It's about two o'clock on Saturday afternoon.

Jinghe Community.

Xu Yi packed his briefcase, took his resume and other personal belongings, put on a formal suit, and prepared to go out.

"Going out for another interview?" Bi Wenli, who had just come out from her nap, glanced at the suit he was wearing and asked.

"Yes." Xu Yi put on his shoes and opened the door, nodded, "I'll be back after dinner."

Currently, Xu Yi works in a certain company, sitting in a medium-sized project management position. Taking into account performance and year-end bonuses, the average monthly salary is about ten thousand to twenty thousand.

Including Bi Wenli opening a supermarket, she can earn a lot every month, so the family is not really short of money.

However, Xu Yi's personal sense of crisis is relatively strong, especially since he is 45 years old this year. For the position of programmer, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is super old.

The computer veterans in the same group as him are either already dominant in the domestic market, or at least they are high-level backbones in major Internet companies.

After accumulating a certain amount of financial connections in large companies, once these high-level technical backbones go out to work alone and find a good idea, they can often soar into the sky with the various resources they have accumulated.

But Xu Yi's foundation was really weak at the beginning. He said he was a computer major, but in fact he had to study all by himself in college. After working, he relied on the advice of some seniors to gradually acquire some decent skills.

In addition, he is relatively content with stability and does not compete for most of his work. He also enjoys spending time at home with his wife and children. Therefore, when he worked for several companies, his level was basically neither above nor below.

At the highest level, he was the person in charge of some ordinary projects.

But he doesn’t really just stay in one company peacefully.

Generally speaking, every six months to one year, Xu Yi will re-select companies in the market and submit his resume.

I did this not really to change jobs, but just to find out where the prices and remuneration for programmers of his age and ability are in the current market.

If the fluctuations are not too big, then he can still stay in the company safely.

After all, at this age, if he can move, Xu Yi must be too lazy to move anymore and just wants to retire in the company with peace of mind.

After all, it is a management position that is not too big or too small. Although it cannot be said to be a high-level backbone, it is still better than the top.

At this stage of his life, stability is the most important thing.

Unless a company really values ​​his ability and offers a salary much higher than the current level, it is basically impossible for him to move his position.

Secondly, going out for an interview is also a way to gain knowledge and broaden your horizons.

In particular, emerging companies that are gaining momentum in the market, as well as start-ups that currently appear to have great potential, are Xu Yi's targets.

Although understanding this thing would not be of much help to him in his daily work, he still wants to trade in stocks.

Even if some companies have not yet been listed on the market, he can go to interviews in advance, go to other companies to see the mental outlook of employees, understand the internal working status and processes, and combine it with all kinds of information that can be found on the market, which can be regarded as a kind of advance preparation. Researched.

In fact, Xu Yi usually earns a lot of his income from stocks.

As someone who works in the Internet field, most of the companies he likes to invest in are of this type.

And with the rapid development of the domestic Internet economy, he has made a lot of money from it.

"Hmm? Are you going out too?"

As soon as I walked out of the house, I met Xu Jian.

The two brothers said hello, and Xu Jian knew that his younger brother was going out for interviews and fun again.

"What company is it this time?"

"It's called Qunxing Company. It has a Tianshu studio under its umbrella and has made a mobile game called Fruit Assassin." Xu Yi followed Xu Jian downstairs and said as he walked, "The monthly income is estimated to be eight figures now.

."

"Hey." Xu Jian smacked his lips, "This crappy game is quite profitable?"

"That's not true, and the money you make is still beautiful." Xu Yi smiled, "Small domestic companies distribute their games to Americans. Currently, they have the highest sales among new games. They make them themselves.

Even mobile games can’t beat it.”

"That's awesome." When he heard that he was bringing glory to the country, his bad game immediately turned into a good one. Xu Jian praised, "This boss has a lot of potential."

"I'm also quite curious about who the boss of this company is." Xu Yi touched his chin and said, "I guess he must have at least graduated from a prestigious school. He must have worked in the game department of some big companies before, and then recently came out to work alone."

"Making tens of millions a month is incredible." Xu Jian shook his head and sighed, "I am so busy working now, I only earn hundreds of thousands a month."

"I heard that the online store you and your sister-in-law are running is very popular now?" Xu Yi thought of this, so he asked with a smile, "I remember it was that guy Xu Xing's idea to open an online store, right?"

"Hey, the blind cat has run into a dead rat." Xu Jian curled his lips and then said, "Recently, I went to negotiate with several OEMs and tried to help Wanhui get a cheaper ex-factory price for customized models."

"However, big factories don't accept such small orders, and small factories are reluctant to accept them because of production capacity issues. If they do, the prices are almost as high as those in the wholesale market. It's a headache."

"Today I have to drink with several sales managers from the OEM. Your sister-in-law is quite comfortable. She enjoys herself staying in the store and blowing on the air conditioner."

Xu Yi smiled: "Why don't you bring your sister-in-law with you?"

