Studio 009
Returning back to the Internet Cafe, Huo Yongshan quietly handed over the control to Wei Dongsheng.
Tian Youliang's hands trembled, he tightly held onto the thirty one hundred dollar bills for a long time, and suddenly could not help but cry.
Tian Youliang's future was bleak.
Learning to see no hope, go to the south to work also has no future, youth in a daze unknowingly to the end. One more year and you will graduate from high school. What can you do in the future when your carefree school career is coming to an end? It was because his heart was filled with confusion that Tian Youliang decided to give up and immerse himself in the game online, enjoying the glory of being able to operate the Virtual World.
It was at this time that Tian Youliang met Wei Dongsheng, Wei Dongsheng's Game Studio. Tian Youliang was one of the first players to enter the Legend Ranking Tournament. Due to being unfamiliar with game manipulation, he made a lot of mistakes and decided to head to the new server to try again. Tian Youliang's poor academic performance did not mean he would not bother with other things. Adding to that, with his decent gaming skills and focus on Legend as his home, he had quite a bit of reputation on their server. These reputations were originally not valuable, but he had luckily met Wei Dongsheng. His gaming career suddenly had a way to cash in, in a short one day, he managed to earn forty-four thousand trading points, which was two thousand two hundred yuan (commission) and eight hundred yuan (prize).
This was three thousand yuan!
Three thousand yuan in 2002, three thousand yuan in a small county.
Last year, Tian Youliang left school and worked himself to death for two months. Besides the expenses for travel and food and lodging, he only spent 1600 yuan. Who would have thought that while playing games and calling friends to talk about equipment business, he would easily earn three thousand yuan from sitting in front of his computer.
Tian Youliang had suffered in the factory before, so he had barely been trained in the society. He understood better than other students how hard it was to earn money. Holding the thirty hundred-dollar bills, Tian Youliang's mind was filled with a blissful dizziness. He did not know what to say, and could only follow the lead of the movie and swear stiffly, "Brother Wei, Brother Huo, I will sell my cheap life to you two. From today onwards, if you say that you want me to head east, I will definitely not head west. "
Other students might not have as many emotions as Tian Youliang, but as the saying goes, eating people means talking too fast, taking people too short, they followed Tian Youliang and Wei Dongsheng and became loyal. In other words, because the transfer of funds from the bank was more complicated, Wei Dongsheng's equipment trade took the quality route, with the lowest price of 300 Yuan per order. In other words, as long as the deal can be settled, the student agent salesman will get at least 15 yuan. Fifteen Yuan was definitely not a lot, but taking into account the living standards of the small towns in 2002 and the fact that Wei Dongsheng had originally been living expenses of fifteen Yuan per month, he understood that this group of poor students would definitely not underestimate fifteen Yuan per cent.
Those who received the money were truly grateful to Huo Yongshan and Wei Dongsheng for giving them money. Those who did not receive the money today were also hoping for the orders that they had signed a contract verbally but had not made it in time. However, considering that the opening hours of the bank were fixed, Wei Dongsheng gathered the working hours of the student agent salesman into one day, strictly ordering everyone to not stay up all night to play games, and to ensure sufficient sleep and to carry out the work tomorrow.
After the students dispersed in groups of two or three, Wei Dongsheng began to plan the specific matters of the Game Studio. Initially, Wei Dongsheng thought that he was not familiar with Huo Yongshan's friends, so it was inconvenient for him to directly manage this group of children. Now that the situation had changed, Huo Yongshan was afraid of the money coming at such a fast speed, and was not willing to shoulder the responsibility of being the Game Studio. Wei Dongsheng could only take out the second plan in time to personally take part in the formation of the Game Studio. Fortunately, Wei Dongsheng had long understood that his knowledge was limited, so he had prepared a detailed plan for the formation of the Game Studio in advance.
