Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 248 Do it together with the hardware

The technical team leader in charge of the diskless workstation is Ling Wo, who was the first programmer recruited from the MUD game.

(Ling Wo, guest starred by the reader "Looking at Flowers in the Fog")

There are many technicians like Ling Wo in the company, but there are only a handful of people who are more proficient in LAN architecture-related technologies than him. Therefore, after internal division of labor, he became the leader of the technical team of the diskless workstation.

However, due to Fang Jie's limited time and energy, he later handed over the operation and maintenance of the Internet cafe management system to Ling Wo. Department staff increased from 5 to 20.

These 20 people belong to the official workers of Boiling Game, and are only responsible for the debugging and installation of diskless workstations and the operation and maintenance of the Internet cafe management system. In addition, there are many non-staff personnel in the Internet cafe business department, such as the employees of many hardware vendors in the computer city, who are respectively responsible for network cables. , hard disk, memory, switch, server and other hardware acquisition channels and technical installation.

So don't look at this department as inconspicuous. In fact, although the sparrow is small and complete, once the business is launched on a large scale, not to mention the installation fee, the rebates for the hardware purchases alone will be a big income.

Fang Jie had no time to promote diskless workstations before, and the timing was not too ripe, because the promotion cost was too high. Now that he has an Internet cafe management system, sending out a pop-up advertisement can achieve a very good promotion effect.

The second is the success of Boiling Internet Cafe, which has made a prototype for the diskless workstation, which is the best advertisement for the diskless workstation.

After finding Ling Wo, Fang Jie directly arranged the task: "Next, through the Internet cafe management system, we will fully promote diskless workstations in Jiangcheng, and when the time is ripe, we will promote it to the whole country. Your Internet cafe business department should further expand the number of recruits, train Be familiar with the installation, otherwise you may not be busy when the time comes."

Ling Wo has no objection to this, but just mentioned his own idea: "In fact, we can also do hardware."

Fang Jie thought for a while, and decided to listen to the other party's specific thoughts: "Tell me."

Ling Wo said: "Now the number of newly opened Internet cafes across the country is increasing, and the scale is also growing. In provincial capital cities like Jiangcheng, new Internet cafes basically start with 60 computers."

"If an Internet cafe is going to be a diskless workstation, then the computer configuration must meet the corresponding requirements. As for the specific requirements... it is not up to us to decide? We said we want to get a 1000M LAN cable, but they dare not get a 100M LAN cable. We said What kind of network card to use, they must also do it. We say that the memory must meet the standard, then it must meet this standard..."

"So, while doing diskless workstations, we can also sell hardware and grab the business from Computer City. We can directly contact hardware manufacturers to get the goods. One Internet cafe has 50-100 computers, and 10 have 500-1000 computers. .The market is huge and the profits are huge, so there is no need to let it out!"

Fang Jie's eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea was really good.

He has too many layouts now, and he can only control the general direction. The specific details of each direction and the deeper ways to make money are often ignored or unexpected.

Previously, Shang Xiaoqiong’s suggestion of intra-city logistics, as well as Lingwo’s idea now, can be regarded as a useful supplement to a certain direction. As long as these people are willing to exert their subjective initiative and take the initiative to expand their business, he is of course happy to see them Cheng is also very supportive.

"In principle, I agree to this matter. If you need any resources or conditions, you can directly mention it to me. But..."

After thinking for a while, Fang Jie said: "But how to solve the problem of agency rights? The hardware vendors in the computer city are all provincial agents, which cost money. If we go directly to the manufacturer to get the goods, it will violate the industry regulations, and the manufacturer may not agree. This is a breach of contract."

Ling Wo chuckled: "I've thought of this a long time ago. We conduct business promotion and sales through the Internet cafe management system, so it belongs to the nature of online agency sales, so there is no conflict of agency rights. We have the network agency rights!"

Hearing this, Fang Jie couldn't help smiling, pointed at the other party and scolded with a smile: "You are playing with words..."

"No, I learned this from you, the boss." Ling Wo said without blushing and heartbeat: "The copyright of Jin Yong's novels, didn't you just get an online copyright? There is also the sale of mobile phone recharge cards, 51ka also got one The identity of the general agent of the Internet? Why can’t our computer hardware be an Internet agent?”

Fang Jie was taken aback for a moment, feeling that it made sense.

At present, there is no such thing as online copyright and online agency right. Why did Mr. Jin sell the online copyright so simply for a copyright fee of 100 million? This is the reason. Everyone now has no awareness of online copyright and online sales right.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Fang Jie finally said, "Since you proposed this matter, I will leave it to you... By the way, when cooperating with hardware manufacturers, you can find some Hardware talents are recruited, and in the future, the boiling game of computer hardware may have a bigger layout.”

"understand!"

Ling Wo was overjoyed immediately, and understood the meaning of the boss' words.

This obviously implies to him that if this business is started and done well, the boss will continue to increase the size of this business, and even make it into an industry. At that time, he, the number one hero, will definitely not be treated badly.

In fact, according to Fang Jie's plan, the hardware industry must be laid out, but he can't take care of it for the time being, and he doesn't want to say too much, for fear of frightening Ling Wo, but seeing the other party like this, it is obvious that he has great ambitions. Then it will be easy, let Ling Wo go to toss and toss first, maybe there will be surprises.

After Ling Wo left, administrative assistant Zhang Ying came in with dark circles under her eyes, holding a stack of documents: "Mr. Fang, the financial statement for last month has been prepared."

In the past, Boiling Games did not have any so-called financial statements, and it was impossible to have them, because before Boiling Games was just a grassroots team, and there were only expenditures and no income. Fang Jie used the money he earned from various channels to keep transfusing blood into it , It doesn't make much sense to make a report or not.

Now after a round of recruitment, many affairs of Boiling Game Company are gradually on the right track, and the plate has become big, so it must be formalized.

After receiving the report, he glanced at it roughly, and it showed that the total revenue of boiling games this month was more than 3400 million.

Among them, more than 1700 million is the income brought by the "Wulin" monthly card.

The remaining 1600 million is the "Cross Fire" development fee and QQ promotion fee transferred from Tencent, and 100 million is the business income of the IDC data center.

As for other industries, such as 51ka, Boiling Internet Cafe, Boiling Real Estate, Boiling Fast Food, Boiling Milk Tea, Boiling Overseas Game Studios, Boiling MUD Game Station, etc., the industry income is not included.

As for the tax amount, it is currently zero.

Because Boiling Game is an Internet company, a high-tech company, and a college student entrepreneurial enterprise, under the current policy, any one of them can enjoy tax exemption.

Then glance at the total payout: -7100 million.

In other words, the loss is 3700 million, so even if there is no tax exemption, the 3400 million in the account is actually the previous investment and the company's daily reasonable expenses, and there is no tax to pay after deducting it.
