My Return to Life

"I have to go to Lujiazui to talk to Mr. Guan in the morning."

Take a rest after breakfast, Fang Nian said as he got up from his side.

Lu Weiyu got up and said, "Are you coming back for lunch?"

Fang Nian replied as he walked, "Come back, let's go to the frontier together in the afternoon. You haven't signed the labor contract yet. Take Fang Xin with you. It's lively."

"Then I'll cook earlier." Lu Wei, who was beside Fang Nian, said.

Fang Nian waved his hand: "No, when I come back to cook together, it will be very boring to cook alone."

Just walking to the car parked in front of the building, Fang Nian looked at Lu Weiyu and said, "Thank you."

"Why did you say thank you all of a sudden." Lu Weiyu was puzzled, and she pouted imperceptibly.

Fang Nian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I won't tell you."

"gone."

Fang Nian waved his hand and sat in the Audi S8——

Although Wen Ye and Gu Yu drove away two Phaetons last night, fortunately Fang Nian still had an Audi available.

No matter how bad it is, there is a Panamera parked in the 9th building of Guan Qiuhe next door.

There is no need to take a taxi.

The headlights flickered and he drove slowly out of the yard.

Watching Audi go away, Lu Weiyu puffed up her mouth.

Fang Nian's behavior of teasing her appetite was very displeased.

Tremella Audi drives smoothly on the road, and the engine occasionally roars a little bit of a bull.

Soon arrived in Lujiazui.

Dangkang Game Co., Ltd., 39th Floor, World Financial Center.

Fang Nian walked into the office area under Zhao Qian's guidance.

It has been eight or nine months since Fang Nian came last time, and the interior layout has undergone various changes.

Although the previous planning was reasonable, some decorative partition walls were added due to the physical separation between departments.

The bigger difference is,

The number of workstations has increased.

Walking all the way to the general manager's office, Fang Nian rarely saw any employees looking up.

Zhao Qian knocked and led Fang Nian in.

Make tea, then leave the office and close the door.

"Good morning, Mr. Fang."

Seeing Fang Nian walk in, Guan Qiuhe smiled and got up.

Fang Nian glanced at Guan Qiuhe: "Mr. Guan is good."

He didn't sit down, he paused, and finally walked to the French window of the office.

At a height of more than 100 meters, in Lujiazui, a place full of tall buildings, the field of vision can only be regarded as mediocre.

"It's been almost a year since you came back to the company, how do you feel?" Guan Qiuhe walked to Fang Nian and asked.

Fang Nian looked out the window and replied, "There are a lot of voices."

"Boss Fang actually wants to say that it is overcrowded?" Guan Qiuhe joked with a smile.

Fang Nian laughed: "There's no need to struggle with the words."

Guan Qiuhe said a bunch of data: "The company's headquarters originally planned to accommodate 220 people in the office, but now the office area has a total of 360 workstations."

"How many people are there in total in the company?" Fang Nian asked along the lines.

Guan Qiuhe replied: "Including Dangkang's headquarters and various branches, there are currently a total of 819 employees, including 536 in Shanghai."

Fang Nian pondered for a while, and said: "With the current development form, we can prepare to talk to relevant units in Shanghai about the establishment of an independent headquarters within this year.

Including fitness and entertainment facilities, the office area can be calculated according to the construction area of ​​up to 30 square meters per person;

The number of employees in Shencheng headquarters will soon exceed 1,000, which requires 30,000 square meters, enough to build a building;

Only compared to the long-term layout of Goose Factory to exceed 10,000 employees this year, the number of employees of Dangkang Games will definitely exceed 10,000 in the next five years. "

After Fang Nian's words fell, Guan Qiuhe sighed and said, "The issue of the office area was discussed in the previous two regular meetings of the company, and everyone hasn't realized how far away it is."

"It's not necessarily because he didn't realize it, or because he didn't dare to speak lightly about the company's long-term layout." Fang Nian said casually.

"Since this problem was discussed at the company's regular meeting, do you think there is a solution?"

