Chapter 147 These were purchased by employees at their own expense (second update)
Lilith smiled slightly: "If you want to make money while meeting these conditions, it will of course be quite difficult.
“But all I want is negative emotions. It doesn’t matter whether the game makes money or not. This shouldn’t be difficult, right? It can even be said to be quite simple.
“Or do you have other ideas?”
Gu Fan quickly shook his head: "No! Absolutely not!"
“Okay, let me try.”
Lilith was very satisfied with Gu Fan''s attitude: "Very good! You humans have a saying that he who knows the current affairs is a hero. Gu Fan, you have never let me down. You are very aware of the current affairs."
“Then I’ll be waiting for your good news.
“Considering that this is your first time designing a game by yourself, I’ll give you a little more time.
“Well, let me think about it...just five days!”
?Among the current employees of Nitiantian, the art team leader Guo Hongyu is barely qualified for this job, but only barely.
Lilith thought for a while: "Well...this is indeed a problem.
…
After Lilith finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.
“But if you can give a very accurate concept drawing and let them follow it, then it should be fine.”
October 17th, Thursday.
“If it’s just a verbal description, it’s definitely not going to work.
The conceptual design of the original painting will directly determine the style of a game. If you want to stand out, you cannot make do with it.
Lilith nodded: "Yes, yes, it''s up to you to decide."
Guo Hongyu’s main work lies in resource management and 3D models. He can also do original paintings, but he is not particularly outstanding.
Lilith said with a straight face: "What happened in five days? If I were allowed to do it, I would be able to come up with three design plans!
“If we don’t do a Western fantasy theme this time, can the art team in Hell be able to complete other themes?
??Gu Fan quickly stopped her: "Wait a moment, Mr. Li, I have another question.
…
It seems that we have to find another candidate.
“Submit the completed design plan in five days. It must be full of details and cannot fool me with a simple concept draft.
??Gu Fan was confused: "Take the young master? Five days??
“Designing a game in five days? Mr. Li, are you kidding me?”
“Suppose I put forward an art request for an Eastern fairy tale theme, is that OK?”
??Gu Fan thought for a while: "That means that I need to recruit a concept artist in the human world, produce a few concept drawings, and then let the art team in **** complete all the art resources."
“Okay, it’s settled!”
“It seems that most of the people in this group are ancient Western painters and sculptors.
??The relocation work of Nitiantian has been completed.
The move actually lasted just over a day, but we still had to decorate the villa afterwards, so it took nearly three more days.
At this time, I finally settled down completely. Except for a few large items that have not yet arrived, everything has been completely settled.
?Among these villas, Gu Fan chose two villas that were relatively empty and had few furniture for collective working, and designated workstations for everyone in the living room.
As for office desks, chairs, and office computers, Gu Fan was not prepared at all.
Let everyone watch and buy for themselves and that’s it!
Anyway, the money that should have been used to rent venues and purchase equipment has been distributed as bonuses, and everyone can use it as they wish.
?If you are willing to make do, buy cost-effective tables and chairs; if you have higher requirements, buy a high-end height-adjustable desk, ergonomic chair or a top-of-the-line computer.
Before moving, everyone had already decided on the configuration that they were satisfied with. After the move, these things were delivered directly to the door and everyone assembled them.
At this time, this villa does not look like a normal residence, but rather like an Internet cafe or an e-sports base.
??Gu Fan is currently typing on the keyboard frantically, writing a design plan!
??There was no way Lilith had given him just five days, which meant he had to hand it in this weekend.
??Gu Fan felt that his brain was overheated and his keyboard was almost smoking.
Finally it came to an end, and just as he was about to take a drink of water, Xiao Mingyu came over.
“Mr. Gu, I said before that the game business group of Shengjing Group would send people to inspect and communicate, and they should be here soon.
“This time they should have about ten people here, all of whom are key personnel who are more interested in our company. It seems that Kang Yong, the group vice president in charge of the game business group, will also come.”
? Gu Fan nodded: "I know." Shengjing Group had called in advance a few days ago. After all, it is a large company, and it is certainly impossible to arrange such an event on an impromptu basis.
?At that time, Xiao Mingyu asked for permission, but Gu Fan didn''t think much and agreed casually.
Anyway, I’m just here to take a look, so don’t delay.
By the way, it also allows employees to get to know and communicate with industry elites, which is not a bad thing.
