My Age of Investment

   Chapter 967

Xia Jingxing stayed in Chengdu for only three days, accompanied his parents for one day, and went to the countryside to visit his grandparents. On the last day of the trip, he went to Tianfu Software Park and inspected Jintian Studio, the previously acquired Jintian Technology company.

  Peng Haitao, who has changed from a boss to a wage earner, is still the same, with a haircut that has just been released, shaved, and wearing a dirty sweater, as if he hadn't washed it for a long time.

  When Xia Jingxing walked into the company and stood behind Peng Haitao, the guy was still looking at the computer screen intently, without noticing that all the employees beside him were silent.

  Peng Haitao's ten fingers danced on the keyboard, with a fried dough stick in his mouth, playing games and playing games.

  In the game, Asura manipulates a pink lightsaber, bumping up and down, and left and right. After a few minutes, the screen suddenly shines, and a beam of light shining with gold rises into the sky.

Peng Haitao leaned back, removed his hand from the keyboard, and took off the fritters that were almost melted in his mouth, "Hammer! Hit a chicken! Blast some broken copper and iron! No revival cell phone bursts! Fortunately, I have reached level 40."

The employee next to    held back a smile and took a peek at Xia Jingxing. The boss's face was as usual, and he should not be angry.

  Peng Haitao noticed that no one paid any attention to him, turned his head and glanced, suddenly startled.

   "Jingxing, why did you come? When did you come?"

  Xia Jingxing did not answer his question, pointed to the screen and said: "The game is playing well, it's all at full level."

  Peng Haitao smiled and said, “I took the big guy to find creative inspiration without delaying work.”

  A good one to find inspiration! Elementary school students were caught playing games by their parents, and there is no excuse for you to be so legitimate.

  However, Xia Jingxing didn't pay much attention to these little things. He only looked at the results, not the process.

  "How is the new project going?"

  Xia Jingxing noticed that there were untouched fritters in the plastic bag on the desk, grabbed one of them, held one in his hand, tore and ate it.

  Peng Haitao frankly replied: "The project has just been completed and is preparing for development!"

  Xia Jingxing nodded and said: "This fried dough stick is okay, not too old!"

  Peng Haitao’s smile stagnated, is this suggesting himself? Don't mix into old fritters?

  He has strong self-esteem and doesn’t know how to answer the conversation for a while.

   Fortunately, Xia Jingxing did not mention this again, and soon changed the subject: "How did you move outside to work?"

  Peng Haitao was speechless for a while, he thought for a while, and simply told the truth: “It’s boring to play games in the office by myself. It’s more atmospheric to play games with everyone outside.

  We used to be like this too. When we got tired and exhausted from work, we played games together.

  Inspired, everyone worked overtime together again, without restricting working hours, but working more efficiently. "

  Xia Jingxing's mouth twitched. This is using the company as an Internet cafe, right?

  As soon as he came in, he noticed that several employees’ computers were logging into the DNF game interface.

  However, as soon as he saw his big boss appear, these guys immediately switched to the office software interface, not like people with girlfriends.

In fact, Xia Jingxing did not mean to blame too much, because he also knew that the working atmosphere of the original game company is more relaxed, the better. If employees are faced with a high-pressure work environment at any time, all they think about every day are how to hurry up and complete the work as soon as possible. , How is it possible to burst out creativity and inspiration.

  As the saying goes: Slow work leads to fine work! To make high-quality games, it is impossible to mass-produce games like industrial products.

According to Xia Jingxing’s knowledge, foreign game studios don’t even talk about playing games during working hours. Riot has even set aside an area in the company and set up an e-sports Internet cafe. If employees are tired from work, they can invite people to group at any time. The team goes to the black, no one restricts your working hours.

  Relatively speaking, the employees of major domestic game companies do not have such good benefits. Everyone is like a screw on the production line, working hard at 996 and 997.

  Why is the working atmosphere so different at home and abroad? The fundamental reason is that the two sides want different things.

  In the eyes of major foreign companies, the soul of the game lies in creativity and inspiration. This thing cannot be forced by 996!

  In the eyes of domestic manufacturers, creativity is air, and imitation is king.

  In the case of serious homogeneity of the game, everyone is fighting for speed.

  How can we make games faster than others and occupy the market faster than others, this thing is the first!

  In this case, "forcing" employees to work overtime is naturally the only way out.

  In this environment where the entire industry is in 996 to catch up, you may be eliminated at any time before 996.

  Developed to the back, 996 became a matter of course.

  This principle applies from game enlargement to the entire Internet industry.

  In the end, what the game needs is creativity. 996 may win for a while, but it cannot win for a lifetime.

  If domestic manufacturers have been unable to change this kind of thinking, no matter how many employees are added, it will be difficult for domestic games to develop!

  Xia Jingxing thus thinks of Penguin’s development strategy. Why does Penguin want the world to buy, buy, buy, and buy game companies everywhere? It is because of the domestic environment and the company's environment that no quality games can be born.

