Chapter 559: So Happy, I Feel Like My Life Has Reached Its Peak
It seems that the success of Wang Xingwen's Lilith Games has brought great grievances to Pony Ma, and at the same time he has also deeply realized that the group's mechanism has reached a point where it must be changed.
A 27-year-old young man, who was slacking off in the group, jumped out and became worth hundreds of millions in just over a year. This is tantamount to a slap in the face of Penguin Technology.
If he hadn't been so angry, Xiao Ma Ge wouldn't have made such excessive demands on Liang Fei.
Seeing Liang Fei's quick agreement, Xiao Ma finally smiled, took a puff of cigarette and said, "If any other senior executive had come to me to make a promise, I might have believed it before 2005, because the group really created a lot of miracles at that time. But now, I can only believe you, a ten-year-old boy."
Thinking about the fact that Wang Xingwen, who brought him psychological trauma, was only 27 years old this year, Xiao Ma smiled bitterly.
"Without further delay, I will start making arrangements now and come up with a decentralization plan first."
Liang Fei was a person with a strong sense of action. He would do whatever he thought of immediately. He didn't even drink his tea, said goodbye to Xiao Ma Ge, and immediately returned to his office.
After getting up and seeing Liang Fei off, Xiao Ma Ge sat back down on the sofa, tapping his knuckles lightly on the leather armrest. Recalling what Liang Fei had just said, he called his secretary in.
"Boss Ma, do you need to eat?" The secretary came in from outside and said respectfully, "You haven't eaten anything this morning."
"I won't starve to death."
Brother Ma looked up at the secretary and instructed, "The General Manager's Office must come up with a practical plan as quickly as possible, adopt more of Mr. Liang's opinions, and delegate as much power as possible after detailed investigation and research of the departments and studios under each major business group. This is the basic point. The rest will be handled by the General Manager's Office and Mr. Liang. A letter has been sent in my name to notify the entire group."
"clear."
"Oh yeah, there's one more."
As the secretary closed his notebook, Xiao Ma raised his hand and added, "Notify Blizzard and Valve and tell them that someone is profiting from their products without authorization. Go ahead."
"Oh, yes, yes."
The secretary immediately understood Xiao Ma's intention and thought to himself, when Liang Fei mentioned this matter just now, you didn't react, so why did you start making arrangements as soon as Mr. Liang left?
As expected, now Mr. Ma listens to Mr. Liang more and more. Thinking of this, the secretary bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the office.
The chairman's office has a complete administrative team. Secretary Chen just returned to his territory and immediately conveyed Xiao Ma Ge's order to the general manager's office.
"In short, although it is said that the General Manager's Office is in charge, it is actually just a figurehead. All specific matters are handled by General Manager Liang."
An employee in the chairman's office immediately distilled the core idea, looked at Secretary Chen and asked, "Doesn't that mean that during the entire stage of the decentralization plan, the General Manager's Office must obey General Manager Liang's arrangements?"
"That's about it."
Secretary Chen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Everyone, the direction of the group has completely changed now. Before Lilith Games emerged, the board of directors and President Ma kept talking about change, but the biggest change was actually bringing President Liang to the group. President Liang did some things, but the group mechanism remained unchanged. But now is different from the past. Lilith Games has dealt a heavy blow, and no one dares to question President Ma's reforms anymore. President Liang will not encounter any obstacles this time."
"If anyone gets in the way again, I think the board of directors and CEO Ma will no longer be polite and will directly use that person as a sacrifice."
Everyone understood and no one doubted it.
These administrative people are closest to the group's top executives and directly serve the highest levels of the group. They may not know anything about business, but when it comes to being well-informed, no one is better than them.
When WeChat was launched, it immediately consolidated Penguin Technology's dominant position in the social field. Under the leadership of Zhang Xiaohu, the Yangcheng branch is vigorously developing its mobile payment business. This group restructuring may not involve the WeChat business group.
But for the remaining business groups that have never produced outstanding results, those responsible vice presidents may have Liang Fei riding on their necks and showing off his power for some time to come.
Two sides of the story
Liang Fei did not choose to sit in the office. She said to Tang Ruijie, "If you want to find out the problem, you must conduct a field investigation. So first you have to go to the grassroots to conduct research."
Tang Ruijie understood and nodded, "Which city do you want to visit, Mr. Liang?"
“…”
"Xiao Tang, don't speculate on the leader's thoughts. I really want to do something practical now." Liang Fei rarely complained about Tang Ruijie, but knocked on the table excitedly and said, "I got the imperial sword, which means that from today on, except for Xiao Ma and Mr. Liu, oh, Mr. Liu doesn't count, I am truly second to none in the entire Penguin Technology."
Ding~
Your Penguin Technology Executive Vice Emperor Experience Card has arrived, please check it.
