Chapter 329 - Quarterly Meeting (Part I)
After the National Day holiday, Liu Yun organized a company meeting, which was attended by the management of Yoyo Network and its subsidiary, Yoyo Holiday Network.
After Liu Yun took his seat, he looked around and said with a smile: "The new management should introduce yourself." ”
A man in his thirties with glasses stood up and bowed to everyone, saying, "Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Xudong, and I am the director of Tianqing Studio. He is currently in charge of the development of Demon Domain, and our plan is for the game to be officially open beta in June next year. Finally, I am very grateful to Mr. Liu for his trust and appreciation, and I will definitely go all out to repay Mr. Liu's kindness. ”
Zhao Xudong is a game enthusiast and dreams of developing an online game with his own brand.
After Tianqing Digital was acquired by NetDragon, the boss promised to fully support them in developing an online game of their own. According to the company's original budget, the funds after the sale of 17173 were enough for them to develop an online game.
However, what is unpredictable in the world is the birth of Youyou.com, which greatly reduces the value of 17173 in the eyes of Sohu. NetDragon, the parent company, has no source of funds, and can no longer continue to invest real money to support Tianqing Digital's dream of independent research and development of online games.
Zhao Xudong has invested too much effort and energy in the game "Demon Domain", and he has a hunch that this game will become the masterpiece of Tianqing Digital, which will take his career to a higher level, but due to insufficient research and development funds, he has not been able to make progress for a long time.
He once felt that his future was bleak, and he went to work every day with nothing to do, and there was a feeling of wasting his time, and his former dream had gradually faded away.
At this time, Yoyo Network, an Internet company that has been promoted to an upstart, came unexpectedly and directly bid to acquire Tianqing Digital and "Demon Domain".
Tianqing Digital was merged into Yoyo Network and renamed Tianqing Studio.
The young boss Liu Yun trusted Zhao Xudong very much, and even promised that Zhao Xudong had complete autonomy over the research and development of "Demon Domain" and would not interfere in any way.
At this moment, he realized two words: respect. This kind of thing is sometimes something that money can't buy, and it's a feeling that can only be understood but not expressed.
Liu Yun once said in a sincere tone: "I employ people on one principle: use people without suspicion, and do not use suspicious people." So Xiao Zhao, you can let go of your hands and feet, I am optimistic about your ability, and I am also optimistic about the prospects of the game "Demon Domain". ”
The boss's words inspired him a lot, and his confidence was greatly increased, and he even sprouted a kind of moving to die as a confidant.
He warned himself that he must do a good job in the game "Demon Domain" and must not live up to the trust of his boss.
After Zhao Xudong spoke, another woman stood up and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Shiya, I am the deputy director of Tianqing Studio, responsible for the research and development of the "Zhuxian" project team. ”
Lin Shiya has a temperament that does not allow women to shave their eyebrows, as she said, game development is not a man's world, and female compatriots can also do well.
She graduated from the computer science department of Fudan University, a prestigious university, and received an offer from IBM China before coming to Yoyo Network, when she saw Liu Yun's speech at Zhejiang University and the job posting on the blog, she chose Yoyo Network.
Liu Yun also began to realize that the speech at Zhejiang University, as well as the recruitment information posted on the Sina blog, were constantly exerting a follow-up effect, attracting excellent talents for the company.
He is enjoying the great convenience of the Internet age, as well as his celebrity effect.
Liu Yun took the lead in applauding and said, "Welcome to join the Yoyo network family. ”
The rest of the management also clapped their hands one after another with Liu Yun.
At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Lili, as the financial director, took the lead in making a report, which was roughly the company's revenue in the third quarter, that is, in July, August and September.
Previously, Yoyo Network spent nearly 20 million yuan on the promotion and withdrawal of Warcraft, and then spent money to purchase the blade server designated by Blizzard, and the operation of the game server has been very good, and players in mainland China have almost enjoyed the game experience of European and American players.
After the commercial operation of World of Warcraft, it can be said that the number of paying users has been increasing, and the number of paying users has reached a staggering 3 million in three months, and the number of online users has reached 500,000, and it is still increasing.
In the past three months, "World of Warcraft" has brought 320 million operating income to Yoyo Network. In Liu Yun's memory, the income of Jiucheng in his previous life through Warcraft in a quarter was about 230 million.
Through its excellent operation and stable server status, Yoyo Network has won a good reputation from countless Warcraft players, and has also increased their quarterly operating income by nearly 100 million.
Zhang Lili said with some excitement: "Mr. Liu, even if we only calculate the income brought by the game "World of Warcraft", we can become a first-line Internet company on the Internet. ”
Liu Yun tapped his fingers on the table and replied with a smile: "Stop, stop." This kind of thinking is unavoidable, relying on the agency of an online game to become a front-line Internet company, such a foundation is too weak, like a high-rise building, without a good foundation, there will be a danger of collapse at any time. Director Zhang, you continue. ”
Zhang Lili was quietly educated by Liu Yun, blushed slightly, cleared her throat, and continued: "The operating income of Yoyo Holiday Network in the third quarter was 30 million yuan, and the profit exceeded 3 million yuan for the first time. In the fourth quarter, there is a long holiday for the eleventh day, and I believe that the profit will be higher. ”
"The advertising revenue brought by Youyou.com and Youyou Browser is 12 million yuan. The income of the Yoyo chain Internet café is 3 million yuan. The company's total revenue in the third quarter was a total of 365 million yuan, minus various operating costs, and the net profit was nearly 200 million yuan. ”
When Zhang Lili reported this number, it was difficult to hide the excitement in her heart. As the veteran of the company, she has grown up with the company step by step, from a small website company to today, and has become a first-line Internet company.
A profit of 200 million yuan in a quarter, in 2005, for a company, this is already a very amazing income, and she can also get a lot of dividends as a manager.
Some of the management present were also full of excitement after hearing the supervisor report this figure, and some people whispered and whispered something.
Some of the company's veterans also have a sense of accomplishment, when they first joined the company two years ago, no one expected that this young boss would bring the company to this point, and some new management is also gearing up and eager to try, they are looking forward to standing on the shoulders of giants and bringing Yoyo Network to a new level.
