Xinghe Technology.
Yu Tian had contacted Xu Guodong beforehand. He wanted the staff to greet the new employees at the main entrance.
It had been a while since there was such a big event at the company. Upon learning the “national treasure” Yan Qingshan was their special guest, Guodong immediately arranged for a big welcome.
A red carpet had been rolled out by the lobby’s entrance. Fresh flowers and confetti were scattered along both sides of the carpet.
The employees were lined up on both sides of the entrance too. Everyone had a sincere smile on their face.
They knew that Qingshan joining the company meant a high probability of success for their new development!
This project would not only benefit the country and its people, but also immense wealth for the company!
Yu Tian nodded with satisfaction after getting out of the car.
“Old Xu is good at his job.”
“President Yu, may I ask how you managed to convince Yan Qingshan?”
Guodong asked. He was clearly confused. Numerous large-scale companies had tried hiring Yan Qingshan before, but none ever succeeded.
How did Yu Tian accomplish such a feat on his first try?
Yu Tian shrugged.
“It’s all thanks to Xiao Yun. Don’t forget to give her a bonus.”
At first, Xiao Yun was surprised to hear this. However, she soon understood the young man’s intention.
Her cheeks immediately blushed.
Yu Tian was trying to tell Guodong that she was more than just a pretty face. In fact, she had made a huge contribution at a critical time!
Shortly after, Qingshan arrived with his team.
They were evidently shocked to see the fancy welcome party.
A serious expression took over Qingshan’s face. Several seconds later, he said, “Yu Tian, this is such a waste.”
“Professor Yan, this wasn’t my idea. Guodong and the rest of the staff just wanted to give you a warm welcome. Besides, we really appreciate you and your team coming to Xinghe Technology.”
Yu Tian curled his lips into a smile. He had great respect for experts and professionals.
“Well, clear it up. Let’s head for the meeting! We don’t have much time!”
Qingshan waved his hand dismissively.
“Oh, right. Arrange for our accommodation to be somewhere close to the company. We want to eat and stay nearby. Actually, it’d be best if we can stay in the office.”
Yu Tian was rather surprised by this request.
Yan Qingshan’s motivation and fighting spirit was on another level.
Guodong quickly nodded.
“Professor Yan, there are employee accommodations upstairs. They’re five-star rooms. We provide single rooms as well.”
“That’s good. Let’s get straight to work.”
Qingshan waved his hand and led his team upstairs.
He seemed to be even more impatient than Yu Tian and Guodong.
However, his enthusiasm for work motivated all of the staff at Xinghe Technology.
Things went smoothly.
Yu Tian left the meeting room after listening to the details of the project. He was left with no choice. Qingshan and the developers were discussing in-depth technical concepts that he did not understand.
The young man was free again after handling the company’s crisis.
Since he was bored, he chatted with Xiao Yun in his office about random topics.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
It was a call from Li Shancheng and Situ Kun.
Yu Tian fell into deep thought after asking the two of them to come over.
He ordered his secretary, “Xiao Yun, get the person in charge of our company’s gaming department here.”
Then, he clicked into the company’s internal website to check out their gaming projects.
Ten minutes later, Han Sanqiang, the gaming department’s manager arrived.
“My apologies, President Yu. I was in the washroom,” said Sanqiang with blushed cheeks. He did not expect to be called into the newly promoted president’s office while he was in the bathroom.
It was such bad timing!
He really wished he could shove all the contents back into his body so the president would not have to wait for him.
Yu Tian waved his hand dismissively.
“I’ve checked out the progress of the gaming department. It’s doing good, so keep it up.”
Sanqiang heaved a sigh of relief at the sound of that.
Luckily, he was not in trouble with the boss.
“Yes. President Yu, I’ll try my best and not disappoint you,” replied Sanqiang with a smile.
Yu Tian nodded.
“I’d like to develop a game. Can you spare me a few developers?”
“What kind of game do you have in mind?”
Sanqiang frowned ever so slightly. He had heard about the incident where the boss got into a fight with the representatives of some gaming company.
Yu Tian briefly explained his idea. After listening to him, Sanqiang’s eyes twinkled with brilliance.
“President Yu, I’d personally like to get involved in this project with five of my best employees. I believe we can work well with the other company and come up with something incredible in a short time.”
Sanqiang spoke as if he was giving out a military order. He was an expert in gaming development. Thus, he grasped the key concepts right away after hearing the boss’s idea.
The game might attract unprecedented attention when launched.
At the same time, Sancheng and Kun had arrived.
“The three of you should talk.”
Yu Tian let them talk among each other and catch up to speed for about ten minutes.
Then, he said, “I’ll leave the project in your hands. Tell me, how soon can we do an alpha-testing?”
Alpha testing?
The three men appeared to be rather surprised. They did not expect Yu Tian to be so confident in his plan.
They discussed briefly before coming to a conclusion.
“President Yu, if everything goes as planned, it can be done in three months.”
Yu Tian looked at the calendar and shook his head.
“No, that’s too long. University students will have their break soon. The alpha testing must be ready within a month.”
Almost every new game was targeted at university students, especially in their initial testing stage.
This demographic of users would make marketing much easier later on.
With that being said, the summer holiday was an extremely important time for a newly launched game.
Furthermore, internet live streams would help to market a product very effectively.
The three men appeared to be reluctant. A shadow veiled over Yu Tian’s features.
“You’ve seen Professor Yan’s attitude earlier. He made the decision to live at the company without any hesitation. The older man has such an amazing attitude towards work. I hope he becomes your role model. This world belongs to the young. You shouldn’t relax more than the older generation. I’ll provide the financial budget and other forms of support. All you need to do is finish the product within a month’s time. Of course, I’ll not let your effort be wasted. After the game is launched, the net profit of the first month will be your bonuses!”
The net profit of the first month would be their bonuses?
Their eyes instantly shone with brilliance.
Other people might not know this, but the three men were well aware of how much that could possibly amount to.
Given Xinghe Technology’s capabilities, the first month’s net profit of a newly launched product would bring in at least ten million yuan.
In other words, they could gain at least a million yuan as bonuses.
The thought of it was exhilarating!
All of a sudden, burning the midnight oil for a month did not seem to be a problem.
“President Yu, I promise that I’ll complete the mission!”
Sanqiang, who was overwhelmed with excitement, even saluted his boss.
Shancheng and Kun followed suit.
Yu Tian chuckled at the sight.
“What’s this about? You’re not in the army. Anyway, get back to work. Our time is limited!” said Yu Tian before asking them to leave.
Xiao Yun, who was listening from the side, could not hold back her curiosity.
“President Yu, how are you so confident about the game?”
“I’m not confident, but I have enough money to splash on the project.. With such a huge budget, I can probably create the greatest game of all time!”
