Chapter 025: Dongfang Electronics
In the office of the director of Mei Hing Industrial Building, Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, two brothers, Li Xuan and Li Ke, sat facing each other. Li Xuan was looking down at the ledger seriously, while Li Ke was leaning comfortably on the boss's chair, smoking a cigarette leisurely, his eyes aimlessly sweeping out of the window.
This is the first time that Keji Company has calculated profits in detail and prepared to pay dividends after more than two months of production and operation.
"Not bad!" Li Xuan finally finished reading the accounts, exhaled lightly, and said to the eldest brother with a smile.
"It's just not bad, the little guy, I made 1.5 million in two months, and I'm about to catch up with the bank robbery!"
Li Ke's eyes widened, he didn't sleep all night with excitement after reading the accounts yesterday, and now he still has dark circles on his face. But the younger brother's appearance was completely lacking in the excitement and excitement he expected.
Could this be the gap between himself and his younger brother? It seems that he will have to cultivate his self-cultivation and qi more in the future, yes, what is two million! Under his younger brother's calm expression, Li Ke did not have the initial restlessness.
For Li Xuan, this was all expected, and naturally there was a little less surprise. However, Kekee's performance is still much better than he expected, thanks to Du Wenqiang's efforts in the past few months, he has cracked all the popular arcade games in the Hong Kong market.
Although not every arcade game he cracked was produced by the company, it also made the factory's production schedule much more flexible. This month, Ke Kee Company carried out on-demand production according to the orders placed by Shao Yongqiang, and all workers worked overtime until midnight every day to maximize the factory's production capacity. Every time a game console is made, it will be pulled away immediately, and it will completely achieve zero inventory.
It's a pity that this is almost the limit of Keke's development, and compared to the real big game companies, this is still just a small copycat workshop.
"I'll have to seal a big red envelope for the fat boy later!" Li Ke spit out a smoke ring, "He has contributed a lot during this time!"
Fat boy is Li Ke's new nickname for Du Wenqiang, compared to Li Xuan, who has to go to school and pick up girls, and his energy is scattered by Yan zhòng, after the fat man Du Wenqiang joined Ke Ke Company, he really devoted himself to the cause of cracking piracy.
"Well, we really have to motivate him and try to squeeze out his remaining potential!" Li Xuan said with a smile.
Li Xuan has also discovered that if he didn't have the aura of rebirth, he might not be as strong as Du Wen in terms of game programming skills. Before developing Hong Kong Cube, it was not so much that Li Xuan developed a new game, but that he wrote a simple computer program that he had already known.
Even so, after Li Xuan got the first version of the Hong Kong squares out and found an agency to file an international patent application on his behalf, he threw the game to Du Fatzi. The later program debugging, optimization, and transplanting to the arcade system, this series of work is done by Fat Boy independently.
After all, he was born in microelectronics, computer programming is not his old profession, integrated circuit design, chip embedded system development and other work is his specialty, as for video games can only be regarded as his hobby.
But now this hobby has become Li Xuan's main business, and it is constantly grabbing it for him, laying a solid financial foundation for him to do some more professional work at will in the future. Li Xuan knows that his only advantage over others is the classic game ideas in his head, which is the most fundamental guarantee for him to dare to turn his hobby into a career.
Giving what you are not good at to someone who is better at it is a golden rule for countless successful people to create brilliant careers, and Li Xuan is naturally no exception.
"What is it?" Du Wenqiang saw Li Xuan put a folded piece of paper on his desk, and asked curiously.
Li Xuan smiled and didn't say anything, just quietly stared at Fat Boy Du's face, watching him change from initial calmness to surprise, and finally to a face full of excitement and excitement.
"Xuan Shao, is this really fake, the bonus given to me?" What Du Wenqiang was holding in his hand was a cash check from Standard Chartered Bank that had been filled out, and the amount on it was 20,000 yuan.
"Is it good to write a fake check to break the law! If you don't want it, I can take it back!" Li Xuan gestured and reached out to get it back.
