Chapter 1272 The Person Who Dumped the Pot Was Dug Out?

In the afternoon, the magic capital.

As soon as Chretien got off the plane and turned on his mobile phone, he received a series of bombardments.

Looking at the messages in English and Chinese, Chretien, who was dragging his suitcase out, stopped and frowned.

All bad news!

His face instantly became ugly, and his mood was even worse.

"Mr. Chretien! Hello, we meet again."

"Welcome back!"

There is already someone waiting at the airport.

Chretien looked up, he had an impression of this person, called Jin Yong, who was Zhao Xuming's right-hand man in the ioi operation and cooperation department before.

Since the ioi operation and cooperation department is a key department within the Longyu Group, Jin Yong's position is actually not low. Although he is not at the level of Zhao Xuming, he is considered a senior manager.

As early as when Zhitou Company and Longyu Group had just reached a cooperation on the operation of the ioi national server, Chretien was the person in charge of the Greater China Region, so he had already dealt with this group of people.

"Let's get in the car first and chat while walking. In the past half year, a lot has happened..." Jin Yong's tone was obviously quite emotional.

Chretien nodded, followed Jin Yong and the accompanying driver to the parking lot and got into the commercial car.

He was just appointed a few days ago and became the head of the Greater China Region again.

But for Chretien, he was not happy at all.

Because this time the situation is even worse than when he was in charge before!

When he first succeeded Eric as the head of the Greater China Region, he was still ambitious. Cooperating with Longyu Group to hold the first ioi global finals, and the series of measures implemented therefrom, are all because he firmly believes that his successful experience in the European market can bring the ioi national service back to life.

But now?

There is no such fantasy at all.

Since the ioi finals did not work well and was replaced by Eric, Chretien returned to the Finger Company to continue his old business and was responsible for the follow-up development of the game.

For him, this result is not unacceptable. After all, fighting with GOG in the national server has made him a little tired physically and mentally.

Of course, in his eyes, it was a fight, but in the eyes of the higher-ups, it might be a one-sided beating.

So for Chretien, it's more comfortable to go back and continue designing games quietly.

But gradually, he realized that something was wrong.

He began to frequently receive development needs directly from the top management of Dayak Group, such as new paid content, operational activities, etc.

Immediately afterwards, there were bad news from the ioi side.

Although Chretien and Eric have different philosophies, he also knows very well that Eric is definitely a capable person.

If Eric has devoted himself to researching Tenda for so long, but still can't make things turn around, even if there will be no turnaround in the future...

The more and more frequent interventions of the Dayak Group, revealing increasingly strong profit intentions, also made Chretien uneasy.

This time he took over as the person in charge, but it was not a promotion. It was simply because everyone knew that the ioi national server had become a mess, and the person in charge of the Greater China Region had become a scapegoat, so he was not willing to come.

Chretien is very clear that most of them have no right to speak as the person in charge of the Greater China Region. It must be the task assigned by the top of the Dayak Group.

Just like this event.

Tenda's 1024 Digital Festival-related game promotion activities are carried out simultaneously around the world. Dayak Group, Finger Company and Longyu Group are all watching, so I got the news immediately.

Since the position of the person in charge of the Greater China Region is temporarily vacant, Chretien has not had time to take office, so this decision was made by the top three parties.

After the three parties communicated remotely, they immediately decided to take this opportunity to launch a new skin that had been prepared for a long time, and took the opportunity to increase the price.

Of course, the opinions of the top executives of Dayak Group may account for more than 70% of this decision.

Chretien instinctively felt that this matter might be a fraud. After all, he had dealt with Boss Pei before, and Boss Pei's deadly style of playing cards out of the way left a deep impression on him.

But after all, he has been out of the operating position for a while, and he does not know the current situation, nor can he guess what specific routine Tenda is going to play.

What's more, even if he expresses concerns, this suggestion is optional for the top management of Dayak Group. It is impossible to give up the once-in-a-lifetime precious price increase opportunity just because of Chretien's concerns.

As a result, it became what it is now.

Chretien found that he hadn't even got off the plane, and the black pot was already hanging over his head, and he couldn't help but collapse.

