Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Boss Ding returned to his office. He held his anger in and called his assistant over.

"Where's Jin Yong? Call him over!"

The assistant saw that Boss Ding's expression was not good. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Ding, Jin Yong… has knocked off."

Boss Ding frowned and suppressed his anger. "Call Boss Kang over then!"

He could not have a conflict with Min Jingchao directly. It was mainly on Pei Qian's account.

What's more, it was the upper echelons' idea to invite Min Jingchao to help. No matter how unhappy Boss Ding was, he could not show it at this time.

However, it was indeed a little difficult for Boss Ding to suppress the anger in his heart.

This was especially so for Boss Ding, a high-level executive of the company. He had to work overtime, but Min Jingchao brought his employees to knock off on time!

How could that be?

Boss Kang came very quickly.

Boss Ding's anger was still there. "Old Kang, you should have seen it, right? The improvement plan is not even complete yet, but everyone is running faster than the other!"

"I haven't learned Tengda's good habits, but I've contracted a rich disease!"

"Tengda got off work on time because its employees are very active and efficient. What's the situation with our employees? They're all lazy, stupid, and not working hard!"

"The employees have to take a break and rest. You can learn Tengda's model! However, the prerequisite is that you have to complete the work task first, right?"

"Doesn't the improved plan have to be done within three days? They are not even willing to work overtime for an hour. How can it be completed?"

"Old Kang, tell Jin Yong to communicate with Min Jingchao about the current objective situation of our company."

"When Min Jingchao was working on the operations plan, he could analyze the specific problems. Why did he suddenly start to cut it off roughly in the working hours system?"

Boss Kang pretended to listen to Boss Ding's opinion seriously and smiled. "Boss Ding, I understand how you feel!"

"However, you know Min Jingchao's attitude. I think Jin Yong would definitely not accept it with his character to try and persuade him."

"What's more, isn't it not time yet? If the plan really can't be completed on time, we would have enough confidence to look for Min Jingchao then!"

Boss Ding was still a little indignant. "I agree with Min Jingchao's concept of game operations, but he obviously knows nothing about company management!"

"The company has so many complicated problems. How can one solve them all by getting off work on time? He's obviously trying to copy Tengda's management model!"

"Boss Pei formulated a strategy for Tengda to get off work on time. There must be other supporting measures. Everyone knows that Boss Pei is a rare talent in management, but Min Jingchao might not be!"

"I'm very uneasy about the way the company is managed by him!"

Boss Kang did not know how to respond. He could only appease him. "Boss Ding, we were the ones who invited him. The agreement has been signed. I think we should give him more time to observe!"

Boss Ding could only nod helplessly seeing Boss Kang say that. "Alright, let's observe more."

May 24th, Friday.

In the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed.

The series of changes in Long Yu Corporation were unknown to gamers.

However, an announcement that appeared on Long Yu Corporation's official website today caused a huge uproar among players!

There were gamers' forums on Long Yu Corporation's official website. These forums were divided into special zones for different games. Most of the special zones were usually cold and deserted.

After all, most players preferred to discuss in the gamers' group chat or other forums. They would usually complain or diss on the official forums.

However, today, the cold and deserted forum suddenly became lively!

There were suddenly many discussions about Long Yu Corporation's operations game on other forums.

This official announcement was not long, but it was completely different from the previous announcement.

"Look at the new announcement released by Long Yu Corporation. They are actually going to make adjustments to the operating plan for all 16 games!"

"Do we have to specially make an announcement to adjust the operations plan? We can just adjust it directly!"

"That's right. Long Yu Corporation has secretly changed the game drop rate and paywall standards in the past. They have never released an announcement!"

"It seems to be for real this time. Many improved plans look very tempting!"

"Did Long Yu Corporation take the wrong medicines? Has it changed?"

"Long Yu Corporation's operations and planning have always been known as people who don't understand games. The plan this time actually looks quite good! I just don't know how it will be carried out in the end."

This announcement was like a fuel agent, rekindling gamers' passion for these games!

Long Yu Corporation had often released announcements before this, including various types. However, it had never been as effective as this time.

After all, the content of this announcement was really explosive!

The announcement this time was to make adjustments to the operations plan of the 16 games under Long Yu Corporation. What's more, it was to determine different adjustments according to the different games.

Many of the problems that had been criticized had basically been relieved!

Games with high paywalls might not be able to get rid of the gameplay with high paywalls at once, nor did they greatly reduce the price of paywalls, but there were at least improvements!

On the other hand, some games that were originally thought to be on the brink of death underwent drastic changes. This made the eyes of the old players who were still persevering shine.

The rarest thing was that many of these changes were the players' urgent requests!

Of course, gamers had so many requests. They could not satisfy every one of them.

