Chapter 1263 The person who knows the opponent best
Monday, October 22nd.
Eric and Zhao Xuming came to Jingzhou last Wednesday. In the blink of an eye, three working days passed.
Today is the first week that Eric and Zhao Xuming took over the operation of GOG.
The entire handover process was much faster than Eric and Zhao Xuming had imagined. It even gave them the illusion that it was not ready yet. Why did Min Jingchao leave?
If we follow the work handover process of ordinary companies, such as Longyu Group, why should such an important job be handed over for a month or two, right?
At the very least, two or three weeks is necessary, right?
You know, GOG is currently Tenda's most profitable project with the most players. Even after defeating ioi in the future, it is very likely to become the game with the most players in the world.
Because the current number of players in GOG and ioi combined, this goal has been achieved. Once ioi collapses, most of the players will be eaten by GOG.
Why did Mr. Pei hand over such an important project so hastily?
Three days last week were used for handover. The whole process was arranged a bit too tightly. The main matters are divided into the following points:
Split the operational work of GOG, with the domestic and foreign parts handed over to Zhao Xuming and Eric respectively;
Introduce the daily work of operations to the two people, as well as the principles for handling some special situations;
Introduce the main business of each key member within the project to facilitate future task arrangement and work docking;
In addition to introducing the project, it mainly focused on the work content of Zhang Yuan and the e-sports division and the corresponding core business leaders to facilitate future linkage and cooperation;
The relocation plan of the entire GOG department has been decided. All GOG-related R&D and operation personnel will be moved to a new floor. When the Tenda headquarters building is completed in the future, there will be an exclusive area.
As for the workstations vacated after the move, except for Min Jingchao’s workstation which will be permanently retained as a “grave” like the workstations of other responsible persons, they will all be transferred to the R&D department of Tenda Game Department to recruit new people.
Having arranged so many things in just three days made both Eric and Zhao Xuming a little confused.
They just followed Min Jingchao's notes and managed to figure out the current operation mode of the entire GOG project team. To say that they are proficient in these tasks... it is impossible.
Who can master it in such a short time?
Eric and Zhao Xuming were both a little panicked and wanted Min Jingchao to teach them for a few more days, but Mr. Pei was very urgent.
This is inevitable, because Pei Qian doesn't want Min Jingchao to tell these two people too much...
If these two people really copied Min Jingchao's working model 1:1, then what's the point of Pei Qian going to such great lengths to poach them?
In short, Min Jingchao quickly explained all the work within these three days, completed the handover, and then left.
Only Eric and Zhao Xuming were left sitting at their workstations in confusion, having a good experience of what "speed" means.
At this time, two people were sitting at the workstation and had just made arrangements for moving the workstation.
At the end of this week, the entire GOG-related R&D and operations staff will move to the 22nd floor of the Shenhua Luxury Building. Considering the possible expansion of the number of people in the future, the 23rd floor has also been reserved in advance.
Anyway, based on Tengda's current expansion rate, there is not much difference between renting an extra floor and renting one less floor when renting a workspace. It doesn't matter if you pay an extra month's rent. It won't take long for the space to be filled with people.
After settling down the moving work station, Eric and Zhao Xuming finally found the opportunity to sit down and talk about the work here.
Zhao Xuming sighed: "The difference in the work process is too big!"
"GOG is all about the person in charge. Many tasks are all done by Min Jingchao when he comes up with an idea. There is no need to hold meetings to demonstrate, or to experiment and explore. In many cases, there is no need to report to Mr. Pei, and it is arranged directly.
!”
"The key is that Mr. Pei doesn't seem to care at all. He will only come over to give advice on rare occasions, but it's just to ask for a special event."
"This is too trivial...well, it's too efficient."
Zhao Xuming originally wanted to say "small workshop", but then he thought something was wrong. Although this feeling was indeed quite small workshop, he had been beaten by the small workshop model in the past year, so it was too much to think about it.
Shameful.
The working model at Tenda Group is in sharp contrast to when he was at Longyu Group.
If you want to do an operational activity there, you must first report the proposal to the senior management, and then communicate with the development team. If it is a game from a foreign company like ioi, which is an agent, you must also communicate across borders.
Each level has some opinions, and the entire plan will need to be revised three or four times at least, and in the end it may be directly rejected by the company that refers to it.
Because many operational activities require the development of functions within the game, and Longyu Group cannot tamper with the client, it must obtain the permission of Zhidou Company in advance.
