Chapter 491 395. Qing Zhiyuan is too scary

There will be no layoffs, but that does not mean that Qingzhiyuan will not integrate departmental resources.

So after he took office, he and Nakayama Hayao held several meetings and communicated countless times, and finally reached a unified understanding.

In the past, Sega's division was too expanded. Due to the failure on the Saturn, the company directly established many sub-studio and let them develop their own independent games. In other words, Sega's strategy is-

When there are not enough third parties to join Saturn, then let the company's development department be split, so as to achieve the effect of stacking the number of games. Multiple different departments make different types of games. It seems that there is no What a big problem.

But in fact, this strategy dispersed Sega's own resources and made many people do jobs they were not good at.

Most of Sega's game producers and developers are better at arcade-type games rather than long-term narrative RPGs.

In addition to these, the hardware development department is also a mess.

Such an organizational structure firstly makes it inconvenient to integrate and allocate resources; secondly, it allows everyone to work independently; thirdly, it forces everyone to enter unfamiliar fields, which consumes enthusiasm and wastes talents.

No wonder Sega is deteriorating. In fact, there is still a problem in management.

If we continue like this, won't we just keep losing blood?

The multi-department, multi-studio strategy looks a bit like the incubation model experienced by Qing Zhiyuan in his previous life at E.com or Penguin.

The so-called incubation model is equivalent to letting you fend for yourself. Invest a little money in you first. If it can be done, continue to invest. If it does not meet expectations, it will be cut off.

It is equivalent to raising a lot of pet eggs, and if you are lucky, you can see which one can explode gold coins. If you are not lucky, you will smash all the eggs.

From the perspective of risk control, there is nothing wrong with this approach, because you don’t know what will happen in the future, so you might as well cast a wide net and try more, what if one succeeds?

However, the result is also very likely that everyone is malnourished and leads to death.

The golden coin chicken that may have appeared originally disappeared before it grew up, and you can't tell whether this strategy is good or bad.

When the company has sufficient capital reserves and faces future uncertainty, this approach seems feasible.

But when the company's resources are relatively scarce, it seems a bit unrealistic to want to feed so many children.

For a time traveler like Qing Zhiyuan, he already knows the changes in the world in the next few decades, so why should he engage in an incubation model?

At this time, it is inappropriate to rely on the mentality of buying lottery tickets to run a company.

Qing Zhiyuan promised President Okawa Isao not to lay off employees, but he did not say that department integration and adjustment could not be carried out.

So after discussing and communicating with President Hayao Nakayama, he decided to make the necessary drastic reforms to Sega.

First, all Sega's hardware departments were brought together, and Pokeni's hardware department was also moved over to establish a dedicated hardware development subsidiary.

This company only does two things, one is DC game consoles, and the other is to prepare for future handheld console development.

The future function will be dedicated to hardware.

Secondly, Sega's game subsidiary was reorganized into a game department, and different studios were opened under it. Currently, they are focusing on developing Shenmue. If the other games are relatively high in completion, they will continue to work on them. If the degree of completion is relatively low, Qing Zhiyuan even looks at it. If you are bound to lose money, just cut it off.

The personnel structure has been flattened. There are no longer multi-level leaders and multi-level studio departments. Only department heads and necessary producers are established.

Other programmers do not belong to the studio, but all belong to the programming department, and personnel are deployed as needed.

The same goes for art and planning.

It is equivalent to setting up multiple talent pools in different departments, and then the producers will set up the project, apply and deploy to these pools, allocate the required talents accordingly, and form a project team for development. After the project development is completed They each returned to the pool.

The advantage of this is to reduce communication costs and hierarchical structure, while allowing various departments to share technology and differentiate content, that is, to avoid reinventing the wheel.

At the same time, because of the large pool's deployment mechanism, there will be no situation where some projects are particularly short of manpower, while other projects are extremely idle, and human resources can be utilized to the maximum extent.

This set of models is also being used after pokeni's reorganization.

