Chapter 170: Sohu's plundering of the interests of game companies

Boss Zhang's worry is that as the living environment deteriorates, he has to worry.

Sohu is a pioneer of the Chinese Internet, but in terms of overall strength, it is worse than Sina and a little better than NetEase. Sohu has always wanted to be the boss of the portal news website, from the acquisition, and the first to be listed on the NASDAQ, step by step to catch up with the opponent Sina, now everyone has reached the most difficult time, Boss Zhang wants to get rid of the position of the second in 10,000 years to make Sohu to a higher level, he has to come up with a good idea to kill the opponent in one fell swoop at the most difficult time.

Sohu wants to survive against adversity, and the bosses of other companies are not stupid.

At least another piece of information on Boss Zhang's desk shows that Sina, one of the old rivals, began to focus on the development of instant messaging software, and there is already a same-city chat software that is being launched.

Another portal news website, Wangyi, according to the exact news, has summoned technical personnel to step up the research and development of Chinese-style online games that belong to NetEase.

Although it is difficult, under the strong shadow of the game of Bloody Legend, some online games that have been introduced to South Korea and Treasure Island have been killed one after another, and maybe the original Chinese-style online games will have enough novelty to retain users.

These two rivals have projects to deal with the Internet bubble economy, on the other hand, Sohu, in addition to a packaged community product, can also let users stay, there is no new product launch at all.

It's a rhythm that is going to be sleepy.

It has been almost 20 minutes since the person in charge of the technical department called, and the other party has not yet come, Boss Zhang is very angry with the work attitude of the company's employees, and he is not in a hurry when he is burning his eyebrows, he wants to dismiss a group of employees to stabilize the morale of the army.

Boss Zhang continued to make a second call, and the person in charge of the Sohu Technology Department was late.

The person in charge of the technical department of Sohu is surnamed Li, called Li Ye, joined Sohu for three years, the reason for the late is that the task of pressing on the head of the technical department has almost made him breathless, the boss wants the technical department to come up with a new product planning plan, but the essence of Sohu is to do portal news, to escape this framework to open up new markets, it is very difficult, some of the underlying technical employees, can not stand this concept of technological change, the idea of resignation is very strong, until now he has received three resignation reports, ready to hand over to the company's personnel department for approval.

This time I went to see the boss, just to reflect the problem, let the boss see, blindly involved in other projects The consequence is the loss of technical personnel.

When he came to the boss's office and saw Boss Zhang sitting in front of him with a displeased face, Li Ye knew that he would be scolded if he didn't do it today.

"Mr. Zhang, are you looking for me?"

Li Ye stood in front of Boss Zhang very cautiously and meticulously, and knew that the boss was in a bad mood, so don't touch the mold.

Boss Zhang said "um", Li Ye is an old employee of Sohu, he originally wanted to scold people, but it is not easy to think about old employees, and he has all the credit and hard work. He put up with the other party's lateness and asked, "Does the technical department have any plans for new products?" Whether it is making online games or developing instant messaging software, I always have to give the company an answer. ”

Li Ye was stunned on the spot again.

Several heads of the technical department discussed the feasibility of both options, but both were overturned.

Don't look at the current online games are hot by an Internet company, but those who know know that people have made full preparations for operating games, if Sohu blindly launches this project and finally hits the street, they are sinners, especially now, in the era of the Internet bubble economy, one is not careful, Sohu overturned, all the pots are on their backs, no one is 100% sure, no one dares to judge.

"Boss, the technical department has discussed that online games and instant messaging are not in line with the content of Sohu itself. Even if we want to do it, we have to go through other options. ”

Li Ye replied in a low voice, saying that it was equivalent to not saying it. It's been more than ten days, and a group of people can't even come up with a plan, and they feel a little embarrassed.

When Boss Zhang heard this, he became angry.

"Don't the technical department don't want this job anymore? You just need to draw up a feasible plan, and you can't hand it over to the company? If you can't do it, just roll up and leave, and the company will ask for another master. If you look at the teams of Sina and NetEase, other people's content can be compatible with these, one is already developing an online game, and the other has launched a chat room in the same city, but Sohu can't do it?

Look at your own team, and then look at the team under the hands of a young man under the age of twenty, there are all kinds of talents, Boss Zhang feels that Yanjing City is so big, why is it so difficult to find talents.

Li Ye lost his temper when he was scolded by his boss. After thinking about it, in order not to continue to be scolded by the mother, they took out a plan they had discussed.

It's just that this plan can't be put on the table, and it can't be pushed to users openly, it belongs to the dark industry of the Internet, but it's very treatable in extraordinary times, don't care about him, say it out first and gag the boss's mouth.

