Chapter 76 Two thousand dollars in exchange for a chance to negotiate
Late at night, Luo Haibo staggered out of the club, obviously having drank a lot.
He put his arm around Lu Yang's shoulders.
"My brother is very open-minded. I will help you connect with me no matter what. As for the boss, just leave it to me."
"Then thank you, brother."
Luo Haibo was quite satisfied with Lu Yang's arrangement. He had never been so happy in his life after spending nearly two thousand yuan.
It's very easy to establish a friendship between men. Just drink a few times and then go whoring together...
We are fair-weather friends. It’s okay to do some minor favors or brag a little bit at the dinner table.
Lu Yang hailed a taxi for Luo Haibo and then watched him leave.
After seeing the other party off, Lu Yang went to the rental house on his own.
Gu Xiaowan sent a text message to Lu Yang, mainly asking him what he had been busy with these two days.
Lu Yang: I ran business near our school.
Gu Xiaowan: How is our school? Is it big?
Lu Yang: Of course it’s big. You’ll probably get lost when you come here.
Gu Xiaowan: You always like to exaggerate.
Lu Yang: When school starts, come here and I will take you into the woods to see if you can get out.
Gu Xiaowan: I can definitely go out. I have a good sense of the road.
Lu Yang: Okay, let's make an agreement then.
Gu Xiaowan: No problem. If you lose, treat me to dinner.
Lu Yang chuckled. This request was so simple that it made people feel distressed. It was not like the girls who later asked for Prada and SK-II.
Gu Xiaowan: Remember to visit more of the delicious places in the provincial capital, so that I won’t have to look for them again when I get there.
Lu Yang: No problem. What have you been busy with at home these days?
Gu Xiaowan: Watch TV series, go shopping, surf the Internet, sleep, and sometimes just hang out for a while when you feel bored.
Lu Yang: Do you feel like I have ever appeared in your life?
The other end of the text message did not reply immediately, but fell into silence.
Lu Yang looked at the text message he had sent. Is this ambiguous?
It depends on how the other party understands it.
If you think about it more briefly, this statement is not ambiguous.
If you think about it more deeply, it's a bit intriguing.
After waiting for a while, Gu Xiaowan replied: Of course you showed up, you were my deskmate.
Lu Yang stared at the word "deskmate" and suddenly thought of Lao Lang's song "deskmate you".
Who married you who is sentimental?
Who read your diary...
Who tied up your long hair...
Who made your wedding dress?
This is youth. There is a girl like that living in everyone’s youth. She was obviously very much in love, but in the end she lost to reality.
Returning to the rental house, Lu Yang chatted with Meng Xiaopeng and Lu Yong before returning to his bedroom.
Lu Yang used his laptop to open the administrator backend of the legendary private server.
The number of registered players has skyrocketed, from more than 600 to more than 2,300 now.
Summer vacations account for a large part of this. The actual number of active players in the game is about 1,700.
If each person recharges 30 yuan into the game every month, his monthly business turnover will be around 50,000 yuan.
Subtracting sharing expenses, the net income is 40,000 yuan.
This is just a guaranteed calculation.
Because many players recharge more than 30 yuan, spending hundreds or even thousands of yuan in a month.
Lu Yang looked at someone on the recharge ranking list and smiled.
I just like this kind of rich player!
Not short of money!
This is also the reason why he came to the provincial capital to promote the game. The provincial capital's economy is more developed than Mingjiang City. Whether it is energy, metallurgy, machinery, or chemical industry, it is several times that of Mingjiang City.
When the time comes and there are more wealthy players like the second-generation coal and second-generation officials, he will be able to settle down.
In the middle of the night, Lu Yang began to optimize and update patches.
...
The next morning, Lu Yong and Meng Xiaopeng went out to run business, while Lu Yang was sleeping at home.
Mainly because I slept too late last night.
Lu Yang woke up halfway when he saw the call from Luo Haibo.
Luo Haibo told Lu Yang that the boss was here. After his introduction, the boss agreed to meet and chat, and he asked Lu Yang to come over as soon as possible.
Lu Yang hurriedly washed up and went to Wangyu Internet Cafe without even eating breakfast.
Arriving at Wangyu Internet Cafe, Lu Yang greeted Tan Jiameng. Due to the presence of Luo Haibo, he did not dare to appear too familiar.
On Luo Haibo's recommendation, he went to the boss's office. Luo Haibo whispered that the boss's surname was Liu, his name was Liu Xingyao, and his family owned two mines in Yuci.
Lu Yang suddenly realized that he was a second-generation coal worker. He was awesome.
Luo Haibo led Lu Yang to the office of his boss Liu Xingyao.
Liu Xingyao is sitting in front of the computer playing games. He looks quite handsome and wears trendy sportswear, which represents avant-garde and individuality.
Luo Haibo introduced Lu Yang.
Liu Xingyao stood up and shook hands with Lu Yang.
"I thought the person I met would be a middle-aged uncle, but I didn't expect it to be a student."
Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Brother Liu, you're welcome. I'm a student. I will come here to study at university in September."
"I heard from Lao Luo about your game. Have you brought it over and demonstrated it to me?"
Lu Yang took out his laptop and logged into the game client.
Liu Xingyao was instantly attracted to the games inside.
It’s not that he has never played the game, on the contrary, he has played the genuine Legend for a long time.
"Where did you get this source code?"
After all, I am an expert, and I can tell at a glance that this private server is a replica.
Lu Yang explained: "I bought this from an engineer when I was traveling in Europe."
Luo Haibo was stunned. Lu Yang didn't look like someone who had been abroad.
Liu Xingyao stared at the laptop for a while, shook his head, and said: "This code has actually appeared abroad. I originally planned to make this game."
Lu Yang's eyes gradually narrowed.
If Liu Xingyao wants to compete in the market that he finally won in the provincial capital, the result can be imagined.
Liu Xingyao continued: "It's a pity that I don't know much about computer technology. My university major is business administration, so running this Internet cafe is just a piece of cake. You can be the first to make this game, which shows that you have a good business acumen."
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be competing with him, Lu Yang smiled and said, "Actually, I'm just doing it in a small way. I have nothing to do during the holidays."
Liu Xingyao tried the game and looked at Lu Yang again.
He has such a mind and vision at this age, he deserves a high look.
"What's your profit model like?"
Lu Yang explained the recharge method and management method of private server games.
"What benefits will it bring to me if I install your game?"
Lu Yang showed the game growth data to Liu Xingyao. The table showed that the number of downloads and registered players were doubling.
"This month's data has increased by 300% compared to last month. It won't be long before this game becomes popular in provincial capitals. By then, if your Internet cafe doesn't have this game, some customers may have been lost."
"If I want to make a game, I can copy a game just like yours."
Lu Yang stared at Liu Xingyao, guessing his intentions.
Are you really planning to compete with him, or is it just for bargaining?
