The strongest game producer

Originally, the few people planned to arrange other recreational activities after lunch, such as going to a high-end club to sing, play bowling, swim, etc., but when Xiao Gou took out the game, these people shamelessly requisitioned the private room of the restaurant , ordered some snacks and drinks, and played games comfortably.

"Which club do you go to? What's there to play in the club?" Stabbed his hands like flying, "I've played all the ones that aren't illegal, but the ones that are illegal can't pass the hurdle in my heart. The game is still interesting."

The others nodded.

The corner of Xiao Gou's mouth twitched.It seems that this is a group of law-abiding rich second generations, and they are indeed Da Qiao's friends.

"Hey, when will this game be open for testing?" Stubborn rubbed his wrists and said, "It's so interesting for the few of us to play games online. It must be more interesting if there are more people."

Xiao Gou shook his head: "It's true that if there are more people, it may be more interesting, and it may also make people jump in anger."

Stabbing smiled and said, "It's fun to jump when you're angry, the game needs some uncertainty to be fun."

Xiao Gou thought to himself, when you are dragged down to death by your idiot teammates, I hope you can also say the above sentence with a smile.

Qiao Hongdao: "Puppy and I took over the production of special effects for a CTV variety show. We also produced the trailer for the show. When they release the first trailer, we will open the public beta."

Shitou was curious: "Don't you open the closed beta with deleted files first? I see that other games will delete files for closed beta several times. Doesn't your game first open the closed beta to find bugs?"

Xiao Gou said to himself: "I am still very confident about the program, and I guarantee that there will be no bugs. However, Da Qiao and I did plan to delete the file for internal testing first, but a few days ago we saw a foreign game studio propose a similar gameplay. If we don’t take the lead, we may be caught first. For this type of game, the first to launch can seize more markets.”

Since game studios have described similar gameplay in the media, they are either just describing a concept and waiting for major game companies to take a fancy to their idea and invest in them; or they have already started developing this type of game and warming up in advance.

Xiao Gou is confident that his game has absolutely no bugs, and the gameplay is already very mature, but the resources and servers required by "Spiritual Weapon Wars" are much higher than the previous "Fruit Ninja" and Nuan Nuan. If the server quality is not up to standard, the entire game will collapse, so they originally planned to conduct a few internal tests first.

But if other game studios or manufacturers have already started to produce similar games, when he starts the closed beta, the gameplay of this game may be imitated by other manufacturers to improve their own games.

Although Xiao Gou is confident in the quality of his game, before or even at the same time as their public beta testing, some game manufacturers released similar games. The popularity of "Spirit War" will still be divided a lot.

Taking the above into consideration, Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong decided to take a risk and directly conduct public testing.

Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong didn't make it too clear, but they were not fools either.They know the difficulties of small studios. In order to escape the siege of big game manufacturers, small studios fight for creativity and time.

"It's really difficult to start a business." In fact, Shi Shi, who is also considered to be an entrepreneur, sighed, "If you need to find a celebrity endorsement platform, please call me. I will give you a discounted price."

Qiao Hong is also not polite: "It is not necessary now, as long as the server can support it, this game should be fine. After all, you have such high requirements for the game, you all think it is fun, and other players will definitely like it. When you need it Of course I'll call you."

The stabbing head said with a smile: "That's natural, my vision is very picky."

Stone reminded: "Although you may need to hire people to maintain the server now, but the more you don't rush at this time, the game manufacturers who are staring at you may cause trouble."

Qiao Hong and Xiao Gou also thought so.Even Xiao Gou had the idea of ​​not recruiting people for the time being and taking care of everything by himself.It’s just that escaping like this is not the way to go. Now Nuannuan can barely handle it by himself. If he wants to operate "Spirit War" and design holographic games, he must add people. Now there is still time to train and adapt to recruit people.

Xiao Gou scratched his hair.So he is really not suitable to be a leader, and he feels trembling at the thought of considering things outside the procedure.But he can't always squeeze Qiao Hong, he has to learn these things slowly.

Qiao Hong patted Xiao Gou on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry."

Xiao Gou nodded, he changed the subject and said, "Are we just playing games here? Just have dinner here?"

Several people expressed that they wanted to play games until dinner, which was very addictive.

Xiao Gou didn't know whether it was a pity or a joke.He originally thought that he could see the entertainment methods of the rich second generation, but it turned out that this group of rich second generations were lazier than his friends for dinner, so a group of people just nestled around and played games.

After dinner, the few of them didn't plan how to continue playing.Under Qiao Hong's supervision, they reluctantly deleted the game on their mobile phones, and each took a taxi to go home.

Although there is still a little traffic jam on the way home, they don't need to rush home. They would rather sleep in a taxi than squeeze the subway.

Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong also called a taxi.When returning home, Xiao Gou complained to Qiao Hong that this gathering of friends was too energy-efficient, and he thought he could go out with him to see the entertainment methods of the rich second generation.

Qiao Hong rolled his eyes at Xiao Gou, and said, "What kind of entertainment can there be? Drinking, playing cards, singing K, playing ball, listening to band singing? Or do you want to do something illegal? In fact, the items of the party are similar, just the service and consumption of the place you go to. It's just different levels. You have to do something different, golf? Horse riding? Shooting? Racing? Extreme sports?..."

Before Qiao Hong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Gou: "It sounds so tiring, I choose to play games at home."

Qiao Hong shrugged: "Many people think the same as you."

He paused, and said: "However, they are indeed much more depressed than before. The party used to be more lively, and they would not go home after dinner. Everyone has something in their hearts, including Da Niu who said that his life is very good Inside, I can see that he is also a little absent-minded. It’s just that no one wants to talk about this kind of thing, and it’s useless to talk about it. You still have to rely on yourself. Fortunately, you brought out the game to adjust the atmosphere.”

Although the brothers who were carefree when they were young, although their relationship has not diminished when they grow up, if they don't want to continue to muddle along, they must have their own busy and troubled places.

"I thought they would play for a while at night." Qiao Hong sighed, "It seems that everyone is hiding something in their hearts, and they don't even have the fun."

Xiao Gou comforted: "I see them playing games very happily. Let's make more good games, so that they can be addicted to games and have no time to worry."

Qiao Hong couldn't laugh or cry.What the hell is Xiao Gou saying?Are you using games as spiritual opiates?Even spiritual opium is a palliative, not a permanent cure, okay?

"Let's not mention this anymore. We will help if they need our help." Qiao Hong's mobile phone text message rang suddenly. He looked down and saw that it was a text message from Shitou. A picture password that I got out of boredom.

Qiao Hong remembered that Xiao Gou once complained about whether his official language was Martian, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

These picture passwords are so simple that you don't even need a password book, just replace the letters with pictures, and then use pinyin to decipher them.Although Qiao Hong hadn't used this kind of picture password for a long time, Qiao Hong still thought about the meaning of the picture for a while, but when he remembered it, he deciphered the text message very smoothly.

Stone: "Do you have that kind of meaning for puppies?"

Qiao Hong froze for a moment after interpreting it. What does "that aspect" refer to?

Out of politeness, when Qiao Hong was reading the text message, Xiao Gou didn't go up to peek.When Qiao Hong showed a surprised expression, Xiao Gou asked concerned: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Hong had an intuition that this text message could not be told to Xiao Gou, so he suppressed the astonishment on his face and said, "I thought he was going to send me some important news..."

Only then did Xiao Gou glance at the screen, and said, "I guess I pressed the wrong button."

Qiao Hong nodded.He put his phone in his pocket and began to close his eyes to rest.

When the taxi arrived at the destination, Qiao Hong took a nap and took Xiao Gou's shoulder.

Xiao Gou was full of energy, and even joked that if Qiao Hong had not woken up, he would carry Princess Qiao Hong upstairs.

Qiao Hong just looked at Xiao Gou's biceps with disdainful eyes, and Xiao Gou's smile gradually became embarrassing.

"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Gou muttered, "Be careful, I will become a muscular man in the future, hugging you is like playing."

"Oh." Qiao Hong responded perfunctorily and yawned, "You are so energetic, why don't you work overtime tonight, I'll take a shower and go to bed first."

Xiao Gou: "...don't arrange for me to work overtime at every turn."

Qiao Hong smiled, went to change into home clothes, took a shower and went to sleep.

After he dried his hair and lay on the bed, Qiao Hong sent a text message to Shi Shi: "Ji sees Ren Ji."

Stone replied in seconds: "Hehe."

After a while, Shi Shi sent another message: "Are you really insensitive or too dull?"

Qiao Hong replied: "What do you think? The innocent little stone that I will expose every time I have a crush on him?"

Stone: "Shut up!"

Qiao Hong chuckled and deleted the text message record.Stone did not send any more text messages.

……

A few days after meeting their friends, Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong split up and went to various colleges and universities to recruit and promote Red Dog Games. Red Dog Games quickly ushered in a peak of recruitment. The quality of applicants this time was better than last time Much taller.

After this recruitment, the staff of Red Dog Games has finally expanded to double digits.There are also many students who graduated this year signed employment agreements with Red Dog in advance, and will report directly to Red Dog after graduation.Of course, if they have time now, they can come to Red Dog for an internship immediately.

