Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Because it is not a listed company, the board of directors, apart from Cai Hao, Dawei, and Luo Yu, consists of senior executives from miHoYo.

Because miHoYo's shareholding structure is very stable, the board of directors usually doesn't have much to do.

However, this board of directors does exist, and most of the senior executives present were members of the board.

David's statement wasn't actually about the equity transfer; rather, he wanted to use the vote to get everyone's opinions.

At this point, some of you might have questions.

Why does Cai Hao need a vote from miHoYo's board of directors to sell his shares?

it's actually really easy.

In most equity companies, restrictions on share transfers are set to protect the interests of all shareholders, and changes in shares exceeding a certain amount require a vote from the board of directors.

Without this rule, sometimes things can get really funny.

For example, the developers of Disco Elysium didn't include this clause in their game descriptions, and as a result, the major shareholder sold the game company without the development team even knowing.

In the end, the three founders of the studio were kicked out of the company.

And the most ridiculous thing is that the person who bought the company was a minority shareholder of Disco Elysium.

The money he used was from the company's accounts.

They used company money to buy the company and ousted the founder.

It has the same flair as the American conscience of yesteryear.

To some extent, he can be considered a genius.

The reason this shady operation was possible was because the company did not impose any restrictions on the transfer of shares.

anyway.

David proposed the vote at this time, actually in order to quickly move past this matter.

This happened suddenly, according to his plan.

Cai Hao was simply grasping at straws in his desperation.

Since Cai Hao insists, let's go through the proper procedures.

He believes that most people still support him.

"Okay, let's vote by raising our hands."

Cai Hao nodded as well.

Now that both sides have stated their views, it is indeed necessary for everyone to express their opinions; otherwise, the subsequent work cannot proceed.

Voting began, and Cai Hao raised his hand first, which was normal, since he was the one who proposed the idea.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Yu raised his hand.

This was within Dawei's expectations, since Luo Yu had just said he wanted to adopt the Spark mode.

The board of directors consists of seven people, excluding the three founders.

The rest are all veterans.

Because Dawei has been in charge of the company's operations for the past two years, and most people have close communication with him, so a single glance from him...

Just as he was thinking this, he saw the head of miHoYo's engine department raise his hand.

"you?"

"I'm sorry, Dawei, as you know, our collaboration with the Spark Engine department has been very successful over the past two years. I've always felt that their model is actually quite suitable for us, and since we're already following the Spark model, why not expand into the engine area..."

David remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, the person in charge of peripheral and offline activities also raised their hand.

I don't know if it's because of that person's explanation.

Dawei didn't ask.

The man scratched his head awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, Dawei, but as you know, Xinghuo has been a huge help to us, especially with their merchandise and events. If we follow the Xinghuo model, it will definitely be a good thing for us..."

Further back.

Genshin Impact Development Manager.

"Excuse me, Brother Dawei, you know... Galaxy Amusement Park, me, you, well, right?"

That's right, isn't it?!

David is going crazy.

Is this what people want?

David turned his gaze to Qin Yi.

What does this mean?

It's like playing football; even if you lose, at least don't lose too badly.

At least kick one in.

This is a matter of face.

Fortunately, the last one is Qin Yi, who is his direct subordinate, so this round should be a sure thing...

Just as David was thinking this...

Qin Yi slowly raised his hand.

"Sorry, Brother Dawei..."

Chapter 174 Shift in Strategy

David was stunned for a few seconds, feeling both utterly absurd and horrified.

Indeed, even though David has been saying for the past two years that he wants to be independent and self-reliant,

However, after the overseas operation of Honkai Impact 3 was handed over to Xinghuo, miHoYo and Xinghuo did cooperate in many areas.

These collaborations, in turn, have changed many of the internal voices within miHoYo.

These voices had been silent for a long time.

But now it has suddenly erupted.

David couldn't accept it for a while either.

What, so I'm the only one in the entire miHoYo company who thinks I can't vote for Starfire? Are you isolating me?

Forget about others.

What's going on with you, Qin Yi?

Qin Yi was actually quite troubled; he hadn't originally planned to raise his hand.

But if everyone else raises their hands, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Brother Hao if I didn't raise mine now?

Compared to Brother Dawei, Qin Yi felt that Brother Hao's face should still be preserved.

Ever since.

In silence.

The somewhat hasty vote has come to an end.

Cai Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dawei, what do you think? Should we go talk to Xinghuo about the share transfer, or..."

The situation has reached this point.

Even David.

There was nothing more to say.

"Since this is everyone's opinion, what else can I say?"

"I agree to follow the Spark model and carry out comprehensive reforms, okay?"

Cai Hao nodded and added very seriously.

"Is it real or fake?"

David glanced at Cai Hao.

Actually, he wasn't sure what to do, and he was also a little annoyed at being "forced" into this situation.

But he nodded anyway.

"That's great."

Until then.

The meeting finally relaxed completely.

"Although we are going to fully switch to the Spark model."

"However, let's first deal with the most important thing for miHoYo right now."

The debate over the correct approach has been established.

David quickly brought the matter back to the main topic.

"The current public opinion crisis can be divided into three parts."

"I won't go into the first two parts, we've already done everything we could."

"This last one was triggered by the Weibo post of the person in charge of overseas operations."

"Since we're switching to Spark mode, we need to let the players know our stance."

“This overseas department also needs to give Xinghuo an explanation.”

"Let's lay them off, including that guy, Fu Han, right? Let's lay him off too."

"Give overseas operations to Xinghuo first to keep them on their toes, and then we'll consider this matter when the time is right."

David had just finished speaking.

Qin Yiteng stood up immediately.

"Brother Dawei, I'll have someone issue a layoff announcement right away!"

David nodded and let him go.

Since Cai Hao has been so insistent on his transformation and everyone has agreed to it, he has no choice but to do something about it now.

Only then can one maintain their position.

The idea of ​​going with the flow is David's philosophy of life.

These days, everyone has to save face.

Simply put, Fu Han had become Dawei's pledge of allegiance, but this pledge was only for his own people.

So, where is Fu Han at this moment?

The answer is that she is causing a scene at the administrative department with her sisters.

Fu Han felt that his reputation had been insulted and his privacy had been violated.

Even if the company's senior management decided to make her apologize, it shouldn't be done in this way, especially since she used her own private Weibo account.

They're making a scene right now.

Qin Yi, accompanied by personnel, walked straight in.

It wasn't until HR produced the contract that the process continued.

When Fu Han was asked to sign.

She was still somewhat bewildered.

"What? I've been fired?"

When Fu Han heard about this from the personnel department, it seemed like a fairy tale.
