My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 146 Before the Journey
"Oh?" Zhou Kuang's appetite was piqued after hearing Niu Tieming's words.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

"Hahaha, it must be good news. You won't be disappointed when you hear it."

Niu Tieming laughed heartily, then changed the subject.

"By the way, what are your plans next?"

"Huh? What plan? Of course, continue to fix bugs." Zhou Kuang answered as a matter of course without even thinking.

"I'm not referring to this. I'm asking what plans Kuangshi Games has after Netherworld Mountain and Sea."

When Zhou Kuang heard this, he subconsciously opened the system panel.

[System Task 03: Complete and release "Netherworld Mountain and Sea", and achieve game sales of million copies]

This is the only unfinished system task in his system panel, and it is only a matter of time for "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" to reach the sales target of five million copies.

The gap between four million and five million copies sold is just a step away.

It may only take a few days, or at most a few weeks, but in any case, with the current upward trend in sales, the goal of completing the system task is just around the corner.

"Let's take a break first. The employees have been working non-stop for two years. We need to take a break for at least one to two months."

"As for the future plans, I already have some preliminary ideas. I'll tell you when I think it through."

What Zhou Kuang said was actually half true and half false. He did have a lot of ideas about games. After all, he was a time traveler, so it was impossible for him to lack game plans in his mind.

But he would rather wait until he completes the last system task before making a decision.

See what kind of rewards you can get, and then choose the company's next plan based on the props you have on hand.

Therefore, he is now waiting for the sales of "Youming Shanhai" to reach five million. At that time, it will be time to decide which direction the next work will go.

"Okay, feel free to come to me when you've thought it through!" Niu Tieming had no objection. For a company like Megvii Games, which was almost an independent company, he only had the right to make suggestions.

What's more, under Zhou Kuang's management, Kuangshi Games operates in an orderly manner and he doesn't need to worry about anything.

"If you need my help, just tell me."

"of course."

The two also talked about the sales of "Youming Shanhai" on the begamer platform and how to promote the game in the next period of time.

Zhou Kuang didn't pay much attention to the begamer aspect. Since Niu Tieming cared a lot about the effect of the game on driving the platform, he might as well let him take charge of it.

He thought of it as a favor and was happy to have some free time.

Wait to collect the money.

……

……

……

In the afternoon, Niu Tieming came to the office of Kuangshi Games, and Zhou Kuang was discussing the rotation order for the next few days with Feng Qi.

"I'll be there right away. Take Mr. Niu to my office first."

Zhou Kuang gave an order, and an employee nodded and took Niu Tieming to the boss's office.

Feng Qi asked with a smile: "Brother Kuang, what's the matter? Is he here to share the money with us?"

"You're dreaming, but it's still too early!" Zhou Kuang scolded with a smile, "He called me today and asked me what I was going to do for my next project."

"How did you answer?" he asked casually, his eyes full of curiosity.

"What else can I say? Just say I haven't thought about it yet."

Zhou Kuang suddenly remembered something and asked Feng Qi.

"Have any old colleagues contacted you recently?" "Yes, quite a lot." Feng Qi showed a slightly smug smile on his face.

When Feng Qi left Antarctic Interactive Entertainment, his highest position was producer of the entire project, so many of his colleagues felt it was a pity.

After all, anyone who can become a game producer at Antarctic Interactive Entertainment can be said to be a rare talent, and if they take the next step forward, they will most likely be promoted to a senior management position.

Many people in the gaming industry, regardless of their current positions, have a lifelong wish to transition to a management position before the age of 35.

After all, many positions are considered young people's jobs, and the old wave can easily be washed ashore by the new wave.

But if you become a senior manager, you don't have to worry about your job. As long as you don't make big mistakes, general layoffs will not target senior executives.

Even if you are just an ordinary manager, your job security is more stable than that of ordinary employees.

The people who work like oxen and horses at the bottom are the main group that bears the brunt of the blame.

Therefore, many of Feng Qi’s former colleagues at Antarctic Interactive Entertainment thought that Feng Qi chose to leave because he could not stand the exclusion.

However, as soon as "The Netherworld" came out, all the speculations and rumors were refuted.

Feng Qi, the producer of the first domestic 3A stand-alone game, "Youming Shanhai", which sold millions of copies.

When this name was called out, my colleagues were stunned.

It turned out that Feng Qi did not leave Tangping on his own initiative, but chose another more difficult but glorious path.

It actually worked.

Many of my former colleagues were instantly tempted. I have the ability to make stand-alone games. Who would want to make a pay-to-win social game?
So, one by one, they shamelessly found Feng Qi and asked him to recommend them to an internal team.

Originally, Feng Qi hadn't figured out what to do. These people were indeed capable, but if he recommended someone internally, would Zhou Kuang think he was giving them a backdoor?

However, now that Zhou Kuang had taken the initiative to bring it up, he didn't have to worry, because it was obvious that the other party wanted to recruit talented people, and they hit it off with these employees who wanted to switch jobs.

"Well, when you have time, send me their resumes and I'll take a look."

"If you don't mind, you can write me a list of your subjective opinions on each person," Zhou Kuang said.

"This is not good."

Feng Qi was a little hesitant. This was a bit offensive. When those who were rejected found out, wouldn't they think it was because he had said bad things behind their backs?
Moreover, his feelings may not be accurate. There were some game developers that he looked down upon in the past, but they were still able to make successful products.

Whether or not you can make a good game depends on many factors.

"It's okay. I won't tell anyone about it or show it to anyone. I'll just use it as a reference."

"Besides, these new recruits will all be yours in the future, so you have to pick them out first!"

After hearing what Zhou Kuang said, Feng Qi couldn't refuse.

"Should we ask Yang Ji to make a similar list as well? There should be quite a few people looking for him as well," Zhou Kuang asked.

When Feng Qi heard this, his expression became slightly embarrassed.

"Well, he's not a very sociable person, but I can ask."

"But from what I know about him, I don't have to hold too high expectations."

Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Kuang nodded.

Indeed, it would be a strange thing if Yang Ji had friends all over the world like Feng Qi.

"Please ask other people for me too. The company wants to expand, so it would be helpful to find some people you know well."

"Okay, I'll tell them."

Feng Qi nodded, knowing that Zhou Kuang wanted him to ask the team leaders.

After chatting for a few minutes, Zhou Kuang handed the work to Feng Qi and turned to find Niu Tieming.
