Chapter 1576 Seeking Thoughts And Words

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Two hours later, Jin Yong called the main person-in-charge to the conference room.

Min Jingchao had a meeting to finalize the operation modification plan.

Before the meeting began, Jin Yong had already divided Min Jingchao into three types of games that Long Yu Corporation was operating. He told the various person-in-charge of operations and introduced the general direction of modification of each type of game.

The direction was set by Min Jingchao, but the specific details of the modifications still had to be completed by the people in charge of the operations.

What’s more, Min Jingchao wanted to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the various person-in-charge of operations.

“Do you have any opinions or suggestions for the new operating plan?”

“If you think that the modification plan is harmful to the game itself, you have to point it out in time. Otherwise, you can boldly voice out your opinions. Everyone can speak freely and discuss it fully.”

Min Jingchao’s humble attitude surprised all the person-in-charge.

One had to know that Min Jingchao had interacted with Long Yu Corporation when he was at Sun Strike Studios.

At that time, Min Jingchao had left an impression on the interviewees that he was more overbearing. He rarely changed his decisions. He would not even give in!

He did not expect Min Jingchao’s attitude today to be so friendly. He even wanted to seek everyone’s opinions?

That made all the operations heads in disbelief!

He wondered if Min Jingchao’s attitude was sincere or superficial.

However, since Min Jingchao had already given them a chance to speak, the people in charge of operations still raised their hands and expressed their opinions.

The first person to speak was obviously the person-in-charge who had made preparations. He said bluntly, “In the plan, many games that are completely hopeless have to be modified drastically. Is that really meaningful?”

“These games are either completely outdated or there are irreversible flaws in the game

itself!”

“Modifying these games would cost a lot of manpower. Even if we modify them, we might not be able to obtain very good benefits. In my opinion, we might as well maintain the original plan. We can give up after quickly squeezing out all the potential!”

“With these modifications, we might as well focus our resources and develop a new game!”

Many of the other person-in-charge agreed.

However, Min Jingchao smiled and shook his head. “You can’t think of the problem that way!”

“The game industry is a creative industry. For a game, the configuration and graphics are of course very important. It determines players’ first impression of it. However, at the end of the day, the soul of the game is still its gameplay and rules!”.

“Many new games were painstakingly developed for a year. When they were released, the situation was not good. After three months of intense modifications, they became cold. The main reason was that there were problems with the gameplay and operating thinking. No matter how good the graphics were, there was no way to save them!”

“Many evergreen games are still very popular even though their graphics are already two or three years behind the times. Their popularity can even continue perfectly because they chose the right gameplay and operating idea.”

“Since that’s the case, it’s possible for the old game to shine a second time through appropriate modifications!”

“I think Long Yu Corporation’s current problem is not in the quantity of resources or the size of the game library.”

“In terms of resources, Long Yu Corporation is already the top channel merchant in the country. They do not lack games or good games.”

“Since 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?”

“Long Yu Corporation’s crux is the entire company’s operating idea! They are too eager for quick success and are too reliant on data! They only know how to be stingy with data but rarely analyze the needs of players from the perspective of a designer. They also rarely analyze the characteristics of the game itself seriously!” “Therefore, this is not just to extend the lives of a few games that are about to die, nor is it to complete some heaven-defying noble task. Instead, it is to gradually reverse this wrong operating concept through these games!”

“If something goes wrong with the game, I cannot fall into despair. I have to deal with the problem!”

“What if two or three games were revitalized and the popularity gradually increased? Wouldn’t we make a profit?”

“Even if all the changes fail, we can accumulate precious experience. If we don’t use games that are about to fail as experiments, should we use profitable games as experiments?”

Min Jingchao’s point of view had obviously successfully convinced the person-in-charge of the operations who raised the problem. He nodded and shut up.

Min Jingchao looked at the person-in-charge who wanted to say something but hesitated. He used his eyes to ask him to tell him his thoughts.

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 would forcefully change these games to a conscience charging mode?”

“Of course not!”

“As a game’s operations, the most important thing is the specific analysis of the problem. Every game has its own characteristics. A slight move would affect the entire body. We cannot change it randomly!”

“These games are very popular. There are a large number of players, and some of them have already spent a lot of money in the

game.”

“The internal ecosystem of the game is already a strict and rigorous ecosystem. If we destroy this system rashly, it would cause huge damage to players!”

“We have to make changes to such games step by step. It might take a few versions, or even a year or two, to change them from a more extreme environment to a better environment!”

“Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed. I might be more supportive of Tengda’s long term operating model, but I will not make such a mistake.”

