Reboot 2003

Chapter 359 009: Internal Conflict (Two in One)

This is too arrogant, posting something like this in school.

Other students nearby were talking a lot, and people kept crowding over to look at the posters on the board. The boy who knew how to play games like just now was very interested. Other middle school students who didn't know this were also gathering around and talking about it.

Both boys and girls were discussing, and a teacher even passed by with a thermos cup and asked a few students he knew to ask what was going on...

"Chen Qin, is it really okay?"

When I walked out of the teaching building gate and met Ah Yue, Ah Yue felt a little guilty. She had drawn the poster, but everyone's reaction was a bit beyond imagination.

Chen Qin was quite proud at this time: "What's going on here? Tomorrow you draw another poster like this, and I'll ask my brother to post it in the community where the parents live to give him some insights."

"Isn't this a bit..."

"What's the point? They didn't think about being polite when they came to trouble you. Besides, I didn't hit the windows of their house. This is already an act of mercy outside the law..."

Master Chen was talking big words, but he was talked to by the school leaders the next day.

The dean and Lao Qiu unveiled the poster and invited the two young people involved to the office.

The dean said: "Ah Yue, Chen Qin, I know that the parents who made trouble that day and you two may have some opinions on the outcome, but in any case, school is a place for learning. How were your grades last semester?"

Lao Qiu didn't know why he asked this, but when it came to this, as a class teacher, he became proud first: "Both students performed well in our class. A Yue is the first in our grade, and Xiao Chen..."

"A'yue, I know. Xiao Chen, I remember his score dropped a bit. Lao Yang, who teaches politics, also told me that he..."

Lao Qiu said: "The fifty-sixth grader, although they are a little behind last year, they are about the same as the first graders. They draw more points in politics."

The dean felt that he had grasped the key: "Look, you two are very smart students, but you just don't put your mind on studying. You should have better results now. What's the result? If you do this every day now, you will be better in the future." What will you do when you grow up? You can't just play games your whole life."

As a result, Chen Qin asked: "Why not?"

Lao Qiu also hurriedly muttered a few words in the director's ear, probably introducing the Friends Brawl and the Ruins Brawl that A Yue did when she first debuted. There is actually another version, and now it is serious. For commercial projects, although there are not many people playing and the popularity is not very high, the money can be earned.

The director had really never heard of this, and felt guilty for a moment: "Even so, you can't give up your studies. I'm not stopping you two from developing hobbies, but you are also in your third year of junior high school. Anyway, we can wait until high school..."

Chen Qin said: "The two of us previously occupied the special recruitment quota for scientific and technological inventions. Those who have extra points in the high school entrance examination are guaranteed to be admitted to key classes and complete the KPI. Director, don't worry!"

The dean was embarrassed: "What are the KPIs and no KPIs? The purpose of talking about these now is to let you two go on the right path. Come on, sit down first. I am not unilaterally lecturing you..."

But even though he was still lecturing, his previous aggressive look was a bit unbearable. At the critical moment, Lao Qiu couldn't stand it anymore: "Now we don't ask you not to do your stuff, we just ask you not to disturb other students. Now that you are in the third grade of junior high school, you are at an age where you are easily susceptible to various temptations. You two, we The teachers really haven't worried about it, but there are always other students. Are there not many like Song Ziyun? It's not that you have led him astray, but there are always students like this on campus. You spread that kind of stuff in the interest corner, You also have to consider the influence of others.”

The dean said quickly: "Yes, that's the truth!"

Lao Qiu added: "In addition, you two have also seen that many parents are very disgusted with this recently, and some of them are indeed more extreme. Although the school will definitely ensure that you two are not disturbed, but just in case..."

"Yes, yes, this is for your safety too!"

The dean of students said a few words before he realized what he was doing. He turned around and glanced at Teacher Qiu, thinking, "Isn't this what I want to ask the students to lecture me about?" Also, why does it default to 'it doesn't matter if you two play games'?

The expression of the dean, who had just recently uncovered a case of dormitory students surfing the Internet late at night, was a bit subtle, but thinking of the previous rumors - he was not interested in the games played by A Yue and Chen Qin, but the girl A Yue had a mysterious background, and the dean had already heard about it. Pass.

