Chapter 130: Golden Feather Award (2)

is also one of the protagonists in the recent turmoil, this professional manager, known as the "Emperor of Workers", has a more legendary career than Chen Xiaowei.

Starting as a technician, he was promoted to the president of Juhard China in just ten years, and switched to Shengda in 04.

Many people think that Tang Jun has completed the three most important things in Shengda:

First, he personally led the company to be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, becoming the first online game company in China to be successfully listed, and also sent the boss Chen Qiao to the position of the richest man in China. Not only that, the listing of Shengda has also greatly stimulated the development of the entire industry, under the leadership of the leader, so far there have been nine online game companies in the country successfully listed, and there are more than 20 ready to go public.

Second, in February 05, Shengda acquired 19.5% of Xinlang's shares from the open market for $230 million, becoming the largest shareholder of Xinlang, whose shares were already scattered, and almost merged two of China's first and second generation representative Internet giants into a market value of $10 billion, which is enough to be compared with Gu Ge Yibei. Just in order to protect the interests of shareholders and maintain its independence, Xinlang adopted a "poison pill plan" for Shengda, which greatly increased Shengda's acquisition costs.

During this period, the box developed by Shengda with huge investment was cold, the digital family strategy failed, and there was a lack of acquisition funds, so it had to sell Xinlang shares and take profits. But despite the failed acquisition, Shengda still made $70 million in proceeds from the battle.

Third, it has completed the transformation of Shengda's free operation and improved the CSP (come-stay-pay) game operation model, which is known as "forever free".

The free-to-play model was not pioneered by Tang Jun, but it was perfected and carried forward by him, even earlier than Titan's "Journey".

The impact of this operating model on Chinese online games is self-evident, and it has hit the weakness of most Chinese players, and more and more manufacturers have used this model and tasted the sweetness, and now it has become the absolute mainstream.

And now, after four years as president of Shengda, Tang Jun is about to leave the first game manufacturer in China, and some media have revealed that Tang Jun's next stop is Xindu, replacing the founder Chen Fashu as president and CEO.

When Tang Jun joined Shengda, he was given the option to pay off in 4 years, and his personal worth has exceeded 400 million yuan after Shengda went public in 05.

And this time he changed the court, what he will get is a one-time payment of 1 billion yuan of original shares.

This is truly China's No. 1 professional manager.

"Hello Mr. Tang." Ye Shenxi was also a little surprised to see Tang Jun today, after all, he should have almost stepped down from his position at this time, but he still represented Shengda at today's award ceremony.

Chen Xiaowei also greeted Tang Jun, both of them are professional managers, strictly speaking, there should be a month of communication with the president of the game company.

Talking about the game circle in the game circle, Tang Jun looked at Ye Shenxi, and the first thing he said was: "Mr. Ye is going to fight with Mr. Ren." ”

Mr. Ren of course refers to Tenghua's Ren Yueqin.

"Mr. Tang, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement." Ye Shenxi didn't have a good airway, after all, he had been in Huangpu before, and he had seen it a few times, so he could still make jokes.

"Not really." Tang Jun also said.

Chen Xiaowei said: "Didn't Mr. Tang's Shengda also contact "Dungeon Warriors" last year, with Shengda's strength, it should also be in the bag." Chen Xiaowei has worked hard to study several major competitors, and in the spirit of doing one line and loving one line, even from a personal point of view, she is indeed a little curious.

In front of these two men, he is really a newcomer to the game circle.

Dungeon Warriors was already famous before it entered China, when South Korean developer NEOPL had contact with a total of four Chinese agents: Shengda, Shicheng, Huang Yi and Tenghua.

Therefore, Chen Xiaowei, who is about to join Shicheng, will be interested in this matter.

The Korean side examined the four companies from four aspects: company strength, products in the agency, hardware quality, and operation plan.

Among them, the strongest comprehensive strength is undoubtedly Shengda.

Stone City has the best hardware, because last year it represented the world-famous masterpiece "Guild Fight", and Stone City spent $30 million to bring in the best blade servers in the world at that time from the United States. It's just that I didn't expect "Fierce Fight" to be unadaptable, and the public beta encountered Waterloo in a few months, and the number of online users was less than 10,000 in half a year.

Ishijo plans to give up the server of "Fierce Fight" to "Dungeon Warriors", and the South Korean side is quite satisfied with this, but Ishicheng was competing for the agency rights of ten other games at the same time, and the boss Zhu Jun's widening of the net made the Koreans feel that they were too insincere.

This feeling is like a brother is pursuing a girl, but the girl finds out that this young man is pursuing eleven people at the same time, and he is only one of them, what do you make the girl think? So Stone City is out.

Huang Yi's "Fantasy" has been very successful, and it is even considered by some foreign media to be one of the most profitable games in the world, which is its advantage. However, Huang Yi itself is embarking on a 3D strategy, and it can be seen from their next fist product, "The World 2", that a considerable number of Huang Yi's internal executives think that it is inconceivable to spend a lot of effort to run a 2D arcade-style game today.

So they proposed an agency plan to share according to the operational performance, but the Koreans directly rejected it, and if they couldn't get a penny from the poor operational performance, they were naturally unwilling.

And the fundamental reason why Shengda is out of the game is that they are not optimistic about this game, well, it's as simple as that.

Like Huang Yi, Shengda's internal professional review team is not optimistic about the prospects of this 2D side-scrolling game. Their internal evaluation team is a group of returnees with master's and doctorates, and they don't really play games to judge the quality of the game, but evaluate them through a complex set of calculation formulas, and the final evaluation results "Dungeon Warriors" did not get a high score, so Shengda has been lowering the conditions during the negotiation process, which makes the Koreans quite dissatisfied.

It's not that Shengda can't afford this money, it's just that he doesn't want to.

In the end, of course, "Dungeon Warriors" fell into the hands of Tenghua, who was originally the least optimistic.

Ren Yueqin's folds were about to laugh.

He was so anxious that he was on fire, and his lips were blistering for half a month.

Shengda Shicheng itself started as an operation, and Huang Yi's transformation into an online game is also quite successful, while Tenghua, as the largest number of users, has always been one step slower than others in the game, and also lacks experience in large-scale product agency operation, so I don't know when and what month I can get a really good project.

Today, the result is different from what many people expected at the time.

It can only be said that the world is unpredictable.