After that, a few more person-in-charge raised their questions. Min Jingchao answered them very patiently.

These were all experienced person-in-charge of operations. They already had preconceived operating concepts in their hearts. These deeply ingrained operating concepts naturally conflicted with Min Jingchao’s views.

Min Jingchao easily convinced them through the operating concept he had learned in Tengda and his 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 have forced them to carry it out!”

Min Jingchao smiled tiredly. “We have to discuss and unify our thoughts first. The follow-up work will be easier!”

“Otherwise, if we carry out the work arrangements, everyone might agree on it on the surface but would not cooperate in private. We would not be able to execute it well. Wouldn’t that be a hindrance?”

“Even in Tengda, every person-in-charge can raise questions at any time when Boss Pei is assigning work. Boss Pei will also answer patiently.”

“Boss Pei would only refuse to answer questions that are not convenient to reveal for the time being and require the person-in-charge to understand on his own.”

“Boss Pei’s attitude towards this has always been that we don’t have to be afraid of doubts and discussions. The truth will only gradually appear in the endless doubts and discussions!”

“If Boss Pei can maintain a gentle style, what right do I have to make a speech?”

Everyone in the conference room, including Min Jingchao, looked at him with admiration at the mention of Boss Pei.

If Boss Pei was here, everyone would probably not raise any questions and strictly follow Boss Pei’s instructions.

However, according to Min Jingchao, Boss Pei valued the opinions of others even though his understanding and ability in most fields were higher than everyone else.

Perhaps only an outstanding leader like Boss Pei could nurture an outstanding subordinate like Min Jingchao!

At this point in the meeting, all modification plans had basically been approved.

Every person-in-charge received their own task. They would follow Min Jingchao’s instructions and come up with their own operating plan before meeting to discuss the new plan.

After assigning the tasks, Min Jingchao continued, “We’ll do it after the plan meeting. Now, let’s move to the next topic!”

“As for the work flow.”

“I request that all departments and individuals who have business dealings with Tengda’s cooperation department use Tengda’s latest office software, ARS!”

“You can study the basic functions of this office software when you get back. However, let me explain a few requirements first.”

“This software will calculate the number of work information sent during the knock-off time. If it delivers too much information about the work, it will automatically send out a warning and copy to me!” “The people in charge have to pay special attention to the process and handling method. If they did not follow the process and issue missions, the responsibility would not be on the employees but on the person-in-charge!”

“If you use this office software, you have to strictly follow the working hours stipulated by the office software! You cannot arrive early or leave late. This check-in ranking is the most standard requirement for employees.”

“If you discover that the employees arrive early or leave late, or even continue working after clicking on the dot, your crime will be higher. You must be severely punished!”

Everyone in charge expressed their surprise.

“Ah, that… isn’t that appropriate?”

“This is too flexible! What if some employees’ work is at a critical juncture and don’t want to break off and leave a little later?”

“That’s right. Our company has always implemented a flexible working system. Many employees would only arrive at the office after 10 AM. I’m afraid many people would not be able to adapt to the deadlock!” “In my opinion, why don’t we take it slow? Let everyone gradually adapt to this work and rest for a month before slowly changing it?”

Min Jingchao said firmly, “No!”

“My plan is to see the results within two weeks! How can we have so much time to gradually adapt in a month?”.

“You can raise any opinions you have on the operations plan. You can compromise if it’s not a matter of principle. However, there’s no room for negotiation regarding the working hours and work flow!”

“Anyone who dares to violate the rules must be dealt with according to the rules!”

Min Jingchao’s sternness made the people in charge of operations look at each other.

Indeed, Min Jingchao’s kind expression was all an act. That was his true appearance!

Once they encountered problems with their principles, the people in charge of Tengda would be more stubborn than the most stubborn bull. No one could dissuade them!

The atmosphere in the conference room was gradually tense. Jin Yong cleared his throat and said, “The words have been made so clearly. Why aren’t you executing them quickly? Tell your subordinates clearly that no one can leave early or late. They have to strictly follow the rules of this software. If there are any problems, I’ll ask you, understand?”

The people in charge nodded and left the conference room.

Once everyone was almost gone, Jin Yong lowered his voice and said, “Brother Min, I can tell that you’re here to make drastic changes!”

“However, I have to give you a heads up.”

“These people in charge are very easy to deal with. Those who are not easy to deal with are above.”

Obviously, Jin Yong was referring to Boss

Ding.

Min Jingchao smiled easily. “Don’t worry! I’ll naturally have a way to deal with him if he dares to stop him!”
