When Li Mu woke up on Saturday, everyone had already set off for Yangcheng. He was the only one in the empty dormitory, so he got up and had a casual breakfast.
I took the time to buy some fruit and went to the hospital. Wang Yanan and Xue Jianfeng's partner Chen Jiao were with them in the hospital. Zhao Ziqiu said that he couldn't come today and had to go to the library to review his homework.
Li Mu asked about Wang Yanan's mother's condition. Wang Yanan said: "The doctor said that the situation is relatively stable at the moment. As long as the dialysis frequency is maintained and the medicine is taken on time, it will be fine."
With that said, Wang Yanan pulled Li Mu to the door and said to him: "I want to rent a house near the school and let my mother be discharged from the hospital. From now on, I will move out of the dormitory to live with her. I will ask Sister Liu to help take care of her during the day and at night." I’ll accompany her myself.”
Li Mu asked her: "What did the doctor say? Should I be discharged from the hospital?"
"The doctor said that she can be discharged from the hospital." Wang Yanan nodded, glanced at her mother through the glass window, and said with some sadness: "My mother suffered some external injuries mainly because she was beaten by my father at the beginning, and she was in a bad mood. I was diagnosed with uremia at the hospital, so my overall condition was very poor at that time, but I have almost adjusted it this week. My mother told me that she didn’t want to stay in the hospital anymore and felt depressed. She wanted to go back to her hometown, but I didn’t Jean, I just want to be with her, let us live in Yanjing."
Li Mu asked: "Have you discussed it with Zhengdao?"
"We discussed it." Wang Yanan pursed her lips and said after a while: "Zhengdao is very stubborn and very sensitive. He may think that he is discharged from the hospital to save money, so he will find a way no matter how much it costs to be hospitalized, but he himself is also worried. It didn’t work. He stayed with me several times at night to see my mother, and I saw him pulling his hair out in worry in the middle of the night..."
Li Mu smacked his lips. Hu Zhengdao wanted to give Wang Yanan a sense of security at this time. He could understand this mentality, but it would be bad if he was too sensitive in this aspect.
After thinking about it, Li Mu said, "Let's do this. When Zhengdao comes back, I will tell him that renting a house is indeed more comfortable than living in the hospital."
Wang Yanan nodded gratefully, looked at Li Mu and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I really want to thank you for my mother's matter. If it weren't for you..."
Li Mu waved his hands and sighed: "Okay, I won't dare to come here again if you say such things again."
With that said, Li Mu changed the topic and asked: "Is Sister Liu okay at work?"
Wang Yanan nodded repeatedly: "It's very good. I'm a very nice person and very careful in my work. The main thing is that the cooking is delicious. After getting along with me in the past few days, I have gotten along very well with my mother. We call each other sisters. Now I I no longer call her Sister Liu, but Aunt Liu."
Li Mu felt relieved: "That's good. You and Chen Jiao can stay with Auntie. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
When I came out of the hospital, I received a call from the photo printing shop. The photos I sent last time had been developed and made into albums, so I could go pick them up.
Li Mu was overjoyed and was going to pick it up right away. Li Mu was very satisfied with the bunch of photos he took of Su Yingxue on Ginkgo Avenue last time. After finishing the post-production, he could only sigh continuously, so Li Mu was even more looking forward to the completion of the film. The effect comes out.
On the way there, I sent a message to Su Yingxue, but I didn't expect that this top student was also in the library.
Li Mu was about to have a meal together at noon and send her the photo album by the way. Zhao Kang called and said that Legendary Overlord 2.0 started charging at 8pm last night and has sold more than 30,000 copies in 14 to 15 hours.
Li Mu was shocked by this data.
More than 30,000 copies, 15 yuan a copy, more than 40, nearly half a million.
Not even a day.
According to the strategy formulated by Li Mu and Zhao Kang, for Legend Overlord version 2.0, each monthly activation code is sold for fifteen yuan, Internet cafe dealers earn four yuan, Zhao Kang’s core members earn two yuan, and the remaining nine yuan is his. and Zhao Kang’s net profit.
More than 30,000 copies, a net profit of just over 300,000 yuan, Li Mu made 70% and Zhao Kang 30%. In other words, in one night, Li Mu made just over 200,000 yuan, and Zhao Kang made almost 100,000 yuan.
At present, Legend has at least millions of users, and its growth rate is unprecedented in China. Due to Legend's unique appeal in this era, its paying user conversion rate is extremely high. Currently, both second-second and monthly cards are becoming popular. It costs more than 30 yuan a piece. Users who spend more than 30 yuan a month to play Legends don’t mind spending an extra 15 yuan to buy a practical plug-in tool.
Due to Legendary Overlord's leadership in functions and performance, it is certain that it will dominate the legendary plug-in market. At present, it should not be a problem to reach 100,000 users in one or two weeks. Maybe by the beginning of 2002, it will reach the monthly level. It might sell hundreds of thousands of copies.
