Chapter 23: No… I need Kayan!
Chapter 23: No… I need Kayan!
At this point, Zhang Yang closed the book and looked solemnly at Lin Lang beside him.
Lin Lang now understood that this man had read his mind when he made those three visits to the thatched cottage.
"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to come back after I rejected you the first time, and I was even surprised that you ran into Wang Lin yesterday... This..."
It was only when Lin Lang left that Zhang Yang learned from Wang Lin how the two had met.
This isn't even a competition anymore, it's practically becoming an adversarial relationship!
Of course, the Lin Lang that Wang Lin mentioned was an arrogant and ignorant person who was overly ambitious and even if he didn't go to Tencent, he still wanted Wang Lin to sever his cooperation with Lin Lang.
Of course, he couldn't believe Wang Lin's one-sided story. Even if Lin Lang really was as he said, he would definitely refuse his offer.
I certainly won't refuse any orders, after all, it's about making money!
But after returning home and learning the whole story, Wang Lin's opinion of Lin Lang completely changed!
Would a petty person who is ignorant of his own limitations and has ambitions that are higher than the sky repeatedly recruit him?
Would they say something like, "You're partly responsible for this success"?
"I understand the story of Liu Bei's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, but it's not just the story itself, it's your actions."
"Lin Lang, I never expected that you would invite me so many times, just like Liu Bei. I see your sincerity."
After saying that, Zhang Yang tore the contract document in front of him to shreds.
"Shouldn't Apocalypse Studio now be the Apocalypse Design Department of Langyu Studio?"
Lin Lang saw Zhang Yang's sincerity, and when Zhang Yang told the story of Zhang Yang's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, he knew that his trip had not been in vain.
We successfully recruited several key generals!
"Brother Zhang, you're not following the script today."
"What kind of tactic?"
"I prepared a speech specifically for you. I should be the one talking and you listening, and in the end you'll be moved and sign the contract."
Zhang Yang scratched his head: "Then, Mr. Lin... would you like to do it again?"
Lin Lang shook his head, extended his hand, and said sincerely, "Brother Zhang, welcome to Langyu Studio!"
Zhang Yang smiled and reached out to shake hands firmly.
He believes that he can realize his dream here and make the game "Three Kingdoms Kill" a masterpiece for every player.
Let these game CGs leave a deep impression on every player!
Subsequently, Lin Lang also asked Shen Qi to send her a contract template, which they then printed out after discussing it.
"President Lin, I hope you won't mistreat my employees. They've worked with me for so long, and although I haven't made them a fortune, I can vouch for their abilities!"
After signing his own contract, Zhang Yang did not forget his employees.
Lin Lang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Brother Zhang, their abilities are obvious. I treat them all equally; their salaries are the same as other design department employees!"
"good!"
Following this, several other employees of Apocalypse Studio signed contracts.
They were also extremely loyal to Zhang Yang, and they were very satisfied with the salary Lin Lang offered. It was just a change of title; it was still the same people around them.
So they all agreed and signed the contract.
In this way, Lin Lang successfully recruited five employees, bringing the company's total to fifty-three, which meets the system's requirements.
Sure enough, the next moment.
A "ding!" sounded in Lin Lang's mind.
[The company currently has 50 employees. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the entry "Newcomer"!]
[Effect 1: When the host product is copied by competitors, the product will receive an additional 50% influence bonus!]
[Effect 2: The host's employees have 100% loyalty and will never betray them!]
[Effect 3: When the host gives a speech, their speaking ability is increased by 200%, and their charisma is automatically increased by 100%!]
The system daddy really came!
Lin Lang was overjoyed; these effects were incredibly powerful, and there was even one more effect than the first entry.
Now we don't have to worry about Tencent poaching our employees; employee loyalty is 100%!
"...President Lin! President Lin!"
Just as Lin Lang was immersed in the joy of his harvest, Zhang Yang saw that he was stunned, so he shook his shoulder.
"Huh? Ah!!" Lin Lang shook his head, coming back to his senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yang asked, puzzled.
"Nothing much, I was just too excited to recruit you guys!" Lin Lang waved his hand. "What did you just say?"
"I said let's make the game CG here first, and then move it to the company, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to finish the work."
Zhang Yang also expressed his concerns, as there are less than two weeks left until National Day.
We need to hurry up and finish the game's CG, otherwise we won't be able to make it in time for the next update.
"Sure! No big deal, and I think you can finish it in less time!" Lin Lang said confidently.
After all, they are now part of Langyu Studio and its employees.
The efficiency boost from "Desperate Measures" is no joke!
The employees didn't expect Lin Lang to be so confident. Although it wasn't the first time he had made it, less than two weeks was still a very short time.
