Chapter 38 What a Gathering of Talents!

“Not bad. Do you want to take a look at their resumes?” Pei Qian casually tossed a stack of resumes on the coffee table and handed them to Ma Yang.

“I… can I look at them?” Ma Yang asked, surprised.

“No problem, feel free to browse,” Pei Qian said.

Pei Qian wanted Ma Yang to look at these employees' resumes in the hopes of training him to share some of the workload in the future.

On the one hand, Ma Yang was the person Pei Qian trusted most.

On the other hand, with Ma Yang helping Pei Qian share the workload, the company would probably fail even faster!

Ma Yang flipped through the profiles of the twenty-odd people from beginning to end.

He looked a little puzzled and looked through them again from the beginning.

It was normal to be puzzled.

It would be abnormal not to be puzzled.

The people Pei Qian had recruited were all pure slackers. No matter how much their resumes were embellished, how much could they be embellished?

Take Huang SiBo, for example.

He had been in the industry for half a year and had been working as an executive planner in his original company. In layman's terms, he was just tracking progress, matching and modifying tables, and uploading files. He didn't even have the opportunity to write his own design drafts.

He could only take the design drafts written by other senior designers to execute, make them in the editor, and if he encountered problems, he couldn't modify them himself, but had to ask the original author of the design draft.

Ma Yang flipped through all the information and found that none of the employees had ever been a lead designer. They were all just doing odd jobs.

How could he not be puzzled?

“Brother Qian, is it hard to recruit a lead designer? Why don't we add some money? Or find a headhunter to help us poach one?” Ma Yang asked, his face full of confusion.

He could see that the people recruited now could barely be assistants. If they were looking for someone to be responsible for the core design of the game, they really couldn't find anyone.

So he thought there was something wrong with the lead designer recruitment process. Was it because the pay was too low, so they couldn't recruit anyone?

Pei Qian shook his head violently: “No, lead designers came to apply, but I rejected them all.”

Ma Yang was bewildered: “Why?”

“No, they don’t meet our needs at all!”

Pei Qian stood up and walked around the reception room a little, which made him look particularly imposing.

“First of all, these lead designers generally have a serious problem, which is that their thinking is rigid!”

“Their brains are bound by old-fashioned rules and regulations, and they can't embrace new ideas.”

“Games are an industry that requires inspiration. If the lead designer’s inspiration is locked, how can our game be good?”

“Secondly, these lead designers ask for a high price, and the cost performance is too poor!”

“Now a lead designer’s monthly salary is almost 8,000, which is two or three times that of an ordinary employee, which is a burden on our finances.”

“Of course, the main thing is that the cost performance is too low.”

“The last point, and the most important point, is that their enthusiasm for games has basically been worn away!”

“Young people are full of enthusiasm and are fighting for their dreams. But these lead designers are all in their thirties, and their minds are full of daily necessities. Many people can’t even get a full achievement account in *Fantasy World*.”

“Tell me, is their passion for games seriously insufficient!”

Ma Yang was a little confused.

“It seems so, these people do have big problems.”

“But… without them, who will take the lead in designing the game project…”

Ma Yang still vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Pei Qian patted his chest: “Me.”

“Uh…” Ma Yang hesitated, “Brother Qian, of course I believe in your ability, but you are the boss. I think you might need a lead designer to assist you, otherwise the promotion… will it be a bit difficult?”

Pei Qian shook his head.

Find a lead designer to assist me?

Wouldn’t he see that there was a problem with my design plan at a glance?

Absolutely not.

Pei Qian’s expression was serious: “We already have someone to assist, that Huang SiBo is not bad.”

“Huang SiBo?”

Ma Yang vaguely felt that he had seen this name just now.

But he really didn’t have any impression.

After all, more than twenty profiles were all slackers, and it was really not easy to remember a specific slacker.

He flipped through it and quickly found Huang SiBo’s profile.

“Half a year in the industry, always doing executive planning. Can he do it?”

Pei Qian said sternly: “He is actually a buried talent. Don’t always look at his position, you have to look at what he has done.”

“His original lead designer desperately exploited him. Most of the systems in the original game were made by him in the cloud editor.”

“He has also configured seven or eight percent of the data tables in the game.”

“This is not an executive planner, this is clearly the lead designer’s executive assistant!”

“He took the lead designer’s plan and made it in the editor, often working overtime and working ten hours a day.”

“Think about it, normal people work 8 hours a day, and he sometimes works overtime for 16 hours.”

“Half a year of work experience is equivalent to a year for ordinary people!”

“What’s even more commendable is that he still has a passion for games!”

“This passion is the driving force that drives him to constantly work hard, improve, and innovate!”

“You can trust my ideas, and it’s no problem for him to be responsible for turning the ideas into reality.”

Ma Yang suddenly understood: “Well… then he is really a talent! Should he be paid according to the salary standard of a lead designer? It’s only 4,000 per month now, is it too low?”

Pei Qian almost choked: “Yes, I think so too. But don’t rush, we'll adjust his salary when he performs well.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to pay more, it was mainly that the system didn’t allow it.

Ma Yang nodded: “Yes, that’s right, you are the boss, you have to control costs and save money for the company.”

Pei Qian almost couldn’t hold back, so he quickly continued.

“Moreover, the people you see here all have unique skills and expertise. They are all talents buried by other game companies!”

“There are even many talents who have not been able to enter the game industry, such as this Bao Xu.”

“He is an out-and-out game master.”

“In *Fantasy World*, others are all masters of all classes, but he is not. He is a master of all classes of all races! He has six full achievement accounts alone!”

“As long as there are gameplay systems in the game, he can play them all smoothly. As for leading a team to get the first kill, it’s even more commonplace, as simple as eating and drinking.”

“Not only that, he is involved in a wide range of games, and even *Crazy Kart* is his forte!”

“So, the position I arranged for this Bao Xu is a game experience officer, to experience other games and also experience our own games!”

“When we want to make any kind of game, he can provide us with sufficient suggestions and directions. The analysis of competing games is even easier!”

“The most important thing is that I think we can explore his management talents. Think about it, it’s not easy to get the first kill in a forty-person team instance!”

“He can manage forty people, let alone our thirty employees.”

“It is absolutely foolproof to let him be responsible for the project progress!”
