"That's right, Mr. Qiu. The game will be available on STM and PS platforms later on."
"I really can't give up my equity anymore. It will be difficult to ask for the price for the second phase of financing later."
"The art is outsourced to your company? This...isn't good. They are all my old colleagues. It's hard to ask for return...Oh, I'm talking about another outsourcing company of yours."
Xu Fei rolled his eyes and thought to himself, old fox, invest in me and then let me spend the money back on your company. Businessmen are businessmen who really know how to calculate.
He was on the phone with the boss of his former company in the yard.
Yesterday at noon, I sent an angel investment plan for independent game development to Boss Qiu. Unexpectedly, the boss called me today.
It seems that the tax-free policy for foreign game consoles next year will have a big impact on the industry, and everyone has begun to prepare in advance.
Because of Xu Fei's interest as a boy, he used his spare time to create independent games during his school days.
After a small amount of success, I confidently posted my work online, and then I was slapped in the face.
After I started working, my ideas became more mature and my people became more stable. I discovered many problems that I had not thought of before and began to optimize and improve my projects.
By the time I resigned, the game's code, numerical values, and plot text had been completed, leaving only the most expensive art resources.
In Xu Fei’s self-made games, all the resources currently used are found online.
From character scenes to action special effects, you can either buy them from a certain website for a few yuan or download them from foreign websites.
In summary, if you don't want people to call you a "stitch monster" when the game is officially launched, the only problem is money.
An ancient person said it well: when you raise your glass, you will be filled with sorrow, but when you lower your head, you will think about how difficult it is to make money.
Money is hard to come by, so food is hard to eat.
After the two parties expressed their feelings on the phone, the matter was initially settled.
Xu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and started to lie about another thing: "By the way, Mr. Qiu, I remember before leaving my job, our company was looking for a professional game plot translation team, right?"
"Hmm? Xiao Xu, do you have a reliable company introduction?" An interested voice came from the other end of the phone.
As the boss of a medium-sized game company, Qiu Guo has been having a headache recently.
As overseas game consoles are about to be tax-free and high-quality games will be introduced to China, policies have begun to encourage domestic games to go overseas and develop high-quality independent games to hedge against industry shocks.
This is a great opportunity to expand the company.
But Qiu Guo's company has been focusing on domestic krypton gold games all year round, and the news came to light too late, and the situation was temporarily in chaos.
I hurriedly started to gather all the resources and channels needed for exporting to overseas markets, but unfortunately it was a little late.
Especially plot translation, this thing is different from ordinary translation. Some awkward, retro, and unfamiliar words and phrases will make jokes if they are not translated well, or foreigners may not be able to understand them.
Moreover, translating requires at least five foreign languages to start with. Usually you can only find a professional plot translation company. It is too inefficient to find separate individuals and it is difficult to control the quality.
There are only a dozen or so professional plot translation companies in China, and they have already been contracted by big companies, so it is not his turn.
"Mr. Qiu, it's not the company. I have a friend who is proficient in multiple foreign languages. I don't have much work lately and I want to find a part-time job." Xu Fei said with a smile.
"I'm a person..." Qiu Guo immediately lost interest.
Of course Xu Fei knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "This friend of mine is not ordinary. He can translate very quickly and ensures quality. How about you send me a test manuscript? There is no loss in trying it anyway."
"Okay, I'll ask the overseas operations side to contact you later."
"Okay, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fei lit a celebratory cigarette with a smile on his face.
Leaving aside the matter of independent games, the little girl’s work is finally done.
Leiyin is a very proud person at heart, and has mentioned several times that she wants to earn living expenses by herself.
Xu Fei has been thinking about this matter these days and listed many jobs that Leiyin is qualified for, such as graphic model, kendo gym instructor, foreign language translator...
Although it would definitely be very profitable for Leiyin to become a host, Xu Fei rejected it outright. Even to death, she would not be able to recommend the little girl to show her face online, and she was definitely not willing to do so.
After much thought, she still thought that the translation job she had mentioned when she deceived her parents was the most suitable job for her.
How terrible is Leiyin's foreign language ability? It's so terrible that it's not learned at all...
He is very confident that the little girl will be able to complete this job perfectly. The most important thing is that this job does not require working in an office. He is not working now, so it would be great to work at home together!
Moreover, it saves the hot men outside from worrying about it. With Leiyin’s looks, it would be a damn thing if people didn’t surround her every day!
Thinking of this, Xu Fei felt very good.
He put out his cigarette butt, picked up the big iron sword and armor, and quickly completed his daily morning exercises.
"Tell you good news." Xu Fei came over with a smile on his face.
The jade hand that was wiping the window with a rag slowly stopped, and Leiyin looked at Xu Fei, waiting for what he would say next.
Leiyin is a very clean person, and she is basically doing all the cleaning and maintenance work at home these days.
Every time Xu Fei came to help, she would stop her, saying that she needed to do something for her family to feel at ease.
Finally, the two discussed and divided the work. Xu Fei is usually responsible for cleaning the kitchen, toilet and cooking, while Leiyin is responsible for other daily housework.
Of course, except for the weekly cleaning, two people come together.
"I helped you find a part-time job." Xu Fei continued.
Upon hearing this, Leiyin still maintained a cold expression, but her big, watery eyes gradually brightened.
"Fei...what kind of job is..." Leiyin asked slightly worriedly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
In fact, she doesn't even know what kind of job she can do in this world.
The social environment and civilization are completely different from those of Leitings. It seems that the knowledge she possesses is difficult to use here... What can be mainly used can basically not be exposed.
Difficult, is it a labor of strength?
Yes, I am very strong compared to people in this world... But I feel some resistance in my heart. Is it possible that the situation in the army will happen again, where everyone mistakenly thinks that my muscles are very...
After all, she is a girl and doesn't want to be called a strongman.
"It's the translation work I mentioned when I had dinner with my parents last time." Xu Fei explained.
Leiyin blinked, and the stone in her heart instantly dropped. She asked with a smile: "Is it to translate Chinese into other languages in this world..."
"Yes, that's what it means. But it cannot be translated mechanically, because most of the content is storyline, and the emotions in the text need to be restored as much as possible. Is there any problem?"
Leiyin shook her head slightly and said: "As long as the original text is well written..."
Xu Fei nodded and understood the meaning of the other party's words.
What the little girl means is that she cannot improve the writing style of the original text.
Of course there is no problem, this is something she should not be responsible for in the first place.
"Ahem, but there is something I need to discuss with you." Xu Fei coughed lightly and said solemnly.
"..."
When the girl heard this, she put down the rag and cooperated, showing that she was listening carefully.
