Chapter 82: The Barbizon School (II)
When Mo Moxin successfully completed the negotiation with the school, she obtained the right to use the east wall of Pingnan Primary School for Limu; In addition, after consultation with the welfare institution, a short-term labor employment plan was formulated. Riki finally let her get down to business-
[Collect the list of "North, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen" network companies. 】
This process is a smoke bomb set by Limu, and before you have heard of a certain company, you can't always name someone to invest in that company, right?
So after getting the name of the company, Limu soon "accidentally" took a fancy to "Penguin Company", a Shenzhen IT company. Mo Moxin and her mother were asked to mortgage the property and get a loan of 4 million from the bank. Mo Moxin wants to use this loan and 200 lines of core code to negotiate investment and equity with Ma Cuiteng, and the expected goal is 21% of Penguin's equity. The maximum investment amount is 4 million, and if you can save it below, you can save it, but the principle is to have a good conversation, and both parties are happy.
She, Ma Cuiteng, is not a good-looking character.
Penguin, as Riki knows, was established in November of last year, that is, five months ago, with a foreign capital injection of 500,000 yuan. Experimenting with Penguin with simple OICQ technology, she will unsurprisingly receive $1.1 million in funding from IDG in the US and Hong Kong in October. In short, Penguin is short of money at the moment, and is in the stage of begging people for money to maintain its development and operation.
Theoretically, 4 million yuan is enough to eat half of the current Penguin Company's equity, but the shrewd Ma Cuiteng may not have the will to sell the equity at all, and "Ma Cuiteng Penguin Holdings Co., Ltd." is not called in vain. Therefore, Limu also asked Mo Moxin to bring 200 lines of core code of chat box technology.
If Ma Cuiteng readily agrees, this code, which is more than ten years superior to the present, will become honey; If she refuses, then this code will undoubtedly turn into poison.
Handing it over to any one company is not something that Penguin can accept. This Java technology is different from C++ technology, it has a simple, fast and safe surname, including the cascading and dragging technology of the chat box, and the opening time and memory utilization are optimized compared with the original code.
As long as it is handed over to any software company that is interested in online Chinese ICQ chat technology, and the operation of this company is not wrong, Penguin will not be able to make achievements in online chat.
However, it is precisely because domestic companies are not optimistic about Chinese ICQ online chat (PS: the computer penetration rate is not high, the Chinese network is not even Baidu, the Internet fee is frighteningly high, and making calls is far cheaper than online chat), only Ma Cuiteng is optimistic about this untouched vacuum market. Moreover, Ma Cuiteng's future operation strategy is very successful, even if other companies get investment, they will not be able to climb to the same height as the penguin empire...
… Unless Riki does it himself.
In addition to OICQ, Penguin's operational projects later involved games, comics, news, and many other aspects. Achieving a massive empire like Penguin's requires an elite team of software engineers. Ma Cuiteng's operational strategy, although disgusting, is very effective. In the case of games, when the operations team finds a new game that reaches millions of registrations, they will buy it from the game creator.
Not for sale? Want to grow on your own? Well, the Penguin "Elite Siege Division" will be able to knock off similar games in less than a month. With Penguin's prestige and audience, players will soon fall to the Penguin game platform with a higher authority, and the original creator of the game will not even be able to cry.
Penguin's acquisition of the game is only to save the R&D time of the elite engineering team, which can be used to develop more advanced software technology patents, and at the same time, the operation team can save the upfront publicity cost of the game. However, as long as it is profitable, the penguin with big money will not care about fighting hard with others, and she will definitely make a profit in the end anyway.
The premise of all this is to form an elite technical team.
Build a company, build a team, and maintain a team...... It's too complicated, even ten Mo Moxin can't do it. Unless Riki, who has a very high forward-looking surname, personally fights, it is possible to build a new penguin empire.
However, Riki apparently doesn't have the time, and he doesn't bother to use copycat methods to suppress original game authors, and at this time he is fighting for the painting of "The Battle of Red Cliffs" on the school wall.
Of the five works, Repin's "Slender Man" and Van Gogh's "Starry Night" belong to Impressionist paintings. Riki is still acceptable to Impressionism. But Picasso's Guernica he couldn't accept. He admits that Guernica is art, but this is an incomprehensible abstract art, a perverted mass of flesh mixed together?
Riki likes to use manga to show stories that people can understand, and Guernica is a disgusting painting that makes him feel dizzy even when he looks at it.
[Tips: Guernica's painting depicts a woman falling from a burning house with her hands raised, and another woman dragging her deformed legs towards the center of the painting; A mother with her dead child on the left; On the ground was the corpse of a warrior, and in one of his broken hands was a broken sword, and next to the sword was a growing flower; 】
- Nima, who can understand this painting without systematic annotations!
