Because public opinion in the industry was generally unfavorable about Tieba's current situation, Li Mu temporarily postponed the departure time of the leading crew and went to Makino Technology in person to hold an emergency meeting at the core level.
After analyzing Tengxun Q Bar and NetEase You Bar, Li Mu does not feel that their so-called "encirclement and suppression" poses any substantial threat to Makino Technology. The industry is generally not optimistic about Tieba, also because they do not know their own The next step is actually a good thing for myself. Under such adversity, coming up with a super product to completely counterattack is enough to make Makino Technology and Tieba become myths in the industry.
The quiet launch of Happy Farm can also bring a lot of shock to the industry, but that shock is purely because of Happy Farm's own attributes, but if Happy Farm is thrown out domineeringly under the attack of Tengxun and NetEase , which is simply equivalent to setting off a thunder in the industry.
At the same time, it can also let Tengxun, NetEase, and other Internet companies that are eyeing Makino Technology understand the truth. You can’t encircle and suppress me if you want. No matter how difficult the situation seems, a pair of enemies will be launched at the critical moment. With plump wings, it took off gracefully, and then said to the dumbfounded companies on the ground: "Fuck it, I can fly."
What pleased Li Mu was that his team did not disrupt its position due to the appearance of a strong enemy.
Kong Lingyu has long understood the key. Regardless of whether there is Q Bar or You Bar, the blockbuster bomb of Happy Farm is going to shock the industry. Instead of detonating it without their knowledge, it is better to attract the public first. attention, and then detonated this blockbuster under the spotlight.
Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire Makino Technology core-level meeting was quite relaxed.
So after Li Mu analyzed the situation, everyone involuntarily had a weird smile on their faces like a conspirator.
Lin Qingya said excitedly: "If we launch Happy Farm and slap Teng Xun and NetEase in the face, this can be regarded as stepping on others to get the upper hand, right?"
Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "In the past few days, public opinion in the industry will continue to push us to the lowest point. Once Happy Farm is launched, it will push us to the highest point, even if we are only a small company with a valuation of several hundred million. , this reversal is enough to shock the entire industry. Makino Technology will usher in a good opportunity for rapid development. No matter what we do, public opinion will chase us and make us easily a hot topic. As long as we seize this opportunity and continue to launch This move will amaze the industry, and we will definitely become a first-tier Internet company in China after this incident calms down."
Kong Lingyu said: "We currently only have a few versions of Personal Space and Happy Farm. It seems that it is not enough to rely on it to maintain the attention of the industry? BOSS, when will our YY communication software be launched?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "It will take some time before YY goes online. We need to ensure that all Tengxun users' connections are migrated to our platform, and that after users develop stronger connections on our platform, Then YY will be launched, so before YY is launched, we have to work harder on flas***."
With that said, Li Mu picked up the whiteboard pen and wrote two lines of words on the whiteboard.
Happy ranch, grab a parking space.
Since we are going to make a social game, we must make it bad at the first time. If Makino Technology can rely on its own efforts to make social games bad at the user level and make users bored, it will definitely be a huge success. , because it not only completely transforms the benefits of social games, but also blocks the possibility of other companies copying and copying.
Everyone present stared at the two fresh phrases on the blackboard, waiting for Li Mu's next words.
Li Mu spent half an hour explaining the core of these two games to everyone.
Happy Ranch is the same as Happy Farm, except that the carrier has been changed from land and crops to various livestock; grabbing parking spaces is also a change of the same medicine, replacing the carrier with parking spaces and various cars.
Although these games have long been so vulgar to Li Mu that he doesn't even want to take a look at them, every word Li Mu says is fresh to everyone sitting here.
After everyone absorbed the core concepts of these two games from Li Mu's words, everyone had a firmer understanding of the future of Li Mu and Makino.
Li Mu said: "Having said so much, I believe everyone now understands that what the company is going through is not a disaster, but an unprecedented huge opportunity. So what everyone has to do now is to stabilize the morale of the military and strengthen the team. Bring it and make the product well, and we will launch Happy Farm after New Year's Day. Then, taking advantage of New Year's Day, we will give a bonus of 30,000 yuan to everyone here, and a bonus of 10,000 yuan to all our other technical and support staff. Everyone If we work hard, we will have a year-end bonus before the Chinese New Year. After the meeting, everyone must mobilize the enthusiasm of the team. If we win this battle, we may win a battle and an era."
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, everyone present looked happy and full of passion.
