Zhang Tianxing's words stunned everyone. What kind of tactic was this? They had never heard of it.
Could this work? Building their own game store and directly listing cheat functions within it.
No one had ever heard of such a thing. Was this young boss Zhang out of his mind for money?
Everyone looked at Zhang Tianxing with suspicion.
Unfortunately, Zhang Tianxing didn't give them a chance to object. "Implement what I've assigned as quickly as possible. We need to crack down on cheats, purify the game environment, and protect the ecological balance of the game."
Gao Ningning nodded repeatedly. Young Boss Zhang's words were excellent, but she was a bit worried.
The proposals from young Boss Zhang were all paths never before trodden. Could these paths be walked? Would they be effective? No one was sure.
After much deliberation, Gao Ningning gritted her teeth. "We'll follow young Boss Zhang's lead. It's precisely young Boss Zhang's foresight that has brought our company to where it is today. Everyone, get your act together and put in your absolute best effort. We only have one week left before the company goes bankrupt!"
The crowd responded in unison: "Understood, we guarantee the mission will be completed!"
"I don't hear you," Zhang Tianxing said, displeased. "You all sound so weak, lacking spirit."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, everyone straightened their chests and shouted loudly: "We guarantee the mission will be completed!"
Spirits soaring like the clouds, morale was usable!
Zhang Tianxing nodded with satisfaction. A timid soldier leads to a timid army, and a timid general leads to a timid force. He would soon be going abroad for an exchange program, and this company couldn't stand firm without some strong individuals.
Gao Ningning, pleasing to the eye and technically proficient, wasn't a suitable management talent. If necessary, Guo Jiajia could be transferred over. Then the two companies could be merged into one, with two names but one team.
Zhang Tianxing realized he had too many things to worry about. It seemed he had too few capable subordinates, lacking true generals.
Without generals in Shu, Liao Hua has to lead the vanguard. This was exactly how Zhang Tianxing felt. His subordinates hadn't matured yet. Where had all the talented people from the 20th century gone?
Why did others start businesses with a legendary eighteen arhats or five tiger generals?
He, however, had started alone. Not even a childhood sweetheart had shown up. Fortunately, he had fond memories of the campus belle from his school days.
A person's destiny differed from another's; everyone had their own path.
Perhaps it wasn't time for him to recruit heavily. Actually, he didn't have that few people under him. Zhang Tianxing quickly surveyed his staff; he still had more than ten usable individuals. It seemed he wasn't doing too badly.
...
"Sister Ning, do you think young Boss Zhang's proposal is reliable? I'm a little uneasy."
"Exactly. I've never heard of such an operation. Competing with cheats for market share—it would be a joke if it got out. The method is too ugly."
"There's no other way. He's the boss, and we're just the grunts."
As everyone was complaining, Gao Ningning, usually smiling, wore a very grim expression.
Gao Ningning pointed at each person one by one: "Do you know what you're saying? If you have any better ideas, propose them. Don't you realize how much you could earn at other companies with your current skills and abilities, compared to what you earn here? What kind of learning opportunities has our company provided you?"
"You all have friends and classmates. I want you to ask yourselves: do the words you're saying do justice to the salary young Boss Zhang is paying you? Does your conscience hurt? Tell me."
"A soldier's duty is to obey orders, and so is an employee's. We must follow the boss's commands. If we're certain the boss's command is wrong, we must provide evidence to prove it."
"Instead of you all bad-mouthing the boss behind his back. My opinion is, if you have objections, voice them directly and focus on doing the tasks young Boss Zhang has assigned."
This speech silenced everyone. After a moment, someone spoke.
"Sister Ning, please don't be angry. We promise to complete the mission. We were just worried the company might be wasting time."
"Yes, we meant no malice."
"We're also thinking for the good of the company!"
Hearing this, Gao Ningning's anger intensified. "If you truly cared for the company, you would complete the assigned tasks with high quality. No one can guarantee that every decision is 100% correct. We must make decisions as we move forward, correct mistakes, and continue to progress if there are none."
None of them had experienced the harshness of the real world, nor understood the struggles of an employee.
"If you don't want to do it, take your money and leave. If we're compatible, we stay; if not, we part ways." Gao Ningning's words left everyone speechless.
Everyone had classmates and relatives. They knew exactly how much their classmates and relatives were paid and how intense their workloads were.
They were just unaccustomed to receiving high-intensity tasks.
Seeing their expressions, Gao Ningning said: "From today onwards, we will abolish the 'iron rice bowl' system. Those who are capable will earn more, and those who work more will earn more. We will no longer implement the previous salary standards."
In essence, if you're talented, you deserve better treatment; if you're a slacker, leave now, as this place isn't for you.
Upon hearing Gao Ningning's words, a few people's eyes lit up.
More work, more pay – this was acceptable. They wanted to work overtime until the company went bankrupt.
This month, they would give it their all, working until they were dizzy. They wanted to see how much the company would really pay them.
Many secretly made up their minds. Young Boss Zhang had assigned a lot of tasks, and now they had a goal. It all depended on whether Sister Ning's promise of "more work, more pay" was reliable.
Everyone began to work busily, and as they worked, they were increasingly astonished.
At first, they thought young Boss Zhang's idea was unreliable, but now they realized it had great potential.
What was most prevalent online now? It was Trojan viruses.
They had all dabbled in software programming and, out of enthusiasm, had written small programs, all of which they had put online without exception.
Legendary game cheats were available for free and for a fee, all downloaded from the internet.
Almost all free cheats contained Trojans, meaning their security was virtually nonexistent.
In such an environment, if the game developers launched their own game store, players wouldn't have to worry about Trojan risks at all. This venture had great promise.
"Now that I think about it carefully, young Boss Zhang's move is brilliant. It directly cuts off the path for cheats. I feel the survival space for cheats has been extremely compressed."
"I think we can optimize the game so that cheats cannot run simultaneously with the game. We can try to manipulate system processes."
"That's a good idea. Let me see if it's feasible. We just need to add incompatible programs to our game files. We don't even need to monitor the players' computers. This idea is very creative, and I need to find a way to implement it!"
