Chapter Seventeen

Two hundred thousand downloads...

Sun Peng swallowed weakly and looked at the time. It was only 3:00 p.m., and it only took fifteen hours to get 200,000 downloads...

His legs were a little weak. The highest number of online in the Stone Age is only about 200,000. All registered users are estimated to be in the order of one million. In less than a week, this plug-in will probably be fully popularized...

After all, Abei plug-in is a paid plug-in, covering more than half of the players is a fool, but it is possible to have a coverage rate of 100% for free and easy-to-use things!

Seeing that everyone was very depressed, a young technician comforted him: "They will charge sooner or later, and the number of paid users will definitely drop sharply..."

Sun Peng glanced at him and said, "So what if the sharp drop in paid users? As long as he priced no more than 15 yuan, he can steal all our users!"

"Then let's cut the price! Ten yuan!"

The person who spoke was the head of Abe's team, Jabe, known as Abe.

"What if the other party also lowers the price?" Sun Peng said coldly: "When you used free plug-ins to face us, didn't you consider these?"

Jabe was speechless.

Yes, the other party is free as soon as it comes up, and is he still afraid of playing price wars with you? What a joke!

At the same time, the second floor of the big spider web cafe in Haizhou City.

Zhao Kang was as if he had been taken away from his soul. He sat in front of the computer and murmured to Li Mu: "If this plug-in charges, how many people would pay for it?"

"I'm afraid there will be only tens of thousands of people who have to die." Li Mu analyzed the current situation in the Stone Age. Tens of thousands of people across the country spent money to buy plug-ins, which should be a relatively reliable number.

"My God." Zhao Kang was completely stunned: "If there were 30,000 people, it would be 500,000 per month! This..."

Li Mu looked calm: "Don't calculate this account, it's not like this."

As he said that, Li Mu roughly explained the situation he needed to face in sales. Monthly sales rose little by little from scratch, and it could not be consumed tens of thousands of copies per month overnight. In addition, there were various channel costs and distribution profits at all levels, and if he sold 300,000 or 500,000 a month, he would be very optimistic that he could recover more than 100,000.

"Even if it is 100,000, it's amazing!" Zhao Kang was dizzy: "My parents are less than 20,000 yuan a year, and they will earn six or seven years if they have been in the plug-in business for more than ten or twenty years, they will not be a billionaire."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "If this business cannot last long, it will last for two or three years at most."

"Why?" Zhao Kang was a little confused.

"Have you been to the disco?"

Zhao Kang nodded: "I have been there a few times, it's quite exciting."

"Have you heard of those pills that shake your head?"

Zhao Kang also nodded repeatedly: "I have heard of it."

Li Mu smiled and said, "The game company is equivalent to a disco. He invests in venues, equipment, and labor, not only to make money from tickets, but also the sales of goods such as wine, fruit plates, etc. are also a big deal. They make this money, right?"

"That's right."

Li Mu continued: "What is a shaking pill? It is a poison product. It can make the guests in the discotheque play more exciting. So our plug-in is like this shaking pill that is sold in the discotheque, which makes people in the discotheque play more fun. But this is harmful and not good for the discotheque itself, because he can't get the money for selling pills. Moreover, not all customers will take shaking pills. Once someone around him takes it, it is too exciting, which will inevitably affect those customers who don't take pills. In the long run, customers who don't take pills will not want to come here to play, and the business of the discotheque will plummet. Do you think they will let you go?"

"Fuck." Zhao Kang reacted to this twists and exclaimed immediately: "It's all OK if we don't kill us!"

"Yes." Li Mu smiled and said, "So, plug-in is equivalent to a shaking pill. The business cannot be done for a long time. If you rely on a discotheque for a long time, the discotheque itself will find a way to stop our pills from entering, and at the same time, it will also find a way to attack us. At that time, you can only change to a discotheque and then work for a while."

Li Mu continued to popularize the science: "It's just that the current law has loopholes and has not been under control yet. However, in time, what the plug-in will face will be the attacks of the government and game operators. Maybe they will be sentenced and convicted, so this thing is suitable for taking advantage of the situation, but it is not suitable for long-term use."

Zhao Kang really understood now and nodded repeatedly: "What are you going to do?"

Li Mu said: "You can't do it for a long time, but you can do it for two years. However, "Stone Age" has no future. The best way for the Stone Overlord to deal with it is to find someone to take over, and we will get the money and wait until we can do other games in September."

...

After Sun Peng calmed down at this moment, he thought about his current situation carefully and was indeed ready to contact the developer of the Stone Overlord first and ask him what he wanted. If he could cooperate, it would be the best. If the other party rushed into this field with a killing mentality, he would be powerless to turn things around.

