Chapter 357: Crisis and Opportunity

Back in Yancheng, as soon as the plane landed, Ling Feng's mobile phone rang non-stop, and the company seemed to suddenly encounter all kinds of messy small problems, which made him extremely busy, but fortunately, the foundation was solid, and there were no major incidents. Even so, he can't take it lightly, because he clearly knows that this is the price that must be paid for rejecting Moli, and it is really hard to say what will happen in the future.

And Bai Dong was just like what he said, he was still silently paying attention to Ling Feng, although he might not be able to become a son-in-law, but he could be a partner, it was better than one more enemy, so he began to slowly withdraw his resources.

......

In the office, Ling Feng was dealing with all kinds of anxious documents, and Su Yanming directly pushed the door in.

"Mr. Ling, everyone has arrived, and now I'm waiting for you. ”

"Okay, you go first, I'll come right away. ”

The spacious conference room was full of people in two rows, on the left were Su Yanming from the marketing department, Wu Tong from the finance department, Shen Xiu from the legal department, and Mo Li from Sharp Capital, so she asked her assistant to hold the meeting instead of her.

On the right are Song Tianjun of the game business, Chen Jie of the live broadcast platform, Gu Yong of the event center, Tao Yu of the offline Internet café and Zeng Hao of the peripherals, and the new member who has just joined, Fang Nini of the video website, she is the only woman in the audience.

Everyone here is the core backbone of the player company, Ling Feng looked at them and smiled, and suddenly a sense of pride welled up, the company was finally basically formed, but there was a trace of restlessness between everyone's eyebrows.

"Let's welcome new members to join, Fang Nini, Mr. Fang. ”

Everyone's eyes looked at her at the same time, and they applauded and welcomed.

"Hello everyone, I'm Fang Nini, you can call me Nini in the future, don't call me Mr. Fang, it's too foreign...... It's a pleasure to be part of the gamer family. To be honest, when Mr. Ling came to me to talk about cooperation, I was still very nervous, although we have the same philosophy, but I was afraid that I would not be able to fit in, and when I saw everyone here today, my inner worries were gone......"

"Why?" Gu Yong said strangely, he didn't understand what Fang Nini meant.

"Because you're easy to bully at first glance, even if I bully you, you won't bully you again, right? big man?" Fang Nini teased with a smile.

Immediately, there was a lot of laughter in the conference room, and the just right joke not only narrowed the distance between everyone and her, but also relieved the tense atmosphere and made the atmosphere lively.

"I believe that with all of us working together, the future of the player company will be even better. ”

"Your wish will come true. Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction, showing an appreciative look and taking the lead in applauding.

The applause continued for a while, and gradually quieted down.

"Nini, it stands to reason that I shouldn't assign you too many tasks, but now the situation is a little different, I hope you can adapt to it as soon as possible, and then connect with Chen Jie and Gu Yong in terms of video business, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, I didn't think about just taking money and not working when I came. ”

"Yes, very conscious. Ling Feng knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention, "Everyone must already know a little bit about the company's recent situation, so I won't talk nonsense here...... Recently, the company has lost external support due to personal reasons, but I don't think it's a bad thing, at least it makes us know more clearly that there are still a lot of problems in the company today, so we have to face up to its existence and solve them neatly. After Ling Feng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Su Yanming, "Let's talk about it first, what problems have you encountered here recently." ”

"Judging from the report just sorted out, the marketing department has not been affected by any major impact, all the data is still growing steadily, it may be that the short-term volatility is not big enough, we need to look at the performance in the next few months to know, but we are already strengthening the response to the market to avoid emergencies. ”

"Good, next. Ling Feng rubbed his temples and said expressionlessly.

"The financial side has not been affected, and the capital reserves are still sufficient to face all emergencies. Wu Tong was very distressed when he saw Ling Feng with a tired face, and even his tone couldn't help but feel a little worried.

There is no special situation on the legal side, but the little assistant brought by Mo Li is the same as herself, with a very cold attitude, and she doesn't say anything about it without saltiness, so she doesn't say anything, and Ling Feng is a little unable to get off the stage.

After Song Tianjun saw this, he hurriedly picked it up, "There is no problem with the game for the time being, judging from the feedback from the forum, there should not be any big impact in the short term, but we will still make a preparatory plan." ”

"There was nothing wrong with the event, everything was going on in order and there were a lot more spectators than before, which is a good sign. Gu Yong said relaxedly.

Seeing that everyone had no problems, Chen Jie began to sit still, and said with a sad face: "Mr. Ling, things are a little troublesome on the live broadcast platform, many anchors have jumped to other platforms one after another recently, and even our head anchors have begun to show signs, I'm afraid it will be very bad for us if it continues like this." ”

"This is understandable, there has been a lot of hot money in this industry recently, and everyone wants to eat this dividend...... We don't have to worry about it, try our best to win those anchors, forget it if we can't get it, but we must do things according to the contract, if someone dares to breach the contract and sue him directly, we will not be soft, we can't open this opening here, lawyer Shen, pay more attention to your side. ”

"No problem, Mr. Ling. ”

"But Mr. Ling, wouldn't this be too much, in case they ......," Chen Jie said worriedly.

