After returning to Tengda Games, Pei Qian paid some attention to GOG's development.
The game was still in the conceptual design stage, and Li Yada was still struggling with some basic settings.
However, the acquisition of some small IPs had already begun. Professionals were negotiating with some domestic and foreign companies.
Many copyrights were divided into limited licensing and permanent licensing. As for the specific licensing method, it would take many rounds of negotiations to determine.
The more famous the IP, the more expensive it would be. The authorization method would also be more inclined toward limited authorizations. Many games could not be renewed because the copyright fees would rise after they bought the copyrights. The corresponding products would then have to be taken off the shelves, and things would become very tense.
Thus, they were currently looking for IP characters with permanent authorizations.
Considering the price factor, they were discussing characters that were relatively less famous. For example, characters from a long time ago, protagonists of old stories, characters from outdated movies, and so on.
Of course, they would also do a simple screening before discussing the specific IP image. They would only discuss it after confirming that the image was suitable for use in the game and would not appear out of place.
If the character's style was different from the game's, they would have to discuss it with the copyright owner. Tengda could adapt the character's style to a certain extent according to the game's style.
It might be troublesome, but the guiding principle was very clear. They would not buy anything that did not meet the conditions and could not be bought.
In any case, there were so many rubbish IPs in the market. It would be enough to buy any at the beginning.
At the moment, there was not even a shadow of the game. Thus, Pei Qian could not give any guidance. He could only wait and see.
Not long after he returned to the office, Hao Yun from the HR department knocked on his door.
"Boss Pei, we've tried to come up with a set of test questions. Do you think it's suitable?
"Also, I've already arranged for TPDb's people to create the corresponding website backend for the Tengda Spirit compatibility test for the last segment. When the time comes, Tengda's recruitment website will give you a unique entrance. You can adjust the content and standard answers of the test over there. No one else will be able to find it."
Pei Qian took a stack of printed test questions from Hao Yun and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, leave it here. I'll take a closer look."
Hao Yun went back to work.
Pei Qian flipped open the test questions and took a closer look.
There were two main recruitment tasks to be done in the early stage. First, there was a specialized recruitment website. Filling in the resume, registering, printing the admission ticket, and other operations had to be carried out on this recruitment website.
Once the website was ready, job seekers would only need to register online and fill in their information.
Before the exam, he just needed to print the admission ticket and take the written test. A series of complicated procedures could be carried out online, saving a lot of trouble.
Next was the exam questions, which he would look at later.
The time of the exam was set in May and November every year.
In the workplace, there was a saying, "Gold Three, Silver Four," and "Gold Nine, Silver Ten."
The peak season for the first half of the year was March and April, because many people would choose to get their year-end bonuses after the New Year and start looking for jobs around March.
The peak season for the second half of the year was September and October, because many college graduates had officially graduated and started working.
Boss Pei's idea was to avoid the peak season for recruitment!
During the peak recruitment season, there were many talents in the talent market. If they were to select talents through examinations, most of them would be people with top-notch learning abilities. That was not in line with Boss Pei's original intentions.
Therefore, he had to wait patiently!
When the peak season was completely over, the more capable talents would have found jobs. Then, he would start recruiting again and get rid of all the people in the market who were worrying about their working abilities.
The task of creating the recruitment website was handed over to TPDb because the new website could be called 'Tengda Recruitment Website' or 'Tengda Talent Database'. It could also be attached to TPDb.
Pei Qian looked at the questions.
The questions were divided into three parts: a written test of basic abilities in the morning, a written test of professional knowledge in the afternoon, and a question for the interview stage.
The questions for the basic abilities test were set by the HR department. Pei Qian flipped through them and realized that they were basically similar to the questions for civil servants. The knowledge in the test was very complicated. Without special preparation, only geniuses would be able to score high.
On the other hand, the professional knowledge test was independently set by each department. For example, the game department's test included some basic knowledge of the game industry, some explanations of professional terms, some short answer questions about the game system, and the writing of the game's copywriting.
As for the interview questions, they were also more open-ended, but they were more closely related to one's position.
After looking through the questions, Pei Qian fell into deep thought.
All of a sudden, he felt that he had thought too simply.
There was a very crucial part that had not been taken into account, and that was … how high should the difficulty of these questions be?
The difficulty of the current questions was below average if compared to the civil servant exam.
That was normal. After all, to the employees in the HR department, Tengda's recruitment was a corporate recruitment. It valued the actual working ability of the employees more.
Therefore, the importance of the interview would definitely be higher.
The big shots in the industry in their thirties and forties might be familiar with their professional knowledge, but wouldn't it be too difficult for them to answer the basic abilities test?
