The last wave of large-scale corner digging incidents of game companies was about a year ago, and it was provoked by Yoyo.

At that time, the entire Internet was in a rumor, and I was afraid that Liu Yun's iron hoe would pry into the door of his house. During that period, the bosses of these game companies received resignations from their employees almost every day, although they were bitter, but what could they do?

Water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place, which is an unbreakable truth that has been subverted since ancient times. In a market economy society, who will work for you if you have no money?

The most maddening thing is that at the beginning, Yoyo also shouted a slogan: enterprises that truly respect employees, that is, talk about money when they should talk about money, talk about feelings when they should talk about feelings, and those companies that do not respect employees are when they should talk about money, they talk about feelings with you when they should talk about money, and they talk about money with you when they should talk about feelings.

This slightly sharp sentence instantly hit the hearts of countless workplace personnel.

It also made the faces of countless bosses feel hot. Liu Yun's kid, he slapped people and slapped his face.

BUT FOR COUNTLESS IT STRAIGHT MEN, YOYO'S OFFER IS GREAT NEWS. They can earn more money, have more savings, buy a car, buy a house, and get a wife.

During that time, the more important R&D personnel in many game companies all jumped to Yoyo, and NetEase suffered the most serious losses.

But it didn't take long for this wave of digging to come to an end. This made many game developers feel disappointed, and secretly shouted in their hearts: It's really not fun.

Throughout 2007, Yoyo launched many popular games, and there was a huge demand for game technicians, but by 2008, Yoyo, which had already built up a game empire, seemed to have temporarily stopped its expansion.

Now, only a few browser games have been launched, and they have been handed over to Ali to operate. So recently, they have only recruited a few people sporadically, and the scale is far less than last year.

Another point is that some of the better middle-level positions in game companies are almost saturated.

But just when everyone thought that they could only continue to stay in the original company for a while, Ali High-end announced that it had entered the game industry. The minds of these game developers came alive.

And the Internet market, which has just calmed down, has also become extremely lively because of Ali's offers.

Some people even shouted Lao Ma's famous words on Weibo: Mr. Ma, I am in the original company, the money is less, and my heart is also wronged. That's why I'm coming to Ali!

The first senior executive to jump ship was none other than Tencent's game director Wang Lei.

The always gentle little brother really slapped the table angrily this time. He has always been confident, thinking that Ali should not be able to dig his head even if he digs the corner of the wall, this old horse is really not small.

"Xiao Wang, tell me the reason for your resignation. I want to hear the truth. Brother Pony threw his resignation report on the table, tilted his head, and asked with his eyes closed.

"Mr. Ma, I am too tired from work and under a lot of pressure, and now I want to go back to my hometown to rest for a while. Wang Lei said seriously.

The corners of Xiao Ma's mouth twitched slightly, and he scolded secretly: It's strange to believe you.

"Well, how about I give you half a month of paid leave?" he said, looking up at the ceiling.

Mr. Ma...... How embarrassing it is, I take paid leave, what will other employees think, not to suffer from inequality. This is not good for the company. Wang Lei scratched his head and said with a smile.

He complained bitterly in his heart, and secretly scolded Brother Pony for looking at Si Svenwen, but it was too vicious.

Lao Tzu wants to find another job, go away and fly high, let go if you are good.

Although he didn't dare to say these words to his face, he kept muttering in his stomach.

"Xiao Wang, the company has cultivated you, and you are also a rare talent in our company. When it comes to talent, I ask myself that I'm never stingy with my employees. Hope you understand. Brother Pony said earnestly.

"Mr. Ma, just because the company has cultivated me, I feel that I can't bring losses to the company. My mental state at work has been very tired recently, and it will definitely cause greater damage to the company's interests after a long time. It is for the sake of the company's interests that I have decided to submit this resignation report. Wang Lei said it sincerely, and it seemed that every sentence came from the bottom of his heart.

The two men know each other, but they are competing to show who is more hypocritical in this conversation.

