The enthusiasm brought by Guofeng Studio to recruit new people was not stopped by the continuous rainy weather in Yangcheng.
Amid the clamor on the Internet that "products produced in Chinese style must be high-quality products", many young men came to Silver Gray Building for interviews for their various dreams.
In such an atmosphere, Wen Liang also concentrated on internal interviews.
At the end of last month, he announced at the all-hands meeting that the company's corporate development and corporate strategy department would give priority to internal employees of the company. Those who are interested can submit applications directly to him on the internal chat software.
Since July, one after another employees who want to challenge themselves have submitted applications.
The situation happened to be developing as expected and there were no other important matters, so Wen Liang took time to interview some internal employees.
The two departments of corporate development and corporate strategy are oriented to Bolang as a whole, including its subsidiaries.
Among the 2,000 employees who have joined the company through recruitment, there are naturally those who meet the job requirements.
At least, Wen Liang will be patient with every confident employee who walks into the general manager's office and listens to their talk.
We will also ask some questions from unusual angles as appropriate.
For example, the current 22-year-old Lin Guo, a recent graduate from Puben University, has only been employed for a few days.
It is obvious that Lin Guo’s current understanding of the company is very limited and he has very little contact with matters.
Wen Liang looked at Lin Guo and asked, "What stage do you think Bolang is at now?"
"Bottleneck transformation period." Lin Guo opened his mouth and finally gave the answer directly.
Seeing Wen Liang indicating that he would share his opinion, Lin Guo said frankly: "Although the company is in the start-up stage, and based on the information I learned through the Internet, various businesses are still in a booming stage, but I think the company has actually reached a bottleneck in transformation.
Expect."
"Xiao Cheng Shu's business model is very well designed, which makes the company's development of mobile game business very smooth. The transition to communication and social networking is almost seamless, and the same is true for other businesses."
"But I think Xiaocheng Book has reached a bottleneck in the domestic market, and other businesses are restricted by the environment and other aspects. If we want to continue to grow at a high speed, we obviously need to transform."
Seeing that Wen Liang had no intention of interrupting, Lin Guo expressed his own solution: "In my personal opinion, the direction of transformation should be to find a mobile entrance."
"Of course I'm just talking in general terms."
Wen Liang was noncommittal and just said: "It's rare to have interest and confidence when you first join a company. Let's try out for an internship in the company's strategy department."
Lin Guo was indeed speaking in general terms.
There are many things to consider during the implementation of a plan, and a lot of energy is invested.
Results-oriented theory makes everything easy, of course.
What is actually difficult is the process.
Just like Wen Liang's layout in various aspects, sometimes even people like Wang Wanyu who have provided financial consulting for many large companies on Deloitte's platform don't quite understand.
For example, the arrangements made for Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng at the beginning of the year can now be seen as signs of "that's how it is."
There is nothing more secure than entering through mobile devices as the entrance to the development of mobile Internet.
As for Wen Liang's radical exchange with Lao Litou not long ago, it will take longer to see the signs, and it will be even more difficult to understand.
However, there are always bottlenecks in the development of a company, and most of the time preparations should start when development is smoothest.
Only in this way can we maintain growth and development and avoid a reduction in the income of all employees, a decline in cohesion and eventual bankruptcy.
Overall, Wen Liang's plan for Bolang is actually more selfish than public.
Besides, since Wen Liang has enjoyed the wealth created by the times, he should of course repay the society. Otherwise, how are he any different from the capitalists he hated in his previous life?
Moreover, Wen Liang is not like most people who hate him just because he has not become a capitalist...
Of course, Bolang's corporate strategy department needs a few people who can talk in general terms, because it may not be unrealistic.
In addition, in this round of centralized interviews, Wen Liang asked almost every employee about their work experience.
Whether he was coy or outspoken, Wen Liang made the necessary records.
…………
On Friday, the 27th, after heavy rain and showers, it was cloudy again in Yangcheng.
The temperature dropped a few degrees, and there was less of a heat wave.
Wen Liang completed the centralized interview with all employees within the company who wanted to be transferred to the company's strategy and corporate development department.
The two departments have recruited a total of 12 people, 9 of which are internship positions.
The internship position means that the position in the original department will be retained and the salary will still be paid. After a period of time, if you are not qualified and transferred back to the original position, if you are qualified, the human resources will renegotiate the salary.
Wen Liang also breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the last employee who came for the interview walk out of the office.
When I put on the tea cup, my expression became more relaxed.
However, the good times did not last long. The arrival of Tang Pu, an "uninvited guest", interrupted Mr. Wen's enjoyment.
Sitting down at the desk, Tang Pu said cheerfully: "I have been interviewing some good game developers in the past two days. The launch of Guofeng Studio this time and recruiting new people has been really good."
"Now we have basically finalized 40 game development programmers."
"At least the development resources for games will become easier and easier."
After hearing Tang Pu say this happily, Wen Liang showed a satisfied smile: "That's not bad. It will be great if we can continue to expand so steadily in the future."
Hearing this, Tang Pu suddenly felt a little emotional: "I used to think that renting the fifth floor of IFC was a bit exaggerated. Now including the fresh graduates who have not yet joined the company, the company's size is not far from 3,000 people."
