Chapter 9 Two Businesses
Around nine o'clock in the morning, An Rusong took a taxi and rushed to the toy factory.
The people from the Southern Dong Sect only gave Sun Manzhu a buffer period of more than three months. Raising 2 billion won in these three months is an impossible task in itself, unless Rob a bank.
However, in An Rusong’s view, although the Nanfang Dong Sect is a gang, all they want is money. Therefore, on the premise that it is profitable, the other party’s behavior will not Too much.
The final repayment period of this loan shark is indeed November, but as long as the other party can see the hope of repaying the loan, it is certainly not impossible for the final repayment period to be delayed for a while. .
Therefore, the toy factory must be profitable and create considerable profits. This is what An Rusong needs to do now.
In the past two days, An Rusong has come up with a product design. He even took the time to find a lawyer and asked him to apply for two appearance and utility model patents for this design— —Excluding attorney fees, just applying for these two patents cost him three million won.
Of course, as he said to Sun Manzhu before, the patent of the product belongs to him, but it can be authorized to toy factories for free use.
In the No. 1 workshop of the toy factory, An Rusong, who had just arrived, found the only two mold makers in the factory and showed them his product design.
When looking at his appearance design, the two experienced model makers couldn't help but look at each other. This is not to say that An Rusong's design is so novel and unexpected. Of course, there are some surprises, but the main reason is that it is so ugly that even the moldmaker can't bear to look at it.
On the design drawings provided by An Rusong, what is actually shown is a rooster that has been stripped of its feathers. The raised, textured goosebumps are all clearly visible.
Moreover, this rooster seemed to have been strangled by someone's neck for several months. His whole body was stretched straight, the eyes on his big head were bulging, and his mouth was wide open, as if he had been strangled. It was like he was still screaming loudly before he died.
Yes, the design that An Rusong came up with was the "Screaming Chicken", a vent toy that became a global hit in his previous life. Well, it was also called the "Screaming Chicken". Even in 2024, before An Rusong was reborn, this thing was still selling well in South America.
A 15cm screaming chicken sells for more than 10 US dollars, and nearly a thousand can be sold in a month. It is conceivable that it is so popular and the potential profits are high. Got it.
Of course, in An Rusong's previous life, this vent toy was the first to become popular in South Korea. The reason is simply that the domestic competition pressure in South Korea is high and the people's life pressure is high.
However, as far as An Rusong knows, the copyright of "Screaming Chicken" is not in the hands of Koreans. It was registered by an American company as early as 2003, but the American company only registered a design patent, and It’s just the head of the “screaming chicken” design.
So, after the "Screaming Chicken" toy became popular, no one actually claimed the design copyright.
But An Rusong was different. He only partially modified the head shape of the original "Screaming Chicken", and then applied for two patents for its appearance design and utility model. Report.
The so-called appearance design here is the shape of the "Screaming Chicken", and the utility model patent is the principle of this toy. To put it bluntly, it is to install a BB whistle on the chicken's neck. It screams when you pinch it.
With these two patents, any toy company that produces such toys in the future will have to pay patent fees to An Rusong.
At this moment, the two mold-making masters in the factory still don't understand An Rusong's design, but it doesn't matter at all. He doesn't need the mold-making master's understanding. He only needs the other party to make the enamel mold according to his requirements. Make it.
Now the president of the toy factory, Sun Zhiji, has died. His only daughter, Sun Manzhu, has inherited the industry, and Sun Manzhu obeys An Rusong. Therefore, the toy factory is now An Rusong. The final say.
After handing over the task of making molds, An Rusong walked around the two workshops, mainly checking the existing equipment and the material preparation situation in the factory. His predecessor had worked in this factory for more than five years and naturally knew everything here. To be honest, the workers in the factory might be able to deceive Sun Zhiji about certain things, but they could not deceive him.
Nowadays, the factory has entered a state of suspension of production. The original vinyl dolls can no longer be produced. After all, they cannot be sold after they are produced. It is equivalent to paying for each one produced. If you produce more, you will lose more. .
