Chapter 696: The game is about to collapse?
When Lin Yuzhen saw Lu Yiming's surprised expression, she immediately remembered that he didn't take advantage of others last night. She felt very unhappy and said unhappily, "What? Do you think you've suffered a loss?"
Lu Yiming's eyes scanned Lin Yuzhen's body unscrupulously, licked his lips and said, "That's not the case."
Lin Yuzhen subconsciously crossed her arms across her chest, trying to cover up her curvy figure, and looked at Lu Yiming warily: "What do you want to do?"
"cut."
Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "You know how to cover up now? When you were lying on my chest and drooling last night, if I really wanted to do something, I would have done it long ago, right?"
Originally, when Lin Yuzhen saw Lu Yiming's eyes wandering around her, she felt shy, but she also thought in revenge that Lu Yiming seemed to be a hypocrite, and his fox tail was exposed. However, after hearing what Lu Yiming said, she felt very shocked again, and glared at Lu Yiming fiercely, saying, "I told you not to say it, and you still said it!"
Seeing Lin Yuzhen's angry and aggressive look, Lu Yiming immediately found it funny. When he saw Lin Yuzhen coming over to hit him, he quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore."
Then, he said sternly, "You can sleep there if you want. I rarely go back to the villa in Bi Hai Long Ting now. You can move in first, and I'll ask Zhao Tiezhu to arrange a few people to guard it, so that the people of the Yang family won't give up and still have ideas about you. By the way, aren't you going to school?"
Lin Yuzhen curled her lips and said, "We study art differently from you. If there is a crew, we can learn in the crew, and the work itself counts as credits."
Lu Yiming was a little suspicious and asked, "Really?"
Lin Yuzhen said proudly: "Of course it's true!"
Lu Yiming didn't care about that. Anyway, Lin Yuzhen would sign a contract with Minghua Company after graduation. He said, "You don't want to go home now? Then call Jiang Yuxiang. She cried so hard after you were arrested."
When Lin Yuzhen heard Lu Yiming talking about Jiang Yuxiang, she remembered this matter and quickly took out her cell phone to call Jiang Yuxiang.
"Jiang Yuxiang."
Hearing Lin Yuzhen's voice, Jiang Yuxiang finally felt relieved. She patted her chest and said, "Are you okay? That's great. You scared me to death. Zhenzhen, it's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to come out to play, this wouldn't have happened."
Hearing Jiang Yuxiang's crying voice, Lin Yuzhen said with a smile: "What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Do you think they won't find other opportunities to arrest me? I'm glad I went out with you, and you can help me make a phone call. If I was caught when I went out alone, I might not even know how I died."
Jiang Yuxiang thought for a moment and said, "It seems so. Where are you now?"
Lin Yuzhen wanted to say that she was at home, but she changed her words and said, "I just went out and planned to look for you. Where are you now? Do you want to have lunch together later?"
Jiang Yuxiang smiled and said, "Okay, I want to see if you have lost any arms or legs after being captured."
"Go away, you are the one missing arms and legs."
After finishing the call with Jiang Yuxiang, Lin Yuzhen thought about the crew and quickly called Chen Xiaoqing.
"Director Chen."
Chen Xiaoqing originally said that he had a filming task last night, but Lin Yuzhen didn't come back at the appointed time. He called Lin Yuzhen but found that her phone was turned off, so the filming had to be suspended.
Hearing Lin Yuzhen's voice, he was also a little unhappy and asked, "Why did you call me now? What did you do last night?"
Lin Yuzhen said: "I was kidnapped."
“…”
Chen Xiaoqing was shocked. He thought of several possibilities, but he never expected that Lin Yuzhen was kidnapped.
He quickly asked, "How are you now? Do you want me to call the police?"
Lin Yuzhen smiled and said, "Lu Yiming brought people to rescue me last night, otherwise how could I call you?"
Chen Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "That's right. I'm glad you're okay. You should have a good rest for a few days. We'll shoot the show later."
When Chen Xiaoqing heard that it was Lu Yiming who saved Lin Yuzhen, she didn't know what to say.
