Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"I know about the poaching incident."

Chen Dong looked around before speaking, his expression calm and showing no sign of anger.

However! The employees below felt uneasy about Chen Dong's face.

They weren't afraid of Chen Dong getting angry; they were afraid of Chen Dong, their boss, having no expression!

Those employees who had contacted Zhao Zhiqiang, who was sent by Dream Company to poach people yesterday, were especially terrified.

Unexpectedly, Chen Dong spoke up the next moment, saying, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. I don't object to any of you switching jobs to Dream Company."

"But there is one thing I hope people who are planning to change jobs can understand: they cannot sell the company's business, secrets, or other confidential information after changing jobs."

"Otherwise, no matter what, I will pursue this matter to the end."

Chen Dong's expression changed, and he spoke with a serious face.

Being poached is unavoidable, and so is changing jobs.

This isn't about giving someone a raise or anything like that.

Dream Company is larger and has more substantial capital than 361 Company.

What 361 can provide, Dream Company can also provide; what 361 can't provide, Dream Company can still provide.

In short, it's all about capital concessions!

In this competition of capital, if your company's capital is inferior to the other party's, then getting angry is useless.

This is also why Chen Dong wasn't angry. In his previous life, when he was worth two billion, many of the employees of his company were poached by other companies.

In particular, they have poached a lot of people from other companies.

On another note, Chen Dong was not angry at all; in fact, he felt a little amused and wanted to see Dream Company stumble and make a fool of itself.

If Dream Company were to poach his employees in three to five years, Chen Dong might be quite angry.

After all, by that time, the internet had become widespread in many places and households in China, providing the basic conditions for becoming a "pay-to-win" online gamer.

Nowadays, the main focus of game development is still on cartridge games and PC single-player games.

These are basically one-off deals; once they're developed and sold, there's no further revenue.

There was no single-player Dreamcast like the later Steam platform, which sold Dreamcast games to generate revenue from updates or ads, or relied on players watching ads for income.

In this day and age, none of that matters anymore; the competition is all about whose single-player games and cartridge games are of the highest quality.

But! The huge pitfall of adopting foreign practices in China is!

Why was Chen Dong's 361 Company able to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan a year in the early days of China's "borrowing" environment?

This is all because Chen Dong didn't have the budget to develop the game.

The programmers at 361 Inc. were all following Chen Dong's plans to develop Kairosoft games, which is also a case of "borrowing" ideas.

The only way to deal with "borrowing" is to borrow; with no research and development costs and only production costs remaining, it's natural to be able to make a lot of money.

If Dream Company poachs people and gets burned by copying others' ideas, then the original CDs and cassettes they produce won't sell.

Then things will get interesting.

Chen Dong's words surprised all the employees below.

These days, there are still bosses who aren't angry when their employees are poached?

What a weird thing!

After briefly mentioning the poaching incident to assert his status as the boss, Chen Dong stopped paying attention to it.

Then, Chen Dong brought up another matter.

"During this period, Ichiro Yamamoto from Sega has called me a lot, all giving me feedback that the graphics of Diablo produced by our company are terrible."

"I can't object to that, after all, these are works that our company rushed to complete in a month."

"therefore!"

At this point, Chen Dong looked at Li Li, the HR manager, and said, "Manager Li, could you please arrange for someone to go to Japan? Sega will send someone to meet and assist us."

"I need you to send someone to the island nation to acquire a company that integrates voice acting, music, art, and copywriting for me for three million RMB."

At this point, Chen Dong smiled with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Originally, I didn't plan to release Diablo 2, but unfortunately, many players have expressed their opinions about not releasing version 2."

"So, once the company is acquired, we'll set aside a programming team from the single-player game department to gradually develop Diablo II for me."

"Overall, not many changes are needed. The main focus is on fixing bugs from the first game and releasing bug fix patches, as well as improving the graphics, sound, and so on in the second game."

"But! The second generation must maintain the style of the first generation; the art style must be dark and gloomy enough!"

Finally, this is something Chen Dong emphasized, and it's also what the players all want to see.

After all, Chen Dong was genuinely worried that outsourcing the graphics of Diablo II to the Japanese would result in a slapstick, anime-style visual style.

For those with slender, long legs, flat chests, blonde hair, and an arrogant demeanor, Barbie Q is the answer.

"Okay Mr. Chen."

Human Resources Manager Li Li nodded to indicate that she understood.

Chen Dong thought for a moment and added, "Also, when recruiting, remember to mention that the main business of this island nation company is accepting outsourced business from China. Obedience to orders is an absolute requirement, and you absolutely cannot ignore this requirement because of the national situation."

"It will be written into the contract, and I will be fired immediately if I violate it."

Li Li was surprised for a moment, but without thinking much of it, she immediately nodded and replied, "Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand."

After all, it's normal to follow your boss's work arrangements when you work at a company.

This was something Chen Dong recalled about his past life.

At that time, domestic comics began to rise, and the adaptation of comics was outsourced to companies in Japan.

Then something really awful happened.

In Japan, they actually changed all the main characters in the manga to be Japanese, have Japanese names, and even speak Japanese!

Yes, it's that ridiculous!

Chen Dong didn't want his company's manga and game adaptations to become wildly popular online, only to find out they were all Japanese productions.

What's the difference between this and South Korea's attempt to claim UNESCO World Heritage status? Aren't they both utterly shameless?

Therefore, Chen Dong must be wary of this: this company will not accept financing, much less go public.

All rights must be in one's own hands; otherwise, it's better not to do them at all.

Afterwards, Chen Dong thought for a moment, and after confirming that there was nothing else, he gave a few final instructions regarding his health and not to work too late.

He then left the company.

After Chen Dong left, the atmosphere at the scene immediately relaxed, and everyone went about their business chatting and laughing.
