Chapter 49: Sun Strike Studios

Guangzhou.

Sun Strike Studios.

“Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd.?”

“They want to come to our studios for a learning exchange?”

Zhou Muyan was befuddled.

This was the first time that he had heard of a gaming company wanting to conduct a learning exchange with another!

Something as such was typically done by university students for experiential learning to prepare themselves for working life post school.

Yet, there was never a gaming company that would organize something as such for its employees!

At least not domestically.

That was because most of the domestic gaming companies were in pursuit of profits. A long distance learning exchange would be a costly expenditure!

With an estimated 30 men group’s air tickets, hotel and other expenses and taking into the account that they would not be working for those days, that would add up to be quite a sum.

Furthermore, it wasn’t as though doing something as such would actually reap in much benefits for the company – it was a pure loss of money.

Even though they termed it as a learning exchange, what was there to learn about?

Which company would be so stupid…?

Zhou Muyan’s first instinct was to reject them.

He was the producer of Sun Strike Studios and was quite reputable within the industry.

Of course, technically speaking, it was more of being infamous. Since there were many people who flamed Sun Strike Studios, he could not avoid being associated with the insults since he was the producer.

Zhou Muyan was merely his nickname, not his real name. In the South, many companies had nicknames as it was the trend there and Sun Strike Studios was no different.

Recently, Sun Strike Studios was in the midst of creating an online FPS and they had been in production for more than a year with internal beta testing about to commence.

Under such a critical period, Zhou Muyan truly could not be bothered to entertain employees of a gaming company from a far Handong Province.

“Boss Zhou, this is a famous company! They were the ones that created Ghost General! I suggest we take some time to meet with them. If you don’t have the time, we can let Brother Sun go meet them. It won’t take much effort for him to bring them around the company,” The administrative girl who was in contact with Xin Hailu reminded.

“They made Ghost General?!”

Zhou Muyan was stunned and instantly felt that the girl’s words made sense.

As the saying went, the more friends you have the more options you have in life.

Even though they were competitors, rejecting their kind intentions of traveling such a long way just to visit and exchange thoughts would seem rather heartless.

Furthermore, Zhou Muyan knew of Ghost General – that was a mobile game that was extremely hot recently. It was clear that the creator of it was no fool.

Perhaps it would be quite a good idea to meet and get to know someone like that as well.

In any case, it would just take a single day at most and they would not really disrupt work by taking a spin around the office as well.

At that thought, Zhou Muyan nodded. “Alright, agree to it then. Set a date with them first. I’ll greet them personally.”

“Sure thing, Boss Zhou. Also, the elimination list of the newcomers is out. Please take a look at it.”

Zhou Muyan scanned through the list.

“Other than Lin Wan, fire the rest according to procedures.”

“Sure thing,” The girl did not probe further as she left with the list.

The lowest elimination system was commonplace in many gaming companies, especially those that hired more people from school.

It was the same for Sun Strike Studios as well. They would hire graduates and conduct an evaluation a few months into the job where the lowest ranked 15% would be fired.

For those fired graduates, they would be in an extremely awkward situation.
