Recreation Starts From the Heartbeat

"It would be nice if all the employees were like Xu Jinyang."

Tang Su couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Jinyang is definitely the most worry-free of all the employees in the company, and the price is very high.

He is obviously just an assistant, but he has done a lot of work for Tang Su, the boss.

In terms of game design, operation, etc., Xu Jinyang also has a lot of his own understanding. He has led two large-scale games, and he has a very high vision. He can always put forward many very good suggestions, which makes Tang Su feel suddenly enlightened.

And most importantly -

Xu Jinyang's attitude is very good.

Obviously it was his own suggestion, but after being accepted by Tang Su, he would say with a look of admiration: "The boss is wise."

"Where, it's all thanks to Xu Zhu."

Tang Su waved his hand.

"It's all well-directed by the boss."

Xu Jinyang said politely with a signature smile on his face.

Business blowing each other... has become routine.

Of course--

What satisfies Tang Su most is that Xu Jinyang's salary is very small.

The internship period is 12,000 yuan per month, and after the regularization is 20,000 yuan, plus various subsidies and bonuses, it will be less than 25,000 yuan.

Compared with the scope of his work, this salary is nothing at all.

"You don't have much work at all, and you have transferred some of it to the assistant..."

Zhang Yuning's face was complicated.

He is also a partner. He is busy with many things every day, while Tang Su only needs to sit in the company and knock on the computer to finish things... The gap between people is too big, right?

"Envy?"

Tang Su said lazily, "If you are envious, you can also find an assistant."

"The assistant is definitely looking for it, but Xu Jinyang probably won't be able to find it."

Zhang Yuning shook his head: "You are just a blind cat and a dead mouse, and you have lost your **** luck."

Just at this moment, Xu Jinyang walked in.

Tang Su said immediately, "Xu Zhu, he said you were a dead rat."

Zhang Yuning: ? ? ?

This makes people speechless.

...

When eating with Xiao Su Tang at noon, Tang Su also talked about it.

"Congratulations on finding a good assistant."

A reluctant smile appeared on Su Tang's face, and this blessing was a bit insincere.

"Actually it's fine."

Tang Su sighed: "It's leisure time for a short time, but I guess it won't last long. If a talent like Xu Jinyang is only an assistant, it's too talented. Let's take a look at the situation during the internship period. After the internship period, if there is a chance, I will give him a different position... At present, the company has three development teams, each responsible for a project, I am going to let him take over the 'Sky World' project, what do you think?"

The sky world?

Hearing this, Su Tang was a little surprised: "Are you sure you want to hand over such an important project to a newcomer?"

How important is the sky world?

Outsiders may not be aware of it, but it is just a discussion community established by the company of the sky game company for players...

But Tang Su had told her before.

Can Sky Game Company get rid of the restrictions and become a big company in the future? "Sky World" is definitely the most important part of the entire layout.

Once this project develops, no one will be able to stop the rise of Sky Games.

"I haven't decided yet, I just have this idea."

Tang Su shook his head: "The one-month internship period is enough for me to get to know him well. If this guy is reliable, I can show him the 'Sky World' project, as long as I don't publicly explain the true nature of this project. The role, even developers and operators, can only be done as a game community... Among the company's current projects, it can only be regarded as an insignificant one."

In the project of the sky world, everything is not important until the real use appears.

Moreover, because this project is attached to the game, it is only promoted through the game, which is equivalent to the accessory of each subsequent game, and does not exist independently.

Therefore, there is almost no cost.

Even if the sky world is rotten, it can be remade into a sky planet, sky continent, sky village, etc...

Tang Su thought very much, so he didn't take this seemingly important project to heart at all.

"So this is ah."

Su Tang suddenly said: "Then you must keep your secrets well. If the channel dealers know that you want to jump out and do it alone, they will definitely not be caught."

"Whatever you can capture... I just took myself out at most, but I never thought about being an enemy of them, there's no need for that."

Tang Su shook his head and laughed.

He didn't intend to be an enemy of the channel dealer, because he had no intention of becoming a channel dealer at all, he just created a channel of his own and built a moat.

...

mid-December.

Mi Tang Studio's 'Xingyao Series' released another 1,000 sets in stock. The original plan was 500 sets per month. After cutting off the plan for international groups, all the output originally reserved for international groups was given to domestic consumers. , which doubled the supply directly.

