Chapter 218 The Penguin's reaction is very interesting (6k subscription required)

In early March 2015, shortly after resuming work after the Spring Festival, Mr. Ren was discussing the next year's strategic deployment with Penguin's senior management.

Mr. Ren was already very busy during this period of time. When he was browsing the documents that had been submitted recently, he suddenly saw Yao Qiguang appearing in Shangnan's report.

what's the situation?
Why did Yao Qiguang appear in Shangnan?
Mr. Ren was just stunned for a moment, then his mind raced and he almost understood why Yao Qiguang appeared in Shangnan.

Mr. Ren couldn't help but smile. He read the report again. The report confirmed that Yao Qiguang did appear in Shangnan. The document also included several photos of Yao Qiguang entering and leaving Shangnan Guang'an Online Game Company.

There was even a scene where Yao Qiguang was chatting and laughing with other employees of Nanguan'an Online Games.

This shows that Yao Qiguang has "joined" Nanguang'an Online Game Company.

But...are they so anxious?
Yao Qiguang was still under a non-compete agreement, and there wasn't much time left on the agreement. But Mr. Lu from Nanguang'an Online Games just didn't want to endure it and directly poached Yao Qiguang who was still in the non-compete period.

At Mr. Ren's level, people would think twice about many things. At this moment, he was wondering whether Yao Qiangguang's appearance in Shangnan was a long-planned event, or whether Mr. Xiao Lu from Shangnan had received the news early on?
Recalling Yao Qiguang's performance at the Penguin Park, Mr. Ren is more inclined to believe that Xiao Lu always received the news of Yao Qiguang's resignation and then began to recruit Yao Qiguang.

After all, there were signs that Yao Qiguang wanted to resign. With competition among the four major studios so fierce, and especially with the emergence of a young and strong Zeng Lun lurking behind them, the presidents of the four major studios all felt the pressure.

It is normal for Yao Qiguang to leave because he couldn't stand the pressure.

Even if we take a step back and say that even if there is a possibility that Lu Yao was behind Yao Qiangguang's resignation, Mr. Ren doesn't care.

He left because he couldn't stand the pressure and the temptation from the outside world. This was enough to show that Yao Qiguang was not suitable for survival in Penguin. What's more, Yao Qiguang was not his direct subordinate, nor was he the core of other factions within Penguin.

He was just recruited by Vice President Tang, the group's vice president. Although Vice President Tang is now in a high position, he actually does not have much power.

So Yao Qiguang's elimination may not be a bad thing for Mr. Ren.

Mr. Ren leaned back in his comfortable boss chair, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the armrests. Many thoughts came to his mind. After a long while, he smiled and said, "Interesting."

After thinking for a while, Mr. Ren leaned forward, picked up the phone and called his secretary, asking him to notify Timi Studio's acting president Wang Xiaoyong, technical director Ji Zefeng, Guangliang Studio's president Chen Yu, and "Legend of the Brave" project manager Zeng Lun to come to his office.

These are all Mr. Ren’s trusted followers and the backbone of the new generation of the interactive entertainment business group. Mr. Ren has high hopes for them.

As for the directors in charge of other departments of the Interactive Entertainment Business Group, Mr. Ren did not allow them to come.

There are many interesting things about the fact that Yao Qiguang was poached by Nanguang'an. If they make a big show of acquiring Nanguang'an, then who knows what trouble Guang'an's boss, Mr. Lu, will cause.

Now Penguin's interactive entertainment business group has finally gained a good influence in society thanks to "League of Legends", and its stock price is also booming. It is not good to be plagued by negative public opinion now.

Therefore, Mr. Ren did not intend to use company-level means to impose punishment. He wanted to see what the young people under him thought about this matter.

soon.

Zeng Lun, Chen Yu, Wang Xiaoyong, and Ji Zefeng all came to Mr. Ren's office.

Mr. Ren asked them to sit in the reception area of ​​his office, and then he personally made tea for them. While making tea, he chatted with them about how they spent the Spring Festival, whether it was hard, and whether they had any special difficulties that needed his help to solve.