It's a multinational group with tens of thousands of people. When he gives an order, everyone has to follow. How cool and unrestrained it is. There will be no regrets for a man living like this.
Now Liang Fei has free access in the group and someone has to receive him wherever he goes.
Tang Ruijie scratched her hair and asked, "So, Mr. Liang, where do you want to go? I'll let them know in advance so they have time to react."
"Don't try to be superficial. Nothing good will come of superficial work. Research is all about experiencing the real sentiments of the people."
Liang Fei raised a finger: "Four no and two straight, that's my principle."
"ha??"
The so-called "four no's and two direct" means no greetings, no notifications, no reports, no accompanying reception, and going straight to the scene and the grassroots.
"So, Mr. Liang, where are we going?"
"Go to Sichuan and Chongqing!"
Tang Ruijie's eyes lit up: "Eating hot pot, right? I love it!"
Liang Fei rolled her eyes at Tang Ruijie and said, "That's outrageous. Eating hotpot is just a side job. The purpose of this trip is to see how the studios under the Interactive Entertainment Group are doing. There's no time to lose, let's book a flight and leave right away."
That afternoon, Liang Fei took Tang Ruijie, Li Chengliang and other core members of the "Honor of Kings" project team to Sichuan and Chongqing.
"Hey, Mr. Ren, where are you going?"
In the underground parking garage, Liang Fei happened to run into Ren Xingyu again and greeted him enthusiastically, "Are you going to a meeting?"
When Liang Fei first came to Binghai Building as the senior executive vice president, Ren Xingyu was the most wary of Liang Fei among all the executive directors and vice presidents. Before, Song Mici's father had instructed people in the group to make things difficult for Li Xingruo, and Ren Xingyu had acquiesced.
Ren Xingyu held the car door with one hand, looked at Liang Fei, and nodded: "Yes, I'm going to attend a symposium. It's quite important. Many leaders will be there."
This is to tell Liang Fei that you are not the only one working in the entire group, and my salary and dividends are not taken in vain.
Seeing Liang Fei with his hands in his pockets and the men and women behind him carrying bags and dragging suitcases, Ren Xingyu asked, "Is Mr. Liang going on a business trip?"
"Yes, let's go to Sichuan and Chongqing."
"Sichuan and Chongqing are good. Sichuan and Chongqing are good places. The girls there are tender and beautiful. Mr. Liang will definitely like them." Ren Xingyu said in a gloomy tone, and then continued to remind, "Mr. Liang, remember to stop by the Penguin Building on the way."
"That's where we're going." Liang Fei said with a smile, "Mainly to inspect the studios in Tianmei and Wolong."
These studios are concentrated under the IEG Interactive Entertainment Business Group, which is under the jurisdiction of Ren Xingyu. When he heard Liang Fei say this, he immediately forced a smile, got into the car and drove away.
"Look at this, that's all the courage I have."
Liang Fei held his head in his hands, shrugged his shoulders, turned around and asked: "Why hasn't the car come yet? I'm so tired. The group has no future. What's going on? Tell the administration department to teach the driver class a lesson. How can they be so lazy!"
Tang Ruijie gently tugged at Liang Fei's sleeve: "Boss Liang, isn't this too high-profile?"
“It has to be high profile.”
"Why?"
"I want to show them what it means to be a villain who succeeds!"
“…”
The plane flew across the sky and landed steadily at Shuangliu Airport. Liang Fei paid for it out of his own pocket and took everyone straight to the Penguin Building in Wuhou District.
However, it was obvious that Liang Fei's straightforwardness had gone wrong. As soon as he left the Binghai Building, the secretary of the general manager's office called the Sichuan and Chongqing branches to inform them that Mr. Liang from the group headquarters would be visiting soon and asked them to attach great importance to this inspection. Mr. Liang came with the will of the group and Mr. Ma.
In other words, Liang Fei represents Mr. Ma this time.
As if I were here in person!
So when Liang Fei and his group arrived, although there were no loud gongs, drums or firecrackers, all the leaders of the Penguin Building, even if they were not at home or were out of town, rushed back.
The group headquarters is going to have a big move soon. This news has been passed to all branches a long time ago. Liang Fei’s arrival means that the movement is about to come.
The studios of Penguin Technology initially set the tone of being self-developed studios, and have produced many results. For example, Tianmei Studio is best known for its Penguin Racer, which Liang Fei also played when he was in school, and he even saved money to buy a Class A car.
However, after that, he started to play a supporting role. He has produced some works from time to time, but none of them have made any waves, and at least it is still a long way from the national stage.
"Give me an office. I want to meet the heads of all game studios, starting with the head of Tianmei."
Liang Fei declined the invitation to dinner from Penguin Building executives and went straight to work.
