Mustin and Karlon looked at each other and didn't understand what Bruce meant. However, they didn't ask any more, and they knew what was going on when they got to the headquarters.
In the past few days, the general managers and deputy general managers of the various branches of Tianqi Group have arrived in J City one after another. Chen Qingshan and Wei Dongshuo also grasped the news, and heaved a sigh of relief.
For two consecutive years, the annual meeting was not held in City J. Wei Dongshuo and Chen Qingshan were both worried about Xu Ping'an moving the headquarters. Now it seems that Xu Ping'an has no intention of moving the headquarters in a short time.
Feng Xia has already started to work, and Tianqi Group’s headquarters has been cleaned several times, especially the large conference room, which is cleaned once a day. The windows are very bright, and there is a circle of green plants around.
This year’s annual meeting is quite special, with a special allocation of funds for a major cleaning of the exterior of all buildings, and all assets belonging to Tianqi Group have been externally cleaned.
Early that morning, less than nine o'clock in the morning, the vehicles dispatched by the administrative department went to various hotels to pick up the people who came to the meeting, and went straight to the headquarters of Tianqi Group, the all-gen Jihao hydrogen car.
At 9:40, the meeting officially began, and Xu Ping'an began to listen to reports from the general managers of each branch, commenting on a few words from time to time, pointing to the core of the problem.
Both Mustin and Karlon were really shocked. Now they fully understand what Bruce meant. The profitability of the various branches of the Apocalypse Group is so terrible.
Blizzard’s annual profit is only one billion US dollars. Within the Tianqi Group, it is completely at the bottom of the existence. The original pride in their hearts has been blown away, and there is more pressure on them.
Tianqi Group also has low-profit companies, but if you include its inherent assets, it is definitely not small, and the overall size of the company is not inferior to Blizzard.
Of course, there are also loss-making companies, but both of them know that these companies' losses are acceptable. For technology companies like this, it is impossible not to lose money.
However, once a breakthrough produces a major achievement, it instantly brings tens of billions of euros in profits to the group.
What makes them even more incredible is that the Tianqi Group's research and development expenses last year reached 35 billion euros. What concept is this, the two people are very shocked.
Now, I really feel the strength of Tianqi Group, which is really stronger than the outside world announced.
At twelve o'clock, the meeting was temporarily adjourned and the meal started. After a two-hour break after the meal, the meeting continued at 2:30. Today, only the participants were eating in the cafeteria of the headquarters, and the rest will find another place to eat today.
After the meal, Xu Ping An took a rest in his office and continued the meeting in the afternoon. After everyone reported, Xu Ping An began to deploy promotions.
If you have any difficulties, let me talk about it now. If there are no problems, I need to implement it immediately after the meeting. Time is very tight.
Towards the end of the meeting, Mustin and Karlon learned about the Apocalypse Group's year-end awards. The two left with their eyes shining. Now they understand why the general managers of those branches are so hard.
Determine how much your year-end bonus is based on the profits you turned over to the headquarters. The two are both excited and uncomfortable. They are happy to see a large amount of money, but the uncomfortable is that this money is not so easy to take.
As a branch company, the finance must retain one billion euros of self-retained funds. After reaching this standard, you can turn in profits and receive the year-end bonus.
At the end of the meeting, there will be a dinner. You can eat and drink. You will return to the various branches tomorrow. If you have something to do, you can stay a few more days to communicate with Xu Ping An, and return directly if you are okay.
Mustin and Karlon were informed at the dinner party that they would go to Xu Ping'an's villa tomorrow afternoon. Xu Ping'an had something to explain to them. The two controlled their drinking and did not drink much.
Back at the hotel, the two ran for two cups of coffee and talked in the room, without any sense of relaxation.
"We are going to practice Celestial Language. Only half a year, God, I don't know if I can learn it," Mastin said in pain.
Karlon nodded and said, "This is normal. If I don't understand what the subordinates say, I will definitely give mandatory orders. After I return, I plan to hire a Chinese teacher, and I must learn the Chinese language."
Justin looked at Karlon and felt his determination "You have confidence."
"I am not confident, Mastin, do you feel the strength of Tianqi Group"
"Seriously, I really felt it. I originally thought that we would earn a net profit of more than one billion yuan a year, but compared with Tianqi Group, we are the bottom of the existence."
"In the end, the development of a company has to fight for your financial strength. That company has this kind of strength. Frankly speaking, if some Wall Street companies start a business war with Tianqi Group, I am not optimistic about them."
