Chapter 451: When Colleagues Are in Trouble, They Watch with a Smile

Sincerity, right?

When it's cheap, it's good quality and low price, which is sincerity; when it's expensive, it's full quality, which is still sincerity.

One-track mind becomes two-sided?

Mr. Yang, who was about to take out his notebook to take notes, threw the things in his hand into the trash can.

What notes are there? Isn't the content of this whole video just "the reason for the success of Kuiguang Group is that they are too strong"?

After talking so much, it turns out that I have gone around in a circle and returned to the starting point.

"Sure enough, you can't expect to learn any really useful knowledge from these videos."

In fact, yesterday's Luo Ruying concert was a great success, and all the high-priced souvenirs in the souvenir shop were sold out. For the entire Luo Ruying project, it was just a drop in the bucket.

How could a project that brings together top technologies from home and abroad and a whole floor full of amazingly expensive equipment pay back in just one day? Just think about it.

Not to mention the price of those hardware equipment and the price of hiring those experts from home and abroad, the maintenance and heat dissipation of the equipment alone is an extremely terrifying expense every month.

Because Luo Ruyin is different from some IPs that are played by anime characters. Those characters are called "virtual artists", but they only appear in various works. They only need to add relevant pictures and sign their names in the content of the works.

But Luo Ruyin is completely different. Unless the machine needs to be shut down for maintenance, Luo Ruyin will not only exist in the works, but has her own schedule, can interact at any time, and is a real artist who can be seen and touched.

Even if fans want, they can spend some time to find all the places with holographic projection equipment in Jinhai City, and they will have the opportunity to meet Luo Ruyin and communicate directly with Luo Ruyin's AI.

Just this point alone, Luo Ruyin is essentially different from all other virtual artists.

On stage, the operating cost of a normal-sized Luo Ruyin can be described as sky-high every minute.

Even if the tickets for a concert are full, deducting the venue fee, lighting, logistics and other costs, it is impossible to fill the sky-high price of developing Luo Ruyin.

Moreover, after the system lowered the limit on charity funds, if the income of a concert was too high, he could designate the concert as a charity performance and throw all the income into the charity fund.

What Mr. Yang was most worried about was never the income from a concert.

But after a successful concert, after proving the feasibility of the project, all kinds of troubles would follow.

Dong Dong Dong!

Just as he thought of this, the office door was knocked.

Qi Mu's voice came as expected: "Mr. Yang, do you have time? I have a few projects on hand that need your attention."

Oh no, it's troublesome!

Every time Qi Mu came to visit, he must have brought major troubles.

Yang Ruoqian prepared himself mentally and said, "Is it about Luo Rujin? Come in."

Qi Mu pushed the door open, put the documents on the table, and opened the first document. He was very familiar with the whole action: "Congratulations, Mr. Yang, yesterday's fan meeting and concert were a great success."

"There's nothing to congratulate, let's talk business." Yang Ruoqian was bombarded with congratulations from all walks of life, and quickly signaled the secretary to skip this topic, "Is someone going to propose a cooperation project to us?"

Last night, even the foreign partner Mag expressed his infinite optimism about Luo Rujin's business prospects. No matter how slow others react, they will definitely react after a night.

As long as it is a company that has not offended the group, who doesn't want to sign a contract with Party A like Yang Ruoqian?

Qi Mu replied: "There are many. This morning, the operation department has selected the plans we think are good according to your previous requirements for similar projects and the winners of similar projects. Should I show them to you after I finish reporting my work, or do you want to see them now?"

Yang Ruoqian was surprised: "Are there any other work to report?"

The partners, investors, and advertisers are eager to see Luo Ruying's concert performance, which is Yang Ruoqian's biggest worry - it is not important for the concert to make money, but it is also important that the high-priced souvenirs are snapped up by the big enemies.

The most important thing is that big companies are here to give money!

The Kuiguang Group, which wants to be the first party and throw money crazily, has encountered countless first parties who want to throw money at them, just because of this concert!

