Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

To be honest, Xu Xing did think that Tencent would ask headhunters to recruit people privately.

But I didn't expect it to be so soon.

However, in the face of this routine, he was still calm and just asked: "All seven people have resigned? Is there any loss?"

"These are all resignation applications that were just submitted today. They are temporarily stuck on the grounds of vacation." Gong Ao curled his lips and pulled up a chair to sit down. "But the core members will not be affected. Even if Tencent poaches people,

, and I can’t get any valuable information.”

In the game department, project bonuses alone may amount to tens of thousands a month.

When recruiting people in the past, as long as the performance met the requirements, after the project was completed, 10% of the game's revenue and profits in the first three months would be distributed to employees as project bonuses.

There are currently only about ten people in a project team. If divided into each month, this number is really not small.

However, although the total bonus is 10%, it is also sorted according to the time when each employee entered the company, their daily performance, and the importance of their specific job functions. It is not distributed equally to everyone.

The two people poached from the game department this time were employees who were recruited one after another, and their bonus priority was not high.

The bonuses will not be paid out monthly until three months after the game is launched. It is not paid out all at once, and it can also bind employees to the company's warship.

So under the inducement of headhunters, some people still choose to leave.

As for Liao Qinyu and Dai Zhuoshan, because the project itself has not yet generated profits, there are no additional bonuses, but the basic salary and performance are slightly higher than those in the game department.

Moreover, as long as the core team is composed of old subordinates brought by Liao Qinyu and Dai Zhuoshan from a certain company, they will not be poached so easily.

The few people poached are all new employees and do not involve actual internal secrets.

Including the development and internal positioning of several functions of WeChat Assistant, even internally, Liao Qinyu has always only said that it is a game platform. He took the lead and led several core members to work on the subsequent key update functions explained by Xu Xing.

"I went to Kyoto this time and invested in several companies that are engaged in cloud computing and big data. Then I can build an internal system for the company." Xu Xing held a pen in his hand and said after thinking, "Where are the resigned employees?

, let Yao Yuanyuan go talk to people, and legal affairs will also follow up. Since we have signed a non-competition agreement and confidentiality clause before, we will follow the process."

"Okay." Gong Ao had no objection to this and just added, "The company system will definitely take some time. It is best to go through all the internal documents and information recently and classify them into levels for confidentiality. The core data is only

Only then can we watch.”

"Let Dai Zhuoshan be responsible for this." When Xu Xing said this, Liao Qinyu and Dai Zhuoshan had already come in, so he directly said to Dai Zhuoshan, "Put aside the tasks at hand for the past two days and screen the company's internal data.

Good classification and confidentiality, and the due vigilance is still necessary.”

Dai Zhuoshan nodded and explained the situation of the poached employees to Liao Qinyu. After confirming that there was no serious problem, he started to get to the main topic of today's work.

…

On the other side, Tencent Group is within the QQ operation and promotion department under the social network business group.

In Director Zhu Dewen's office, a subordinate submitted a document report.

Zhu Dewen took the document and started to read it briefly. After browsing for a few minutes, he tapped his fingers on the table and threw the document on the table.

"Just dug out this bit of information?" Zhu Dewen asked indifferently, "Isn't the headhunting company still hiding it?"

"It shouldn't be the case, our cooperative relationship is still very solid." The employee said, "It's at Qunxing Company. The game department's project bonuses are very generous, and generally not many people are willing to come out. WeChat Assistant and another one are doing news push

For business, the main members are subordinates of the senior management, so it is not easy to recruit them.”

"News push..." Zhu Dewen picked up the file again and looked through it, but he couldn't see what was so clever about this mobile push method specifically for users.

After all, the current domestic search field is still dominated by a certain degree of the world. It seems a bit whimsical to Zhu Dewen to rely on such crooked ways to gnaw a piece of meat.

However, he still made a note of it and planned to mention it in subsequent meetings.

Then he asked: "There are already 500,000 registered users of WeChat Assistant? Can this increase be confirmed?"