Mr. Lu is awesome!
Lin Yuzhen said: "No need for director, I'm not injured or anything, now all the problems are solved. I will report back to the crew this afternoon. Last night, the filming was delayed because of my problem. I apologize to the production team and I will treat everyone to afternoon tea."
After finishing the call with Chen Xiaoqing, Lu Yiming asked Zhao Tiezhu to drive and take Lin Yuzhen to find Jiang Yuxiang.
When the two met, although they already knew that Lin Yuzhen was safe and sound, Jiang Yuxiang was still in tears and looked very self-blaming. She hugged Lin Yuzhen and cried non-stop. Lin Yuzhen had to comfort her.
"I'm fine, why are you crying so hard?"
Jiang Yuxiang pursed her lips and said, "You scared me to death."
"Okay, okay, Lu Yiming brought people to rescue me last night."
Lin Yuzhen said: "Let's go and have dinner."
Jiang Yuxiang wiped her eyes and asked, "You came back last night, why are you calling me now? What did you do last night?"
When Lin Yuzhen thought about the time she and Lu Yiming had sex last night, she felt embarrassed and angry, and she stammered, not knowing how to explain it.
After all, not only did she have sex with Lu Yiming, but she was the one who took the initiative!
The most important thing is that, for some reason, the sheet wasn’t rolled up in the end!
If she told this to Jiang Yuxiang, she would laugh at her for the rest of her life.
However, Jiang Yuxiang saw Lin Yuzhen blushing and speechless. After a moment of suspicion, she suddenly realized what was going on and pointed at the two of them and said, "Ah, you guys last night..."
Lin Yuzhen was captured, and Lu Yiming led people to rescue her. Isn’t this a typical romance novel scene where the hero saves the beauty?
In addition, Jiang Yuxiang also knew that Lin Yuzhen had a good impression of Lu Yiming.
Isn't this a natural and inevitable thing?
Lin Yuzhen's mind reappeared the embarrassing scenes of last night, and she immediately ran over in a panic to cover Jiang Yuxiang's mouth.
"We didn't do anything last night, don't talk nonsense."
She glared at Lu Yiming, who saw it, shrugged, and said, "You told me not to say anything before, but I didn't say a word."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but after he said this, Jiang Yuxiang felt that there was something fishy going on.
She broke free from Lin Yuzhen's hand, her face full of surprise, her eyes burning with gossip: "Oh my God, you guys actually..."
Lin Yuzhen quickly said: "No, no, nothing!"
Afterwards, he rolled his eyes at Lu Yiming fiercely, obviously blaming Lu Yiming for making the situation worse.
When Lu Yiming saw this scene, he couldn't help but recall the beautiful scene of last night in his mind.
I didn't expect that Lin Yuzhen, who looks quite thin, still has a nice figure...
"Hey, let's go and eat!"
Lin Yuzhen had no words to say about what happened last night, so she simply gave up explaining and changed the subject, and was about to take Jiang Yuxiang out for lunch.
Lu Yiming smiled, put aside some messy thoughts, and said: "How about we go to a seafood buffet? Only the hairy crabs in Zhonghai are tasty. The others are rubbish. The seafood in Guangdong Province is still delicious."
This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, so Lu Yiming found a top-notch seafood buffet restaurant and the three of them had a delicious meal.
In the afternoon, Lu Yiming was afraid that Lin Yuzhen would have nothing to wear after moving into Bi Hai Long Ting, so he took Lin Yuzhen to buy a few sets of clothes.
After buying clothes, Lin Yuzhen said she wanted to treat the crew to tea, and left with Jiang Yuxiang. Lu Yiming returned home and stayed for two more days before returning to Zhonghai.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Lu Yiming's life was simple and fulfilling . Apart from daily company management, he studied hard and made progress every day.
One day at the end of April, he suddenly received a call from Jiang Rongfa.
"Boss Lu, something happened."
