As the project was completed nearly a month ahead of schedule, Jia Yapeng rewarded each of them with an extra 100,000 yuan in recognition of their contributions. All of them laughed like idiots.
At the same time, Jia Yapeng also told them not to slack off. At the same time, the Daqian production base would fully cooperate with their requests. They had to complete the mass production of the Little Brainiac Typing Learning Machine by November 1st. They had to produce at least 100,000 units of the learning machine.
In addition, Jia Yapeng also said that at least 30 game cartridges would be produced. Since the development and programming of the hardware had been completed, all of their previous abilities would be put into the production of the game.
The three managers nodded and patted their chests to show that they promised to complete the task.
"Oh right, you guys should also prepare for the pre-research work!" Jia Yapeng suddenly changed the topic.
"Pre-research? Research on the next generation of the Little Brainiac Typing Learning Machine? Boss, don't worry. We won't delay this. We promise to complete the task! "Wang Xuan and the others said with a smile.
"What next generation of the Little Brainiac Typing Learning Machine? There's only one generation of the Little Brainiac Typing Learning Machine. That's enough. There's no need to research on the second generation of the Little Brainiac Typing Learning Machine! "Jia Yapeng said calmly, shocking the other three.
They were only going to research on the first generation of the Little Brainiac Typing Learning Machine and not the second generation. What were they going to research next?
"Research on this!" Manager Jia placed his mobile phone in front of them. After thinking for a while, he placed his mobile phone in front of the Little Brainiac Typing Learning Machine and said, "Research on these two together!"

At Tokyo Narita International Airport, three rows of Mercedes-Benz cars were parked at the arrival gate. At the same time, six people in black suits and sunglasses were respectfully waiting near the car door.
The surrounding Fusangpeople were a little scared by this scene. They deliberately hid far away, leaving an empty space at the entrance of the airport, which was originally a little busy.
After an unknown amount of time, under the attentive guidance of a middle-aged man, a man and a woman walked out with their suitcases. Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, they got into the Mercedes-Benz. Then the three Mercedes-Benzes drove away, leaving behind the envious ordinary people nearby.
"Honda-kun, I'm beginning to wonder if you're cheating me of my money. After buying these three Mercedes-Benz, I'm afraid that only half of the 50 million yen I gave you is left!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile as he looked at the huge scene at the airport.
"Mr. President, I don't want to buy such a luxurious car to spend a small amount of starting capital, but it is necessary because having three Mercedes-Benz is a necessary condition to join the Rough and Desserts Association!" Honda Ichiro said with a wry smile.
"It can't be? Which association would set such a weird rule? "Jia Yapeng was shocked.
"Of course, there isn't such a rule on the surface, but this is an unspoken rule within the association. In fact, many associations have such a rule. We Fusangpeople place a lot of importance on ostentation and reputation. If the association doesn't even have three imported cars, it means that the company doesn't have the ability, and the members of the association won't allow the company to join! "
"In fact, this is also a hidden way for the association members to resist the addition of newcomers. With three imported cars, many small companies and individuals who want to join the association can be stopped, and the interests of the association members will be maintained!"
"Amazing!" Jia Yapeng looked at Xiaoyi, who was sitting next to him. Xiaoyi nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Xiaoyi was the deputy finance director that was sent to Fusang this time. She was also an old employee who had been with Jia Yapeng since his parents' generation. Jia Yapeng trusted her very much. Since Xiaoyi nodded, it meant that it was true. Otherwise, as the finance director, Xiaoyi wouldn't have approved such an extravagant purchase of three Mercedes-Benz.
"Then, has the association been accepted?" Jia Yapeng asked.
"Basically, there's no problem," Honda Ichiro smiled. "The last step is to conduct an internal review of our products. As long as there are no problems with the food safety and the taste is guaranteed, the association will approve us to join. We can also directly purchase our goods from all the snack shops in Fusang through the association."
"However, as new members of the association, we have to pay a membership fee!"
"How much is it?" Jia Yapeng asked curiously.
