Losing Money to Be a Chapter 489 - Crowdfund to Make a Game

Chapter 489 Crowdfund to Make a Ga

April 18th, Monday...

The matter of the Secret Service had been handed over to Little Tang. He had no idea what kind of people she would find.

There were many departnts in Tengda now. They would need at least a dozen people even if each departnt were to have one Manage Loss Trainee. It was impossible to get so many of them in a hurry.

Pei Qian’s request was to gather everyone before next Saturday. That was so that he could hold a secret eting on Saturday, when no one else was there, to arrange their work. There was a slight sense of mystery to it.

Pei Qian slept until he woke up naturally today. He ca to the office after eating to show his face.

A knock from outside the door happened before he could open the Aili Island website to watch his drama.

“Eh?”

Pei Qian could not help but frown. What was so urgent?

This person had obviously been waiting outside for quite so ti since he knocked two minutes after he entered the office.

“Enter.”

Hu Xianbin pushed the door open.

“What’s wrong? Is there sothing wrong with the developnt of Struggle?” Pei Qian could not help but harbor so expectations in his heart.

Hu Xianbin shook his head. “No, the developnt of Struggle has been rather smooth. It’s regarding GOG!”

Pei Qian could not help but feel bothered.

On the one hand, it was because Struggle was developing well. On the other hand, Hu Xianbin was still worried about GOG. That was rather inconsistent with the Tengda spirit.

Pei Qian coughed lightly. “There is no need to tell

about GOG. There is sothing wrong with your thinking about work.

“The energy of a human is limited. You can only do one thing at one ti. How can you manage the developnt of Struggle and operate GOG at the sa ti? “Hurry relinquish GOG’s operations.”

Hu Xianbin was an R&D staff mber in the second half of GOG. He was responsible for the launch of the mobile ga version. He was very familiar with the GOG project.

Pei Qian got Hu Xianbin to be responsible for Struggle, so that he would no longer be bothered about the operations of GOG. As a result, he was trying to do both jobs together. That was simply too much.

Hu Xianbin was slightly shocked. “Uh, Okay Boss Pei, I’ll delegate the entire work to Min Jingchao. However... I do have sothing urgent to report regarding the GOG project!”

Pei Qian nodded. “Um, continue.”

Hu Xianbin seed very urgent. “Boss Pei, I hope you can make an exception to urgently recruit so people for Tengda Gas’ gaming departnt!”

Pei Qian frowned. Make an exception? Urgently recruit so people? Bro, that’s a very dangerous thought!

Tengda had a bi-annual recruitnt drive in May and November. It was set at such timing to avoid the peak recruitnt season. The recruitnt process was relatively cumberso, and so it required enough ti for new employees to go through resignation procedures and handover work. The actual entry would only be one month later.

However, Pei Qian looked at the date and realized that it was already April 18th. What was so urgent at GOG that they could not hold out for a month?

There was definitely sothing wrong here!

Pei Qian attached great importance to it in his heart, but he still asked calmly on the surface. “What is the rush for recruitnt?”

“Boss Pei, IOI wants to engage in an ‘arms race’ with us. GOG’s project is now in urgent need of manpower expansion. Otherwise, our first-mover advantage would be lost!”

Pei Qian could not help but be delighted. He did not know what an ‘arms race’ ant here, but he was very clear on one point: Lin Wan made her move!

The dostic server for IOI should be almost ready by now. A series of publicity strategies should be formulated, and they’re ready to start from the GOG market.

He did not know how Hu Xianbin obtained the news. However, considering that Tengda Gas and Shang Yang Gas were brother divisions, it was not surprising that they would obtain information from certain channels.

Pei Qian smiled with anticipation. “Really? Tell

about it.”

Hu Xianbin hurriedly replied, “The strategy at IOI is to win by volu. They are desperately updating with two new heroes every month according to the current plan. That is too fast!

“We have slightly fewer heroes in GOG than in IOI. However, it is still within an acceptable range.

“We will definitely be left behind if we were to update a new hero once every two months. GOG will be able to obtain the advantage, and we will be gone!”

Pei Qian nodded his head at the criticisms.

Great, both Finger Gas and Lin Wan were very reliable, eh! The scenario still panned out like how it should in my imagination. I really have no other qualms.

Pei Qian’s expression beca calr and lighter. “Therefore, you want to recruit more people to compete in speed?”

Hu Xianbin nodded. “Yes, we have no reason to lose to them in speed! Whoever can update faster would be able to better maintain the stickiness of the players and the overall popularity of the ga. The advantage in this respect is too great! “Whoever can prevail now shall win. GOG will absolutely not give in!”

Pei Qian was silent for a mont. “I don’t agree with your views.

“It’s definitely not possible to recruit in advance. I do not recomnd for the gaming departnt to recruit too many people even in the recruitnt drive next month.”

Hu Xianbin was stunned. “W-why?”

Pei Qian leaned back in his big boss chair and said seriously. “Manpower should be of quality, not quantity. “With more manpower, the speed of generating ideas would increase, and you would have more ideas. This seems like a good thing.

“However, having more people might be either a treasure chest or shackles. Don’t just try to use clumsy overwhelming tactics once you run into problems. That will limit your thinking and obliterate your inspiration.

