Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 596 His moves are bizarre

Tang Yan waited anxiously in the VIP room for more than ten minutes. The luxurious furnishings of the VIP room made him feel uneasy.

This is Momo Group.

The ultimate goal of every internet professional.

"Mr. Tang, please have some tea." A female secretary with an excellent figure placed a cup of tea in front of Tang Yan.

"Thank you, thank you." Tang Yan was so nervous that he could barely speak.

He only dared to sit on the edge of the leather sofa, his hands resting on his knees, his posture impeccable.

Under intense pressure, he did indeed experience some dryness in his mouth.

While the female secretary turned around, he immediately picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then put it back in its original position, continuing to maintain his standard sitting posture.

He's now certain he's had incredible luck, but he really wants to know why.

He even doubted whether this Mr. Cheng was actually a distant relative of his.

Aside from the reason involving a distant relative, he really couldn't find any other cause.

He has an average education, average abilities, attended an average university, and submitted an average resume.

Someone like him would be incredibly lucky to even get into NetEase Entertainment, let alone become Cheng Yi's assistant.

The more I think about it, the more outrageous it seems.

A moment later, the female secretary who had brought him over walked in and said politely, "Mr. Tang, President Cheng wants to see you."

"Ah, okay, okay..." Tang Yan was extremely nervous and stood up tremblingly, almost stumbling into Cheng Yi's ridiculously large office.

Cheng Yi had just finished his afternoon nap and was sitting behind his desk, still half asleep. When he saw Tang Yan come in, Cheng Yi couldn't help but look up.

That's right, it was Tang Yan, whom he used to know.

"Mr. Cheng... Hello! I, I am Tang Yan!" Tang Yan's voice trembled so badly that he almost kowtowed to acknowledge his kinship, but his remaining rationality made him hold back.

At this moment, we must not panic, we absolutely must not panic.

Cheng Yi smiled, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Sit down, don't be so nervous."

Tang Yan practically shuffled to the edge of the chair, sitting down with half his buttocks touching the edge, his heart pounding wildly, his mind racing.

He even started thinking about how to subtly probe the relationship with his relatives.

If Cheng Yi were to ask, "How is your aunt/aunt doing?", he would probably be even more excited than if he had won the lottery jackpot.

Before he could even gather his thoughts, Cheng Yi laughed and said, "No need to guess. I've checked the family tree, and our two families have no blood relation going back eighteen generations."

"Huh?" Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, his face turning bright red. It turned out that his little scheme had been seen through long ago.

A wave of immense embarrassment and even greater confusion washed over him. He looked up and, mustering his courage, asked, "Then...then why, Mr. Cheng..."

Cheng Yi didn't answer directly, but pushed a document in front of him and said, "This is what I had the internal research department do. It's about all the marketing cases of the projects you participated in during your time at NetEase, as well as some suggestions you made in the game community and forums, including quite a few for the planning of Honghuang Zhanji."

Tang Yan blankly opened the report, and when he saw his so-called 'suggestions' in the game community, his face immediately turned red.

[The event planners have such wild imaginations! They're creating such a terrible event, while players are grinding themselves to the point of exhaustion. Let's all send our insults to their entire family!]

The skill effects are getting increasingly flashy, the game environment is ignored, and all they do is create money-grabbing events for 520 and Qixi Festival! Garbage!

[On one hand, you lure players into the game by promising guaranteed value, while on the other hand, you keep releasing new equipment, forcing people to upgrade like a bottomless pit. Are you capitalists?]

……

"Okay, Mr. Cheng, I was just venting occasionally, I didn't mean it that way. I'm actually quite shy, but I can be a bit irritable online," Tang Yan quickly explained.

“What I value most about you is your temper. If you’re shy, then go back,” Cheng Yi said, looking directly at Tang Yan.

"Huh?" Tang Yan was taken aback. He quickly said, "President Cheng, I can actually be short-tempered too. Whether I'm shy or short-tempered is entirely up to you, President Cheng. I can handle it."

Seeing Tang Yan's shameless behavior, President Cheng immediately laughed.

This era is missing people like Tang Yan.

What are principles of chivalry and morality, or conscience and reputation? They are just obstacles in the way of entrepreneurs.

