Chapter 37 First Single
At night, the residential area of Galaxy City in Songquandong.
In the spacious living room, a KBS TV program is being played on the open TV. In the screen, Kang Ho Dong, Lee Soo Geun, MC Mong, Eun Ji Won, Kim Jong Min, and Lee Seung Gi are gathering in the parking lot to check out each item. Vehicles driven by individuals.
When An Rusong was wrapped in a bath blanket and walked out of the bathroom, the program happened to be in progress when Li Xiugen showed everyone his bank passbook, with a deposit balance of 1,200 yuan on it, which attracted everyone's ridicule. Li Xiugen He took the opportunity to perform a sensational performance, but was mercilessly exposed by Jiang Hodong.
Sun Manzhu, who was sitting on the sofa with her knees in her arms, was so amused by the program that she couldn’t stop laughing. Li Caicao, who didn’t understand Korean, looked confused. In the past, she rarely watched in the living room. TV, after all, she couldn't understand Korean at all.
But in recent days, she has appeared in the living room more and more often. As for the reason, it is estimated that An, who is wrapped in a bath blanket, knows the reason.
The program broadcast on TV is the new variety show "Two Days and One Night" which is officially launched tonight. This episode is the first episode of "Chungbuk Yeongdong".
On the sofa, Sun Manzhu occupies the left side of the sofa, while Li Caicao occupies the right side of the sofa, leaving a large space in the middle.
An Rusong came out of the bathroom, went to the study first, and took the notebook that belonged to Sun Manzhu. Then he returned to the living room and sat down with Sun Manzhu and Li Caicao politely. middle.
At this time, on the TV screen, Jiang Hodong had opened the door of Yin Jiyuan's car and took out a paper bag from the seat inside. He first took out a pair of red pants and made fun of the holes in them. Then, amid everyone's laughter, he took out an ugly, hairless "yellow chicken" from the bag.
"It's out, it's out!" Sun Manzhu became excited when she saw the yellow toy chicken. She stood up from the sofa, jumping and cheering, "Our screaming chicken! Our screaming chicken!" ”
An Rusong held the notebook with one hand and protected her with one hand in front of her, lest she accidentally fall off the sofa.
On TV, Jiang Hodong accidentally pinched the "yellow chicken". Suddenly, the tragic scream sounded on the TV, which shocked several guests present. After they reacted, They all began to compete for this novel toy.
The fun among the guests didn’t last long, just over two minutes. After that, the Screaming Chicken was taken over by Jiang Hodong, who was tall and strong.
In this episode, Screaming Chicken's implanted software ends here. It will appear again in the third episode of the show, which will last about two minutes.
In other words, the advertising time of less than four minutes and less than five minutes, and the product placement soft advertising without revealing the product manufacturer and contact information, took away 150 million won in advertising fees from the toy factory.
This is still the price An Rusong needs to pay when the future of the show is uncertain. If "Two Days and One Night" really becomes popular, it is estimated that such a small advertising fee will be spent on just such a product placement. Not even qualified to participate in the bidding.
When Screaming Chicken was put away by Kang Ho-dong, Son Man-joo began to murmur dissatisfiedly. She believed that the time for her products to be displayed on the show was too short, and she felt that the investment of 150 million won may not be worth it. Return fare.
An Rusong knew that this woman was naive and could not speak her mind, so he did not share her knowledge. He just pinched her face, rubbed her head, and turned to write in the notebook again. own code.
An Rusong has actually completed the flower card website for Liu Taihe and Shen Tai'an. He even did basic testing on "Gwan".
However, he was not in a hurry to report the good news to Mrs. Liu and the others.
The same job, the same quality, the same charging standard, there is a difference between completing it in one day and completing it in ten days. Most of the time, it is not that the employer is satisfied the faster the project is completed. On the contrary, if the project is completed quickly, the employer may feel that he has suffered a loss.
Human nature is the same everywhere.
An Rusong did not plan to cooperate with Liu Taihe for a long time, so he did not need to prove to him how strong his abilities were. His logic is: it is a wise choice to keep a low profile in front of potential opponents that he is not sure to kill.
Now, the notebook in front of An Rusong is running python2.7, and what he is writing is the source code for starting Tcpserver.py on the server side.
That's right, he is planning to create an instant messaging software similar to ICQ, a pure Korean version.
