Chapter 492: An ally Falling from the Sky

It was Zhao Xudong who called, and he brought Liu Yun a somewhat unexpected message.

Xishanju, a well-known game studio under Kingsoft, has been poached by NetEase in an almost frenzied manner.

Their hard-working martial arts masterpiece "Swordsman Romance III" has been seriously affected by the research and development progress, and sometimes it is almost unsustainable due to the poaching of core personnel.

"Actually, these things have a little to do with us. ”

Zhao Xudong said meaningfully.

"What do you mean?"

"That's right, because not long ago, we did the same to NetEase, and many of their studios were almost hollowed out by us. This is like a biological chain of the jungle, NetEase can only find Jinshan to vent its anger. ”

After Liu Yun heard this, he quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter. Nowadays in Huaxia, in addition to Yoyo, NetEase, Kingsoft, and Tencent are left with certain game independent research and development capabilities.

In front of Youyou, NetEase only has to be poached, and Tencent's strength is also rising rapidly, and it is difficult for NetEase to start with their technical personnel. They had no choice but to target Jin Shan, who had the worst overall strength.

For a company, there are only two ways for them to source employees, one is to recruit from the market, and the second is to dig into each other's corners.

The latter approach, which is hated by small companies, is popular with large companies.

The helmsman of many large companies is very willing to spend a little money to dig the core backbone of competitors into their own company.

Strengthen yourself, and at the same time weaken your opponents, why not kill two birds with one stone.

"Manager Zhao, how many people have you poached from NetEase?"

Liu Yun's heart moved, and he felt a trace of doubt.

"Mr. Liu, this digging is really addictive, even the studio of "Fantasy Journey to the West", I have dug more than 20 people. Now the progress of their new expansion has been affected. ”

Zhao Xudong's tone was tinged with a hint of pride.

He is very concerned about digging corners. Because the ones who can be poached are all old employees with rich work experience, not those recruits in the workplace who can compare.

Of course, digging the foot of the wall can be so smooth, and it must be inseparable from the golden sign of Yoyo. He just played a role in fueling the flames.

"So ruthless?" Liu Yun scratched his scalp, showing a very rare look of embarrassment.

He said that he asked Zhao Xudong to stare at NetEase and dig people fiercely, but he didn't expect to dig so hard.

If you see Ding Sanshi in the future, no matter how smiling he looks, he will grit his teeth at himself.

"You're doing a great job!"

Although there was some surprise, Liu Yun was very satisfied, and appropriate praise was indispensable.

"Mr. Liu, Yoyo Holiday Network has also done it!

Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to have said that.

"Manager Xu, seeing that our game company did this, she also drew a gourd in the same way, staring at Ctrip to do this!"

Liu Yun took a deep breath, and he realized that these subordinates of his were all wolf-like guys.

He liked the word. Huawei's chairman, Ren Zhengfei, has also been promoting the wolf spirit to his employees.

In a cruel market economy, it is useless to be a good old man.

What's more, Xu Ying, as the general manager of Yoyo Holiday.com, still has the autonomy to poach people, and there is no need to inform Liu Yun at all.

"She's doing a good job, too. ”

For a while, Liu Yun couldn't think of any other words of praise at all.

Back to the point.

Zhao Xudong's report on NetEase's crazy poaching of Jinshan is not just about being an outsider.

"Mr. Liu, after careful analysis, I found that Jinsan's game research and development capabilities are second only to Yoyo and NetEase, and slightly higher than Tencent. ”

Liu Yun was very busy and understood the words of his subordinates, and he must stop NetEase from continuing to poach and strengthen his strength.

He thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, we should take some action, otherwise the previous poaching will be in vain." ”

Zhao Xudong deeply agreed, saying: "Kingsoft's financial strength is not strong, not to mention that their proud antivirus software has also been affected by our yoyo free strategy, and the number of paid users has been declining, and it is really a bit vulnerable to NetEase with deep pockets." ”

The initiator of all this is Liu Yun, if the current state of affairs continues, the martial arts masterpiece "Swordsman Romance 3", which countless players have been waiting for, is very likely to be forced to miscarry.

