Chapter 1258 Conditions of Longyu Group
Monday, October 15.
After confirming that "Ghost General 2" has basically no major problems and can be developed as scheduled, Pei Qian feels much more at ease.
Bao Xu will stare for a few more days, and he will soon leave for Shennongjia, so there should be no need to worry about the suffering trip for the time being.
You can focus your energy on solving the key issues at this stage.
That is, dig people!
Eric had already returned to Europe last Friday. I don't know when he will be back, maybe two or three days as soon as possible, or a week as slow as possible.
Of course, it is also possible that he still wants to stay in the Dayak Group after thinking about it. This is also a possibility, but the possibility is not high.
Because when Pei Qian was having dinner with Eric, Eric's attitude had clearly shaken. As a person who has no real power and has to take the blame, Eric can't be without complaints.
Then, in addition to waiting for Eric, Pei Qian also has a very important thing to think about, how to dig Zhao Xuming as a living treasure.
With only one Eric, it's still a bit dangerous after all.
What if he was overtaken by the rest of his subordinates?
You must know that Eric is now facing the most brutal group of employees in history. They are deeply baptized by the spirit of Tenda and have a strong sense of honor and mission. There are two big characters written on their foreheads: success!
In this environment, in case Eric was assimilated, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, it is also a very important thing to find Zhao Xuming to fight against Eric, so that this golden partner can bring the "successful" experience in Longyu Group to Tenda.
Sometimes it takes a combination of two swords to make the most of it.
But how exactly Zhao Xuming digs is a big problem.
Eric took advantage of the loophole and didn't need to care about the non-compete agreement, but Zhao Xuming couldn't.
He is a high-level executive of the serious Longyu Group, and it is definitely not allowed to jump to a domestic game company in the competition agreement.
Let him first resign on the grounds of physical reasons?
These high-level executives have been working for a long time, and their bodies are more or less wrong. It should be easy to confuse them with a medical report.
The problem is that Zhao Xuming can resign, but he cannot join Tenda.
Once hired, Longyu Group is not stupid, and will definitely come to the door immediately.
Moreover, if the agreement was signed in black and white, even if the most brilliant lawyer in the country was hired, it would be no use, and the case would still be lost.
At that time, not to mention whether the liquidated damages system will be given or not, in case of liquidated damages, Longyu Group still asks to continue to enforce it and prevent Zhao Xuming from working in Tengda?
It's quite possible.
After thinking about it, Pei Qian felt that this matter could not be hard.
Because of love, law and reason, it is not right to secretly dig Zhao Xuming.
Then the only way is to talk to the Longyu Group and let them voluntarily give up Zhao Xuming through some kind of exchange of interests.
They are all mature companies, and they are doing things for interests, and they are not arrogant.
As long as the conditions given are enough to make Longyu Group's heart move, there must be no time to lift the sedan chair, oh no, send Zhao Xuming over with gongs and drums.
But here comes the question: what conditions can make Longyu Group be excited?
Pei Qian really doesn't know.
Come up with a Tenda game to represent the Longyu Group?
That definitely won't work.
Longyu Group must agree, but Pei Qian feels that this sacrifice is too great, and Zhao Xuming can't make such a big sacrifice.
Although Pei Qian was thirsty for "virtuous people", he was not thirsty for this.
Whether it will damage Tengda's image for the time being, the key is that the extra money is hard to top!
Let the Longyu Group make a request.
When they make a request, they will bargain in a targeted manner. As long as an agreement is reached without violating the system regulations, then there will be no problem.
After careful consideration, Pei Qian decided to call Zhou Muyan of Tianhuo Studio.
Pei Qian is not familiar with the bosses and senior management of Longyu Group, because there is no business relationship, and because of the ioi matter, it is quite unpleasant.
Going to the door directly is more embarrassing, and the communication efficiency may be relatively low.
As far as Pei Qian knows, Longyu Group once represented Tianhuo Studio's games, and the two sides had had in-depth cooperation, and Zhou Muyan had a relatively good relationship there.
Let Zhou Muyan be the middleman, and it might be more effective.
After dialing the phone, Pei Qian briefly explained his thoughts.
The meaning is very clear: you communicate with the Longyu Group, I want to dig Zhao Xuming over and let them make a price!
Emphasize an open and above-board, do not engage in those bewildering.
Zhou Muyan was also surprised, not because of President Pei's blatant poaching behavior. After all, this kind of thing is not common but not uncommon.
What surprised him was that President Pei went so far to dig Zhao Xuming?
Tenda lacks such a person?
GOG has obviously beaten ioi to the point of being unable to find the north. Even if there is a vacancy in the position, wouldn't it be over with a promotion from within Tenda? Why bother to dig Zhao Xuming?
In Zhou Muyan's impression, although this Zhao Xuming can be regarded as a reliable person, but he is very capable? Strong enough that President Pei named someone by name? That can't be said.
