Chapter 188 The First Minigame (Note: This Chapter Is Almost Entirely About Career, Optional, 5,000 Words)

Thursday morning.

Lin Wanwan changed into a very capable outfit and walked towards the school gate.

"Do you like Guoxue or Zhiyan?"

"I want both."

Lin Wanwan yawned as she walked, thinking back to what Ye Ge said yesterday.

If both of them like you, you should be grateful. You want to have them all, what is he thinking?

Lin Wanwan naturally knew that Ye Ge was joking and she didn't trick him.

But Lin Wanwan was thinking again.

What if Ye Ge's joke came true and he really wanted them all?

"Impossible, impossible." Lin Wanwan shook off her unrealistic idea.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible.

But then again, if I were Ye Ge, it would be really difficult for me to choose Zhiyan or Guoxue.

When Lin Wanwan arrived at the school gate, she saw her cousin.

"Sister Wanwan~~~~" Yuan Guoxue stood on tiptoe, raised her arms, and greeted Lin Wanwan enthusiastically after seeing her.

Yuan Guoxue was wearing an autumn sportswear today. Although she was covered up, she looked lovely and youthful with her good looks.

"Guoxue, you are here too. Where is Ye Ge?" Lin Wanwan asked.

"Humph!" Yuan Guoxue pouted, "Ye Ge usually comes on time."

Sure enough, three minutes later, it was exactly 7:30. Ye Ge came, eating a bun in one hand and holding soy milk in the other. There were a few buns and soy milk in the plastic bag on his wrist. He walked over slowly.

"You kid, do you let two beautiful girls wait like this?" Lin Wanwan walked up and punched Ye Ge on the shoulder.

"I'm not late either." Ye Ge ate a bun, "Have you had breakfast?"

"You are a little conscientious." Lin Wanwan took the bun and soy milk.

The three of them ate breakfast while heading to the headquarters of Station B.

There will be an interview for the comics department at the headquarters of Station B today.

It is not only an interview for the editor-in-charge of the comics department, but also an interview for the painter.

These days, Ye Ge has bought a lot of comics and animation copyrights from Qidian Chinese website. These comics will be popular in the future.

What B station has to do is to adapt them into comics and animations, which will definitely bring a lot of income to B station.

The current comics industry has not actually developed yet.

The "Mei Yaoqi" original comics platform was established in June 2009, less than four months from now, and it is also in the starting stage.

Penguin Comics was established in 2012.

Now the online comics platform can be said to be in a relatively blank stage.

If you want to recruit a comics editor, or an experienced comics editor, this is even more difficult.

So Ye Ge has only two requirements for comics editors-"senior two-thorn ape, read all comics", "fresh graduate", it's that simple.

The comics editor does not need to be able to draw comics, but the comics the comics editor has read must be more than the meals that ordinary people have eaten. Of course, this is a more exaggerated metaphor.

So as soon as the position of comic editor was released on Bilibili, hundreds of people signed up.

In their opinion, who doesn't like to read comics at work and get paid?

But the truth is not that simple.

"Reading thousands of comics" is the most basic requirement for Ye Ge to recruit comic editors.

But more importantly, comic editors need to communicate with cartoonists, have a certain grasp of the direction of the plot, have a certain sensitivity to the market, and learn to analyze the reasons why comics are popular and why they fail.

You need to learn to help cartoonists.

You may even need to poach people.

These tasks are complicated.

Hobbies and work are different.

To be honest, Ye Ge really has no idea whether he can recruit a suitable comic editor. More importantly, he can only recruit some plastic employees and train them himself.

So Ye Ge will choose fresh graduates.

Why do many companies like fresh graduates? Are fresh graduates' work abilities outstanding?

Not really.

Anyone who has experienced social experience is more professional than most graduates.

The main reason is that fresh graduates are like a blank sheet of paper. You can draw anything on it and fold it into a paper airplane. It is very malleable and can cultivate the people the company needs most, and the upper limit is high.

