However, Xu Zhi did not think so.
“Wang Kewen, I remember that I said a month ago to stop all development for Real Battlefield 2. Did you not hear that? For a bad seed, we can not think that it will sprout just because we put time into it. You have to understand that if you plant a bad seed, it will not sprout even if you water it eight times a day and fertilize it ten times a day. Real Battlefield 2 is a bad seed. We need to abandon it.”
Wang Kewen did not say anything. He just looked straight at Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi continued, “Moreover, you just said that the basics of Jumping the Line of Fire were not well established and that it’s not a big game. Then let me ask you, what is a big game? Is a big game one that invests a lot of time and manpower? Then, in the future, wouldn’t it be enough to make games with a lot of people? Wouldn’t it be enough for each game company to compare who spent a larger budget to develop games? Could it be that a few people can’t make a big game and can’t make a good game?”
“In my opinion, as long as we walk the right path, even if it only takes a month, Jumping the Line of Fire will become a game that will be popular for 10 to 20 years.”
“President Xu, I want to take a leave of absence. I have a headache and want to go home.”
“Leave of absence? I approve it!”
Xu Zhi waved his hand and said. Meanwhile, Wang Kewen did not say anything. He pushed open the glass door of the meeting room and left.
“President Xu?” Ding Xiaomei stood up as if she was asking Xu Zhi if she should chase after Wang Kewen.
“Sit down! Don’t worry about it.”
Xu Zhi was not angry at Wang Kewen, but rather, he felt helpless.
The helpless thing was, why could he not change his mind? Actually, Xu Zhi still had a good impression of Wang Kewen. After all, he was very persistent. It was a rare quality to be so devoted to the success of Real Battlefield 2. Moreover, he was more enthusiastic than anyone else when it came to work.
However, although persistence was a good character trait, Wang Kewen had taken the wrong path, which became a fatal poison.
Originally, Xu Zhi had planned that if Wang Kewen continued to argue with him, he would fire Wang Kewen at any cost. However, Wang Kewen said that he had a headache and asked for leave, so Xu Zhi did not have the intention to fire him immediately.
After all, Wang Kewen was quite capable, and it would be difficult to find a replacement in a short period of time. Xu Zhi decided to give him a few days off, and then monitor his performance after he returned.
After taking a deep breath, Xu Zhi returned to the topic of setting up a customer service department.
“Does anyone have any opinions about setting up a customer service department?”
After the argument between Xu Zhi and Wang Kewen just now, who else dared to have any opinions? Huang Meng glanced at Xu Zhi and did not say anything.
“Okay, from today onwards, the customer service department of the company will be officially established. Then, who has a good recommendation for the position of customer service director?”
“President Xu, I have a person under me who has relevant experience. I can ask him to try,” Zheng Quan said.
“Okay, no problem. Ask him to him come and see me later.”
With that, Xu Zhi announced the end of the meeting. Actually, Xu Zhi did not really care who would be the customer service director. He only said that to make his subordinates feel more comfortable.
Xu Zhi had always believed that other than technical positions, any other managerial position could be filled by anyone after a certain amount of training.
Moreover, the training time would not be too long. It could be done in just a few days.
The butt determines the brain. When you sit in that position for long enough, you will naturally become the person needed for that position.
After Liu Bang became the emperor, most of the generals and talents around him were from his hometown, Pei County. Could it be that Pei County, where Liu Bang grew up, was so outstanding? Was there talent everywhere? Actually, it was not. The important thing was that Liu Bang provided a platform.
There were many talented people everywhere. Xu Zhi believed in this.
As for Xu Zhi, he could give the customer service director as a platform to anyone. It was up to him to hand out this growth opportunity.
Of course, if the candidate really turned out to be unsuitable, Xu Zhi would naturally change the candidate.
When he returned to the office, Xu Zhi had a lot of things to do. He was busy until noon. As for the customer service director recommended by Zheng Quan, Xu Zhi met up with him and said a few words. He felt that the person was not bad, so he let him temporarily become the director.
Although Xu Zhi was busy, he did not forget about another thing. Ding Xiaomei had mentioned the problem of insufficient office space in the company.
The three-story building that Dream Game Company was currently in might have been sufficient when Qin Zishu bought it, but now, it was insufficient for the needs of their growing company.
Of course, it would not be a problem if he forced it, but the company might end up looking like a night market.
Jumping the Line of Fire’s daily revenue was already over ten million. According to Xu Zhi’s estimates, they would be able to earn at least 300 million this month. With the addition of a few other games, the company was not short of money at the moment.
After settling most of the matters at hand, Xu Zhi had a simple lunch. Then, he started wandering around the company by himself.
As for the newly established customer service department, Xu Zhi did not want it to be too far away from the headquarters. It would be best if he was nearby.
Bluestar’s current level of development was ten years behind Xu Zhi’s world in his previous life. Xijing City had only expanded a little, so it was not very crowded. It was not difficult for Xu Zhi to find a new place for the company. In fact, with the current scale of the Dream Game Company, it was completely feasible to relocate the company’s headquarters.
After taking a tour around the area, Xu Zhi took a fancy to a ten-story commercial building 500 meters away from the headquarters. After some thinking, Xu Zhi decided to rent an entire floor as the company’s customer service headquarters.
Of course, Xu Zhi did not have the final say. He still had to transfer the money from the finance department. He called Huang Meng and asked her to come over and handle the formalities.
Huang Meng did not say anything. The company could totally afford this amount of money on paper. However, when she was paying, Huang Meng could not help but comment, “President Xu, didn’t you discuss with President Qin about renting this floor?”
“No, what’s there to discuss with this little bit of money? Everything in the company is up to me now. Zishu just needs to rest at home and nurse her baby. I don’t think you’re still doubting my ability, right?”
“No!” Huang Meng shook her head, and then she looked down. She asked casually, “How’s President Qin recently?”
Huang Meng looked casual, but Xu Zhi understood everything.
“Don’t worry. My wife is doing well. She’s been eating well and sleeping soundly. She’s been sending me photos every day,” Xu Zhi said with a proud and happy expression. When Huang Meng heard that, her eyes were a little blurry as if she was fantasizing about something.
“The two of you, sign it.” The property manager of the commercial building at the side looked at the two people who came to handle the rental procedures with curiosity. In his eyes, the man and the woman looked like celebrities, but their conversation really confused him.
Especially those words about President Qin, his wife, how was she? It made him confused about the relationship between the two of them.
“Okay.”
Without any delay, Xu Zhi quickly signed the papers.
The money had just been transferred, and this floor of the office building now belonged to Dream Game Company. The lease term was not long, only two years.
“Let’s go!”
After patting Huang Meng’s shoulder, who was still in a daze, Xu Zhi brought her downstairs.
As they walked toward Dream Game Company, Huang Meng looked at the building that was getting closer and closer. After struggling for a while, she finally could not help but call out to Xu Zhi..
