Chapter 47 Millions
. The news that eBay was going to be acquired
was slowly fermenting.
It was originally just a rumor heard by a few people.
But as time went on, the impact began to expand, which made the people in Yaoshi Software, a subsidiary of eBay, feel uneasy.
Because unfortunately,
Lin Yao was right.
The one who acquired eBay was the mortal enemy Tianhu.
Because it was a mortal enemy.
This made the rumors slowly tend to turn into rumors.
Some people said that they would lay off employees because Tianhu had no shortage of people, and some said that Yaoshi Software would be completely shut down. Then, there was a topic of whether there would be compensation for layoffs.
In short, in this environment, most people were absent-minded in their work.
The Shenshou system that Lin Yao was about to launch was also affected, mainly because the progress of the art department was much slower.
Miss Mu could solve the problems within the second development department, but Miss Mu had no choice but to complain about the art department.
It was also in this environment.
The monthly meeting of the Yaoshi Software Development Technology Department was held on time.
It was still the same people. Chen Nuo also came, only Kuang Zhi was missing.
When Mu Wanqing walked in, a group of directors had arrived.
Compared to outside,
the directors here were also a little uneasy, because the acquisition had the greatest impact on them. If they were not careful, they might not even be able to keep their positions. It was
just that they did not show it so obviously compared to outside. And the most anxious one
inside ... was Chen Nuo. Because his father had a position on the board of directors, he knew more than most people. Now the acquisition negotiations on eBay have reached the final stage. If nothing unexpected happens, the entire eBay will soon change hands. And the acquirer is eBay's old rival - Tianhu. After the acquisition is completed, Tianhu will become the largest online game development and operation company in China! At that time, he will be very embarrassed. Because Tianhu is pursuing a complete acquisition, the price offered by Tianhu on the board of directors is completely unacceptable to his father, the young director. At that time, he will lose his relationship with the board of directors and be isolated and helpless on the Yaoshi Software side... Not to mention that he has no achievements, if he also has the reputation of a short-selling director, he will definitely not end well after Tianhu takes over. So he is really anxious now. Very anxious. As soon as Mu Wanqing came in. Chen Nuo stared at her. His expression was complicated. There was eagerness, expectation, and an inexplicable thought. "Everyone is here. Let me tell you one thing first. You should pay more attention and don't let the people below spread the message. If there is a result, the higher-ups will post a notice." Deputy General Manager Li sat in the first seat, looking calm and composed. He mentioned the acquisition that was making a lot of noise right away. "Boss Li, is it really like the rumor that it will be acquired by Sky Fox?" The director of Development Department 1 hesitated for a moment and asked. Deputy General Manager Li nodded and gave a definite answer: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be... But you don't have to worry too much. Sky Fox has promised that it will not interfere too much in our operations, and the personnel changes will not be too big. Most of them are changes in the senior management of the group." Mu Wanqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Although the director of Development Department 1 was skeptical, he didn't say anything else. "I can't believe it... After so many years of fighting with Tianhu, I'm finally going to be Tianhu's man." Among the people present, besides Deputy General Manager Li who sat in the first seat, the second calmest person was Xu Yan from Development Department 3. Hearing what Deputy General Manager Li said, he sighed. "Who could have thought of that?" The director of the Operations Department also said something. "Okay, don't spend too much time on this topic. Things haven't been settled yet. It's too early to sigh now. We still have to do our work." Deputy General Manager Li interrupted the two people's meaningless sighs: "Let's report this month's results first. Although it is said that the personnel changes below will not be too big, if it is really too bad, who knows what Tianhu will do, after all, they were rivals before." As soon as Deputy General Manager Li said this, the directors present immediately straightened their waists. Then, it was the usual report. Development Department 1 was still the first. What's more funny is that this time, the director of Development Department 1 sat down before he finished speaking, and specially emphasized the potential of the project in his hands at the end, and how much it has improved compared to last month. He looked like he had contributed to Yaoshi Software... There was no other way. After Tianhu acquired eBay , the two largest online game companies in China merged, which meant that if you wanted to find a job in the online game field that was the same as your current one or better, and also had a chance to be promoted, you had to go to Tianhu. You had a choice before. Now you don't even have a choice. None of the directors present wanted to lose their current jobs, and no one thought it was shameful for the director of Development Department 1 to do this. Everyone came out to make a living, and it wasn't easy. Next was Development Department 3. Xu Yan looked like a loser, after all, his project had always been the best in the company. Compared to him, the two departments behind him were a lot worse.
Finally,
everyone looked at Mu Wanqing with curiosity in their eyes.
Especially the directors of Development Departments 4 and 5.
Their idea was actually very simple.
If one department was at the bottom, and it was a very prominent bottom,
then they would not be so prominent...
But,
they changed their minds
and felt that something was wrong.
At the monthly meeting last month,
the test data of the turn-based online game of Development Department 2 was ridiculously good...
Could it be... really resurrected?
Facing the gazes of several directors,
Mu Wanqing slowly stood up, picked up the information she brought, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "After the new version was launched, "Fantasy OL" has developed rapidly. The number of registered users exceeded 2 million yesterday, and the number of online users exceeded... 350,000. In terms of revenue, the new version has not been launched for a quarter, so the sales revenue so far is about 90 million."
"..."
The string of numbers reported by Mu Wanqing
sounded like thunder.
All the directors present were stunned for a moment.
Although they knew that the test data of the turn-based online game of Development Department 2 was ridiculously good last month, you can't... be that outrageous, right?
What the hell?
"…How many people are online? How much sales revenue?"
Xu Yan was the first to ask, and his voice changed.
No wonder he was so shocked.
There are only more than 13 million online game users in this world, of which only more than 7 million are willing to pay. The more than 10 million people here are the total users of the entire game market.
If you still can't understand the meaning of 350,000 online people... let's talk about something that is easy to understand. In 2002, the most popular online game Legend on Earth had a maximum online number of 650,000.
And now the top turn-based online game "Tianhu Travels" has a peak online number of only 380,000.
You know, the average number of online people in online games here is only more than 2 million... 350,000 out of more than 2 million.
In just one and a half months.
Directly created the company's best data.
What kind of black magic is this! ?
"350,000, about 90 million."
Mu Wanqing looked at Xu Yan and reported it again out of politeness: "This is not the limit. There is still room for the number of registered people and online users to increase. I am very confident about this. To borrow the words of our chief planner Lin Yao, as the scale of the online game market grows and the number of online game users grows, we continue to open servers and speed up the development of subsequent versions, then the maximum number of simultaneous online users will likely reach one million."
"... One million!?"
Xu Yan's voice suddenly rose.
Chen Nuo's eyes burst into an unprecedented light.
