Chapter 215 Tianmei Merger
Guofeng Studio's enthusiasm for recruiting newcomers was not stopped by the continuous rainy weather in Yangcheng.

Many young lads came to Yinhui Mansion to attend interviews for their various dreams amidst the voices of "produced by Guofeng, must be a boutique" on the Internet.

In such an atmosphere, Wen Liang also concentrated on internal interviews.

At the end of last month, he announced at the all-hands meeting that the company's corporate development and corporate strategy department will give priority to internal employees of the company, and those who are interested can directly submit applications to him on the internal chat software.

Since July, there have been successive employees who wanted to challenge themselves and submitted applications.

It just so happened that the situation was developing as expected and there were no other important matters, so Wen Liang took the time to interview some internal employees.

The two departments of corporate development and corporate strategy are oriented to Bolang as a whole, including subsidiaries.

Among the less than 2000 employees who have only entered the job through recruitment channels, there are naturally people who meet the job requirements.

At least, Wen Liang will be patient and listen to every confident employee who walks into the general manager's office.

Questions from unusual angles will also be asked appropriately.

For example, Lin Guo, a 22-year-old fresh graduate from Puben who has just joined the company for a few days.

Obviously, Lin Guo's current understanding of the company is very limited, and he has very little contact with affairs.

Wen Liang looked at Lin Guo and said, "What stage do you think Bolang is in now?"

"The bottleneck transformation period." Lin Guo opened his mouth, and finally gave the answer directly.

Seeing that Wen Liang signaled himself to talk about his views, Lin Guo said frankly: "Although the company is in the start-up stage, based on the information I learned through the Internet, various businesses are still in the stage of vigorous development, but I think the company has actually reached a bottleneck in transformation. Expect."

"The business model of Xiaochengshu is very well designed, which makes the company's development of mobile game business very smooth, and the transition to communication and social networking is almost seamless, and the same is true for other businesses."

"But I think Xiaochengshu has reached a bottleneck in the domestic market, and its other businesses are constrained by the environment and other aspects. If it wants to continue to grow at a super high speed, it obviously needs transformation."

Seeing that Wen Liang didn't mean to interrupt, Lin Guo expressed his own solution: "In my personal opinion, the direction of transformation should be to find the entrance of the mobile terminal."

"Of course I'm only speaking in general terms."

Wen Liang was noncommittal, but said: "It's rare to have interest and confidence when you just joined the company. Let's go to the company's strategy department for an internship."

Linguo is indeed talking in general terms.

There are many things to consider in the process of implementing a plan, and the energy invested is not small.

Result orientation is of course all that easy.

The real difficulty is the process.

For example, Wen Liang's layout in various aspects, sometimes even people like Wang Wanyu, who once stood on the Deloitte platform to provide financial consulting for many large companies, don't quite understand it.

For example, the arrangement for Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng at the beginning of the year can now see some signs of "so it is".

Relying on the development of the mobile Internet, there is nothing more secure than entering through mobile devices.

As for Wen Liang's radical communication with Lao Li not long ago, it will take longer to see the signs, and it will be even more difficult to understand.

However, there are always bottlenecks in the development of a company, and most of the time preparations should be started when the development is smoothest.

Only in this way can we maintain growth and development, and we can avoid the reduction of the income of all employees, the decline of cohesion and eventually bankruptcy.

On the whole, Wen Liang's plan for Bo Lang is actually more selfish than public.

Besides, Wen Liang enjoys the wealth created by the times, so he should repay the society as a matter of course, otherwise, what is the difference with the capitalists he hated in the past and present?
Moreover, Wen Liang is not like most people who just hate him because he has not become a capitalist...

Of course, Bolang's corporate strategy department needs a few people who talk in general terms, because it may not be unrealistic.

In addition, during this round of intensive interviews, Wen Liang asked almost every employee about their work experience.

Whether it is coy or outspoken, Wen Liang has made the necessary records.

…………

On Friday, the 27th, after heavy rain and showers, Yangcheng ushered in cloudy weather again.

The temperature has dropped a few degrees, and there is less heat wave.

Wen Liang completed the intensive interview, and he interviewed all the employees in the company who wanted to be transferred to the company's strategy and corporate development department.

A total of 12 people have been recruited by the two departments, 9 of which are interns.

The meaning of the internship position is to keep the original position in the department, and the salary will be paid as usual. After a period of time, if you are not qualified, you will be transferred back to the original position. If you are competent, the human resources will renegotiate the salary.

Wen Liang also heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the last employee who came for the interview leave the office.

After serving the teacup, his demeanor became more relaxed.

However, the "good times don't last long", the arrival of Tang Pu, an "uninvited guest", interrupted Mr. Wen's enjoyment.

Sitting down at the desk, Tang Pu said cheerfully: "The interviewees in the past two days have had some good-level game developers, and the launch of Guofeng Studio this time and the effect of recruiting new ones by the way is really good."

"Now there are 40 game development programmers who are basically finalized."

"At least the development resources of this aspect of the game will become easier and easier."

Hearing Tang Pu say this happily, Wen Liang showed a satisfied smile: "That's okay, it would be great if we can continue to expand in such a stable way in the future."

