Chapter 51 - What a Squeezy Working Area! (1/2)
Chapter 51: What a Squeezy Working Area!
Guangzhou, Sun Strike Studios.
Outside their office building, Xiao Lu and the others were in awe.
Sun Strike Studios had a seven floor office building to themselves! Majestic!
Right at the entrance was Sun Strike Studios’ plague and the building was surrounded by greenery; the environment was rather decent.
Any gaming company that could build their own building was definitely one that did not lack money!
For most people, they wondered what it would be like if they could work at a place as such.
However, Pei Qian was mostly indifferent.
He was only here to lose money with the learning exchange as an excuse. Besides, it was just a larger office space and there was nothing to be envious about.
When the group arrived at the entrance, there were already people from Sun Strike Studios waiting to welcome them.
“Welcome, Assistant Xin! I suppose this is Boss Pei? Hi, hi! I’m the liaison from Sun Strike Studios, Sun Xi!”
The person welcoming them looked to be around 26 years old.
It was said that the producer of Sun Strike Studios, Zhou Muyan, would be meeting with them as well. However, there was no way he would welcome them personally at the entrance with his status – Pei Qian’s group was not at that level yet.
Sun Xi brought everyone in while introducing the place to them on the way.
“This is the bamboo forest in our front yard that we’ve built because we have a game project in a traditional style. Oh, there’s an ancient zither there that a lady in traditional robes would occasionally play as well.”
“At the far end is the car park because some of our colleagues drive to work.”
“Further up is the main lobby. I’ll take you guys to the guest area to meet the project team.”
Pei Qian checked out the place.
A large company was grandiose indeed!
They should have spent quite a bit of money building this place, right?
If they were to build an office building, they could renovate it every now and then for things such as implanting a bamboo forest or customizing some sculptures. All of those would require a massive amount of money and he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to spend his money!
But of course, it would require a few tens of millions just to build such an office building – Pei Qian could not afford it currently.
The System Funds provided by the system was still only at the level of 500,000. Even though the games that Pei Qian made had earned him so much money he wanted to puke, they merely amounted in the millions.
If he could earn in the ballpark of tens or hundreds of million annually, Pei Qian could consider building such an office building in the future.
However, he wished that something like that would never have to happen…
He would rather have the company lose a couple of millions annually than rake in tens or hundreds of millions.
The former would be converted to his Personal Wealth at a rate of 10x compared to the latter…
Assistant Xin was someone who had been out and about and was unmoved with what she saw as well.
However, the others such as Huang Sibo, Xiao Lu and Ma Yang were watching with twinkles in their eyes. They resembled bumpkins that were visiting a city for the first time where everything seemed spectacular and fresh.
But of course, strictly speaking, the benefits offered by Tengda were way better than Sun Strike Studios.
Be it in terms of the working desk space or computer specifications, no companies domestically or even abroad could compete with Tengda.
However, because this company had their own office building and a larger total space, they naturally looked more well to do to outsiders!
At the front desk, everyone could not help but feel pride bubbling within them.
A point back to Tengda!
Tengda’s front desk was a pair of twins whose looks alone outclassed Sun Strike Studios’ front desk – this was a victory to them!
Sun Xi brought everyone to the fourth floor where they met with the producer of Sun Strike Studios, Zhou Muyan.
He was wearing a casual suit; that was quite a formal attire in the gaming industry.
However, when he looked at the group of people, his gaze was locked onto Pei Qian.
‘Fuck, that’s a custom-made suit!’
Zhou Muyan could tell with a single look that the suit was costly – it was worth five digits at the very least!
That caused Zhou Muyan to be the pressured one instead, feeling as though he had lost in terms of image…
At the same time, he was bothered with how the other party was already a boss who had created a success like Ghost General when he looked even younger than an intern!
Could he be a rich second-generation heir?
Yes, that must be the case.
There was no way anyone could afford those clothes otherwise.
Most startup bosses were more conservative with their spending and furthermore, there was no need for expensive attire in the gaming industry.
The both of them exchanged some casual pleasantries, “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
But in reality, none of them knew the other…
Pei Qian did not know the games that Sun Strike Studios had created and vice versa, the other than being the producer of Ghost General, Zhou Muyan knew nothing about Pei Qian.
Their lack of understanding for the other party created a silent agreement where they both skipped over typical praises of the other party as Zhou Muyan brought them around the studio.
“This is our sound recording area where the studio is up ahead.”
“Of course, all our in-game music and sound effects are specially created here.”
“This is the working area. That’s our arts team at work, creating the original arts.”
“This is the training area where we’ll periodically provide training of game designing knowledge.”
“There’s a cosplay outfit here. This was previously worn by a celebrity that we endorsed for a game and it’s been kept here ever since.”
