Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 1020 Chen Mo, This is the mission the organization has assigned to you.

"From this day forward, the door to the other side is open to you."

On the stage of the large lecture hall, after a welcome video speech by Chen Mo, Chairman of the B&A Group, was played, Sun Ziwei, President of B&A Games Business Group, was giving a speech.
"And behind the door is a stage that has already stood at the top of the global game industry - Beyond Games."

From this day forward, every line of code you write, every original drawing you create, every level you design, and even every creative idea you propose may be watched and influenced by hundreds of millions of eyes around the world.

The ultimate goal of the game, or rather, our original intention, is always 'humanity'.

The reason we've come this far is not because we've conquered the market, but because we love games, and we haven't let down any of our players.

Ten years from now, I hope to stand here every year, welcoming your juniors and proudly telling them—Biyan Games is still number one in the world.

Just then, Sun Ziwei's gaze inadvertently swept over a corner, first with a hint of suspicion, then focused on a certain person, his eyes widening involuntarily.

Then his pupils dilated, and his eyes almost bulged out.

Why is this guy here?

Seeing the other person sporting a Sakuragi Hanamichi-style hairstyle and wearing black-rimmed glasses, Sun Ziwei was secretly laughing, but he could only force himself to hold it in, which was quite difficult.

He quickly composed himself and sped up the pace to finish:

"I am very much looking forward to seeing how the 'next game from beyond the shore,' which you have personally defined, will amaze the world in the near future."

Finally, on behalf of Beyond Games, I would like to once again welcome all of you to join us.

Thanks! "

Amid applause, Sun Ziwei finished his speech, whispered a few words to Zhang Chao, the vice president of Yishi Bi'an Games, and then hurriedly left.

The latter then introduced the upcoming arrangements:
"Previously at Qing Teng Academy, everyone was already familiar with the company's toolchain, technology stack, and basic collaboration methods."

Over the next month, you will be broken up and divided into several production teams according to the standard project structure of Beyond Games. You will go through the company's entire development process by actually executing a small project.

This is not only to help everyone quickly integrate into the environment and adapt to the pace, but also to cultivate teamwork and tacit understanding.

All completed game demos will undergo a peer review, and high-scoring entries will have the opportunity to be included in the company's official project development.

Chen Mo listened quietly in the corner when suddenly his phone vibrated in his pocket.

It was a message from Sun Ziwei, who had just left the venue:

"Are you crazy? You almost gave me a heart attack just now."

"You can still recognize me like this?"

"I'd recognize you even if you were ashes. What, here on an incognito inspection tour to observe the people's lives?"

"I just want to get a real feel for the level of this year's graduates from Qing Teng, and also see if the onboarding process at the other side has gone astray."

"Okay, whatever makes you happy. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Chen Mo looked up and his eyes met Zhang Chao's on the podium for a moment. He saw a barely perceptible hint of doubt flash across Zhang Chao's eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Zhang Chao seems to have become suspicious. You need to coordinate with him and keep this confidential."

"Okay!"

An hour later, a small conference room that could accommodate more than ten people was set up.

After receiving their tasks, Chen Mo's group entered the brainstorming session.

"Student, do you have any ideas?"

Chen Mo was named. The position he was hired for this time was not as a programmer but as a game designer—after all, he had been away from the front line for many years, and the technology and tools had long been updated. Even he would need to learn them all over again.

He cleared his throat, deliberately adjusted his voice, and calmly stated his well-prepared game plan:

"The game I want to make is similar in framework to the 'battle royale' games on the market, but the core difference lies not in the final 'chicken dinner', but in the chaotic interaction during the process."

Players can bump into each other, drag each other, and even use items to interfere with each other.

This constant possibility of betrayal and cooperation makes every round unpredictable and dramatic.

Chen Mo spoke plainly and directly about the plan, yet for some reason, he instilled a sense of absolute confidence and persuasiveness in the other members, making them empathize with his ideas.

There were a total of 5 game proposals. After a vote by all team members, Chen Mo's proposal was approved by a large majority.

The group then engaged in further discussion regarding the proposal.

An art student commented: "I think the overall style could lean towards bright and cute, softening the characters' aggressiveness and making it easier to evoke players' feelings of pity and protectiveness, which would be especially appealing to younger and female users."