Therefore, the HR department purposely lowered the difficulty of the basic abilities test.
That way, the selected employees would definitely be relatively strong and perform well in the interview.
Pei Qian felt that this would not do.
The recruitment examination was a kind of selection. Many people would fight to enter Tengda. Boss Pei would definitely try his best to recruit employees that suited him.
It was definitely impossible to filter people in reverse.
For example, if Pei Qian wanted to recruit people from low to high, the system would not agree and he would not be able to explain it to the other employees. On the other hand, it would not be practical.
As long as this rumor spread, everyone would hand in blank papers, or some top students would deliberately control their scores within a specific range. What would happen then?
Therefore, he could only filter people from high to low scores.
To put it bluntly, he only had to choose between two types of people: top students who were good at exams; and talented people who were good at interviews and had strong working ability.
Sometimes, the two were compatible, but most of the time, the two were mutually exclusive.
Overall, people with high academic qualifications were usually good at learning and working ability. The so-called 'high scores but low ability' phenomenon was actually rare.
However, Pei Qian also knew that some companies were too obsessed with hiring people with high academic qualifications. That led to a decline in company performance.
Many people with high academic qualifications did not like this job. They only came for the high salary and lacked enthusiasm for their work. Therefore, the things they produced looked good but lacked soul …
That was a little off topic.
All in all, Pei Qian felt that he still chose the former after struggling for a long time.
The latter would stab him in the back like crazy. As for the former, there might be many people who were good at studying and exams but not good at work. It was safer.
At that thought, Pei Qian commented on the question: Increase the difficulty of the basic abilities test to the highest level!
After that, Pei Qian felt that it was time to roughly consider what the Tengda Spirit compatibility test was.
To put it bluntly, this test was to test the employees' spirit of slacking off and eliminate some potential hard-working people.
Of course, this had to be done in a sufficiently confusing manner. The standard answers had to be kept secret.
Once the website was built, the interns who were waiting to become permanent staff would be arranged to answer the questions on a specific computer at a specific time. They would submit the answers after they were done, and the website would automatically calculate the results.
Only Pei Qian could see the results. It would only inform the interns if they passed or not. It would not tell them the specific scores.
At the same time, the company was not allowed to discuss these questions openly.
Private discussions could not be prohibited, but the people answering the questions were unlikely to remember all the questions. Even if they discussed individual questions, they would not be able to determine what the standard answers were.
Pei Qian would also modify and renovate these questions regularly to ensure the accuracy of the test.
What's more, the questions that Boss Pei came up with were very confusing.
For example:
Question: It's time to knock off, and you have an unfinished job on hand. At this time, you should:
Complete overtime
Do it tomorrow
Ask if the task needs to be completed urgently. If so, work overtime. If not, do it tomorrow
Do it when the superior (not Boss Pei) emphasizes that the task needs to be completed overtime. If the superior does not emphasize, then it is assumed that no overtime is required
When the superior (not Boss Pei) emphasizes that the task needs to be completed overtime, argue with him
Choose E + 5 points, choose B + 4 points, choose D + 2 points, choose C + 1 point, choose A + no points.
Another example:
Question: It's time to knock off, and you have an unfinished job on hand. Boss Pei said that the task needs to be completed by a certain day. At this time, you should:
Complete overtime
Do it tomorrow
Ask Boss Pei if the task needs to be completed urgently. If so, work overtime. If not, do it tomorrow
Complete overtime and ask Boss Pei for double overtime pay
Complete work tasks at home
Choose D + 5 points, choose A or E + 4 points, choose C + 2 points, choose B + no points.
As for why the answers to these two questions were different …
Nonsense, Boss Pei must have asked you to work overtime in time for the settlement cycle. If the product was delayed, Boss Pei would be sanctioned by the System.
Of course, don't forget to ask Boss Pei for overtime pay after working overtime.
All in all, you must complete the task given by Boss Pei seriously.
On this basis, ask for as much company benefits as you can. The more active you are, the better.
If Boss Pei did not make it clear that the task is urgent, don't work overtime on your own.
…
Pei Qian racked his brains and wrote a few questions based on this central idea.
These questions hypothesized many different scenarios and buried Boss Pei's true intentions through various complicated options so that the respondents would not be able to accurately judge the true intentions of the person who set the questions.
Once the website was built, Pei Qian could upload all these questions onto the website, set the standard answers, and wait for the tester to answer.
He could also consider making a larger question bank and randomly select a portion of it during each exam. That would further reduce the possibility of figuring out the questions through private discussions.
Only those who passed this test would be talented people who were compatible with the Tengda spirit.
If you did not pass the test … sorry, please continue to study harder and understand the Tengda spirit.