"It's basically confirmed that this data can be directly searched internally." The employee said, "And with the support of three games, the growth rate of this game platform is indeed considerable, but it is also expected."

"Well..." Zhu Dewen looked at the summary above and analyzed the various advantages and disadvantages of WeChat Assistant in terms of gaming platforms. After thinking for a moment, Zhu Dewen recorded a few more items beside it.

But obviously, the people they poached did not involve core internal members. They had no idea what the actual goal of WeChat Assistant was, and they simply thought that WeChat Assistant was a game distribution channel.

As for the chat function that comes with WeChat Assistant, many softwares have this thing. In addition, the project leader Liao Qinyu was previously responsible for the development of social software at a certain degree, so it was useless to shoehorn a chat function into the new project.

It’s considered normal.

However, in Zhu Dewen's opinion, this chat function is a bit unnecessary and dispensable for the game center. On the contrary, it seems to be a bit redundant now.

"Then Director Zhu, are you going to continue digging in the future?" the employee asked.

"No need for the time being." Zhu Dewen put down the document again, then said with a thoughtful smile, "You can mention it to the headhunting company and let them give some advice. Now we have poached three talents, maybe internally

There are people too."

Although major companies will poach each other and sign various confidentiality agreements, in actual implementation, unless they are particularly core members, the control will not be very strict.

As long as you don't deliberately leak the data and secrets of the original company after resigning, you won't be particularly targeted. At most, you will be stuck in the resignation process.

The three of them, Liao Qinyu, were not well received within Somedu. After resigning, although there was a non-compete agreement before, Somedu had no intention of paying compensation in the future, so Qunxing Company was not worried about this.

It's just that Zhu Dewen's move is quite disgusting, and it is harmful to others but not self-interested.

After the employees left the office, Zhu Dewen prepared the meeting materials. Seeing that there was still some time before the meeting, he continued to sit and think, and added a few more strokes on the paper.

For small companies like this, poaching people is just one of the methods.

In addition, some trolls guide public opinion, go to other games in the name of game players to cause trouble, arrange for players to cause malicious damage in the game, or find bugs and loopholes in game recharges and activities.

There has been a big stir. Specially made plug-ins for games are secretly spread on the Internet for free, and they can simply do some hacking attacks on the system.

In short, there are many tricks, it just depends on whether Qunxing Company is qualified and worth Tencent's efforts to deal with it.

After all, Tencent doesn't only have Qunxing Company in its eyes. There are many more threatening competitors, and it is impossible to only focus on Xu Xing.

…

"Gong Ao will first be responsible for team expansion in the past two days, and then pull up the teams for the two parkour projects."

While Zhu Dewen was analyzing Qunxing Company, Xu Xing was also laying out the next planning plan.

"Then I have three new projects here, two of which will be handed over to you." Xu Xing said, taking out the planning plans for the two parkour projects from the drawer and giving them to Gong Ao, and then added, "The new

The project planning will be given to you in two days."

"Three new projects?" Gong Ao's eyes shone, and then he said dissatisfied, "Why just give it to the two of us? In fact, I can handle all three."

"There is also a dress-up mobile game for women. It is mainly an attempt to expand and explore the female market." Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and teased, "Are you sure you are responsible?"

"Uh..." Although Gong Ao doesn't discriminate against this kind of game, he still doesn't like dress-up games. "Forget it, but what are the two new projects?"

"A music game and a tower defense." Xu Xing briefly mentioned it, then pondered again, "Well... there are some projects later, but simultaneous advancement is still too demanding, and I guess you are not interested either."

"What?" Gong Ao was so unsatisfied that he made him want to eat. "Mr. Xu, let's not talk half-heartedly. It'll be fine if we just talk."

"It's nothing, just the mobile version of Match Game and Snake." Xu Xing shrugged, and added, "There are also piano keys and jumping lines from music games, and there are also puzzle games.

Cut the rope, crocodiles love to take baths, including traditional poker like Landlord."

"Anyway, take your time. You still have to walk step by step. Don't be too anxious."

