Li Mu returned home and tinkered for a while, and finally connected the new laptop to the Internet.
Fortunately, I had someone else install some necessary software when I bought the computer. Otherwise, it would have taken about half an hour to download QQ at this speed.
Li Mu was very concerned about the current download volume and word-of-mouth feedback of Stone Overlord, so he opened several BBSs and found that the first BBS administrator deliberately put the post at the top and put up a banner ad, saying that the first reply in this forum exceeded 30,000 The post was born.
As for the number of downloads, it’s 230,000, which is terrifying.
Counting several websites, the number of downloads reached more than 400,000.
Li Mu felt that it was almost there, and there would be no more spurts in growth in the future. He didn’t know how much daily activity there was in the Stone Age, but based on the fact that all Internet companies tended to brag about the data announced to the outside world, they He said that he could have up to 200,000 people online at the same time. After discounting, the number of daily active users would only be 3 to 500,000.
Then he opened his private QQ.
On private QQ, Zhao Kang left a message to himself: "Fuck, I came to the Internet cafe today to check the download volume, and it exceeded 400,000!"
Seeing that he was online, Li Mu asked, "Are you still in the Internet cafe?"
"Well, where did you go?"
"I am at home."
"Do you have a computer at home?"
"I just went out to get some money and came back."
"Ri, you are awesome."
Li Mu asked: "Did you log in to the forum today and hang up the agent according to the method I told you?"
"I didn't log in, I just opened the forum and took a look."
"That's good." Li Mu thought for a while and sent another message: "Come to my house to find me tomorrow morning."
"Okay, just in time to check out your new computer."
Thinking that the Stone Overlord was now killing everyone in the Stone Age plug-in market, Li Mu opened his vest QQ to see who was contacting him.
Once online, numerous verification pop-ups appeared.
Sun Peng of Abe's plug-in alone has distributed dozens of them. In addition, there have been dozens of people who want to represent their own plug-ins in a certain area.
Li Mu still ignored it and was ready to put up with Abe's cheating person again.
Just at this time, his parents came home from get off work. Li Mu quickly got up. There was still another hurdle waiting for him. He needed to explain the laptop and the remaining 60,000 yuan in his bag to his parents.
…
Dad Li put out the third cigarette in the ashtray and asked with still an incredulous expression: "Son, you said you wrote a song and sold it for 80,000 yuan, right?"
"That's right." Li Mu nodded, pointed to his laptop and 60,000 yuan in cash for the fifth time and said, "They are all here."
"I still can't believe it..." Dad Li said, trying to get a cigarette again.
At this time, Li's mother suddenly said: "You don't believe in my son, I do!"
Speaking, Li’s mother recalled five years ago and said: “When my son was in the second year of junior high school, I took him to a department store, and he insisted on buying a guitar. I thought at the time, does my son also have a musical talent? Anyway, that guitar It wasn’t expensive, so I bought it for him. At that time, I felt that my son was definitely talented in music!”
Li Mu was a little ashamed.
When he wanted a guitar, it was because he had just come into contact with rock music. Dou Wei, Ding Wu, Gao Qi, and even Zhang Chu and He Yong were his most admired idols at that time, so he pestered his mother to buy the guitar.
Dad Li said thoughtfully at this time: "Oh, five years!"
"Yes." Ma Li said, "Didn't you watch the Hua'er band on TV? They are probably not as old as our son. Don't they write their own songs? They have become stars!"
"That's right." Dad Li's mind suddenly changed and he said hurriedly: "Son, what song did you write? Sing it to your parents?"
Li Mu waved his hand hurriedly: "The song is sold to others for competitions. You should be able to see it on TV in a while."
Li Mu didn't have the courage to sing songs in the style of "Li Bai" in front of his parents. In other words, he couldn't sing most of his songs because his parents were staring at him.
Dad Li also knew that Li Mu might be uncomfortable, so he nodded to himself, and then he looked up at Li Mu: "Son, with so much money, you have to spend it sparingly. Don't waste it, you know?"
Li’s mother immediately agreed: “That’s right, I’ll deposit it in the bank for you tomorrow so you can go to college!”
