Chapter 99 We are all Mr. Gu’s people! (Sixth update, 16,000 words, please vote for me!)
Zhou Yang nodded: "So, this is what I have never been able to figure out before!
“This problem has troubled me for a long time, and it almost drove me crazy!
“You tell me that I am a good game designer, but the gameplay I have designed with all my brains is not as effective as an accidental BUG. This can easily make me question the value of my existence...
“But today, I finally understand!
“In the final analysis, Mr. Gu’s words don’t count! He is just a senior worker, and above him, there is a stupid investor who likes to point fingers!"
Zhao Haiquan was startled and quickly lowered his voice: "Hush! It''s not easy to talk about this kind of thing! How do you know that investor is a fool?"
Zhou Yang said: "That''s why I didn''t use chat software to tell you about this matter. This kind of thing really cannot be discussed in a big way.
“Didn’t Mr. Gu just give a hint?
“But if we combine the known conditions, it is not difficult to deduce this conclusion?
“Look, Mr. Gu said that this investor has a unique concept for his own idea and does not accept other people’s suggestions at all. Moreover, our company’s games are all based on this investor’s idea from beginning to end.
“Look, isn’t this investor the kind of game company leader we hate the most? Not only do laymen command experts, but he also likes to teach players how to play games!
“What are those ideas? How do you feel after the design draft is written? Isn’t that just a disgusting player? They are deliberately going against the players. If the players enjoy the game, they won’t design it!
“Are there few such people? There are many in the game industry! And they are all still alive and well. This is enough to prove that games do not cause violence, otherwise they can live for so long?”
Zhao Haiquan realized something: "I understand what you mean, I seem to connect them all!
“Why does Mr. Gu want to put bugs into the game?
“Because he signed a contract of sale with this investor at the beginning, the investor actually has the final say in the company. But this investor doesn’t understand games, and he likes to give random orders, and the games he designs are like a mess.
“Mr. Gu wanted to make changes, but the investors didn’t take his suggestions at all, so Mr. Gu had no choice but to add bugs to the game!”
Zhou Yang nodded: "Yes, that''s it!"
Zhao Haiquan still has questions: "But our game has made money! Can investors still have trouble with money? This investor should pay more attention to Mr. Gu and give him more say, right?"
Zhou Yang shook his head: "What you said is the thought of a normal person, not the thought of an idiot leader!
“Perhaps this investor will not only not be happy, but even be angry with Mr. Gu!
"Yes, no one will struggle with money, but what does the success of the game mean? It means that the investor''s design idea is wrong. It''s just a mess. The investors must have seen what the players complained about at the beginning. Moreover, the reason why the game became popular was not the original design, but BUG.
“Do you think this investor can be happy with his paranoid character? Can he admit his mistakes?
"This investor will only feel that the original design is fine, and the game will only become more popular without bugs. Therefore, after repeated bugs appear, this investor will not only not feel lucky, but will be very angry, thinking that Mr. Gu is incompetent. These bugs were not detected!
“Don’t doubt it, that’s how idiots think.
“We have all been struggling in the workplace for so many years. Do you think this is the case?”
Zhao Haiquan nodded sincerely: "Indeed!"
After some analysis, the situation became increasingly clear.
?Even the bugs in the game have more reasonable explanations.
Zhou Yang continued: "So, now it seems to be a question-asking session, but in fact, it is a standing-in-line session!
“We only have two choices.
“Either stand with the CEO or the investors!”
Zhao Haiquan nodded again: "Indeed!"
Why are investors here? Do you want to praise everyone? That''s certainly impossible.
Otherwise, there is no need to talk one-on-one, and there is no need for Mr. Gu to vaccinate everyone in advance and let everyone take a day to think about what they want to say.
Investors are here to track down BUG issues!
Obviously, this investor does not feel that there is anything wrong with his design at all, but feels that these non-design bugs are holding him back.
So, I want to find evidence that Mr. Gu is causing trouble through one-on-one conversations.
?Has Mr. Gu caused any trouble? Such as pounding.
?From an objective point of view, these bugs must have been fixed by him; but from a subjective point of view, these bugs are the cornerstone of the fun of the game and the source of everyone’s bonuses!
If a game runs entirely on bugs, then it is not a bug, but a core mechanism.
??If a company is completely run by insiders, then this is not an insider, but a minister who has a lot of money and is the stronghold of the country!
??If Zhou Yang tells his guess, then even without any evidence, the investor will inevitably increase his suspicion of Mr. Gu.
At that time, maybe Mr. Gu will not be allowed to touch the code? Or more seriously, just change the CEO?
This is possible!
So, this is a question of taking sides, and only one person can take sides. And once you stand firm, it means completely breaking with the other side.
?So the question is, who will everyone choose to stand for? Isn’t this nonsense? Who else can stand?
?Who makes the game fun?
?Who makes the game Nitian continue to develop?
?Who gave generous bonuses to all employees?
Whose food do we eat and whose clothes do we wear?
