Chapter 1766 Decision
Chapter 1,716 Decision
At this moment, it was the evening of December 26th in China, and Wu Zhaopu was getting ready to get off work. However, at this time, he received a call from Lin Feng.
"Boss, how are you? How about this donation amount? For me, it feels a bit small. After all, boss, you are currently a recognized philanthropist and the richest man in the world. If you only donate 10 million yuan for this Indonesian tsunami, I feel a bit unable to do it.
." Wu Zhaopu said thoughtfully.
In Wu Zhaopu's view, the Indonesian tsunami came at the right time. The company can rely on this donation to continue to increase the popularity of "War of the Worlds". It will coincide with the public beta of "War of the Worlds".
After hearing Wu Zhaopu's words, Lin Feng became furious. However, Lin Feng was no longer a young boy, so he still suppressed his anger and listened to Wu Zhaopu's words.
"Boss, how much do you think is appropriate to donate?" Wu Zhaopu asked.
Donate, I'll donate a hair... Lin Feng was furious.
"Boss, in fact, the company can donate 50 million US dollars at present. If we donate 50 million US dollars in the name of "World War", it will be a pretty good publicity tool, and it will also make players from all over the world recognize our company more."
Wu Zhaopu said with a smile.
No matter when, those who hold the righteousness will win the world. The "Second World" needs this kind of title of philanthropist, which can make the "Second World" game more easily accepted by the societies of various countries.
However, Wu Zhaopu obviously did not understand what Lin Feng was thinking at this moment. So, he continued to talk and talk about the benefits of donating money. However, he was completely unaware that Lin Feng's anger had been completely ignited by him.
"Mr. Wu, donate, I will donate to him..." Lin Feng shouted angrily after being silent for a long time.
Buzz... Lin Feng did not control himself when he shouted angrily. Therefore, the lion's roar seemed to be in Wu Zhaopu's ears, and it took Wu Zhaopu a long time to recover.
"Boss, you... what did you just say?" Wu Zhaopu was stunned for a long time. It seemed that Lin Feng just said that he would not donate. Is it okay not to donate? You must know that the Indonesian tsunami has made donations all over the world, but Lin Feng does not want to donate.
If the "Second World" does not donate, it will easily become the target of public criticism.
"Mr. Wu, let me say it again, I do not donate. Not only do I not donate, but all my companies do not donate, including Second World." Lin Feng said word for word.
Wu Zhaopu was stunned for a while, pinched himself to confirm that he heard correctly, and became anxious at that time.
"Boss, why is this? If you don't donate at this time, you will be criticized and it will not be good for "War of the Worlds"!" Wu Zhaopu was anxious.
"I know, but I won't donate!" Lin Feng said coldly.
"Boss, why is this? Why?" Wu Zhaopu shouted.
"Boss, I don't want to donate. But if you don't donate at this time, you will be attacked. Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft and other companies have donated money, but they are watching us. If you don't donate, they will definitely take it.
Talking about things and criticizing us in order to attack "War of the Worlds"." Wu Zhaopu said helplessly.
Wu Zhaopu has thought deeply about donating money to the Indonesian tsunami. "War of the Worlds" is about to be tested publicly, and as a direct competitor, the "gm13 Alliance", it definitely does not want "War of the Worlds" to be successfully tested. It's just that "
The "gm13 Alliance" has never had a chance to deal with the "Second World" and has no clues.
But this time there was a tsunami in Indonesia. If the "Second World" did not donate, it would definitely give the "gm13 Alliance" a voice. Wu Zhaopu could imagine how they would attack the "Second World" at that time. Therefore,
This donation to Indonesia is a must, and it cannot be less.
"Mr. Wu, I don't care how much Nintendo and EA have donated. Anyway, I won't donate." Lin Feng said forcefully.
"Boss, this won't work!" Wu Zhaopu's face was full of bitterness. Anyone who really knows about the 1998 Indonesian massacre of Chinese people will never feel comfortable donating to Indonesia this time, but there is no way now.
Sometimes, there is no benefit or advantage if you do something, but if you don't do it, you will be in big trouble.
"Zhaopu, what's wrong? What's the matter?" At this time, Chen Xiaowei came over. Originally, she came to call Wu Zhaopu to get off work, but before she got close, she heard Wu Zhaopu's pleading voice.
"Oh, Xiaowei, you came just in time. Please persuade the boss that he is not going to donate money this time due to the tsunami in Indonesia. You said that if you don't donate money at this time, you are not giving credit to the population!" Wu Zhaopu was anxious!
He hurriedly told Chen Xiaowei the cause and effect.
"Director Lin, in this matter, we are a company, a superior company, and we must start from the overall situation. As the chairman, you should know that every move you make represents the entire company, and you cannot act based on your own emotions." Chen Xiaowei said solemnly.
As soon as Wu Zhaopu heard this, he knew he was going to be bad. He knew Lin Feng very well. He was not the kind of person who followed the rules at all. If Lin Feng was the kind of strict person, I am afraid he would not be as successful as he is now.
. It can be said that Lin Feng is able to achieve his current status to a large extent because of Lin Feng's personality charm. If you want to persuade Lin Feng on this matter, you really can't do so.
Unfortunately, it's too late now.
"But." Chen Xiaowei still wanted to argue, but Lin Feng no longer gave her a chance.
"Okay, Mr. Wu, I absolutely do not agree with donations on this matter. If you don't agree, then convene the company's board of directors to discuss and vote." Lin Feng said.
