NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26
In a flash, the new year has arrived. New
Year’s Day has arrived.
Su Chengyang did not return to Yucheng.
At this time, he and Lin Haishen were meeting someone in a private room in the restaurant of Yundu Hotel.
Yao Wenjing, a talented student of Huaqing University in 1991, went abroad to study for a doctorate after graduation. After graduation, he worked in many well-known Internet companies such as Yahu, Weiqin, and Google. In
2003, he returned to China and joined Qiandu. After working in Qiandu for three years, he jumped to Penguin.
He is currently the project leader of Penguin in Yanjing and the general manager.
In the Penguin system, he is considered a middle and senior level.
And this person is also one of the recommended by the headhunting company.
After a round of screening and the initial interview, when all parties were satisfied, Su Chengyang asked Lin Haishen to make an appointment.
After all, this is a recruitment for the position of general manager of a company, controlling the direction of the company’s development. If the leader’s ability is mediocre, it will affect the company’s development.
However, to be able to become the general manager of a subsidiary of Penguin, his ability is definitely beyond doubt.
Otherwise, he would not have climbed to this position.
Moreover, he has worked in many world-renowned Internet companies.
It can be said that such talents are the object of competition among various companies in the Internet industry.
Su Chengyang also chatted with Yao Wenjing, and it can be said that they had a very pleasant conversation.
In particular, he has unique insights into the future development direction of the Internet network, and secondly, he has project experience from zero to one.
Through the conversation, Yao Wenjing’s concept of the operation of Internet products is indeed excellent.
After a conversation, Su Chengyang had already recognized Yao Wenjing’s talents in his heart, so he did not hide it anymore, but told him about his project:”Mr. Yao, I don’t know if you have heard of Twitter.”
Yao Wenjing nodded, and looked at Su Chengyang with a smile on his face:”A social networking site with information flow in the United States, which can send text and picture information of less than 140 words”
“This social networking site has exceeded 10 million registered users within one year. It is reported that the weekly active users are as high as 7 million. It was later valued at 700 million US dollars by an investment institution, and Mr. Su, you are one of the shareholders.”
“Haha, that’s right, but that’s in the past now. I’m not a shareholder of Twitter anymore.”
Su Chengyang smiled and looked at Yao Wenjing with a smile in his eyes.
“To be honest, I plan to create an Internet product similar to Twitter in Longguo, and I would like to invite Mr. Yao to join and be responsible for this project. I wonder if Mr. Yao is interested in joining?”
Yao Wenjing raised his eyebrows, not surprised.
Instead, he looked at Su Chengyang with interest:”Mr. Su, do you think a website like Twitter is suitable for China?”
Su Chengyang smiled and said,”Whether it is suitable or not, we will know after market testing.”
Yao Wenjing nodded:”Mr. Su is right, testing is the only truth”
“”I wonder, if I join, what kind of treatment and conditions Mr. Su can give me?”
Yao Wenjing asked, staring at the famous”big shot” in front of him.
He wanted to see what he was worth in the eyes of this celebrity in the venture capital industry.
Young people talk about ideals, draw cakes, and rely on deception.
Adults always talk about interests.
Su Chengyang knew this very well.
After hearing Yao Wenjing’s inquiry, he said seriously:”The general manager position will be increased by an annual salary of 2 million, and it will increase by 20% every year.”
After a pause, looking at Yao Wenjing whose expression was slightly moved, he continued:”If the company goes public in the future, you can get no less than 1% of the shares.”
Yao Wenjing nodded slightly.
The price offered by Su Chengyang was very sincere. Not only was the salary hundreds of thousands more than his current one, but he also promised to get 1% of the shares after the listing, which was very rare.
1% of the shares may seem like a small amount, but how could a project that can be personally handled by a Silicon Valley investment celebrity be simple?
Moreover, taking the valuation of Twitter as an example, if it is really successful in China and listed, this 1% of the shares will probably be worth several million US dollars, which is definitely much better than his treatment at Penguin.
Even if he fails, the salary alone, which increases by 20% every year, is worth his job change. After pondering the pros and cons in his mind, Yao Wenjing made a decision in his heart, stretched out his hand, looked at Su Chengyang with a smile and said,”Chairman, please take care of me in the future”
“Haha, welcome Mr. Yao to join us.”
Su Chengyang was very happy when he heard this.
With the joining of Yao Wenjing, who has rich experience in the Internet industry, he has less things to worry about and only needs to grasp the general direction.
However, it is not easy for talents of Yao Wenjing’s level to leave. It takes at least ten days and a half months to submit a report, get approval, and officially leave.
Fortunately, Yao Wenjing used his personal connections to recommend some Internet industry talents to join the newly formed”Shanhai Network Company”.
With the addition of these people, Su Chengyang directly handed over the unfinished Weibo demo and instruction documents to the person in charge of product technology. It is more appropriate to leave professional matters to professionals. In addition, the recruitment of game talents has also been confirmed. Information.
They were also recommended by headhunting companies. Some had worked in Shanda, some had worked in Wangyi, and of course some had worked in Penguin Games. Most of the people recommended were game project operation managers or game project development directors.
After a series of interviews, Su Chengyang finally finalized the person in charge of the game company, He Zhifei.
He was the operations director of Wangyi’s Westward Journey project.
Although he has little experience in developing this game, Su Chengyang is not going to develop the game immediately. Instead, he will first act as an agent to operate the game and then develop it.
As the helmsman of a game company, it is not important whether you have technology or not. What is important is to have people and to be able to market and operate.
Otherwise, no matter how good the game product is, it will be cold in the market.
“Chairman, are you looking for me?”
Just as Su Chengyang was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and then He Zhifei walked in.
“”Well, sit down.”
He Zhifei heard this and sat down opposite Su Chengyang.
“Let me tell you about your next business.”
“The company represents a MOBA game developed by Riot Games in the United States, called”League of Legends”. This game is scheduled to be tested in March, so your time is very tight. You need to set up a national service operation team and server maintenance by mid-February.”
“In addition, the company has reached an agreement with Activision Blizzard that after the Ninth City’s agency rights for World of Warcraft in China expire in June, the company will take over, so it is imperative to set up an operations team before May.”
“In less than half a year, I have to set up two game operation teams. I know this is very stressful, but it is related to whether our company can become famous in one battle.”
Looking at He Zhifei, who is about 37 years old, Su Chengyang looked serious.
“”Ding!”
He Zhifei’s heart suddenly shook.
World of Warcraft, as a professional in the game industry, He Zhifei is very clear about the influence and popularity of this game.
It is rumored that after the agency rights of The Ninth City expire, Wangyi will take over the agency.
Unexpectedly, his boss actually intercepted it.
However, his boss is the boss of Oasis Investment Company, and Oasis Investment Company is the controlling shareholder of Activision Blizzard. It is not difficult to use influence to intercept the agency rights.
And to be honest, He Zhifei is under a lot of pressure to take over the agency of two games at once. The main reason is that Shanhai Game Company is just an empty shell. Apart from him, there are only a few people, and they are the people he brought from his old boss.
And the time given by Su Chengyang is too tight.
It’s only one month.
