Chapter 52 52 From Now on, You Are My Zhao Yun!

Chapter 52 52. From now on, you are my Zhao Yun!

December 24, 1990.

Monday.

In the morning, HR Akane Ayase knocked on the door of the president's office.

The door was not closed, but he knocked politely twice.

Qing Zhiyuan raised his head.

"President." Ayase Akane said with a smile, "The musical talent you want has been recruited."

"Huh? So fast?" Qing Zhiyuan thought to himself, this little HR person is too capable. Is he so efficient in doing things? What was arranged only last week has already been recruited now?

"I have time now. Just give me your resume and then arrange for someone to come to the company for an interview." Qing Zhiyuan stood up.

"No." Ayase Akane said with a smile, "There's no need for an interview. Just tell me the salary range you can offer and I'll negotiate."

"Nani?"

Qing Zhiyuan frowned, this little HR was really getting more and more angry.

Is it all because I have spoiled her too much recently?

Pokeni is still a relatively small company now. Compared with monsters like Nintendo, if they are a giant whale, Pokeni is at most a salmon.

So as the president, I do everything myself.

Not to mention such a big thing as recruiting people.

If you recruit unsuitable employees, it will be very troublesome to fire them. Even if there is a probation period, it is just a waste of time for both parties.

Your HR, who doesn’t understand any part of the game, decided to hire people so hastily?

How can it be repaired? They simply don’t take me as the president of the company seriously.

However, Qing Zhiyuan still suppressed the anger in his chest.

"Has Ozawa been interviewed?" He raised his head and asked.

Shinji Ozawa is currently the only employee in the company's sound effects department. Although he has no special talents, he can handle some simple soundtrack work and is considered a decent type.

"No." Akane Ayase said, "But this newcomer has been approved by the president. You have already interviewed me, so I think there is no need to interview again."

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan was confused for a moment.

The young HR covered his mouth and laughed, "President! Have you forgotten? There was a young man named Shirakawa Atsushi before."

Atsushi Shirakawa?

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and his pupils suddenly widened.

"Nani?! Shirakawa Atsushi is back?"

"Yes!" Akane Ayase laughed so hard when she saw Qing Zhiyuan's surprised look.

…

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Qing Zhiyuan met Shirakawa Atsushi, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Seeing this person again, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

"Shirakawa, thanks to your soundtrack." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "The Onmyoji series is quite successful now."

The president personally promised that the treatment in pokeni will only be more than what Pharaoh Control gives, and it is impossible to give less. In the future, the soundtracks of many large-scale games will be handed over to Shirakawa Atsushi.

Bai Chuan also seemed very excited.

It's just that he was shy to express himself, tried hard to restrain himself, and his body trembled slightly.

The eyes are a little red.

"No matter where you are, it's actually the president who's doing a good job in your game. I..."

He opened his mouth, only to feel a lump in his throat. He paused for two seconds before saying, "I didn't have the courage or ability to accept the olive branch offered by the president at that time. I was really stupid. Please forgive me for being ignorant at that time." Bar."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled happily and extended his right hand to him.

"Shirakawa-san, welcome to pokeni!"

Lost and found, from now on, you are my Zhao Yun!

"yes!"

Shirakawa Atsushi laughed happily and held Qing Zhiyuan's hand tightly.

…

After meeting with Atsushi Shirakawa, the remaining matters were left to HR to handle. Whether it was salary, future development plans, or explaining the onboarding process, it was Akane Ayase's job.

Qing Zhiyuan was so excited that he walked around in his office.

After a while, he sat back on the boss's chair and tapped the table with his fingers.

To say I'm not excited would be a lie.

Excited as hell.

Wow, now that Tianmen has returned, Qing Zhiyuan suddenly feels confident in his heart.

It really feels like when Liu Bei started his own business.

Slowly the generals gathered.

The texts include Ishino Mika and Urobuchi Gen.

In terms of music, there is Atsushi Shirakawa.

The programmer Ken Akanishi, plus the particularly powerful hardware engineer Chikawa Koichi.

