Chapter 228 Review
The following annual meeting went smoothly. The little disturbance before became a small episode for everyone to talk and laugh, and soon the attention was attracted by the dazzling array of prizes.
The three major CTOs personally wrote the lottery program code on the spot and broadcast the code writing process live to the employees present. Naturally, no one questioned the fairness.
Now that the company has achieved this level, the only time left is to fight for character.
The annual meeting soon erupted into bursts of warm cheers. The employees who were selected were beaming with joy, while those who were not selected were filled with regret.
Then, while watching the program, there was a lottery draw, and the atmosphere was joyful and warm.
Finally, Qin Shaoyan stood on the stage, holding a microphone, looking at the black heads under the stage, and pondered for a moment.
“Originally I didn’t plan to go on stage, but our CTO Master Zhang Pingyi said that this is the first annual meeting, and it would be inappropriate for you, as the CEO of the company, not to go on stage and say a few words.”
"After all, the sense of ceremony is very important." Qin Shaoyan sighed with emotion, "This is my first time, so it is inevitable that I will be a little rusty. I will try my best."
"The old employees of the company all know me. He has always been taciturn and introverted, and does not like to make long speeches in public. ”
There was a burst of laughter from the audience. The new employees didn't know, but the first-year employees had seen Mr. Qin's reticence at the ChinaJoy venue.
“Sentinel Technology, that is, the campus network, was established in 2003, including the game project.”
“But in the first year, I didn’t think of holding any annual meeting. I just sent it to everyone. Let’s celebrate the holidays by ourselves.”
“After more than a year of development, the company has expanded a lot.”
“The campus network, game department, and Qvod Network all add up. There are nearly three hundred people." Qin Shaoyan glanced at the venue with emotion, "Time flies so fast, my memory is still on New Year's Day last year."
"At that time, the company only had Vice President Zhang, Vice President Chen, Xu Lei, Li Le, Teacher Hong and several art brothers he brought with him. There were no seats in the corner of the second floor of our company."
"At that time, the office area was too empty, and employees on duty at night always complained that the company was not very quiet at night."
"Let me solemnly clarify this here." Qin Shaoyan said with a serious face, "The company There are always rumors that I deliberately rented a haunted house to work in order to save money. This is completely slander!”
“We had just started our business and we were really tight on funds, but we quickly solved the money problem! , I will never ignore the mental health of my employees just to save a little money on rent."
"Right?" Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi, "Mr. Zhang, you were there at the time." br>
Zhang Pingyi couldn't hold himself any longer and could only nod reluctantly.
Qin Shaoyan said in a joking tone: "Our office location was specially chosen, and we even had it checked by professionals."
"After the company moved here, its business has been booming. , but it’s a pity that this place is too small. I think we will have to move next year, and I can’t bear to leave this place.”
“Next year, we will move to a new office building with a high-end atmosphere. Various welfare facilities will also be improved and updated.”
The employees present burst into warm applause, with expectations and excitement on their faces. After all, this place is indeed a bit small now.
And from the outside, it seems a bit incompatible with the aura of a tall Internet company.
It’s fine now, I can finally move into an office building, just like those white-collar workers.
Just when the employees were happy, Qin Shaoyan began to review and summarize, "2004 was a glorious year, a year of struggle, and a year of success."
"Game Department It produced world-class games and became the dark horse of the year at international exhibitions.”
“Campus Network successfully held the Global International Marathon, giving Campus Network a world-class reputation and defeated Dazhong Network in one fell swoop. Become the number one social networking site ”
"Although Kuaibo.com has just been established, it has achieved outstanding results."
Facing the warm applause of the employees, Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"2005 In the next year, the company will take more actions to expand new business.”
“Here, I hope everyone will have a positive and progressive attitude. The company will implement competitive recruitment, and the best candidates will be selected for any position. Regardless of seniority relationship. "
"After the year, various departments of the company will be reorganized. Some departments will be merged, some will be upgraded, and some will be expanded."
< br>
"The campus network must be expanded, and the Qvod Network must be expanded even more."
"The company will create more benefits, more room for promotion, and more opportunities for growth for everyone."
< br>“I hope that in the new year, everyone will make progress together and achieve mutual success with the company.”
“After the company is listed, there will be more welfare bonuses waiting for everyone.”
Bottom The employees burst into even more enthusiastic cheers and applause, and everyone was immersed in the beautiful blueprint planned by General Qin.
After the annual meeting, the employees dispersed, but a group of senior executives were left behind.
Zhang Pingyi led Xu Lei and Li Le from Campus Network, Chen Guangxia led Kou Hongfei from Qvod.com, the game department was led by Fan Xiaoqian and Teacher Hong, and the studio was represented by Liu Kun from Pixel join.
Qin Shaoyan looked around and said with a smile: "I have received all the New Year gifts."
Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement: "I got it."
