Chapter 846: A New Test for the Young Team
In fact, it is no wonder that Ding Lei has become a little ecstatic because of the soaring stock price. Even Xue Jiaqian, who should be rational, has become blindly optimistic due to the sudden rise of NetEase's stock price.
So hearing Wu Tao's judgment at this moment, Xue Jiaqian subconsciously expressed that she couldn't believe it.
However, the general trend of the Internet bubble collapse is unstoppable, especially the highly popular NetEase stock, which has set off a new round of investment boom, which will accelerate the arrival of this collapse point.
Wu Tao still remembered that the stock price of NetEase in his previous life fell directly below 1 US dollar, and ended up sideways for a long time.
If Ding Lei hadn't gritted his teeth and persisted, perhaps there would be no NetEase, which rose to more than 200 US dollars later.
However, Wu Tao didn't say too much about Xue Jiaqian's question, he just asked her to make the repurchase plan first.
After sitting in Tianqi Investment for a long time, seeing that Xue Jiaqian was sending more and more investment project materials to his office, Wu Tao immediately oiled the soles of his feet and slipped away after eating lunch.
Over the past year, Apocalypse has invested in hundreds of large and small projects, and there are more than ten large projects with an investment of more than 10 million. There are quite a few gigabit Internet construction projects jointly invested with some local telecommunications departments, and all of them are large investments exceeding 100 million yuan.
With so much information, I really want to read it, and when I want to see it...
After the snow, the weather is warm and cold.
After leaving Apocalypse Investment, Wu Tao went to Jiangbei High-tech Zone to visit Tianxing Game Company.
After all, the new League of Legends game that is about to be launched will be a major effort of Tianxing Game Company next year. Only when this game project is also successful can Tianxing Game Company gain a firm foothold in the e-sports industry.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Counter-Strike game product, no matter how popular it is, it won't last long.
When I arrived at Tianxing Game Company, the three-story building was very popular now. Game posters were posted everywhere, reflecting the LOFT decoration style, full of a strong sense of technology.
The game operation team is still very busy, obviously still dealing with the follow-up problems caused by the bloody battle caused by this acquisition.
This fierce conflict between Chinese and foreign players really made Tianxing Game Company discover many deficiencies in the concurrent processing of the game engine and server.
That's the way technical issues are, some untouchables that may never come to light.
The people below are busy, but the management team is holding a discussion meeting on New Year's plans, and the content is about the game League of Legends.
Seeing Wu Tao coming in, everyone in the conference room stood up.
Wu Tao walked to the main seat and sat down, "You guys continue."
The setting of the League of Legends game led by Zhao Li seems to have a lot of development work. In addition, this new game can be regarded as starting from scratch, which requires a lot of manpower.
In this way, if you want to develop a brand new game on the basis of maintaining the Counter-Strike game, it will involve a shortage of manpower that cannot be ignored.
In fact, the current domestic branch of Tianxing Games has nearly a hundred people, and its scale is already quite large.
But in order to operate the huge Chinese market, and even the international market, this number of people is really a drop in the bucket.
Wang Donglai is a little hesitant. After all, it is still unknown whether the new game will be popular next year. Now he is blindly recruiting too many people. As the CEO, he is under the greatest pressure and has to be responsible to the boss.
However, Shi Qianxue, the vice president in charge of marketing and operations, insisted on recruiting boldly and developing the game first. As for whether so many people are needed in the follow-up, it will be discussed according to the operation of the new game at that time.
There was nothing wrong with doing so.
But for an entrepreneurial company that is on the rise, the impact of layoffs is not good after all.
What's more, she was so clear-cut, which made Wang Donglai very embarrassed.
So Wu Tao took a sip of his saliva and said, "In terms of talents, I think we should look at it differently. For the development and operation of new games, manpower must be sufficient. outsourcing to deal with high operating costs and redundant human resources?"
As soon as the boss opened his mouth, the tone was set.
After solving this problem, the development team and development model of the new game will be settled without any disagreement.
After the meeting, he followed Wang Donglai into the CEO's office. As soon as Wu Tao sat down, Shi Shiran asked, "Although the game company's profits are good this year, your income is still not as good as Miss Jiaqian's, right?"
Wang Donglai said with a wry smile: "Boss, you really don't know which pot to turn on. I just recovered from being depressed by Jiaqian, and you are here to make up for it again. It can't be that Jiaqian is here with you. What did you say in front of you?"
Men are most afraid of losing face in front of women.
Wu Tao shook his head with a smile and said, "Is there any need to talk about it? I am the boss of both of you. Can I not know whether your income is high or low?"
Wang Donglai sighed and said: "At first I thought that the Counter-Strike game was doing well this year, and at the end of the year it will finally turn around. Who would have thought that our game project, which has been in operation for two years, is not as fast as one of their projects."
"So League of Legends game, you should do it well. If you do it well, you will definitely be able to turn around next year." Wu Tao encouraged without losing the opportunity.
"I'll do my best!" Wang Donglai sighed, "But according to my statistics, 80% of the game companies are short-lived and cannot make a second game product that continues to sell well. So can League of Legends become popular again? , I really have no idea."
"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be the master next year." Wu Tao patted Wang Donglai on the shoulder and said.
After chatting with Wang Donglai for a while, Wu Tao left to look for Shi Qianxue.
When a company's game products are enriched, the work of operation and marketing will be tested even more.
My second cousin was originally a novice, and Wu Tao was really worried about whether he could fully understand the spirit of the instructions conveyed at the meeting.
As soon as he found the vice president's office, he found that Shi Qianxue was not there. After asking around, he found out that she had called her subordinates for a meeting.
The awareness is quite in place, and the attitude is also very positive.
In this way, Wu Tao is not in a hurry to mention her. Let them go and let them do it boldly, so that they can grow up faster.
Turning around, when I met Zhao Li, she was putting on her coat, holding a sketchbook in her hand, and she seemed to be planning to go out.
After careful questioning, I found out that I planned to go to an Internet cafe to gather ideas and see what are the merits of various games produced by Blizzard.
Wu Tao was fine, so he simply went with him.
The closest to Jiangbei High-tech Zone is undoubtedly the Internet cafe near the university town.
It's a pity that during the winter vacation, the attendance rate of these Internet cafes is not very good. The two had no choice but to continue to search for the residential area, and finally found a popular Internet cafe in the core commercial area of Jiangbei.
In the smoky air, many gamers sat in front of the computer, turning themselves into fighters in the CS game, shouting gogogo, follow-me, venting the pride in their hearts with spewing bullets, occasionally interspersed with a few words of nationalism. Scolding, and foreign cursing and so on.
The corner of Wu Tao's mouth couldn't help but twitched, this round of mutual turmoil has not passed yet, I really don't know when it will last...
However, the longer the turmoil, the greater the benefits it will bring to Tianxing Game Company, which is not bad to think about.
After searching for a long time, Zhao Li finally found a few players who love to play World of Warcraft and Interstellar games, so she unceremoniously pulled over the seat and chatted with those young players...
