Originally it was just a rumor heard by a few people.
But as time went by, the impact began to expand, which made the people of Yaoshi Software, an eBay subsidiary, feel excited.
Because it's unfortunate.
Lin Yao was right.
It was the archrival Tianhu who acquired eBay.
Because they are mortal enemies.
This makes rumors gradually turn into rumors.
Some people are talking about laying off employees because Tianhu has no shortage of people, and some are talking about shutting down Yaoshi Software completely. Then the topic of whether there will be compensation for the layoffs arises.
In short, in this environment, most people become distracted when working.
The mythical beast system that Lin Yao is preparing to launch has also been affected to some extent, mainly because the progress on the art side has been much slower.
Ms. Mu could solve the internal problems in the second development department, but Ms. Mu on the art side had no choice but to file a complaint.
Also in this environment.
The monthly meeting of the Yaoshi Software Development Technology Department was held on time.
It's still the same people, Chen Nuo is here too, only Kuang Zhi is missing.
When Mu Wanqing walked in, a group of directors arrived.
Compared to the outside.
In fact, the directors here are also a little worried, because the acquisition will have the greatest impact on them, and if they fail, they may not even be able to keep their position.
It's just that they don't show it so obviously compared to the outside.
And here.
The most anxious one...is Chen Nuo.
Because his father has a position on the board of directors, he knows more than most people.
The acquisition negotiations with eBay are now in the final stages.
If nothing unexpected happens, the entire eBay will soon change hands.
The acquirer is none other than eBay's old rival, Tianhu.
After the acquisition is completed, Tianhu will become the largest online game R&D and operation company in China!
That's when that time comes.
He will become very embarrassed.
Because Tianhu was pursuing a complete acquisition, the price offered by Tianhu from the board of directors was completely unacceptable to his father, a junior director. At that time, he lost the relationship with the board of directors, and was isolated and helpless at Yaoshi Software... No
Not to mention any achievements, if you still have the reputation of being a short-term director.
After Tianhu takes over, it will definitely not end well.
So he is really anxious now.
very worried about.
As soon as Mu Wanqing came in.
Chen Nuo just stared at her.
The expression is complex.
There is enthusiasm, expectation, and an indescribable feeling.
"Everyone is here, let's talk about something first. Please pay more attention and don't let the people below spread nonsense. If there is a result, a notice will be posted above."
Vice General Manager Li was sitting in the front seat, looking like an old god, and he mentioned the uproarious acquisition as soon as he came up.
"Mr. Li, is it really going to be acquired by Tianhu as rumored?"
The director of the first development department hesitated for a moment and asked.
Deputy General Manager Li nodded and gave the exact answer: "If nothing else happens, it should be... But you don't have to worry too much. Tianhu has promised that it will not interfere excessively with our operations and personnel changes.
It won’t be too big, most of them are changes in the senior management of the group.”
When Mu Wanqing heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Although the director of the first project was doubtful, he didn't say anything else.
"Unexpectedly... I have been fighting openly and secretly with Tianhu for so many years, but in the end I will become Tianhu's person."
among those present.
Apart from Deputy General Manager Li, who is in the first place, the second calmest person is Xu Yan from the Development Department 3.
Hearing what Deputy General Manager Li said, he said something with emotion.
"Who would have thought."
The director of the operations department also chimed in.
"Okay, don't spend too much time on this topic. Things haven't been settled yet. It's still too early to sigh. Work still needs to be done."
Vice General Manager Li interrupted the meaningless sighs of the two people: "Let me report this month's results first. Although it is said that the personnel changes below will not be too big, but if it is really too bad, who knows what Tianhu will do?
What will Bian do? After all, we were opponents before."
Vice General Manager Li said this as soon as he said it.
The director present immediately straightened his waist.
Then, there is the usual report.
It is the first one to develop one.
What's more funny is.
This time, the director of the first project did not sit down before finishing speaking. He also emphasized at the end the potential of the project in his hand and how much it had improved compared to last month.
A look like "I have contributed to Yaoshi Software"...
There is no way, after Tianhu acquired eBay.
The merger of the two largest online game companies in the country means that if you want to find the same or better job in the online game field and have prospects for promotion, you can only go to Tianhu.
There was still a choice before.
Now I don't even have a choice.
None of the directors present wanted to lose their current jobs, and no one thought it was embarrassing for the director who was developing a movie to do this. Everyone was out to make a living, which was not easy.
Next is the development of Part Three.
Xu Yan is a good example. After all, his projects have always been the best in the company.
Compared with him, the latter two departments are far behind.
at last.
Everyone looked at Mu Wanqing with curiosity in their eyes.
Especially the directors of development departments four and five.
Their idea is actually very simple.
If there is a department that is at the bottom, it is still very prominent at the bottom.
Then they won’t stand out so much…
but.
They thought about it again.
It feels wrong again.
Last month’s monthly meeting.
The test data of the turn-based online game developed in Part 2 was ridiculously good...
No way... He really came back to life, right?
Facing the eyes of several directors.
Mu Wanqing slowly stood up, picked up the information she had brought, and said with neither humility nor arrogance: "After the new version was launched, "Fantasy OL" has developed rapidly. Yesterday, the cumulative number of registered users exceeded 2 million, and the number of people online at the same time exceeded...
…350,000 people. In terms of revenue, it has not been a quarter since the new version was launched, so the sales revenue so far is around 90 million.”
"..."
Mu Wanqing reported a series of numbers.
Like a thunderous explosion.
All the directors present were stunned for an instant.
Although they know that the test data of the turn-based online game developed in the second part was ridiculously good last month, you can't... be that ridiculous, right?
What the hell?
“…How much online?? How much sales revenue???”
Xu Yan was the first to ask, and his voice changed.
No wonder he was so shocked.
Currently, the total number of online game users in the world is only over 13 million, of which only over 7 million are willing to pay. The over 10 million people here are the total users of the entire game market.
If you still can’t understand the meaning of 350,000 online users... let’s make it easy to understand. In the year 2002 on Earth, the most popular online game Legends had only 650,000 online users.
And now the leading turn-based online game, "Tianhu Travels", has only 380,000 online users at its peak.
You know, the average number of people online in online games here is only over two million... 350,000 out of over two million people.
Just one and a half months.
Directly creating the company's best data.
Is this some kind of black magic!?
"Three hundred and fifty thousand, about ninety million."
Mu Wanqing looked at Xu Yan and reported again out of courtesy: "This is not the limit. There is still room for growth in the number of registered and online people. I am very confident about this. To borrow the words of our chief planner Lin Yao, that is
As the scale of the online game market grows and the number of online game users increases, we will continue to open servers and accelerate the development of subsequent versions, so the maximum number of people online at the same time may reach one million."