Chen Guangxia's face was full of joy, "Thank you, Mr. Qin. I haven't made much money in this job for several years. I have been working with you for a year and I have a RV. I really have nothing to repay."
Teacher Hong also said with some shame, "In 2004, the game department only spent money, and Mr. Qin also paid so many bonuses to everyone, which made me feel a little embarrassed."
Fan Xiaoqian also muttered: " I haven’t done much this year, so you just buy me an apartment. It’s not appropriate for me to accept it or not.”
Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: “These rewards are not just to commend you. The hard work in the past year has inspired you to continue to work hard in the new year."
"Ouch!" Fan Xiaoqian glanced at Qin Shaoyan, "Okay, I can tell, you are asking me to do it. You will work until you die."
"Teacher Fan is serious," Qin Shaoyan said, "If it hadn't been for Teacher Fan's generous help, the stand-alone game "Counter Terrorism: Modern Warfare" would not have been released, and there would be no mention of going international. Exhibition.”
"I don't dare take it." Fan Xiaoqian waved her hand, "Mr. Qin's design is still good. The plot script you designed is really powerful, the engine is also quite good, and the picture expressiveness is full."
"Thank you, Teacher Fan, for the compliment. "Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "I left the game department to you, and you managed it in an orderly manner. Teacher Fan has worked hard and deserves the bonus."
"Don't mention it." Fan Xiaoqian shook her head. , "Thanks to the help of Brother Kun and Teacher Hong for the game department, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take care of this place."
Qin Shaoyan turned to look at Teacher Hong and Liu Kun, and said sincerely: " Thank you for your hard work, I haven't been in charge of the game department, so you have to worry about it."
Liu Kun grinned, "Mr. Qin is too polite, I still have to thank you for your trust and trust. Support.”
"I feel relieved to have Brother Kun here." Qin Shaoyan suddenly asked, "How is the side-scrolling fighting project going?"
"The game demo is already up and running, and the combat system is also being worked on. This is a big project." Liu Kun said seriously, "We have to invest more manpower and costs, and it will take nearly a year to complete it."
"It's okay, you can do it boldly. If you need anything, just tell Teacher Fan." Qin Shaoyan said, "If he can't figure it out, he'll come to me directly."
Liu Kun hesitated, "The main reason is that the Sword OL project operated by Sohu takes up a lot of it. Resources, we..."
"The project with Sohu has become useless," Qin Shaoyan said unceremoniously, "They can't make much money on the Sword OL project, so don't have any expectations. Yeah, give up as soon as possible, I’ll talk to Sohu.”
Liu Kun breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Qin."
Teacher Hong interrupted at the right time and said, "When will Mr. Qin take a look at the online game we are cooperating with Sohu? We have made a lot of I still don’t know how to integrate things?”
“Hey, it’s so fast.” Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, “Who is in charge of the planning part now?” Liu Kun said quickly: “I’ll let Liu Yubin be in charge. "
Liu Yubin is an old man who created Pixel together with Liu Kun. The two began to cooperate during the "Qin Shang" period.
Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Brother Kun, what do you think of this online game?"
Liu Kun hesitated a little, and finally said: "I think it's quite satisfactory, the graphics are very good, but there's nothing new in the gameplay. , except for the art, there is nothing outstanding.”
Maybe he felt that his criticism was a bit harsh, so he quickly added: “This is my personal opinion. I usually don’t pay much attention to this project. I just go up during the test. I’ve played it several times.”
“It’s really difficult for Liu Yubin.” Qin Shaoyan sighed, “The gameplay design is not to blame, because of Sohu’s request, they originally told me that they wanted a game. It’s an online game that charges by card.”
“Coupled with the time constraints, it’s pretty good to be able to do this.”
Liu Kun also nodded, "The quality of this online game is still good, and it will definitely not be a loss."
"I don't care whether it is a loss or not." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Just treat it as a team run-in. Let's practice, it doesn't matter if we die suddenly."
"Huh?" Liu Kun and Teacher Hong were shocked.
Even Fan Xiaoqian said, "Bye bye, are you serious?"
"Of course I am serious, I have no intention of making money from this online game." Qin Shaoyan said seriously , "The online game market will change tomorrow, and Sohu will continue to use the same approach that is destined to be eliminated."
"What's more, the national server of "World of Warcraft" will be launched next year. It also charges by card. Can we beat others?"
"Then Zixi can't." Teacher Hong shook his head, " Our gameplay is incomparable to others.”
“So don’t think too much about this project.” Qin Shaoyan smiled, “Mr. Hong, how about another leather version? How long will it take to make it?"
Teacher Hong thought about it, "Six months, and then it depends on whether you add anything new."
"Six months is already a long time. Soon." Qin Shaoyan is still very satisfied with the efficiency of the art, "The style is set to 3D locked perspective, Chinese style, and the background era is set to the Pre-Qin and Warring States Period."
"I will personally be responsible for the planning then."
