Two hours later, Jin Yong called a few main managers to the conference room.
Min Jingchao wanted to have a meeting to finalize the operation plan.
Before the meeting began, Jin Yong had already told the various managers that Min Jingchao had divided the games operated by Long Yu Corporation into three categories. He also introduced the general direction of modification for each type of game.
Min Jingchao was the one who had set the direction, but the specific details of the modification had to be completed by the managers.
What's more, Min Jingchao wanted to hear the opinions and suggestions of the various managers.
"If you have any opinions or suggestions regarding the new operation plan, you can raise them."
"If you feel that the modification plan is not good for the game itself, you must point it out in time. Or if you have any additional opinions, you can speak up boldly. Everyone can speak freely and discuss. "
Min Jingchao's attitude was very humble, which surprised all the managers.
One had to know that Min Jingchao had interacted with Long Yu Corporation when he was at Sun Strike Studios.
At that time, the impression that Min Jingchao had left on the staff was that he was domineering. He rarely changed his mind, and he would not even give in!
They did not expect Min Jingchao's attitude to be very friendly today. He even asked for everyone's opinions?
That made all the managers in charge of operations in disbelief!
They did not know if Min Jingchao's attitude of asking for opinions was sincere or was it just for show?
However, since Min Jingchao had already given them a chance to speak, the managers raised their hands and expressed their opinions.
The first manager to speak was obviously prepared. He said bluntly, "In the plan, many games that are already hopeless still have to be modified drastically. Is there really any point in that?"
"These games are either completely outdated, or there are irreversible flaws in the game itself!"
"Modifying these games will require a huge amount of manpower. After modifying them, we might not be able to reap good benefits. In my opinion, we should maintain the original plan and quickly squeeze out all the potential before giving up! "
"Instead of spending time on these modifications, we might as well gather our resources and develop a new game!"
As soon as he said that, many of the other people in charge of operations also expressed their agreement.
However, Min Jingchao smiled and shook his head. "You can't think of it that way!"
"The game industry is a creative industry. For a game, configuration and graphics are of course very important. They determine the first impression players have of it. But at the end of the day, the soul of the game is still its gameplay and rules! "
"Many new games have been developed painstakingly for a year, but things don't look good after they're released. They're dead after three months of drastic changes. It's mainly because there's a problem with the game's gameplay and operational thinking. No matter how good the graphics are, there's no way to save it! "
"Many evergreen games are clearly two or three years behind the times, but they are still very popular, and their popularity can even continue perfectly. This is because they have chosen the right gameplay and operating ideas."
"If that's the case, then it's possible for the old game to have a second spring through appropriate modifications!"
"I think the crux of Long Yu Corporation is not the amount of resources or the size of its game library."
"In terms of resources, Long Yu Corporation is already the top distributor in the country. They do not lack games, much less good games."
"If that's the case, what's the difference between having one more game and one less game? What's the difference between earning more money and earning less money? "
"The crux of Long Yu Corporation is the entire company's operational thinking! They're too eager for quick success and rely too much on data! They only know how to rely on data, but they rarely analyze the players' needs from the perspective of a designer. They also rarely analyze the characteristics of the game itself! "
"Therefore, this is not just to extend the lives of a few games that are about to die out, nor is it to accomplish some great feat of defying the heavens and changing fate. Instead, we are using these games to gradually reverse this wrong concept of operation!"
"If there's a problem with the game, we can't just throw caution to the wind. We have to treat the problem!"
"What if two or three of the games are brought back to life and their popularity gradually increases? Wouldn't that be a profit?"
"Even if all the changes fail, we can still accumulate valuable experience. If we don't experiment on games that are about to die out, are we going to experiment on games that are making money? "
Min Jingchao's point had obviously convinced the person-in-charge of operations. He nodded and kept quiet.
Min Jingchao glanced at a person-in-charge who wanted to say something but hesitated. He gestured for him to speak his mind.
The person-in-charge stood up and said, "I didn't expect you to give such a modification plan for the first type of game."
"I thought you would be like GOG or Bullet Hole 2 …"
Min Jingchao smiled. "Do you think I will forcefully change these games to a conscientious charging model?"
"Of course not!"
"As a game operator, the most important thing is to analyze specific problems. Every game has its own unique characteristics. You can't just change it randomly! "
"These games are very popular and have a large number of players. Many of these players have already spent a large amount of money in the game."
"The game is already a strict and rigorous ecosystem. If we rashly destroy this system, it will be very harmful to the players!"
"We have to do things step by step for such games. It might take several versions or even a year or two to change them from an extreme environment to a better environment!"
"Therefore, we can't rush this matter. I might support Tengda's conscientious operating model, but I won't make such a mistake."
