In order to promote the development and growth of "Pokemon", Zhang Lexing is not only a comic and a lottery, but also plans to launch "Pokemon" battle cards and animations, and also plans to produce "Pokemon" doll peripherals, etc., in short, it is to gather all the power in his hands to build "Pokemon" into a brand, so that it can become a well-known and popular brand, this is only the first step, if successful, Zhang Lexing also intends to rely on the gourd to draw a scoop, continue to create different styles across games, animation, Brands in multiple media such as television and film will surely be more solid in the entertainment empire they have created.

But these are all later stories, after arranging the follow-up work of "Pokemon", Zhang Lexing has turned his attention to Hong Kong at this time, taking advantage of the company's annual meeting, from time to time to communicate with the busy Chen Zishan.

On January 19, the first day of the company's annual meeting, the company's annual meeting was held at the Peninsula Hotel's conference center, but due to the company's expansion, the number of participants increased. At nine o'clock in the morning, the annual meeting officially began, according to the usual presiding over the meeting or the general manager of Oriental Holdings Hua Ziqing, lightly tried the tone, he stood on the floor and said today's opening remarks: "...... Today, we are gathered here to hold the annual meeting of Oriental Industrial Group, which is the second session. In the past year, the whole group has continued to develop steadily in accordance with the established goals, and strives for better results in the industries of microelectronics, electronic entertainment, media, animation, consumer goods, consumer electronics, software, finance, real estate and investment......

Next, we invite all business divisions to come to the stage one by one to introduce their respective business conditions in accordance with the previously agreed order, and first of all, Chen Bangguo, a representative of the microelectronics business department, is invited to speak, and everyone is welcome. ”

In the warm applause of everyone, Chen Bangguo walked to the speaker's seat on the stage, bowed slightly to the audience, and began to introduce: "Leaders, colleagues, hello everyone. I am Chen Bangguo from the Microelectronics Division, and I will introduce to you the group's operation in the microelectronics industry last year. In FY 1995, the Group's factories produced a total of 6.5 million ICs, of which 6.4 million were delivered, of which 3.2 million R-3000A were delivered to Sony's game console production plants. The total revenue for the year was HK$1.843 billion, a year-on-year increase of 22.6%, and the full-year profit after deducting costs and related expenses was HK$680 million, a year-on-year increase of 28.3%......"

After saying the data he had in one breath, Chen Bangguo sighed, bowed slightly to the audience again, and then walked off the stage and returned to his seat to sit down. This is the second annual meeting of the company, and with last year's experience, he has no idea of competing for rankings, as long as it can be greatly improved compared with last year's revenue.

The second person to take the stage was Xu Yeming, a representative of the electronic entertainment division, who cleared his throat and said: "In 1995, the group acquired a total of 18 game production companies, including British bullfrog and American naughty dog, and acquired five small game publishers, which greatly enhanced the company's strength in game production and distribution. Last year, the group established a new company responsible for the game publishing business in mainland China, Fengyun Interactive, together with Asia Interactive, Activision in the United States and Eidos in the United Kingdom, the group's game publishing network has spread to major regions around the world. Last year, the Group's publishing companies released a total of 227 games on various platforms, including 152 games from its game production companies, achieving cumulative sales of 75.1 million units. Revenue for the year was HK$23,431 million, excluding expenses and expenses, and profit for the year was HK$9,672 million......"

After speaking, Xu Yeming's gaze swept over Chen Lianming and Zhang Wenshan who were sitting in the audience, he knew that the only ones that could compete with the data of his own department were animation and investment, without them, the electronic entertainment division would definitely rank first in the group, but with these two, especially the investment division, the position of the electronic entertainment division is difficult to say. The people in other departments in the audience still had surprised expressions, but when Xu Yeming stepped down from the speaker, he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Dai Shihua is a representative of the media division, after a year of exercise, his mentality has been very peaceful, and when he hears the tens of billions of revenue of the electronic entertainment division, he will not be as troubled as before, he knows that with the current foundation, if there is no large-scale mergers and acquisitions, the data of his own department will not rise to that extent, so he was very calm when he stepped into the speaker.

Looking at the audience, Dai Shihua said with a smile: "In 1995, the Media Division mainly integrated and digested internally, made appropriate adjustments to the two newspapers and three magazines under the Scholar Newspaper, and began to build a news website based on the Scholar Newspaper. Star Media has mainly opened some new channels and signed landing agreements in several regions to further expand the coverage of the channel and begin to increase the intensity of its own programs. In 1995, a total profit of HK$352 million was ......"

After Dai Shihua stepped down from the speaker's seat, he was followed by Chen Lianming, the representative of the animation division, who was not in a good mood, and did not start with a joke as before, but said directly: "At present, the group has a number of professional animation production companies and publishing companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, France, the United Kingdom and other places, including animation distribution, adaptation authorization and peripheral licensing, with an annual revenue of 21.867 billion Hong Kong dollars and a total profit of 9.266 billion Hong Kong dollars......"