Sitting in the van, Chretien sighed softly.

Anyway, let's be safe when it comes.

If your destiny is to carry the blame, then you have to carry the blame and move forward.

He looked at Jin Yong, and he was quite satisfied with this person.

Judging from the experience of working together before, Zhao Xuming is obviously a slippery old fried dough stick. Although his brain is easy to use, he is a good hand at throwing the pot.

Chretien was born as a designer, and he was born with a different philosophy with Zhao Xuming. After working together, he had a lot of opinions on him.

Jin Yong, on the other hand, is more pragmatic and quick to do things, and he left a good impression on Chretien during his previous cooperation.

Thinking of this, Chretien said: "There is something that I am hesitating to say."

Jin Yong was stunned for a moment: "Just say it, we are all old acquaintances, so there's no need to show off like this."

After thinking for a moment, Chretien said: "I want to talk to the senior management of your Longyu Group and ask you to take over as the head of the ioi operation and cooperation department. To be honest, the cooperation between Mr. Zhao and I does not seem to be very tacit, continue. Working together may be a drag for both of us and not conducive to the development of work.”

He said it more euphemistically, in fact, he disliked Zhao Xuming's inability.

Although Zhao Xuming is good at throwing the pot, but that is all for the people above.

From the management's point of view, Zhao Xuming's pot has indeed been thrown out, and his body is clean and there is no problem; but for his partner Chretien, the pot is thrown on himself!

Therefore, Chretien has a great opinion on Zhao Xuming, and the first thing is to replace him.

This is not a very excessive request.

Before, Longyu Group had a good attitude towards Zhitou Company, basically responding to requests. After all, ioi is a project that Longyu Group attaches great importance to, and in this game, Zhitou Company has a great say.

Chretien didn't want to give Zhao Xuming a slap to the end, he just wanted him to change positions, and change positions that were more suitable for him.

This requirement should be satisfied by the senior management of Longyu Group.

After hearing this, Jin Yong was silent.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Mr. Chretien, there is something I am hesitating to say."

Chretien couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you just say that we are all old acquaintances, don't you need to be so out? Just say it."

Jin Yong thought about it and said, "I am now the head of the ioi operation and cooperation department."

Chretien's face showed a slightly surprised expression: "Really? What about Mr. Zhao? He was transferred to another department?"

In his view, this result is not very surprising.

How many times has Zhao Xuming lost?

Having made so many mistakes, but still sitting in the position of the person in charge without being replaced is outrageous.

I don't know what the senior leaders of Longyu Group have taken a fancy to him, so it's so deadly.

But now it's alright, the Longyu Group is finally enlightened.

Replacing Zhao Xuming, although the situation could not be fundamentally changed, but Chretien thought that when the person in charge was replaced by Jin Yong, he could cooperate with peace of mind and save himself the trouble of going to the senior management of Longyu Group. feel very happy.

This is the only good news in the near future.

Jin Yong's expression was a little embarrassed: "Uh... I'll just say it directly, Mr. Zhao was poached by Tengda, and now he is the head of GOG's national service operations..."

Chretien's eyes widened in disbelief, and the whole person froze.

He even doubted his ears a little.

What the hell? !

Zhao Xuming was poached by Tenda and became the head of GOG?

This kind of goods Tenda also?

Why does President Pei want to dig his own defeated generals? And is it still a loser who has lost more than once and has never won?

If it weren't for Jin Yong's very serious and serious expression, he almost thought that Jin Yong was joking with himself.

In order to prevent further misunderstandings, Jin Yong hurriedly finished the words at once: "It seems that Eric has also been dug up by President Pei."

Chretien fell into a long silence, seeming to be fully digesting the information.

It is so unreasonable that it subconsciously resists and is difficult to accept.

After a long time, he asked weakly, "Don't they have a non-compete agreement..."

Jin Yong explained: "I only know that Mr. Zhao's competition agreement has been properly resolved, and Mr. Pei will definitely not dig people hard. This kind of competition agreement will not be ignored."

Chretien fell silent again, with a complicated expression.

He also disliked Zhao Xuming, and as a result, Zhao Xuming went to GOG to be the person in charge!

What, co-authoring this means that I am actually climbing high?

