The programmer and his woman

As the game courses become more in-depth, students have begun to produce a large number of high-quality game works. In addition, with the popularity of smart phones and the rapid development of mobile Internet technology, more and more users are beginning to rely on mobile phones for daily life, work and entertainment.

The increase in popularity and dependence has provided huge market demand for mobile value-added services, resulting in an explosive growth in the market size of mobile value-added services. Mobile value-added service providers have developed and prospered rapidly like mushrooms after a rain, and the demand for talent has also shown a rapid growth trend.

This not only helps the graduating students find jobs, but also helps the outstanding graduation works they created during their time at school to unexpectedly find a market. Mobile value-added service providers actively cooperate with us to enrich their products and maximize profits, either by purchasing directly or sharing indirect profits. It can be said that as long as the game quality is good, there will be value-added service providers who will actively come to us to buy it.

Jobs have already booked students' products before they even graduate, and some even earn money from their tuition fees by making games themselves while in school. As the number of cooperating manufacturers increases and the scope becomes wider, new problems arise. More partners need to sign cooperation agreements or sales contracts with us, but my students and I are only individuals and cannot sign these contracts with them.

It seemed that I was at a loss for this problem for the time being. However, I suddenly thought of going to the principal for help. So I explained the problem to him in detail. Unexpectedly, the principal was overjoyed after listening to me.

"Teacher Wang, although you don't have the relevant qualifications, don't worry, our school does have them! You can use the qualifications of the school's research institute to sign a contract with the other party. Wait a moment, I will arrange for someone to give you all the relevant information." The principal said enthusiastically.

At this time, I couldn't hold back my excitement and asked anxiously, "Then, President, can I now officially establish the game studio of our research institute?"

The principal nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course! When promoting it to the outside world, just call it the 'Research Institute Game Studio'. This will give you an advantage when negotiating business with other companies in the future. Moreover, with this qualification, your studio's strength will be more easily recognized and trusted by others."

Then, I asked cautiously: "So, if there is a profit in the business, how will it be distributed with our research institute?"

The principal waved his hand and said passionately: "Teacher Wang, you have solved a big problem for the school by doing this! All the profits earned will belong to your team, and the research institute will not participate in the profit sharing. The money will be kept in the institute's account and you can withdraw it at any time as long as you need it."

"Oh, thank you so much, Principal!" I said excitedly.

"Teacher Wang, you don't have to thank me. I should thank you." The principal said with a smile. I was a little confused by his sudden gratitude.

I looked at the principal in confusion, and he continued, "Look, our school is now enrolling more and more students, and its reputation is getting better and better. Students can quickly find their dream jobs after graduation, and your hard work and unremitting efforts are behind this. Moreover, you have created such a unique game studio, allowing students to participate in practice while learning, and even solve part of the tuition problem through their own talents and efforts. Such measures not only provide students with valuable practical opportunities, but also greatly enhance their employment competitiveness. If we continue to develop like this, our school is fully capable of advertising free training and employment packages to attract more students to study."

"Free training?" I asked in surprise. It was indeed an exciting idea.

The principal nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course. Aren't there many excellent graduation works of students in your game studio? With a little processing and promotion, these works can generate commercial value. In fact, I heard that several students have earned back their tuition fees in this way. This is so inspiring! The school will fully support your work, and you must continue to work hard to make the game studio bigger and stronger. I believe that as the studio continues to grow and develop, it will become a bright business card of our school, attracting more students to come and study."

The principal continued excitedly, "Yes, it's called Game Dream Factory! This name implies our goal, to allow everyone who loves game making to realize their dreams here. Moreover, as the studio expands in size and its influence increases, it may change from a simple teaching place to a comprehensive platform integrating training, research and development, and commercial operations. By then, it may no longer be called a game studio, but will be renamed Game Dream Factory or Game Factory. Well, that's good, today's advertisement will be like this." While sighing about the bright future of the school, the principal also reminded me, "Teacher Wang, you must speed up the implementation of your game studio, strengthen team building, and seek more cooperation opportunities. You can do it boldly and the school will give you more resource support. As the person in charge of the studio, you must always be sensitive and forward-looking to the industry. I believe that in the near future our school and the game factory will surely go hand in hand."

The principal's words strengthened my confidence in making the game studio bigger and stronger. When the game studio was officially established, we knew that recruiting talents was the key to success. We firmly believed in the principle of "good things should not be taken away from outsiders", so we decided to select team members from the existing outstanding students.

First of all, we were very lucky to find the student who is good at optimizing program algorithms. His outstanding performance has always impressed us, especially the question about the running speed of judgment and selection statements in class, which showed his keen insight into technical details and thirst for knowledge. He is not only the best student in this batch of students, but his graduation work also reflects the comprehensive application and in-depth understanding of the knowledge he has learned. His professional skills and rigorous work attitude make him a core member of our studio's technical team.