His voice was hoarse and haggard. Lu Yiming could almost imagine Jiang Rongfa with dishevelled hair and dark circles covering half of his face.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Rongfa said: "Someone from the game department of Gentleman Interactive Entertainment secretly modified the data of "Legend of Mir 2" and secretly sold a lot of extremely valuable and low-dropping equipment, involving a total amount of up to 300,000 yuan. After this matter was exposed on the official forum of the game, it has caused a sensation."
After listening to Jiang Rongfa's story, Lu Yiming frowned. Junzi Interactive Entertainment is a very good cash cow, and it carries the heavy responsibility of Lu Yiming to build the Internet game ecosystem. Lu Yiming certainly doesn't want it to get into trouble.
"This is a betrayal. I'm going to the company now. Call all the department heads of the company and have a meeting with them while I'm there."
"good."
Two hours later, Lu Yiming appeared at Junzi Interactive Entertainment Network Technology Co., Ltd. Today, Junzi Interactive Entertainment Network Technology Co., Ltd. has more than 200 R&D personnel and more than 1,000 people in total, making it a fairly large gaming company. There were a total of 15 department heads, all waiting for Lu Yiming's arrival in the conference room.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Lu."
Today, Lu Yiming is already the richest man in Asia. He also owns 95% of the shares of Junzi Interactive Network Technology Co., Ltd., which can almost be said to be his sole proprietorship. The founder Jiang Rongfa only holds 5% of the shares, and can be said to be a working emperor.
However, even though "Diablo 2" has been released and "Stone Age", which also uses a point card billing model, has also come out, the market competition has become fierce. The annual turnover of "Legend of Mir 2" still exceeds 2 billion yuan, far exceeding similar games. The net profit it contributes to the company each year is more than 1 billion yuan. Jiang Rongfa is willing to be the working emperor.
Lu Yiming nodded slightly to everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, long time no see, and I see there are many new faces. Everyone, please introduce yourselves and let me get to know you."
Jiang Rong laughed and said, "Yes, I think so too, An Fangbin, let's start with you."
"good."
A Mediterranean man stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu, my name is An Fangbin, and I am currently in charge of data security in the company."
Then the second person stood up and introduced himself.
After they all finished introducing themselves, Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I think everyone knows me, so there's no need to introduce myself, right?"
Although this statement may sound a bit pretentious, it is also true. Anyone who pays a little attention to current affairs and finance knows the name of Lu Yiming.
"Okay, now that we've done all the politeness, let's talk about the problems the company encountered this time. The data was tampered with, the best gaming equipment is everywhere, and the balance of the game has been broken. Once the balance of the game is broken, it means the death of this game. Do you have any ideas?"
An Fangbin stood up again and said with a guilty look on his face: "Mr. Lu, the main responsibility for this matter is mine. After all, I am responsible for data security, and I did not discover the problem in time."
In response to An Fangbin's initiative to admit his mistake, Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "You are in charge of the data security department. You do have to bear a lot of responsibility for something like this."
Hearing what Lu Yiming said, An Fangbin's heart tightened. He remembered that the newspaper had said that Lu Yiming was known for being penny-pinching and ruthless. He felt that he might be fired by Lu Yiming.
To be honest, he certainly didn't want to be fired. After all, the treatment at Junzi Interactive Entertainment was really good, and he was only operating this one game at the moment, so the work was quite easy. If he was fired, it would be difficult to find such a good job again.
It wasn't just An Fangbin who thought this way, almost everyone present thought this way. There were a few people who had a good relationship with An Fangbin, and they all felt sorry for him.
However, what Lu Yiming said next was beyond everyone's expectations.
" Since you have made a mistake, you must be punished. Starting today, your rank will be downgraded by four levels, and your salary will be reduced accordingly for a year. Your position will remain unchanged. I will give you a chance to make amends for your crime. Do you have any objection to my decision?"
An Fangbin thought Lu Yiming was going to fire him outright, but he only saw a reduction in his salary, and it was only for a year. He was overjoyed and said quickly, "No objection, thank you, Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu is so magnanimous. I promise to be careful and attentive in my future work and never make similar mistakes again."
Although his salary was almost cut in half, he has made a lot of money in recent years, so this punishment will not cause any trouble to his life.
