……

In June, the reorganization of the Pokeni Group was completed and the new organizational structure was changed.

First of all, at the group level, the original president system was reorganized into a board of directors system, and Qing Zhiyuan served as the chairman of the board of directors, that is, the chairman of the board of directors, and concurrently served as the CEO of the group.

The members of the board of directors also include the company's veterans, who have followed Takeru Akanishi, the program director of Aochigen since the day of the establishment of Pokeni, as well as the art director Taiji Sakata, Mika Ishino, Shinji Mikami, who joined later, David Breivik, CEO of the United States branch, Kazuma Takahashi, director of operations, Koichi Chikawa, director of the hardware R&D department, and Yosuke Toki, president of P-net......

and the newly appointed Satoshi Iwata.

The game was set up separately to form the Pokeni Game Division, with Shinji Mikami serving as the head of the Game Division.

Then P-NET still retains the original architecture.

Manga and Light were spun off and a POBOOK subsidiary was formed.

The Mi Guo branch maintains the original structure.

At the group level, a strategic planning department was re-established, and Satoshi Iwata served as the head of the strategic planning department, which was mainly responsible for making plans for the company's future activities, including but not limited to investing in the company, finding new partners, formulating other development directions, and proposing suggestions for improvement of some shortcomings within the company.

Anyone can tell that this is the brain department of the company.

In fact, the arrival of Satoshi Iwata has already made many people below whisper.

However, there is generally no big problem with Qing Zhiyuan.

There are not many members in the core department of Pokeni, but there are more members in the customer service department, marketing and maintenance, and it will be about 1,500 people.

So it's relatively easy to manage.

Everyone agrees 100% on the president's ability and vision, although it is a bit strange that Iwata, as an outsider, can suddenly become the head of the strategic planning department.

However, everyone discussed it out of curiosity at most, and there were not many complaints about the appointment of the president.

This is the result of Qing Zhiyuan's long-term PUA, ahhh

In terms of personnel management and appointment, Qingzhiyuan has not made any mistakes so far, and the young people who were recruited and promoted by Qingzhiyuan from outside one by one have gradually proved their value in the process of work.

For example, Shinji Mikami, when he was first recruited, who would have thought that this guy who was even a mess in the written test and was even brushed off at one time would be able to make so many powerful games later?

Later, Gen Hibuchi, Risa Asano, Jun Asaeda, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Hideki Kamiya, Takashi Takeuchi, and Nasu Mushroom......

One by one, they have proved one point with their strength-

Qing Zhiyuan's vision will not go wrong, even if there are mistakes such as famous colleges and 86 in making games, but there is no mistake in personnel.

Everyone has their own value in the company.

If it is talent, it will not be buried, this is almost the consensus of people on Qingzhiyuan.

And because of this, everyone is comfortable working in the company, and if you have talent, you will be recognized by the president.

……

The members may feel the difference at first about the arrival of Satoshi Iwata, but if you think about it, you can understand it.

This is not without achievements, when he was the president of the HAL Research Institute, he pulled the company back from the brink of death with a debt of 2 billion, and even turned losses into profits, and in such a predicament, he also produced a game with a well-known IP of "Kirby of the Stars".

Kirby is now one of the pillars of Renten, which is also one of Iwata's achievements.

In terms of Sei Chi Won's personnel arrangement, Satoshi Iwata did not become CEO as soon as he came, but set up a strategic planning department as the director, which is also a point that can be accepted by the majority of employees.

In their view, strategic planning doesn't seem to have much to do with the specific work of any one of them.

If I had to say it, this department was more like Qing Zhiyuan's secretarial department.

In fact, after Iwata Satoshi arrived, his desk was arranged at the door of Qing Zhiyuan, mingling with HR.

That is, it is next to Akane Ayase's position.

So far, Iwata Satoshi is alone.,But there's a lot to do.,Qing Zhiyuan has already given the authority to expand the recruitment to Iwata Satoshi.,This department will be completely formed by him.,If there's a need.,Just go directly to Ayase Akane to dock.。

……

Duang！

Little HR Akane Ayase put the brewed coffee heavily in front of Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan glanced down, the latte art inside the cup was beautiful, but I don't know why the pattern on it looked so much like a big "bad guy" word?