“In short, don’t hire too many people.” Hu Xianbin was a little anxious. “But Boss Pei...”

Pei Qian emphasized again. “Don’t hire too many people.” Hu Xianbin had nothing else to say. He did not dare to let Boss Pei repeat a third ti. He could only sigh and quietly exit the office.

Pei Qian gave a satisfied smile.

Lin Wan, I can only help you to this point. You have to hurry to accomplish your mission!

Hu Xianbin returned to his desk and sat down dejectedly upstairs.

Min Jingchao quickly ca over, seeing Hu Xianbin return. “How did it go? Did Boss Pei

agree?”

Hu Xianbin shook his head. “No, Boss Pei rejected.”

Min Jingchao was taken aback. “Rejected? Impossible! Boss Pei had always been generous to the various expenses of the company. How could he reject the recruitnt of a few new designers? This is really strange.”

Hu Xianbin sighed. “Sigh. I don’t know what Boss Pei is thinking either, but he had a really firm attitude. He said that not only can we not make an exception for early recruitnt, but we will also not be able to recruit too many people a month later.”

Min Jingchao frowned, obviously at a loss. “How could Boss Pei say sothing like this for no reason? Did he say anything else? Usually, there would be so hidden clues in Boss Pei’s words.”

Hu Xianbin tried his best to recall. “Let

think...

“He seed to say sothing like having more people might be either a treasure chest or a shackle. But this sentence does not seem to have any profound aning to it...

“Should we seek Brother Bao and Big Sister Li’s advice?”

Min Jingchao shook his head. “I think it is better not to push all the questions that require analysis to Brother Bao. It is a necessary skill to read and understand Boss Pei in Tengda. We have to train in it as well.”

Hu Xianbin gave it so thought. “That’s true, but what Boss Pei said this ti really does not seem to have any aning to it. I don’t have a clue at all.”

Min Jingchao frowned, lost in thoughts. His brows relaxed slightly after a short while.

“From the original point of view, this sentence ans that every designer would have different ideas. More people can indeed provide different perspectives and ideas, but having so many angles and ideas would trap us and beco shackled.

“Others’ perspectives and ideas would conversely limit your thinking. Your ideas will limit others’ thinking in the sa way. If everyone were to do their own thing, it would drag each other down and reduce efficiency. “Therefore, creating new heroes for GOG is a tiring job, but it is also a technical job that requires continuous creative production. The key here is not how many people we have, but if the main designer can accurately control the direction of the ga.

“No matter the number of designers we hire, only one person should be calling the shots and unifying the style. At the sa ti, that person should be making the overall planning balance. Otherwise, the ga would beco a stitched-up monster.”

Hu Xianbin was no stranger to this way of interpretation, and he imdiately understood it. “Yes, it makes sense! However, that does not solve the problem.

“The ability of everyone to generate the idea is limited. If there are too few people, then there will not be enough ideas. You can do the overall planning, but you still need people to provide inspiration and design new heroes.”

Min Jingchao pondered for a slightly longer ti. He only slowly opened his mouth after so ti. “It seed like it wasn’t necessarily the case.

“Everyone has limited inspiration and ideas. That is true, but not only designers can provide inspiration and design new heroes.

“Boss Pei expressed a type of dialectical thinking. He did not deny the power of a large number of people. His words were ‘could either be a treasure chest or shackles’. We have only analyzed the shackles part but not the treasure part.

“How can the wisdom of designers be matched up to the wisdom of the majority of the players? “Designers are only a small treasure chest; players make up the large chest! “Boss Pei did not allow us to recruit more designers because it was inefficient and would not solve the fundantal problem.

“In other words, we can also let the players participate in GOG’s hero design!

“So what if IOI could develop the heroes in no ti? Inspiration and ideas would be inexhaustible if players’ enthusiasm could be fully mobilized!”

Hu Xianbin suddenly realized. “That makes sense! Boss Pei actually had such a aning?

“Indeed, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the players and letting them provide the ideas and contents. Our designers will only need to be responsible for screening, modification, and balancing. It would solve this problem perfectly!”

Min Jingchao stood up suddenly. “I’m going to make an activity plan!”

Pei Qian watched so drama for a while after Hu Xianbin left. He looked at the ti. It was already three in the afternoon.

“I haven’t seen Old Ma for a while. I’ll head to Dream Realization Ventures for a while.”

Pei Qian just rembered about it. He wanted to go to Dream Realization Ventures to ask Old Ma about the projects that he was optimistic about, but he was so busy that it slipped his mind.

The weather today was just fine to head out. He would also be able to understand the current situation with Old Ma and Dream Realization Ventures.

Pei Qian told Old Ma previously to let him know imdiately once he found a suitable project. However, Old Ma seed to have made no movent even after so long. Pei Qian could not help but feel bothered. What the hell was the b*stard Ma Yang busy with?

He was not worried about Ma Yang lazing around and spending money in secret. That was because Pei Qian had requested that all investnts in Dream Realization Ventures had to be approved by him after the previous venture into Finger Gas.

Dream Realization Ventures must not have spent a single cent if no one had asked for instructions.

Here was the question then. What was he doing if Ma Yang was not spending any money?