"In the future, the size of mobile games will definitely increase as network speeds increase and mobile phone performance improves."

"In addition to making good games now, it is more important to accumulate technology and experience to prepare for future large-scale mobile games."

"Large-scale mobile games..." Gong Ao heard what he said. Even though it came from Mr. Xu, he still felt it was a bit unreliable. "With the current performance of mobile phones, if you want to host large-scale mobile games in the true sense,

, I guess it will take more than ten years?"

"Moreover, mobile phone operation does not have as many keys as a computer keyboard. It is still very challenging to simplify the operation of large-scale games."

"It feels a bit far away for us to think about this now."

"It's okay." Xu Xing smiled, but did not argue with him about this. "It's just a rainy day. Let's make preparations consciously. Don't think too much about anything else."

This year, 3G networks are still in full popularization, and many people’s mobile phones even have 2G networks.

And wait until next year and the year after next, 4G network will quickly hit, accelerating the reshuffle in the mobile game field.

The major mobile phone manufacturers are also improving one by one. The performance of mobile phones has increased rapidly in the next few years, which has also provided a foundation for mobile phones to support large-scale games.

On the other hand, the development and progress of cloud technology are also further promoting the development of cloud games.

In the future, when people want to run larger mobile games on their mobile phones, they may no longer have to worry about memory network speed and mobile phone performance. They can directly connect to cloud games and run any game smoothly.

What Tianshu Games has to do is to accurately follow the pulse of the times and always be one step ahead.

After explaining the game, Gong Ao stood up and prepared to continue working.

However, when he reached the door and was about to go out, he did not forget to turn around and remind him: "Mr. Xu, remember to lock your two drawers. It is best to buy a safe and lock up all the important documents, otherwise they will be stolen maliciously.

It would be bad if we left."

"Uh..." When Xu Xing heard what he said, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Xiao Peng to buy one."

Although Xu Xing didn't think it was necessary, after all, most of the documents inside were blank, just for show.

But considering the poaching incident at Tencent today, Xu Xing felt that what Gong Ao said made sense.

Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to buy a safe. It would be quite interesting to think about it if someone came to steal it and spent a lot of effort to open the safe, only to find a bunch of blank documents.

But Xu Xing just thought about it casually. After sending Gong Ao away, he looked at Dai Zhuoshan again: "What's going on here?"

"Nothing, I just found someone who just came here not long ago." Dai Zhuoshan waved his hand and then reported, "On the food delivery platform, five people have been assigned to be responsible for platform maintenance and version updates, including docking with Zhang Nong.

"

"It takes at least a week to develop the software for Didi Taxi in Kyoto, but it can only guarantee the most basic taxi-hailing functions, and it will have to be updated in the future according to the needs there."

"The push mechanism for hot news has been initially perfected and can be launched at any time. If we go online as soon as possible to collect user data and portraits, I can further improve the function sooner."

"Yes." Xu Xing nodded, "You are mainly responsible for hot news here. You just need to keep an eye on the rest. Takeaways and taxis are long-term battles, so you don't need to worry too much."

"Go and talk to Gong Ao later to communicate the launch time of hot news, including WeChat Assistant, so that the advertising space can be released in advance."

"Relevant publicity and promotion can also be taken into action, and we can also cooperate with WeChat Assistant in the future."

Dai Zhuoshan nodded to express his understanding. After chatting, he got up and went back to prepare.

Xu Xing turned his attention to Liao Qinyu and saw him saying: "Fortunately, you asked me to keep the real purpose of WeChat Assistant secret before, so except for the few people who follow me to do social functions, everyone else only knows

WeChat Assistant focuses on gaming platforms.”

"We don't have project bonuses here. It's indeed much easier to recruit people, but the impact is not big. Only a few people are promoting the research and development of core functions."

"The new version here is ready. If there is no problem with Mr. Xu, the version can be updated at any time."

"Is this the address book friend function this time?" Xu Xing asked.

"Yes." Liao Qinyu nodded, "There will also be a voice chat function in the future. People nearby, shake and drift bottles, and updates every week should not be a big problem."

