Lu Yang invited Gu Xiaowan and Lin Ziwei to finish their meal and then sent them home.
Seeing that Lu Yang was inviting her to dinner, Gu Xiaowan didn't care about what happened yesterday.
She chatted with Lu Yang about tomorrow's arrangements.
Lu Yang planned to go to Ice Age tomorrow morning to discuss business, so he said: "I have to do my homework at home tomorrow."
Gu Xiaowan said softly. She had almost finished her homework last night. She would finish the rest tonight and she could relax all day tomorrow.
Lin Ziwei is going to the store to help her mother in the morning.
Lu Yang saw Gu Xiaowan's thoughts and said, "How about we go to the Jinma River for a picnic and barbecue tomorrow afternoon."
Gu Xiaowan's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, if you need anything, I'll buy it."
Lin Ziwei thought that she would be finished by tomorrow afternoon, so she agreed.
Lu Yang asked Gu Xiaowan to prepare some snacks and skewers. Meng Xiaopeng's father used to do barbecue, and their family had a ready-made barbecue rack.
Gu Xiaowan secretly remembered the materials Lu Yang needed.
It had been a long time since she had had a picnic, and she was full of anticipation just thinking about it.
After some discussion, they parted, and Lu Yang rode his bicycle back to his home.
Shen Lijuan was cooking in the kitchen, and the smell of oil smoke drifted into the living room.
Lu Yang went over to help his mother turn on the range hood.
Shen Lijuan casually turned off the range hood: "Don't you know that turning on the range hood consumes electricity? I'll just fry a dish for three minutes."
Lu Yang: "Mom, do you know that you can easily get lung disease if you don't turn on the range hood for a long time? According to media statistics, women are more likely to get lung cancer than men. Do you know why?"
Shen Lijuan really didn't understand this, so she subconsciously asked: "Why?"
Lu Yang explained: "One is because of the fumes from cooking, and the other is burning incense and worshiping Buddha."
He knew that his mother was not particularly superstitious, but his grandmother was very superstitious and would go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
Lu Yang went there with his grandmother when he was a child. In the airtight temple, the incense was as thick as silk.
Later, grandma often coughed in the middle of the night. Her originally strong body became worse every year, and she died early.
Seeing that her son cared about her, Shen Lijuan didn't care.
"I know, I know, I'll turn on the range hood next time I cook. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. I haven't seen you all day."
"Oh, I've eaten!"
Shen Lijuan put her hands on her hips and stared at Lu Yang.
"Why didn't you know to make a phone call when you were eating out? You complain about me eating leftovers every day. Can you tell me if there are no leftovers from this meal?"
"My mobile is out of battery."
"You don't know how to find a public phone when there's no power?"
"I know, I know. I will definitely call you first next time I eat. You eat first."
Lu Yang returned exactly what his mother said just now, leaving Shen Lijuan dumbfounded.
After dealing with his mother, Lu Yang returned to his room.
He took out the money from his pocket and counted it secretly. He earned a total of 11,230 yuan. Including the 1,000 yuan given to Lu Yong, he earned 12,000 yuan this month.
Well, Lu Yang is very satisfied with this income.
If we take over all Internet cafes in Mingjiang City, our monthly income is expected to be stable at around 20,000 yuan.
Wait until July, when schools are on summer vacation, and his game will continue to grow, at least double what it is now.
However, this kind of income does not last long. With the entry of other private servers, it will further erode the game market, so it is just a chance to make a lot of money.
But at that time, I was sure to earn the first pot of gold, which would be more than enough to develop other industries.
Lu Yang secretly hid the money and called Meng Xiaopeng's home.
The call was answered by Meng Xiaopeng's mother. She heard it was Lu Yang and handed the phone to Meng Xiaopeng.
After a while, Meng Xiaopeng's voice came from inside: "Lu Yang, what do you want from me?"
Lu Yang: "Remember to come early tomorrow, if I have anything to do with you."
Meng Xiaopeng: "Are you going to take extra lessons?"
Lu Yang: "Yes!"
Meng Xiaopeng agreed immediately.
This was the contact code between the two of them. At that time, there were landlines at home. In order to prevent their parents from suspecting, they used make-up classes as a cover-up.
At night, Lu Yang lay in bed unable to sleep. Facing the watery night, the past events in his mind penetrated every nerve.
He checked the time and saw that it was only ten o'clock, no wonder he couldn't sleep.
This time used to be the day when nightlife started.
Lu Yang took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and prepared to quietly go to the balcony to smoke one.
As a result, I saw a cigarette butt on the balcony flickering.
Lao Lu actually came out to smoke too.
Lu Yang went over and patted Lao Lu on the shoulder, "Dad, lend me a hand."
Lu Jianjun looked at his son, smiled, and handed him the lighter.
"Why did you come out shirtless? Be careful of catching a cold."
"It's okay. I've slept on the hot bed since I was young. I'm young and full of energy!"
The father and son started puffing away on the balcony.
"Dad, do you know that game project I told you about last time?"
"I know, what? The funds have been spent?"
"How is it possible? Today is the day I have been operating for one month and I got my money back."
Lu Jianjun asked curiously: "How much?"
Lu Yang stretched out his finger: "More than 10,000 yuan, I will also pay Lu Yong a thousand yuan as salary."
Lu Jianjun was stunned. First of all, he thought about whether what his son said was true or false. Secondly, he thought about whether his son was doing serious business.
Isn't there any deceit or deception involved?
What investment project can have a 150% return rate?
Any project that brings in quick money is written in the criminal law.
Lao Lu asked: "Is your money coming from the right way?"
Lu Yang said: "My background is a bit shady, but I am the kind of person who doesn't punish others because others are doing the same thing."
That's how it is in private servers. Just shoot and change places. Unless you do it very blatantly, you will attract others' attention. In a small third- and fourth-tier city like Mingjiang City, who will pay attention.
Lu Yang patiently introduced the game revenue of the past two days to Lao Lu.
After listening to this, Lao Lu said earnestly: "Yangyang, you have to pay attention to this kind of thing. We must keep our feet on the ground."
Lu Yang was noncommittal about this, but if you were too down-to-earth in doing business, you would definitely be cheated.
What's the point of doing business?
There is no business without treachery!
Lu Yang asked Lao Lu about things in the factory, and Lao Lu said that the final prototype of the MP3 will be finalized in two days, and mass production will be attempted at that time.
Lu Jianjun used to work on pirated tapes and recorders, but now he is working on MP3 products, which can be used by those channel agents in the past, and there is no need to re-establish channel dealers.
This is why Lu Yang asked Lao Lu to develop MP3.
After the two of them finished smoking, Lao Lu went to Lu Yang's room to confirm the money his son had earned.
When he looked at the real banknotes and his son's skillful counting skills, his eyes couldn't help but blur.
A high school student actually started a business.
Lu Yang took out 5,000 yuan and handed it to Lao Lu.
"Dad, I said before that I will give you the money when I make money. Do you remember the land purchase for the factory?"
"Remember, you should keep this money for now. Doing business requires long-term success. Remember not to be blinded by short-term gains."
Lu Jianjun felt that his son was too young and would easily go astray when he suddenly made so much money.
