Chapter 206 The budding candidate for president? Zhang Shuo makes the move!
With the name change of Sprout, the candidate for group president has also been put on the agenda.
Not only are there more and more subsidiaries under the group, and the business is becoming more and more complex, but after several expansions, the group headquarters also needs a president to handle daily affairs.
It's just that Zhang Shuo didn't speak, so other executives naturally couldn't mention it.
The only person currently related to the position of president is Lu Kai, who has signed a performance betting agreement with Meiya. However, judging from the current development trend of Meiya, Lu Kai is basically going to lose.
Everything goes well.
Not to mention three years, next year the sprout is expected to reach a valuation of 100 billion.
Zhang Shuo is also already thinking about the candidate for the president of Bu Ya. In addition to the growing business, it is also because he has passed the postgraduate re-examination and will go to graduate school in September.
In this case, Sprout needs a president who can handle daily affairs.
His preferred candidate is Jiang Yue.
That's not to say that Jiang Yue is the most capable among the senior executives. Frankly speaking, Lu Kai and Gu Mingzhang's abilities are both above Jiang Yue's.
But Jiang Yue is not without advantages.
One is the oldest, having followed Zhang Shuo before his career started.
past year.
He has made great contributions to the development of Sprout Group.
Second, although Jiang Yue is not good at professional abilities, he has extremely rich management experience in human resources management, finance and accounting, administrative and other matters.
They are also composite talents.
These management abilities are also consistent with the position of president of Sprout Group.
Even if Zhang Shuo said he was going to graduate school, it would be a part-time job and a part-time study, so he couldn't really just abandon his career.
Therefore, the position of the president of Sprout Group is mainly an administrative position. The power is not as great as imagined. The position is also higher and the salary is higher.
More like half a tool man.
Zhang Shuo is also not interested in cultivating a powerful CEO within the sprout group, and will handle all the daily affairs of the sprout group on his behalf, while he himself retreats behind the scenes.
He is too young!
He himself still needs more experience, so he is anxious to think about his successor.
Not to mention, even thirty years later, Zhang Shuo is only fifty-four years old and is still in the prime of life. Where is the need to talk about cultivating a successor?
Even if he is like the long-lived emperors in ancient times, he will endure the death of one prince after another.
…………
The next morning.
Cao Yanhua took the initiative to report to Zhang Shuo, who had just returned from the beautiful country the day before yesterday.
It’s time to catch up with the company’s first anniversary.
"It is expected that next month, EPIC will send a working group to Binhai City to work with Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment to prepare a new company. Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment Engine Research Institute will also send a dozen developers to EPIC headquarters in accordance with the terms of cooperation.
Conduct three-month communication training.”
Negotiating the investment in EPIC is undoubtedly crucial for Cao Yanhua to consolidate his position in the company.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Zhang Shuo is also very satisfied with the fruitful results of Cao Yanhua’s trip to China. Investing in EPIC can be said to have made up for the last shortcoming of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in the gaming field.
Of course, the follow-up will also depend on whether the Engine Research Institute can produce results.
After briefly talking about his suggestions for the new company, Zhang Shuo smiled and talked about another topic: "Tengda is coming again, will it have any impact on Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment?"
There is no doubt about it.
After the social field, in the next period of time, Tenda and Sprout will start a new round of competition and game around the mobile game market.
Compared with the lack of confidence in the social track, mobile games are Zhang Shuo’s home field.
In addition to replicating classic mobile games from previous generations, it also established the game distribution channel 71 Assistant early and acquired a lot of copyrights, eliminating the risk of infringement in advance.
Especially the mobile game license with Blizzard is a stroke of genius.
In the past, the budding Weixin was a challenger in the social networking field. Now that it has moved to the mobile game field, Tenda is more like a challenger. Otherwise, it would not be so impatient to launch Game Center on WeChat.
"Actually it's not bad."
Faced with the competition with Tenda again, Cao Yanhua became more calm and said with a smile: "Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds, which are represented by Tenda, are popular but low-income games. Their main sources of income are
It's just embedded advertising. This will be very unfriendly to Chinese players."
Because of the anomaly of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, in the field of mobile games, the Chinese market is a global leader rather than a follower in the original time and space, which has almost reshaped the previous mobile game ecology.
The most classic one is the innovation in the revenue model.
Driven by classic mobile games such as "Big Watermelon", "Xiaxiaole", and "Subway Surfers", Chinese players have long been accustomed to the game model of "free download, no ads, and rational spending".
Like "Big Watermelon".
After several versions of updates and iterations, to this day, whether it is picture quality, gameplay, or even background music, it all beats "Fruit Ninja" of the same type.
It's such a high-quality game that players can play it well even without spending a penny from beginning to end.