"Okay." Xu Xing glanced at today's date and time, "Then update at noon."

"OK." Liao Qinyu nodded. After receiving the boss's instructions, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go prepare."

After finishing the matter here, not long after, Yao Yuanyuan came to the door again.

As the company's financial director, Yao Yuanyuan can be said to be both a father and a mother. He is not only responsible for finance, but also responsible for the company's internal administration, legal affairs, human resources and other aspects. He can be said to be Xu Xing's all-round housekeeper.

After discussing with Yao Yuanyuan how to handle the resigned personnel, Xu Xing, under Peng Yuxuan's arrangement, handled some trivial administrative matters. When he looked up again, it was already approaching noon.

Xu Niannian came in once before and saw that Xu Xing was busy so he didn't bother him. During the holiday, he ended up sitting back at his desk and being squeezed out of the remaining value by the boss Xu Xing.

By the time it was lunch time, the employee in charge of ordering had already gone downstairs and brought everyone’s lunch boxes up and started distributing the lunch boxes.

Xu Xing also followed the trend and took a box lunch and sat down at the empty workstation next to Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan to eat.

"Hey." Xu Nianyan kicked him lightly. He moved his chair over with a vegetable box and picked the tomatoes he didn't like into Xu Xing's lunch box. "Here, eat more vegetables~"

With that said, he picked up a few more pieces of chicken and put them back.

Xu Xing rolled his eyes at her, and while eating his sister's small tomatoes, he took a large piece of egg from her tomato scrambled egg and regarded it as chicken interest: "If you don't like eating it, just leave it alone."

."

"But I want to pour the rice into the soup and mix it with eggs to eat it. It's so delicious." Xu Niannian put the rice into the tomato scrambled eggs without tomatoes, stirred it, and ate it happily.

, and even came over and asked, "Would you like to try it?"

"Just don't steal my chicken."

"I also have dried plums, vegetables and pork, let me share some with you."

"Are you embarrassed to have only prunes?"

"This store is not good. It's all dried plums and vegetables, and I didn't even eat a few pieces of meat."

"How many meals can a piece of pork make?"

…

After lunch, Xu Niannian stopped disturbing Xu Xing and simply stayed in the company to work overtime.

Yan Chijuan encountered a problem at work, so he got up and came to the office to ask Xu Xing how to deal with it.

At this moment, behind the desk at the door of the office, Peng Yuxuan is still immersed in processing documents.

After Yan Chijiu approached the office, he went all the way to Xu Xing's desk and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, there is a bug in the two-player mode of Fruit Assassin. After strangers are matched, they add each other as friends and connect to the WeChat assistant.

, there will be a chance that two identical dialog boxes will appear."

"You submit this to the WeChat team, and the two sides have to coordinate and deal with it." Xu Xing was not very busy at the moment. He just took the time to work on the planning of several subsequent projects. When he saw Yan Chiju come in, he took advantage of his desk.

Cover and hold her little hand.

"Mr. Xu..." Yan Chiju looked at Peng Yuxuan at the door a little nervously. Seeing that he didn't pay attention, he acquiesced to Xu Xing's little move, "Well, then I'm going out?"

"Is there nothing else to report?" Xu Xing took her little hand, and the other hand was already on her slim waist.

Fortunately, there was a row of shelves with fixed files on the desk, which happened to be between Yan Chijiu and Peng Yuxuan. Even if Peng Yuxuan turned around and looked over, he couldn't see their boss Xu's thief.

"Well..." Yan Chijuan blushed slightly, suddenly feeling so excited, "Mr. Xu, didn't you say before that you would arrange a new game project for me? What is it specifically?"

"Oh, this." Xu Xing turned the chair sideways without leaving a trace, pulled Yan Chijuan to the middle of the desk, pointed to the plan with few words written on it, "Look, I just

I have written part of it, and I can tell you about it first."

"Hmm..." Yan Chijue pushed back the broken hair around her ears, and took a peek at Peng Yuxuan at the door. To see the reason for the planning plan, he leaned down slightly and bent his knees slightly.

