My Age of Investment
Chapter 890: Three British War Lu Bu
Chapter 890
After receiving Xia Jingxing’s instruction, Hainei.com immediately started the big action of digging corners.
Huang Xin contacted many top domestic headhunting companies and placed an unprecedented large order in the domestic game industry. He asked the headhunting company to look at the three companies of Shanda, Jiucheng, and Penguin, and the entire team and the entire department were uprooted.
Driven by money, a large number of headhunters flooded into the magic capital and Pengcheng, trying to get in touch with a candidate, and then using a three-inch tongue to draw a good career blueprint for the candidate after joining the domestic network.
First, Hainei.com is about to enter the field of online games, but there is a serious shortage of game operation talents. Joining at this time will definitely be reused.
Second, the company has not yet been listed, the option incentive plan is very generous, the valuation room is large, and financial freedom is close at hand.
Thirdly, President Xia is very talented and invincible. No matter which industry he enters, he can make any industry change.
……
In addition to the pie drawn, Hainei.com also provided the most realistic salary conditions. After the job change, the original salary base will increase by 50% to double the salary, and the salary will be adjusted in the future depending on the performance.
Three companies, Shanda, Ninetowns, and Penguin, were all listed in 2004. Although there are options incentives after listing, they are definitely not as good as before.
And the three companies have been in development for several years, a carrot and a pit, there are so many good positions, which have long been occupied.
So, a large number of middle-level and grass-roots business backbones of the three companies are tempted by the olive branch thrown by the domestic network, and are ready to go northward.
What's more, under the bewilderment of the headhunting, considering that he wanted to establish a foothold in the new company, he simply took the entire department to resign and used it as a basis for promotion.
Faced with the resignation letters that flooded in general, the managements of the three companies were directly confused.
After they reacted, they immediately began to use various means to retain talents, raise wages, draw cakes, talk about life and ideals, legal intimidation...
The three companies were messed up for a while.
These employees usually look ordinary, just the screws on this precision machine of the enterprise, but even the best and the most popular games still need these screws to operate. If they suddenly leave on a large scale, the game operation will be in trouble. .
If the entire department runs out, the game may be directly paralyzed. When a replacement is found, the permanent loss to the game will be irreparable.
For whatever reason, they must keep these employees, at least part of them, and barely support the game.
After a while, a large number of employees of the three companies have left Bei Piao.
Although some employees are retained, the cost is also very high.
Game operations have increased their salaries. Should other departments, such as the R&D department, increase their salaries?
In this way, the salary systems of the three companies have all been disrupted to varying degrees, adding a lot of costs.
The most important thing is that there is also a feeling of being slapped in the face by the domestic net.
In this context, Shanda, Ninetowns, and Penguin, who have had a brief collaboration in South Korea, met once in the magic city in secret.
"What am I talking about, Hai Nei.com, a man of wolf ambitions. You didn't believe it at first, but now you see it. If you don't upset the Chinese online game industry, our richest man will not let it go."
Liu Zhiping sneered again and again, because his heart was on fire, his tone of voice with Tang Jun and Zhu Jun was not so polite.
"Mr. Liu, there is no need to ridicule here. I know you are angry at the last time we gave up bidding for Neople at the last minute."
Tang Jun barely squeezed out a smile on his face, "We have to admit that this is indeed a mistake in our judgment.
But then again, hundreds of millions of dollars is not a small sum after all. Even if we finally end up participating in the bidding, can we compete with Envision Capital and Hainei.com? "
"At least you can spend hundreds of millions of dollars on Hainet and Envision Capital." Liu Zhiping said coldly, "If you don't weaken the opponent's strength, then people can free up their hands and use the money to dig. Our corner."
Tang Jun didn’t know how to answer the call. They were the worst dug up this time. They were poached alive and dozens of middle-level and key employees. Several game operation posts were short of people, which resulted in the emergence of a lot of people. Series of questions.