After hearing Lu Yiming's decision to punish An Fangbin, the company executives present secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, their favorable impression of Lu Yiming increased a lot. They found that Lu Yiming did not seem to be as unkind as some media reports said.
Jiang Rongfa also stood up and said sincerely: "Mr. Lu, there are problems with the company's management. I, as the CEO, am also responsible and am willing to accept the punishment."
Regarding Jiang Rongfa's initiative to take the blame, Lu Yiming was not polite and said, "Well, you should be punished, and you should also stop receiving dividends for a year."
Lu Yi knew that punishments such as dismissal or transfer were far less impressive than not paying the person, so his punishments were mainly focused on the financial aspect.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Although the suspension of dividends for one year does mean a lot of money, Jiang Rongfa admires Lu Yiming from the bottom of his heart and has no objection to Lu Yiming's decision.
In fact, this incident sounded a wake-up call for everyone.
Junzi Interactive Entertainment has been developing too fast, and the number of employees has also been expanding rapidly. Jiang Rongfa, the CEO appointed by Lu Yiming himself, has begun to lose control of the situation.
He is a technical talent but not a management talent. He is good at leading the development team of the game department of Junzi Interactive Entertainment, but he is unable to manage all the employees of the entire company.
To put it simply, Junzi Interactive Entertainment currently has no shortage of science students who are engaged in technology, but lacks liberal arts students who are engaged in management.
There is no way around it. If Jiang Rongfa had been able to manage a company well, he would not have sold Junzi Interactive Entertainment to Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming has seen many emerging companies with great development momentum fall apart due to internal problems and fail in the turbulent tide of the times, so he knows the importance of management.
Lu Yiming's eyes swept over everyone, and he tapped the long desk with his left index and middle fingers, saying, "Junzi Interactive Entertainment has passed the start-up phase and entered a period of rapid development. If we don't lay a solid foundation and move too fast, it will easily fall apart. I think it's time to establish new rules and regulations. Especially the problem of internal employees betraying their own company like today cannot happen again. Based on this, I have decided to carry out a thorough internal reform of Junzi Interactive Entertainment. Do you have any opinions?"
Jiang Rongfa immediately stated: "I have no objection."
"I have no objection either."
The executives present all expressed their opinions.
Lu Yiming said: "Since everyone has no objection, then this matter is settled. I decided to split the company's original departments and reorganize them into three major business groups, making the game development, promotion and operation independent, and establishing a job grade system for the company's employees."
The management of domestic enterprises nowadays is still quite primitive, especially the division of powers and positions within the company, which is extremely chaotic.
Most employees, unless they hold a position like manager, only know that they are employees and how much they are paid, and they don’t know anything else.
Without goals and pursuits, such employees are prone to confusion. They either just get by at work and do nothing, or simply harm the company for their own benefit and steal the company's profits.
However, if the company assigns employees a professional level, just like leveling up by killing monsters in an online game, and employees know that their hard work will be rewarded accordingly, and that the rewards are clearly marked, then this type of situation will naturally be greatly reduced.
Lu Yiming imitated the job grade system of later generations and made a table for Jiang Rongfa and the others to see.
The employee rating of Junzi Interactive Entertainment ranges from level 1 at the lowest to level 6 at the highest, and Lu Yiming is the only one at level 7. Each level is then divided into three grades.
At the same time, it is also divided into four major channels according to different positions, also called "tribes" internally: project channel P tribe; technical channel T tribe; market channel M tribe and functional channel S tribe.
After the division, Jiang Rongfa and An Fangbin both received a T5 rating. They were originally T6, but were both blamed for this incident and were temporarily downgraded.
Xu Bo, who was transferred from the pig factory, is now T4. Because he joined relatively late and his contributions are not enough at present.
Lu Yiming used a projector to project the handwritten table onto the big screen, explained the reasons for this division and the basis for evaluating the grades of the company's executives, and then said: "After the job level division, Jiang Rongfa will be in charge of the development of new games, and he has several projects to be responsible for. He is no longer suitable to be the CEO. Junzi Interactive Entertainment now needs a new helmsman."
