Losing Money to Be a Tycoon - Chapter 1579

Chapter 1579 You’d Better Look For Min Jingchao

May 25th, Saturday.

Boss Ding came to his office with a dark expression and called his assistant in front of him.

“Call Jin Yong over.” The assistant looked pained. “Boss Ding, Jin Yong did not come to the office today on Saturday.”

Boss Ding was stunned.

It felt like this had happened before?

Ever since Min Jingchao came, Jin Yong was no longer the workaholic of the company.

His working hours had become regular. He would leave immediately after work, just like the other person-in-charge. He would not stay for a minute more.

After a moment of silence, Boss Ding raised his voice an octave. “Call Boss Kang over, then!”

He was a little puzzled. Why was he not around every time he looked for Jin Yong!

Actually, this was normal. That was because Boss Ding would choose to look for him during non-working hours every time.

For executives, choosing to look for subordinates during breaks was a common practice.

He could not disturb his employees who were working hard during working hours.

However, during noon, night and weekends, many employees might slip away. Thus, looking for employees at such a time could not only check up on them but also not delay their daily work. It was what executives and bosses loved to do!

Many bosses even formed a special working time.

The boss would definitely not come in the morning. Whether he was resting at home or going out to talk, the chances of him skipping work were very low since there was a card machine at the company to keep an eye on the employees.

However, these bosses came one by one when it was time to knock off. They pretended to work overtime until late at night in the company.

The reason was simple, he wanted to see which department did not have a positive attitude towards overtime!

Boss Ding was in a similar pattern. On the surface, it looked like he was working overtime in the office until past ten at night. However, he was not around most of the day.

Only he knew what he did in the day!

Once Jin Yong strictly followed Min Jingchao’s instructions and went to work and leave at normal times, wouldn’t he not be able to find anyone?

Boss Ding could only call Boss Kang over.

Strictly speaking, Management Director Kang was in charge of HR. He did not know much about game operations.

However, those who knew better did not come to work!

Boss Ding had only looked for Boss Kang to vent his anger. He had not expected him to solve any substantial problem.

“Old Kang, the operating modification plan is out, the new version is released, and the data is out. In the end, all the data are declining!”

“There must be a problem!”

“Let’s not talk about anything else. On the second day that the new version was released, not a single person came to work. That’s too much!”

Boss Kang rolled his eyes in his heart and prepared to push the blame away. “Boss Ding, why don’t you call Min Jingchao and ask him to call everyone back?”.

The corners of Boss Ding’s mouth twitched. He choked back the blame that Boss Kang threw at him on the spot.

That was because he knew in his heart that calling Min Jingchao would be a waste of effort. He might even be humiliated!

“We can’t… sit back and do nothing!” Boss Ding’s anger was not willing to dissipate so easily.

Boss Kang laughed in his heart seeing that Boss Ding was scared as well. He said patiently, “Boss Ding, since Min Jingchao is in charge of this matter, he must have his own plan. I can’t tell much from the short-term data. After all, only two weeks have passed. Let’s wait a while.”

Boss Ding nodded helplessly again and waved his hand, gesturing for Boss Kang to leave.

Boss Kang had only taken two steps when Boss Ding stopped him.

“Wait, Old Kang, I think something’s not right.” Boss Ding pondered for a moment. “Why do I feel like you’re working together to take over me?”

Boss Kang was stunned. “Why would you have such an idea?”

Boss Ding said angrily, “No matter what I say, whether I find you or Jin Yong, you pushed the problem directly to Min Jingchao.”

“Do you listen to me or Min Jingchao? Or do you think I’m afraid of Min Jingchao?”

Boss Kang smiled. “Of course, we’ll listen to you! How about… you fire Min Jingchao directly? We’ll change whatever we want. You can say anything!”

Boss Ding was speechless. “I…”

In fact, there was no need to fire him. He just had to terminate the cooperation agreement with Tengda.

However, the matter of terminating the agreement had to be unanimously approved by all the higher-ups. Boss Ding could not make the decision alone!

The key was that the current decline in data and the changes that caused the profits were not enough to persuade all the higher-ups to make this decision.

Boss Ding could only lean towards the overall situation and pretend to be distressed. “Sigh, we can’t do this!”

“I said before that Min Jingchao is arrogant now. This is a foolish undertaking! He doesn’t understand the objective situation of Long Yu Corporation, so he forcefully followed Tengda Corporation’s rules of getting off work on time.”

“Look, many players don’t mean what they say. They say that they are welcomed, but in fact, they prefer to play with paywalls!”

“I dare to say that this figures will definitely decrease within a week! That’s because after the initial craze of modification is over, most players will start to lose their sense of novelty. It’s impossible to retain players with pure conscience!”

“I’m only reminding Boss Pei because I’m afraid that Min Jingchao will destroy Boss Pei’s undefeated legend!”

“In the end, he’s good! He’s as hard-headed as a steel plate. He doesn’t listen to a single word of advice. I asked you to send him a message, but you rejected me. In the long term, who will take responsibility if this matter blows up?”

Boss Kang smiled. “Don’t worry! If you really mess up, the one who loses the most is Boss Pei. What are you worried about?”

