Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 177 Prepare for a rainy day and take nip in the bud
10 days, over [-] million!

This is the revenue of Three Kingdoms Online, which reached a terrifying 1 million.

This does not include the rebates for internal beta recharges. This is the number of new additions alone. If calculated according to this trend.

The revenue in the first month can reach a huge 3 million, directly catching up with the combined revenue of all other games. If the revenue during the internal beta period is included, the revenue in the first month is close to 5 million.

This made Chen Hao feel for the first time that the game was so profitable that it was exaggerated and terrifying!
It’s not so obvious in other games, after all, the input-output ratio is pretty normal.

But the Tianshu team only has about fifty people. After half a year of research and development, although the core is still the classic business model and the entire investment cost is similar to other games, it is this way of packaging old wine in new bottles that the revenue has increased explosively. It made Chen Hao feel a little unreal.

According to this trend, Century Interactive Entertainment’s monthly revenue is around [-] to [-] million yuan. If you calculate this, you can earn around [-] yuan per minute.

Well, his time is very valuable.

Originally, Chen Hao's next plan was to focus on two things. An overseas student would return and help mobilize Lao Xu's platform.

The second is to go to Guangzhou to find Brother Xiaolong, connect PP with Century Interactive Entertainment’s games, and combine it with YY from the previous life to create a weapon for Century Interactive Entertainment to overcome all obstacles.

However, with the popularity of Three Kingdoms Online and the further expansion of income, Chen Hao was surprised and a little panicked.

At present, Century Interactive Entertainment is the dominant player in the online game market, and it seems to have unlimited success. Who knows what other competitors are secretly planning.

He knew very well that if a tree is as beautiful as a tree, the wind will destroy it. Before, Shanda was the only one in the world. Taking advantage of the opportunity of his own rise, he was overthrown by others.

But this time it was his turn. Why not follow Shanda's mistakes became the test he was about to face. He had to prepare for a rainy day in advance.

For this reason, he changed his plan temporarily. After thinking about it for half a morning, he smoothed out the thread in his mind and sent out the notice before leaving get off work in the morning!

As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Chen Hao held an emergency emergency meeting with Century Zongheng executives.

Group Finance Director Cao Wang, Supervisor Lin Xiaoran, Group Legal Department Qian Jun, Century Interactive Entertainment CEO Zhou Xiao, Vice President Xu Pengkun, CTO Lu Tao, Marketing Department Li Fang, Human Resources Han Qian, Tianshu Studio Chu Xuan, Tianxuan Work Senior executives including Xu Changlong from the office, Pang Ban, who also serves as the Disciplinary Supervision Department of Century Interactive Entertainment, and Wu Hanqing, general manager of Century Network Shield, were all present.

Century Giants Lin Lang and Guangyan Zhang Xiaolong were unable to attend the meeting because they were out of town, so they participated in the meeting remotely through landline phones, hands-free.

Chen Hao promulgated several measures when he came up.

The first item, in order to avoid the risk of leakage of the company's core confidential data, including but not limited to game data, user information, game engines, especially financial-related data is the top priority, ordered Qian Jun to draft an employee confidentiality agreement and non-compliance agreement prohibition agreement,

Although it is the legal obligation of employees to keep business secrets, and the current relevant laws and regulations such as the Labor Law and the Labor Contract Law do not stipulate that employers must pay confidentiality fees for workers to fulfill their confidentiality obligations, Chen Hao still asked the company to Employees who have access to core data will be provided with an additional confidentiality fee. Of course, the price is that they will face huge liability for breach of contract after the leak. In this way, the leakage of the company's core data will be reduced.

In addition, Lu Tao, Chu Xuan and Xu Changlong were asked to keep sensitive data in their respective databases private and isolated, with authority only in the hands of a limited number of DBAs (database administrators).At the same time, Cao Wang and Xiaoran were told that corporate taxes must be carried out in accordance with formal channels and legal procedures, and paid in full, and all reasonable means and methods of tax avoidance are prohibited.

Chen Hao announced that the company's middle-level and above-level managers and core employees must sign a non-compete agreement. The period is one year after leaving the company and they are prohibited from entering Century Interactive Entertainment's competing companies: NetEase, Sina, Sohu, Shanda, and Tencent. Only by signing these two agreements The company that agrees with the agreement can carry out key training and open up promotion channels.

A non-compete agreement, also known as a non-compete agreement, usually stipulates that the employee will not be employed by a company that competes with the company within a certain period of time after the employee leaves the company. The company will also pay a certain amount of compensation on a monthly basis. In case of breach of contract Employees who resign must return their compensation, bear corresponding responsibilities and compensate for liquidated damages.

The second item, based on the content of the first item, will be included in the daily inspection work of the Discipline Supervision Department to inspect it.

In the third item, Qian Jun wrote the company's confidential security awareness protection rules, Wu Hanqing improved the current Internet enterprise security guide through the security team, and Lu Tao provided a programming security manual from a technical perspective.After the review and confirmation, the company will announce and conduct comprehensive examinations at these three levels at the end of the month. Employees who fail will have one chance to make up the exam. If they fail the second time, the labor relationship will be terminated. It does not matter if the termination is illegal. They should pay compensation.

As soon as the three measures were announced, those named took their orders.

After Chen Hao announced the measures, his expression was very serious, but he said sincerely, "The above measures actually illustrate one thing. The company is getting bigger and bigger. In order to cause unnecessary trouble, this is also to protect all employees of the company.

For example, due to lack of security awareness, company secrets or data may be accidentally leaked when chatting with relatives and friends, or programmers may accidentally create loopholes when writing code due to lack of code security awareness, resulting in losses to the company. This is also to avoid these situations. occur.

Corporate guard is a means to protect the bottom line. We should not feel dependent, but should avoid it in advance. Therefore, I need to add a layer of insurance, strengthen security awareness training for the whole company, and reduce the probability of problems by increasing the cost of breach of contract. .I hope everyone here understands the importance of this matter and strictly conveys this spirit!Does anyone else have any questions? "

"Yes!" A sudden voice sounded, and Xu Changlong raised his hand.

"I have a question, what should I do if a key employee refuses to sign?"

"If you are sent to the front line to be an ordinary screw and do hard work, either you can't stand it and get out, or I don't like it and let him get out. It's as simple as that."

Chen Hao glanced around and added, "You can understand these two agreements as certificates of surrender. If you don't sign, it means there is a problem with your loyalty. If you have the core information and still don't sign, you want to be an undercover or want to leave soon."

In terms of employee remuneration, Century Zongheng has always been higher than the market price. If there are still people who play the trick of being in Cao's camp and being in Han's heart, then I'm sorry, no matter how powerful they are and how important their position is, they are worthless in my eyes!
Finally, I would like to emphasize that there must be a master and backup in every job position, just like the concept of server disaster recovery. There should not be a person who is irreplaceable. In that case, you will have management problems. Do you all understand? "

"Understood" everyone present said in unison.

"Any questions?"

Everyone was silent. Chen Hao looked around and confirmed that there was no problem.

"The others are dismissed. Chu Xuan, call all Tianshu's game planners over!"
