Chapter 111 Promise
Si Jinliang looked at Tang Yao and realized that she was not joking, so he fell silent.

He was in a tangle.

To be honest, he didn't quite believe what Tang Yao had just said. It wasn't that he looked down on Tang Yao's abilities, he really respected her too much... After all, the success of "Fate/Grand Order" proved that under the control variable method, the traitor found was himself...

It’s just that “Dou Pai” is his hard work, and he can be said to be in a fog over the gaming industry. He can only use his shallow experience to advise Tang Yao.

But card games are definitely not!
He has plenty of confidence.

Tang Yao definitely didn't understand this type of game, so when she heard Tang Yao say that she could change it, her first reaction was that she was just like herself when she first entered the industry, thinking everything was too simple, taking the rules and mechanics, the two core points of card games, for granted, and ignoring the complex relationship between "fun" and "simple".

It's too difficult to make it deep, simple and fun at the same time.

"It's okay if you say no."

Tang Yao saw Si Jinliang's dilemma, but didn't embarrass him. Instead, she said frankly, "I didn't invite you to humiliate you, nor did I want the current staff at Avalon Studio to see that their boss had such a petty idea. It's mainly for the game. You have a lot of ideas about card games.

It would be better if the investors give you some more time. I even think you can revitalize "Fighting Cards"... In the final analysis, they value your ability.

But this is mutual. After all, not to mention that you were the boss of Mingyu Technology before, and now you are working in a small studio full of former employees, which may not be comfortable with this. If you don't trust my ability, you can actually refuse. There is no need to embarrass yourself for the sake of face and end up in a unhappy situation. "

"..."

Si Jinliang heard Tang Yao's frank words, looked at her expression, which showed no trace of joking, and thought about the success of "Fate/Grand Order" and those designs that amazed him...

See how she changed it?

Think of this.

Although Si Jinliang was still a little worried, he said as if possessed by some strange force: "If you really don't despise me as a loser, I would really like to give it a try..."

Tang Yao smiled softly when she heard this.

"but."

Si Jinliang added: "Let's not talk about how to change the game itself. Although I have great confidence in card games, I am ultimately a loser... But there is one thing I must say."

Speaking of which.

He paused and said hesitantly, "The game 'Fighting Cards' not only left a bad impression on me, but also left painful memories for everyone else at Mingyu Technology. When the time comes to launch the project, people inside might not be optimistic about it... After all, it's already failed once, and now Avalon Studios is thriving again. What if something goes wrong..."

He didn't go on.

But Tang Yao knew what he wanted to say and said directly, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter. 'Dou Pai' is 'Dou Pai', and it is not the same as the new game from Avalon Studio."

"Then I'm relieved. When will I start work?"

After hearing this, Si Jinliang said nothing more.

Instead, he suddenly relaxed.

Because he didn't have to worry about such things. He only needed to think about how to make the game. He didn't even have to worry about whether he would make money or not. After all, it seemed like Fate/Grand Order was making a lot of money...

Maybe... I'm really not suitable to be a manager?
Si Jinliang sensed the relief deep in his heart, and suddenly he understood something and smiled at himself.

"Don't worry about this for now, but will you be embarrassed?"

Tang Yao blinked, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Next, you will be working with the former staff of Mingyu Technology and facing your former subordinates..."

"What's so embarrassing about this?"

Si Jinliang gave a bitter laugh. "What's even more embarrassing is that I can't pay salaries. Everyone knows everything. They all know the situation at Mingyu Technology... Even if I don't stay here, they know what I'll do next. And I'm really not a qualified boss. In the end, the whole company is in such a mess..."

Even if someone rolls their eyes at me, I can understand."

"I hope you can relax."

Tang Yao didn't say anything after hearing this. She was just worried that his pride wouldn't be able to handle it. After all, he was down and out now, but he had once been glorious. This kind of disparity was the easiest to tease out a person's fragile heart. As long as he understood, it was fine. "Then let's talk about the ownership of the game?"

Hear this.

Si Jinliang hasn't spoken yet.

Li Xue asked first, "Mr. Si, are you sure you own the game? Are there any hidden clauses or anything like that from the investors?"

And now it was Tang Yao's turn to shut up.

Mainly in this aspect, Li Xue is more experienced.

Si Jinliang looked curiously at the two people with clear division of labor, but didn't say anything. He started explaining directly to Li Xue.

The two negotiated for a while and confirmed the agreement contract left by Mingyu Technology, and then the matter was settled.

"Sublet the entire studio to me." Seeing that the game plan had been finalized, Tang Yao started talking about other things. "Then you can all stay outside to work, and most of the people in Avalon Studio can move out. When the time is almost up, you can use that place as the finance office..."

"Row."

Si Jinliang nodded. He was prepared for this, but he was a little amused.

Okay.

Go round and round.

That place used to be the finance office.

The reason why Tang Yao rented that place was because it was not big and cheap, and now it is about to be turned back into the finance office.

It belongs to returning the property to its original owner.

Nothing has changed, the employees are the same, only the boss has changed, and the company name has also changed...

Fortune plays tricks on people.

"Also, let's sell the equipment to Avalon Studios."

Tang Yao continued, "And then there's the operations team over there..."

She looked at the few remaining members of the operations team.

Tang Yao has not forgotten the most important thing at the moment, and is not in a hurry to make the second game.

The most urgent thing now is to find suitable operation personnel for "Fate/Grand Order" and formalize the Avalon studio, which is like a makeshift team.

"Their contract is not with Mingyu Technology."

Si Jinliang knew what Tang Yao wanted to ask and sighed, "The salary from the investors is about to be discontinued, and now that 'Fighting Cards' is shutting down, they are leaving soon."

Tang Yao asked curiously, "What are their abilities?"

"very nice."

Si Jinliang said directly: "They are all very capable people."

"Could you please mention it to them? Ask them if they'd like to come to Avalon Studios?"

Tang Yao's eyes lit up.

If someone else were to hear what Si Jinliang said, they would definitely be skeptical.

After all, your company is in such a mess, how can they be any better?
But Tang Yao really believed it, because Avalon Studio had a lot of people from Mingyu Technology, all of them were talented. Although they spoke unpleasantly and stared at her every day, and had some minor shortcomings, they were all capable and motivated people.

I dare not say anything else about Si Jinliang, but he is reassuring in his ability to judge people.

"Okay... I'll try to invite them."

"Then trouble you."

Tang Yao nodded, then thought carefully for a moment and said, "After this matter, you will be the head of Avalon Studio's second game project team. However, Fate/Grand Order has just been launched, so we can't transfer too many people from Avalon Studio. I can only give you a few people. When the time comes, you can decide who you want and then discuss it internally.

Also, although we've decided to make a second game, we definitely won't have the resources to give you guys at the beginning... I'll first give you a plan for how to change the underlying game rules, and you'll have to modify the game framework on your own first."

"no problem."

Si Jinliang could understand that "Fate/Grand Order" now seemed to be a goose that laid golden eggs.

This must be well protected. If he were in his place, he would first stabilize this goose that lays golden eggs.

but……

"How exactly did you change it? Can you tell me now?"

Si Jinliang asked curiously.

There's still a sense of half-belief and half-doubt in it.

The reason why he agreed to Tang Yao was more because of the success of "Fate/Grand Order" and some intuition that he couldn't explain.

He always felt that the beautiful girl in front of him would give him a surprise.

Although it makes some sense if you think about it carefully.

Tang Yao didn't rush to answer, but just smiled and said, "I will give you the plan as soon as possible, and you will know when the time comes."
