Chapter 288: Going Home
Parallel worlds. January 2022.
Before the Chinese New Year, Lin Qi returned home to accompany his family for the New Year. In order to fool his family, Lin Qi naturally made up some lies about working overseas, of course, he was constantly arranged by his parents.
"Money is inexhaustible, your current company in Shenzhen, isn't it developing very well? Our family does not seek to be a wealthy family, has a house and a car, has a little savings, has been considered worry-free, and then work so hard, what's the point?" said my father with a straight face, "Originally, I thought with your mother that when I moved to Shenzhen, I should be able to meet you often, but who knows, I still can't see anyone all year round." ”
"If you had married a good wife, it would have been finished long ago. "Mom joined the chorus.
Meng Xin was smiling and feeding the little bastard, obviously listening to her in-laws count her husband, very happy.
Lin Qi said helplessly: "It's not just about money, it's more about people." I can have what I am today, all of which are supported by my brothers and friends over there, without them, I would not have been able to make up the first pot of gold on the website I invested in China. Now, I can comfortably eat and wait for death here in Shenzhen, but some overseas businesses are indeed inseparable from me. I can't just be in trouble for my own pleasure and let my brothers who helped me get into trouble, right?"
As a time-traveler, Lin Qi naturally knows that the companies over there in the 80s were not just a string of data on the financial statements. Instead, with the addition of overseas employees, there are already tens of thousands of people, and they are directly eating with him. Coupled with domestic OEM enterprises and upstream and downstream enterprises around the world, it affects the vitality of millions of people.
The core competitiveness of the new venture is by no means that the technical elite and management elite of the team have reached the world's first-class level.
In fact, Lin Qi knows in his heart that the quality of the talents recruited by the new venture electronics group, headquartered in Hong Kong, may not be better than the talents from all over the world in Silicon Valley.
It is true that the U.S. education system is not good, but the U.S., as a beacon country, attracts high-quality talents from all over the world to immigrate to the U.S. to work for U.S. companies.
For example, in the 80s~90s, most of China's first-class talents were real high-quality elites screened by the state, and as a result, most of these first-class talents were attracted to the United States. It was not until the 21st century, after the gradual rise of China's economy, that this phenomenon gradually improved.
Most of the high-quality talents recruited by Lin Qixin's Department of Entrepreneurship are cultivated in China, and most of them will be lost to the United States. But Lin Qi tried his best to use Hong Kong, a somewhat attractive platform, to coax some domestic talents who wanted to go abroad and recruit a new entrepreneurial system. Because of the flexibility of the management mechanism of the new start-up department, it may be more suitable to give full play to the talents of these talents than joining the state-owned units at this time, and at the same time, the rate of return is not inferior to that of the United States.
The new entrepreneurship department seems to be an unsinkable aircraft carrier, but in fact, as long as it deviates from the guidance of Lin Qi, a traverser, it may not take a few years to gradually degenerate into a mediocre technology company.
After more than ten years, if you throw the wrong direction in the key scientific and technological development route, you may immediately hit the rocks!
Moreover, it is not only a matter of responsibility, but also the world over there, Lin Qi can have god-like foreknowledge and the confidence to change the world. But in this world, due to the lack of foresight, the biggest golden finger may be to develop the world's technology in the 80s, close the gap, and use the talents and creativity over there to feed back to this world.
Meng Xin is a smart woman, she didn't dig into the bottom like some shrews, but helped Lin Qi cover up and said: "With me at home, men should go out and work hard." ”
……
In fact, during Lin Qi's departure, Felix in the 21st century also developed quite smoothly.
Its original, comic, animation and mobile game linkage, although it cannot be compared with the top Internet giants, is also a small giant with a revenue of more than 1 billion yuan and a profit of more than 400 million.
And last year, Lin Qi asked Meng Xin to deal with the animated movie "Fairy Sword 1", and Meng Xin also did it very beautifully. With 10 million yuan as the IP fee, he won the development right of the animation and mobile game of "Sword and Fairy 1".
After that, Felix Company used "the most classic "Fairy Sword 1", the most classic Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger ......" such sentimental marketing, and the trailer circled a large number of emotional fans on the Internet. The movie version of "Fairy Sword 1" was released in China and achieved a box office of 270 million yuan.