Zhu Jun said lightly: "Don't say those useless words. We are here for a meeting today to discuss how to solve the problem."
"Mr. Zhu is right, Mr. Liu, there is no need to hold on to the things that have passed."
Liu Zhiping glanced at Tang Jun who was talking, and nodded lightly, but he was sneer in his heart. The penguin was the first to propose an alliance last time. The initiator of this meeting was changed to Grand.
Don’t even think about the reason, Shanda has finally begun to pay attention to the threat posed by the domestic network.
"Hainai.com does not abide by the rules of the game, and arbitrarily digs corners in the industry, making the entire industry smug.
We Shanda, and you, Ninetowns and Penguin, as the industry’s largest game companies, should join hands and call on more colleagues in the industry to join us. Let’s make an agreement not to dig at each other and aim the guns unanimously. Those unruly companies. "
Zhu Jun and Liu Zhiping were silent and did not make a rash statement.
Seeing this, Tang Jun said lightly, “It’s not that I am self-deprecating. Let’s add one to several companies, and the capital strength is not as strong as that of the domestic network and the prospective capital behind it.
This time, the domestic network can unscrupulously spend money to dig people, disrupt the industry, and next time you can buy or represent overseas excellent game products at a sky-high price.
Two, we must not be careless! Must pay attention to the threat posed by the domestic network. "
"Agreement or something, let's take a long-term view!"
Liu Zhi smiled flatly, “Penguin is not a big company in the field of online games. Even Hainei.com looks down on us and only hired a dozen employees from our company.”
Tang Jun's eyes flickered, and he kept guessing in his heart, could it be that he wanted to ask for any benefits?
Liu Zhiping didn't want to ask for any benefits, and Shanda could not directly give them any benefits to this competitor.
It’s just that the domestic internet is coming on fiercely, and there is strong capital blessing.
The sky fell, naturally there was a tall man against it.
And Shanda is the tall man.
But in Liu Zhiping’s view, this tall man is too conservative and too cowardly. Now that the domestic network is all on his nose, he actually only engages in an industry agreement that does not poach each other. It has no deterrence and is not enough to give domestics. The real blow to the net.
From Liu Zhiping's perspective, he hopes to see Shanda and Hainei.com play real fire, consume the strength of Hainei.com, and attract the attention of Hainei.com, so that penguins have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
To be honest, seeing that Hai Nei.com and Xia Jingxing are so powerful, Liu Zhiping is also very upset. His own cards are too few to fight against such a powerful opponent, and he can only find allies.
After all, you can’t really sit back and watch, watching the domestic network become stronger day by day. If it waits for the success of the game business on Hainet and then feeds back the social business, it is by no means good news for Penguin.
Because Penguin’s own strategy is to monetize the business through the game business, and then feed back the social business.
Now Hainei.com has embarked on the same development path as Penguin. It is clear that they want to grab their Tao fruit and cut the road. This is how they can bear it.
Liu Zhiping's strategic vision is still very strong. At a glance, he can see the power of social + games and the complementary relationship between the two. Penguins in previous lives have mastered the cash cow of the game so that they can continue to invest abroad and broaden the moat.
Although Liu Zhiping still does not know what the failure of the trip to South Korea means, he can clearly feel that the threat to penguins from overseas networks is becoming greater and greater.
Penguin can tolerate Shanda as the leading game player, but it will never tolerate Hainei.com becoming the leading game player, because Shanda does not do social networking, but Hainei.com does social networking.
When Liu Zhiping finished his statement, Zhu Jun lazily said: “What agreement is signed for not digging corners! After signing, everyone will only stare at the domestic network to dig?”
Speaking of this, Zhu Jun snorted, "If you want me to say that Hainei.com is a layman in online games, otherwise, where do we need to dig our people?"