When everyone said they could handle it and the atmosphere was quite good, Mr. Ren finally got to the point of the day. He took out the photocopied materials and distributed them to the four people. After they finished reading, Mr. Ren asked, "What do you think about this?"

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Yao Qiguang was quietly recruited to Shangnan.

As for how he viewed this matter...he actually never regarded Yao Qiguang as an opponent. Even before Zeng Lun appeared, Chen Yu was very confident that he would enter the management of the Interactive Entertainment Business Group.

Until Zeng Lun appeared behind.

As for Yao Qiguang's resignation and being poached, if you really want to trace it back, he also played a role behind it. However, in his opinion, Yao Qiguang is indeed not suitable for fighting in a Shura field like Penguin, and it may not be a bad thing for him to go to Shangnan.

It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Chen Yu thought so in his heart, but said solemnly and sadly: "Old Yao, this is really wrong. If I remember correctly, he should still be in the non-competition period, right?"

Chen Yu, who is good at office struggles, first said a few repetitive words, and then dug a trap at the end of his words.

As expected, the younger Zeng Lun, who was more competitive and enterprising, seemed to be enlightened and said, "We must investigate this matter. Yao Qiguang controls many of our core production materials and is still in the non-compete period. We must ask the legal department to hold him accountable. At the same time, we must count the intangible assets inside and examine whether Yao Qiguang's behavior will cause great damage to the company. If necessary, we may have to adjust internal strategies."

Zeng Lun thinks a lot and talks a lot.

He felt that Mr. Ren must have asked them to come over for a specific solution and plan, rather than throwing the problem back with words like "right" or "maybe".

After listening to Zeng Lun's words, Wang Xiaoyong glanced at Zeng Lun calmly, thinking that this young man was still too young. He actually took the initiative to step into the trap that was so obvious in Chen Yu's words.

Zeng Lun said a lot and the suggestions he made were very specific.

But in the workplace, the more you say, the better; nor is the more detailed, the better. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make; the more you do, the easier it is to make more mistakes. Zeng Lun has not yet fully understood this principle.

After Zeng Lun finished speaking, he found that everyone was silent. He soon realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while. He looked at Mr. Ren with some trepidation, but all he saw was Mr. Ren's amiable smile.

After Mr. Ren smiled and encouraged Zeng Lun, he looked at Wang Xiaoyong and Ji Zefeng.

Both of them are from Timi Studio. Wang Xiaoyong is the candidate to replace Yao Qiguang, and Ji Zefeng is the technical director of Timi Studio and also Yao Qiguang's right-hand man.

Mr. Ren looked at them and asked, "What do you two think about this matter? Will Yao Qiguang's joining Shangnan have a big impact on the projects you have on hand?"

Ji Zefeng is a technician, so he would only speak from a technical perspective in such situations: "I don't think it will have much impact. Although Brother Yao is also a technician, he hasn't been on the front line for many years. He doesn't have much of the technology we are studying."

"As for the others... I believe Brother Yao and Shangnan will not try to trick us."

That's simply like a birthday guy eating arsenic - seeking death.

Wang Xiaoyong also said: "My thoughts are similar to Ji Zefeng's. It can't be called a threat."

Showing kindness to someone who is not a threat can help you gain favorability points, both with Mr. Ren and in public opinion.

After Wang Xiaoyong finished speaking, Chen Yu followed up by saying, "Although I am not from the same studio as Mr. Yao, I also believe in Mr. Yao's character. Although Mr. Yao has been in and out of Shangnan Guang'an, he may not have really joined Guang'an Network."

A non-compete agreement is a restriction, but there are many ways to circumvent it.

They just said they had made friends with Shangnan, so what was wrong with hanging out at their friend's company? As for the salary, it could be solved with a fund.

Therefore, even if they pursue legal action, it may end up in nothing, especially since he won’t recognize Nanshan’s law.

In the end, it would easily end up with the legal officers on both sides casting spells from a distance, and then after the battle, it would be summarized that neither side had lost any health.