The product team suggested, "Current battle royale games generally have high skill ceilings. We can do the opposite and only retain a few basic controls such as movement, jumping, and rolling, allowing any player to quickly get started and embodying minimalism."

The operations team also joined the discussion: "Short game duration and quick restarts after a loss are perfect for the fragmented mobile experience and easily create a 'let's play another game' flow cycle."

Everyone chimed in, adding details to the plan.

The afternoon passed quietly amidst heated discussions. As the outline of the plan gradually became clearer, although Chen Mo tried to tone down his brilliance, his "god-like attire" still shone through.

Wearing a loose T-shirt, beach shorts, and flip-flops, he seemed to have a built-in buff. Although he didn't talk much during the process, he always managed to get straight to the point and point out the key issues, which still won the attention of the entire group.

Just like with the game proposal, everyone unanimously elected him as the group leader because he had a very deep understanding of games, and also because he looked a bit like Chen Mo.
Chen Mo scratched his head. "I just have some ideas about the game, but being a team leader who oversees the whole situation isn't really my forte. Our product manager, Wang Yi, is more suitable for this role."

Ultimately, Wang Yi, as the newly appointed team leader, steadily advanced the work in accordance with the company's standard procedures and completed the task assignment.

in the coming days.

Chen Mo's habit of "disappearing" as soon as he gets off work inevitably arouses the curiosity of his colleagues, but he always brushes it off with a simple "work is work, life is life".

By day, he is Qi Mo, a newly hired game planner at the Beyond Technology Park, fully immersed in the team's game creation, brainstorming ideas and refining details with team members;
At night, he would return to Ziyu Manor, take charge of the entire Other Shore Business Empire, review various decision-making documents compiled by Lu Qi, record his onboarding experience for the week, and engage in in-depth discussions with several department heads.

The model itself was not problematic. Although it was only a short week, he was amazed by the creativity and execution shown by these newcomers, which led him to exclaim, "The younger generation is truly formidable."

Working together to create the games they wanted, freely discussing their ideas—this pure creative experience was incredibly exciting and fun for young people entering the industry with dreams, and it inspired them as well. While the other groups' projects were still under wraps, they had a glimpse into some developments: there were two-player puzzle games, martial arts roguelike games, and even some wildly imaginative "Frankenstein's monster" concepts—a diverse range of genres.

This precisely confirms the original intention of Sun Ziwei and others in designing this onboarding process—fresh blood will inevitably bring new perspectives and creativity, and with the strong resource support of Beyond, "Beyond Games" can continue to shine with new brilliance.

Of course, he also discovered some minor issues, such as inadequate overtime supervision, especially among newly hired employees who were still secretly holding meetings in small conference rooms after get off work.
Time flies, and it's already late July.

That cute, casual competitive game gradually took shape through everyone's pleasant collaboration and repeated refinement.

Chen Mo thought he could finish the project smoothly and wait for the final review results.

However, a phone call at the end of July, an urgent summons from downtown, interrupted his immersive "onboarding life".

one day ago.

The old man put down the development report for a new energy company in Beijing for the second quarter; some of the data in it was shocking.

This company, which has always enjoyed preferential resources, policies, and support, has delivered a dismal performance.

In stark contrast to the targeted procurement orders of tens of thousands of units, the market's monthly sales volume is less than a thousand units.

Look at Tesla abroad, it can't handle all the global orders, and Musk even had to act like a pushover when he came here to boost production capacity.

Meanwhile, the Miyun factory, with an investment of 50 billion yuan and an annual production capacity of 30 units, has an annual depreciation of 7 million yuan, and the utilization rate of the huge production line is less than 20%.

Even emerging forces like "Weibo" and "Xiaoli" have far surpassed it in market sales, not to mention Tesla, which is about to make its move, and Huawei, which is watching closely from behind.

It's like a basketball player who has been nurtured with all the resources, finally making it into the NBA, and being given a chance by the other side. But after going abroad, it feels like the college entrance exam is over and you suddenly lose all restraint, like a bird soaring freely in the sky.

He plays ball during the day while at work, and plays ball again after get off work at night, indulging in eating and drinking and squandering his talent and opportunities.

He did give them a chance to rectify the situation.

I spoke with the relevant person in charge last year and was given another six months. What was the result?

