"What?! Doubling the expansion?! ”

"Is Pokeni crazy?"

The launch of Pokeni's new plan in 2000 quickly caused another major earthquake in the industry.

Hey?

Why say again?

A group of peers, whether they are making games, films, television or the Internet, are shouting incredible.

Now under the spread of the financial crisis caused by the Internet in the United States, Neon is actually not comfortable as a dog's leg, and the stock market is also plummeting, and there are faint signs of collapse.

The neon Ministry of Finance is also trying to find a way to solve this crisis.

In this case, the Internet, which everyone was very optimistic about, suddenly became unfragrant.

Many people don't know where to invest their money, but as far as neon is concerned, the quantitative easing policy can only keep depreciating in their hands, which makes people panic.

In this case, Pokeni still wants to expand its recruitment?!

And it's an unprecedented large-scale personnel recruitment, which can't help but make peers wonder if Pokeni's president, Qing Zhiyuan, is he crazy?

"Oh my God, I directly chanted that Qing Zhiyuan is a real warrior. Why does this person feel so dazzling, always different from the general stream? You have to swim against the current. ”

"In the past, Pokeni felt like he was a little bit strong when he played new tricks, and there wasn't much risk, but this time it's completely different.

What a financial tsunami!

Just looking at the daily decline of the NASDAQ, I am going to have a heart attack.

At such a time, Pokeni actually wants to fight back? ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that Pokeni is not only going to expand its business scope and double the size of the company, but also to recruit the corresponding number of employees, in addition, it is said that the strategic department is ready to enter the US stock market and prepare to kill all sides."

"I'm going to go, where is this killing all sides? Entering the stock market at this time, doesn't it have to be eaten to the point that there are no bones? ”

"As long as it's not leverage, there shouldn't be much of a problem, at most I'm waiting for it to slowly recover, but it's hard to say exactly when it will come back."

"You're too optimistic, or the president of Pokeni is too optimistic, this person doesn't understand finance at all, right? In this stock market environment, everyone is afraid.

I don't know what Qing Zhiyuan thinks. ”

"I can only say that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Qing Zhiyuan and Sun Zhengyi have been together for a long time, and they have become gamblers.

In this wave of operations, I can't find a second adjective except to describe it with a big gamble.

It's terrible, I have to jump even though I know it's an abyss.

I admire it. ”

"Qing Zhiyuan is a real warrior, there is no doubt that my impression of him in the past is to stay in the scene of every E3 conference to do publicity, and he looks strangely good-looking.

Now I can only describe him as mad.

It seems that the more handsome and calm the appearance, the more wild the heart beneath. ”

"Entering the stock market is looking for death, so what kind of behavior is it to not accumulate strength in the face of the upcoming financial crisis and live in peace, but to expand and recruit people on a large scale?"

"It's terrible, if Qing Zhiyuan is either brainwashed, he is really crazy.

It's the craziest gambler I've ever seen.

Warren Buffett is not as crazy as he is. ”

"Warren Buffett isn't crazy at all, right? Don't always listen to how vicious he is on the surface, everyone is drunk and I am sober, but I want to go against the current.

But in fact, people do it only after receiving inside information or being commissioned.

The risks have long been offset, and the business is a sure deal. ”

"What?! Is Warren Buffett like this? I don't believe it. ”

……

On the Internet, a group of people quarreled about whether Buffett was a real god or a fake god.

After almost a hundred or dozens of floors, the people of this [game industry group] returned to Pokeni's expansion declaration.

"Don't look at it this time, Pokeni seems to be recruiting a lot of people, but if you look carefully at Pokeni's recruitment list, it seems to be quite reasonable."

Now, with the completion of the acquisition of Sega, Pokeni has a total of more than 15,000 employees worldwide.

Then this expansion will double the expansion by more than 15,000 people in the next year.

In addition, Qing Zhiyuan also said that it will be possible to increase the number of people working for Pokeni in the world to 100,000 in the future.

Oh, my God!

What is the concept of 100,000 people?!

Does a company with film, television, internet, and games need to use so many people?

This is the first question mark in everyone's mind.

Nintendo now has just over 7,000 employees worldwide.

However, considering that Sony has nearly 160,000 employees worldwide, everyone suddenly felt a little relieved -

If you compare Pokeni to Sony, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

In 2000, Sony had more than 5,000 hardware engineers alone.

Nintendo, on the other hand, only has more than 1,000 hardware engineers.

Pokeni is even less, except for the dozens of hardware engineers within the original company, the largest main force is from Sega, which adds up to not even 1,000 people.

But it's the size of the staff that has allowed them to build powerful DC consoles, and people have to be impressed by their strong R&D strength.

The main focus of Pokeni is not in the hardware, and now the hardware is still a short board of the company, and the real stakes are in the software field.

As an expert in internet and gaming technology, Pokeni is far ahead.

……

But even though Pokeni is now in a period of rapid development, such a large-scale expansion is a bit too chaotic.

It's not that the expansion is wrong, it's just that the timing is too subtle.

For a while, it was difficult for many peers to understand, and even felt that Qing Zhiyuan was completely playing with fire and self-immolation.

At the same time, in the Nintendo headquarters in Osaka.

"Poison! It's so poisonous! Qing Zhiyuan's move is too ruthless. "Others may not be able to see through it, but Yamauchi can see it at a glance.

"What's wrong?"

Shigeru Miyamoto stood next to him and asked puzzledly, "Isn't Pokeni jumping into the pit right now?" The Internet bubble bursts and the stock price plummets, who dares to invest in the Internet?

I see that many people on the Internet evaluate Qing Zhiyuan, and they all think that this move is too risky, and it will be a big heel if it is not good. ”

If pokeni is really planted, then it's a great thing for the competitor's Ren Heaven, how do you see the president's face being the other way around?

