Chapter 432: Figure it out (second update)

Others in the maintenance department drew according to the model made by Liu Hai and made samples according to this style.

This is actually a set of wearable accessories. There is no high technical difficulty. It all depends on the design.

The manufacturing difficulty does not need to be too high.

"Director, I have a work report for you!" Liu Hai decided to take the people from the maintenance department to Hainan, so he handed over the work to other people in the maintenance department and came to the factory director.

Sun Aiguo was very busy here and had a lot of things to deal with, but when he saw bangs, he waved his hand and asked others to wait.

Sun Aiguo's secretary quickly made tea for Liu Hai and then closed the door and stood guard outside.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, and don't report anything." Sun Aiguo personally put the teacup in front of Liu Hai and said.

"Director, I am going to Hainan for a few days this time, and I also want to bring the rest of our maintenance department with me." Liu Hai took the tea cup with both hands and then said.

When Sun Aiguo heard this, he sighed and said, "You are good enough to your subordinates. This matter is no problem. How long will it take for you guys to leave? By plane or by train?"

"Take the train. You can feel the vastness of our motherland." Liu Hai has an inexplicable insecurity about airplanes.

The main reason is that in the past life, some aircraft companies simply looked down upon human life.

Just like the Bo Max, it was an old aircraft that was modified blindly and passed off as a new design. However, after the modification, there was a shortcoming, that is, the nose of the plane would tilt upward, so they added a system to control the nose of the plane. Down.

But he doesn't tell others about this system, because if he did, he would have to add instructions and many pilots would have to retrain.

As a result, it caused several major air crashes. Of course, this was also a milestone in aircraft manufacturing.

"The train can coordinate at any time. How long do you plan to leave?" Sun Aiguo heard Liu Hai's words and did not question anything.

"On the third day of the Lunar New Year, and then come back on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year!" Liu Hai thought for a moment and decided that he would still spend the Spring Festival at home.

"No problem, I'll prepare a soft-sleeper carriage for you. There are many trains going there every day." Sun Aiguo didn't ask Liu Hai how many people he planned to take, and directly gave him a carriage.

Liu Hai said quickly: "Thank you, leader, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Go." Sun Aiguo nodded. The New Year is coming soon, and there are indeed a lot of things to do.

After Liu Hai returned to the maintenance department, he did not announce it immediately. Instead, he waited for lunch to gather everyone together.

"I will use my lunch break today to tell you something!" Everyone was curious about what Liu Hai was going to say. After all, Liu Hai, the section chief, did not often say anything in meetings.

"Section Chief, if you have anything to do, just give me an order!" Gou Rong said from the side.

"The factory leaders saw that we were working very hard, so they gave us a special benefit, which was a seven-day holiday during the Chinese New Year and took everyone to travel to Hainan." Liu Hai directly described this as a benefit from the leadership.

"Section Chief, is this true?" Li Dali and others looked at each other in disbelief.

"Of course it's true, and you can bring your family members. Of course, my personal suggestion is to bring your spouse and children. After all, our department is going on a trip, so it's better not to make this matter public." Liu Hai said again.

There are only these people in the Bangs Maintenance Department. There have been no newcomers in these years. These people are all married.

"We listen to the section chief and take our spouse and children with us!" Li Dali said first. After all, the section chief must have a reason for saying this.

"We will leave on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I will inform you of the specific arrangements before the holiday." Liu Hai nodded.

The main reason is that there are many brothers and sisters now. If we are allowed to bring other family members, there may be more than a dozen people in the family.

"Remember, don't tell anyone about this matter. I will take you to more places when I have the opportunity in the future!" Liu Hai said to everyone again.

"Section Chief, we will never say anything." Li Dali and others have a high sense of confidentiality, so they naturally know that the entire department is traveling to the same place, and it is thousands of kilometers away.

It was definitely suggested by my section chief. It was impossible for the factory leaders to arrange it because there were so many departments in the factory. How could they arrange it?

Li Dali and others went back at night and whispered about this matter to their lovers, who were also very excited.

Liu Hai thought about it for a while and came to the teacher's side at noon the next day.

"Teacher, do you have any plans for the New Year?" When he came to Zhu Haiyang's side, he found that the teacher had also eaten and was resting.

"I'm resting at home during the Chinese New Year. Do you have any plans there?" Zhu Haiyang knew what Liu Hai had planned as soon as he heard Liu Hai's words.

"On the third day of the Lunar New Year, we are going to Hainan for a few days. Everyone in our department is going, and they all have their families with them. The factory director has prepared a sleeper car." Liu Hai said.