Dad Li hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? What are you saving for your son when he earns his own money? When he grows up, he can make his own decisions, as long as he doesn't act recklessly or extravagantly."
Father Li has always been very open-minded, which made Mother Li feel a little embarrassed.
"You're right, my son can make his own decisions about this money."
Li Mu immediately smiled and said, "I make the decision myself, right? That's fine."
As Li Mu spoke, he picked up 10,000 yuan in cash and said to his parents: "The remaining 50,000 yuan is yours and your elders' free disposal. I will use this 10,000 yuan for myself."
"You still have to go to college, so keep this money for college!"
"It's okay. I'll earn the money for college elsewhere."
Father Li and Mother Li stared at Li Mu like a monster, wondering why their son suddenly became so confident.
However, the 60,000 yuan on the table is real and has great visual impact.
Li's father and Li's mother exchanged a look, and Li's mother said: "Okay, mother will take the money."
…
The next morning, Zhao Kang came to Li Mu's house and looked at Li Mu's new computer. He looked a little envious, but he didn't ask Li Mu how he paid for the computer.
Li Mu didn't want him to misunderstand that he had started to make money from the Stone Overlord, so he said to him: "When the Stone Overlord is sold, I will buy you one too."
Zhao Kang waved his hand hurriedly: "This is too expensive, I can't have it."
As he spoke, Zhao Kang said seriously: "The Stone Overlord is the result of your labor alone. I just help you post on the Internet. The things I do, let alone a laptop, even this ten Not even one of them is worth it.”
Li Mu patted his shoulder and said seriously: "I can't sell the Stone Overlord for less than 500,000 yuan, and I won't give it to you if the price is too much, brother. I guarantee you can make 50,000 yuan from this deal."
"Fifty thousand..." Zhao Kang looked at Li Mu dumbfounded.
And Li Mu also looked at Zhao Kang.
He wanted to know whether Zhao Kang was stunned out of surprise or out of dissatisfaction. The former was fine, but if it was the latter, it would be a bit difficult to handle.
Li Mu does regard Zhao Kang as a brother, but a brother is a brother. After all, Li Mu hopes to keep Zhao Kang by his side for a long time and be his trusted right-hand man. Therefore, he must understand that Zhao Kang is facing a large amount of money. Will there be changes that you don’t want to see happen
If you talk about 50,000 yuan alone, it is indeed a lot, but based on the ratio between two people, it is an extremely disparity of nine to one, or even more than ten to one.
Li Mu promised to give Zhao Kang 50,000 yuan, and he had a plan in mind. If he was not satisfied with the share ratio, then the 50,000 yuan would be used to pay for his three-year college tuition fees. At least he would not let him have his period again when he was 19 in his previous life. However, similar cooperation will not happen again in the future.
However, what Li Mu didn't guess was that Zhao Kang did look a little dissatisfied, but the reason for his dissatisfaction was...
"Li Mu, what do you mean? Have mercy on me?"
Li Mu frowned: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Zhao Kang said angrily: "I know what I did. You can hire a lot of people to do such a trivial job for twenty yuan a day. Why should I get fifty thousand?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you to earn enough to pay for school?"
"You're talking about one year's tuition. I think it's only six to seven thousand yuan." Zhao Kang looked a little embarrassed: "Besides, I originally thought that what you said would require me to spend the whole summer following you, okay? I worked at night, but I only worked for a few days in total... "
Li Mu smiled slightly. This brother who was a boy in his previous life seemed trustworthy.
"You are not responsible for many things this time, but you will be responsible for more in the future." Li Mu said: "Sell the Stone Overlord and I will give you two things before developing the next plug-in."
"Which two?"
"Do a good job in publicity and expand distribution channels."
"Distribution?" Zhao Kang recalled Li Mu's remarks using ecstasy pills as a metaphor for cheats, and asked curiously: "You decided to sell it yourself?"
Li Mu nodded: "The Stone Age doesn't have long-term vitality, and we don't have the starting capital, so we can't expand channels at all. But after selling the Stone Overlord, we will have the starting capital."
"The disco, oh no, the game company won't mess with us?"
"Yes." Li Mu smiled and said, "That's why I have always said that we can do this business for up to two years. As long as we can get out of it smoothly before they take action."