"Women should stay at the base camp with peace of mind." Xu Jian walked out of the corridor, straightened his collar, "Leave the drinking matter to the men, let's go."

The two brothers each got into their own cars, and after exiting the community side by side, they lowered the windows and said hello one last time, then separated at the entrance of the community.

Xu Yi drove the car towards Yaoguang Entrepreneurship Park.

…

Yaoguang Entrepreneurship Park, Tianshu Studio, seventh floor, East Park.

After Xu Yi parked his car in the parking lot, he took the elevator and arrived at the seventh floor. He saw the brand-new words "Tianshu Studio" on the door of the office space in front of him.

Next to it is a logo of the Big Dipper. The one representing the Tianshu star is dyed gold and becomes more conspicuous.

"Are you here for an interview too?" A young man who also walked out of the elevator, tall and muscular, with thick hair and dark skin, glanced at the other two people who walked out together and asked curiously.

"Yeah." The other young man nodded, looking rather dull and introverted, and stopped talking after responding.

Xu Yi looked at the healthy hair of the two young men and couldn't help but touch the thinning top of his head with emotion. He could only admit that time is ruthless and time is like a barber's knife.

"They are all here for interviews, right?" Xu Yi chuckled, "I don't think any other companies are interviewing on this floor."

"Uncle, are you coming for an interview at such an old age?" The sturdy boy smiled and said hello, "Lei Wenyan, I just graduated from Min University this year."

"Oh, you are a top student." Xu Yi looked envious, "I am old and can't compare with you young people. What is this person's name?"

With that said, Xu Yi looked at the more introverted boy and asked.

"He Sitong." The boy whispered, "Graduated from Fu University with a master's degree."

The three of them walked into the studio door while chatting.

The secretary at the door, Peng Yuxuan, registered them and then arranged their resumes in order.

"Well, you are the last three interviewers today. Please wait for a moment in the empty seats next to you. There are about four interviewers waiting in line in front of you."

"OK, thanks."

The three of us were destined to sit at the same table.

Lei Wenyan, who has a more unrestrained personality, first asked: "What is uncle's job now?"

"I am working a part-time job in a certain degree." Xu Yi chuckled, and after answering casually, he asked curiously, "You have graduated from a prestigious university, how could you think of coming to this company for an interview just a few months after its establishment?"

"I have invested in more than 20 companies, and this is just one of them." He Sitong said concisely and concisely, "The company is small, but has great potential and high chances of promotion. It is easier to get ahead than in big companies."

"I have already received offers from several game companies." Lei Wenyan rubbed his head and complained, "But our domestic game companies are too unprogressive, and I really don't like the products of those companies, so I just want to find one.

Stay with companies that make games."

"This Tianshu Studio can only be said to be an alternative. If I can pass the interview, I will come in first and stay for a while to check it out. After all, they have just released a Fruit Assassin, which is quite interesting and can interact with touch-screen mobile phones."

The way, using cut fruits to show it, the planning is quite thoughtful.”

"But if I make a lot of money and the new games start to fail, then I will probably quit after a few months. I hope the boss here won't let it go."

When they talked about the situation in the studio, He Sitong seemed to become interested. He pushed up his round glasses with his middle finger and said seriously: "I think the boss of this studio should have some ideas."

"Not only in terms of game creativity, but also in terms of game market selection."

"Currently, the sales of domestic buyout-based mobile games are not ideal, but the market mechanism in North America is very mature, and players' paying habits have been cultivated for a long time."

"Fruit Assassin chose to upload in foreign markets instead of in China. In my opinion, it is a very powerful and decisive decision."

"I don't care about marketing." Lei Wenyan shook his head and was not very interested in this aspect. "Anyway, as long as the game is fun and innovative, then I am optimistic about this company."

"I think what He Sitong said is very interesting." Xu Yi added with a smile, "I don't know if you have paid attention to it, but the promotion of Fruit Assassin has set off a wave in North America."

"In the beginning, it was just about 20 advertising videos on YouTube, but later it escalated into a debate with the Sword of Exotic Project."

"I have been following the progress in the past two days, and it turns out that a blogger with more than a million fans on YouTube posted his Fruit Assassin points and skin, which triggered a lot of followers."

"Yesterday, some young celebrities even posted screenshots of their Fruit Assassin points on Twitter. They seemed to be happy to use this method to get closer to their fans."

At this time, He Sitong added: "Today is only the 6th, and sales have already exceeded 2.5 million. This is a buyout system, and the net income for a week must be at least 20 million."

Lei Wenyan: "What the hell?!"

He generally pays more attention to the quality, creativity, and playability of games, but doesn't care much about specific sales and income.

Now that He Sitong said this, I suddenly felt a little different.

"More than 20 million a week?" Lei Wenyan was a little stunned, "Not 80 million a month? Nearly a billion a year? Is it true?"

"If you want to sell one billion, you have to have so many users." Xu Yi reminded with a smile, "The buyout system has an upper limit on the number of players, so it is impossible to sell it endlessly."
