao lacked funds for the project, she first went to her father to beg for money, and when that failed, she paid out of her own pocket.
But the fundamental reason is that they never solicited investment or looked for banks from the beginning to the end!
Because Lao Shen and her own money do not need to be repaid and can be integrated into the company's internal funds in the form of free capital injection.
In this way, the project investment amount can be effectively increased!
For example, the "PUBG" project was short of 10 million yuan at the beginning.
If Shen Miaomiao went to the bank to borrow money, the total cost of this project in the system would be 40 million.
But if she invested the money out of her own pocket, the system would show the total cost as 50 million.
It is obvious which of the two is more likely to lose money.
only!
She had never expected that Gu Sheng's move of turning cooking into shooting would completely disrupt her plans!
This won’t do!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao's expression became serious!
I have to save myself!
At the very least, in this 50 million investment project, she has to lose one million!
Because only in this way can she save the money in her own piggy bank!
This time!
Shen Miaomiao doesn't want much rebate, she just wants to get her money back!
but!
How to lose this one million within a week is another problem!
Because judging by the current situation, even if their game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds doesn’t win the championship, its sales will definitely be good.
After all, their previous work "Left 4 Dead" has proved a truth -
In most cases, sales of projects that attract competitors are absolutely guaranteed!
Therefore, she absolutely cannot sit idly by and just pray for the project to lose money by burning incense and chanting Buddhist scriptures.
She had to do something.
In fact, it is very simple to do this.
Whenever she returned, she would find fault with the project crazily, asking Gu Sheng and others to make changes. This would be repeated endlessly, in an effort to slow down the project's progress.
Once the five-month production deadline is up, the organizing committee will directly sentence them to forfeit.
At that time, they will lose the publicity and promotion support of the Asian Games, and will no longer enjoy the policy of "full access to Asia's mainstream sensory cabin platforms" provided by the organizing committee.
By the time we release the game and start up the system, it will be easy to lose money on a game with a 50 million investment.
But Shen Miaomiao couldn't do that.
Firstly, this method was too arbitrary and shady. Although she wanted to lose money, she was not so cruel.
Secondly, if he did that, Gu Sheng would definitely find out what was going on, and might even anger him, causing him to resign and leave.
By then, your system will be ruined and the loss will outweigh the gain.
But if the progress was not delayed, Shen Miaomiao was worried that Jiang Yun and his group of fanatics would be too radical and make the project too perfect.
So, she has to find a balance.
A balance that will complete the project without making it too perfect.
After all, she didn't want to lose much this time. She just wanted to make back her investment by losing one million.
But the problem is that as a layman, she has no idea how to control time in such a professional way.
But she couldn't ask Gu Sheng directly, as that would be too obvious.
For a moment, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
Who should I consult indirectly?
Just thinking about it!
Then the host's voice sounded again on the field.
It turned out that with the completion of the project introduction by the last manufacturer, after collective voting by 200 media and 500 players in the audience, the [Most Anticipated Game Award] had been decided.
There is no doubt that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds won this award without any suspense thanks to its innovative gameplay and design.
Gu Sheng went on stage to receive the award.
Shen Miaomiao also rolled her eyes, took this opportunity to lift her butt, sat in Gu Sheng's seat, nodded and smiled at Li Xiaofeng next to her:
"Director Li."
"Hey, Mr. Shen,"
Li Xiaofeng nodded politely.
Although Golden Wind is not very powerful, Shen Miaomiao is quite famous, so Li Xiaofeng dare not neglect her:
"What are your instructions?"
"It's not an instruction, I just want to consult Director Li about something."
Shen Miaomiao laughed and said:
"Do you think... our project... can be completed within the specified time limit?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaofeng laughed:
"Haha, Mr. Shen and Director Gu are really in sync. We were just discussing this matter."
"Regarding the development progress, Director Gu also expressed concerns,"
"For a game like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, five months is indeed a tight production schedule. Without rushing, it should only be enough for your company to produce a basic prototype,"
"As for normal play, there will be no problem, but there is no time to polish many details,"
"In fact, if your company has a few more people or a larger budget, this problem can be effectively solved."
"But as the saying goes, even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Your company is in a difficult situation now."
"So, I just suggested this to Director Gu,"
"During this special period, your company can definitely adopt some special measures to solve the urgent problem,"
"For example, we can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of employees by distributing project dividends,"
"I can't say whether you can win the championship in this event, but you will definitely not lose money,"
"Using project dividends to encourage employees to work overtime seems to be giving up part of the company's profits,"
"But in reality, the profits are much higher than those of just hastily putting it on the shelves,"
"After all, an unpolished work will definitely affect the player experience to a certain extent,"
"For example, details are not in place, motion sensing is delayed, small bugs continue, the game runs unstably, etc."
