In the year of Ninety-Seven, in addition to the amazing souvenirs brought by Haile Pop to the world, there are many things happening on this land, the return of the port city, the celebration atmosphere spread to every region and corner of the country, and even Shanhai City, celebrations and patriotic education were organized, and the fireworks that bloomed at night stayed in the retina for a long time.

Su Rui's song drifted through the streets and alleys with the wind passing through the alleys. The news reported in plain words: "Princess Diana, the 36-year-old British princess, died in a car accident on the banks of the Seine River in Paris. This woman, who has attracted the attention of the world for 16 years since marrying into the royal family, has tragically completed her short life......"

At this time, Cheng Ran enrolled in a new high school.

New things are being known and spread among these groups of high school students, IBM announced: "Deep Blue", the super parallel computer that defeated the chess world champion Kasparov in the "man-machine war", said goodbye to the chess world, and said that it has completed its historical mission, but it does not belong to artificial intelligence, where will the next generation of artificial intelligence that defeated the world champion? People will discuss and even argue about these things, but many people will look back many years later and find that the speed of change in this world and society is breathtaking.

The week after the end of the military training, Cheng Ran came to the second aunt's graphic advertising printing shop. Thinking of the scene of military training, when he graduated from junior high school, he wanted to sing, so he held the guitar and sang, and during military training, the whole person was tired and listless, and he just wanted to listen to people sing quietly, where is there still interest in singing to everyone. So at that time, Cheng Ran resolutely refused, no matter how others coaxed.

Cheng Ran looked at the printing shop and asked Cheng Xiang, "Where is the second aunt?"

"My mother went to play mahjong, and on weekends, there are few people from the company, so rest assured, I can call the shots in the store." "Cheng Xiang has a big package.

Speaking of which, my second aunt is still more capable, I used to engage in advertising, and after resigning, I opened such a graphic printing shop, which was opened on Dongfeng South Road, where the government office building is concentrated, and once covered the business of many units here.

The second aunt started from a small shop, and has been open to expand to three bays, six employees, three printers, a glue binding machine, a photocopier, the whole equipment is sufficient, this set of equipment, for the production of cards is more than enough.

"Brother, I asked my mother to order the materials you need...... Here's the coated paper you want, these, these...... Before, we used a small part of the material, and only made ten sets of samples, this time let's start, how much do we make?"

Cheng Xiang said and said to the woman who was making a document contract in front of the computer, "Sister Xiaozhao, it's up to you in a while!"

Xiao Zhao's name is Zhao Qingfen, twenty-five or sixteen years old, he has been working with his second aunt for three years, his family is rural, he didn't read much, but his brain is flexible, he learned to use computers and software tools under the guidance of his second aunt, and now he is a general in the printing shop, leading five people to be able to take charge alone, and now when the second aunt basically has nothing to do to play mahjong, Zhao Qingfen can complete a lot of work at hand.

There are three people in the store who are not at work today, and Zhao Qingfen is looking at the store, facing Cheng Ran, Zhao Qingfen has an impression of Cheng Xiang's brother, so he laughs, "You are going to make game cards again...... Be careful that your mom will talk about you again!"

Cheng Ran knew this "Xiao Zhao", and many employees of the graphic company of the second aunt in later generations came and went, but Zhao Qingfen has always stuck here, even if she got married and had children, and then the second aunt couldn't do it, and hoped that Zhao Qingfen would take over the store, or even completely hand it over to her to take care of, and it would be enough to fix a fixed amount of money for her every year. Of course, the second aunt is also very good to her, greeting each other during the New Year's holidays, and helping with anything at home.

"Sister Xiaozhao, I'm starting our business with my brother! I'm using the New Year's money to make money, my mother agreed, otherwise how could she give me the money...... Of course, we have money now, and the wear and tear of the machine and the cost of ink are all counted on my head. ”

Zhao Qingfen smiled and passed, "Okay, good, I'll see what other flowers you can toss." ”

"Brother, let's go, it just so happens that Sister Zhao can help us!"