Guan Qiuhe nodded: "Gradually separate out according to the department's responsibilities;

We have already negotiated the leasing of office area in Zhangjiang, and plan to lease 12,000 square meters of office area and set up a R\u0026D center in Shanghai;

In short, in the end, only core administrative staff will be retained in the World Financial Center. "

Fang Nian thought for a while, and said: "Then implement the construction of the headquarters as soon as possible. According to the long-term plan of 15,000 employees, it should be enough within ten years."

"..."

After a while, Fang Nian walked back to the reception sofa and sat down, took a sip of warm tea that was just cold enough.

Guan Qiuhe didn't come directly to the reception area, but went to the desk to hold some documents, and took a laptop over.

"All the materials you asked me to collect and prepare in advance are here."

With that said, Guan Qiuhe took out a copy from the document and handed it to Fang Nian: "This is the recent stock fluctuation chart and data compilation of Goose Factory;

From the arrangement, it can be found that the stock of Goose Factory rose by 12% the day after the launch of TGP;

Whenever TGP breaks out good news, the stock of Goose Factory will rise sharply;

The biggest increase was the next Monday after Dangkang Games announced the investment in Goose Factory, and it rose by 36% on that day.

Although there have been ups and downs, the current real-time market value is 479 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is 1.6 times higher than the market value of about 300 billion Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of the year. "

Flipping through the data, Fang Nian said, "So, Dangkang Games looks strong in terms of revenue, but in this competition, Dangkang Games has been losing;

The game of Goose Factory seems to have winners and losers, but in fact it will never lose money, because Goose Factory is listed in Hong Kong stocks, and if there is a good news, it will be immediately sought after by capital. "

Hearing this, Guan Qiuhe sighed again, and said, "If you hadn't mentioned this, no one in Dangkang Games would have paid special attention to the direct connection between the rise and fall of Goose Factory's stock price and Dangkang Games."

"It's not anyone's fault, it's that no one inside the company really thinks we're competing on the same level."

Fang Nian hit the nail on the head.

"Many people are already lying on the credit book and rest easy."

"Yes, Dangkang Games has only been in the past for more than a year, and its valuation is tens of billions. This year's average monthly revenue is 500 million. It's amazing, but it's already in danger."

Guan Qiuhe understands what Fang Nian said.

The reason why Ren Yuxin of Goose Factory Games is so confident in participating in the VAM agreement.

Even Liu Qin and Kuang Ping are willing to participate.

It is because they have all seen that Dangkang Games’ proven business model can bring benefits.

can continue to bring benefits.

But at the same time, we also saw a shift in the development focus of Dangkang games.

Except for a game platform that is completely self-developed, Dangkang Games has nothing that can become a self-developed product so far.

Although the game "Minecraft" became popular in China, it began to spread to the pan-Asian region.

Continue to bring high revenue to Dangkang games.

But many people know that a game has a golden revenue period.

And the golden revenue period of "Minecraft" in China has passed.

An activity overdraws a large amount of user consumption and grabs too many benefits in one go.

Seriously affected the subsequent normalization of income.

It also affects the possibility of follow-up fine water and long flow.

This is also the reason why Dangkang Games' current revenue has exceeded 3 billion, and the major investors are still talking about raising money.

Because Dangkang Games does not have a second flagship game that is sufficiently favorable.

More importantly, Dangkang Games obviously has no ability to develop flagship games.

Dangkang's game R\u0026D department has indeed not stopped, but all of them are small casual games.

As for taking the proxy route.

Dangkang Games’ cash reserves are no match for Goose Factory Games.

…………

In the office with a moderate temperature, Guan Qiuhe glanced at Fang Nian, lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "Mr. Wu's negotiations in the United States are actually not going well;

The negotiation with Villefort has made some progress, and Steam is willing to authorize some games to Dangkang in the form of cooperation. "

After a short pause, Guan Qiuhe concluded: "In addition, Dangkang Games hoped to represent large-scale games including Valve, Blizzard and other game manufacturers, but all ended in failure."

"Mr. Wu didn't gain anything from this business trip?" Fang Nian asked.

