Four-thirty in the afternoon is the time when workers are most physically and mentally exhausted during the day.
When your body is weak and weak, turn on your mobile phone to check your bank balance and various loan repayments. Then, those who are married should think about their parents and wives, and those who are not married should think about the betrothal gift of an RV.
Suddenly my anus tightened and I felt energetic, feeling that I could fight for another five hundred years!
When the inner pressure is too high, physical stimulation will not work. 'Magic' ultimately requires 'magic' to counter it.
Gossip and keyboard warrior, these two stress-reducing magics, have become the most popular thing at the moment.
As the saying goes, I didn’t want to be a keyboard warrior, but life was too difficult. Why not ride on the wind together and eat the dregs in the sky.
Ever since, some employees in a certain game company stretched themselves out and started a daily debate journey on Weibo and Zhihu on their fingertips.
Others chatted about recent hot topics in the company's corporate group.
"Hey, have you all bought "Cyberpunk 3077"?"
"If you don't buy it, wouldn't it be nice to smoke Zhongli?"
"What a waste, I'm saving money for a hair transplant. For my future girlfriend, I'm going to change from the Mediterranean Sea to the Aegean Sea!"
"Speaking of my girlfriend, when I was pretending to be sick and taking leave a few days ago, I saw Brother Fei on the street. He seems to have found a super beautiful girlfriend! She looks like a star even without makeup!"
"Yes, I saw it when I skipped work and went shopping that day, but I didn't dare to recognize it at the time!"
"Huh? Brother Fei, this traitor, agreed that we would all be single until we grow old together."
"It's real or fake. Do you have any photos? I mean, you skipped work and pretended to be sick and you dared to post it to a large group. Be careful if Boss Qiu sees it and your wages will be deducted, haha~"
So-and-so’s message was withdrawn… So-and-so also withdrew…
Expression: Dog head saves life...
"..." Qiu Guo silently took a sip of tea in the CEO's office, staring at the screen with a pair of dead eyes, thinking that I had already seen it.
You guys, you guys, keep talking about games, pretending to be sick, and running away at work, all in your little notebook! Let you experience the beauty of numbers during the year-end award!
After closing the group chat window, Qiu Guo silently opened an electronic document, which was a translation quotation list that his assistant had recently compiled.
Prices range from the cheapest, 60 yuan per thousand words, to 300 yuan per thousand words.
Qiu Guo rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache.
In the past few days, I have used my personal connections to even look for film and television companies, and only this kind of useless information came back.
It’s not that he thinks it’s expensive, he thinks it’s too cheap! It feels so bad to have money but not be able to spend it!
Game plot is a waste of money, but if the gameplay itself is good enough, excellent plot and world view can greatly extend the life cycle of the game.
This is all money. Although the cost is also very expensive, it is worth it!
The level of 300 words per 1,000 words is actually not low in the market, but it is still not enough for an excellent plot. He wants about 500 words.
The lower one is not enough, and the higher one is not necessary, because the target customer group is not from the literary and art circles, and the five hundred is just right.
Now I can no longer afford to delay, and I have a game on hand ready to be launched in April.
Even though there are still five months left, it will take time to translate the five languages, and it will also take time to configure it into the game.
The most critical thing is dubbing. You must have a translation before you can arrange foreign voice actors. This time cycle is too long.
For today's plan, there are only two ways in front of us.
Or, just find something with a few tens of words in a thousand words, and translate it normally, giving up the player’s humanistic experience.
Or, spend a lot of money to hire the most famous translator, but the cost and time are a bit excessive, and the text volume of a good game will be hundreds of thousands of words less.
With a wave of your golden finger, a thousand words are worth two thousand yuan. Translated into five languages, these millions of dollars will go out. Then it is estimated that we may not be able to hire a few such big guys, so the game must be postponed.
Qiu Guo tilted his neck back and leaned on the office chair, feeling a little irritated.
He grabbed a thin cigarette and was just about to smoke it secretly at the window when he heard a knock on the door outside.
"Mr. Qiu, is it convenient for you?" Assistant Xiao Tao's voice came into my ears.
"Please come in." Qiu Guo put the cigarette into his pocket.
The property manager came to him a few days ago to reprimand him about this matter, and Xiao Tao also warned him not to smoke in the office for a long time.