I dragged Zhao Xuming's hind legs?

The clown is me?

Otherwise, why am I forced to come here as a pick-up man, while Zhao Xuming has risen step by step, and even became the person in charge of GOG?

Anyone with eyes can see that being the person in charge of the GOG national server is much more promising than the ioi national server.

After all, one has entered a perfect virtuous circle, and the user base has been expanding; while the other is dying.

Chretien was silent for a while, but decided to change the subject and stop discussing it.

After all, the more discussion, the more frustrated I feel.

"Actually, as the person in charge of the Greater China Region, there are not many things to do, but the tasks that should be completed still have to be completed. We still cooperate well and complete the work with due diligence."

"Of course, I'll be honest, it's a bit difficult to fundamentally reverse the situation. We can only expect some action from the top."

Chretien knows that if the current situation is to be reversed, it is not only necessary to keep up with the quality of the game, but more importantly, the Dayak Group must be willing to give resources and continue to spend money.

Otherwise, with GOG's efforts to spend money, this tragedy will probably happen more than once.

This is the same as marching to fight a war. In addition to the combat capability of the army, the key is logistics supply. Tenda has always had a huge resource preference for GOG, and is willing to give up huge profits to seize the market. It is simply Tianke who is eager for the profit desire of Shangdayake Group.

"Wait a moment."

"Could it be that Eric and Zhao Xuming did this event?"

Thinking of this event, combined with the fact that Zhao Xuming was dug up, Chretien suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of this possibility.

For this event, he is not very clear about the specific details, after all, he was on the plane when the incident happened.

But after a brief look at the information, I also understood the cause and effect.

He felt desperate to clean up this mess just after taking office.

The key is that there is no way to deal with it, what can I do now? It is absolutely impossible to apologize or lower the price, because the damaged reputation is difficult to recover. After the price is lowered, it is absolutely impossible to increase the price in the future.

Let the players eat the sweetness, and the players will scolded wildly when the price of the skin increases in the future. What can be done?

If he really did this, he would never be able to explain it to the top of the Dayak Group.

Moreover, such things as price reductions, he said, does not count.

The final result of this matter is mostly as if nothing happened, no apology, no change in price, only to be scolded.

At least skin prices have gone up.

At most, Chretien is doing some activities to compensate the players, but there is no other way.

Thinking that such a fatal blow came from Eric... Chretien's mood is very complicated, even a little sour.

Jin Yong thought for a while and said, "This is not clear, but it has only been a week since Mr. Zhao passed, so he shouldn't take over the work so soon."

Chretien balanced a little.

If he knew that Mr. Zhao was killing the Quartet, his mentality would collapse!

Jin Yong added: "As for our side, you can rest assured that I am very aware of the current situation, and I will definitely do my best to cooperate with your work."

In fact, the two of them are very clear about the current situation of ioi, but some things cannot be said even if it is true.

Although Jin Yong couldn't feel the change in the attitude of the top management of Dayak Group from the finger company like Chretien, he could feel the change in the attitude of the senior management of Longyu Group.

The current ioi operation and cooperation department has actually received less attention.

Because the ioi national service is really not good, it is meaningless to invest resources and energy!

This time GOG can be said to have hit ioi with a heavy punch, and the ioi national service has also been greatly affected.

It stands to reason that the Longyu Group is the party whose interests are damaged. It should be gritted with hatred for this matter. After all, the income of the ioi national service is afraid that it will be severely hit again.

However, the senior management of Longyu Group was indifferent to this.

What if you are angry? In the current state, the ioi national service is hopeless.

In this case, it is better to keep the resources and prepare them for new games jointly developed by Tianhuo Studio and Tenda.

Therefore, it is very profitable to replace Zhao Xuming with a new game, as long as this new game can be successful and can replace the position of the ioi national server within the Longyu Group.

Next, as long as the data of this new game is not bad, Longyu Group will transfer most of the resources on the ioi side.

Jin Yong also knew this, so he, like Chretien, completed his tasks step by step with the idea of ​​"being a monk hits the clock for a day".

Chretien nodded: "Okay, go to the company first, I have to familiarize myself with the work here."
