Chapter 337: Slow Growth
When Rococo returned to China, it was already mid-September.
When Rococo came back, the company looked at Rococo up and down, and couldn't take their eyes off it.
When did their CEO finally start to realize that she really needed to dress up a little more maturely?
All of them have questions in their minds.
If before Rococo was forcibly 18 years old, then Rococo is now forcibly 22 or 23 years old.
Actually, it can only be said that each has its own well.
Before Rococo was a big girl, but now, it is more like a goddess.
Yes! I used to be an intern and a reserve, but now, I should have officially turned into a regular soldier.
Of course, whether it was because he just came back from the United States, so he was dressed like this, and whether he would return back in a few days, no one can pack a ticket for this.
……
As soon as Rococo returned, he entered the conference room - for an interview.
Previously, Rococo announced that it would set up an overseas development and investment department.
As a result, those in China who resigned from other places and came over needed Rococo to talk to each other personally.
When Rococo walked into the conference room, including Zhao Jianwen, Liu Feiyan, and one who came to apply, they were already sitting there.
"Xu Liang!"
When Zhao Jianwen saw Rococo coming in, he also got up and introduced Rococo.
"Rococo."
Rococo took the initiative to step forward, smiled and shook the other hand.
"Luoshen, Mr. Luo, in the domestic Internet community, there should be no one who doesn't know."
"Sit."
After Rococo finished speaking, he also found a random place to sit down.
Immediately after, the interview begins:
"On your resume, it is written that you have worked at Tencent?"
Rococo asked, looking at his resume.
"Yes, because Tencent also has a department related to overseas investment. I was with David, Tencent's senior executive vice president. ”
"Why did you think of jumping ship, we love to share?"
Rococo asked again.
"Because, I think the stage for love sharing will be bigger. I'm not here to learn anything, I'm here to apply what I've learned from Tencent to iSharing, which can bring better development to iSharing, and at the same time, bring better development to myself. ”
"You seem to be confident. However, this position is not possible without some interpersonal relationships and network resources. After all, you were originally just a small follower of Tencent's senior executive vice president, why do you think that I will invite you? ”
"When I was around David, I wasn't just a sidekick. I'm also actively cultivating my network. ”
Xu Liang replied.
"You don't mind taking a look at your phone, do you?"
"Don't mind." Xu Liang.
How well a person is connected, just look at the contacts stored on the phone.
Rococo flipped through casually, a lot, and a lot of it was an English name.
Rococo returned the phone to Xu Liang, and then said, "If I give you a task now, I want to invest in a company related to artificial intelligence cars, do you have any relevant contacts on the phone?" ”
"Uh...... Temporarily...... No. ”
"So what do you think you should do? Maybe I don't do things in a different way than a lot of people, I'm more of a point-in-finger type. I would think of an idea and let someone do it, and I wouldn't care how difficult it was. ”
"I have a way!"
Xu Liang gritted his teeth and said.
"Tell me about it."
"Now there are only a few companies that do artificial intelligence cars, as long as you contact one of them and talk to their boss, the entire industry will be roughly clear at a glance."
"I also know that it's okay to do this, but the problem is, other people don't benefit at all, and it has nothing to do with you, so why should I tell you the relevant information?"
"There are many ways, I may not have anything to do with the other person, but as long as I find someone who has a relationship with him. Or, you can build a relationship right away. ”
"You've been with Tencent's senior executive vice president for four years."
"Yes."
"What do you think you've learned the most in the past four years?"
……
The entire interview.
It went on for two hours.
Rococo asks in many different ways.
And Xu Liang's answer to her was quite decent.
Although Rococo is not sure if Xu Liang can really do it, he might as well give it a try.
It's a pity that Xu Liang originally had a lot of contact with some foreign game companies.
In terms of science and technology, there really isn't much to know.
It seems that talents in this area still have to be found abroad.
Rococo plans to find at least ten people to come back.
Including different nationalities.
After the interview, it's almost time to get off work.
Talked to Zhao Jianwen and the rest of the executives and had a meal together.
Then it didn't take long for a dozen or so people to sit at a table.
During the meal, Rococo listened to Zhao Jianwen's report for the first half of the year.
The data center in Guizhou will be put into use by the end of the year, and when the time comes, the network resources of iSharing will become more accessible. You don't have to make only high-quality games anymore, even if it's a little inferior game, as long as you can make money, you can take it.
Several leaders of the game division also reported to Rococo on the recent work progress and arrangements of the game division.
It is expected that the revenue of iShare Games will increase by 60% year-on-year this year.
To be honest, it's a bit low, but it's actually related to Rococo's requirements, Rococo says to save resources, only do well, and in order to make better quality games, the development cycle is often lengthened. As a result, revenue growth has slowed and revenue growth has lagged.
Rococo simply calculated, an increase of 60%, then this year's estimated income is not much, minus various taxes, shares and expenses, I am afraid it will be 10 billion. In the previous year, it was 6 billion.
In the face of such slow growth......
If other companies hear Rococo say it's slow growth, they're going to cry. Because many companies can grow by 100% or even 200%, it is because their income at the beginning is not much at all, and even many of them are not more than 200 million, and suddenly there is a relatively hot one, 400 million all of a sudden, which is of course skyrocketing.
It can only be said that in 2015, the revenue growth of most game companies declined, and this also includes Tencent. Tencent said that it was a year-on-year increase of 52% in the second quarter, but this figure has not yet counted expenses, and if expenses are deducted and net profit is calculated, then this growth will definitely fall below 35%. And 60% of Rococo is already counting all the expenses.
Therefore, Ai Share is 60%, while Tencent is only 35%, and the growth rate of Rococo is still very impressive.
"It's a bit of a no-brainer. At this rate, when will love sharing earn 100 billion a year? ”
When everyone here heard Rococo's words, they all sprayed tea.
Good guys, with an annual income of 100 billion, in terms of games, the total global game revenue is only about 400 billion, according to this year's data analysis. If iShare can earn hundreds of billions of dollars a year, then iShare is already a world-class game company and a world-class overlord.
After listening to the reports of the people at the table, Rococo felt that it was right for her to do other industries, because this game was growing too slowly.
This is in the opinion of Rococo himself. (To be continued.) )
