It was not just Yang Hongfa who was extremely angry. Liu Qingfeng, the editor-in-chief of "Game Island", was also furious for a while after hearing that the research and development team of "Silk Road Overlord" was acquired.
Originally, Yunmeng Group had made money but not fame, so he could somewhat comfort himself. If Hao Yun cherishes his reputation in the circle, sooner or later he will come to Game Island to spend money to smooth things over and publicize his famous Editor-in-Chief Liu.
However, this time the Yunmeng Group's merger and acquisition case completely shattered his illusions.
Whether he overestimated the current influence of "Game Island" in the industry, or whether Mr. Hao didn't care about his reputation in the industry, in short, he didn't care about him at all.
This feeling of being ignored made Liu Qingfeng's blood pressure soar in anger.
Especially now that the Yunmeng Group's 20 million acquisition has spread to the outside world. Not only people in the gaming circle are paying attention, but another larger circle has also set its sights on this news.
Nowadays, there are several online media and print media whose reputation and quality of daily life are far greater than that of a niche cultural website like "Game Island". One or two of them are all touting how visionary Yunmeng Group is and how young and talented Mr. Hao is. for.
It’s so irritating!
In the editorial department of "Game Island".
Looking at the closed office on the side, two editors were whispering.
"The atmosphere in the work unit is a bit off these days."
"That's not true... have you seen a good look on Editor Liu's face in the past two days?"
"Is it about Yunmeng Group?"
"What else could it be because of? I feel like... others are crazy. How many black articles have we posted about Yunmeng Games? Players are starting to get annoyed."
"Yes, when I was browsing the forum using a small account a few days ago, I saw that many players were already teasing that the game island could be renamed Heiyou Island."
"There are also rumors that Editor-in-Chief Liu took money to publish the black text of Yunmeng Games. Originally, he planned to eat both sides, but in the end, Yunmeng Games ignored him at all, and the game data was not affected by his black text at all. The impact has made him unable to step down now."
This is really embarrassing.
Originally, the daily active traffic of "Game Island" was getting lower and lower, and its appeal in the circle was no longer as strong as before. At that time in 2008 and 2009, Liu Qingfeng could be said to be a powerful influencer in the gaming industry. With the following of a group of newbies, a single black article could bring a game with little fan base to the forefront. Step into the dirt.
Things are different now. The electronic entertainment market is getting bigger and bigger, and players have more and more products to choose from. Especially after the launch of the Dianqu platform, "Game Island" has gradually retreated from the initial portal of the game world to the third line, and has become a teahouse where veteran players make jokes and show off their children and cars.
Old players can’t help but new players come to Game Island to look for games less and less. Although many small and medium-sized independent game development teams will come to Game Island to buy advertisements, which is regarded as paying protection fees, but everyone What you can see with your eyes is that "Game Island" is already in decline.
Originally, if Yunmeng Games spent money to buy peace of mind, Liu Qingfeng took advantage of the situation and removed the black article, changed the vest and posted a flattering article to balance it. The popularity of Hero Killing and Love and the producer is not increasing, and he can also fool himself into thinking that the influence of himself and the game island is not as good as before.
However, now, despite the monstrous pace of Game Island, Yunmeng Games still won the double champion of daily active sales of new mobile games in this issue. It is tantamount to piercing this layer of window paper and affecting the influence of "Game Island" in the industry. The fact that power has existed in name only is before everyone.
Whether it is for Liu Qingfeng or the "Game Island" website itself, this public opinion storm can only be described as a disastrous defeat...
"Shh, don't say this nonsense. If it reaches Editor-in-Chief Liu's ears..."
"What are you afraid of? How long has it been since we hired new employees? I feel like our website is about to close down if it lasts for another two years. Do you still expect to work under Liu Qingfeng for the rest of your life?"
People in the editorial department of Game Island are in a state of excitement, but the employees of Mo Fei Qingyu are full of energy at the moment.
After Yunmeng Group parachuted in a senior executive, everyone was still worried about whether there would be personnel changes, but in the end nothing changed.
Not only that, but half a month's salary and bonuses that were owed to them were also paid out in full.
Company morning meeting.
Standing in front of all the employees, Wu Junxian clapped his hands and said with a bright smile on his face.
