After that, the president's office of Longteng Group issued a public letter to all project team employees.
In the public letter, the president's office explained the handling decision for Fan Langtao, who was suspected of bribery: blacklisted, never hired, and prosecuted.
Of course, the group decided to protect the executives who were bribed.
After receiving the dismissal notice from the personnel department, Fan Langtao left with a gloomy look.
Back at his desk, he found that someone had scattered paper scraps all over his desk, with the words "loser" and "bribery offender" written on them, obviously deliberately mocking him.
The people around him pierced him with sharp eyes, and many of them were employees who had been tortured by him with various overtime methods before.
"..."
Fan Langtao walked out of the office silently.
At the door, a colleague who had been deliberately made things difficult for him before blocked his way and said with a sneer: "Manager Fan, it seems that your level is just like that. After a long time, it turns out that you relied on petty tricks that couldn't be put on the table to get to the top?"
"I don't want to argue with you."
The moment Fan Langtao walked out of the office holding a cardboard box, another colleague who had been bullied by him suddenly rushed forward and splashed a glass of water on him, mocking:
"Oh, I'm really sorry, but you can take a bath by the way to see if you can wash away those dirty deals on you."
Fan Langtao's fist clenched, then quickly released.
When he walked to the elevator entrance, there were also many project team colleagues in the elevator. They deliberately pressed the wrong elevator button, making him wait for a long time.
In the elevator car, someone suddenly satirized loudly:
"Wow, Manager Fan is leaving work so early today. It seems that we don't have to work overtime anymore."
Many colleagues around him had suffered from Fan Langtao's overtime nonsense before, so they deliberately squeezed forward with dissatisfaction, directly squeezing Fan Langtao into the corner of the elevator car, his face almost touching the elevator.
Ding-ling!
With a crisp sound, the elevator door finally opened.
Fan Langtao was relieved and fled the elevator as if he had been granted amnesty, followed by the colleagues' burst of laughter.
In the parking lot in front of the building, Fan Langtao was waving to stop a taxi. His colleagues deliberately snatched a car in front of him, preventing him from getting in the car in time.
When his colleagues got into the car, they shook down the car window one after another, raised their middle fingers at him, and made mocking whistles.
One of them smiled and wished: "Manager Fan, hurry home and set up a street stall to do some small business. That's the stage that suits you, hahahahaha!"
The taxi sped away, and Fan Langtao looked around at the surrounding skyscrapers, feeling extremely dispirited and confused.
Could it be that what they said is true?
Is he, Fan Langtao, really destined to be a loser for the rest of his life?
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of the big screen across the road, which was playing an interview with Xiaohutuxian Company by [Huaguo Business Weekly].
Listening to Hu Tu's praise of Lu Yu in his ears, his mind kept replaying the various revolving lantern of constantly losing to Lu Yu since college.
"There's...nothing...to miss anymore..."
Fan Langtao dragged his suitcase and walked into the shadow of the subway station with a lonely figure.
As the loser of the flagship FPS battle, he and Wu Liang completely withdraw the game circle.
...
At the same time, Pei Shengnan's office.
Pei Shengnan simply glanced at the personnel decision on Fan Langtao and threw the document away.
For him, it doesn't matter how to deal with such a small fry.
What he cares more about now is how to carry out the expansion in the VR era in the future.
For this reason, he is now holding a video conference.
On the screen are three generals who are charging for him in the field of VR business - the operation director of the VR industrial park, the R\u0026D director of VR hardware equipment, and the product director of the VR software ecosystem.
Continuing the meeting, Pei Shengnan's tone contained undisguised anger:
"I heard that Jiang Lei went to hack the Taoyuan Township server, but he was frustrated... Gentlemen, don't you think it's embarrassing? Embarrassing!"
Pei Shengnan slammed the table angrily, startling the three people on the other side:
"Could it be that my dignified Longteng Group, one of the top 500 in the world! The domestic super-first-tier interactive entertainment business group!
If we leave these underhanded tricks, we will be unable to move, and we can't even beat a small factory that has been starting a business for a year?!"
As soon as this remark came out! There was silence in the video conference!
These words were so embarrassing that even Pei Shengnan himself didn't know how to proceed.
Pei Shengnan felt bitter in his heart!
As the most powerful competitor for Pei's family heir, Pei Shengnan was originally full of confidence in the group's VR business,
What's more, those who are competing with him are just women like Liu Lan, and inexperienced young men like Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan.
For example, Liu Mengyuan,
Before, he had inquired about it from many parties. This girl, who is most likely to become the heir of the Liu family in the future,
As a result, all the feedback he got was "gluttonous and lazy" and "stupid and incompetent."
At first, he also thought that being able to serve as the vice president of Taoyuan Township was entirely due to Liu Mengyuan's relationship with Lu Yu as a couple, and she was just a mascot in business.
But now he understands that Lu Yu's corporate management style is inseparable from the help of Liu Mengyuan, a good wife and helpmate... This girl is growing so fast, I'm afraid she is also influenced by Lu Yu...
That's right!
Lu Yu!