Originally only less than 1.6 meters tall, now only the area above the chest was still above the table. Coupled with the obstruction of the file rack, Peng Yuxuan could only see Yan Chijiu's exposed forehead.

So Xu Xing started to be more aggressive and half-hugged her into his arms, but because he was holding her sideways, it looked like there was still some distance between them from the door, which was quite normal.

It's just that the underside of the table is almost touching.

"The new project is a dress-up mobile game for women, specifically..."

…

Ten minutes later, Yan Chijiu walked out of the office with a red face.

When no one was paying attention, she trotted out of the office area and came all the way to the bathroom door. After washing her face with cold water, she felt that her hot body had recovered a little.

[Xu Xing]: Why did you run away so fast? Don’t you usually like to call me Mr. Xu?

The phone vibrated. When Yan Chijuan saw the message from Xu Xing, two blushes suddenly appeared on his cheeks.

[Yan Chi Jian]: You went too far just now... I feel like Peng Yuxuan even looked over, but you still held on to me, almost exposing me.

【Xu Xing】: He couldn’t see under the table.

[Yan Chi Jian]: It’s still too dangerous, and I still have to work. Mr. Xu, you can’t mess around.

【Xu Xing】: Then it’s okay when you go home and don’t work at night?

[Yanchi vinegar]: Mr. Xu, please correct your attitude.

Yan Chijiu laughed out loud while looking at the chat messages between the two. It wasn't until he heard footsteps coming from the corridor that he quickly washed his face again.

"Jealous." Xu Niannian came to the bathroom from the corridor and asked casually and curiously, "What were you talking about with Xu Xing in the office just now?"

"Oh, there is just a bug in the game." Yan Chijiu blinked, and suddenly returned to normal, and politely said to Xu Niannian, "Also, we talked about the new project, saying that it will follow the Nian Nian

Sister Nian did this together, and Sister Nian will have to take care of me more when the time comes."

"That's it." Xu Niannian was a little confused. He had indeed talked about this with Xu Xing before, so he didn't think much about it. He smiled and patted Yan Chijue on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we still have great advantages in playing dress-up games.

Only girls understand girls."

"Uh-huh."

The two of them communicated at the bathroom door for a while, then Xu Niannian went in to use the bathroom, while Yan Chiju returned to his workstation and continued working.

In the office, after Xu Xing finished chatting with Yan Chijuan on WeChat, he received the latest update notification.

His eyes narrowed and he clicked update. After a while, the WeChat Assistant version 1.1 was updated.

The original [Friends] option below was also changed to [Address Book]. When he clicked the [Address Book] button, while jumping to the page, a pop-up window also popped up on the phone screen, entering the new function guidance mode.

In the option to add new friends at the top, Xu Xing clicked on the [Add Mobile Contact] button following the guidance function.

After scanning all the contacts in the mobile address book, if the other party has also registered for WeChat Assistant, you can directly click to add a friend and send the application.

If the other party has not registered WeChat Assistant, you can send a text message to the other party to recommend WeChat Assistant and also include a link to download WeChat Assistant.

It also supports group text messaging function, one-click sending, the most fool-proof operation.

Looking at the prompt above, Xu Xing clicked to send the text message and sent it to all his relatives and friends on his mobile phone.

Then, he found Liao Qinyu’s WeChat message and sent a new message.

[Xu Xing]: After the version is updated, the data will be reported every hour. I want to see the real-time effect.

【Liao Qinyu】:Okay, no problem.

After explaining this matter, Xu Xing leaned back on the chair and took a deep breath.

From this moment on, the battle between WeChat and QQ has officially begun.

Whether he will be crushed to death like an ant, or whether he will fight his way through thorns and grab a piece of his own city depends on the subsequent development.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing sat up straight again, turned on the computer, thought for a moment, and sent an email to 360 Security Guard's company mailbox.

"Xiao Peng, send a message to 360 and ask if Mr. Zhou is free. I want to talk to him."

"Okay Mr. Xu."
