Chapter 63: Hurry Up and Prepare Your Resignation Letter!

Making the decision to launch globally was simple, but the actual work required was far more complex than it seemed.

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and sent WeChat message to Chen Wei, planning to ask him to come over for a quick discussion when he was free.

Less than three minutes after he sent the message, Chen Wei pushed open the door to his office from outside.

“Fish Ge , you wanted me?”

After entering, Chen Wei didn’t bother with formalities; he sat down directly across from him and glanced at him curiously.

“Take a look at the report Cai Qiu sent first, then I’ll explain.”

After Qin Xiaoyu finished speaking, he forwarded the email Cai Qiu had sent him to Chen Wei’s inbox.

“Alright.”

Chen Wei nodded, quickly scrolled through the message on his phone, and after a while, a hint of delight appeared on his face.

“Looks like this guy didn’t waste time outside—he actually got something done. By the way, Fish Ge , you’re showing me this because you’re planning to…”

Chen Wei didn’t finish his sentence—he had already guessed Qin Xiaoyu’s intention.

“You’re right.”

Qin Xiaoyu’s expression remained calm, his tone steady: “Cai Qiu’s advertising campaign is nearly complete, and with the hype from this collaboration with Kentucky.”

The timing for Genshin Impact’s overseas launch is now ripe.

I plan to launch the game globally next month. What do you think?”

Hype comes fast and fades fast—if we delay too long, players’ curiosity and novelty will wear off.

Especially for a game like ours, with zero user base, relying solely on short-term ad bombardment.

In fact,

Qin Xiaoyu could have made this strategic decision without consulting Cai Qiu or Chen Wei, but since they were partners, he respected them enough to seek their input.

After listening to Qin Xiaoyu, Chen Wei paused briefly, then said with concern: “Fish Ge , I’m not opposing your decision, but we’re not ready yet—this feels too rushed.”

“I know.”

Qin Xiaoyu stood up from his chair, poured himself a cup of warm water, took a sip, then continued:

“That’s why I called you in—I’m swamped with other tasks right now, so I need you to go to Yuncheng University tomorrow and organize a recruitment fair.”

Also, reach out to our old classmates we used to play with—see if anyone’s willing to join. It’s safer to work with people we know.”

At this point, funding isn’t a major obstacle for launching Genshin Impact globally.

The real problem remains manpower—an issue that still gives Qin Xiaoyu serious headaches.

Although the studio’s team has grown past a hundred people, that’s barely enough to handle just the Xiaoguo server.

There’s no way we can spare additional staff to manage overseas operations.

According to Qin Xiaoyu’s estimate, the team needs to expand to at least five hundred just to barely function.

And

Among them, some must have prior experience in game operations.

“Organizing the recruitment fair isn’t hard, but getting our old classmates to join will be tough—they’re doing fine where they are, so why would they come?”

Chen Wei shook his head. “We’ll just try. Those guys from the dorms next door and across the hall—we heard they’re doing pretty well now.”

“We can offer slightly higher salaries. Those big companies were just trying to poach talent from us with high pay.”

Poaching talent in the gaming industry is extremely common.
