In the office of Zhonghai Yubi, President Ge Ling has just returned from France. In March of this year, an online game called "EverQuest" was released in Europe and the United States. This full 3D large-scale online role-playing game has won wide acclaim and is hailed as a "milestone work". During this business trip, Ge Ling visited the French headquarters on the one hand, and discussed with the French side on the possibility of introducing and distributing the game in China on the other.
"EverQuest" is so popular that it has received widespread praise from senior critics, media, and players. Even this popularity has caused many Chinese players to look on from afar, drooling and watching anxiously.
Ge Ling doesn't play games, but the reports, gameplay, and data summaries about this game made Ge Ling, who was in France at the time, think of something similar, which was CQ's "Spirit Realm".
Although on the surface, Spirit Realm is a simple web page support, oh, I heard that they also developed a client, in short, "Spirit Realm" and "EverQuest" are of course incomparable, and there is a huge difference. However, the two rely on advanced game concepts and settings, and the effects they have achieved in different markets are similar.
Games like EverQuest naturally created a craze in the relatively advanced European and American online game markets, but Spirit Realm stirred up waves in the Chinese graphic online game market, which had not yet taken off.
As a Yubi executive who doesn't play games, Ge Ling is not a technology-oriented person. She just sees the vision of CQ, who developed "Spirit Realm", from a perspective. For a decision-maker who has to lead his subordinates and lead them to pursue wealth and honor, what is the most important thing? Or is it the vision that can see the shortcut to the future
There are too many examples in the world of people who have limited success and are trapped in their lifelong predicaments because of their lack of vision and pattern. Waves come one after another, and the world is constantly changing. How many companies and groups can finally survive such a wash without being eliminated, and even keep catching up with the tide
This requires decision makers to ride the wind and waves like an old captain on the sea.
Online games. Are the future.
Cheng Ran certainly didn't know that because of his actions, Ge Ling, the president of Zhonghai Yubi, was able to see some hope for the future in advance and thus made adjustments.
She heard Lu Ying's report in France that CQ had not taken it down, and also gave her a letter. Of course, she could only open the letter when she returned, but CQ's uncompromising attitude and even lack of panic were beyond her expectations.
So... maybe my estimation is wrong. CQ doesn't look like a small unprofitable software company that is struggling to wait for the cash flow from the game.
Hmm... Is there a support behind it, a source of blood transfusion
That being said, I underestimated...
Of course, CQ's affairs are only a part of Zhonghai Yubi's huge affairs. Ge Ling certainly can't take this as a big deal, and she doesn't think it requires her full attention.
I returned to the office to deal with the backlog of matters. When Lu Ying came to report, he mentioned this matter and handed over CQ's letter.
Ge Ling first looked at the report, then turned to the issuance statistics. As she read, it was always that thing that jumped into her eyes among the many complicated matters. This woman who had experienced the smoke of war and wore the medal of honor on her chest raised her head and looked at the assistant she had trained personally in front of her through the narrow-rimmed glasses, "The issuance of CQ coins increased by 4%?"
Lu Ying didn't expect her to ask this, and nodded, "We are still going through the process with Puzheng Company, and CQ coins have not been arranged yet. We expect to achieve growth in the second half of the month..."
Lu Ying didn't continue because Ge Ling interrupted her with a wave of her hand. She asked, "What has CQ done recently? Is there a problem with the operation of the Spirit Realm?"
"No, it's running normally." Lu Ying shook his head.
Ge Ling raised his glasses and said, "If it's not an operational error, then this increase is wrong. There is no 10% increase. In fact, 10% is an underestimate. There must be something wrong here..."
"Their letter..." Lu Ying pointed to Ge Ling's hand.
Only then did Ge Ling open the cowhide envelope and pull out the letter.
When it was unfolded, there was a typed letter in English.
Lu Ying watched the French queen of the company from beginning to end... Her intuition made her feel that something seemed to be out of the control of this woman with a strong will for power.
