Chapter 63 Third Level Standard
Gu Fan looked at the date, today is July 2nd.
"The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon" was released on June 30, and Nitiantian Games had 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, the 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 uniformly 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? He can't even wait for a month?
Mr. Gu really has a clear mind. , different.
"So, what is the specific standard for the payment? 10%?" Xiao Mingyu asked.
She also has a certain understanding of the game industry. She knows that for most game companies, using 10% of profits to give bonuses to employees is already very generous and rare in the industry.
As for other money?
The boss will definitely have to invest in new projects. The remaining money will either be used for company operations and welfare, or the boss will stuff 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. For example, rent, office computers, etc.
“Remember, 25% cannot be wrong. ”
Xiao Mingyu was a little speechless and a little confused.
The reason why she was speechless was because, as a top student in the Finance Department of Imperial University, could a simple 25% calculation be wrong? Mr. Gu didn’t have to. Even this kind of thing should be emphasized.
But why is it such a very accurate number?
Seeing Xiao Mingyu's expression, Gu Fan couldn't explain too much.
What can 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 breach of contract, it will be 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, what should be the specific expenses of the first and second expenses? distribute?
"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 rest 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, and it is a bit strange to still be stuck in a cafe.”
Gu Fan shook his head: "Wrong! You said the opposite."
"We must give priority to the first item, that is, first consider giving as many bonuses to employees as possible. As for the company's daily expenses and employee benefits...the more savings, the better! As for how much you can save...it depends on your ability as the financial director.
"Of course, this kind of saving must be within the scope allowed by the law."
Xiao Mingyu was shocked again: "Huh?"
Gu Fan didn't really like her inexperienced look: "Ah, what, let's calculate it this way."
The current profit brought by "The Legend of Wolong" to Nitiantian Games is 3.27 million. Calculated at 25%, that is 817,500.
Assuming that there are no employee benefits and daily expenses are calculated according to the current minimum standards, then the rent on the second floor of this cafe is only 5,000 yuan per month... As for the employees’ office computers, they were not used before. I have already bought it, and there is no need to upgrade or replace it in a short 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 payment for each employee...
"In this way, we simply divide employees into three different "contribution brackets" according to their contribution. "The third level is the "diligence level", which means people who have completed their job steadily 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 file is the "special file", 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 the special level, 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.
“Just calculate it according to this coefficient, and just give out all the money. There are currently nine employees in the company, and I am not included.”
This algorithm was very clear. Xiao Mingyu quickly ran through it, but found new problems in the process.
The best thing to calculate is obviously the "core group". It may be because the company is currently relatively small, so this group has the most people. 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 planning proposal. Feng Hui and Zhao Haiquan can only be regarded as ordinary senior programmers, and Zhou Yang can only Call it standard chore planning.
Would it be a bit far-fetched to count the three of them as the core?
But then again, Xiao Mingyu feels that it is quite far-fetched to calculate the core salary for herself. After all, as the financial director, she basically doesn’t do much work. At most, she only pays everyone a basic salary. The company There are no purchases or other business activities.
She already gets a salary of more than 20,000 yuan a month, and even 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 have taken the lowest "diligence grade".
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 "Wolong Ce Nesting".
Although this bug turned out to be a benign bug in the end and made the game profitable, that cannot be the reason to reward them!
Xiao Mingyu also did not expect that she, 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, but she wants 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...
< br>"Don't get me wrong, I'm not flattering you, I'm just telling the truth..."
Xiao Mingyu felt that her speech was a bit too scablike at this time, but that's the truth!
Gu Fan chuckled and said nothing.
Do you think I don’t want to keep all the money in my own pocket? But that damn 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.
As for 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 see, Su Tong, you, Feng Hui, Zhao Haiquan, Guo Hongyu, Zhou Yang, you team leaders will all be counted in the second gear.
"The three testers are counted as the third level.
"As for the first level 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 he may not have such good results.
“Calculate how much each person costs. ”
