My science and technology museum

When Xu Lei heard the busy signal coming from his cell phone, he felt dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he would be disliked.

Because he had been interviewed by a reporter from the main station before, and the school specially called his home to express condolences, Xu Lei had no intention of hiding it and directly told his elders that he had registered a company and was working on his career.

My parents are naturally very supportive of this and are proud to have raised such an outstanding son.

It's just that Xu Lei didn't expect that his parents would be so relaxed after learning that they didn't have to worry about his life, and they would leave him and go to Hainan to travel to celebrate the New Year.

However, Xu Lei was quite happy to see his parents' attitude being so good. At least this way he could put all his attention on the development of the smart game engine project and strive to get it online as soon as possible.

"Alas~"

"I hope that when I go home next time, I won't suddenly have more brothers or sisters."

Xu Lei then put away his mobile phone and after saying this sincerely, he readjusted and went to work.

February 15, 2018.

Thursday.

New Year's Eve.

Longhu Summer Palace has already been decorated with Spring Festival couplets and lanterns. At this time, the villa is quite lively.

"Shihe, check if the dumplings are ready."

"Okay, Sister Xia."

"You guys, hurry up and clear the tables, and I asked Lu Hongbo, can you ask your people to put away the computers first? Mr. Xu didn't ask you to come here today for work."

"My pot, I'll shut them down right away."

"Here comes the freshly cooked chicken soup~"

On the sofa in the living room, Xu Lei looked at the more than twenty figures busy in the kitchen and dining room, and felt a little warm for some reason.

For those present, the relationship between each other became closer while busy with the New Year's Eve dinner.

After all, everyone is basically from various cities. For various reasons, they stayed in a second-tier city like Binjiang to develop. Now that they can find a company worthy of their lifelong trust and a group of like-minded colleagues, everyone will cherish it very much.

However, it should be noted that Xu Lei did not intend to act like a boss. He mainly finished all the work directly when so many people stayed together.

There was really no chance for him to intervene.

I can only sit on the sofa and rest with peace of mind.

soon.

When the food was brought to the table, Xu Lei looked at the delicious hard dishes such as braised carp in front of him, braised pork knuckles with sweet and sour pork ribs, and had to praise that the company is full of talents!

But since it’s New Year’s Eve dinner, there must be a must-have meal program.

Otherwise, you will always feel like something is missing.

Then Xu Lei shouted to Xingtong: "Xingtong, play Wulin Gaiden."

"Good master."

Almost at the same time that Xingtong's voice came out, familiar pictures and figures appeared on the big screen in the living room, as well as the opening song that was engraved deep in the soul.

As for the national program Spring Festival Gala.

It really doesn't arouse any interest.

Different from other companies where employee team building requires leaders to give speeches and classes, Xu Lei does not have those messy things. The purpose is for everyone to have fun, have fun, and celebrate a new year that is different from the past.

Besides, with the delicious food now, there is no reason to live up to it.

It was not until around ten o'clock in the evening, when everyone had almost eaten, that Lu Hongbo from the technical department and Zhang Xia from the operations department took the initiative to come to Xu Lei.

And his expression looked a little weird, as if he was holding something back in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Xu Lei didn't think much and asked casually: "What's wrong? If it's something serious, just tell me."

"Mr. Xu, our engine is about to enter the final stage, but the publicity and promotion issue has not been resolved yet." Faced with Xu Lei's inquiry, Lu Hongbo first spoke out about his purpose.

at the same time.

Zhang Xia, who was next to her, also quickly took over the conversation and added: "Yes, Mr. Xu, with our company's current financial situation, I'm afraid it's not enough to support the subsequent engine announcements."

After listening to what the two people said, Xu Lei immediately understood their concerns.

In the past few months, the company has rented office space to pay employees' salaries, and in order to better utilize the performance of Xingtong, it has spent millions of dollars to build server rooms, so that the remaining funds on the company's books are now less than one million.

In the meantime, we also undertook technical upgrade projects for other cities' Sky Eye surveillance systems, otherwise the situation would only be more difficult.

However, this amount of funds alone for publicity and promotion is far from enough.

When he first released Deep Missing, he had no choice but to resort to the short video platform because he had no funds to promote it.

If it were released by Penguin, with the various resources they have now, I am afraid that the number of users of Deeply Missing could exceed one million on that day.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to do things if you have money, but you can’t deny this.

Key game engines are different from ordinary software. Even if the engines developed by future technology are easier to operate and more intelligent than those on the market, it will be very difficult to stand out in today's nearly mature engine licensing market.

This also better reflects the importance of early publicity and promotion.

When Lu Hongbo saw Xu Lei's delay in responding, he thought he was worried about this matter, so he immediately suggested: "Mr. Xu, why don't we stop paying this month's salary for now, and wait until our engine is firmly established in the market?" I’m doubling the compensation to everyone.”

"I think this plan is feasible." Zhang Xia nodded, agreeing with Lu Hongbo's proposal.

As the project progresses today, everyone is well aware of the powerful functions of the intelligent game engine, and it will inevitably achieve engine hegemony after entering the market.

Completely occupy the top spot in the engine market.

With this confidence, let alone temporarily suspending this month's salary, there will be no complaints for a few more months.

But Xu Lei shook his head and chose to refuse.

"The company has not yet reached the point where it has stopped paying employees' salaries. Regarding the publicity and promotion of the engine, I already have a plan. Your technical department can just concentrate on improving the various components of the engine."

Xu Lei naturally did not say this just to appease Lu Hongbo and Zhang Xia. The company does have limited funds at the moment, but in today's Internet era, there is no only way to promote products.

The promotion efficiency of Deep Miss may not be as good as that of a professional promotion company, but at least the final result is successful.

What's more, the company still has plenty of time to prepare.

Although Lu Hongbo and Zhang Xia entered the company at different times, through their contact with Xu Lei during this period, they both knew his personality and work style.

Now that they have made it so clear, they can't go on and say more. They can only choose to believe in the boss's ability.

"I understand Mr. Xu."

After finally replying with this sentence, he turned around and left to join other people's games.

…

The Spring Festival holiday has passed, and March has arrived in a few days.

The smart game engine developed by Future Technology with the help of artificial intelligence assistant has finally entered the stage of final testing and publicity.
