Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Li Hua, the head of the game department, said blankly, "President Chen, this medical management system doesn't quite fit our company's current business, does it? We've always focused on game development and related businesses."

Chen Dong found this quite amusing.

This 361 Company isn't a game development company at all, it's a software company.

However, as things have progressed to this point, even Chen Dong himself is not very confident about this.

After all, Chen Dong was planning to go into pig farming or, depending on the situation, go into geese farming.

I don't intend to live a miserable life like in my previous life, running around doing business and investing in various industries, working hard for over twenty years to only have a pitiful net worth of two billion.

Chen Dong pointed to Ma Aiguo, the head of the software department sitting next to Li Hua, and said with a smile, "Old Li, have you forgotten that our company also has a software business?"

"Although the software department's main business is currently 361 Online Antivirus, we cannot limit ourselves to that. There is huge market demand for medical management systems in the future, and we must seize this opportunity to explore new business areas."

After hearing this, Li Hua suddenly realized what was going on, and then scratched his head sheepishly.

As the company's development shifted towards games, Li Hua didn't really pay attention to this technology, always feeling that it was dispensable.

If the company hadn't made its first fortune from this software, it probably would have shut down the business long ago.

Currently, the profitability of 361 Antivirus is, well, not exactly lackluster, but less than one-tenth of that of gaming software.

At this moment, Ma Aiguo, the head of the software section of the program department, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, stood up excitedly upon hearing the words "medical management system".

Finally, it's no longer a cartridge game, but something related to software!

We can't just leave this to the game design department, can we?

The software engineering department has finally gotten its chance!

This naturally excited Ma Aiguo, the head of the software department. He only had one programming team under his command, which meant he had four subordinates.

My main responsibility is maintaining 361 Online Antivirus software, but I haven't had the opportunity to expand my business.

Looking at Li Hua, who was also a section chief, he saw that Li Hua had expanded to eight programming groups under his command, while he only had one!

Rather than being a section chief, he could only manage one group of four people.

Seeing Li Hua's success and glory in the company, Ma Aiguo couldn't be more envious.

Seeing Ma Aiguo's excited expression, Chen Dong naturally knew why he was so excited, and said with a smile, "Old Ma, this programming team is temporarily seconded to your software department. After completing the development of the medical management system, it will return to the game department."

When Li Hua heard the first part of the sentence, he was a little worried that the programming team might not return the money. After all, this programming team was an elite team that he had carefully selected to curry favor with their boss, Chen Dong.

If the boss borrows it and never returns it to the software department, then I'll have suffered a huge loss.

But after hearing the second half of the sentence, Li Hua finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Chen Dong looked at the HR manager, the 32-year-old mature woman Li Li, and said with a slightly serious expression, "Manager Li, the company has a new business expansion plan. Please recruit three more people for the programming team."

"It's still a four-person team for each programming group, which means we still need twelve more. Arrange it as soon as possible, and make sure the people you recruit are highly skilled and, as far as possible, not novices."

361° has long since overcome the early difficulties of insufficient funds and personnel, and there is absolutely no need for them to bring in any newbies.

Even though Chen Dong said that, he was actually unsure of himself.

Because these days, programmers are such a rare breed.

In 96, to become a programmer, you absolutely had to come from a wealthy family, and it was only because you were in Beijing that you could easily find one.

If 361 Inc. isn't located in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, and they want to hire programmers? Dream on!

A self-taught programmer first needs to be able to afford a computer worth 10,000 yuan, not to mention other expenses such as living expenses and learning fees to support a programmer's studies.

Even though the number of people with 10,000 yuan in this era is not as high as in the past, a family that can afford a computer costing 10,000 yuan must be considered middle class, with assets of at least 100,000 yuan.

In this era, programmers are paid ten times more than other professions!

For ordinary people from humble backgrounds to become programmers, it will have to be ten years from now, when internet cafes become popular.

As for why not set up a training base, frankly, Chen Dong can't afford to operate on a large scale, and if it's too small, it's meaningless to train only a few people every few years.

Upon hearing this, HR Manager Li Li nodded slightly and said, "President Chen, I understand. I will use all available channels to find a suitable programmer for the company as soon as possible."

After resolving the manpower shortage issue, Chen Dong looked at Li Hua, the head of the game department, once again.

Chen Dong hadn't forgotten that the marketing manager had just mentioned the market's sluggishness.

Chen Dong understood this situation as well, and had mentioned it before: there were too many similar simulation management games being developed in Cairo, and too few different types.

Even if you develop a game about the Chu-Han Contention, it's useless if you only have one game of a different type.

As for other types besides the Chu-Han Contention... Chen Dong could only say that his men were amazing, and they were completely wiped out.

Of the three new games, three flopped, and only the Chu-Han Contention game I mentioned was a success.

Given this premise, Chen Dong thought for a while and decided to continue to proceed cautiously, feeling his way across the river.

This time, let's play the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

Thinking of this, Chen Dong said, "Regarding the problem of the sluggish game market, I have a new idea. I plan to have your game department make a game called 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy'."

Upon hearing this, Li Hua was overjoyed.

If the owner personally produces a cartridge game, it's guaranteed to be a huge hit!

Then, Chen Dong explained the production requirements for Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Chen Dong did not intend to make a complete version of Chinese Paladin. Instead, he decided to take the plagiarism route for the first part, combining the styles of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Chinese Paladin, and making a bad copy first.

The reason is simple: the company doesn't have copywriters with excellent writing skills, nor artists with excellent visual skills.

The artist we recruited is passable at drawing Cairo-style art.

The graphics quality of Chinese Paladin? Forget about it.

After the explanation, Li Hua understood. To summarize, the boss wanted to copy the cartridge game "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and give it a fantasy theme.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Dong didn't use any characters from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series; instead, he made up a prequel to create this cartridge game.

This way, the classic won't be ruined, and anyone can freely create this cartridge game.

As for quality, this is made in China, what more do you need to worry about?
