Chapter 9
At the beginning of June, the office building of "Giant Games" in Rongcheng.
Gao Yixiang looked at the two men who stepped into his office aggressively, feeling bored and disappointed.
The boredom was for Ramos, and the disappointment, for the other man who came in.
That person is Zhao Liqin, the boss of 'Giant God Game' and his friend for many years.
The reason why these two people came to him, he already knew in advance.
Sure enough, as soon as Ramos opened his mouth, he looked like a villain: "Gao, I regret to tell you that your negligence has caused losses to the company. I have already reported it to the boss."
"Do you believe him?" Gao Yixiang looked at Zhao Liqin and asked.
Zhao Liqin avoided this question and said: "Old Gao, we are old friends, I shouldn't doubt you in this kind of matter, but you paid our budget for the opening animation and outsourced the project to a family For a small workshop without any qualifications, there must be an explanation for this matter."
"Explain? People live well and cheaply, why can't they do it for them? You just listen to this gringo's one-sided words?"
Ramos also understands Chinese, and he said: "It's good and cheap, and that's what you say. Now, the time limit is not far away, and our promotional work has already started, but there is still no sign of the animation at the beginning."
"Are you responsible for the propaganda work? Are you qualified to ask?"
Zhao Liqin spoke: "I am qualified to ask?"
Hearing his old buddy say these words, the last fire in Gao Yixiang's heart was extinguished.
He said without interest: "Of course, you are the boss, you are qualified, come and see for yourself."
He casually opened a video file on the desktop, and he stepped aside.
Zhao Liqin and Ramos came together and saw a video.
It's an unrendered animation video, and it looks rough, but in two minutes, it has everything you need.
Although Ramos and Zhao Liqin didn't know much about this aspect, even so, they could tell that this was a finished product.
"I have already finished what should be done and delivered it to the rendering farm. It is estimated that it will not be long before the final product can be produced. Do you have any questions?"
Ramos looked a little embarrassed, he pouted his neck and said: "This doesn't explain anything, who knows what this thing will look like?"
"Okay, Ramos, don't talk about it." Zhao Liqin said, "I hope you will report to me in the future. It's best to investigate the matter clearly before we talk about it."
"Okay, boss." Ramos could only hold back his words.
Zhao Liqin turned his head, looked at Gao Yixiang, and said with a very gentle attitude: "This time is not bad, but we still need to urge the other side as soon as possible, so that they can quickly take out the finished rendering. Our publicity work needs this kind of more Good showcase for the game."
"Okay." Gao Yixiang said expressionlessly.
After watching Zhao Liqin and Ramos leave his office, Gao Yixiang sat down on his seat.
He dug out a pack of cigarettes from under the drawer, lit one, and inhaled it into his lungs. He coughed violently twice.
"It's fucking choking..." After finishing speaking, he took another puff.
It has been two years since he quit smoking, and he doesn't usually smoke anymore, but when he is particularly bored, he will order one.
For example today.
Lao Zhao is his friend for many years, and the two of them can be said to have created the "giant game" together. At that time, Lao Zhao had some money in his hand, and the capital investment in the early stage of the business was all dependent on him. As for Gao Yixiang, it can be regarded as a technology investment.
The two have cooperated seamlessly for many years. Zhao Liqin was in charge of business and operations, and he built the company's project team single-handedly. In three or four years, the two created the "giant game" from scratch.
He always thought that the two of them could continue to cooperate like this and make the 'Giant Game' better. Even, as the company's business expands, he even has an ambition: to be the top domestic game company, and even go abroad to compete with those foreign game manufacturers on the world stage.
People always have a little dream, but some people only like salty fish.
He remembered that the first time he talked about this matter with Zhao Liqin, Zhao Liqin showed obvious perfunctory. Later, he also slowly realized that his old buddy had changed his thinking a bit. Making money seems to be more important than making games.
Money, who doesn't like it? However, Gao Yixiang still wanted to stand up and make money, but Zhao Liqin was not.
On the project "Assassination Squad", the two had a lot of conflicts at the beginning, and the main problem was the setting of payment points.
The pricing strategy of game sales is fine, but Zhao Liqin hopes to add more payment points in the game, even at the expense of gameplay. On this point, Gao Yixiang, as the main planner, definitely cannot agree.
At that time, the two had a very violent quarrel, and in the end Gao Yixiang pushed Zhao Liqin back with a tough attitude.
This is not easy, after all, strictly speaking, Zhao Liqin is the boss of the company.
Originally, he naively thought that this matter would end like this. Later, Zhao Liqin unexpectedly recruited Ramos from the United States to be the technical director of the company.
From then on, conflicts broke out between him, the chief planner and project leader, and Ramos again and again.
He was actually very puzzled before, why the friendship between him and Lao Zhao for so many years was not as good as this foreigner? During the many quarrels, Zhao Liqin seemed to be reconciling the conflict with a neutral attitude, but he was obviously on the side of Ramos in the open and in the dark. Even Gao Yixiang could clearly feel that in the project organization, his power was stripped away bit by bit.
But now, he gradually figured out a problem: Zhao Liqin is not really stupid, he can't see that Ramos' level is not good enough. His old friend, maybe through the hands of this foreigner, is gradually pushing himself out of the company's power core.
It was precisely because he wanted to understand this that he felt chilled.
"It's really helpless to be able to share adversity but not be able to share wealth..." He sighed with emotion.
Stuffing out his cigarette, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Mr. Gao?" Fan Zhe's voice was over there.
"It's me." Gao Yixiang said, "Thank you Mr. Fan, I'm sorry, I've urged you so many times, but you've helped me a lot this time."
"It should be done. However, according to the agreement, you should pay me part of the project funds."
"No problem, the finance is already in the process, I will go to remind you, tomorrow at the latest, 60% of the payment will be transferred to your account."
"Thanks."
Wouldn't it be nice to vote for a recommendation?
