Chapter 248 Winter is Coming (10,000 Monthly Pass)(2/2)
…………
Not long after, Fang Nian changed the topic: "The company's current situation is actually not bad. How much money is left in the account?"
Guan Qiuhe's eyes paused for a moment before he caught up with his train of thought and replied: "Less than 120 million."
Fang Nian was a little surprised: "So few?"
"You may not have counted the money lost by the Demon Realm, which is almost 60 million." Guan Qiuhe sighed.
"This game is toxic and has cost countless operating expenses. Because we signed a revenue sharing contract, we also had to pay nearly 3 million to Demon Realm PC Games."
Hearing this, Fang Nian was silent for a moment and said, "Have the losses been calculated?"
"Not yet. The company is too tired to deal with it and we haven't had time yet." Guan Qiuhe replied, "I will let the finance department do the statistics when I get back."
Fang Nian thought for a moment and said: "At present, both web games have little value. The company behind them will get the market, and we will only have a piece of cake."
After a pause, Fang Nian looked at Guan Qiuhe and said in a consultative tone: "I don't have a good strategy to save the game. I only have a few simple ideas for now. You can listen and see if it works.
Shut down the Magic Domain web game, issue an announcement, and refund players who have not consumed all the remaining valuable coins in their accounts to save server resource expenses;
To develop the Legend experience server, focusing on player customization, I will write a simple plan for you. Players in all regional servers can log in one-way through the web game account to experience it. On the Legend web game, regional servers with low traffic will be merged."
Guan Qiuhe pondered for a moment and asked: "You mean you plan to continue operating the game business?"
"Although the entire web game ecosystem is currently being destroyed, Legend is the first game that many gamers play, and it has feelings."
Fang Nian made a gesture and said meaningfully: "So Legend will not die in ten or twenty years, but some operating companies will die."
Guan Qiuhe didn’t know that Fang Nian’s proposal of ‘experience server customization’ was likely to attract a large number of players;
As a result, the legendary ecology has been completely destroyed, and it will take at least a long time to heal.
This was what Fang Nian thought of temporarily, and he was the first to respond to the person behind the attack on "Greeting for Fun".
Guan Qiuhe thought for a while, finally agreed with Fang Nian's proposal, and then spoke again: "What about the company's operations?"
Fang Nian laughed: "Mr. Guan, this is your business. With the company's current funds, if we just support employees, we can support them for at least three years. The average monthly salary of employees is less than 10,000."
Guan Qiuhe also laughed: "The top management of the company is stable, but some employees at the bottom are restless."
"It doesn't matter if you're restless, stick to one standard: don't keep those who want to leave, and don't let those who want to come back." Fang Nian said casually, "The main thing is to pay attention to the outstanding employees in the R&D department and retain them appropriately. Talents will be the company's intangible wealth."
There are more than 200 employees, and the monthly salary is less than 2 million, which is 24 million a year and only 72 million in three years.
This is a simple math problem.
As for why executives are mentally stable, it’s because they are “fun-loving” and have money.
The capital is targeted and the original funds in the "Gand Fun" account will not disappear for no reason.
After knowing the truth behind it and agreeing with Fang Nian's proposal, Guan Qiuhe prepared to return to the company.
She didn't say any words of thanks or praise.
Fang Nian stood up and said: "Winter is coming, and we have to work together to get through it."
Guan Qiuhe nodded.
…………
Today is Thursday, a working day.
The company has encountered the biggest crisis since its establishment. Of course, Guan Qiuhe cannot stay for dinner.
Fang Nian sent Guan Qiuhe downstairs.
The hazy drizzle from before stopped.
Before parting, Fang Nian said again: "Although it is winter, there is no need to panic. Don't forget, the company office is all bought."
Guan Qiuhe pursed her lips and suddenly asked: "Did you already think that the company would face a crisis... No, you suggested buying an office area from the beginning. Why?"
"Because the man who stood in Pengcheng and looked at Hong Kong said something: both hands must be grasped and both hands must be strong." Fang Nian said seriously.
Guan Qiuhe looked at Fang Nian deeply and finally said: "I will work hard."
Fang Nian made a gesture: "Come on together."
Fang Nian has always been prepared with both hands. It is impossible for him to be unprepared when it comes to starting a company.
As 2010 approached, office buildings in the World Financial Center began to be rented but not sold again, and prices rose again.
A conservative estimate is that the current market price of a 39-story building is at least RMB 160 million.
For an area of 3,000 square meters, if the house price fluctuates slightly and rises slightly, it will cost hundreds to tens of millions.
Everyone can see that in a scarce area like Lujiazui, its value will only get higher and higher in the future;
If it hadn't been for the various scandals in the World Financial Center, the high rent-out rate, and terrifying operating expenses, they wouldn't have sold it!
Therefore, no matter how extreme it is, for example, if "Greed for Fun" is gone, Guan Qiuhe and Fang Nian will not be out of money.
You can get more than 100 million before tax from selling your house.
…………
Before noon on December 10, 2009, Greedy Fun Company issued two announcements.
One is to close the Demonic Domain web game.
The second is to adjust the operation of the legendary web game.
After being exaggerated by the media and fueled by thoughtful people, many different meanings have been interpreted.
"The game company 'Tan Hao Wan', which was established less than a year ago, has suffered a series of losses recently. The two games it operates have suffered major blows and may go bankrupt and liquidated."
"The forced shutdown of the Demon Realm web game is just the beginning."
“Perhaps this is the winter of ‘fun-loving’.”
"..."
Used a lot of eye-catching titles.
This time, it did not affect gamers.
Moreover, the rich players who were originally "greedy for fun and fun in the Demon Realm" are relatively happy because they have money to withdraw.
However, the current situation is as Fang Nian said, companies representing capital will gain game market space, and those who are "greedy for fun" are only a piece of cake...
After having lunch at the "Tiao Xian" tea restaurant, Fang Nian walked back to school.
Thinking about being 'for fun', Fang Nian couldn't help but mutter in his mind: "It's capital again."
This is not the first time that his industry has been targeted by capital, it has also happened in his previous life.
Dealing with capital is not easy.
Although if you only look at the immediate benefits, it will be as simple as just obeying.
Fang Nian doesn't like this matter from the bottom of his heart. It can't be his choice.
Fang Nian plans to think carefully about how to deal with this small capital attack and accumulate some experience.
As soon as he entered the school and passed Xiyuan, Fang Nian's cell phone rang, and a voice came immediately after he connected it.
"Where are you now?"
