Chapter Eighty-Four: New Projects
Lan Leyi was very efficient, and just followed Fang Zhuo to the company on Monday to go through the entry procedures, and immediately started working.
She started with a simple departmental plan, and then posted job postings on some job boards.
Later, he began to contact some mobile phone manufacturers and make appointments with them.
As for the novel website, Lan Leyi is not in a hurry, if the starting point book city has not been promoted, she will be a little difficult to negotiate licensing with those websites.
But if you have already negotiated with the major mobile phone manufacturers, then you can talk to the novel website to set up the starting point of the cooperation between the book city and the major mobile phone manufacturers, and it will be relatively easy to talk about it in terms of future installed capacity.
Her idea was clearly to get the channel right first, and then to contact the content.
And Fang Zhuo also told her about the installation cooperation that had been negotiated with Huayu Mobile Phone on the day she joined the company.
Lan Leyi was also very happy after hearing this, with this case, then she would be able to negotiate cooperation with other mobile phone manufacturers more easily.
After handing over the company's affairs to Lan Leyi, Fang Zhuo went to Huayu Mobile on Monday to officially sign a contract with the other party, and his focus returned to studying and writing.
In addition to continuing to write back to the past and becoming a star every day, Fang Zhuo also began to write a little bit of "Dragon Family" intermittently, and slowly filled in the holes......
The whole month of November went by so slowly.
Over the past month, Excellence Technology has made remarkable achievements.
Lan Leyi not only quickly set up the framework of the entire company's departments, but also negotiated cooperation with major mobile phone manufacturers.
Nowadays, major mobile phone manufacturers have begun to enter the field of smart phones, and I believe that the next one or two years will be the outbreak period of smart phones.
After nearly a month of negotiating installation cooperation with seven or eight well-known mobile phone manufacturers, Lan Leyi finally began to contact major novel websites.
And she also deliberately learned about the current situation of these online novel websites in China during this time.
Her preferred target is naturally Tianshu.com, which currently occupies more than 70% of the market share of online novels.
As long as Tianshu.com is done, then the starting point book city will have enough content, and the rest of the other smaller websites will be easy to talk about.
After all, even the industry leaders have already cooperated with Excellence Technology, and other websites that are far inferior to Tianshu have no reason to refuse.
However, Lan Leyi's initial contact with Tianshu.com does not seem to be so smooth.
Because the other party doesn't seem to be so keen on the cooperation of mobile phone readers, probably because the managers of Tianshu.com don't think that mobile phone readers can have much market and benefits.
Their eyes are clearly still on making good content and the development of the PC side. I didn't realize that the future would be the era of smartphones.
Lan Leyi naturally wouldn't give up easily, Fang Zhuo directly handed over the entire company to her, that was to believe in her ability, if she couldn't even do this little thing well, she wouldn't have the face to continue to stay.
So, Lan Leyi personally went directly to the headquarters of Tianshu.com and worked hard to convince the management of Tianshu.com.
Probably because the management of Tianshu.com felt that giving a license to the starting point book city would not cause any negative impact and loss of interests on Tianshu itself.
Regardless of whether the starting point book city can do it or not, it can more or less improve the popularity of some works of Tianshu.com, and in terms of interests, there should be some more or less.
Coupled with the copies of the contracts that Lan Leyi put out to cooperate with well-known mobile phone manufacturers, in the end, the management of Tianshu.com was successfully persuaded by Lan Leyi and agreed to the authorization.
At Fang Zhuo's strong request, when Lan Leyi negotiated the specific contract details with Tianshu.com, she directly asked for a ten-year licensing agreement.
And the liquidated damages for both parties are set very high.
As for the sharing ratio, it is distributed to Tianshu.com in the form of fifty-fifty shares.
As for how much this money will be distributed to the author, this is an internal matter of Tianshu.com.
After winning Tianshu.com, Lan Leyi immediately contacted and negotiated with several other well-known novel websites.
Because there is a precedent of Tianshu.com, those websites did not hesitate too much, and agreed to authorize cooperation one after another.
However, when Lan Leyi negotiated those more well-known novel websites, it was already late December.
At the beginning of December, Zhao Sicheng and others had already made the starting point book city. Fang Zhuo personally tried to use it, and made some suggestions, which made Zhao Sicheng and the others take some time to modify them slightly.
Because there are a large number of reading apps in the previous life as a reference, it is the starting point of the book city made by Fang Zhuo and Zhao Sicheng and others, whether it is in terms of function, or the design, art, and optimization of the entire interface...... And so on are very mature products.
Even if there are still some small bugs, these only need to be modified after being discovered and updated by subsequent readers.
On December 13th, the official version of the starting point book city was finally completed.
After reading it, Fang Zhuo confirmed that there was no obvious problem, so he asked Lan Leyi to hand over the starting point book city to the major mobile phone manufacturers that cooperated, and let the other party load the starting point book city into their mobile phones.
Although for this reason, Fang Zhuo paid a large amount of installation fees to major mobile phone manufacturers.
But fortunately, with the support of the previous "Dragon Family", there is no problem in terms of funding.
After the starting point book city was delivered to the major mobile phone manufacturers, the content docking between the starting point book city and the major novel websites was also quickly connected.
Basically, it can be updated synchronously.
It can be said that everything is ready for the first product of Excellence Technology, the starting point bookstore, and all that remains is to wait for the major mobile phone manufacturers to load those mobile phones from the starting point bookstore to launch the market.
In addition, Fang Zhuo also approved Lan Leyi with 2 million advertising expenses.
And after Zhao Sicheng and the others completed the starting point book city, Fang Zhuo specially convened a meeting and gave them a new task.
"Seniors, let's take a look at the plan in front of you. Your main task is to develop the project. ”
"This is a platform software that specializes in providing smartphone application software downloads, and I tentatively named it 'Excellent Mobile Assistant', and you can see the information for specific details. ”
Fang Zhuo sat on the conference room and said.
"In addition, the maintenance of the starting point bookstore, as well as some possible bug fixes, and the development of subsequent versions also need some personnel. So, Manager Lan, you have to recruit some more technicians in the near future. Otherwise, with only Senior Zhao, they are afraid that there will be not enough manpower. ”
As he spoke, Fang Zhuo's gaze fell on Lan Leyi's body.
Fang Zhuo didn't plan to continue to find senior brothers and sisters in the school to 'work part-time', but planned to directly recruit some technical personnel from outside.
As for the mobile phone assistant he wants to get this time, it is actually the application platform of his previous life.
Fang Zhuo thought about directly using the name 'Pea Pod', which was more well-known in his previous life, but after thinking about it, he felt that this name was still not intuitive enough, so he simply used a simple and clear name such as a mobile phone assistant or App Treasure to promote it.
"Okay, I'll arrange the recruitment in the next two days. ”
Lan Leyi responded.
Because the company is still small in scale, there is no need to set up a special personnel department for the time being, and Lan Leyi is personally responsible for personnel matters.
It's just that she hired a personal personnel specialist to help her share the affairs before.
After Zhao Sicheng and the others answered, they began to flip through the information in front of them......