"Then count us as a family." Zhu Haiyang knew what was going on and said decisively.

"Teacher, you are busy. I have to go to the master's place to have a look." Liu Hai was also going to ask Yang Hehua.

"Okay, your itinerary has been arranged, just give me a call." Zhu Haiyang nodded.

Liu Hai came to the master and asked. The master was also willing to go, and they went as an old couple.

On the third day, Liu Hai reported the statistical list to Sun Aiguo. As for Wang Hongmei from his hometown, there will be many opportunities in the future.

Liu Hai is busy preparing for a trip to Hainan after the new year.

The dealer on Hong Kong Island had a discussion and planned to take the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to come to the north for a walk.

The principals of several dealer families in Hong Kong naturally know what the Spring Festival means to the north. Of course, this matter must first obtain the consent of the north.

The superior department received this information and reported it to the superior immediately.

"Leader, they are here to talk about other things this time. They also want to interview Comrade Liu Hai on some issues." The leader in charge of the foreign affairs department in the superior leader's study reported this matter.

The superior leader shook off the cigarette ashes and then asked: "Why did they meet Comrade Liu Hai?"

"According to the news from over there, they want to talk more about the profit distribution of the Autobots cartoon. To put it simply, they will give up more benefits themselves and let Comrade Liu Hai get more benefits. We are here The border remains basically unchanged," explained the leader in charge of the foreign affairs department.

Then he explained: "We have collected information from abroad. Authors and screenwriters like Comrade Liu Hai can get more than 10% of the entire box office. Of course, this does not include toy patent licensing. Toy patent licensing fees can be obtained To about 20%, there are examples of these abroad.”

After the leader finished speaking, he handed the information in his hand to the superior leader.

The superior leaders carefully looked at the various profit distributions related to animated movies abroad.

"Comrade Liu is not only the author but also the screenwriter and the original artist of this cartoon, so he can get more box office share. The soul of a cartoon is the characters and plot. It can be said that Comrade Liu Hai has already I have completed most of the work for the entire cartoon, and the rest is work with little technical content.”

The superior leader looked at the various examples collected above, nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water: "Since they are willing to give up the profits to Comrade Xiao Liu, of course it is a good thing."

"The other thing is that they decommissioned a large ship and asked us if we have any related needs." The leader of the foreign affairs department reported again and handed over another piece of information.

The superior leader looked at this information for a long time before saying: "This big ship is not suitable for us. On the one hand, we do not have supporting software and hardware facilities. Secondly, the performance of this big ship is somewhat backward. Thirdly, now we It needs to develop in a low-key manner and does not need big ships to expand its global influence.”

"It's a good start. Let's keep a low profile at this time and spend money on industry. In the future, we will build ships that are more suitable for ourselves."

The leader in charge of the foreign affairs department nodded, naturally knowing that the world is a bit chaotic now, and the two big brothers have begun to compete in various fields.

"Then let Comrade Xiao Liu meet with them secretly." The superior leader finally agreed.

At ten o'clock in the morning on January 24, 1971, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Hai got up from the kang with difficulty, looked at Comrade Wang Hongmei who was sleeping soundly on his side, and covered her with a quilt.

"These dealers are real!" Liu Hai was going back to the city to attend a meeting today, and it was a Hong Kong dealer who wanted to meet with him.

After putting on the bangs, he opened the door and came out. There was already a van waiting outside the yard.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Inside the van were people from the factory security office. They were all acquaintances. Liu Hai said after getting in the car that he had worked hard all his life.

"Liu Gong, you are so polite. We will also benefit from you on the third day of the Lunar New Year." The security guard responsible for protecting Liu Hai chuckled.

"This is arranged by the leadership meeting!" Liu Hai also waved his hand.

Liu Hai ate in the factory at noon, while the people in the maintenance department were still at work.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Hai and Sun Aiguo secretly arrived in a van where the dealers lived.

I have to say that the heads of these noble families are different from what Liu Hai imagined.

In Liu Hai's impression, he should be a bald and obese old man, but he didn't expect that the other person was neither bald nor obese, but always a bit older.

However, strict etiquette training can still be seen in his words and actions.

"Comrade Liu, nice to meet you!" After the five old men entered the door, people from the foreign affairs department introduced Liu Hai and Sun Aiguo. Several people spoke to Liu Hai in less than standard Mandarin and shook hands with Liu Hai.

"I'm very happy too." Liu Hai didn't dare to say anything nonsense now. This thing will definitely be remembered by others, and he acted neither humble nor arrogant.

