Chapter 217 Sitting and watching the clouds rise and fall
August 2nd is the 15th day of the sixth lunar month. The weather is sunny and suitable for travel.
Wen Liang did not go to the company that day.
This ended his process of commuting to and from get off work on time for many consecutive days.
In the morning, Wen Liang took Li Rang and walked out of the community, passed through several buildings, and then crossed Huacheng Square to the IFC in the west.
Walking into the interior from the entrance of the office area, the 13.5-meter-high lobby is indeed a bit majestic.
Wen Liang looked up for a few times and then looked away. Wan An and Li Xia, who had been waiting here in advance, had already arrived.
After passing the access control at the entrance of the office area, you come to the elevator room and take the high-speed elevator all the way to the 61st floor - Bolang selected the highest 5-story office area with the optional range, from 61st to 65th floor.
When you exit the elevator, you can see Bolang's logo on the left and right.
This floor is where Bolang's front desk area is arranged.
The front desk reception area is designed to be very spacious. The distance between the background wall and the door is 9 meters. On the wall, the two Chinese characters "Bolang" are embedded in a blue wave.
A front desk that also incorporates ocean wave design elements.
Two sets of small sofas.
There is no such thing as a pantry on the left and right sides.
After passing the front desk and walking inside, there is an unobstructed space where you can directly see the supporting columns of the building.
This entire area is only dotted with a few reception rooms and some necessary small office areas. In addition, all areas are divided in an open manner for the five departments of human resources, internal services, internal audit, legal affairs, and public affairs.
There is no reception area on the other 4 floors.
The 62nd floor is allocated to two subsidiaries of Bolang Xiaocheng and Huipai.
The 63rd floor is allocated to the group's R&D department with the largest number of personnel, as well as the Bolang laboratory.
The 64th floor is allocated to three departments: Finance, E-commerce Department, and Game and Platform Department.
The 65th floor is for the company strategy and enterprise development departments. The other areas are used as conference rooms, 5 deputy general-level offices, and 1 general manager office.
Overall, the 65th floor has the loosest design, with only 99 open workstations designed.
Each floor of 61~64 can accommodate more than 700 people on average.
Because all internal meeting rooms are placed on the 65th floor, these four floors almost only have separate office areas such as tea rooms, bathrooms, and afternoon tea spaces. In addition, they are all open offices, which look relatively relaxed.
Li Xia and Wan An accompanied Wen Liang to visit the office areas on several floors, all the way to the 65th floor.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Chen Jiaxin, Li Ze, Tang Pu, Sun Baoyin, Li Bowen and all the co-founders including Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng standing next to the pillar and looking out the window.
So, Li Xia and Wan An wisely left the 65th floor.
………
Hearing the sound, everyone turned around. Wang Zhiyi pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a loud voice: "Hey, Xiao Rang is here too. Are you tired from climbing so high?"
Although, Li Rang still shook his head and responded.
Speaking of which, Xiao Wang's melancholy is reflected in every detail. He always wears spectacle frames without spectacle lenses.
Now the frame on the nose costs more than 600,000 yuan, and there are two other styles, which cost more than one million yuan in total.
The clothes all have no logos and look like street stalls, but a set costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
In comparison, Zhao Mingjie, who is flamboyant by nature, prefers styles from big brands that are easier to recognize, of course, not ones with logos all over the body.
Just by wearing this item, it is actually in line with their salary and income level. At the end of June, all employees received a 20% salary increase, and the internal ranking system was sorted out. The lowest salary among the co-founders reached 800,000 annual salary.
Food and transportation are provided by the company.
As for those who want to buy a car, that's an exception. They don't have this need for the time being.
The accommodation was decided as early as last year. If you want to buy it, you have to wait. The company doesn't make enough money. Since Wenliang bought Huiyue Terrace, everyone's situation has opened up.
Even Wang Wanyu, who now has tens of millions in her pocket, has changed her goals.
So, in fact, everyone's life was quite prosperous.
Everyone can't help but have to ask Li Rang for a while.
So, Li Rang stood next to her mother, Wang Wanyu, not to play with these weird brothers.
Looking at the clear sky outside the window, everyone chatted.
"Standing high, the scenery you see is completely different."
"It's a pity that our own headquarters building is only half the height of this one."
"The main thing is to build a headquarters building that is too tall, and the cost and maintenance cost are very high."
"Haha, it's okay to think about it. If one day the company has too much money to spend, it can build a small town."
"That's right!"
Later, Chen Jiaxin brought the topic to Wen Liang: "It's a pity today that it interrupted Mr. Wen's record of the longest continuous on-time commute in history. It is estimated that it will be difficult to have such a long time in the future."
Next to him, Li Ze started cheering: "Let me do the math. It started on the 23rd of last month, and today is the 9th working day. Damn it, it's quite long. I actually got to and from get off work on time for 8 consecutive working days!"
Wen Liang looked around and said with a deliberately disdainful look: "I guess even Wan Mi won't pay attention to this matter. It seems that you are really idle!"
"We've also paid attention!" The voices of Tang Pu, Li Bowen, Sun Baoyin, Wang Zhiyi, and Zhao Mingjie sounded almost at the same time.
Wen Liang: "..."
grass!
Backstabbed!
…………
After a lively chat for a while, everyone walked into Wen Liang's general manager's office.
Pushing open the double door, Chen Jiaxin turned sideways and made a gesture: "How about it, is this time worthy of your status as the boss of Bolang?"
The general manager's office occupies about 12% of the area on this floor, up to 399 square meters, and the other five deputy general-level offices are at most 200 square meters.
The design utilizes every space.
