Rebirth: I Carry A Desktop Computer Inside Me - #41 - Chapter 41 The Place Where Technological Dreams Set Sail

In any case, Jiang Cheng spent money to recruit a department manager of a small company. The salary was not high, but it was not low either.

After recruiting people, Jiang Cheng began to select the location for the office space.

After checking online, Jiang Cheng took the newly recruited Li Silin and took a taxi to Simao Building, where he rented an office space with an area of ​​only 200 square meters.

The rent is 3.9 yuan/square meter/day, and the monthly rent is about 23,000 yuan.

The design of these office buildings is relatively good, with basic workstations and 3 small offices separated, each only about 6-7 square meters.

“Let’s take this as the starting point of the company.” Looking at the small office space in front of him, Jiang Cheng was also a little happy.

This is the true sense of having your own company.

It’s no longer about working for someone else.

Li Silin nodded, “This place is pretty good. We are an Internet company and we don’t need a good location.”

Jiang Cheng pointed to the small cubicle by the window, “Leave that one to me. You can choose a cubicle yourself and recruit people in the next few days.”

“Okay, boss, we will do whatever you say.” Li Silin nodded and responded, “I just don’t know how many people we need to recruit? What are the requirements?”

“One front desk and customer service person, two programmers who are familiar with Java game design, junior college or above is enough, but more experience is required. The other one is an artist, and one game designer is enough.” Jiang Cheng knew what he was thinking, “Finance. , let’s recruit one first.”

As for the salary, Jiang Cheng explained it again and initially set a standard.

Jiang Cheng estimated that the salary of these people would be around 40,000 yuan per month.

Coupled with these operating costs, the monthly cost is at least nearly 70,000 yuan.

“Okay, I’ll write it down.” Li Silin took a small notebook and wrote it down.

“Currently, the company only has a game called Maple Fire Puzzle. I need people to recruit people to update version 2.0 based on this game.” Jiang Cheng reminded.

Li Silin nodded, “Okay, boss.”

Jiang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, “The studio my friends and I built is currently an affiliated company and is currently developing a new hit game. When you operate the puzzle game, pay attention to communicating with those publishers. It is estimated that 4 Announcement of the month.”

Li Silin’s eyes lit up, “Is there a new game?”

“Yes, the specific type will be kept secret for now.” Jiang Cheng was extremely confident, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little comfortable.

Li Silin looked around, “The company’s office space is now available, but it still needs to be listed and simply decorated, including the Internet, computers, flowers and plants. Do we need to purchase it?”

“Yes, you can draw up a list based on the personnel you need now and submit it to me. I will transfer the funds to you then.” Jiang Cheng nodded, “On average, each person will be equipped with computers, flowers and plants according to the standard of 12,000 yuan. The office conditions should be as good as possible, and each workstation should have two monitors.”

“Okay, I feel like I’m going to be exhausted these days.” Li Silin shrugged and sighed softly.

This was her first time encountering a company that was starting from scratch.

Jiang Cheng reminded, “You have to recruit a few people first and organize them together, otherwise you won’t be able to do it alone.”

“Okay, I’ll try my best to recruit people in the next few days, and the boss will interview them, right?” Li Silin looked up at Jiang Cheng.

Anticipating that school would officially start in three days, Jiang Cheng nodded, “I will try my best to come for an interview when I have time.”

“OK.” Li Silin was also capable. Then she looked at Jiang Cheng’s office, asked some requirements, made suggestions on some necessary things, and started working in a hurry.

Jiang Cheng stayed for a short while and then returned to Shuimu.

If there is any specific situation, Li Silin can contact and ask for instructions through Weixin or Qiankou.

On February 16, 2012, Jiang Cheng’s first company officially launched.

The first thing to change is the company name on the wall at the front desk of the office and the company name plate on the left side of the entrance.

Kyoto Maplefire Network Technology Co., Ltd.

The logo is an image of interconnection and network connection, and the image is like fire.

Jiang Cheng hand-painted it himself.

Today, Jiang Cheng’s sketches are quite impressive under Yu Xinran’s remote guidance.

The weight of strokes, the distinction of levels, the control of light and shade and color are more precise.

After all, with the existence of a computer in his body, what Jiang Cheng was thinking about could easily form a picture in his mind.

He just learned some techniques to describe what already existed in his mind.

Thinking about the decoration effect of the new company, Jiang Cheng drew it on the white paper with the tip of his pen.

Through the sketched green plants at the front desk, you can see the workstations in front.

The back of a programmer appears in the painting, writing code furiously.

On the table, there are potted plants, water cups, and figurines.

Further away, there is part of the workstation in the picture, as well as the window through which the faint light shines.

After the painting was completed, Jiang Cheng was somewhat satisfied and sent the picture to Yu Xinran.

Jiang Cheng: “Is my sketch ready for practice?/Proud.”

Yu Xinran: “Awesome, I feel like I don’t dare to teach you anything anymore. I will be surpassed in a few months, and then I will look at you from afar./Speechless”

Jiang Cheng: “That can’t be helped. Geniuses are so incomprehensible.” (Goldfinger: Are you polite?)

Yu Xinran: “I don’t know what to say, so I agree.”

