Chapter 174 Fire is as powerful as wind! Borrow a chicken to lay an egg! The enemy is at Honnoji Temple!
Got kicked out.
Although Shen Miaomiao was a little surprised by this result, she did not show too much annoyance.
After all, as of now in this project, Lao Gu is a mercenary. He went out to make money and came back with 300,000 knives.
Golden Wind is definitely not a loss.
The only thing that worries her is whether Lao Gu will be sad.
Because it can be seen from Lao Gu’s previous status that he is very optimistic about this IP.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted the job eagerly and rushed to Neon to personally participate in the leading work.
Now, the project has been unilaterally canceled by Comella.
This undoubtedly cut off all Lao Gu’s ideas for this IP.
So, after Gu Sheng informed her to be prepared, Silent Hill would most likely be cancelled.
Shen Miaomiao's first reaction was to ask Gu Sheng what he thought of this sudden situation.
What can Gu Sheng think?
Farke Comella!
Sure enough!
Silent Hill PT will bring ominousness!
Thinking back on his past life, Hideo Kojima had a falling out with Konami’s senior management and left K Club during the production of this work.
Now, he himself has gone back to the old path of Brother Dao. Although the process is slightly different, the result is still the same.
Even, the situation he encountered was even more outrageous than Hideo Kojima!
Due to Comella’s temporary change of heart!
The IP of Silent Hill is, in all likelihood, completely finished.
After all, this guy has repeatedly failed in the horror game genre and has suffered a total loss.
Comora can't do Silent Hill well.
But the copyright is in the hands of Comella.
This IP is considered useless.
It seems that in this world, Silent Hill has no destiny to become a classic.
Gu Sheng is very sorry.
But it’s just a pity.
after all!
He was careful at the beginning and never mentioned the idea and design of the main game of Silent Hill to anyone in Comela!
so!
For Comella, all he has left is a thirty-minute trial version worth two million!
On average, it costs more than 60,000 yuan per minute!
It can be called a humanoid self-propelled money printing machine!
Of course, due to the huge success of PT, it has temporarily ignited the popularity of the Silent Hill IP, allowing the descendants of Comora to enjoy the coolness.
After going back and forth, the two sides seemed to be even.
No one gains and no one loses.
but!
Is this really the case?
Don’t forget it!
first!
Although Silent Hill PT made this long-dusted IP popular in Comella's hands, it also made Gu Sheng successful!
With the peak psychological horror creation in this demo version, Gu Sheng successfully won the title of the savior of horror games and the father of psychological horror!
Even directly called the "King of Horror Games" by many domestic and foreign media players!
This kind of recognition is even more important than many awards in the gaming industry!
Because this is the recognition of the market!
Secondly!
At that time, Yuki had a flash of inspiration and put forward the suggestion of "supplementing the identity of the protagonist"!
With Yuki's suggestion, Gu Sheng made slight changes to the ending of Silent Hill PT, which brought a conclusion to the confusing identity of the protagonist in the previous life!
A fearless reporter who dares to explore the truth—Miles Upshur—is born!
And Miles will become Gu Sheng’s key to opening up the horror game universe!
This key has nothing to do with the Silent Hill IP!
This is the super foreshadowing that Gu Sheng has specially laid for himself and the Golden Wind!
As for the last—
Hearing Gu Sheng chuckle, he said to Yuki on the phone:
“So Yuki, is your call today just to tell us that Comora will develop Silent Hill alone?”
At this time!
Yuki has been shocked beyond measure by Gu Sheng’s plan and strategy!
This man is such a thief!
Even though he is usually amiable, he is very affectionate to everyone during the neon time, showing his sincerity and sincerity.
But in fact, this guy has already taken precautions and has an extremely keen sense of smell!
Outrageous.
Yuki was shocked.
Director Gu is obviously just a person of the same age as her, but his level of cunning is far beyond that of a person of this age, and he even looks a bit like a veteran.
“Ah…I…”
Yuki felt as if he had provided false information, confused:
“I just...have nothing else to do.”
“Is it really gone?”
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows:
"Think about it again? For example, after leaking the news to me...where should you go to do things?"
“Ah...ah! Yes, yes, yes!”
After Gu Sheng’s reminder, Yuki reacted and slapped his forehead:
“There’s another thing, that is…”
Yuki suddenly found it difficult to speak.
The current situation made her feel like she was negotiating terms with Golden Wind, as if her purpose was impure.
