Chapter 248: Fang Chang’s Plan

At Cangxue Games,

In the employee studio,

All the staff gathered together, their faces brimming with smiles. Following the project bonuses, they received their salaries yesterday. Of course, just receiving their salaries wouldn’t make them this excited.

The key was that the salary also included the year-end bonus and a thirteenth-month salary, which together amounted to tens of thousands.

How could they not be overjoyed?

Soon,

Fang Chang, Wei Yan, and Zhao Bowen walked in from outside.

“Is everyone here?”

Fang Chang asked the person in charge.

“Manager Fang, all employees are present.”

The person in charge quickly replied.

Fang Chang nodded upon hearing this, glanced at the many employees in the studio, and clapped his hands.

“Everyone, quiet down, I have an announcement to make.”

“You should have all received the news about tomorrow’s day off. However, since we’re a gaming company, there’s always a chance that a game might have a bug that needs maintenance during the holiday. So even though it’s a holiday, some people need to stay at the company in case of emergencies.”

“Those who stay will receive triple pay, and they will be prioritized for team leader positions in the future.”

“That’s all. If anyone wants to volunteer to stay, you can sign up with Zhao Bowen.”

After speaking, Fang Chang and Wei Yan returned to the office.

“Even though the company is on holiday, a leader still needs to be on site. If you both have plans, I’ll handle it.”

Inside the office,

Fang Chang turned to Wei Yan and Zhao Bowen.

Currently, in Cangxue Games, they were the only ones with positions above supervisor.

“Brother Fang, I don’t have any plans, so I’ll stay with you.”

Zhao Bowen immediately expressed his willingness.

Wei Yan also smiled slightly.

“I’ll stay too. I just started in the gaming industry, so it’s better to stay and learn more.”

“Great, let’s work hard together. President Chen is planning to invest in a second game project. I’ll use this time to prepare and aim to create a hit game.”

Fang Chang wasn’t surprised that both of them wanted to stay.

Zhao Bowen, having been a colleague before, naturally chose to stay due to their good relationship.

As for Wei Yan, he was highly valued by President Chen, so it was expected that he would stay at the company.

“A new project, huh? You two are the experts, so I’ll leave it to you. I’ll just assist where needed.”

Wei Yan smiled at Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen.

He knew his own capabilities. Planning a new game on his own was out of the question.

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

“I have two projects that were prepared earlier. We could give them a try.”

Fang Chang said, retrieving two prepared project proposals from his desk.

These two proposals were among the three he had initially submitted to President Chen. He had refined them by incorporating the strengths of [Tianlong] and [Extreme Survival].

He was very confident in these projects.

Even if they didn’t become as wildly popular as [Extreme Survival], they could at least match the success of [Tianlong].

Wei Yan looked at the proposals Fang Chang handed over and opened them.

Having studied at Cangxue Games for a while, he could understand project proposals.

The first proposal was for a 3D martial arts online game, featuring various sects, each with its own martial arts. Unlike most current online games, this one integrated traditional cultural elements like music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and tea art.

In his view, it seemed intriguing and would definitely attract players who longed for martial arts adventures.

The second proposal was for a 2D fighting game, somewhat reminiscent of the arcade games he used to play. However, this game proposal made arcade games more diverse.

It included numerous dungeons where players could defeat bosses to earn equipment.

Interestingly, it featured many unique professions such as swordsman, gunner, magician, and summoner.

Each profession had different skill combinations and combos, making it look quite engaging.

If it were developed, he would want to play it himself.

“What do you think of these two proposals?”

After Wei Yan and Zhao Bowen finished reading, Fang Chang asked.

“I think they’re great.”

Wei Yan nodded.

“Brother Fang, I really want to know how your mind works, coming up with so many ideas.”

Zhao Bowen couldn’t help but admire him. After planning the hit [Extreme Survival], he still had so many good ideas. It was truly enviable.

“So which new project should we choose?”

Fang Chang looked conflicted, as he was optimistic about both proposals and found it difficult to decide.

“I think we should go with the fighting game proposal. We already have [Tianlong], an online game. Choosing another martial arts online game might split [Tianlong]’s audience.”

Wei Yan suggested.

“Brother Yan makes a good point.”

Zhao Bowen nodded in agreement.

Although the martial arts online game had many innovative elements, its overall mode and framework were somewhat similar to [Tianlong].

With [Tianlong] currently popular, releasing a similar online game wouldn’t be appropriate.

“Then let’s go with the fighting game proposal.”

“When President Chen forms a new development team, we’ll present this proposal to him.”

Listening to their suggestions, Fang Chang made his decision.

Meanwhile,

At the Clothing Factory,

Chen Mo had just hung up the phone with Song Xia when Pang Tao called.

“President Chen, we’re still constructing Pet Park. We shouldn’t take a break, or it will delay the schedule.”

Listening to Pang Tao,

Chen Mo thought carefully. Whether Pet Park took a break or not didn’t matter much, and completing it sooner would allow them to hire more employees to spend System Funds.

“Alright, you can decide over there. By the way, we can add another five million to the investment.”

It had been two months since the last investment increase, and the system now allowed for a second one. Such a good opportunity to spend money couldn’t be missed.

Through testing, he roughly figured out the pattern: an investment increase was possible every two months.

Currently, the amount was set at five million, though he wondered if it would increase in the future.

“President Chen, with the current Pet Park plan, we won’t need that much.”

Hearing Chen Mo’s intention to invest more, Pang Tao quickly responded.

Two months ago, President Chen’s additional five million investment had just been planned out with Xu Zhengming.

Now, with another five million, he wasn’t sure how to handle it all at once.
