Chapter 492 Men Love Harem

"Mr. Zhang"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang"

The senior management conference room of Longhai WeChat China headquarters.

As soon as the graceful Zhang Ning walked in, all the men and women in the conference room couldn't help but feel amazed.

Even though they, the senior executives of WeChat, have long been accustomed to President Zhang's stunning appearance, every time they see him, they still can't help but admire him from the bottom of their hearts.

There are many beauties, but there are only a handful of those who are so stunningly beautiful.

What is even more commendable is that she is not only beautiful, but also intelligent, capable and courageous.

"Everyone, sit down." Zhang Ning waved his hand and sat down in a very dignified manner.

As soon as she sat down and opened the first document in front of her, Zhang Ning's brows frowned beautifully.

"Mr. Zhang, we contacted Wangyi, but they rejected our proposal." A male executive stood up.

Since 2009, Wangyi Company has replaced Jiucheng of Longhai City and become the domestic agent for many Blizzard games, including the very profitable World of Warcraft.

But Wangyi’s agency contract is only for three years, which means it expires this year.

In addition, Blizzard will release a classic game Diablo III this year, so netizens are very much looking forward to it.

But now, Yang Huan has acquired Activision Blizzard, and the agency contract has just expired, so the agency rights must naturally be taken back.

There's no reason to let others make this money, right?

Therefore, WeChat’s suggestion was that since you no longer have the agency rights, you might as well just sell the server and the entire operation team to me as a package and negotiate the price.

But who would have thought that Wang Yi rejected this proposal.

It’s no wonder when you think about it, maybe the other person is angry right now.

I have been running the business for three years and have cultivated so many customers. But now, the agency contract has expired and I have nothing. Blizzard has the customer information and all the game data. I am simply working for others.

But this matter cannot be blamed on WeChat company.

Putting aside the fact that this is a business, didn’t Wangyi use this method to snatch the agency rights of World of Warcraft from Jiucheng back then?

Zhang Ning raised his head and immediately recognized that this was the head of the company's gaming department.

When the man felt Zhang Ning's gaze, he lowered his head involuntarily, feeling ashamed of himself.

I don’t know why, but every time I meet his gaze, my heart beats faster and I dare not look him in the eye.

It makes me feel ashamed just thinking about it. I'm almost 40 years old, but I'm still so useless.

"Since they are unwilling, then we will do it ourselves. The server and the entire operations team must be set up as soon as possible."

Zhang Ning made the decision without hesitation.

The crowd below couldn't help but be shocked.

"Mr. Zhang, this will require a considerable investment, and World of Warcraft has already begun to decline. I'm afraid..."

Zhang Ning interrupted him before he could finish.

"I know. I've done some research. World of Warcraft is still the most profitable game in the world, with more than 10 million users worldwide. With the launch of the new expansion pack, making money will definitely not be a problem."

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense.

"StarCraft II did not develop as well as expected in China, but this was not a problem with the quality of the game, but a problem with the operators. In the words of Master Huan, those guys made decisions on the spur of the moment and never considered the issue from the perspective of the players. They were all obsessed with money."

When he said this, Zhang Ning couldn't help but smile.

She really didn't realize that Master Huan was actually a fan of Blizzard. When she said this, she was full of resentment.

It seems like he has been cheated out of a lot of money by the Internet.

You know what, Zhang Ning didn't know that Yang Huan had been cheated out of a lot of money by the Internet in his previous life.

"So this time we have to make some changes. Not only should we synchronize the launch time of the game with the rest of the world, but we should also keep up with the world in terms of paid services, so that our domestic players will no longer have to go to Taiwan or Hong Kong, but can enjoy the highest level of official services in China."

After Zhang Ning finished speaking, the head of the game department who was still standing felt a little strange.

"Mr. Zhang, how do we make money?"

Zhang Ning smiled slightly, and that smile made countless people's hearts beat fast.

Stunning, really

"It's very simple. As long as the players gather together, there will be more possibilities. For example, without affecting the balance and playability of the game, we can provide some value-added services and some special services, such as the special mounts in World of Warcraft. I believe the possibilities are still quite large."

Everyone nodded again.

If players return and gather together, the operability will be very great, especially in terms of value-added services.

"And the game department needs to prepare. I've talked to Blizzard. Diablo III will definitely be released this year. We need to release it globally at the same time. As the most anticipated game of the year selected by major domestic websites and newspapers and magazines, we need to vigorously promote and publicize it and take this opportunity to make a splash."

It was still the middle-aged head of the game department, smiling bitterly.

"Mr. Zhang, synchronization is of course good, but in terms of approval..."

Everyone nodded continuously, as everyone knew that the approval process was always stuck.

"I've learned about it, and it's not a big problem. As long as we prepare in advance, I'll go and talk to you in person when the time comes."

Are you kidding? It's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. If Zhang Ning can't even handle such a small matter, how can she survive?

"So, the gaming department needs to work hard, the servers need to be the best, and the operations team needs to be the best, because we not only have World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Diablo III, but Valve's Dota 2 will also be launched soon."

The head of the gaming department couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this.