But in fact, if she really wanted to negotiate terms, she wouldn't have to reveal the news so hastily.
Yuki is still young after all and has a thin skin.
Unlike Sato, he took over the conversation immediately and said:
“And in terms of salary, how much can Director Gu give us?”
As the saying goes, if a person is just smart, he will probably not be particularly happy because he has sensitive feelings and many worries.
And if a person is just shameless, he will probably not live a particularly comfortable life, because his unmeasured behavior will cause him to miss many good opportunities.
And Soki Sato.
A smart but shameless person.
Whether it is invincible or not remains to be said.
At least, he can make himself comfortable and happy.
The appearance of Sato's voice undoubtedly gave Gu Sheng an extra surprise!
"so…"
Gu Sheng said cheerfully:
“Is there a third person listening to this call?”
Sato knew that Director Gu was referring to Okura Kazu.
But it’s a pity.
Sato said with some regret: "Okura's father has always been in poor health, and he is the only son in the family, so..."
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s understandable, there will be opportunities in the future,”
Gu Sheng was not too disappointed and expressed his understanding:
“Then now—please ask our Mr. Shen to discuss the salary issue with you two personally!”
As he spoke, Gu Sheng looked at Shen Miaomiao with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
good!
Once on the throne! Fire borrows the power of wind and creates a reputation in one fell swoop!
Erliu foreshadowing! Borrow the chicken to lay the egg and create a personal tag key!
Three dig cores! Wagner mode is activated, the enemy is at Honnoji Temple!
Loss? It is impossible to lose money!
Not only did he not lose money, Gu Sheng almost made a fortune!
Say it!
I saw Gu Sheng raise his eyebrows at little Nezha: Come on, it's your turn to take action, you have the final say on how to pay.
Shen Miaomiao gave a questioning look: How much do you think is appropriate?
Gu Sheng made a four with his left hand and a three with his right hand.
Men are on the left and women are on the right. Sato is the main planner, 400,000 yuan, and Yuki, the main artist, is 300,000 yuan.
This is the salary of the two people he learned about when he was at Neon.
As far as salary in the gaming industry is concerned, the salary in China is about 10%-15% lower than that in Neon.
But it’s not much higher.
After all, Sato is only the chief designer of a studio under Comella, and Yuki has not been with the company for a long time.
After prompting, Gu Sheng also smiled slightly, picked up the paper cup, and made a small plum gesture to raise the cup, indicating that his job of poaching people has been completed, and he will watch your performance next.
Shen Miaomiao, who received Lao Gu's signal, also made an OK gesture to show that she understood.
said: "Then let's simply double it first. Mr. Sato will have 800,000 yuan and Yuki will have 600,000 yuan."
Poof—! !
The water that Gu Sheng just drank!
Nearly choked myself to death!
Looking at Little Nezha with wide eyes, his eyes were full of confusion and shock!
How many? !
How much do you pay them? !
800,000 and 600,000? !
My annual salary is only 500,000 yuan!
At the same time, Sato on the other end of the phone was also trembling!
“Ah…this uh…I uh?”
Sato was so confused that he even thought he heard it wrong!
Originally, he thought that as a developing manufacturer, Golden Wind would definitely not be able to compare with established manufacturers like Comella in terms of salary.
And he is also prepared to take a salary cut.
After all, what he mainly values is the future development potential of the company under Gu Sheng's leadership.
result!
Salaries not only did not drop, but actually doubled? !
I can’t figure it out! I really can’t figure it out!
“This…this…I…”
Sato didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Yuki on the opposite side smiled and answered the phone: "Then we will go find you in two days, my dear."
“Well, okay,” Shen Miaomiao chuckled, “I will pick you up when the time comes.”
eaten.
The phone hangs up.
Yuki stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Sato, who looked dull: "Senior Sato? What are you thinking about?"
“Huh? Ah!”
Sato finally reacted and blinked his confused eyes:
"I'm thinking...is Mr. Shen rejecting us? Reminding us in this euphemistic way?"
Yuki chuckled:
"Of course not. Didn't she make it clear on the phone?"
“But that doesn’t make sense?”
Sato is puzzled!
“And…and aren’t you shocked?”
“Me, hi, I’m just fine,”
In response, Yuki just shrugged and smiled:
“Because it does seem like something Miaomiao could do.”
Sato was puzzled: "You mean this is the way Golden Wind behaves?"
"No," Yuki shook her head: "I mean her father is one of the largest chaebols in China."
