Chapter Seventy-One: A Head
Some things have to be postponed, when Cheng Ran passed by some newsstands and stationery stores by the school, he saw the pirated copies of the Three Kingdoms, and Cheng Ran thought that he should also find a time to visit Cheng Qi's studio.
At present, the price of the genuine hardcover version of the Three Kingdoms Kill has reached thirty-five yuan, and the lite version has reached twenty yuan, which is the current price of one. But the pirated copies that are put out for sale are more than a dozen yuan, ten yuan.
These have a big impact on the hardcover version, and the lite version sells very well. This is consistent with the previous expectation, piracy ten dollars down, the quality can not be seen, basically the card is just a hard cardboard, more than a dozen dollars, can achieve 80% of the quality of the genuine paper. These gaps are mainly due to the fact that the Red Star Printing Factory that Cheng Ran is looking for is a large state-owned factory, and the production of these processes is still very passable. Generally, pirated printing and printing factories involve costs, and naturally it is impossible to do it very carefully.
The paper can be almost inseparable, but the quality of the printing and the level of some details are clear at a glance. Under normal circumstances, as long as you are not particularly short of money, and you still want to buy it for a long time to keep and play with your partners, you are more inclined to buy a genuine lite version for a few more money than piracy.
This is different from the situation of pirated books, a genuine copy sells for 18 yuan, and the cost of a pirated copy is a few cents, and it can be sold for 5 yuan, and then it is not enough to pay one or two yuan. The profit margins are many.
However, the Three Kingdoms Kill this production trouble, the cost has also come up, in terms of convenience, it is really not as good as stealing books, and the genuine lite version is only sold for 20 yuan, resulting in many people simply willing to add some money to buy the genuine version, so that many pirates are also very depressed, if it is not because this is very popular now, it is very easy to sell, many pirates are really unwilling to print, they don't understand why the publisher does not raise the price a little, so that they can pirate also have profit margins, anyway, in fact, this thing is not worried about selling, and few people do not pursue maximum profitsγ
Cheng Ran itself takes popular communication as the first demand, and the production of Shanhai has also formed a scale, which is conducive to reducing costs.
Now the advantage is that this market is emerging, bringing interactive gameplay that has never been experienced, the market is growing, piracy damages the interests of genuine, but Cheng Ran is prepared, with the low profit of the genuine to control the market in any piracy can not fully rely on this to make a lot of money, but to a certain extent to improve the degree of communication, although the genuine single product is thin, but for the earliest to eat crabs, in the country, the noodles are spread, the profit is not low.
Cheng Ran wants to make this thing bigger, he didn't think about everything being vigorous, but if he likes it, then do it seriously, the profit on it, it doesn't matter how much he earns, he really wants to make a lot of money, and the board game industry is actually not profitable.
Xie Feibai didn't care about him for now, and now he has no time to deal with it, and he is probably also working on his new life, and he has the opportunity to get together again.
What Cheng Ran thought of later was still the Fulong competitor who talked about finding the underworld......
Cheng Ran seems to have heard of the name Lei Wei, but what the future holds, many things with different opinions, are not sure. In the future fight against crime and evil, it is true that a group of such people have been defeated, but there are also some people who have bleached ashore, or found a more deep-rooted background behind them, and fit into the gears of the high-level......
That's a problem at the moment.
However, Fulong participated in the competition and faced a market of 100 million yuan, and this kind of trouble was bound to be encountered and dealt with.
Thinking about these things, Cheng Ran got out of the car, walked through the intersection of Confucian Temple Street, and entered No. 10 Middle School with the bustling crowd of students.
I wanted to experience the current life in a leisurely way, but this is like a ship sailing on the sea, and there will always be all kinds of waves crashing over.
Freedom comes at a price, and peace is also someone who keeps the wind and waves out, and the world has always been magnificent.
Tranquility is just people's wishful thinking, just like the pouring rain outside, and the old monk settled on the ancient well under the eaves, thinking that the ancient well has no waves, and the flood beasts outside do not exist.
There is an allusion to a drop of honey in the Buddhist scriptures, the traveler encounters a drunken elephant and falls into the well, grabs a small tree, there are poisonous snakes up and down, and there are black and white rats gnawing the roots of the tree, and the leaves contain a drop of honey, the traveler forgets life and death, bows his head and licks, which is more like a metaphor for the suffering and the meaning of life that people will experience in their lives.
For Cheng Ran, this world in the tenth middle school at this time, and the current life is the drop of honey he expects to taste.
......
The sky had just dawned, and with the clear echo of stepping into the corridor in his ears, Cheng Ran entered the classroom, there were not many people inside, but he saw Lao Jiang's figure at a glance.