"The office area will soon be insufficient. It seems that the planning of the headquarters building is a bit late now."
Wen Liang smiled when he heard this: "It has always been reasonable to go ahead with food and fodder before troops and horses are used. It has been good to be able to reach this point now."
Tang Pu was convinced: "That's true."
Turning to the main business: "In the past two days, Mr. Ren from White Goose has been calling me from time to time. We are very sincere, but they can't stand it. They said that they are preparing some big moves today."
He added: "But compared with White Goose, our foundation is still too weak."
Wen Liang said in a gentle tone: "We also have our advantages. We have always been a development-led development model. We are very strong in controlling product power, and no one can cover everything."
"That's true." Tang Pu smiled, "I've been surfing too much online these days, and I'm a little impatient."
Later, Tang Pu made a small arrangement.
It is planned to increase efforts in some aspects to promote the popularity of the industry, and at the same time control the residual temperature of the heat at the appropriate time.
This time it’s very complete, and Wen Liang doesn’t have much to add.

…………
Almost at the same time, at Bai Goose, Ren Yuxin was presiding over the game affairs meeting under the interactive entertainment business group.
There were many attendees.
All are familiar faces.
There were the middle-aged men who were planning to lead the team to Yangcheng to discuss cooperation with Bo Lang, the young people from Tianmeiyiyou, and the middle-aged men in charge of mobile games.
The atmosphere of this meeting was relatively relaxed.
After all, Bai Goose and Bolang now have some tacit cooperation and understanding on some matters, which can be regarded as an alliance rather than the previous hostile state.
"Bolang's actions are not small. They disclosed Guofeng Studio, recruited people, and promoted high-quality new games, which firmly occupied the focus of public opinion."
"Yes, the development strength of Guofeng Studio is much stronger than what the outside world expected. Now all the voices on the Internet are saying that "Guofeng products must be high-quality products". There is a lot of spontaneity here."
"The word-of-mouth effect is indeed their advantage."
"However, we still have a relatively rich foundation and can easily come up with equivalent resources."
"..."
Listening to everyone's loose discussion, Ren Yuxin also interjected: "Don't underestimate Bolang. Past and present facts have shown many problems. There is also a lot of tacit understanding between the company's senior management and President Bolang Wen."
"Martin also mentioned to me that Mr. Wen is very good at considering the consensus of interests when doing things, but he does not suffer any disadvantages. This aspect is also the key point that needs to be paid attention to."
Although Ren Yuxin has never dealt with Wen Liang directly, he is not stupid. How can a person who can easily help multiple parties achieve their interests be so simple?
Age means nothing to this kind of person.
Not only that, Ren Yuxin knew more. He knew that the purpose this time was not superficial benefits, but relatively long-term benefits.
Liu Chiping also mentioned the key points to him, especially the perspective of gentleness and the perspective of everyone's common interests.
White Goose is very big, but it will not make any trouble in this multi-party consensus of interests.
Then it is not a matter of interests being damaged, but a direct collapse of the basis for cooperation.
After half an hour of idle discussion, we came up with a relatively complete framework.
"We in the mobile game business believe that we can make such an attempt, taking Tianmei Yiyou as the main body, merging Linlang and Wolong, and upgrading to Tianmei Studio Group."
“Integrate all R&D resources into one.”
"..."
Some people on the other side objected: "Isn't this a bit unfair to Linlang and Wolong?"
"..."
The middle-aged man in charge of the mobile game business still clearly supports the young people of Tianmeiyiyou.
It is proposed that the merger be led by Tianmei Yiyou.
But obviously there are also different opinions.
Of course there are internal interests here.
The reason why we were so anxious to end the mobile game business of Bolang last time was because we wanted to consolidate resources.
This is a rehash of old things.
This is also a no-brainer. A large company is actually a small society. The young man in charge of Tianmei Yiyu made too much noise due to Bolang's counterattack and suffered a lot.
The benefits promised to the middle-aged man were not fulfilled.
If it fails to happen this time, it will be difficult to lead the team after the merger.
As for Linlang and Wolong, there has never been any commitment in this regard, so there is no such influence. Besides, everyone is close to each other.
"Tianmei's name sounds better."
“It’s also convenient to promote the daily series.”
"Besides, Xiao Hong's level is pretty good."
The middle-aged man gave three reasons.
The general direction was finalized. Although Ren Yuxin knew that there were some benefits, he took a quick look and saw that the opposition was not strong. He didn't want to get too entangled in such small internal details, so he made a decision directly: "In this case, then
Let’s do it this way, and make it public with a bigger fanfare.”
"clear!"
After all, Ren Yuxin is also the COO of the group, and has a lot of authority. His nod is a sure thing.
…
July 27, 2012.
Through various official channels, including the official WeChat public account, White Goose also disclosed the merger of its self-developed game studios under the interactive entertainment business group.
Two well-made mobile games were launched simultaneously.
"Everyday Cuteness" and "Everyday Cool Running"
The news itself was quite exciting, and White Goose also created a momentum, which naturally quickly swept the cyberspace and triggered heated discussions -