As a responsible young man of the new era, Liu Yun felt obligated to bring it back on track.

"You wait for a while, I'll ask Liu Shihua to come over. ”

Liu Yun picked up the landline and dialed Liu Shihua's phone.

At this moment, he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Not long after, Liu Shihua came to the chairman's office and saw that Zhao Xudong was also there, and he sat next to him in confusion.

"Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"

Liu Yun frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and said, "I have a plan, I need the two of you to go to Zhuhai in Guangdong Province together to find Mr. Qiu Bojun." ”

Zhao Xudong nodded, but still with a hint of puzzlement. He can handle this matter himself, why should he pull Liu Shihua.

"Mr. Liu, what are your specific plans?"

Liu Yun pondered for a while and said: "It's very simple, give Jinshan two conditions, first, we will give the other party a transfer fee to transfer "Swordsman Romance III" to us Youyou; ”

"Either of the two outcomes will do. ”

Zhao Xudong flashed his eyes and said with a smile: "We can give an attractive condition, after the two companies reach a cooperation agreement, the technicians on the Jinshan side can enjoy the same treatment as Youyou's side." In this way, even if the cooperation is not reached, Kingsoft's employees will give priority to Yoyo rather than NetEase. ”

Lao Ma said that there are two reasons why employees can't change jobs: their hearts are wronged, and they don't have enough money.

If the money is enough, it is nothing to be wronged.

But Liu Yun did not immediately adopt Zhao Xudong's suggestion, shook his head and said: "This method has no choice in the end. After all, this is an old company with a deep heritage. I want to include them in Yoyo's system. ”

"Remember what I said, in the Internet industry, everyone can achieve win-win cooperation, and everyone can make money together. There is no need to go around setting up enemies at every turn. ”

After Zhao Xudong heard this, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and a few drops of cold sweat couldn't help but flow out of his head.

This Mr. Liu said it well, win-win cooperation, and no enemies. So what's going on with NetEase and what's going on with Ctrip?

Only those who are obedient and pleasing to the eye can cooperate for a win-win situation: those who are not pleasing to the eye are all potential enemies.

These thoughts only flashed through his heart, but his mouth was quick to accept.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yun turned his gaze to Liu Shihua.

"The new free policy of Yoyo Antivirus has been launched for a while, what is the market response?"

"The number of users has increased steadily. ”

Liu Yun asked again: "What is the reaction of other companies?"

Liu Shihua replied: "At the beginning, because we were very low-key, at that time, Mr. Liu, you were in the headlines every day, so the popularity was not high. But our strategy, for other antivirus software companies, is a killer weapon that can't be solved, and slowly accumulating, there is a small outbreak. Their users are rapidly decreasing, while ours is increasing. Of course, the complaints of those companies against Yoyo are also increasing. ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently and said, "In other words, under our strategy, they all have a sense of life and death. ”

Liu Shihua nodded.

Liu Yun continued: "Yoyo doesn't care about making enemies, and a business without enemies is a mediocre business. But thanks to NetEase's blessing, it sent us a good ally. There is no need for me to refuse this kind of door-to-door gift. ”

Liu Shihua raised his eyebrows, as if he had caught a clue, but he still couldn't guess the boss's thoughts.

"It's very simple, you and Manager Zhao went to Mr. Qiu Bojun, the person in charge of Jinshan Company. We go with sincerity, and Jinshan should also repay the favor. ”

Liu Yun tapped the table with his fingers lightly, looking calm.

Liu Shihua replied: "Over there in Jinshan, there are paid Jinshan drug tyrants. How do they support us?"

Liu Yun replied: "First of all, antivirus software has begun to be marginalized in Kingsoft's business, which is not a core industry. Second, free antivirus software is a trend, and sooner or later Kingsoft will do the same. ”

In another time and space, because 360 under the banner of permanent free, the entire antivirus software market has been stirred up, and many such companies have been forced to death, although Kingsoft's strength is relatively prominent, and it was not forced to death by Zhou Hongyi, but after persisting until 2010, they were also forced to adopt a permanent free policy.

