Listening to Xiao Daiming's discussion, Lin Yi felt very reasonable: "No matter how bad a goal is, it is better than no goal." It's a big confusion to lose your bearing!"

The gaming industry drives the economy and creates jobs, while some games break down the boundaries between learning and playing. The more deeply the two discussed, the more the idea of the game changing the world became.

To solve the problem of retreat, it is also time to be pragmatic: "Whether it is the quality management of old problems or the target management of new problems, it is related to employee motivation." Lao Xiao, tell me about your combination boxing. ”

"The 552 project and the positive attitude of employees can bring benefits to the enterprise. But change is a long-term strategy, not a blitzkrieg. Enterprises share a beautiful vision, but also share the real benefits. After all, there are more pragmatists. ”

"The monthly reward and punishment system can spur them on from time to time. Quarterly and annual systems can prevent the backlash of incentives. The three-year equity incentive plan bundles employees and the enterprise into one. The combination of long-, medium- and short-term incentives is a perfect whole. ”

Xiao Daiming's documents have accumulated a thick stack, which is enough to form a manual. In detail, Lin Yi doesn't have to worry about it, just look at the reasons and expected results.

Just like in the game, if you get through all the dungeons, you lose your freshness. And short-term incentive strategies, like expansion films, are often launched to ensure freshness.

The medium-term incentive strategy can prevent employees from overexerting themselves. For the sake of excess performance bonuses, completely ignoring customer qualifications, and a lot of contracts becoming bad debts, Lin Yi has not seen it.

Medium-term performance tells employees that if the game starts with a burst of troops, it can't explode the economy at the same time. Long-term equity incentives, like participating in game evaluations, become a part of the players. 'I am for the company, the company is for me', is no longer an empty slogan!

For the whole set of combination punches, Xiao Daiming made a mathematical model. A chart was formed, similar to a mind map, but the summary was very simple: "The distribution of benefits in the third phase, long-term accounts for 50%, medium-term accounts for 30%, and short-term accounts for 20%, I call it the 532 Project." ”

Lin Yi thought for a while and added: "The Legal Affairs Department told me that this year's U.S. Tax Code has added Section 401K. Pensions are no longer mandatory, and labor relations have changed. Employees of Paradise Games also join the Asia-Pacific Trust Plan, which can be regarded as a bundle of ultra-long-term interests. ”

The restructuring team discussed for a week and formed a general plan: American Paradise Games, which made a profit of more than 60 million last year. Based on a 10x P/E ratio, the market value is calculated. 15 million shares were registered, each valued at $40, and the company was worth 600 million.

'Stock options', if you want to exercise the option to get stocks, you need to spend money to buy them. The market price is not profitable at all, so the company has an internal accounting price. Depending on the size of the contribution, at $4 per share, the subscription shares of employees range from 100 to 100,000 shares.

However, in addition to the first employees, there are also senior managers, and the others are at most a few thousand. The first and foremost, of course, is the CEO, and he can exercise his power immediately. Phelan signed the check and handed over the $1 million to the company's treasurer.

Lin Yi congratulated him: "With 250,000 shares, the net worth will immediately increase tenfold, and it will rise next year." How's that good new multi-millionaire, isn't it? My promise to you has now been exceeded!"

Fei Lan showed a wry smile and turned out his pocket: "The salary of the past few years has been returned to you at one time." Now the wallet is empty, and the marriage can only wait for next year. ”

"The annual salary is 800,000, which can be compared to the first-line president. As a result, you only need 400,000, who will you complain about with empty pockets?"

"High option rewards, low wage yields, this is the rule of the game in Silicon Valley. I don't lead by example, and the cost of doing business will definitely skyrocket. ”

"We've come this far, we can already change the rules, and even make new ones!" The conversation between the two ended with a domineering declaration.

After the general trend was settled, Lin Yi did not leave the company, but found Tom and Jack: "With your credit, there should have been at least one million options." You don't have to work hard, you can get it directly, do you want to change your mind?"

Jack is immovable: "Games change the world, and this new dream is fantastic. Heaven is a 10,000-ton ship that can indeed cleave the waves, but I love storms even more. ”

Tom nodded straightly: "Life without excitement is really not exciting enough!"

Lin Yi smiled: "If you are not strong-willed, I am afraid that you will have to consider recovering your investment." In addition, every brick and tile of heaven has traces of yours. Although the option is invalid, I personally gave away 1,000 shares, which can be regarded as a memory. ”

Although the money is not much, people have feelings, so Tom is sincerely grateful: "Boss, don't worry, after the new company opens, it will definitely be the exclusive developer of Paradise." ”

Lin Yi smiled again: "Send good things over, if there is a cheating game, send it to the opponent." ”

Heaven has worked his internal skills and has become vigorous again. And the old enemy Atari has been in trouble one after another.

Originally, the number of games increased by thousands every month, which strongly boosted VCS sales. After the switch to Hong Kong, the price of the host machine dropped significantly, and the total sales volume exceeded one million in one fell swoop. If this trend continues, quantity will really trump quality.

However, Activision, which has not been open for a long time, has given the old club a blow in the face: "Since the VCS has an open interface, any game release should be treated fairly." ”

Not to be outdone, Atari said: "Even if you don't mention your betrayal, the idea for these games probably came from our company." ”

The quarrel escalated and eventually went to court. Activision v. Atari that failure to fulfill public commitments is a breach of contract. Atari countersued Activision for plagiarizing intellectual achievements, and should be compensated and banned from industry access.

Unfortunately, the Atari Game Development Department has disappeared and has not received strong testimony. At the press conference, the promise of an open platform was seen as a verbal contract. You can't talk nonsense, and in the end, you can only swallow the bitter fruit.

Atari's defeat attracted more gold diggers. Even the oat food merchants have improvised a kick in the game. Atari was overly open, attracting not only bees and butterflies, but also flies and mosquitoes.

There is a Mystique company that has developed an adult game called Custer's Revenge. Although the naked ** is just a few pink blocks, the explicit sexual innuendo has aroused strong disgust from parents and led to mass protests.

Xiang Sunhua commented: "A white general, braving the rain of bullets and raping an Indian woman, is simply a 'devil entering the village'." Racial discrimination, so blatant, can be successfully released?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but sarcastically: "Even the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis, who only make speeches and do not engage in violence, can live freely and freely, isn't this the United States? Moreover, because of the flood of bad reviews in this game, the author has made a lot of money!"

However, in this era, the traditional power of parent-teacher associations and various religious groups is still quite strong. Health Secretary Fret publicly denounced: "This game is notorious, poisons the body and mind of teenagers, and is a shame for American society!"
