Chapter 6 Black Cloud Games
While He Mingcheng and Bao Zixuan were discussing the formation of the company, they called the front desk just now to act as a temporary secretary and began to record the content and minutes of their conversation.
He Mingcheng: "Uncle He, although you are a small lawyer, you can still solve some legal issues for you. What kind of game company do you want to set up, but as far as I know, RB and American companies have advantages in this regard. There is no company in this area in Xiangjiang, and game development talents are not easy to find."
Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry! Uncle He, I am a talent in this field. I will handle the initial development myself, and follow-up will recruit people according to the company's development."
He Mingcheng: "It's good if you are confident, then fine! What do you need me to do?"
Bao Zixuan: "I mainly hope Uncle He can help me register the company. It would be too slow for me to do it myself; and the patents generated during the development period need Uncle He to help me register globally. The most important thing at present is that Uncle He helps me find the factory. , and the relevant staff also need your cooperation with Uncle He to recruit."
He Mingcheng: "You kid will ask me to do something for you; it's okay, there's no problem with that. But what are your requirements for the factory, and how much do you plan to invest!"
Bao Zixuan: "At the moment, as long as you can assemble the arcade machine, you can see the development in the future! 500-100 million Hong Kong dollars. For the staff, just put up the office shelf first."
He Mingcheng: "What's the name of the company! Where is the office!"
Bao Zixuan: "The name is Heiyun Game Company, but you still have to help me register Heiyun Electronic Technology, Heiyun Entertainment, Heiyun Real Estate, Heiyun Medicine, etc. For now, that's all!"
He Mingcheng: "You kid is very ambitious! I'll see if you have the ability! Don't let me down! President Bao!" Hahaha
Bao Zixuan: "How come Uncle He has entered the role of a lawyer now! But my brother is clear, I will trouble you a lot this year, so let's sign a one-year agency contract. During the year, as our company's legal counsel, The basic fee is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the commission is based on the contract amount, how about it!"
He Mingcheng: "You don't need to pay the contract commission. It's not easy if you are just starting out. If you develop well, just give me a red envelope. If you don't need 100,000, just 60,000."
Bao Zixuan: "Then I will thank Uncle He. Then prepare the contract!"
He Mingcheng: "You kid, come with me for real! All right!" After speaking, he asked the interim secretary to change the contract according to what was just said, mainly to add the amount of money.
After Bao Zixuan saw that there was no problem with the contract amount, he immediately wrote a check for 30,000 Hong Kong dollars and handed it to He Mingcheng. After seeing him hand over the check, He Mingcheng naturally received it. This is business. Lawyers sell services. No matter how good the relationship is, they must follow the rules. However, He Mingcheng did not receive a commission from the contract, which made him regret it countless times in the next year.
After talking with He Mingcheng, Bao Zixuan rejected He Mingcheng's invitation to lunch; he was going to the computer market alone, and no idea, no matter how well equipped, could become reality. In this era, home computers have not yet become popular, and Apple only launched the Apple 2 computer in April this year, that is, three months ago. It can be said that this is the first personal computer in human history. But there is still no sales in Hong Kong. And to make games, especially games that use computer programming, there is a company that has always been a topic that cannot be avoided—ibm, the absolute overlord of this era. Although Apple has developed rapidly in the era of smart phones, now Apple and IBM cannot be said to be rivals at all, which is simply too high for Apple.
After Bao Zixuan asked about the address, he came to IBM's sales outlet in Xiangjiang. Although there are very few industries that use computers in Hong Kong, and the sales in Hong Kong are very general, IBM's sales outlet in Hong Kong is still in the most prosperous area in Central. Seeing that there are only a few computers in the hall with 2,000 square feet, it was only at this time that I felt the richness and wealth of IBM.
When Bao Zixuan walked into the exhibition hall, a beautiful blonde walked over immediately. It seems that ibm's sales are still giving priority to recruiting Europeans and Americans. Since the salesperson speaks English, he can only communicate with the other party in English.
In the past life, Bao Zixuan lived in London for 13 years, and he also has two years of living experience in London in this life. Moreover, most of the engineers and executives of Rolls-Royce are British, which makes Bao Zixuan's English naturally have a strong London accent. You must master not only English, but also German, French, Japanese, and Russian. If you look at translation materials, you can't keep up with Rolls-Royce's footsteps. Aeroengine papers are mainly concentrated in these languages.
After hearing that Bao Zixuan was so authentic with a strong London accent, the sales staff felt that the opportunity had come. The person in front of him must be a Hong Kong native who has lived in the UK for a long time. In this era, very few people in Hong Kong bought computers, and the main sales were foreign companies in Hong Kong. But returning from abroad is different; they are also a potential buyer group.
Hearing the sales staff introduce the performance of computers in this era, Bao Zixuan felt a little broken. The performance of the most advanced large-scale computer here is only 6/10,000 of that of the notebook computer in the previous life, but in this era, IBM can meet its own requirements! After looking at it for a while, I spent $16,000 to buy a small computer according to my actual needs, and it will be delivered to my home after a while. In addition, I spent more than 40,000 US dollars to order a medium-sized industrial computer! Still a simplified version. It will take about a week to reach Xiangjiang. And the price is only calculated in US dollars, but Bao Zixuan still took the 10,000 pounds paid by the airline, and they still accepted it. The British pound is very recognized in this era. In this way, according to the exchange rate, he only needs to pay about 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
I spent more than 400,000 yuan in half a day after I came out. It seems that my money is not enough for anything. UU reading www.uukanshu.com plan to be implemented quickly! When he left the IBM sales showroom, Bao Zixuan had a note in his hand, which was the contact information of the saleswoman. However, I don't have the energy to think about this at the moment, so I politely put it in my pocket and say goodbye.
After the people from ibm put the computer into the truck, they politely took Bao Zixuan with him when they saw that he was not driving! After all, there are very few people in this era who can spend more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars at a time. Following Bao Zixuan's instructions, he quickly arrived downstairs in Taiguocheng District, where two staff members moved the computer to his room with a trolley. Bao Zixuan refused the installation of the other party, after all, he was someone who had installed a large computer in his previous life. If such a little guy can't handle it, it would be a joke, but still give each person 100 Hong Kong dollars as a service fee.
After the two left, Bao Zixuan began to dismantle the computer case; and followed the installation instructions step by step to complete the installation, he didn't want to capsize in the gutter. The computers of this era are still very different from those of later generations, but the basic operating principles are still the same. So in less than an hour he had installed everything he needed and debugged it.
When I started to write some practical software when I was familiar with computer performance, I forgot to clean it up. When Li Yulin returned home and saw that the living room was full of boxes, she knew that her precious son must be back, and put the boxes in the utility room without complaint. After Li Yulin moved to Taikoo Shing, she gave Bao Zixuan the master bedroom, the largest room. She always thought that it would be more troublesome to move around if the child got married in the future; it can be seen that a mother is always looking for her son.
It wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening, when Li Yulin was making dinner, that she knocked on the door and asked Bao Zixuan to eat; and until then, she never had the heart to disturb him!
