Guangzhou, Sun Strike Studios.
Outside Sun Strike Studios' building, Xiao Lu and the others were shocked.
Sun Strike Studios itself had a seven-storey office building! How extravagant!
Beside the entrance was a huge signboard of Sun Strike Studios. The office was surrounded by green trees and pines – the environment was pretty good.
A game company that could build its own building was definitely not lacking in money!
Many people were looking forward to working in a similar place.
Pei Qian did not react to that.
He was only here to spend money under the guise of visiting. Besides, the office building was just a little bigger. There was nothing to be envious about.
When they arrived at the entrance, someone from Sun Strike Studios was already there to welcome them.
"Hello, Assistant Xin! This must be Boss Pei, right? Hello, hello! I'm Sun Xi, the receptionist from Sun Strike Studios. "
The person who came was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties. He was in charge of the reception.
It was said that the producer of Sun Strike Studios, Zhou Muyan, would be meeting everyone as well. However, as a producer, he would definitely not come all the way to the main entrance to welcome them. Pei Qian and the others were not that important yet.
Sun Xi led the group inside, introducing them as they walked.
"This is the bamboo forest in our front yard. Because we have an archaic game project, we planted a patch of bamboo here. Oh, there's also a zither over there. Sometimes, there's a girl in a costume playing it. "
"There's a parking lot further over there. Some colleagues will drive to work."
"The front hall is right in front. I'll take you to the reception area and the project team."
Pei Qian looked around as he walked.
Sure enough, a big company was imposing!
Building such a big place should cost a lot of money, right?
Building an office building, renovating it when he had nothing to do, planting some bamboo, customizing some statues, etc. These were all very expensive, and he didn't have to worry about running out of money!
Of course, building such a building would require tens of millions of yuan. Pei Qian could not afford it at the moment.
The funds provided by the system were still at the level of 500,000 yuan. Although Pei Qian's game had earned him so much that he wanted to vomit, he had only earned a few million yuan in total.
If he could earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan a year, he could consider building a building.
However, Pei Qian hoped that this would never happen …
He would rather have the company lose a few million a year than have the company make tens of millions a year.
The Personal Wealth of the latter was ten times that of the former.
Assistant Xin was someone who had seen much of the world, so she was indifferent to this.
However, the others, like Huang Sibo, Xiao Lu and Ma Yang, had a curious look in their eyes. They were like country bumpkins entering the city; everything was new to them.
But of course, strictly speaking, Tengda's working conditions were even better than Sun Strike Studios.
Whether it was the size of the workstation or the configuration of the computer, there were probably not many companies in the country — no, including overseas — that could compare to Tengda.
However, their office space was large enough, and it was their own building. From the outside, it naturally looked rich and overbearing!
When they arrived at the front desk, everyone couldn't help but feel a little proud.
He had regained some ground!
Tengda's receptionists were a pair of beautiful sisters whose looks crushed the receptionists of Sun Strike Studios!
Sun Xi led everyone to the fourth floor and met the producer of Sun Strike Studios, Zhou Muyan.
Zhou Muyan was wearing a casual suit, which was considered quite formal in the gaming industry.
However, the moment he saw the group of people opposite him, his eyes locked onto Pei Qian.
Damn, a custom-made suit!
Zhou Muyan could tell at a glance that this suit was definitely not cheap. It was at least a five-digit sum!
Instead, it gave Zhou Muyan immense pressure, as though he had lost in terms of aura …
Zhou Muyan was puzzled as well. How did this person who looked even younger than an intern become a boss? To think that he could even create a mobile game as successful as Ghost General!
Could he be a rich second-generation heir?
Yes, that must be the case.
If he wasn't a rich second-generation heir, he wouldn't be able to wear such clothes.
Most bosses who started their own businesses were more thrifty and didn't have the habit of spending lavishly. Furthermore, the gaming industry didn't require a uniform.
The two of them exchanged some pleasantries and said, "I've heard a lot about you."
In reality, they didn't know each other at all …
Pei Qian had no idea what games Sun Strike Studios had created and Zhou Muyan had only found out that Pei Qian was the producer of Ghost General. Apart from that, he knew nothing else.
Because they didn't know each other well, the two of them skipped the commercial exchange and Zhou Muyan brought everyone on a tour of the studio.
"This is our recording area. That's the recording studio right in front where we do voice-overs for games."
"Of course, the music and sound effects in the game are all created here as well."
