Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 733
Shi Yu's matter came to an end.

The next morning, the "TYPE-MOON" studio, which was on vacation for a week, reunited.

In the conference room, all the members sat down neatly and looked at Kato Yusuke expectantly.

According to the plan, today should be a meeting to discuss some things, and then go to make up for the celebration banquet that Xia COMI failed to hold that day.

However, Kato Yusuke looked around, but he didn't see Kei's figure.

Seeing his reaction, Ying Lili, who was sitting on his right hand, stretched out her small hand to grab his clothes, and whispered a word: "Yusuke, Hui won't be here today."

Kato Yusuke was taken aback.

won't come?

Not only him, other people also showed incomprehensible expressions when they heard this sentence.

Speaking of the producer Megumi Kato, the first impression of everyone present is that he has a good temper, always speaks in a good-tempered manner, and is also very responsible for his work.

Why didn't this come all of a sudden?
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Kanoko Hasami hurriedly rescued her, "Ah, actually, Kato-san asked for leave with me, saying that she was busy with her sister's marriage and didn't have much time recently."

When Yoshida and the others heard this, they nodded in understanding.

Kato Yusuke was not so relaxed, he just felt his head was as big as a bucket.

Although he has been busy with Shi Yu's affairs these days, he did not ignore Hui's problems, and would send a few LINEs from time to time, but it was a pity that all of them disappeared.

It's even better now, the other party doesn't even come to the studio.

It's pretty clear what this means.

Shi Yu, who was sitting on his left hand, raised his eyes, vaguely guessed his thoughts, and reminded him nonchalantly: "Since Kato-san can't come, why don't we start the meeting?"

Kato Yusuke reacted and nodded in agreement.

The main reason is that he has nothing to do right now, so he can only temporarily put Hui's problem on hold and try to deal with it later.

He quickly adjusted his mentality, cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone should be clear that the sales of our games are good. This achievement is inseparable from everyone's joint efforts. Everyone has worked hard."

There was immediate applause in the conference room.

Everyone felt happy from the bottom of their hearts. After all, after a whole year of hard work, it was a good thing to be successful.

"Master!" Xiangle Mayu raised a hand and asked jokingly, "Our game sells so well, will there be any bonus?"

"Well, this should be what everyone is most concerned about, right?" Kato Yusuke nodded with a smile, affirming, "The answer is yes, let's talk about the specifics."

Kanoko Hasumi was already prepared for this, she got up from her seat with the materials, and walked to the front of the meeting room, while others looked at her expectantly.

"Let me first talk about the achievements of "Clannad" so far." She smiled methodically.

"First of all, the first week of sales of "Clannad", as you may already know, our game has now sold [-] copies."

"so much--!?"

Mishima Yuba was shocked.

"What's going on here? Didn't our Xia COMI prepare [-] items that day?
Even including the [-] copies from "rouge en rouge", the total is only [-] copies, right?How could there be so many more at once? ? "

Hasami Kanoko explained with a smile:

"I'm about to say this. The physical version of our game did sell [-] copies. The extra [-] copies came from the Steam platform, so it's [-] copies."

"Not only that, the sales of our games are still growing. The demand in the market is far from saturated, and the factories responsible for the physical discs are already rushing to replenish."

"For a text adventure game, this is a remarkable achievement and something to be proud of. Thank you for your hard work."

She bowed after she finished speaking, and everyone applauded happily.

The higher the sales of the game, the higher the income, and the higher the income, the higher the bonus for everyone. This principle cannot be simpler.

Among them, Yoshida is the most emotional person.

"Clannad" turned out to be a hit!

Yoshida never expected this.

The so-called interlacing is like a mountain, he really can't understand why a game can sell so well.

The most outrageous thing is that this game was actually made by a group of high school students, which completely subverted his three views.

Hasumi Kanoko continued.

"According to the regulations of our studio, 10% of the project's net income will be distributed as a bonus.

However, according to the different positions of everyone and the amount of workload, there will be a certain weight in the distribution.

