"The overall download count is over half a million."

After calculating for a while in front of the laptop, Zhao Kang gave Li Mu the latest results of his calculations.

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's almost time to get in touch with the Abe plug-in people first."

With that said, Li Mu sat in front of the computer and opened his QQ "Endless".

One night, Sun Peng added Li Mu more than a dozen times.

With a click of the mouse on the agree button, a friend with a brooding male as his avatar - "Dapeng Bird" - appeared in Li Mu's friend list.

This is Li Mu's first friend.

Sun Peng was holding a pancake and eating fruit for breakfast at this time. The others were still resting in another residential house next door. They were night owls who usually stayed on American time. The reason why he got up early today was because he was irritable. , has been waiting for that person to pass his friend request.

The sudden sound of coughing shocked Sun Peng. He clicked on it and immediately threw aside the pancake fruit in his hand. He opened the dialog box and quickly typed the next line: "Hello, I am the person in charge of the Abe plug-in." I want to talk to you about cooperation."

Li Mu replied: "We should be competitors, right? Is there anything we can cooperate with?"

Sun Peng in front of the computer sighed, this guy sounds so arrogant!

However, Sun Peng still patiently replied: "Stone Overlord is indeed a very good plug-in, but if you develop such a good plug-in, it can't always be free, right?"

Li Mu: "Didn't you see that the free trial period is fifteen days?"

Sun Peng: "Yes, but what happens after the trial period is over? How do you sell plug-ins in large quantities and efficiently? Should you sell them directly or on a monthly basis?"

Li Mu: "How I operate has anything to do with you?"

Sun Peng: "I have a sales channel that can sell more than 30,000 monthly subscriptions. I want to use it to cooperate with you. Are you interested?"

Li Mu: "You said 30,000, just 30,000?"

Sun Peng: "We have sold 30,000 copies last month. If there were no Stone Overlord, I would be trying to hit 40,000 copies this month. It is summer vacation now, and the number of players has increased dramatically."

Li Mu: "You mean, you want to help me distribute Stone Overlord?"

Sun Peng: "Okay, I want to be the general agent of Stone Overlord. If you price it at fifteen yuan, you can make a net profit of 6 yuan for every copy sold."

Giving Li Mu six yuan was Sun Peng's conservative figure. In the past, his Abe plug-in sold for 15 yuan, and his distributors took profits step by step. In his own hands, he only had a gross profit of 8 yuan. He had so many people asking for it. To support him, he felt that his share of only two yuan per share was very generous.

Li Mu: “Can you pay in advance?”

Sun Peng was stunned. Prepayment for goods was actually something he had always dreamed of, but the agents below did not buy it at all. They sold first and settled later. The money was drawn from the bottom up layer by layer. If this person insists on paying for goods in advance, , then it would be difficult for me to do it. I have to pay him first, and then wait for the dealer below to pay him back at the end of the month.

The goal of Abei's plug-in this month is to sell 40,000 copies. At present, it seems that with such a large download volume of Stone Overlord, if charging starts, taking advantage of the timing of the summer vacation, selling 50,000 copies will not be a problem. Each copy will be given to the other party for six yuan. As for money, you have to take out 300,000 in cash first, and then how much can you earn? The gross profit is only two yuan per copy, and 50,000 copies is only 100,000 yuan.

One hundred thousand yuan alone is a lot, but I still have a team to support. The salaries of the employees in the two teams, the rent for the office, and the food and drink for several people cost tens of thousands of yuan a month, and the rest is If you divide it with two other people who have shares, you will only have more than 10,000 yuan left, right? In order to make more than 10,000 yuan, I need to advance 300,000 yuan every month. How do I do this business

Sun Peng: "We can't do this. The profit margin is too low, and we have to advance so much. The profit is not enough to support the team. We are the merger of two plug-in teams. I don't know if you have heard of it. Qianyu and Abe.”

Li Mu: "Both of your teams are engaged in programming, right? What I don't understand is, if you buy my plug-in, why do you need technicians?"

One sentence stopped Sun Peng in his tracks.

Yes, if you don’t develop plug-ins yourself, what will you do with the team in front of you? Holding back

Li Mu asked again: "Are the sales channels in your personal hands?"

Sun Peng: "Yes."

Li Mu: "Well, for one million, I will sell you the program and all the source code, and you can operate it yourself. If your sales channels are so powerful, you can sell 30,000 to 40,000 copies a month, and you will have at least You can earn more than ten thousand or even two hundred thousand, and the money will be back in half a year."

Sun Peng suddenly froze in front of the computer.

He made a mental calculation.

From his point of view, it is not difficult to sell 50,000 copies of Stone Overlord per month. If he takes it and sells it through his own channels, he can recover eight yuan for every copy sold, which is 400,000 yuan a month.

