Chapter 15 Reverse Bargaining
"Boss, add another portion of meat to the ramen, add another fried egg to the fried rice! Give me a side dish and just take a cucumber!"
Pei Qian spared no expense to reward Ma Yang.
Ma Yang happily ate the ramen with sufficient meat: "Yes, Qian'er, you don't pretend now, the rich second-generation style has begun to show, right? But... the money is enough to order two side dishes at the restaurant next to you..."
Pei Qian waved his hand: "Hey, no, no, although the restaurant next to him is not expensive, he can't eat enough."
"To be honest, I should have had something better to celebrate the start of construction. But I have to keep all my money for making games now, and I'm relatively nervous."
In fact, the personal assets converted are too few, only 700 yuan, so I can’t bear to spend it all.
Ma Yang nodded while eating ramen: "Understand, understand! This is what it should be. It is still a stage of hard work, and you can't waste money."
Pei Qian said: "When this game is made, I will take you to a barbecue buffet that costs 50 yuan per person!"
Ma Yang nodded suddenly: "Okay, okay!"
At this time, the buffets were generally at a price of more than 30 yuan. Pei Qian had to go to a buffet worth 50 yuan, which was already quite high-end.
Of course, the buffet ten years later has to be 100 or 200 per person, which is incomparable.
What Pei Qian thought was that if all the 300,000 yuan could be lost and converted into personal assets, what good things would you like to eat?
"By the way, there is also a contract matter." Pei Qian ate fried rice with eggs, "I'll go back and go to the next template. Let's sign an internship contract directly, and the salary will be settled in 3,000 months."
Ma Yang hurriedly said, "Qian'er, you're so polite. Whether or not money is really not important, and the contract is not necessary, right?"
Pei Qian shook his head: "That won't work. If you contribute your efforts, you can't take a penny. We are serious and we have to go through regular procedures. The contract must be included."
"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements." Ma Yang didn't insist anymore. Who doesn't want to give the money?
I just think 3000 is a bit too much, so I feel very embarrassed.
In fact, Pei Qian wanted to give more, but the system does not allow it!
The system stipulates that Pei Qian cannot hire employees at a salary that is obviously beyond the reasonable level. After testing, Pei Qian determined this "reasonable level", which is probably twice the reasonable salary.
Take Ma Yang for example.
He is now working in a serious game company for chores, and according to the current basic salary of interns, it is only 1,500.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some companies are more generous, interns work more and their salaries are high.
But we must also consider Ma Yang's working ability, at most it is a burden to the company...
Therefore, Pei Qian gave him a one-month internship salary of 3,000, which is already the highest salary allowed by the system.
While eating ramen, Ma Yang suddenly slapped his thigh.
"Hey! Qian'er, I suddenly thought of a good idea! You said, how about we make all the generals of the Three Kingdoms women? Is this subversive enough?"
Pei Qian almost spit out a bite of fried rice.
"no!"
Pei Qian flatly refused.
Ma Yang was a little confused: "Why can't it work? Didn't you say you want to subvert?"
Pei Qian was speechless.
Why not?
Of course it is because this is really possible...
In fact, the idea of changing the nature of the generals of the Three Kingdoms has long been tried in animation works, and it has been quite successful.
Although this is 2009, the 2D game is not that popular yet, at least there is a trend. Many card mobile games deliberately make Q versions, which objectively caters to this trend.
What if this game is loved by the zombies because of this, what if it becomes popular?!
Pei Qian absolutely does not allow such things to happen.
Of course, this is Pei Qian’s true thought and cannot be told to Ma Yang.
He coughed twice and explained: "This idea is not good, it is equivalent to making the characters lose their characteristics!"
"For example, Ma Chao is also a woman, Zhao Yun is also a woman, Gongsun Zan is also a woman... They all become women, and their characteristics are not obvious."
"Your plan is very good now. Ma Chao is a centaur and Guan Yu is a one-stop, so this recognition is very high!"
"So I think your current plan is better."
Ma Yang suddenly realized and nodded: "Oh, so that's how it is, I understand."
Pei Qian let out a long sigh, and it seems that recruiting employees may not be a good thing.