But if it is a social veteran, then it will be more troublesome.

Moreover, fresh graduates are the easiest to bribe. As long as you don't let them down, give them grass to eat, and even give them some meat from time to time, how much effort they put in, how much money you are willing to pay, then they will definitely work hard for you with full enthusiasm!

At that time, even if a headhunting company comes to dig, the "first love plot" of the "first company" is there, and the other party may not be able to dig it.

As for recruiting painters, Ye Ge's requirements are also very simple.

Whether they are graduates of a professional school or not.

I don't care.

As long as your drawing skills are good enough!

Now the main task of the painters in the comics department of Bilibili is to draw some comics that Bilibili has acquired the copyright for.

But this is only a short-term task.

Now, Ye Ge has acquired the comic copyrights of several major online literary IPs. Ye Ge wants his own artists to draw them because they are making too much money and he doesn't want to give a share of the profits.

If he acquires copyrights in the future, Ye Ge will outsource it to other comic studios.

For other comics, cartoonists submit their works and then sign contracts with Bilibili.

After that, the main task of Bilibili painters is to draw various illustrations.

With the development, the demand for various illustrations of Bilibili will be very large!

And next year, after the establishment of mhy, the requirements for illustrations will rise even more.

Today, Ye Ge does not expect to recruit all the comics department members, so he can only say that he will take his time.

After arriving at Bilibili headquarters, Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Although some of the illustrations on the background walls of Bilibili were drawn by Lin Wanwan.

But it was the first time for Lin Wanwan to visit Bilibili headquarters.

Lin Wanwan did not expect the layout of Bilibili headquarters to be so beautiful.

This is not just like a company, but more like a comic house.

Being able to work in such a company will make you feel better, at least it gives people a feeling of vigor and prosperity.

In the review area, some college students who did not have classes in the morning came to work.

Although they have computers, they can also log in to the background review of Bilibili in the dormitory.

But Ye Ge stipulated that those who come to the company's workstations for review will receive a subsidy of 3 yuan per hour.

At the six workstations of the website's technical department, Wang Miao and others have all arrived. They are eating breakfast while typing on the keyboard.

These days, Wang Miao and others are still under a lot of pressure, mainly because the traffic of Bilibili is increasing.

The workstations of the marketing department are also full of people. Most of them are printing documents, making phone calls, and communicating with advertisers.

Now, the composition of Bilibili has undergone a round of adjustments. There are mainly several departments, and the composition is as follows-

Technical department: Wang Miao and his team are currently recruiting programmers, because Wang Miao's team will be very useful when mhy is established next year, and Bilibili maintenance needs other people to do it.

Audit department: All are part-time college students, mainly freshmen to juniors, and a small number of senior interns.

Marketing department: All are seniors of the School of Economics and Management of Yuhang University, almost full-time, after all, there are not many classes in the senior year, and they all have internships, and there is only one paper.

HR Department: A senior intern, a backbone of the HR Department of the Yuhang University Student Union, will serve as the acting director. When the person sent by Tang Zhiyan arrives, that person will serve as the director of the HR Department in addition to the general operation.

There is no financial department at present, and it is mainly Ye Ge and Yuan Guoxue who are responsible for it. Later, Ye Ge plans to ask Tang Zhiyan for a few financial personnel.

After a while, Ye Ge also plans to set up a group for each channel of Station B to be responsible for the affairs of its own channel.

Finally, it is the comics department that Ye Ge is going to deal with today.

From this point of view, there are actually few veterans in the entire company, all of them are novices.

If it were put in more than ten years later, this would be difficult.

Because the competition was too fierce at that time, a newly established company might make a few mistakes and be on the verge of bankruptcy.

But it is different now. Station B has just started, the market is almost blank, Station B has almost no competitors, and after Tang Zhiyan injected funds, the cash flow is sufficient.

In addition, Ye Ge knows that the wind direction is steering the helm, and Station B is still very tolerant.