However, Liang Fei obviously underestimated the strong financial resources of Penguin Technology, and also underestimated the treatment that a senior executive from the headquarters could enjoy after arriving at the local branch.
I drank a cup of tea in the conference room. Before the head of Tianmei Studio came, the first thing that arrived was the working lunch.
A CEO named Zheng said earnestly, "Boss Liang, you came all the way here to guide our work, but you didn't even have a hot meal. If this gets back to the headquarters, Boss Ma will scold me to death. Please eat a few bites first."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and a group of staff members came with bags in their hands and placed the dishes that had just been packed from a very famous Sichuan restaurant on the table one by one, and soon the entire conference table was filled.
Mr. Zheng introduced with a smile: "Mr. Liang, the dishes in this restaurant are very authentic, they are authentic Sichuan cuisine, different from ordinary restaurants. I heard that you like spicy food, so I specially asked the restaurant to use the most authentic taste."
Liang Fei blinked and said helplessly: "Boss Zheng, let's talk business, this is a bit too much."
"Not too much, not too much. This is the reception standard that executives of your level should enjoy." President Zheng opened a box of lunch for Liang Fei and offered it with both hands. "President Liang, we can talk while we eat."
As he spoke, a person walked in from outside. It was the current head of Tianmei Studio, Yao Xiaoguang.
Yao Xiaoguang is in charge of the specific affairs of the three major studios, Tianmei Yiyou, Wolong, and Linlang Tianshang, but because he does not have enough power, the three studios usually manage their own affairs. Yao Xiaoguang is just a figurehead, and now he does not have much presence at the group level, but in a few years, he will be promoted to vice president of the group, president of Tianmei Studio Group under the Interactive Entertainment Business Group, and concurrently serve as head of the social platform, in charge of QQ.
Obviously, a large part of his success is due to "King of Glory".
But unfortunately, this boy's luck has been taken away by Liang Fei.
Liang Fei was eating happily with a box of rice in her hand. The food in this restaurant was indeed very good. Tang Ruijie was not polite either. Instead, Li Chengliang and others seemed much more polite. They sat quietly aside and said this. When Yao Xiaoguang came in, they stood up and greeted him.
"Mr. Liang, nice to meet you. I have heard a lot about you."
Yao Xiaoguang sat down opposite Liang Fei nervously, looking at the table full of delicious food. Having just rushed back from outside, he immediately felt hungry.
Seeing this, Liang Fei took out a box of food and handed it to him: "Let's eat together."
"Thank you, Mr. Liang." Yao Xiaoguang hurriedly stood up and took the lunch box with both hands. He only dared to put his butt on one-third of the stool. He was still quite panicked inside.
As everyone knows, Liang Fei and Ren Xingyu have a bad relationship, and the only project he is developing is a mobile game, which falls under the jurisdiction of Ren Xingyu. Liang Fei went straight to Sichuan and Chongqing without saying hello, and his destination was still several studios under his control.
Oh my god, is he going to fire me?
God swears to me, Liang Fei and Ren Xingyu had been fighting openly and secretly for several times, and Yao Xiaoguang was not even aware of it.
"Mr. Yao..." Liang Fei said.
Yao Xiaoguang hurriedly put down his lunch box, wiped his mouth, and looked at Liang Fei eagerly, wondering how much severance pay the group gave to management at his level?
Liang Fei took advantage of the situation and explained her purpose directly: "You must have heard that someone left the group a while ago. He was from your interactive entertainment business group. Not long after he left, he opened a company. The game developed by the small team of more than a dozen people directly ranked first on the list. President Ma was very annoyed."
Yao Xiaoguang nodded: "I heard about it, I heard about it."
Liang Fei: "He also scolded President Ren severely. Have you heard about this?"
"Uh... not really."
"Now you know." Liang Fei said enthusiastically, "Don't just sit there, Mr. Yao, eat the food. Sichuan food will lose its taste if it gets cold."
Yao Xiaoguang had no time to eat. He was just waiting for Liang Fei to hand out a notice of dismissal. He had already started thinking about where to go next.
"I've decided." Liang Fei said.
Yao Xiaoguang immediately put down the lunch box in his hand.
Liang Fei smiled and said, "I have decided to integrate the three independent studios to form the Tianmei Studio Group, Li Chengliang."
Li Chengliang stood up immediately.
Liang Fei continued to look at Yao Xiaoguang and said, "Li Chengliang will be the president, and you will be the vice president. Complete the mobile game project I have on hand as soon as possible. Before the end of the year, it must be ranked first on the list. This is a death order from President Ma."
Yao Xiaoguang looked at Liang Fei blankly. Not only did he not fire me, but I was also promoted?
Directly from the head of a studio to the vice president of a project group? ?
Hey, how much is the annual salary of a senior executive at this level of the group, and how is the bonus calculated? ?