The data of the animation division once again caused some people in the audience to exclaim, but Xu Yeming, who was still a little weak just now, smiled, he knew that the data of his department this year at least overwhelmed the animation division, which was a very good news for him.

Next to the stage was Shen Meiqin, the representative of the consumer goods division, she was very modest, bowed, and then began her report: "In 1995, on the basis of the Gamei Toys and Clothing Design Center, new design centers were established in New York and Paris, and the number of authorized factories was increased to 15. Last year, through OEM sales, the annual revenue was 4.362 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the profit was 1.695 billion Hong Kong dollars......"

Then Yuan Yiqing, the representative of the consumer electronics division, came to the stage, and then said: "In 1995, in addition to the original comprehensive consumer electronics design center, the group also set up a new product research and development center in Tsukuba, Japan, Silicon Valley, the United States, and continued to develop direct production plants and a number of authorized manufacturers, the main products include learning machines, electronic dictionaries, VCD-related spare parts and electronic pets, etc., last year achieved a total profit of 480 million Hong Kong dollars......"

The software division has been established for more than a year, and began to gradually adjust and expand the software companies under its management, and the corresponding profits have also made great progress, but unfortunately electronic entertainment and animation are in front, and Liang Xinfang, the representative of the software division, has no hope, and it is already good to occupy the fourth position, so she is very calm when she comes to power.

Clearing his throat, Liang Xinfang began to introduce: "The group has a number of software companies such as Sunrise Software, Leyiyang, Kingsoft General, Yulefang, etc., and its business has spread throughout the mainland, Hong Kong, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other places, with sales revenue of 15.387 billion Hong Kong dollars and a total profit of 6.203 billion Hong Kong dollars in 1995......"

Immediately after the turn of the representative of the financial division Tang Lishen and the representative of the real estate division Liang Jun took the stage to speak, but compared to the results of the two are not obvious, the financial division of a year is to gradually increase the number of shares held by Standard Chartered Bank from 26.8% to 27.7%, only 0.9 percentage points, as for the profit is still the annual dividend of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, but the corresponding has brought great convenience to the capital flow of the entire group.

The real estate division, in addition to investing a relatively large amount of energy in the construction of the research park last year, while looking for a location for the construction of the research park in Shanghai and Shenzhen, also tried to develop commercial real estate by the way, of course, because it still needs time to further develop, so it can be said that there is still no profit in 1995.

The last to take the stage was Zhang Wenshan, the representative of the investment department, and the performance of several investment funds under his command was very eye-catching, which made him feel very happy. After trying the audition, he began to introduce with a smile: "At present, the group has three investment funds, Dream, AllianceBernstein and Desheng, and through investment in foreign exchange, stocks, futures, real estate and other markets and specific patents, it achieved a total profit of 5.88 billion US dollars in 1995, which is equivalent to about 45.523 billion Hong Kong dollars according to the latest exchange price!"

"Hiss......" The audience gasped, almost everyone was shocked by this number, I didn't expect that after last year, the investment division handed over a very beautiful answer sheet, and once again pressed the other eight divisions under the power of one department, how can it not be surprising.

After the report of each business department was completed, Zhang Le walked to the speaker and made a concluding speech, which was the end of the whole morning meeting. After eating the working meal arranged at noon, everyone was divided into nine groups according to the different industries to which they belonged, and discussed the future business strategy in different conference rooms and their respective business divisions. Because it was a scattered discussion, Zhang Lexing also lacked skills, so he simply arranged all his assistants to go out to listen and track the discussion, while Zhang Lexing himself was ready to take the Mercedes-Benz S600Pullman to find Chen Zishan, of course, the Anda Tai Security Company, which was responsible for the security work during the entire meeting, did not forget to arrange people to follow.

Chen Zishan's biological laboratory under construction is located near Tai Po Industrial Tun, and there happens to be a vacant land in the Hong Kong R&D Park.

When the group came to the parking lot of the Peninsula Hotel, Zhang Lexing opened the car door and was about to get into the car, when suddenly a shout came from behind him: "Boss, please wait a minute." ”

Zhang Lexing looked back when he heard the sound, it turned out that Chu Jing was here, so he pushed the car door shut, turned around and asked, "Well, what's the matter?"

"Boss, there are some things to report about the creative workshop, do you have time?" Chu Jing walked a few steps, stopped in front of Zhang Lexing, and replied.

"Oh, why don't you get in the car. ”

"Okay. Chu Jing nodded.

The group got into the car, with a black business car as the lead, Mercedes-Benz S600 in the center, and another black business car broke off to form a convoy and drove to Dapu in the north. In the Mercedes-Benz S600 car, Ma Guanghai and the driver sat in the front and passenger seats, and only Zhang Lexing and Chu Jing were left in the spacious space behind.

