Losing Money to Be a Tycoon
chapter-1272

At the same time, Zhang Yuan had just arrived at the GOG project team and was looking for the new person-in-charge, Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan entered Tengda at about the same time as Min Jingchao. That was the first batch after Tengda’s recruitment examinations and the Tengda Spirit test.

Both of them had no experience in the games industry before entering Tengda. One was in accounting, the other was in fashion design. Both of them changed their careers midway.

Min Jingchao became a systems designer after joining the GOG project team. Zhang Nan was mainly in charge of the heroes’ styling and the theme skin design. She would communicate directly with Ruan Guangjian’s workspace and take care of the art requirements of other games apart from GOG.

Now that Min Jingchao had been transferred away, GOG’s project team needed a new person-in-charge.

Eric and Zhao Xuming were only in charge of operations while Zhang Nan was in charge of game development.

No matter which direction these designers focused on, they would basically have some knowledge about the design of the game function. Min Jingchao was an example. Even though he was mainly doing systems, he was also responsible for designing new gameplay and new functions.

Zhang Nan was the same.

Pei Qian did not think too much about promoting her because she looked familiar. She was one of the few people he could remember.

The reason why he did not promote people he did not know was mainly because he was worried. He was afraid that he would accidentally draw an SSR and make it fly.

Tengda Corporation was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. They did not dare to draw randomly.

What’s more, Zhang Nan had been in charge of the skin and art needs previously. Designing game functions was not her forte. Pei Qian felt that she should be more relieved than Min Jingchao if she was the person-in-charge.

Pei Qian was a little emotional when he decided that Zhang Nan would be the new person-in-charge.

Back then, Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, and Zhang Nan were the first to enter Tengda Games. Hu Xianbin, who performed the best, was suffering in Shennongjia. Min Jingchao, who performed second, was sent to Guangzhou. Only Zhang Nan, who performed relatively mediocrely, remained in the GOG project team.

Perhaps this was what people meant when they said that the tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind!

It looked like he still had to understand how to be mediocre when working in Tengda.

Pei Qian really wanted to compile the case studies of these three people and distribute them to Tengda’s employees to learn from them.

Zhang Yuan’s current identity was still the person-in-charge of DGE Club and the person-in-charge of the E-Sports Department. His work was very closely related to the GOG project team, so he came over often. What’s more, there was a work desk here.

Recently, Zhang Yuan’s presence in Boss Pei’s eyes had been very low.

That was because he had been deliberately keeping a low profile, afraid that he would be caught again.

He had already lost Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. He could not continue to lose DGE Club and E-Sports Department anymore.

What’s more, Suffering Travels was established.

Zhang Yuan noticed that the entire GOG project team was brimming with joy.

That was normal. After all, they had just won a huge battle.

Zhang Yuan did not know much about the internal changes in the GOG project team, but he would definitely pay attention to GOG online.

This time, GOG’s beautiful fishing punishment lured IOI to take the initiative to lean over and slap it. Not only was the damage huge, but it was also extremely insulting. It also expanded GOG’s market share.

“This is GOG’s next version of the development plan, as well as the relevant event plan that requires the E-Sports Department’s corporation. The electronic version has been sent to your email.” Zhang Nan saw Zhang Yuan coming and took a document from the desk and handed it over.

Zhang Yuan took it and flipped through it.

The E-Sports Industry Department had to cooperate often with the GOG project team. For example, they had to warm up the new versions, new heroes, organize professional players to try out the new versions, organize new entertainment models, and so on.

In fact, they had originally sent the electronic version. However, Zhang Yuan had wanted to come and visit today, so Zhang Nan had printed another paper version.

“The GOG project team did look a little different after moving to the new floor.”

“Speaking of which, the personnel changes this time was rather drastic. I actually had a premonition that Boss Pei would transfer Min Jingchao away, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”

“What’s more, I didn’t expect Boss Pei to poach the two people-in-charge from IOI…”

Zhang Yuan originally thought that even if Boss Pei transferred Min Jingchao away, he would probably promote a new person-in-charge directly from the original project team.

Zhang Nan smiled. “Indeed, I didn’t think of it either. Otherwise, why would Boss Pei be Boss Pei? From the looks of it now, the personnel transfer was unexpectedly successful!”

“I can clearly feel that Eric and Zhao Xuming are completely different from Min Jingchao.”

“They might not be stronger, but they have improved significantly!”

Zhang Yuan: “Hm? What do you mean?”