Jiang Cheng: “I plan to learn some color painting next, so that the pictures I draw will be more realistic.”

Yu Xinran: “What else do you want to learn about painting? You can just print in color.”

Jiang Cheng: “Hey, some cameras can’t capture the things I drew.”

Yu Xinran: “That’s true. However, what is very important in painting is the understanding of color. You know, red, yellow, and blue are the three primary colors, and other colors can be matched by their combination.”

Jiang Cheng: “I know that. Then I’ll find some books to study.”

Yu Xinran: “Okay, wait until the day you hit me again.”

Jiang Cheng: “It’s okay, you’ll get used to it after being hit too many times.”

Yu Xinran: “/disgusted. By the way, what you drew is the company you run?”

Jiang Cheng: “Yes, I just rented an office in Simao Building today. It’s almost 200 square meters and the rent is 23,000 per month.”

Yu Xinran: “The rent is so expensive?”

Jiang Cheng: “There is no way, every inch of land in Kyoto is precious.”

Yu Xinran: “You are so awesome, I believe your company will be able to grow and develop./Come on!”

Jiang Cheng: “I accept your good advice. Come and have a look when you have time.”

Yu Xinran: “Okay, maybe I can apply for a job at your company when the time comes!”

Jiang Cheng: “Welcome.”

After closing the chat, Jiang Cheng continued to write code with a smile.

We must speed up and get the Subway Runner out earlier.

Jiang Cheng is not very impressed with the release date of God Escape, but he roughly remembers that it came out in 2012. This kind of game will be very popular in the next year or two.

Especially many people use fruit pads to play.

——————

By the time school started, Li Silin had already recruited three people.

There is a receptionist, a girl named Lin Xiaoxiao, who has graduated from high school and is someone who can find an easy job. Salary 3,500 yuan/month.

Mainly responsible for answering company calls and temporarily working part-time as customer service.

A programmer named Zuo Zhang was an employee of Li Silin’s previous company, and she pulled her over. The salary is 6,800 yuan/month, which is about 500 yuan higher than the previous company.

Jiang Cheng had specially interviewed him. He had a plaid shirt and loose hair. It was obvious from a glance that he had a lot of experience.

After Jiang Cheng’s questions and a small test, although he was not very good, he could handle it fairly well because of his design experience.

Of course, Jiang Cheng’s level surprised and admired him even more.

In addition, we have hired an art artist who is a prospective graduate from an ordinary art school. He is currently doing an internship. If he wants to stay, he will have to wait until he graduates.

The artist is a girl, with slender fingers, pretty good looks, average level, her name is Ding Caiyi.

Jiang Cheng looked at her painting and felt that her level was not bad.

Of course, for now, Jiang Cheng will not be able to recruit anyone better for a while.

Relax, everyone has their own choices.

After returning from the computer purchase, the newly recruited employees began to organize their workstations.

Jiang Cheng saw that school was about to start and he had no time, so he organized a meeting for them first.

“The purpose of today’s meeting is to update Maple Fire Puzzle version 2.0,” Jiang Cheng put the source code in a USB flash drive and introduced it through the newly purchased projector in the small conference room.

Zuo Zhang is a technical man and admires Jiang Cheng’s creativity and coding skills. He listened very carefully at this moment.

“…Then the algorithms of these parts can remain unchanged, but the updated version of the puzzle will have the ability for players to upload their own local pictures and choose how many pieces to randomly choose…”

“Artist Ding, I need to creatively design some patterns. I have initially summarized them into several categories. One is architecture and the other is landscape blockbusters. For landscapes, you can buy some copyrighted pictures. For architecture, you need to embody hand-painting and present landmarks with different characteristics.”

“Okay, boss.” Ding Caiyi was very obedient and agreed directly.

Jiang Cheng put down the laser pointer, “Of course, if you have any good ideas, you can also mention them in the group. I will take a look when I have time.”

Then, she said to Li Silin, “Director Li, you need to follow this project closely and try to release an updated version of Maple Fire Puzzle before the end of March.”

Li Silin rolled her eyes in her heart. When recruiting people, she called Manager Li, and when she was in charge of projects, she called Director Li.

However, he still responded, “Okay, boss, I’ll hire another programmer to speed up the update process.”

“Okay, that’s it. We advocate holding short meetings to discuss things. If there is nothing to do, we won’t call everyone to a meeting.” Jiang Cheng sat on the rostrum, looked at the few people in front of him, and handed the USB flash drive source code to Zuo Zhang. ,”Go ahead.”

Several people left one after another.

Li Silin stepped on her high heels and reported on her current financial situation.

Jiang Cheng became the owner of this company and transferred 300,000 yuan in advance. The rent currently costs 23,000 yuan. Staff wages have not been paid yet. Office decoration also cost more than 60,000 yuan.

Spending money is like running water.

Jiang Cheng felt a little emotional, he still had to make money quickly!

Only a steady stream of income can allow the company to grow and develop normally.

Sitting in his office, Jiang Cheng didn’t feel comfortable. On the contrary, he felt like he didn’t have time for himself.

Behind the big desk is a row of bookshelves, but there are currently no books.

On the left is the rest and reception area, making the small office look compact.

From the window, you can see the Zhongguan Village area in the distance.

This is where his technological dreams took off.