Since there was no big problem, he did not continue to object. In short, at this point, the matter could be regarded as a reasonable consensus. Of course, A Yue was not worried about this matter from the beginning. She just asked Chen Qin in a low voice: "Chen Qin Qin, let’s just forget about it in school, right? I think Teacher Qiu is right..."

"Alright."

Chen Qin thought for a while and agreed.

Although Mr. Chen is very capable of holding grudges, this matter is not a joke after all... Of course, China is much safer than Wall Street, which draws a gun whenever there is a disagreement, but after all, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of anything else——

It's cool to see the villains from rich families on TV being punished, but they often don't end well. When I got home, I happened to see my father, Chen Dashan, holding a brochure and making a phone call. When he came in, he asked, "Did I see you at school today?" ?”

Chen Qin asked: "Did Principal Wen tell you?"

Chen Dashan said sternly: "How did I know that? Don't worry about it. Your mother and I have no control over the things you messed with. You should be more careful for me. I know the parent. He is a transportation worker from a nearby town." , The level of education is not high, and I know a lot of people from all walks of life. If you use the Internet every day, others will not care about you. If you mess with others, they won’t care what you do..."

"I know, I know!"

Now that he has said so, he, Mr. Chen, is not an unreasonable person. In addition to A Yue's previous persuasion, in short, let this person go first this time.

And...there is something else going on tonight.

After a few perfunctory words, Chen Qin went back to his room, just in time for the Galaxy Software board of directors meeting to be in the middle of the meeting. Sun Xiazhang's assistant was broadcasting live in the Star Core, discussing the last game box incident.

Of course, Ah Yue had her mother attend on her behalf, and Chen Qin had the acting director of his Xiangjiang Company to advocate for him, so there was no need to rush to get involved himself.

Originally, he just wanted to hear what the new Mr. Li had to argue with, but after listening to it, Chen Qin vaguely felt that it sounded familiar. What was discussed in the board of directors was actually the same thing as what was said in the school.

"According to the suggestions provided by Hongshui Bank, domestic financing guarantee supervision will be tightened this year. Not long ago, Bu Wei conveyed the spirit and asked the relevant companies of our semiconductor fund to take the lead and demonstrate in the field of science and technology..."

The new Mr. Li said these official words, which of course meant to justify his route. The board of directors is basically Chen Qin's people, so naturally he would not be so easily persuaded: "We are doing semiconductors, what does this have to do with it? Besides, In order to raise funds, there is not much difference between the game and the advertising business, so how can you conclude that there will be resistance from the top?"

Mr. Li explained: "This is just my judgment. We have not been directly required to do so at the moment, but with Shanda's experience, I think we have to guard against..."

But I heard the voice of A Yue's mother again: "So you think the game box is a project that must be abandoned?"

Sister-in-law doesn't sound like she understands this kind of thing, and she's making a strong point like A-Yue. Speaking of which, should I still call her sister-in-law now?

But now is not the time to consider this kind of issue. Just after my sister-in-law asked, Teacher Li Kaifu patiently explained: "I just think it is not suitable for large-scale publicity. For example, we can go the route of pan-entertainment. Now the company is going Make arrangements in this regard..."

Another director said: "The scope of pan-entertainment is too large, and it is completely different from the previous discussions."

The CEO replied: "Actually, these businesses are all part of the company's layout. We just combined them into a new concept. This does not mean that I abandoned the previous route..."

After the debate started like this, everyone else asked questions, and the CEO answered them one by one. After talking about it, Teacher Li Kaifu's ideas sounded quite reasonable.

I just happened to catch up with this point recently. Shanda Game Box was half-finished and was destroyed by Iron Fist. Chen Qin knew this a long time ago. IPTV is indeed a bit overestimating its capabilities. Now it is really normal to be fucked.

But from another perspective, this may also be a somewhat dangerous signal - it is true that iptv has touched the government's cake, but the government did tend to turn a blind eye before; the reason for the sudden change of heart is, It is certainly a reason for the corresponding yamen to be overbearing, but it is also a reason for the government to have unrealistic expectations for these technology companies. Ten years later, the government probably knows what kind of company Shanda is; although the business that has been done is not IPTV will interfere but has not done so yet and will not let them continue to do so.

