Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 314: The Other Shore Qingtengyuan

"The news I've received so far is that several developers working with us have proposed to revise the revenue sharing ratio for Ancient War. Most of them say that there are too many players, and the server and operation costs are too high. They want to adjust the previous 55:73 ratio to :, which means % belongs to them!"

Zhou Shouzi laughed and said, "It seems that others think we have moved their cheese."

Chen Mo asked, "Does it include the Middle East?"

Li Jianchao replied, "No!"

"How is the progress of the distribution companies we have established in various overseas regions?"

"Companies in various regions have been registered and established, and the computer room is currently being built. It is expected to be completed by the end of July!"

"Anyway, we have a contract. If the other party plays tricks and doesn't want to pay, we'll see who will suffer the loss. We should follow our plan and speed up the backup deployment. Do you have any questions?"

"No more~"

"Next, Chen Tong!"

Chen Tong introduced the overall operation of the group at present, and then there are three key tasks in progress. The first is the formulation of a crisis public relations emergency response mechanism, and the second is that the London Olympics will be held next month. He also talked about the advertising placement that had been finalized before.

The Bi'an Group became one of the joint sponsors of the London Olympics.

During the Olympic publicity cycle, three products were selected for advertising. The first one was the Bi'an Group, which needed to leave a certain impression on people all over the world and enhance its brand and influence.

The second is the publicity and promotion of WeChat.

The last one is Ancient War, which is a global hit mobile game and also the first mobile game promotion plan to land at the Olympics.

Of course, the above-mentioned Olympic publicity and promotion costs are also calculated in billion US dollars. After all, the advertising costs for several popular events are not low.

The last item is the recruitment and establishment of overseas navy, which is a preparation for a rainy day.

After hearing this, Chen Mo gave a warning, "Set up a clean company to handle this matter and separate it from Bi'an."

Chen Tong nodded, indicating that he was a professional in this matter!

The last speaker was Zhou Shouzi, who introduced the group's overall revenue and investment situation, still maintaining Bi'an's style of putting conclusions first.

"The revenue of the Bi'an Group in the first half of the year totaled 45 billion US dollars, with a net profit of about 15 billion US dollars. According to this trend, it will be no problem for the group to achieve the revenue target of 300 billion set at the beginning of the year, and 500 billion can also be attempted!"

As soon as Zhou Shouzi started talking and brought out the numbers, he shocked the executives present who had experienced many big events.

They knew games could make money, but they didn’t expect it to be so profitable!

Chen Tong was especially shocked. Wow, he made more than a Sina Weibo account in one year.
Zhou Shouzi just paused for a moment and continued,

"The reason why the revenue in the first half of the year was so high was mainly due to the one-time sale of the Bi'an Mobile Assistant business for US$18 billion.

This resulted in record revenue of $30 billion in the second quarter.
On the other hand, considering the rapid development of the mobile game market at home and abroad, coupled with the continued popularity of "Ancient War" and other factors.

In terms of average monthly revenue, it increased by $1 million compared with the previous quarter, and the group's average monthly revenue is currently stable at around $5 million.
From the overall distribution point of view, overseas receivables account for as much as 60%. According to the current trend, the group's revenue for the whole year of 2012 will exceed 500 billion yuan, which does not include the mobile games released in August.
In terms of expenditure, a total of RMB 56 billion was spent in the first half of the year, including game promotion, manpower, servers and bandwidth, legal expenses, purchase of data center servers, payment for the second phase of the company's new site, infrastructure, employee family security benefits just implemented two days ago, and various acquisitions and investments in subsidiaries, such as Beyond Cloud Computing, AB Station, Douyu, Ele.me, and ByteDance.

Zhou Shouzi only gave a rough estimate of the expenditures so that the senior management would have some idea of ​​the overall financial situation of the group. The details would be sent to Chen Mo separately in the specific financial report for review.

"Finally, I have another question. I find that our group's current revenue is a bit single, coming entirely from gaming and entertainment. I suggest that we try to commercialize other businesses as well."

No one objected because everyone understood that what Zhou Shouzi said was indeed a problem.

Even though the Bi'an Group is now developing rapidly and making progress with each passing day, if the policy changes and a travel ban is issued, without the support of other businesses, Bi'an will face the risk of running out of money and having its capital chain broken.

After all, there are still many netizens in the market who are very parental and complain every day that being addicted to video games is harmful to physical and mental health. This is an old tune that can never be extinguished.

Some parents never look for the reasons in themselves. They turn a blind eye to the correct answer of family education guidance, as if their children will become good children who love to study without games. Unfortunately, they also need to report KTV, nightclubs, billiard halls, animation, novels. There are too many to report.
Sometimes, for the sake of stability, the authorities will introduce some policies to appease the people.

Chen Mo nodded, "Indeed, let's discuss the commercialization of our respective businesses."

In fact, Zhou Shouzi didn't mention it, but many business leaders had also made corresponding preparations. After nearly an hour of discussion, everyone finally determined the direction of their respective businesses.