"I admire Xiao Wang's professionalism, if you don't think about it anymore, maybe one day you will regret your decision today. Brother Xiao Ma continued to persuade, "At Tencent, you have a greater future. ”

Wang Lei showed a very moved look and said: "Mr. Ma, I have deep feelings for you, for our team, and for this company. When I made up my mind to leave, I was in a terrible mood. But there is no feast in the world that will never be dissolved. I'm really tired and want to go home and see. ”

When he spoke, he tried his best to squeeze out a sad expression, and secretly cursed in his heart: Acting must be in place, this surnamed Ma is really difficult.

But then Wang Lei laughed dumbly, because his next boss was also surnamed Ma.

At Tencent, his position is the director of a game company, and the promise given by Ali is directly the executive president of the game company.

Wang Lei realized that he had encountered the biggest opportunity in his life, and after this village, there was really no such store.

What's more, in Penguin, he has been pressed by Ren Yu, and the other party has launched a series of QQ series games that have been a great success, and have obtained the agency rights of "Aion", and there will be no upward channel in the next few years.

So when Ali threw an olive branch through a headhunting company, he was moved and felt that he should take advantage of the prime of life to win his career.

There has always been a saying in the workplace: job hopping is the best way to break through the bottleneck of your career.

Ali is a giant company, but Ali Games is still a blank slate. He expects that under his own operation, Ali Games will become a force to be reckoned with in the game market, which can compete with NetEase, Tencent, and even Yoyo.

And he himself will become a man of the year on the Internet.

Brother Pony closed his eyes slightly and clenched his fist, but after a few seconds he released his fist, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, since he couldn't prevent the other party from leaving, he still had to try to protect Tencent's interests.

"Xiao Wang, since you have such feelings for Tencent, don't go to a competitor's company if you leave in the future, and I welcome you if you return to Tencent. Well, you've signed the non-compete agreement. ”

In the last sentence, Brother Pony showed his fox tail.

But Wang Lei is not stupid, and he will definitely not sign this agreement to make himself cocooned.

He thought for a while and replied, "Mr. Ma, you can rest assured." After I left my job, I went back to my hometown, where I lived in seclusion and took a break. So it doesn't make much sense to sign or not. ”

Brother Xiao Ma knew very well in his heart that this must be Ali's hands and feet, but when it was time for the employee to leave, he was forcing others to sign a non-compete agreement, and he just said it casually and made a temptation. He himself understands that the possibility of the other party agreeing to this matter is very small.

"The twisted melon is not sweet, since Xiao Wang has made up his mind, I understand that it is useless for me to say more. When he spoke, he waved his hand helplessly, hating this person and the old horse who was planning everything behind his back.

During this period of time, such job-hopping incidents have continued to occur in Internet companies all over China, including middle-level cadres and grass-roots technical personnel.

More than a year ago, Yoyo, poaching people was just for the icing on the cake, but now Ali games, everything starts from scratch, and poaching people is even crazier.

......

2008 is a quadrennial leap year, and February has 29 days

February 29 is the day before Tencent's Weibo was launched.

On this day, Liu Yun rushed to Shanghai and came to the office building where the Weibo project team was located.

When the three projects of Tieba, Blog, and Weibo were officially merged, the name of the company behind it was changed to Huaxia Information Technology Co., Ltd.

From the name, you can analyze the unconcealed ambition of this company.

However, since the meager online popularity, the popularity of the blog has been getting worse, but Sina didn't pay much attention to it, after the launch of Weibo, they have already been psychologically prepared.

The president of this company is Zhang Xiaolong from Youyou, while the vice president is Liu Fei from Sina, and Liu Yun's high school classmate Li Hui is Zhang Xiaolong's assistant.

"Mr. Liu, the registered users have officially broken through the 100 million mark yesterday, less than two months. Li Hui clenched his fists with some excitement.

"Good work. Liu Yun patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "We are also lucky, this time with the popularity of the Guanxi brother incident, the number of registered users has increased explosively, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation." ”

"But ....... His words immediately changed, "Before this incident, our Weibo registered users also reached 80 million. So I don't want people to mention the success of Weibo and say, look, they got on fire because of that. ”

Li Hui replied: "Mr. Liu, the heat of the Guanxi brother incident is almost over, and I promise to put an end to these exposed photos on Weibo." ”

Liu Yun nodded, pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "Tencent Weibo will be launched tomorrow, how do you deal with it?"

