Half an hour later, Sun Xi knocked on Zhou Muyan's office door.
"Boss Zhou, this is the name list of the entire Bullet Hole 2 project team."
Sun Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "There might be several candidates for some positions on the list. The main reason is that everyone is very enthusiastic about signing up. I can't decide who to use, so I'll write them all down. You can decide."
Zhou Muyan took the plan and was not too surprised.
After all, everyone knew that Bullet Hole 2 was a key project of the studio, Tengda, and Long Yu Corporation. The chances of success were very high, so it was reasonable for them to apply here.
Zhou Muyan quickly scanned the list.
He might be in the management of the studio, but he might not know everyone. Therefore, there were also notes on the list other than the names. It clearly stated which project team they were currently in and what position they were in.
Zhou Muyan had a good idea of this person's abilities once the information of the project team and position was out.
He looked from the back because the list at the back was almost confirmed. There were not many empty positions.
Those who were selected to be on this list were all young people with more potential in their respective project teams. Those who were able to be remembered by Zhou Muyan out of so many people were definitely not ordinary people.
Therefore, Zhou Muyan focused on the positions that had not been confirmed before.
"Liu He … I remember that he performed quite well when he was working on the checkpoint previously. He's a young man with ideas. Yes, it's a good idea to train for Bullet Hole 2. "
"Zhu Yan did a good job with the art resources when developing Bullet Hole. I think Bullet Hole 2 should not be a problem."
"Eh? Isn't Yang Yuhua working on the functions of the Dark Fantasy project? The project is nearing its end and is about to be released. Doesn't he want the bonus? "
"… Why is there Old Han? Isn't he messing around?! "
At first, there was no problem. Zhou Muyan had an impression of most of the new names he saw. They were all young people with more potential in the studio. It was reasonable for them to take the initiative to join the Bullet Hole 2 project team.
However, Zhou Muyan was shocked when he saw the candidates for the key positions.
That was because there were some names that he did not expect!
For example, the "Dark Fantasy" project was a mobile game that was developed half a year ago. If nothing went wrong, it would be officially released within two months.
For game creators, the official release of the game was a big event comparable to the New Year, because it meant the end of overtime, a period of easy work, and a generous project bonus.
Although the quality of this mobile game couldn't be said to be the best, Zhou Muyan felt that it wouldn't be a problem to have a monthly income of more than ten million.
In the end, several people from the Dark Fantasy project team actually volunteered to join Bullet Hole 2?
Even though according to the rules of Sun Strike Studios, one could still receive a bonus of three months if they were to leave midway, the game would only be released for another two months.
Didn't these people give up all their bonuses except for the first month's bonus?
Dark Fantasy was more or less developed, and the departure of two or three people would not affect the overall situation. However, Zhou Muyan was completely confused by the choices of these people.
As for Old Han, it was even more outrageous. He was the lead designer with a huge monthly bonus, yet he was willing to give up his position and bonus to work on Bullet Hole 2?
That was ridiculous!
Suddenly, Zhou Muyan realized that he had completely underestimated the appeal of Bullet Hole 2. Otherwise, why would there be more than three times the number of names on the list?
"Why is everyone so confident in this game?"
"Especially Old Han. Could it be that he thinks that the bonus he gets from being a designer here is more than his original job as the lead designer?"
"That's not right …"
Zhou Muyan looked at the list and then at Sun Xi, asking uncertainly, "Could it be … that these people are doing this so that they don't have to work overtime?"
Sun Xi coughed twice but did not say anything.
It was obvious that he was agreeing.
He could not deny it as well. After all, it was too obvious and Zhou Muyan was no fool – there was no way he would try to cover it up.
He could not possibly say that these people were doing this purely for their dreams, right?
Zhou Muyan was angry.
"How can this be?"
"I've emphasized time and again that Bullet Hole 2 is the main project of the studio. It's a game that we've invested a huge amount of money into with Boss Pei's ideas. It cannot fail!"
"In the end, this group of people decided to come here to enjoy their retirement!"
"They don't have any fighting spirit at all. How can this project do well?"
"Get rid of them all! It's obvious that these people are here to not have to work overtime; I can't accept any of them! "
Zhou Muyan had a reason to be angry. He had agreed to not have to work overtime for Bullet Hole 2 mainly because he wanted to give Min Jingchao some face; he did not really agree with the idea of not having to work overtime.
Just like the famous saying of many people: Money is not important, overtime is not important, the key is attitude.
Although this sentence was nonsense, it had to be said that there were still many people who believed it.
Now, these people on the list had signed up for not having to work overtime. From Zhou Muyan's point of view, it was obvious that their work attitude was questionable!
Sun Xi quickly said, "Boss Zhou, don't be angry. I think we should ask Jingchao for his opinion on this matter.
