Chapter 191 President Lu takes office
Xue Ming's game appeared so suddenly that he had to interrupt all the arrangements Chu Yuanxi had on the Baren side.
Logically speaking, Xue Ming had to accept Chu Yuanxi's modification plan or castration plan, and he had to change it for a while, but Chu Yuanxi's working habits were like this. He must do what he wanted to do, leaving time to tolerate mistakes.
Taking football cloud games as the second punch of Baren VR strategy is actually a very complicated thing. This is a "cloud vr game". Although it is very convenient to go to the well-off block cloud, it still needs to do a complete set of architectures and construction like a normal cloud game service provider.
If you were just an agent for a game, Chu Yuanxi would never make such a choice, because there were too many things to do and too much money to spend. It would be better to leave it to a serious cloud game service provider. For example, it would be a good choice.
Cloud games are a game that does not require users to download a large amount of resources to the local area, and it also does not require user equipment computing power. It means that before the game data stream reaches users, it has to eat a lot of technology in the cloud infrastructure.
This means that not only the smoothness of the picture is not at all careless, but it is also best to achieve multi-terminal coverage, at least VR, and mobile phones and TVs must be compatible. Even Xue Ming, an unnamed football game, cannot only provide a VR viewing mode, and it is also very good to play on TV, and it can also allow users to "watch the ball in the lawn" and achieve an experience that cannot be given in football broadcasts.
In this case, there are really a lot of R&D work that Baren and Zhenniu Technology need to do together, many of which are stupid jobs such as adaptation and optimization.
Chu Yuanxi has to lead more than this, but also coordinate the cooperation between Baren and Xiaokang. Although both companies are under his control and have been working together, they are different companies and have different performance processes after all. This project is regarded as the coupling point between the two companies. It cannot be just the project is powerful. The two companies need to work together first.
However, the cooperation between Baren and Xiaokang is definitely a huge advantage, because cloud gaming not only requires reasonable and stable server architecture, but also the most important thing is the edge computing power with a high density distribution across the country.
This is precisely the special requirement of cloud computing, which can intelligently allocate the best computing nodes and computing power to minimize players' network needs.
In other words, although cloud games can only become popular in the 5g era, those who make cloud games must consider the lack of network functionality of players, so that high-quality games can do their best to adapt to lower network thresholds.
Therefore, with the blessing of Xiaokang Block Cloud, the requirement of a large amount of edge computing power was first met, crossing the most difficult threshold for cloud game service providers to cross. In order to cross this threshold, Zhayi has spent no idea how much money it has spent to enter the cloud game track. Among the B-end companies that have purchased computing power from Xiaokang recently, cloud game labels also account for a certain proportion.
This is also the reason why Chu Yuanxi, who personally designed this health coin system in the original world, never felt that computing power would worry about sales. Even if he was worried, he was worried about the education market stage. After the initial stage, he built trust and ensured quality and reputation, he would never worry about selling.
It can be said that Xiaokang is becoming more and more like an Internet company. Internet companies, the number and activity of users are the lifeline. What Xiaokang’s blockchain cloud needs most is the number and activity of users, so convenience stores have gradually become the underlying support and gradually become a trend and consensus within the company...
In order to deploy related work as soon as possible, Chu Yuanxi did not even attend the Baren Annual Meeting. As a result, after the annual meeting ended on Friday night, a large number of interpretive articles suddenly appeared on the Internet, speculating whether the Baren Group would have major personnel changes.
In fact, this change is also reasonable. The chairman himself serves as the president and CEO are not the norm for large companies. It is normal for three executives to perform their duties. The chairman is responsible for determining the strategy, CEO executes the strategy, the two work together to do financing, and the president focuses on the product. This is a harmonious relationship. Otherwise, why is CEO called the CEO? The execution of the company strategy.
Of course, this is not the case. The chairman of my big A-share listed company has not only served as the CEO and the president, but also serves as the secretary of the board. The exchange can't stop him from sending letters to follow...
Chu Yuanxi actually had the intention of resigning CEO or the president, but he did not plan to resign from the annual meeting as the node as explained by the outside world. When he saw the commentator article suddenly appeared, he posted a message on WeChat Moments overnight. He just entrusted Uncle Sheng to host the annual meeting because he was busy. Unexpectedly, as a new company, he was over-interpreted.
Although Zhu Chi is far more than Uncle Sheng in terms of stocks, from the perspective of being respectful and convincing, Uncle Sheng is definitely ahead of Zhu Chi. However, Uncle Sheng is suitable for being an elder but not as the leader. How many people who interpret these interpretations from the outside world do not understand Baren?
However, these interpretations also reminded Chu Yuanxi. Some of them analyzed it quite reasonable, saying that if Chu Yuanxi had been not given up on three powers, it might be regarded as poor corporate governance by the relevant departments. It is already an open secret for Baren Group to have a listing plan, and it is necessary to enter the GEM. Under the registration system, the applicants guarantee the authenticity of their financial data is the top priority. The Issuance and Audit Committee will definitely attach great importance to corporate governance to ensure that the interests of small and medium-sized investors can be effectively protected.
