Chapter 63 Three Level Standards
?Gu Fan looked at the date. Today is July 2nd.
"The Legend of Wolong" was released on June 30, and Nitiantian Games just paid June''s salary on June 28.
?Of course, except for Su Tong, an old employee who was directly involved in the development of "Sisyphus" and "Heaven Cube" and received bonuses, other new employees received basic salaries.
Of course, Gu Fan knows this very well: "Normally, wages and bonuses should be paid on the 26th of this month.
“But considering that this is the first game that everyone has made money after joining the company, I decided to reissue the bonus after the first income of "Destiny Wolong Legend" is received this Friday.
“After that, wages and bonuses will be paid on the last Friday of every month.”
Xiao Mingyu nodded quickly: "Okay, Mr. Gu!"
?At this time, she was already a little shocked. Can the boss be so anxious about giving out bonuses? Can’t even wait a month?
Mr. Gu’s thinking is really unique and unique.
“So, what is the specific standard for payment? 10%?” Xiao Mingyu asked.
She also has a certain understanding of the game industry. She knows that for most game companies, spending 10% of their profits as bonuses to employees is very generous and rare in the industry.
As for the other money?
The majority of the money will definitely have to be invested in new projects, and the remaining money will either be used for company operations and welfare, or the boss will put it into his own pocket.
??Gu Fan said seriously: "This is easy to calculate, please remember it.
"25% of the net profit of each game is used for the company''s operating expenses. This money is mainly used in two aspects: the first is the bonus of all employees involved in the development of the game, and the second is the company''s daily expenses and benefits. Such as rent, office computers, etc.
“Remember, 25%, you can’t go wrong.”
Xiao Mingyu was speechless and confused.
She was speechless because, as a top student in the Department of Finance at Teito University, could a simple 25% calculation be wrong? Mr. Gu doesn''t even need to emphasize this kind of thing.
The reason why it is puzzling is why it must be such a very accurate figure of 25%? Can''t it float up or down at all?
?Seeing Xiao Mingyu''s expression, Gu Fan couldn''t explain too much.
What could he say? Because the contract I signed with Lilith said 25%? That''s outrageous.
?This thing can''t float. If the float leads to a default, it''s all over and I won''t be able to see the sun tomorrow.
In short, Xiao Mingyu silently wrote it down: "Okay, 25%, I remember it.
“So Mr. Gu, how should the first expenditure and the second expenditure be allocated?
“My personal understanding is that the second item should be ensured first, that is, after deducting the company’s daily expenses and welfare measures for employees, the remainder can be used for the first item, which is to pay bonuses to everyone, right?
“So should we consider improving the company’s office environment and employee benefits?
“After all, our company is currently considered a company with a monthly turnover of at least several million, so it’s a bit strange to still be stuck in a coffee shop.”
??Gu Fan shook his head: "Wrong! You said it wrong.
"The first priority is to ensure that you give employees as much bonus as possible. As for the company''s daily expenses and employee benefits...the more you can save, the better! As for how much you can save...it depends on you, the financial director. It''s up to you.
“Of course, such savings must be within the scope permitted by law.”
Xiao Mingyu was shocked again: "Huh?"
??Gu Fan didn''t really like her inexperienced look: "Ah, what, let''s just take it this way."
The current profit brought by "Destiny Wolong Legend" to Nitiantian Games is 3.27 million. Calculated based on 25%, that is 817,500.
Assuming that there are no employee benefits and daily expenses are calculated according to the current minimum standards, the rent on the second floor of this cafe is only 5,000 yuan per month... As for the employees’ office computers, they have been bought before. There is no need to upgrade or replace within a certain period of time.
?Doesn’t that mean that at least 800,000 can be used to pay bonuses to employees?
Xiao Mingyu felt that her CPU was a little burned out, not because the numbers were too complicated, but because the way the money was spent was too magical.
?Gu Fan continued: "As for the specific amount of each employee''s salary...
"In this way, we simply divide employees into three different "contribution grades" based on their contribution. "The third grade is the "diligence grade", which means those who have completed their jobs in a down-to-earth manner like an old scalper.
"The second level is the "core level", which is responsible for the core work of development or important business of the company. The team leaders of several major departments are included in this level, or ordinary employees with outstanding work achievements can also be counted. In this file.
“The first level is the ‘special level’, which plays a special role in the popularity of the game, such as the video of Su Tong’s five consecutive dragons flapping their wings.
“For special stalls, there must be at least one person.
“The bonus coefficient for the diligent level is 1, the bonus coefficient for the core level is 2, and the bonus coefficient for the special level is 4.
“Calculating based on this coefficient, all the money will be distributed. There are currently a total of nine employees in the company, including me.”
?This algorithm is very clear. Xiao Mingyu quickly went through it, but found new problems in the process.
?The best thing to calculate is obviously the "core file". It may be because the company is currently relatively small, so the number of people in this group is the largest. Test team leader Su Tong, art team leader Guo Hongyu, and financial director Xiao Mingyu all undoubtedly fall into this category.
But what about the two programmers, Feng Hui and Zhao Haiquan, and the executive planner Zhou Yang?
?Who is the program leader? Who is the planning team leader?
Strictly speaking, none of them are, because it is Gu Fan who leads the program development and submits the plan. Feng Hui and Zhao Haiquan can only be regarded as ordinary senior programmers, and Zhou Yang can only be called a standard handyman. plan.
Would it be a bit far-fetched to count the three of them as core players?
But then again, Xiao Mingyu felt that it was quite far-fetched to calculate the core salary for herself. After all, as a financial director, she basically didn''t do much work. At most, she only paid everyone a basic salary. The company did not purchase or anything else. business activities.
She already gets a salary of more than 20,000 yuan a month. She feels a little embarrassed to get another bonus.
But to put it this way, Guo Hongyu, the art team leader, doesn’t seem to have done much work...
Perhaps the only one who is not controversial is the three testers.
They must be on the lowest "diligence level".
??But if it were placed in other companies, they wouldn''t even be able to get this level. After all, the testers'' job is to find bugs, and they didn''t even test out the major bug "Wolongce Nesting".
??Although this BUG turned out to be a benign bug and made the game make money, that is not a reason to reward them!
??Xiao Mingyu also didn''t expect that he, the financial director, would encounter difficulties in a place like this.
The financial directors of other companies try their best to deduct the bonuses that everyone deserves in a reasonable way.
?It would be better for her to find ways to give out the undeserved bonuses in an unreasonable way?
This is outrageous!
After a moment of silence, Xiao Mingyu said with some difficulty: "Mr. Gu, to be fair, you account for at least 80% of the success of this game, so even if no bonus is given, I think it is quite reasonable...
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to flatter you, I’m just telling the truth…”
??Xiao Mingyu felt that her speech was a bit too scablike at this time, but that was the fact!
?Gu Fan chuckled and said nothing.
Do you think I don’t want to keep all the money in my own pocket? But that **** Lilith is dead in the contract and I can only get 5%. Even if I save money, it doesn’t make any sense! Might as well send it out and use the money to buy a favor.
How much of these favors can be recovered from employees? Then just let it go, it''s better than staying in Lilith''s company anyway.
?Thinking of this, Gu Fan made a decision directly.
“Let’s do this, Su Tong, you, Feng Hui, Zhao Haiquan, Guo Hongyu, Zhou Yang, you team leaders are all calculated according to the second level.
“Three testers are counted as the third level.
“As for the first slot this time...if I have to give it to one person, let it be given to Zhao Haiquan.
“He is responsible for the training of fake-AI, and he is trying his best, otherwise it may not have such good results.
“Calculate how much it costs per person.”