Penguin is the world's largest game company, but it does not have a boutique game developed by its own China headquarters. Whenever the game becomes popular, it ran to acquire the other company, and then the quality of the game above the standard line, or in other words, is in the market. The trending game gets the Chinese transformation and launches the local version, and then uses the penguin traffic to water it, and the money is ready.

  In the final analysis, this is still a lazy idea of ​​“buying better than making”, and the enterprise lacks original spirit.

  There is a set of successful "acquisition + domestic copying" stable model, why do you have to work so **** your own? Go on an adventure? With this money, wouldn't it be better to acquire a game company?

  Xia Jingxing felt that after the development of Penguin game to its peak, he was a little bit reluctant to think about it. The core competitiveness is flow and capital, rather than the background of research and development.

  Once there is a hot game in the market, and if Penguin’s move is not accepted, Penguin will desperately suppress and invest in similar products, as evil as the villain in the Internet.

  Xia Jingxing does not want domestic games to follow such a path and completely become a game of capital. He also wants to promote games that carry Chinese local culture overseas, so as to spread Chinese culture while making money.

  China’s economic rise is no longer a problem, but the rise of culture still has a long way to go.

  Only when the economy, culture, science and technology, and military are all splendid and prosperous, can it be called "return to the flourishing age" and "national rejuvenation."

After thinking for a long time, Xia Jingxing looked at Peng Haitao and said, “You’re like this. Let’s set up an e-sports Internet cafe next day, and the computer configuration will be higher. Everyone is tired from work. Let’s play games together! You don’t need to stay in the office anymore!

  In addition, you can also hold a game competition internally. All those who perform well will be selected to form a team and sent outside to participate in the e-sports competition. You can learn more about the users, understand the game, and get more inspiration.

  If the game developed by Jintian Studio is good enough, the head office will reward some benefits, such as gymnasium, swimming pool, yacht party, travel abroad...all arrangements will be made! "

  Peng Haitao was stunned. I just want to keep employees playing games as an activity? Can this be done?

  The Internet cafes and yacht parties mentioned by Xia Jingxing seem to be less professional than him. Does it still look like working?

  Xia Jingxing looked at Peng Haitao, who was staring blankly, and the other dumbfounded employees around, and said loudly: "Playing games is just playing! What fun games can someone who can't even play, develop?"

   Now it’s Peng Haitao’s turn to twitch at the corners of his mouth. This logic is... quite okay!

  Other employees applauded and applauded loudly.

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand: "Okay, everyone don’t applaud. Right now there is only one internet cafe. If everyone performs well and has outstanding results, then they will be equipped with a gym, swimming pool, yacht party...

  It's like playing a game, everyone needs to work together to clear the level, and unlock the benefits one by one.

  If you don’t perform well, I’m sorry, Gameover, you need to accept punishment. "

Not only did Xia Jingxing’s remarks fail to discourage the employees, but their small hands made them work harder.

  It turns out that they still think that the big boss is drawing a cake. Now that collective welfare is linked to performance, it makes sense. As long as they can make more money for the company and for the boss, they are naturally eligible to follow the boss to drink soup.

  If ordinary small bosses say this, they also suspect that when the performance reaches the target, the boss will not fulfill his promise.

  But Mr. Xia is different, the dignified richest man, shameless?

   is the richest man after all, he speaks the way he speaks, and comes with Buff.

  Xia Jingxing took a few shots of blood, and a group of unconventional employees who followed Peng Haitao's decadence immediately changed. All of them looked ruddy and looked forward to the "corrupt life" in the future.

  Don’t know if there are any young models on the yacht party? Many employees are already worried about this issue at this moment.

  Peng Haitao’s eyes at Xia Jingxing changed at this moment, and he asked seriously: “Do you want to take the route of foreign boutique studios? Do you want to do nothing like EA and Ubisoft?”

  Xia Jingxing shrugged, "Can’t it? Do you think the Chinese are a bit stupid than them?"

   "It's not impossible!"

  Peng Haitao lightly shook his head, and then sighed: "It's just a few years of sharpening the sword. The research and development costs and time are very high. Without certain determination, the plan cannot be implemented."

  Xia Jingxing smiled mildly and confidently: "You don't have to worry about this. As long as the project is established, the company will never stop investing and give up halfway."

Seeing that Xia Jingxing was so confident, Peng Haitao shut up and said nothing.

  From the bottom of his heart, he is also a team leader who admires a relaxed working atmosphere. He has always done this in the past.

   is just Xia Jingxing’s relaxed mode, which is more relaxed than his past, and it is also driven by the industry's top welfare.

  This makes him feel a certain amount of pressure. If the project is not done well and the welfare is not available, I am more or less sorry for the group of old brothers around him who have been with him for several years.

  He got most of the 100 million equity purchase, and he is the second generation of the rich, so he doesn't really value the things Xia Jingxing promised.

  But if team members work in such a relaxed environment every day and enjoy excellent benefits, they should be able to develop top-notch domestic products and even rush to overseas markets, right?

  He is more expecting the team to reach such a high level, and still achieve this goal in his hands, which will make him feel very fulfilled, and work and life will no longer be boring.

  He is such a person, the more challenging the job, the more he likes it.