"In the past, I thought Wall Street companies were the representatives of strong capital. Now it seems that technology manufacturing companies like Tianqi Group are the representatives of strong capital."
"The net profit of Poseidon's one year is as high as 20 billion euros. Our ten-year net profit is not as good as that of others in a year. To be honest, I was deeply shocked. I feel that I am from the country." Karlon said. Said with a serious expression.
"Yes, I originally thought that even if we were acquired by Apocalypse Group, in terms of games, Blizzard is the leader of the game category. As a result, reality gave me a slap in the face."
"The profit of the Tianchao division of Apocalypse Games is more than ours. It is incredible. The profit of the French game division is only 600 million less than ours."
"But their growth rate is really scary. The French Apocalypse game company has only been established for a few years, and it has this kind of profit and growth rate. It should not be underestimated."
"Also, their ability to innovate far surpasses us. I must increase my strength a little bit. I must give Blizzard a new lease of life. I must return to the position of the leader of the game industry," Mastin said firmly.
The two were really stimulated and began to seriously discuss the development of Apocalypse Blizzard Entertainment. They were very united. This was unexpected by Xu Ping An.
After having lunch at noon the next day, the two drove to Xu Pingan’s villa. Xu Pingan had just eaten. He greeted the two of them to talk in the study and chatted over tea and asked them about their work arrangements for this year.
With the detailed discussion between the two of them last night, Xu Ping'an was very satisfied with the answer. He deserves to be a senior talent, but it is different.
"Carlon, I'm very longing for the blockbuster filmed this year, don't let me down" Xu Ping An said with a smile.
"The president can rest assured that we must carefully craft the script, and carefully shoot this film regardless of cost, to create the World of Warcraft series," Karlon said with confidence.
Xu Ping'an nodded. Karlon's level can still be assured. An old producer, familiar with everything in Hollywood, is an insider with rich connections.
"Marstin, rest assured that bold reforms, I support you, last year's profit you only have to allocate, the company allocated 3 billion to Blizzard Film and Television to let Karlon switch to use"
"If you don't have enough funds, you can apply. Headquarters will support you. I want to see a real change. Everything is player-centric. Blizzard should return to the right path. Do you understand?" Xu Pingan said seriously.
Mastin nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the president, I will start the next step of reform immediately after I go back, and adjust each department step by step to maintain stability."
"The previous ills must be eliminated and the player's interaction in the game should be increased"
"In addition, I plan to bring back the few people who left before. They can't manage them, but they are really talented in making games."
"The past few years have not gone smoothly for them outside. I believe they will cherish their return this time and maintain the continuity and sustainability of World of Warcraft...".
"Do it according to your ideas, and the headquarters will support you" Xu Ping'an said directly, and both of them felt at ease.
The conversation between the three people continued until dinner, and they communicated in many aspects. The notebook in front of the two of them recorded more than twenty pages.
After dinner, the two returned to the hotel to rest. Tomorrow, they can fly directly back to the US branch.
Outside, the various branches of Tianqi Group have begun to get busy, and they have comprehensively checked the dealer's inventory. The dealers who received the news were relieved and understood that this is based on your inventory.
The iron cock of Tianqi Group finally started to engage in sales promotion, it was not easy.
The various branches of the celestial dynasty have also begun to take action, and a large number of personnel have begun to go to various places to check inventory in preparation for the big promotion that will be launched after the year.
The lower-level employees don't know, but the senior-level employees know very well that in the next year, Tianqi Group's actions will be very big and it will definitely have an impact on the world economy.
In the next two days, Xu Ping'an communicated with the general managers of many branches, explaining their doubts, and returning to the station one after another.
Tianqi Group’s year-end awards have also begun to be issued. All employees are excited. Tianchao’s companies have begun to arrange purchases and welfare arrangements for holidays.
On this day, when Xu Ping'an was planning to start the last day of work, Chen Qingshan came, and Xu Ping'an greeted Chen Qingshan to sit down and drink tea.
Chen Qingshan asked straightforwardly, "What does it mean that your game company's voice control system is not authorized to the outside world, do you really intend to completely collapse the domestic game industry?"
"It's up to them to ask themselves. I was weak and deceived by my kindness, waiting for you to come forward and force me to lower the price."
"In that case, it's better to let them disappear. Anyway, they are plagiarism or plagiarism. Keeping them is also a scourge. If they die, they will walk the way for the sky," Xu Ping'an said rudely.
"Ping An, you have to consider those employees. This is a problem involving millions of people's jobs, so you can't help but do nothing," Chen Qingshan said, looking at Xu Ping'an with a serious face.