Although the video blogger just now concluded that the "Kuiguang Group" is too strong, there is still one thing he said well during the analysis.

Luo Ruying's concert and souvenir sales have expanded the scope of the entire audience group a lot.

Those consumers who are willing to spend hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan on a figurine and are almost obsessed with virtual characters; those players who spend hundreds of dollars on games and tens of thousands on game props, have all been officially included in the group's audience because of this concert.

In other words, the cake of Kuiguang Group has been made bigger again and again without knowing it.

After the cake is bigger, it is difficult not to make money.

There is no need to even think about it. Among the companies that come to the group for cooperation this time, there must be game developers.

"Mr. Yang, the operation has made a simple summary of yesterday's events and future developments. I have considered it for a while and think that the future direction may be slightly more important than the current project. Or do you have other ideas?"

In his previous company, Qi Mu would never have said such a thing.

What is the direction of future development? If she said this to her boss, she would definitely be scolded, or thrown into the wastebasket without any attention at all.

Putting the items with the money directly on the table is the best choice.

As for what the company will develop into in the future, since the boss himself doesn't care, employees have no obligation to care either.

For example, among the cooperation invitations received by operations this morning, there were cooperation invitations from several game developers.

The game cooperation invitation with the highest bid was immediately rejected by the operator without any hesitation.

Because this game is similar to a game like "The Greedy King Blue Moon" where disgusting people pop up from every hidden corner when watching pirated videos on pirated websites.

Although the developers of this type of game pay a lot of money, the quality of the games is hard to describe, and the quality and annoyingness of the advertisements have been criticized by many people.

Think about it, Luo Ruyu's image and temperament, suddenly transformed into a bunch of props and costumes of high quality, and said some embarrassing and incompetent lines, it feels like a drama.

No matter how much money is given, both the operation and Qimu believe that there is no value in cooperation.

It is better to cooperate with games that already have a reputation or have rave reviews.

Such a company has sufficient technical capabilities and sufficient funds to create a tailor-made image for Luo Rujiao that is loved by game players and passers-by, and hire professional screenwriters to design lines.

Such a company can even launch offline physical game gift packages and sell them jointly with Luo Rujie - in this way, although the money does not seem to be that much, it will not damage Luo Rujie's image, and subsequent operations will be less difficult.

It is much better than paying a lump sum of money directly, and the IP will be completely ruined.

Operating a good-tempered, dignified and elegant image takes a long time, requires the efforts of everyone in the company, and requires a lot of creativity, but destroying this image can be accomplished simply.

Due to the strong legal team of Kuaiguang Group and the recent situation of teaming up with the legal team of international IP agencies to defend rights overseas at all costs, these game companies dare not steal Luo Ruyu's image.

But once the contract is signed, they don't have so many worries.

Qi Mu had no intention of telling the operation side how to get rid of the rubbish projects, so he went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Yang, I think we shouldn't be too anxious about related endorsements and sponsorships."

As soon as Yang Ruoqian heard this, he immediately put on a smile on his face and clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I think so too... After all, Luo Ruqian has just made his debut. As soon as he debuted, he started to receive a lot of advertisements and started to use traffic to make money. What he destroyed was Luo Ruyu’s character. Luo Ruyu is the human body of Kuangguang Group. This also destroys our company’s photos.”

"I think that no matter what company's endorsement, advertisement or linkage, there is no need to rush it."

"And some companies that pay more attention to quality and have better reputations also need time to make decisions. After careful consideration, they may also send us a cooperation invitation."

"Things like endorsements can be put on hold for the time being. The company will continue to operate Luo Ruzhen's IP and continue to build a good reputation. Are we still worried about not being able to find a better partner in the future?"

Qi Mu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Yang, the employees on the operations side think so too. They feel that with Luo Ruyan's 'conditions', it is only a matter of time before they want to create a perfect character - —We don’t even need to co-sign with others, Luo Ruyu’s own influence alone is enough to last for a long time.”

Yang Ruoqian sounded a little strange: "My own conditions?"

