Chapter Thirty-Eight: Rich?
Meng Zhe has an idea, he plans to officially enter the peripheral industry of comics.
Before, Tianjiao Club relied on "Anime Boy", and it has indeed begun to sell pillows, mugs and other items printed with anime images, and the sales have been pretty good so far, with sales in December being in the early 10,000s......
However, after removing various costs, the profit is actually not too high, because this is just a small test of the waters.
Meng Zhe's official entry into the comic peripheral industry, but the entry point is not these - the entry point Meng Zhe wants to find is cards, the cards of "Stupid Three Kingdoms Guardian" and the cards of "Digimon".
As a post-80s Meng Zhe, the brand of "Little Raccoon Crispy Noodles" has always been fresh in his memory, in the mid-to-late nineties, Little Raccoon Crispy Noodles was more than Master Kong and Fuman, and its influence and popularity among the children was well-deserved No.1.
What is the secret of the success of the little raccoon's crispy noodles?
About a lot of post-80s generations will say: Little Raccoon comes with a variety of cards!
Yes, the little raccoon simply comes with cards in his face, and the Water Margin 108 will be a card, and the Three Kingdoms character cards...... These cards have attracted a large number of young consumers to the little raccoon.
And the "Stupid Guardian of the Three Kingdoms" that Meng Zhe plans to do now will appear in a large number of Three Kingdoms characters, not to mention, the idea itself also cites the "Three Kingdoms Killing" game that will be very popular before he is reborn - if you don't make cards, what's the reason?
As for Yao Feila's "Electronic World Adventure", with Meng Zhe's transformation, it will inevitably become "Digimon" with Chinese characteristics, and the Digimon in the story can also be used to make various cards!
“…… Sister Lan, what I mean to sum it up is that we can find Tongyi or Master Kong or something, and sell our anime card products in their instant noodle products for children and teenagers. Or, in the form of licensing, we license the anime character image to them to use, and they pay us the licensing fee. ”
After saying his thoughts almost, Meng Zhe made a final summary with these two sentences.
According to Meng Zhe's idea, because the characters in the comics appear slowly, they are just used to add batches to the cards of bagged instant noodles, which not only does not hurt, but can always maintain freshness and attention.
When the comics are almost out, you can officially launch the "Three Kingdoms Killing" game deck, Meng Zhe estimates that if you want to serialize "Stupid Three Kingdoms Guardian" to about the same, it will take at least until around 96 or 97.
At that time, China's computer network had basically been built, and there were already a considerable number of netizens and Internet cafes across the country, and the online version of the Three Kingdoms game could be launched in due course......
After patiently listening to Meng Zhe's thoughts, Kong Lan thought for a while, and finally made her decision: "Xiao Zhe, let's do it ourselves." ”
"Do it yourself?" Meng Zhe was stunned, and then he found that he was a little too slow about the current economic ability of the magazine.
By the end of December, the magazine had received 67,811 orders for the whole of 1994.
The concept is that the money on the magazine's books, after paying all kinds of taxes and expenses, should now be at least ...... Million?
No, it should be six million!
Sister Lan is a 'Taiwanese businessman', and according to the current policy, it seems that she does not have to pay much tax in the first three years of running a business.
This is 6 million in the mid-90s, and 10,000 households in this era are still worthy of people's envy, and people's monthly wages in this era are only three or four hundred yuan. If this amount of money is enough to build an instant noodle factory, how much will it cost?
In order to maintain the normal operation of the magazine, about 1 million of the 6 million needs to be left to deal with various situations, and the remaining funds that can be used are 5 million......
To set up a small instant noodle factory, it is enough to spend a million yuan to survive, right? In order to become famous, spend another million on advertising, is it enough?
Together, the two items will not cost a total of three million!
Just, spend the remaining two million, right?
Anyway, in these years, if you don't use the money, it will only depreciate and not appreciate, so it's better to take it out and invest it quickly......
"Sister Lan, why don't we make another computer game!"
Meng Zhe, who thought through the magazine and now has money, did not hesitate to propose a new way to spend money.
"Making computer games? Xiao Zhe, it seems that making video games costs a lot, and it's not something you can do if you want to...... Are you sure we can really do it now? ”
Meng Zhe's leapfrog suggestion startled Kong Lan a little, in Kong Lan's impression that doing computer games seemed to be a very high-tech thing, and she was afraid that there would not be enough money......
"Yes, Sister Lan, we can definitely do it now!" Meng Zhe nodded with great affirmation, and then began to tell what the game he wanted to make was-
Meng Zhe wants to make a computer game, to be precise, it should be a stand-alone version of the computer game of "Three Kingdoms". Since it is a card + turn-based game format, various damage judgments are actually not complicated at all, and how complex a game engine will be needed to take the data that can be calculated by the human brain?
Of course, there are still places where the game needs to spend money, and these things that cost money are the game graphics, game music, and game special effects.
Even, the Three Kingdoms Kill can also be used to make handheld games, but Meng Zhe still thinks it's okay, the handheld field is still waiting for the little ones to talk about, you can't make money doing handheld games in China, this thing is still more profitable over there in the mud bombardment.
"However, if Xiao Zhe wants to do it ourselves, my sister doesn't even know where to go to dig people, domestic ...... Don't have a company that makes computer games? After listening to Meng Zhe's story, Kong Lan frowned and said, if you are in Taiwan, you can go to Daewoo to dig people, and Kong Lan really doesn't know where to dig in China.
"Yes! Yanjing should have a leading software company, their ability to develop games is quite good, if you can't dig people from this company, many colleges and universities now have computer majors, you can also recruit Sister Lan, Yao Feila, isn't he a student majoring in computer science? ”
Meng Zhe has already considered this problem, but Meng Zhe is not omniscient after all, and the leading software company in his memory has not yet been established. Now the forerunner is only the computer department of Pioneer Cartoon Company, and the advantage of this computer department is in the field of 8-bit game consoles, not in the field of computer games.
Kong Lan nodded, and after she wrote down the name of the leading software, she asked, "Xiao Zhe, do you think this game will definitely make money if it is developed?" ”
"It's going to make money!" Meng Zhe replied firmly, but after a slight pause, he added: "Of course, the premise is to take measures to prevent pirated game software from being too proliferated." ”
Pirated game software has always been the biggest natural enemy that threatens the survival of the stand-alone game industry.
China's single-player game market is ruined by crazy piracy, if the single-player game can't even recover the cost, where will there be game companies to continue to do it?
Many Chinese players in later generations, when playing various pirated foreign stand-alone games, will say with infinite contempt: "Look at the connotation of people's single-player games, look at the production of people's beautiful stand-alone games, do you all grow up eating from domestic stand-alone game manufacturers?" “
However, few people have ever thought that how could the barren soil where piracy is rampant give birth to such a delicate flower as Dazuo?
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be released to 5 generations, which is very, very, very commendable......
