After browsing the street scene and saying goodbye to her unfamiliar companions at a fork in the road, Lin Nuo sat on the corner of the split flying carpet and arrived at the office in the commercial district.
The receptionist was a woman with a leopard head. It was unclear whether she was a real person or an NPC. Lin Nuo asked in detail about the opening of the Star Network store, and after repeated inquiries about the details, she left here satisfied.
There is no such thing as a prosperous store in Xingwang. Unless you position yourself independently, everyone entering the commercial area will be randomly assigned to a location, and the customer flow will be similar. The prosperity of business depends on word-of-mouth, advertising and repeat customers.
The first month of all new stores is free of charge. Starting from the second month, the operator must pay the rent by the sixth month. If the rent is not paid by the due date, the system will take back the storr.
Don’t think about closing the store to escape debts. Starnet accounts are bound to citizen IDs. No matter which planet you go to, even if you never go to Starnet in this life, the bill will still be delivered to you, accompanied by a large late fee.
Lin Nuo is not worried about this. Not to mention that she has no such plan for the time being. Even if she really wants to do it one day, she will definitely have sufficient funds and she will never be in late in her lifetime.
After finishing the business, Lin Nuo spent the rest of the time wandering around the Star Network. This was a super novel experience for her. It was similar to the VR games she had played before, but it was more real, and there were no The helmet and handles make things fun, and you don’t have to worry about hitting a wall or something else if you go too far.
Apart from anything else, the interstellar world is really a great place.
Lin Nuo lingered in the Star Network. If there was no 11 pm youth restriction, she might have spent the whole night there.
After leaving the safety cabin, Lin Nuo looked at the time and ran to take a combat shower. After coming out, she wiped het hair and went downstairs to find something for a late night snack. Then she saw Gu Han sitting at the table in the dining room. In front of him, the computer was turned on and a glass of tomato juice was on hand.
Gee, he really enjoys it.
Hearing the noise, Gu Han stopped the page in front of him and looked sideways at Lin Nuo, with a bit of surprise and curiosity in his tone: “So fast? I thought you would be addicted for a while.”
Lin Nuo told the truth: “I want to be addicted, but I’m a minor and the system won’t let me.”
Gu Han sneered and pointed to the chair in front of him: “Sit down, minor. Do you want me to get you something to eat?”
Lin Nuo picked up a tomato to wash herself. After cleaning, she squeezed the juice, and then stood opposite Gu Han: “I have something to ask you.”
Gu Han slid the screen in front of him to one side, turned the chair to face Lin Nuo, crossed his two straight long legs and stretched his right hand forward. He made a gesture of invitation and said slowly: “I can’t guarantee that I know everything, but I will try my best to clear up your doubts.”
Lin Nuo poured out all her doubts and finally asked: “Are you saying that even children receive education on the StarNet? It makes no sense that there are so few people… It’s not particularly small, but it’s just a bit out of line with expectations. Is it really because of the time period? ”
“There are some, but not all. “Gu Han didn’t give in, and did her best to educate Lin Nuo, “There is a distance between planets. I guess you know this common sense?”
Lin Nuo nodded. In her previous life, humans had only been to the moon. Specifically, She couldn’t remember the time, but it was at least a few days.
“Today’s technology is much more developed than before, but it is still unable to achieve instantaneous movement in reality. People still need to take an interstellar spacecraft to go to outer planets. To buy things across the interstellar space, they have to wait for the cargo spacecraft to arrive… and the same is true for the Star Network. ”
When Gu Han said this, he waved his hand and summoned the previous light screen in front of him. After a few taps, a star map of the nearby area appeared on the screen.
“You see, these red dots are all base stations used by the Star Network. If you want to connect to the Internet between different planets, you must go through this kind of transfer station – it is expensive and has a single line. If there is a magnetic storm or an asteroid impact, the signal will be lost, utable, or even disconnected.”
Lin Nuo nodded. Before the end of the world, she was an Internet-addicted girl. What she feared most was that hurricanes would cut off the network cable.
Seeing that she understood, Gu Han continued to speak: “So according to the base station, the Star Network is divided into two types, one is called the local area network, and the other is called the global network. The local area network is the networking of the entire planet, while the global network is the network between the entire galaxy.
Lin Nuo understood and interjected: “So the Star Network I’m on is the local area network of Desolate Star. There are few people here because… what about the global network?”
“You can connect to it, but there are restrictions. More than 90% of the resources of the global network are used by federal governments, and only 10% of the resources are made into a trading platform for the exchange of goods and services, which is open to private use. You must apply first and then pay 100% of the amount. It costs three times the price to open a local area store, and then you can submit 3D models and text.”
Lin Nuo opened her mouth, and a very familiar online trading platform came to her mind, and she couldn’t help but ask: “Does all customer service use it? Special communication software?”
Gu Han looked at her strangely: “There is no customer service, only after-sales service. There is a delay in message transmission between galaxies. Even if you update the model and text, you will have to wait for a while for the store to be refreshed. ”
Lin Nuo: …
Okay, if the low-end version of Moubao Moudong opens a store in the future, it will save money on recruiting customer service.
When Gu Han saw that she understood, the topic turned to another direction: “You said before that you would not consider opening a store on Star Network for the time being. Do you want to open it on Desolate Star?”
Lin Nuo took a sip of tomato juice and said: “Take it step by step, don’t rush, build a stall first, make enough money, and then open a store. New varieties need to be developed, but I won’t rush to put them on the market. By the way, have you bought new varieties of plants?
“Bought it, it will take a while to ship it over.” Gu Han looked at her expectantly, “What new product are you going to develop?”
