Chapter 434 'King of Pesticide' is online, Tenda's internal crisis!
Senior brother Wang Yan's suggestion really made Zhang Shuo's eyes light up.
Lowering the group's technical center to build Qinghe Group's technical engineering business group will not only further enrich Qinghe Group's R&D capabilities, but also avoid personnel redundancy.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
But it is not completely without problems. Zhang Shuo asked: "The group's technical center is sinking. Let's not talk about Qingcheng Group for the time being. What about Pinxixi Group? Won't we be unable to obtain technical support from the headquarters in the future?"
This is also a very real problem.
Pinxixi Group is an important part of Germination's layout and cannot be missed.
"I have also considered this issue."
Wang Yan explained: "The sinking of the group's technology center does not mean that it will be merged into the Qinghe Group. The R&D personnel engaged in application-level research and development can be merged into the Qinghe Group's technology engineering business group, and those engaged in the underlying and basic research and development of the Internet will be
The R&D personnel will be integrated into the Fertile Soil Research Institute in the form of a laboratory."
It's like doing a spin-off.
The positioning of Fertile Land Research Institute itself is to focus on the research and development of basic and cutting-edge technologies.
It fits this very well.
For example, the search laboratory that Lu Qi was responsible for building was affiliated with the Fertile Soil Research Institute.
"In this way, the laboratories and joint data centers engaged in basic Internet research and development can still provide the lowest level and most cutting-edge technical support for Pinxixi Group, including Qingcheng Group."
It's like two things without delay.
"Okay, what about the incubation function of the group application center? What happens after the spin-off?"
Zhang Shuo continued to ask.
Although his own creative ideas for reference have been exhausted, it does not mean that there will be no new ideas and new ideas within Germination.
That’s too much to look down on the sprout.
In itself, the R&D atmosphere within Sprout is very strong, and innovation is always encouraged. As time goes by, new people will inevitably stand out.
Therefore, the incubator cannot be completely lost.
"This is easy too."
Wang Yan explained: "If it is application-level incubation, it can be left to Qinghe Group. If it involves project incubation such as artificial intelligence, Fertile Land Research Institute can fully assume this role."
On the surface, the Fertile Soil Research Institute is just a department under the Germination Group.
This is not the case.
Not to mention that with the support of R&D funding of one billion per month, the number of researchers under the Fertile Soil Research Institute has exceeded 10,000, and its R&D centers and laboratories are spread all over the world.
Its scale is comparable to that of any group subsidiary.
The outside world is envious of Qingcheng Group, Daosui Group has a high valuation, and envies Maili Group, and Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has strong profitability. However, everyone knows that Fertile Land Research Institute is the real essence of Sprout Group.
Because it represents the budding future.
Apart from anything else, taking the Germination Industrial Park as an example, the Fertile Soil Research Institute occupies more than half of the property. This shows the position of the Fertile Soil Research Institute in the Germination System.
Not even the group headquarters can compare.
Such a giant can indeed play the role of an incubator.
"That makes sense."
Seeing that Senior Brother had considered everything, Zhang Shuo's attitude did not soften and he said with a smile: "It seems that you are not just hot-headed."
"So, you agreed?" Wang Yan looked forward to it.
"Let's do this. I'll transfer you to the position of Senior Vice President and President of Technology Engineering Business Group of Qinghe Group. What do you think?" Although the senior brother took the initiative to ask for the transfer, Zhang Shuo could not wrong him.
The senior vice president of a group subsidiary is also at the M10 level, which is considered a flat position.
"Thanks!"
Of course Wang Yan knew that he was receiving special attention.
Others would not have this kind of treatment. Not to mention, Du Ruiwen, the former chairman and general manager of Qingyun Data, only got the position of vice president, not senior vice president.
………
Tenda Building.
Just when Wang Yan took the initiative to apply for the job, as the preparations for the establishment of Qinghe Group were officially launched, the relevant news could no longer be concealed and quickly spread in a small area within the industry.
Naturally, Tengda learned the relevant news as soon as possible.
"Qinghe Group..."
The second master's expression was complicated because he saw too many shadows of Tengda from Qinghe Group.
Even the organizational structure is almost the same.
It can even be said that many of Qinghe Group's businesses started by "imitating" Tengda, from the earliest games, to later social networking, to news clients, mobile browsers, etc.
The terrible thing is that although Qinghe Group is an imitator, it actually surpasses the imitated ones.
This is very magical.
