Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 573 Looking back suddenly, the boat has experienced thousands of sails

On February 2, after Wang Xing arranged everything, he specially took a day to attend the annual meeting of his parent company.

Why is it one day? Because under Chen Hao's arrangement, this group's annual meeting has special significance.

The 17th, 22nd and 23rd floors of Guomao Phase II welcomed their former owners.

In fact, since last year, when Chen Hao and others were investing in real estate, they asked someone to find some connections and spent money to buy these three floors and build them into a group exhibition hall.

It has been nearly eight years since the establishment of Century Zongheng. All the events in the process, large and small, have been recorded through video images or photo reports. The three-story walls are covered with history and glorious moments that have happened.

On April 2002, 4, Century Zongheng Company was established with only four co-founders and no employees. The photo is a group photo of Chen Hao, Lin Lang, Xu Pengkun and Pang Ban, arm in arm at the gate of China World Trade Center, looking high-spirited and youthful.

On June 2002, 6, Century Zongheng reached a cooperation with Webzen and obtained the exclusive agency rights of "Miracle" in China, and has witnessed the miracle since then.

On June 2002, 6, Century Zongheng conducted its first external recruitment at the National Exhibition. During two days, a total of 8 like-minded partners joined.

On August 2002, 8, the online game "Miracle" was released to public beta, with 8 online users on the first day, breaking various online game records.

On September 2002, 9, Taoyoubao was launched, becoming the first online virtual props trading platform in China.

In January 2003, Century Interactive Entertainment, now known as the game aircraft carrier, was established, and Century Zongheng transformed into a group model.

In 2004, YY went online and the social game "Century Farm" led the people to steal food.

In 2005, the first goddess competition

In 2006, YY Good Voice.

In 2007, Orange Technology held a press conference.

2008, 4Q war

In 2009, acquired Blizzard

In 2010, we acquired (part of) Shanda, and we are still on the road

Century Zongheng employees were curious to see the photos and introductions on the walls, and discussed and shared their experiences with each other.

"Wow, the chairman was so immature back then."

"Who said otherwise? It turns out that a thousand-year-old iceberg like Mr. Pang can actually laugh."

"Looking at the introduction above, it turns out that there were only four people when the company was established."

These people were watching as they walked, and then they saw a group photo of hundreds of people building a century on the wall.

"Hey, it means my mother delayed me by a few years, otherwise I would be in this photo too."

"That's for sure. Are you just saying 'come to Century and work for three years, and you won't be short of money for a RV'?"

"You don't want to pay the full amount? My wife said that the loan affects the quality of life."

"It was only after watching the goddess competition that I decided to apply for the DBA (database administrator) position of our Century Zongheng."

"Every one of them counts. Nowadays, everyone who remains in the group is a core manager. I guess they all have free wealth, right?"

"The group provides an interest-free loan of RMB 30. If you don't get a car at this time, you will get one. I have looked at the trends and estimate that housing prices will rise faster next year."

"I saw our boss here. It turns out he entered the company so early."

"Did you see the development prospects of Century Yuan Community at that time?"

"But the housing prices have risen so outrageously. At the beginning of this year, they almost doubled compared to last year. Hey, Xiao Liu, did you buy the house after all the noise?"

"That's not the case, I'm just not angry. Why is Liu Yifei not the ultimate goddess? What I thought at the time was that Vivian Chow must be the personal preference of Boss Century, and there must be some secret operation behind it. I want to bring order to my goddess."

"and after?"

"Only after I came in did I realize that I had been cheated. Even the DBA had no authority to change any data. Fortunately, the public was discerning, and the third Little Dragon Girl became a goddess by everyone's expectations."

<divclass="contentadv">On the other side, they were chatting and laughing. In the spacious hall on the other side, all the employees who came in were blinded by the medals, trophies, certificates, plaques, and banners in the room.

When Liu Yonghao came to the honor showroom again, his eyes were full of emotion, as if he had returned to the time when he was a small human resources supervisor. Then he dismissed the original explainer and personally introduced it to all the employees present.

