Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Three It's too easy to provoke right and wrong.
In about twenty minutes, Lin Zhentang arrived at Gao Jin's office. Gao Jin invited Lin Zhentang to sit down and drink tea.
"Old Lin, how is the current progress of the different world?" Gao Jin asked.
When the Different World project was established, Gao Jin and Lin Zhentang seriously discussed the game. There are many large-scale client games produced in China, but they are all colorful and the playability is really not high.
After playing around, many players finally fell into World of Warcraft.
It’s not that domestic players don’t support domestic PC games, it’s that the planning departments of these game companies have all fallen into the eyes of money. They don’t care at all about what the players’ needs are, other than making money or making money.
It is Gao Jin's wish to create a classic online client game. Now that he has the ability, he must realize this wish.
"Chairman, various departments are currently in the process of installation planning. We have spent 220 million on purchasing copyrights and customizing music..."
Lin Zhentang began to report the current situation of the game company in detail. Gao Jin nodded while listening. It was very good. It was already good to achieve this result in just a few months.
Seventeen patented technologies, this is a big surprise. I didn’t expect that game technology can also be patented.
Game patent applications are very demanding. Most technologies cannot be patented, and there are even fewer patents that can be approved.
At present, many technologies have been patented by large game companies, and small game companies must pay patent fees to use them.
Of course, you don’t have to use it, which requires you to invest huge amounts of money in research and development. As for whether it can succeed in the end.
The devil knows.
Lin Zhentang is not an ordinary person, but a very capable person. He comes from a wealthy family. He doesn't like to study and only likes to play games.
His family arranged for him to study abroad in RB, and he changed his major without authorization and studied game design. When he was about to graduate from college, his family's business ran into problems, so Lin Zhentang joined an RB game company.
After working this job for two years, I started self-study. After a year of self-study, I successfully passed the assessment of Activision Blizzard and joined Blizzard.
After working at Blizzard for six years, I was poached by Penguin. After working at Penguin for four years, I moved to the Protoss Group.
As a forty-year-old man, he neither looks for a girlfriend nor gets married. In Lin Zhentang’s words, the game is his wife, and he will be married to the game for the rest of his life.
Her parents forced her to get married and arranged a blind date for Lin Zhentang. After three or four years of hard work, they finally had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, there are three cousins of Lin Zhen, and it is enough to have two older brothers to carry on the family line.
During Gao Jin's interview, he and Lin Zhentang had a good chat, and their ideal games were highly consistent.
Gao Jin didn’t understand technology and didn’t know how to do it, but Lin Zhentang understood. Just like that, Lin Zhentang became the general manager of Starlight Games.
After officially joining the company, Lin Zhentang put forward a report on the development of a new generation of game engines. As soon as he was approved, Lin Zhentang started recruiting manpower for research and development.
Recruited personnel must pass the two-star assessment, which does not look at your academic qualifications, only your skills.
Recruitment information has been posted on major recruitment websites in China. As long as you are admitted, all tickets, food and accommodation for the interview will be reimbursed. If you are not admitted, you will not be reimbursed.
Many people with low academic qualifications who thought they were very skilled came for interviews, but as a result, not many were retained.
So far, only 64 people have been hired.
The Minister of Personnel, Jiang Zhenliang, had strong objections to this, and even had a quarrel with Lin Zhentang over this. Lin Zhentang refused to let go, saying bluntly that he would rather be deficient than indiscriminate.
Putting these more than 60 people in the game engine research and development department to start research and development, the progress is not slow at all. It is expected that the research and development will be completed by the first half of next year.
While the two were chatting, Han Xiaoxi came over and said, "Chairman, Mayor Zhang Hongbin is here."
"Please" Gao Jin said and Han Xiaoxi turned around and left.
Gao Jin turned to look at Lin Zhentang and said, "Old Lin, follow the plan. What we need are high-quality talents. We must stick to the principle of shortage rather than excess. I have something to do today, and we will talk another day."
It was very pleasant to chat with Lin Zhentang, the two of them had a common language.
"Okay, Chairman, I want to take my leave." Lin Zhentang stood up after saying that. Gao Jin saw Lin Zhentang off, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he met Zhang Hongbin.
Han Xiaoxi saw Lin Zhentang off, and Gao Jin shook hands with Zhang Hongbin and asked Zhang Hongbin to come aside to drink tea and chat.
"The mayor is here, I don't know if you have any advice." Gao Jin said with a smile, which made Zhang Hongbin smile and shake his head. After dealing with each other many times, the two of them talked more and more casually.
"good thing"
"Take a look," Zhang Hongbin said, taking out a red invitation from his briefcase and handing it to Gao Jin.
Gao Jin took it and started to read it. After reading it, his energy level dropped a lot. He was obviously not interested in this invitation. Zhang Hongbin on the side saw it clearly.
"Mayor, just promote this forum for me, I don't have time," Gao Jin said as he put down the invitation.
