Chapter 210 Getting Feverish for Dreams

This inexplicable "miraculous operation"
In Wang Manni's opinion, it was utterly outrageous. Li Haoyu even got a long lecture from Wang Manni. She finally had a day off, and it was wasted like this.
Wouldn't it be better for the two of them to go shopping together and see a newly released movie? Li Haoyu has been busy for most of the day, but in the end, it will all be for nothing.
The two even made a bet.
But subsequent results quickly proved Li Haoyu's judgment correct.
The facts also slapped Wang Manni in the face.
This seemingly outrageous move had an immediate effect. That afternoon, Li Haoyu received several times more resumes than usual.
This is so incredibly realistic.
Li Haoyu sighed, "Sure enough, everything needs to be packaged."
This art style seems familiar!
He also stirred up Li Haoyu's memories, reminding him of the previous world. He had also used the same rhetoric to piece together his initial startup team.
This made Li Haoyu even more certain of one thing:
It's not that he's harboring malicious intentions and has to lie to people.
As the saying goes, true feelings are hard to retain, but tricks win people's hearts.
Because of her blind confidence, Wang Manni lost her bet with Li Haoyu. That night, Wang Manni had to wear another uniform that Li Haoyu had bought, and she would have to pay the price.
……
Soon, Li Haoyu met his first victim.
No... the job applicant.
The first male applicant was Ma Dong, a graduate of the Computer Science Department of National Chiao Tung University.
Li Haoyu nodded, knowing that Jiaotong University is a 211 university.
Computer science is the school's flagship program. Putting everything else aside, Ma Dong's ability to get into this program means he's unlikely to be lacking in academic skills.
He's definitely much better than that mediocre programmer. We've caught a big fish this time; we can't let him get away.
Otherwise, Li Haoyu would have to code all by himself again.
He didn't want to spend his days with code in the days to come.
Li Haoyu made up his mind.
We'll do whatever it takes to completely sway Ma Dong.
We absolutely cannot let him slip away.
At this moment, Ma Dong, who had just graduated, was unaware that he had already been targeted by Li Haoyu. Ma Dong was still a little nervous, after all, this was his first job interview.
Li Haoyu coughed twice on purpose first.
Sure enough, it instantly attracted Ma Dong's attention.
Ma Dong immediately straightened his back.
He looked at Li Haoyu intently, waiting for Li Haoyu to speak.
Li Haoyu remained silent for a long time, but did not say anything.
Just as Ma Dong was about to ask a question.
He then slowly asked, "What is your dream?"
Ma Dong, a top student who graduated from a prestigious university, never goes into a battle unprepared and has studied interview tips compiled online.
For example, "How to Win the Psychological Battle of the Interview", "108 Common Questions from Bosses", and "Eighteen Taboos in Negotiating Salary".
Ma Dong was clearly taken aback.
This problem was clearly beyond his preparation.
He guessed that Li Haoyu might ask him, "What can you bring to the company? Or what are your career plans? What works have you done?"
Ma Dong had prepared his prepared remarks, but he swallowed them back.
The USB drive he clutched tightly in his hand contained his work and graduation project from the past four years. Ma Dong had originally intended to wow Li Haoyu, but now his plan had fallen through.
But Ma Dong quickly came to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he said, "My ultimate dream is to make a game that people will truly remember. I want to leave my mark on the gaming industry."
After hearing Ma Dong's answer, Li Haoyu did not rush to reply.
He simply nodded thoughtfully.
Li Haoyu thought to himself, "I didn't expect this chubby guy to be an idealist."
This makes it even easier to fool them!
Seeing that Ma Dong answered so readily, it was clear that he had no ulterior motives.
Li Haoyu changed his plans at the last minute, no longer intending to lure him with benefits. He intended to win over this idealist.
People like Ma Dong are often highly skilled professionals, not only possessing considerable expertise in their respective fields, but also excelling at whatever they do.
However, people like Ma Dong often have very eccentric temperaments.
If you say something that touches their sore spot, they'll explode like a pot boiling over.
So, how do you win their hearts?
For ordinary workers, it doesn't matter what they do, as long as they have enough money to support their families. As a leader, you just need to avoid finding fault with them.
But for a passionate young man like Ma Dong...
Although he has made some compromises and changes after repeated setbacks in reality, what matters most to him is whether the company's aspirations, ambitions, and values align with his own.
Li Haoyu got straight to the point: "Have you played '2048'? It's the first game our company developed."
Ma Dong nodded and said, "This game is actually from our company? To be honest, I was playing this game on the subway before the interview!"
Li Haoyu openly admitted his shortcomings.
"To be honest, the huge success of '2048' was largely due to luck. There was a market gap, and there weren't many decent competitors in the casual game genre, which led to its immense popularity."
Ma Dong was taken aback, then shook his head.
"Actually, '2048' is still a great game."
Li Haoyu asked, "As a game enthusiast, have you ever thought about making a domestic AAA game yourself?"
He opened his mouth, but after reading for a long time, he finally managed to say a single sentence.
"How could I dare to even think about such a thing? It's something that so many domestic gaming giants haven't been able to achieve. What right do I, a recent college graduate, have to say such things?"
Li Haoyu pressed further, "Why don't you even dare to think about it? What do you think is the reason why domestically produced AAA games have never succeeded?"
Looking at Li Haoyu's serious expression, Ma Dong realized he wasn't joking. Besides, Li Haoyu was the big boss of a game company; there was no reason for him to make such a low-class joke to amuse him.
Ma Dong thought about it seriously and said, "It's still a lack of money and technology. Making games is a money-burning business! A true AAA game costs an unknown amount of money."
Even well-established listed game companies wouldn't dare take such a big risk; they have to be responsible for their stock price.
"Why would they choose to wade into the murky waters of domestic AAA games when they could be making stable, albeit risky, small games or sequels to established IPs?"
"Small game companies don't even dare to dream of making games. Where would they get the money? They have to think about how to survive first, which is more realistic."
After listening, Li Haoyu had an even higher opinion of Ma Dong.
He became even more determined to take this cute little chubby boy under his wing.
Li Haoyu looked up at the window and said.
"You can't just wait for your dreams to come true. You have to start doing many things first. The more you do, the more mistakes you make, the more you'll know where you're going. Only when you know where you're going can you have hope for the future."
"I also know that creating a domestically produced AAA game is very difficult, even almost impossible."
"But I want to get fired up for my dream!"
