Chapter 294: Chapter 193: The Studio’s Profit Model
Jiangning, four in the afternoon.
Chen Ba t the candidate recomnded by the headhunter at a decently decorated teahouse.
Huang Qing, a very ordinary na.
But a na cannot represent a person’s talents, and this na carries a good aning and is easy to pronounce.
"Hello, President Chen!"
"Hello!"
After shaking hands, the tea artist in a qipao brewed a pot of tea for the two and then left the tearoom.
Chen Ba never liked small talk or beating around the bush, so he straightforwardly asked, "Mr. Huang, have you ever been in contact with the gaming industry before?"
"No!"
Huang Qing shook his head and said, "I’ve worked in internet new dia, but the gaming industry is a first for ."
Lack of experience is a minor issue.
Chen Ba entrusted the headhunter to find managent talent, not professional ga developers, so not having experience in the gaming industry was acceptable.
As long as he has real skills, that’s what counts.
Tianba Studio has developed to its current scale, even creating a AAA ga, it’s no longer a small workshop or team.
Given the need for the next stage of business developnt, the studio requires a "Grand Steward" role.
Initially, this position was reserved for Yang Dong. Dong has been with him for so long, both in terms of seniority and contribution, he deserved the position.
However, Yang Dong himself expressed that he’s just an ordinary programr, capable of handling ga operations and maintenance, but managing a large gaming studio or company might be beyond his ability.
Everyone has their aspirations!
Dong is evidently not proficient in company managent and not particularly interested, while Chen Ba needs to be personally involved in ga developnt, so the studio needs a logistics Grand Steward.
Therefore, since August, Chen Ba has issued a CEO recruitnt ad.
But the candidates who ca for interviews either did not et his expectations or were all talk and no substance; none could et the requirents.
With no other option, Chen Ba had to let the headhunting company take charge, expanding the recruitnt scope nationwide, and no longer limiting to the gaming industry, which is how they found Huang Qing.
Huang Qing is part of the 80s generation, 44 years old this year.
His previous job, interestingly enough, was the general manager of an MCN influencer brokerage company.
Indeed!
His previous responsibilities involved signing and grooming various influencers through short videos and live streaming platforms.
He perford quite well in this job. According to what Chen Ba heard, the MCN company he was with previously boasted many well-known contracted major influencers and strears.
These were all talents he discovered and grood, being part of his work achievents!
"Why do you want to change jobs?"
"The influencer economy won’t last long. From my perspective, this industry will inevitably face a major blow sooner or later." Huang Qing shook his head.
Although his company was flourishing, with rumors of a possible IPO, he remained rational.
The influencer economy has been feasting for nearly ten years, the bubble is about to burst. If he doesn’t withdraw, he fears getting dragged down with the company.
"I see..."
Chen Ba wasn’t very knowledgeable about the influencer economy, so he wasn’t sure about Huang Qing’s judgnt.
But that’s unimportant.
There are countless reasons to change jobs, but at the core, it boils down to four words—"not enough money!"
So asking this was just routine. As long as his answer wasn’t about dreams or passion, it didn’t really make a difference.
"How much do you know about Tianba Studio?"
"I specifically researched it beforehand!"
For Huang Qing to dare apply for the CEO position, he must have done his howork. He analyzed and explained the current state and business plans of Tianba Studio to Chen Ba.
This guy has capability.
Even though he hasn’t really been in contact with the gaming industry, his insights are quite keen. Mobile gas are thriving now while PC gas seem less prosperous.
Huang Qing also made the sa judgnt as Chen Ba: PC gas may be in decline, but they’re not dead!
What does this an?
It generally suggests that while the PC ga market remains sluggish, the most phenonal PC ga in the past fifteen years is still years-old PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
Yet, this market is still vast, and if another phenonal PC ga arises, especially a network ga, it would surely rejuvenate the entire market.
Although it might not return to its golden age, it would at least prove to those doubting PC gas that "the half-starved cal is still bigger than a horse!"
"Oh? Do you think PC gas have a hope of returning to their peak, their golden period in the future?"
"That’s right!"
Huang Qing shared his understanding.
He took out a mobile phone, which Chen Ba glanced at, recognizing it as the latest Apple 17.
"When this phone was released, it had a hyped-up selling point, one could even say a marketing gimmick, that it compares to a gaming console!"
"Still far behind..."
Chen Ba shook his head, showing disdain for the statent.
A couple of years ago, so mobile manufacturers had already claid you could play AAA gas smoothly on phones.
But the trick was understood only by those in the know, where you could only play certain "specially customized" gas for those phones.
Even so.
Playing such AAA gas on a mobile leads to overheating and unstable fra rates, far from a gaming console experience!
"It’s not too far off."
Huang Qing smiled after putting away his phone, "Currently, it’s certainly not as good as gaming consoles, but what about in the future? With the rapid iteration of mobile technology, catching up or even surpassing PC performance might not be realistic, but reaching a certain level, perhaps?"