She had her chin on her hand, her head on the side, her hair hanging down, and a book on the table, but she didn't seem to be reading, and from the wandering of her gaze, it seemed that she was wandering.
Just like this, the side of the face is enough to make people stop.
"Very diligent, I came early," Cheng Ran stood still in front of her and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Jiang Hongshao came back to her senses, raised her head and saw him, her smile spreading in this early morning, "I'm thinking about you." β
Cheng Ran was stunned.
This early morning and eight morning sword outside the sky was simply caught off guard.
However, seeing the sly smile in Jiang Hongshao's eyes, Cheng Ran frowned and said, "Trick me again?"
Old Jiang pursed his lips, not admitting or denying the "uh-huh...... hum"
However, this can be a very different experience.
On the morning of the entrance to the 10th high school, which seems to have begun some kind of new stage and unknown, a girl says "I'm thinking about you" to you on the first day of school, whether it is casual or not, or it makes her heart beat up.
"I suddenly thought of the meaning of studying hard...... Cheng Ran said.
Jiang Hongshao said with a smile, "Yes, studying hard is to be able to come to Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School, and everyone will go hand in hand." β
Cheng Ran shook his head, "It's because I can have a secretary in the future and say this to me every day." β
Jiang Hongshao: "......!"
"In the future, I will match you and train a platoon, you can choose by yourself. β
At this time, there were not many people in the classroom, and when Jiang Hongshao was talking like this, someone still raised their heads to look at them, but the two of them were far away and didn't speak loudly, I don't know what they were talking about, but seeing the girl look up, Cheng Ran said something to her, which still made people silently feel a trace of envy......
That's great.
Cheng Ran went to his seat and sat down, looking back at Jiang Hongshao.
Lao Jiang stretched out his finger and pointed to the side of himself, shrugged his shoulders, and made a "I'm also helpless" action. shows that even if Cheng Ran is in the same class as her, when it comes to being at the same table, it can only be a creation to make people.
Cheng Ran smiled, in the early morning air, there was the smell of cement wall paint and wall skin hidden in the deepest part of the memory, I don't know how many people came and left in this scene, and in the end, it only remained in the midnight dream many years later.
Since then, even if the world has been prosperous and withered a few times, the most unforgettable thing is that the young man was in high spirits at that time, and his thoughts were endless. Fresh clothes and angry horses, want to see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.
......
The intersection between Cheng Ran and Lao Jiang in the early morning of this new school was just a matter of a few minutes, like a bubble that was quietly born, and no one knew about it except for the first few people who arrived in the classroom.
After Zhang Ping and Hao Di arrived at the same table to the classroom, the morning reading class also began, Zhang Ping chatted with Cheng Ran secretly in a very angry manner, and introduced the situation of the tenth middle school to him, a transfer student, saying which club has the most beauties among the nearly 20 clubs next to each other, talking about the celebrities in the grade, what the Three Musketeers, the five permanent people who rule the competition, etc., and who is the son of the cadre, the rich second generation, some are low-key, some are high-profile, and they can't be provoked.
It's the beautiful women who talk about it the most. In Zhang Ping's mouth, the tenth middle school is like a Pandora's box that keeps popping up beauties.
There is also a saying that any middle-class girl in the top ten middle school is a school flower in other schools in the environment of appearance.
Sun Hui, the current head teacher of their fifth class, also famously said, "I saw our girls in the tenth middle school...... sighed that he was born at the wrong time. β
Of course, no matter how many beauties come out, there is no doubt about the status of several girls who fight iron, among which Jiang Hongshao can be called the first and the most well-known, Zhang Ping said, "When we were in the first year of high school last year, there were people who fought for her in the second year of high school! β
Cheng Ran's expression was wonderful, "Brother Jiang?"
"Oh, you don't know, many people call her 'Brother Jiang', which is both respect and awe......"
When Zhang Ping was still squirming, Cheng Ran suddenly felt creepy, and a head appeared from the window next to him at some point, and then Sun Hui's gloomy laughter, "Zhang Ping, Cheng Ran...... Yes, if you don't study on your own, you can read the first article on the stage for me!"
The whole class burst into laughter, and after a while, only the voices of Cheng Ran and Zhang Ping reading "Chen Qing Table" on the stage in unison came from the fifth class of the second year of high school.
β...... The minister should be the head of the body, and the dead should be the grass. The ministers are terrified of dogs and horses, and I would like to bow to the table and hear ......"
In such an atmosphere of laughter that was known to the whole class in a short time, Cheng Ran saw Jiang Hongshao looking at him with a hint of blame, but the corners of his mouth were clearly holding back a smile.
