Chapter 1177: I Am Not Talented, But I Used To Be The Chief Planner Of Shang Yang Games
After the meeting, the entire company’s thinking was basically unified.
Previously, everyone had some grudges against Meng Chang. However, after Meng Chang accurately analyzed Boss Pei’s intentions, everyone believed that he was indeed seriously following Boss Pei’s instructions for publicity.
Since that was the case, what was there to worry about?
Previously, many people had come to Dawn gaming platform with some uncertainty.
That was because he could not figure out Boss Pei’s attitude towards this gaming platform.
If Boss Pei was very supportive, why would he hide his relationship with Tengda and play hell mode from scratch?
If Boss Pei was not supportive, why spend money on a gaming platform and transfer core members from various departments?
He was conflicted.
However, everyone understood after Meng Chang’s explanation.
It turned out that it was not that Boss Pei did not support or care about the games platform, but he had a deeper plan!
Since that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.
As long as he did his job well, the gaming platform would naturally become popular in the future. Boss Pei had such magical power!
Thus, everyone returned to their desks and did their own work.
Tang Yishu and Li Yada returned to their desks and sat down.
The office used to have an independent office. Li Yada hoped that Tang Yishu could work there since she was the person-in-charge.
However, Tang Yishu refused no matter what. She insisted on working with Li Yada in the public area.
Li Yada could not dissuade her as well. Thus, she had no choice but to turn the office into a guest room to receive customers from other games companies.
There might be a large conference room but most of the time, two or three people would talk in person. The large conference room was too spacious. This small room was more suitable as a guest room.
Li Yada began to briefly introduce the two gaming companies that were coming today to Tang Yishu after she sat down at her desk.
These were two Jingzhou local gaming companies. They were not very famous and made mobile games that were not big.
One of the companies’ games had already been released on many platforms and channels. It had been operating steadily for a period of time and was performing well.
Things like channels were never too much for developers. After all, the more channels there were, the more users there would be, and the more income there would be.
The game of another company was still being developed and was in the final testing stage. The quality might be average and it was not a popular work but it was still a new game.
Li Yada briefly introduced the background of these two companies and the basic gameplay of these two games to Tang Yishu.
Fortunately, the gameplay was relatively simple so Tang Yishu easily understood it.
Li Yada planned to play the role of a tool. When discussing cooperation with other games companies, she would not participate or even show her face.
After all, Boss Pei had given her the task of being a good tool.
What’s more, this was to better prevent leaks.
Logically speaking, most local games companies in Jingzhou did not know Li Yada.
That was because Li Yada had not been Tengda’s chief designer for a long time. She herself was very low-profile and rarely showed her face. Tengda had never interacted with other games companies, much less worked with them.
Li Yada had not interacted with anyone from other companies, nor had she been interviewed. Basically, no information had been leaked online.
What’s more, in Tengda, Boss Pei was always the one that everyone paid the most attention to.
It was just like those very impressive workspaces. Everyone might be very familiar with the producers, but who would care about the number one under the producers?
What’s more, the number one underling had been changed so frequently.
However, one could never be too careful.
For safety’s sake, Li Yada decided to stick around and let others think that she was just an ordinary employee. That would be safer.
It was obvious that Tang Yishu was very nervous.
After all, she had never experienced working with the bosses of two games companies before.
Li Yada comforted him. “Don’t worry, don’t worry.”
“At the moment, the people making channels in the domestic games industry are all big shots. Ordinary developers would be very polite to you. You don’t have to be afraid of offending them. At the very most, you can play one less game. It’s no big deal.”
That was definitely the truth.
In China, game developers like Tengda, who was so strong-willed and did not rely on any channels, were extremely rare.
Most small game developers did not have enough work to be able to stand out on the official platform. They could only work hard to channel more and have a higher chance of making money.
When developers’ games were not very competitive, the voice of the channel would naturally be magnified infinitely. After all, the channel controlled the resources and the players.
At the moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the small local channels were in chaos. Many of the channels might have to take more than 70%.
Thus, even though the 50: 50 ratio of the Dawn Games platform looked very dark, it was not that dark either. The key was who to compete with.
Tang Yishu tried her best to memorize the basic information that Li Yada had given her. However, before she could memorize it, an employee came over and said, “Manager Tang, the people from the first company have arrived. They might have arrived ten minutes earlier than expected because there was no traffic today.”
It was also a problem with how Tang Yishu was addressed.
Generally speaking, apart from a few people in Tengda who were called Boss X, everyone else called him by his name or by his name. After all, Tengda’s working atmosphere was relatively harmonious. There was basically not much hierarchy. Everyone had their own jobs and were in charge of different specific tasks.
