Chapter 331

In addition to the original planned machinery factory that was converted into the second engine factory, the new factory also has a foundry, an engine R&D center, a chip R&D center and a factory.

The foundry solved the problem of poor casting process of parts purchased from other companies, and provided parts support for the engine that Zou Hai subsequently designed.

After Zou Hai and others moved into the engine research and development center, Mu Bai gave them the task of designing diesel engines and electric engines, as well as enriching the models of gasoline engines.

For the chip research and development center, Mu Bai has already laid out the layout for a long time. The design of the chip and the lithography machine imported from Qi State have all been prepared, and a batch of chips have been produced before the construction of the factory is completed. There are already salesmen out to find it. market.

The two motorcycle engine companies that joined the "Engine Industry Association" first got the benefits of joining the association.

The Engine R&D Center designed a new motorcycle engine for them. At least it is the highest quality engine in China, but the cost is the same as the engine they produced before.

Guoyun doesn't have the energy to produce these small engines, but it doesn't mean they don't have the means to speak in this regard.

Not only the design drawings come from Guoyun, but also the key parts are purchased from Guoyun.

As long as the two companies pay not too high design fees, they can ask Guoyun's engineers to help them modify the production line and start mass production.

This not only strengthened the position of the engine research and development center in the "engine industry association", but also allowed foundries and parts factories to receive many orders.

Then, the next step is to prepare for entering the communications industry.

In addition, the branch factory in Qin State has been built, because Qin State’s industry suffered a certain impact before, Ma Jingping found that many factories were for sale when he went to Qin State for inspection.

So the branch directly bought a large factory, and after simple modifications, it was put into production in early May.

At the same time, Guoyun is still building a factory in Zhengguo. There are no large factories for sale here and can only be built by ourselves. It is estimated that it will not be put into production until the second half of the year.

In terms of the layout of the branch factory, Mu Bai did not spread out the entire industrial chain. In addition to building an engine factory in Qin, he also built an engine parts factory.

In Zheng Guo, only one engine factory was built, and the foundry that mastered many alloy formulas has never "goed abroad".

In the future, Mu Bai intends to use this arrangement to build different factories in different countries, so as not to be caught by the net.

However, the branch office in Zheng State was established very quickly, because the two countries have not established diplomatic relations, and the conditions for Guofeng to open a branch office in Zheng State are very strict.

Mu Bai went to the Gyeonggi Prefecture to find Ji Yuanhun, and the matter of finding the second prince to come forward went smoothly.

After about half a month of preparations for Zheng Guo's branch, Guofeng.com branches and comics business were opened to the people of Zheng Guo.

Soon Xiaoya discovered that the comics, novels, games, etc. in the Zheng Guo branch were all very popular, but the number of downloads of songs was not very large.

After further investigation, Xiaoya quickly discovered that Zheng Guo's cultural industry was somewhat deformed.

Of course, this may also be the strategy of Grand Duke Zheng Guo, to concentrate superior forces to develop music culture, which makes Zheng Guo's music quite competitive in the international arena, but other industries are not as good.

The rapid development of Guofeng Company has attracted more and more attention. Who would have thought that Guofeng, which was still unknown last year, has opened branches everywhere this year!

At the same time, everyone is amazed by the fact that Guofeng's output is also quite amazing. In November last year, it just released a movie called "My Neighbor Totoro" and it started promoting the new movie in May.

Guofeng didn't look for investors this time, but he was looking for distributors. After all, Mu Bai didn't have the energy to build theaters and contact major film and television companies.

In order to find a publisher, Mu Bai posted a notice seeking cooperation on Guofeng.com. Since the results of "My Neighbor Totoro" were there, three of the most influential publishers in the country soon came to seek cooperation.

After Mu Bai passed the selection, he decided to cooperate with Fengzhan Film and Television Distribution Company.

First of all, this publishing company has nothing to do with Mingyang Group, and among the three, Ming's publishing company was the first to be excluded by Mu Bai.

In addition, in order to promote cooperation with Guofeng, Feng Zhan offered a huge concession of [-]-[-] split, which made Mu Bai feel their sincerity.

Generally speaking, the distributor gets the lion's share of a movie's revenue. Just like the box office of "My Neighbor Totoro", Guofeng only got 16% in the end.