"This is the honor room of our group. Over the years, the group has won all the honors of Outstanding Enterprise of the Year, Representative of Chinese Entrepreneurs, Leaders, Top Ten Online Games, etc. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a grand slam. Let's take a look first. .”

"Actually, there are two things that I would like to share that have left a deep impression on me. Everyone looks up at the banners hanging on the wall."

Many employees were a little confused when they saw the words on the banner about "Entong Rebuilding", "Hanging Pots to Help the World", "Saving Lives and Healing the Wounded", and Hua Tuo is still alive.

"This has to mention the feat of the big boss at that time. At that time, he faced a group of capital tycoons alone. He was quite heroic even though tens of millions of people went there. You have never seen that scene. Oh, the wall next to the door There are relevant reports on the Internet. You can read it later and you will know what it means to win the hearts of the people and win the world."

"At that time, I was still a human resources manager, and I was training new employees like this today. It was early in the morning, like 8 o'clock. As soon as I walked in, guess what, the big boss was sitting here like me, with a look of compassion on his face. We were encouraged as we were still new at the time. Anyway, we later decided to use 10% of the group’s revenue for charity.”

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the reason for this move.

The center of the 22nd floor is the game layout of Century Interactive Entertainment.

The Classic Interactive Entertainment Project Department and its subsidiary Big Dipper Studio are scattered all over the place, each with their own masterpieces, relying on Arctic Studio’s Century Game Engine.

The game business has blossomed all over the world, covering five continents and ten countries. It also acquired Blizzard and established Century Blizzard, taking over the entire Blizzard family.

The entire game industry over the years has been summarized and organized, divided into two branches according to agency and self-research, and listed according to the timeline.

Century Interactive Entertainment: "Miracle", "Ragnarok RO", "Bubble Hall", "Legendary 3", "Kart Runner", "Audition", "Dungeon Fighter", "Cross Fire"

Self-research: "Three Kingdoms", "Three Kingdoms OL", "Martial Arts OL", "Martial Arts World", "Glory of Heroes", "Alliance of Gods".

Other mini-games: "Fruit Killing", "Angry Chicken", "Big Fish Eat Little Fish", "Soar to the Sky", "Century Match Game", "Plants vs. Zombies", "Fishing Battle".

On the road: original auto chess gameplay, battle royale mode, UGC "Minecraft", and family-friendly "Fruit Clash".

A whole long wall introduces the phenomenal impact and remarkable achievements of major games.

Zhou Xiao, the head of Century Interactive Entertainment, and Lu Tao, CTO, as participants in the historical process, explained to everyone the hardships and glory along the way.

Century Interactive Entertainment is like a roundworm in the stomach of players. It knows better than the players what games they like to play, and they never miss a beat.

Each work makes the concept of "Produced in the century must be a high-quality product!" deeply rooted in the hearts of players.

This completely impossible thing was right in front of people's eyes, which shocked them beyond measure. It turned out that they were working for a company that could even be called a miracle.

On weekdays, everyone knows that their company is awesome, so it’s so hard to focus on showing and explaining so much.

+1, +1, +1

The collective sense of honor, belonging and loyalty above each employee's head are rising steadily.

With the cooperation of the bosses and veteran employees of various departments, similar scenes were staged one after another in the exhibition areas of Century Media, Century Security, Century Juhard, Century Jian, etc.

Online games, Taobao, 17173, 4399, hao123, Century Ji'an Charity, Century.com, Century Weibo, Century Security Guards, YY, YY Live, Orange Science and Technology Bureau, Jingdong West. Even Meituan.com, which has been at the forefront recently.

Century Zongheng Group rides on every node of the domestic Internet development wave, rides the wind and waves, and goes straight to the sea!

All employees were baptized at the spiritual level, allowing them to see clearly for the first time what a great company they were working for.

Suddenly looking back, they discovered that the Century Zongheng Group's tentacles had reached every corner of the Internet and had become a behemoth.