In terms of original painting and programming, he has a level that surpasses the entire era.

Qing Zhiyuan has the urge to go straight to Sichuan.

Why worry about failure?

Why worry about failure? !

but……

The only thing Qing Zhiyuan is worried about now is that pokeni has not yet had a producer who can share his work.

Yes.

Producer.

It is extremely important for a game, and even Gen Urobuchi would find it difficult to shoulder this responsibility.

Although Lao Xu is well-known and has the title of [Soldier of Love], it is only limited to the script.

It is undeniable that he really has a superb level of script creation.

Amazing imagination.

But it is much weaker in other aspects.

A qualified producer must not only control the plot, but also have strong control over the gameplay, graphics, music... every detail of the game experience.

To put it bluntly, the producer is equivalent to the chief director of the movie. The chief director is 99% responsible for the quality of a movie.

Even if you are given many impossible tasks by investors, you must do your best.

Pokeni currently lacks such a producer, or in other words, lacks many. If the game territory is to be expanded in the future, Qing Zhiyuan questions that he does not have the ability to serve as a producer for multiple projects at the same time.

Want to recruit one?

Qing Zhiyuan crossed his hands and thought.

However, the training cycle for producers is very long, and many companies spend a lot of time, energy and financial resources to train an excellent producer.

What's more, Neon is a country that attaches great importance to corporate culture. As long as employees become regular employees, they will have lifelong contracts, which is equivalent to entering a big family.

It is impossible to leave your first company unless you have to.

It doesn't seem easy to find a good producer.

Who in this era has yet to be discovered?

Hidetaka Miyazaki?

Qing Zhiyuan recalled carefully, this guy seemed to be only 15 years old this year.

Yuuji Tsui? No, no, Dragon Quest has been popular for so many years.

In addition, you have to exclude gold medal producers such as Hideo Kojima and Hironobu Sakaguchi, because it is impossible for you to dig them.

…

Or, develop one within the company?

Qing Zhiyuan frowned.

Let’s see if Ishino Mika has this potential?

While he was thinking alone, Akane Ayase had returned to the office.

She knocked on the door and smiled, "President, the contract has been signed, but since the Chinese New Year is coming, is it okay for Shirakawa to join the company after the new year?"

"Yeah, a real man." Qing Zhiyuan responded.

At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan saw a young man with a middle-parted comb and a broad forehead walking outside the door.

He hugged the dog and walked toward the door as if he had been greatly shocked.

After just one glance, Qing Zhiyuan felt that this person looked familiar.

"Um, Akane-chan, who is that? Why is it a new face that I haven't seen before?"

"Um?"

Akane Ayase glanced back.

"Oh, the interviewer who just came here said that he really likes the company's games and hopes to give him a chance to join."

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan sighed, "It seems that the number of interviewees has increased these days."

Recently, with the release of Onmyoji 2, many applicants came to visit after this series of games became popular.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to find anyone satisfactory so far.

Mainly because Qing Zhiyuan himself has very high requirements.

This is no longer the bubble era, so talent selection naturally needs to be stricter, and it is better to have a shortage than to overfill.

"It seems that he was very shocked. Didn't he get hired? What position did he apply for?" Qing Zhiyuan asked casually.

"Well, the game planner here." Ayase Akane rummaged through his resume and the written test paper she just asked him to take. "The written test was a mess. So I let him go back."

The written test is the company's initial screening process, mainly to weed out some pure game enthusiasts.

Players who do not have a deep understanding of games are often full of enthusiasm, but they may not be qualified for game development.

To put it bluntly, although many people think game planning is simple, in fact the threshold is frighteningly high.

For example, numerical planning requires designing combat formulas and optimizing the in-game currency economic system...

"Yeah." Hearing that he failed the written examination, Qing Zhiyuan didn't care, "What's your name?"

"Let me see..." Akane Ayase lowered her head and opened her resume and looked at it.

"Shinji Mikami."

"Huh?!" Qing Zhiyuan was suddenly startled, turned around and his eyes widened, "Shinji Mikami?!"