After Ye Ge greeted them, he took Lin Wanwan and Yuan Guoxue to the "webmaster" office.

Looking at this office, Lin Wanwan felt that Ye Ge had taken her to the wrong place.

The webmaster's office of Station B is actually equivalent to the president's office.

But why are there snack racks, induction cookers, Pokémon pillows and game consoles in the president's office of Station B?

"Sister Wanwan, please sit down."

Yuan Guoxue greeted, then opened a hidden wardrobe and took out a women's suit from it.

Then, Lin Wanwan watched Yuan Guoxue open the cabinet on the other side, and there was a small room inside, and there was even a bed!

Lin Wanwan was confused

My God, you two are alone in the same room, with all kinds of clothes in the cabinet, and there is a hidden small room, and there is also a bed in the room. What are you trying to do?

But Lin Wanwan found that she seemed to have thought wrong.

Ye Ge calmly returned to his seat and turned on the computer.

After Yuan Guoxue came out, she skillfully boiled water for Lin Wanwan to make tea, and then sorted out the documents on another small desk next to Ye Ge.

Yuan Guoxue handed Ye Ge yesterday's website data and some advertising arrangements, and asked Ye Ge to make a decision.

After Ye Ge made a decision, Yuan Guoxue walked out of the office again and went to various departments to coordinate.

Then Yuan Guoxue came in again to report the situation.

Sitting on the sofa, Lin Wanwan was shocked to see the communication between Ye Ge and Yuan Guoxue.

Although Yuan Guoxue was sometimes hit on the head by Ye Ge, Yuan Guoxue would glare at Ye Ge angrily.

But they get along very well and have a tacit understanding.

Even Ye Ge said "give me that."

Yuan Guoxue knew what "that" was.

Lin Wanwan felt that it would not be long before Ye Ge gave her a look, and Yuan Guoxue knew what it meant.

And her silly and cute cousin actually had a sense of competence.

Lin Wanwan didn't know what happened, as if her cousin had grown up a lot in just one month.

"Ye Ge, these are the resumes submitted by today's interviewees. Most of them are waiting outside."

At nine o'clock, Yuan Guoxue came in, printed out a stack of resumes, and placed them next to Ye Ge.

"Okay." Ye Ge nodded, and then said to Lin Wanwan who was still sitting on the sofa eating potato chips, "Director of the Comics Department, stop eating and come over for the interview."

"Ah? Me? Director of the Comics Department?" Lin Wanwan pointed at herself in disbelief. When did she become the director of the Comics Department?

"What else? Come over quickly, the first person is coming." Ye Ge urged.

"Oh oh oh"

Although Lin Wanwan didn't know how she became the director of the Comics Department.

But Lin Wanwan felt that this title was not bad, she was the director~

Lin Wanwan suddenly became serious.

As the director of a department, she was about to select younger brothers and sisters, so she had to be serious.

There were a total of 20 people interviewing the comics editor today, and the first interviewee was a boy.

He was a little fat, looked honest, and was a senior student from Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology.

Ye Ge mainly assessed three aspects of the comics editor interview.

The first was the amount of comics read.

Ye Ge would randomly select some character pictures from the current Chinese and Japanese comics and ask him to identify which comics they were.

The second is the understanding of comics.

Ye Ge would ask him to analyze a comic he had read, and ask him to tell the highlights, shortcomings and reasons for success of this comic to predict the future direction.

The third is to ask some daily interpersonal communication questions.

For example, if the cartoonist has no inspiration, what will you do?

If the cartoonist you are responsible for has a seizure, and it is obviously pure love, but he insists on drawing a minotaur, what will you do?

After asking questions like these.

There are a total of 20 people interviewing for the comic editor, and Ye Ge selected five to enter the next round of interviews.

There will be four more interviews after that, and some people will be selected in each interview.

Finally, the candidates will be determined in the second interview.

Ye Ge will hire about seven people in the end.

