The black shark cuts its staff by half, and the VR project is to abolish the hardest hit areas. What signal does this release?

Many people may not be familiar with the black shark mobile phone. Speaking of black shark games, we all know that black shark is highly respected for its many classic mobile games.

The black shark will be acquired and expanded by Tencent, which is even more exciting. But now the proportion of layoffs of Black Shark mobile phones is close to 50%. The VR project is the hardest hit area, mainly because Tencent's previously promised acquisition plan was blocked. In addition, the current slow economic situation, epidemic situation and other factors have also affected the current black shark. So there is no need for so many people now, and it is natural to dismiss employees. However, Bian Xiao is not worried about the development of black sharks. I believe that even without Tencent, he will develop very well. Before and after the National Day, Black Shark drastically reduced its internal positions, and the proportion of layoffs was close to 50%, among which VR projects were the most affected.

A large number of business employees in the project were fired, and the probation employees were fired at the same time, and the dismissal rate reached 60%. The related news quickly became popular, which triggered a hot discussion on the Internet. For netizens who are used to layoffs in big factories, such large-scale layoffs are still frightening. Everyone is worried about the future of related industries, and many netizens worry that they will also be part of the dismissal. The reason for the massive layoffs is that Tencent submitted a plan to acquire Black Shark Technology.

Earlier this year, after Tencent announced the acquisition of Black Shark, Black Shark has been recruiting VR talents. However, the acquisition plan is not smooth. According to relevant sources, the acquisition plan was temporarily terminated. Due to the inability to obtain external funds, Black Shark Technology's VR project directly became the hardest hit area for layoffs. In addition, although the market situation has picked up at this stage, consumers' consumption is more rational, and the main channels of black shark business have also been affected to some extent. It's not surprising that Black Shark laid off employees when other big manufacturers often disclose the news of layoffs, but it's surprising that the scale of layoffs is so large.

It is only a matter of time before Tencent acquires Black Shark. To get ready, she recruited a large number of people. But now Tencent's acquisition plan has run aground. Black sharks don't need so many people themselves, they can only cut a lot of people. The VR project is the hardest hit area, which is also related to the shift of focus after the acquisition.