So, Sun Peng used his QQ to add the contact information left by Li Mu on the Stone Overlord.

The speaker message icon also popped up in the lower right corner of Li Mu's computer.

Li Mu hurriedly opened it with the shortcut key, took a look, and then snapped his fingers: "Here you come!"

The person who requested to add a friend was a man named Dapengniao. The verification message read: "The person in charge of Abe's plug-in."

Li Mu was waiting for him, and even the online name of his vest was all for him.

"Don't die."

"Whose online name can be called "Don't Endless? It's so fucking..." Sun Peng cursed in front of the computer. These four words made him feel an extraordinary sense of oppression. Is the other party's name called this online name meant that he wanted to fight in the field of plug-in?

"It seems that it's not a fuel-efficient lamp!" Several programmers surrounded by them sighed.

As he was talking, Sun Peng received the feedback message.

"Refused to add you as a friend until you die."

Zhao Kang asked in surprise: "Aren't he the one we are waiting for? Why did you reject him when he came to the door?"

Li Mu smiled, with a bit of cunning on his face: "It's only been everywhere. It's not been twenty-four hours since I went online. If I add him as a friend now and talk to him about packing and selling it, it would be too disgusting, right?"

Zhao Kang opened his eyes wide: "What do you mean, how many days will you continue to hang him?"

"That's right." Li Mu nodded and smiled: "Anyway, the trial version of the Stone Overlord has a 15-day trial period, and it's still early. Let Abei's people suffer. The more they suffer, the more good they will be for us."

"Do whatever you say." Zhao Kang was no longer just admiring Li Mu, so he made up his mind to obey him.

Now, it is six o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Mu said to Zhao Kang: "Let's go home too. There is nothing important to do in the next few days. Just take the time to continue publicity."

"What should I do with the computer?" Zhao Kang asked: "Do we have to continue to pack these two machines?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Li Mu lamented. It's really inconvenient to do anything these days. Real mobile hard drives have not appeared, USB drives have not appeared, floppy disk storage is extremely low, Internet cafe computers do not have floppy drives, and even optical drives are not standard for each machine. They often only have one or two optical drives to install the system for the machine.

There is no mobile hard drive, and ordinary computer hard drives do not have power and circuit solutions. They cannot be used for mobile storage. There is a burner, but the price is definitely not cheap. I can’t buy a burner for less than 6MB of software and a bunch of source code, right? It’s such a big deal!

Li Mu decided to find another way. If he couldn't do it, he asked his family to borrow some money and packed these two computers for a long time.

When he walked to the counter downstairs, Li Mu thought to Erbin and said, "Brother Erbin, is it time for me to take care of three days? How long has it been today? Calculate the money."

Erbin waved his hand: "Go back to your home, anyway, business is not full every day."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Brother Erbin is just good." As he said, Li Mu said, "Then, I will make another day tomorrow, and I will come to you tomorrow."

"Sure, then let's calculate it from the time you come tomorrow. I won't let you go to your private room tonight, don't worry."

Li Mu nodded. It seemed that he had to find a way to solve the data storage problem tomorrow, otherwise it would be too wasteful and unsafe to always store things on the computer.

Suddenly thinking about Abei's plug-in, Li Mu asked Erbin: "By the way, Erbin, do you also sell plug-in here?"

"Yes." Erbin said: "Abe plug-in, I picked it up from the provincial capital agent."

"Provincial capital agent?" Li Mu frowned: "It's so troublesome, layer by layer."

"Who knows?" Erbin smiled and said, "Anyway, people from the provincial capital are responsible for traveling to the Internet cafes in each city below. I also came to talk about this."

As he said that, Erbin curled his lips and said, "But this Abei plug-in seems to be about to collapse. A stone overlord came out last night and was killed directly."

Li Mu asked with a smile: "Then you have lost it, right?"

"It doesn't matter." Erbin smiled and said, "It's less than a hundred copies sold in a month, it's a drizzle."

Li Mu lay on the counter and hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "By the way, Brother Erbin, do you have a burner here?"

"I don't have that thing. It's more than a thousand yuan. I don't have a bird to buy it. Why, do you need it?"

"Yes." Li Mu nodded: "I want to carve something."

"I'll borrow one for you tomorrow." Erbin said very readily: "I've seen that in my support company. They have an HP one."

Li Mu's eyes lit up and knew that those who opened Internet cafes in this era were actually not proficient in software and hardware. Every city had so-called support companies. In fact, they were small companies that specifically provided installation, software, maintenance and other services for Internet cafes. Burners should be very necessary for them.

"Then I'll ask you Brother Erbin."
