1905 A little dizzy
“Uncle Yuan Zhou, do you think that there is no intellectual copyright to the menu?”
“Strictly speaking, intellectual property is to protect things of original significance,” the devilish child said seriously.”The menu is also partially protected.”
“For example, a chef can write his own unique cooking method and put it on the menu, or write his own unique brand. These are all protected by copyright.”
Hearing that, Yuan Zhou nodded his head. However, these two dishes had nothing to do with the menu of the master chef Restaurant.
The naughty child continued,”the most important thing about uncle Yuan Zhou’s menu is the complete collection of dishes and the classification method. The collection of such a complete collection of dishes and the classification method are also protected by the copyright.”
“The most, most, most important thing is that the customers are willing to buy it because of uncle Yuan’s reputation.” The devilish brat concluded.
“Alright, I got it.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head solemnly.
Next, the naughty child also told Yuan Zhou about the copyright protection of dishes. There were two main aspects in which dishes could apply for copyright protection.
The first was the style, and the second was the special cooking skills. The style was actually equivalent to the copyright value of an art piece, but the latter was not worth mentioning.
In any case, he had provided Yuan Zhou with a wave of popular science knowledge. Therefore, since Yuan Zhou had his own unique skills when cooking each dish, he could also apply for it.
“Uncle Yuan, I hope I’m not disturbing you.” The devilish brat said.
This time, the disobedient child rushed over right after the breakfast was over. The timing was very accurate. Yuan Zhou had just finished washing up and had yet to decide what he was going to do next.
“No, I just finished my work.” Yuan Zhou said.
“It’s 330 Yuan in total. So far, we’ve sold 15 copies of the menu, two of the normal version, three of the luxury version, and 10 of the yuandian version. The price of the normal version is 35 Yuan per book with a cost of 15 yuan. The deluxe version is 60 Yuan per book with a cost of 25 Yuan. The yuandian version is 89 Yuan per book with a cost of 39 Yuan. ” The devilish brat took out a small notebook and started to calculate the bill for Yuan Zhou.
“The cost is so low?” Yuan Zhou had seen the price of the disobedient child. According to his estimation, the cost of the yuan’s shop version should be at least 50 RMB and the selling price was also low.
“The final price of a normal book is determined by the publisher and the distributor. The majority of a book’s cost is actually attributed to the distributor, which is the bookstore. The actual printing cost is not more than 15% of the book. It’s also because we’re ordering it, so the price is on the high side.”
The devilish brat explained,”let’s do a small calculation. 15% will go to the printing factory, and 10 to 40% will go to the distribution channels. The overall profit left for the publishing firm is only between 25 to 35. We don’t need the distribution channels, so we just need to book it in advance. We don’t need operations or manpower either, so we can still make a profit.”
“…” Looking at the naughty child, Yuan Zhou remained silent for a while. He felt a little dizzy and then said,”um,” in a nasal voice.
Don’t you understand too much?
“With the help of brother Wang Hong and Sister Jiang Changxi, I also got the book number.” “Therefore, uncle Yuan Zhou, you don’t have to worry. We are not publishing it illegally,” the devilish brat said.
“The normal version is 10 yuan, the deluxe version is 20 yuan, and the yuan Dian version is 25 Yuan, so the total is 330 Yuan. Uncle Yuan, can you check if it’s correct?” The disobedient child handed three 100 yuan bills and three 10 yuan bills to Yuan Zhou with both hands.
“Isn’t that the case? you’ve been busy for so long, and you’re still not earning as much as I do?”
Although Yuan Zhou wasn’t good at math, he still found out that the profit of the ordinary version and the yuan Dian version was divided equally. The cost of the deluxe version was 35 Yuan and he would get 20 yuan for each book sold. The kid would only get 15 yuan for himself.
There were also naughty kids who wanted to pay for the transportation fees themselves, so there were basically not many left.
“In fact, I’m the one who has taken advantage of you. If uncle Yuan Zhou didn’t introduce me to you and didn’t have uncle Yuan’s reputation, I wouldn’t even have made a share of the money.” The devilish brat stuffed the money into Yuan Zhou’s hand again.
“Alright, I’ll take it.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“Thank you, uncle Yuan. That’s great!” The disobedient child immediately beamed with joy when he heard Yuan Zhou say that.
Although he had only sold a dozen or so copies at the start, the devilish brat’s sharp senses discovered that the menu was like the periphery of the master chef Restaurant. It didn’t matter if he didn’t make money now, as his future prospects were very bright. This was also the start of the devilish brat’s accumulation of funds.
“Uncle Yuan, just leave it to me. I’ll definitely do my best. Just wait for your share of the money.” The devilish brat said with complete confidence.
“I believe you.” Yuan Zhou believed in the disobedient child very much when it came to making money.
The devilish brat nodded his head fiercely. Then, the two of them talked about other things about the menu. The devilish brat felt that it was getting late and thus took his leave. Although he was young, he also knew that Yuan Zhou was very busy. It was already a big deal that he could take 15 minutes of Yuan Zhou’s time.
Today was also a coincidence. The devilish brat had just left, and Wan Li came over. This time, he came alone and didn’t bring Liao Yue and the others.
However, Wanli had already made an appointment yesterday to visit today. He didn’t come at the last minute. After all, he had something to do.
“Good Morning, President.” Wanli bowed and greeted him very politely.
“Good Morning. You said you had something to do yesterday?” Yuan Zhou asked.
He was still very concerned about the Qing chef society. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have worked so hard to become the president. He often planned opportunities to increase the number of backbone members to improve his cooking skills, shared some of his videos, and brought them with him so that they could learn his cutting skills.
Although the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger, in the end, he still handed the chefs to his direct disciple, Cheng zhaomei. He had also put in a lot of effort.
“It’s the end of the year. The green Chef society wants to hold a year-end summary meeting. I wonder if you have time. We all hope that you can attend.” Ten thousand miles said.
“This meeting should be held. Do you have a time?” Yuan Zhou said.
“There are two preliminary time periods. One is the day after tomorrow from 2:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon. The other is next Sunday from 2:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon.” Wanli immediately told him the time that the Association had carefully chosen.
Judging from the time he chose, he knew that it was a time that was completely in line with Yuan Zhou’s schedule. However, people were very busy at the end of the year and Wanli didn’t know when Yuan Zhou would be free. Therefore, he prepared two times for Yuan Zhou to see which was more convenient.
“Let’s do it the day after tomorrow in the afternoon. I’ll come by myself then.” Yuan Zhou considered for a while and then decided to do it the day after tomorrow as he had something to do on Sunday.
“I understand. I’ll inform the people in the Guild when I get back. These are the documents for this period of time. I need you to approve them, President.” Wanli took out a few documents from the briefcase he carried with him.
Secretary Qin was the one who was in charge of this matter. She would bring some documents that required Yuan Zhou’s signature here every once in a while. But this time, Wanli said that he was coming over. In order not to disturb Yuan Zhou, he brought the documents over directly.
After Yuan Zhou received the document and read it carefully, he felt there was no problem with it and then signed his name on it.
To be Frank, as Yuan Zhou signed more and more documents, his signature became more and more beautiful.
Very soon, Wanli finished his business and then left without wasting Yuan Zhou’s time.