There are a total of 15 people interviewing for the position of painter.

There are not so many questions for painters.

Let the other party bring out their most proud works directly, and then Ye Ge, Yuan Guoxue and Lin Wanwan will comment on them.

Finally, each of them has 20 minutes to draw, and then Ye Ge and the other two will comment again.

At lunch, Ye Ge ordered lunch boxes for all the interviewees who stayed.

Finally, in the afternoon, three painters met the requirements.

One was a senior girl from the Fine Arts Department of Yuhang Media College. She had a solid foundation and was hired.

The second one was also a girl.

She graduated from Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts and worked as a painter in a company for a year. But because she wanted to go home, she came to Hangzhou. Needless to say, her foundation is good.

The third one was hired was a boy.

This guy was a wild artist.

But Ye Ge felt that his paintings were very powerful.

Especially when he painted married women, Ye Ge felt that he could go into the adult entertainment industry.

This guy was also hired.

There will be interviews later until 20 painters are hired.

Ye Ge finished the interview at 5 pm, which was also the time to get off work.

Lin Wanwan was so tired that she felt dizzy.

Lin Wanwan thought that this recruitment would be very simple and easy, but she found that recruitment was a very mentally exhausting thing.

Yuan Guoxue was okay, because Yuan Guoxue had followed Ye Ge in recruitment many times and was gradually used to it.

Lin Wanwan looked at her cousin's natural look, and even had the energy to sort out the interviewer's information. She really admired her cousin.

At the same time, Lin Wanwan was also very curious.

What methods did Ye Ge use to train her cousin to be like this?

It was incredible.

Ye Ge was also a little tired, but Ye Ge had an important thing to do today.

"Ye Ge, let's go to dinner?"

Yuan Guoxue changed clothes again and put on the autumn sportswear at the beginning.

"You go first, I still have some things to deal with." Ye Ge rubbed his eyes.

"Then I'll stay too." Yuan Guoxue said.

"No need." Ye Ge tapped Yuan Guoxue's head gently, "Next I have to discuss something with the technical department. There is no point in you staying, and who knows what time it will be. You sisters are tired all day, go to dinner, there is an interview tomorrow."

"Okay." Yuan Guoxue nodded, without forcing, and left with her cousin to eat together.

"Technical department, meeting is about to start~"

After Yuan Guoxue and Lin Wanwan left, Ye Ge convened a meeting of the technical department of Bilibili.

Everyone was going to leave, but after hearing what the boss said, they had no choice but to stay.

But no one complained, not only because the company is now thriving, everyone is full of energy, the boss also pays bonuses diligently, and overtime is doubled.

"Senior, what's wrong?" So far, Wang Miao still calls Ye Ge senior, mainly because Wang Miao feels that calling a peer a boss is a bit awkward.

"Nothing, we are just going to start making our first game, and I want to tell you about my idea." Ye Ge said with a smile.

When they heard that they were going to make a game, everyone got excited all of a sudden!

Aren't all these people here for the goal of making games? For them, if it weren't for this goal, if it was just website operation and maintenance, they wouldn't be here.

"Senior, are we going to start making those two games now?"

Wang Miao was not so happy, because at present, the funds for making those two large games were not enough, and the experience of his team was not enough.

"No, I plan to start with a few small games." Ye Ge shook his head.

Wang Miao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He first made some small games to accumulate experience and funds and practice. This was Wang Miao's reassurance: "Then senior, what kind of small games should we make?"

"I have a plan, let me show you." Ye Ge handed the USB flash drive to Wang Miao, "I named it - Fennu Bird."

In this life, I don't know why, I don't know if it was because of the butterfly effect or the world line change.

The parent company of Angry Birds actually disintegrated two years ago, and the various backbone members in it went their separate ways and went to other large companies.

Just in case, Ye Ge asked Tang Zhiyan to investigate, and there was indeed no news about "Fennu Bird".

So this game can be made.

And the popularity of this game will sweep the world!
