Masdin and Carlon looked at each other, not understanding what Bruce meant, but the two didn't ask anything more, and they knew what was going on when they arrived at headquarters.

In the past few days, the general managers and deputy general managers of various branches of Tianqi Group have arrived in J City one after another, and Chen Qingshan and Wei Dongshuo also grasped the news and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The annual meeting was not held in J City for two consecutive years, Wei Dongshuo and Chen Qingshan were both worried in their hearts, worried that Xu Ping'an would move the headquarters, and now it seems that Xu Ping'an has no intention of moving the headquarters in a short time.

Feng Xia has already started to work, and the headquarters of Tianqi Group has been arranged to be cleaned several times, especially the large conference room, which is cleaned every day, the windows are very bright, and there is a circle of green plants around.

This year's annual meeting is special, and special funds are allocated to carry out a major cleaning of the exterior of all buildings, and all assets belonging to Tianqi Group have been externally cleaned.

Early in the morning, less than nine o'clock, the vehicles dispatched by the Administration Department went to various hotels to pick up the people who came to the meeting, and went straight to the headquarters of Tianqi Group.

At 9:40, the meeting officially began, and Xu Ping'an began to listen to the reports of the general managers of each branch, and commented a few words from time to time, pointing to the core of the problem.

Mastinn and Carlon were really shocked, and now the two of them fully understood what Bruce meant, and the profits of the various branches of the Apocalypse Group were so terrifying.

Blizzard's annual profit is only more than a billion dollars, and within the Apocalypse Group, it is completely at the bottom, and the original pride in the hearts of the two has disappeared, and there is more pressure on them.

Tianqi Group also has companies that are not very profitable, but if you count its inherent assets, it is definitely not small, and the overall scale of the company is not inferior to Blizzard.

Of course, there are loss-making companies, but both know that these companies are acceptable to lose money, and it is impossible not to lose money in a technology company.

However, once a breakthrough is born, a major result can instantly bring tens of billions of euros in profits to the group.

What makes the two feel even more incredible is that the R&D expenses of Tianqi Group last year reached 35 billion euros, what kind of concept is this, the two of them are very shocked in their hearts.

Now, I really feel the strength of the Apocalypse Group, which is really stronger than the outside world announced.

At 12 o'clock, the meeting was temporarily adjourned, and the meal began to be eaten, and the meeting was resumed after two and a half o'clock.

After dinner, Xu Ping'an rested in his office for a while, and continued the meeting in the afternoon.

If there is any difficulty, if there is no problem, you need to implement it immediately after the meeting, and the time is very tight.

Towards the end of the meeting, Masdin and Carlon learned about the year-end bonus of the Apocalypse Group, and the two left with their eyes shining, and now the two understand why the general managers of those branches worked so hard.

According to the profits you hand over to the headquarters to determine how much your year-end bonus is, the two of them are both excited and uncomfortable, happy to see a large amount of money, uncomfortable is that this money is not so easy to take.

As a branch, the finance must keep one billion euros of self-retained funds, and after reaching this standard, you can only hand over profits and get year-end bonuses, but you can't reach it, but you don't have a penny.

The end of the meeting is a dinner, you can eat and drink, start to return to the branches tomorrow, if you have something, you can stay a few more days to communicate with Xu Ping'an, and if you have nothing to do, you can return directly.

Mastins and Carlon were informed at the dinner party that they would go to Xu Ping'an's villa tomorrow afternoon, and Xu Ping'an had something to explain to them, and the two controlled the amount of alcohol and did not drink much.

Back at the hotel, the two ran two cups of coffee and talked in the room, without any sense of relaxation.

"We're going to practice Celestial Empire, we only have half a year, God, I don't even know if I'll be able to learn it," Mastin's said bitterly.

Carlon nodded and said, "This is normal, if I don't understand what my subordinates are saying, I will definitely give a mandatory order, and when I go back, I plan to hire a special teacher of Celestial Language, and I must learn Celestial Language."

Mastins looked at Carlon and felt the determination in Carllon, "You have confidence."

"It's not that I'm confident, Mastin, do you feel the strength of the Apocalypse Group?"

"Seriously, I really feel it, I originally thought that we would make a lot of net profits of more than one billion a year, but compared with the Apocalypse Group, we are at the bottom"

"In the end, the development of the enterprise still has to fight for your financial strength, which company has this strength, frankly speaking, if some Wall Street companies start a business war with the Apocalypse Group, I am not optimistic about them"

"In the past, I thought that Wall Street companies were the representatives of strong capital, but now it seems that technology manufacturing companies such as Tianqi Group are the representatives of strong capital."