These resources are so abundant that even a pig could climb a tree, yet these animals are still sunbathing and grunting.
If the last quarter was the final observation period, then now, the old man has already sentenced the company to death in his mind.

Give you a chance, you are useless!
Faced with this reality, the deeply disappointed old man couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "They're all a bunch of complacent old men who rest on their laurels and are just waiting to die without any ambition!"

The previous hesitation has now transformed into an unwavering decision.

The old man's mindset at this moment was just like that of a business owner who had discovered a star employee—he had clearly found a highly capable and competent person who could exceed expectations no matter what task he was given.

Whenever a new challenge arises, his first thought is to pass the heaviest burden to that person.

The reason is simple: this person is truly hardworking and capable of handling any task!

As he pondered this, the old man shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. He never imagined that someone as experienced as himself would unconsciously develop such "path dependence."

He then summoned his secretary and asked casually, "What has Chen Mo been busy with lately?"

Seeing the secretary's hesitant expression and reluctance to speak, the old man laughed instead: "This kid can stir up trouble abroad, he should be more well-behaved back in his own territory, right?"

After careful consideration, the secretary meticulously compiled the gossip about Chen Mo online and reported back—of course, he presented a verified version that was closer to the truth, focusing on the actual relationships between Chen Mo and several women…

As the old man listened to the report, his fingertips tapped lightly on the table, the rhythm steady yet thoughtful.

He certainly understood the feelings between young people. Who hasn't had a youthful, spirited time? But to go through five days in a row with a different outfit, and to parade around like that, was indeed a bit too absurd.

If other scions of prominent families acted this way, he might not have cared so much.

But Chen Mo is different—he has a clean and honest background, and he made his fortune through his own abilities and talents. Only he knows how rare and precious that is in China!

But how can we accept that talented, capable, accomplished, and insightful newcomers, who only think about slacking off and lying around all day and are unwilling to contribute more to the country and society?

"This is really reckless." The old man shook his head gently, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, but also a deeper expectation.

In fact, the secretary also had a good impression of this young man. He knew how to behave appropriately and was considerate of the bigger picture. Moreover, he could share the leader's burdens, especially since TT did what he had always wanted to do in private in front of the whole world.

Although the leaders put in a lot of effort afterward, the benefits far outweighed the drawbacks overall. Therefore, regarding Chen Mo's romantic relationship issues, the secretary still offered an explanation: "Uh, boss... neither of them is married, it's not a big deal, is it?"

“I plan to have this good-for-nothing kid personally build cars,” the old man said, looking up at his secretary. “What do you think?”

"Given the current financial strength and industrial layout of the other side, coupled with Chen Mo's own capabilities, he is indeed the most suitable candidate in China. However, during our last meeting, although he verbally said he would consider it, his attitude suggested he didn't want to take over personally."

The old man gave a soft hum, his eyes revealing an unwavering resolve:
"Call him to see me tomorrow."

"Yes!"

On the evening of the last day of July, Chen Mo arrived as promised.

When the old man looked up and saw his neat short hair, his carefully maintained stern expression instantly crumbled, and he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "What's with your hair?"

Unable to fathom the purpose of this urgent summons, Chen Mo could only raise his hand to touch his slightly prickly stubble and say with a smile, "It's getting hot, a shorter cut is more convenient."

“Very good, very good,” the old man nodded meaningfully, “Let’s consider it a fresh start.”

This seemingly random sentence made Chen Mo's heart pound.

What do you mean, "starting from scratch"? He wasn't just released from there.
It wasn't until the conversation unfolded that he truly understood the weight of the words "starting from scratch".

"Building cars? Me?" Chen Mo pointed at himself in disbelief, not expecting the old topic to be brought up again.

Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and began to play the victim card: "Boss, don't be fooled by the fact that the other side has accumulated some wealth over the years. We have always focused on the software field and really have no experience in car manufacturing."

This statement is consistent with the usual style of the other side—throughout their development, they have basically focused on strengthening themselves and rarely take the initiative to provoke disputes. Only when they are pushed to the limit do they occasionally reveal their ferocity and then amaze the world. This is highly consistent with their consistent style.

The old man clearly wouldn't listen to his excuses.
"Chen Mo, this is a mission assigned to you by the organization, and it is also a sign of their trust in you and their recognition of the other side!"
