053 No need to dwell on the past glory

Huo Yongshan not being able to learn well was something everyone knew. After finishing high school, what would Huo Yongshan do in the future? Go to work in the south, or return home and continue farming? No matter which choice he made, it would be difficult to see Wei Dongsheng's hope in a counterattack.

However, in this age, Internet cafe profit margins are basically sitting at the cash register counting money, as many computers as there is a steady stream of income.

In order to improve his white lies, Huo Yongshan unconsciously borrowed Wei Dongsheng's intangible assets to introduce him to his family members: Firstly, Wei Dongsheng is his brother; secondly, Wei Dongsheng's academic performance is very good, he is the first in Wu Ping's first grade; thirdly, Wei Dongsheng is very good at making money; secondly, Wei Dongsheng is able to sell cards for money during junior high school; into high school, he is even better, and directly started a company in Yanjing; fourthly, Wei Dongsheng treats Huo Yongshan as if he was his brother, not only sponsored him to open up an internet cafe, but also led him to the right path.

Huo Yongshan's family had a simple view of good and evil. When they heard that Wei Dongsheng's grades were good enough to be first in the second grade, they instantly believed that Wei Dongsheng was a good person as well as a good student. This was also a derivative of the school's intangible assets. Many parents and even more citizens immediately had a good impression of a student's academic performance, as if it was linked with moral character. This kind of simple concept of good and evil actually wasn't limited to schools. Once one entered society and heard that someone had good business or earning ability, most people would instantly have a good impression of them, as if an entrepreneur was more trustworthy than an operator.

Hearing that Wei Dongsheng had come to the Internet Cafe today, Huo Yongzhen and Huo Yongmei immediately bought a pile of ingredients and prepared a sumptuous dinner for him. With Huo Yongshan's personality, he would definitely not sit down to watch his two sisters busy themselves. He would also personally wash vegetables and cut fish, and the three of them would take turns to stand guard at the Internet Cafe's cashier and fix lunch together. The hometown dishes for lunch were very tasty. The meal time was filled with the words of thanks from Huo Yongzhen and Huo Yongmei, and it was impossible for them to change the topic. Wei Dongsheng was not used to this kind of atmosphere. After the Whirlwind Assault finished finishing his lunch, he bade farewell to the Huo Yongzhen and Huo Yongmei sisters, and started discussing the future together with Huo Yongshan and the bones of the several operating internet cafe's Game Studio.

At the peak of the Internet Cafe's Game Studio, the highest daily sales were 1.451 million yuan; due to the decline of all kinds of reasons, the daily sales on February 10, 2003 had already shrunk to 121 thousand yuan. Longitudinal comparison of monthly sales, the decline impression is more obvious:

In October 2002, total monthly sales were 29.305 million yuan;

In November 2002, total monthly sales were 15.956 million yuan;

In December 2002, total monthly sales were 13.743 million yuan;

In January 2003, total monthly sales were 9.02 million yuan.

Both the 1.7 version of "The Return of the Devil" and the legendary copyright incident broke out at the end of January. Considering the brutal fact that February 10's daily sales have shrunk to 121 thousand yuan, February 2003's total monthly sales are bound to have a cliff cut.

After all, due to the limitations of the network and the large environment, the Privacy s industry chain had developed greatly and the monthly earnings were not as high as Wei Dongsheng had initially imagined. In October 2002, pure profit on account was 802 thousand yuan; in November 2002, pure profit on account was 2.692 million yuan; in December 2002, pure profit on account was 3.013 million yuan; and in January 2003, pure profit on account was 3.209 million yuan. Different from the equipment transactions of the internet cafe's Game Studio, Wei Dongsheng had absolute control over the Privacy s industry chain. As the Privacy industry market expanded, his profits kept increasing.

In January 2003, Game Studio's monthly sales totaled 9.02 million yuan, with a 60% bonus share that was a simple conversion, with a gross profit of 5.412 million yuan. If there was a cliff fall in February, the profits from the equipment transaction would be overtaken by the Privacy's industrial chain.

The profits from the equipment transaction were very short.