This is also the reason why Mu Bai is willing to find investors again even though Guoyun is using money and the branch company is also in a hurry to spend money.

After finalizing the publisher, the promotion of "Harry Potter" officially started.

Because this time it is a 3D movie, it is much more troublesome than the previous "My Neighbor Totoro". The production of the movie has not yet been completed, and now it can only be expected to be released in August.

However, according to the news released by Guofeng.com, the new game "Jin Wen Wang Conquers Hegemony" will be released from the end of June to the beginning of July.

For a while, domestic software mall companies came to Guofeng to cooperate with them. Except for the two companies that they often cooperated with before, several other Guofeng asked them for a sales right fee of 50 yuan.

Several companies said that Guofeng was stealing money.

However, Yang Wenjun found out for them the old account that these software stores asked Guofeng for advertising fees when Guofeng released "Xiangwang Fengyunlu".

Mu Bai once issued an explicit order that this sales right fee must be paid. Although Guofeng is now strong, they still remember who helped Guofeng when the country was weak, and who made trouble.

Several software malls had no choice but to hold their noses to admit it, and paid sales rights fees one after another.

When Guofeng announced the release of "The Legend of King Mu", they came here once. When they heard that they would get so much money, they all gave up. Only one family paid the fee ruthlessly.

At that time, several other software malls laughed at the companies that paid the fee for being stupid, but turned around and made a lot of money, and those software malls that didn't pay the fee suddenly couldn't laugh.

"King Jin Wen's Dominance" is definitely another very popular game. If they can no longer obtain the right to sell it, their market share will shrink, and they will have no choice but to follow the requirements of Guofeng.

In addition, the software mall companies in Jin and Qin also came to Guofeng for cooperation. They all remembered the scene when "The Legend of King Mu" was released during the Spring Festival.

Especially in the state of Jin, because most people don't know much about this game, no one seeks cooperation.

So much so that the download page of the Guofeng.com branch crashed seven times in one day, and Guofeng.com had to limit the flow to ensure unimpeded downloading.

This is unique in the state of Jin. Other websites are eager to increase downloads and click-through rates. Who will limit the traffic?
From this aspect, it reflects the popularity of "The Biography of King Mu".

And the current "Jin Wen Wang Domination" is a game based on Jin Wen Wang, and Jin Guo will definitely be more popular than "Mu Wang Biography", so the software distribution companies of Jin State came to seek cooperation.

Inside Guofeng.com, a mature production process has been formed. After the design team completes the main design, it will immediately go to Weiguo's branch to do research and determine the theme of the next game.

At the same time that "Jin Wenwang Conquers" was being produced in Fu Fengmao's studio, the design work for the new game had also begun.

This process ensures the output of Guofeng, and Mu Bai estimates that one or two more games will be released this year.

For the release and release of new games and new movies, Mu Bai has been looking forward to it for a long time, because he has run out of money again.

The establishment of a branch requires money, and the expansion of the studio requires money. The most important thing is that Guoyun, the gold-swallowing beast, uses more and more money.

Although Guoyun's engine industry and its three studios have made a lot of money, compared to his expenses, the money earned is not enough, and Mu Bai still needs constant capital injection.

This is a situation that Mu Bai is happy to see, the current Guoyun is the time to spend money, if Ma Jingping says that there is no place to spend money now, then there is a problem.

Seeing that there are many projects that need money, and there are more than half a month before the release of the game, Mu Bai was worried about where to raise funds, and suddenly received an order from the Hongwen Museum, asking him to participate in a week in the Chu Kingdom The opening music exchange event.

This kind of music exchange activity, like the song conference, is a form of semi-literary warfare, and it is a platform for countries to "show their muscles".

The difference is that in the song conference, there are parties who invite the war, and there are parties who challenge the war. Similar to the song conference at Chengdukou, Qin State is the party that invites the war, Chu State is the party that challenges the war, and other countries are basically foils.

Unlike music exchange activities, everyone has no obvious enemies, at most there are some imaginary enemies.

However, we must try our best to achieve good results in such activities, especially for several hegemonic countries. They cannot be too weak compared to other hegemonic countries, otherwise their hegemonic status will be shaken.

Mu Bai asked the staff who came to send the transfer order: "Is there any bonus for making meritorious service in such an event?"

This question stunned the staff. The transfer order issued by the Hongwen Museum has always been a great honor among the people. It was the first time someone asked if there was a bonus.