Faced with this kind of ability to attract money, even Li Mu, whose net worth has been estimated to have exceeded tens of millions, was a little surprised. The speed of making money is so damn fast, and what he earns is not the so-called net worth, but all the cash flow. This kind of There is no need to pay taxes on gray income. Unlike the hard work of cashing out a million from Series A, the tax alone is hundreds of thousands.
Zhao Kang said excitedly: "This is because my core members have not completely driven away the market. We have not yet opened half of the cities across the country! And those cities that have opened it have not covered all Internet cafes. .”
Li Mu asked him: "How many core members do you have in total?"
Zhao Kang said: "There are about twenty of them that I can trust."
"What's their age group?"
"About seventeen or eighteen to twenty-three or four years old."
Li Mu said: "The ability to expand the market is still not enough."
Zhao Kang sighed and said: "It is indeed difficult to cover all the cities in the country. Manpower alone is not enough. The core staff I have now only see the prospects, but they have not really made any money yet. Only after the first round of repayment arrives.”
Li Mu suddenly thought of Alipay.
If Alipay goes online, make Alipay an open payment platform, and plug-in businesses can be sold directly from Alipay. In this way, you can bypass the sales terminals of Internet cafes and Zhao Kang's core personnel and directly connect with users. , the monthly subscription fee of 15% per month goes directly to yourself, without giving a penny to others.
However, Li Mu quickly gave up after just thinking about it. It is indeed not difficult to launch Alipay and make it an open platform. However, at present, there are basically no e-commerce websites on the domestic Internet, and there is no demand for online transactions. Even if he opens Alipay, there will be no Access to third-party platforms and merchants will only serve 3321 and plug-ins. People with a discerning eye can guess the tricks at a glance.
Forget it.
There is endless money to be made in this world, but there is not much money to be made by eating alone.
The plug-in finally started to make money and it was so strong from the beginning. Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Mu had millions in his pocket and was not short of money, this little money could not give him any sense of security. He needed a steady stream of cash flow. Come in and give yourself more confidence. Only in this way can he dare to invest in nightclubs with Chen Ze, and only then can he dare to play in his circle with confidence and boldness. Otherwise, it will be too hard to hold on.
Li Mu told Zhao Kang not to care about anything else but to ensure safety and leave no traces. Although he was confident that he would escape unscathed before the cheater was convicted, in the future, in order to avoid cheaters from overturning old scores, he still had to be more cautious and make money steadily. , and you have to actually put the money in your pocket.
Li Mu thought of the "money laundering" plan that he had been thinking about before. How could he turn this money into traceable legal income bit by bit
Opening an Internet cafe is actually a better choice. Li Mu had been thinking about opening a chain of Internet cafes while it was now easy to obtain Internet cafe certificates when he and his roommates were cheating in Internet cafes.
Internet cafes are also cash cows, making money quickly. When Internet cafes start to tighten up, a single certificate can be sold for hundreds of thousands.
However, Li Mu has too many things to do now. He needs to register and apply for a certificate to open an Internet cafe, and he also needs to find a house, decorate and purchase machines. He really can't take care of it at the moment. He might as well let Zhao Kang do it after the plug-in makes more money.
Li Mu thought about Hu Zhengdao again. Hu Zhengdao's current financial pressure was extremely high. If he was allowed to get involved in the plug-in matter and handed over some unexplored markets to him, it would also provide him with a way to make money. However, Li Mu was very worried. I quickly gave up this idea to PASS. After all, plug-ins are shady things. I don’t dare to trust Hu Zhengdao 100%, so it’s better to be more cautious.
…
In the developing shop, the photos he received made Li Mu's vision undergo a baptism again. Su Yingxue in the photos was completely integrated with the beautiful scenery around him, perfect.
The boss in charge of developing asked Li Mu: "Brother, did you take these photos?"
Li Mu nodded.
The boss asked again: "Where did you learn this kind of composition and shooting angle?"
Li Mu said: "With a friend who is a professional photographer."
The boss praised: "The photo was so good. The composition and technique are very novel. The one taken from an oblique angle is absolutely stunning, and the one where the beauty is looking back inadvertently is perfect."
After saying that, the boss added: "Of course, the model is really beautiful."
Li Mu smiled slightly, and the boss handed him the completed photo album.
Li Mu opened it and took a look. The album was made with exquisite craftsmanship, and the photos on it were larger and clearer. Coupled with the unique layout, the overall effect was greatly improved compared to looking at the photos one by one.
I recall that when I was in school, it was crazy for female students to go to the photo studio to take photo albums. In those days, it was very cheap to take a photo album. For two to three hundred yuan, you could take dozens or twenty photos in the photo studio setting. , and even made it into a photo album. However, I have to say that the shooting method in the studio is too simple, and the shooting routine and composition are extremely vulgar. Coupled with the poor costumes and background layout, most of the photos taken in this kind of photos are female students. I like it for a year or two, and then I hide it away and never feel embarrassed to take it out again.
In the final analysis, photography remains true to its roots in one word: nature.
Li Mu began to look forward to what Su Yingxue would look like when she saw these photos.