"We have two options. The first option is to pay 20% of the sales of all the products sold through the association in the first three years as membership fee. Or pay a fixed annual membership fee of five million yen, "Honda Ichiro said.
"Isn't that daylight robbery?" Jia Yapeng thought that the membership fee was just a token fee. He didn't expect the association to charge such a high price.
"In fact, this is a way for the old members to exploit and restrict the new members. According to them, the old members worked hard to build the market, but the new members only need to join to directly sell their products to the whole country. This is equivalent to taking advantage of the old members' efforts to take a shortcut. Therefore, they need to pay an additional membership fee, and this fee will be equally distributed to all the old members who have been in the association for more than ten years as compensation for them!"
"If that's the case, the new members will have to bear an even greater cost. If the sales of the new members don't explode, won't they die?" Jia Yapeng said with a frown.
"This is their purpose. All the old guys will do everything possible to maintain their status, but if they forcefully suppress the new members, it will cause a war, and the old guys may die in the war. Instead, through this kind of soft cutting, they can bleed the new members a little bit! In the past twenty years, there have been no less than a hundred dim sum brands that have gone bankrupt or closed down after joining the association! "Honda Ichiro sighed.
"Then which path do you plan to take? Give me 20% of the sales? Or pay a fixed fee of fifteen million? "Jia Yapeng asked.
"That depends on what kind of product you bring me in the end, President!" Honda Ichiro looked at Jia Yapeng expectantly. Jia Yapeng smiled slightly, then took out a crispy noodle snack in Japanese from his backpack.
This crispy noodle snack looked exactly the same as Hua Xia's crispy noodle snack, but all the packaging was in Japanese. There was only a small line of Chinese at the end of the packaging. At the same time, there was an import label, indicating that this was a product imported by a local company in Fusang.
Jia Yapeng had come to Fusang nearly two months late because he wanted to localize the crispy noodle snack in Fusang.
Even if Jia Yapeng was a reincarnated Long Aotian, he didn't believe that a food filled with Chinese could become popular in Fusang. Therefore, localizing it was something that had to be done carefully.
"Very good packaging. Just this cute little yellow mouse will definitely attract the attention of the children!" Ichiro Honda looked at the cute little mouse on the cover and sighed with emotion.
At the same time, Honda Ichiro looked at the packaging from top to bottom. After making sure that there were no problems, he tore open the packaging.
In fact, the packaging of the crispy noodle snack was not important. The most important thing was the card inside the crispy noodle snack. Only this card printing could attract the interest of the children in Fusang, then the crispy noodle snack would really become popular.
"This is …" Honda Ichiro thought that he would see the familiar Water Margin Hero Card in the packaging. At most, the name inside the card would be changed to Japanese.
However, Honda Ichiro did not expect that all the characters inside the card would be changed. They were all characters that he had never seen before.
"This is … Liu Bei Xuande …"
Honda Ichiro read the words on the card and knew the identity of the character on the card.
"This is a character from the Three Kingdoms! Not a character from Water Margin! "Honda Ichiro exclaimed.
"Yes, it's the Three Kingdoms, not Water Margin!" Jia Yapeng laughed. "Actually, I know a little about Fusang. I know that among the Four Great Classics of Hua Xia, the most popular one is always the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, followed by Journey to the West. Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin are not famous here. Am I right?"
"Yes!" Honda Ichiro nodded vigorously. Jia Yapeng did not need to do any research at all. He only needed to know how many games and animations Fusang had produced that were related to the Three Kingdoms culture.
Jia Yapeng rubbed his sore thumb as he said, "That's why I decided to release the cards in Fusang this time. In the first issue, Crispy Noodle Snack released a total of 20 Three Kingdoms Hero Cards related to the Three Kingdoms characters. For these cards, I specially went into seclusion for a month and personally drew the card faces for you!"
These 20 new Three Kingdoms Hero Cards were indeed drawn by Jia Yapeng himself. After all, only he could clearly remember what the Three Kingdoms characters looked like in the newly released Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14.