Because of these changes, Shanda's Mr. Chen has been frequently irritating in the media recently. He also said that Chinese people have too high demands on private enterprises. If they don't make their own chips when making technological products, they will immediately become national sinners, and the government will not punish them. He treats it as a normal person... What he said actually makes sense, but thinking about the future situation is somewhat black humor. The history of Mr. Chen's fortune is comparable to that of a reborn person, but China is too poor, and his company is reaping the dividends of online games. If I don't study hard and think about the money in other students' pockets every day, it's almost time to go to the Academic Affairs Office for an interview.

Now the early bird has finally been punished. Although it has no direct relationship with others, it is somewhat of a wake-up call. Galaxy Software started with the dividends of the communication business. It is actually a company of the same type as Shanda. It is good to study now and live up to the school. I have high expectations, but I am working on a mobile phone software distribution channel and p2p streaming media, which has somewhat touched the cake that is accessible to the public. In fact, it does have some similarities with iptv in nature.

The mobile Internet era is approaching, and games will be important next. But in addition, the company also has other projects with higher priorities, and conflicts with government business are inevitable.

Now making games with great fanfare...the problem may not be as big as Shanda, but it is still a bit unreasonable...

After listening to this for a long time, Chen Qin himself was a little bit convinced by Mr. Li. At this moment, I am also thinking to myself that I might as well forget it for now.

Although it was inappropriate for them to completely abandon the project before, now that it has been restored anyway, there is no need to worry about it anymore.

As for pan-entertainment, since it is the upstream of the IP route, it is not impossible to do it in advance...

Chen Qin thought so, and actually did so.

In the conference room, although Sun Xiazhang felt that the other party was reasonable, he was the board representative of Santiago after all. Now he could only continue to find faults. In the end, mid-sentence, the assistant said a few words in his ear, and Sun Xiazhang looked surprised. Look on his face, and suddenly changed his words: "What Mr. Li said makes sense, why don't you explain what you mean by 'pan-entertainment'? How does it relate to the company's IP strategy?"

Sun Xiazhang's tone was relaxed, and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it's our own company, so internal friction is internal friction, and we can't really keep making trouble over trivial matters.

Chen Qin was thinking this when A Yue's call happened to come. He was busy attending the board of directors today, so Chen Qin went home after school.

After the call was connected, Ah Yue said: "Chen Qin, Chen Qin, there seems to be something suddenly happening with the Galaxy Software."

Chen Qin said: "Oh, that, that's okay, it's the organization's decision, just ask your mother to leave it alone."

A Yue seemed to be caught off guard: "Oh...well, I thought something was wrong. If it was the company's decision, then there's nothing we can do about it."

Then he said: "But my mother doesn't know about this, and they are in a meeting."

Chen Qin suddenly felt a little strange: "Wait a minute, what are you going to say? I'm talking about asking your mother to speak at the board of directors a few days ago."

A Yue said: "Ah? I want to tell you that today Aunt Yu seemed to have suddenly received a notice saying that her role has been canceled... Of course Aunt Yu's matter has nothing to do with it, but I think it may have something to do with the project team you mentioned that day. I’m concerned, so I came to find you quickly.”

Chen Qin was stunned: "Why was it cancelled?"

A Yue replied: "I don't know either."

After hearing this, Chen Qin lowered his eyes gloomily.

I originally said forget it.

As the saying goes in school, you have to be merciful and merciful. Now that the matter is over, he can't keep entangled with the troubled parents just because of a small conflict.

For the same reason, the conflict this time mainly comes from the company's line. Since this big problem is gone after the explanation, the conflict can of course be compromised like the school.

But what’s going on with this casting thing?

For his company, which is valued at tens of billions, it doesn't matter even if he brings in folk actors from all over the continent, let alone an actor.

However, the other party had appointed this actor to him for the sake of Mr. Chen, but because he raised some questions on the board of directors, he tried to show off to me?

Master Chen was angry again.

Sun Yazhang had just received an order, and everyone was relieved. Mr. Li also chatted with a member of the board of directors about his recent contacts with people in the entertainment industry, and the atmosphere in the conference room became lively.

As a result, the assistant suddenly came back and said a few words in Sun Xiazhang's ear.

Sun Yazhang suddenly stood up again: "No, even so, Mr. Li, you transferred people from the game department in advance, and this matter was not approved by the board of directors!"

All in all, Manager Sun fell out whenever he wanted. He changed his attitude faster than the opera singer in the testing department. Although the other directors were facing Santiago, most of them were a little confused about the situation, but some responded quickly.

