Chapter 16 I am from the crew(1/2)
The software Su An wants to sell is Internet cafe management software.
For those who are reborn or time travellers, this should be the most common start!
For this piece of software, Su An didn't want to make a dime from it.
Instead, I want to quickly burn money to sign a contract with an Internet cafe, and then give cash back to the Internet cafe owner by subsidizing game points.
In addition to cash rebates when ordering cards, Su An also plans to give away 200 Internet cafe membership cards for free.
Eventually, it quickly formed a monopoly in the market, and then became an unshakable Internet cafe empire.
People living in 2022 all understand the underlying logic of the Internet.
That is, the number of users comes first and the traffic entrance comes first.
Whoever controls a large number of users will be the king of the Internet world.
And having a huge number of users in your hands means that you have the traffic in your own hands.
If you can quickly capture the market during the months when Internet cafes across the country are closed.
It is equivalent to having millions of computers and tens of millions of Internet users in your hands.
All Internet cafes are now closed. If a software upgrade was offered to Internet cafes at this time, I don’t think many owners would refuse.
The current upgrade will not affect their business.
After all, there is no business to do in the first place, so it is better to take the opportunity to upgrade.
At the same time, in the future, there will be cash rebates in the form of card subsidies, which is equivalent to someone giving money to yourself.
The most important thing is that at this time, Internet cafe management software has not yet become popular on a large scale.
Many Internet cafes still record online time manually.
A piece of software can free their hands and brains.
And you can also open membership services, allowing customers to swipe their cards to access the Internet. This super convenient method will bring a stable source of customers to the Internet cafe.
How could a boss refuse all the above benefits?
After confirming that the toilet was empty, Su An closed the door of the cubicle and opened the Xianyu app on his mobile phone.
Search:Software development customization!
In an instant, a large number of sellers and products were found.
Su An found a seller with large sales volume and good reputation and started communicating directly.
"Hello, I am a crew member of an online TV series due to filming needs.
I want to customize a set of Internet cafe management software. The operating environment of this software is the Internet cafe environment around 2003." Su An perfectly found an identity cover for herself.
"There are many mature management software on the market, you can buy a set!" The seller was very confused. Why should he spend money to customize it when he can just buy it and use it.
What’s even more incredible is that it stands to reason that this kind of film and television crew would go directly to software manufacturers to discuss cooperation.
Not only will it cost you nothing, the software manufacturer will also take the initiative to give you an advertising fee.
In the unlikely event that the TV series becomes popular, the Internet cafe management software that appears here will win an amazingly effective publicity.
"It's like this...
Our TV series is about a programmer who travels back to 2002.
He developed a set of Internet cafe management software himself, and the development process will be shown in the TV series.
So, I'm now talking to you about customized software.
Not just a set of mature products, but also developed semi-finished products for display.
Even if you use a mature product on the market to replace the shell, our crew will accept it, as long as it does not lead to copyright lawsuits.
We have indeed contacted manufacturers on the market, but it seems that we have not reached an agreement.
These are the work of the producer and do not fall within my scope of work.
These are the approximate needs, please make a price here!" After Su An explained his needs, he sent it to him.
"Are there any other specific requirements? It's best to make it clear at once, so that it will be easier for us to develop." The seller thinks that since it is a prop for filming a TV series, he can just crack it and change the shell from the market.
It's nothing more than changing the logo and changing the company name.
However, I then thought that it would be too easy to do this.
You must make the work more complicated, because only in this way can you be embarrassed to ask for high prices.
The other party is a TV series and should have a lot of money for props.
The more demands you have on yourself, the higher your prices will be.
“Internet cafe software includes game categories, online games, stand-alone games, and mini-games.
You should completely change the shell of the mini-games produced after 2004, but you must ensure that the computer configuration of 2002 can run perfectly.
Also, be especially careful not to conflict with the copyright of games before 2003.
Let’s get 50 styles first! I’ll pay you 1,000 yuan for each style.” Su An thought for a moment and casually sent a number.
At this time, although the seller was chatting with Su An, he was still eating takeout.
I can't believe it to death. You can earn 1,000 yuan by reskinning a small game.
"Pfft..." After a mouthful of food, all the food was sprayed onto the phone.
"My dear mother! I know that the entertainment industry makes money, but I didn't expect that the entertainment industry makes so much money.
This kind of work can be done beautifully by just any college student studying computer science.
Not to mention each model costing 1,000 yuan, even 50 models with a total price of 1,000 yuan were accepted." Such a big deal came from the sky, and the seller quickly wiped his mobile phone.
"Okay, no problem at all.
You only need to send me the name and logo of the game company, and I will help you find 50 classic mini-games on the market after 2004.
Other than that, are there any other requirements?
Is there any demand for online games?" The seller just reminded him inadvertently and earned himself 50,000 yuan.
If this buyer buys a few more online games, wouldn't he make a lot of money?
"Online games..." Su An quickly thought about previous games in his mind.
"Do you know "Kart Racing"?" Su An immediately sent the message after thinking about the game.
When the seller received the news, his nose almost burst with joy.
"I know, I know! A game released in 2006."
"What about the game "Bubble Hall"?
However, I heard that the characters in this game had a copyright conflict with Korea." Su An sent another game.
“I know something about copyright conflicts!
Don’t worry, I have an art team who can help you make major changes.” The seller thought of another roommate in his dormitory.
Who would have thought that this seller is a student at school.
A student at school is naturally very happy when faced with a business worth tens of thousands of dollars.
More importantly, this business is not difficult for him at all.
This is simply like giving money away for free.
“For online games, just make these two games first to ensure that there will be no copyright conflicts in the time and space of 2003.
Also, Kart Racing is a 2006 game, so you need to optimize it to ensure it can run smoothly on 2003 computers.
How much do you think is appropriate for these two games?" Su An gave the pricing power to the other party.
After seeing Su An's reply, the seller immediately called out to his roommates.
"Brothers, we are going to make a fortune!
Take a look, take a look...How much should we ask for him?" The seller read the information to his three other roommates.
"50,000!" someone said.
"Damn it, isn't it too dark! This is just a skin change. Even if you want to re-create an in-game character, it doesn't have to be so expensive!" Everyone was shocked when they heard the quotation.
"The asking price is sky-high, and he will pay back the money upon landing! He is a TV drama crew member, so he should not be short of such a small amount of money.
At worst, if he thinks it's too expensive, we can just slowly negotiate the price." After these words were spoken, several people saw the desire for money in each other's eyes.
"Then I'll reply to him..." The seller replied with a price of 50,000 yuan with trembling hands.
One second later, the buyer responded instantly.
"No problem, but you have to test it strictly and there can be no bugs!
However, it is necessary to leave two or three bugs and write down solutions to these bugs.
These are the plots of the male protagonist in the script." In order to make the other party more convinced that they were supplying software to the crew, Su An could only find random reasons.