The bonus amount promised by Li Mu is really large. For the company's employees, money is the most direct and effective means of motivation, and Li Mu is very good at this point. He is willing to share profits and will not go it alone, unlike many entrepreneurs. The boss of a large-scale company is willing to promise anything when he conquers the world, but after he really conquers a few points of the world, he immediately breaks his promise and kills the donkey.
If you want to retain talents and let them devote 120% of their ability and enthusiasm to work for you, the only feasible and long-term way is to give them more than 120% in return.
After all, what does it take to retain talents
It's money.
All ideals and pursuits are nonsense. Any boss who talks about ideals and pursuits to his employees is just trying to make up for his lack of money. Therefore, anyone who doesn’t talk about money but only talks about ideal pursuits is a hooligan. .
We need to talk about ideals and pursuits, but these must be based on money. Let employees get the treatment they deserve first, and then talk about ideals and pursuits with them. Such a boss is a truly good boss.
For Li Mu, he had never been a boss in his previous life, but he had been cheated by many bosses who were trying to make a fool of themselves. He had also seen the success and failure of many entrepreneurs, so although he had no practical experience in managing a company, he had experience in it. Relatively objective and advanced concepts, the most important thing in the Internet industry is talent. He wants to build a victorious army in the Internet industry, so the most important thing for his subordinates is to be stingy.
As soon as he finished talking about everything he wanted to say in this meeting, Li Mu's cell phone suddenly rang. He didn't expect that the person calling him at this time was actually Baidu CEO Li Yanhong. The first thing Mr. Li asked Li Mu was What are you busy with? The second sentence asked Li Mu what he thought of Q Bar and the upcoming game bar? Before Li Mu could answer, he asked a third question: How Li Mu planned to deal with the flanking attacks from Teng Xun and NetEase.
Li Mu said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you have so many questions in one breath, I don't even know how to answer you."
Mr. Li said: "It doesn't matter if you feel inconvenient to answer."
Li Mu said: "To be honest, I am currently in a meeting with employees to discuss how to deal with Q Bar and Youba."
Mr. Li asked: "Is there a more feasible solution? Do you need my help?"
Li Mu said: "I haven't thought about it yet. If I need Mr. Li's help then, I will contact you as soon as possible."
Mr. Li responded with a smile, and then said: "By the way, there will be an Internet Development Forum in Yanjing on the 30th of this month, sponsored by the Ministry of Information Industry. A responsible officer there has a good relationship with me and knows that we and Makino I want to invite you to participate in the cooperative relationship through me, are you interested?"
"Internet Development Forum?" Li Mu frowned and asked him: "What companies are participating?"
Mr. Li said: “All the larger Internet companies you can imagine will participate.”
Li Mu asked: "What about Tengxun and NetEase? They are both in Guangdong Province, will they also come to participate?"
Mr. Li smiled and said: "Of course, after all, it is the site organizer, and the companies invited will give some face, and the forum is basically filled with company bosses."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Since they are participating, then I will participate too."
Mr. Li understood the meaning of Li Mu's words and laughed loudly: "In that case, I will talk to the officer, and the invitation letter will be mailed to your company by then."
"Okay." Li Mu nodded and looked at the desk calendar. December 30th happened to be a Sunday. The forum was held at the tail end of 2001, and all the big names in the industry were called in. Who knows how many future supers there will be. Monopoly, this is really interesting.
Moreover, Li Mu felt that as the boss of Makino Technology, which was attracting much attention at the moment, it would be unreasonable for him not to go to such a place where big bosses gathered. With so many people trying to take the opportunity to step on Makino Technology, why not let them Have fun stepping on someone’s face? In particular, the bosses of Teng Xun and NetEase are the two people Li Mu wants to see most at this time. If Makino Technology wants to use Kaixin Farm to counterattack more thoroughly, it needs to be suppressed more thoroughly in the early stage. The greater the contrast, the more likely it will be with the company. The shock will be greater, this is a great opportunity.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu told everyone about the Internet Development Conference, gave everyone instructions again, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.
There is still more than a week before the Internet forum, and he has no time to waste here, because the filming of "Oldboy" has been delayed for two or three days and must start now.
So, after the meeting, Li Mu immediately left Makino Technology. After going out, he called Ning Hao: "Let the equipment set off tonight. Our staff and early actors will fly to Jinling tomorrow afternoon to prepare to start filming!"
Ning Hao smiled exaggeratedly and said: "Oh, I have been waiting for your words. I will tell the person in charge of the equipment and set off tonight. I will also contact the local hotels in Haizhou to book a batch of rooms. , Find another catering restaurant, and as for the venue, you have to coordinate it."
"no problem!"
