Chapter 250 Screws have to be patented; popular page games, celebrity endorsements
…
"Mr. Zhou, how are you? Your time in the company has been pretty good."
When he walked into the studio and saw Zhou Chang writing and drawing on paper, Zheng Ge smiled and shouted.
"Mr. Zheng is here. Please come in quickly. I'll serve you tea."
Zhou Chang raised his head and stood up hurriedly.
"No need to work anymore." Zheng Ge waved his hand, looked at the messy workbench, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, have you had lunch? Our company's food is pretty decent."
Zhou Changdao: "After eating it, the company's food is very good, it is top-notch."
"As long as you're satisfied." Zheng Ge nodded your head and said straight to the point: "I heard from Mr. Guo that you redesigned a Ferris wheel construction plan based on the situation in Lanshan and the design information I gave you?"
The information he gave Zhou Chang at the beginning was not strictly a design drawing. It could only be regarded as a construction design document. If you want to design a Ferris wheel, you must design it based on the actual situation.
For example, the size of the Ferris wheel? All aspects must be considered.
"Yes, but it's not accurate. You'll know just by looking at it."
Zhou Chang handed over a drawing with detailed data marked on it.
Zheng Ge was a little confused at first glance. But after a few careful looks, he could barely understand it. He stared at the data above, frowned and said, "20 meters in diameter and high?"
The task he originally gave to Zhou Chang was to build a large Ferris wheel no less than 150 meters high!
What's the use of 20 meters?
Is it installed in an amusement park for children to play?
He built a Ferris wheel mainly for sightseeing.
A Ferris wheel with a diameter of 20 meters is considered small, right? Can you see a fart? How far can you see?
"Mr. Zheng, that's what I think about it." Zhou Chang helped his eyes and said: "Currently we don't have any experience in building Ferris wheels. For the first time, we just built a large Ferris wheel over 100 meters. To be honest, I
I'm really worried. After all, this facility is related to people's life safety. So I thought of building a small one first, and then building a medium-sized one to accumulate experience... and then build the large Ferris wheel you mentioned. That would be easier.
A lot, and a lot safer.”
Zheng Ge was speechless and knew that what he thought was a bit simple.
Without technical accumulation, how can anything be accomplished?
Even if there are drawings, it won’t work!
"Okay."
Zheng Ge thought for a while and nodded, "Let's do this. Later I will set up a Ferris wheel design studio to specialize in this area. The annual salary...500,000 in the first year, and an increase of 25% in the second year. Depending on the actual situation, every year
The upper limit depends on your ability and contribution."
"good."
Zhou Chang smiled.
The reason I accepted Guo Ya's offer was for the high salary.
The annual salary of 50 yuan has almost doubled compared to his previous annual income, so there is nothing left to be dissatisfied with.
His previous annual salary and bonuses were less than 300,000 a year. Taken together, the monthly salary is about 25,000. It seems quite high, but this is a magical city! It only takes care of the life of the family.
He is forty years old this year, and his monthly mortgage payment is 15,000. As his children grow older, and he gets married in a few years, it will cost him a lot of money.
So at this age, he needs money.
"Do it well."
Zheng Ge laughed.
"Yes, it's just about these small Ferris wheels. Are they going to be built in Arashiyama?"
Zhou Chang asked.
Zheng Ge raised his head, there are so many things going on.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Guo Ya and said: "I remember that a large amusement park is being built in the outer ring. Go and contact them and explain our plan to see if we can cooperate. In addition, we are acquiring a machinery company.
It will be used to produce Ferris wheels. Please discuss the specific plan with Director Zhou. By the way, after the studio is established, Mr. Zhou will be the director."
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng." Zhou Chang smiled.
Guo Ya also nodded, "I'll do it later."
Zheng Ge hummed, looked at the drawings in his hand, and said, "Before you cooperate with the amusement park, you should register a patent first. Also, regarding the Ferris wheel technology, please review it carefully to see what other technologies have not been patented.
, all registered. Don’t let go of even one special screw.”
Zhou Chang: "...Okay, I understand."
He also understands the importance of patents.
Otherwise, when the time comes, when people imitate you, you will have nothing to say.
But every screw needs to be patented, isn’t it too much?
…
After explaining to Zhou Chang, Zheng Ge returned to the top floor and his office.
After opening a bottle of red wine, Zheng Ge sat on the sofa and looked leisurely at the river view outside the window. Thinking about it carefully, there was nothing to do next. Although there were still some documents on the desk, there was no need to rush to read them.
It’s okay to give instructions later.
It's not an important document anyway.
If there are very urgent and important documents, Sun Xiaoyu will mark them.
"Dingling bell..."
The phone rang. Zheng Ge picked it up and took a look. It was Tong Ni calling, "Mr. Zheng, I have roughly calculated the first-day sales of Sword Love, which is around 700,000."
Zheng Ge said oh, this is almost the same as when "First Love and Producer" was first launched. It was hundreds of thousands on the first day.
Tong Ni continued, "Depending on the situation today, there should be a lot of increase. Because of the characteristics of our game, registered users have been increasing, and the turnover is also rising. About 80% of these turnovers come from gifts. Therefore, these turnovers
, our profits are very small.”
Zheng Ge nodded. According to the rules, the gift must be divided 55-50 between the player who received the gift.
"Don't you have enough recharge for the props?"
Zheng Ge was a little depressed.
"This is not much." Tong Ni said.
"Then! Forget it, that's okay too." Zheng Ge shook his head. The 55-cent account setting seemed to make less money, but it could attract more people to give gifts.
Some girls can even make money by collecting gifts.
Zheng Ge remembered an app he played in his previous life, which seemed to be: charging for chatting.
For example, if you find a beautiful woman on the app and start chatting, the first two sentences are free. But if you want to continue chatting, you will be charged.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Tong Ni said again.
Zheng Ge held the goblet, leaned on the chair, put the phone on speakerphone, threw it on the table, took a sip of red wine and said, "Is there anything else? Tell me."
Tong Ni paused and said: "We just had a meeting and planned to hire a celebrity to endorse "The Sword of Love". You see..."
"Advocate!"
Zheng Ge muttered, now his companies have few products endorsed by celebrities.
Xianyu said that it plans to hire a male star to endorse it.
There are also power drink companies. After Jianlibao is launched, they may also ask a celebrity to endorse it.
There is no way, in the entertainment era, many people recognize celebrities.
Suddenly, Zheng Ge thought of some browser games in his previous life. They had rough graphics and bad gameplay, but they could make an annual revenue of 1 billion. Why? Isn't it the "9999999 for one dollar" advertisement?