?Others don’t care and continue to do their own thing.
About half an hour later, two commercial vehicles parked in front of the villa.
“Mr. Kang, this way.”
Assistant Zhao led everyone to the villa. Xiao Mingyu had been waiting at the door for a long time. After a few brief greetings, he led everyone into the villa.
??Gu Fan was waiting in the villa. After seeing Kang Yong, he briefly shook hands with him.
Kang Yong looked at his surroundings and frowned slightly.
Actually, before coming here, he had already briefly learned about it from Assistant Zhao and knew that Nitiantian Game had recently moved, from the former small shabby cafe to a villa area.
But at that time, Kang Yong didn''t ask much. He thought there would be shops and the like in the villa area, which could be used as an office area.
At first glance, it turns out that it is just a villa?
?It seems that although Mr. Gu is young, he does have two brushes. How can he save money on this? That''s it, the employees have no complaints?
Okay, today I will open my eyes and learn how to draw cakes, oh no, management knowledge.
?Following him are basically some key members of the Shengjing Group’s game business group, including programmers, artists, and planners, and most of them belong to different game project groups.
Because there are several companies available for inspection today, everyone works separately and goes to whichever company they are interested in.
?Among these people, some are really interested, while others simply choose with their eyes closed and come inexplicably.
?But they are industry insiders after all, and they have all heard of the game Against Heaven.
The last person to get out of the business car was a cute girl wearing round black-rimmed glasses. She looked a bit like she had not woken up. She looked plain from head to toe without any eye-catching decorations.
“Xiaoxia, catch up quickly.”
Someone said hello, and she followed over in small steps.
Xiao Mingyu began to give a brief introduction to everyone.
“Currently, we at Nitiantian are roughly divided into two groups. One is the core design group, which is where we are currently. The people in charge of design, art, testing, and finance are basically here.
“There is also the regular development and testing team, which is in another villa, where the other programmers and testers of our company are.”
In fact, there is not much to introduce. There are only a few things about the game Nitiantian, which can be said in a few words.
??Gu Fan smiled: "The conditions of our company are relatively simple, and they are definitely not comparable to those of big companies. You can sit down wherever you want and don''t feel restricted.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
??The living room of the villa has been transformed, and the long dining table has been turned into a conference table. After everyone sat down, they didn''t know where to start.
??What Kang Yong wants to ask most at this time is: Mr. Gu, how on earth do you make these employees so determined even when their salaries are so low? Are there any management tips you can impart?
But on this occasion, in front of everyone, I feel a little embarrassed.
I originally thought there would be an opportunity to have a private chat with Mr. Gu, but it seems that Mr. Gu has no intention of arranging this session?
?Thinking of this, Kang Yong winked at Assistant Zhao, suggesting that he should think about a few questions for a while, not to be silent, and to change the topic naturally.
Assistant Zhao immediately understood and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, I think the office conditions of your company seem to be very good.
“Height-adjustable desks, ergonomic chairs, and high-end computers, these should all be expensive, right?”
It is indeed a bit difficult for Manager Zhao. This is one of the few bright spots he has seen after coming in.
? As a top company in the industry, Shengjing Group’s office conditions are of course excellent. It has its own headquarters building, which is magnificent and has a water bar and entertainment room on each floor, and the workstations are spacious enough.
Even the canteens on each floor are larger than the office areas of most companies.
? Such conditions make countless people envious, and many people regard entering Shengjing Group as their ultimate pursuit in the workplace.
Comparatively speaking, although working in a villa is much better than working in a cafe, it is still not very good after all.
??Gu Fan nodded: "Oh, these are all brought by the employees. I don''t know exactly how much they cost."
?This time it was Assistant Zhao''s turn to be dumbfounded.
“Huh? Did you bring it with you?”
He looked at the workstations in the living room again and found that indeed, everyone’s desk and chair were different!
Assistant Zhao didn''t pay attention before, but only saw the position closest to the door, which is Zhou Yang''s workstation. The lift table and ergonomic chair are very beautiful, the high-end host has full lighting effects, and the three 4K display screens are arranged almost like a control room. , and subconsciously assume that other people are like this too.
But obviously not!
Kang Yong was even more awe-struck.
?Hey guys, do employees prepare office supplies for work at their own expense? Even office desks, chairs and computers are paid for at your own expense?
This is awesome!