From games, to social networking, to news clients, and mobile browsers, Tenda is almost always the one who is defeated, a proper supporting role and loser in the story.
It's really embarrassing.
Moreover, Qinghe Group has also made great achievements in the field of cloud computing. It can be said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
What Erye cannot accept the most is that with the emergence of Qinghe Group, in the future, even if Tenda wants to compete with Buya, the opponent will switch from the headquarters of Suya Group to Qinghe Group.
That is to say.
Tenda no longer deserves to be compared with the Sprout Group and can only compete with a subsidiary of the Sprout Group.
This is really cowardly.
But there is no way. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and strength is always respected.
"Boss, the purpose of Merger's integration of three subsidiaries into Qinghe Group this time is not to facilitate the spin-off and listing of Qinghe Group, right?" Lu Jian proposed an idea.
"It's not impossible."
From the successful listing of Auto.com to the rumors of the listing of Qingcheng Group.
Obviously, the internal views on financing and listing of the Sprout Group are quietly changing. In the future, it is estimated that it will be a matter of course to promote the spin-off and listing of the Qinghe Group.
"Then it is estimated that another Internet giant will be born." Lu Jian was very envious.
Not to mention the future potential of Qinghe Group, based on the current profit level, it will be very easy for the market value to exceed 400 billion once it is listed.
It may even surpass Tenda in market value.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the past, because the Sprout Group was not a pure Internet company, and Sprout was not determined to compete within China, the Chinese Internet still maintained the rhetoric of the Big Three.
But once Qinghe Group goes public, the structure of the three giants will be completely rewritten.
Lu Jian is as arrogant as Lu Jian, but facing the current Sprout Group, his confidence is somewhat weaker, and there is almost no news that he will compete with the Sprout Group.
I just hope that Tengda will not become the first laggard among the three giants.
"How is the integration work of Arnold Group going?" The second master changed the topic.
Obviously they don't want to damage morale.
"It's still the same, a mess."
Lu Jian got a headache when he mentioned this, "Boss, you also know that Ah Li is always good at forming cliques. Once they take action, we won't be able to form cliques even if we don't want to."
Facts have been proved once again.
If you want two of the Big Three to cooperate, you can also bring them together. If the three of them come together, something will happen.
Disaster!!!
"Then let's spend money and cut through the mess quickly. We can't delay it any longer." The birth of Qinghe Group gave the second master a sense of urgency.
"Taking advantage of the end of the year, promise more year-end bonuses, suppress the integration crisis as soon as possible, and build a new framework for the Arnold Group in the shortest possible time."
"After that, we will try to reduce direct intervention in the operations of Arnold Group as much as possible."
"This attitude needs to be explained clearly and thoroughly to Ahri and Qiandu. The budding cannon is about to be set up at the door. If we are not united, we will die together!"
At critical moments, Erye is the most decisive.
"clear!"
Lu Jian also looked slightly solemn, "I will personally coordinate this matter and it will be done well."
"Um."
The second master nodded slightly, he still recognized Lu Jian's ability.
………
Day, Monday.
After a slightly chaotic weekend, Zhang Shuo appeared at the company again.
There were some big events last week, especially within the Sprout Group. In addition to the preparations for the establishment of Qinghe Group, the Moyin app officially started internal testing.
It is expected that by April next year, the beta version will be launched simultaneously in both IOS and Android camps.
Just like when he was cultivating Pinxixi, Zhang Shuo set the operating strategy for the Moyin Technology team, which is the short video division of Qinghe Group that is being reorganized and established -
Slow first and then fast!
Go slowly in the early stage, wait until the app is polished and mature, and the operation is on the right track, then increase the allocation of resources to make it bigger and stronger in the shortest possible time.
The logic behind the original time and space Tengda hatching Weixin is actually the same.
This is originally in line with the logic of product development, but unfortunately, there are still many companies that do not understand even such a simple truth, such as Baohua Group and Hengda Group.
We are also building a car, and the car has not yet been seen, and the stall is in full swing.
A total liar!
In addition to the internal testing of Moyin app, last Friday, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment released another mobile game as usual, which is also the finale of 13 years - "King of Pesticide"!!!
Compared with the original time and space.
As the man behind "King of Pesticides", Zhang Shuo made some changes.
The first thing is to correct. The original time and space "King of Pesticide" subverted and even disrespected Chinese historical figures. For example, it set Jing Ke as a charming female assassin.
This is nonsense!
Secondly, this version of "King's Pesticide" draws as much as possible from the simplified version of "Dota 2" rather than "League of Legends" in terms of skills, equipment, heroes, maps, etc.
