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

Chapter 723: What a big ship on the other side!

In the field of social media, the booming development of the WeChat ecosystem has spawned a wave of self-media entrepreneurship.

Phenomenal self-media IPs represented by "Luoji Siwei" and "Papi Jiang" have emerged one after another, ushering in a new era of content entrepreneurship.

In the mini-program track, thanks to the market popularity of the mobile game "The Other Shore", many entrepreneurial teams have launched lightweight mini-program games and made a lot of money.

In terms of network security, the third "Kunlun Mirror" Cup World Hacker Attack and Defense Competition held last year became the focus of the industry.

The Kunlun Mirror Super Defense System V3.0, created by the Bi'an Group, successfully resisted 72 hours of continuous attacks from the world's top hackers without any human supervision.

After the game, the organizing committee of the Beyond event distributed prize money of up to tens of millions of dollars based on the performance of each participating team.

It is worth mentioning that at present, domestic enterprises generally only use the Kunlun Mirror V2.0 version. Even so, the system still maintains a perfect record of zero accidents throughout the year.

At the company's annual meeting, the network security team led by Xu Chaojun won the tens of millions of dollars year-end gift package promised by Chen Mo.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. The Kunlun Mirror V3.0 system has been tested in actual combat by hackers around the world, and its technical content is incomparable to 360.

This year, Chen Mo's plan for him is to work closely with Guoan, not the football team, but the Cyberspace Administration of China to jointly promote the construction of a national cybersecurity system and strengthen a cybersecurity line of defense for relevant departments. This will benefit both the country and the people.

Of course, the secret mediation of the Black Rain Group is certainly indispensable.

Speaking of the mysterious Black Rain group, its members are divided into four categories like playing cards: hearts represent core departments, diamonds represent publicity and promotion, spades represent safety and discipline, and clubs represent people's livelihood and services.

And the levels range from 10 to A, and the energy is also different.

In short, the two sides currently have a mutually beneficial relationship, and they take what they need from each other. As for the details, it is not convenient to expand.
He prides himself on being a man with an extremely flexible and adaptive moral bottom line.

As long as the thing is good and as long as he believes that this thing is right, Chen Mo doesn't mind whether the means used in the process are white or gray.

As long as you don't block my way, it's good for you, me and everyone. Otherwise, it will be like the anti-corruption on the other side. As long as you are wrong, no matter how long you have been with me, how high your level is, or how deep our relationship is, if you delay my great cause, I have no choice but to ask you to 'die'!

Currently, businesses such as WeChat ecology, cloud computing and enterprise security have entered a stable development period, and Chen Mo only needs to review key indicators regularly. But there is one area that he always controls personally.

That is the gaming business that supports the group's cash flow, the well-deserved "cash cow".

Currently, the global mobile game market has entered a mature stage and the industry structure has become stable, but popular products can still create huge waves.

Last year, the global revenue of "World of Glory" reached 10 billion yuan, which is the best proof of the market potential.

As an industry giant, Bi'an Games has established a huge R&D system of 20,000 people. The "World of Glory" project team alone has brought together 5,000 elite developers.

Under such a large-scale R&D structure, new projects are incubated like mushrooms after rain. As the core person in charge, Sun Ziwei directly approves project decisions below 10 million yuan, while Chen Mo monitors the overall profit and loss through regular financial reports.

All the projects that come to his desk are strategic-level projects with budgets of over 10 million yuan. Even so, there is still a mountain of proposals awaiting review.

The gaming industry has always followed the "blockbuster economics" - most projects are doomed to fail, but as long as one phenomenal product is born, it is enough to cover all losses in the same period.

While reviewing these plans, two ingenious games caught Chen Mo's attention.
Human memory is like a deep maze, and certain dusty fragments will always be awakened by reality at certain moments.

The design framework of these two plans unexpectedly activated Chen Mo's deepest memories.

The first: a card strategy game that subverts tradition

It innovatively integrates the resource management mechanism into the classic turn-based framework, introduces a mana system similar to Hearthstone, and is supplemented by a dynamic speed bar, completely breaking the rigid rhythm of the traditional turn-based system.

What’s even more amazing is that the game cleverly borrows the suit system from Diablo, achieving a qualitative leap in character abilities through the activation of step-by-step special effects of two-piece sets, four-piece sets, and six-piece sets.

At the same time, it inherits the "lossless replacement" mechanism of the previous mobile card game "Between", so that low-rarity Shikigami can also become core strategic components with the unique mechanism.

This game is a perfect fusion of Chinese culture, deep strategy and MMO development. Rather than being a card game, it is more of an ecological simulator using cards as a carrier.

In Chen Mo's eyes, it is the culmination of the Beyond card series of games - to put it bluntly, it is an ultimate patchwork monster with innovation.

As for how high its ceiling is, it depends on the "tailoring" skills of the studio.

Second: Tactical competitive shooting mobile game

But at this moment, Chen Mo had a flash of inspiration and outlined the prototype of the "Battle Royale" mode, which was the "Chicken Eating" gameplay that later became popular all over the world.

As for the technical implementation level, with the top domestic and world-class technical background of the Bi'an team, there is no need to worry about picture performance and 3D rendering. What is really scarce is model innovation and mechanism design, which is precisely Chen Mo's greatest advantage.