As soon as the news came out, some people were really happy and some people were worried.

Because the first batch of goods has already been sent out, many netizens have already received them, and posted orders on Weibo, which made many netizens who participated in the pre-order feel sour.

So, after Mi Tang officially announced the supply of 1,000 sets this month, the first 1,000 netizens who pre-ordered were very excited.

"I thought I would receive it in January, but I didn't expect it to be shipped now. I love it."

"I heard that it was for domestic supply, and the originally planned international group was cut off?"

"This wave of operations can really be said to be full of goodwill."

"The brands that I have seen before that supply both domestic and foreign countries are all giving priority to supplying foreign countries. Only Mi Tang will think about giving priority to domestic compatriots."

"Xingyao is so successful. It has sold 30,000 sets in China alone. It is said that foreign countries are the mainstream. It is absolutely blood loss for Mi Tang Studio to cut off the international group."

"That can't be helped. Who makes the production unable to keep up with the sales? If we start an international group, I'm afraid that it may not be able to receive it three years later?"

"It's not as outrageous as you think. Even if it is an international group, it will only sell a few thousand sets at most. The domestic side is mainly star effect..."

"It is indeed a star effect. I have seen many netizens who bought 'Xingyao' recently, and they don't even know what customization is..."

"I hope the output will be raised quickly. Even if the international group is cut off, I don't know when these domestic orders will be produced."

"Anyway, doubling the supply is better than before, at least it's less desperate."

Netizens were talking.

As for why some people are happy and some are sad...

"I suddenly thought of something. Originally, 501-1000 people were shipped in January, but now it is advanced to December. The compensation for the hand support that was agreed before, is there any more?"

Someone suddenly asked this question.

In this regard, the customer service lady of Mi Tang Studio replied: "The compensation plan is calculated according to the month, and it has nothing to do with the ranking. Kiss~"

Translated into adult words: yes, that's right, you're thinking shit.

"The hand rest is gone, woo woo woo..."

"At first, I was very proud to tell others that I could take a hand rest, but now it's gone, it's too much."

"I didn't know how to express my position for a while. In fact, I wasn't in such a hurry. Compared to shipping a month in advance, I'd rather wait a month longer to get my hands on..."

Then--

The customer service lady of Mitang Studio gave a solution: "You can find a consumer with a ranking of 1000+, and then negotiate to replace the serial number. The official side provides free change service, dear~"

As soon as these words came out, the netizens who were still complaining about the loss of the hand support suddenly fell silent.

"Actually... it's just a hand rest, it doesn't matter, I still want to ship it quickly."

"Yeah, it's only a few dozen yuan to buy a hand rest online, and it costs 4,000 yuan to buy a keyboard. Do you care about that?"

"I should be able to receive it in a few days. This is the first time I bought such an expensive keyboard..."

The opinions of netizens changed at that time, and soon.

...

At this moment, Tang Su and Su Tang are having lunch together.

"The customer service in your studio is quite interesting."

Tang Su was a little amused by watching the group of sand sculptures on Weibo speak: "These people were quite able to complain and felt that they were at a loss. As a result, when the customer service said they could change the order for free, they directly overturned their claims. Punch yourself in the face."

"Miss customer service is also a key circle player. She knows the psychology of these people very well."

Su Tang said lazily: "To spend 4,000 yuan to buy a keyboard, everyone wants to receive the goods as soon as possible, a hand support compensation of dozens of yuan, no one really cares about this, and it is helpless to be forced to accept it. Who cares if it's shipped early?"

"Right."

Tang Su nodded, and then asked, "Are you sure you want to release the new Honor peripheral products this month?"

"Sure."

Su Tang nodded as a matter of course, and then frowned slightly: "What's the matter? Your tone... It seems that you are not optimistic, this is the structural design you provided, and the first batch of stock is the "Plants vs. Zombies" joint version, the whole The keyboard has your taste, a little confidence, okay?"

"What do you mean with my taste..."

Tang Su was speechless and shook his head: "Forget it, let's not talk about this first, I mainly think, you just posted 'Xingyao' earlier, and now you release a similar product, which may affect 'Xingyao' sales and word of mouth.”

"A similar product?"

Su Tang looked at him like he was looking at a mentally retarded.

