My 1999

Xu Liang looked at the excited eyes and decided to pour cold water on them.

"I want to ask you a question, how much does the popularity of "Legend: Overlord War" have to do with you?

Did you develop it?

no.

It is a game introduced by the company from South Korea's Atos Company. The biggest credit goes to them, and you just did a simple database update and localization.

If I leave this matter to 'Dijiang Game Studio' or even other colleagues in the Internet department, I believe they can do a good job.

So, you guys ask yourself, should you be excited? Should you be proud? "

After what was said, everyone lowered their heads, and the atmosphere became silent.

"My colleagues at Dijiang Studio next door are working hard to develop their own game "Tianxia", but until now, you have not submitted a complete game development plan to me."

Xu Liang's words brought the atmosphere in the room to a freezing point.

Seeing that the heat has arrived.

Xu Liang changed the subject.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, think about it for yourselves.

In addition, the company's promise will not be invalidated, and 5% of the profit share will be given to the studio. You can choose to go out and relax, but you should also think carefully about what to do next.

Also, don’t rush to submit a game development proposal just because I criticize you.

I'm very demanding, and if you make something shoddy, I'll tear it up right in front of you. "

"Wang Tao, Wei Xiao, Wu Yahui, Liu Kun, the four of you come out with me."

The four of them looked at each other and followed out anxiously.

Come to the small conference room.

"The company plans to set up a third studio, focusing on the research and development of casual games. This is the game development plan I wrote, please take a look."

Lu Hui quickly handed out the documents that had been prepared in the briefcase to everyone.

Wang Tao and others opened it and took a look.

It says on the title page.

"Bubble Hall" development plan.

Xu Liang played many games in his previous life.

In addition to the most memorable "Legend", I have played other games such as "Miracle MU", "Warcraft", "Fantasy Westward Journey", "Journey", etc.

I still remember the casual games Bubble Hall, Kart Racing, Audition, and the famous Stealing Food.

But playing Audition is all about picking up girls.

Xu Liang waited quietly for everyone to finish reading.

"Which of you is interested?"

The four of them looked at each other. Except for Wang Tao, the other three were all interested. After all, there were not many opportunities to lead a studio.

The three of them raised their hands at the same time.

Although we usually have a good relationship, we still have to fight when it's time to fight.

"It's hard for me to choose. Well, this time when the third game studio is formed, some staff will be transferred from Jumang Studio to build the structure.

A secret ballot will be organized for everyone at Jumang Studio later. Whoever gets more votes will be responsible for the development of the Third Game Studio and "Bubble Hall". "

This is essentially a leadership issue.

Being able to unite more people means that his leadership and ability have been recognized by everyone, and the studio will be able to get on the right track quickly in the future.

The three of them nodded in agreement.

Returning to the office space of Jumang Studio again, we talked about the matter and everyone started voting.

In the end, Wei Xiao won, Wu Yahui came second, and Liu Kun came last.

“I would like to announce that Wei Xiao will be the director of the company’s third game studio, ‘Zhurong’, and Liu Kun will be the deputy director of the studio, fully responsible for the establishment of ‘Zhurong Studio’ and the development of new games.

Employees who are willing to go to Zhurong Studio can sign up voluntarily. "

Liu Kun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he could go to the new studio, and his original disappointment was reduced by most of it.

In Jumang Studio, he is number four, behind Wang Tao and others.

Now he is the second in command and is better than before.

After Wei Xiao and Liu Kun left, the deputy director of Jumang Studio became Wu Yahui, who also moved up one spot.

"Okay, you can handle the rest yourself.

Mr. Wu, let’s go. "

After arriving at Xu Liang's CEO's office, he asked Wu Xifan to sit down.

"Old Wu, during the recent period, I have seen that the employees of the two studios have used their free time to develop a lot of casual games. So I plan to let your game department take the lead and recruit some programmers to develop a game hall."

Hongmeng Company has a rule that 20% of working hours per day can be freely used by employees.

In addition, many employees often work overtime voluntarily when doing what they like.

With enough time, many small games were developed.

For example, chess, backgammon, chess, and slightly more complex stand-alone games such as violent motorcycles.

Most of these games are for employees' self-entertainment, and it is difficult to put them on the market. After all, there is already a Lianzhong in front.

Xu Liang’s idea is to integrate these games to form a joint force, use his own high-quality games such as “Legend” and “Tianxia” to drive traffic, squeeze Lianzhong’s space, and compete for the casual game market.

When the mobile Internet explodes next year, we can also make a lot of profits.

"That's good. With this game hall, and if it can make money, it can also stimulate the creativity of employees." Wu Xifan said.

Xu Liang nodded.

At this time, Lu Hui came over.

"Mr. Xu, it's time for the meeting in five minutes."

Xu Liang stood up.

"Let's go, let's have a meeting first."

The two came to the large conference room of Hongmeng Company.