Pei Shengnan's eyes gradually sharpened.
He, Pei Shengnan, a top practitioner who has been ups and downs in the business world for more than 30 years and has experienced great storms!
He actually lost to Lu Yu, a newcomer who had just emerged in the game circle, after using all kinds of fair and unfair competition methods!
Moreover!
Under the multiple siege offensives of Longteng, Tenghui, and Youyi, he completed the breakthrough! What else can Pei Shengnan say?
Is it really that his side is too weak?
Of course not.
The CrossFire selected this time is itself a national-level shooting game IP,
Moreover, this time, he gave full play to the integration advantages of the upstream and downstream of the VR industry chain, and the price of games and hardware was very low, directly starting a price war.
In addition, he specially selected Fan Langtao, who knows Taoyuan Township and Lu Yu himself,
I have to admit that some of Fan Langtao's tricks are still ruthless enough. Whether it is a war of public opinion or a war of propaganda, he hits the nail on the head.
But what I didn't expect was!
Taoyuan Township,
This start-up game company, whose total volume is even less than 1 billion, can turn the tide and directly break through the siege of the three giants in the industry with a work with only 300 million investment and win the first place!
This is really not Longteng and Tenghui's letting down,
But the genius designers of Taoyuan Township are too fierce!
And Lu Yu, who discovered and cultivated these genius designers!
Pei Shengnan has read countless people in the business world these years, and Lu Yu is the first person he can't see through,
That terrifying ability to control product tone, that chilling ability to predict...
And that business decision-making ability that can be called a dimensionality reduction strike!
All of them are frightening.
Especially after the advent of [Final Frontline], he even felt that many people inside and outside the company had this kind of fear, and even wanted to become a Stockholm-style admiration of the strong!
And what's even more outrageous is that the combination of Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan can be called a perfect match!
Liu Mengyuan is very outrageous. The rich lady without any business experience is managing the fastest-growing game company in the industry and running the company so well!
Lu Yu is even more outrageous. He knows that his company's volume is far from enough to compete with mature big companies, but he still willfully employs various people who seem very unreliable and acquires various subsidiaries that seem destined to fail.
This man doesn't seem to care about the company's revenue at all. Relying on his almost blind trust in Liu Mengyuan and his subordinates, he frequently fights against strong enemies!
The two are crazier than each other, and one is more arrogant than the other!
And yet, they have created commercial miracles time and time again.
Thinking of this, Pei Shengnan couldn't help sighing.
These two people are simply a match made in heaven, two pieces that are the only ones that fit each other.
Each of them would be awkward to piece with anyone else.
But they only found each other who perfectly fit themselves, pieced together, and became a complete pattern, killing all sides in the game circle.
This negligible probability made Pei Shengnan sigh for the first time.
Time also fate also!
Why can't there be such a divine couple in Pei's family's descendants?
This is simply a few families happy and a few families sad!
Liu Lan, you really got a good rich and eligible bachelor...
Thinking of this, Pei Shengnan narrowed his eyes slightly.
That's right, we can't let this kid continue to show courtesy to his future mother-in-law, and we can't let Liu Lan give Taoyuan Township support in the open and in the dark.
Since Taoyuan Township is a hard bone to gnaw, let's take the Liu Group as the target first.
As the saying goes, a big ship is difficult to turn around.
Liu Group has many big company diseases similar to Longteng, which have been accumulated for a long time, and it is relatively easy for Longteng Group to deal with.
First kick Liu out of the VR field, and the remaining Taoyuan Township will be difficult to clap alone, and it will be much easier to deal with!
Thinking of this, he began to issue new instructions in the video conference.
...
August 15th, morning, Taoyuan Township Villa.
"Ah... I always stay at the company. Leisure is quite leisurely, but if you have time, you should participate in more outside playing card activities."
Lu Yu, who was paralyzed on the massage chair in the workstation, stretched comfortably.
At this time, he was warmed by the sun,
Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ Book ⊥⊥ Bar ⊥⊥ First ⊥ Hair!
On his computer desk, there were many trading card game (TCG) card boxes and a large pile of empty card packs.
And the computer screen in front of him was playing the animation series [Pokemon].
Recently, he found a new fun for himself, playing card games.
He doesn't like the card faces of Magic the Gathering, so he mainly buys Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon card boxes.
Fortunately, he was lucky today and opened a [White Hat Lillie]. This thing was hyped to tens of thousands of soft RMB in the secondary market.
Although this amount of money can be earned by Lu Yu's show off points for a day, in Lu Yu's opinion, the coolest process of playing trading card is the process of opening packs.
Although he himself also dissed the Skinner box mechanism of opening packs, but tearing open physical card packs can still recover blood, so it is not so difficult to accept.
Of course, Lillie is not the most expensive card. The first-generation Charizard card is said to be able to sell for millions of dollars.
Lu Yu watched another episode of the show, glanced at the calendar, and suddenly realized that this round of cycle is about to settlement.
I haven't asked about the company's business for many days, and I haven't read any industry news, but recently, the emotions of the company's colleagues seem to be very calm.
