Sun Yaosheng glanced at the security guard who was a head taller than him and had a burly build, weighed the pros and cons, and silently gave way.
Looking at the mess that is "Honor of Kings World", Pony Ma felt it was a complete disaster. Several project team leaders had been replaced, but the game still hadn't gotten on track.
Although there is some income, it is negligible compared to the costs invested.
Is Tencent really going to abandon this project?
No! Absolutely not!
Little Ma was thinking about it until late at night in the office, smoking a whole pack of cigarettes and even ruining two pairs of his secretary Xiao Mei's stockings. Finally, he slapped his thigh.
"Damn it, I'm going to fight Lin Chen myself. I refuse to believe this evil."
"Ouch, Mr. Ma, be gentle."
Secretary Xiao Mei looked at the five-finger mark on her thigh and thought to herself, "If you want to take a picture, take a picture of your own thigh."
The next day, Pony Ma personally came to the "Honor of Kings World" project team to oversee the project.
There are currently two deputy team leaders in "Honor of Kings World". One is Chen Hongfa, who was the deputy team leader when Fatty was in charge, and the other is Qian Liang, who was promoted by Sun Yaosheng a few days ago.
As soon as Xiao Ma arrived at the project team, Qian Liang was already waiting at the door, while Chen Hongfa was still working diligently in the office.
Seeing Little Ma approaching, Qian Liang quickly went to greet him.
"Hello Mr. Ma, I am Qian Liang, the deputy leader of the 'King of Glory World' project team."
"Okay, Xiao Qian, gather all project team leaders and above for a meeting."
"Okay, Mr. Ma."
Ten minutes later, all project team leaders and above arrived at the conference room.
Seeing this, Brother Ma went straight to the point.
“Starting today, I will take direct control of the project team. If we do well, everyone’s year-end bonus will double. If we do poorly, everyone will be fired at the end of the year.”
Upon hearing this, everyone below began to sit up straight. This Little Ma was just too intimidating.
After looking around, Brother Ma continued.
"Judging from the data, we took the wrong approach with our previous plan. If it were a small company, it might have already gone bankrupt because of this mistake. However, TX is a powerful company and can still accept it."
However, we also need to find a way to make the project profitable as soon as possible, as this is related to everyone's bonuses. I believe everyone is just as anxious as I am.
So, I'm giving everyone a task: go back and write me an email explaining what you think is the right direction. Don't write a lot of fluff; keep it under 100 words. Send it to me before you leave work today.
Of course, you can't just do a perfunctory job. So many people are writing, the contrast between those who are and those who aren't is obvious. If I find anyone doing a perfunctory job, they won't even have to wait until the end of the year; they'll be fired tomorrow. Any objections?
"No problem!"
"Okay, meeting adjourned."
After finishing his speech, Little Ma returned to his office.
Why didn't he just ask everyone in the office to speak directly?
This is actually the philosophy of meetings: hold small meetings for important matters and large meetings for minor matters.
With so many people talking at once, you'll never get any useful information. Everyone will be wary of each other and try to sabotage one another, so you'll hardly hear anything of value.
Therefore, by assigning tasks, someone will always have something to say to the leader, and only in this way can truly useful information be received.
The reason for limiting it to 100 words is simply because some people, when asked to write something, start writing long and rambling essays, using all sorts of rhetoric, as if they want to reiterate the national spirit for you.
After reading for a long time, I found no useful information, but several thousand words of useless information.
Reading these kinds of emails is such a waste of time!
Before leaving get off work, Xiao Ma received a series of emails from project team members.
After a cursory reading, I can roughly divide the viewpoints into two categories.
One possibility is that the previous leaders were all complete idiots, and another is that this game is too similar to Genshin Impact, lacking any selling points.
"Hmm? This email is interesting."
Little Ma suddenly saw an email, the gist of which was...
"Honor of Kings World" should collaborate with "Honor of Kings" on events. Whenever "Honor of Kings" releases a new hero, and the new hero is strong enough, the card pool of "Honor of Kings World" should also be updated with the new hero.
Furthermore, a new skin card pool will be added to "Honor of Kings World" where players can draw skins for heroes from the game.
Because the modeling is based on the same set, there is no need to spend more cost and time redesigning; only minor modifications are required.
This can also be considered one of the different selling points of "Honor of Kings World" and "Genshin Impact".
Little Ma nodded as he read.
"Who wrote this? Let me see. Chen Hongfa? Is that the deputy team leader who didn't come to greet me? Interesting."
At this point, Little Ma really wanted to know who this fat guy was. Although he was a good-for-nothing, the two deputy team leaders he had found were both very capable.
The next day, Pony Ma came to the "Honor of Kings World" project team and held another meeting.
“I read everyone’s suggestions yesterday. First of all, I am very pleased that everyone took it very seriously. Then, I would like to give special mention to a colleague named Chen Hongfa, who is the deputy leader of the project team. His insights are very unique and he has a great market vision.”
Therefore, I hereby announce that the marketing plan for "Honor of Kings World" will be based on Chen Hongfa's plan, with all other departments providing full cooperation.
Where is Chen Hongfa?
"Mr. Ma, I'm here."
Little Ma saw a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses stand up in the corner.
"come over."
Little Ma waved.
Chen Hongfa walked over to Little Ma.
Little Ma stood up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Watch closely. If the revenue from the next gacha banner can catch up with Genshin Impact, the position of project team leader will be yours."
Chen Hongfa's lips twitched. "Catch up with Genshin Impact? Are you kidding me?"
However, in this kind of meeting setting, I certainly wouldn't directly slap the leader in the face, otherwise I wouldn't want to keep my job. Anyway, things can't get much worse now, and as long as I can do better than I am now, I can still get by.
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I will try my best."
Brother Ma left satisfied.
I thought to myself, this time there won't be any more mistakes.
So, half a month later, the latest card pool update for "Honor of Kings World" was released, and it was a collaboration update with "Honor of Kings".
The new hero in "Honor of Kings" is named Yao. He is a cool character with great skills and is also a chatterbox, which makes him very likable. He has been praised by players as soon as he was released.