The meeting place was more like a tea box. Several old men looked at the young bangs with great satisfaction.

For these nobles, a young genius obviously has more investment value than an older genius.

"Comrade Liu, I really like your design of the Hornet sports car. It can be said that it has completely subverted our impression of you." An old man said.

Liu Hai didn't know the names of these people very well, at least he hadn't heard of them in his previous life.

However, Liu Hai knew very little about these nobles in his previous life. Of course, these nobles might have declined in his previous life, and when he was born in his previous life, these old guys might have died long ago.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Liu Hai didn't want to say too much. "I wonder if Comrade Liu has any other hobbies? I heard that Comrade Liu likes to collect wine?" Another old man's attitude towards Liu Hai was not surprising. After all, this genius has not had much contact with the outside world.

"I like some antiques, which represent the continuation of culture. When you see an antique, you will imagine the person who made it, as if it was yesterday." Liu Hai said with some confusion.

"Yes, antiques can represent the culture of a country, and they can also reflect the heritage of a country's civilization."

Liu Hai nodded and said, "Wine is also a small hobby of mine."

"Comrade Liu, the second part of the Autobot animated movie is the plan we have proposed. I wonder what your opinion is." The dealer simply came to meet Liu Hai and show his goodwill to Liu Hai.

"I obey the organization's arrangements!" Liu Hai said directly without even looking at the information.

There is no need to look at the bangs of this thing, and I won’t put money in my pocket now anyway.

Sun Aiguo remained silent on the side, and nodded slightly to this method of dealing with bangs.

The dealer nodded, and then Liu Hai said: "As for the Autobot toy, I have already made a sample here, but this place is not convenient for display."

"Of course no problem!" Several old men expressed their interest.

So Liu Hai took several old men to the back door.

"Oh my god!"

"God!" When he walked out of the courtyard gate, the three-meter-tall Autobot Bumblebee built by Liu Hai was standing in the snow.

Several dealers jumped in fright, mainly because they suddenly saw such a steel monster.

Bangs waved his hand, and then the Autobot suddenly struck a pose, and at the same time the marquee lights on his body also lit up.

"Amazing!"

"This thing doesn't look like a product of human beings!" Several dealers were shocked when they saw that this thing could still move.

"This is a sample, and it can be worn by people." Liu Hai said, and the Bumblebee Autobot took off the helmet, and there was a big man inside.

"This kind needs to be ordered in large quantities!" The dealers gathered around, studied this carefully, and said.

"The sample is made of aluminum alloy, and we will prepare it to be made of fiberglass or plastic in the future."

"The only drawback to this thing now is that it's too heavy."

"In addition, we will equip these mechas with more weapons."

"Of course I have others here!" Liu Hai nodded to Sun Aiguo again.

Sun Aiguo quickly took out some drawings from the bag next to him.

"Everyone, look at the armor of the Knights of the Round Table that I designed. The overall proportions are similar to what you have seen." The Knight of the Round Table drawn by Liu Hai has silver armor, a blue cloak with a gold coat of arms, and a holy sword in his hand.

The silver armor also has a golden crest on its chest.

The old nobles present were immediately overwhelmed. If they could make armor as wearable as it is now, how much impact would it have on the reputation of the nobles.

"The coat of arms here is blank, and the armor can be gold, silver, or black." Of course Liu Hai knew that for these nobles, this was the glory of their ancestors.

Now that you have money, who wouldn’t want to show the glory of their ancestors to everyone again?

"Comrade Liu, you are simply a genius. Our family wants to order a hundred sets of these armors. The specific requirements will be given to you later. This is considered a private customization for us. What do you think?" An old nobleman close to Liu Hai immediately asked It needs to be customized.

"Of course!" Liu Hai smiled inwardly. Needless to say, the price of personal customization is not to mention, and as these nobles, if it is well-made, it can be regarded as a family heirloom.

How about arranging all the precious stones, silver, and gold, and adding some complicated craftsmanship, wouldn't this be a decent amount of money?

How about Shu brocade and Yun brocade embroidered cloak?

Various combinations of red, white and blue?

Of course, follow-up design and manufacturing will definitely require continued communication.

Moreover, there are several types of armor for nobles, one for combat, one for attending ceremonies, and others.

Taking out the bangs now is just an introduction.

"Private customization, we will keep the customer completely confidential!" Liu Hai added another sentence.

The old men looked at the Bumblebee wearable mecha next to them, and then at the Knights of the Round Table drawn by bangs, feeling a bit like a cat scratching their heads.

