Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 844: Chapter 803: Lincoln: Are You Sure? _1

Cloud Dream actually started giving their employees staggered holidays from yesterday.

It’s just that “Pokémon” had just started the non-deletion test yesterday, and everyone was focused on the game, so naturally they didn’t notice the dynamics within Cloud Dream.

Of course, this is also because the first batch of employees who took holidays were the operation teams of several previous games, not the front-line game development teams.

But today even the “Pokémon” development team began to take a massive leave, leaving only a few maintenance members.

And these remaining employees will also be on holiday after three days.

-By that time, the game should be basically stable, and they can naturally go home for New Year.

But in fact, they haven’t completely let go of their worries.

Even if Lincoln said, “You can leave it to me if there’s a problem,” the members of the development team have also prepared for overtime in the virtual world during the holidays.

The administrative department where Quentina is located has also entered the holiday rhythm.

Before the holiday, Quentina asked Lincoln, “Shall we have a New Year’s party first, and then start the holiday after the party?”

But Lincoln told her, “The best New Year’s party is to take time off early and go home.”

Especially after the annual bonuses have been issued.

Anyway, Cloud Dream doesn’t need to use New Year’s party to enhance the cohesion of the company, Lincoln has a better way.

Cloud Dream’s administrative department has sent a greeting card and gift money to all employees’ family members.

No matter what position, the gift money is the same, fifty thousand for each family member.

This expenditure is just a drop in the bucket for Cloud Dream.

For employees in the game development department and middle and senior management, it’s not a big money, but for positions such as administration, operations, headquarters customer service, etc., this is already a nice reward.

-After all, it’s a another bonus after the annual bonus.

Accompanied with the gift money are the greeting cards written by Lincoln, all in the same format, only with slight variations in the use of pronouns and wording.

The most interesting thing is: the parents of Intern Camille Victoria, the eternal intern, also received two gift money and greeting cards-

[Your daughter is doing a job that is changing the world, and she is doing an outstanding job, more than 400 million people around the world are looking forward to her new creation.]

[Thank you for bringing up such an excellent daughter. Cloud Dream is honored to work with her. ]

[Wish you good health and a happy New Year. ]

[——Lincoln]

The format is exactly the same as the greeting cards received by other game development staff. If you have to find a difference, it is that these two greeting cards are completely handwritten.

Unlike the greeting cards for other hundreds of employees’ family members, after handwriting, they were printed uniformly and Lincoln only signed at the end.

But even so, employees are already very moved.

Everyone knows: if it wasn’t for a last resort, the boss would rather spend every day leisurely slacking off.

Now, while managing game development and aerospace training, he also took the time to sign hundreds of greeting cards, which is already very difficult!

For the employees of Cloud Dream, their work is valuable and can get massive player feedback; their efforts are rewarded with industry-leading remuneration and bonuses for the launch of new games; their personal characters are respected. Under Lincoln’s requirements and leading by example, everyone has different work divisions, and their personal characters will never be aggrieved. Now even their families are taken care of.

There is no better job in the world than at Cloud Dream!

So one hates to take a holiday for New Year, and just wants to live in the company and work overtime.

The cohesion is evident.

Why would they still need a “New Year’s party” event to enhance cohesion?

*

In this way, the employees of Cloud Dream happily went home for the New Year, but the players were a bit in uproar!

“Are you starting your holiday now? What about the update of ‘Pokémon’? This is still a non-deletion test! What if there is a bug!?”

“Are you taking your vacation now? What about Chang’an? Give me my superpowers! I don’t want to squat in jail anymore!”

“Where is the New Year’s event? How can a game company not have a New Year’s event?”

…

Players cannot accept it.

They are still working overtime, how can Cloud Dream start taking vacations?

Lincoln had just got off from a training chair that can rotate 360 degrees at high intensity, and he vomited a bag the moment he got down.

Danny poured fuel on the fire next to him: “It’s only been 3 minutes, this won’t work. The pass standard is to keep spinning for 15 minutes without vomiting, and you can normally operate basic spacecraft operations after getting off.”

Lincoln, who was dizzy from vomiting, immediately waved his hand, indicating that he needed to rest for 10 minutes.

Danny nodded and stopped talking.

After resting for a while, Lincoln took out his mobile phone, intending to distract himself, and happened to see the complaints of players, so he casually sent a response-

[What? Didn’t I mention it? The New Year’s events is the New Year’s events. Why else make such a big scene for the Gregorian calendar 2030?]

Lincoln was full of confidence.

But the players are even more unacceptable-

“January 23 is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the New Year’s event starts on December 23, so are you celebrating the Spring Festival a whole month in advance???”

“Listen to this! Is this human speech?”

“No! We do not accept!”

…

Peter, the lead singer of the Digital Reserve Team, messaged Lincoln privately, “Should we have another New Year’s concert?”

Lincoln responded decisively: “Stay put, didn’t you sing enough last time?”

Of course Peter was not satisfied, but he didn’t continue bothering Lincoln – he knew very well that the New Year’s event that players wanted definitely wasn’t listening to their concerts…

Better to stay out of it and focus on building the space elevator.

Lincoln posted again: [It’s New Year, are you sure you want to use the New Year’s holiday to play games too?]

The players responded immediately:

“Of course we’re sure!”

“Because the New Year’s holiday is long enough, it’s the perfect time to play games!”

“Exactly! We’re too busy on normal days, all fragmented time, it’s not fun to play at all.”

…

Lincoln seems to have listened to the players’ opinions carefully, and responded to the post:

[Alright then.]

This response made the players excited at once:

“I knew the boss Lincoln has a conscience and can hear the voices of players! Do it fast, do it fast!”

“Knowing your employees have holidays, it’s not good to pull them back. Just reprint the previous events!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Freedom Day! I want the Champion’s Sword!”

“Can the Dinosaur Island Landing Battle be reprinted? We want to play as well!”

“Extraordinary Battlefield! I didn’t get the Weapon Storage Box last time, let’s reprint it this New Year’s holiday!”

“I don’t care, just do it quickly, faster.”

…

It seemed to sense the players’ urgency, and half an hour later, Lincoln didn’t bubble, but Cloud Dream’s official account posted a new post.

The players excitedly clicked in, wanting to see what Cloud Dream would come up with for everyone to play during the New Year.

Unexpectedly, what Cloud Dream posted was not the New Year’s event announcement that everyone thought, but-

The ultimate trailer of “Chang’an”!

And…

Countdown to release!
