Chapter 38 Are you rich?
Meng Zhe has an idea that he intends to officially enter the surrounding industry of comics.
Before, relying on "Anime Boy", Tianjiao Club has indeed begun to sell pillows, mugs and other items printed with animation images. So far, the sales volume is quite good. The sales in December are more than 10,000...
However, after removing all kinds of costs, the profit is actually not too high, because this is just a small test of water.
Meng Zhe's official entry into the comics peripheral industry, but these are not the entry points - the entry point that Meng Zhe wants to find is cards, the cards of "The Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" and the cards of "Digimon".
As Meng Zhe, who was born in the 1980s, he has always remembered the brand of 'Little Raccoon Crisp Noodles' vividly. In the mid-to-late 1990s, compared with Master Kong and Fumanduo, the influence and popularity among children were well-deserved No.1.
What is the secret to the success of the little raccoon crispy noodles?
About a lot of post-80s will say: The little raccoon comes with all kinds of cards!
Yes, the little raccoon simply comes with cards, Water Margin 108 cards, Three Kingdoms character cards... These cards have attracted a large number of young consumers for the little raccoon.
And Meng Zhe's "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" that he is going to do now will appear in a large number of Three Kingdoms. Not to mention the idea itself, the idea itself also quotes the "Three Kingdoms Kill" game that will be very popular before his rebirth - if he doesn't make cards, where is the truth?
As for Yao Feila's "Electronic World Adventure", with Meng Zhe's transformation, it will inevitably become a "Digimon" with Chinese characteristics. The Digimon in the story can also be used to make various cards!
"... Sister Lan, what I mean is that we can find Unity or Master Kong to sell our animation card products in their instant noodles for children. Or, in the form of authorization, we will authorize the animation characters to them, and they will pay us the authorization fee.
After saying his thoughts almost, Meng Zhe made a final summary with these two sentences.
According to Meng Zhe's idea, because the characters in the comics appear slowly, they are just used to add batches to the cards of bagged instant noodles. This is not only of no harm, but also can always maintain freshness and attention.
When the comics are almost released, the "Kill of the Three Kingdoms" game deck can be officially launched. Meng Zhe estimates that if he wants to serialize "The Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" to almost, it will take at least around 96 and 97 years.
At that time, China's computer network was basically built, and there were a considerable number of netizens and Internet cafes all over the country, which could launch the online version of the Killers of the Three Kingdoms in due course...
After listening to Meng Zhe's thoughts patiently, Kong Lan thought for a long time, and finally made her decision: "Xiao Zhe, let's do it ourselves."
"Do it yourself?" Meng Zhe was dozed, and then he found that he was a little too slow about the magazine's current financial ability.
As of the end of December, the magazine received 67,011 orders for the whole year of 1994. What is the concept?
This concept is: the funds on the books of the magazine, after paying various taxes and expenses, should be at least...five million now?
No, it should be six million!
Sister Lan, she is a 'Taiwanian businessman'. According to the current policy, it seems that she doesn't have to pay much tax for the first three years of running a business.
This is six million in the mid-1990s. In this era, 10,000 households are still worthy of people's envy. In this era, people's monthly salary is only three or four hundred yuan. If so much money is enough to make an instant noodle factory, how much will it cost?
In order to maintain the normal operation of the magazine, about one million of these six million needs to be left to deal with various situations, so the remaining funds that can be transferred are also enough for five million...
It's enough to set up a small instant noodle factory and spend more than a million yuan, right? In order to be famous, is it enough to spend more than a million yuan on advertising?
The two things add up, it won't cost three million in total!
Why don't you just spend the remaining two million?
Anyway, these days, if you don't save money, it will only depreciate and not appreciate. It's better to take it out and invest...
"Sister Lan, why don't we make another computer game!"
After thinking through Meng Zhe, who is now rich in the magazine, he did not hesitate to put forward a new way to spend money.
"Do computer games? Xiao Zhe, it seems to be very expensive to play video games, and it's not something you can do if you want to do it... Are you sure, can we really do it now?
Meng Zhe's leapfrog suggestion shocked Kong Lan a little. In Kong Lan's impression, playing computer games seems to be a very high-tech thing. She is afraid that she doesn't have enough money...
"Yes, Sister Lan, we can definitely do it now!" Meng Zhe nodded with certainty, and then began to tell what game he wanted to play--
Meng Zhe wants to play computer games. To be precise, it should be a stand-alone version of the computer game of Legends of the Three Kingdoms. Because it is a card + turn-based game, all kinds of damage judgments are not complicated at all. How complex game engines will be needed to take the data that can be calculated by the human brain?
Of course, there are still places to spend money on this game, which lies in the game screen, game music and game special effects.
Even the Killers of the Three Kingdoms can also be used as a handheld game, but Meng Zhe still thinks it's okay. The handheld field is still waiting for the children to talk about it. Domestic handheld games can't make money. This thing is still more profitable in the mud bombardment.
"However, if we have to do it ourselves, my sister doesn't even know where to go. In China... there is no company that does computer games?" After listening to Meng Zhe's story, Kong Lan frowned and said that if he was in Taiwan, he could go to Daewoo to dig people. Kong Lan really didn't know where to dig in China.
"Yes! Yanjing should have a leading software company. Their ability to develop games is quite good. If you can't find people from this company, many colleges and universities now have computer majors, and you can also recruit Sister Lan. Isn't Yao Feila a computer major?
Meng Zhe has already considered this problem, but after all, Meng Zhe is not omnipotent. The leading software company he remembers has not been established yet. The current foreshadowing is only the computer department of Pioneer Cartoon Company, and the advantage of this computer department is in the field of 8-bit game consoles, not in the field of computer games.
Kong Lan nodded. After she wrote down the name of the leading software, she asked, "Xiao Zhe, do you think this game will make money if it is developed?"
"I will definitely make money!" Meng Zhe replied firmly, but after a short pause, he added, "Of course, the premise is to take measures to prevent pirated version of the game software from being too flooded."
Pirated game software has always been the biggest natural enemy that threatens the survival of the stand-alone game industry.
China's stand-alone game market is destroyed by crazy pirated versions. If the cost of the stand-alone games can't be recovered, how can any game companies continue to do it?
Many Chinese players in later generations, when playing all kinds of pirated foreign stand-alone games, will say in an infinitely contemptuous tone: "Look at the connotations of their mud bombarded stand-alone games, and see how much their beautiful stand-alone games are made. Do you grow up with shit?"
However, few people have thought about how the barren soil where pirated versions are rampant can breed such a delicate flower as a masterpiece?
The Legend of Sword and Fairy can be released in 5 generations, which is already very, very, very valuable...
