1260 The Person Who Knows The Opponent The Most

October 22nd, Monday…

Eric and Zhao Xuming had arrived in Jingzhou last Wednesday. In the blink of an eye, three working days had passed.

Today was the first week that Eric and Zhao Xuming had taken over GOG's operations.

The entire process of handover was much faster than Eric and Zhao Xuming had imagined. They even had the illusion that Min Jingchao had left before they were ready.

Ordinary companies, such as the handover process at Long Yu Corporation, would have to hand over such an important job for a month or two, right?

Two to three weeks minimum was a must, right?

One had to know that GOG was currently Tengda's most profitable project with the most players. In fact, after defeating IOI in the future, it had a high chance of becoming the game with the most players in the world.

That was because GOG and IOI's players had reached this goal. Once IOI collapsed, most players would be eaten by GOG.

Why was Boss Pei handing over such an important project so hastily?

The entire process was a little too tight with the last three days for handover. The main items were:

He would separate GOG's operations and hand the domestic and foreign parts to Zhao Xuming and Eric.

Introduce the daily work of operations to the two of them, as well as how to deal with special situations;

Introduce the businesses that the core members of each project were mainly in charge of so that it would be easier for them to arrange missions and work assignments in the future.

He introduced the other projects, mainly Zhang Yuan and the work content of the E-Sports Department and the corresponding core business person-in-charge, so as to facilitate future collaboration and cooperation.

He had decided on a moving plan for the entire GOG department. All the research and development staff related to GOG would be moved to a new floor. There would be an exclusive area when the Tengda headquarters building was built in the future.

As for the work desks that had been vacated after moving away, except for Min Jingchao's work desk as the 'cenotaph' and the work desks of the other person-in-charge that had been permanently reserved, they were all transferred to Tengda Games' research and development department to recruit new people.

Eric and Zhao Xuming were a little confused after arranging so many things in just three days.

They had only noted it down with Min Jingchao and had barely figured out the current mode of operation of the entire GOG project team. It was impossible for them to be proficient in these tasks.

Who could master it in such a short period of time?!

Eric and Zhao Xuming were a little flustered. They wanted Min Jingchao to teach them for a few more days, but Boss Pei was urging them very urgently.

Of course, Pei Qian did not want Min Jingchao to tell them too much…

If these two really replicated Min Jingchao's work model complete then what was the point of Pei Qian spending so much effort to poach them?

All in all, Min Jingchao quickly explained all the work, handed it over, and left within these three days.

Eric and Zhao Xuming were the only ones left sitting at their desks, stunned. They had a good experience of the 'Tengda speed'.

At that moment, the two of them were seated at their work desks. They had just arranged to move their work desks.

Over the weekend, all of GOG's research and development staff and operations staff would move to the 22nd floor of Shenhua View. Considering that there might be more people in the future, the 23rd floor would be reserved in advance.

In any case, given Tengda's current rate of expansion, there was not much difference between renting one more floor and renting one less floor when renting work desks. It did not matter to pay an additional month's rent. Soon, it would be filled.

Eric and Zhao Xuming finally found an opportunity to sit down and talk about their work after settling down.

Zhao Xuming sighed. "The difference in the work flow is too huge!"

"On GOG's side, the person-in-charge has the final say. Min Jingchao has a lot of work to do. He doesn't need to hold meetings to prove or test it out. In fact, he doesn't even need to report it to Boss Pei most of the time. He can arrange for it to be done directly!"

"The key is that Boss Pei doesn't seem to care at all. He would only come over to give pointers under certain circumstances, but he only requested a special event."

"This method is too small… Uh, too efficient."

Zhao Xuming had wanted to say 'small workspace', but on further thought, something was amiss. Even though this felt like a small workspace, he had been beaten to the ground by the small workspace model for the past year. It would be too embarrassing if he thought about it this way.

Tengda Corporation's working model was a stark contrast to his time at Long Yu Corporation.

If he wanted to make an operation there, he had to first report the proposal to the upper echelons. Then, he had to communicate with the Development Team. If it was a game from a foreign company like IOI, he had to communicate across countries.

They had to give some opinions on every level. The entire plan had to be changed three or four times at the very least. What's more, it might be directly rejected by Finger Games in the end.

That was because many operations had to be developed in the game. Long Yu Corporation could not mess with the client. They had to obtain Finger Games' permission first.