It's as if Pokeni has done something particularly remarkable.

Yamauchi sat in his chair a little tiredly, increasingly worried about the company's future.

Shigeru Miyamoto, the game production ability is very strong, but the sensitivity of some business practices is not enough, and his son-in-law Minoru Arakawa is much stronger in this regard.

He sighed and explained, "It seems like a fire in the fire, but in fact, Qing Zhiyuan's approach is quite beneficial to Pokeni.

On the surface, Qing Zhiyuan is like crazy, going against the tide, but he still has to expand in the case of an extremely harsh environment.

But in fact, this is equivalent to a banner held high by Qingzhiyuan, whether it can recruit so many people in the end, and how many people need to be used is completely controlled by the company's specific projects.

Even if we fail to complete this recruitment target in the end, the banner of Pokeni has been played.

So for the outside world, it is equivalent to Pokeni giving a very clear signal -

High-quality talents, come to us. ”

The world is in the heart.

Yamauchi sighed heavily.

And Shigeru Miyamoto, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream.

What?!

So that's it!

……

At the same time, on Sony's side, the current president Nobuyuki Idei also reacted in the same way as Yamauchi after seeing the [good news] announced by Pokeni.

He let out a long sigh and sat in the boss's chair for a long time.

The glow of dusk dyed Nobuyuki Idei's white hair red, making him look even older and weaker.

Pokeni's move can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

The first is to establish a banner, network talents, and acquire high-quality assets.

The second is that it seems to be bucking the trend, but in fact, the expansion of Pokeni can be especially supported by the government departments of the United States, China and Neon.

Because you provided employment, especially the sentence expressed by Qing Zhiyuan in the news released-

The company aims to increase the number of employees worldwide to 100,000 within 10 years.

If this is put in any local department, who is not impressed?

The third is to form a public opinion blow to the opponents, at least in this public opinion war, more people will stand on the side of Pokeni, knowing how bold and skilled the president of this company is.

Valuing talent, especially in such an environment, is in stark contrast to other companies.

Young people in the future, especially those with ambition and talent, will definitely choose such a pokeni.

Murder and heart, Qing Zhiyuan!

What makes Idei Nobuyuki feel the most headache is that this trick can only be done by Pokeni, but Sony can't do it.

Pokeni is now equivalent to still in the rapid rise of his career, with a lot of room for growth, and at the same time, it also provides them with a huge margin for error in recruitment, so that they have the spare energy to play the banner and play the king of public opinion.

But not Sony.

Sony has developed so far, it can't be said that it is dusk, but it is already a little bloated.

With more than 160,000 employees worldwide, some of the divisions and businesses Izumi wants to sell or lay off, which will not only fail to bring profits to the company, but may even be held back.

In other words, if there are not enough new growth points now, or that the new growth points are not enough to cover those loss-making departments, the most important thing for Nobuyuki Idei to do is to scrape the bones and heal the wounds.

The carrion is removed and fresh blood is introduced.

Under such circumstances, Sony is categorically unable to expand and recruit people with as much fanfare as Pokeni.

It can only be done on a small scale.

And Sony's current debt is actually quite serious, and Nobuyuki Idei is fighting every day to optimize the company's internal structure and turn losses into profits.

Busy with one head and two big.

So Nobuyuki Idei thought about it for a long time, and he could only let out a heavy sigh like Yamauchi Pu.

Qing Zhiyuan, Yang Mou, no solution.

……

Therefore, when the outside world was rumored to think that Pokeni's operation was too suffocating, and the president was too nonsense.

Qing Zhiyuan is not only not crazy, but also very sober.

This trick was actually learned from the people of the United States.

The most classic is to use the tide of interest rate hikes and interest rate cuts to harvest the world's high-quality assets, and the most important point is not to be afraid when you are in a price position, you must buy it.

What I didn't expect was that this time the high-quality and low-cost assets became Lao Mi's.

After this wave of harvesting, Qingzhiyuan's layout in the world, especially in China, should show results, and the future is a golden 20 years.

However, as the two old foxes analyzed, if you want to do this like Qing Zhiyuan, you need to have several prerequisites.

The first is that it has to be in the rising period, and Pokeni's various businesses are equivalent to planting a seed before and waiting to germinate, so the demand for nutrients, that is, employees, will increase significantly in the future, but Qingzhiyuan will advance some quotas in the future.

The second is that you have to have enough profitability, you can't just spend money on production, and in the end you find that you are insolvent, then you are finished.

For example, Pokeni is about to enter the U.S. stock market for a large-scale stock purchase, and there will be no return in the next two or three years, and it will not get better until 2004.

It is equivalent to blood, there is no blood backflow, and too much blood loss will kill people.

Therefore, Pokeni must ensure that the profitability in the next few years is sufficient to cover these investments.

……

Slowly, Satoshi Iwata's side also came back to the taste.

In the course of implementation, I gradually understood the president's intentions.

So a few days later, he ran into the president's office and admired Qing Zhiyuan, "President, I finally understand."

After Pokeni's expansion plan was reported, I found that both Mi and Neon had received resumes from many excellent engineers.

A lot of people are big bulls in the industry.

With better talents, the company's technology research and development will reach a new level. ”

"Yes, and if you take a long-term view, you will actually find that we will have the right to choose the talents in the industry for the next few decades." Qing Zhiyuan laughed, "What is this called?" ”

"What?"

"It's called—

Zhou Gong vomits and feeds, and the world returns to the heart! ”

After Qing Zhiyuan finished speaking, the smile froze on his face, and the whole person was stunned.

It's over, I've become a thief this time.
