Chapter 377: Busy
When the school held a school celebration, Lu Chen went outside to register a company called Weiyin Entertainment, and then planned to use the time of the school celebration to recruit people.
Lu Chen's company is a sole proprietorship, and he plans to do it himself in the early stage, and if he is short of money later, he will consider whether to let the capital in properly.
For the future of this company, Lu Chen is very confident.
It's just that the people who came to apply saw that there was no one here, and he almost didn't come back after leaving.
In order to recruit people, Lu Chen also specially set up a large office space, and the office equipment and everything had been prepared, but no one wanted to come.
Of course, it's normal for the company to just start and no one comes.
Two days later, when Lu Chen was sitting in the office and recruiting people online, a resume was submitted.
Lu Chen saw that the other party was applying for a programmer, Lu Chen immediately went to that person for an interview, and now what he wants to recruit is a programmer, after all, he has to make the software, as for the later operation, slowly recruit people.
In the afternoon, the programmer came to Lu Chen's company.
After entering the company, Chen Yuanhang glanced at the entire company and found that there were no people in it, but the office equipment of the entire company had been completed.
At this time, Lu Chen came out of the office and said, "You are the one who submitted your resume in the morning, right?"
Chen Yuanhang said: "Well, it should be me." ”
Chen Yuanhang thought to himself, in such a new company, except for him to submit his resume, there should be no one else coming.
Lu Chen then said, "Come and sit in my office." ”
Chen Yuanhang said: "Okay. ”
Subsequently, Chen Yuanhang went to Lu Chen's office, Lu Chen poured him a glass of water, and then said: "I don't know much about the programmer industry, I want to ask if you can make software?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuanhang was stunned, this guy is completely a newcomer?
Chen Yuanhang replied, "Yes." ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Okay, you have been hired, and you can come to work tomorrow." ”
......
Chen Yuanhang was stunned again, this interview was too casual, he went to other companies for an interview, and others had to ask him a lot of questions, but he asked a question in the interview in this company.
Chen Yuanhang asked cautiously at this time: "Are you the boss of the company?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." ”
"My name is Lu Chen, and I am the founder of this company. ”
Chen Yuanhang continued to ask: "I see that there is no one in the company, is the company on holiday today?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile: "This company has only been established for a short time, and it only started recruiting people two days ago, so at present, I am alone, but you are only two people here." ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuanhang was stunned.
It's really just one person!
Is this a one-man entrepreneur?
Not even a start-up partner!
But this guy seems to be very rich, renting such a large space, and even getting office equipment ready.
Lu Chen said at this time: "By the way, your salary is nine thousand per month, and then five insurances and one housing fund, housing and food supplement, and when the company does it in the future, it will give you a salary increase." ”
Hearing this, Chen Yuanhang pondered for a moment, and thought in his heart that this salary seems to be a bit less, compared to those big companies, it is a lot less, but compared to those small companies, this treatment is still very good, not only good, but also a little too good.
Where did the first-time entrepreneur get so much money, this guy shouldn't be a rich second generation.
At this time, Lu Chen continued: "If you are willing to come to our company, we can sign a labor contract today. ”
After hearing this, Chen Yuanhang thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, but what does our company do?"
Chen Yuanhang was a little worried that he accidentally entered that kind of unserious company, Lu Chen said with a smile: "For entertainment software, this is still confidential, and you will know when the time comes." ”
Chen Yuanhang thought to himself, what entertainment software is?
At this time, Lu Chen took out two contracts, and then said: "Look at the terms of the contract, if you have any doubts, you can raise them." ”
Chen Yuanhang then picked up the contract and looked at it, and found that there was nothing wrong with the contract, but he didn't know if the company was irregular and would do some illegal and criminal things.
After seeing that there were no obvious pitfalls in the contract, Chen Yuanhang said: "There is no problem. ”
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Then let's sign a contract, you will be a member of our company from today on." ”
"Oh, okay. ”
Immediately, Chen Yuanhang picked up the signature pen and signed his name on the contract.
After signing the first person, Chen Yuanhang said, "Boss, there's nothing wrong today, right?"
Lu Chen said: "It's nothing, you can come back tomorrow." ”
Chen Yuanhang then said: "Okay, then I'll go back." ”
With that, he immediately got up and left the office.
After Chen Yuanhang left, Lu Chen showed a smile, it seems that it is quite easy to recruit people online.
Subsequently, he posted several more recruitment posts on the recruitment website, and in addition to that, he also put up a signboard under the office building.
In the afternoon, there were obviously more applicants, and most of them were college students who graduated last year, although most of them had no work experience, but Lu Chen still kept them.
In just one afternoon, he had hired twenty or thirty people, so that his company could officially start business.
After another day, Lu Chen summoned these twenty or thirty people to the conference room, and then held a meeting.
They were very confused, because they didn't know what this company did, and Lu Chen just told them that it was engaged in the entertainment industry.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Our company's employees are basically enough to maintain the daily operation of the company, so I will talk about our company's plan." ”
"The personnel department continues to recruit people, and as for others, they are responsible for the construction of the company's website and the development of the company's business. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Chen thought of something, and then said to Chen Yuanhang: "Chen Yuanhang, you take a few people to make this software." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Chen took out a piece of paper, and then wrote the product introduction on it.
Chen Yuanhang looked at the software, and then asked, "Boss, is our company mainly doing this?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Yes." ”
Chen Yuanhang thought to himself, is there a market for making this thing?
The product that Lu Chen took out is a video playback software, which is just a clip of music, and then a picture, if you have to give a positioning, it is short video playback software.
In this era, video playback websites have basically been finalized, and they are still doing this kind of video playback websites, and nine out of ten will go out of business, Chen Yuanhang feels that there is no future.