With the comparison of "Big Watermelon", how can players tolerate the advertisements embedded in "Fruit Ninja"? How sweet they are now, they will be scolded in the future.
“Don’t underestimate Tenda’s operational level.”
Compared with Cao Yanhua's over-optimism, Zhang Shuo is cautiously optimistic, "Tengda may not be able to create original products, but it is still very good at extracting money from players' pockets.
"Introducing "Fruit Ninja" and "Angry Birds" into the domestic market may not necessarily follow the old path of product placement. It may also be revised and introduce a prop charging model."
"That's not scary either."
Cao Yanhua still insists on his point of view, "The simple level-breaking modes of "Fruit Ninja" and "Angry Birds", even if the props are charged, the operating space is extremely limited."
Tenda introduced these two games more just to build momentum.
"As for several self-made games by Tenda, they are not online yet, so it is difficult to comment. At least it is certain that there is no conflict in type with the games owned by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, and the impact is not huge."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But it cannot be said that it has no impact.
After all, the mobile game market is just that big. If Tenda comes in and carves up part of the market, then the market share of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will definitely decrease accordingly.
It will no longer be possible for one family to be as dominant as it is now.
Take the IOS free game rankings as an example. All eight mobile games of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment are in the top 20, and five of the top ten are games from Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
How outrageous.
As Tenda accelerates its expansion into the mobile gaming field, this spectacular scene is likely to be gone forever.
"As long as you know what's going on."
Zhang Shuo himself actually didn't pay much attention to Tengda's so-called provocation. Instead, he asked about another matter, "How is the progress of placing 71 Assistant into an independent subsidiary?"
After 71 Assistant matures, it will be included in the structure of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment as a separate business unit.
Same level as the studio group.
Now, Zhang Shuo is going one step further and plans to separate 71 Assistant into a subsidiary to operate independently, which will also help expand its business of channel distribution of all-category apps.
No longer just focus on game distribution.
The more important purpose of incorporating 71 Assistant into the subsidiary company is, of course, to pave the way for future "selling oneself" and complete the separation with Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment as soon as possible.
"The subsidiary has been registered and is going through the process."
To be honest, Cao Yanhua didn't understand Zhang Shuo's decision, but after all, it was just an extra process, so he didn't raise any objections.
Moreover, operating 71 Assistant in the name of a subsidiary can indeed reduce operating risks.
If Cao Yanhua knew about it, Zhang Shuo had already made up his mind and planned to sell Assistant 71 when he was ready. He must have thought that 10,000 mythical beasts were passing by.
…………
Send Cao Yanhua away.
Zhang Shuo then called Jiang Yue to the office and asked with a smile: "What do you think if Zhu Zhenghong replaces you as the general manager of Germinal Real Estate?"
"sure."
Jiang Yue's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously said: "Although Zhu Zhenghong only planned to work for three to five years before leaving, the situation has changed again."
At the beginning.
Sprout Real Estate is only responsible for operating three projects: data center, youth apartment and headquarters building. Later, it added two projects: global R&D center and Maili Technology headquarters building.
and.
It is foreseeable that in the next few years, Germination Group will continue to acquire land and build buildings.
Not even mentioned.
If Qingyun Data wants to build a nationwide server network, it will need to build at least two new super data centers, which will be a huge project.
And with the development of Sprout Group, there is no guarantee that it will be able to acquire land and build buildings in other cities in the future.
Such a calculation.
Sprout real estate is no longer a one-time deal, but will develop along with the development of Sprout Group.
Zhu Zhenghong will definitely not be able to escape for a while.
From Zhu Zhenghong's perspective, if possible, he would of course be willing to work at Sprout Real Estate until retirement. After all, today's Sprout Group has been shrouded in a halo.
Who is willing to leave?
"Actually, I am playing a supervisory role in Sprout Real Estate now. Zhu Zhenghong is doing all the specific things. He is also qualified for the position of general manager."
It can be seen that Jiang Yue thinks highly of Zhu Zhenghong as his partner.
"Then it's settled."
Naturally, there was nothing strange about Zhang Shuo's face.
"Okay, I don't have to worry anymore." Jiang Yue smiled.
"As for your position, you have to change it." Zhang Shuo changed the subject, "Just be promoted to senior vice president of the Sprout Group. You will still assist me and be mainly responsible for managing the daily affairs of the Sprout Group."
"good."
Jiang Yue's heartbeat was half a beat faster, and it was rare that she was not so calm.
She knew the significance of this appointment very well. Although she was not directly promoted to the president of the Germination Group in one step, she was almost doing the things of the president.
and.
From Jiang Yue's point of view, she really needs such a transitional period to first assume the title of senior vice president, so as not to cause a strong backlash from below.
I admire Zhang Shuo's move very much, it is so wonderful.