"I know that the two keyboards are very different in terms of material technology and structural design, and they are not of the same grade at all, but these things will only be understood by players in the circle who play more keyboards. For the public, As long as the exterior looks similar and the material looks similar, it makes no difference.”

Tang Su spreads his hands: "'Xingyao' and 'Glory' are both traditional 87 layouts, and the shells are made of all-aluminum. In terms of appearance, judging from the public consumers' perception of the keyboard, the appearance of 'Glory' is even Even more than 'Xingyao', as for the difference in sound and feel... Unless it is a heavy user, it is difficult to feel the difference, but the price difference between the two is very obvious..."

That's just too obvious, right?

It is also packaged and sold in a large set, one is priced at 3999 yuan, and the other is priced at 999 yuan...

"I knew."

Su Tang sighed and was a little helpless: "For key ring players, the difference between the two keyboards is very large, and there are at least two grades in the middle, but for consumers outside the circle, they may not care about this. This kind of gap, as long as it meets the needs of use, looks good, and the workmanship looks good, this is enough... However, you can't give up the new brand plan just because you want to take care of the psychological feelings of 'Xingyao' consumers, right?"

"..."

Tang Su thought for a while, then nodded lightly: "You are right, you really can't give up the new brand plan because of this."

"Also, if Xingyao's consumers really have opinions, that's fine too."

Su Tang shrugged: "Just apply for a refund directly, and it can also reduce the pressure on product supply."

"Uh……"

Tang Su didn't know what to say for a while.

On second thought, it seems to make sense.

The current number of pre-orders for 'Xingyao' has far exceeded the supply limit that the factory can provide. If a wave can be hit in this way, some consumers will be refunded and will buy new products in mass production. ...

It seems to be good too.

Although the profit of 'Xingyao' far exceeds that of mass-produced new products, ... it will be a headache if it cannot be produced. If it has not been shipped for more than half a year, consumers will definitely have a lot of opinions.

"Have you thought so long ago?"

Tang Su looked at Su Tang on the opposite side: "Through the news of mass production of new products, guide some consumers to refund money and reduce supply pressure?"

if it is like this.

In this wave, Sutang may be in the atmosphere.

"...No, not yet."

Su Tang was speechless: "The plan to mass-produce the new brand was planned long before the release of 'Xingyao'. After the pre-order of 'Xingyao' was over, the plan for the new brand would be launched. I thought at that time. Now, the total sales volume of 'Xingyao' should be only three or four thousand, it's not a big problem, who would have thought that this would happen..."

"Right."

Tang Su thought thoughtfully: "With your IQ, it is indeed impossible to think so far."

"What do you mean by that?"

Sugar is not happy.

...

end of December.

The 'Sky Games official account' announced on Weibo the plan for the upcoming test of 'Sky World'. Many netizens expressed their expectations, but some expressed their disapproval and felt that there was no need to create a separate communication community for a game. Weibo, Social platforms such as forced to be completely sufficient.

"It's not just "Plants vs. Zombies". In the future, a lot of information about the company's new games will be announced in the 'Sky World', as well as the strategy for games such as "Digging for Ascension" and "Cat Leo"."

Tang Su explained on Weibo: "We hope that through the game community of 'Sky World', we can shorten the distance with players and create our own game world together..."

Skyworld.

Netizens are still very interested. After learning that this software has been launched, they downloaded and installed it.

The interface is very simple, a bit similar to the combination of Tieba and Weibo. There are public communication places and a communication environment that is unique to a certain game.

"Digging for Ascension", "Cat Leo", "iwanna", "Cat Leo and iwanna", "Plants vs Zombies"...

These are the five games that Tang Su has led and developed in the past.

When ‘Sky World’ was launched, separate communities were established directly for these five games. After opening, you can also see some basic guides provided by the official, as well as many very beautiful ultra-clear wallpapers.

Because it was just online, there were not many people chatting.

then--

"Arrange all the more idle employees of the company, register an account, and pretend to be passersby to chat with them."

Tang Su said: "Also, get in touch with those game up masters at station B, I hope they can come over to register an account, interact with you a few times, and post something. In the future, when our new games are released, we can give priority to cooperation with them... …

In addition, a bounty plan is established to invite players to provide suggestions for the follow-up update of "Plants vs. Zombies", we will select a few high-quality suggestions, and give some mysterious rewards..."

"good."