But Chen Yuanhang didn't say anything, he was not the boss, he didn't think about this problem, he just needed to make this product.
Lu Chen continued at this time: "Qin Yi, you are responsible for investigating the network coverage in rural and urban areas, and then write a report and send it to me when the time comes." ”
Hearing this, Qin Yi was a little confused, what is the boss doing here?
Lu Chen didn't tell them why he did this, because he believed that soon they would know the reason for what he did.
At this time, Chen Yuanhang said: "Boss, these music all require copyright fees, does our company have so much money to buy copyrights?"
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Money is not a problem, when the time comes, I will directly buy the copyright of these music with the music network, and it should be cheaper if it is packaged and licensed." ”
Hearing this, everyone thought to themselves, their boss is really a rich second generation, and he has so much money as soon as he starts a business.
Immediately, Lu Chen said: "The arrangement for the next week is like this, let's make the product first, and then talk about other things after the product is made." ”
At this time, Chen Yuanhang asked, "Boss, what is the name of our software?"
Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then replied: "It's the same as the name of our company, it's called Weiyin!"
Chen Yuanhang said: "Okay, I know. ”
Lu Chen said: "That's it for today. ”
Lu Chen's voice fell, and the employees immediately left the office, after they left, Lu Chen thought to himself, I am afraid it is not enough to make this short video software, if people don't get their favorite videos, there is no way to improve user stickiness, it seems that he still needs to engage in such a thing as an algorithm, but I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money later.
Of course, he doesn't want to think about this for the time being, and then he will make this product first, and then after he has the product, everyone will see how the market reacts, and if the market response is better, he will continue to do it.
To be honest, Lu Chen still feels that there is hope to do it, and I don't know why, he has this confidence.
In this era of entertainment to death, this entertainment software can help people pass the time, fragment a lot of things, and make it easier for people to accept.
This is an impetuous era, and many people don't have the patience to watch long videos, so let's simplify the videos.
To be honest, Lu Chen didn't know how his entrepreneurial idea appeared in his mind, as if he dreamed of it when he was dreaming.
Although it was a dream, but it was still feasible, he decided to gamble, maybe he succeeded, and even if he failed, he didn't lose anything, just a few hundred million, all this money was earned by him writing songs, he felt that he didn't spend any brains writing songs, for him the money came easily, so he spent what he should spend.
After the company began to operate, Lu Chen became busy, not only did he have to attend classes, but also ran to the company every day.
Cheng Ming and the two of them were very curious, how Lu Chen had been so busy lately, and basically disappeared after class.
Of course, they also understand, after all, he already has a girlfriend, but this guy won't accompany his girlfriend every day.
In fact, Shi Yin also felt that Lu Chen was a lot busy, this guy used to always want to lie on her, but recently he came back late at night, came back to take a shower, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep, giving people a feeling that he was very tired.
If he hadn't known that Lu Chen had created a company by himself, Shi Yin would probably have thought that he was stealing outside.
Time flies, and a month has passed.
Weiyin's software has been made and has been put on the shelves of major application stores.
In order to be able to get the authorization of all kinds of music, Lu Chen personally went to the parent company of the music network, the music network is a website that acts as an agent for the sale of music copyrights, and Lu Chen's micro-music software must be authorized to use those music, if there is no authorization, the defendant will be miserable at that time.
When he came to the music network, he was greeted by a manager of the music network, and seeing that Lu Chen was so young, Zhang Wengui said: "What does your company do, you want so many music licenses?"
Lu Chen had already chatted with him on WeChat, so Zhang Wengui knew how much music authorization Lu Chen needed, but he was curious about what they wanted so many music licenses for.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Our company has made a video playback software, and these music are needed for video editing, so we want the authorization of these music." ”
Zhang Wengui said with a smile: "I see that you are also a new company, it is not easy, I will give you a suggestion, directly transfer the cost of music licensing to users, you don't have to buy licenses yourself." ”
In this world, when people need to use a certain music when editing videos, they have to go to the music network to get authorization.
In Zhang Wengui's view, Lu Chen's company is so young, and it is estimated that there is not much money, and it is not very cost-effective for them to help users obtain music licensing.
And it's still a problem whether their video playback software can be done or not, if it doesn't, then these music licensing fees will be lost, so it's better to simply transfer the cost to users.
After hearing Zhang Wengui's words, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Thank you for your advice, but I don't plan to do this, I still plan to buy music licenses in a centralized manner." ”
Seeing that he was so insistent, Zhang Wengui said: "Well, since you are so concerned about users, I have nothing to say, but the licensing fee may be a bit high, I don't know if your new company has so much money." ”
Lu Chen asked, "How much?"
Zhang Wengui replied: "If the entire music library is licensed, at least 300 million, which does not include the music of those well-known singers." ”
Lu Chen thought about it, but 300 million didn't seem to be much, and then said, "300 million is 300 million." ”
Zhang Wengui asked: "Does your new company have so much money? I took a look at the equity structure of your company, and it seems that you are the sole proprietorship, right?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I have exactly a few hundred million." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Wengui smiled, it turned out that this guy was a rich second generation.
It seems that his family should have given him a sum of money to start his own business, but this rich second generation doesn't seem to have much business acumen and doesn't know how to control costs.
Subsequently, Lu Chen signed an agreement with the music network and obtained the authorization of most of the songs in the music library.
Of course, he can't buy the songs of some well-known singers, because the licensing fees of some singers are very high, and a single song needs hundreds of thousands or millions, especially when it is licensed to other companies.
After getting the license, Lu Chen immediately returned to the company and connected the music library, so that users can use those authorized songs directly on the Weiyin software in the future, without having to buy the license, so that users can make short videos at zero cost.
After all this, Lu Chen returned home, ready to rest for a few days.
