Hearing what Lu Yiming said was so serious, Li Quanwang was immediately startled, and said with some fear: "Fortunately, I came over to ask you, otherwise I would have been tricked without even knowing it."

Then, he remembered that Lu Yiming had made a lot of money and could buy planes worth billions, and he began to feel extremely melancholy again, and said, "Then what should I do now? I feel like I am completely

It’s useless. I have nothing to do after graduation. I just eat, drink and have fun every day. I feel like life is so boring.”

He felt that he had to make money, make a lot of money, otherwise he would fall behind Lu Yiming.

Although he is now worth tens of millions, and according to ordinary people's living standards, he will never be able to use up the money in his lifetime, but who would despise the fact that he has a lot of money?

Those who say they are content when everything is fine are either already financially free and brainwashing you to stop getting involved with them, or they are extremely poor and have no way to make money, so they can only use the spirit of Ah Q.

.

After selling the Tongxin Internet Cafe, he no longer had any business to his name, but he still had a large amount of money in his hands, but he had no idea how to use the money to make more money.

Many people from outside financial intermediaries have approached him privately, but they are such a mixed bag that Li Quanwang can't trust him. Now he only believes in what Lu Yiming said.

"How about I invest my money in your future capital? But this way of making money is too slow."

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although the rate of return of the Future Fund is amazing, it is simply the best choice for people who do not know how to invest. However, Li Quanwang made money from nothing in just a few years.

A fund worth tens of millions or a few percent would not attract any interest from him at all.

Lu Yiming was also aware of Li Quanwang's concerns, and what was even more clear was that for Li Quanwang, it was either a loss or a profit, so it was simply unrealistic for Li Quanwang to start a business, and he might not even be able to calculate the accounts.

But after all, they are best friends, how can Lu Yiming not help?

After thinking for a while, Lu Yiming asked: "What are you more interested in? As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. To start a business, you must first choose something you like, so that you can have the motivation to do it.

Only then will you be happy.”

Li Quanwang thought seriously for a while, and then said to Lu Yiming: "Does playing games count? I have a lot of fun playing games."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Forget it, why don't you count it? Look at Xiao Qinghe and Lu Yiping, aren't they just setting up a studio to play games and make money? Don't underestimate playing games. In the past few years, they have relied on "Legend of Hot Blood"

I’ve made millions.”

Needless to say, the vitality of "Legend of Hot Blood" is really strong. It has been two or three years since the server was launched. Not only has the number of players not decreased, but as the Internet fees in Internet cafes have dropped and the number of personal computers has increased, there have been more and more players.

.

However, Li Quanwang said with a distressed look: "But my parents won't let me."

Li Quanwang's parents are very traditional farmers with little education. They buy vegetables from farmers in the fields early in the morning and sell them in the vegetable market to earn a little profit. They are tired.

I'm going to die, but the money I actually earn is barely enough to live on.

Now, Li Quanwang and Lu Yiming have made a lot of money, and their family has moved into a villa. The couple did not continue to sell vegetables, but opened several storefronts in Bihai Longting and opened a small supermarket. Their life is simple and satisfying.

.

The wish of both of them is that Li Quanwang can find a good job, preferably a civil service examination or something, and have a stable source of income.

Games are a scourge. They all felt that Li Quanwang’s studies were so rubbish because he played games. If he didn’t play games, he would definitely be able to pass the Qingbei exam.

As a result, now that I have finally graduated, if I don’t find a decent job in a factory and play games again? That’s just not doing my job properly.

Lu Yiming said to Li Quanwang: "If you just play, you are not doing your job properly, but what if you are responsible for operating games? There will be more and more game players in the country. The older generation does not accept new things like electronic games, but when we wait

After this generation and the next generation fully grow up and have the right to speak, the size of the game market will be unimaginably large."

When Li Quanwang heard this, he immediately became excited and asked Lu Yiming excitedly: "So, the game can be made?"

But then Li Quanwang ran into trouble again: "But I just like playing games, I don't know how to make games."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "How can you make money by building a platform to make games? You can make a game platform and be responsible for operation and distribution. You don't need to make games yourself. Just develop a review and recommendation mechanism. Such a game platform will definitely

It’s very popular with players. If you have enough players, are you still worried that you won’t be able to make money?”

In 2002, the Haofang battle platform appeared. Although it provides more online services, it can also be regarded as a game platform. Players can enjoy many games by logging in to one account.

In the same year, the Steam system came out together with CS1.4Beta.

What Lu Yiming wants Li Quanwang to do is platforms like Steam and WeGame, which are similar to "game warehouses" and "game malls".

In China, because of the piracy problem, if you are a game platform now, you will definitely lose your mother even if you don’t recognize you.

But the game platform itself can also be an agent for the distribution of some overseas games, such as the master of online games - "World of Warcraft"!

Lu Yiming did not plan to act as an agent for this game himself. After all, Junzi Interactive Entertainment’s main business was game research and development, so he simply partnered with Li Quanwang to set up a new company to specialize in agenting overseas games.