Aren't you just an airy person? What are your own conditions?

Qi Mu explained: "In terms of singing skills, Luo Ruyu's ability is undoubted and will not be criticized by anyone. The same is true in terms of acting skills. Now, the top priority is actually to release a few more songs that can be called 'classics' ’, or a song that can explode and spread among a certain group of people.”

"You can just decide for yourself on this kind of thing." Yang Ruoqian was not interested in such details. "Just follow your plan. Don't worry about making money now. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

My efforts in "promoting my wealth" to the group's employees for such a long time were not completely in vain.

In the past, they would have signed endorsement contracts with endorsers in accordance with standards.

Although Yang Ruoqian would find ways to filter out these endorsement companies using various criteria and excuses, as long as one fish slips through the net, the impact on the company's financial statements will be extremely terrifying.

It would be great if employees could learn to say no to endorsement deals on their own.

As mentioned later, Mr. Yang didn't even bother to think so much about launching monetization activities step by step after Luo Ruyi's IP was truly stable.

He can't even control a project that only lasts a few months so badly, and it makes no sense to think about what will happen next.

"Yes." Qi Mu nodded, and at the same time continued to speak very responsibly, "So many companies can't wait to sign contracts with us. A large part of the reason is that they think that we invested too much in the early stage. Now after being exposed, Urgent need for blood recovery."

"In the eyes of many people, if a project has huge development costs, huge operation and maintenance costs, and no hope of profitability in a short period of time, it is very likely to be axed."

Many company executives want to cut projects for financial reports, and the project team with overspending will naturally try every possible way to make money to keep their jobs.

Qi Mu paused and continued: "But according to our internal estimates, Luo Ruying's subsequent costs will no longer be as bottomless as the development stage."

"All models are fully formed, the group's big data software is very mature, and the cost of updating operations will gradually decrease in the future."

"As time goes by, the cost of purchasing hardware will gradually be spread out."

"Although the operating costs are still very high now, according to our statistics, Luo Ruying's operating costs will even be lower than Shang Qianyu's in one year at most."

"Because Luo Ruying can rely on AI and her strong interactive ability to firmly maintain fans Silk basic base. These things are completely impossible for real people to do. "

"..."

Listening to the secretary's endless chatter, especially when she emphasized "prospects" and "cost reduction", Yang Ruoqian felt a little headache, and immediately waved her hand to stop: "I know, I know, next!"

Qi Mu was very tactful and didn't read it anymore. He took out the second document and said: "The second thing... is related to our peers."

"Peers?" Yang Ruoqian immediately became excited, but his face remained calm, "Is it Yuefu? Or Tianyue?"

The Kuiguang Group is now a little unstoppable and urgently needs an external opponent to suppress it.

It is really a bit beyond the ability of President Yang to suppress it internally.

Qi Mu shook his head: "Mr. Yang, none of them, but overseas colleagues."

Yang Ruoqian was still interested and asked: "Overseas colleagues? What's the matter?"

"You may not have noticed that a superhero movie that was released not long ago had a box office far lower than the investment, and suffered a heavy blow in the global market." Qi Mu said, "In fact, from the perspective of plot, special effects, character setting and publicity, this movie is on the qualified line, but the box office is still cold."

"Do you know "The Flash"? We actually also refer to this character in "The Black Robe Inspection Team."

When colleagues suffered, they laughed and watched, and Yang Ruoqian commented in a sophisticated way: "Sometimes, it doesn't matter if you don't do anything wrong, but what you do right is important."

Anyway, he was on the shore, so it didn't matter if he said a few words casually.

As for copyright disputes, Yang Ruoqian didn't care at all-because the characters in "The Black Robe Inspection Team" had basically no connection with the prototypes.

Just like the motherland hero and Superman, everyone knows who is the prototype of whom, but can this cause any copyright disputes?

And even if he was really sued, Mr. Yang would be happy.

Qi Mu blinked and reminded: "Boss Yang, this matter is really related to our group."
