May 25th, Saturday …
CEO Ding came to his office with a gloomy expression and called his assistant over.
"Call Jin Yong over."
The assistant looked troubled. "CEO Ding, it's Saturday today. Jin Yong didn't come to the office."
CEO Ding was stunned.
It felt like this had happened before?
Ever since Min Jingchao came, Jin Yong was no longer a workaholic.
His working hours became regular. Just like the other people in charge of operations, he would leave immediately after work and not stay for a minute longer.
CEO Ding was silent for a moment before raising his voice. "Then call CEO Kang over!"
He was puzzled. Why was Jin Yong not around every time he looked for him?
This was normal as CEO Ding would always look for him during non-working hours.
It was common for executives to look for their subordinates during their breaks.
During working hours, the employees were working hard and could not be disturbed.
However, during the afternoon, evening, and weekends, many employees might slip away. Therefore, looking for employees during this time could not only check on them but also not affect their daily work. This was what the executives and bosses loved to do!
Many bosses even had a special working hours.
The boss would definitely not come in the morning. Whether he was resting at home or going out to discuss business, the company had a check-in machine watching over the employees. The possibility of them skipping work was very low.
However, when it was time to knock off, these bosses would all come to the office and pretend to work late into the night.
The reason was simple. They wanted to see which department was not enthusiastic about working overtime!
CEO Ding had the same routine. On the surface, it looked like he worked overtime until 10 PM. However, in reality, he was not around most of the time during the day.
Only he knew what he was doing during the day!
If Jin Yong strictly followed Min Jingchao's instructions and got off work during normal hours, he would not be found.
CEO Ding could only call CEO Kang over.
Strictly speaking, HR Director Kang was in charge of human resources. He did not know much about the operations of the game.
However, there was no helping it. Those who knew did not come to work!
CEO Ding only called CEO Kang to vent his frustrations. He did not expect CEO Kang to solve any real problems.
"Old Kang, the operation plan is out. The new version is online and the data is out. However, all the data is declining! "
"There must be a problem!"
"Putting everything else aside, not a single person came to work the day after the new version was released. Isn't this a little too much?"
Director Kang rolled his eyes in his heart and was about to push the blame away. "Director Ding, why don't you give Min Jingchao a call and ask him to call everyone back?"
The corner of Chairman Ding's mouth twitched. He choked back the blame that Chairman Kang had thrown at him.
He knew in his heart that calling Min Jingchao would be a waste of effort, and he would even be asking for humiliation!
"But we can't … sit back and do nothing!" Chairman Ding's anger refused to dissipate so easily.
Seeing that Chairman Ding was terrified, Chairman Kang snickered in his heart and said patiently, "Chairman Ding, since this matter has been handed over to Min Jingchao, he must have his own plans. We can't see anything from the short-term data. After all, only two weeks have passed. Let's wait a little longer."
Chairman Ding nodded his head helplessly and waved his hand, gesturing for Chairman Kang to leave.
Before CEO Kang could take two steps, he was stopped by CEO Ding.
"Wait, Old Kang, I think something's not right." Chairman Ding pondered for a moment. "Why do I feel like you're working together to make me a figurehead?"
Boss Kang was stunned. "Why would you have such a thought?"
Chairman Ding said angrily, "No matter what I say, whether it's you or Jin Yong, you've pushed the problem to Min Jingchao."
"Then, are you listening to me or Min Jingchao? Or do you think I'm afraid of Min Jingchao? "
Boss Kang smiled. "Of course we'll listen to you! Why don't … you fire Min Jingchao directly? Then, we can change it however we want. It's all up to you! "
Boss Ding was speechless. "I …"
In fact, there was no need to fire him. He just had to terminate the cooperation agreement with Tengda.
However, the termination of the agreement required the unanimous approval of all the upper echelons. Boss Ding could not make the decision alone!
The key was that the current decline in the data and the changes in the financial report were not enough to convince all the upper echelons to make this decision.
Boss Ding could only shift his personal anger to the bigger picture. He pretended to be pained and said, "Sigh, this won't do!"
"I've said it before. Min Jingchao is arrogant now. He's carving a boat to seek a sword and applying it mechanically! He doesn't understand the objective situation of Long Yu Corporation, so he forced himself to follow Tengda Corporation's rules of working on time. "
"Look, many players don't mean what they say. They say they welcome him, but in fact, they prefer to play the game of forcing him to spend money!"
"I dare say that this data will definitely decline within a week! That's because most players will start to lose their sense of novelty after the initial improvement craze passes. Simply relying on conscience will not be able to retain players! "
"I'm also afraid that Boss Pei's undefeated legend will be destroyed in Min Jingchao's hands. That's why I wanted to remind him!"
"In the end, he's good! He's as stubborn as a steel weight and won't listen to a single word of advice. I asked you to pass a message to him, but you're also using all sorts of excuses. In the long run, who will be responsible if this matter is messed up? "
Boss Kang smiled. "Don't worry! If it's really messed up, the one who loses the most is Boss Pei. What are you worried about? "
Boss Ding sighed helplessly. "Sigh, alright, we'll see next week!"
