Chapter 293 There is a Future Following Director Qi

Fenglin Science and Technology Park, Area C.

Many employees of miHoYo felt a different atmosphere when they arrived at the company.

It is serious, heavy, and a little depressing, giving a sense of dark clouds pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

The company changed hands and the three original founders were all out.

For ordinary employees, maybe it’s nothing.

But leaders at the middle level and above cannot help but worry about their future.

As the company's painstakingly produced big production "Genshin Impact" was about to be publicly tested, the three founders simply cashed out and left.

This is really a bit too much.

Fortunately, Yu Chenxi did not leave. As one of the founders, Liu Wei’s right-hand man and the vice president in charge of human resources.

Yu Chenxi holds a very high position in miHoYo and can be considered the fourth most important person after the three founders.

In fact, Yu Chenxi was also very confused.

Even though he had a good relationship with Liu Wei, when asked about the reasons for the company's changes, the other party was very secretive.

But there were hints in his words that suggested he should consider leaving.

Just as he was frowning in thought, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter."

Executive Director Wang Zhen, who was assigned by him to liaise with the new boss, walked in quickly to report.

"Boss Yu, our new boss will be here soon."

"Then we should go and greet them."

Yu Chenxi took a deep breath and prepared to face his own judgment.

The worst outcome is getting fired.

With Liu Wei's promise, Yu Chenxi is not worried about his next club.

The two men, along with a group of middle-level managers, lined up downstairs to greet them.

Soon, a convoy consisting of Land Rovers and stretched Phantoms appeared in the sight of Yu Chenxi and his friends.

Judging from the situation, no one would doubt that it was the president's trip.

When the convoy stopped, a group of bodyguards and elites dressed in suits got out of the Land Rover.

As for the real protagonist, he will naturally be the last to appear.

I saw the Phantom door open and a tall man walked out.

"Director Qi."

Yu Chenxi and Wang Zhen were both a little dazed. They didn't expect the new boss to be so handsome, and they quickly greeted him respectfully.

"Go inside and talk."

Qi Sheng shook hands with them, and seeing that there were many people watching the fun, he took the lead and walked into the office building.

On the way, Yu Chenxi also reported the company's situation to Qi Sheng.

"Are the office spaces for the company's current several projects separate?"

Qi Sheng had previously noticed that the office locations of several game project teams under MiHoYo were very scattered.

Although they are all in the same park, they are scattered across several buildings.

"The situation is currently like this. The company is growing too fast, and Fenglin Science and Technology Park does not have the entire building available for rent."

"However, the decoration of Building 1 in Guangqi Garden has been almost completed."

“It will be ready for use in April, and new product lines and business departments can be relocated there by then.”

In addition to being in charge of personnel, Yu Chenxi is also responsible for the company's daily operations.

“Ask the managers of the company’s various projects and business lines to go to the large conference room and prepare for the meeting.”

Qi Sheng gave some instructions and went directly to the chairman's office.

Compared to the office I had at Universal Entertainment, the environment and size were different.

Qi Sheng sat casually in the boss chair and was very clear about the mentality of miHoYo's internal management.

In his opinion, miHoYo's development speed is still a bit slow.

The idea of ​​recruiting people is also somewhat disorderly.

Many businesses are running idle and are still a long way from becoming the third pole in the gaming industry in the future.

Qi Sheng just scanned the several executives who came to greet him, and only Yu Chenxi could be considered an expert-level talent.

It’s not that I’m disappointed.

What Qi Sheng cares about is the project "Genshin Impact".

As for talents, he has as many as he wants.

But in order to ensure a smooth transition and allow the "Genshin Impact" project to be successfully launched, there is no need to move Yu Chenxi.

Just as Qi Sheng was thinking, Yu Chenxi knocked on the door.

"Director Qi, all the company's mid-level and above managers have arrived."

"Okay, I understand."

Qi Sheng followed Yu Chenxi to the conference room.

The conference room, which was originally as noisy as a vegetable market, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qi Sheng, and I will be your new boss from now on."

"The company will not have major personnel changes in the short term. Mr. Yu will temporarily serve as the company's CEO."

"My principle in hiring is to promote the capable and demote the mediocre. MiHoYo does not keep idle people."

"As long as you have the ability, senior management positions and generous year-end bonuses are waiting for you!"

After Qi Sheng finished his speech, there was thunderous applause in the conference room.