"Mr. Pei, are you sure you want to dig Zhao Xuming? Longyu Group will definitely not let people go easily. What if the lion opens up?" Zhou Muyan asked.
Pei Qian chuckled: "That's why I found you, I need you to 'communicate' with them."
"Zhao Xuming weighs a few pounds and taels. I know it, you know it, and the Longyu Group knows it too."
"If Longyu Group puts forward a request that is not too excessive, then naturally everyone will be happy, everyone will get what they need and cooperate happily."
"If the lions of the Longyu Group open their mouths... don't think that Tengda really needs a Zhao Xuming to turn?"
"I see that the 1024 Digital Festival is approaching. If I happen to be in a bad mood, I don't mind doing some activities for GOG and various games a few days in advance."
"I think Longyu Group should understand this. If they don't understand, you can help them understand, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Muyan: "..."
Good guy, I heard the threat in President Pei's words.
President Pei's meaning is very clear. If the Longyu Group is obedient to let people go, the two companies can cooperate; if the lion opens up or doesn't let people go, if President Pei is not happy, he may have to target the Longyu Group.
Of course, there will be no serious consequences. At most, GOG will engage in activities to make the data and revenue of the ioi national server plummet for a period of time, or target other games being represented by Longyu Group.
But there is no doubt that this affects all the silver of the white flowers.
What Zhou Muyan has to do is to be a lobbyist, help Longyu Group clarify the stakes, and at the same time coordinate to determine a compensation that can be satisfied by both parties.
As for what Zhao Xuming meant...
Zhou Muyan felt that he should have no interest. President Pei asked for someone in person, and he should have turned somersaults excitedly.
And going to Tenda, the treatment and development prospects are bound to be better than Longyu Group.
Zhou Muyan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll try it out, and call again if there is progress."
He and President Pei are also old acquaintances. Tianhuo Studio has a GPL team of its own. In recent years, it has been taken care of by President Pei. It's not a problem to make a phone call or get a line.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian waited patiently while flipping through the work reports of various departments.
...
More than an hour later, Zhou Muyan called back.
"Mr. Pei, the conditions on the Longyu Group side are: President Pei, you design a game, which will be developed by our Tianhuo studio, and then handed over to the Longyu Group for operation. The three of us will cooperate for a win-win situation and share a good deal."
"Actually, Longyu Group wanted a Tenda game agent at the beginning. I said at the time that it would definitely not work. This requirement was too much. So after some negotiation, this condition was determined."
"I think this condition is reasonable, what do you think, Mr. Pei?"
Pei Qian nodded slightly, it seemed that Zhou Muyan's "communication" was quite effective.
This condition is not excessive.
In Zhou Muyan's view, asking to represent Tenda's existing games is basically tantamount to forcibly dividing money.
Tenda's games are all successful and profitable games that have been proven by the market. Longyu Group is acting as an agent, isn't it just lying down and sharing money?
Even if Zhao Xuming is an executive, the liquidated damages are only a few million at most, and the income brought by a game can be far more than a few million.
So Zhou Muyan called back directly and told Longyu Group that he was thinking about shit, and don't play with fire in front of President Pei.
If President Pei is angry, he may not be able to do anything.
But the current conditions are actually quite good.
The development cost is jointly borne by Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group, and Pei Qian is only responsible for the design.
After the game is made, the three families will share the money together.
To be precise, Pei Qian is considered a "technical investment". Even if the game fails and loses money, he doesn't have to bear any losses. It's all about Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group.
Although there is a risk of failure, in the view of Longyu Group, this risk is obviously almost non-existent.
Who doesn't know that Pei is always a game design genius? Make a fire one?
Even if you don't make a lot of money, you won't lose too much.
It is definitely not a loss to trade Zhao Xuming for a game that may make money.
Pei Qian fell into silence. Obviously, everyone has some misunderstandings about his game design ability...
Zhou Muyan and Longyu Group must have thought that Mr. Pei's games were all designed with great effort, sleepless nights, and a lot of effort.
But in fact, Pei Qian really didn't bother, and the design was very casual...
Pei Qian thought about it and said, "I can accept this condition, but I have three requirements."
"First, I don't guarantee the success of the game."
"Second, I want to parachute a designer to your studio to complete my design, and you have to develop it according to his requirements."
"Third, hand over to someone first."
What Pei Qian means is that the ugly words are in the front, don't come to me if you lose money.
Moreover, the ideas given by Pei Qian are relatively incomplete, and they have to be handed over to Zhou Muyan. Zhou Muyan must be surprised, and he doesn't know how to develop them.
So Pei Qian thought that it was time to arrange a job for Min Jingchao.
After Eric and Zhao Xuming took over his job, Min Jingchao went to Tianhuo Studio to complete the design of the game. No matter whether it made money or not, at least the game was developed.
In this case, it is considered a contract.