The more Riki looked at it, the more upset he became, and he deleted the precious artwork of the painting with a wave of his hand.
His favorites are "The Gleaner" and "The Battle of Red Cliffs", both of which belong to the realist style of painting, which is easier for ordinary people to understand than abstraction and impressionism.
"The Gleaners" belongs to the Barbizon school to be precise. The original painting is 830 mm x 1110 mm in size and depicts three peasant women picking up ears of wheat in a golden wheat field.
The elongated print is based on Miller's original painting, with more than three peasant women appearing in the 100-meter-long picture. In the elongated painting, there are 17 figures, dressed in coarse linen clothes, in a golden rice field, bowing their heads and diligently picking up the remaining ears of wheat after harvesting, each holding a small bundle of wheat in his hand, although the amount of these ears of wheat is small, but enough for a family of three to eat two meals. Farmers in the distance are busy loading piles of wheat onto trailers. Under the golden sun, people are busy working, and the birds flying in the distance still set off an idyllic artistic conception.
The Gleaner was created after the July Revolution in France and the 1848 Revolution in Europe......
[Tips: The rich and beautiful natural scenery of the countryside contrasts with the hard work of the farmers. In fact, the social effect of art does not always coincide with the artist's creative intention. Miller's rural landscapes never harbored any desire for social reform, but his paintings were often used by enthusiasts to advocate for the New Deal. 】
"The Battle of Red Cliffs" describes that Cao Ying led 800,000 troops to attack Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei formed an alliance against Cao Ying. On the screen, the two armies have already started a battle, Cao Ying's iron-locked boat has been burned, and there are 100,000 people and horses on the shore stepping on the galloping river water to prepare for the battle, facing the enemy who is covering and killing, and the flag is in the air, and the momentum is magnificent.
[Tips: Zhou Yu took advantage of the fact that Cao Bing was a northerner who was not accustomed to the surname Shui, and made a bitter plan to defeat Cao Ying in Chibi. In the decisive battle of Chibi, Cao Ying, under the favorable situation, underestimated the enemy's conceit, made mistakes in command, and finally was defeated. This work depicts the arrogance of Cao Ying, although the army was defeated, he still made the defeated army defend the riverside and not retreat. 】
Riki has a hard time choosing between "The Gleaner" and "The Battle of Red Cliffs". Except for Van Gogh's somewhat mentally abnormal painting, which leans towards abstraction, he is reluctant to delete the remaining three wall paintings.
As for why I chose "The Battle of Red Cliffs" in the end, it is not because of nationalism, but because I think "The Battle of Red Cliffs" is easier to understand than other paintings. However, the wall painting is painted on the side of the school road, and if you don't realize that there is an army around you when you are meditating, it is really scary enough, but fortunately, there are very few really bloody pictures in the picture. Just as Chinese painting pays attention to artistic conception, it is said that horror films mostly exaggerate the atmosphere, while Europe and the United States mostly use flesh and blood shots to scare people.
Since he has made up his mind to abandon "The Gleaner", he can only paint "Red Cliff" seriously.
When Mo Moxin was on a business trip to Shenzhen, Limu painted every day with "single-mindedness" and "mapping projection", and with the blessing of the two skills, he could paint on the wall like a dot matrix printer. Even if you paint a little at the top of the wall and a little at the end of the wall, you will eventually form a complete painting. In terms of the composition of the painting with the overall situation, the pear wood with "mapping projection" is a well-deserved No.1 in the world today.
It may be an exaggeration to say that painting speed is like a dot matrix printer. But thanks to the combined effect of these two skills, Riki began to paint on the 2.4-meter-high wall in the early hours of every morning. You can draw about 1m in length every 3 hours, and it is never a problem to complete 3~4m wall painting in a day.
He used his break during the day and a little time in the evening to rub the comics in the remaining seven spaces of the "image projection". Draw 3P at noon, and then draw 5P after taking a nap at dinner, and the comic efficiency is 1P more than before. 3p "Steel Refining" every day, 90p in January, and a copy can be published in 3 months. "Q3" submits 2P to the monthly magazine every day, and "From the New World" does 2P every day to save manuscripts.
If the sky is beautiful, he estimates that it will take a month to complete this 100-meter wall painting.
So as long as the weather is clear, the teachers can see a scene every day.
An elementary school student who does not wear a school uniform and wears a headset on his head stands on the steps every morning and works tirelessly to decorate the walls. An old man came to see him paint every day, and this old man seemed to have four bodyguards, the details of which only the headmaster knew. The wall painting grew at a visible rate, and the soldiers began to take shape, and the magnificent wall painting began to show its true face, and the picture grew at a rate of three or four meters every day.
At the end of the school day, even the principal couldn't help but stop for a moment with the onlookers.
