Dream Game Company, in a large conference room.
Xu Zhi stood on the stage. Below the stage sat more than 20 middle-level and upper-level managers and leaders. Wang Kewen, the director of research and development was staring at the table. Ding Xiaomei, the director of operations was talking to He Wei, the director of planning.
Around the table also stood Huang Meng, the director of finance, and Zheng Quan, the marketing director.
Looking at the newly appointed president, they had stiff expressions on their faces, as if they were waiting to see a joke. After all, what they were most afraid of was having a random leader coming out of nowhere.
Xu Zhi could tell what everyone was thinking with just one glance.
He did not introduce himself. Instead, he said, “I know. Everyone is waiting to see me make a fool of myself. You are all waiting for me to mess things up and for me to withdraw from my position as the president of this company with my tail between my legs.”
At these words, the leaders did not dare to meet Xu Zhi’s gaze.
“I will say this… Since Zishu has entrusted me with the management of the company, I must be able to shoulder this responsibility. I hereby declare that I will not back down! I want to make the Dream Game Company a force to be reckoned with.”
After saying this, a few chuckles came from below the stage. However, Xu Zhi did not care. He did not expect others to accept him just because of what he said. He would prove himself with his results.
The best part was yet to come.
Xu Zhi was the leader of the gaming company, Tengda, in his previous life. He had his style of conducting meetings. He would not speak in riddles with his subordinates and would not deliberately hide anything. He liked to be straightforward.
Here, in Dream Game Company, it was no exception.
“As for this meeting today, I am not here to get acquainted with everyone! I am not here to discuss anything with everyone. I am here to announce something to everyone.”
After hearing Xu Zhi’s words, everyone below the stage looked at each other in dismay. They did not know what Xu Zhi was planning.
“I’m announcing that the company will stop research and development for Real Battlefield 2 immediately!”
“What?”
Wang Kewen, who was in charge of this project, suddenly stood up.
Although the others were still sitting in their seats, they all had shocked expressions on their faces.
“President Xu, you’re not joking with us, right?” Zheng Quan said in disbelief.
Xu Zhi did not say anything at this time. Instead, he looked at Wang Kewen, whose face was full of anger.
“President Xu,” Wang Kewen said with an angry expression, “it’s just your first day in office, and you’re making such a rash decision. Let me ask you, do you actually know the company? Do you know what this game represents to our company?”
“That’s right, President Xu. This is not you use your power as the company’s president,” He Wei also stood up and said.
Xu Zhi did not respond. Seeing this, Wang Kewen became more confident.
He looked at Xu Zhi and said, “President Xu, we absolutely can not stop developing this game. Our R&D department is already more than halfway through the development of this game. We are expected to be able to launch the open beta early next year. Moreover, I’m afraid that you do not know that the company has already invested nearly 100 million yuan in this game. If we were to follow your order and stop development, it will be a great loss to the company. Our company’s revenue is declining, and we urgently need this game to launch. Although President Qin made the decision to hand the company over to you, I personally suggest that you act carefully. It’s best to discuss everything with President Qin.”
Xu Zhi nodded and replied with a pleasant expression, “I understand what you’re saying, but I just said that I’m here to announce it. I’m not here to discuss it with everyone!”
“Everyone, listen to me. I’m definitely not fooling around, and I’m not joking with you. In my opinion, even if we invest another 100 million into this game, we won’t be able to get a good revenue out of it if we rush to launch it at the beginning of next year. On the contrary, I think that stopping the losses is the most beneficial direction for the company.”
Xu Zhi was not an unreasonable person, he explained the rationale behind his decision.
After Xu Zhi finished speaking, Wang Kewen slowly rose from his seat again.
“President Xu, do you have any reason for saying all this? Why can’t Real Battlefield 2 become popular? Real Battlefield 1 brought in 100 million yuan every month back then. With this result as the foundation, I think Real Battlefield 2’s performance will be good.”
“It brought in 100 million yuan every month back then? I ask you now, how many months did it bring in 100 million yuan?” Xu Zhi asked.
Wang Kewen did not say anything. Xu Zhi pointed to Ding Xiaomei. “You tell me.”
“Only one month,” Ding Xiaomei said with some embarrassment.
“It seems that everyone knows. If I remembered correctly, this game’s second month’s revenue was 60 million yuan. The third month’s revenue was 30 million yuan. This year’s revenue was only 3 million yuan. I’m afraid that everyone knows better than me. Is this a good game? Would a good game have its revenue halved in the second month? In less than a year, would the revenue drop this much? The company is relying on this game to carry it through the difficult times?”
“President Xu, this is precisely why we want to develop Real Battlefield 2. This time, the graphics quality has improved a lot compared to the Real Battlefield 1. In addition, we have added more gun accessories and more diverse character data. We will definitely be able to succeed this time. Moreover, if we really stop the development of Real Battlefield 2, we don’t have any other new plans or proposals,” Wang Kewen said.
“So, you think that Real Battlefield 1’s graphics were not realistic enough, and that’s why the game failed?” Xu Zhi asked curiously.
“Isn’t that so?”
After Wang Kewen said this, he turned in a circle, looking at the people around him. They did not say anything and silently agreed.
Xu Zhi shook his head and took out the proposal for Jumping the Line of Fire. He placed it on the table and started to ask.
“Wang Kewen, let me ask you. If there was a game that only had 30% of the graphics quality of Real Battlefield 1, and other than the character’s HP, there were no other attributes. Guns could not be added with accessories, and it was even extremely unbalanced. However, this game only needed 10 million to be developed, and it would not take more than a month to be developed. Similarly, it could earn over 100 million a month. Do you think it’s possible to have this game?”
“Absolutely not!” As soon as Xu Zhi finished speaking, Wang Kewen replied firmly.
“Take a look.” Xu Zhi handed the proposal to Wang Kewen.
“What’s this?”
“Didn’t you say that we don’t have any proposals for new games? This is my new game proposal.”
After hearing this, Wang Kewen flipped open the proposal and started reading it. He Wei also went over to have a look.
Not long after, the corner of He Wei’s mouth curled up slightly.
After reading a few more pages, He Wei looked at Xu Zhi and said as if he could wait to expose him.
“President Xu, I think you found this proposal from President Qin’s file cabinet. To be honest, I’ve already read this proposal a year ago. This proposal doesn’t work at all. Moreover, it is similar to another from ten years ago. It only slightly improves the quality of the graphics and adds an internet connectivity function. The quality of the graphics is completely different from Real Battlefield 1… You must have spent a lot of time to find this proposal.”
“Oh, you’ve seen it before. That’s even better. However, don’t jump to conclusions. I added something new on the last page of the proposal. You should take a look,” Xu Zhi said.
When Xu Zhi flipped through the proposal earlier, he also added some ideas from his past life. Although there were certain risks, it could guarantee faster money from a game like this..

“President Xu, you!” Wang Kewen widened his eyes and looked like he was about to pounce, but he was pulled back to his seat by the person behind him.“Everyone, listen to me. I’m definitely not fooling around, and I’m not joking with you. In my opinion, even if we invest another 100 million into this game, we won’t be able to get a good revenue out of it if we rush to launch it at the beginning of next year.
