American Fortune Life
Chapter 291: Need special terms?
When the lawyer pushed in and walked in, Andy was about to call the game company in San Francisco, but when he saw the person, he could only put down the microphone in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, nodded slightly, and held out his hand. , Said, "You are here, Hank. Please sit down."
"thank you boss."
"Calling you, just one thing, re-draw a work contract for Tory Black, and she will follow me as an assistant job, and a confidentiality agreement ..." Andy finished , Looking at each other with a smile on his face.
"Okay, boss, I ’ll go back and make it right away. As for the confidentiality agreement ... do you need special terms?" Attorney Hank responded immediately, although he also found the weird expression on the boss's face, which can generally be associated with something, after all Tory Black's appearance is still very good, and as a personal assistant, the probability of something happening is very high.
In accordance with his professional habits and responsible attitude to the boss, although the questions asked may be a bit straightforward, but this kind of thing is still good to ask clearly, it will inevitably cause trouble in the future.
Andy shook his head and laughed, looking at the lawyer sitting opposite with a meaningful look, "Hehe, what do you say?"
Hank pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, no embarrassed expression on his face, and nodded earnestly, "I see! Then, boss, I'll go back and draw up a contract now."
Watching Hank leave, Andy couldn't help shaking his head again and chuckling again. For his father Oston to recommend this ice-faced lawyer to himself, he now understands it. It is rigid and straightforward. There seems to be very few things Affecting his mood, those who insist on their professional ethics can naturally guarantee that such people will only care about the interests of the employer, and will appear a little cold to others.
With a smile, Andy picked up the phone and called Carlisle, who was mocking Bird Games.
"Carlisle, how have you been recently?" New York is three hours faster than San Francisco, and now this time is the time when the gaming company just went to work.
"Good morning, boss. Hehe, ever since" Zombies "went on the market, I have never been in a better mood than now. Oh my god, boss, you do n’t know how popular our" Zombies "are. It's up! On the first day of the new year's listing, the sales exceeded 300,000, which is incredible! "Carlisle's laughter was very bright, showing that the mood was really good.
"Oh, this is also an early advertisement, and the promotion is well done. After all, it has more preparation time than when" Minecraft "was launched. With the promotion," Zombie Planting "will become more and more popular. This is a long time ago. It is expected that future casual games will dominate the market in the form of tower defense. By the way, how is the progress of Toby ’s team recently? I am looking forward to the intelligent background of the game "Under Legend". It will be our company ’s greatest valuable asset. ”Andy asked what he was most concerned about. To be honest, although he was also a graduate of IT major in his previous life, there is basically only a simple recognition of artificial intelligence Knowing that he has been deeply attracted since he re-entered the university in this world to learn this knowledge.
From the formal introduction of the subject of artificial intelligence in 1956, until now, humans have made great progress in the subject of artificial intelligence in 50 years, but they are just standing at the door and want machines to think like humans, and There is a long way to go. The baidu brain that passed through the previous rabbit country is already a program of top artificial intelligence in the world.
Andy is very clear that he wants to study artificial intelligence. The huge data flow is fundamental. The data model built by Baidu based on the human brain is the most reliable in his opinion. This is also the rabbit country's later ranking in artificial intelligence. A very important factor.
This is the science. Some inventions can decide whether to succeed or fail in the initial guessing framework.
Andy believes that the game "Under the Legend" is the best opportunity to cut into artificial intelligence. It can make complex intelligent programs in the form of games, and then bring it to the market. Through the huge base of gamers, create countless kinds of games. During the customs clearance process, collecting data and constructing data models to improve artificial intelligence, this will undoubtedly save a lot of time and manpower and material resources.
Of course, the laboratory to be established is still to be established, but at that time it will be carried out by his research team. Before that, he also needs to launch an excellent data acquisition software to increase the advantage in artificial intelligence research and development. .