Of course, compared with the god films with the highest box office data in China breaking the 5 billion, 6 billion, and 7 billion mark, this data is really nothing at present. But the problem is that the movie cost of "Sword and Fairy 1" is low.
The production cost is almost 0 in this world, and at most it costs some money to buy IP licensing. However, after deducting various operating costs, the net profit reached 80 million, which can also be called a windfall!
At the same time, the mobile game "Sword and Fairy 1" has also been online for three months, and the monthly turnover has exceeded 20 million, becoming the company's second best-selling mobile game.
The mobile game "Sword and Fairy 1" alone currently has a profit margin of more than 10 million after deducting costs every month.
This move is very correct, because the "Fairy Sword" series itself has only a little emotion left, and the feelings of "Fairy Sword 1" can be called the highest peak of the entire series.
Of course, since Daewoo's IP authorization is not exclusive, after Felix's "Sword and Fairy 1" mobile game became popular, Daewoo teamed up with giants like Tencent to launch another version of the "Sword and Fairy 1" mobile game to share the cake.
However, some fans know that it was the animated movie "Sword and Fairy 1" that reactivated the feelings, and the animated film produced by Felix has also won the recognition of many people. Therefore, I bought the "Sword and Fairy 1" mobile game produced by Felix.
In the operation process of mobile games, the subsidies given to players are also quite generous. The whole mobile game recharge is still quite expensive. However, in the operation activities, a large number of resources that can only be obtained by recharging are sent, and the free resources that are sent every month are converted into recharge resources worth 1,000 yuan. In this way, even civilian players can afford to play, and at the same time, a large number of micro-krypton players have been cultivated, and several of the most cost-effective activities will be recharged every year to knock gold. In addition, a very small number of local tyrants contributed half of the revenue.
There are so many kryptonite games, and it is not enough to sell feelings, and it needs to be operated and generous to be able to retain a large number of ordinary players. And the large number of ordinary players can have the atmosphere to leave those big guys.
In the feelings of "Fairy Sword 1", after earning a lot of profits. Of course, Lin Qi will continue to work hard, take out a copy of "The Court of Avalon", and let Meng Xin concoct it in the same way. Authorization of the purchase-type monthly company.
Compared with the IP effect of "Fairy Sword", the FATE series of Shizuki is more influential, and the diehards are more iron-clad.
The key point is that "Court of Avalon", as a side story, was only used as a short set of canons to fill the worldview, and was not taken out to make an anime or game.
Moreover, the labor cost of excellent painters in this era is getting more and more expensive, and the manuscripts of ordinary painters are not valuable, but those excellent painters can draw a few sketches for mobile games and have the money to buy a car and a house.
The income of many excellent artists has risen dozens of times, hundreds, and thousands of times in the era of the rise of mobile games.
Even those well-known voice actors in the traditional animation industry are animation dubbing to gain popularity and make a lot of money for game dubbing.
It is precisely because of this that the animation and comic industries are not as profitable as mobile games, and there is naturally a talent gap. In this era, there is no shortage of excellent talents, but the animation industry is increasingly unable to hire excellent talents.
Lin Qi was a Felix painter in the 80s, a painting could be sold for 20 yuan, and it was worth at least 2,000 yuan in this world.
The computers used in Court of Avalon are rudimentary compared to the 21st century, but the quality is absolutely excellent. At most, you need to render it by the post-production special effects team to make the picture clearer and more textured.
"Where did this animation come from?" Meng Xin was much more surprised than the animation of "Sword and Fairy 1" last time.
The quality of "Sword and Fairy 1" is not at the same level as "Court of Avalon".
"Don't ask so much, anyway, the copyright of this animation completely belongs to Felix. Lin Qi said, "Whether you can succeed or not depends on you!"
"It's like I'm the boss of the company. Meng Xin rolled her eyes, this husband and the company boss are incompetent. There was no problem with the company, in her opinion, because she intervened in the company's operation in time and avoided the teams underneath Lin Qi.
Lin Qi didn't bother to explain that the development of the company here is more to reassure parents and families.
