Youdao Group has an unwritten rule, when the meeting is held, Wang Yinan, the person in charge of Zhiwei Technology, must report to the front, and when Wang Yinan reports, the game project department must focus on reporting.

The reason for this is very simple - Zhiwei Technology is the most profitable subsidiary of the entire group.

In Zhiwei Technology, the game project department is the most stable source of income.

In the first three quarters of 2008, the net profit of Zhiwei Technology was 760 million US dollars, of which the total installed capacity of 460 million Zhiwei Security Guard contributed 20%, the main income comes from the navigation page, browser, input method and "installation essential" recommended download.

Zhi contributed to Weibo.

After the "Aoki Earthquake", Youdao Group's donation of 300 million yuan and the large-scale online "Candle Prayer" activity completely established the unshakable hegemony of Zhiwei Weibo.

In September 2008, Zhiwei Weibo tested the waters and launched a "paid promotion" service, and the effect was unexpectedly good.

In October 2008, the total number of registered users of Zhiwei Weibo reached 295 million, approaching 300 million.

After evaluation by a professional organization, the rising momentum of Zhiwei Weibo can easily exceed 600 million registered users by 2010, and by 2012, the number of registered users worldwide is expected to exceed 800 million.

Regardless of the number of registered users, the number of active users, the word-of-mouth index or the influence of public opinion, Zhiwei Weibo is all in the dust, far ahead. From central departments, local governments, social institutions and groups to large and medium-sized enterprises, celebrities, film and television crews, and even foreign embassies and consulates in China, almost all of them have opened accounts on Zhiwei Weibo, reflecting the importance that everyone attaches to Zhiwei Weibo as a public opinion platform.

The huge gap extinguished the catch-up spirit of several other microblogs, and several microblogs held internal meetings to discuss and reposition their own microblogs and reduce capital investment.

So far, Zhiwei Weibo has no rivals.

After there was no opponent, Zhiwei Weibo's revenue skyrocketed, and it signed several long-term advertising orders for Coca-Cola, Mercedes-Benz, iPhone, Pizza Hut, banks, and real estate companies, and began to turn from spending money to making money.

Security guards earn two percent, Zhiwei Weibo earns one percent, the establishment of the shortly established Zhiwei video basically supports the flat, the remaining seventy percent of the profits in the first three quarters of Zhiwei Technology, all of which are earned by Zhiwei Technology's wholly-owned subsidiary, iYou (iyou) Co., Ltd.

In the first three quarters of 2008, iYou Co., Ltd. earned a net profit of 540 million US dollars, among which, "Eight Dragons" and several other self-developed games contributed the most, and they are well-deserved "cash cows", and the earning power of online games is obvious to all.

Bian Xuedao, who tasted the sweetness of the game, ranked the game project department in a very important position and implemented vertical leadership, and He Hongjun, the person in charge of iYou, was directly responsible to Wang Yinan, and Wang Yinan was directly responsible to Bian Xuedao.

When they met, the two words that Bian Xuedao said the most to Wang Yinan and He Hongjun were "self-research".

In another time and space, he witnessed the whole process of Jiucheng, which is not strong in self-research ability, from prosperity to decline and then to half-death, and also witnessed the great success of a number of companies such as NetEase, Tencent, Sohu, and Perfect to support half of the company's income by relying on self-developed games.

"The Legend of Undefeated" is a product of this kind of thinking.

Although "Eight Heavenly Dragons" is gaining momentum, there must be ups and downs, prosperity and decline, everything has a life cycle, and it is impossible to continue to be popular. Smart enterprises must take advantage of the best benefits to invest money in innovation and research and development, develop new sources of income, and not put treasure on a product.

Before "Undefeated Legend", Bian Xuedao had been emphasizing the prospect of web games and mobile games with the game department, but in 2008, there was no objective environment for the popular promotion of web games and mobile games, and the penetration rate of smartphones was not enough.

Therefore, the game project department set up the project "Undefeated Legend" and invested in the research and development of elite soldiers, hoping to create a "super cow" that stands side by side with "Eight Heavenly Dragons".

in the conference room.

Wang Yinan introduced the experience system, skill system, team gameplay and national war strategy of the new game in more detail.

After listening quietly, Bian Xuedao put down the signature pen in his hand, turned his head and said to Fu Caining, who was sitting next to him: "Tell the secretary to put "The Legend of Undefeated" in the laptop in my office. ”

Fu Caining listened, got up and walked out of the conference room, and went to find someone to play the game.

If she doesn't go, only two people can touch the private laptop in Bian Xuedao's office, one is Fu Caining, the other is Yang Enqiao, and no one else is allowed, including Bian Xuedao's secretary. Therefore, Fu Caining must be present during the game.