"Poseidon's net profit a year is as high as 20 billion euros, and our net profit for ten years is not as good as that of others for a year, to be honest, I was deeply hit, I feel that I am from the countryside" Carlon said with a serious expression.

"Yes, I originally thought that even if we were acquired by the Apocalypse Group, in terms of games, we Blizzard would be the boss of the game category, but as a result, reality gave me a hard slap"

"It is unbelievable that the Celestial Empire division of the Apocalypse Games Company has made more profits than us, and the profit of the French game division is only 600 million less than ours."

"But their growth rate is really scary, the French Apocalypse Games Company has only been established for a few years, and it has this kind of profit and growth rate, which cannot be underestimated."

"And their ability to innovate, far beyond us, I have to work a little bit harder, I have to give Blizzard a new life, I have to get back to being the boss of the game industry," Mastin's face is determined.

The two were really stimulated, and began to seriously discuss the development of Apocalypse Blizzard Entertainment Company, and they were very united, which Xu Ping'an did not expect.

After lunch at noon the next day, the two took a car to Xu Ping'an's villa, Xu Ping'an had just eaten, and beckoned the two to the study to talk, chatting while drinking tea, and asking the two about their work arrangements for this year.

With the detailed discussion between the two last night, Xu Ping'an was very satisfied with the answer, and he deserved to be a senior talent, but it was different.

"Carllon, I'm very yearning for this year's blockbuster, don't let me down," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

"Rest assured, President, we will carefully build the script, shoot this film carefully regardless of the cost, and create a World of Warcraft series of films," Carlon said with great confidence.

Xu Ping'an nodded, Carllon's level can still be assured, an old producer, familiar with everything in Hollywood, and an insider with rich connections.

"Mastin, rest assured of bold reforms, I support you, you only have to distribute last year's profits, and the three billion expenses allocated by the company to Blizzard Film and Television will allow Carlon to turn to use"

"If you don't have enough funds, you can apply, the headquarters supports you, I want to see real changes, everything is player-centric, Blizzard should return to the right path, understand" Xu Ping'an said seriously.

Masdin nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the president, I will start the next step of reform as soon as I go back, and adjust each department one by one to maintain stability."

"The previous ills must be eliminated and the player interacts more in the game"

"In addition, I plan to bring back a few people who have left the original company, they can't manage it, but they are really talented in making games."

"They haven't had a good time out there in the past few years, and I believe they will cherish this return and keep World of Warcraft consistent and sustainable ,............."

"If you do it according to your ideas, the headquarters will support you" Xu Ping'an said directly, and both of them were at peace in their hearts.

The three of them talked until dinner, communicating many things, and the notebook in front of them recorded more than twenty pages.

After dinner, the two returned to the hotel to rest, and tomorrow they can fly directly back to the U.S. branch.

Outside, all branches of Tianqi Group have begun to get busy, comprehensively checking the inventory of dealers, and the dealers who received the news breathed a long sigh of relief, understanding that this is to be subsidized according to your inventory.

The iron rooster of the Apocalypse Group has finally started to carry out promotions, which is not easy.

The various branches of the Celestial Empire also began to act, and a large number of personnel began to go to various places to check the inventory and prepare for the big promotion that will be launched after the year.

The low-level employees don't know, but the high-level employees know very well that after the year, the actions of Tianqi Group will be very big, and it will definitely have an impact on the world economy.

In the next two days, Xu Ping'an communicated with the general managers of many branches to explain their doubts, and they all returned to the station one after another.

The year-end bonus of Tianqi Group has also begun to enter the distribution stage, and all employees are excited, and Tianchao's enterprises have begun to arrange procurement benefits and holidays.

On this day, when Xu Ping'an was about to go to work for the last day, Chen Qingshan came, and Xu Ping'an beckoned Chen Qingshan to sit down and drink tea together.

Chen Qingshan asked straight to the point, "What does it mean that your game company's voice-activated system is not authorized externally, do you really plan to completely collapse the domestic game industry?"

"It's up to them to ask themselves, to be weak and deceitful of my kindness, waiting for you to come forward and force me to lower the price"

"In this case, it's better to let them disappear directly, anyway, in addition to plagiarism or plagiarism, keeping it is also a scourge, and dying is also for the way of heaven" Xu Ping'an said very politely.

"Ping'an, you have to take into account those practitioners, this is a problem involving the jobs of millions of people, you can't help it" Chen Qingshan looked at Xu Ping'an with a straight face and said.