However, the problem was that Tang Yishu was younger and less experienced than these employees. It did not seem appropriate to call her older sister but it was obviously not appropriate to call her by her name or Little Tang.
Therefore, according to Tengda’s habit, this situation would be called “Manager Tang”. This meant that Tang Yishu was the CEO of the company in name but was actually here to supervise the department on behalf of Boss Pei.
Tang Yishu was a little flustered. “Huh? I haven’t memorized it…”
Li Yada said, “It’s alright. If you haven’t memorized it, so be it. What are you afraid of? Let’s meet in the guest room. Don’t make them wait.”
Tang Yishu struggled for a moment before standing up. She went to meet the representative of the games company apprehensively.
…
An employee served tea in the guest room.
Tang Yishu sat on the sofa and tried her best to straighten her back, showing the authority of a department head.
The person opposite her was slightly bald. He looked to be in his thirties. He had a “very good sense of himself” temperament. Tang Yishu subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable.
Why was it uncomfortable?
Perhaps it was because this aura was incompatible with Tengda’s aura!
Tengda’s employees would always be humble no matter how much they achieved. After all, no matter how outstanding a person was, no matter how outstanding their results were, they would naturally become humble at the thought that Boss Pei was above them.
Tang Yishu tried her best to show respect even though the atmosphere was different. After all, she could not deny someone with a stereotype.
“Manager Tang, how are you? It’s our first time meeting. Just call me Old Liu.”
“Our boss has been rather busy recently. After all, the results of the game are not bad. He’s out on a business trip and can’t leave. Therefore, as the chief planner, I came on his behalf.”
“You might not know me very well. To be honest, I’m not very talented. I used to be the chief planner in Shang Yang Games.”
“What’s more, our game has already gone on many channels and performed very well. I believe that this cooperation will be a win-win situation!”
Old Liu spoke confidently to Tang Yishu.
In fact, he was a little surprised and even a little disappointed when he first saw Tang Yishu.
This little girl was actually the boss of this company?
No matter how he looked at it, something was amiss!
If someone wanted to create a gaming platform, they would have either money or resources.
If they did not have them, they had to have experience. That was the only way to pull money from the investors and fight for resources from the human resources.
However, Tang Yishu looked so young. How could she have the resources or experience?
Obviously, the only explanation was that she had money.
Another young rich second-generation heir?
Eh, why another…
Obviously, the combination of a new company, a young boss, and a rich second-generation heir had dug up some bad memories in Old Liu.
Back then, when he went for an interview not long after Tengda was established, he was also dissuaded by such a combination and was rejected.
That made Old Liu instinctively feel that this Dawn Games platform was a little unreliable.
However, on further thought, he felt that this might be a good thing.
Since the boss of this gaming platform was a young lady, did that mean that she was easy to fool?
Even if he bragged a little, the other party would not be able to tell, right?
Thus, Old Liu laid his cards on the table and said that he had once been the chief planner in Shang Yang Games.
Shang Yang Games was now very famous in Jingzhou and even the domestic games industry.
Once he mentioned his resume as the chief planner in Shang Yang Games, who would not view him in a new light?
Strictly speaking, Old Liu was not lying. He had indeed been the chief planner of Shang Yang Games before, but before Tengda bought Shang Yang Games over.
If he said that, the other party would definitely think that he and the game project he developed were especially impressive. That would increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations.
However, Tang Yishu did not react.
In fact, she was very confused, but she did not show it.
Shang Yang Games… had someone called Liu? And he was so old?
She had no impression.
Tang Yishu had not been to Shang Yang Games much, but she had often heard reports from Manage Loss Trainees. She had a basic understanding of Shang Yang Games. Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, and Wang Xiaobin had always been in charge of that place. No one here had the surname Liu.
Old Liu felt that something was amiss seeing Tang Yishu’s expression.
Logically speaking, if the other party really did not understand, she should at least be polite, right?
However, this little girl did not have any intention of being polite. He did not know what she was thinking.
Did this little girl happen to know some inside information about Shang Yang Games?
Impossible, it was impossible.
Could it be that… she had never even heard of Shang Yang Games? Did she not know how awesome this company was?
That was a little ridiculous! They were in the gaming channel after all. How could they not have heard of Shang Yang Games?
Too amateurish!
This intensified his prejudice against this gaming platform. He felt that it was very unreliable.
Old Liu immediately lost interest and changed the topic. “It’s alright… Manager Tang, why don’t we hurry up and look at a game?”
Tang Yishu continued probing and nodded. “Alright.”