Cheng Yi smiled at Tang Yan, his eyes sharp, and said, "I still have a lot of faith in your abilities, but the position of president's assistant is not for you to enjoy yourself. If you don't do a good job, I will let you go immediately."

"I'm sure I can do it," Tang Yan assured him.

"Okay, go and complete the onboarding procedures," Cheng Yi said with a smile. "After you've finished the onboarding procedures, get used to the job first."

"it is good."

Tang Yan practically floated out of Cheng Yi's office, feeling as if he had just woken up from a bizarre dream.

He was led to the human resources department by the female secretary with a stunning figure. He felt dizzy the whole way, as if he were walking on cotton.

Signing contracts, recording fingerprints, obtaining access cards, collecting office supplies... all the processes were so efficient that he was astonished.

When he was led to a bright and clean private office, holding a brand-new laptop with the Momo Group logo and a high-end employee badge, he was still completely bewildered.

The office wasn't big, but for someone who spent most of his time in internet cafe booths and cubicles in the editorial department, it was paradise.

Brand new desks, ergonomic chairs, and Honor computers; the entire Momo Technology Industrial Park can be seen from the window.

"Assistant Tang, this is your office. President Cheng instructed that you can familiarize yourself with the environment today. The internal OA system and relevant background information on the World of Warcraft project have been prepared for you. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, President Cheng will personally convene the World of Warcraft project launch meeting, and you must attend." The female secretary's tone was professional, with just the right amount of respect.

"Okay, okay, thank you..." Tang Yan put the things down somewhat awkwardly and carefully sat down in the ergonomic chair that he had only ever seen on TV.

The door was gently closed, leaving him alone in the office.

silence.

Tang Yan took several deep breaths before slowly breaking free from the extremely unreal dizziness.

Private office!
He even has his own office now!

He looked around his office, touched the smooth desktop, and then picked up the name tag that read "[Tang Yan, Assistant to the President of Jingzhou Hammerstone Technology Co., Ltd.]" and stroked it repeatedly.

A surge of immense joy mixed with fear welled up inside him. "Damn... it really isn't a dream..." he muttered to himself, pinching his arm hard, wincing in pain, but then grinning foolishly.

The laughter didn't last long before the heavy pressure returned.

"Presidential assistant... World of Warcraft... What the hell am I good for?" He began to have deep doubts about himself.

His previous so-called marketing skills were nothing more than small-scale operations. He was good at posting nonsense and bragging on forums, and giving innocuous suggestions for games. But if he were to actually participate in the operation of a top-tier project that would attract global attention, he felt his mind go blank.

He forced himself to turn on the computer and log into the OA system.

Sure enough, it was already piled up with a large amount of project data, market analysis reports, competitor intelligence, and a thick stack of translated documents sent by Blizzard.

Just looking at the titles and summaries of those documents sent chills down Tang Yan's spine.

He had never even heard of many of the technical terms, data analysis models, and market strategies.

Soon, panic began to spread.

"Damn it! Don't back down!" Tang Yan slammed his fist on the table and cursed, "If a big shot like President Cheng dares to hire me, what the hell am I afraid of? If I don't understand something, I'll learn it; if I haven't seen it before, I'll ask. At worst, I'll just pack my bags and get out of here. Anyway, I had nothing to begin with."

A fierce, fearless spirit, like someone who has nothing to lose, welled up from the bottom of his heart.

He stopped looking at the macro reports that made him dizzy and instead went straight to player community forums, online communities, and various game videos and guides for foreign versions of World of Warcraft.

This is a place he is familiar with, and this is his area of ​​expertise.

He absorbed all the information about the game itself with great eagerness, while instinctively thinking in his own way.

He didn't think about the game design content because he knew his own level.

What he's thinking about now is how to quickly promote World of Warcraft.

Momo Group has already monopolized the internet cafe industry, so there's definitely no problem promoting World of Warcraft in internet cafes. However, according to the competitor intelligence mentioned in the document, Microsoft is very likely to create friction in the internet cafe industry.

Simply focusing on internet cafes carries significant risks.

As the report stated, World of Warcraft is like an egg; you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

The game "Honghuang Zhanji" currently relies mainly on Momo Internet Cafes. If World of Warcraft also relies on Momo Internet Cafes, then if Momo Internet Cafes are taken over by someone, then everything will be lost.