"If an industry wants to be recognized by the public, it must have clear rules. A contract is a contract, and it must be fulfilled after it is signed, which can be regarded as a good lesson for their group of young people who have just entered the society...... And your side is ready to sell some shares to give those who want to come in a chance, and we don't need to tighten our belts to live, good days are coming soon. ”

"Okay, Mr. Ling. The stone in Chen Jie's heart finally fell to the ground, he was afraid that Ling Feng would not be willing to exchange shares for money, as long as he had money, he would have the confidence to operate the live broadcast platform better.

"It's finally here, I can't hold it anymore, I'm full of good news here. Zeng Hao sat up straight excitedly, and said excitedly: "Since the adoption of low-end volume, mid-end word-of-mouth, and high-end premium, we have turned losses into profits and low-end products have begun to make profits, and the market share has reached 10% directly from 3%. ”

"I've finally heard some exciting news. ”

Zeng Hao continued: "Mr. Ling, this is not over yet, and the crowdfunding of the ergonomic chair and gaming chair we launched on the official website has reached 327%, which is a successful product before it is sold. The crowdfunding of screen wall lights even broke through 999% online, and I really regret why I didn't ask the technical staff to adjust this ceiling a little higher, otherwise it might have created a miracle of our crowdfunding. ”

"It's okay, we're just getting started, and maybe it won't be long before we break that record. ”

"Haha, I think so too. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room is starting to lighten, and sure enough, the good news can be even more encouraging!

"After everyone has finished speaking, I will talk about the next arrangements of the company. Since the business is a bit cumbersome now, I think it's time to integrate player accounts into a resource so that they can log in to our games, live streams, videos, forums and peripherals with one account, which is convenient for them and convenient for us to manage better. However, when data integration, it is necessary to ensure that the mobile phone number and ID card information bound to the account are consistent, and verify the identity with the public security department to confirm whether it is true and valid. ”

Others don't know how expensive it is to verify identity, but Song Tianjun is clear, he immediately stopped: "Mr. Ling, verifying an identity to the public security department costs a dime and a half, and it may not be successful, we now have tens of millions of users, is the cost of doing so too great?"

Everyone gasped and looked at each other. If it did, millions would be thrown out, and there would be little concrete return in sight.

"It doesn't matter, I've already gotten the news, it won't be long before the relevant departments will start to thoroughly investigate the problem of minors addicted to the Internet, we are just one step ahead of this, this money is not spent in vain, and it will still pay off. ”

"But ......" Song Tianjun was still a little hesitant.

And the others are basically the same, and the business related to the game is all Ling Feng's grasp. Wu Tong just wanted to say something, but he glared back.

"It's nothing, that's it, let's talk about the second thing. I'm going to develop a tactical shooter where players have to collect resources on the map and fight other players in ever-shrinking safe areas to survive until the end of the day...... This game uses the best engine and must be perfected, and it will become another of our flagship products. ”

Everyone looked at the document carefully, and no one objected.

So, Ling Feng continued: "Then pull a group of people to develop our exclusive game platform, similar to the foreign steam platform, mainly cooperate with other game studios to launch excellent game works, and crack down on piracy." ”

"Crack down on piracy?" Song Tianjun was almost speechless in surprise, "Is it necessary for us to do this?" Mr. Ling, we can make a stand-alone game platform, but can we discuss the matter of cracking down on piracy again?

"No, gamers are a huge group of people who are interested in quality game content, and now they are standing in the way of piracy, and the kids who used to play games have grown up and can now afford to pay for the games they love...... Any real player will choose the genuine version, and the pirated version will not be called a player...... You have to know why I call the company a player, just to remind everyone that we are making a good game, making a game for players, not for money. There is no need to sacrifice our ideas and creativity for the sake of so-called attention...... I know it's really difficult at the beginning, but what can we do, don't we stand up and expect those capitals to stand up?"

Song Tianjun was silent, Wu Tong's eyes were full of admiration, Su Yanming bowed his head and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

After the meeting, Song Tianjun came to Ling Feng's office alone and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Ling, I still don't agree to be a game platform after thinking about it seriously, we are too critical at this time, should we wait until the time is ripe to consider this matter. ”

"But I think now is the time. ”

"Okay. Song Tianjun knew that he couldn't move Ling Feng, so he changed the topic, "Mr. Ling, does the company plan to go public in the future?"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, this turn was too fast, and he didn't react for a while.

"It shouldn't be listed. ”

"Okay. Song Tianjun took out an envelope from his coat pocket, "Mr. Ling, this is my resignation letter, I hope you can approve it." ”

"Why?" Ling Feng said directly, very incomprehensible.

"I don't think we're idealistic, you're a little too idealistic. The fight against piracy cannot be done in China, and no one will do it, because the interests behind it are too great. I think it's more reliable to be down-to-earth, and just when I'm gone, the proprietress can feel more comfortable, isn't it?"

"Well, I agreed. Ling Feng directly signed his name, "Thank you for your contributions to the company in the past few years." ”

"You're welcome, I've been handsomely rewarded. ”

"Let me ask more, have you found the next house?"

"I've found it. Song Tianjun said with an embarrassed face: "It was my ex-girlfriend who found it, and she is divorced now." ”

"Got it, I wish you all the best. ”

"Thank you. ”