WeChat’s games are very profitable, but they are mostly in the field of mobile games, but very rarely in the field of PC games.

Now, the company has invested heavily and acquired Activision Blizzard and Valve, which has directly brought in a large number of high-quality games and driven the business development and improvement of the entire WeChat game department's p-domain.

Once Valve's gaming platform comes in, the entire gaming department will be amazing.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

"Okay, next topic."

Zhang Ning opened the second document and found that it was related to the WeChat video.

"Manager Li, the development of your WeChat video is still too slow." Zhang Ning closed the document and looked at another middle-aged Mediterranean man with some reproach.

The man broke out in sweat on his forehead. He was not the first one to be criticized by Mr. Zhang, and he would not be the last.

But I don’t know why, I still feel a lot of pressure.

"Mr. Zhang, we have tried our best, and..."

Zhang Ning didn't intend to listen to his explanation. "Our company has invested so much money to purchase programs and copyrights, but in the past six months, our development speed has not met my expectations at all. We will continue to increase investment in the second half of the year, and even next year we will launch many projects at the same time. How can I trust you to hand over such an important project?"

Manager Li's head and face were immediately covered in sweat. Was this a sign of being fired?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out a handkerchief from his pocket and wipe his bald bald head.

"Mr. Zhang, please give me a little more time, I..."

"Two months." Zhang Ning unceremoniously raised two spring onion-like fingers.

"I'll give you two more months at most. If you still can't make progress, you know what to do."

At this moment, Zhang Ning's momentum completely overwhelmed everyone present, just like Wu Zetian

"Also, Master Huan said that your video experience is terrible. Our company's philosophy is to put customers at the core."

Manager Li was surprised at first, then delighted, "Master Huan is using our WeChat video?"

Others immediately started paying attention.

"Of course, Master Huan uses WeChat video..." Zhang Ning stopped talking halfway.

The reason? It's weird.

Because Young Master Huan was actually watching Zhen Yan's Biography

My god, a grown man watching a drama about women fighting in the harem, this...

Well, Master Huan's reason is that this TV series is popular, and in order to keep up with the trend, you have to watch it.

Besides, he said, men all love harem

Well, actually, he doesn’t know that I’m also following every episode.

Zhang Ning was secretly delighted, but no one noticed because they were all stunned.

Master Huan actually uses WeChat video to watch the show?

Does that mean that other software and applications are also used?

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. After I return, I will immediately announce this news to the public. I guarantee that our department's performance will definitely increase and user experience will definitely improve. There will be no problem." The Mediterranean manager stood up and made the promise on the spot.

Looking at him, he seems to be full of energy.

It’s no wonder when you think about it. Young Master Huan is watching us. How can we not be more helpful?

After hearing his promise, Zhang Ning felt amused but was not surprised at all.

Master Huan's position in the company is quite high.

Sometimes, one word from him is much more effective than a hundred words from Ms. Zhang.

"Okay, this matter is..."

When he said this, a cell phone suddenly rang in the conference room.

Zhang Ning turned his head and saw that the assistant next to him was frantically trying to find the ringing cell phone and then timidly handed it to Zhang Ning.

"Master Huan, are you looking for me?" Zhang Ning answered the phone.

As soon as everyone heard that it was Young Master Huan calling, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Master Huan called at this time, what's the matter?

Yang Huan obviously didn't know that when he called, this meeting was taking place in Longhai, China. He just wanted to ask something.

"Zhang Ning, can you help me check the current value of the Premier League live broadcast copyright in China and its development potential in the next few years?"

"Premier League copyright? You want to buy the Premier League copyright?" Zhang Ning was a little surprised.

Many people in the conference room were stunned.

Premier League copyright?

That was the thing that brought down Tiansheng three years ago. The domestic industry says that anyone who gets involved in it will suffer huge losses.

Can I touch it?

"Yes, I am very interested."

"Why?" Zhang Ning was a little puzzled.

"No reason, I just think it's cheap," Yang Huan replied with a smile.

Zhang Ning smiled bitterly and said, "My young master, just buy it because you think it's cheap?"

There are so many cheap things in the world, can you buy them all?

But after the joke, Yang Huan still gave a serious reason.

"I've noticed that the competition for domestic copyrights is very fierce. Many high-quality resources are being sold at a high price. Some are even unwilling to sell their exclusive rights, which means we don't have much of an advantage."

Zhang Ning nodded. The battle for copyright has already begun in the domestic video industry.

“So you’re planning to buy the Premier League broadcasting rights?”

"Yes, didn't someone say it? I have what others don't, I am better than others, I am cheaper than others, I abandon others who are cheaper."

Zhang Ning immediately understood what Yang Huan meant.

When there are many copyrights owned by everyone, we have to rely on some exclusive copyrights to create a competitive advantage.

"Okay, I understand, I'll do it right away."

"Well, as soon as possible. I'm in London right now. Give me an answer within half an hour and I'll talk to them directly here."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

When Zhang Ning was talking on the phone, she spoke softly from beginning to end. Compared with the decisive Wu Zetian just now, she was completely like a little bird.

This also made everyone present look a little stunned.

I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang actually had this side.