Although you can pay a little more salary, Pei Qian's decision may also cause confusion and doubts among employees. At this time, Pei Qian has to give a reasonable explanation.
Otherwise, if employees really suspect that Pei Qian is deliberately creating the company's losses and then doubting it, this is also a explicit prohibition on the system.
"Fortunately, Ma Yang is not very smart."
"If you recruit people in the future, you have to recruit more people who are not very good at using them."
Pei Qian said silently in his heart.
...
After dinner, I walked back to the dormitory.
Ma Yang continued to climb to the upper bunk with enthusiasm, open his brains and fill out the art demand form.
Pei Qian turned on the computer and entered the resource station, and found that there had been a reply to the previous message.
Ruan Guangjian: "How many pieces do you want? What are the specific requirements?"
Pei Qian briefly mentioned his needs, including the number of cards, the general style, etc.
Of course, the specific demand table has not been released yet, so Pei Qian can only briefly describe it verbally.
"Art style, don't have Q version, others are casual."
"There are 50 characters in total, and each character has four original paintings, a total of 200."
"The demand table is still being made, I'll give it to you later."
Three minutes later, but no reply was made.
It is estimated that Ruan Guangjian was also confused.
My representative works are all Q versions, but the first sentence you said to me was "Don't have Q version"???
After a while, Ruan Guangjian replied.
"Yes. The price is 2,000 per set, OK? I know that this price may be a little more expensive than a new artist, but don't worry, my strength is definitely top-notch, but I'm still in school and I don't have any good representative works."
One set is 2,000? Wouldn’t one set be only 500?!
Pei Qian was not happy at the time, the price was too low!
Then I can’t spend all the money?!
The original psychological price was 3,000 per set, but now it has shrunk to 2,000 per set.
There are 50 characters in total, spending 50,000 yuan less?
No, absolutely not!
"I think the price is inappropriate." Pei Qian replied.
Ruan Guangjian: "Then how much do you think is appropriate? This is almost my bottom line."
Pei Qian: "The situation here is a bit special."
"Because this time we are going to do the style that others have never done before, that is a very subversive image, so the difficulty is relatively high, do you understand?"
"Also, our designs don't know much about art, and the demands given are relatively vague."
"So, you need to use your brain and design it."
"Considering the extra workload in this regard, it is too unfair to you for a set of 2,000 yuan. I think it is more appropriate to have a set of 3,000 yuan!"
"This includes the image design of the original painting and subsequent modifications. I also hope that you can draw more refinedly. How about it?"
Ruan Guangjian fell silent again.
Obviously, it seems that customers like Pei Qian who bargain in reverse seem to be rare...
A set of original paintings adds an extra 1,000 yuan!
However, Pei Qian's behavior was not illegal and the system did not give a warning.
Because Pei Qian's reasons are reasonable, the extra money includes the additional design costs incurred due to unclear needs, the cost of improving the quality of the original painting, and subsequent modification costs.
Ruan Guangjian replied a few minutes later: "Yes, there are 50 sets, 200 original paintings, 150,000 yuan, and there are 20 major renovations and 50 minor modifications."
Pei Qian smiled slightly.
I can indeed spend money to buy the number of modifications, but I can also choose not to use it!
Anyway, it would be better to draw it out of the way.
The two immediately made a decision and prepared to sign an electronic agreement on the resource station.
Pei Qian thought of something: "How many original paintings can you produce in three weeks? I'll change the specific number in the agreement."
The system stipulates that Pei Qian must not have unreleased products on his hands the week before settlement.
Therefore, Pei Qian's game has to be released on the shelves a week before settlement, and there are only three weeks left for Ruan Guangjian.
Ruan Guangjian: "It's definitely not possible to get out of 200 photos. However, I can share these tasks with classmates in the same dormitory. Don't worry, with my supervision, the quality of their original paintings is also guaranteed, and I can help you unify your style."
Pei Qian was very happy: "Yes! Then I will leave it all to you!"
Ruan Guangjian is still in school. He can meet the original painting level required by the resource station, but his classmates may not be able to achieve it!
This can be considered a small opportunity to spend money, and objectively reduce the quality of the original painting.
Delightful!
