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.
< br>“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 give it a 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 been Disappoint me, very knowledgeable.
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news.
"Considering that it is your first time to design a game by yourself, I will give you a little more time.
"Well, let me think about it...just five days! ”
Gu Fan was confused: "Win the young master? Five days??
"Design a game in five days? Mr. Li, are you kidding me? "
Lilith said with a straight face: "What happened in five days? If I were to do it, I would be able to come up with three design plans!
“Submit the completed design plan in five days. It must be full of details and cannot fool me with a simple concept draft.
“Okay, it’s settled! ”
After Lilith finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Gu Fan quickly stopped her: "Wait a minute, Mr. Li, I have another question.
"If we don't do a Western fantasy theme this time, the art team in Hell can complete other themes. ?
“It seems that most of the people in this group are ancient Western painters and sculptors.
“Suppose I propose an art request for an Eastern fairy tale theme, is that OK? ”
Lilith thought for a while: "Well... this is indeed a problem.
" If it is just a verbal description, it will definitely not work.
“But if you can give a very accurate concept drawing and ask them to draw according to it, then there should be no problem.”
Gu Fan thought for a while: “That is Said, I need to recruit a concept artist in the human world, produce a few concept drawings, and then let the art team in hell complete all the art resources."
Lilith nodded: "Yeah, sure. It’s up to you to decide.”
Among Nitiantian's current employees, the art team leader Guo Hongyu is barely qualified for this job, but only barely.
Guo Hongyu’s main job lies in resource management and 3D models. He can also do original paintings, but he is not particularly outstanding.
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.
It seems that we have to find another candidate.
……
……
Thursday, October 17th.
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 assigned workstations for everyone in the living room.
As for the desk, chair and office computer, Gu Fan was not prepared at all.
Let everyone watch and buy it yourself!
Anyway, the money that was supposed to be 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 table, ergonomic chair or a high-end computer.
Before the move, everyone had already decided on the configuration that they were satisfied with. After the move, these items were delivered directly to the door and everyone assembled them.
At this time, this villa does not look like a normal residence, but a bit 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 only gave 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.
It finally 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 Shengjing Group's game business group will send people to inspect and communicate, and they should be here soon.
"They should have about ten people here this time. They are all 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 understand. "Shengjing Group had already 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 agreed casually without thinking too much.
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 didn't care and continued to do their own things.
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 and briefly shook hands with Kang Yong after seeing 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 the villa area.
But Kang Yong didn't ask much at that time, thinking that there would be shops and the like in the villa area, which could be used as office areas.
Looking at it now, it’s just a villa?
It seems that although Mr. Gu is young, he does have two skills. How can he save money on this? So, the employees have no complaints?
Okay, today is an eye-opener, and I also want to learn how to draw cakes, oh no, management knowledge.
Following him were basically some key members of Shengjing Group’s game business group, including programmers, artists, and planners, and most of them belonged 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.
Some of these people are really interested, and some just 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 who got off 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 anything eye-catching. decorate.
"Xiaoxia, catch up quickly."
Someone said hello, and she followed him in small steps.
Xiao Mingyu began to give a brief introduction to everyone.
“Currently, we in 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. ”
Actually, there’s not much to introduce. There are only a few things about the game Nitiantian, and that’s it in just 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 wherever you want, without being restrained.
"You can ask any questions you want. ”
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.
Kang Yong wanted to ask the most at this time. The question is: Mr. Gu, how do you keep these employees so determined even when their salaries are so low?
But in this situation, in front of everyone?
I originally thought there would be an opportunity to chat privately 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, hinting that he should think about a few questions, not to be silent, and to change the topic naturally.
Assistant Zhao immediately understood and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, I think your company's office conditions seem to be very good.
"Height-adjustable tables, ergonomic chairs, and high-end computers, these They 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 each floor has a bar room and entertainment room, and the workstations are spacious enough.
Even the canteen on each floor is larger than the office area of most companies.
Such conditions make countless people envious, and many people regard entering Shengjing Group as their ultimate pursuit in the workplace.
Comparedly speaking, although working in a villa is much better than working in a cafe, it still doesn't make sense 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 it was true that everyone's desks and chairs 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 height-adjustable table and ergonomic chair are very beautiful, the high-end host has full lighting effects, and there are three 4K displays. It was arranged like a control room, so I subconsciously thought that others were like this too.
But obviously not!
Kang Yong was even more in awe.
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!