"Chu Jing, thanks to your help over the years, otherwise the creative workshop would not have developed so fast. Although Zhang Lexing has not seen all of Chu Jing's efforts in the past few years, he can still feel it through daily reports and the development of the creative workshop.

"This is what I should do, get paid. Chu Jing replied with a smile.

The time from The Peninsula Hotel to Tai Po is not very long, so after a few words of greeting, Zhang Lexing turned to the topic, "By the way, Chu Jing, what are you going to say just now?"

"Well, it's about the future of the Workshop. Chu Jing said.

"Oh, let's hear it. Zhang Lexing leaned back, revealing a listening expression.

"After several years of development, the current creative workshop has more than 500 employees, the scale is already very large, the annual expenses are also very high, and the new phase of the Fengyun Game Academy has reached 360 students, if we continue to recruit this year, the number of employees in the creative workshop will exceed 800, which is probably more than our current management capacity. So I discussed with Manager Li to see if the recruitment should be postponed this year, or if there will be fewer recruits......"

"This is not good, the most lacking thing in China now is game development talents, so I thought of giving them a chance to develop, if they don't recruit anymore, maybe some very potential talents will lose the opportunity. Besides, that's a lot of people......" Zhang Lexing remembered that there had always been a shortage of game developers in the era of online games, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Hmm......" Chu Jing lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued: "In that case, I have an idea. At present, there are already a lot of people in the workshop, and it is indeed inconvenient to increase it, and there may be fewer opportunities for exercise if there are too many people, so I suggest that you consider splitting it. ”

"Spin-off? You mean to take some people from the workshop to set up another company?" Zhang Lexing asked as he looked at Chu Jing.

"Yes, that's what it means. I've studied other companies under Oriental Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., and companies with a very low degree of commercialization such as Creative Workshop can be said to have no at all, and in this atmosphere, over-expansion of personnel will bring a relatively large burden, and it is not conducive to the growth of developers. In this case, you can consider setting up a more commercial game development company or game studio, which can not only reduce the burden on the creative workshop, but also provide a better opportunity for everyone to exercise. Chu Jing explained.

After listening to what Chu Jing said, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but fall into deep thought, in fact, he had such a plan, but he had not yet made up his mind when to start, hoping to give the development team of the creative workshop more time to develop. However, Chu Jing's words today gave Zhang Lexing a new understanding, as the saying goes, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, the first generation of the creative workshop development team has more than five years of development experience, and the second generation also has more than three years of experience, it is also time to give everyone a chance to fly, experience in the wind and rain, so that you have the opportunity to really grow. If it is still the same as before, always deliberately creating a safe and stress-free environment, even if it can be developed, I am afraid that it will only be some greenhouse flowers, once it will face real competition in the future, it may not be able to withstand the huge pressure at all.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing glanced at Chu Jing gratefully: "Chu Jing, thank you for reminding." By the way, have you ever thought about how to do that?"

"I've studied Tianzhiyuan, and their current system is based on four companies in Shanghai, Fuzhou, Beijing, and Guangzhou, and on this basis, a number of game studios have been set up, which can not only maintain the flexibility of management, but also form a relatively strong development strength. I think we can refer to it......" Chu Jing thought for a moment and then said her idea.

According to Chu Jing's concept, the future creative workshop can also set up independent accounting companies in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, but will not use the current model to operate, but will use the normal commercial way to operate, in order to show the difference, companies in other regions can even not use the name of the creative workshop. At the same time, it is also possible to set up a separate game development studio initiated by a group of employees on a voluntary basis, and once the game studio is running well, there is a chance to upgrade to a game development company. In the future, the creative workshop and Fengyun Game Academy will become the main base for talent training, and other companies and studios will operate according to the business model, independently develop games, and sign contracts with game publishing companies, which can not only solve the problem of redundant personnel, but also create more development opportunities for everyone.

Chu Jing's suggestion can be said to have opened up another world of development for the creative workshop, and there is no longer any need to be entangled in whether it is commercialized, Zhang Lexing can't help but fall into the imagination of the future of the creative workshop.

The three-car convoy was turning from Princess Road to Waterold Road at this time, and a white Bentley sports car suddenly accelerated to pass from the side, and almost brushed the lead car, and the driver of the lead car couldn't help but put his head out of the window and cursed. In a public telephone booth on the side of the road, a young man who seemed to be on the phone witnessed all this, he immediately pulled up his collar and whispered: "Dog head report, the eagle is returning to the nest, a white cat ran over just now, do you want a veterinarian to check it?"

At the same time, on the eighth floor of a nearby building, a bright light flashed through the half-open window, and an undercurrent seemed to quietly begin to surge......
