250: National style 3A

Everyone looked at Qian Ziyong with shock.

Five hundred million, and you only want it for your employees to gain experience?

Oh my goodness.

Qian Ziyong said as a matter of course, "Cultivating high-caliber talent naturally requires a little money!"

"If they don't have experience, they naturally need to gain experience!"

"Didn't the ancients say? Failure is the father of success!"

"While I want to defeat Qibite Game Company, I also know some common sense."

"Go ahead and do it, failure is normal, success is abnormal."

"You need to have a good mindset; I have already accepted failure, and you should too!"

Everyone's mood indeed relaxed a lot.

After all, none of them had ever made a 3A game, and suddenly being given five hundred million in funding put a lot of pressure on them.

With so much money, if it was all lost without any results, they would have no face to meet the boss except to commit suicide to atone for their failure.

The boss was so lenient with them, giving no pressure, and even anticipating their failure, already prepared for it.

This undoubtedly lightened their pressure significantly.

Qian Ziyong continued, "I want this game to be finished within five months!"

"It must be in a Chinese style, entirely Chinese themed, with no foreign elements whatsoever!"

Everyone was stunned.

Bi Chengwang said, "Boss, that won't work!"

"We don't have any experience; the learning process is imitation. We don't plagiarize, we only draw inspiration."

"But if it's entirely Chinese style, then we can't even draw inspiration!"

"Then the probability of this game failing will increase significantly…"

Everyone also tried to persuade Qian Ziyong.

They weren't plagiarizing, just drawing inspiration.

As the saying goes, standing on the shoulders of giants makes you taller than the giants.

Qian Ziyong waved his hand and said, "No! I want it to be purely Chinese style!"

"If we draw inspiration from foreign games, even if we win in the end, it would be an unfair victory!"

"Others started from scratch and got to where they are today step by step. If they can do it, so can we!"

"Most importantly, I have always believed that our Chinese things are no worse than foreign things!"

"What foreign countries have, we also have. What foreign countries don't have, we still have!"

"Bi Chengwang, just tell me, what unique Chinese things do we have?"

Bi Chengwang thought for a moment and tentatively said, "journey to the west?"

journey to the west is definitely a big IP; many domestic games use journey to the west in their games.

And Qian Ziyong needed a completely national style, unable to draw inspiration from any foreign games.

Then journey to the west was just perfect!

Qian Ziyong immediately decided, "Then journey to the west it is!"

"The theme has been decided: journey to the west. The game type has also been decided: single-player, action, role-playing!"

"There's nothing more to say, let's do it!"

Was it decided just like that?

A five hundred million project, decided in five minutes?

Isn't that a bit too hasty?

Seeing Qian Ziyong's firm gaze, everyone's resolve also firmed up!

If the boss isn't afraid of losing money, what do they have to be afraid of?

Qian Ziyong said with a smile, "We'll invest five hundred million in this project first, and at least a billion in our next project!"

"We have only one goal: to crush Qibite Game Company!"

"And we must defeat them honorably, to become the world's number one game company!"

"To convince people, and to be rightfully in our position, we will only make games in our Chinese style."

"Come on!"

Bi Chengwang asked, "What will the game be called?"

Qian Ziyong thought for a moment and said, "It will be called Hey! Mythical Wukong."

"Good name!"

"This name is truly great!"

"Hey, take this, my grandson's staff! We'll definitely show that Qibite Game Company what we're capable of!"

Everyone was discussing animatedly.

Qian Ziyong said, "Everyone, work hard. If you need anything, just tell Zhao Caiyi, and he will relay it to me!"

Qian Ziyong bowed to everyone, "The upcoming loss of money… I'm entrusting the game development to you!"

Everyone quickly bowed back, "It's our duty, our duty!"

Qian Ziyong waved his hand and left the game company.

Seeing Qian Ziyong leave, everyone remained in the office.

"Everyone, let's discuss what we should do?" Ju Yewei said.

Now that the task had been assigned, they were all eager to start.

But before starting the task, they had to divide the work.

Bi Chengwang was the first to speak, "I think we should brainstorm and try to bring out everyone's inspiration as much as possible!"

Everyone agreed with Bi Chengwang.

Just then, Ju Yewei suddenly looked at Zhao Caiyi on the side and said, "President Zhao, we are about to discuss work matters."

"We might not have time to look after the pets. Could you please help us check if the pets are all right?"

"Have they been fighting?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Caiyi, as the company's general manager, quickly got up, "I'll go check."

"Thank you for your trouble!"

"Thank you!"

Everyone was thanking Zhao Caiyi.

After Zhao Caiyi left, Ju Yewei whispered, "Besides that, I think we should work overtime."

As soon as they heard 'overtime,' everyone looked outside like thieves.

Not seeing Qian Ziyong or Zhao Caiyi, they lowered their voices and discussed.

Bi Chengwang said, "Time is tight, and the task is heavy. Indeed, only by working overtime can we complete it!"

"It's just that the company turns off the lights on time; we don't even have an eight-hour workday."

"Plus, they force us to rest on Saturdays and Sundays…"

On Saturdays and Sundays, the 18th floor of the company also turned off its lights.

They could stay on the 17th and 16th floors.

But those two floors had no workstations.

The few remaining computers were not allowed for work, only for playing games.

Ju Yewei decisively said, "Since the company doesn't allow overtime, then we'll work overtime at home!"

"A five hundred million project, even if the boss is prepared for us to lose money, can you comfortably lose it?"

"Can you comfortably use five hundred million to gain experience?"

"I certainly can't!"

Everyone shook their heads.

Five hundred million!

Piled cash would probably be taller than a person.

They had to spend five hundred million in five months, burning one hundred million a month!

It was truly extravagant!

The boss told them to use so much money to gain experience, but they couldn't actually do that!

They had to achieve something!

Overtime was a must!

Ju Yewei said with a smile, "Don't think that overtime is hard or tiring. How many people want to work hard and suffer a little but don't even get the chance!"

"In China, how many game companies would invest so much money in a game to let their employees train themselves well?"

"Besides our Maha Game Company, there isn't a single one!"

"Many people secretly work hard their entire lives, just wanting to stand on a stage!"

"But they don't get the chance!"

"And now, President Qian has given us this opportunity, an opportunity to stand on the world's big stage!"

"Missing it means missing it for a lifetime!"

“It’s highly unlikely there will be such an opportunity in the next life!”