This is an entrepreneur forum held by Shanghai Municipality. Well-known domestic entrepreneurs are invited to participate in the forum to discuss the current economic environment.
The government will listen to opinions from all parties and use them as a reference for further policy adjustments.
"I know you're low-key, but it's not okay if you're too low-key."
"The level of this forum is still very high. Senior officials from Shanghai, Shanghai, Jinwei and Shancheng will all be present."
"Companies with assets of less than 500 million are not eligible to participate. Those who are qualified to speak are all leading companies in various industries with assets of more than 10 billion."
"Entrepreneurs with a non-performing asset rate below 10% and broad development prospects"
"At present, all the entrepreneurs who are popular in China will participate. It is a rare opportunity. It would be a pity for you to give up."
Zhang Hongbin persuaded from the side, but Gao Jin didn't listen at all. Whether his company planned to go public or not, he really didn't have much interest in these matters.
"I'm not interested. If I have this time, I might as well sleep at home."
Gao Jin told the truth that it was not a good thing to participate in the forum. If he said something wrong, it would cause a disturbance.
In order to avoid trouble, it is better to stay away from these circles of right and wrong.
"Don't be disinterested. There are many benefits to participating in this forum and speaking. You can get extra points when your company goes public in the future." Zhang Hongbin looked at Gao Jinda and said meaningfully.
"forget it"
"I don't plan to list the company under my name. No branch of Xingling Group is allowed to go public. Even if it is sold, I will not go public."
Gao Jin expressed his opinion very clearly. Big A basically knows all the situations and well-run private companies will not go public.
Taking Guizhou Laoganma as an example, the market valuation is 9 billion. Once listed, the market value will easily exceed 300 billion.
Retail investors cannot make money, and 90% of the money is made by those financial companies, leaving a big hole that can only be filled by retail investors.
When the time comes, retail investors will only be able to criticize the old lady.
This is also one of the reasons why the old lady has always disagreed with the listing.
"Isn't it good to go public to obtain corporate development funds?" Zhang Hongbin looked at Gao Jin and said this with doubts.
"not good"
"Money is not so easy to come by. After a company goes public, it will face multiple supervisions. Whatever it does must be disclosed and announced in advance...etc."
"I've spent all my energy dealing with these crappy things, I don't have that time to waste."
"Besides, I don't lack the money in the stock market, so there is no need to put a few sets of shackles on myself."
Gao Jin told the truth, this was indeed what Gao Jin felt. He was supervised by this and that every day, and asked to explain this and that every day.
No matter what happens, everything must be disclosed, and if you fail to do so, you will be fined. Gao Jin does not want to experience this kind of trouble.
Zhang Hongbin curled his lips, and for a moment he didn't know how to persuade Gao Jin. Domestic companies wanted to go public all the time, so they came to Gao Jin.
Even if you beg, it won't go public.
"If it doesn't go public, it won't go public. However, you must participate in this forum!"
Zhang Hongbin looked at Gao Jin and said this with a serious expression.
Xingling Group is not an ordinary company. It has become very popular in the past two years, especially the acquisition of one company in one day and more than 20 companies in one go.
Although many of its companies are still losing money, this loss is temporary. As production continues to increase, profitability is not a problem at all.
There is also the Rocket Bear food delivery platform. The valuation given by the outside world has exceeded 120 billion US dollars. As soon as the commission is adjusted next month or the month after that, it will immediately enter a profit state.
There is also the film and television entertainment industry. Now the Starlight series companies have formed a complete ecosystem, including TV stations, film and television companies, film and television websites, literary websites, theaters, and one-stop channels.
His influence in the entertainment industry is huge.
Calculating the total number of employees of Xingling Group, there are more than 10,000 direct employees, and even more people indirectly working with various branches of Xingling Group.
Shengguang Solar Energy Company is already on the road to becoming the world's number one photovoltaic company, and will definitely become a clean energy giant in the future.
Harvest Agriculture Company is definitely the future domestic agricultural giant. On this point, relevant departments have formed a unified opinion.
Generally speaking, Xingling Group's invisible strength is very strong. It will make people think that such a giant does not participate in corporate forums.
It will even lower the level of the forum by several notches.
The level of the forum is not determined by how many big names participate, but by the strength of the participating companies.
This forum in Shanghai is determined to be the highest-level forum in the cabinet. Every entrepreneur participating is worth a fortune, not to mention there are several real national-level bosses participating.
In previous years, it was just a group of Internet giants. This year, it must be changed. It can also be regarded as sending a signal to the domestic economic circle. What the country needs is for a hundred flowers to bloom.
The Internet is only a part of the country's comprehensive industries, and other industries are equally important. We must increase support for industries other than the Internet.
"Boss, I have to go abroad to meet my girlfriend next month and spend the vacation with her. I really don't have time."
Gao Jin started to talk nonsense and really didn't want to participate in the forum. A rich fifth generation like himself would easily cause trouble.