After a brief pause, Chen Yu continued, "And according to the tone of Mr. Lu from Shangnan, if we really catch them and investigate, they will definitely make a big fuss about it. Mr. Yao's own technical ability is not important, but his qualifications are a bargaining chip."

"If we can't gain a legal foothold, it will be easier for Mr. Lu to seize the opportunity and step on us to gain traffic."

Those present here know better than anyone what traffic means in the Internet era.

Even from a conspiracy point of view, Shangnan's purpose in poaching Yao Qiangguang may be to file a lawsuit against Penguin.

In recent years, the reputation of Penguin Nanshan Pizza Hut is even bigger than that of Penguin itself. With Mr. Lu's understanding of the Internet, if he takes on the lawsuit from Penguin and then takes advantage of everyone's resentment towards Penguin on the Internet and wins a wave of traffic by taking an unconventional approach, he will make a fortune.

After hearing Wang Xiaoyong and Ji Zefeng's comments on Yao Qiguang, Zeng Lun's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

He thought it was simple.

And when Chen Yu began to speak in Yao Qiguang's favor and even pointed out Shangnan's possible thoughts and conspiracies, Zeng Lun was under tremendous pressure and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Aren’t these people so insidious?

Especially this Chen Yu, he is so insidious!
Earlier, he had been secretly cooperating with Nan to make things difficult for him and to make things difficult for him. Now, he was being hit on the head for no apparent reason, making his previous remarks seem too simple and naive.

What a mess!

Zeng Lun lowered his head, and the masseter muscles on both sides of his cheeks were bulging like steel bars.

President Ren had been listening quietly to his subordinates' words, but when he heard Chen Yu's words, he couldn't help but nod several times.

Chen Yu does think a lot and is indeed more suitable to be a manager.

Wang Xiaoyong and Ji Zefeng were also good people. They remembered their past friendship and didn't say anything too harsh, nor did they plan to do anything too ugly.

Zeng Lun...

Still too young.

Mr. Ren said with a smile: "You all have good ideas. There are indeed many things that need to be considered in this matter. I need to think about it based on your suggestions. Okay, you all go back to your work."

The four of them immediately stood up, said goodbye and left Mr. Ren's office one by one.

After they left, President Ren sat in the reception area, patting the armrest of the sofa. No one knew what he was thinking about. He didn't even move when his secretary came in to pack up.

But not long after, the secretary who had just packed up and left suddenly came in and said, "Mr. Ren, Manager Zeng is back to see you."

Ok?
Mr. Ren couldn't help but tilt his head and smile.

interesting.

Mr. Ren said to his secretary, "Let him in."

Soon Zeng Lun returned to the reception area. He sat on the sofa with only half of his butt respectfully, and humbly asked: "Mr. Ren, I don't quite understand what happened just now. Are we just going to let it go? If we don't hold people accountable, won't other employees in the company have some opinions?"

"The most important thing is that Shangnan Guangan first poached Feng Ji and his group who left our place, and now they have poached Yao Qiguang. It won't sound good if this gets out."

These people can't make good things at Penguin, so how come they can make good things there?
Once the variable method was introduced, Penguin had to reflect. Zeng Lun's humble attitude of seeking advice made Mr. Ren very satisfied, and Zeng Lun's attitude also successfully stimulated Mr. Ren's side of being a teacher.

So Mr. Ren answered him: "There must be a basis for investigation. It is easy to make a fool of yourself if you act hastily. If there are indeed similarities between our project and the products produced by Nanguangan in the future, then it is time for the legal department to take action."

"So we have to be patient. As for doing nothing now... that won't happen."

Mr. Ren said with a smile: "As for how to do it, we need to use some unconventional methods. For example, we need to mess up their internal affairs."

Zeng Lun suddenly realized: "Shangnan Guang'an is still recruiting people. We can ask some of our partner companies to send some people over there."

Mr. Ren smiled and said, "It's not that troublesome. The Internet is so developed now, and Mr. Lu has a good background. It's easy to investigate if we send someone over. Even if these people go in, they won't be entrusted with important tasks in the early stages. So if we want to mess them up, we have to mess up their original people, preferably the management."