There is an indoor lawn-style golf driving range between the two pillars. After getting tired of heating, you can put two shots while looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
There is a fish tank just right in one corner.
A set of large guest sofas.
It seems that the area is far less exaggerated than 399 square meters. In fact, there is an invisible door on the side of the wall behind the desk near the column that leads to the lounge, which is equipped with a bathroom, a small gym, a desk, a rest bed, etc.
After all, it is a solid space of 399, which is more than three times larger than Wen Liang’s current home, and there are too many things that can be accommodated.
Wen Liang nodded with satisfaction and joked with a smile: "Not bad, the quality is quite high, it has the taste of a capitalist."
This office is really well designed.
It has everything that should be there, but nothing that shouldn't be there - for example, there is no secretary's room, and Wan'an's workstation is located in the most conspicuous place outside the door as usual.
…………
…………
Wen Liang looked left and right, and finally walked behind the desk and sat down. It was an ergonomic chair worth more than RMB 100,000, which was quite comfortable.
Touching the table, Wen Liang was about to speak when Li Ze suddenly took out his cell phone and answered a call, followed by Tang Pu.
Both ended the call quickly.
"The Internet is very lively today."
"Many industry leaders came out to comment. They were present in various industries, including several relevant persons in charge of domestic mobile phone manufacturers."
Li Ze and Tang Pu finished the matter in one sentence each.
Wen Liang had an idea as soon as his eyes changed. He took out his cell phone and flipped through it: "I have to have a phone call with Mr. Liu."
Then he dialed Liu Chiping's phone number.
As soon as the call was connected, Wen Liang came directly and asked: "Mr. Liu, why are you joining forces with us again to engage in Bolang? It is so exciting for the mobile game industry. Now everyone who works on mobile phones has to come and have a hand. It's a bit
It doesn’t make sense.”
Liu Chiping was actually very confused. A few days ago, his predecessor Yu Xin mentioned some concerns. He also wanted to find a chance to chat with Wen Liang, but he didn't even talk about it, but the situation became a lot more complicated.
However, Liu Chiping quickly answered with a smile: "Mr. Wen has misunderstood. This time we set up a stage, and all parties are really on stage!"
Of course Wen Liangzhong knew that the fate of mobile phone manufacturers was not caused by Liu Chiping. This was an uncontrolled, unexpected and reasonable situation.
To put it bluntly, the word is still profit.
For mobile games, you must first have a mobile phone. The current unusual popularity has made many people smell the opportunity, especially domestic mobile phone manufacturers.
So, Wen Liang sighed in a dignified manner: "It's our narrow-minded thinking. We can't blame others. But it's good to have a bigger voice and be more confident in communicating with all parties."
"That's right." Liu Chiping agreed, "I think we will go to Beijing in the next two days to contact the operators with Mr. Zhang and others."
Wen Liang readily agreed: "The sooner the better."
After reaching an agreement on the official business, Liu Chiping took this opportunity to make a few innuendoes: "Mr. Wen, your investment in the game business is not small."
"It's not much actually." Wen Liang knew what Liu Chiping meant, "We just earn some money to support our family."
Liu Chiping also understood what Wen Liang meant.
Four words.
win-win.
As for what kind of cooperation method it will take, it depends on development.
In other words, Ren Yuxin's worries are actually real, but they can also be considered not to exist.
Because the direction of Bolang and the direction of White Goose are not very coincident.
Bolang takes a development-oriented development path of technology, industry and trade, while White Goose takes a trade, industry and technology route in the game industry. They don’t have many original games, and most of them are imitated after being agents.
So it’s win-win cooperation, not competition.
This phone call finalized the arrangements for flying to Beijing tomorrow morning, which happens to be Friday. Some things are not convenient to discuss during the working day, so we can postpone it to the weekend.
………
After ending the call, Wen Liang first looked at everyone sitting and standing in the office, then stood up and walked out of the desk, looking out the window.
After a while, Wen Liangcai said in a leisurely tone: "The strategic goal of stoking the mobile game industry, or to a certain extent, stoking the demand for mobile terminals, has been achieved far beyond expectations. We can now sit back and watch the clouds roll around."
"Domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also seen opportunities, but the more enthusiastic they are, the better it will be for us to develop our mobile phone business, because high-quality mobile games are developed by us, and our game tuning will naturally be better than theirs."
After saying that, Wen Liang turned back to look at Li Ze and said with a smile: "So, Aze, the pressure is on you now, and time is getting tighter and tighter!"
Li Ze doesn't care about this at all now. He has not been idle these days, but directly asked: "I want to know if the mobile phone manufacturers' proactive consequences are not what you expected."
Tang Pu added three words from the side: "What a coincidence!"
"No." Wen Liang replied calmly, "But this is a reasonable thing, but we all subconsciously ignored it."
Wang Wanyu rarely interjected: "Actually, it doesn't matter. After all, Mr. Wen has always been able to handle things with ease. Regardless of accidents or emergencies, he can always find the part that is beneficial to us and develop it. This is enough."
Wen Liang laughed when he heard it, and said loudly: "Did you hear that, Wang always praises people."
Then he spoke slowly: "If you have time, go through the 2015 Vision Outline at the beginning of the year."
"Every plan that is being implemented now is not just a separate dream pursuit, nor is it just a slap in the face. It has its real meaning. Every step is building an ecosystem."
"Take the current mobile game business as an example. Previously, I had been holding back on not letting the completed games go online, but waited until Lao Zhang's research became clear before letting go."
"There will be no meaningless arrangements, and there will be no leap-forward development. If you care about the present sometimes, just read the outline."
"Remember to praise me for being awesome."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zheng took over the conversation first and said seriously: "I think it's better to just praise you for your awesomeness now."