If it were placed in an ordinary factory, it would be time to give workers a holiday at this time, naturally to save money. But An Rusong did not choose to do this. After all, the hearts of the factory were currently unstable. If the holiday was chosen at this time, the workers would probably be completely disheartened.
But the workers were not given a holiday, and they could not be left idle in the factory. Therefore, after arranging tasks for the two mold-making masters, An Rusong called the remaining workers together, led by the original work group leader. Lead them and let them discuss the future direction of the factory, discuss what needs to be improved in the factory, and let the workers put forward their opinions and speak freely. As the actual decision-maker of the toy factory, An Rusong was not interested in listening to the opinions of the workers. The reason why he arranged this was just to prevent these people from being idle. After all, people only do things when they are idle. Only then will you have random thoughts.
In addition, organizing activities like this can also give workers the illusion that they are the protagonists in the factory, thus rallying people's hearts to a certain extent.
After everything in the factory was arranged and everyone had something to do, An Rusong went to the office that previously belonged to Sun Manzhu and continued to work on his ThinkPad T61p laptop. Programming work.
It had just passed mid-July, and the whole of South Korea had not yet calmed down from the excitement of "entering a developed country". A breaking news that shocked the world spread rapidly throughout the peninsula— —23 South Korean citizens were kidnapped by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
In this regard, the Taliban also publicly announced their demands for the release of hostages, including South Korea's withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, and the Kabul government's release of captured Taliban militiamen within a time limit.
This sudden incident quickly caused an uproar in South Korea. The media and even the Internet talked about everything. Of course, the loudest call was for President Roh Moo-hyun to accept the Taliban’s conditions as soon as possible, at least Withdraw South Korean troops from Afghanistan.
In fact, when the decision was made to send troops to Afghanistan, there was huge controversy in South Korea. Now this sudden incident has just given an excuse to those who were opposed to sending troops.
In Songquan Cave Galaxy City, in an 80 square meter residence, An Rusong was sitting behind the large desk in the study room, watching the game running on the computer screen.
The computer he is using now is not a laptop, but a desktop computer that he just bought this morning. As for the game running on the screen, it is DNF, which was very popular in An Rusong's previous life, that is, The so-called "Dungeon and Fighter".
In South Korea, "Dungeon & Fighter" was launched in August of the year before last. It has been less than a year since it was launched in public beta. It is very popular. The number of players online at the same time has broken the record of the number of people online at the same time in Korean online games. .
However, there is a problem with today's DNF, that is, its game difficulty and game experience are very unfriendly to novice players. Players who have played the 60 version should still remember that at that time, DNF was too difficult to brush, the monster attack power was unacceptably high, and the few resurrection coins given in the game were definitely not enough.
In addition, the game frequently disconnects, making people angry at every turn.
So, at this time, players, especially those who like to show off and want to fully experience the thrill of the game without spending much money, really need a little help, and this help is An Rusong was about to take out something - a game plug-in.
For An Rusong, it is not too easy to write a DNF plug-in. After all, in his previous life, he had done similar work for a while. In his eyes, as long as Korea For the launched games, making plug-ins is relatively simple.
The reason is also very simple. The online games launched by South Korea are designed to make quick money. When they first make the game, they do their best to reduce expenses.
In the behind-the-scenes operations of Korean games, most of the data calculation tasks for running the games are assigned to each player, and are borne by the players’ computers. Their servers are only responsible for a small part, and the accurate Said that it is only responsible for receiving the final feedback results of the game operation.
To give an inappropriate example: It’s like a battle in a game. The player’s character fought for more than ten minutes, using various tricks to cause various cumulative damage to the BOSS. Finally the BOSS was killed. The calculations involved in this entire process are all undertaken by the player's computer.
When the battle is over, the client will feed back the results of the battle to the server, and the server will record the victory of the battle, what rewards he got, and finally record it in the database.
With such a set of logic in it, plug-in producers only need to modify the calculation process on the player's computer when writing the program. For example, increase the number of moves used by the player. The server wouldn't be able to detect the intensity of the damage anyway.
Not to mention the Korean model, for example in "World of Warcraft", Blizzard has placed such strict restrictions on the servers used by agents, but hasn't it been able to completely eliminate the emergence of cheats?