Who dares not to give face to the new boss? Moreover, the pie that Qi Sheng painted was indeed tempting.

The original three founders were out, leaving three executive positions vacant.

The middle-level managers present naturally had their own thoughts.

Whether in the workplace or in the government, no one doesn't want to climb up.

Becoming a senior executive not only brings glory, but also a surge in annual income.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi!"

Yu Chenxi bowed respectfully to Qi Sheng.

From the vice president in charge of personnel to the company's CEO.

This step has stumped countless people.

Yu Chenxi was naturally extremely grateful to Qi Sheng.

"The company's current core project is still Genshin Impact, and all departments must fully cooperate."

"Boss Yu, I'll give you the Imperial Sword. Anyone who disobeys me will be kicked out!"

Qi Sheng had given sweet dates before, so naturally he wanted to show off his power this time.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qi. I will personally monitor the Genshin Impact project and ensure that you will not be disappointed!"

Yu Chenxi didn't expect that Qi Sheng would attach so much importance to "Genshin Impact".

There is also an inexplicable intuition.

Perhaps Qi Sheng acquired miHoYo because of the "Genshin Impact" project.

"Let's adjourn the meeting. President Yu will send an internal email later to appease the grassroots employees."

Qi Sheng waved his hand and was the first to stand up and leave the meeting room.

It was not until Qi Sheng left that people in the conference room began to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh my god, the boss looked so kind just now, but he suddenly became murderous and decisive. I almost scared myself to death."

"I checked before, our boss's strength is no worse than those big companies. Lawang is our boss's company."

"Lawang? The company with the scary valuation?"

"No matter how capable the boss is, it won't affect the little money we make. Do you think the vacant executive position will really be promoted from within the company?"

"I think so. Didn't the boss promise it?"

"Tell me the truth, have you received Mr. Liu's invitation?"

"Ahem, did you receive it too?"

"I'm just struggling with this. It's so hard to get Genshin Impact officially open for public testing, but Mr. Liu and his team cashed out and ran away. Now they're recruiting us again. We have to start all over again."

"I plan to wait and see. Maybe our new boss will be pleased with the good performance of Genshin Impact and give us a few months of year-end bonus!"

"That's right, it's too bad to change jobs now."

…

Chairman's Office.

After Qi Sheng used an expert-level talent recruitment card, Yu Chenxi looked at Qi Sheng with particularly warm eyes.

If we have to describe it with data, Yu Chenxi's loyalty has reached 100.

"Mr. Yu, miHoYo's current office space is too messy. I'll give you 3 billion yuan to choose a suitable headquarters building and integrate all the existing game project teams and business lines together."

Qi Sheng is not short of money. Buying a building for miHoYo can also enhance his prestige among his employees.

"Uh...buy a house?"

Yu Chenxi never expected that when Qi Sheng called her over, the first thing he would arrange for her to do was to buy a house.

Moreover, they spent 3 billion to buy a building! My goodness, their budget for developing Genshin Impact was less than 1 billion.

"Any questions?"

Qi Sheng looked at Yu Chenxi and didn’t think that the other party couldn’t even do such a small thing.

"No problem, I will screen suitable property projects as soon as possible and leave it to you to decide."

Yu Chenxi quickly expressed his opinion.

Making money may be difficult, but who doesn’t know how to spend money?

"We need to move quickly. I hope our employees can move to the new headquarters building before the public beta of Genshin Impact."

"By the way, the office space per capita in the headquarters building should not be too shabby. Let's say 15 square meters per capita."

"Taking into account the subsequent recruitment, the office building's construction area must be at least 60,000 square meters."

“If there is a suitable project, additional funds can be provided!”

Qi Sheng wanted to show off his muscles in front of his employees. He had to let them know that their future lay with him.

"3 billion is not enough, we can add more..."

Yu Chenxi's mind was filled with this sentence, and she even forgot how she walked out of the chairman's office.

After returning to his office, Yu Chenxi finally came to his senses.

"Mr. Yu, your office supplies have been moved to the president's office."

Executive Director Wang Zhen knocked on the door with a flattering smile on his face.

"Old Wang, come and sit down."

Yu Chenxi waved, but she didn't feel proud at all.

"Boss Yu, do you have any instructions?"

Wang Zhen sat with half of his buttocks raised, appearing cautious.

"Director Qi just gave me something, and I hope you can do it for me."

Yu Chenxi didn't have time to look around for properties in person, so he had to send someone he trusted to take charge.