This is not gross profit, this is pure profit!

I don’t have to be fettered by these two teams, I don’t have to work hard on development, I don’t have to invest in costs, and I don’t have to hang out with people like Jia Bei. I can make 400,000 yuan a month by myself. I dare not say anything else. I can make a fortune by myself after selling it for half a year. Got it!

Almost instantly, Sun Peng felt the relief of getting rid of all the burdens. He was shaking with excitement and asked Li Mu on QQ: "Can it be cheaper? I can't afford so much money."

Li Mu: "It's not cheap. You have three days to think about it. You are not the only one who wants to get this plug-in from me these days."

Sun Peng: "Can you leave a phone number? I've thought about contacting you."

Li Mu: “Just contact me via QQ.”

Li Mu closed QQ, Zhao Kang looked at Li Mu as if he were a god, and asked: "Did he really agree to one million?"

Li Mu thought for a moment: "I guess it's probably because he doesn't have that much money."

The entire industry chain took almost two years to achieve a turnover of tens of millions. Sun Peng had a team to support and shareholders to pay dividends. He had been busy for so long, and he probably didn't even earn half a million.

Li Mu's guess was correct. Sun Peng did the math and found that he had earned more than 400,000 yuan after working for so long.

Moreover, the business has gradually improved in the past two or three months, but it was suppressed by the Stone Overlord and had no way out.

However, Sun Peng has been making Stone Age plug-ins. He is very confident in the Stone Age game, and can even be said to be blindly optimistic. Although he feels that the price of one million is very high and outrageous, but deep down in his heart He firmly believes that if he really buys it for one million, he should be able to recover his capital within one quarter.

So the question is, where can I get enough one million

Sun Peng is not a child of a wealthy family, otherwise he wouldn't be doing this business. He has more than 400,000 yuan, and if he asks his family for help, the most they can provide is a hundred thousand yuan, which is outrageous.

It seems that if he wants to monopolize the big cake of stone tool overlord, he has the appetite, but not the teeth.

But when he thought about it, he thought of his other partner.

That was the one before Jia Bei joined the team. A rough calculation shows that he should have earned over 200,000 yuan during this period, right? And his family should also be able to sponsor a little bit. The two parties can work together, and then negotiate with the one who insists on the price, trying to get 800,000 yuan, and then the two of them can do it together, just two people, and no one else is needed.

Sun Peng quickly made up his mind that the partner was trustworthy and had always been obedient. He was not as uncontrollable as Jia Bei.

Sun Peng immediately turned off his QQ, smoked a cigarette, got up and went to the house next door that they used as a dormitory, and called everyone up.

Under the gaze of eight or nine people, Sun Peng, who looked sad, sighed deeply, threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stamped it out: "Brothers, I decided to quit."

"What??" Except for the two partners, no one else could accept it.

Although they had a premonition of this day coming, it was really difficult for them to accept that they had never made a lot of money, but they still earned several thousand per month, which was much better than today's white-collar workers. If they disbanded, wouldn't it be all over

Before, they had extravagantly hoped that Sun Peng and the other two partners could spend some money and lead everyone to carry on for a while.

At this time, Jia Bei also said angrily: "Fuck, I can quit, there's no fucking point anymore, go home for a while, and try again if a new game comes out. Anyway, I don't have to play "Stone Age" anymore. !”

One of the technicians who had been following Jabei had a sad face: "That Technician who never stops fighting is so awesome. Since he has started to enter the plug-in market, naturally he can't just do the Stone Age!"

"Fuck!" Jia Bei cursed: "This grandson is clearly trying to force us to death! I still don't fucking believe it! Can he monopolize this industry by himself?"

Sun Peng waved his hand: "Don't say it's useless, let's do the math. Since we are going our separate ways, we should try our best to get together as well as possible. For everyone's salary this month, the three of us who have shares will pay for it, and it will be settled on a daily basis. Today, these two houses will be returned this month. Computers and other equipment, my brothers from Qianyu and I can take away their own computers. I can give my brothers a job. They can program and have computers. , you can do something else in the future.”

These computers cost four to five thousand yuan to assemble. Now including depreciation, they can be sold for at least two thousand to three thousand yuan. The price of electronic equipment is not falling very fast these days. Sun Peng can also be considered. More generous.

As soon as Sun Peng said this, everyone in Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, they still got a little benefit, and Sun Peng had done his best to be benevolent and righteous.

"Thousands of feathers are divided into computers, but I, Abe, are not the same! I and him didn't make much money in the first place."

Jia Bei was not happy. He had not made much money since he came here. He had three people working for him. The three computers they used were just installed two or three months ago. They were very new and could be bought for tens of thousands of dollars. .