The Game Studio's foundation was network bandwidth and computer equipment. Game Studio was only a temporary business that had accumulated its first pot of gold. Wei Dongsheng did not plan to do it for a long time, nor did he plan to spend the money to buy computer equipment and rent a business premises. Thinking about it, Wei Dongsheng decided to rent this Internet Cafe at market price for a while.
Wu Ping County in 2002, the general situation of the internet cafe industry, from six in the morning to two in the evening; from eleven in the evening to six in the morning, it was an all-nighters, priced at six yuan. At extreme hours of work, each computer has a turnover of 40 yuan. The Internet Cafe has about 80 computers, or 3,200 yuan a day. This was the limit of their income. Other than staying idle for a while, in order to gather people, the Internet Cafe would even introduce activities such as "100 yuan for 110 yuan" to further compress their real profits.
However, for the sake of convenience later, Wei Dongsheng did not request for the other party to lower the price. Instead, he directly demanded to rent the Internet Cafe for a period of time on a 3,200 yuan per day. To put it simply, Wei Dongsheng and Wei Dongsheng had rented all of the computers in this Internet Cafe at the normal market price of a 24-hour flight.
At first glance, Wei Dongsheng's conditions were extremely generous, which meant that every computer in the internet cafe would operate twenty-four hours a day. However, things were not that simple. Internet cafes were the same as other services. Customers all had a certain amount of inertia. They would go to any Internet Cafe they were used to. The Internet Cafe had been rented out by Wei Dongsheng for a period of time, so a large number of regular customers would definitely go to other Internet cafes. If Wei Dongsheng made a request for a lease for the first time, even if the fee was 3500 yuan per day, the owner of the Internet Cafe would likely reject him outright. After all, he could not determine the lease time for Wei Dongsheng, nor could he predict the future impact of closing down.
However, Wei Dongsheng had Huo Yongshan. The owners of the internet cafe could ignore Wei Dongsheng's small premium, but they could not ignore the destructive power of Huo Yongshan's River Crossing Dragon. The owner of the internet cafe saw that Huo Yongshan's attitude was abnormally firm and tried to find out that there was no possibility of compromise. In the end, he decided to give Huo Yongshan face and agreed to close down for a period of time before leasing the internet cafe to Huo Yongshan. The owner of the internet cafe also gave him his conditions. He first praised Huo Yongshan and gave him face by lowering the rent to 3,000 yuan a day. Then, the owner of the Internet Cafe slowly put forward the real requirement that the lease money must be paid in full, one day in advance, and one day in advance; if he delays the lease money for three days, he can immediately and unconditionally stop performing the lease contract.
Game Studio had sufficient cash flow, hence the lease contract was signed.
The other details were all dealt with in a similar way, with Huo Yongshan's formless prestige appearing on one side, and the other hand, he used money to open a path and sign a contract. On the second day, the student agents promptly regrouped at the Internet Cafe. The Internet Cafe had already changed into the Game Studio's style. All of the empty computers were equipped with the first support provided by Wei Dongsheng. They would automatically find the way, automatically fight monsters, automatically upgrade, automatically return to the city, automatically replenish their HP, automatically counterattack malicious PK, automatically recognize the value of equipment, and so on.
Speaking of which, the third paragraph had the highest skill content but because it had a single function, the amount of code required to install it was extremely small. The second paragraph had more code content than the third paragraph, but it was also far less than the first. The amount of code hanging out of the first line was enormous. If he had to rely entirely on Wei Dongsheng to type the code himself, he would need at least two weeks to develop it. In order to save time, Wei Dongsheng did not hesitate to copy all of the basic codes from the main frame and the basic interface.
As for the specific functions, there was no need to elaborate further.
Overall, Wei Dongsheng's first auxiliary system could be considered as the expanded version of contemporary auxiliary system. There was only automation and intelligence in this area, which far surpassed contemporary peers. In addition to providing the student agent with a small number, this account also covered up the origin of the equipment to a certain extent. This made the student agent misunderstand that the equipment they were selling had also been dropped through a similar method of assisting them in killing monsters.