As an assistant who was personally recruited by Ge Ling and even trained as a confidant, Lu Ying learned a lot from Ge Ling in the past three years, but she understood that she was still not experienced enough and there were some things she could not see through.
There is a problem with CQ. What exactly went wrong with CQ
When he confronted them, the embarrassment and suppressed anger on the faces of their leaders could not be concealed. Even when he was about to leave, the look of grief on the faces of Li Mingshi and Lin Xiaosong were all genuine.
So when they asked her to bring a letter, she thought they were trying to bypass her impenetrable barrier and take a pathetic approach. It's not surprising, this kind of technical geek often has some unexpected ideas, but how can these work? He couldn't even convince himself, and he wanted to deliver a life-saving letter to the Queen of France
An ant trying to shake a tree.
But the president looked at the letter, which had three pages. After reading one page, she turned to the next page, thought about it, turned back and looked for a long time before turning back to the second page to continue reading. After finishing the third page, she sat on the chair.
When he looked up again, Ge Ling was already firm, "Go on another business trip to Chengdu and go to CQ. I want to meet the person who wrote this letter."
Lu Ying looked at him in surprise, "Isn't this letter written by their president Li Mingshi?"
"It's signed by him, but it shouldn't be him."
Ge Ling shook his head. "Otherwise, I would have been wrong. There is someone behind them, who might be the real decision maker... the one who can invest in CQ behind the scenes, and who can provide them with financial backup support after we intercept the capital flow of Spirit Realm and make them face the pressure of server operating costs!"
After Lu Ying left, Ge Ling stared at the letter on the table in a daze.
This letter describes from beginning to end how CQ will break free from the control of YuBi, the largest traditional game channel operator, how to sink the payment system, and even take the lead in occupying the market, thereby achieving the strategic goal of gaining the advantage of the online payment platform.
At the same time, it also planned a future for Yu Bi, that is, in the upcoming wave of Chinese online games, Yu Bi will lose its current channel advantages, funding, and talent advantages. The letter was vague, but Ge Ling read it out in a more specific and outlined expression.
The big ship of Yu Bi will run aground in China and gradually decline.
Ge Ling read out the tragic grandeur of a bystander watching the sinking of a huge ship, and the reluctance of the withered flowers at the end of their road.
I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute in advance to this company that has created and released many amazing games.
"Bêtiser!" A standard French curse came out of Ge Ling's mouth.
What the hell are you paying homage to!
…
Lu Ying never thought that just one week after she ended her trip to Chengdu and returned to Zhonghai, she would go to Chengdu again. Her original expectation was wrong. She originally thought that the next time she would meet with CQ people would be in Zhonghai.
She didn't know what CQ wrote in the letter to Ge Ling, but the reaction of President Ge Ling at that time was something she had never seen before. She didn't tell her what was in the letter, but as her assistant for three years, Lu Ying knew that the president was stimulated by the letter.
After Lu Ying put on a professional smile again, he said to Lin Xiaosong, "Our president wants to talk to your real boss, that is... the person who wrote the letter."
Lin Xiaosong originally wanted to deny it, but seeing Lu Ying's determined look, he found an excuse and called Cheng Ran to confirm it first, or to see Cheng Ran's opinion.
After hearing Cheng Ran's reply, Lin Xiaosong suspected that he had misheard, "Are you sure?"
When Lin Xiaosong came back after going to the bathroom on the pretext of something, Lu Ying put down the coffee cup in both hands and looked like he was listening attentively.
Lin Xiaosong paused for a moment, and said to the CEO spokesperson in front of him, who had the delicacy of a Zhonghai person and a good position in Yubi, "Our boss said..."
"Um?"
"No appointment..."
In fact, Cheng Ran didn’t finish his words.
Lin Xiaosong was also embarrassed.
The full picture is.
No, sister, we don’t have an appointment.