This is an article from the Baren employee who transferred to the work group, and then said to Rainbow Fart: I have never thought that there would be such a thing. Chu finally made no choice but to do it!
I immediately copied and pasted it: Chu finally made no choice, I am not as good as it is!
Chu Yuanxi saw that he was quite literary and Zou, so he wanted to join in the fun, so he inserted a force: This is all about your dear me!
Unexpectedly, there were a lot of things below: I dare not take credit for you!
Chu Yuanxi looked at it for a while and found that there was no Uncle Voice inside. I don’t know if it was because the annual meeting ended, or if he really had some ideas?
In fact, Chu Yuanxi planned to give the president to Lu Yu, and he still served as the CEO. It is actually normal for the chairman and CEO. The famous Tesla is Elon Musk and CEO. It was only after he imitated Zhou Youwang and played the princes and teased the Nasdaq Exchange and investors with false privatization, he was ordered to remove the position of chairman and only retained the CEO.
If Uncle Sheng was replaced by someone else, Chu Yuanxi would describe how busy the president’s work was and was thankless. He ate grass and milked, saying that he was listening to reports from various product lines and vice presidents. In fact, all products had to be arrested.
In this way, Uncle Sheng will probably retreat when he sees the difficulties.
Or maybe Sandao talked to Uncle Sheng about the development of the company and asked him to recommend a candidate for the president. Uncle Sheng was embarrassed to recommend himself when Lu Yu existed, right? He must be clear about it. Lu Yu is more suitable for him to look at products as a president.
But because that was Uncle Sheng, Chu Yuanxi didn't plan to play with such false things.
The next day was Saturday. According to the practice of Baren and Xiaokang, all senior executives must go to the company on Saturday as a normal working day. Chu Yuanxi directly found Uncle Sheng and pulled him into the dark room and said, "Uncle, the outside world is so motivated. I want to give up the president of Baren, and I won't focus on the product in the future."
Uncle Sheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He must have no idea what the president does three years ago. Although he read a lot of articles from the president, he even felt like he tried to write a book.
After these three years of hard work, I finally realized that the president is not a particularly high-end position, nor is he the leader of a company. Although it is indeed very important, the importance is reflected in the workload, which requires ability, not power. What is more so is the title of vice president. In Silicon Valley, any technology company will almost give any employee who has served for five years a title of vice president.
In short, this is a concept that has been distorted by online writing. Now Chu Yuanxi said that he wanted to give the president out, but Uncle Shengxin said that he wanted to give it to me? This is very forced. He is talented and has little knowledge and has little virtue in his youth. However, oh, everything is for the future of the company, so it will be difficult for him...
Chu Yuanxi continued, "I think I can hand over this burden to Lu Yu and let him take on greater responsibilities."
"Uh..." Uncle Sheng had to nod very reluctantly, but turned into a very stiff nod. I would feel forced to give me a good thing, but if you don't give me that, it wouldn't mean that! Uncle Sheng had to use this to hide his loss.
Chu Yuanxi said: "Then Baren Group will propose iPo recently. We have to set up a board of directors first and set up 7 board seats first, and you must definitely get there."
"A few of us are directors?"
"No, no, the co-founder is not necessarily a director, and the director does not depend entirely on the number of shares. As a director, you must play a very important strategic role and be able to put forward valuable opinions to assist the chairman in building and adjusting the strategic direction.
I think Jiaotu is not suitable for joining the board of directors, and Lu Yu is not suitable. Zhu Chi, you, me, Yuan Jing and Zhao Jie, I have to find two independent directors, who have nothing to do with the company. One of them is Gu Hongru from Haiyi Fund, and the other hopes that Liang Kenian will find a college-type one."
Regarding the establishment of the board of directors and the components and sources of independent directors, the main purpose is to comply with the regulations of the relevant departments. However, when Uncle Sheng saw that Yang Yuanmei had not obtained a seat on the board of directors, he immediately felt that this seat was still a bit valuable.
"Why is Zhao Jie the last candidate for non-independent director? I think Yang Jiangang is more suitable than Zhao Jie?"
"But to outsiders, shouldn't it be the most suitable thing for Zhao Jie?" Chu Yuanxi said that Yang Jiangang may change his mind, how could he be a director?
Uncle Sheng followed Chu Yuanxi's statement and could understand it. In the process of the gradual rise of Baren Group, there is no doubt that Baren Games, a subsidiary, was responsible for a strong contribution. Although Zhao Jie was just a main course of the game project team before Baren Entertainment changed to the group system, he became the manager of Baren Games after the group system was reorganized. In the eyes of outsiders, he was indeed an extremely critical person to the company.
On the contrary, Yang Jiangang, no matter who looks at it, is an incubator entrepreneur. His previous experience of being the principal and planning of the project team of "Come to Troubled Times" was relatively unpresent. Therefore, even if this incubator is relatively successful, it is still difficult to remove the label of incubation and entrepreneurship. It is a bit worse than that of ordinary entrepreneurs who start from scratch, let alone compared to Zhao Jie.
