Facts have proved that since the Deputy Secretary General dared to make such a commitment, he really has a bit of courage and ability. On the day of the end of the press conference, he began to transfer people directly from within the company, transferred more than 100 programmers at one go and joined the development project team of the box game online store.
Because Microsoft attaches great importance to this project, the letter sent by the deputy secretary general is going all the way. Although the number of 100 programmers seems small, they are all the most elite programmers of Microsoft. They have experienced various network projects such as windows system, WPS and MSN. Some people can even evaluate their own efforts, In just ten days, a decent portal or large forum will be created.
Anyway, these are the absolute strength of Microsoft. Even if the power is not awesome, they can only look at envy. It is precisely because of this strength that the Deputy Secretary of the house dare to empty his lips for 20 days and get out an online game store.
Then the deputy secretary general took out a series of means, various bonuses, various picture cake promises, various considerate services, and even directly emptied an office as a temporary rest room, so that programmers can have a short sleep in the rest room, so as to devote all the remaining time to development.
In order to cheer up these programmers, the deputy secretary general even found some beautiful women to come here, one by one, and let these beautiful women work with these programmers to cheer them up.
These are not women in some industries, but real models and high-end products.
The under secretary general even promised that whoever could finish the task ahead of time could spend the rest of the night with these beautiful models in the rest room.
It can be seen that the ability of the deputy secretary general is indeed amazing, and Microsoft is bound to win this project. Otherwise, it is impossible for Microsoft executives to agree to such an exaggeration.
This makes Tony even hesitate. Is it true that the under secretary general is a strong man who can complete the task?
Later, Tony got an order from Bill Gates to inspect the progress of the project team every day. Tony found that the under secretary general was too hard.
Although the Deputy Secretary General's confidence is very sufficient and the strength of this team is indeed very strong, various problems continue to emerge in the process of actual research and development. The fact is much more difficult than he thought, otherwise he will not toss out the crooked trick of inviting beautiful female models to motivate programmers in the end.
As a result, on August 25, the deputy secretary general said that in mid August, the website still couldn't operate normally. Fortunately, Bill Gates had been prepared for this. He didn't scold too much, but gave encouragement to his superiors.
However, in the market, it was obvious that Microsoft's box game online store was about to jump tickets. It was not easy for the stock price to rise back a little and began to fall again. Just when the shareholders were about to get angry, the Deputy Secretary General finally announced that the website had been successfully developed.
Bill Gates took a look. It was August 30, 2000, just in time for the tail of August.
Well, who can say that August 30 is not mid August? There's another August 31!
If the time is barely caught up, the negotiation with game developers is not so qualified.
According to the future described by the Deputy Secretary General in the plan, they can win over a large number of new works to be listed by game companies and become the trump card of box game online store.
So while directing the construction of the website, the deputy secretary general also directed Microsoft's people to continue negotiations with various game companies.
The deputy secretary general is well aware of the truth that milk is mother. First, he continues to draw big cakes for these game companies. Isn't the steam game store giving up to 70% of the share?
We give 90% and only 10% for ourselves!
In the view of the deputy secretary general, although the proportion is very exaggerated, it is not infeasible. First of all, Microsoft does not expect the box game store to make money. They hope to use the box game to stabilize the stock price, so it is the best result to make the box game online store listed and usher in an explosive game lineup as far as possible. Let's talk about making money later..
Therefore, there is a problem with the ratio of 1:9, and the deputy secretary general, or the entire senior management of Microsoft, feel that even if the ratio is only 1:9, the game store can make money.
After all, there is only one website in the whole store, which does not need the cost of burning CDs before. Franchisees can also remove them all. At most, the rest needs some logistics costs, so the cost of the store will be compressed to a very terrible level.
Even if the share is only 10%, it can make a lot of money. After all, 10% of 10 billion is also $1 billion!
Not to mention, in the case of this 9-component ratio, many game companies are really excited and have promised to let new works cooperate with box game stores. Anyway, if it doesn't go well, it's not a problem to sign a contract with steam games in the future.
The negotiations have been going well here so far.
But when the 30th was approaching and all the Games were going to be on the shelves, the deputy secretary general found that 90% of the signed games were still under development and could not be sold in the game store.
According to the final statistics, in addition to Nintendo games, there are only more than 200 additional games that can be put on the shelves as commodities, which is no longer the same level as the nearly 6000 games in the steam game store.
It must be said here. Anyone who invites an insider in the game industry will understand how unreliable it is to sign contracts with these games for sale. After all, all game companies are God like companies if they don't skip tickets. It's a daydream to expect their unsold games to go to stores in a short time.
In desperation, the deputy secretary general could only work hard to negotiate with some small game companies that had not signed a contract with Daqian, and somehow signed some old games in their hands, barely allowing the opening of the box game store to have the scale of 800 games.
Just when the Deputy Secretary felt that he could finally catch his breath, bad news came from the program. A huge bug was found on the website. This bug is very serious and must be repaired. Therefore, the original date of August 30 can only be postponed to August 31.
After all, the middle of August turned into late August. The Deputy Secretary General looked at himself in the mirror and vomited a piece of scalp. He could only cry sadly.
"I'm too difficult..."
