Huang Sibo was elated to see Boss Pei's reply.
Indeed, his work had gained Boss Pei's approval!
This meant that the direction that he and Bao Xu had decided on was the one that Boss Pei had in mind! Boss Pei was indeed far-sighted!
Pei Qian's image in Huang Sibo's eyes grew even bigger.
"Boss Pei, there's another problem. The name of the game.
"Bao Xu said that he wanted to call it Ocean Stronghold. I think that it's a little weird and old-fashioned. However, I'm not good at naming and can't think of a good name … Boss Pei, why don't you decide on the name?"
Ocean Stronghold?
Why did that sound so familiar?
Pei Qian was enlightened. Oh, that's right. It was similar to the name of a failed movie from his past life!
Pei Qian decided immediately. "Ocean Stronghold is good. That's it!"
Huang Sibo, "Er, Boss Pei, aren't you going to reconsider? We're not in a hurry to decide on a name. There's still time. "
Pei Qian replied, "No, Ocean Stronghold! I like that name! "
"Alright, Boss Pei. I'll continue writing the design manuscript." Huang Sibo went silent.
Pei Qian was elated.
Wasn't Ocean Stronghold a good name? It was a great name!
It sounded auspicious!
It meant that they would incur losses!
Some people might not know what an investment of 300 million yuan meant and a box office of 100 million yuan. Normally, we would call it an invincible loss!
Since this movie could incur losses, it shouldn't be a problem for this game with a similar name to incur losses of a few million yuan, right?
En, that was the perfect name for the game!
Pei Qian was very satisfied with this name.
…
At night, Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. …
The design team members were all busy.
Huang Sibo and Bao Xu had been working overtime for the past two days to finish the design manuscript as soon as possible so that the game could officially enter the research and development stage.
The rest of the design team had been assigned tasks as well.
After writing the final draft, the various functions had to be broken down to the details. These were done by the other members of the design team before Huang Sibo was the final judge.
That included the in-game models, guns, and other art resources. They had to be sorted out as well.
There were many things to do.
However, Huang Sibo did not ask them to work overtime. Instead, they volunteered to stay and Huang Sibo could not persuade them!
Huang Sibo had no choice but to let them be.
Their mentality was similar to Huang Sibo's.
They were originally the lowest-level employees of some game companies, doing repetitive labor without any technical content, and were constantly being squeezed.
However, everything was different in Tengda.
Each of them was responsible for a function and designed it independently.
The working atmosphere here was relaxed, the boss was open-minded, and the colleagues were friendly. Everyone was fighting for the same goal.
Most importantly, the games they created were not inferior pay-to-win games, but ones with innovative gameplay!
All these factors made them develop a strong interest in work, so they were naturally willing to stay and work overtime.
Huang Sibo had no choice but to let them be.
Anyway, the overtime was only for this week. By the next week, when all the design drafts were completed, the workload would be reduced, and everything would be fine.
Bao Xu had been playing all sorts of FPS games for the past few days, especially those overseas masterpieces.
It was not an easy task to do well in the plot of Ocean Stronghold.
Immersing the players into the story through a little girl who didn't know how to speak and constantly changing the players' emotions required a very meticulous design.
"Brother Huang, there's a plot that's not bad. I've recorded it and sent it to you. See if you can use it," Bao Xu said.
"Alright, Brother Bao. Got it."
Huang Sibo clicked on the video that Bao Xu sent and looked at the first person perspective of the game.
Both he and Bao Xu had invested a lot of effort into the plot. After all, the plot was one of the highlights of the game and they had to make it outstanding.
The video that Bao Xu sent was really good. After all, it was produced by a huge overseas company and the plot was so captivating that Huang Sibo was mesmerized.
He did not notice a long face flash by outside the door.
…
…
"Knock, knock."
Someone knocked on the door of Pei Qian's rental apartment.
"Oh? It's already so late. "
Pei Qian checked the time – it was around 8pm.
The only people who knew about this place were Assistant Xin and Ma Yang. Since Assistant Xin wouldn't disturb him at this hour, it could only be Ma Yang.
What was Ma Yang doing here?
Pei Qian opened the door and indeed, he saw Ma Yang's long face.
"Brother Qian, I've discovered something. Huang Sibo and the others are secretly working overtime! Using the company's computers! "Ma Yang seemed as though he had discovered a shocking secret.
Pei Qian's face darkened.
Ma Yang emphasized 'using the company's computers' while Pei Qian was concerned about 'working overtime'.
What was the meaning of working overtime?
What was wrong with this Huang Sibo? Bad habits are hard to change!
Didn't I chase people out every single day last week? I told you guys not to work overtime! Why are you guys still working overtime?
How dare you ignore Boss Pei's words? Preposterous!
"What is Huang Sibo working overtime for? Writing documents? Or designing? "Pei Qian was displeased.
"Err …" Ma Yang recalled what he saw. "Playing games."
Pei Qian was stunned.
Playing games?
Pei Qian's expression turned slightly better.
He knew that Bao Xu would stay in the office to play games after work – that was a privilege that he had given to him.
Why was Huang Sibo playing games after work as well? Was it because of Bao Xu?
Pei Qian did not allow his employees to work overtime in the office. However, it was fine if he was playing games.
At that thought, Pei Qian's expression turned slightly better. "Are you sure you saw correctly that Huang Sibo is playing games?"
Ma Yang nodded. "That's right! That's why I'm here to report this to you! Aren't they wasting the company's resources? Do you want to give them some pointers at work tomorrow? "
"Fufu, there's no need."
Pei Qian was relieved.
Since they were not working but playing games, there was no problem at all.
They would be able to eat more snacks, consume more electricity and help him squander more System Funds.
How great!
Furthermore … there seemed to be an additional reason to squander System Funds?
Suddenly, Pei Qian's eyes lit up as he thought of a great idea.
"Old Ma, this is a games company. Our employees play games to learn, to learn and to absorb the experience of outstanding games from overseas. It's also a part of our job, understand?" Pei Qian said earnestly.
Ma Yang seemed to understand. "Oh … so you're saying that we're not going to pursue this matter?"
"Not? No, no, no! Of course not! " Pei Qian said righteously. "Our employees are working overtime for the company and their health is being overdrafted. How can we just let it go? Tengda is a company with a heart for our employees! "
"The country stipulates that employees must be paid overtime. Tengda has to follow the country's policy! Overtime on weekdays is 1.5 times their hourly salary and on weekends is 2 times their hourly salary. Not a single cent less! "
"Old Ma, I have an important task for you. Help me take note of how long they work overtime every day. When the time comes, I'll give them overtime pay based on the number of hours they work. Not a single cent less! "
Ma Yang nodded. "Yes, yes, I understand! Leave this to me! "
After sending Ma Yang off, Pei Qian could not help but want to laugh out loud.
How could he have forgotten about overtime pay?
If he were to add on overtime pay, wouldn't he be able to squander more System Funds every month?