When it comes to qualifications, Yang Jiangang, Zhao Jie and even Wenhui are all qualified, but it seems that Chu Yuanxi's choice of Zhao Jie is indeed more reasonable.
"We will start handling this matter after Liang Kenian gives me a reply, and then submit an IPO application when the auditor comes up with his opinion."
In fact, if Chu Yuanxi is really anxious to do iPo, there is no need to wait until 2021. The official establishment of Baren Entertainment can be considered to be January 19, 2018. The founders gathered and confirmed their rights, but it was a very early time to register this company as a shell company. It was a company that Chu Yuanxi registered to help his customers, that is, the super RMB warriors in the game, when he was a business owner in Pengfei.
Therefore, if you are really eager for quick success and instant benefits, you can start to handle it last year, but this will inevitably be criticized by others and even by relevant departments. It is not that you are hungry and eat, so it is safer to follow the steps.
This step-by-step personnel choice certainly made Lu Yu very happy. In the future, he will be called "General Lu". However, Chu Yuanxi immediately assigned his first task after becoming president, which was to solve the copyright issue of football games. Therefore, Lu Yu was immediately unhappy. This was definitely a harsh job and a very reflective of his ability.
In fact, after Xue Ming returned, he closed the door and studied the copyright issue. He found that the simplest solution was to not use existing players and instead build some fictional characters. Isn’t there also many reincarnations of stars in cm? As a young player, it is the fun of running a club to set up templates, let scouts explore, and then cultivate them into stars.
However, even Xue Ming's employees reminded him not to discuss this plan with Chu Yuanxi. Without a star player, he can't even remember who he is. He will not feel immersive at all, and it will be difficult to make money. Chu will definitely mock him!
This is the same difference between using an original IP to make a mobile game or using a big IP to make a mobile game. Using Naruto, Dragon Ball and other IPs to develop mobile games, you can make a reservation for 10 million before development, as long as it is genuine.
Soon, an important node came, that is, on January 13, the Oscar nomination was announced last night, the 12th US time. Chu Yuanxi finally let go of his heart, and "Enemy of Rome" is indeed on the list!
Just be in the list, just be in the list! Now Chu Yuanxi's mentality is like a little girl waiting to date a scumbag, and she is afraid that it won't come, and she is afraid that it will do whatever she wants.
If you really go crazy suddenly and make any big news, the complex relationship between the two countries may not be a good thing. However, if you miss the nomination, Chu Yuanxi will be blind and all the hype plans have to be pushed back. It is absolutely unbearable to do this at just one month before "I'm convinced" is released.
It's best to be ordinary.
Of course, this "unusual" is the attribution given by Chu Yuanxi himself, and all major mainstream communities in China have already exploded!
You should know that the production cost of "Enemy of Rome" is only $15 million. This is the more expensive animation era, even in Hollywood, it is still at the beggar level. Compared with "Enemy of Rome" produced by Peak Visual Effects, it is called high cost, but compared with animations that are often hundreds of millions of dollars, it is really my brother.
Therefore, it cannot be ranked by relying on image quality. It does not mean that DreamWorks' "Enemy of Rome" is shoddy and has poor quality. It also has very clever shots that achieve advanced effects at low cost, but there is no "funding burns" scene.
What is the burning of funds? A brief comparison is that Disney's 1994 "The Lion King" is called the peak of 2D animation, with a production cost of $45 million.
However, this comparison itself is not suitable, because it will definitely not cost 45 million to be a version of the Lion King with today's technology, and the picture quality is even more prominent. But even so, it can be seen that the cost of "Enemy of Rome" is low.
Why was the Oscar nominated? Obviously it was because of the content!
Before Baren started to set the pace, a lot of tap water began to appear on the quasi-hu and quasi-balanum, with hot lists one after another. However, this time, Baren's employees were no longer curious. Even the release of the animation and the expected box office can spark a certain amount of popularity in China, let alone the Oscar nomination.
It is precisely because of the popularity a few days ago that Baren can hype more carefully. For example, the first choice for this hype is B station, which has been prepared for a lot of editing, funny dubbing and "Erchuang Video" to be released. In fact, some videos on B station are also submitted by other grandma masters overnight, but what makes them feel that the rogue is that the movie videos used by Baren are so high-definition...
Some grandmasters couldn't help but run to the Baren's comment area and howled: It's a foul! This is a movie just launched in Hollywood, where can we get the high-definition video source file?
Then someone immediately gave him a popular science: Brother, stop calling me, this is a film that someone invested 20% of the time...
Some people also say: As domestic giants invest in Hollywood movies more and more, this situation may become the norm in the future. It’s just that this company is relatively useless, and other giants will not personally compete for this traffic with us. Only Baren Entertainment has plucked their hair and eaten it. They have always been like this...
Chu Yuanxi was quite sad when he read this comment. Why did the self-media people suffer for being a self-media people? This was originally a film we invested in. It is natural for us to eat it. You are the ones who eat it for free!
Chapter completed!
