Chapter 271: Being courteous for nothing

It's easy for trivial things to spread in the same circle, not to mention the talk of "a small studio in country Z seeking cooperation with a large game company in country M".

Some people even told it as a joke to other colleagues, and Richard heard about it from a "joke".

After several confirmations, Richard really took some time to understand Du Yunkai's Jingshan Technology.

When he was in the original company, he and Du Yunkai were partners in the same group. They both joined the company at the same time right after graduation. They were competitors at first, but later they discovered each other's strengths during the competition, and they became mutual admirers, and then they became partners.

When Du Yunkai made the decision to return to China, Richard was extremely puzzled: "Why? Kai, you know, the company we are in now is already a leader in the game industry, and I don't believe that Congress Z will have a better platform for you. In addition, It is said that Country Z has no grading system, and the review is very strict, and there is no freedom at all in making games.”

Du Yunkai thought to himself, is your place any better? It is true that from a technical perspective, it is quite strong, but in terms of freedom, it is really hard to say. Here, as long as it involves Political Correctness, any trivial matter can be put on the line.

The company's development has been handcuffed by this gadget. For the sake of the so-called "stand" and "equal rights," the game that their team spent a lot of effort to develop has been abruptly changed into something completely different. I want to please every group, but end up being criticized by all groups.

Du Yunkai was so angry that he kept getting angry and had a mild oral ulcer that did not heal for two weeks.

But he didn't want to tell Richard any of these things. For the sake of his own safety, Du Yunkai had always avoided talking about sensitive topics.

He said: "My mother asked me to go home for a blind date."

Richard stared at him blankly for a long time, and after a while he held back a sentence: "Are you kidding me???"

After Du Yunkai returned to China, their group suffered serious losses due to declining profits, and was disbanded and reorganized not long after.

Richard had the endorsement of his immediate superior, so he was parachuted to another department and became a small leader.

After that, D&L Game suddenly emerged, poaching people here, and Richard was promised twice the salary and jumped ship.

He also knew that Du Yunkai established a game studio after returning to China, but he didn't take it to heart. He had never been optimistic about the level and market of country Z, and didn't think Du Yunkai could make any excellent games with a group of people who had no redeeming qualities. .

Until he heard a "joke" about Du Yunkai at an industry gathering.

Richard used the browser's built-in translation function to convert the language displayed on the web page into English. He read section by section and discovered that since the establishment of Du Yunkai's Jingshan Technology, the only game independently developed and produced was "The Case of the Great Zhao 21".

He downloaded the game from the mobile app store with doubts and curiosity, and was attracted by the exquisite painting style at first sight: "Oh, the mysterious oriental aesthetics!"

However, he was unable to operate the next step. He could not understand any of the square characters on the interface. So I hired an international student from country Z and asked him to play and explain it to me.

International students usually have to attend classes, so they regard this job as a high-paying "tutor" and "teach" Richard for an hour every day. But once the game is played, one hour is not enough, so it is increased to two hours a day, and then to the whole day on weekends.

I played like this for a month, during which time I loaded and restarted several times, and finally cleared all the levels. Richard was so fascinated that he even learned a few Chinese words from the NPCs in the game.

After careful consideration, Richard and the senior management of D&L Game strongly recommended Du Yunkai and his studio. The senior management had never paid attention to the game market in country Z before. After seeing the materials submitted by Richard, they immediately sent someone to conduct research.

The results are gratifying and profitable. After discussion, the senior management decided to open the door through Jingshan Technology, so they handed over the contact to Richard.

Therefore, this "olive branch" can be regarded as being promoted by Richard alone.

But after all, D&L Game's reputation and reputation were there. Even if Richard came to be a lobbyist, Du Yunkai still didn't think much about it and declined.

But Richard doesn't want to. He likes the games made by Du Yunkai too much. If this is changed to a client game, he believes that not only in country Z, but also in country M, there will be a large number of players willing to pay for it.

Look at those who quit drug addiction by reading online novels from country Z, look at those who are addicted to cultivating immortals, and look at those who study hard for the mysterious power of the East.

Richard sent another message to Du Yunkai: [Kai, really, please, please think about it again, okay? 】

[I apologize for my previous remarks. I apologize solemnly. The game you made based on the cultural soil of country Z is really excellent. I was deeply attracted]

[Let’s cooperate. Don’t you miss the days when we fought side by side?]

【Let us work together to create greater glory】

After this round of information bombardment, Richard compiled a document about the strength of D&L Game and sent it to Du Yunkai.

Richard: [Look, D&L has everything you need]

[I have not forwarded the email you rejected to the upper management, please think about it again]

After Du Yunkai read this document, to be honest, he was really moved. But the studio is not his alone. According to D&L Game's work style, he was really worried that something would happen once the cooperation was finalized, so he went over to discuss it with Xu Qingsong.

Although several of Du Yunkai's dandy friends also bought shares, they only received dividends and had no decision-making power - they didn't want it either. From the beginning, they just wanted to do a favor for the sake of their friends, and they just lost the money. If you start your own business, you will most likely lose money, so just treat it as a joke.

Unexpectedly, Du Yunkai really made money with them. They were so happy that they couldn't find anything to say, and they were very proud at home. From then on, I knew that following Du Yunkai, I would have meat to eat and face, and I would be happy to just take money and do nothing.

Therefore, the major decisions of the studio are basically made through consultation between Du Yunkai and Xu Qingsong, and then let a professional team do the evaluation, and then the two of them make the final decision.

After Xu Qingsong read the document, the smile on his face was a little joking: "It is undeniable that D&L has poached so many elites over the years, so it does have this strength."

"What do you think about cooperation?" Du Yunkai asked him.

"To be courteous for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief." Xu Qingsong shook his head.

"It's so ugly," Du Yunkai laughed, but he thought so too, but still had some hope, "But this matter was led by Richard."

Xu Qingsong patted him: "You know people but you don't know their hearts. Calculate how long it has been since you came back. He has already switched jobs to D&L. Can you ensure that he will not change?"

Du Yunkai joked: "Hey, they are all working people. It's not like you and me, rich young men, who can do whatever they want. In order to live a better life, of course, where there is more money, we will go wherever we have more money."