"In addition, the Queen's yacht is expected to be completed in June. Aren't you gentlemen ready to book the Knight's yacht? Her Majesty's yacht needs yacht escort." Liu Hai said again.

"Of course, this is necessary, Comrade Liu, feel free to tell me if you have any ideas." Several old nobles nodded.

"We will discuss this later." Liu Hai just mentioned it casually. After all, the value of this kind of super yacht is very high.

"Comrade Liu, can we take this sample away?"

"This is the property of our factory, I can't make the decision." Of course Liu Hai will not decide who to give it to.

"We have to listen to the arrangements of our superiors." Sun Aiguo also said here.

"OK then!"

"We gave Comrade Liu some gifts, and I believe they will be passed on to you later. I hope you like them." An old nobleman said again.

Liu Hai nodded, and then said: "Thank you!"

Then Liu Hai and Sun Aiguo said goodbye to these dealers. There was nothing to talk about, and if they wanted to talk, their superiors would talk to these people.

Just meet and get to know each other.

Liu Hai was sent back to his hometown by people from the security office in the factory, taking some roasted goose and fish with him.

Liu Hai's meeting with the dealer was placed in front of his superiors.

The superiors were very satisfied with Liu Hai's performance. Comrade Liu Hai did not promise anything, nor did he interfere in anything, nor did he even look at the profit distribution plan proposed by the dealer.

"I think Comrade Xiao Liu has taken care of these dealers. What these dealers talk about most is the knight armor designed by Comrade Xiao Liu for them."

"They were also talking about the yacht they wanted to book, and they were very much looking forward to Comrade Xiao Liu's design." The person responsible for arranging the meeting reported to his superiors.

"Comrade Xiao Liu is indeed a talent. I didn't expect these dealers to make further profit concessions." The superior leader nodded, and the dealers made another profit concession.

"But where is Comrade Xiao Liu?" The person in charge of the reception certainly knew why the dealers gave away profits.

The superiors also have a big problem. These dealers made it very clear in their words that they gave up their own interests to Comrade Liu Hai.

In other words, Comrade Liu Hai's interests are entirely given up by the dealers themselves.

But this is really a lot of money, and the superiors did not expect that a cartoon would involve so many interests.

Videos, toys, clothing, stickers, anyone who uses characters or models in cartoons in the future will need to pay money no matter what the occasion.

What do superior leaders feel now? On the one hand, they feel that patents restrict the spread of technology, which is very detrimental to industrial development.

On the other hand, when it was my turn to enjoy the patent, I felt that it was too comfortable.

And dealers said that these patents can continue to be harvested for twenty years, and the annual sales of toys and other peripherals can reach one billion US dollars.

Patent licensing can get up to 20%, which means that in the case of toys, you may get 200 million US dollars a year.

Of course, superior leaders now understand the huge profits from toys.

"Let Comrade Liu have a good year first, and we will talk to him later." The superior leaders can estimate that if the next animated movie becomes more popular, Comrade Liu Hai may receive hundreds of millions of dollars.

The most important thing is that if there is one cartoon like this every year, then in a few years or ten years, how much money will Comrade Liu Hai make just by relying on cartoons?

It's terrible. This is money that one person can earn. In the past, superiors would never believe that such a thing existed.

"Comrade Xiao Liu traveled to Hainan this time. When he came back, it was said that he wanted to visit the zoos in various places. It was said that he was imagining a cartoon with our oriental characteristics."

"Is there such a thing? Tell me in detail!" The superior leader's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"It seems to be a cartoon about animals. As for the specifics, their director said that Comrade Liu Hai is working on it."

"Comrade Xiao Liu, you are so proficient in using this tactic. If the first animated film with oriental characteristics is used, it will definitely not be very attractive. But now that you have become famous, it will be easy to do this again." The superior leader quickly said I figured it out and greatly appreciated Comrade Liu Hai.

"Leader, you saw it very accurately."

"Tomorrow we will convene several department leaders to report the results of this meeting, and then make a conclusion on Comrade Liu's issue." The superior leaders also figured it out. Since the dealer is willing to give up profits to Comrade Liu Hai, it will not affect the country In terms of income, it will be given to everyone the same. After all, Comrade Liu Hai is also a member of our country, and the superior leaders believe that Comrade Liu Hai will not keep the money in his pocket and enjoy it by himself.

Liu Hai didn't think about the issue of his own profits. Making money didn't mean much to him. In a few years, he would just make money by using any technology. Of course, it would be better if the money could be in his own name. You can donate it now and invest the money in areas you like in the future.