…
…
May 27th, Monday …
For the first time, Boss Ding came to the office during working hours in the morning.
Previously, he only came when it was almost time to knock off. In the end, he came empty-handed every time.
This time, he deliberately came in the morning to see what these employees were doing!
Would Min Jingchao's plan work?!
At the entrance of the office, Boss Ding saw everyone methodically punching in at 9 AM.
Boss Ding shook his head slightly and sighed in his heart. This kind of work attitude is hopeless!
He was a little regretful now. Inviting Min Jingchao over did not seem like the right choice.
If Min Jingchao had only come up with ideas to change the operation plan, he would not have suffered a loss no matter what. However, Min Jingchao had turned the entire office's working atmosphere into a mess!
Once Min Jingchao left, wouldn't he, Boss Ding, have to clean up the mess himself?
Thinking about this, Boss Ding felt terrible.
Even though he felt terrible, Boss Ding did not flare up immediately. He only went to his office and drank his tea gloomily.
Before he could calm down, someone knocked on the office door.
Jin Yong walked in.
Boss Ding's already bad mood surged into his chest!
Good lord, it's not easy to see Jin Yong!
He sent Jin Yong to help Min Jingchao because he felt that Jin Yong was a reliable and hardworking person. He was an old employee of the company and was trustworthy.
He wanted him to go over in hopes that he could restrain Min Jingchao. At the very least, he would not be led by the nose by the other party.
Jin Yong, on the other hand, was helping an outsider and wholeheartedly accompanying Min Jingchao!
As Jin Yong's direct leader, Boss Ding could not even find him, let alone give him a mission.
This was the first time Jin Yong had taken the initiative to report to Boss Ding after Min Jingchao came to Long Yu Corporation.
Boss Ding thought that Jin Yong was finding an excuse to explain because the data was not good.
At that thought, he immediately put on a stern face and put on airs. "What's the matter?"
Jin Yong naturally did not know what Boss Ding was thinking. He went straight to the point. "Boss Ding, I would like to report to you about the recent operation data of our games."
Boss Ding's expression did not change, but he sneered in his heart. "Yes, tell me."
Jin Yong handed over the report that he had prepared in advance. "From the situation last weekend, the players of these games had a slight decrease in their online time and per capita spending."
Boss Ding nodded slightly and sneered. This was exactly what he had expected.
However, Jin Yong's next words made Boss Ding unable to smile.
"However, the growth of new players, discussion rates, retention rates, and other data of these games have all increased significantly!"
"Also, the ratings of all the games in the game store and application store have increased significantly."
Boss Ding was stunned. "Huh?"
He flipped open the report in disbelief and carefully checked the relevant data. In the end, he realized that everything Jin Yong said was true!
What did that mean?
Even though the players' online time and per capita spending had decreased slightly, the game's reputation had improved significantly. With the improvement of its reputation, it had led to the influx of new players and the retention of old players.
In other words, the game had become more lively!
In Boss Ding's understanding, this situation was too unscientific!
That was because players were already used to playing hard and spending money. They might not be able to take it if they were to suddenly reduce the burden.
Players were already used to playing for ten hours a day. Now that it had suddenly changed to six hours, what were they supposed to do with the remaining four hours?
They could only play other games!
Wouldn't it be easy for players to be snatched away by other games if this continued?
It would be even stranger if the game's reputation improved.
That was because Long Yu Games had been scolded for a long time. However, being scolded did not affect earning money. This bad reputation had been with Long Yu Games for a long time. How was it possible to reverse it in a short period of time?
The only explanation was that Min Jingchao and his plan had caused a much greater impact than Boss Ding had imagined.
Not only had this improvement plan changed the players' impression of Long Yu Corporation's games, but it had also developed in a good direction!
Boss Ding could not help but recall the complaints he had made to Boss Kang last Saturday.
At that time, he had said very confidently that the data would continue to decline within a week. He had even said that Min Jingchao was carving a boat to seek a sword. He had forcefully applied Tengda's working model to Long Yu Corporation, and it would definitely not be able to adapt!
However, the new data had slapped him in the face!
A small portion of the data was still declining, but most of the data was rising. What's more, with the influx of new users, the revenue level would rise back to its original height sooner or later.
What was the most important thing for a game that continued to operate? Of course, new players were the most important!
Without new players, this game would be like water without a source, a tree without roots. It would only be a matter of time before it died.
What's more, from the report, this improvement plan was not only effective for popular games.
A few games that were about to die out had also shown obvious improvements in their data under the drastic reform.
Boss Ding was very dissatisfied with this result. He felt that something was wrong, but he could not find a reason to refute it. That was because the data would not lie!
When he used the data to strangle the operations team and make them change the game more painstakingly, he had never thought that the operations team would use the data to strangle him and tell him that they were right!
That left Boss Ding at a loss.
He had wanted to use the declining data to teach Jin Yong a lesson. However, he could only swallow his words in the face of such data.
He looked at Jin Yong and then at the data report in his hand. The fluctuations in his heart made his expression very interesting.