"Just tell me, I won't let you down."

Wang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he was eager to show off more in front of Yu Chenxi.

"President Qi is very dissatisfied with the scattered distribution of our current office space."

"They specifically gave me a budget of 3 billion yuan to select a suitable office building to acquire as our future headquarters building."

Yu Chenxi coughed lightly, described the task again, and looked at Wang Zhen with a smile on his face.

"Lao Wang, there are several vacant executive positions in the company right now. I personally think highly of you, so I entrusted you with such an important matter."

"I hope you can seize this opportunity. I will help you put in a few good words in front of Director Qi when the time is right."

"Thank you, Mr. Yu!"

Wang Zhen knew that Yu Chenxi was just making empty promises.

But this cake is particularly tempting and within reach.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

I thought about the invitation I received from Liu Wei some time ago.

Wang Zhen immediately sneered in his heart with disdain.

Even if Liu Wei and his colleagues are capable, it will take at least two or three years to restart a project.

Whether the project will be successful is still unknown.

Wang Zhen doesn't think that changing jobs will definitely lead to a future.

With Mr. Qi’s terrifying financial resources, he just needs to hold on to the other party’s thigh.

Isn’t it better than following Liu Wei and the others?

…

After leaving Yu Chenxi's office, Wang Zhen called over a few subordinates who were smart and efficient.

"The big boss just gave us a task to buy a headquarters building, with a budget of less than 3 billion yuan."

Wang Zhen didn't wait for them to digest this shocking news and continued.

"We are on a tight schedule, and Mr. Yu is pressing us very urgently. You will each be responsible for an administrative district."

"The office area cannot be less than 60,000 square meters. Give me a reference list before leaving get off work."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

When these people returned to their respective posts, they began to use computers to collect information.

The news that Qi Sheng was going to buy a building for the company had spread completely.

Qi Sheng had naturally anticipated all of this.

The employees, who were originally in a panic, now focus on discussing how much money the boss actually has.

"I guess our Chairman Qi must have at least hundreds of billions, otherwise it's impossible for him to easily take out 3 billion to buy a building for us."

"It may not be Mr. Qi's own money. It may be a bank loan."

"Even if it's a loan, it's ridiculous. Do you really think anyone can borrow money from a bank?"

"I heard that Mr. Cai and his team sold the company for 12 billion yuan, and Mr. Cai himself cashed out nearly 5 billion yuan."

"Brother, you didn't pay attention to the point at all. Our President Qi bought the whole thing in cash. Don't be so arrogant, okay?"

"Indeed, Meituan acquired Mobike and used equity swap. Anyway, I don't plan to change jobs. I feel that I have a future following Chairman Qi."

"It's true that Mr. Cai is a genius, but he's too arrogant. Even Mr. Liu and Mr. Luo are not taken seriously by him."

"That's right. We are just workers. There is no need to empathize with the boss. After all, we have worked hard for "Genshin Impact" for three years. Looking at Mr. Qi's work, the year-end bonus will definitely not be small!"

…

The potential crisis of being poached was easily resolved by Qi Sheng by purchasing the headquarters building.

Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, and Luo Yuhao were sitting in a teahouse, all looking unhappy.

Liu Wei, in particular, looked extremely embarrassed.

He had originally made a solemn promise.

As his right-hand man, Yu Chenxi will definitely jump ship and follow them.

As a result, he was blocked directly.

Liu Wei naturally knew what this meant.

"This Mr. Qi is really capable. Many of the elderly people I contacted before have become ambiguous in their attitudes."

"They will only switch jobs if we increase the cost of poaching them."

Liu Wei sighed, feeling the situation was difficult for the first time.

Having been forced to sell their company previously, the three brothers naturally wanted to make a comeback.

The feeling of powerlessness of seeing the light at the last moment but having your peaches plucked away by others.

It is simply impossible for them to retire and enjoy their old age with peace of mind.

So, Cai Haoyu invested 2 billion, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao each invested 1 billion.

TimeJunction Technology was established as the new 'miHoYo'.

But the question before them is what kind of new project to launch.

Cai Haoyu is the calmest among the three.

Because in his mind, "Genshin Impact" is just a mediocre work.

Only a project like "Sword Art Online" can fill him with fighting spirit.

Therefore, Cai Haoyu thinks that selling miHoYo may not be a bad thing.

