"Tut-tut, look at the Effie now! This is an Audi A6, a car hundreds of thousands of cars bigger!" said a roommate enviously.

"Effie is the CEO of the company, and it's normal to drive a luxury car, but we are still in the same session with her, and now we are ...... than Bibi."

"It's different, we are still poor students, and everyone else is Mr. Ai. ”

Zhang Liang sighed and said listlessly: "Let's go, go back to school." ”

"Hey, Ryoko, didn't Effie say let's go to a big dinner, or let's go to a barbecue in the evening?"

Zhang Liang's eyes glared, "Eat, eat, eat, you know, eat, didn't you invite you at noon, and eat at night? I'm not afraid of killing you." ”

............

After Effie returned to the company, she immediately found the manager of the technical department.

"Which company developed CS and how much will it cost if we buy this company!"

Before the technical manager could sit down, Effie stood in front of him and asked bluntly.

The manager of the technical department was startled, and he pushed the myopic glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Mr. Ai, you mean...... Acquire Valve?"

"What?" asked Effie, puzzled.

"It's the company that developed CS.,The name is Valve.,This is an American game company.,CS is actually just a mod for the game Half-Life.,The original name of this game is Half-Life.,Valve is the company that developed the Half-Life series of games.。 The technical manager explains.

"Well, how much does it cost to acquire Valve!" Effie continued.

"This ...... It's hard to say, in the past two years, Valve has also been famous in the game circle, not only developed a game that is popular all over the world like Half-Life, but also just launched its own game platform this year, called STEAM, which is a game store and game platform, which is very popular abroad. I reckon...... At least tens of millions of dollars larger. ”

Effie was a little discouraged when she heard that it would cost tens of millions of dollars.

If it is tens of millions of yuan, then she can still grit her teeth and take it out, but tens of millions of dollars, which is beyond her authority.

Even if it is reported to the board of directors, it is estimated that it will not be approved, not to mention, the head office does not have much money now, and it can't come up with tens of millions of dollars to buy a game company for her.

What should I do about this......

Effie walked around the office twice, and suddenly thought of something, she turned her head and asked, "Does this game have an agent in China?

"Ogilvy Software is a company in Hanzhong, but it is a foreign-funded company, and the boss is a foreigner. The technical manager replied.

"How's this company doing?"

"It's so-so, although it's a good deal. But Mr. Ai, you also know that in China, who would spend money to buy game discs, pirated discs for five dollars a piece on the street. The technical manager smiled.

Effie nodded, indeed.

Spending money on software?

At the time, you would have been taken for a fool!

IF NOTHING ELSE, LET'S TAKE THE WINDOWS SYSTEM AND OFFICE SOFTWARE AS AN EXAMPLE, EVERYONE HAS USED IT, BUT WHO HAS PAID FOR THE GENUINE VERSION......

As for games, it is even more unlikely that anyone will spend dozens or hundreds of dollars to buy genuine CDs.

Therefore, the business situation of Ogilvy Software can be imagined, and it is not easy for this company to go bankrupt yet.

The foreigner boss obviously overestimated the copyright awareness of the Chinese people!

Not to mention 2003, even after more than ten years, there are still many people who have no sense of copyright at all and are proud of piracy.

Of course, some people do not have an easy life and do not have so much extra money to support the genuine version, which is not to blame them, which is understandable.

But those who are proud of the use of pirated copies, seriously, are a bit too much to say.

One day, when he worked hard for several months and a year, and his boss did not pay him, he would understand the feelings of the companies and copyright owners who had been pirated and infringed on their rights.

"That's good, by the way, how much time would it take for our tech department to develop a software for managing and charging for an Internet café?" Effie asked again.

The manager of the technical department can't keep up with her thinking, why did she jump from the game to the Internet café charging software, Facebook Games is a game platform, what do you do when you develop Internet café charging software?

However, he didn't ask much, just thought about it seriously and replied: "This software is not difficult, but Mr. Ai knows that the company's real technical elites are all in the Facebook and WeChat project teams, and our ...... Hey. ”

Well, without further ado, Effie got it.

It's nothing more than that the technical strength of Facebook Games is a bit weak.

"If the WeChat project team had done it, how long would it have taken to make such a software?" she asked.

"Li Xin's side, if his team does it, it may be made in two weeks, Li Xin's team is very powerful!"

Effie now has a bottom in her heart.

That night, the lights in Effie's office stayed on until late at night.

In the office, Effie constantly looked up information on the Internet and revised her plan......

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the evening that she turned off the computer, got up and stretched, and went downstairs to the apartment to rest.

............

The next morning, as soon as Yu Wenfei arrived at the office, Hu Jingjing walked in.

"Mr. Fei, Mr. Ai wants to report to you, do you think you have time in the morning?"

Yu Wenfei replied casually: "Just let her come, I'm fine today." By the way, you asked the person in charge of the executive search consulting firm last time to come over. ”

With the rapid expansion of the company, Yuwenfei felt that the company's manpower, especially the senior management team, was insufficient.

Facebook Technology has only spun off two subsidiaries, Cai Congxin on Facebook, and Effie on Facebook Games, but there are two new projects without a suitable person in charge.

Although those two project teams have technical directors, they are responsible for technology development, but it is obviously not good to do operations, and Yuwenfei has to find new executives to be responsible for those two projects.

A short time later, Effie hurried in with a large folder.

"It's good to fly early. ”

Yu Wenfei was standing next to the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the scenery outside the window, and turned his head when he heard Effie's greeting.

"Hey, why are the dark circles so obvious, are you staying up late and working overtime again?"

Effie smiled embarrassedly, "I stayed up late last night to write a plan. ”

"You can't do it all the time, the bigger the company develops in the future, the work will become more and more heavy, we must pay attention to the allocation of work and life time, the body is the most important. Yu Wenfei said with concern.

"Well, thank you Mr. Fei, I'll pay attention to it later. This time, I have a new plan for the development of Facebook Games, and I would like to report to you. Effie said.

"Sit down, there's a new plan so soon? ”

Yu Wenfei beckoned her to sit down and said with a smile.
