Chapter 82: Can this be the explanation for poaching people?

Tang Yao really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly at first.

The history of the development of the second dimension games in his previous life, to put it bluntly, was a process in which the popularity gradually increased, the scale of the second dimension users continued to expand, the pioneers made huge profits, capital flocked to it, and then... their legs were broken and they all dispersed.

Perhaps many people don’t know that in the era of the second generation of mobile games, that is, the era of the popular Million Arthur, domestic mobile games did not require review before they were launched.

After all, it was a barbaric era, and it was also during this era that the huge success of this imported game made some keen manufacturers smell business opportunities. Then the second-tier games ushered in their first outbreak. The phenomenal mobile games Onmyoji, FGO, Honkai Impact 3rd, Girls' Frontline, and Azur Lane almost all appeared in 1617 and .

At that time, as long as you said you were a second-tier tourist, investors would flock to you.

It just didn't last long.

In 2018, the famous cold winter arrived. The pressure of game licenses interrupted the process of investors and game manufacturers dividing the second-game cake, and directly shattered the dreams of countless producers.

It was not until the approval of game licenses was gradually unfrozen that the entire market recovered. It was also during this period that second-tier games gradually developed towards unique artistic styles and deeply rooted plot settings. The more representative ones during this period should be Arknights and Honkai Impact 3rd.

Finally... it's the game that plays on the launch meme. The huge success of Genshin Impact has brought the domestic second-game research and development boom to a new peak. Countless manufacturers began to fantasize about copying a second one. For example, Tencent waved its hand and directly launched dozens of second-game projects... But the second Genshin Impact did not appear. Instead, with the emergence of one second-game after another, the market reached saturation and officially entered the inventory era. Manufacturers began to compete for users.

During this process, mobile phone hardware has been constantly iterating, the two-dimensional market has been heating up, and the number of pan-two-dimensional users has been increasing, which has created the prosperous mobile game market.

But the world Tang Yao is currently in is still in the wild age of mobile games... She thought she had to cultivate users slowly, but she didn't expect that the number of pan-two-dimensional users would be so large at this moment.

Moreover, for such a large group, there is still no real second-hand tour. Is it because Sakura Mansion is divided into autonomous regions? Tang Yao doesn't quite understand.

I can only say... she came at the right time. If she had come a little later, Tang Yao might have started a business with other manufacturers.

but……

After being excited for a while, Tang Yao quickly calmed down and looked at the computer screen with a pensive expression.

Although the website is very popular, readers don't think about it in terms of games. Don't be careless... As long as "Fate/Zero" maintains its current popularity and has the gimmick of a direct sequel, even readers who don't like games will probably check it out. So now, in addition to steadily advancing "Fate Stay Night" as the prologue, the most important aspects of the game, the balance of krypton gold, also need to be perfect... Even if it can't be perfect, we must try our best to achieve a certain balance.

After all, it is the first real second game.

In addition, they need to be fast, as game manufacturers have a keen sense of smell... Plus, the competition in the PC game market is so bloody now, many game companies have also turned their attention to the mobile market.

Although most of the time, large companies do not pay much attention to blue oceans without successful cases. For example, the famous Onmyoji actually had only nine people in the initial project team.

But what if a manufacturer has already started planning, and seeing the situation of "Fate/Zero", also wants to make a two-dimensional game...

Ok.

Tang Yao looked at Chu Yuxin... There must be some people at Mingyu Technology who haven't found a job yet, right? Why not hire a few more? These people all have project experience.

Programming and art are not enough.

Even the remaining operations team outside...

Think of this.

Tang Yao stood up immediately.

……

"You need more people?"

Chu Yuxin frowned and looked at Tang Yao: "What kind of people do you need? When I was at Mingyu Technology, I rarely came into contact with other departments..."

"Programming and Art, these two departments should come into contact frequently, right?"

Tang Yao thought for a moment and replied, "Is there anyone who left a deep impression on you?"

In fact, it would be best to ask Si Jinliang, the boss of Mingyu Technology, about this matter. After all, he definitely knows better which of his employees is the better.

But right.

Tang Yao felt that it was better to avoid this kind of behavior similar to in-person NTR...

Most importantly, she didn't know how to say it. Hey, my studio is short of people, and your company is going bankrupt anyway, so why don't you call over those employees who are still owed wages and introduce them to me.

Ok……

It feels a bit too inhumane.

"There are actually quite a few, and they're quite impressive..."

Chu Yuxin lowered her head and thought carefully, then replied: "I'll ask for you, but I can't guarantee success. Besides, if more people come later, we'll have to move a lot of computers without getting paid..."

"Go, go, go."

Tang Yao was a little amused and said, "If we fail, you can take away as many computers as you want."

"I'm not saying you're going to fail."

Chu Yuxin seemed a little embarrassed when she heard this, and replied, "But they all worked for Si Jinliang... You cheered just now, right? That website was very successful. Mingyu Technology actually had a similar moment. Everyone was very excited at that time, but in the end it turned out to be Huang Ran Yimeng..."

"It's just a dream."

Tang Yao corrected him with a smile, then continued, "So that's why you were so calm when Kang Ming and the others were cheering? You just watched?"

"Well, because we're worried about it happening again..."

Chu Yuxin pursed her lips. "If it were a new environment, it would be fine, but now we're inside Mingyu Technology, and it feels like yesterday is happening all over again... I'm making a promise to you because of this. I believe the other people at Mingyu Technology will feel the same way when they see you cheering. Since I invited them, I have to think of a way out for them..."

"I understand. I promise."

Tang Yao nodded, probably understanding her thoughts.

"but."

Tang Yao changed the subject: "We are not like Mingyu Technology. I am not Si Jinliang... Besides, you are no longer a member of Mingyu Technology. You are now a member of Avalon, the ideal country.

Do you know why our studio is called this name? "

"Why……?"

Chu Yuxin was stunned for a moment, looked at Tang Yao, and repeated the name of the studio.

She really doesn't know.

After all, she hadn't arrived when Tang Yao was fooling Kang Ming and the other two.

"Because, in Arthurian legend, Avalon is surrounded by swamps and mists, and can only be reached by boat... and the island is guarded by elves. There is no time or age, and nothing will age."

Tang Yao said seriously, "Look, our logo is a boat, right? We're inside Mingyu Technology, right? So what is Mingyu Technology outside? It's a swamp and fog... The failures and hardships you encountered at Mingyu Technology were only to get you here, to the utopia."

"what?"

Chu Yuxin was stunned.

Poaching... can this be explained as such?
"Just kidding... What I really mean is that although the location is the same, although we are still on this floor, we are inside Mingyu Technology, but we are Avalon, not the company you were before."

Tang Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I have confidence. Please help me invite the former employees of Mingyu Technology... They will see the difference. Believe me!"

"..."

Chu Yuxin looked at the charming smile on Tang Yao's face, feeling the confidence she exuded from inside and out, and nodded subconsciously: "Okay."

...What exactly is the difference?

They're obviously making games.

She still couldn't figure it out, but this new boss... was really dazzling.
