Qing Shan Qu Zui
Chapter 1479 Four-Person Team (Bonus Chapter Requesting Monthly Tickets!)
At the same time, the GOG project team.
Eric was carefully considering the overseas operation plan for GOG in the near future.
This time, IOI's Spring Festival event was criticized both domestically and internationally, but the criticism was obviously much lighter overseas.
The criticism stemmed from the fact that IOI had been consistently releasing various skins for a long time, neglecting adjustments to the game's gameplay and balance, making the Dake Group's intention to make money overly obvious.
However, domestic players were more concerned about the unfair treatment of the FV team by Finger Company, while overseas players were not as concerned.
Moreover, GOG had engaged in a large-scale giveaway event domestically, but not overseas.
In short, after the World Championship and the Spring Festival event, GOG and IOI had indeed widened the gap overseas, but the gap was far from the level seen domestically.
Still need to work hard!
Eric was pondering a new operation plan when he suddenly noticed a pop-up window in the company's internal chat software, a small group of five people.
President Pei sent a message and then left the group.
Obviously, there might be hundreds of discussions in this group later, and Pei Qian found it too troublesome and didn't want to read them, so he left the group after arranging the work to keep things quiet.
Eric was stunned for a moment, first reading the message sent by President Pei, and then looking at the other three people in the group.
"This..."
Eric was dumbfounded.
Because he never expected that President Pei would want to acquire Finger Company? Even more unexpectedly, President Pei would entrust this important task to him!
Although Eric was previously a senior executive at Dake Group, since leaving, in order to express his loyalty to Tengda, he had completely cut off contact with Dake Group and Finger Company.
After coming to Tengda, he focused all his attention on GOG's overseas operation plan. Whether it was the World Championship or the new version, he was quite busy with various tasks and didn't pay much attention to IOI's affairs anymore.
Therefore, Eric still didn't know about the undercurrents of change within Dake Group and Finger Company.
"President Pei wants to acquire Finger Company, could it be to accelerate the pace and unify the entire MOBA game market in big strides?"
"Thinking about it this way, this is indeed a very good opportunity."
"But more importantly, President Pei chose me as the person in charge of the negotiation, this… this is such a heavy trust!"
As a defector, Eric felt warmth.
As a former employee of Dake Group, Eric wasn't suspected of being a spy, but most normal leaders would definitely be wary. Even if they didn't specifically guard against him, they would be somewhat distant.
Going to Dake Group to negotiate the acquisition of Finger Company was obviously a great opportunity!
Ordinary bosses would definitely choose their direct subordinates and confidants to do this.
But looking at President Pei, although the four people listed included Xin Hailu and He Desheng, two veterans, on the GOG project team side, he directly selected Eric!
Obviously, this showed that President Pei had absolutely no prejudice and regarded Eric as one of his own with a very broad mind!
This made Eric feel very moved.
"President Pei trusts me so much, I must use my understanding of Dake Group to fight for as much benefit as possible for President Pei!" Eric secretly resolved.
…
At the same time, Meng Chang had just returned to the advertising and marketing department.
After putting the plan back on his desk, he immediately called Fan Xiaodong.
It was early morning in the US, but the information in Meng Chang's hands was very important and couldn't be delayed.
"Hello? Xiaodong, I just got accurate news from President Pei. President Pei does intend to acquire Finger Company, and… holy crap!"
This sudden "holy crap" startled Fan Xiaodong. He asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
Meng Chang's voice trembled slightly with excitement: "President Pei just sent me a message..."
Fan Xiaodong was a little puzzled: "Sent a message? Could it be that you asked too obviously and President Pei found out?"
Meng Chang shook his head: "Actually, President Pei found out on the spot, but President Pei only gave a slight punishment, which won't affect the authenticity of this information..."
Fan Xiaodong: "Then why 'holy crap'?"
Meng Chang was silent for a moment before saying: "President Pei just sent me a message... asking me to work with three other Tengda executives to be responsible for the acquisition of Finger Company!"
"And President Pei also said... if some details can't be worked out through discussion, I'll have the final say..."
Fan Xiaodong was also silent on the other end.
Obviously, both of them were shocked by this sudden event!
After a long time, Fan Xiaodong asked with hesitation: "President Pei... why would he have you do this?"
Meng Chang: "Isn't that what I'm wondering about! If I knew, would I be so shocked that I'd say 'holy crap'?"
Both of them were a little confused.
Because this matter was completely outside Meng Chang's scope of authority!
Meng Chang was in charge of advertising and marketing, and he had basically never done any promotion plans for GOG, had never interacted with people from the GOG project team or Tengda's investment department, and had no connection with Finger Company and Dake Group.
On the other hand, the other three people had very close ties to the acquisition of Finger Company.
So why did President Pei specifically include Meng Chang?
What's more, President Pei also said in the group that if there were any problems when talking to Dake Group, the four of them should discuss it, and if some details couldn't be worked out, then Meng Chang would have the final say.
Such great power was not just for show!
Meng Chang was silent for a long time and said, "Could it be that... President Pei has already guessed that I will have some fancy moves in the capital market, and also knows that I can get some inside information, so he sent me over to play a role in this regard?"
Although it felt a bit outrageous, this was the only reasonable explanation!
Looking at the other three people: Eric was originally an employee of Dake Group and knew Dake Group and Finger Company very well, and also understood both GOG and IOI; Xin Hailu was President Pei's most trusted veteran employee, and He Desheng was the head of the investment department, both of whom had very strong professional knowledge.
During the negotiation, Eric could use the resources of the GOG project team, He Desheng could use the resources of the investment department, and Xin Hailu could use the resources of other departments. In other words, the resources of the entire Tengda Group could be mobilized to complete this acquisition together!
So what about Meng Chang?
He thought about it and thought that his only advantage seemed to be that he and Fan Xiaodong had some inside information about the capital market and had predicted the various fancy operations that Charles was about to carry out.
Fan Xiaodong agreed: "That makes sense!"
"So, President Pei is actually acquiescing to us getting some benefits in the capital market to some extent? But correspondingly, you must cooperate and guide the other three people to win Finger Company as quickly as possible and at the best price!"
"Thinking about it this way, you are really the most suitable candidate, because the other three people only understand their own business and it is difficult to coordinate and arrange everything, and... they don't have as much ambition as you."
"If you can integrate the resources of the three of them, you can win the greatest benefits for Tengda! And acquiescing to you making some profits in the capital market is the sweet treat for you, the motivation for you."
"President Pei is indeed good at knowing people and assigning them to the right positions!"
After the two sighed with emotion, Meng Chang said, "Okay, I'll hang up first, this matter can't be delayed, I have to start preparing immediately!"
"You also help me find out more about the news over there. When we talk to Dake Group, Charles will definitely try to obstruct us in every possible way. I have to think of countermeasures in advance."
"By the way, I think Charles is probably about to take action, and we can also prepare to start shorting Finger Company's stock."
Fan Xiaodong: "Understood, leave it to me!"
After hanging up the phone, Meng Chang immediately began to think about countermeasures and discuss with the other people in the group.
As a result, looking at the member list again, President Pei had already quit.
"President Pei is really confident... entrusting such a big thing entirely to us to handle?"
"... I'm impressed."
Meng Chang felt that his understanding of President Pei had been refreshed again.
Dare to not try his best? Dare to be self-righteous?
President Pei is watching!