Zhang Nan explained, “When Min Jingchao was in charge, his main focus was on the development of the new version and the internal affairs.”

“All sorts of publicity and operations are done around the new content of the game. Most of the time, they would not take the initiative to do some activities for IOI. They would only plan the corresponding activities because of Boss Pei’s requirements.”

“However, Eric is different. He pays more attention to the outside world. It can be said that he is always watching the movements of the competition game. What’s more, the operating plan he gave is especially targeted!”

“Obviously, most of this success is due to this personnel transfer.”

Zhang Yuan nodded. “Indeed.”

Min Jingchao and Eric were different mainly because of two reasons.

First, Min Jingchao was in charge of development and operations at the same time. It was often difficult to manage both. He could only focus most of his energy on development. After all, developing new content was the foundation of operations.

In terms of operations, he did not want to make any mistakes. He wanted stability.

However, after this personnel transfer, Zhang Nan was in charge of the development aspect. Eric and Zhao Xuming paid attention to the operations of the overseas and domestic server at the same time. The division of labor was more reasonable and clear. The cooperation between development and operations might not be as smooth as one person, but it could ensure that the work was deeper and more detailed.

Second, Min Jingchao did not have much in-depth research on operational activities. He was not good at personal ability. Most of the time, he did not dare to do more aggressive activities.

However, Eric and Zhao Xuming were both operators and knew IOI very well. Naturally, they were more passionate about catching IOI’s flaws and dealing critical damage.

To the employees of the project team, this personnel transfer was obviously a stroke of genius. It was a very natural transformation.

Previously, GOG’s main goal was to consolidate itself and ensure the quality of the game. It was not too aggressive. However, the gap between the two parties had widened. It was time to attack the enemy mercilessly!

Needless to say, this was all thanks to Boss Pei.

Zhang Nan added, “I also noticed something else. It was a chain reaction caused by the personnel transfer!”

“Boss Pei got rid of a formidable enemy like Long Yu Corporation for GOG!”

Zhang Yuan was a little surprised. “What do you mean? Long Yu Corporation won’t be hurt because of IOI, right?”

Long Yu Corporation was considered a large company in the country and had a lot of resources. Previously, many of IOI’s activities were jointly organized by Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation. It had indeed brought some trouble to GOG.

However, Long Yu Corporation was still doing well. How could it be considered as’ removed ‘?

Zhang Nan explained, “It’s very simple. Long Yu Corporation will no longer go against us. Isn’t that equivalent to turning enemies into friends and solving the obstacles?”

“Dayak Corporation, Finger Games, Long Yu Corporation, these three companies might be directly related to IOI but their attitude towards this game is also very different.”

“As long as we make good use of this difference, we can effectively divide and attack!”

“At first, I was a little confused. Why did Boss Pei pay such a huge price to poach Zhao Xuming? You have to know that Zhao Xuming had a business competition agreement. Boss Pei agreed to give Sun Strike Studios and Long Yu Corporation an idea before Long Yu Corporation released him.”

“How precious is Boss Pei’s idea? I feel that it would be a loss to use it to exchange for Zhao Xuming.”

Zhang Yuan nodded. He had heard about this a long time ago. “Do you mean that there are other benefits to this?”

Zhang Nan nodded. “Of course, it’s killing three birds with one stone!”

“First of all, the internal department of the company, as I said just now, optimize the personnel configurations so that Min Jingchao can continue to grow and design new games so that the personnel structure of the GOG project team can be further optimized.”

“The second is to rope Long Yu Corporation in.”

“At the moment, Long Yu Corporation has always been more hostile to us because GOG and IOI are direct competitors, right? However, anyone with eyes can tell that IOI’s local server is getting worse by the day.”

“Long Yu Corporation has no other choice. We can only hang on for the sake of the profits of IOI’s local server.”

“However, Boss Pei’s new game has given Long Yu Corporation other choices now. Once this game is released, Long Yu Corporation will definitely transfer a lot of resources to promote it as long as the figures are not bad. Who would still care about IOI’s local server then?”

“I think Long Yu Corporation’s internal attitude will definitely relax soon and gradually lean towards us. This is a successful division!”

“Once Long Yu Corporation’s attitude changes and gradually moves towards us, the subsequent battles would definitely be easy!”

“The last point is my guess. It might not be right.”

“I think there might be many good ideas for Boss Pei. The reason why he threw this idea out this time might be to test a model.”