Reduce unnecessary resource expenditures and concentrate our efforts. Once Sega's internal structure is optimized, its future financial situation will slowly recover.

After integrating the company's internal resources, the next thing Qing Zhiyuan did was to stop the company's bleeding projects.

Cut many unnecessary games. At the same time, in early July, Qing Zhiyuan announced a surprising news——

"Given Sega's operating conditions and the failure of the Sega Saturn, the console was no longer viable.

Sega will permanently cease production of the Sega Saturn. "

Since every game console sold will result in a loss of 5,000 yen or 6,000 yen, this project is not worth continuing.

After stopping Saturn, all efforts can be concentrated on DC's research and development.

The day after the news was released, the country erupted in mourning.

"What?! Is the Saturn no longer produced?! Does that mean Sega has completely withdrawn from the game console market?"

"What should I do? I feel so uncomfortable. The Saturn is obviously a good game console. I like many of the games developed on it."

"I love the "Dream Simulator" series so much. It is really a masterpiece of war and chess games. I still play it over and over again. But you said it is no longer in production? Then I want to give this game to my friends in the future. What should I do if so?"

"Sakura Wars! Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Age of Discovery... are actually very classic games on Saturn? Not enough to support it, right?"

"Uuuuuuuuuah, I really want to cry to death. Although I had a premonition last year that Saturn might not be able to support it, I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."

"When I heard the news, I felt bad. The Sega Saturn is the game console that carries my dreams. Do you mean to say goodbye to the game console market in the future?

I've always loved Sega. Is this coming to an end? "

"Damn it, this must be the fault of that idiot Qing Zhiyuan. He had to stop the Sega Saturn just after acquiring Sega. What a bastard!"

"Qing Zhiyuan is killing our dreams."

"..."

But in fact, Qing Zhiyuan only said that he would stop the production of the Sega Saturn. He did not mention a word about whether to develop future game consoles or whether Sega would withdraw from the game console market in the future. It was just because the Saturn was gone, which led to The players' imaginations are running wild.

Everyone can't help but be immersed in pessimism.

But there seems to be a glimmer of hope amid the pessimism.

Many players called Qing Zhiyuan a scumbag.

It's like a girl waiting at home for her boyfriend to come to her door. She receives a call from the boy saying that he won't be coming this morning.

But will you come over at night? But he didn't say it clearly.

You're both worried that he won't come over, and you're also afraid that he'll come over.

What a shameless scumbag!

Players expressed pessimism about Qing Zhiyuan's suspension of Sega Saturn production, and were worried and uneasy.

But people in the industry can immediately smell something unusual.

When Hiroshi Yamauchi from Rententian saw the relevant news, his first reaction was——

"It's over. After Qing Zhiyuan takes over Sega, Sega is really going to take off."

Miyamoto Shigeru nodded with sigh, agreeing with Yamauchi Hiroshi's judgment.

"After Qing Zhiyuan took over, he moved very quickly. According to employees within Sega, he not only stopped the production of SS, but also cut off many projects.

The department was restructured, causing many members to be dissatisfied and complaining. "

"Haha, there are so many complaints." Yamauchi Pu sneered twice, "That's an exaggeration, and they can't understand Qing Zhiyuan's thunder skills.

According to my opinion, Qing Zhiyuan is a very scary and amazing manager. "

This situation is equivalent to a soldier fighting in the battlefield being hit in the thigh. As a result, the leg becomes infected. If the leg is not amputated, it may spread to the whole body and cause death.

But in the past, neither Hayao Nakayama nor Isao Okawa could do this. Thinking about having to saw off one of your own legs, it was not a little heartbreaking.

Qing Zhiyuan was not worried about this at all. He, a foreign doctor, amputated the infected thigh in just three strokes. But what?

After losing its thigh, Sega was able to grow new flesh, and perhaps it could even regenerate its severed limb in the future.

This is something that requires courage.

