Game development giant

Zhou Ping is the editor-in-chief of Watermelon Chinese.com. In the past, his life lived and nourished. After all, it was a relatively well-known novel website in China. There were many authors and readers, and he personally discovered many great gods.

But after these great gods had gained a good reputation, one by one left the Watermelon Chinese website, which made Zhou Ping very injured.

What makes Zhou Ping even more disturbed is that last month, Shinhwa Network wholly acquired Watermelon.com. The boss and some senior executives left. His editor-in-chief was temporarily appointed as the person in charge.

It’s strange to say that after the completion of the acquisition, Shinhwa Network cleared out the boss and some of the executives from the Watermelon Chinese Network, but only allocated a sum of one million yuan to Zhou Ping to spend it on her own. The net does not care.

Zhou Ping slowly settled down and began to devote his energy to the construction of the website. He used this million to dig a great god with a good reputation. He also spent money to hold an essay contest. The website's performance has improved. Some began to turn losses into wins.

At this moment, Zhou Ping suddenly received news that Li Yuanhang, the CEO of Shinhwa Network and the largest shareholder of Watermelon Chinese Network, was coming to inspect the work.

Zhou Ping did not know why the boss suddenly remembered coming over to inspect the work. He could only arrange for someone to clean and clean the work area, waiting for Li Yuanhang's arrival.

...

Li Yuanhang and his secretary Shen Bing walked out of the Yangcheng Airport. They checked that it was still early and took a taxi straight to the office building of Watermelon Chinese.com.

Thinking that I wasn't on a tour with microservices, I called Zhou Ping, the current head of Watermelon Chinese.com, and told him to return to Watermelon Chinese.com in half an hour.

The traffic jam in Yangcheng was not much better than the imperial capital. Even in the afternoon, there were signs of traffic jam in some areas. It took about 45 minutes to reach the expected location.

The public office of Watermelon Chinese Network is located in a dilapidated office building that has been around for nearly two decades in the old city. Not only the exterior walls are ragged, but the elevator breaks down from time to time, and from time to time there is news that someone is locked in the elevator.

Li Yuanhang looked at this shabby place and compared it with the office area of ​​Shinhwa Network. He suddenly felt that he was in heaven.

As soon as he got off the elevator, Li Yuanhang saw a greasy middle-aged man in his early forties waiting for the elevator. He seemed to be preparing to go down. He saw Li Yuanhang in surprise and said: "Mr. Li, I am Zhou Ping, the current head of Watermelon Chinese.com. I was just going down to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to come up first."

Li Yuanhang and Zhou Ping shook hands. Zhou Ping graciously took Li Yuanhang to the office area of ​​Watermelon Chinese.com. There were more than 30 people crowded in an area of ​​less than 100 square meters, except for the conference room and manager's office. Everyone has less than one square meter of space. After setting down the desk and chair, there is almost no personal space.

"Everyone put the things in your hands first," Zhou Ping took a few steps forward and clapped his hands vigorously. When everyone put down the things in their hands and looked over, he said loudly, "I'll introduce to you. , This is Mr. Li, the current owner of our watermelon Chinese website. He is the boss of Shinhwa Network. Next, please Mr. Li to say something to everyone."

The employees of Watermelon Chinese.com already knew that their website was acquired by Shinhwa. Many of them like to play games. They knew Boss Li's name very well. When they saw their idol, their applause was extremely warm.

Li Yuanhang walked to Zhou Ping's side, smiled and pressed his hands down. The applause soon fainted. He said, "My colleagues at Watermelon Chinese.com, my name is Li Yuanhang. I am the president of Shinhwa Network Technology Co., Ltd. The new owner of Watermelon Chinese.com, it is a pleasure to meet you all."

"You know that when I came up with an elevator that might be shut down at any time, when I saw you working hard in such a cramped work station, I was proud of your hard work. But more It's distressed, distressed that your working environment is so bad, distressed that your income is not worthy of your hard work, so I decided..."

Li Yuanhang looked around and found that everyone was looking at him, with some expectation and curiosity in his eyes. He smiled and announced loudly: "I decided to raise all the salaries of all people on the watermelon Chinese website by 30%. Everyone can receive another three months' salary this month, and I will rent an office area of ​​no less than 200 square meters in a high-end office building in the city center, so that all of you can work with peace of mind. "

The applause rang out again. The new bosses talked about tangible and practical benefits. When they were excited, they could only express their gratitude to the boss with the warmest applause.

Li Yuanhang chatted a few more casually, asked everyone to go back to work, and asked Zhou Ping to take him to the conference room. He wanted to hear the current development of the watermelon Chinese website.

In the conference room, Zhou Ping began to introduce the current situation of his Watermelon Chinese website in detail: "Mr. Li, there are now 18 great god authors, 85 little god authors, and 500 fine authors. Thousands of authors have more than 3,000, and the number of contracted authors who are still updating is about 155,000, and the number of active paying users is between 100,000 and 200,000."

"The online novels written by our authors are not only sold internally on the website and in APP clients, but also opened up many domestic reading channels. At the same time, they also have close cooperation with several film and game production companies. Last year, two works were adapted into After film and television dramas, audience satisfaction is pretty good."

"Last year, our total revenue was 87 million, expenditure totaled 80 million, and profit was 7 million."

After Li Yuanhang listened to it, it is no wonder that the original boss would sell it to himself. He made a few million in a year of hard work. There was no profit at all. He must have sold it back without saying anything.

But fortunately, at least the watermelon Chinese website is still profitable, but there is a situation that needs to be posted.

Next, Li Yuanhang got a detailed understanding of the operation mode of Watermelon Chinese.com. It is almost the same as the starting point of the previous life. After all, after so many years of development, the novel website has become very mature and has all the functions that should be provided. Li will not appear. Yuanhang just thought of a monthly ticket, barrage, or something, and it was a situation where people would pay their attention.

Li Yuanhang himself didn't understand the operation of novel websites, so he asked Zhou Ping directly: "Zhou Ping, what do you need for the development and growth of Watermelon Chinese Network?"

Zhou Pianping said with joy: "Mr. Li, I think what Watermelon Chinese Network needs most now is exposure. To let more readers know our website, we must first start to promote that Watermelon Chinese Network is now owned by Shinhwa Network, and then dig. A few great gods with many fans can easily attract a large number of readers, but it is not clear how many people can remain."

Li Yuanhang is just a good-fortune boy, so he can just give money: "I will let the operation department connect with you for propaganda matters. Well, it will definitely cost a lot of money to dig the gods, and I will give you nine. One million, plus Mr. Xu's one million not long ago, is ten million. I hope you can manage the watermelon Chinese website well."

"By the way, when digging for the great gods, you should also pay attention to cultivating potential newcomers in your own station, give more recommendations, and have a continuous blood-making mechanism."

"There is one more thing. In the future, works with potential on Watermelon Chinese Network will be given priority to Shinhwa Network."

Little Chicken Zhou Ping nodded his head while pecking at the rice, and said, "Mr. Li, I will follow your instructions and do it well."
