Cheng Feiyang threw himself into his busy work. Xu Lan would occasionally complain, saying that when the company was just starting out, you, the boss, were never at home all day, which was fine, but why are you still like this now
Cheng Feiyang could only smile and say that he used to focus on marketing and channels, but now the channels are managed by project managers, and he needs to focus on talent and construction. The factory needs to be expanded, the production line needs to be expanded, and the improvement of factory technology is not like laboratory technology. It all needs to be polished detail by detail. These cannot be standardized and quantified. They exist in the minds of every front-line technical worker. How can we not keep an eye on them
Moreover, the people sent out to attract talents were captured by others. As the boss, he had to appease them personally, encourage the new employees and arrange strategic affairs, all of which needed to be done personally.
Xu Lan can only remind you with concern to eat on time and take care of your health.
When people are working on their careers, their spirits are often different. Cheng Ran can actually see that Cheng Feiyang is haggard and has a few more white hairs, but his spirit is probably no less than when he was young. Cheng Ran knows that his father is on track, but sometimes he is a little worried. He doesn't want his father's career to be on the rise but his health to be ruined, which would be a loss.
During the holiday, Cheng Ran and Cheng Qi re-registered a company. Before, they were just guerrillas, saying that they wanted to start a brother business. Apart from registering the copyright of Cheng Ran's Three Kingdoms art and text, they had not formally established a company. The two of them discussed and registered a company in their own name. However, they had not thought of a good name. Seeing that Cheng Qi was thinking of a lot of unreliable ideas, Cheng Ran suggested that they just call it "Lianzhong"
Cheng Ran didn’t know when the Lianzhong platform was established in the future, or whether it still existed in this time and space, but it didn’t matter. It was originally a computer company, and they only made board games. Even if the names were the same, it didn’t matter. The main thing was that the name was good and in line with the core of board games.
Cheng Qi decided to call it Lianzhong.
"Computer News" published content about Three Kingdoms. For the first time, this tabletop game officially entered people's field of vision relying on the huge influence of Computer News. It happened that the circulation of Computer News at that time exceeded 500,000 copies. For a while, countless people had seen the tabletop game column written by Qin Xizhen's senior brother Du Pengrun, who was engaged in the media.
This also proves that Cheng Ran’s channel choice was correct.
That column clearly stated that 200 sets of Three Kingdoms Kill would be given to readers. The readers' addresses would be registered by the newspaper, and then the goods would be shipped through Cheng Ran. Du Peng responded that the entire newspaper's hotline had been flooded with calls.
Moreover, the editors of newspapers and magazines rarely spend their free time playing games. A group of people played board games in the office. In view of the enthusiasm and easy promotion of board games, Computer News plans to open up several issues to introduce tactics and gameplay each time. However, due to the functional positioning of the magazine, there is no plan to sell agents. We can publish advertisements for board games at a friendly price. We also hope to establish cooperation with Cheng Ran. For example, customers who subscribe to Computer News in the second half of the year can get a copy of Three Kingdoms in addition to the game CD. And in the future, if there are supplementary packs, improved versions, and new board games, Computer News can open up publishing space to meet the needs of readers in this regard.
It was under such circumstances that Cheng Qi's newly bought Nokia 6110 kept getting calls from people looking to become agents. So without waiting for school to start in March, Cheng Qi went to Chengdu to meet with all the potential agents.
It's no wonder Cheng Qi was so excited. In the future outlined by Cheng Ran, if the agency deal goes well, the sales of board games may reach 30,000 to 50,000 sets a month. If he's lucky, there's no upper limit. Good years are coming, the market may continue to expand, and pirated copies will come in like crazy, but there's always money to be made.
With just a quick calculation, Cheng Qi felt that every extra day he stayed in the mountains and seas was one more day of wasted life.
Cheng Qi went to Chengdu. During that time, Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen worked on the songs to be prepared for the music festival. They rented a piano room in a piano store near the Conservatory of Music. Cheng Ran sang while Qin Xizhen arranged the music. However, they still encountered some troubles. For example, if Qin Xizhen played and sang by himself for the three days of the music festival, it would be too monotonous and many songs would not be able to be expressed well, so the effect would be greatly reduced. If they wanted a song to be rich, they had to use a band.
Qin Xizhen still has her own way. With her prestige and connections in the Conservatory of Music, she has attracted many juniors and classmates. Among them is a secondary guitarist named Ning Yuan who came to visit her when she was a teacher in No. 1 Middle School. The main guitarist is Shanan Luomu, a handsome Yi man who came from the mountains. He is now a teacher at Shanhai Finance and Trade College, but he was Qin Xizhen's classmate in the past. He also helps out in the Shanhai underground band in his free time. He is a master at playing guitar. The drummer is Liu Pei, a graduate student at the Conservatory of Music and Qin Xizhen's former classmate. He and Qin Xizhen had competed in music before, and they were sympathetic to each other. After Qin Xizhen came forward, he decided to help.
These people are all Qin Xizhen's trustworthy friends with excellent skills. They also love music from the bottom of their hearts. When they were studying, if someone needed help with a performance, they would usually pick up their instruments without saying a word. Now that the Shanhai Music Festival has started, they are actually a little itchy to try their hand at performing, so when Qin Xizhen calls them, no matter what they are doing, they will stop and join in.
Qin Xizhen put out the songs that he learned to recognize music from Cheng Ran, and everyone gathered together to study and discuss them. Cheng Ran listened nearby and raised any problems immediately, such as whether a drum beat should be added here or a chord should be changed here. With Qin Xizhen present, even if Cheng Ran's professional ability was limited, he could correct the problem by trying a few more times according to what Cheng Ran said.
So often after Cheng Ran asked a question, Qin Xizhen would hold the guitar, play a piece, tilt his head and look at Cheng Ran with his eyes shining. Literary works often use words to describe a girl's neck as like a swan, and Cheng Ran thought it was really appropriate.
If Cheng Ran pointed out that a certain part should be lighter or softer or heavier, Qin Xizhen would immediately start over again, revising it again and again until Cheng Ran gave his approval.
This music store is located in an ancient building on the old street. Outside the window next to it is a tung tree in the courtyard. The shadow of the tree is slanted. Every time when she practices until sunset, the light from the setting sun shines in through the window and shines on Qin Xizhen's body. Her eyes are charming, her brows are slightly furrowed, her slender waist is holding the guitar, and a small lock of hair is sticking out of her bun, with the tip of the bun gently hanging on her shoulder. She is immersed in the passionate or melodious music, with a kind of tranquility like a sketch.
Cheng Ran felt that girls who were completely immersed in the music they loved were really pretty.
