You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 417: Mr. Lu: I heard you particularly like involution? (2 in 1 order)

Lu Yu decided that he must continue to steer the project in the wrong direction and must not allow Wan Xiaotong to create such an excellent large-world exploration gameplay.

However, if you reject it twice in a row, it will seem too fake!

So, Lu Yu said seriously:

"I think the big world exploration gameplay you proposed is certainly good, but I hope you can take it a step further based on these gameplay methods!
For example, why can't we combine the exploration of the big world with the two elements of dreams and somatosensory cabins?

Xiaotong, after all, you are the genius planner who created "Super Time Travel Moe Girl", I have even higher expectations for you!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Wan Xiaotong was stunned at first, and then her eyes became brighter, as if a spark of inspiration burst out instantly, making her whole body tremble with excitement.

She took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes moved, and she told the story slowly.

Xu Qin quickly translated:

"Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean! Combining the open world with dreams and a virtual immersive cabin is undoubtedly a leap forward for open-world games! We might as well take a bold step and give players a whole new way of exploration!"

“We might as well divide the entire game world into two levels: the ‘dream world’ and the ‘real world’.

When the protagonist Zhong Wuye is dreaming, he enters a dream world full of fantasy and self-consistent rules and wanders there; once he wakes up, he enters a virtual reality that is highly consistent with the real world.

"In dreams, players can unleash their imaginations, unleash their unique skills in a magnificent world, and experience the supreme thrill of being part of a magical celestial adventure! Flying with swords, casting spells, and battling immortals and Buddhas are all possible. Furthermore, the rules of that world don't adhere to the laws of physics, so when players unleash their magical skills, the scenes will be incredibly gorgeous and fantastical, a truly exhilarating experience!"

"Once players wake up and return to reality, they'll enter a world of ancient martial arts that closely resembles the real world. This world adheres to the pure laws of physics, so combat and movement will be even more powerful and fluid, and you'll feel the exhilaration of being in a real-life fight!"

But these two worlds are not completely separated. There are many connections between them, and they are interconnected.

For example, equipment and magic weapons obtained in dreams can be brought into virtual reality for use; injuries sustained in the real world can also be carried over into dreams.
We can also explore various interesting dream entry forms, allowing players to immerse themselves in them in different ways. For example, players can walk into a cursed dream demon room in virtual reality, meditate, devour dream demons, and so on, thus actively immersing themselves in the dream world; or find a mirror pool in virtual reality, and gaze into it to see the scenery of the dream world.
"In short, we will create a brand new experience for players where two worlds intertwine! This novel and exciting fantasy world will make players feel a sharp sense of confusion between reality and illusion, and at other times, a sense of true reality, as if everything is in a dream!"

Wan Xiaotong said this, took a breath, and looked at Lu Yu expectantly.

When Lu Yu heard this, he nodded silently.
Great! This is exactly the kind of idea that is incredibly difficult to implement!
He then smiled slowly:
"Good, good, great! It seems you're serious this time. This kind of concept is enough to make our debut masterpiece a world-shaking sensation! I look forward to your continued efforts to make this dream a reality!"

……

After the game development meeting, Lu Yu walked out of the office feeling very happy.

Hahahaha... Fortunately, he is smart enough to gather the three little backstabbing masters together in this cycle. In this way, the difficulty of achieving this fairy game called "Never Night" will probably soar exponentially, right?
Now, Lu Yu has solved the two major problems, the somatosensory cabin and the game project.

Now, he decided to free up his hands temporarily and continue to deal with the internal cancer in the company!

So, he took out his little notebook and looked at the assassination lists recorded on it:

"Zhao Gang, the production line supervisor with no technical skills, cuts down on his team members' rest time."

Li Hui, the workshop safety inspector at Xiaohutuxian Company, took advantage of a personal grudge with his colleague Wang Meng to create difficulties, escalating the conflict between the two.

"The manager of three Maozhiming chain stores exploited his position to withhold and embezzle half of the employee benefits distributed by the head office, causing the remaining half of the employees to fight internally over the limited benefits."

