Seeing Zhuang Li's renewed fighting spirit, the thirsty system rested contentedly.

Zhuang Li notified the company's senior personnel to hold an emergency meeting.

Bai Ruyu, Yin Xiaorui, Lin Sisi, and the heads of the company's game design and production department were all present.

Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi are the earliest employees of Ares Entertainment. One is in charge of game art and the other is in charge of game copywriting. Although they are rarely required to do it themselves now, they are the main persons in charge of the expansion and reorganization of the game design and production department.

"It has been more than two years since the company released the Meteor Butterfly Sword."

When Zhuang Li spoke, everyone listened carefully.

"In the past two years or so, our Ares Entertainment Company has grown from an unknown third-rate game company to the world's leading super game company, and everyone here is indispensable."

"but!"

The people in the audience just looked happy when they were interrupted by a "but".

Generally speaking, when Zhuang Li personally praises someone at a company meeting, it means he has received a generous bonus.

However, this "but" made everyone feel a little confused.

Zhuang Li shook his head and said: "Ask yourselves, the company has come to today step by step, how much contribution have you made to the development and growth of the company?"

"Meteor Butterfly Sword, Dragon Kingdom Kill, Dungeon and Fighter, Werewolf, Minesweeper, Temple Run, Xiaoxiaole, Westward Journey, Dream Westward Journey, Counter-Strike, Onmyoji... League of Legends, King of Fighters 97, to the recent GTA5

,Dark Souls 3.”

"I would like to ask the game design and production department, which game was designed and created by you?"

The person in charge of the game design and production department immediately looked ashamed when he heard this and lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

In fact, starting from Meteor Butterfly Sword, every game produced by the company after that was provided by Zhuang Li. The game content, background, and even the code were all provided by Zhuang Li. The game design and production department just took these ready-made things and developed them.

Adjust, improve, and then hand it over to the operations department to put it on the shelves.

Zhuang Li continued: "Since the beginning of the company's establishment, the game design and production department has always existed and has continued to grow. But so far, I have not seen an original game work independently created by the design and production department."

"This disappoints me."

"Mr. Zhuang, I..." The head of the design and production department finally couldn't help but stand up, looking ashamed and not knowing how to express himself.

Zhuang Li waved his hand and asked him to sit down, and said: "I don't want to blame you. I also have a responsibility in this regard. I have always taken the initiative to provide you with game content. From today on, I will train the talents of the company's game design and production department.

Independent and original ability.”

Having said this, Zhuang Li looked at Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi.

"Manager Yin, Manager Lin, I have decided to set up a separate original game production department, with the two of you in charge."

Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi nodded in unison: "Okay, Mr. Zhuang."

"After today's meeting, you will follow me to recruit a group of new people who have ideas, abilities, and love for original games. I will establish an original game production department as soon as possible and cultivate the company's design and production capabilities for original games as soon as possible.

You can’t rely on me as the president for everything.”

Who makes you so talented in game design? Any game you design will be a classic.

Everyone thought about it secretly, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Everyone in the company admires Zhuang Li's game design ability. Whether it's Meteor Butterfly Sword, Dragon King, Dungeon Fighter, Onmyoji, Counter-Strike, King of Fighters, GTA5, every game Zhuang Li has produced.

They are all classics among classics, and their quality far exceeds the games that other game companies spend huge sums of money to design.

Even if the company's game design and production department puts all its efforts into producing a game, it may not be as good as any game produced by Zhuang Li.

Of course, Zhuang Li did not disband the original game design and production department because of this. Generally speaking, he was quite satisfied with the work ability of this department. Although he did not produce original works, he still did a good job in adjusting and improving the games he provided.

Very good.

Moreover, Zhuang Li has never asked them for originality. He only asked them to adjust and improve the games he produced. Strictly speaking, he cannot blame them.

Moreover, Zhuang Li still needs to rely on these non-original games to accumulate praise points for the upgrade reward pool.

Original games have to wait until the reward pool is upgraded to Lv4 before they can have the praise value critical hit effect. The growth of new departments also takes time. It is definitely not an easy task to make a classic original game.

Now we are just making preparations and adjusting the company's future development direction.

The original departments still need to stay.

After the meeting, the head of the game design and production department's back was soaked. He almost thought that Zhuang Li was going to disband the department. Fortunately, in the end, Zhuang Li still gave some recognition and encouragement to their department.

They were not allowed to participate in the design and production of original games, but were allowed to continue to be responsible for the development and maintenance of existing games.

It seems that the department is still very safe for the time being.

As for Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi, starting from today, they will be responsible for the establishment and management of the company's original game department.

After lunch, Zhuang Li took Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi to Tsinghua University and Peking University to select talents.

This shows that he attaches great importance to the new department.

In the car, Yin Xiaorui asked curiously: "Boss, the games you designed are all classics. Why do you have to set up a new department to engage in game design? The games they designed are definitely not as classic as the ones designed by the boss."

"Yes, the games designed by the boss are very perfect. They can't be compared to the games designed by the world's top game companies, let alone others." Lin Sisi also agreed with Yin Xiaorui's view.

They have always followed Zhuang Li and watched him play classic games one after another. They have long admired Zhuang Li's talent. In their opinion, no one can compare with Zhuang Li in terms of game design.

Aren't the games designed by the boss also original games? Other companies can't make them. In that case, why bother setting up an original game department?

Zhuang Li couldn't tell them the truth, so he could only explain: "Hey, please understand, I am the boss and the president of the company. Which game company president have you ever seen personally design games? Making money while lying down is consistent with my identity.

Well."

"Who told me, boss, that you are so talented?"

Yin Xiaorui and Lin Sisi both laughed at Zhuang Li's joke.

"It's natural that I have talent." Zhuang Li said with a calm face, "but as the boss of the company, I can't support idle people. Of course, I must cultivate the ability of company employees to independently design and produce games."