However, the official platform could pick out a relatively reasonable part from the players' demands and modify it into the game. At the very least, they could make a posture to listen to the players' thoughts.

That was a huge improvement in itself!

Many people were even puzzled. What was wrong with Long Yu Corporation? Why was the operations department's brain suddenly online?

In the past, gamers had been arguing crazily in the forum. They could not wait to rush to Long Yu Corporation and kill the entire family of the operations department. Long Yu Corporation had always ignored them?

Many people in the know took the opportunity to expose it.

"I heard that he worked deeply with Tengda and sent Min Jingchao to reorganize there before giving this reform plan!"

"Min Jingchao? That can't be wrong. He's definitely a big boss. It would definitely be much better for him to operate these games than those stupid b * stards. I hope he doesn't leave after he arrives!"

"I heard that Min Jingchao has also improved the working atmosphere of Long Yu Corporation after he came. All the departments that have cooperative relationships with Tengda have to knock off on time!"

"How can this thing be modified? Getting off work on time. Isn't that up to the boss?"

"It looks like Min Jingchao came prepared. He's probably prepared!"

"All in all, this is something worth celebrating. At first, I wanted to give up on the pit, spend money, and intensify my efforts. I'm really about to puke! Now that Min Jingchao is here, there's hope for this game to continue!"

The cheers online were very welcoming!

…

Jin Yong could not help but feel emotional as he read the discussions online.

He only released an announcement, but he could already receive such a good impact!

He had not expected this!

This was different from the situation in Bullet Hole 2.

Bullet Hole 2 was a new game after all. Players were more tolerant of it. It was normal for their good-hearted operating model to obtain a lot of good reviews.

However, the games that were going to be modified this time were all old games. It was really surprising that the change in the operations plan could obtain the support of so many players!

This meant that players knew very well which operation plan was sincere and which operation plan was not sincere. They could tell at a glance.

What's more, Jin Yong could feel that the atmosphere in the entire department had changed significantly because of Min Jingchao.

On one hand, it was his work attitude. On the other hand, it was his work thinking.

In terms of working attitude, everyone was now completely used to clock in and out of work on time. At the same time, they were also used to using ARS to upload all the work and strictly abide by the work requirements.

The expected work delay did not happen!

That was because most people's work efficiency was originally very low. They were basically slacking after work in the morning and eating and sleeping in the office in the afternoon. It was already afternoon when they really started work.

On the surface, he looked like he had been working for more than 10 hours a day. However, in reality, he had only worked for three or four hours!

The working time was not clear. On the surface, there was a lot of working time, but in reality, there was very little working time. It was very easy to misjudge the working cycle. Naturally, it was very easy to delay.

However, everyone had the habit of knocking off on time after getting off work on time. Many people's work efficiency had obviously improved after Min Jingchao's guidance.

Everyone could clearly calculate the working time and workload every day and consciously improve efficiency. Instead, they could complete their work as scheduled.

The people in charge of operations were also similar to Min Jingchao's thinking in terms of work thinking.

This so-called idea did not refer to the difference between games with paywalls or good-hearted games. Instead, it referred to the difference in the design direction.

Long Yu Corporation's operating strategy had been criticized previously because its operating plan design was completely profitable and active. Everything was based on systems!

No matter what marketing plan he made, Boss Ding only looked at whether the income increased after the release of this plan, whether the number of active online players and the length of online time increased!

It naturally caused a situation: These person-in-charge no longer looked at their own game understanding and player demands, but from the data.

In order to improve the plan and to increase the number of active players, he could only change the game to be more hardworking and paywalls. He could change continuously and stimulate players to top up and be online for a long time.

As time went by, it would definitely cause players to have reverse psychology. However, once they stopped, there would be a huge drop in data!

A vicious cycle began!

However, Min Jingchao's thinking was from the perspective of a designer. He fully considered the players' demands and combined the actual situation of the game to formulate an operating plan!

Most of these person-in-charge of game operations were experienced people in the game industry. They had played many games and understood the principle of many operations.

Was it really his personal ability that restricted them?

In fact, it was the data indicator requirements that restricted them!

Once they were released from this requirement and fully displayed their subjective initiative, the situation would change drastically!

Under Min Jingchao's lead, all the person-in-charge felt that the working method was completely different from before.

If their passion for work was stimulated, they would naturally be rewarded!

In the short term, once the new operating plan of these games was released, it would definitely cause the game's data to fluctuate. There would be a decline in online data or charging data.

This was a little similar to a withdrawal reaction. There would always be a period of adaptation.

However, once they reversed the situation, the future would naturally enter a virtuous cycle!

The answer would be revealed soon as he stared at the effect of this new operating plan.