Qing Zhiyuan picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and admired,

"Well, your craft has improved."

"Hmph."

Akane Ayase clasped her hands and looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

"President!"

"Mr. Iwata has already arrived at his post, why don't you let him do such a thing as brewing coffee?"

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "He's not a secretary. ”

"Huh?" Akane Ayase wondered, "So what is he?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Qing Zhiyuan tilted his head and thought for a moment, "He is also a secretary, but the job content is different from that of you, a secretary. ”

"Hmm...... President, I'm going to be angry about you like this. ”

"Okay, okay, you and Satoshi Iwata both need it, okay?"

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and said, "In this way, let Iwata make coffee next time." But what he does doesn't necessarily taste as good as yours. ”

"Hmm......"

Akane Ayase frowned and hesitated, "Then I'll come later." ”

In fact, she has been following Qing Zhiyuan for so long, and she also knows that everyone's functions are different, and as HR, she has naturally seen Iwata Satoshi's offer, but she is just dissatisfied with Qing Zhiyuan's always instructing her to run errands.

However, I was a little happy to hear the president praise the delicious coffee brewed.

"That's right, Ayase."

When it was time to leave the president's office, Akane Ayase was stopped by Qing Zhiyuan again.

"Huh?"

Akane Ayase turned her head and blinked in confusion.

"Not everyone can be my secretary." Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "Please remember this." ”

Huh?

Akane Ayase was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay president."

……

As soon as Akane Ayase returned to her desk and sat down, she saw a new email appear on her computer.

When I opened it, it was an offer from the chairman:

[Appointed Ms. Akane Ayase as Secretary to the Chairman.]

The specific work content is as follows:

1. Assist in drafting the chairman's daily documents, reports and other relevant documents;

2. Assist the chairman to develop and maintain customer relations, and coordinate the daily work arrangements of the chairman;

3. Responsible for recording and sorting out the minutes of the company's staff meeting, board of directors and other related meetings;

4. Responsible for organizing the writing or proofreading of comprehensive text materials submitted and sent out in the name of the company;

5. Responsible for customer visits, reception of the company's business activities, etc.;

6. Responsible for the organization and planning of company-related activities (such as parties, parties, annual meetings, etc.);

7. Complete the work assigned by the company's leaders.

……】

In short, Qing Zhiyuan gave her a formal appointment, a position that does not seem to be in charge of any department, but it is crucial, equivalent to being responsible to the chairman of the board of directors, and equivalent to the company's invisible deputy general manager.

Huh?!

Akane Ayase was shocked.

And when I looked down, not only did the salary increase significantly, but also had a certain amount of equity and dividends.

President! ……

Akane Ayase was so moved that she cried.

"I really don't want to be a secretary......

……

After Akane Ayase took over the position of secretary to the chairman, she resigned as HR director and transferred HR director to Saori Sato.

After some redeployment and the appointment of various talents, the reorganization of the Pokeni Group was completed.

……

After Satoshi Iwata joined the company, he behaved quite kindly, and he was under 40 years old, and he could talk to everyone, and he often saw this guy wandering between different departments, looking at the games they were making, and complimenting the game and the production staff with great praise.

Sometimes, people even come up with -

The president is an illusion that he has recruited a player.

But it was in this process that Satoshi Iwata quickly became acquainted with everyone and had a comprehensive understanding of the company.

This understanding is not obtained from paper or data, but based on his actual contact, feelings, experiences, and careful analysis of his own chewing, which is far more tangible than cold data.

In many cases, data can only represent a part, it can reflect the company's operation, whether the performance is good, but it cannot reflect the problem, nor can it reflect the specific value of the company.

Only by engaging with people, especially the people at the bottom, can you get the answers you want.

So during this time, Satoshi Iwata observed through his own eyes, listened through his ears, and felt through his heart, and he came up with a lot of information that cold data could not provide.

You can often see the enthusiasm and smiles on the faces of the employees of P Company, which is not only a sense of satisfaction and love for the work they love, but also an expression of their confidence in the company.