All the company's top executives and the main heads of each department are here.

Wu Yahui, the newly appointed deputy director of Jumang Studio, and Liu Kun, deputy director of Zhurong Studio, also attended for the first time.

Xu Liang, who was sitting in the center, looked around at everyone.

"We are meeting now. Xiang Jie, please report our revenue this month."

A young man with a square face, thin build, and black-rimmed glasses stood up.

Xiang Jie, who has a double master's degree in economics and business administration from Beijing University, previously worked in the financial department of Microsoft China and was headhunted to serve as the CFO and chief financial officer of Hongmeng Company.

"As of August 17, the company's total revenue in August was 7.35 million, of which the main business "Legend" contributed 53%, the website directory contributed 42%, and the non-main business income was 265,000 Chinese dollars, accounting for about 5%. "

The non-main business is the income from large deposits and treasury bond investments.

“Expenditures are 3.17 million, including 560,000 in salary expenses, 1.35 million in hardware equipment expenses, 320,000 in advertising expenses, and the rest are operating expenses including employee benefits and meal subsidies.

The total remaining gross profit was 4.18 million. "

The so-called gross profit refers to the profit without paying taxes, and a 25% corporate income tax will be deducted in the future.

"In addition, there is currently a balance of 29.3 million in the account, of which 17.2 million is operating income and 12.1 million is borrowing."

The so-called loan is a bridge loan that New Dream borrowed 50 million and then lent to Hongmeng Company.

The interest rate is of course higher than that of ordinary loans, 7.2%.

But compared with the 6.5% interest rate of ordinary loans, it is not much higher.

Although both companies are 100% owned by Xu Liang, they are indeed two different legal persons, and the accounts cannot be misrepresented.

Otherwise, it will be a big taboo to have unclear financial results when going public in the future.

Xu Liang nodded.

“Now that the company is financially wealthy, let’s return the New Dream bridge loan.”

New Dream is short of money to buy a house, but he has 20 million. According to the current financing environment, if he finds connections, he can at least leverage 100 to 200 million in funds.

"yes."

Next are reports from various departments.

Xu Liang commented one by one.

When the report in Jumang Studio was over, Xu Liang took the initiative to applaud.

When the big boss takes action, others will of course agree.

"The outbreak of "Legend: War of Overlords" must be attributed to Jumang Studio."

Faced with praise, Wang Tao, who had been criticized before, was not too excited.

"However, Jumang Studio cannot rest on its laurels. While maintaining "Legend: Overlord War" and eliminating private servers and bugs, it must also develop new games."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, our Jumang Studio will definitely implement your request as soon as possible. While ensuring the smooth operation of "Legend: Overlord War", we will also develop new games."

Xu Liang nodded, "I'm waiting for your good news."

The conversation changed.

“In view of the rapid development of the company’s business, I decided to carry out certain reforms in the company’s organizational structure.

First, the game division was established to be responsible for the company's three major studios and the development of the game business, with Vice President Wu Xifan in charge.

Second, the search business department was established to be fully responsible for the development of the search business. The chief operating officer Xie Wen is temporarily in charge. "

Yu Jun's qualifications are too young and he has no impressive performance, so he cannot be allowed to be in charge of the entire search division.

"Third, a comprehensive business department was established to be responsible for the development of the website directory, Hongmeng Music Network, Hongmeng Internet Cafe management software and Hongmeng Pay, with Vice President Xia Wei in charge."

Xu Liang originally planned to call it the ‘Interactive Entertainment’ Business Department, but later changed it.

After all, except for Hongmeng Music, the other websites are basically not related to entertainment.

It won’t be too late to divide them when there is more business in the future.

"Fourth, establish a hardware management department to be fully responsible for the maintenance and update of the company's servers."

At present, the entire Hongmeng company's servers have 20 groups and 2,000 servers, which can accommodate 600 to 1 million people online at the same time.

For the current Hongmeng games, it is definitely beyond.

But the server not only provides game services, but also Internet services such as search and website directories, which will continue to increase in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to set up a dedicated hardware management department.

"Fifth, establish a network security department. Hacking technology at home and abroad is developing rapidly. Our Hongmeng gaming business is highly profitable and can easily become the target of hackers.

Therefore, we must establish a dedicated network security department as early as possible to maintain the normal operations of our company and prevent hackers from harming us. "

"Lao Fang?"

HR Fang Dexin responded quickly.

"Contact a headhunter as soon as possible. No matter how much it costs, we must set up a network security department as soon as possible."

"yes."

"Sixth, the marketing department was changed to the marketing department. The name change was not to sound good, but to completely change our business model.

In the past, when we were doing marketing, we only pushed out games and software, but the post-maintenance was not enough. The customer service department often received complaints from Internet cafe owners and customers, saying that our salesperson had a bad attitude and called us to ask for a card, but it took half a day to get it. Don't go there.