After Fu Caining left, Bian Xuedao looked at Wu Tian, who was sitting across the conference table, and said with a gentle expression: "Old Wu, I heard that the team has a good record this year, let's talk about it, let everyone be happy." ”

I haven't seen him for a while, Wu Tian has lost a lot of weight, but his mental state is very good. He pressed the microphone in front of him and said: "This year, there are a total of 26 rounds of Chinese League, and there will be a ball tomorrow, November 8th, and the last game will be ...... on the 15th of this month."

Bian Xuedao interrupted with a smile: "Talk about the point." ”

Wu Tian showed a little smugness on his face and said: "In the previous 24 rounds of the league, the club won 20 wins, 4 draws and 0 losses, and has locked the championship of this year's Chinese League. The forward combination of Qifeng and Deyang, coupled with the midfield organization of Zhiyou, Lu Xiong, and Li Chuan, can rank in the top three in the Chinese Super League in terms of attack power, and there is no one to stop in the Chinese League. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Tian said confidently: "In the last two rounds, the club's goal is to win and not lose, strive to be undefeated in the season, and create the club's undefeated legend." ”

Bian Xuedao smiled and waved his hand: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself and the players. No team can win all the time, as long as we win more than everyone else. The foundation of the club's longevity lies in the player training system, and I have three requirements for the training of young players: first, the basic skills should be solid, second, cultivate their fighting spirit and competitiveness from an early age, and third, let them develop the habit of running without the ball from an early age. ”

20 minutes later, Fu Caining walked back to the conference room, and Liao Lian began to report.

Then there are Hong Chengfu, Li Yu, and Tang Zhuo.

Next are the three vice presidents of the group.

Two and a half hours later, I glanced at my watch, turned on the microphone and said, "Say a few things." ”

"The first thing, starting next year, the group's senior executives will take turns to go abroad to investigate and study. ”

"The second thing, starting next year, in addition to the Culture, Film and Television Division, the group's senior executives will be rotated. ”

"The third thing, including me, the vice president of the group, the general manager of the business unit, and the president of the subsidiary, is to disclose an office mobile phone number to internal employees to ensure that each employee can speak his mind. ”

"Fourth, any words and deeds that create small groups, undermine internal unity, and ignore the hierarchical structure are not allowed. In addition, the large number of new hires has diluted Youdao's corporate culture, and I hope that all of you here are aware of the seriousness of this problem. When the temperament of employees and the temperament of the enterprise do not match or even conflict, I hope that the employees will adapt to the enterprise, rather than the enterprise to adapt to the employees. ”

"Fifthly, at the next meeting, I would like the subsidiaries to come up with the company's per capita profit margin for 2008. ”

……

……

Half past two in the afternoon.

Back in the office, Bian Xuedao told the secretary not to disturb him for half an hour, and then walked into the lounge in the middle of the office, and lay on the bed to close his eyes and recuperate.

Youdao Group's stall is too big, and in the past year, he feels tired every time the group has a meeting, and today is especially tired.

Bian Xuedao can feel that the group has reached a critical juncture, and it is relatively easy to climb this slope.

Lying in bed thinking about things, before you know it, people fall into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was nearly evening, and the smell of lampe-berger incense wafted from the office.

got up and walked into the bathroom to wash his face, sat down at the desk, pressed the inner line, and let the secretary in.

The beautiful female secretary sent in a few documents and explained: "Director Fu has been here, and she told me that no one should disturb you on any phone call in the afternoon, so that you can have a good rest." ”

Bian Xuedao asked, "She came into the lounge to see me?"

The secretary nodded.

Bian Xuedao touched the back of his neck and said, "I slept too deeply, I didn't know at all." ”

The secretary said, "There was nothing to do in the afternoon, just these three routine reports. ”

Picked up the report on the table and glanced at it, put it down, and said, "It's not early, you can get off work too." ”

Fifteen minutes later, Bian Xuedao walked into the special elevator with his laptop.

At the elevator entrance of the underground garage, Li Bing and Mu Long picked up the road and walked towards the Mercedes-Benz S600 bulletproof car.

In the car.

Li Bing started the vehicle, turned around and asked Bian Xuedao: "Mr. Bian, where are you going today?"

Thinking that he hadn't been to the "secret hut" for a long time, Bian Xuedao said, "Go to the third house." ”

"No. 3 House" is a secret word between Bian Xuedao and Li Bing, referring to the "secret cabin".

The reason why it is called "No. 3 House" is to take the meaning of "one life, two, two births, three and three births" in the Tao Te Ching.

Bian Xuedao's current wealth, fame, status, and achievements all come from something in the "No. 3 House", which is in line with the words "three lives and all things".
