It was already the middle of January 2001.
Lin Yue had already found an office building. It was a building with more than 40 floors. Li Ze let Lin Yue rent the 33rd and 34th floors.
The single-story area was a little over 1,000 square meters. In the short term, it was enough for the three companies under Li Ze's name.
After all, other than the network managers and service staff, there were not many people who needed to work in the office building.
There were more people in Legend of Mir 2.
In addition, in addition to the R D team that Xu Kai needed to build, Zerun Technology would definitely have to recruit some more people, such as administration, finance, human resources, and the most important marketing department...
Li Ze planned to gradually perfect the organizational structure of these companies after the New Year.
When the time came, he would definitely need to occupy a lot of office space.
However, this was not urgent at the moment.
He could take it slow. After all, Xu Kai needed some time to make a prototype, let alone confirm the model.
As the end of January arrived, all the universities, middle schools, and primary schools welcomed the winter vacation.
This was undoubtedly a great benefit for the Legend of Mir 2, greatly stimulating the sales of the game card.
Ignoring primary school students, there were many high school and university students who played Legend of Mir 2.
Now that winter vacation was here, the daily online users of the Legend of Mir 2 were visibly increasing. Even during the daytime, they could reach 500,000 to 600,000.
It was even more shocking at night during the peak hours.
It was basically maintained at more than 800,000!
With such a shocking number of online users, one could imagine how profitable Legend of Mir 2 was. Countless gaming companies and even internet companies were envious!
Li Ze had even heard that one of the three major portals in the country, Internet One, which had successfully gone public in the United States, was in talks with foreign countries about distributing games.
It was obvious that they wanted to enter the online game market to get a share of the profits!
However, Li Ze didn't care too much about this. He couldn't stop it. The market was so big, and competition was inevitable when there was profit.
The only thing he could do was to let the team of Legend of Mir 2 maintain the game experience and retain the players. He could also let the team continue to promote the game and attract as many players as possible…
During this period, Li Ze had already transferred the remaining two million US dollars into Penguin Corporation's account and completed the investment contract.
The 10% of Penguin Corporation's shares had fallen into his pocket.
January 13th.
Xu Kai, who Li Ze had been waiting for, finally arrived in Shanghai.
In addition, he also brought more than a dozen research and development personnel. These people were the team he had single-handedly pulled together. Among them were some of Xu Kai's former colleagues and classmates, as well as interns from the University of Science and Technology of China.
After all, it was time for the fourth-year students to do their internship.
Xu Kai used to be a teacher at the University of Science and Technology of China, so it was easy for him to find some interns.
Of course, Li Ze's salary for these R D team members was not low. For those who were full-time, they were basically at least 50% premium.
Li Ze even gave an intern a monthly allowance of 2,000 yuan.
One had to know that the average monthly income in Shanghai was only a little over 1,000 yuan. Li Ze's allowance for these interns had reached 2,000 yuan, almost double the amount.
However, these interns were the top students of the University of Science and Technology of China, so it was worth it.
"Director Xu, this is your office space. I've already gotten someone to purchase the equipment you mentioned before.”
"If you need anything else, just say it. I'll get someone to buy it directly.”
Li Ze personally brought Xu Kai and the others to the office of Zerun Technology.
At the moment, Legend Games and the Internet cafe company had not moved here. Li Ze was planning to wait until the new year to let the two companies move here together.
As for Xu Kai, he was the technical director of Zerun Technology after he officially joined the company.
Xu Kai and his team looked at the office environment and revealed a satisfied expression.
Then, Xu Kai looked at Li Ze and said,"President Li, I've also carefully checked some information about the MP3 player, including the RioPMP300 player that you brought me last time.”
"I have a basic understanding of this MP3 player.”
Li Ze nodded." That's good."
"But I want to ask you first, President Li. What is your position on the MP3 player that our company is going to develop?" Xu Kai asked again.”
"Also, you mentioned to me last time that you have some ideas about this player. We can listen to it and design and develop it according to your requirements.”
Li Ze was already prepared for this. He smiled and said,"I don't know much about technology, so I'll just briefly talk about some of my simple ideas about the MP3 player.”
"When the time comes, we'll have to rely on Director Xu to realize it.”
"Sure, President Li."
Xu Kai replied.
The others also listened carefully.
" About the player that our company is going to develop," Li Ze said," I mean to develop a high-end product and a low-end product at the same time.”
"High-end products will be named after the 'Z' series. The first one will be called Z1! The lower end is named after the D series."
"As for the specific requirements, it's very simple. It has to be light and small, and the exterior design has to be fashionable, in line with the aesthetics of young people.”
"The other thing is the design of the function. It needs to be able to easily switch between songs and allow users to quickly find the song they want to listen to from dozens or hundreds of songs.”
"Regarding this, I have an idea. Can the player's buttons be set up like a wheel?”
" Of course, this is just my idea. As for whether it can be realized, how to realize it, and how to set the wheel buttons, it's up to Director Xu to explore and study…"