Wu Xin, a newcomer to Taoyuan Huimeng's animation team, worked tirelessly on animation for three weeks overnight because she was competing with another intern for a permanent position.

This series of blacklists is enough to make him feel overwhelmed.

but!

There are priorities.

He decided to start with senior management, starting with Zhao Gang, who had no technical skills.

……

So, Lu Yu rushed to the Useless Technology Company in a dusty manner.

When Mao Wuyong heard that President Lu had suddenly arrived in person without saying hello, he hurried out to greet him.

"Mr. Lu, what brings you here? Our somatosensory cabin prototype is currently in the lab..."

Lu Yu waved his hand: "Don't talk about this for now."

Lu Yu didn't waste a word with him and rushed into the production workshop exhausted.

On an autumn afternoon, the factory workshop was filled with heat waves.

Zhao Gang, a middle-aged fat man, paced back and forth on the production line with a grim face. His shirt was already soaked with sweat, which made his fat figure look even more prominent.

"How do you work, you bastards? Hurry up! If you're any slower, you won't get off work!"

He roared at a row of busy workers with a gloomy face. The workers lowered their heads and moved more quickly, but they didn't dare to talk back.

At this moment, the factory gate slammed open.

The workers saw a tall young man walk in and go straight towards Zhao Gang.

The man exudes an unquestionable majesty.

The workers chattered:

"That looks like our big boss, Mr. Lu. I saw him on the TV news!"

"What's he doing here, a busy man?"

"Shh, let's stop talking nonsense, or we'll be scolded by Manager Zhao again."

Lu Yu walked straight up to Zhao Gang and glanced at the workers around him who were working in a miserable state.

"Manager Zhao, I have to say this is truly amusing. Taoyuan Township has put a lot of thought into developing employee welfare policies to protect everyone's rights. And yet, you've completely disregarded all of those regulations in order to exploit the workers."

As Lu Yu spoke, he folded his arms across his chest and glanced at the other person with eyes as sharp as lightning.

Zhao was about to say something to evade the question, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was not right, so he simply said awkwardly:
"Mr. Lu, you are right about this.
I am doing this for the benefit of the company. These workers are mostly from all walks of life, and they cannot be controlled without some tricks. If you are soft-hearted, you can't control them.

Zhao Gang nodded in acknowledgment on the surface, but secretly approached Lu Yu with a sly look in his eyes, and continued to flatter him quietly:

"Mr. Lu, actually, I understand what you mean. To put it bluntly, the company's welfare system is just a showpiece, for outsiders to see and to shape the company's image.

Don't worry, I will definitely continue to strictly compress the workers' working hours."

Lu Yu's forehead veins bulged, and he sneered:

"It seems you have a distorted understanding of the company's welfare system. So, you don't understand why I'm promoting efficiency reduction and cost increase? I'll show you the consequences of the ultimate pursuit of efficiency!"

After that, Lu Yu boldly grabbed Zhao Gang and dragged him to the main control panel. This core control panel was densely packed with buttons and levers, and the intricate programming was dazzling.

"Manager Zhao, as a manager, shouldn't you lead by example?"

"Mr. Lu, I... I'm not very good at it." Zhao Gang was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, cold sweat all over his body.

“Shut up! Show me your craft!”

Lu Yu shouted loudly and immediately started the control system, and the entire production line suddenly started running at full speed.

Suddenly, thousands of control signals poured in from all directions like raindrops, surrounding Zhao Gang at the control table. He was at a loss, his eyes wide open, not knowing where to start.

"Manager Zhao, please be careful. If you mess up the order, it will be disastrous."

Lu Yu smiled and patted Zhao Gang's shoulder, then cleared his throat and imitated Zhao Gang's tone of scolding the workers, and shouted,

"Watch this carefully! Remember, productivity is a matter of every minute. I won't allow you to hesitate or waver even for a moment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the buttons and joysticks flashed rows of infrared rays, and Zhao Gang's front was instantly as bright as day.

He was seen controlling hundreds of devices on the instrument panel with his hands, his eyes darting back and forth between the keys like a whirlwind, sometimes shrinking, sometimes pausing, and his movements becoming increasingly hectic.

