Chapter 97 Going Home
Liu Kun stayed at Sentinel Company all day, chatting with others very well.
In addition to playing various games, Liu Kun also visited the engine developed by Mr. Qin and was immediately amazed after using it.
Liu Kun is in the research and development field, and he naturally understands how useful the Sentinel engine is.
Especially the performance in 3D, with complete functions and stunning effects, it is not inferior to the top foreign engines.
When it comes to game design, Mr. Qin is very easy to talk about. He clearly explains the pros and cons of various gameplay designs, and he is very familiar with the domestic and foreign game markets.
With such a boss who understands design, is generous, and truly loves games, Liu Kun feels like he has met a wise master, and he can't wait to surrender on the spot.
Although Liu Kun does not compare himself to Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, Boss Qin is like Uncle Liu Huang, a rare good boss.
After dinner, Qin Shaoyan and Hong Fei personally put the reluctant Liu Kun into the car.
Liu Kun said excitedly, "Mr. Qin, as soon as I get to work after the new year, I will move the pixels over and sign the contract on the spot."
"Ah." Qin Shaoyan comforted, "There's no need to be so anxious."
"No, we have to sign the contract on the spot." Liu Kun grabbed Qin Shaoyan's hand and said seriously, "Mr. Qin, you promise me Don’t forget the conditions.”
“Don’t worry, my nickname is Honest and Honest Young Master,” Qin Shaoyan said swornly, “Game for game, I’ll write this condition for you. The first one."
Liu Kun felt relieved, got into a taxi and left.
Hong Fei looked at the car lights in the distance and said with emotion, "Pixel is a really good studio. Mr. Qin can recruit them here, which is even more powerful."
"Of course I know it's true." Qin Shaoyan also breathed a sigh of relief, "Otherwise, why would I have spent so much effort and deceived both my colleagues and Sohu before I succeeded."
Hong Fei said to Mr. Qin that he was lying He didn't pay attention to it, thinking he was joking, and asked curiously: "I heard that Sohu holds a part of Pixel shares. How did you convince them to transfer it to us?"
Qin Shaoyan said calmly: "I and I Mr. He from Sohu said that we would make an online game for them, and in exchange they would give us their pixel shares at a low price.” ? Don’t screw up our game.”
“If you screw up, just screw it up.” Qin Shaoyan said very indifferently, “They can’t blame me if they can’t help themselves.”
"Isn't the price too high?" Hong Fei felt a little distressed, "The cost of making online games is too high. Let's reduce it by 10 million, just to bring trouble to them?"
Qin Shaoyan suddenly smiled, " Then I can change my skin and find another one.”
“Ah?” Hong Fei was stunned, what kind of operation is this?
"The two groups of art start work at the same time, and 30% of the art resources are shared, so the cost will be lower." Qin Shaoyan glanced at Teacher Hong, "There is no need to repaint the surface, just replace a few model ornaments and it will be another one Picture, just change the character and monster model.”
“Teacher Hong, this won’t be too difficult for you, right?”
Hong Fei was completely dumbfounded. Mr. Qin’s operation...
Well, it was quite economical, but it was a bit unethical.
"Mr. Qin, what are you doing..." Hong Fei hesitated, "What if both operations fail?"
"Then the market must be failing." Qin Shaoyan said confidently. Said, "There are too many competing products, the market is saturated, and the operating strategy is wrong."
"What if one of them succeeds?"
"That's why I'm awesome." Qin Shaoyan said plausibly, "The other company has succeeded. Why doesn't the failed one reflect on his own operational capabilities and have he worked hard to improve himself over the years?"
Hong Fei was shocked and blurted out , "Is this okay?"
"When the time comes, just apply for two version numbers and ask Brother Chen for help." Qin Shaoyan sighed with emotion, "There are still benefits to making friends."
< br>Hong Fei nodded and agreed: "It's rare to make friends like you. Sohu is really lucky to work with you in several lifetimes."
"This makes sense." Qin Shaoyan Nodding, "After such a period of growth, maybe they will be enlightened and can enter the right path of spiritual cultivation as soon as possible."
"I have saved them ten years of detours, and they have to thank me." Even Teacher Hong, who has been in the world for many years, doesn't know how to respond to these words.
"Teacher Hong." Qin Shaoyan suddenly said, "We will recruit more people after the new year. We need to recruit people with good skills. Don't worry about money."
"As soon as the venture capital funds from the United States are in place, we will do something big."
"Okay."
......
On January 19, 2004, the Guiwei Year of the Sheep in the lunar calendar is coming to an end in two days.
Except for a few programmers on duty at Sentinel Company, everyone else went home early for vacation.
Early in the morning, Qin Shaoyan led the company's CTO Zhang Pingyi to the company, gave big red envelopes and new year's goods to the left-behind employees, and gave them a few words of encouragement.
Then CTO and Chief Feng Shui Master Zhang Pingyi took out the Spring Festival couplets with the characters "Fu" and pasted them on the door, then used cinnabar to draw talismans on the spot, burned incense and prayed.
Finally, the employees were given two tapes of the Great Compassion Curse and a firecracker recording they had made by themselves, and told them to play it once a day to ensure safety.
If it doesn't work, you can still call Zhang Pingyi, he can do it remotely.
After finally offering incense to the website server and saying goodbye, the two turned and went straight to the airport to go home for the New Year.
After the plane landed in Bingcheng, Qin Shaoyan hired a ride through his classmates and drove on the highway for six hours before finally arriving in his hometown county.
It was getting dark at this time, and Qin Shaoyan walked toward his home with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Amidst the falling snowflakes, the lights of thousands of houses, the rising smoke, and the continuous sound of firecrackers made him smell the smell of the New Year.
In front of the house, my parents stood under the dim street lights, standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks, looking towards the roadside.
Qin Shaoyan ran over excitedly, waved and shouted: "Mom, Dad, I'm back."
"Come in, come in." His mother reached out to take the luggage and patted Qin Shaoyan's clothes. snow.
Dad didn’t say a word and dragged his suitcase through the door first.
"How was it on the road?"
"Why did you come back today?"
"Is the hospital busy?"
"It's been a long time since I called."

My mother kept nagging, concerned about Qin Shaoyan's life outside.
Qin Shaoyan responded very fluently, took off his thick coat after entering the house, sat down on the hot kang, and completely relaxed.
Pull the fruit plate over, randomly select a few candies and a frozen pear, and gnaw on it.
Steam is rising from the kitchen stove, the water in the big pot is boiling, and the white dumplings are rolling out of the pot.
Smelling the alluring aroma, Qin Shaoyan sighed, this is the Chinese New Year.
The old man sitting opposite looked Qin Shaoyan up and down, pulled up his coat and smelled it, then frowned.
"No, you don't smell like a hospital." Dad looked at Qin Shaoyan with suspicion, "Where have you been for the past six months?"
