Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 538: Compassion does not command troops

Originally, there was an overseas masterpiece like World of Martial Arts. Although it suffered some losses in the game background, it is currently competing with World of Warcraft in the North American market with its advanced gameplay. It also has popular hits such as Glory of Heroes and Alliance of Gods.

In fact, Chen Hao doesn't have such big ideas about acquiring Blizzard.

But after hearing what Xu Pengkun said, he found that the timeline had changed.

Originally, according to the historical process, when Blizzard proposed independent control, Activision agreed to the other party's proposal after seeing the global explosion of World of Warcraft, thus completing the merger at the end of last year. Cowdick replaced McMohan as Activision Blizzard's new CEO. The leader of.

How can a bunch of game makers resist those who play with capital? In the following years, Caudick used various means to completely control Blizzard, which later led to its separation from NetEase.

But now things have changed, and the change comes from the martial arts world that he created, which makes Blizzard's bargaining chips smaller in the negotiations. Activision does not agree to the independent control of the other party, thus reaching a deadlock.

Um? Isn’t this acquisition opportunity coming?

"Two things. When you entered the stock market just now, you arranged for someone you trust to trade. We take the long term and don't play the short term."

"Second, you personally take the relevant personnel and go to the United States immediately. In the name of Century Interactive Entertainment's North American branch, enter the site to contact Blizzard. In principle, we can let go of control and ask for a quote."

Xu Pengkun said with a smile, "You mean, we just need to invest and pay dividends?"

"Of course it has a reputation, don't you think Blizzard of the Century is a cool thing?" Chen Hao smiled.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for MaMa to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Well, before this glutton like Caudick figures it out, let's strike first and strive for a quick victory and a beautiful blitzkrieg!"

Before leaving, Xu Pengkun remembered Fatty Ning's request and mentioned it casually,

"Ning Hao's Crazy Stone has won both box office and word-of-mouth. Two films have been made in the past two years. One film, Crazy Racing, was released this year. I also made another film, but it has been delayed for two years. It has been two years, and Ning Datou is worried. I think. Let me ask the boss if there is anything you can do?"

Chen Hao's heart moved, "What's the name of this film?"

"No Man's Land, a western road movie. Well, I watched the original version. It was interesting enough, but the scale is really big."

"What's the review opinion over there?"

"No opinion, nothing will come of it."

Chen Hao was not surprised. He was in the old style. After thinking about it,

"I'll ask someone to ask. I can't guarantee the result. I'll give you a letter when the time comes. How about Century Pictures?"

"In the past two years, I have been involved in some films one after another. I have made some profits and some losses. I think it is about the same."

"It doesn't matter, the main thing is to make the word "Century Pictures" deeply rooted in people's hearts. By the way, you should pay attention to directors in other fields, such as animation and martial arts, and see if there are any studios with potential that are worth cultivating but lack funds."

"Okay, why don't you give me some pointers and see if there are any good movies?"

"You guys just watch and invest. That's how the film industry has been in the past few years. There's no point in making small fuss. Wait a few years before you look at it."

"Okay, you can just keep fishing. I, a poor fellow, am going to work hard."

"De Xing, get out!"

After Xu Pengkun left, Chen Hao thought about communicating with Blizzard. If it happened, he would inevitably sign the contract in person.

I need to take advantage of this time to sort out some of my New Year’s ideas and then arrange them. I’m probably going to get busy again.

He also said that I am trying to catch fish, but I am very diligent, but I won’t talk about it until I finish watching this episode.

Chen Hao controlled the mouse and clicked to continue playing. He only heard a roar that shook the entire world,

"Salt and pepper are here~~~" I saw in the screen of the monitor, a person in mysterious clothes with tied hair and an immortal style. It was none other than [Lingxiao Shangqing Tong Lei Yuanyang Miaoyifei Xuanzhenjun Jiutian Hongjiu Puji Life Palm Yin and Yang Kung Fu] Crossing the Great Road, Siren Ziji Immortal Weng Yiyang Zhenren Yuanxu Xuanying enlightened subdues demons, loyal and filial emperor, Heavenly Great Luo Celestial Immortal Ziji Immortality Holy Wisdom Zhao Lingtong Yuanzheng Yingyuxu Master Zhang Wu Lei Da Zhenren Xuandu Realm Longevity Emperor】Da Ming Emperor Jiajing--Mr. Zhu Houcong.

a few days later.

Liu Yonghao, the boss of the group's human resources department, came over and knocked on the door of the boss's office.

A voice came from inside, "Come back to me in an hour!"

An hour later, Chen Hao finally finished the work at hand and saw the plan handed over by Liu Yonghao, the "Group Talent Structure Optimization Reform Draft."

Due to the stimulation from the annual meeting and some incentive programs, it directly caused a sensation in the professional circle, causing the workload of the human resources department to increase significantly after the beginning of the new year.

For this reason, the human resources side proposed an optimization plan specifically for this situation, and wanted the boss to confirm it.

In the plan, employees within the group are divided into four grades ABCD based on past work and performance.

Chen Hao looked at it and frowned, "Who made this evaluation? Your manpower?"

Seeing that his boss was a little dissatisfied, Liu Yonghao quickly explained, "How dare we overstep our bounds? These are multi-maintenance cross-evaluations conducted by leaders at all levels over the years. Professional people do professional things. The human resources side only conducts statistical induction and summary."

After saying "Yeah", Chen Hao continued to focus on the report.

Judging from past data, A-level employees are twice as efficient as other employees in procedural work, and more than 2 times as efficient in creative and innovative work.

The report shows that the group currently accounts for 27% of A-level employees, 42% of B-level employees, and the rest are CDs.

For this reason, if we want to achieve the effect of good money driving out bad money, we need to let CD evolve and increase the proportion of AB employees.

Otherwise, bad coins can only be eliminated, which means layoffs.

Chen Hao read the entire report and found that it was an advanced version of the previous Performance 361, and it was a customized version of Century Zongheng Group.

This is to build the entire group into an efficient team composed of top employees, allowing geniuses to attract geniuses, and then work efficiency and output will increase exponentially.

Qualities such as passion and sensibility are not suitable for the growth of technology companies.

Most of the group's technical positions require rationality, calmness, and concentration.

If an enterprise wants to become bigger and stronger, what it pays attention to is profit after all.

To achieve this effect, layoffs are the most direct and easiest way to reduce costs and increase efficiency. But layoffs are also a big question. What if a major artery is accidentally cut, the server goes down, and the group's business is affected?

The idea is good, but the whole plan is still too idealistic. It is a bit fanciful to want to increase the proportion of AB in the group to more than 1% within one year.

For this reason, Chen Hao extended the target to be completed within one year to three years, covering the scope from employees to management. After all, a raging army will lead to a raging nest.

On one side, the indicators were relaxed, and on the other side, they were tightened.

Chen Hao directly shortened the probation period for newcomers from the original 6 months to 1 month, and added a line of remarks that those who have potential but temporarily fail to meet the standards can also be promoted to regular employees.

Others who fail to meet the standards will be fired directly and will be compensated accordingly according to the provisions of the labor contract.

After all, Class D, Chen Hao felt that it was enough for him to be the only one in the group.