I will communicate the specific amount to the heads of various departments later, and you can ask yourself.

Mr. Yoshida is in charge of the program department, Sawamura-san is in charge of the art department, and Kasumigaoka-san is the only one in the planning department. "

Everyone nodded in understanding without any objection.

After all, everyone contributes differently in the project, so it makes no sense to ask everyone to get the same money.

For example, Mishima Yuba who joined halfway, her bonus is naturally less than others.

"But, Sister Renjian." Xiangle Zhenyu blinked and asked curiously: "You have talked so much, did you forget to say how much our revenue is?"

Kanoko Renmi smiled reservedly and straightened her back slightly.

"Well, the turnover of our game has reached 500 million yen. After deducting the game development cost and various expenses, there is still [-] million yen after tax in the studio account."

After she finished speaking, the scene suddenly became silent.

"Clannad" has been released in three editions: regular edition, deluxe edition, and collector's edition.

Leaving aside the 100 sets of collector's editions that are only sold on Xia COMI, the ratio of the regular edition to the deluxe edition is about 8:2.

According to this calculation, the 10% bonus is 1750 million!
There are only eight people in the "TYPE-MOON" studio. Even if everyone divides it equally, they can get about 200 million yuan, and this is only the first week of the game's release!
Thinking of this, everyone's breathing suddenly became much faster, and surprises appeared on their faces in unison.

If we said that we were still spiritually satisfied before, now we are materially satisfied.

As if feeling that the atmosphere was not warm enough, Yusuke Kato coughed to attract attention, and added fuel to the fire again.

"In addition to bonuses, the salary of all members will be increased by 30% on the original basis, which will take effect from next month."

Mishima Yuba was taken aback, pointed at herself and asked, "Boss, do I count too?"

Kato Yusuke nodded, "Of course, Ms. Mishima is also a member of this group, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be counted."

Yoshida was a little confused, "Kato, the salary you are giving now is not low. A 30% salary increase is not a small amount. Do you want to think about it again?"

Kato Yusuke smiled.

"I've thought about it many times, because I didn't have a chance to talk about it before. Now that the studio has the conditions, it must be arranged for everyone."

Yoshida rubbed his head, completely speechless.

"Long live Master!!" Xiangle Mayu raised her hands and cheered, leading the applause.

Seeing this, other people also applauded, this time the voice was much louder than before.This is a matter related to everyone's income, how can there be any reason to be unhappy?

As the boss of a company, Kato Yusuke is really different from ordinary capitalists.

Other bosses made cakes to get everyone to sacrifice their lives, but he didn't bring cakes at all, and just distributed the cakes to everyone.

Xiangle Mayu seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: "Master, do we still have to prepare a celebration banquet today?"

Kato Yusuke pondered for a moment: "Forget about today, let's open it later when all the staff are here."

……

After the meeting ended, Kato Yusuke left the members of Toyosaki for a while.

According to his original agreement, Kanoko Hasumi, Eriri, Shiwa, and Kei each have 10% of the shares.

Except that Hui was helpless because he was not there, he asked the other three women to provide an account so that the dividends could be entered later.

Everyone has nothing to say about this, it's up to him to decide.

Kato Yusuke talked about his plans to expand the studio.

The first is personnel recruitment. The main requirements are as follows.

Program Department: 3 people. (Programming 2 people, dynamic effect 1 person)
Planning Department: 4 people. (2 worldview architects, 1 numerical designer, and 1 functional designer)
Art department: 4 people. (2 original artists, 1 modeler, 1 action designer)
Production management department: 2 people. (The production will be carried out by 2 people, who are required to have good communication skills and emotional intelligence, and be able to coordinate and connect the work of various departments)

Others: 6 people. (2 people for game testing, 2 people for customer service, 1 person for administrative assistant, 1 person for HR)
Based on the above, he decided to recruit 19 positions, which doubled his manpower in one go.

Shi Yu didn't understand very much, and asked with a frown:

"Do we need so many people? The AS chapter of "Clannad" is almost done, so recruiting so many people is to start a new project?"