"This is the work area. Look, our artists are working on the concept art right now."
"This is the training room. We'll teach the trainees about game design regularly."
"This is a cosplay outfit that was worn by a celebrity when they were endorsing a game previously. It's been stored in the showcase ever since."
"This wall is filled with some of our game's side products."
"This is the resting area and that's our canteen …"
Zhou Muyan brought Pei Qian and the others on a tour while observing their reactions.
Sun Strike Studios was one of the more established gaming studios in the country. Therefore, their working style was more traditional. They had their own recording studio, art team and so on. Almost everything in the game was self-sufficient, unlike Tengda where art and music resources were all purchased from the resource website.
What surprised Zhou Muyan was that Xiao Lu and the others were all excited outside the building. Yet, their expressions turned calm the moment they entered the building …
Wasn't it the opposite?
In the past, there were some students who came to visit as well. While they were calm outside, they were excited inside.
That was because there was a resting area, canteen, bar and entertainment room in the building. This was a rather good working environment. That was why the students were more excited when they saw this, imagining themselves working in this company in the future.
But, why were the people from Tengda the opposite?
Look carefully! This was an entertainment room! And a resting area!
Wasn't this huge television nice? Wasn't this sofa comfortable to sit on?
Why weren't they reacting at all?
Zhou Muyan was perplexed.
It was normal for them not to react.
Most of them only had a single reaction when they saw the so-called 'entertainment room' and 'snacks area'.
That's it?
You're just a pigeon cage with a small television and a system unit and you have the cheek to call it an entertainment room?
The snacks area only had a few packets of biscuits and potato chips. Furthermore, there was a sign that each employee could only take a limited amount. You have the cheek to call it a 'snacks area'?
After bragging for so long, Tengda even had it and it was way better than yours!
Naturally, none of them could say anything. However, they couldn't help but feel a little bored …
Disappointed, extremely disappointed!
This was the working environment of a top tier domestic gaming company?
They were miles ahead of Tengda!
The building outside looked so nice and yet, it was all just a facade. A single look at the interior was enough to tell that it was ruined!
Everyone's reaction was mediocre and there was an awkward silence.
Ma Yang recalled Pei Qian's instructions and immediately realized that it was time for him to perform.
He couldn't let the atmosphere turn cold and had to take the initiative to ask questions! He had to give more feedback!
At that thought, he looked at the office that was filled to the brim and asked casually, "Eh? Isn't it Saturday today? Why are there so many people working overtime? "
Zhou Muyan was stumped.
Wasn't that a nonsensical question?
How many domestic gaming companies didn't have a 996? If it wasn't for the fact that it was a normal working day, would I be receiving you guys at the office?
That question was way too dumb and Zhou Muyan did not know how to answer it …
Huang Sibo tried to smooth things over. "It's normal for people to work overtime."
Ma Yang nodded. "Yes, that's right. We can even earn some overtime pay. Sigh, with so many people working overtime in the studio, the overtime pay should be quite high, right? "
Overtime pay?
Zhou Muyan was still stumped.
He was puzzled – where did this man with a long face come from?
Why did it feel like he didn't know anything about the industry and was spouting nonsense?
What kind of overtime pay was there in the gaming industry?! Weren't they all 996 for free?!
Looking at Zhou Muyan's slightly unnatural expression, Huang Sibo and the others understood instantly.
Ma Yang was the only one who had not realized it and seemed like he wanted to ask more questions.
Pei Qian tugged at Ma Yang hurriedly.
What kind of questions are you asking?!
I'm asking you to ask questions, not to undermine me! Do you believe that Zhou Muyan will kick you out by then?
I didn't come all the way here just to start a feud with him!
Ma Yang scratched his head, not understanding why Pei Qian was tugging at him secretly.
Aren't these all very normal questions I'm asking? Why? Is there something wrong?
Thankfully, he was not dumb enough to continue asking and could only remain silent.
Zhou Muyan was speechless. However, he was a cultured man and ignored that small interlude, continuing to introduce the working environment of Sun Strike Studios proudly.
However, after witnessing the cruel truth, everyone's interest was piqued and their expressions were rather perfunctory.
Zhou Muyan was puzzled. Logically speaking, everyone should be looking forward and envious, shouldn't they?
The working environment of Sun Strike Studios could definitely beat 90% of the domestic gaming companies!
It didn't make sense that they weren't envious!