Guan Qiuhe replied: "It can't be said that there is no, the account period with Villefort Steam has been changed to monthly settlement;

Dangkang Games can get back the exclusive "My World" operating rights in some regions. "

"But... there is really nothing else. The competitors are either Goose Factory Games with deep pockets or Zuoda, or other companies."

Hearing this, Fang Nian didn't say anything.

He was still flipping through the documents in his hand.

By reading the materials, Fang Nian had a clearer understanding of the current situation of Dangkang Games.

First of all, the development of DOTA2 by the Ice Frog team far away in Pengcheng has not been as smooth as expected.

At present, many key links are at a standstill.

Secondly, the pubg research and development project provided by Fang Nian is still reading the book.

Stuck on the first step of development: the game engine.

The Luzhou R\u0026D-data center has just been established, and the employees have just started working.

Even the research and development team for mobile phone applications for the 'Nuwa' system is still in the process.

In other words, the current situation of Dangkang Games is far more difficult than imagined.

There is no shortage of cash flow Dangkang games.

There is no shortage of loans.

What is lacking is development time.

But Fang Nian added a deadline to this development time.

So Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe really didn't jokingly say 'the eggs are in danger'.

But Dangkang Game is really facing a lot of troubles now, and everyone around is watching...

After a while, Fang Nian closed all the documents, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

He said unhurriedly: "Judging from these materials, the crisis of Dangkang Games can be seen by investors or colleagues, so..."

Having said that, Fang Nian smiled and said firmly.

"My thinking is, start now with a strategic show of weakness."

"This is a plan I hadn't thought of."

After finishing speaking, Fang Nian smiled slightly.

It turned out that Fang Nian hadn't thought about this kind of plan, but last night he finally had the same living environment experience as his previous life, so he had some more ideas.

It was also because of Lu Weiyu's quiet company that his thoughts were so clear.

That's why Fang Nian said thank you in the morning.

Guan Qiuhe was stunned for a moment: "There is no need to do this on purpose, we are already in a weak position now."

"Don't worry, listen to me, showing weakness is only strategic.

Let the R\u0026D team including Luzhou and Pengcheng be completely dismantled into a studio model, no matter it is named after ABC or 123. "

Fang Nian said calmly.

"Except for the DOTA2 R\u0026D team and the 'Gunfight' R\u0026D team, which will not be split, all other R\u0026D employees will independently form different studios;

During this period of time, the number of employees in the R\u0026D department is required to reach the scale of thousands of people;

Go all out to develop large-scale games with Chinese traditional culture as the main context;

The game developed by which team can get the best income with the same promotion resources on the Dangkang game platform, and which team will win the special R\u0026D award, and the bonus can be set at 1 million.

This income operation cycle is only 7 days, and there must be a result before September 30. "

After finishing speaking, Fang Nian added: "From the beginning of game development, completely cut off the connection with Dangkang games."

"Finally, in the fourth quarter, the company must have a strong enough main game to boost revenue, and strive to end the game early in November."

After Fang Nian's words fell, Guan Qiuhe pondered for a moment.

"That is to say, Dangkang Games must form a strong internal competitive relationship, so as to catalyze sufficient research and development efficiency."

After thinking about it carefully, Guan Qiuhe said calmly: "This will quickly domesticate a strong R\u0026D team in a year or two;

At the same time, it is enough to support the launch of two highly anticipated games, which will really put the Dangkang game platform on the track of healthy development. "

After a short pause, Guan Qiuhe looked at Fang Nian: "Where does it show the enemy's weakness?"

Facing Guan Qiuhe's gaze, Fang Nian said casually: "From now on, give up taking the initiative to deal with the competition provoked by other game manufacturers including Goose Factory Games."

Guan Qiuhe was silent for a moment, then thought about it, suddenly realized, and said.

"If you save land and lose people, all people and land will be lost; if you save people and lose land, will everyone gain land?"

Fang Nian smiled and didn't say much.

The wisdom and principles of great leaders have always been so simple and direct but always effective.

Therefore, Fang Nian can gain something every time he reads related works.