After that, a few more person-in-charge raised their own questions. Min Jingchao patiently answered them one by one.
These were all experienced operations persons-in-charge. They already had preconceived operating concepts in their hearts. These deep-rooted operating concepts naturally conflicted with Min Jingchao's views.
Min Jingchao managed to convince them easily with the operational concepts he had learned in Tengda and his own successful experience in GOG and Bullet Hole 2.
Jin Yong sighed. "I didn't expect you to explain these problems so patiently. If it were me, I might force them to carry it out directly! "
Min Jingchao smiled tiredly. "We have to discuss and unify our thoughts first before we can carry out the follow-up work!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a hindrance if everyone agreed verbally but did not cooperate in private and could not carry out the work properly?"
"Even in Tengda, every person-in-charge can raise questions at any time when Boss Pei assigns work, and Boss Pei will answer them patiently."
"Boss Pei would only refuse to answer questions that are not convenient for the time being and require the person-in-charge to figure out on his own."
"Boss Pei's attitude towards this has always been not to be afraid of questioning and discussion. Only through constant questioning and discussion will the truth gradually emerge!"
"If Boss Pei can maintain a gentle style of doing things, what right do I have to have a say?"
At the mention of Boss Pei, everyone in the conference room, including Min Jingchao, showed an expression of admiration.
If Boss Pei was there, probably no one present would raise any questions. Instead, they would strictly follow Boss Pei's instructions.
However, according to Min Jingchao, Boss Pei still attached great importance to listening to others' opinions even though his insights and abilities in most areas were higher than everyone else's.
Perhaps only an excellent leader like Boss Pei could cultivate an excellent subordinate like Min Jingchao!
At this point in the meeting, all the amendments were basically passed.
Every person-in-charge received their own tasks. According to Min Jingchao's requirements, they each came up with an operation plan and then held a meeting to discuss the new plan.
After assigning tasks, Min Jingchao continued. "We'll do the plan after the meeting. Now, let's move on to the next topic!"
"On the workflow."
"I require all departments and individuals who have business dealings with Tengda's cooperation department to use Tengda's latest office software, ARS!"
"Everyone can go back and slowly study the basic functions of this office software. However, I have a few requirements first. "
"This software will count the number of work-related messages sent during off-duty hours. If too many work-related messages are sent, it will automatically issue a notice of criticism and send a copy to me!"
"The person-in-charge must pay special attention to the process. If you do not follow the process to issue tasks, the responsibility will not lie with the employee but the person-in-charge!"
"After using this office software, you have to strictly follow the office software's prescribed time to work! You can't arrive early or leave late. This checkpoint list is the most standard requirement for employees. "
"If employees are found to arrive early or leave late, or even continue to work after the checkpoint, it will be an additional crime and must be severely punished!"
As soon as this was said, the person-in-charge in the room expressed his surprise.
"Ah, this … is not very good, right?"
"This is too inflexible! What if some employees are at a critical juncture in their work and don't want to disconnect and accidentally leave a little later? "
"That's right. Our company has always implemented a flexible working system. Many employees often arrive at the company after 10 AM. I'm afraid many people will not be able to adapt to such a rigid schedule!"
"In my opinion, why don't we take it step by step? Give everyone a month to gradually adapt to this kind of work and rest before slowly changing it?"
Min Jingchao said firmly, "No!"
"My plan is to see results within two weeks! How can we have so much time to gradually adapt to it in a month? "
"You can raise any opinions you have on the operation plan. You can compromise on issues that are not principled. However, there is no room for discussion on the issue of working hours and workflow! "
"Anyone who dares to disobey will be dealt with according to the rules. There will be no tolerance!"
Min Jingchao's seriousness made the person-in-charge look at each other.
Sure enough, Min Jingchao's kind face just now was all an act. This was his true face!
Tengda's person-in-charge was more stubborn than the most stubborn cow once they encountered a problem of principle. No one could persuade them!
The atmosphere in the conference room gradually became tense. Jin Yong coughed lightly and said, "I've already said it so clearly. Why aren't you going to carry it out? Make it clear to all your subordinates that no one can arrive early or leave late. They have to strictly follow the rules of this software to clock in. If there are any problems, you will be held responsible. Do you understand? "
The person-in-charge nodded and left the conference room.
When most of them had left, Jin Yong lowered his voice and said, "Brother Min, I can tell that you're here to make drastic changes this time!"
"However, I have to give you a heads-up in advance."
"These person-in-charge are easy to deal with. Those who are difficult to deal with are above."
Obviously, Jin Yong was hinting at Boss Ding.
Min Jingchao smiled easily. "Don't worry! If he dares to stop me, I naturally have a way to deal with him! "