In fact, Cheng Xiang is only fourteen years old now, Zhao Qingfen is more than ten years older than him, Cheng Xiang can call his aunt, but he can't stand this child's sweet mouth, a little Sister Zhao, Zhao Qingfen's heart is full of joy, naturally they entrust what she does, she is willing.

Cheng Ran nodded, Cheng Qi's movements were still very fast, and he probably had free pocket money as a temptation, and when he enrolled in college, he had already gone to the Provincial Copyright Office to register his copyright. It's just that in these years, Cheng Ran doesn't really have the ability and environment to pursue piracy. Instead, take precautions against the future and make a layout in advance.

After the news of Cheng Qi's readiness came, their rear production could start.

"Let's make a hundred sets first!"

Cheng Ran said that now their scale is not enough to find a publishing manufacturer, and it is enough to use the advertising graphic company of the second aunt. Zhao Qingfen put in the help of the four of them, everyone is familiar with it, modernization is a good thing, Cheng Ran sorted out the cards he drew through the scanner, and then printed the cards on a large scale through the color printing machine. The color printer constantly spits out brightly colored cardboard.

The next step is to be manual, Zhao Qingfen and others helped to cut these color-printed coated paper to the fullest extent and make them into the size of a card.

Cheng Ran fiddled with the finished card, using 300g coated paper to make the card feel light and heavy, and it can be grasped with one hand, which is an indescribable wonderful touch.

The most important thing in a board game is the mechanics, otherwise once a board game comes out, it will only be the fate of moths to the fire. The reason why Bing can prosper for a long time, and why the "fighting landlord" and "dry staring" in the playing cards can penetrate into thousands of households, is because there is a fair competition, and it is easy to understand and conducive to the spread of the mechanism.

Overall, it is to make the people who play it not get stuck.

In later generations, board games were craze, and many board games sprung up, but often the classics are just that little, some are complex and not conducive to communication, and some are conducive to communication but the mechanism is flawed, which eventually leads to collapse.

Three Kingdoms Kill was born out of Bang!, and it has undergone many revisions and tests in later generations, although later generations also caused Three Kingdoms to die offline in bloated due to the blind update version and new characters.

But now Cheng Ran has come up with a relatively mature plan.

Seeing that everyone was working in full swing, Cheng Ran went out to the nearest department store, and soon brought back large bags of cakes, candies and fruits.

"Come on, come on, everyone have something to eat...... Great work!"

Everyone took their hands and ate what Cheng Ran bought, with a happy face.

Zhao Qingfen, who likes to eat lollipops the most, took one in his mouth, peeled one and handed it to Cheng Ran, and said with a smile, "You guys...... How much does it cost?"

Cheng Ran took the fruit lollipop and stuffed his mouth, "The cost of a deck of cards is about five yuan...... Let's make it thirty!"

"This thing, someone really bought it......" Zhao Qingfen was stunned. At this time, among them, ordinary employees, Cheng Ran's second aunt's salary was only five hundred, and Zhao Qingfen's salary was seven hundred yuan. As for the average worker's family, the salary is almost 700.

Thirty yuan for a deck of cards, Zhao Qingfen couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Cheng Ran thought for a while and said, "Do you think the Internet café game is fun?"

Cheng Xiang nodded hurriedly, "It's fun!"

"For four or five dollars an hour, you can save money to squat and play stand-alone games, just because it's fun. This investment of 30 yuan at a time, only two people can be killed, and many people can play it, at this price, it is not difficult to sell it......"

Zhao Qingfen frowned again, "It's very troublesome to do this, if you just want to make money...... Why bother, as long as there is a good place, just relying on color printing, bidding and binding, and mass printing, it is enough to make money, just like a printing press......"

"You have a ceiling, this is not a ceiling," Cheng Ran said lightly, "and...... This is the future. ”