Lu Yiming asked Li Quanwang: "Have you heard of the company Blizzard?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

Speaking of his areas of expertise, Li Quanwang suddenly became elated: "If you don't even know about Blizzard, how can you still be considered a gamer? I really like "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" that was just released in July. I should say.

Needless to say, Blizzard is indeed a major international game company, and the products produced by Blizzard must be high-quality products."

This was true before Blizzard was acquired by capital.

It's a pity that Blizzard later deteriorated, and all the core game designers resigned. The company was controlled by a group of professional managers who had no enthusiasm for games, so they made a lot of shady operations and were eventually kicked out of Blizzard.

In the domestic market, I can only say that I am committing suicide.

But that was in the future. At this time, Blizzard was still at its peak, dominating the entire PC game market.

Lu Yiming said: "According to my intelligence, Blizzard is developing a massively multiplayer online role-playing game called "World of Warcraft." I judge that this game will be disruptive to the entire game industry. It is definitely

It’s very profitable, you can go talk to Blizzard about agency rights now, it’s best to get Xia Guo’s agency rights in advance.”

On November 23, 2004, "World of Warcraft" will open its American server, and by then the attention of players from all over the world will be attracted.

And this game will also give players around the world a little Blizzard shock.

So if you want to negotiate terms with Blizzard, you have to do it before then.

Seeing that Lu Yiming said so seriously, Li Quanwang nodded seriously: Yes, I understand.

But then he had some doubts: "How do you know this game is subversive? "World of Warcraft" should still be in the development stage now, right? And the quality of the game is really as good as you said, why don't you act as an agent yourself?

ah?"

Lu Yiming curled his lips and said, "Aren't I letting you make money? If you don't want it, I'll take it."

Li Quanwang hurriedly said: "I want it, hey, I'll just say it casually, how can I not want it?"

Lu Yiming said seriously: "Actually, Junzi Interactive Entertainment is also developing a cross-generation online game that belongs to our Xia Kingdom. I can reveal the name to you first. It's called "Wizard". It is a large-scale online game with the background of Eastern Fairies.

, using the latest 3D virtual engine technology, and the gameplay is unique and novel, which can definitely bring players a new audio-visual enjoyment."

""The Wizard"?"

As a standard post-80s generation, it goes without saying that they are obsessed with martial arts novels and immortality novels. When he heard this name, Li Quanwang's eyes lit up.

"How far has your game been developed? When will it be launched?"

Lu Yiming let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "It will be at least the end of next year. This game has been developed for more than two years and has cost 300 million."

"Three hundred million have been spent?"

Li Quanwang couldn't help but be speechless: "I like games just because I like to play them. People like Ma Teng can only represent foreign games at most. How about you just spend money and start research and development from scratch? Is this the happiness of rich people? I love it.

Already."

Lu Yiming smiled and scolded: "I love you, hurry up and find Blizzard, otherwise I'm afraid there will be many competitors to compete with you if it's too late, and then you won't be able to negotiate any good terms."

"Oh, I'll go back and study it right away. But you have to help me."

Blizzard is the world's top game company, and Li Quanwang is just a bad game player. He was very frightened when he was asked to negotiate a game agent. After all, he was in his twenties and had never experienced such a big scene.

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will help you. What I ask of you is to win the Xia Kingdom agent operation rights for "World of Warcraft", and then form a team to develop a game platform similar to Steam. You can study it

Study this steam, see how they do it, and then copy it directly. For example, call it wegame or something, which literally means our game."

Two days later, Lu Yiming came to Zhonghai, walked into the office of Junzi Interactive Entertainment Network Technology Co., Ltd., and found Jiang Rongfa.

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Rongfa saw Lu Yiming coming and stood up immediately: "Mr. Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "It's okay. I'm bored at home, so I came over to take a look. How is the development of "Wizard" going?"

Speaking of the game, Jiang Rongfa said excitedly: "Although we encountered many problems during the development process, we solved them in the end. This is all thanks to Mr. Lu's foresight."

When Lu Yiming told Jiang Rongfa that he wanted to develop a new game, Jiang Rongfa was a little dissatisfied. "Legend of Hot Blood" is now so popular, he thinks that by focusing on operating "Legend of Hot Blood" well, the company can make a lot of money.

There is no need to launch a new game now.

However, when Lu Yiming came up with a game plan and announced that he would invest 300 million in research and development funds, Jiang Rongfa was shocked.

Spending 300 million to develop a new game, and it is a Chinese-style Xianxia game, and it also uses the most advanced 3D virtual engine technology. This is really bold.

In other words, the game team has now signed a confidentiality agreement, and the outside world has no idea about this matter. Otherwise, if it is revealed, the circle will not immediately explode?

In 2003, the Xia Dynasty spent more than 300 million to make games. No one without a serious mental illness could do such a thing.

But as a game creator, Jiang Rong found that he was extremely happy now. He had never fought such a rich battle.
