Chapter 489 Crowdfund to Make a Game
April 18th, Monday…
The matter of the Secret Service had been handed over to Little Tang. He had no idea what kind of people she would find.
There were many departments in Tengda now. They would need at least a dozen people even if each department were to have one Manage Loss Trainee. It was impossible to get so many of them in a hurry.
Pei Qian’s request was to gather everyone before next Saturday. That was so that he could hold a secret meeting on Saturday, when no one else was there, to arrange their work. There was a slight sense of mystery to it.
Pei Qian slept until he woke up naturally today. He came to the office after eating to show his face.
A knock from outside the door happened before he could open the Aili Island website to watch his drama.
“Eh?”
Pei Qian could not help but frown. What was so urgent?
This person had obviously been waiting outside for quite some time since he knocked two minutes after he entered the office.
“Enter.”
Hu Xianbin pushed the door open.
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the development of Struggle?” Pei Qian could not help but harbor some expectations in his heart.
Hu Xianbin shook his head. “No, the development of Struggle has been rather smooth. It’s regarding GOG!”
Pei Qian could not help but feel bothered.
On the one hand, it was because Struggle was developing well. On the other hand, Hu Xianbin was still worried about GOG. That was rather inconsistent with the Tengda spirit.
Pei Qian coughed lightly. “There is no need to tell me about GOG. There is something wrong with your thinking about work.
“The energy of a human is limited. You can only do one thing at one time. How can you manage the development of Struggle and operate GOG at the same time? “Hurry relinquish GOG’s operations.”
Hu Xianbin was an R&D staff member in the second half of GOG. He was responsible for the launch of the mobile game version. He was very familiar with the GOG project.
Pei Qian got Hu Xianbin to be responsible for Struggle, so that he would no longer be bothered about the operations of GOG. As a result, he was trying to do both jobs together. That was simply too much.
Hu Xianbin was slightly shocked. “Uh, Okay Boss Pei, I’ll delegate the entire work to Min Jingchao. However… I do have something urgent to report regarding the GOG project!”
Pei Qian nodded. “Um, continue.”
Hu Xianbin seemed very urgent. “Boss Pei, I hope you can make an exception to urgently recruit some people for Tengda Games’ gaming department!”
Pei Qian frowned. Make an exception? Urgently recruit some people? Bro, that’s a very dangerous thought!
Tengda had a bi-annual recruitment drive in May and November. It was set at such timing to avoid the peak recruitment season. The recruitment process was relatively cumbersome, and so it required enough time for new employees to go through resignation procedures and handover work. The actual entry would only be one month later.
However, Pei Qian looked at the date and realized that it was already April 18th. What was so urgent at GOG that they could not hold out for a month?
There was definitely something wrong here!
Pei Qian attached great importance to it in his heart, but he still asked calmly on the surface. “What is the rush for recruitment?”
“Boss Pei, IOI wants to engage in an ‘arms race’ with us. GOG’s project is now in urgent need of manpower expansion. Otherwise, our first-mover advantage would be lost!”
Pei Qian could not help but be delighted. He did not know what an ‘arms race’ meant here, but he was very clear on one point: Lin Wan made her move!
The domestic server for IOI should be almost ready by now. A series of publicity strategies should be formulated, and they’re ready to start from the GOG market.
He did not know how Hu Xianbin obtained the news. However, considering that Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games were brother divisions, it was not surprising that they would obtain information from certain channels.
Pei Qian smiled with anticipation. “Really? Tell me about it.”
Hu Xianbin hurriedly replied, “The strategy at IOI is to win by volume. They are desperately updating with two new heroes every month according to the current plan. That is too fast!
“We have slightly fewer heroes in GOG than in IOI. However, it is still within an acceptable range.
“We will definitely be left behind if we were to update a new hero once every two months. GOG will be able to obtain the advantage, and we will be gone!”
Pei Qian nodded his head at the criticisms.
Great, both Finger Games and Lin Wan were very reliable, eh! The scenario still panned out like how it should in my imagination. I really have no other qualms.
Pei Qian’s expression became calmer and lighter. “Therefore, you want to recruit more people to compete in speed?”
Hu Xianbin nodded. “Yes, we have no reason to lose to them in speed! Whoever can update faster would be able to better maintain the stickiness of the players and the overall popularity of the game. The advantage in this respect is too great! “Whoever can prevail now shall win. GOG will absolutely not give in!”
Pei Qian was silent for a moment. “I don’t agree with your views.
“It’s definitely not possible to recruit in advance. I do not recommend for the gaming department to recruit too many people even in the recruitment drive next month.”