This is a big project. An Rusong does not plan to complete it entirely by himself. As long as he has more funds on hand, he plans to set up a company and hire some programmers to provide it. The idea is to get this software out as soon as possible.
In An Rusong’s previous life, KakaoTalk dominated the Korean instant messaging software market. With this software, Kim Bum-soo rose rapidly and became the so-called richest man in Korea in more than ten years. .
An Rusong is very ambitious. He doesn't think he has enough time. Therefore, without funds to start a company, he has to do some work himself first. After all, it is a phenomenal variety show, and the funny content quickly attracted Sun Manzhu's attention. She was so amused by the fun of the guests on the show that she had long forgotten about the advertisement.
Of course, she didn't notice that at the other end of the sofa, the woman who was nominally her stepmother had secretly inserted a white and tender foot into the bath blanket wrapped by An Rusong.
"Didi"
Just when An Rusong was aroused and had almost no intention of typing the code, the sound of a cell phone suddenly rang in the direction of the study.
Taking this opportunity, An Rusong stood up, glared at Li Caicao, and hurried to the study.
The phone was placed on the desk. An Rusong picked it up and glanced at the screen, which showed "Unknown Call".
He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost six o'clock in the evening. He didn't know who would call him at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
"Hello, may I ask?" A voice with an awkward accent came from the mobile phone. The other party spoke half of the sentence. He guessed that he couldn't remember the name of the person he was talking to. He was still talking on the phone while talking. I wanted to check business cards and other things, "Is this Mr. An from DreamToys toy factory?"
Listening to the other party's stumbling words, and the enunciation and pronunciation were very unclear, An Rusong just wanted to hang up. Drop the phone. But after the other party finished speaking, he immediately changed his mind. He vaguely guessed who the other party was.
"I am An Rusong, may I ask who you are." An Rusong replied, but he did not use Korean, but pure English.
Yes, the other party is a foreigner, and he is probably the husband of the foreign girl Jia Silin he met when he met Cui Li'e a while ago.
Sure enough, the person on the phone immediately changed to English and said happily: "Hello, Mr. An, I'm sorry to contact you so late. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Mike Justin. You can call me I’m Mike.”
“Hello, Mr. Mike,” An Rusong greeted in a subtle way.
“Hello,” Mike continued, “It’s like this, my wife, she recommended one of your products to me, oh, my wife’s name is Jaslyn, you have met before "
"Ah, Mrs. Jaslin, of course I remember, and the little angel Irene, haha," An Rusong said with a smile.
"Haha, thank you," Mike thanked him and then said, "Mr. An, I am very interested in the toy you produce called Screaming Chicken. I hope to buy the next one. place an order and will discuss it with you as soon as possible.”
"Thank you very much, Mr. Mike. This is good news for me and the toy factory I work for," An Rusong said. "I can arrange the talks at any time, but I still hope to be able to arrange them in advance." Understand your order quantity and the quality standards you require."
"You're welcome, Mr. An, I believe this order will be a good deal for us. Good business," Mike smiled on the phone. "We hope to get 20,000 pieces for the order quantity. Well, as for the standards, the company I work for is mainly responsible for trade between South Korea and the United States, so the standards of toys must comply with ASTMF963 standards, and the corresponding CPSIA regulations."
After a pause, he continued: "Mr. An has some opinions on these two standards. Do you understand? If not, you can send me an email and I will send it to you later."
"No need," An Rusong said with a smile, "Of course we understand these two. This is a basic standard. In fact, we have already conducted relevant tests before. Whether it is physical performance tests, toxicity, combustion, etc., they are all in line with returning toys. Imported standard. Don’t worry about this, Mr. Mike."
On the other side of the phone, Mike said a few words to someone, and then he spoke quickly and said, "This is really good news. Well, Mr. An, if you don’t mind, I would like to go to your toy factory tomorrow and we can sign this order contract in your office.”
"Of course I don't mind," An Rusong agreed without hesitation. Then, he told the other party the address of the toy factory and then hung up the phone.
After the call with Mike ended, An Rusong walked out of the study immediately. He quickly walked behind the sofa, held Sun Manzhu's face, and kissed her deeply on the lips.
When the passionate kiss was over, he said to the confused Sun Manzhu: "Baby, we have received our first order, 20,000 pieces, and 20,000 pieces are sold to the United States. !”
“Ah!” Sun Manzhu was stunned for a few seconds, and then let out an excited scream.