This is also easy to understand.
Zhang Shuo does not want to say that he was sued by Tengda because of "The King of Pesticide".
Don't be careless about copyright issues.
Fortunately, after several years of development, "Dota 2" has completely suppressed "League of Legends" globally, resulting in "League of Legends" players often being laughed at by "Dota 2" players.
I think "League of Legends" completely plagiarized "Dota 2".
Coupled with Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s golden brand, its outstanding R&D team, and excellent event operation mechanism, they have jointly made “Dota 2” the most influential competitive game in the world.
none of them!
With the player base accumulated by "Dota 2", it is difficult for "King of Pesticide" to become popular.
So.
How should we evaluate a mobile game like "King of Pesticide"?
Strictly speaking, "King of Pesticide" is really not an excellent game, especially in terms of originality, which is even more lackluster.
It can even be called mediocre.
But it cannot be said that the emergence of "King of Pesticide" has extremely catered to the general trend of changes in the mobile game market, which is that players are increasingly using simpler game mechanisms.
How to say?
The original "Dota" and "Dota 2" are very difficult. It takes a newbie several weeks or even months to fully master the gameplay, and the game time is very long.
More than 70% of new players gave up the game after playing 1-5 games.
This has resulted in very few new players of "Dota 2", unable to form a complete group. A small number of new players with no gaming experience play together with old players who practice "alt accounts".
Naturally, you will be disliked by old players.
Compared with "Dota", "League of Legends" has been simplified a lot, eliminating denial, reducing unnecessary time and operation consumption, and improving the smoothness of the game.
Therefore, at the beginning of its release, it attracted a large number of players to try it out.
In the era of mobile games, "King of Pesticide" has even canceled the replenishment of troops. Equipment can be purchased at any time and anywhere, and you can log in directly through Weixin.
The operation is simple, allowing players who have never been exposed to MOBA games to get started easily.
Moreover, the game time is not long, and players can play the game while commuting and waiting for others. Coupled with the strong social attributes of "King of Pesticides", it is normal for it to become popular.
Coupled with excellent operating mechanisms, a profit myth was created.
How profitable is "King of Pesticide"?
In the original space and time, in less than six years after its launch, the cumulative revenue of "King of Pesticide" easily exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars, with an average annual revenue of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.
On New Year's Eve in 2019, the single-day turnover was 1.3 billion;
On New Year's Eve in 2020, the single-day turnover was 2 billion.
How crazy is this?
Of course, things often have two sides.
It is precisely because the threshold of "King's Pesticide" is extremely low that the players of "King's Pesticide" are becoming extremely younger, with the proportion of players aged 54% being as high as 54%.
In addition, each game of "King of Pesticide" only takes an average of twenty or thirty minutes, which makes it easy for teenagers who are in the learning stage to become addicted to "King of Pesticide", which will seriously affect their studies.
Therefore, it has been widely criticized among parents and even the entire education community.
It often triggered criticism of the game.
Because of this, Tengda of the original time and space has been hit hard, and his reputation has constantly reached new limits.
Fortunately, in this life, under Zhang Shuo's urging, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has already established an effective anti-addiction system and minor protection system, and proactively set up a "safety dam".
Even if you earn a little less, you must not bear the stigma.
Tengda can make money without reputation, but Moya and Zhang Shuo are both concerned about face. The national degree they finally saved must not be ruined by "King of Pesticide".
Different from the original time and space Tengda who specifically preyed on Chinese players, in this life, Zhang Shuo has planned multiple versions of "King of Pesticide" from the very beginning.
In addition to the Chinese version, it also targets major global markets such as the Americas, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Tianzhu, and designs game heroes that conform to local history according to local conditions.
I am determined to harvest wool on a global scale.
This is not Zhang Shuo's hothead. In the original time and space, there was a company that borrowed the "King of Pesticides" and made a lot of money in the Southeast Asian market.
It made Tengda so angry that he cried!!!
Therefore, in this life, although "King of Pesticide" has given up on the Chinese youth group, the total global income may even be even more exaggerated than in the original time and space.
It will become the biggest money-attracting weapon of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in the future.
………
After reading the work briefing, Zhang Shuo came to the conference room next door.
At the meeting, the main discussion was actually about matters related to Qinghe Group. After all, this can be regarded as the biggest event at the end of the year for Sprout Group.
It cannot be valued enough.
Zhang Shuo first informed Wang Yan of his proposal and made his attitude clear.