Zeng Lun was confused.

Mr. Ren smiled and said, "For example—"

“Make them proud.”

……

Go south, on Cuizhou in Moling Lake.

This is one of the islands in the center of Moling Lake. Cuizhou is a secluded island with many trees, including giant umbrella-like cedars, pagoda-shaped pines and cypresses, and large tracts of bamboo forests. The environment is very quiet.

Although the severe cold in Shangnan is still there, the scenery on the island in the middle of the lake is still comfortable and beautiful.

At this moment, Lu Yao was drinking tea and enjoying the scenery with Gan Xiaoxi in a teahouse here. Gan Xiaoxi now also serves as the human resources director of Shangnan Guangan, and is also in charge of external intelligence gathering.

So after chatting for a while, Gan Xiaoxi took out a file from her bag and handed it to Lu Yao, saying, "Shencheng already knows that Yao Qiguang has come to our side, and has confirmed it, but Shencheng has not taken any action."

Lu Yao felt a little sorry: "Is that so~"

Gan Xiaoxi knew from Lu Yao's stern look that he was up to no good, so she asked with a malicious look on her face, "You're hoping that Penguin Legal will come after you, right?"

"You don't know how powerful Penguin Legal is."

Lu Yao was happy.

Penguin’s legal department is indeed powerful, but that is based on the premise that the behavior does have a negative impact on Penguin. Take the time when the head of 360 was caught, for example. Why did Penguin dare to capture him from a distance?

The main reason is that 360 really hit Penguin's vital point that time. 360QQ Bodyguard can directly copy all the contacts in QQ to 360 locally, and then generate a social system within 360.

What does this equate to?
This is equivalent to digging up the penguin's roots. Compared with this, the 360QQ bodyguard's function of blocking pop-ups is not worth mentioning at all.

That crisis even stunned the entire Penguin team. It was a crushing defeat in terms of technological strength. 360's completely viral invasion left the Penguin team with no ability to fight back, so it had to resort to tricks.

That was also the first Internet war in the country. Even the relevant departments didn’t know how to deal with such a thing, which led to Penguin’s glorious preemptive victory.

Today, Penguin Legal’s ability to help people get a “iron rice bowl” is still top-notch.

But between companies, he is rarely able to do so.

First, the relevant laws have been established, and second, the impact of doing so is too bad. Even if it is not a life-and-death crisis, it will never do this again.

and so.

When Lu Yao joined forces with ByteDance, Xiaomi Interactive Entertainment and their games to establish a "social + game" development strategy, Penguin did not reproduce its magical skills of the past. Instead, it took out 1 billion in cash to create Penguin Accounts, using the empowerment of Penguin's inherent social system to create economies of scale, thereby defeating ByteDance.

As for Yao Qiguang's joining Nanguang'an Online Game Company, Lu Yao did take precautions, so he was not afraid of a sneak attack from Penguin's legal department.

Even Lu Yao was ready for a big fight with Penguin's legal department, and had figured out how to use the Internet to play the emotional card and rally his side to trample on Penguin.

This is actually very simple.

Penguin is well-known, and Lu Yao is also well-known. Just a little hype can trigger public opinion.

The majority of netizens' hatred for penguins is Lu Yao's best weapon against penguins.

such a pity.

There was no movement from the penguins.

Lu Yao leaned against the window of the teahouse, looking at the lake view in the distance and thinking silently in his heart.

First, Feng Ji and his team came over, and then Yao Qiguang was also poached over. The disgusting thing alone was enough to make them sick, so how could they just sit there and do nothing?

If they don't do it openly, it means that the penguins are going to do it secretly.

Lu Yao was happy.

A conspiracy is a plot by the weak against the strong, but the strong never bother to use conspiracy against the weak, because the strong can simply crush them with violence.

This is what Penguin did before. When Lu Yao came out with "Shoot the Shoot" and it performed well, Penguin immediately mobilized troops and set up a studio to come out with "Legend of the Brave", and then started to beat "Shoot the Shoot" head on.