Zhang Yang didn't want to let Lin Lang down, so he confidently said, "Okay, Mr. Lin! Let's do our best!"
After that, Lin Lang gave everyone a detailed introduction to the production direction of each general in this game's CG, and also gave them plenty of room to create their own designs.
I believe that if they can control the direction themselves, they will definitely be able to achieve the effect they want.
After the meeting, Lin Lang left and returned to Langyu Studio, where he still had to arrange matters related to the National Day activities.
Zhang Yang and his team started working, and you know what? They found that after signing the contract, their thinking suddenly clicked, and their work efficiency doubled!
Zhang Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems joining Langyu Studio was an absolutely correct choice!"
After Lin Lang drove back to the company, the first thing he did was tell Chen Nan and Shen Qi about his successful recruitment of Tianqi Studio.
The two were very excited when they heard the news.
This is equivalent to recruiting a famous general, so we no longer need to worry about technical issues in game art design.
Moreover, after a period of adjustment, it is definitely much better than recruiting and training new employees!
"That 'three visits to the thatched cottage' trick is really effective! It works every time you ask. Can this tactic be used to woo a girl?"
Chen Nan looked delighted and his eyes were full of anticipation as he looked at Lin Lang. He had been single for 26 years and still hadn't shaken off the title of "lifelong single"!
Although Lin Lang is not in a relationship right now, Shen Qi is here!
There's absolutely no need to worry. Even if Lin Lang proposes marriage at any moment, Shen Qi would probably agree.
Lin Lang looked Chen Nan up and down and gave a negative opinion: "Not very suitable."
"Huh? They're essentially the same thing; it's all about showing your true feelings!"
"When you're in a relationship... it looks bad."
Chen Nan: "..."
"By the way, Mr. Lin, didn't you tell me to keep a close eye on the employees in case they do anything strange? I've noticed something!"
After finishing the previous topic, Chen Nan suddenly remembered something.
Lin Lang, who had just received the bonus from the entry, really didn't care about this matter anymore. His loyalty was already 100%, so what was there to be afraid of?
"No need, Chen Nan. You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on your work."
Chen Nan looked puzzled. Hadn't they just told him to be careful? Why was he told not to worry about the problem now that they had discovered it?
Chen Nan still insisted on his opinion and wanted to voice the doubts he had discovered.
"I think it's necessary to talk about this, it's about Bai Xiaotong who accompanied you yesterday!"
"Yesterday, after I gave her the instructions, I realized I hadn't told her what to do, and she was incredibly enthusiastic, which really puzzled me! So today I observed her closely, and guess what I discovered!"
Chen Nan acted mysteriously, keeping Lin Lang and Shen Qi in suspense.
Lin Lang wasn't particularly curious; he had already formed a basic judgment about Bai Xiaotong yesterday.
This girl has absolutely no sense of caution!
Although I had some doubts yesterday, after talking with Bai Guoqing, I was able to dispel them.
However, Shen Qi became curious.
Tell me more!
"I noticed she was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, and the watch she was wearing was worth 20 yuan! That's five times the price of my watch. She's definitely a rich second-generation!"
Think about it, how can a rich kid come to our small company for a salary of only 4000 yuan? It can't possibly be just for love!
Lin Lang: Uh...it really is!
"Therefore, I strongly suspect she's an undercover agent sent by Tencent!" After saying that, Chen Nan confidently patted his chest, thus eliminating a potential threat for the company.
Unexpectedly, Lin Lang directly denied his guess: "Don't overthink it, it's impossible for her."
"How did you draw such a conclusion without any investigation?!"
"I stayed at her house last night and found out everything. She's not short of money; she's just doing this for love."
Chen Nan: .....
Shen Qi: ? ? ?
Lin Lang didn't continue chatting with the two men. Instead, he asked them to gather the employees and hold a meeting in the conference room in half an hour.
Having just suffered a setback, Chen Nan nodded and followed instructions to go outside.
Shen Qi, with a smile on her face, came up behind Lin Lang and whispered in his ear:
"Mr. Lin, why did you spend the night at that girl's house yesterday?"
Feeling a warmth near his ear, Lin Lang shivered. How could he have forgotten about this person?
Remembering what happened at the foot massage parlor last time, I didn't want her to misunderstand again.
So, Lin Lang turned his head and their eyes met.
"That grandfather was the organizer of the Mid-Autumn Festival event last time. He contacted me to discuss a collaboration for an event during the National Day holiday, and that's why we're having this meeting. I stayed overnight because I drank too much."
Shen Qi's smile became much more natural, and the question in her heart was finally answered.
"Next time you're drunk, you can call me and I'll come pick you up. It's not good to stay at an employee's house, it'll just make things worse."
"I'll definitely do it next time!"
