Chapter 29: An Excellent Assistant.
Pei Qian never expected to see a game review about "Ghost General" on a portal website!
Out of curiosity, he clicked to take a look.
"Recently, a mobile game called "Ghost General" has suddenly become popular. Without any active promotion from the developer, the number of downloads reached nearly 80,000 in the first week!"
"It is estimated that this game's active user base, player satisfaction, and retention rate are all much higher than other card games of the same period. It can even be said to be unparalleled and unmatched!"
"Many industry insiders once believed that the current card game market has become a red ocean. Even "Q-cute Three Kingdoms," the originator of card games, inevitably faces a decline in active users and revenue, and has not found a good solution."
"But the game "Ghost General" completely subverts this view, proving that there is still huge potential for development in card games!"
"So, how did this game manage to go against the trend and become the successor to "Q-cute Three Kingdoms" and the new benchmark for card games in the eyes of many players?"
"Next, the author will use professional analysis to reveal the secrets behind the success of "Ghost General"!"
"First, "Ghost General" does not follow the Q-cute style led by "Q-cute Three Kingdoms," but adopts a completely new visual style to reshape the images of the Three Kingdoms characters, refreshing the players' experience!"
"The repetitive Q-cute characters have bored players, and this new epic ink and oil painting style allows them to see a different Three Kingdoms, making them feel good at first sight!"
"Second, "Ghost General" simplifies the cumbersome card game mechanics, extracting the essence and discarding the dross, retaining only the most basic and classic gameplay, reducing the burden on players!"
"Mature card games like "Q-cute Three Kingdoms" only understand addition, making the original relaxing card game extremely time-consuming, causing players to suffer."
"But "Ghost General" only keeps the most basic gameplay, requiring only one or two hours of play per day, winning the favor of many casual players and avoiding 'time wars' with other games!"
"Third, "Ghost General" is such a conscientious game!"
"Besides the one-time purchase of 10 yuan, the only expense in the game is a 30 yuan lifetime card, ensuring absolute equality between players. Even without spending a lot of time or money, players can experience all the fun of card games!"
"This is the key factor in the success of "Ghost General" and the fundamental reason for the overwhelming positive reviews!"
"Perhaps "Ghost General" is leading the future development direction of card games. We believe that more and more fair and relaxing card games will emerge in the future!"
Below the news, netizens commented.
"Professional!"
"Very well said!"
"Indeed, I play "Ghost General" because it's fair, and I can draw rare cards without spending money!"
"I also really like the art style of the game. Just collecting generals and lighting up the gallery is enough for me to play for a year!"
And so on.
After reading the whole article, Pei Qian was a bit doubtful about life.
Does this really work?
Is the "Ghost General" I made and the "Ghost General" you're playing the same game?!
Changing the art style was meant to discourage players who like the Q-cute style!
"Simplifying the game mechanics"? It's not that I want to simplify, it's that the template I bought only has these functions, and I can't even use the editor properly, so I can't change it even if I want to!
Is the game really that conscientious?!
"That's because I intentionally set the price that way, so that the big spenders wouldn't affect my losses!" Pei Qian explained.
How did all these become advantages?!
Pei Qian simply wanted to die.
The world was too crazy; there must be something wrong somewhere!
Pei Qian put down his phone and silently pondered life.
...
"Mr. Pei, hello, sorry to keep you waiting."
A man in his thirties wearing a suit and leather shoes entered the room, shaking hands with Pei Qian.
"I am the regional general manager of Exon Human Resources Group in Hando Province and a senior headhunter consultant. I am pleased to serve you. You can call me Lawrence."
This headhunter consultant with an English name was very polite because Pei Qian had already told the receptionist his identity when he entered the door: the boss of Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd.
A one-on-one service with a senior headhunter consultant at the manager level required an additional consultation fee, and Pei Qian did not hesitate at all, showing his wealth and generosity.
The headhunting company naturally did not dare to neglect him.
Of course, Pei Qian's main reason for being so indifferent was that he was spending the system's money, which he did not care about at all.
"I came here with a clear purpose - I want to hire an assistant," Pei Qian said directly.
"Alright, what are your specific requirements?"
Manager Luo still maintained a very professional smile.
"Well... the most expensive one!" Pei Qian showed a "money is no object" expression.
Employee salaries were also deducted from the system funds, so Pei Qian naturally hoped that the higher the salary, the better, resulting in more deductions and losses!
Manager Luo smiled, "Okay, I've noted that. However, there are some more specific aspects, such as whether you prefer an administrative secretary-type assistant or a young talent cultivation-type assistant?"
Pei Qian was slightly puzzled, "What's the difference?"
Manager Luo explained with a smile, "There is a difference, of course."
"An administrative secretary-type president's assistant is usually a very capable young woman who is responsible for taking care of the president's mundane tasks, similar to a celebrity's agent."
"Annual salaries range from 100,000 to 350,000, with some exceptional ones reaching around 400,000 at the most."
"Young talent cultivation-type president's assistants are typically outstanding young men, cultivated as the backbone of the company, and may become the company's vice president or successor to the president in the future..."
"Of course, the two are not mutually exclusive, and it mainly depends on your needs."
Without hesitation, Pei Qian chose the former.
There was nothing to hesitate about. Tenda Network Technology Co., Ltd. had only two people, and it would be absurd to consider the issue of a successor at this point...
Moreover, Pei Qian had no interest in male secretaries.
Not at all!
Manager Luo nodded, "Alright, please wait a moment, we have several resumes here, you can take a look and screen them."
Moments later, several resumes were placed in front of Pei Qian.
All were young and beautiful girls with similar resumes.
All had excellent educational backgrounds.
All were fluent in English, and some were proficient in three languages.
In terms of experience, some had served as president's assistants in top domestic conglomerates.
There were also some additional bonus points, such as being proficient in finance and legal knowledge.
Manager Luo added, "These candidates are the best presidential assistant talents in Hando Province. Our headhunters have communicated with them and can guarantee that they are all graceful, organized, and excellent in dealing with people and handling matters."
Pei Qian flipped through the resumes and picked out the most expensive one in terms of expected salary.