Sato:…
…
"no?!"
at the same time!
In the president’s office!
Gu Sheng wiped his mouth and looked at Shen Miaomiao with surprised eyes:
“You really just opened your mouth to come here? One is 800,000 and the other is 600,000? I only have 500,000!”
Seeing Gu Sheng's appearance, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help laughing and laughed: "What? Didn't you poach this person? Are you jealous?"
“It’s not a matter of jealousy,”
Gu Sheng raised his hand and followed the instructions:
“Your salary is far beyond the current level of our company. I don’t care, but what will everyone think if they know it?”
Gu Sheng wanted to say that such treatment was not conducive to company unity.
However, Shen Miaomiao shrugged: "Who said you are beyond the level of our company? They will surpass you. I am preparing to increase your annual salary from tomorrow."
Gu Sheng:?
“I don’t have a share?” Gu Sheng tilted his head and asked.
Shen Miaomiao spread her hands and said with an innocent face: "You don't care."
“OK! OK! OK!”
Gu Sheng laughed loudly, made obvious gestures, stood up and was about to walk out the door:
"Well, I just heard that Xun Teng's side seems to be in a bad situation recently. I think they need me more. Based on my current worth, I don't dare to say. If there is more than a hundred, there should be no problem. Let's go. ! Go to the enemy!"
“Hey, hey, hey! Stop! You are joking, brother!”
Upon seeing this, Shen Miaomiao jumped up from her seat and grabbed Gu Sheng's arm:
“Don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive, if you have something to say, it’s easy to discuss, it’s easy to discuss...”
"snort!"
Gu Sheng waved his hand:
“How can a man who is born between heaven and earth live in depression for a long time under human beings?”
“One and a half million!”
Seeing that Gu Sheng could not be held back, Shen Miaomiao directly opened her mouth and used her killing move!
Gu Sheng stopped in his tracks and coughed lightly: "What you said is enough to make people see the light of day, but it's just...!"
Shen Miaomiao stopped laughing and interrupted:
“Add another VP position!”
His!
Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, turned around immediately, faced Shen Miaomiao and bowed his hands!
"Gu Piaoling has spent half his life, only regretting that he has never met his master! If you don't give up, I will ride on the front and back of the horse!"
Shen Miaomiao giggled and the flower branches trembled!
good!
Now, Golden Wind is officially on the right track. With the two multi-player online projects APEX and PUBG, as well as the sales of a number of independent games, the profits are stable and the family fortune is getting stronger.
Shen Miaomiao felt that it was time to increase the wages of the comrades in the company.
After all, raising wages means raising costs.
The cost increase is definitely beneficial to her in the long run!
Suppose that when they were just starting out and produced "Phobia" with a cost of 2 million, she had 10 million to invest, was it a sure loss?
Suppose that when they made their first appearance in Asia and produced "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" with a cost of 50 million, she had 500 million to invest, was it a sure loss?
For another example, when they first became an **** developer and produced "Titanfall" with a cost of 170 million, they had 1.7 billion to invest. Was it a guaranteed loss?
You must know that the growth rate and breadth of the market are limited.
So theoretically, as long as her investment is large enough, her profits cannot catch up with her losses.
Give an extreme example.
Suppose I invest 5 billion in a game now, priced at 500 yuan, exclusive to Yiyu x2, and the system gives the longest basic rebate settlement time, which lasts for one month.
Sell it.
Even if I, the King of Heaven, come over, it will not be able to return to its origins!
Because the current global sales of Yiyu x2 are only a few million units!
To make money back, this game needs to sell at least 10 million copies!
so!
Increasing wages and raising costs is definitely a road to loss!
If you can’t lose money!
It means that the cost investment is not enough!
Salary increase is imperative!
Originally, Shen Miaomiao was still thinking of a reason to mention this matter.
And now!
Coincidentally, Comella betrayed his trust, and Lao Gu took out his salary to instigate rebellion against the two generals!
It’s a good time!
This adjustment!
The first is to increase future project budgets and pave the way for losing money!
Secondly, it is to win people's hearts and make the two "surrendering generals" who came all the way from Nehong die!
The third step is to organize the company internally, enhance cohesion, and prepare for the sprint to enter the [Billion Club]!
Kill three eagles with one stone!
Wonderful joy! Gu Sheng made a profit! Yuki Sato is overjoyed! The golden wind joins forces to sprint! Everyone is very satisfied! Peace of mind!
Then the question comes—
Who is in a hurry?