Boss Ding sighed helplessly. “Sigh, alright. We’ll see next week!”

May 27th, Monday. For once, Boss Ding arrived at the office during working hours.

Previously, he would only come when he was about to knock off. However, he would always miss.

He had purposely come in the morning to see what the employees were doing!

Could Min Jingchao’s plan work?!

At the entrance of the company, Boss Ding saw that everyone was working in an orderly manner. They were stuck at nine AM to work.

Boss Ding shook his head slightly and sighed inwardly. This working attitude was hopeless! He was a little regretful now. Inviting Min Jingchao over did not seem to be the right choice.

OV

If Min Jingchao had only come up with the idea to change the operations plan, it would not have been a loss. However, Min Jingchao had now completely messed up the working atmosphere of the entire company!

Once Min Jingchao left, wouldn’t Boss Ding have to clean up this mess himself?

At the thought of this, Boss Ding felt a little uncomfortable.

Boss Ding did not flare up immediately even though he was uncomfortable. He only came to his office and sipped his tea sulkily.

Before he could finish his tea, he heard a knock on his office door.

Jin Yong walked in.

Boss Ding had not been feeling good to begin with. All of a sudden, he felt it in his chest!

Good lord, it was not easy to meet Jin Yong!

He sent Jin Yong to assist Min Jingchao because he felt that Jin Yong was reliable and willing to work. He was an old employee of the company and was trustworthy.

He asked him to go over because he hoped to restrict Min Jingchao. At the very least, he would not be completely led by the nose by the other party.

This Jin Yong was good. He took an outsider’s side and accompanied Min Jingchao wholeheartedly!

As Jin Yong’s direct leader, Boss Ding could not even find him, much less give him orders.

This was the first time Jin Yong took the initiative to report the situation to Boss Ding after Min Jingchao came to Long Yu Corporation. Boss Ding thought that Jin Yong must have found a reason to explain because the data was not good. At that thought, he pulled a long face and put on a front. “What’s the matter?”

Jin Yong naturally did not know what Boss Ding was thinking. He cut straight to the chase. “Boss Ding, I want to report the operating data of our games to you in person.”

Boss Ding’s expression did not change. He sneered in his heart. “Yes, tell me.”

Jin Yong handed the pre-prepared report over. “From the situation last weekend, the gamers of these games have experienced a small decline in online time and per capita charging consumption data.”

Boss Ding nodded slightly and smiled coldly. This was exactly as he had expected.

However, Jin Yong’s next words made Boss Ding unable to laugh.

“However, the number of new players in these games increased significantly, discussion, retention rate, and other data!”

“What’s more, the ratings of all the games in the game shops and application shops have obviously increased.” Boss Ding was stunned. “Huh???”

He opened the report in disbelief and carefully checked the relevant data. In the end, he realized that everything Jin Yong said was true!

What would that imply?

There might be a slight decline in players’ online time and per capita charging spending data but the reputation of the game had obviously improved. As the reputation improved, it led to the influx of new players and the retention of old players.

In other words, the game was livelier!

In Boss Ding’s understanding, this situation was too unscientific!

That was because they might not be able to tolerate the sudden reduction in burden after players were used to the gameplay with liver and paywalls.

Players were already used to playing for 10 hours a day. If they were suddenly changed to six hours, what would the remaining four hours be for?

They could only play other games!

Wouldn’t players be easily snatched away by other games?

It was even stranger that the game’s reputation could improve.

That was because Long Yu Games had been scolded a long time ago. However, being scolded did not affect earning money. This bad reputation had been with Long Yu Games for a long time. How could it be reversed in the short term?

The only explanation was that Min Jingchao and his plan had more influence than Boss Ding thought.

Not only had this modification plan changed players’ impression of Long Yu Corporation, but it was also developing in a good direction!

Boss Ding could not help but recall the complaints he had made to Boss Kang last Saturday.

At that time, he was very sure that the data would definitely continue to fall within a week. He also said that Min Jingchao was asking for a sword. He would definitely not be able to adapt to Tengda’s working model to Long Yu Corporation!

However, the new statistics had given him a huge slap in the face!

A small portion of the data was still falling, but most of the data was rising. What’s more, as new users flooded in, the income level would sooner or later rise to its original height.

What was the most important to a game that was still operating? Of course, the ne players were the most important!

Without new gamers, the game would have no source of revenue. It would only be a matter of time before it died.

What’s more, from the report, this improved plan was not only effective on popular games.

Under the drastic changes, the figures of several games that were about to turn cold also showed obvious improvements.

Boss Ding was very dissatisfied with such an outcome. He felt that something was wrong. However, he could not find a reason to refute because the data would not lie!

When he was using data to strangle the operating system, making them work harder to change the game, he did not think that today, the operating system would also strangle him with data to tell him: We changed the right game!

That confused Boss Ding.

He had wanted to take the opportunity of the data slipping to teach Jin Yong a lesson. He could only hold it in his throat in front of such data.

He looked at Jin Yong and then at the data report in his hand. The fluctuations in his heart made his expression very exciting.