Liu Yun only advanced this point in time by a few years, compared with the 360 in his previous life, Yoyo at least had sincerity and exchange conditions.

They announced their support for the free strategy of Yoyo antivirus, and their own Kingsoft antivirus bully also adopted free to share the firepower of Yoyo. ”

"If they think that the existence of the antivirus department is a burden after the free, they can transfer it to Yoyo. As many as we come, we will take as many as we want. ”

Liu Shihua and Zhao Xudong glanced at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

This boss's thinking jumping ability is still really strong, just from the scene of NetEase poaching Jinshan, you can think of so many tricks.

"Mr. Liu, if the two of us go to talk to Jin Shan alone, it may be a little difficult. But talking together, it plays a very good complementary role, which can be said to complement each other. ”

Zhao Xudong smiled confidently.

Yoyo did this in a hurry, and also pulled the other party into his chariot.

Although it is a bit difficult for Jinshan to pinch his nose and support Yoyo's policy of free antivirus software, and implement it in the same way, Yoyo at least arranged a way out for the other party and followed the principle of win-win cooperation.

In the previous life, 360 was forced to push the opponent into a desperate situation with the momentum of one mountain and no two tigers.

From the perspective of the realm, the gap between the two is already obvious.

......

As the founder of Jinshan Company, Qiu Bojun has been very irritable recently.

Kingsoft Antivirus, which once brought profits to the company, has now become a heavy burden because of the declining number of paying users, but the salaries of technicians cannot fall. He was a little annoyed, this giant company was as greedy as the penguin, and almost every area of the Internet wanted to be involved.

What's even more terrifying is that with antivirus software, browsers, security guards, and input methods, the four-in-one marketing and promotion model is too strong in this market, and it almost knocks down the opponent in front of it with a devastating force.

Another annoying thing is that NetEase's damn Ding Fat Man has been staring at his company's programmers for several years to dig into the corners.

"Swordsman Love III" is the top priority of Jinshan in the next few years. Now that the profits of several games in hand are declining, and the antivirus software is losing serious money, "Sword Network III" is a key factor in whether the company can make a beautiful comeback in the next few years.

If "Sword Network III" fails, Jinshan will fall completely, and once "Sword Net III" becomes popular, Jinshan's profits will increase exponentially, and the company's position in the industry will be preserved or enhanced.

Nowadays, Kingsoft's position in the Internet is a little awkward, neither up nor down.

He can understand this, and other bigwigs in the industry can also understand this, such as Ding Sanshi of NetEase.

This guy touched a nose of dust on Yoyo's side, and wanted to block the road to rob the agency of Warcraft, but was frantically counterattacked by Yoyo, and the company's game development personnel were also poached in large quantities. It can be said that stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice.

NetEase seems to have vented all its dissatisfaction and grievances on Jinshan, and also waved a lot of checks, digging hard into the corners of Jinshan's original walls.

What's even more helpless is that the initiator of all this is Yoyo, if there is no sustained and high-intensity poaching action, NetEase will not target Jinshan in order to replenish the loss of personnel.

This is a cruel biological chain, Yoyo digs NetEase, and NetEase digs Jinshan.

Qiu Bojun does not have enough economic strength to retain these employees, and it is a normal thing for people to aspire to higher salaries in the market economy.

But with today's trend, the game "Sword Net 3" is very likely to be aborted. If Qiu Bojun raises the salary of technical personnel, it may cause insufficient funds for game research and development, and if he does not raise his salary, employees will submit their resignations every day.

And these two assumptions will cause the game to be delayed or even difficult to deliver.

Knock knock~

"Please come in. ”

Qiu Bojun didn't look up, but just shouted softly.

It was his secretary who came in, with a somewhat surprised look on his face.

"Mr. Qiu, how many people are there over there who want to see you?"

"Who?"

Qiu Bojun suddenly raised his head and asked in disbelief.

The secretary calmed down and replied: "The people who came are Zhao Xudong, the general manager of Yoyo Games, and Liu Shihua, the general manager of Yoyo Technology. ”