Kato Yusuke nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I have a few new projects to start, and it will be too slow to do it with our current manpower."

Ying Lili asked: "Why do we need to hire modelers? Are we going to make 3D games?"

Kato Yusuke replied ambiguously: "There are two projects that may use modeling and numerical design, which can be regarded as a preparation."

Regardless of the large number of people he recruited, but this number of people is placed in some large game companies, which is the size of a small project.

The studio will definitely continue to expand its enrollment in the future. At present, it is only a rough shelf to give everyone a step-by-step acceptance process.

After all, if too many people are recruited at once, it may become chaotic, which is not necessarily a good thing.

After talking about the recruitment, the next step is the relocation of the studio.

Considering the number of people who will join in the future, this house is obviously not enough now, so Kato Yusuke plans to move the studio to an office building with a better environment.

The third daughter couldn't help but feel a little surprised, wondering whether his steps might be too big.You must know that the rent of an office building is not cheap, and there are few people who choose it except for those big companies.

But Yusuke Kato had already made up his mind, and it was hard for them to refute.

After all, this studio is wholly owned by him, so the decision-making power is naturally in his hands.

Shiwa and Ying Lili went back to communicate with each other full of thoughts.

Kato Yusuke and Hasami Kanoko came to the president's office on the second floor, and then called Yoshida over.

"What's the matter with calling me here? Kato?" Yoshida asked inexplicably.

Kato Yusuke nodded with a smile, and pushed a contract in front of him.Yoshida picked it up and saw that it turned out to be a share transfer contract.

It says that Kato Yusuke will transfer 5% of the shares of the "TYPE-MOON" studio to him free of charge from the shares he owns.

The 5% shares are only counted as dividends, and do not participate in the management of the studio, and cannot be transferred to others, and can only be earned according to the operating conditions of the studio.

Even so, Yoshida was still quite frightened by this sudden move.

He widened his eyes in astonishment, and asked in shock, "No... what is this!?!?"

Kato Yusuke leaned back on the boss chair and explained calmly: "Mr. Yoshida has proved his worth, this is the reward you deserve, you just accept it."

"What the hell??" Yoshida stared at him dumbfounded, suddenly feeling that his head was not enough.

He could understand every word Kato Yusuke said, but it was impossible to understand it together.

Yes, it is true that he participated in the production of a hit game.But if someone tells him that this game alone will make him a multi-millionaire, you'll be done if he hates it or not.

However, the person who said this to him now was his boss.

He really couldn't find any words to describe his mood at the moment other than a groan.

After being stunned for a while, Yoshida swallowed hard, and asked incredulously:

"...No, Kato, are you serious? I wrote a program at best, how could it create such a great value? This is too exaggerated, I can't accept this."

After he finished speaking, he resolutely pushed back the contract.

After all, no matter how popular "Clannad" is, it cannot escape the essence of its text adventure game.

Is it hard to make a text adventure game?Is there any workload?Doesn't that mean that if you have hands, you can do it too?

It may be an exaggeration to say this, but Yoshida thinks so.

Compared with those large games, text adventure games are one of the most leisurely types in terms of programming.

As long as the developers do a good job in the underlying structure, all subsequent work can be done by matching tables.

For example, which background should be displayed, which characters should appear, which line and which song should be played, all can be realized in this way.

Except for some simple dynamic effects that need to be produced by programs, there are no other difficult parts.

Because of this, he was able to carry all the work of the programming department alone before, basically without the help of others.

Based on this excellent friendliness, text adventure games are also the hands-on work of many newcomer game designers.

Its production is really too simple, as long as the problem of script and art materials is solved, it will just take some time afterwards.

Of course, this is also a genre that is difficult to produce high-quality goods. Whether the game is good or not depends entirely on the story itself.

From this point of view, Kato Yusuke, who designed the plan, and Shiwa, who perfected the game script, are really awesome. At most, he just did some icing on the cake.

This 5% share is really deserved!