This is a thousand times more brutal and cruel than any conspiracy.

But the arrogant penguin never thought there was anything wrong with this.

If you are weak, you deserve to die.

The rules of survival on the Internet are so primitive and bloody.

And now, they have actually started to use this method against Lu Yao and Guang'an Online Games.

Lu Yao said happily: "The penguin is planning to play dirty tricks on us. Oh, I am a little excited to be targeted like this."

This kind of targeting is simply a "certification of strength" from Penguin.

Gan Xiaoxi smiled speechlessly: "Bangyou, you have a serious brain disease. You are so happy when people target you."

Lu Yao said excitedly: "This at least shows that we are a good dish."

Next, it depends on what tactics the penguin will use.

……

Time progressed step by step, and the projects of various companies under Lu Yao's name were also progressing in an orderly manner. In fact, due to the vigorous development of Lu Yao's company, the area around their office building gradually became lively.

The level of prosperity has increased significantly compared to last year.

During this period, Lu Yao has been on guard against possible dirty tricks from Penguin, so he often goes down to the grassroots level to chat with many grassroots employees, and even occasionally secretly eavesdrops on their conversations.

Only when you have a clear understanding of every aspect of the company can the boss truly control the company.

As a company grows bigger, the idea of ​​being a hands-off manager is extremely dangerous.

Once you have this idea, the people below you will join hands to deceive you for the sake of their own interests, and those who are just sitting there doing nothing will turn into blood-sucking worms and slowly suck your company dry from the inside out.

Lu Yao had seen many such cases when he was studying abroad in the future.

He Xiaopeng, the founder of Xiaopeng, has suffered losses in this regard.

When he made Xpeng Motors famous and Xpeng Motors gradually grew in scale, Mr. Peng began to adopt the hands-off mode. He led the team to pursue technological singularity, and then to raise money, explore, and expand.

In his spare time, he even has time to watch the anime "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

But he soon discovered something was wrong.

Xpeng Motors has obviously raised a lot of money, but the company's financial statements are getting uglier and uglier, and even the company's operating conditions are getting worse and worse. The Xpeng Motors that he carefully built is like a raging fire, seemingly prosperous, but in fact in danger.

So after in-depth learning from other Internet giants, he finally realized his own problems.

The fundamental reason is that there is an entire team of blood-sucking worms parasitizing inside Xiaopeng Motors. They are feasting on the entire supply chain and working together to deceive President Peng.

Later, under the guidance of experts, Mr. Peng carried out drastic reforms on Xiaopeng Motors, cutting off the blood-sucking bugs, reorganizing the supply chain, shifting from a technology-oriented to a customer-oriented approach, and personally tearing down departmental walls and building horizontal processes to ensure that technology could be transformed into experience differences that the market could perceive.

This process is very tiring.

But if the company cannot take control of the entire process, especially those related to procurement and supply chain, then problems will definitely arise.

It was only after this experience that Xiaopeng Motors, which had been drained of its blood for a long time, began to slowly recover.

What's interesting is that the team that sucked blood from the supply chain has a mature industrial system. After being expelled from Xpeng Motors by President Peng, they were quickly absorbed into another new energy vehicle manufacturing company through a certain executive, and then lost tens of billions in just three years.

When it declared bankruptcy three years later, the hole in its books was as high as 70 billion...

Therefore, when running an entity, procurement and supply chain must be handled by your own people. If not, you must take charge of it yourself!
This was also the reason why Rong Nianqing spent a huge amount of money to poach Wang Shu.

Lu Yao now also has an entity in his hands, but part of the entity belongs to the AI ​​data construction side, and Lu Yao has no right to interfere in the accounts there.

Lu Yao asked Liu Mulin to be in charge of the accounts of Huanxie Technology. Liu Mulin was a professional manager trained by the Rong family. Lu Yao did not trust Liu Mulin, but believed in Rong Nianqing.

It is much easier to control all links of the remaining Internet companies than to control the supply chain of complex entities.