Wu Zhaopu thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Boss, then we won't donate. We won't announce it to the public, and let this matter pass peacefully." Wu Zhaopu immediately made a decision. As for the voting mentioned by Lin Feng, Wu Zhaopu disagreed. Now this
It would have caused trouble. If you vote again, wouldn't you be going against Lin Feng? For the currently booming "second world", going against the founder of the company will only bring turmoil to the company. There is no
any benefit.
"Well, Mr. Wu, don't worry. Even if you don't donate money, "World War" will still be popular this time and become the most popular online game in the history of the world." Lin Feng said confidently.
"Boss, will you return to the company on January 1st?" Wu Zhaopu asked.
"Of course, I will never miss this moment." Lin Feng said expectantly.
After waiting for 3 years for "War of the Worlds", Lin Feng will never miss this opportunity.
However, Wu Zhaopu wanted to get through this matter in a low-key manner, but the "gm13 Alliance", which had been paying attention to the "Second World", did not intend to let it go. During the Indonesian tsunami, each of the "gm13" alliances donated US$5 million.
They are staring at the "Second World" and want to see how much the "Second World" donates. If the "Second World" does not donate as much as they do, then they will be prepared to cause trouble for the "Second World".
Originally, the "gm13 Alliance" did not have much expectations, and it was just for the purpose of disgusting the "Second World". As a result, they discovered that during the Indonesian tsunami incident, rumors spread that the "Second World" did not donate money.
.And what makes them even more excited is that there are rumors within the "Second World" that they will not donate this time.
Originally, this charitable donation was a matter of mutual consent, and no one else could say whether or not to donate. But if the "Second World" did not donate at all, it would be unreasonable. Especially if the employees' donations were refunded, this was
It's even more of a big event.
Therefore, after learning from a programmer of "Second World" that "Second World" did not donate to Indonesia and returned all employee donations, the "gm13 Alliance" immediately used various channels to send this
The news got out.
At this time, the world's spearheads were all aimed at the "Second World". All humanitarians accused the "Second World" of being cold-blooded, causing the "Second World" stock prices to plummet.
In an instant, the "Second World" became a target of public criticism.
The strong public pressure from the outside has divided the "Second World" into two factions. One faction is the compromise faction headed by Chen Xiaowei, who advocates donations and believes that this will be detrimental to the company. Although donations are charity, they are also face-saving projects.
In the face of natural and man-made disasters, if you don't make a donation, you are giving truth to others. Especially the "Second World" has always been the target of public criticism. At critical times, we should be cautious and cautious instead of trying to please the public.
Obviously, this compromise shot was directed at Lin Feng. But no one said it out, fearing that it would cause chaos. In the "second world", no one dared to question Lin Feng's fault to his face.
The other group is the hardliners, who believe that we must not compromise with the outside world now. Regardless of whether it is right not to donate money, the "Second World" cannot compromise now. If it compromises, then whether the outside world will say anything casually in the future, the "Second World" must
What about changing policies for the outside world?
But at the moment, hardliners do not have the upper hand. Affected by "Second World"'s non-donation, many players, incited by the outside world, believe that "Second World" is a cold-blooded and philistine game company, so they refuse to play "Second World"
" game, many players even sat in protest in the game, demanding that "Second World" donate a certain percentage of its sales to Indonesia to support families who lost their homes in the Indonesian tsunami.
Therefore, within the "Second World" currently, the compromise faction has the upper hand.
"Xiaowei, you will divide the company!" Wu Zhaopu persuaded.
This time, the representative of the compromise faction is Chen Xiaowei, while the representative of the hardline faction is Wu Zhaopu. However, the two of them are lovers. It has to be said that fate plays a trick on people.
"Zhaopu, you should know that this is a public relations incident. The 'gm13 Alliance' has been looking for opportunities to deal with us, but this time we gave them the opportunity to deal with us. You see, the company's stock price is about to break through 200 US dollars now.
, now I have lost 170 yuan because of this incident. If I don’t donate, I may even lose 150 yuan. Especially "World War" may also be implicated in this incident, and the future is slim!" Chen Xiaowei was sincere and advised Wu
Zhaopu.
Wu Zhaopu frowned.
"Zhaopu, I think this matter should be discussed by the board of directors. In three days, "War of the Worlds" will be released for public testing. We must resolve this crisis before then, otherwise it will affect "War of the Worlds" and all of us will be affected.
I can't bear this responsibility." Seeing Wu Zhaopu's moved expression, Chen Xiaowei immediately stepped up her persuasion.
"Convene a board of directors?" Wu Zhaopu was stunned. He has the right, but now that Lin Feng has been dragged to the UK and has not returned, it seems not good to hold a board of directors at this time.
"I also know that Director Lin has not come back yet. But now the situation is pressing. "War of the Worlds" will be released to the public in three days. We must resolve this matter within three days." Chen Xiaowei urged.
In Chen Xiaowei's view, it is really difficult to solve this matter in three days. For things like this, even if the "Second World" donates money now, the anger from the outside world will not be so easy to calm down. Unless the "Second World" donates
Donating a huge amount of money can calm the anger of the outside world. But donating a huge amount of money in this matter may not make many people feel comfortable. Even Chen Xiaowei, the representative of the compromise shoot, does not agree.
Difficult choice!——Chen Xiaowei has a headache.