Anyone with a little bit of brain knows that at this time, of course, they should immediately come to Red Dog for an internship to learn more things, so that they can get started later.

Xiao Gou finally recruited four programmers this time, but unfortunately none of these four programmers were his juniors.

Xiao Gou's criteria for selecting candidates is to be practical, diligent, careful and willing to work, and the requirements for programming skills are not high.These four people are not top-notch in their respective schools, but whether they are evaluated by teachers or classmates, they are down-to-earth and hard-working, like old scalpers.

Of course, although they did not graduate from Mizuki University, the school they graduated from is also a top-ranked school in the country, and no one is stupid, but they are particularly outstanding in terms of diligence, steadfastness and self-discipline.

This kind of employees are very popular in large companies, but the applicants thought that Red Dog, as a new company, would prefer employees who are enterprising and flexible. After the interview, I was a little apprehensive.

Xiao Gou was helpless.As far as his personal feelings are concerned, of course he is more willing to help his alma mater improve the employment rate of graduates, although his alma mater may not lack this.However, the few people Mizuki came to apply for were either too arrogant and directly expressed their desire to enter the leadership with high-spirited talk; or it seemed that they were playing the Red Dog game as a springboard, and after getting some qualifications, they wanted to jump to other big companies.

Water flows to low places, and people go to high places. Xiao Gou knows that the temple of Red Dog Game is small, so he doesn't blame these job seekers for not paying attention to Red Dog Game.But he is definitely not willing to recruit such people.

Now Red Dog is about to enter the intense overtime period. Afterwards, whether it is the public beta of the spirit weapon or the production of the fairy sword, the company needs to work hard with one heart and one mind.The leadership of Red Dog Games has no plans to change at present, and he is not happy to see someone suddenly leave and change jobs when everyone is working overtime, disrupting his work plan.What Xiao Gou wants to recruit is obedient and willing employees who can work in Red Dog Games for at least one year.

He knows that the turnover rate of employees in the game industry is very high, but if he can't stay for a year, he will cause trouble for himself by recruiting people.

What's more, those who have the idea of ​​studying in Red Dog Games for a period of time before applying for jobs in big companies will not be able to achieve their goals by coming to Red Dog Games to work.The programmers who come to work at Red Dog Games will use the subroutines of Xiao Gou’s game designer and server maintainer, that is, after they log in with their fingerprints and irises, they can use some functions of the game intelligent design and maintenance tools Xiao Gou uses.

Both softwares are so smart that they hardly need to program them themselves.Of course, this is not to say that what programmers have learned is completely useless.The most basic knowledge is still those, but the software is smarter.

What Xiao Gou trains them is a careful and responsible work attitude, as well as the vision and thinking of game development and operation.After that, the games in Xiao Gou's hands must be distributed to the various game studios under him for operation and maintenance.

It's not that the things they learned at Red Dog are useless, it's just that grassroots employees in big companies don't use them.They have no qualifications and no works, and it is impossible for a large company to give them the resources to immediately set up a studio for them to practice what they have learned in Red Dog Games.

So Xiao Gou felt that, whether it was for others or for the Red Dog game, he should not recruit these people.

Xiao Gou made a special call to the principal for this reason.During the phone call, Xiao Gou only said that Red Dog Games hopes to recruit some employees who are more stable and have no intention of leaving in the short term. He is really sorry for wasting the lecture opportunity specially given by the principal and not contributing to his alma mater.

The principal expressed his understanding on the phone, and after hanging up the phone, he sighed.

He is very optimistic about Red Dog Games, but the students are not him, they can’t see the background and potential of Red Dog Games, they only regard Red Dog Games as a small studio with good luck, obviously they don’t intend to take Red Dog Games seriously .He had a hunch that students who missed this opportunity would definitely regret it in the future.

Thinking of this, the principal couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "It's not bad to let them regret it. How can there be no regrets in life?"

……

After the job fair, Xiao Gou began to train the four new programmers.

After these four programmers came into contact with Red Dog's game designer, they realized what Xiao Gou said at the job fair at the beginning, "Those who want to come to Red Dog to learn the basic skills of programmers can give up. , Technical things are almost impossible to learn" This is not a joke.

Originally they thought that Xiao Gou was just euphemistically boasting that the innovative spirit of the Red Dog game was the most important thing, but they didn't know that Xiao Gou was really telling the truth, coming here, really can't learn any technical things.

"It's really amazing." The four of them were not depressed at all, and they couldn't put it down, "This is the secret of Red Dog's awesomeness? God, Mr. Xiao, should we sign a non-disclosure agreement?"