Lin Nuo looked at him: “It depends on what you want to buy. How about the Fuka man. Doesn’t matter?”
Gu Han sneered, and the contempt in his eyes turned into reality: “That kind of guy just yells a few words, it’s not a big deal, they don’t dare to do anything to you.”
“Then what if he does it secretly? Where are the defensive measures?” Lin Nuo asked.
Gu Han frowned: “They are all planted inside the manor, he dare not come in… Forget it, I will buy some new protective devices in the near future.”
Lin Nuo held tomato juice and asked with a smile: “For me?”
Gu Han looked at her with pity and said: “For your purified plants.”
Lin Nuo shrugged: “Sacrifice the good for the sake of the last.”
Gu Han smiled, turned his eyes back to the light screen, and continued his unfinished work. Lin Nuo didn’t bother him, drank the remaining tomato juice in one gulp, got up and went back to the room.
Today was the trial operation, and many preparations were made in a hurry. After Lin Nuo returned, she logged into the Star Network again and ordered a large number of things that would be used tomorrow.
Lin Nuo thought about the store logo for a long time, and used the brush that came with the optical brain to create a freehand style “ancient” character. He brushed a small half circle on the upper left side casually, similar to a casual touch with a brush. The ink style is very strong. It looks retro.
In the lower right corner, Lin Nuo also specially made a red seal effect, with the word “nuo” inside, which not only combined her name but also had the meaning of integrity, killing two birds with one stone.
She didn’t use her surname because she didn’t want to be associated with the guys in the Lin family’s old house. The name doesn’t matter. It was given by her original mother. Lin Nuo doesn’t have any psychological burden with it.
~~~
Okay, in fact, she is just bad with names, so it would be great to have a ready-made name for her.
After designing the logo, Lin Nuo uploaded it to StarNet for comparison and testing. If it does not infringe on other people’s designs, she can directly apply for trademark protection. From now on, this mark will be unique to her.
Fortunately, although this kind of ink-style pattern existed, few used the elements as skillfully as she did. It didn’t take long for the approval to come through. Lin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief and started to take the next step.
Design new packaging graphics, including gift boxes, special bags, and small bottles for tomato juice. The ones today are too simple. No one will say anything if they are used temporarily, but if they are used all the time, it will be a bit sorry for the high-end route she has set.
Lin Nuo was actually not in the design industry. Small objects were fine, but she felt something was wrong with slightly larger ones. Just like when she was working before the end of the world, the same materials were obviously useless in her hands, but when replaced by the girls in the art department, they immediately became better.
So she planned to leave this matter to professionals. She found a studio that she liked on the Internet and had a style that she liked and the price was moderate. She just contacted the smart customer service. She thought she would have to wait until tomorrow to contact the designer, but the other party unexpectedly… contacted her directly without getting off work.
Lin Nuo immediately told her the thoughts and needs she had put together before, and then the other party fell into a strange silence. A few minutes later, just when she thought the other party thought it was too difficult and did not want to accept the order, there was finally a response from the other party.
“Go downstairs and come to the dining room.”
Lin Nuo:? ? ?
Damn it, why does this voice sound so familiar?
Gu Han, who was still sitting in the restaurant, found it interesting. His design studio had been open for a few years and had become somewhat famous. It had a good reputation among his peers and its popularity on Star Network was pretty good.
But compared to those big companies, his ranking is not advantageous, and his work is quite casual. Rather than making money, it is more about adding some fun to a peaceful life. Unexpectedly, Lin Nuo would choose him among tens of thousands of peers. It must be said that it was a wonderful fate.
The sound of “tap, tap, tap” footsteps came, and Lin Nuo went downstairs again. When she arrived at the dining room, she saw Gu Han resting his elbows on the dining table, crossing his hands and supporting his chin, looking at her with a subtle expression.
Lin Nuo was in the same, complicated mood. She didn’t know what to say. In order to ease the strange atmosphere, she had no choice but to find something to say.
“You have a side job, I thought you were a full-time housekeeper.”
Gu Han knocked on the table: “When I first came here, I couldn’t make ends meet, so I had to find a way to eat.”
Lin Nuo said sincerely: “Thank you for your hard work.”
Gu Han He moved the chair to the side and motioned for Lin Nuo to sit next to him: “You tell me, I will do it. The order will be completed as soon as possible, so I can collect the money early.”
Lin Nuo nodded and sat down: “No problem, let’s get started.”
Gu Han raised his eyebrows , clicked on the optical computer to open his tool module, projected it on the smooth desktop, and quickly made a model according to what Lin Nuo had just communicated to him. After the basics were completed, he spoke as if nothing had happened.
“I thought you would ask me for a waiver or a discount.”
“You put in the work and I pay the money. It’s reasonable. Why do you want a waiver?” Lin Nuo asked.
Gu Han explained: “I thought you would say something like, ‘We are so familiar, why do we still charge money?'”
Lin Nuo shook his head: “It’s inappropriate to use familiarity. No one’s time is in vain. I definitely won’t pay if it’s within the scope of the housekeeper’s responsibilities, but isn’t this your part-time job? Besides, it’s not like I can’t afford it. ”
It’s a business if you pay for it, so you can confidently propose changes. If it’s free, Lin Nuo would be embarrassed to be picky.
Therefore, it is better for brothers to settle the accounts clearly, which saves everyone trouble.
The author has something to say: People speak lightly. Although this is an external matter, I still want to say a few words. It would be really ironic if writers were reduced to hired guns of the platform.
The author typed out the article word by word, but the copyright no longer belongs to him. If they really let this matter happen, there would never be any originality again…
After three or five years, the capital will be full and leave. Only the devastation will be left.