Chen Mo’s idea has always been to make money from merchants and institutions instead of users.

First of all, in terms of games, although the Bi'an Mobile Assistant has been sold, there will be more and more mobile games and PC games in the future. Therefore, it will be better to have a unified game platform for management and downloading, just like Steam later, which has become a comprehensive game service platform integrating purchase, download, discussion, and review.

Named: GHome (Game Home)
On the WeChat side, Chen Mo directly rejected the proposal to add advertisements, believing that the user experience should not be affected for the sake of making money.

The final decision is to wait until the official account grows in scale and then make some contributions to it, such as selecting paid content on the official account.

Official accounts can also generate profits through data services. They can analyze and mine their accumulated user data, content data, etc., provide data services and customized solutions to enterprises or institutions, and obtain data service fees.

Once the mini program ecosystem is established, we can start to collect commissions from channels.

The most important point is that the funds in WeChat wallets have reached hundreds of billions, and the interest alone is a considerable income.

Since all the users on Zhiyan are IT practitioners, including many experts, it can provide paid reading of selected knowledge and paid Q&A with experts.

It is also possible to monetize through recruitment channels, such as member value-added services. Of course, it is not as ugly as some direct recruitment services, but mutual recommendations and checking of contact information are more beneficial to both supply and demand parties.

The last person is Xu Chaojun. This is the order Chen Mo deliberately arranged because the former will have something more important to announce.

Since the sale of the Bi'an Mobile Assistant for $18 billion, Xu Chaojun has been responsible for and led the entire transaction process. The sense of accomplishment brought by this project is unparalleled, and his spirit is at its peak.
".As of now, the Bi'an Mobile Assistant business has been completely transferred to Baidu. I only have two things left. The first is the development of the Kunlun Mirror enterprise-level security protection system and the preparation for the subsequent global hacker challenge. It is currently proceeding as planned. The system will be launched next month and the challenge will be launched at the end of the month.

The second thing is that the group will establish the Bi'an Qingteng Institute and the Bi'an Innovation and Research Institute."

Before Xu Chaojun finished speaking, except for a few people who knew the inside story, most people looked curious. They roughly knew what these two institutions did from their names.

Chen Mo took over the conversation after seeing this. "Let me briefly talk about this. It's a good opportunity to focus on this matter with everyone here."

Then he spent about 10 minutes talking about the Bi'an Qingtengyuan. This was the new task he gave to Xu Chaojun shortly after the Bi'an Mobile Assistant was traded.

A major problem currently facing the Bian Group is the contradiction between its rapidly expanding business and the current difficulty in recruiting staff.

The sources of new employees for Bi'an include campus recruitment, social recruitment and poaching, but the quality of the employees is mixed. Upon joining the company, they need to undergo a one-month training and anti-PUA brainwashing. Even so, there is still a shortage of supply.

This is similar to the current situation where it is difficult for companies to recruit employees, while on the other hand, college students have difficulty finding jobs.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to directly unify the entrance. Therefore, the group will build a targeted professional skills training college in Beijing, with the aim of cultivating manpower for the other side to be used for talent reserve and echelon construction.

The former can be understood as pre-employment training for new employees of Bia’an, while the latter provides a more professional environment for technical training for employees within the group.

This was also the original intention of Chen Mo to propose this plan. To put it bluntly, it was the same as the previous plan where university graduates were guaranteed jobs.

The only difference is that this academy provides end-to-end training, unlike university courses which are too disconnected from actual production.
Those graduates only have theoretical foundation, which is far from the practical application required by enterprises. They are completely useless and become unemployed as soon as they graduate.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be various IT training institutions providing secondary training.

Many parents find that it is not enough for their children to go to college, and they have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to attend corresponding training courses before they can find a job.

What kind of IT talents an enterprise needs and what knowledge they need are fixed within a certain period of time. Therefore, the college can formulate skill tree courses that meet its own requirements based on the actual situation of each department.

It is another level where there are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, and the other side does the education themselves.

After the Bi'an Youth Training Academy is built, all teachers will be technical training lecturers within the company and senior employees will teach in turns.

At that time, we will recruit students aged 18 to 30 from the society. As long as they pass the entrance examination, their board, lodging and tuition are free in the college. They can choose the corresponding department, job level and corresponding skill package to study according to their entrance examination results and their own wishes.

Assessments will be held every once in a while, and students will continue to study the next course. If they fail, they will have one chance to retake the exam. If they fail again, they will be eliminated directly, which means they will be expelled.

After passing the final exam, those who pass the exam will be awarded a certificate and graduate successfully, and will be able to start work directly in the various subsidiary departments of the Bian'an Group. Generally, they can start working directly after adapting to the environment within a week.

Of course, for those technical experts, they can skip the learning and training process and graduate in seconds by relying on their own abilities to directly beat five rounds.

Of course, there is one exception, that is, if there are already very influential technical experts in the industry, senior executives of large companies can skip this step.
