"I think Russell is your strength, responsibility, perseverance, and courage to go against the tide even if there are thousands of people against you."
“Louis is your stubbornness, your confidence, and your fighting spirit of ‘my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven’.”
Mingyan blushed and said, "I didn't think that much about it. These two characters are images I've dreamed about."
“I’m very interested in your dream,” Ning Yufeng said. “If it’s alright, I’d like to ask you out this weekend.”
This statement doesn't seem to be very common, but Mingyan didn't think too much about it.
He thought for a moment and said sincerely, "I'm quite busy with work this week, maybe next time."
Ning Yufeng: "..."
He looked at Mingyan carefully for a long time.
It's finally confirmed: Mingyan was truly sincere, and only declined because of work-related issues!
This person had absolutely no other thoughts.
“Now I understand the young master of the Xia family a little better. No wonder you two have been good friends for three years,” Ning Yufeng said.
Mingyan said cheerfully, "Yes, we are very good friends."
Ning Yufeng smiled: "Yes, it's an enviable friendship."
After the meal, Mingyan felt that the atmosphere at the table was warm and comfortable.
Yes, Chairman Ning is such a good person!
Mingyan happily said goodbye to him and then rushed back to Blue Star Studio.
—Time to get back to work!
This month, Blue Star Studio was given a seven-day holiday because a major project finally came to an end and the follow-up results were very gratifying.
All staff members are allowed paid leave.
Even the designers who are based at League of Legends, and the people in charge of older games, only need to stay at home and wait for orders.
Unless something major goes wrong, this week is their carnival, the kind where they don't have to work and just collect bonuses!
Bluestar's bonus system has always been very attractive.
30% of the net profit will be distributed fairly to everyone on the production team based on performance.
Everyone gets a share, even interns.
A super successful game like Blue Star Apocalypse can bring the creators hundreds of thousands of yuan in bonuses every month.
At that moment, having received their first sum of money, all they wanted to do was worship Mingyan.
Long live the leader!
He explained that his main reason for returning to the studio at this time was to contact outsourcing companies.
It's about time Blue Star Studio moved...
The seventh and eighth floors of this building can easily accommodate a team of over a hundred people, but it's not enough space to fit large servers and workstations.
Today, every game on Earth has tens of billions of players.
In the control room where the servers are stacked, the total cost has already exceeded 100 million, not even including the monthly electricity bills and other bills for maintenance.
With the release of the card game and the doomsday of Earth, another wave of hot money will soon be flowing into Earth's accounts.
Mingyan calculated that he would first use the existing funds to buy a "Blue Star Building" in a slightly better commercial area.
He has already contacted several real estate agencies and has chosen three options.
The buildings are mostly around ten stories high. The top three floors are used as offices, the middle section is used for servers and workstations, and the third floor is used as a cafeteria.
The first floor houses Bluestar's service desk and store, while the second floor is specifically for players to visit and experience.
—Hey, when you do the math, the whole building is already packed.
The experience center might be a little late, as the custom-made VR luxury game pod is still at the interstellar transfer station.
Nowadays, major game developers typically have game experience stores all over the world.
When a new game hasn't been officially released yet, or when an expansion pack for an older game hasn't been implemented, you can try it out at their demo store.
This is very helpful in consolidating the player base and is also one of the early offline promotional channels for new games.
Of course, the construction of the Blue Star Building was not accomplished overnight.
Even with the fastest possible plan, the whole family can only move after the summer vacation.
But once this round of bidding is over, construction can begin immediately.
Therefore, it is stated that a new batch of servers and VR gaming pods has already been ordered.
After completing this major task, Blue Star still has over a billion yuan in its accounts.
Compared to other small studios, or even some local companies, Bluestar can be said to be rolling in money.
Mingyan calculated that if he wanted to buy a small otherworld, the summer vacation would be just around the corner.
—Blue Star Doomsday is now a money tree that brings in a fortune every day!