Xu Jinyang nodded: "There are quite a lot of relatively idle employees in the company, the personnel department, the finance department... I will arrange them all.

Those game up masters at station B have cooperated with us several times before, and there should be no problem. I will try my best to communicate.

In the case of a bounty program, is it an email submission or a public submission?

Also, can the so-called mysterious rewards be revealed in advance? "

"In order to avoid some controversy, it is better to use the method of public submission."

Tang Su's heart moved, and he added: "Create a separate contribution plan in 'Sky World', which can be accessed directly from the homepage. Then, players can post their contributions, and other players will like and help. , the higher the number of likes, the easier it is to be adopted... Remember, it is easy to be adopted, not if the number of likes is high, it will be adopted. This must be made clear to avoid misunderstandings.

In addition, if the content of two players' submissions collide, or the similarity exceeds 30%, then we will give priority to the one with the earliest publication time, and avoid plagiarism in this way. After all, we created the submission plan for mutual benefit, not for Players block.

In general, this is the case. Make your own specific arrangements and try to avoid possible loopholes in the event, so as not to let us fall into a passive position.

As for the mysterious rewards...I am going to set up ten rewards, the first place will be rewarded with a fruit phone worth 10,000 yuan, the second, third and fourth place will be rewarded with a 'Xingyao' keyboard, and the fifth to tenth will be awarded in a few days. announced. "

"good."

Xu Jinyang nodded and went to make arrangements.

...

Contribution plans related to game content were established as early as when "Dig to Seek Ascension", and later "Cat Leo" and "iwanna" also launched similar activities, and even now some players regard it as a Working part-time, earning an income...

then.

When Plants vs. Zombies announced a similar event, players were enthusiastic.

"I thought "Plants vs. Zombies" didn't have this kind of activity, but I didn't expect it to come again."

"Sky Games is better than other game companies in this regard. It can listen to the opinions of players, and is even willing to make games with players."

"Why did it become a physical reward this time? Shouldn't it be a bonus?"

"Yes, it used to be a bonus. I remember giving out more than 10,000 yuan at the most. How can it be turned into an item reward now?"

"There are so many rewards for mini-games like "Digging for Ascension" and "Cat Leo", but such a successful mobile game "Plants vs. Zombies" has become stingy?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand."

For the contribution activity, because of the experience of the previous games, everyone is familiar with the activity process and rewards.

But it used to be a cash reward, but suddenly it became an item reward, which caught everyone off guard.

Because the place everyone commented was in the community of 'Sky World', Tang Su noticed it immediately.

After thinking about it, he passed the identity authentication of 'Sky Games-Tang Su' and publicly responded:

"If you are more interested in cash, you can also change it to a cash reward, and there will be a private chat with customer service to confirm the information, just tell the customer service directly.

The first-place fruit phone is worth 10,000 yuan in cash, the Xingyao keyboard is worth 4,000 yuan in cash, and the mysterious reward is worth 1,000 yuan in cash, depending on your mood...

As for why the rewards have not been significantly improved compared to the past, it is because each new chapter of "Plants vs. Zombies" will bring a lot of new content, and it is difficult to complete the entire chapter by only one person. Therefore, we It is planned to create the content of the new chapter together through the company's design team + player contributions.

You can specify the content of the submission in terms of painting style, setting, plot, new gameplay, dubbing, etc., preferably related to the New Year, because the New Year is coming soon, there may be a new year chapter, so the probability of being selected Might be bigger. "

After this explanation, the players will understand.

"Translated into human language: each new chapter has a lot of content~www.readwn.com~ You can't finish it by yourself, so why give you a lot of rewards?"

"Damn! If anyone can complete a new chapter alone, Tang Su will be dumbfounded, right?"

"One thing to say, "Plants vs. Zombies" is different from the previous mini-games, and a small team of a few people really can't complete a new chapter."

"It feels good now. Painting, music, plot... Those who are good at these things can try it out. It depends on luck."

"I'm studying music, and I plan to try arranging music for the new chapter, the New Year chapter, let's have something festive."

"I'm an art student, and I plan to try painting..."

"As a heavy senior reader, I can only try to write the plot."

"I want to try to set up a setting. Don't you have to eat dumplings during the new year? You said, how about we make a dumpling zombie? The skill is to randomly throw bomb dumplings..."

"This idea is good, I'll copy it first as a tribute."
