Chapter 6: Making a game is really a good way to lose money

　　"Turn left, go straight, turn right..."

　　Wang Jian turned off the wayfinding APP in his hand and looked up.

　　This is a high-tech park with many Internet companies, with buildings and office buildings prosperous and magnificent.

　　The building in front of Wang Jian stands like a giant, and the appearance of blue glass looks very modern and technological.

　　On the square in front of the building, there is a large amethyst sculpture that reflects a charming purple glow under the sunlight.

　　This is of course artificial crystal, but still very beautiful.

　　"Amethyst Building? It should be here."

　　Looking at the appearance of the building, it is estimated that the monthly rent is not cheap.

　　"Fugui Game Studio", which now belongs to Wang Jian, is located on the eleventh floor.

　　While waiting for the elevator, Wang Jian thought to himself: "This name is too tacky. I must change it when I take over."

　　After getting out of the elevator, follow the direction arrow on the wall at the entrance of the elevator, pass "Tianyu Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd." and "Shunze Flying Bird Culture Media Co., Ltd.", turn a corner, and finally see "Fugui Game Studio" brand.

　　Wang Jian pushed open the frosted glass door and was stunned for a moment.

　　The internal area of ​​the studio is about 100 square meters. However, it is extremely empty at this time. There are only a few worthless desks and chairs. You can't even see a computer, let alone a smart host. You can't see the game studio at all. the way it should be.

　　A chubby programmer-looking little brother was sitting on a chair and brushing his phone with a gloomy expression, as if he was waiting for someone.

　　Wang Jian suddenly thought of his new task.

　　[Requirement: Retain the last employee]

　　Is this the last employee of the studio?

　　Fatty Bai Bai found that someone came in, thinking that the person he was waiting for had arrived, and was instantly overjoyed.

　　After seeing Wang Jian clearly and realizing that he was not the imaginary person, he asked with some doubts, "Who are you?"

　　"The new boss of the studio, Wang Jian."

　　Fatty Bai Bai's expression was stagnant, he held his chubby fist in anger, and said angrily: "Damn, this bastard!"

　　Wang Jian moved a chair and sat beside him, and asked in a relaxed tone, "Can you tell me what's going on?"

　　"Uh, I didn't mean you." Fatty Bai seemed to be a little rude, scratching his head, "My name is Luo Shuai, and I'm a programmer at Fortune Games..."

　　In Luo Shuai's narrative, Wang Jian also roughly clarified the previous situation of the studio.

　　Fugui Games is a game studio established a year ago.

　　The original owner of the studio, the scumbag middle-aged man who handed over the studio to Wang Jian, was originally an ordinary office worker, and his work was also incompatible with games.

　　Just an ordinary person who has won the 5 million lottery in a dream.

　　After getting rich overnight, he was going to do some business investment. Hearing that the game industry is the most profitable, he spent money on the entire studio.

　　What game can a layman come up with?

　　The first is to recruit people. Anyway, I don't understand, so I hire them based on feeling.

　　This blown hype looks a bit horizontal, um, good!

　　This one looks honest and honest, um, good!

　　Among the recruited employees, many of them are cunning people who are not skilled and are good at bluffing horses. They blow rainbow farts every day to make the bearded man happy.

　　And the design idea of ​​​​the game is also decided by listening to the sycophants fooling around during the meeting.

　　What "exquisite graphics, smooth blows, epic narrative..."

　　It has become a rare masterpiece in the sky and the ground. Anyway, as long as the production is completed, it will be tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars in income, just lie down and count the money.

　　It's not that there are no employees who implicitly point out the problem,

Instead, it made the scumbag man unhappy and reprimanded him.

　　In the end, apart from the sycophants, they were basically boring programmers like Luo Shuai.

　　 5 million to buy equipment, rent space, pay wages, plus some messy miscellaneous...

　　Because the boss doesn't understand, the sycophants also engage in a lot of bells and whistles, and they harm the public and private, which is naturally very nourishing.

　　Almost a year has passed, and the windfall from the sky is almost exhausted, but the game has only been made into a semi-finished product that does not look like it, and it is impossible to sell it.

　　Seeing that the funds had bottomed out and the game was far from being completed, Hu Jizuna started to panic. He sold all the smart consoles and struggled for another two months.

　　In the end, the development could only be declared a failure, and a spicy chicken game was stillborn.

　　Even the last month's salary to the employees was not enough, so there was a scene in the square before, and the mess was handed over to Wang Jian.

　　The sycophants sucked a lot of blood in the game production. I heard that the bastard boss ran away, and didn't care about the arrears of wages. They disposed of the remaining equipment at a low price and left.

　　So when Wang Jian came, there were only a few worthless desk chairs left.

　　And Luo Shuai, the unfortunate child, is still waiting eagerly for the boss to come back and settle the salary.

　　After Wang Jian finished the situation, he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot.

　　It turned out that it was just unpaid wages, which was better than he imagined.

　　But next, he learned another important piece of information, that is, the space rented by the studio will expire in half a month.

　　In half a month, you have to earn enough money to pay the rent.

　　Wang Jian checked, the rent of the Amethyst Building is 150 per square meter per month, and his studio is 120 square meters, and he has to pay at least three months' rent at one time, which is about 55,000.

　　Wang Jian has only saved 20,000 yuan in the past year, excluding rent and daily expenses.

　　This time, he couldn't help but feel frightened.

　　Even though "The Demon King" has a unique brain hole and is a new type that no one has ever seen before, earning 35,000 yuan in half a month is still a bit difficult, right?

　　What's more, you have to throw away the time of game production.

　　 35,000 in 10 days, emmmmm...

　　However, completes the task of retaining employees, and can also get a chance to draw a lottery, which may increase the odds of winning.

　　Just when Wang Jian was thinking about how to keep him, Luo Shuai suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't stop looking at Wang Jian, but he hesitated.

　　"By the way, you said you were the new boss, right?"

　　Wang Jian vaguely guessed what he was going to say: "That's right."

　　"That, that..." Luo Shuai rubbed his chubby palm awkwardly, "Can you..."

　　Seeing how embarrassed he was talking, he knew it was about raising his salary.

　　Wang Jian asked neatly: "No problem, how much did the previous boss owe you?"

　　With hope in his eyes, Luo Shuai spread out his five fat fingers: "5000."

　　Okay, I just missed that.

　　"Let's turn you around now, I'll sweep you?"

　　Luo Shuai was a little overjoyed when he heard the words: "Okay."

　　The two quickly completed the transfer.

　　After repaying the salary owed by the previous boss, the atmosphere between the two became a lot more harmonious. Wang Jian took advantage of the situation and chatted with Luo Shuai about the game.

　　Luo Shuai is also an avid game lover. When he talks about classic games, his eyes light up, and he is full of interesting anecdotes about various games. When he mentioned the stillborn spicy chicken game in the studio, he looked depressed and helpless, shook his head and sighed.

　　And Wang Jian's enthusiasm and understanding of the game also won his recognition.

　　"I want you to stay and develop the game with me."

　　Seeing that Luo Shuai was still a little hesitant, Wang Jian revealed a little: "I am going to develop a word game with innovative ideas. Different from other word games, this game uses brain holes as its selling point..."

　　Looking into Luo Shuai's eyes sincerely: "How about it, do you want to develop it with me?"