Since returning from the Shinkansen trip in Japan, everyone probably hasn't recovered from the trip?
Very good!
This time, the three major sects of Longteng, Tenghui, and Youyi are besieging Guangmingding, plus there are disruptors like Mileyou and Dili Dili,
It is estimated that the employees have completely lost the motivation of involution, and their hearts are all sounds are silent, returning to peace.
The reason why he is so confident is because of the many defense lines he set up in this round of the cycle:
The first is Xiaohutuxian Toy Company. This company is different from previous companies. It is really pure and pure want to slack off.
The second is Milk Candy. She seduces the group of LSP in the project team every day, distracting the employees.
Then, in this round of the cycle, the scale and frequency of team building are higher than before, and the first overseas team building was also carried out, striving to make employees forget about work and be happy!
Fourth, in game promotion, Lu Yu tried his best to lean towards the direction of ultimate slacking off. He didn't dare to re-watch those small awkward dramas himself, and he was anxious to buy a villa.
Fifth, in the technical cooperation with Youyi, he agreed to share another dimension technology. Although Youyi's ability to Sharingan is not as high as Tenghui's, it is also a big factory, and replicating the past should not be a big problem.
This is Lu Yu's carefully designed five-layer anti- involution defense line, with layers of armor protection!
You tell me, how are you going to involution? Hahahahaha...
Lu Yu smiled smugly. As a company manager, I have "helped to the point of being unhelpful". Those competitors, you shouldn't be able to beat such a Taoyuan Township, right?
The stupidest fool in the world shouldn't be so stupid. Come on, I'm optimistic about you!
Lu Yu let out a yawn, he decided to search for some card deck building strategy on the foreign network.
But as soon as he went to Twitter and entered topics related to the ACG field, he saw Sanakami Shinji's tweet hanging on the hot search trend.
Shinji Mikami is the father of [Resident Evil], so Lu Yu took another look.
Before he could take a closer look, his eyes were filled with words such as: "The Chinese game industry is amazing", "It's so amazing", "I hope to get to know the production team".
At first, he didn't take it seriously.
Oh, another genius in the domestic game circle has successfully started a business and is favored by foreign game big shots?
But, this has nothing to do with him anymore.
If it was the previous life, he would dream of being retweeted by a star producer like Shinji Mikami, but in this life, he just wants to lie down.
Lu Yu was about to close this tweet,
Suddenly!
He caught a glimpse of the three words [Taoyuan Township] in the tweet!
His hand trembled, and the mouse almost slipped from his hand.
Then, he calmed his mood, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
I must be seeing things, I must be seeing things...
Lu Yu rubbed his eyes and opened them tremblingly, only to see Shinji Mikami write at the end of his tweet—
"I hope Taoyuan Township Company can also consider the overseas market XD~"
Boom!
Lu Yu was struck by lightning and froze on the spot.
Hey, no, why are you so optimistic about Taoyuan Township? This, this, this...
Shinji Mikami's tweet was retweeted by many game influencers.
Following the links in the comment section, Lu Yu saw more popular videos on YouTube about "Project Endline".
The video titles were filled with exaggerated words like "Shocking," "Latest Masterpiece from China," and "Most Unmissable This Year." Foreign players praised it to the heavens.
The screen was filled with words of praise, which made him enter a brief state of愣神.
His mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say anything.
He kept turning the pages, his fingers trembling.
Finally, Lu Yu decided to decisively close Twitter.
I must be hallucinating from opening too many card packs recently, that's right, it must be!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the browser's main interface, he was once again smacked in the face by a news item on the main interface:
"China Business Weekly Interviews Xiaohutuxian Company: CEO Lu is a Genius of Cross-Border Management"
Boom!
Lu Yu was struck by lightning again, and his whole person gradually lost color.
His eyes turned mechanically twice,
His heart was like a stormy sea—
Wait!
What the hell, wait for me!
Which dimension am I in this news report again?
What the hell did I do?
Mr. Hu Tu of Xiaohutuxian Company, we haven't even met a few times, why are you saying this about me!
Lu Yu was completely dumbfounded.
What do you mean "recognized the uniqueness of our products at a glance, that's how much trust it takes!"
I trust your ass, what I trust is your slacking behavior!
Also, that reporter, what do you mean "if it were any stable entrepreneur, they wouldn't take this risk"?
What the hell do you know, I can't wait to take risks, I really don't want to be stable, I can't wait to fail!
Lu Yu covered his chest and continued to look down.
"CEO Lu never fights unprepared battles, and now, the facts prove that CEO Lu's strategy is very successful!"
I prepared what the hell!
Afterward, the news published images of Xiaohutuxian's employees working enthusiastically on the assembly line.
Lu Yu was horrified. Hey, no, isn't your factory hanging by a thread with inventory backlog? Why are you working so hard!
Stop it, my precious leisure points!
At this time, Lu Yu thought of Shinji Mikami's tweet again, and a bad feeling arose in his heart—
Could it be...?
He tremblingly clicked on the Taoyuan Township's operations backend, then fell back on the chair and began to shiver.