"Hey, hey, I'm not so excited, how could I not want to!"
Du Wenqiang said as he put the check in his wallet with an agility that was extremely incommensurate with his figure. He previously signed a contract with Keji Company with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, and 20,000 yuan is equivalent to half a year's salary.
With such a big surprise falling from the sky, Du Wenqiang was naturally very happy, and even the two pieces of fat on his cheeks shook when he laughed.
Li Xuan took out a stack of Wen Jiàn from Wen Jiàn's bag, put it in front of Du Wenqiang and said, "Take a look at it carefully, if there is no problem, sign on each Wen Jiàn!"
Du Wenqiang hurriedly picked up the text and looked at it, the top copy of the article was the equity distribution agreement of Hong Kong Oriental Electronic Technology Company, and he inevitably had some doubts in his heart.
This Hong Kong Oriental Electronic Technology Company is a newly registered company not long ago by Li Xuan, and it is also the first real step in his determination to start a business.
Ke Ke Company was registered in the name of Li Ke, and Li Xuan initially had a verbal agreement with his eldest brother that the profits earned by the company would be divided equally between the brothers. But when the dividends were actually paid, Li Ke paid 1.5 million yuan to his younger brother's bank account, and his nominal boss only left 500,000 yuan. Since the eldest brother has this intention, Li Xuan did not pretend to shirk it, and accepted it very calmly.
"What kind of company is this Hong Kong Oriental Technology? Also, how can there be two entry contracts here, and the annual salary difference is half, which one should I sign!" Du Wenqiang spent more than ten minutes finally reading all the articles, but he was not in a hurry to start writing.
Li Xuan saw that the fat boy had finished reading all the papers, put down the newspaper in his hand, looked up at Du Wenqiang and said seriously: "This is my newly established company, and the previous Keji company belongs to my eldest brother's company." And you also know that the game consoles we produce are actually illegal acts that infringe on the property rights of assets, and they can only be developed secretly in private, and they can never be bigger.
So my next goal is to develop my own original game, and the Hong Kong squares in front of me are my test of the waters during this time. As you know, I've been interviewing and recruiting people all this time. In fact, these newly recruited employees are all affiliated with the new company and have nothing to do with Keji.
Now that the preliminary preparations are almost done, it's time to make a new sign! I hope that you, the earliest veteran, can join the new company and start a great business with me!"
"Xuan Shao, after listening to your words, I have a passionate impulse, I must join the new company, sign the contract now!" Du Wenqiang said this, but there was no trace of excitement on his face, and his willingness to join the new company is probably mainly due to the high salary on the new contract.
Li Xuan saw his sensational speech, this dead fat man didn't cooperate at all, and he felt bored, so he had to continue to explain: "You are the veteran who was pulled in by me when Ke Ji was first established, so I will give you an extra choice." If you choose to sign the contract with an annual salary of 150,000 yuan, then I will withdraw the equity distribution agreement. Or take 0.5% of the shares of the new company, then you can only choose another contract with an annual salary of 100,000!"
"It's too little to get 50,000 yuan less salary every year to exchange for 0.5% of the shares, right, can such a broken company be worth 10 million?" Du Wenqiang muttered a few words in a low voice, and his heart was a little uncertain.
Under Li Xuan's urging, after several hesitations, Fat Tsai Du finally chose a contract with a higher annual salary and settled down first. This choice also made me regret dying every time I recalled this incident later. He actually missed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of shares for the sake of a salary of 50,000 yuan, although at that time, as an executive of Oriental Technology, he had already become a billionaire.
After Du Wenqiang signed his name on the contract, he didn't dare to look directly into Li Xuan's eyes. After all, Xuan Shao just said that he would let him start a career with him, and he made the opposite choice in a blink of an eye. But that's 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and his old bean can't earn so much salary a year.
In fact, Li Xuan not only did not have the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart, but was secretly happy, he felt that he had done his best, but this dead fat man had no vision for himself, and there would be times when he regretted it in the future.