“Tengda Corporation’s research and development capabilities are ultimately limited. No matter how much research and development Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games do, they only make four or five games a year.”

“There is always a limit to the number of people you can recruit. You have to nurture the new people slowly. It is impossible to finish them in one day.”

“Many teams of other games companies have been working together for a long time. It’s unrealistic to poach them all. The efficiency of poaching people alone is very low.”

“In short, time had limited Boss Pei’s imagination.”

“However, if we can use this ‘outsourcing’ method to promote this model, wouldn’t we be able to quickly develop many good games? What’s more, Boss Pei only came up with an idea and could get a good share of the profits for Tengda. This is a win-win model.”

“If this model can be widely promoted, not only can it bring a considerable income to the company, but it can also gradually influence the game environment in the entire domestic market!”

Zhang Yuan nodded as he listened.

Yes, that made sense!

Boss Pei could not have spent so much effort just to poach someone. All along, Boss Pei had been taking every step of the way. He must have gained many things before he did it.

Zhang Nan’s explanation was indeed more reasonable.

The first two points had been quickly verified, but the last point was still unclear.

However, once it succeeded and the Tengda model was promoted domestically, it would definitely have a huge impact!

In fact, on further thought, one would realize that Boss Pei had already set up a plan for this field. Whether it was the independent game incubation base of the Destitution Plan or the exposed game platform that he had sent Li Yada to be in charge of, they seemed to be laying the groundwork for a huge plan.

Zhang Yuan could not help but feel emotional. Boss Pei was indeed too unfathomable!

The departments were growing in Tengda, and the development of each department and project was getting faster. Previously, Zhang Yuan could still grasp the movements of the other departments, but he could not do it anymore.

There was already a situation of “different professions are different worlds” in Tengda. Zhang Yuan could no longer understand Boss Pei’s true intentions in the GOG project team.

Every person-in-charge could only understand Boss Pei’s intentions in the field that they were in charge of. However, Boss Pei could manage so many departments and always guide them at the right time.

What a powerful planning capability!

Zhang Yuan’s impression of Boss Pei improved tremendously.

However, after sighing at Boss Pei’s exciting operations, the question that was troubling Zhang Yuan surfaced in his heart again.

“But… How do you explain Suffering Travels?”

“You’re a person-in-charge now. You won’t be able to escape sooner or later.”

Zhang Nan: “…”

At first, she did not pay much attention to Suffering Travels. However, after hearing Zhang Yuan’s words, her face fell.

Indeed, sometimes, being the person-in-charge of Tengda was not as good as being an ordinary employee. That was because the person-in-charge often had to be on tenterhooks. He was either worried about being replaced or worried about traveling.

In the past, it had been alright. At the very most, he had gone on a holiday. However, now that Bao Xu had arranged everything, it was too difficult since he would choose those deserted places!

“This… Perhaps Boss Pei wants to hone the willpower of the people in charge…”

Zhang Nan’s voice became softer and softer.

They looked at each other silently.

…

At the same time, the boss behind the scenes that everyone had in mind was staring at Eric and Zhao Xuming in the conference room.

Eric and Zhao Xuming were obviously very happy.

They had just joined the company for a week and had perfectly used the new skin that Min Jingchao had made previously to deal a heavy blow to IOI!

It should be considered a small achievement even in Tengda, right?

This proved that Boss Pei had a unique insight when he poached us. What’s more, we did not let Boss Pei down. We won the trust of GOG’s colleagues!

Boss Pei must be here to praise us today!

However, all Pei Qian wanted to do now was shout at them. They were all liars!

I fell for a huge trap!

I didn’t poach you to make a lot of money for me!

The situation was a little different from what he had expected. Pei Qian felt that he had to think of something.

If Eric and Zhao Xuming were so ruthless, wouldn’t IOI die before long?

First, he had to find out who the culprit was.

That must be Eric.

Given Zhao Xuming’s character, he should not have made such a big move a week after taking over.

Pei Qian thought about how to gradually change their positioning.

The current situation was that Eric was killing everyone. Zhao Xuming was his assistant. The two of them cooperated perfectly.

That would definitely not do. The two of them had previously worked together in IOI in this way. It was very stable and there had never been a problem.

If he allowed it to continue, he would be waiting to die.

What if he switched their positions?

What would happen if he found a way to get Zhao Xuming to provide a plan?

Zhao Xuming’s plan would definitely not be as aggressive as Eric’s as a person who did not dare to take the blame. He should be able to give IOI some breathing room.