Xiao Gou said: "The confidentiality agreement must be signed, but let me tell you the truth, you can only use this game designer in your work unit, and it is impossible to copy or interpret the framework. I am still a little confident in this point. You Familiarize yourself with the game designer and server maintenance software. As I said at the job fair, the programmers of Red Dog Games basically need one person to be responsible for several large-scale games. In the future, you will be the ones who will maintain or even make games independently , After getting familiar with the tools, I will teach you again.”

Xiao Gou looked at the four people who were eager to try, and couldn't help laughing: "I want to be familiar with such a fool's tool, don't I need to teach it?"

The four programmers shook their heads in unison.This has to be taught, and their books are wasted.

Xiao Gou also wanted to see their self-learning ability, so he gave them a week to familiarize themselves with the tools, and then asked them to hand in a "homework".

Xiao Gou has a good vision, and the four programmers are very down-to-earth and hardworking.After a week, they were able to use tools proficiently, and the works were perfect.

They were embarrassed when Xiao Gou praised them.With such a smart tool, it is normal for a work to be made like this.

They are all programmers. Although the four of them have just left school, they are not idiots who don't know anything.They know how technical this fool's game designer and server maintenance software is.If they admired the vision and luck of Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong before, now they have completely bowed to Xiao Gou's trouser legs, stubbornly thinking that it is unscientific for a technical master like Xiao Gou not to dominate the game world. With two patents, he can crush the opponent.

Xiao Gou almost died of embarrassment when he heard these four people whispering "the game world will be unified for generations to come".

After Qiao Hong learned about it, he joked: "I heard that programmers have a lot of secondary illnesses, and it is true."

Xiao Gou hurriedly said, "I'm not like this."

Qiao Hong said: "Really?"

Xiao Gou puffed up his chest: "Of course."

Qiao Hong had a half-smile but not a smile: "Who is clamoring to step on Xia Meng's fist every day to beat Bacheng, and when he has money to make hardware equipment, he will smash the panda with his ass?"

Xiao Gou put on a serious face: "That's called the future goal, the goal that can be achieved, how can it be called the second disease?"

Qiao Hong shrugged.Obviously Xiao Gou is crazier than those people.Others just chanted slogans as a joke, but Xiao Gou was serious.

But having a goal is also good. Looking at the thriving company, Qiao Hong is also full of energy in his heart.

……

Because of the two crazy bosses who work overtime, the employees of Red Dog Games not only work intensively, but also require extremely high work efficiency.Under such high pressure, once the internship period was over, many people left or were fired. The number of Red Dog games dropped to single digits, only nine people.But the four programmers stayed. Not only did they stay, but they also persuaded their friends and classmates to join the Red Dog game.

They looked mysterious and refused to say the reason, only that Red Dog Games would never disappoint.With this attitude, they actually pulled a lot of people.

Xiao Gou screened and recruited two more programmers.The two programmers also immediately bowed down under Xiao Gou's trouser legs, saying that they would die if the red dog didn't leave, and that the red dog would definitely become the next Stella.Now that they are following the red dog, it means that their prosperity is just around the corner.

Stella, the United States, and even the world are recognized as the top-ranked game manufacturers. The name is taken from Zarathustra, the name of the founder of Zoroastrianism.At that time, the founder took this name and said very wildly that "the gods in the game world are coming." For Stella's fans, he has now realized his ambition.

Of course Xiao Gou didn't believe that these people were really so quick to give up on Red Dog, he just thought of these people as flattering.But with their current fanatical attitude, it shouldn't be a problem for them to keep their jobs for a year, right?Red Dog's benefits and treatment are good.

"Is it true that our company will not change its name to Red Dragon Zulong?" the programmers asked very seriously.

Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong, who were named Fei, looked at each other, and said at the same time: "The reputation of Red Dog Game has been established, so we won't change it. And isn't the number one selling smartphone manufacturer also called Panda? This is Huawei. With Chinese characteristics, we are more modest and not so proud.”

Bacheng:? ? ?

The programmers said yes one after another, saying that the red dog must be taken from the Xiaotian dog, the kind that can swallow the sun and the moon!So domineering!

Qiao Hong took a deep breath, then turned his head to Xiao Gou and said, "Do your subordinates really not know that Red Dog is a homonym of our two names, or do they not know?"

Xiao Gou shrugged: "I must know, but they must also think that both have meanings. Don't you think the meaning of Xiaotiangou is also good? It doesn't matter if they misunderstand."

Of course Qiao Hong didn't care.

Afterwards, the fans of Red Dog knew the meaning of Red Dog and Roaring Sky Dog being able to swallow the sun and moon, and they all said that the name of Red Dog was so good and domineering.

Xiao Gou & Qiao Hong: Oh.

The author has something to say:

Roaring Sky Dog: Bark?Laozi is a black Chinese fine dog, not a red dog, get out!