"Oh, boss, Toby is getting a little crazy now, he has made a simple demo version, and then brought his team members through the customs every day to collect data, the effect is obvious, and it has a lot Progress, but this still can't satisfy him. He has installed this game on the company's computers, hoping that all members of the company will come to pass the level. The four or five level game, played all day, is really trying to push people. crazy..."
"Well, you have to understand Toby. Developing this game requires a lot of data for calculation. Different choices will lead to different development of the plot, and different NPC contacts will get different customs clearance directions. This is A great game that tells people in the company to help collect data as much as possible without affecting work and rest. "Andy understands Toby's helplessness, after all, his group consists of a dozen people, even if Doing nothing is just to verify the possible progress in the game's customs clearance process, and it is just a slap in the bucket. No wonder he has done this game for ten years.
"Okay boss, I know what to do ..."
After hearing Carlisle's answer, Andy asked, "Have you received a call from Alvitrie? In the next period of time, I hope you can cooperate as much as possible with the promotion of the game company. You can also be in San Francisco Interviewed a few more times, I can moderately disclose the company's operations and profitability to the media. Time is running out. I need the game company's valuation to reach a new height. "
"I understand that I will cooperate well. After a period of time, after the first" Zombie Planting "money is credited, I think the company's valuation in the eyes of the third evaluation agency will increase again. Boss, can you start? Making a 3D game and officially entering the home game market, I think the diversification of the company's games will help the company's valuation increase. "
Andy groaned slightly. He was very enthusiastic about Carlisle's proposal to make a 3d game. He no longer lived in the United States and couldn't understand how big the family game market was. This is the main game with Rabbit Country. He has the same status. He is no stranger to console games. Of course, he is not familiar with them. He has played several classic games. Before, because his game company lacked a 3D game engine, he was familiar with several console games. Can only stay in his mind.
With the acquisition of a 3D game company, the problem of the game engine has also been resolved, and it is indeed time to launch the first console game.
"I have a story here, which is very suitable for making a console game. I also have some good ideas. I will sort it out first, and I will return to the company to have a meeting to study it."
Andy's words made Carlisle very happy. You must know that the current mocking bird game company is really impressed by the creativity of its boss. Looking at the company's almost rapid development, each employee can witness a great event in person. Company is growing with great pride and pride.
Now that the boss has a new idea, Carlisle can imagine how excited the 3D game development department will be.
"That's great! To be honest, now the young guys of the company are all looking forward to your new ideas from the boss. I think how excited they are after knowing this news. Since the acquisition of the 3d game company was split, the current 3D The only job of the game development department is to improve and improve the game engine, because I have been to me many times for new projects. "
Andy listened to Carlisle's euphemistic compliments, and his mood was still very good. With his continuous success, whether it is his employees or the American public, even the least journalists are now very few. Let's talk about his age, especially the kind of distrust and doubt when the newspaper was acquired. As the "Observer" turned into profit and sales volume, its influence expanded, and it not only hit the face of some media fiercely. , Also established his upstart status in the publishing industry.
The lunch at noon was the meeting between Andy and the well-known Time Magazine reporter Zakaria who was about to give him an exclusive interview. They were familiar with each other, and also communicated about some interview questions. Do n’t because of some problems. Make each other embarrassed.
After chatting with Carlisle for a while, Andy hung up the phone, at the same time, the red light on the answering machine flashed a few times.
"Boss, I need to leave for a while. Attorney Hank asked me to sign a new labor contract ..."
"Okay, I see, you go!" Andy said with a meaningful smile on Tory Blair's slightly trembling voice in the answering machine.
"Thank you, boss!" Tori hung up the phone, and couldn't hide the excitement on his face. He took out his makeup mirror and took a left and right photo, took out his lipstick and put it on the side again. "Woo!" Take a deep breath and fasten the second button on the neckline of the shirt. After all, she showed the gully to her boss. Others didn't have this treatment, but she was a little careful.
Stepping on seven-point heels, twisting her waist and hips, she walked quickly to the office of the Legal Department, where her future was.