It would be difficult to organize a new event this time. Basically, more than half of the time was spent running various processes.

However, it was different for GOG. The person-in-charge could do whatever activities he wanted!

Previously, Zhao Xuming had thought that the heads of Tengda's various departments were Boss Pei's marionettes. They would do whatever Boss Pei asked them to do.

However, from the looks of it now, that was not the case at all!

When Boss Pei had needs, they were indeed the marionettes. However, such a situation was actually not common in daily work. Sometimes, Boss Pei would raise two or three needs a month, and sometimes half a year would pass without him mentioning anything.

When there was no need, the person-in-charge would do as he pleased!

Some activities targeting IOI were not Boss Pei's idea at all. They were all Min Jingchao's own ideas.

Of course, both models had their pros and cons.

Long Yu Corporation's model might be very inefficient but the biggest advantage was that it was not easy to make fatal mistakes. What's more, no one needed to take the blame if something went wrong. After all, it was vetted layer by layer.

In other words, the goal was not to do things well, but to not do the worst.

However, Tengda's model would be a huge problem once something went wrong. The person-in-charge would be responsible.

In other words, it would require more courage than Long Yu Corporation.

The biggest benefit of such a model was that it was efficient and the plan would not be changed randomly!

As long as the person-in-charge thought that it was something that had to be done, he could quickly gather the strength of the entire department to do the best.

Zhao Xuming could not help but feel emotional. It was no wonder that IOI was always beaten to the ground when comparing with GOG.

In the world of kungfu, speed defines the winner!

While IOI was still going through the process with Long Yu Corporation, GOG's event had been prepared. They were waiting for their employees to be exhausted. Their efficiency and speed were completely different!

Eric nodded. "Indeed, Tengda's structure can maximize the ability of the person-in-charge. What's more, it can often have strange effects when dealing with companies with 'big company diseases'."

"At the moment, GOG and IOI are in close combat. It's no wonder that such a structure can be used to go against everything."

Zhao Xuming complained. "That's right, but shouldn't that give us more time to hand over?"

"The person-in-charge has such a heavy responsibility, but the handover is over in three days. Isn't he waiting for us to make a mistake?"

As a person who was used to pushing the blame and was naturally cautious, Zhao Xuming keenly felt the weight on his shoulders.

A huge black pot seemed to be hanging above his head at any time. If he was not careful, it would be pulled down and locked up tightly.

That made him feel very dangerous.

Eric shook his head. "I think that's definitely not what Boss Pei meant."

Zhao Xuming was stunned. "Huh? What does that mean?"

Eric sighed. "You can often see more from another angle."

When he first came to be the person-in-charge of IOI, he had not been partners with Zhao Xuming. He had fought Tengda alone. In the end, he was quickly tortured.

Subsequently, he began to study Tengda, the unique company consciously. He studied Boss Pei's strategy in the business war.

Gradually, he made some progress.

However, no matter how hard he studied it, he could not see many things from the outside.

Thus, even though he had a grasp of the situation, he still had a vague understanding. Most of the time, he would come to misleading conclusions.

However, now that he was in Tengda and had truly come into contact with the core structure, Eric suddenly understood many things that he had not understood previously.

Eric continued, "I've been thinking about why Boss Pei wants to poach us. What's more, he seems to be willing to pay a certain price."

"This seems a little unreasonable because GOG has been winning. Min Jingchao has arranged all sorts of work well as the person-in-charge. What's the point of changing two defeated opponents to break up his work?"

"It can't be because he doesn't like him, right?"

"Which boss wouldn't like an employee who has no problems, completes his job perfectly, and is subjective and dynamic?"

"Now, I roughly understand."

"On one hand, it's because the people in charge of Tengda will be on shift soon after training. They will be moving to more important fields to expand. Min Jingchao has more or less met Boss Pei's requirements."

"On the other hand, once GOG reaches a certain stage, the two of us can play a greater role than Min Jingchao. The two of us have our advantages."

Zhao Xuming nodded in realization. "Yes… that's right. That should be the only possibility."

In order to poach him, Boss Pei had even given up a game idea. That was enough to show that there was something special about him that Boss Pei was interested in.

However, Zhao Xuming had not thought of it yet.

Eric continued, "We are definitely not as good as Min Jingchao in terms of game design. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about GOG's version update. Naturally, the original designers of the project team will be promoted and continue to be in charge of the new version and new hero."

"Then our advantage must be in game operations!"
