Game development giant

Zhang Yunhai is a game developer. To be precise, it is the main program of game development. He was 37 years old this year and was ruthlessly swept out by the company, which annoyed him.

The reason for being expelled was not because of Zhang Yunhai’s poor ability, but because he was old, and his body could not support long-term 996 work. In addition, the efficiency was not as good as that of young programmers, and there was no way to transfer to management positions, so the company was nothing Fire him without hesitation.

Zhang Yunhai has a twelve-year-old son and his wife is a sick man. The burden of the entire family rests on him alone. So after he was fired, he looked for jobs everywhere, but is there a programmer who is close to forty years old? What will the company want?

After all, programmers can be regarded as a youthful occupation, even the main program is not much better.

The resumes for many companies were all in jeopardy. Zhang Yunhai discovered in despair that he basically had no possibility to continue to be a programmer, but what could he do without being a programmer?

Zhang Yunhai was lost in confusion.

On this day, Zhang Yunhai habitually opened the recruitment website, and after setting the filter conditions, he hoped to see if there was a job suitable for him.

"Hey, still nothing... It seems that I have to find a job first, otherwise the family will almost run out of rice."

Zhang Yunhai shook his head and changed the selection criteria of the recruitment website. It is not limited to programmer positions, as long as the salary is still acceptable, he can do anything.

Just refreshed the recruitment website with modified screening conditions, Zhang Yunhai had not had time to take a closer look, the cell phone ringing rang.

Zhang Yunhai took out his cell phone and called Wang Xiuqin, a colleague at Feng Su Shi. Although he didn't know what was going on with him, he got on the phone.

"Brother Hai? This is Wang Xiuqin, are you free now?"

Although Zhang Yunhai and Wang Xiuqin have worked together for several years, they belong to two departments after all. They don't have much communication in normal times, and they are not too familiar. He replied, "I'm fine now. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Wang Xiuqin said on the phone: "That's it. Recently, someone asked me to find a senior mobile game main program. After thinking about going to people I know, Haige is suitable for you. I don't know if you want to come over and give in?"

Zhang Yunhai was agitated when he heard this. At this time, someone asked him to be the main program of the game. He immediately remembered his current situation and said with a mockery: "You are not kidding, there are still people who want me to be the main program at my age. program?"

Wang Xiuqin said seriously: "Brother Hai, I'm really not kidding. Well, let's put it this way. That person used to work for Fengsu for two years. You should know him too. His name is Li Yuanhang, the one who used to do copywriting at Fengsu. ."

"Li Yuanhang? He opened his own studio?"

A handsome guy in his early twenties appeared in Zhang Yunhai's mind. He was not serious about his job. He often went to other departments to help when he had time. He also gave him some programming knowledge.

Wang Xiuqin said: "Yes, he set up his own game studio after leaving Fengsu. It took him a few months to make a single-player strategy mobile game by himself. Internet agency distribution. At present, Li Yuanhang has another good idea, but he needs someone like Haige to help him."

Zhang Yunhai was a little hesitant. After all, Li Yuanhang had been with him before. At this time, his identity suddenly changed and he was going to be with him. This really made him wonder where to put his old face.

Just when Zhang Yunhai was hesitant, he suddenly remembered his situation, his family was about to drink northwest wind, no matter if he didn't need the skin, he couldn't help but shook his head and laughed bitterly, but said: "If Li Yuanhang doesn't despise me If so, I can join his studio."

"That's great," Wang Xiuqin said happily, "Let's do it, Brother Hai, if you are free this afternoon, come to Jingkailu's Xingfu Garden Community, Unit 1, Unit 5-1, and have a look. If you have any questions, you can directly Find him."

Zhang Yunhai said, "I'm fine in the afternoon, so can I come over at two o'clock?"

Wang Xiuqin said: "Of course, I will tell Li Yuanhang and let him be there to wait for you then, um, Brother Hai, if you have no problems, I will hang up first. Let's meet to discuss it in detail this afternoon."

Zhang Yunhai asked curiously: "Xiao Wang, listen to what you mean, you have joined Li Yuanhang's studio?"

Wang Xiuqin said relaxedly: "Not yet. After the handover of Fengsu is completed, I will consider whether to join his studio."

"Oh, that's it," Zhang Yunhai felt a lot more at ease when he heard the words. Senior artists such as Wang Xiuqin are willing to give up the work of Feng Su and join Li Yuanhang's studio, which at least shows that the potential of this studio is very good. "You Let’s not talk about the game made by Kaixia.com. What is the name of this game?"

""Plague Company", a very interesting mobile game, Haige, you should be able to download it in all major application markets."

...

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunhai closed the recruitment webpage and began to inquire about the game "Plague Company".

I don’t know if I check it out. Zhang Yunhai is really shocked. Not only the major game media have given "Plague Company" extremely high reviews, but the game players are also rave reviews.

Take the app market that comes with Zhang Yunhai's mobile phone, the download of "Plague Company" is almost 50,000. This is a game that can be downloaded after purchase, which means that only this app market has been sold. Nearly 50,000 copies.

If all the application markets add up, isn't it four to five million copies sold?

Zhang Yunhai also bought a copy of "Plague Company" in the app market. After trying it twice, he became very interested in this game, and he couldn't help but start to doubt that this was really made by the young Li Yuanhang. game?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Yunhai took a bus to the Happy Garden Community. The place where he lives is only four or five stops away, and the bus can come in less than twenty minutes.

At the address Wang Xiuqin said, Zhang Yunhai met Li Yuanhang, who was swept out by a forward a few months ago.

"Brother Hai, are you here? Come in, please come in."

Li Yuanhang enthusiastically took Zhang Yunhai to visit his studio, while talking about salary, dividends and overtime.

Zhang Yunhai has a good impression of Li Yuanhang's studio. Although it is in a residential building, it feels much more comfortable than in an office building.

More importantly, the policy of reducing overtime that Li Yuanhang has repeatedly emphasized really tempted him. He can do what he is good at without having to work overtime like before.

The salary is lower than at the front speed, but what does that matter?

So Zhang Yunhai became the first employee of Shinhwa Studio.

"Mr. Li, when can I come to work?"

After Zhang Yunhai confirmed that he joined Shinhwa Studio, he would definitely not be able to call "Xiao Li Xiao Li" as he did before. It didn't seem appropriate to call him directly. After thinking about it, he decided to call him "President Li".

Li Yuanhang smiled and said, "Brother Hai, don't call me'President Li' or anything. I panicked when I heard it. You should just call my name."

Zhang Yunhai shook his head: "This is not so good. After all, you are the boss of the studio, so it is necessary to establish the boss's prestige. For example, you can't just call your name."

Seeing Zhang Yunhai's resolute attitude, Li Yuanhang thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, Brother Hai, you can call me BOSS when you work, and you can just call me by name at other times."

The word BOSS in the game means the leader of the monster, but literally translated it means the boss. It's a pun, and it sounds a lot easier than "Mr. Li".

Zhang Yunhai said: "Then I will call you BOSS from now on."
