Chapter 1904 A Little Dizzy
"Uncle Yuanzhou, do you think the menu has no intellectual property rights?"
The naughty boy said seriously: "Strictly speaking, intellectual property rights protect things with original meaning, and the menu will also be partially protected."
"For example, if a chef writes his own unique cooking techniques and puts them on the menu, or if he writes his own original brand, these are all protected by copyright."
Yuan Zhou nodded when he heard this, but these two items were not related to the menu of Chef God's shop.
I heard the naughty boy continue: "As for Uncle Yuanzhou's menu, the most important thing is the completeness of the dishes and the method of classifying them. The collection of such a complete set of dishes and the method of classification are also protected by copyright."
"The most important thing is that diners are willing to buy it because of Uncle Yuan's reputation." Naughty Child concluded.
"Okay, I understand." Yuanzhou nodded solemnly.
Next, the naughty kid also did some popular science with Yuan Zhou. Regarding the copyright protection of dishes, there are two main aspects that can be applied for copyright protection of dishes.
One is the shape, and the other is the special cooking skills. The shape is actually equivalent to the copyright value of the artwork, and the latter will not be mentioned.
Anyway, it is a popular science for Yuan Zhou, so since Yuan Zhou has unique skills in making every dish, he can apply for it.
"Uncle Yuan, I didn't bother you," said the naughty kid.
This time, the naughty boy came just after breakfast, and he pinched him at the right time. Yuanzhou had just finished washing up and had not yet decided what to do in the next time.
"No, I just finished my work." Yuan Zhou said.
"The total cost here is 330 yuan. So far, a total of 15 copies of the menu have been sold, 2 copies of the regular version, 3 copies of the deluxe version, and 10 copies of the Yuandian version. The regular version is priced at 35 yuan per copy, and the cost is 15. The deluxe version is 60 per book and the cost is 25. The Yuandian version is 89 per book and the cost is 39." The naughty boy took out a small notebook and started to calculate the accounts for Yuan Zhou.
"The cost is so low?" Yuanzhou had seen the price of the naughty child. According to his opinion, the cost of the Yuan store version was at least fifty, and the price was also low.
"Ordinary books are finally priced by the publishers and distributors. The majority of a book actually belongs to the distributor, that is, the bookstore that sells it. The actual printing cost does not exceed 15% of the book. This is because we are custom-made. So the price is on the high side.
"
The naughty boy explained: "We calculated a small account, 15% went to the printing house, 10 to 40% went to the channel, and the overall revenue left to the publishing house was only between 25 and 35% , and we don’t need channels, it’s all about reservations, and we don’t need operations and labor, so we can make money.”
"..." Yuan Zhou looked at the naughty child and was silent for a while, feeling a little dizzy, and then said "hmm" with a nasal voice.
Do you understand too well?
"Because of the help of brother Wang Hong and sister Jiang Changxi, we also got the book number." The naughty child said: "So uncle Yuanzhou doesn't need to worry, we are not publishing illegally."
"Uncle Yuan, the regular version is worth 10 yuan, the deluxe version is worth 20 yuan, and the Yuan store version is worth 25 yuan, so the total is 330 yuan. Uncle Yuan, can you see if there is anything wrong?" One hundred and three ten-dollar bills were handed to Yuan Zhou with both hands.
"That's not it. You've been working for so long and still don't earn as much as me?"
Although Yuan Zhou was not good at mathematics, he also discovered that the profits of the regular version and the Yuandian version were equally divided, while the deluxe version cost thirty-five yuan. If he sold one copy, he would get twenty for him, and the naughty kid would only get fifteen for himself.
There are still naughty kids who have to pay for the shipping costs themselves, so there are basically not many left.
"Actually, I took advantage. Without Uncle Yuan Zhou's introduction and Uncle Yuan Zhou's reputation, I wouldn't have been able to make any money." The naughty boy thrust the money into Yuan Zhou's hand again.
"That's okay, I'll accept it." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle Yuan, that's great." The naughty boy immediately beamed when he heard what Yuan Zhou said.
Although only a dozen copies were sold at the beginning, the naughty boy keenly discovered that the menu is equivalent to the peripherals of the God of Cooking store. It doesn't matter if you don't make money now. The future prospects are very bright. This is also the beginning of the naughty boy's complete accumulation of funds.
"Uncle Yuan, just leave it to me and I will do it well. Just wait for the money." The naughty boy said confidently.
"I believe in you." Yuanzhou believed in the naughty kid when it came to making money.
The naughty boy nodded fiercely, and the two of them chatted about other things about the menu. The naughty boy felt that it was getting late, so he left. Although he was young, he knew that Yuan Zhou was very busy and could take up fifteen minutes. Time is running out.
It was a coincidence that Wan Li came over just after the naughty boy left. This time he came alone, without Liao Yue and others.
However, Wan Li had made an appointment yesterday to visit today. It was not an impromptu visit. After all, he had something to do.
"President, good morning." Wan Li bowed politely and said hello.
"Good morning, did you say something happened yesterday?" Yuan Zhou asked.
He is still very concerned about the Green Chef Association, otherwise he would not work hard to become the president. He often plans opportunities to increase the number of members to improve their cooking skills. He shares some of his videos and takes them with him so that they can learn his knife skills.
Although the gap was getting further and further away, he finally handed over the chefs to the hands of his direct disciple Cheng Zhaomei, which was also a good intention.
"It's the end of the year. The Green Chef Association wants to hold a year-end summary meeting. I don't know if the president has time. We all hope that the president can participate." Wan Li said.
"This meeting should be held. Have you confirmed the time?" Yuan Zhou said.
"Two time periods have been initially selected, one is from 2:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, and the other is from 2:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon of next Sunday." Wan Li immediately put the time carefully selected by the association Speak up.
From the time he chose, he knew that it was a time that perfectly matched Yuan Zhou's, but he was very busy at the end of the year, and Wan Li didn't know when Yuan Zhou would be free, so he prepared two times to let Yuan Zhou see which one was more convenient.
"Let's just leave it in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I'll just come over by myself then." Yuanzhou thought about it, thinking that he had something to do on Sunday, so he chose the time the day after tomorrow.
"I understand. I'll inform everyone in the meeting when I get back. This is a document from this period. I need your approval, President." Wan Li took out a few documents from the briefcase he carried with him.
Secretary Qin was originally doing this, and he would bring some documents that needed Yuan Zhou's signature every once in a while, but this time Wan Li said he wanted to come, so he brought them over directly in order not to disturb Yuan Zhou too much.
After Yuan Zhou took the document and read it carefully, he signed his name neatly when he thought it was OK.
As an aside, as Yuan Zhou signed more and more documents, Yuan Zhou's signatures became more and more beautiful day by day.
Soon Wan Li finished the things he came here to do and left very simply without wasting Yuan Zhou's time at all.