"From today on, we are members of the big family of Yunmeng Group. Let me give my welcome applause to the new board supervisor and vice president-Mr. Li Xiaofeng!"
The young man standing aside nodded and spoke meticulously.
"Hello everyone."
His articulation is clear and his words are concise and concise, which is very similar to his no-fuss and rigorous style.
Bang bang bang—
There was a storm of applause.
No matter who owns the company in the future, at least it will make money now. For the employees here, whoever gives them money is their sponsor dad.
"Yunmeng Group will not interfere with our specific business activities, but the group will provide us with the necessary support and guidance in the general direction."
As he spoke, Wu Junxian opened the curtain covering the whiteboard behind him, revealing the four characters "Clash of Clans".
Looking at the employees who were whispering to each other, he cleared his throat, raised his voice and continued.
"Starting from today, on the basis that the operating strategy of "Silk Road Overlord" will not be adjusted, our work focus will shift to the research and development of the new game "Clash of Clans"."
"In the new year, I hope we can all achieve greater success!"
Bang bang bang—
Amid applause, the morning meeting ended.
Li Xiaofeng returned to his office, turned on his computer, and made a video call with Mr. Lin of the parent company.
"Is the morning meeting over?"
"It's over."
"How does it feel?"
Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and said.
“A very dynamic company, but there are a few issues that we still need to pay attention to.”
Lin Jun asked seriously.
"what is the problem?"
Lin Jun still attaches great importance to Li Xiaofeng's opinions. He had hired this talented person from Xiahai Investment Bank with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan. He had been helping him with some of the minutiae of the shared bicycle project in the middle of its operation.
He is serious about his work and has a rigorous personality.
Lin Jun felt that he had to learn more from his senior, especially in terms of rigor.
"Wu Junxian's personal prestige in the company is too strong. We need to appropriately weaken some of his influence to reduce the possibility of collective resignation or job corruption."
Lin Jun turned his pen and asked.
"Our group pursues a non-interference strategy in mergers and acquisitions. Will intervening in personnel matters affect subsequent cooperation?"
"Not interfering does not mean not interfering. Wu Junxian himself also agrees with our strategy of providing guidance in the general direction of development. I have communicated with him about this."
After a pause, Li Xiaofeng continued.
"In any case, it is necessary to enhance the presence of the parent company in the minds of the subsidiary employees. After all, they are now part of Yunmeng Group and represent part of our reputation. While enjoying this halo, it It should be branded with us.”
Lin Jun nodded.
"That's true. What are you going to do?"
Li Xiaofeng continued.
"I suggest expanding the establishment and recruiting a new group of employees. Newly recruited employees can first be transferred to the parent company of Yunmeng Group for training for a month or two, and then transferred back here."
Hearing these words, Lin Jun's heart moved slightly.
"I do have an idea."
Li Xiaofeng said.
"Please speak."
Lin Jun continued.
"Since you talked about collective resignations, I think there must be quite a few mobile game companies that cannot pay out bonuses during the Spring Festival this year." A bright smile appeared on Lin Jun's face, and he continued, "I happen to have one here. It was an alternative investment target, but it was abandoned because the price quoted was too high.”
A look of understanding appeared on Li Xiaofeng's face.
"what do you mean… "
Lin Jun smiled slightly and continued.
"Since you don't want to buy it, then hire the development team and operations team as a whole! The budget is about 10 million, you can dig as much as you need."
"The new employees will be sent to the parent company of Yunmeng Group for training for a month, and then return to Yanjing to participate in the reorganization of Mo Fei Qingyu... The reorganized company will be called Magic Box Culture."
Li Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said.
"Ten million shouldn't be that much. I guess five million would be enough... But what is this magic box culture?"
Lin Jun said with a smile.
"Let's take one word from each company's name. The name of the company you are responsible for poaching is called Luohe Culture."
Li Xiaofeng said without any nonsense.
"I see."
Lin Jun nodded and said with satisfaction.
"Very good, I'll leave it to you. Also, remember that you have to participate in the whole process of reorganization. You can refer to Wu Junxian's opinions, but our arrangements will be the main ones."
"Also, no matter what you do, the release schedule of Clash of Clans must not be delayed. Mr. Hao is personally following up on this matter!"
"No matter what happens, the direction set by Mr. Hao will still be the highest priority."
Li Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Don't worry about this."
"The initiative is always in our hands!"