Li Hui thought for a while and replied: "With the channels owned by Yoyo, there will never be any news about Tencent Weibo. For example, our navigation page. And Baidu's side, the first few searches about Weibo must be all about us. ”

Liu Yun was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "Baidu's Mr. Li is not small in support. If these measures are aimed at the products of other Internet companies, they are lethal enough, but in the face of Tencent, they are of little significance, after all, one QQ can offset all the above traffic. ”

Li Hui nodded cautiously and said, "Mr. Liu, I also understand this. ”

When the two were chatting, Zhang Xiaolong also came over and said, "Mr. Liu, Xiao Li." ”

Liu Yun glanced at Zhang Xiaolong and found that his expression was a little grim, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Xiaolong, relax, don't be so serious." ”

Of all the people here, the most relaxed mentality turned out to be Liu Yun, the boss. There is a saying: The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

Li Hui looked at this old classmate a little helplessly, but then he thought about it, the boss has a lot of high-quality business in his hands, and Weibo is just one of them, so he is not in a hurry, and he himself has been graduating for a while, and he hopes to be able to make a career, so he poured a lot of enthusiasm into Weibo.

Zhang Xiaolong took out a cigarette, lit it quietly, squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, and said: "Mr. Liu, this is the biggest battle in my career so far, even if you persuade me to take it easy, I feel like I still can't sleep tonight." ”

One of the biggest battles?

The corners of Liu Yun's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Maybe there will be a bigger battle in the future." ”

Zhang Xiaolong was slightly stunned, and when he was curious and just wanted to ask, Liu Yun immediately changed his words and said: "There is a saying that the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Since the establishment of Yoyo, we have experienced strong winds and waves, and Tencent is nothing remarkable. Let's calm down and don't think so much. ”

He stayed in the conference room for a while, then left first, returning to the hotel.

Shortly after entering the room, Lao Ma called.

"Mr. Liu, my wave of digging crowds is much more fierce. On the other end of the phone, the old horse was still smiling when he spoke.

"It's fierce enough, the horse always does a big deal, much more ruthless than I did at the beginning. Liu Yun smiled indifferently.

"The best way to defeat your opponent is to buy it, and the other is to dig into the corner of the wall and dig the opponent until it collapses. The old horse talked eloquently.

After Liu Yun heard this, his eyes flashed and he remembered that Ali in his previous life seemed to do this, relying on his abundant funds to buy or dig into the corners, and he was very happy.

It is said that Mr. Ma's biggest move is to poach Tencent's game director. ”

"He, after resigning, he went back to his hometown to rest for a while, and he was going to come to Ali to report recently, which is not a poaching person!"

Liu Yun didn't understand Lao Ma's words for a while, and asked, "Mr. Ma, what do you mean?"

Lao Ma pondered for a few seconds and said, "Since we are partners, I won't hide it from you. Wang Lei first resigned from Tencent for physical reasons and will rest in his hometown. Then after our vice president Ali got the news, he deliberately went to his hometown and asked him to go out of the mountain, which can be described as full of sincerity. ”

"By the way, Mr. Liu, remember to help me arrange a hot search for this matter. ”

Liu Yunle was happy, this old horse is very powerful, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ma, how do you want to play?"

Lao Ma said the words that had been prepared a long time ago: "Vice President Ali rushed to Wang Lei's hometown and invited him to join Ali. The other party repeatedly refused out of deep affection for Tencent, but Ali's vice president was full of sincerity, looked at the thatched house, and promised not only to make him the president of the game company, but also to take two months of paid leave, so that he could take care of his body first. ”

Liu Yun asked a little puzzled: "Mr. Ma, are you so generous?"

If you just become the president of a game company, you can also give 2 months of paid vacation first.

"Hehe, at the beginning, the company had just been formed, and he could command it remotely from his own home. ”

Liu Yun touched his forehead and sighed: "Mr. Ma, I will definitely give this hot search." ”