This time, it is very difficult to start a new activity. Basically, more than half of the time is spent running various processes.
But it’s different here at GOG. Whatever activities you want to do, the person in charge can make it happen!
Previously, Zhao Xuming thought that the heads of various departments in Tenda were Mr. Pei's puppets, and they would do whatever Mr. Pei asked them to do.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all!
When Mr. Pei has needs, they are indeed puppets, but this situation is actually not common in daily work. Sometimes Mr. Pei makes two or three demands a month, and sometimes there is no demand for half a year.
When there is no demand, it is completely up to the person in charge to take care of it!
Some activities targeting ioi were not Mr. Pei’s idea at all, they were all Min Jingchao’s own ideas.
Of course, both models have their pros and cons.
Although the efficiency of a model like the Longyu Group is very low, its biggest advantage is that it is less likely to make fatal mistakes, and no one needs to take the blame if something goes wrong. After all, it has been reviewed at all levels.
In other words, the goal is not to do things best, but to do them least badly.
But if something goes wrong with Tengda’s model, it will be a big problem and the person in charge will take full responsibility.
In other words, the courage required is much greater than that of Longyu Group.
The biggest advantage of this model is that it is highly efficient and the plan will not be changed randomly!
As long as the person in charge thinks it is something that must be done, he can quickly concentrate the efforts of the entire department to do his best.
Zhao Xuming couldn't help but sigh, it's no wonder that when ioi and GOG compete in activities, they are always beaten to the ground.
In the world of martial arts, only speed is unbeatable!
While Longyu Group's ioi is still going through the process, GOG's activities have already been prepared. People are just waiting for work. This efficiency and speed are completely different concepts!
Eric nodded: "Indeed, Tenda's structure can maximize the personal capabilities of the person in charge, and it can often produce miraculous results when dealing with some companies that have 'big company diseases'."
"We are currently at the stage where GOG and ioi are in close contact. It is no wonder that such a structure can be used to its disadvantages."
Zhao Xuming complained: "That's true, but shouldn't we be given more time for handover?"
"The person in charge has to bear such a heavy responsibility, but the handover was completed in three days. Isn't this waiting for us to make mistakes?"
As a person who habitually shirks blame and is cautious by nature, Zhao Xuming keenly feels the heavy burden on his shoulders.
A big black pot seems to be hanging above his head at any time. If he is not careful, he will pull it down and hold him tightly.
This made him feel very dangerous.
Eric shook his head: "I think Mr. Pei definitely didn't mean this by arranging this."
Zhao Xuming was stunned: "Huh? What does that mean?"
Eric sighed: "If you look at your opponent's behavior from another angle, you can often see more."
When he first came to be the person in charge of ioi, he had not yet partnered with Zhao Xuming and fought against Tengda alone. As a result, he was quickly beaten to pieces.
Later, he began to consciously study Tengda, a unique company, and Mr. Pei's strategies in business wars.
Gradually, I gained a little bit.
But no matter how hard he studies, there are still many things that cannot be seen from the outside.
Therefore, although I have some knowledge of the situation, I still have only a partial understanding of it, and many times I will draw specious conclusions.
But now that he came inside Tenda and really came into contact with the core architecture, Eric suddenly understood many things that he had not understood before.
Eric continued: "I have been thinking, why on earth did Mr. Pei poach the two of us? Moreover, he seems to be willing to pay a certain price."
"This seems a little unreasonable, because GOG has been winning, and Min Jingchao, as the person in charge, has arranged all the work in an orderly manner. What's the point of splitting his work if the two of us lose?"
"It can't be because you don't like him, right?"
"What boss wouldn't like an employee who doesn't have too many problems, does his job perfectly, and has strong subjective initiative?"
"Now, I probably understand."
"On the one hand, it's because the people in charge of Tengda will soon be rotated to more important areas to expand their territory after being trained. Min Jingchao has almost met President Pei's requirements;"
"On the other hand, it is because after GOG reaches a certain stage of development, the two of us together can play a greater role than Min Jingchao. The two of us have our own advantages."
Zhao Xuming suddenly nodded: "Well... indeed, this should be the only possibility."
In order to poach him, Mr. Pei even gave him a game idea, which is enough to show that he has some qualities that Mr. Pei likes.
It's just that Zhao Xuming hasn't figured it out yet.
Eric continued: "In terms of game design, we are definitely far inferior to Min Jingchao, but fortunately, we don't need to worry about GOG version updates. Naturally, designers from the original project team have been promoted and will continue to be responsible for the new version.