?Of course it means eating Mr. Gu’s food and wearing Mr. Gu’s clothes! Without Mr. Gu, the game would not be able to make money, and we would still be begging for food with a basic salary of several thousand yuan per month!
??On one side is fame and fortune, on the other side is loss of fame and fortune. Even if you ask a kindergarten child to choose, he can''t make the wrong choice!
There is no stronger relationship in the world than interests, so Mr. Gu’s 188,000 bonus is the strongest relationship with employees.
The two looked at each other and confirmed one thing.
Even if the sky falls, it is still a BUG and has absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Gu!
“Even…”
Zhou Yang has a new idea: “In the future, we can also secretly add bugs to the game!
“Isn’t it just a matter of moving a few lines of code?
“Brother Haiquan, you are the background program. Let’s talk to Brother Dahui again. Isn’t it simple for you two programmers to join forces and fix a bug?
“Of course, how to plug this specifically needs to be considered in the long term, and it will definitely not work if it is too obvious and can be seen at a glance.
“But no matter what, Mr. Gu is carrying the burden all by himself, protecting us from the wind and rain. Not only does he have to deal with stupid investors and carry alone, but he also generously gives us such a cent...
“Then we have to do something! We can’t get such a high bonus in vain!”
Zhao Haiquan nodded seriously: "Indeed!!"
Soon, the two completely reached an agreement.
But just two people are not enough. What if other people also suspect the bug, but don''t think about it further, and accidentally sell Mr. Gu?
So, you must continue to ventilate!
Of course, in the process of ventilation, you must also pay attention to methods and methods. You must first test the other party''s attitude, and then give some guidance, and do not expose the core secrets all at once.
?? Back to the company in the afternoon, Zhou Yang and Zhao Haiquan went their separate ways and invited company employees to a secluded area on the first floor to talk.
Overall, it’s going very well!
Obviously, this is directly related to Gu Fan’s previous bonus distribution model.
To put it bluntly, this model has two points: first, excess! Second, inclusive!
The so-called excess means that everyone received a bonus that far exceeded their contribution.
?The so-called universal benefit means that everyone from the management to the grassroots level is treated equally, and the grassroots level also gets a lot.
?For example, the three testers, although they only completed their assigned work, received the first bonus of 47,000 yuan.
And that was only the first reissued bonus. After that, "Fire Thief" was developed for two months, and additional bonuses were given out at the end of each month. Although the game''s sales dropped rapidly later, the bonus also shrank, but the increase Together, even ordinary testers can get a bonus of 120,000 to 30,000 yuan!
??If it is only given to the top management, it is inevitable that there will be some complaints from the grassroots. Then it will not be so easy for Zhou Yang and Zhao Haiquan to get everyone on the same boat.
But now, this bonus distribution is just right.
?Everyone feels that they have received too much, and everyone knows very clearly that following Mr. Gu, they will eat hot and spicy food, and betraying Mr. Gu, they will eat braised vegetables!
Then it is not difficult to guess what choice they will make.
?In this way, after a busy afternoon, everyone in the company has a high degree of unity of thought.
…
At 6 o''clock in the evening, everyone had had dinner in advance and was waiting for the investor''s arrival.
“Let me introduce to you, this is the investor of our company, you can call her Mr. Li.” Gu Fan introduced.
Everyone said in unison: "Good morning, Mr. Li!"
Zhou Yang looked Lilith up and down, his expression becoming serious.
?Such a young investor... his reincarnation skills are very high!
??Moreover, how come you look like a non-mainstream person? No, that''s not right. Non-mainstream is not this style. Strictly speaking, it should be a bad girl, right?
Anyway, it perfectly fits the stereotype that Zhou Yang guessed before.
Must be a layman who doesn’t understand the game! He must be a brat with a bad temper and can''t listen to suggestions!
It is really not easy for Mr. Gu to tolerate such an investor for so long and keep wiping her design plan.
?But don’t worry, Mr. Gu, from today on you will not be fighting alone. All the employees of Nitiantian Games will stand behind you and fight to the end against this evil investor who wants to destroy the game industry!
Lilith looked around at everyone and felt something was wrong.
Why do you seem to be being rejected by the company''s atmosphere?
?But she doesn''t care, after all, the company is hers, and whoever she wants to get out must get out. The identity of the superior is here, so what is there to worry about?
“I want to talk to you alone, starting with you.”
?Lilith pointed to a tester in the corner and called him downstairs to question him alone.
About ten minutes later, another person went down.
But no matter who is coming up or who is going down, they will exchange looks, and their eyes are full of determination.
Lilith kept asking questions from six o''clock until after eight o''clock, and she had begun to deeply doubt life.
That’s strange, there really aren’t any clues?
?Is that really a BUG? None of the company''s employees found any problems?
The game hasn’t been written yet, so don’t say it’s not fun or not just after you’ve seen it halfway through… Can’t you say no after you’ve finished reading it? I''m already working **** coding. The prototype of this game is Fatal Company + Palu + Mist Lock Kingdom.