No sooner said than done, there were bursts of rapid breaking sounds.

It turned out that Zhao Gang's movements could not keep up with the speed of the system, and he did not have time to press several buttons, causing the entire assembly line to be disconnected. Many semi-finished parts were kicked out and scattered all over the ground.

Zhao Gang seized the opportunity to recalibrate. His hands moved nervously on the operating table, but just as things were about to return to normal, a small mistake caused another large-scale explosion, leaving the ground in a mess.

……

Lu Yu stepped forward with anger, and continued to imitate Zhao Gang's previous scolding tone, saying:
"You're so stupid! With just these little tricks, you still dare to say you want to sit in this position?!
So much manpower and material resources have been wasted. Do you know how much you will have to pay out of your own pocket in compensation? Go on, let everyone come and learn from your exemplary example."

A group of workers gathered around and saw that Zhao Gang was sweating all over, his pants were already soaked with sweat, and he was shivering all over.

"Mr. Lu, this kind of high-intensity physical work is really beyond the ability of a manager like me who has been away from the production line for many years." Zhao Gang scratched his head with a dry laugh, but the machine under his hands had been quietly started by the workers, and infrared rays fell on the operating table.

"No, please forgive me, Mr. Lu!"

Zhao Gang ran away in panic, completely devastated. Just as he was about to crash, the workshop erupted in laughter.

The employees continued to chatter and tease Zhao Gang in the same tone as before:
"Manager Zhao, you are so efficient!"

"I think if you do a job like this, you can forget about overtime pay!"

"How about you take two days of sick leave to calm your mind? Of course, you won't be paid during the leave."

The workers surrounded Zhao Gang and humiliated him, and the scene quickly turned into a farce. Seeing that Zhao Gang was already in a state of disgrace, Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction and then slowly spoke:
"Zhao Gang, do you think improving efficiency means making employees work overtime and cutting their benefits? Looking at what happened today, you've truly grasped the consequences of long-term, high-intensity work, haven't you?"

Zhao Gang felt so ashamed that he collapsed to the ground and could only nod silently.

Lu Yu looked around at the workers in the workshop and said,

"So, from now on, Wushou Technology will abolish all forms of forced overtime and cancel working hour controls!
At the same time, we will also moderately increase salary standards and expand employee benefits so that everyone can truly feel the company's emphasis on them."

The workers were delighted upon hearing this. Some couldn't help but burst into tears, while others burst into laughter. Even Zhao Gang, who had previously been critical of Lu Yu, was moved by his straightforward words.

"Mr. Lu said it very well! We will definitely use our own practical actions to uphold the righteous spirit of Taoyuan Township!"

"Yes, yes, let's work together to make the company more prosperous!"

"Look, you're calling them skilled workers! With this little skill, you dare to say you want to exploit us?"

"Boss Lu, this time he's really stumped!"

"Why don't you invite him to a training course?"

The workers laughed.

Poor Zhao Gang was completely at a loss, and the entire console was a mess. In the end, Lu Yu ordered his men to drag him off the console and throw him aside.

"You see, there is no need to exploit employees to achieve efficiency. The key lies in systematic management. My purpose today is just to make you understand this. I hope you remember this lesson!" Lu Yu said earnestly, turned around and walked out of the factory.

Faced with Zhao Gang's utter disgrace, the workers burst into laughter and applauded enthusiastically, but Zhao Gang felt utterly ashamed.

Lu Yu sneered: "Okay, that's good to know. You don't need to come tomorrow. You have been fired by Taoyuan Township. But don't worry, we will pay you the dismissal compensation. Our temple is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."

Zhao Gang was confused and left in disappointment.

At this time, the workers realized that Lu Yu had wanted to fire Zhao Gang for a long time, and the reason he did this just now was to vent everyone's anger!

It was midsummer, the sun was shining brightly, but inside the workshop, a fresh breeze seemed to be blowing.

The workers regained their hope and vision for the future, and resolved the long-standing internal friction and anxiety in this burst of cheerful cheers!

However, all this is just the beginning of Lu Yu's approach!
