Number One Game Designer

In the living room of the villa, Fang Xi and Chen Yu sat on the sofa and looked around.

The big man who welcomed them in was named Aoge, who claimed to be the architect of the SNAIFKL studio. In fact, Fang Xi, the security guard, also believed it. It was hard to imagine how such a big hand would type on the keyboard.

"Coffee? Tea?" Ogra opened the refrigerator door and asked, then patted his head and said to himself:

"Of course it's Tea."

The entire villa is quite large, with a bit of an old-fashioned taste, and the wooden floor under your feet sometimes creaks when you step on it.

The space is large, but it is also quite crowded. The living room is only cleaned out. This corner, which I made by myself, seems to be a place for relaxing and talking. There are a few tables in the center, with dozens of computers on them. It seems that this is their usual place. Work place, but now empty.

After making tea, Aoge handed each of Fang Xi and Chen Yu a cup, followed Fang Xi's gaze and saw that Fang Xi was looking at the whole office, he smiled heartily and said:

"Our last project ended last month. The studio was shut down, but we had to make money, so everyone took part-time jobs. After all, we still have to live."

Hearing this Fang Xi was a bit strange:

"Shouldn't this matter be resolved by your person in charge? Even if there is no project for the job, the salary should be paid as it is."

Hearing this, Auger's face became a little gloomy:

"I guess you're talking about that guy Brown."

Fang Xi looked curious and made a gesture to continue, expressing his willingness to hear more about it.

Ogg took a sip of the juice to moisten his throat, and then talked about the past.

In fact, the story is not complicated, even a bit clichéd, it happens every day.

In short, Auger and his SNAIFKL were established quite early. After they became famous at that time, their later director, Brown came to the door, invested and became the sole boss, and promised not to interfere too much with the studio. As far as internal affairs were concerned, everything was fine.

But it was because of Fang Xi, a butterfly, that caused a storm all over the world, and the SNAIFKL studio was also affected. Players all ran to play Left 4 Survival and Battle Royale. Brown showed the true nature of a ruthless businessman, and kept selling the SNAIFKL studio as goods, and Ogg and the others felt humiliated.

"We didn't have this item in the shareholding contract we signed at the beginning." Ogg summed up the reason very concisely.

"Brown is now only trying to sell our studio. For this reason, he will not refuse a lot of excessive conditions, including the split of the studio, or let us transfer to a business that we are not good at, etc. And we resorted to the law. The approach also failed."

Chen Yu explained in a low voice:

"They've fought us head-on since we launched Left 4 Dead, and that's a lot of courage, but the price is that their business has been completely stagnant since March."

Fang Xi understood, simply put, he still had no money. They are like a group of bankrupt businessmen who have gone through the financial crisis. They have no skills, no capital and no orders. Even if Shen Wansan comes over, it will take time.

"So you have a disagreement with Brown now?" Fang Xi concluded.

"Or let me sum it up directly." Fang Xi said quickly:

"We can provide you with full legal assistance and financial support. As a price, you need to accept our offer from Hongyi and become a studio under Hongyi. Of course, before that, I need to confirm whether you have the authority to make decisions .”

Rubbing his hands, Ogg was a little impatient, and it seemed that they had already had a unified opinion:

"I need to make two calls."

Fang Xi made a gesture of please.

Not long after, there were two more knocks on the door.

Ogg welcomed the two of them in.

Looking at Fang Xi, who is tall and tall, he is a little confused. What about the game studio? There are three people standing here in this stature. If you say they are soldiers, fitness workers, or even a cowherd, you are more reliable than saying they are programmers. Auger is also introducing to both sides one by one:

"Hano, Dillon, and SNAIFKL studio were first established by the three of us, and we can also make decisions on behalf of the studio."

"This is FANG, who wants to acquire our studio and is willing to provide legal and financial assistance throughout the process."

Hearing Fang Xi's name, Hano and Di Lon became more enthusiastic, and it also made Fang Xi understand how influential he is now.

"Now that you're all here, I think we might as well settle things now."

"On behalf of Hongyi, I am here with sincerity. Our Director Chen has also read all your public information before coming, so I have a general impression of your strength and I am satisfied, so I can promise that if you buy You do any kind of split, but as a subsidiary studio of Hongyi, you also have to work for Hongyi, but I can also promise that before you have a new direction of expertise, I will try to arrange for you to make games that you are good at .”

"Here I also directly explain that Hongyi's internal competition is not easy, and it is not a place where you can live with peace of mind by relying on your resume. After you belong to Hongyi, you need to keep learning. We give every employee internally There is no KPI set, but our personnel review requires you to improve every year compared to the previous year. "

With candy in one hand and a big stick in the other, Fang Xi has become more proficient in this trick now.

Ogg, Dillon, and Hano looked at each other, and Ogg took a step forward:

"Give us five minutes."

Fang Xi nodded, and then watched the three of them go upstairs to discuss.

Chen Yu sat down directly:

"What project are you going to arrange for them?"

"I didn't think about it before I came here." Fang Xi stretched his waist. Although he slept on the plane, he was still not very comfortable.

"But after I came here, I noticed that they are most suitable for "Borderland", but unfortunately I have already sold this game to Sorrento."

Chen Yu nodded sympathetically. Chicago itself has a strong punk culture, retro, and steel. They are all terms for this city, and they are indeed very suitable.

"So after I get it, I plan to let them make two new DLCs of Left 4 Dead, and put them up for sale depending on the situation. Let's talk about it later. I can't think of it for a while."

Thinking of this, Fang Xi pondered for a while, and then took a look at Chen Yu:

"Otherwise, you can go straight to wrangling with Brown later. In my estimation, there is nothing wrong with this studio. We should buy out Brown's shares through legal channels. This will take a while. Just be responsible here."

Chen Yu nodded: "No problem."

As for Fang Xi's purpose, he didn't ask, and it wasn't his habit to speculate on the boss's privacy.

Fang Xi smiled:

"Don't forget to give yourself a week off after you finish your work here, we agreed before."

Chen Yu nodded with embarrassment, indicating that there is no problem.

Fang Xi turned his head and thought for a while and said:

"Give birth to a precious son early."