Then, Pokeni's concept of making games is very advanced, which is very different from the operation model of game companies that Satoshi Iwata knows and is familiar with.

In general, game production companies develop and produce games based on current hardware platforms.

However, Pokeni is a company that makes games based on the future.

They vigorously develop game engines, develop the technology and performance of the next era, invest important resources in the accumulation of technology, and then form a generation gap with other game companies through technological leadership.

Not in hardware, but in software.

The effect of the game engine, Satoshi Iwata was amazed when he saw it, because these things are basically impossible to appear in the current era.

And then the effects of the engine will be applied to the game, and the technology will once again amplify the level of the art team, and with the packaging of genius producers and genius scripters, it is difficult for these games to succeed.

Walking downstairs occasionally, he was surprised to find that although P-NET did not seem to be making money or even losing money, whether it was the ever-changing updates and iterations of the portal, which were gradually becoming more and more perfect, more and more beautiful, or the number of users owned by RTT, it was growing......

These exude vigorous vitality.

Especially after Satoshi Iwata tested P-net's newly developed search engine, he couldn't help but be amazed.

It turns out that P Agency has planned to this extent?

It turns out that it is the website or authoritative media that has the right to speak, what is published, what kind of news content is provided today, and users will watch what they want.

However, as long as there is a search engine, the future will become, and I will be able to provide you with whatever you want to see.

These...... All of them made him feel more and more that coming to Pokeni was a very correct decision.

……

After that, Satoshi Iwata submitted a report of more than 400 pages to Aozhiyuan, which detailed his analysis and views on all the contents of the current company, as well as some corresponding suggestions for improvement......

At the same time, there is also a business plan that clarifies what Satoshi Iwata thinks is the strengths and genes of Pokeni, the future direction of development, and what can be done.

It took Qing Zhiyuan a long time to read what he had written.

After reading it, Qing Zhiyuan was shocked.

Yes......

Sure enough, it was right to ask Satoshi Iwata to come over and be the chief butler.

With him doing these things, he can rest assured.

After combing through everything, Qing Zhiyuan understood almost everything, and then asked Iwata Satoshi to come to his office.

"I've finished reading it, and it's very well written." Qing Zhiyuan raised the business plan and analysis book in Yang's hand.

"But I'd like to hear you say to your face what you're going to do in the future."

Satoshi Iwata sat across from him and said after a moment's thought, "Although it is the Asian financial crisis, it is actually a good opportunity for us. ”

"Huh?"

"During this time, I have looked at the financial composition of Pokeni, and we are very different from some companies that are more dependent on local resources and markets.

The North Rice market provides us with a lot of revenue.

Pokémon, The Witcher, Diablo, Borderland...... These are very popular in Omicile, and it can be said that Beimi's revenue accounts for the majority of the company's revenue.

It is also based on this that we actually have ample foreign exchange. ”

If the proportion of foreign exchange in the US dollar is high, the impact of the financial crisis will be relatively small, not to mention that during this period of time, Qingzhiyuan has exchanged cash into valuable assets through purchases.

This is also a point that impresses Satoshi Iwata.

With capital reserves, you can do things, otherwise you really can't let go without this foundation.

"Sony Nobuyuki Idei has just taken office, and their foundation is not stable, and some of their strategic plans will not only have to change in the future, but also have a lot of trouble.

At times like these, it's actually best to take the initiative. ”

Qing Zhiyuan's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard his words, "So what? ”

"Quack chirp ......"

It took a whole day to discuss the follow-up content with Satoshi Iwata, and Qing Zhiyuan only felt that there was an open space in front of him.

Something, this guy.

And this kind of play, why didn't I think of it before?

If it can be done, Pokeni really has any hope of defeating Sony in a future war and becoming Neon's biggest, no, the world's largest game company.

And it's not just game companies.

The arrival of this point in time may be faster than Qing Zhiyuan expected.

"I'll leave it to me over there, it shouldn't be a big problem, but I'm afraid the most important thing is that you have to go out in person, the president." Satoshi Iwata said seriously.

"Hmm."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.