"These things may not seem serious, but they will directly affect game sales."
That’s it!
Li Xiaofeng smiled and nodded at Shen Miaomiao:
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I'm a straightforward person, so I hope Mr. Shen can forgive me."
"Director Li, what are you talking about? I can't thank you enough."
Shen Miaomiao stretched out her hand and sincerely thanked Li Xiaofeng.
That's really nice of him.
What I just said was all from the bottom of my heart. I really stood from Golden Wind's perspective and helped them to come up with ideas and solve their problems.
and!
Director Li's analysis really helped Shen Miaomiao a lot!
Especially the last sentence -
An unpolished work will definitely affect the sales of the game!
This is just what I want!
Shen Miaomiao's eyes lit up!
Even Director Li's analysis helped her measure the scale - whether or not to work overtime will directly affect the sales of the game.
The smile returned to Shen Miaomiao's face.
Things suddenly become simple!
Now, she only needs to strictly prohibit overtime work to perfectly control the progress of the project and allow "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" to be put on the shelves in a basic prototype form!
After that, all she had to do was wait for a week, until she had made back her lost money, and then ask Lao Gu to complete and repair it.
In this way, the company does not have to work overtime, the game can be released on schedule, she loses money, but the reputation of the game will not collapse.
Killing four birds with one stone can be said to be achieving the most perfect result at the lowest cost.
Everyone is happy!
…
So happy!
Gu Sheng also came back to receive the award.
As soon as he came back, Gu Sheng spoke.
There is nothing else to say, it can be summed up in four words - encourage overtime.
Yes, after some communication and discussion with Li Xiaofeng, Gu Sheng also believed that the only way to create more time for polishing is to release an incentive mechanism to encourage employees to work overtime.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Miaomiao was so proud!
Good boy, hit me in the hand, hahaha!
I just finished talking to Director Li, can I agree to your request? !
So his little face turned stern and his brows frowned!
"Xiao Gu, please don't say such things that are not conducive to unity in the future."
Gu Sheng: ???
"Project dividend incentives? How am I not conducive to unity?"
"Tsk, think about it,"
Shen Miaomiao said with deep sincerity:
"Just half a month ago, when the new employees first joined the company, I said that our company has always adhered to the work philosophy of being relaxed, free and humane,"
"Do you think that you are fair to employees by setting up project profit incentives and giving them money under the banner of voluntary overtime?"
"You are wrong, Comrade Xiao Gu. You are blatantly encouraging involution!"
"Put yourself in their shoes. If you were an employee and saw other colleagues working overtime overnight for bonuses, what would you think?"
"Even if you don't want this dividend incentive at all, are you embarrassed to leave?"
"Besides, we only have so many people in our company right now, and the game project requires close coordination,"
"Some people work overtime, while others do not. If we cannot ensure smooth work, then isn't that a waste of overtime?"
"Besides,"
“Since we have chosen this challenging project, we must also accept its imperfections.”
"Mount Everest is right there. Even if we can't climb it today, there's still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"A game, especially one that needs to be maintained and updated later, is bound to be imperfect in the early stages,"
"It's not like we just make the game and then forget about it,"
"It's better to put it on sale in time than to delay and be ruled as a forfeit by the organizing committee, right?"
"Does what I say make sense?"
hiss--!!!
Hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath!
What a damn rigorous logic!!!
Gu Sheng was shocked!
I couldn't refute it!
He looked at little Nezha with surprised eyes, as if he had met this person for the first time!
What little Nezha said makes so much sense!
Although!
According to her , the game will be unpolished and full of minor problems when it goes online.
However, from the perspective of the employees, little Nezha is really thinking about them!
Gu Sheng opened his mouth three times, but couldn't find any flaws, and had no idea how to start talking!
Looking at Gu Sheng's frustrated look of wanting to say something but not being able to, little Nezha was almost laughing like crazy in his heart!
It’s true!
When it comes to issues of interests, human minds become extremely clear!
Me! Shen Miaomiao! Smart!
The sentence "You are encouraging internal competition, which is not conducive to company unity" choked Gu Sheng to death!
Say it?
Shen Miaomiao raised her eyebrows.
Why don’t you tell me?
Let me see what other tricks you have?
Today's class - you can't add even a little extra!!!
"Do you have any other suggestions?" Shen Miaomiao raised her head towards Gu Sheng.
For a long while!
Gu Sheng grunted and groaned, but in the end he couldn't find a foothold to refute Little Nezha, so he could only nod and bow:
"I say - President, your opinion is great!"
