The broadcast of the focus interview made 3321 a major public welfare project that attracted nationwide attention. Dong Ai, who was responsible for formulating a plan to open up the Shanghai market, very smartly chose to directly contact the Shanghai local government. As soon as the local government heard about 3321, it was ready to land. The Shanghai Stock Exchange immediately promised Dong Ai that once 3321 starts operating in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, they will coordinate with television and newspaper media to issue a large press release to build momentum for 3321. At that time, what Dong Ai will have to do is to provide information to college students and students in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Parents only need to open the registration and arrange a team to come to the door to check the information. Even the process of local promotion is omitted.
Just after the focus interview was broadcast, Li Mu had a period of depression for a few days. Those days happened to be the days when the audience had the deepest impression of him. After those days, he became much more relaxed, and it seemed as if everything was okay again. Back on track.
In the past few days, Xu Jiaming asked Li Mu to have dinner twice, but Li Mu declined again on the pretext of something else. He could tell that Xu Jiaming contacted him because of Makino Technology. Since it was for him, he had to take it. Energetic.
After that, Chen Ze also made an appointment with Li Mu once, but Li Mu didn't go either. However, Li Mu and Chen Ze were much more polite, explaining to him that there were a lot of things going on these days and that they would treat him to dinner after they were done.
It is said that Fatty Wang wants to open a nightclub. He is planning to discuss it with several shareholders who are interested in buying shares this weekend. For this reason, Fatty Wang has made arrangements to have dinner and discuss it together on Saturday night.
On Friday, Zhao Kang met with Li Mu and told Li Mu some good news.
Legendary Overlord has been on sale for one week, and a total of nearly 110,000 monthly activation codes have been sold. Because Legendary Overlord’s sales were so strong, he forcefully demanded that the underlying distributors settle accounts on a weekly basis. In order to keep the business, no one refused.
In other words, the two of them earned one million in one week, with Li Mu earning 700,000 and Zhao Kang earning 300,000.
One million a week sounds a bit scary, but Li Mu calculated that because he sells monthly activation codes, he should have covered most of the legendary players in the previous week. In the remaining 20 days of this month, the sales volume It will definitely decline rapidly until it peaks again at the beginning of next month.
However, even if this is the case, Li Mu can basically guarantee that his monthly income is more than 1.2 million, and Zhao Kang's monthly income is more than 500,000. How to launder this money has become a more difficult problem.
The first week's income has not yet been transferred to the accounts in their own names. Seven hundred thousand is a large sum of money. Li Mu doesn't know how to legitimately transfer it to his own name.
His total bank deposits are only a million, but the more than one million is traceable. The 700,000 is equivalent to income from unknown sources. He is not sure whether the bank will be curious about this money. , but once you transfer it to your bank account, a record will be left. The bank's records are the same as the records of the public security system. Under normal circumstances, they will never be erased, so it is better to be cautious.
Li Mu also told Zhao Kang about this problem. He now has hundreds of thousands of deposits in his account. When Makino acquired Douban, Zhao Kang also received 400,000 in after-tax income.
Zhao Kang asked Li Mu: "This money cannot be deposited directly into my account, but it can be withdrawn and used directly, right?"
Li Mu nodded: "It's not a big problem to use cash, but from now on there will be such a sum of money every month, you can't change it all into cash, right?"
As he spoke, Li Mu thought of his previous plan and said to Zhao Kang: "I have an idea. Let's invest in opening a large Internet cafe. Part of the income from the plug-in will be used to invest in the Internet cafe, and the Internet cafe will be used to launder the other income from the plug-in."
Zhao Kang asked: "Is it reliable?"
Li Mu said: "It's reliable. The income of the Internet cafe fluctuates greatly, and cash flows in every day. All the money is transferred from the Internet cafe to our personal account, and nothing can be found at all."
Zhao Kang exclaimed and smiled: "Is this the legendary money laundering?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "The gray income of one million a month is not enough for a professional in money laundering. Opening an Internet cafe is a profitable business in itself, and Internet cafe licenses will definitely be tightened in the future. It is impossible to allow each Internet cafe to If it continues to open, I estimate that if we invest in an Internet cafe, one certificate will probably be sold for hundreds of thousands in the future, especially in a big city like Yanjing."
Zhao Kang looked surprised and said: "Is it so outrageous? It is said that our family can do it casually."
Li Mu smiled slightly. In the next few years, in a small place like Haizhou City, the transfer fee for an Internet cafe certificate will start at 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and many times it comes with bundled terms. For example, the transfer of an Internet cafe will come with a bunch of old computers in the Internet cafe, and The price of each computer is much higher than the market price. It's not enough not to buy it. Even so, there is no need to worry about sales.
Not only that, in Haizhou, even a taxi operating indicator can be sold for a high price of 400,000 yuan in the future. The reason is very simple. Speculators from Zhejiang Province and Northern Hunan Province have organized groups to invest in taxis in third- and fifth-tier cities across the country. Every time they go to a city , to saturate the taxis in this city, the local government has no choice but to introduce policy controls. Once controlled, the taxi indicators become rare.