"This guy Qing Zhiyuan is better than I thought!"

Yamauchi Pu couldn't help but marvel.

It was simply an iron-blooded approach, fast, accurate and ruthless, showing no mercy at all. It cut through the mess with a sharp knife and Sega was able to straighten it out in no time.

"It seems like we have really met a strong opponent!"

The previous pokeni, or Sega, taken apart individually, although they are very powerful guys in their respective fields, they are not so scary.

After being brought together now, Qing Zhiyuan's reforms directly brought the two companies together and became a complete entity.

It is conceivable how powerful Sega and Pokeni will be in the future under the leadership of Qing Zhiyuan.

"To be honest, Qing Zhiyuan is much more powerful than I thought."

In the evening, when I was having dinner with Kutaragi Ken,

Hideki Sato marveled.

Kutaragi Ken couldn't help but frowned severely.

This guy……

"Looking at you, it seems that you quite admire him? I saw that you were not satisfied with being acquired before?" Kutaragi Ken asked with a smile.

"Well," Sato Hideki nodded seriously, silently took a sip of wine, and said in wonder, "I did think so at first.

As a third party that makes games, how does Qing Zhiyuan have the ability to guide hardware development?

At first glance, he seems to be a very flamboyant man. If he really wants to get involved in various fields, he will obviously step on landmines.

But in actual contact, it is not the case. "

Sato Hideki's eyes were twinkling, and when he recalled every communication and contact with Gengqing Zhiyuan during this period, he felt it was particularly magical.

"This man seems to have endless creativity in his head, and his familiarity with software and hardware far exceeds my imagination, especially when he brought it up..."

Having said this, Sato Hideki opened his eyes and couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the hungry look on Kutaragi Ken's face.

"Why should I tell you? These are company secrets."

"Ah... Hideki-san! Aren't I thinking about you?" Kutaragi Ken sat back with some disappointment, thinking that this guy is good at everything, but his tone is still so tight.

"Think about it, if Qing Zhiyuan hadn't intervened, you might be the president of Sega now.

If it were me, I would definitely feel extremely angry.

Why are you still smiling and speaking for Qing Zhiyuan? "

"In short, Qing Zhiyuan is more powerful than I imagined. I am completely convinced."

Hideki Sato said.

"But he cut down many departments in the company, and I heard that many employees were complaining."

"No, no, those are just one-sided opinions, rumors, and nonsense from the outside world!" Hideki Sato shook the cup in his hand, as if he wanted to see some wonderful scenes inside, "Seriously, if Qing Zhiyuan acquires Sega After that, if no changes are made, I will still look down on him.

At most, it will become the next President Okawa, and without any changes to Sega, it will fall into the abyss sooner or later.

However, Qing Zhiyuan's random chop cut off Sega's legs, and at the same time caused the hands that were holding us to fall into the abyss to fall.

From then on, Sega's burden became lighter and it was time to move up. "

Having said this, Sato Hideki couldn't help but laugh, his eyes shining.

That is really the light of hope.

Kutaragi Ken couldn't help being shocked.

The Sato now and the Sato a month ago are two completely different people.

Before this, Kutaragi Ken had felt the charm of Qing Zhiyuan, but he had never been so shocked.

Does he have magic?

How come Kung Fu has subdued this guy Sato right now?

"Then what should you do? You don't want to be the president anymore?" Kutaragi Ken asked unwillingly.

Sato Hideki smiled slightly, "The prerequisite for being a president is naturally having Sega. If Sega disappears, why should I be a president?"

He had a premonition, and this premonition was getting stronger——

After Qing Zhiyuan's troubles, Sega will glow with new vitality.

In a few years, when President Nakayama retires, Qing Zhiyuan will hand over a vibrant and energetic Sega into his hands.

The greatest motivation for employees is to make them feel that the company is on the rise and the future is full of hope all the time.

The more hope there is, the more motivation there is to stay and fight for it.

This is the case with Hideki Sato now.