He cleared his throat and said: "If the song can be released at the exchange meeting, it will be made into a commemorative album and released, which will generate some copyright income.

"Of course, participating in such a grand event and being able to communicate with the world's top singers and lyricists is a huge benefit in itself.

"I'm still working for the country, for the Hongwen Museum, and can increase my own exposure."

Mu Bai said "Oh" with some disappointment. If it was a world-class art exchange meeting, he would be very willing to participate.

However, he was really not interested in the music exchange meeting. After all, until now, his main achievement in music was "moving".

However, Hongwen Museum's status in Zhou State is similar to that of the military, and their transfer order cannot be refused.

Mu Bai called Ding Xiyan, and after confirming that it was not Ming Honglang's conspiracy, he said that he would follow the arrangement of the transfer order, but he asked Gu Boying to go to Chu State with him.

The staff almost slammed the door out. It was the first time he had sent transfer orders several times before, made requests, and called to inquire.

But Mu Bai's request is not something he can decide, he has to go back and ask for instructions.

It wasn't until the next day that he called Mu Bai and told him that Mu Bai's request had been approved.

Before gathering in Gyeonggi Prefecture, the expansion of Guofeng Company was completed. The company added two workshops converted from large factories and a large office building.

A lot of effort has been put into the new decoration, and the original overgrown yard has become a grove full of green plants, and the factory buildings and office buildings that have lost their walls have also taken on a new look.

Finally, everyone's office space is no longer so crowded. The administrative unit has its own office building, and the groups no longer need to be crowded together. There is not even a place to turn around.

In the warehouse that was originally used as a studio, only the program group and the network group remained, with only a few dozen people in total.

In the extra space, Mu Bai equipped them with a tea room and a conference room.

After the expansion, the company finally has its own restaurant. It no longer has to squeeze into a few round tables to eat. If you arrive late, you won't even have a place, and you can only wait for the second wave.

With free space, Mu Bai dared to let the mural painting teams formed by branches from various countries come to Weicheng Mansion for training. The walls of the new company are so big that they can paint them.

In addition, Mu Bai specially set aside half a floor for the human resources department to train the cadres of the branch and for the learning of the employees.

In addition to the manpower training of Guofeng, it is also responsible for the talent training of Guoyun. After all, Guoyun is developing at a high speed. After the factory is built, it will not work without supporting management personnel.

Thanks to Di Caiwei, among the second batch of people she brought, there were a large number of corporate executives, which allowed Ma Jingping to have a large number of experienced managers available when he took over Guoyun.

Otherwise, relying on poaching and self-cultivation, Mu Bai would never dare to spread out such a large stall. The lack of management personnel will make the entire enterprise uncontrollable.

After the company's internal move was completed, Mu Bai and Gu Boying went to Gyeonggi Prefecture to gather.

The two were able to enter the legendary Hongwen Hall and communicate with the top composers and singers in the country.

Every brick and tile of Hongwen Hall has historical heritage, and Mu Bai also likes the academic atmosphere here.

In particular, painters can be seen everywhere. Under the shade of a tree, there is often an old man with a beard sitting, making a pot of tea and painting selflessly.

The paintings were all flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the bricks, tiles, and stone pillars were ordinary things, but they were so extraordinary that Mu Bai didn't even want to go inside.

And Gu Boying was attracted by the sounds of singing or musical instruments that floated in at any time. The entire Hongwen Hall, a huge building complex, seemed to be immersed in the ocean of art.

At this time, Mu Bai really saw the cultural heritage of this world, which is very different from Mu Bai's previous world.

In the previous world, once an artist was kept in captivity, he was useless.

But here, because of the literary war, the artist has to keep creating, but instead has a strange sense of beauty.

After passing through several doors, Mu Bai and Gu Boying arrived at the gathering place under the leadership of the staff.

In a small hall, more than 20 people have gathered, all of whom are well-known figures in the domestic music industry, and most of them are bachelors or senior students.

This should be the main force participating in this exchange meeting. Obviously Zhou Guo attaches more importance to this exchange meeting than the previous song conference.

Mu Bai and Gu Boying are not afraid of the stage. After all, they also competed with the bachelors on last year's "New Ranking".

　Thanks [I Shout Out Loud] for the upvote.