Hearing this, Tang Pu suddenly felt a little emotional: "I used to think it was a bit exaggerated to rent the 5th floor in IFC, but now counting those fresh graduates who haven't joined the job yet, the company size is not far from 3000 people."

"Soon there will be not enough office space, and the planning of the headquarters building is a bit late now."

Wen Liang smiled when he heard this: "It has been reasonable since ancient times for soldiers and horses to go first without moving food and grass. It is already good to be able to do this now."

Tang Pu took it seriously: "That's true."

Turning to the serious business: "In the past two days, President Ren of White Goose has called from time to time. Our side is full of sincerity, and they are not easy to watch, saying that they have prepared some big moves today."

He also said: "But compared with the white goose, our foundation is still too weak."

Wen Liang said in a gentle tone: "We also have our advantages. We have always been a development-oriented development model, and we are very strong in the control of product strength, and no one can cover everything."

"That's true." Tang Pu smiled, "I've surfed the Internet too much these days, and I'm a little impatient."

Afterwards, Tang Pu made a small arrangement.

It is planned to intensify efforts to promote the heat of the industry in some aspects, and to control the residual temperature of the heat at the right time.

This time the degree of perfection is very high, and Wen Liang has nothing to add.

…………

…………

At almost the same time, on White Goose's side, Ren Yuxin was presiding over the game affairs meeting under the Mutual Entertainment Business Group.

There were many participants.

They are all familiar faces.

There were middle-aged men who were planning to lead a team to Yangcheng to discuss cooperation with Bolang, young people from Tianmei Yiyou, and middle-aged men who were in charge of mobile games.

The atmosphere of this meeting was relatively loose.

After all, White Goose and Bolang now have some tacit cooperation in some affairs, which can be regarded as a state of alliance, not a state of hostility before.

"Bolang's actions are not small. The disclosure of Guofeng studio, recruitment, and the launch of new high-quality games have firmly occupied the focus of public opinion."

"Yes, the development strength of Guofeng Studio is much stronger than the outside world estimates. Now the voices on the Internet are all slogans of "Guofeng's product must be a boutique", and there are more spontaneity in it."

"Word-of-mouth effect, the advantage is indeed on their side."

"However, our background is relatively rich, and we can easily come up with equivalent resources."

"..."

Listening to everyone's loose discussion, Ren Yuxin also interjected a few words: "Don't underestimate Bolang, the past and present facts have revealed many problems, and the company's senior management and Bolang Wen also have a lot of tacit understanding."

"Martin also mentioned to me that Mr. Wen is very good at considering the consensus of interests when doing things, but he doesn't suffer any disadvantages. This aspect is also the key point that needs to be paid attention to."

Although Ren Yuxin has never dealt with Wen Liang directly, he is not stupid. How can it be easy for a person who can easily facilitate multiple parties to achieve benefits.

Age is meaningless to such a person.

Not only that, Ren Yuxin knows more things, he knows that the purpose of this time is not superficial interests, but relatively long-term interests.

Liu Chiping also mentioned important points to him, especially the perspective of being gentle and everyone's common interests.

The white goose is very large, but it will not make any mistakes in this multi-party consensus of interests.

Then it is not a matter of loss of interests, but a direct collapse of the basis for cooperation.

After half an hour of idle discussion, a relatively complete framework was negotiated.

"Our mobile game business thinks that we can make such an attempt, take Tianmei Art Tour as the main body, merge Linlang and Wolong, and upgrade it to Tianmei studio group."

"Integrate all R&D resources into one."

"..."

Someone on the other side also objected: "Isn't this a bit unfair to Lin Lang and Wolong?"

"..."

The middle-aged man in charge of the mobile game business is still a clear-cut youth who supports Tianmei Yiyou.

The proposed merger is dominated by Tianmei Yiyou.

But obviously there are also differences of opinion.

There are of course internal interests here.

The reason why they were so anxious to end Bolang's mobile game business last time was also because they wanted to merge resources.

This is sort of a rehash.

This is no way, the big company is actually a small society. The young man in charge of Tianmei Art Tour made a lot of noise because of Bolang's counterattack, and he was a bit disappointed.

The benefits promised by the middle-aged man were not delivered.

If it doesn't happen this time, the merged team will not be easy to lead.

As for Linlang and Wolong, there has never been any promise in this regard, so there is no such influence. Besides, everyone is close or distant.

"Tianmei's name sounds better."

"It is also convenient to promote the Tiantian series."

"In addition, Xiaohong's level is not bad."

The middle-aged man gave three reasons.

The general direction has been finalized. Although Ren Yuxin knew that there was some interest in it, he took a quick look and saw that the opposition was actually not strong, so he didn't want to get too entangled in such small internal details, so he made a decision directly: "If this is the case, then Let’s do it this way, and make the public announcement a little louder.”

"understand!"

Ren Yuxin is also the COO of the group after all, and he has a lot of authority. His nod is a certainty.

……

2012 7 Month 27 Day.

Through various official channels, including the official WeChat public account, White Goose also disclosed to the outside world the merger of self-developed game studios under the mutual entertainment business group.

Simultaneously launched two well-made mobile games.

"Everyday Lian Meng" and "Everyday Cool Running"

The news itself was not small, and the White Goose also created momentum, which naturally quickly swept through the cyberspace and sparked heated discussions.