Thresh Technology's goal is to use World of Warcraft to accelerate the adoption of the Moc-os system.

This shows that World of Warcraft's role is not simply to ensure that the game is online.

We need to come up with some special methods.

I must come up with a special way to make President Cheng think more highly of me!
Tang Yan sat at his desk, deep in thought.

Tang Yan was startled awake as the sky outside the office gradually darkened and the streetlights downstairs turned on one by one.

He checked the time and realized it was already past 8 p.m.

He didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, he felt a long-lost sense of fulfillment and excitement.

He opened a blank document and began typing furiously, recording the scattered and even somewhat crude thoughts in his mind, regardless of whether they were reasonable or not, just to write them down first.

He knew that the challenges beginning tomorrow would be incredibly difficult, and countless eyes would be watching him, waiting to see him fail. But at this moment, he was perfectly clear-headed.

Anyway, things can't get any worse than they were yesterday.

Therefore, he was fearless.

Tang Yan sat there all night, his ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts, his eyes bloodshot, yet his gaze grew ever brighter, gleaming with excitement.

He completely abandoned the rigid frameworks of those high-level market analysis reports and, purely from the perspective of the grassroots internet cafe ecosystem and player psychology that he was most familiar with, conceived a plan that he believed would be absolutely effective.

When the morning sunlight streamed into his office through the blinds, the document in front of him was already filled with densely packed, unconventional ideas.

Looking at his masterpiece, he muttered to himself, "Damn, if this were NetEase, they'd probably take me straight to the police station. But Boss Cheng said that as long as it doesn't violate my conscience, I can use any means necessary..."

He took a deep breath, adopting a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude, printed out the plan, and prepared to present it at the upcoming project kickoff meeting.

At 9:00 AM, the internal kick-off meeting for the Smartisan Technology project was officially held.

The conference room was full of people, including Tang Yan and two other newly recruited president assistants, as well as elites drawn from various departments of the group and several consultants sent by Blizzard.

Each person had a thick, meticulous project plan and market analysis report in front of them.

After a brief opening, Cheng Yi turned his gaze to the first assistant and said, "Assistant Li, why don't you share your thoughts first?"

"Yes!" This assistant, Li, was a genuine high-achieving student with a lot of entrepreneurial experience. He stood up excitedly and began to talk at length about his plan.

His proposal was moderate, but also practical, and many people nodded in approval.

Soon after, Cheng Yi asked his second assistant to stand up and speak.

The second assistant was transferred from Momo Games, carrying a hint of the pride of a gaming overlord. His proposed plan was almost entirely based on Momo Internet Cafe, but it was extremely efficient. If it were actually implemented, World of Warcraft's online presence would definitely take a leap forward.

After the assistant finished his introduction, Cheng Yi looked at Tang Yan and smiled, "Assistant Tang, why don't you tell us what your initial thoughts are on the first promotion?"

Everyone looked at the new assistant who had been parachuted in and whose resume was rumored to be extremely unique, their eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

Tang Yan took a deep breath and stood up. He didn't have a PowerPoint presentation, only a few crumpled sheets of printed paper in his hand.

He cleared his throat, and his first words silenced the entire room.

"President Cheng, colleagues. I think our previous promotional strategies were too concerned with appearances."

In a word, it was earth-shattering.

Under the simultaneous interpretation of the interpreter, several Blizzard advisors immediately frowned.

Tang Yan said without regard for the consequences, "World of Warcraft is a good game, but even the best wine needs advertising. What we lack most right now is time. We absolutely cannot rely on word of mouth to slowly increase online traffic. If we want to explode in popularity quickly, we can't play by the rules. I've been thinking about this all night and come up with a few underhanded tricks. Although they sound a bit crude, they are definitely practical."

He quickly said, "Our first move is to recruit a group of girls who are good-looking, have sweet voices, and know how to play games. We'll package them as goddesses of Azeroth or the most beautiful mage in the Horde, and have them post revealing photos on the forum. The content isn't important; what matters is their looks and interaction. If we can also give the guys some small perks, that would be even better. And on the surface, their actions have nothing to do with us; they're just creating buzz and controversy to attract the attention of male players with excess hormones to our game!"

"The second move..."

Before Tang Yan could finish explaining his second move, several Blizzard advisors shook their heads with livid faces.