Next, we recruited the student from the Academy of Fine Arts, who had a solid foundation in painting and a unique artistic perspective. Before the establishment of the game studio, he had provided us with many high-quality game image resources. After his modification and replacement, the quality of the game images was significantly improved. His joining brought our game a higher visual enjoyment and stronger appeal, making our game more competitive in the market.

In addition, we have found a very creative game planner. He has shown his love for the game industry and unlimited creativity since he entered school. He constantly puts forward new ideas and creativity, providing a constant source of inspiration and creative support for the studio. His active thinking, innovation and teamwork ability make him an indispensable member of our studio.

As the head of the studio, I now play more of a business negotiator role. In addition to my daily lectures, I spend a lot of time communicating and cooperating with value-added service providers. Some service providers want to customize their favorite games, and I will plan and arrange projects according to their needs. Some service providers directly purchase the games we have made, buy them out once and then operate them online. Of course, some service providers choose to cooperate with us to share profits, share risks and share benefits because of their weak financial strength.

It is worth mentioning that as our studio's cooperation with scientific research institutes continues to deepen, our technical strength and market competitiveness have been further enhanced. More and more service providers have begun to trust us and start cooperative projects with us. This not only brings us more business opportunities, but also lays a solid foundation for the future development of our studio.

In a blink of an eye, nearly two years have passed since the first class. During this period, we have witnessed the rapid development of the school, from the initial one class to more than a dozen classes now. Our student group has also grown like a snowball, cultivating several waves of energetic and creative students.

At such a moment full of harvest and joy, Teacher Qi found me. His eyes were full of joy and expectation, as if he saw that the results of our joint efforts were about to usher in a new chapter.

"Apprentice, we have done a great job during this period." Teacher Qi's voice was full of praise and satisfaction. He told me that after careful consideration, the institute decided to separate our part of the industry from the original institute and set up an independent company. This means that we will have more autonomy and decision-making power, and can conduct business more flexibly and promote the development of the company.

When I heard the news, I was filled with indescribable excitement and pride. This is the best affirmation of our efforts over the past two years and a great expectation for our future development. What made me even more delighted was that Teacher Qi told me that due to the outstanding performance of my studio during this period, my business would be included in the new company, and I would also hold shares in the company and become one of the company's shareholders.

"The shareholders of the company will be you, me, Mr. Gao, the principal, the dean and Mr. Kong." Mr. Qi's words made me feel honored and responsible. I know that becoming a shareholder of the company not only means that I will enjoy the dividends of the company's development, but also means that I will bear more responsibilities and obligations.

I know all the teachers that Master mentioned, but I heard of the Dean and Teacher Kong for the first time. What role do they play in our project? "I asked curiously.

Teacher Qi smiled and explained: "The dean and Teacher Kong are the largest shareholders of our project. The dean is the head of the entire institute, and he is in charge of the direction and resources of the entire institute. And Teacher Kong, although she looks young, has rich experience in managing companies, and most importantly, she also manages the company's finances."

"Oh, I see." I nodded, and the image of the old man with white hair and extraordinary temperament emerged in my mind. "Is it the old man with white hair and wise appearance sitting in the office that I see every time I pass by?"

"Yes, it's him." Teacher Qi confirmed with a smile.

"What about Teacher Kong? I remember she was the woman sitting next to the old man. She did look very seductive, but she also had an extraordinary temperament." I tried to recall the image of Teacher Kong.

"Yes, it's her." Teacher Qi confirmed my description.

I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "What is the relationship between the two of them? Are they superiors and subordinates or partners?"

Teacher Qi immediately waved his hand to stop me: "Don't ask too much about this. These are their personal affairs. We should not know. We only need to know that they are our major shareholder and support our project."

I nodded to show my understanding. Then, I asked another question in my mind: "Master, why do we have to move out of the research institute? The environment and facilities here are very good."

Teacher Qi explained: "There are two reasons. First, we are opening more and more classes now, and the space here is not enough. Second, this is a place for scientific research. Although opening a game design class is also an innovation, it may affect the normal order and atmosphere of the research institute in the long run. Therefore, the institute decided to let us be independent and set up a special company to operate this project."

I suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand. So, after I become a shareholder of the company, doesn't that mean I will be the boss?"

Teacher Qi smiled and nodded: "Yes, you can be considered one of the shareholders of the company. You became a boss at such a young age, you can be considered a young and promising person."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in my heart. But then, Teacher Qi threw out another question that caught me off guard: "By the way, let me ask you something, do you have a partner?"

I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head: "No, Master."

Teacher Qi immediately became interested: "That's great. Let me tell you something. There is a girl in my relative's family. I think she is about your age and very pretty. I will introduce her to you one day. Maybe we can create some sparks."

I waved my hands quickly: "Master, why is it your relative again? Let's talk about this later. I'm not ready yet."

Teacher Qi seemed a little dissatisfied: "Look at you kid, what preparations are you making for a date? Men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. This is a matter of course. Let's just make it a deal. I'll introduce you to each other later."

I knew that Mr. Qi had a stubborn personality, so I had no choice but to agree. But I knew that this matter needed to be considered in the long run.