"To be honest, it's normal for people not to want to work overtime. When Jingchao made this request, he must have considered the problems that would arise.
"If Jingchao doesn't mind, there shouldn't be any problems with letting these people join. If there really is a problem with their work attitude, it wouldn't be too late to change them.
"At least from the current situation, these people on the list are indeed the elites of our studio. Such a project team is very capable.
"Moreover, it's very difficult to distinguish who is here to not have to work overtime and who is really here to produce results …"
After hearing Sun Xi's words, Zhou Muyan fell silent.
That was indeed the case.
People like Old Han and the others had clearly been receiving better treatment than Bullet Hole 2, but they had chosen to voluntarily demote and jump over. Their intentions were too obvious.
But what if the others had signed up because they didn't have to work overtime?
They couldn't use a lie detector to test everyone's true thoughts.
And even if they did, the results might be very disappointing to Zhou Muyan. Be more daring.
Perhaps everyone was here because they didn't have to work overtime?
Zhou Muyan was speechless. He handed the list back. "Alright, then go and talk to Min Jingchao.
"The people on this list are definitely capable and qualified for these positions. It might even be a little wasteful.
"If Min Jingchao has no objections, then you can coordinate and decide. Just send me a copy of the list."
Sun Xi nodded. "Alright, Boss Zhou. I'll go and ask Min Jingchao for his opinion."
…
At that moment, Min Jingchao was sitting at his desk, seriously revising his design draft.
Sun Xi's desk was beside him. This was to make it easier for them to communicate in time.
In terms of position arrangement, Sun Xi's position was executive planner, which meant that he was in charge of pushing the progress of the work and coordinating the work of the various departments.
This arrangement was similar to Bao Xu and Huang Sibo's in Ocean Stronghold. One was in charge of design, and the other was in charge of pushing.
"Jingchao, there's something I need to tell you …"
Sun Xi told him about the selection of people and then asked, "How do you think … these people should be chosen?"
Min Jingchao was a little puzzled. "What's there to worry about? Can't we just choose according to their actual abilities? "
"Focus on innovation and learning in the functional design position. Focus on accumulating experience in the numerical balance and level design."
Sun Xi reminded him. "Boss Zhou, you're afraid that some of them are here because they don't want to work overtime. That would affect the working atmosphere of the entire project team."
Min Jingchao found it unbelievable. "How would it affect the working atmosphere of the project team?"
"Isn't it human nature not to want to work overtime? Everyone in Tengda doesn't want to work overtime, and it wouldn't affect our working atmosphere.
"What's more, this is a form of motivation and a screening mechanism. Everyone would definitely work hard so that they wouldn't be kicked out."
Sun Xi opened his mouth, a little dumbfounded.
How could he understand it that way?
Indeed, if he understood it from a different perspective, the answer seemed to be completely different.
From Zhou Muyan's point of view, joining Bullet Hole 2's project team to avoid working overtime was obviously a sign of wanting to slack off and have a problematic work attitude.
However, from Min Jingchao's point of view, joining Bullet Hole 2's project team to avoid working overtime was obviously a form of motivation. His work attitude had actually improved!
Sun Xi vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. Thus, he decided to listen to Min Jingchao.
After all, Min Jingchao was the one who had the final say on this project. Boss Zhou had to listen to his decisions as well.
"Alright, I'll confirm the name list according to this standard, then."
Sun Xi did a simple screening and eliminated some people. Soon, the name list was completed.
At one glance, the name list could be said to be very luxurious. They were all very capable people.
Sun Xi suddenly thought of something and asked softly, "Jingchao, let me ask you a question in private. Does Tengda really not want to work overtime? Not even for a day? "
Min Jingchao thought about it and shook his head. "It's impossible not to work overtime for a day. Occasionally, we still have to work overtime for urgent tasks."
Sun Xi nodded slightly. That's right.
How could they not work overtime for urgent tasks? Tengda couldn't possibly change the objective rules of the game industry.
Thus, it was just a matter of how much overtime they had to work. That was acceptable.
Min Jingchao added, "However, they would give you three times your salary. What's more, such situations are very rare. The amount of overtime is limited."
Sun Xi, "…"
Three times the salary was enough to make him envious. Now, there was a limit to overtime?
What kind of magical rule was this?!
He asked again, "Are all the projects like this? What about some of the special departments? For example, Upwind Logistics can't possibly not work overtime as well, can they? "
Min Jingchao answered, "Their overall working hours are about the same."
Although he had already expected this, Sun Xi was still shocked. He did not speak for a long time.
He nodded silently. "No wonder Tengda is called heaven. Everyone wants to go there. It's perfect for employees!"
After a moment of silence, Min Jingchao said, "Not really.
There are also some very troublesome things. "
Sun Xi, "For example?"
Min Jingchao, "Bringing new employees on vacation."
Sun Xi, "…"