He finally had enough money to develop the epic project that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

"Lao Liu, Lao Luo, please believe me. Our new company will focus all its efforts on developing the "PJSH" project. I guarantee that the prospects of this game will definitely not be worse than "Genshin Impact"!"

Although Cai Haoyu is the major shareholder of the new company, he cannot act on his own.

After all, Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao also invested 1 billion yuan each.

The company consists of three people. If the project is to be approved, it naturally needs the consent of the other two partners.

"Old Cai, are you still not giving up on PJSH?"

Liu Wei frowned slightly. He didn't expect Cai Haoyu to be so obsessed with that project.

It can be said that the biggest purpose of the development of "Genshin Impact" is to raise research and development funds for Cai Haoyu's "PJSH" project.

However, no one expected that "Genshin Impact" would become such a huge hit, and it made miHoYo a ton of money.

"Lao Liu, we didn't have money before, so I had to put this project on hold. But now we all have money, and you don't have any suitable projects to develop. Why don't you join me in making a 3A shooting game?"

Cai Haoyu tried his best to persuade the two good brothers who were close friends.

"Since these domestic employees don't want to leave, let's go abroad to recruit the best talents and develop a groundbreaking 3A shooting game in China."

"Lao Cai, I still think that with our strength, it's too risky to make a 3A shooting game."

Liu Wei is a cautious person and feels that going all in on a project is too risky.

"Triple-A games have always been the weak point of domestic game manufacturers."

"Except for some action-style martial arts games, there are few outstanding works that can be shown off."

"Shooting is the weakest of the weak points."

"We don't need to challenge the highest difficulty directly."

"First develop a few profitable games, then it won't be too late to develop AAA shooting games."

"Lao Liu, I really can't wait. I've been waiting for three years for Genshin Impact. This is my dream. I hope you can support me!"

Cai Haoyu looked at Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao with burning eyes.

"If you really don't agree, I can invest to buy back your shares. Even if PJSH loses all my money, I will still insist on doing it!"

"Well…"

Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

In some ways, Cai Haoyu is indeed a bit autocratic.

Just like the 3A shooting game that no one in China dares to touch, Cai Haoyu dares to try it.

You can say he is courageous or you can say he is stubborn.

The other person's abilities and personality really make them love and hate him.

When it comes to developing games, Cai Haoyu is indeed a genius.

But does a genius necessarily mean success?

"Huh... let's bet!"

It is true that Liu Wei is cautious, but he is also decisive.

"There aren't many good projects anyway. Since we were able to create Genshin Impact, why not create PJSH?"

"Old Liu is right. Isn't it just a AAA shooting game?"

Luo Yuhao usually has a low presence, but he is Cai Haoyu's right-hand man.

At miHoYo, I am mainly responsible for the management and development of existing projects.

With the support of two brothers who co-founded miHoYo with him, Cai Haoyu is full of confidence in his new project.

"At worst, the project fails and we can each take the billions and go back to our old age."

"If it succeeds, it will be another MiHoYo, or even NetEase, or even Penguin!"

Cai Haoyu put his hands together with Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao.

His words were full of expectations for the new project.

“I hope so!”

Liu Wei didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably upset.

He had a premonition.

I'm afraid this new project won't go very smoothly.

But apart from Cai Haoyu's project, they really don't have any good game ideas.

The copyright of the Honkai series is in the hands of miHoYo.

When they sold the company, they naturally did not take the copyright away with them.

And when the news reached Qi Sheng.

I heard that Cai Haoyu and his team have founded a new company and the tentative project is called "PJSH".

Qi Sheng almost didn't open the champagne to celebrate.

Even if you are not a fan of "Genshin Impact", you must have heard that this highly anticipated project of miHoYo suffered a tragic failure.

Even the founder Cai Haoyu, whose reputation he had built internally with the help of "Genshin Impact", had been shattered, and his prestige was no longer as high as before.

China simply does not have the capabilities to develop 3A productions.

But just because others can't do it doesn't mean Qi Sheng can't do it.

As long as you are willing to spend money, the talents provided by the system will be as powerful as possible.

But for now, we should consolidate our basic foundation.

He can first make a fortune from "Genshin Impact" and then slowly plan to develop a 3A game.

Who knows, when Cai Haoyu and his team hit a wall, they might return to miHoYo in disgrace.

Qi Sheng didn't mind recruiting the three of them since he had a talent recruitment card anyway.

As long as they are willing to join miHoYo, they will become their most loyal believers! (End of this chapter)