"I agree!"
Wang Yan was willing to take the initiative and was recognized by the big boss Zhang Shuo. Naturally, Lu Kai, Jiang Yue and other senior executives had no objections and nodded.
"With the addition of Mr. Wang, Qinghe Group has become even more powerful." Lu Qi was even more excited.
Not just because he has another general under his command.
More importantly, in the previous senior management team of Qinghe Group, candidates such as Zhao Xiaohu, Cao Yanhua, Du Ruiwen, and even the director of operations can all be called "local faction".
Although Lu Qi thought he could control the situation, he obviously needed to put more thought into it.
But with Wang Yan parachuting from the group headquarters, it was equivalent to injecting fresh blood into Qinghe Group, breaking the old balance pattern. This was of course what Lu Qi was happy to see.
During the process of setting up the search laboratory, Lu Qi had had many interactions with Wang Yan and knew that Wang Yan was a purely technical talent, which was in line with his temperament.
Even better!
Following this topic, Lu Qi reported on the latest progress in the preparation of Qinghe Group.
"In terms of business integration, it was decided to incorporate Xiami Music, a subsidiary of Qingniao Interactive Entertainment, into the platform and content business group. As for Tubatu and Bajie.com, both of which are owned by Qingyun Data, they will maintain their original affiliations."
In itself.
It is more appropriate to classify Tubatu and Bajie.com into the platform and content business group.
However, Qingyun Data is no longer a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moya Holdings, and when it comes to the ownership of major assets, it is not the Moya family that has the final say.
The middle operation is too complicated, so I'll just leave it as it is.
"In terms of personnel integration, the preparatory group has discussed and decided that the enterprise development business group will be built with the functional departments of Qinghe Technology Headquarters as the skeleton, and some personnel will be transferred from Qingniao Interactive Entertainment to supplement it."
This is also very common sense.
Qinghe Group is already larger than Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, and its headquarters is located in Binhai City.
It can be said that the first to get the moon is the one closest to the water.
"Speaking of personnel integration, I have something to report here."
Jiang Yue suddenly interrupted.
"Chairman, Binhai City officials contacted me privately and asked, after the establishment of Qinghe Group, will the headquarters be located in Binhai City or in other cities?"
"Of course it's in Binhai City. Please don't worry about this from Binhai City."
Of course Zhang Shuo also knows what the officials of Binhai City are worried about. They are simply afraid that the Sprout Group will take advantage of the opportunity of preparing to establish Qinghe Group to continue hollowing out the Binhai City headquarters.
That would be too painful.
At the end of the meeting, the newly appointed vice president Zhao Mingchuan also reported something, "Chairman, the Xiangjiang Chamber of Commerce wants to invite you to attend this year's New Year tea party. How do you want to reply?"
As the vice president in charge of overseas affairs, Zhao Mingchuan has already rushed to work in Hong Kong.
Only returns to Marina City headquarters on Monday.
In a short period of time, we have established contact with Xiangjiang.
"I won't go."
As for the rich circle in Xiangjiang, Zhang Shuo, as an ordinary person in Yuan Shikong, has always looked down upon him, so naturally he did not want to get involved with these people.
He also publicly refuted Mr. Melon Picker’s face before.
I just didn't expect that the people in Xiangjiang were still very enthusiastic and tried every means to establish a personal relationship with Zhang Shuo. They probably also wanted to get in touch with the sprouting department.
Then I wanted to get a piece of the action.
For example, the emergence of Qinghe Group this time, many people subconsciously associate it with the listing. If possible, Xiangjiang naturally hopes that Qinghe Group will be listed in Xiangjiang.
Including Qingcheng Group, Pinxixi Group, etc.
It is not difficult to understand why Xiangjiang is so enthusiastic about Zhang Shuo.
It's obvious that the drunkard doesn't care about drinking.
"Well, it's up to you to come forward and attend that New Year's tea party to give the other party a face, that's all." Zhang Shuo instructed.
Although he looks down on Hong Kong's wealthy circle, Zhang Shuo doesn't want to completely break up with them.
There is no conflict of interest.
It would be too naive and willful to have unreasonable conflicts with such people just because of some differences in concepts or values.
You can offend one Mr. Melon Picker, but you can’t offend all of them.
"If you feel it is necessary, you can also invite Mr. Lu to attend." Zhang Shuo added.
"Then I will bring you, the chairman, to attend."
Lu Kai is also a smart man. He vaguely guessed the big boss's thoughts and took the opportunity to accept the job.
