"Not bad. Do you want to take a look at their resumes? "Pei Qian tossed a stack of resumes on the coffee table to Ma Yang.
"I … Can I?" Ma Yang was surprised.
"No problem, feel free," Pei Qian replied.
The reason why Pei Qian wanted Ma Yang to look at the resumes was because he hoped that he could groom him to share some of his workload in the future.
On one hand, Ma Yang was Pei Qian's most trusted person.
On the other hand, with Ma Yang helping Pei Qian, the company would probably collapse even faster!
Ma Yang flipped through the information of more than 20 people from top to bottom.
He looked puzzled as he looked through them once more.
It was normal for him to be puzzled.
It would be abnormal if he wasn't.
These people that Pei Qian recruited were all slackers to begin with. How much better could their resumes be?
Take Huang Sibo for example.
After entering the industry for half a year, he had been working as a planner in his original company. To put it bluntly, he had to monitor the progress, adjust the schedule and upload the documents. He didn't even have the chance to personally write the design manuscript.
He could only wait for the other experienced designers to finish the design manuscript and execute it in the editor. If he met with any problems, he wouldn't be able to fix it himself and would have to consult the original designer.
After flipping through all the information, Ma Yang realized that none of the employees had any experience as a lead designer – all of them were doing odd jobs.
How could he not be puzzled?
"Brother Qian, is it hard to recruit a lead designer? Should we increase the pay? Or hire a headhunter to help? "Ma Yang was confused.
He could tell that these people that he had recruited could barely help out. It was impossible to find someone to take charge of the core design of the game.
That was why he thought that something had gone wrong during the recruitment of a lead designer. Was it because the pay was too low that they couldn't recruit anyone?
Pei Qian shook his head furiously. "No, there were lead designers who applied but I rejected them all."
Ma Yang was confused. "Why?"
"No, they don't fit our needs at all!"
Pei Qian stood up and paced around the guest room – that would make him look more imposing.
"First of all, these lead designers have a serious problem – their mindset is rigid!"
"Their brains are all bound by old-fashioned rules and regulations. They can't embrace new ideas."
"Gaming is an industry that requires a burst of inspiration. If the chief designer's inspiration is locked, will our game still be good?"
"Secondly, the price of these chief designers is very high, and the quality-price ratio is too low!"
"Right now, a chief designer's monthly salary is almost 8,000, which is two or three times that of an ordinary employee. It's a burden on our finances."
"Of course, it's mainly because the price-performance ratio is too low."
"The last and most important point is that their passion for the game is almost gone!"
"Young people are hot-blooded, it's time to fight for their dreams. But these lead designers are all in their thirties, their brains are filled with daily necessities. Many of them can't even work on a max achievement account in 'Fantasy World'."
"Tell me, don't you think their passion for the game is seriously insufficient?"
Ma Yang was a little confused.
"That seems to be the case. These people are indeed problematic."
"But … without them, who will take the lead in designing the game project …"
Ma Yang still felt that something was amiss.
Pei Qian patted his chest. "Me!"
"Err …" Ma Yang hesitated. "Brother Qian, of course, I believe in your capabilities. But you're the boss. I think you might need a lead designer to assist you. Otherwise, wouldn't it be difficult to implement it?"
Pei Qian shook his head.
Get a lead designer to assist me?
Wouldn't he be able to tell that there's a problem with my design?
Definitely not.
Pei Qian's expression was stern. "I already have someone to assist me. That Huang Sibo is not bad."
"Huang Sibo?"
Ma Yang had a vague feeling that he had seen that name before.
However, he had no recollection of it.
After all, the 20 documents were all about slackers – it wasn't easy to remember a specific slacker.
Flipping through them, he found Huang Sibo's information before long.
"He's been in the industry for half a year and has always been in charge of planning. Can he do it? "
Pei Qian said seriously, "He's actually a talent that's been buried. Don't just look at his position, look at what he's done. "
"His original lead designer squeezed him dry. Most of the systems in the original game were created by him in the cloud editor."
"He's also created 70-80% of the data tables in the game."
"How is this an executive planner? He's clearly the assistant of the lead designer!"
"He used the lead designer's proposal to create it in the cloud editor. He often works overtime, working more than 10 hours a day."
"Think about it. Most people work 8 hours a day. Sometimes, he can work 16 hours."
"Half a year's work experience is equivalent to a year for an ordinary person!"
"What's more precious is that he has a passion for games!"
"That passion is what drives him to work hard, improve and innovate!"
"You can trust my ideas. It's not a problem for him to be responsible for turning them into reality."
Ma Yang was enlightened. "Hmm … he's really a talent! Shouldn't we pay him according to the salary of the lead designer? It's only 4,000 a month now. Isn't that a little too low? "
Pei Qian nearly choked. "Yes, that's what I thought as well. However, there's no rush. We'll increase his salary if he performs well. "
It wasn't that he didn't want to increase his salary, but the system wouldn't allow it.
Ma Yang nodded. "Yes, that's right. You're the boss. You have to control costs and save money for the company."
Pei Qian almost lost his composure as he continued speaking.
"Furthermore, the people you see all have unique skills, and all of them have their own specialties. They're all talents that have been buried by other games companies! "
"In fact, there are many talents that haven't entered the games industry. For example, Bao Xu."
"He's a gaming god through and through."
"In Fantasy World, everyone else is an overlord of all professions. He's not! He's an overlord of all races and professions! He already has six accounts with full achievements! "
"As long as it's a game, he's good at it. As for leading a team to get the first kill, that's as easy as eating and drinking."
"Not only that, he's involved in a wide range of games. He's even a top expert in games like Kart Kart!"
"Therefore, I've arranged for Bao Xu to be a game tester. He'll be able to experience other games as well as our own!"
"When the time comes, no matter what kind of game we want to make, he'll be able to provide us with sufficient suggestions and direction. His analysis of competing games will be even easier!"
"The most important thing is that I think we can explore his management talents. Think about it, getting the first kill of a 40-man team dungeon is not an easy task! "
"If he can manage 40 people, what's more, we only have 30."