If Wei Dongsheng had the Privacy s' industrial chain and the Spring and Autumn Series's vision, if Huo Yongshan was already on the right path to an internet cafe, then the rest of the Game Studio members in the internet cafe were all panicking and uneasy. They were lucky to be able to participate in Wei Dongsheng's equipment business. These core members relied on their 5% sales share and their bonuses, and had accumulated an unimaginable amount of wealth. For example, Tian Youliang, who was ranked first in terms of business, used his unique sales talent to tap into the potential of each server. This windfall was welcome, but what about the future? Without the countless high-end equipment from the Internet Cafe, the Game Studio, and the Legendary Web games provided the market, no matter how much of a sales talent Tian Youliang had, it would be hard for him to get nothing.

The daily sales of the Internet Cafe Game Studio dropped again and again, from 1.451 million to 121 thousand. Although the total sales were only controlled by Wei Dongsheng and Huo Yongshan, all the student agents could still feel the heavy pressure of the coming night.

From frugality to extravagance to ease, from extravagance to frugality to difficulty.

No one wants to go back to the poor high school of a few months ago, if possible.

At this moment, Wei Dongsheng officially broke through the cruel reality of the beautiful dream that was about to be shattered.

A leading member raised his hand and suggested: "A lower price promotion should be able to bring back sales."

Wei Dongsheng shook his head and rejected: "I can't promote it anymore. The reason why the studio has been running safely is because of our self-restraint. Every server has set a limit on the supply of equipment, so as to ensure that the legendary operations are not adversely affected. If the unscrupulous sale of equipment had a serious impact on the operation plans of the Enormous Network, they would have plundered our internet cafe at all costs. Remember, we are here to earn money, not to cause trouble, and even more so not to provoke the Operator. "

With the origin of the goods in Wei Dongsheng's hands, he refused to lower the price to promote the goods, while the other core members could not do anything about it.

If we can't increase the quantity, how can we pull back the daily sales?

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, then Wei Dongsheng voiced out his thoughts, "It's better to play in the middle of the day, or else it'll be a loss to the moon. Everything has its own lifespan. Game Studio had already passed its most glorious moment, so even if he could barely hold on, he would not be able to improve. Rather than linger on the past glory, why not open a new future, right? "

Wei Dongsheng gave a brief description of the early signs of SARS and did not reveal his true intentions for ending SARS in advance. Instead, he said in a sarcastic tone, "It's fine if vinegar is more difficult to be transported, but how do you feel about selling indigowoad root across regions?"

Huo Yongshan and the members of the Workshop looked at each other in dismay.

As I said before, the Wu Ping County is located in the interior, and it is impossible to go directly to the south, or directly to the north. The country temporarily forbade the media to report the SARS disease without authorization, because of the lack of a basic understanding of it in the small town of Wu Ping, and even did not know that Guangdong province such as indigowoad root snap up. Huo Yongshan and the other core members of the Workshop did not understand the severity of the SARS incident, nor did they have sufficient business sensitivity, hence they were at a loss as to Wei Dongsheng's suggestion.

Just as he was feeling awkward and silent, a voice suddenly sounded out, "I believe you."

Wei Dongsheng looked towards the direction of the voice and saw that it came from the first ranked Tian Youliang in the sales business of the internet cafe.

Tian Youliang explained further, "I believe in you, Brother Wei. If you say that you want to sell indigowoad root, I will sell it."

Wei Dongsheng laughed and said: "Since you trust me that much, aren't you afraid that the bamboo basket would be wasted?"

Tian Youliang said in a serious tone, "I believe in you. "If you're willing, Brother Wei, I'll sell all the 500,000 yuan I have saved up for indigowoad root."

Wei Dongsheng: "Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Tian Youliang: "I've stopped studying and worked before, so I know how hard it is to earn money. Before meeting you, to be able to get a job worth two thousand yuan a month, is already my, Tian Youliang's, daydreams. I never expected to make half a million dollars in half a year. If you want to compensate me, then compensate me. Just treat it as me, Tian Youliang, having no life of wealth. "

Wei Dongsheng understood Tian Youliang.

Tian Youliang was not willing to live a normal life, he had always had some ulterior motives.

Tian Youliang set himself as a hidden chess player beside Huo Yongshan, and took the initiative to monitor Huo Yongshan on his behalf.