Among the many proposals reviewed, about half were directly rejected, most received three-star ratings, and three games were rated four stars, including a martial arts MMORPG with ancient dragon heroes as the background, an FPS that combines MOBA elements (similar to "Overwatch"), and a fishing casual mobile game with a slight test of human nature.

As for the two games just mentioned, Chen Mo gave them five stars without hesitation, which means that they will receive the top resources from the other side and will be able to be launched simultaneously on both ends.

Because their targets are exactly the two games in Chen Mo's memory that compete with "Honor of Kings" and "Golden Spatula": "Onmyoji" and "Peace Elite".
The above are all business planning and echelon construction. Chen Mo usually does not interfere with the specific operations of subsidiaries and investment companies. After all, the business is getting bigger and bigger now, and he does not have the energy to do everything himself. If he really wants to review it personally, it may take more than half a year.

Therefore, he focused on the big picture and let go of the small details, only paying attention to the key nodes and intervening occasionally, but whenever he intervened, it was effective, just like the ancient knights who would kill one person every ten steps and would draw blood when they drew their swords.

For example, Douyin established the live streaming sales direction last year and Qingteng Academy built a youth anchor training system.

This kind of intervention is both a support for the team and a deterrent to the founding team.

An invisible declaration: "If you have me, I am important to you; if you don't have me, I am unimportant to me."

Under the system architecture of Bi'an, Chen Mo has subtly instilled a concept through team building and system design over the years: everyone is replaceable - whether it is Zhang Xiaolong of WeChat, Zhang Yiming of ByteDance, or Zhang Xuhao of Ele.me, these executives are no exception.

Except for himself.

Over the past few years, the 100% accuracy of the group's decisions has earned him a personal prestige that is almost mythical.

This is the absolute control that the founding generation possesses—a dictatorship based on rationality and results orientation.

However, when this first-generation entrepreneur with a technical background turned to the technical appendix at the last page of the plan, a set of code snippets made him fall into deep thought.

He wanted to offer suggestions from a professional perspective, but was shocked to find that the logic and syntax of some codes were beyond his understanding. He could understand the meaning of some codes, but he could no longer understand some of them.

Just like those memories that we thought would never fade, they will eventually fade away with time.
When he was working at Xiaomi and in the early days of founding Bi'an, Chen Mo led the technical team to work all night and personally participated in the writing of core codes. In recent years, his energy has been fully turned to strategic planning, personnel management and resource allocation.
The "eating skill" that I thought I would never forget has become so unfamiliar.

The blue light from the screen illuminated Chen Mo's thoughtful face.

The desktop computer is of top configuration, and it is stress-free to run any large-scale game or render any image;

The code in the document also reflects the most cutting-edge technology.

But Chen Mo was "stuck".

"I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry wine together"

He suddenly realized—

In the end, I became another self.

The Spring Festival holiday has just passed, and with the surge of people returning to work, the media circle, which has been silent for several days, has begun to wake up.

Unlike previous years, this year's reports on the Bi'an Annual Meeting did not burst out before the holiday as expected.

Behind this abnormal phenomenon lies an intriguing fact: the grand annual meeting in previous years was spread spontaneously by employees, but this year, due to the mentality of "family disgrace should not be made public", a tacit silence has been formed among employees.

However, truth will eventually come to light, and professional financial media, through exclusive channels, were the first to unveil the purge.

The Paper fired the first shot with an in-depth report titled "The other side strikes hard against corruption! More than a hundred people were fired and dozens were transferred to public security organs for handling," which detailed what is considered the largest anti-corruption storm in the Internet industry in recent years.

"It is understood that at the Bi'an Annual Meeting on January 1 before the New Year, Chen Mo not only continued the tradition of awarding astonishing year-end awards and year-end bonuses of up to ten months for some departments, but also handed in a shocking anti-corruption report card.

Throughout 2015, the internal anti-corruption department of Bi'an discovered and investigated more than cases of violating the "Bi'an High Voltage Line"
It is worth mentioning that these crimes include commercial bribery, embezzlement or other serious illegal acts, among which the phenomenon of "eating from one's own company and betraying one's own company" is the most common. There are 10 cases of employees violating the law because of "seeking benefits for external companies and receiving benefits from external companies". These people will inevitably go to jail.

In addition to the company's internal affairs, Bi'an also announced a new list of entities that will never cooperate, involving 35 companies.

It is worth mentioning that among Internet technology companies, Bi'an is not the only one to increase its internal anti-corruption efforts. Previously, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Meituan, and JD.com also set up internal anti-corruption and integrity departments to fight corruption.

As anti-corruption news spread, more detailed data about this business empire at the Bi'an Annual Meeting was unearthed by the media.

"Bian'an Group's annual revenue exceeds 2000 billion"

Is it universal benefit or huge profits? An Internet giant showed its net profit margin of nearly 30% at its annual meeting

"In the past few years, Bi'an's investment portfolio has covered hundreds of companies in the same field, with a valuation approaching one trillion yuan."

These heavy reports were like a thunderclap, shaking the entire industry.

The public was then shocked to realize that this low-key technology giant had quietly grown into a formidable "business behemoth".

Its huge size not only makes competitors uneasy, but even the leaders of relevant departments can't help but sigh secretly.

"In this wave of China's Internet, this big ship on the other side is showing a tendency to dominate!"