Although he is the boss, the image he has established in the company over the years is that of a good old man and a charm-driven management model.
This is something you have to pretend for a lifetime, and you can't ignore one thing and lose the other just because of a cigarette.
"Mr. Qiu, the translation test results you requested this morning are back."
Xiao Tao happily picked up a stack of A4 paper, and the ponytail on the back of her head shook a few times, which was incompatible with her regular workplace suit.
"The test results I want?"
Qiu Guo thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember what it was. He was very busy all day long and was not impressed by many insignificant things.
It must have been introduced by some friend as an amateur translator, and then he arranged the test to save face?
"Okay, you put it here."
Qiu Guo pretended to stare at the quotation list on the screen and think about it, put his hand in his pocket to fumble for the cigarette he had just had, and waited for Xiao Tao to go out.
"Mr. Qiu, don't you take a look? The test results this time were all given a high rating of A+ by the three-party review." Xiao Tao reminded.
She had been employed for two years and knew a lot about the boss's temperament. It was obvious that she didn't understand his attitude just now, so she warned him.
Well, a good assistant should come into play at this time. Xiao Tao is very satisfied with his emotional intelligence.
"Are they all A+ ratings?" Qiu Guo was surprised and quickly picked up the document and looked at it.
The three-party review refers to the joint evaluation by the Ministry of Commerce, the R&D Department and the cooperative third-party company to ensure the fairness of the review.
The highest rating of the test results is S, but this is a no-brainer unless you find a well-known person in the industry to translate it beyond the original text.
And A+ means that while perfectly restoring the original text, it also helped to adjust some word order structures and inappropriate words.
He looked at the test subject's signature at the bottom of the document, Lei Yin. Agent, Xu Fei.
Qiu Guo remembered that she mentioned this matter when she and Xiao Fei were talking about investing in independent games this morning.
At that time, I casually asked the overseas operation to send a test, but I didn't take it seriously at all.
But no, it’s too fast!
Can you translate test questions into five languages in one afternoon? This guy's 'friends' are actually a team.
But it doesn’t matter who it is, what’s important is that it can guarantee quality and speed.
"Xiao Tao, go and ask Xu Fei from the operation side how long it took to reply to the email?" Qiu Guo said suddenly.
When Xiao Tao heard this, he turned around and ran out.
Not long after, she ran back panting and said: "Qiu, Mr. Qiu, half an hour!"
"Huh? Half an hour?"
Qiu Guo opened his mouth and frowned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Isn't this a joke? Is your friend possessed by Leonardo da Vinci?
He thought for a while, took out his cell phone and called Xu Fei.
"Hey, Xiao Fei. It's me, Lao Qiu."
"I received the test questions and the evaluation is very good. Are you and your friend free tomorrow?"
"That's it. Tomorrow our company will reserve a space for team building at the Panshi Gym. You can bring your friends over in the morning. We can meet and chat."
"Lunch? I've never asked you to pay for it before! Don't worry, all food, drinks and fun are included."
"Hmm, if appropriate, sign the outsourcing contract directly."
"Independent game? You can talk about that later. You still need to hold a shareholders' meeting to approve it. Let's finalize the translation first."
"Xiao Fei, I have a meeting here soon. I won't talk to you now. Let's have an interview tomorrow. Goodbye."
Click, without giving Xu Fei a chance to hesitate, Qiu Guo found an excuse and hung up the phone.
Then he looked at Xiao Tao and said, "Ask the R&D department to give me a copy of the previously translated plot document."
"Then notify Lao Cui and ask him to come over tomorrow. Can't he speak Fusang and French? He can help test Xu Fei's friends on the spot."
Xiao Tao hesitated and asked weakly: "Mr. Qiu...Didn't Brother Cui just break the stone and take a vacation? Is it appropriate to call him..."
Qiu Guo said angrily: "Xiao Tao, let me tell you, the pain of a stone is as painful as giving birth to a child. Once it is broken into pieces, it will be no different from a normal person. Lao Cui is just on vacation."
Xiao Tao showed admiration and complimented: "Wow, Mr. Qiu, you know so much."
Qiu Guo walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with a smile, looking at the scenery in the distance with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with sadness.
As a man who is always in poor health and has been broken three times, can I not understand?