Fan Xiaoqian frowned, "Mr. Qin, I have to say a few words, what do you mean by this reskinned online game?"
Qin Shaoyan replied: "Except for the art resources, gameplay and values, there will be no other changes. Programmers do not have a lot of work."
"So you also have to run the team?" Fan Xiaoqian asked.
"No, this is used to make a lot of money." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "The card charging model is no longer working, so I changed it to free games and charging for props."
"Eh?!" Everyone was shocked.
Zhang Pingyi had some doubts and persuaded: "I think the road must be walked step by step. If you take too big a step, you will lose your temper."
"In the world, time is basically charged. Online games, how do you make money from free online games?”
“There are many ways to make money from free online games. Then I will teach you what real money is,” Qin Shaoyan said very boldly, “This project. That’s it.”
“It will take the artist six months to complete the resource production. In the remaining time, you can allocate some people to make some stand-alone games.”
Teacher Hong agreed, took out a notebook and wrote it down.
Qin Shaoyan looked at Zhang Pingyi, "The campus network will have the most important task next year. In addition to the International College Summer Camp, there are several things to do on the campus network. Please note it down."
Zhang Pingyi also took out a small notebook, opened the cap of his pen and listened carefully.
“First, the national promotion of college student stations can be started, and we must take advantage of the opportunity of the International College Student Summer Camp.”
“The first cities to be piloted are Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. , Yangcheng is a city where several universities gather. ”
"At the same time, the campus network should carry out supporting publicity activities, such as online lottery, offline prize redemption, milk tea delivery and other activities."
"Second, the campus network should establish an online game operations department in parallel with other departments , the supervisor is responsible to me.”
“The first task of the operations department is to establish a combat-effective local promotion team, and the focus should be on second- and third-tier cities.”
Qin Shaoyan said with a serious face. , "Our online games need to sink into the market, and don't always focus on those big cities."
"The route we are taking is to surround the cities with rural areas, and Internet cafes below the second and third tiers have been ignored. The vast market There’s a lot to be done.”
Zhang Pingyi had some doubts, "That would require a lot of people, and the cost would be very high."
"Don't worry about the cost. Venture capital is paying for it anyway, so what are you afraid of?" Qin Shaoyan said generously, " As long as the front is spread, the performance will naturally follow. It doesn't matter if the net profit is smaller. The main thing is to increase the revenue data."
Zhang Pingyi nodded and recorded it carefully.
"One more thing." Qin Shaoyan looked at Xu Lei and Li Le, "The company's team building issue. Although today's lottery procedure is not a big deal, the problems exposed are not small."
< br>Xu Lei and Li Le looked ashamed and were about to explain, but Qin Shaoyan waved his hand to stop them.
"Today's meeting is not for you two to review. Since there are problems, they must be solved." Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "Although I have formulated a strict research and development process, the rules are dead and people are alive. There will always be various opinions. When unexpected situations arise, the key is how to quickly respond to emergencies.”
“For example, this lottery program, everyone thinks that this little thing is not a big deal, and they don’t take it seriously, even the test group. I haven’t tested it yet, so I just took it and used it.”
“What shocked me even more is that we are an Internet company, and we grabbed a lot of programmers and ended up even making a lottery program. No, it would make people laugh out loud.”
“The dignified campus network, the number one website in the domestic social field, can even create a bug in a lottery program. Then the functions of our website will be broken. Who can use it with confidence? "
"If a bug occurs today, it will only delay everyone's time. If the website has a bug, the loss will be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions."
< br>
Chen Guangxia stood up and said with a face full of shame: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I am the CTO, and I am willing to take responsibility."
"Senior Brother Chen said something serious." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "You are no longer here The campus network is closed, so this responsibility naturally does not fall on you."
"But this incident is a wake-up call for us to pay attention to team building."
"The main reason for the incident. It’s because the team is expanding rapidly, the new people who join are inexperienced, the overall quality of the team is declining, and they are careless.”
“In the future, the company will not only recruit new people from schools, but also pay attention to finding some experienced programmers. "Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "If you can't dig it directly from other websites, Sina, Sohu, and NetEase will do."
"Zhang Tianshi, you are responsible for this matter. After the year, let HR take action to quickly improve the team's combat effectiveness."
"In addition, how to train new people when they are recruited must form a system and norms, and do not use them directly."< br>
Zhang Pingyi nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Chen Guangxia was shocked. Although he did not criticize him today, he knew that Mr. Qin was here for him.
I recruited the most people, most of whom were juniors from Telecommunications University. In order to quickly fill the team, I even recruited senior students who were still interns.
A huge telecommunications faction has formed within the company, nominally headed by Zhang Pingyi, but in fact Chen Guangxia is the core.
Qin Shaoyan took this opportunity to break the structure of the telecom faction.
Transferred him to Qvod.net, and then mixed it with the campus network. Mr. Qin’s methods are really sophisticated.