Tang Jun heard Zhu Jun’s overtones, and simply pointed out: “This agreement does not mean to dig each other's corners. It does not mean that the flow of personnel between our several companies is absolutely prohibited.
just restricts everyone not to dig corners maliciously. Someone wants to change jobs. Say hello in advance. You can make corresponding preparations to avoid messing up.
This is by no means a method that Shanda came up with to consolidate its position, but a plan for the healthy and orderly development of the industry. "
Zhu Jun smiled and looked at Liu Zhiping and said, “How do I feel that this has little to do with us? If the domestic network is fierce, it will not rule the game industry, right?”
Liu Zhiping nodded in agreement, “Yes, I also think that the form of this plan is too much of practical significance. The rise of domestic online games will bear the brunt of the industry leader, which has little to do with our small company.”
Tang Jun finally couldn't help it, and said sternly, "There will be no eggs under the covered nest!"
He looked at Zhu Jun and asked, “If Hainei.com acquires Blizzard, can you still sit on the golden hill of World of Warcraft and count money? Can you play the team at ease?”
After finishing speaking, before Zhu Jun could answer, Tang Jun looked at Liu Zhiping again and said: "You Penguins are the same. I know what Penguins are most worried about. You are worried that Hainei.com will make a lot of money in the game industry. The business is slowly consumed, and even QQ is killed!"
Liu Zhiping’s little thought was directly exposed mercilessly, but his face remained as usual, not at all panicked.
However, Zhu Jun was a little flustered. If Ninetowns can succeed, he knows exactly what he is relying on.
Shanda relied on only one "Legend" to dominate the world, but after so many years of development, it has long since got rid of its dependence on a single game.
Instead, it was Ninetowns, almost tied to Warcraft. After losing Warcraft’s mainland agency rights, Zhu Jun could not imagine what catastrophic consequences would happen.
With the strength of Vision Capital, the acquisition of Blizzard can be done, depending on whether Xia Jingxing has any ideas in this regard.
Tang Jun smiled and said, “Now you know I’m not being alarmist, do you? Mr. Xia’s reputation is too prestigious, so he just sneezes, and we might all be lifted off.”
Zhu Jun and Liu Zhiping were silent for a while.
Thinking about it, Liu Zhiping also knew that it was impossible to completely use Shanda as a gunman, because no one in the room was a fool. He simply pointed out: “An agreement not to gouge each other is just tickling the domestic net.”
"But this is a good start!"
Tang Jun smiled and said, “Next, everyone can speak together and resist the “industry destroyers” and “barbarians” together.
In the future, if there are any big moves to be carried out by Hainet, or to promote "Dungeon and Warriors", everyone can work together to suppress it. "
Just as Penguin is worried that Hainei.com will make a breakthrough in online games, Shanda is also a little worried. It is not that DNF may be very popular, but that Hainei.com will vigorously perform miracles and continue to pour money into the game industry, eventually stealing the game leader from Shanda. Status.
was poached, and the unscrupulous domestic network, so that Shanda has a little more vigilance, and think about Xia Jingxing's industry, strength, and personality, Chen Tianqiao is completely unable to sit still.
There was another thing that impressed Chen Tianqiao before. Shanda wanted to acquire Sina, and Envision Capital ran in for a kick, but ran away before the dust settled.
At first, Chen Tianqiao also laughed at Xia Jingxing, thinking that the latter was timid, but later proved that it was not timid, but determined and acted, and the control of the situation had reached a peak.
This kind of person is suddenly going to be an opponent with himself, even if Chen Tianqiao is confident, he still has to deal with it with twelve points.
Tang Jun smiled and said: “I know that the two may still have doubts, and I don’t fully believe what I said, but at the moment we are just forming a loose "sea-catching alliance" and don’t have to worry about so much.
Next, we can continue to wait and see the next step of the development strategy of Hai intranet, and make more cooperation plans according to the situation. What do you think of the two? "
Liu Zhiping and Zhu Jun looked at each other, and both nodded.
"Well, that's it, let's also stage a three-British battle, Lu Bu!"