Probably aware of the trend, Fu Guohua, a technical representative from Sun Company, stood up, took out a lot of industry data, and began to seriously refute Mr. Li Kaifu's previous feasibility of the pan-entertainment route. He just didn't He said that now he suddenly raised objections, and what he said turned out to be quite reasonable.

After he gradually gained the support of several formal directors, including Qiao Yongping of Moyou and Xu Tao of San Diego, the situation became chaotic again.

Teacher Li Kaifu gradually became overwhelmed, and the previous fierce internal conflict started again. Xiao Chen watched the group of people arguing fiercely on the screen, and was so happy that he clapped his hands in front of the computer. At 7:30, his grandma shouted three times before he left the bedroom. Went out to eat and looked refreshed.

"I took a look at your and A-Yue's new game during the day, and it feels pretty good." Chen Dashan had already finished eating, and was still reading the book he had read before, but he suddenly said this.

Chen Qin said casually while grilling rice: "I told you it was groundbreaking, but you still don't believe it..."

"There is also the SEO you mentioned, and the effect of online advertising. This is really powerful. Recently, the order volume of our e-commerce company has increased several times. Xiao Gao and his clients have been called by us as customer service for emergency help."

Chen Qin picked up a chopstick of juicy braised pork and said, "Let me tell you!"

"That's it. The goods from Ayue and her cousin are often not enough. When the supply becomes stable next month, I think this online store doesn't have to wait for Double Eleven. The sales volume may be better than that of our Hanzhang hotpot city. It’s higher…”

When Lao Chen said this, he seemed to be in a trance. Chen Qin drank half a bowl of seaweed soup and asked: "Can it be exceeded? If it can, it can, and if it can't, it can't. As long as the profit and loss model is calculated, in general The turnover data should be certain, 'maybe' what's going on."

Old Chen scratched his head and shook the notebook in his hand: "Isn't this what I was thinking about?"

Chen Qin put down his chopsticks and said in surprise: "You just do the calculations by hand? Let alone the accounting management system, you hire someone who knows Excel to do the calculations. If you don't even do cost accounting, how do you determine the profit rate?"

Lao Chen quickly explained: "Isn't that what you said? We need to reduce the overall profit margin to less than 40%, and use the rest to invest in advertising."

Chen Qin picked up a pork rib: "Then did you vote?"

"Yes, I have invested. I have already added 3 online advertisements, but the company I invited took a long time to calculate, and the profit rate increased instead," Lao Chen said in confusion, "We celebrated two days ago, and the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes. , and later I thought he might have made a mistake in his calculations. I originally planned to take the account book and compare it myself today..."

"That's it..." Chen Qin began to chew the bones, and it turned out that this was what happened.

Lao Chen continued to mutter to himself: "As for the advertisements, in just one month, I have already bought nearly 60,000, but the profit margin has not dropped to the level you said. I don't think this is the case." Is it a bit too dangerous? What if you continue to advertise, but the order volume suddenly isn’t so high next month? By then, the inventory will be backlogged, and the advertising expenditure will be so high, how can you continue to do this business..."

Old Chen muttered to himself, and Chen Qin laughed when he heard it: "Oh, so you just don't know what to do, so you just settle the accounts like Grandet, right?"

"Um……"

"If you don't feel confident, just invest less." Chen Qin said, "It's good to be more stable."

Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, that's what it should be. So you're saying you don't need to buy the amount?"

"I mean we don't need to grow so fast. We can take this opportunity to settle down, tidy up the supply chain, do some quality control, and check which channel has higher marketing efficiency. By the way."

Speaking of this, Chen Qin remembered something. He was so happy watching the show that he almost forgot something.

However, he reacted quickly, rolled his eyes on the spot, and continued in a pretentious manner: "Although the amount of marketing is important, the conversion rate is also very important. Since we have our own brand, we should take care of this. First, we must give our brand Put the image up.”

Lao Chen knew that his son knew a lot. Although he felt that his tone was a bit strange, as if he was thinking about something bad, he still humbly asked for advice: "How to deal with it?"

"Let's hire a model first, take some artistic photos or something, and display all our products. It will be easier to advertise this way." Chen Dashao said, "Ah Yue happens to have a friend who is filming, but the role has just been cancelled. Yes, my personal image is quite good. If you need it, I can help you come and take a look!"

　In the new year, I wish you all the best, happiness to your family, and good luck in the Year of the Dragon! ~