Li Mu remembered that in his previous life, his father once lamented to himself that a laid-off worker in Xiling Coal Mine spent 30,000 yuan to buy a second-hand Xiali with a certificate for rent. Not to mention making money every month, just two or three years later, a car The certificate was sold for 100,000 yuan. At that time, I could buy a small house in Haizhou.
Even so, taxi licenses are still very popular. The reason is very simple. Buying a taxi license is a sure-profit investment, and even if you don't drive it yourself and hire it for other drivers, you can make a net profit of at least 2,000 yuan a month. , the monthly rent for a house in the same price range is not even 500 or 600 yuan. The most important thing is that there is quite a lot of room for appreciation.
"Then I'll listen to you and start an Internet cafe!" Zhao Kang basically believed in Li Mu's words. Li Mu said that opening an Internet cafe could bleach his gray income and make money at the same time. Naturally, he had no objection.
Li Mu said: "Initially, we will invest in an Internet cafe with about 100 to 150 machines. The specific matters will be up to you. The investment ratio is still seven to one and three to you."
Zhao Kang nodded: "I'll take care of this, don't worry about it."
The two of them initially decided to open an Internet cafe early next year. Zhao Kang said: "Just in time, I originally wanted to discuss with you that 3321 will go to Haizhou to assist students next week. I will go back with you."
Li Mu asked him: "Is there something going on at home?"
"Yeah." Zhao Kang said, "My parents are laid off, and they are the ones at the end of the year. My dad discussed with my mother and wanted to go to Shanghai to work together. I don't want them to go. I will discuss it with them when I go back and see if we can You can’t do anything at home.”
Li Mu asked: "Why did your parents think of going to work?"
Zhao Kang said: "I can't stand idle anymore. I always feel that it's too embarrassing to earn the laid-off salary at home. I just gave my family 100,000 some time ago. I want them to stop worrying about money and go out for a walk while I'm laid off." When it comes to playing, neither of us agrees."
Li Mu smiled and said, "You have to learn this from me. Our parents are only in their early forties. If you ask them to take care of themselves at home so early, they won't be able to stay. So, if you really want to show your filial piety, Just giving money is not enough, it is better to give parents a career and let them show their value."
Zhao Kang looked yearning when he heard it, but he sighed deeply and said, "I don't have the brains like you. I really can't think of a good business for the two of them. Many businesses are quite tiring and tiring."
Li Mu remembered the memory about the taxi license in his mind. Now if he opens a taxi company and has 20 or 30 taxis, he should make a lot of money. He can earn 500,000 to 600,000 in one year. In three to five years, he can make a lot of money. Later, when the price of taxi licenses goes up, 20 or 30 taxis and licenses will be sold together, and it is estimated that they can be sold for four to five million. One million, for me, this profit line is too long and too slow, but for my parents, this is an absolutely stable profit.
So, Li Mu slapped his thigh and said, "Let's just open a taxi company together. Our family will only invest in the company, let your dad manage the details, and give your dad extra technical shares and salary."
"Taxi company?" Zhao Kang was stunned, thinking that Li Mu's span of doing things was too big, right? I build the Internet myself, and let my parents make clothes. I heard that I want to invest in nightclubs with others. Now I want to open an Internet cafe with myself, and they want to open a taxi company together. These businesses are simply unrelated. ah.
However, Li Mu has his own ideas. Whether it is a nightclub, an Internet cafe, or a taxi company, he will not intervene in the operation. He is just investing and does not take up any of his energy. Especially for taxi companies, he is not prepared to pay for it himself. , but prepare to let parents invest, so that if the taxi company succeeds in the future, it can also bring an extra sense of accomplishment to parents.
Besides, there is basically no threshold for running a taxi company or applying for a taxi operating license in Haizhou. Taxi companies generally only need 20 taxis to apply for it smoothly. Now Taxis in Haizhou are generally from Xiali and Alto, and the price is around 50,000 yuan. Twenty cars cost just over one million. As for the insurance, maintenance, fuel and other expenses of the car, they are all paid by the chartered driver. The entire car is subcontracted to two drivers in double shifts. The two drivers add up to at least 80 yuan a day for the company's charter fee. In other words, one car can earn at least more than 2,000 yuan a month.
Zhao Kang did some calculations. If he really invested in 20 cars, it would cost more than one million. Plus other miscellaneous expenses, it would cost an estimated 12 to 30 million. Li Mu also wanted to open an Internet cafe. If he invested in both , simply can't keep up with his rhythm.
Li Mu saw his worries and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money. I'll help you out first. The plug-in has been making money. You just pay me back slowly. The taxi company is a worry-free business. As long as the insurance is in place, basically everything will be done." Don’t worry about it, just deal with some trivial matters and collect money every month. Although the profit is not very fast, it can last for a long time.”
Just relying on the cost of contracting taxis, it would take at least more than two years to pay back the investment in a taxi company. However, Li Mu was thinking more about the future appreciation of the entire taxi industry. An investment can generate returns for many years. Not only did he make money in the middle , if you finally take action, the initial investment will be doubled seven or eight times.
