Clap, clap, clap, clap!!
Before Ding Xiaomei could finish her sentence, the crowd burst into applause. On the first day, the value of the account had exceeded 10 million. This was an explosive amount of money for any gaming company.
Although he had already heard the news early this morning, Xu Zhi still could not help but clap loudly.
He was more excited than anyone else present.
Even when he was developing the game, he knew that Jumping the Line of Fire would definitely become popular after it was launched. However, when this moment really came, Xu Zhi could not suppress his joy.
Surrounding him, the employees all had looks of worship. The negative impact of the closed beta a day ago had completely disappeared, and everything seemed to have changed.
This was not only the success of the game, but also a validation of his personal way of thinking.
After Ding Xiaomei finished speaking, Xu Zhi walked forward.
“Colleagues, please let me first express my highest respect to you. Without your tireless efforts this month, without your hard work this month, we wouldn’t have this game, and we wouldn’t have created such an achievement. Please let me salute you.”
After he finished speaking, Xu Zhi bowed to all of his employees.
Compared to the exciting data that Ding Xiaomei had reported, Xu Zhi’s actions at this moment stunned everyone.
They had never thought that the boss of the company would bow to his employees.
Many people had worked in other companies before entering Dream Game Company. Forget about the boss bowing to his employees, in other companies, it was already considered good enough if the boss did not make the employees kneel down and work for him.
Even Qin Zishu had never done this before. Xu Zhi’s actions shocked everyone.
There was complete silence.
However, Xu Zhi did not think much of it. One reason was that he was really happy today. He had made a good start with Jumping the Line of Fire, which gave him the confidence to do what he was going to do next. The other reason was that he really felt that he could not have done this without these employees. Bowing was nothing.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him. The corners of his mouth lifted.
“Alright, I won’t say anymore. That’s all for today’s happy news report. Everyone can go back to work.”
The crowd dispersed and there was a flurry of discussion below. Everyone was shocked by Xu Zhi’s actions just now.
In the small conference room, a new meeting was underway.
Just now in the hall on the first floor, it was a staff meeting to announce the good news. In this small conference room, it was a departmental meeting. Xu Zhi still had something to discuss today.
Other than Xu Zhi, there were only a few department heads of the company.
They clapped again for the successful launch of Jumping the Line of Fire. Xu Zhi stopped and looked at the directors. He started to speak.
“There’s something I want to discuss with you today. As far as I know, the customer service department of the company was outsourced. Now, I’m thinking that we should take this matter in-house. We should set up our own customer service department to provide better customer service to the players.”
After hearing Xu Zhi’s words, the directors looked at each other.
Ding Xiaomei said, “President Xu, this is a good thing, but the company has more than 200 people now, and there is no more space.”
Xu Zhi did not expect that Ding Xiaomei was talking about the company’s space. However, it was true. The three-story building of Dream Game Company could accommodate more than 200 people, but there was no more space.
“Let’s not talk about this for now. Are there any other problems?”
“President Xu, I don’t think our company needs a customer service department for the time being. After all, this is a thankless task. If it’s necessary, we can wait until the scale is larger before setting up.” He Wei from the planning department expressed his opinion.
“If we set up a customer service department, this personnel aspect will be a big problem. Customer service is not like other departments. The people needed are at an exponential level. I’m afraid we need at least 100 people. This will be a huge burden on our company’s finances,” Huang Meng said.
Xu Zhi shook his head. He felt that none of these were good reasons.
“Actually, you may not know this, but I just came up with this idea early this morning. If our Jumping the Line of Fire wasn’t so popular, I wouldn’t have this idea.”
Xu Zhi began to express his opinion.
“Jumping the Line of Fire has achieved such results the moment it went online. I think that it will become even more popular in the future, which means that there will be more players. I know that we outsourced the customer service department, and their service quality can only be said to be passable. Now that there are so many players in Jumping the Line of Fire, I think that if we outsource it again, the service quality will decline even more. This will be extremely disadvantageous to the development of the game moving forward.”
“President Xu, you can consider outsourcing to other companies. Many big companies do this. It’s both labor-saving and cheap,” Huang Meng said.
“No, no, no. If you say that Dream Game Company is only making quick money with Jumping the Line of Fire, of course, you can do that. However, in my heart, the lifespan of Jumping the Line of Fire should be at least 10 to 20 years. In other words, this game must not have any major problems in all aspects. I think that in the future, setting up a customer service department is absolutely worth it.”
“10 years? 20 years?”
Wang Kewen could not sit still.
In his heart, although Jumping the Line of Fire had made a good start with daily revenue of over 10 million, it was just the first day. After all, they had invested 30 million in advertising fees.
Wang Kewen’s opinion, this situation would only last for a few days at most. Players would quit the game because of the trash graphics quality and expensive guns. In the future, the game’s lifespan might not even last for a year. 10 to 20 years, was President Xu talking in his sleep?
“What’s the matter, Wang Kewen? Do you have any objections?” Xu Zhi asked.
“Director Xu, I don’t have any objections. It’s just that 10 to 20 years is too exaggerated. We are all insiders in our company, we know our own family affairs. This Jumping the Line of Fire was created by us in a month. I think that our lifespan is only a few years. We can’t be so blind.”
“Hahaha, Wang Kewen, you can’t have this kind of thinking. As the saying goes, aim for the stars, and you will land on the moon. If you make games with this kind of mentality, I’m afraid not many games can last a few months.”
“President Xu, I’m telling the truth. This game was indeed developed by us in a month. The foundation is not good. Some companies take a few years just to develop a game. I think we just need to take advantage of fast and easy money. After that, the main focus is on making a big game.”
“Big Game? Real Battlefield 2?” Xu Zhi immediately understood Wang Kewen’s thoughts.
“I’m not saying that a big game is Real Battlefield 2. It’s just that Real Battlefield 2 is a big game. President Xu, I don’t think we can put Real Battlefield 2 aside.”
Wang Kewen felt that this was a good opportunity. It was a good opportunity for Xu Zhi to restart Real Battlefield 2. He could make some quick money with Jumping the Line of Fire, and then restart development for Real Battlefield 2. There was no problem at all..
