Chapter 66 A Few Suggestions Regarding the Primordial Spirit

After handing the recruitment work over to Song Zhiqiang, Qin Xuan felt a sense of relief.

While he knew it was rather ungracious, he couldn't help it; he was naturally not cut out to be a leader.

If it weren't for the goal of taking down Hu Hao and avenging himself and his colleagues,

He wouldn't even have started this online company.

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be a mine owner?

The next day at noon, Qin Xuan sat in his office, listening to Song Zhiqiang's summary report.

This person's capabilities were indeed impressive.

In just over ten hours, he had reviewed all the interviewees.

At the same time, he had also screened the applicants for several key positions overnight.

As long as his review was approved, they could sign contracts and start working immediately.

Moreover, not only that, but the other party had also contacted a legal team during his free time this morning.

As long as Qin Xuan agreed, they could sign a cooperation contract on the spot.

This efficiency was truly remarkable.

"I've looked through these resumes. Can I ask you a question?"

After finishing the resumes handed over by Song Zhiqiang, Qin Xuan smiled.

Song Zhiqiang was slightly taken aback and nodded very seriously, "Please, go ahead."

"I'd like to ask, why is the Marketing Director, who is so important to the company, just an ordinary junior college graduate?"

He took out a resume and placed it on the desk, his expression instantly darkening.

Song Zhiqiang didn't even glance at the resume on the desk and replied very naturally, "Because Liu Yang has extensive work experience and excellent communication skills."

"I inquired with his previous company this morning, and it confirmed my assessment."

"Furthermore, his ideas are very unique, and he possesses many marketing strategies different from others."

"Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, I believe he is fully capable of serving as the Marketing Director."

Although he didn't know why Qin Xuan's expression suddenly changed, Song Zhiqiang remained neither servile nor overbearing, not believing he had done anything wrong.

"Good, truly a rare talent!"

"It seems his statement is not problematic."

"He?"

"Who?"

Seeing Qin Xuan's smiling face return, Song Zhiqiang knew that this was the other party testing him.

But who was this "he" that President Qin mentioned?

Could it be that President Qin had investigated his former company after he joined?

Qin Xuan shook his head, gesturing for him not to mind, and then sincerely extended his right hand to Song Zhiqiang, "Although you've only been here for a day, I have truly seen your work capabilities."

"Now, I sincerely welcome you to Yaqin, and I hope that in the future, President Song can use your abilities to make Yaqin better and better."

Feeling Qin Xuan's sincerity, Song Zhiqiang was also very moved.

He quickly shook Qin Xuan's hand and sincerely assured him, "President Qin, please rest assured, since I applied for a position in our company, I will definitely dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the company!"

...

Qin Xuan and Song Zhiqiang finalized the recruitment matters, and then he asked the other party to call the contacted legal firm to the Guojin Center.

Since Qin Xuan planned to establish Yaqin's own legal department in the future, he did not sign a long-term cooperation agreement with them.

After another afternoon of busyness, all the company's employees finally signed their labor contracts.

Not only that, but Luo Caiwei's "Mi You" was also successfully traded to Yaqin Network.

Luo Caiwei took on the role of General Manager of the Mi You Studio and concurrently served as the company's Network Director.

After signing the contract, Luo Caiwei was beaming with pride.

The gloom of the past few days had completely vanished.

"President Qin, the other employees of the studio can all report tomorrow. Are there any other additions you need?"

Qin Xuan: "I have some suggestions to discuss with President Luo."

"Please, go ahead."

Qin Xuan nodded, "It's like this."

"I've tried the demo of 'Yuanshen,' and it's indeed very fun."

"Whether it's the storyline or the gameplay design, I believe they are top-notch."

"Therefore, I have some immature suggestions, and I hope you'll listen."

"1. 'Yuanshen' should no longer retain its current 2D pixel art style; it should be changed to a 3D anime style. While pixel art still has a significant audience, it ultimately cannot compare to those who pursue high-quality art styles. The 3D anime style is very popular among contemporary young people."

"2. Don't be stingy with costs; build 'Yuanshen' directly as a AAA game. You are also a game developer, and you should know the pain points of our domestic game industry. If we can develop an online game into a rare AAA game in China, it will attract a larger user base."

"3. Modify the game's monetization model. While a time-based card system can provide us with immediate profits, it also increases the barrier to entry for the game. Therefore, to broaden our audience, we can make the game free-to-play, only charging for certain aspects."

"4. Modify the character selection system. You've set up many characters in it, and I like them all. However, being able to choose only one character each time you play and then unlock another after completing a quest is too frustrating. Therefore, I suggest changing it to an instant switching mode, allowing players to switch characters according to their preferences, greatly reducing the monotony of multiple playthroughs."

"The last point is about the profit model. Although we need to change the monetization model to free-to-play, we must not adopt a pay-to-win model. When I was young, I really liked a game, but because of its pay-to-win model, I was so frustrated that I quit. This is a major deterrent for small spenders and free-to-play players, so I believe we can learn from 'League of Legends'. Both game characters and items should be obtainable directly within the game. Profit should be generated through skins, or rather, cosmetic items."

Qin Xuan's five suggestions, delivered in one breath, stunned Luo Caiwei on the spot.

It took him a full half-minute to recover.

"President Qin, it seems you really like games..."

"You are very knowledgeable about anything related to games."

"I can accept the suggestions you've made, but there's one point..."

"If 'Yuanshen' is made comparable to AAA games, the budget required will be astronomical. If we only rely on selling skins as you suggested, it might not cover the costs."

Hearing Luo Caiwei's words, Qin Xuan was taken aback.

As a gamer, he couldn't help but think from a player's perspective.

But now, things were different; he was the one in charge of the game and needed to consider it from the company's perspective.

Thinking this, Qin Xuan frowned, "I really hadn't considered that."

"Forget it."

"Regarding the profit model, President Luo, you can decide with the company's planners."

"But remember, you must not force players to spend money; all players who experience our game should have a very comfortable experience."

"I understand."

After bidding farewell to Luo Caiwei, it was also time to get off work.

As Qin Xuan walked out of his office, he noticed Yun Qing and several girls from the design department still gathered around the computer, discussing something.

Qin Xuan walked over and teased with a smile, "Ladies, working so diligently?"

"Staying at your desks even after work."

Seeing Qin Xuan, Yun Qing smiled a little nervously.

The more forthright Li Hao moved aside from the computer screen and called out to Qin Xuan, "President Qin, look quickly!"

"A rare purple jade has been discovered in Myanmar!"