Li Ye said: "Boss, in fact, our technical department also has a plan, but I think it is not very authentic, so I haven't studied it in depth." But we have analyzed this solution, and there is a good chance of success, which will bring a lot of benefits to the company. ”

When Boss Zhang heard that this group of guys didn't eat rice, they actually had a plan, and asked, "What plan?" ”

Li Ye said: "If Sohu makes a game, we need to invest a lot of money and manpower, and the current situation of Sohu is equivalent to a desperate bet, and if it succeeds, it is just to grab some users with the bloody legend, and if it fails, we will bet on the future of Sohu, the risk is too high to be worth the risk." As for instant messaging software, even if Sohu wants to do it, it is a latecomer, and the future is unknown. But we can be leaders in other industries. ”

Boss Zhang asked, "What industry?"

Li Ye thought for a while and said directly: "Based on today's hottest hot-blooded legendary online games and online games launched by any game company later, develop game plug-ins!"

Boss Zhang didn't understand and asked him, "What is the prospect of this product?"

Li Ye said: "Game plug-ins are actually to destroy the fairness of the game, so that players can experience the thrill of upgrading in the game very quickly, and let players form a dependence on playing games by opening the game." Once a player relies on cheats, it's the day we make money. The key is that the cost of plug-in development is very cheap, but the return is profiteering, but in this way, it is to destroy the interests of the game company to make a profit, which belongs to the Internet dark industry chain, but it will be a help for Sohu to get out of the Internet bubble economy! ”

Boss Zhang doesn't care if he is dark or not, as long as he can survive for a while, even if he asks Ranhu to push psoriasis advertisements on the official website.

"Go down and make a detailed plan immediately, and hand it over to me tomorrow. ”

Boss Zhang said excitedly. He thinks this plan is good, mainly because the investment is small, the effect is fast, the return is good, and it is a good project to make money, as long as there is a way to solve the dilemma, it is a good thing, regardless of whether he is a dark industry chain, and now the Internet is still an era when everyone wants to kill whoever is the boss. It's a big deal for Sohu to do a plug-in, don't promote it personally, change to a leather bag company or studio, it's okay, and Sohu doesn't have to take the blame if something happens.

The boss agreed, and Li Ye could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay boss, I'll go down and get it right away!"

I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it seems that they are too moral, or the boss is black-hearted, and he actually decided on this project without any guilt. You know, when they discussed the feasibility of plug-ins, they thought that this thing could take away one-third of the interests of game companies, and it was really unearned.

After all, Li Ye is an upright technical man, but he is under the roof, and he has to get paid to eat, so he can only do things with his conscience.

Before leaving, Li Ye reacted to the boss about the employee's impetuous resignation mentality, probably to remind the boss that the employees were in a bad mood.

Boss Zhang told him that if he wants to go, he will leave, and what he leaves behind is the core of Sohu. This means that there is no objection to employees leaving.

Well, Li Ye saw the ruthlessness of the capitalists and left Boss Zhang's office.

However, before he left, Boss Zhang asked him, "Who first came up with the idea of developing plug-ins?"

Li Ye said: "A newcomer who has just joined the company, surnamed Wen, is called Wen Congxin!"

Boss Zhang said: "Put him in the technical department to be the person in charge of this project!" Tell him that if he does a good job, he will be the vice president of the technical department. ”

Li Ye twitched his cheeks.

It seems that whoever can save the company now will be reused.

………

The press conference of the bloody legend went smoothly, and Xiao Ping was also reporting the operation data in a timely manner. Chen Chuliang, who finished talking to Xiao Ping, was finally able to relax and rest for a while.

Clean up the kitchen for Chen Ying. Yang Jiacheng was busy with all the meals he made in the morning, he poured them all into the trash, leaving only the hairy crabs in the steamer and felt that it was a waste.

October is the season of eating crabs, almost every crab has crab roe, and the crab meat is also thick, he unceremoniously ate all the hairy crabs in the steamer, and then he went to the living room to accompany Chen Ying for a while.

Chen Ying's health is not very good, but he knows that Chen Chuliang is very busy and can't use this as an excuse to keep him, so he said, "You are busy, just go first, I can do it myself." ”

Chen Chuliang didn't go back to the company when he went back, he only needed to go to the celebration party at night, Chen Ying's apartment was a two-bedroom apartment, and he was a little sleepy, so he asked: "Can I sleep in the other room?"

Chen Ying said: "There is no quilt, if you are sleepy, you can sleep in my room." ”

Chen Chuliang asked him, "I sleep in your room, where do you sleep?" Or do we sleep together?"

Chen Ying snorted: I'll sit on the sofa and lie down for a while.

Chen Chuliang is really sleepy, driving home is definitely fatigued, he wants to fall asleep now, and said politely, "Then I'll go to sleep!" He had already walked to Chen Ying's room.
