Tencent agreed to include Happy Match in its game store, mainly to attract more users and increase revenue, which is a win-win situation for Tencent.
Of course, it was mainly thanks to the creative idea given by Zhou Chen that it played a significant role.
Otherwise, a small startup like Zhou Chen's wouldn't be able to enjoy such treatment.
Sending creative ideas and Happy Match are like stepping stones: one opens the door to Tencent, and the other opens the door to the market, allowing them to become known to more people.
Regarding the specific distribution of profits from the cooperation, Zhou Chen entrusted Su Jiajia to handle it. In less than two days, Su Jiajia resolved the matter and reported the results to Zhou Chen.
In terms of profit distribution, Penguin takes 70% and Zhou Chen takes 30%. It seems unfair, but Zhou Chen knows that he is the one who benefits. Because Penguin has a large market and already has a group of loyal customers, as long as Happy Match is launched, it can immediately gain a group of players without him having to promote it.
Tencent will handle this for him. You see, Zhou Chen was prepared to only take 10% of the profits, but he never expected Tencent to be so generous. They are much more generous than the mobile phone manufacturers. The final profit share negotiated with the mobile phone manufacturers was only 20%.
Zhou Chen was very satisfied with the result.
Next, we just need to wait for feedback after Happy Match enters the market.
"Manager Su, the game team has put in a lot of effort to develop this game. Take out some money and give each person a reward of 10,000 yuan. The one who made the most contribution will be rewarded with 30,000 yuan."
As the first game came to a close, Zhou Chen didn't forget to reward the startup team. He had game design ideas, but he still needed these game talents to realize them.
He must hold onto these talented individuals and make them a loyal team. Trying to win people over with empty promises might work once or twice, but eventually, nobody will want to play with you anymore.
This is human nature!
When the effort and reward are disproportionate, no one will persist, and eventually they will all leave.
He didn't want to see that situation happen, so using money to pave the way was undoubtedly the best option.
Because money is the most practical and useful thing.
"Ten thousand per person, isn't that a bit too much? Besides, we haven't even started making money yet."
As the manager, Su Jiajia felt a pang of pain when Zhou Chen spent over 200,000 yuan with just one sentence. That was over 200,000 yuan, no small sum.
Zhou Chen, however, said firmly, "Just do as I say. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it. I don't like playing games. They trusted me and came to the company, so I have to live up to their trust and dedication. This money is not much. In the future, I will give them more, even if it's company shares."
Speaking of which,
Zhou Chen paused for a moment, seemingly giving Su Jiajia some time to think.
After a moment, he continued, "Manager Su, for a company to develop in the long term, it must have cohesion and make employees feel a sense of belonging. When all employees are genuinely working for the good of the company, the company will definitely become stronger and stronger. On the contrary, if employees are cut in various ways to save a little money, over time, people's hearts will be scattered. As the old saying goes, if this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will. People can always go somewhere else. I want a wolf pack team. Wolves eat meat. Only when they are full can they have more strength to hunt and improve the overall strength of the wolf pack."
Zhou Chen talked quite a bit for a while.
In his previous life, he had never been a boss and his life was a complete failure, but that doesn't mean he was completely clueless about it.
Having lived for so long, seen so many things, and read so many books, I know how to do things to achieve the best results.
"I see!"
After a long silence, Su Jiajia responded and hung up the phone with mixed feelings.
Zhou Chen's last words really surprised and shocked her. In fact, she didn't really agree with Zhou Chen, who was a hands-off boss. Even though she worked for Zhou Chen, it was only because she had just quit her previous job, which often required her to stay up all night, and because she had lost a bet to Zhou Chen. She was just looking for a temporary solution and started working for Zhou Chen.
She didn't think Zhou Chen was capable of managing the company. Sometimes she even thought that without her, it wouldn't have been easy for Zhou Chen to start a technology company. He would have encountered numerous difficulties in terms of management alone. It was she, Miss Su, who saved Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen should be grateful to her.
But just now, after hearing Zhou Chen's profound insights into the relationship between the company and its employees, she had to re-evaluate this unusual high school student, Zhou Chen.
A high school student like Zhou Chen sees things so clearly, even more so than some seasoned veterans.
Moreover, Zhou Chen's words resonated deeply with her. You see, her boss particularly liked to make empty promises, which led to repeated disappointments and caused her to lack motivation in her work.
Zhou Chen, a high school senior, deeply understands that binding employees to the company and ensuring that employees benefit from the profits instead of the boss is something that 99% of companies across the country fail to do.
"I feel like I'm the high school student compared to him."
"He's too mature."
"Could it be that an old man's soul resides in his body?"
As Su Jiajia reflected on her experience, she asked herself a question and then answered it herself, realizing she no longer looked down on Zhou Chen.
In fact, upon closer examination of Zhou Chen's many deeds, from running a stinky tofu business to hoarding bungalows and obtaining a large amount of demolition compensation, to starting a technology game company, etc., none of these seem like things a high school student could do.
But Zhou Chen actually did it.
Su Jiajia had to admit that Zhou Chen was a man who radiated brilliance.
She was increasingly curious about how high Zhou Chen would go in the future. Would he become a business tycoon, standing shoulder to shoulder with giants like Tencent, or would he struggle in the business world and end up achieving nothing, fading into obscurity like everyone else?
She felt that the former was more likely.
"Reaching the level of a publicly listed company like Tencent is probably as difficult as climbing to the sky, but even becoming a slightly less successful company is enough to leave a name in the domestic business world."
Su Jiajia couldn't help but think of it.
She dared not imagine that Zhou Chen's achievements could surpass those of a big shot like Little Ma, but even a slightly less impressive boss would be something to be proud of.
However,
Little did Su Jiajia know that Zhou Chen's future achievements would not only surpass Penguin, but far outpace it, shining brightly in various fields and even driving the country's development in many aspects.
This has moved people abroad, who admire Zhou Chen as a business genius and prodigy.
After regaining her composure, Su Jiajia immediately followed Zhou Chen's instructions, withdrew the cash, and returned to the company to distribute the cash rewards.
The game team members were both surprised and delighted to see the stacks of cash rewards, shouting "Long live the boss!" At that moment, Su Jiajia felt the strong sense of identity and belonging that every employee had for the company.
...
It's past midnight!
