Chapter 6 Thinking for the long term
Games are an indispensable part of the Internet, especially online games, which have emerged in China since 2000 and have become more popular since then.
The most popular online game now should be "Stone Age". However, starting from the end of this year, Chen Tianqiao created the peak of an online game in China in a short time with a third-rate Korean online game. In just a few years, he became the richest man in China.
Speaking of the online game "Legend", which made him earn billions of dollars, should start testing before going online now?
Li Mu was also a legendary fan back then. Not long after the start of college, he started to come into contact with "Legend" under the introduction of his classmates. He was fascinated by this game. After going to college, his studies were not tense. He often played with his roommates. He played a warrior account until he graduated from college in 2005. Later, because plug-ins were too rampant, many old friends who played "Legend" gave up, and Li Mu stopped playing it.
Now that I think about it, the game like "Legend" that is full of loopholes, using its current abilities to find bugs to make money, stuff, and even write plug-ins, are all things that cannot be simpler, and this thing has a lot of profit margins.
However, at this moment, "Legend" should not be online. If you remember correctly, it was launched in September. After two months of free period, "Legend" really started charging, which probably started from November to December this year.
Li Mu carefully recalled that the real popularity of "Legend" actually has to wait for the end of this year. Moreover, the first plug-in for "Legend" seems to have only appeared in November this year.
The so-called first plug-in in my impression actually has only one function without wax. To put it bluntly, it is to automatically open the field of vision. Players do not need to buy candles anymore. However, even if it is just such a weak function, its popularity rate in a short period of time has almost reached more than 90%. This shows that legendary players’ demand for plug-in is extremely powerful!
However, if you want to make money from "Legend", you have to wait patiently for a few more months, but the current popular "Stone Age" is an opportunity for Li Mu.
Like "Legend" and "Miracle MU", "Stone Age" is also a game with extremely widespread plug-in. Li Mu saw a news story that a plug-in studio called "Abe Plug-in" created an industrial chain worth tens of millions in one or two years by operating plug-in in "Stone Age".
No matter how powerful the people of "Abe plug-in" are, they are just contemporary programmers. If you have the vision of future generations and the skills of future generations, as long as you find the needs of gamers, then making money will definitely be a matter of minutes.
After Chen Wan mentioned this, Li Mu instantly came up with a way to make quick money, which is to make plug-ins.
Moreover, the feasibility of this method is very high. It was because of excitement that he subconsciously held Chen Wan's hand.
At this time, Chen Wan was held by Li Mu like this, and she felt a little panicked. Although she was three years older than Li Mu, when it comes to experience contact with the opposite sex, Chen Wan was almost zero. She had a few girlfriends like Li Mu, and at least she could not compare with an old man who had killed several times.
But Li Mu sincerely thanked Chen Wan for her reminder. The word "game" was like a wake-up call, and suddenly woke herself up.
I have been an Internet person for more than ten years and have always believed in one concept: there are only two things that can stimulate male netizens to consume most virtually. One is color and the other is games. This is an eternal truth! It is completely different from Taobao's e-commerce that exchanges money for goods.
Making plug-ins is definitely a way to make money quickly!
Seeing that Li Mu used such clumsy methods to take advantage of other girls, Li couldn't help but cough twice, and he felt that his face was dull. His son's methods were still much more tender!
Li Mu then withdrew his hand. In order to hide his embarrassment, he was typing on the keyboard and said, "There are many things that computers can do besides surfing the Internet and playing games."
Chen Wan nodded: "Computers can do a lot of things, but we only learned simple computer use. If you are interested in computers, you can apply for related majors in college."
"Yes." Li Mu responded absent-mindedly, and he had already begun to think about the game and plug-in market in front of him.
"Stone Age" has been in operation for half a year, and commercial plug-ins have appeared. However, Li Mu is confident that with his own strength, it is not without a chance to make some money on "Stone Age".
First use the Stone Age to accumulate some capital for yourself. In this way, by the end of September, you can develop a legendary commercial plug-in as soon as possible. Before the commercialization of the super online game "Legend", you will seize the initiative. This is a good opportunity to make a lot of money this year.
With a direction in her heart, Li Mu became much more relaxed. He chatted with Chen Wan for a long time and touched on her situation indirectly.
Chen Wan is a junior majoring in journalism at Fudan University in Shanghai. She went to senior high school at the beginning of school. She was doing business in Haizhou and was born in only daughter.
As for whether she is single, Li Mu only took a sentence to draw it out: "Sister Wan is so beautiful, she must be the beauty of Fudan University. Her boyfriend must be at the school grass level, right?"
"I'm not a school beauty, nor do I have a boyfriend."
Li Mu blinked and smiled, with a bit of slander in his expression. Chen Wan realized that he was messing with his own words and inquiring about his relationship. She exclaimed in her heart, this kid is simply too thief.
Li Mu's thoughts were rolling. No wonder Chen Wan would become the host of the provincial TV station in the future. She turned out to be a journalism major.
As for her family situation, although she did not say it in detail, she estimated that the scale of her family's business was quite large. By 2015, when his father was sentenced for illegal fundraising, the amount involved had reached billions of yuan.
Now Li Mu only has ten dollars in his pocket and does not have the real strength to change Chen Wan's life trajectory, but he still has a long enough time to make a long-term plan.
After dinner, Chen Wan insisted on taking a taxi to take Li Mu's family of three home, but Li Mu refused.
He didn't want to bother Chen Wan anymore, so he used the excuse of being too crowded for four people to stop a car and said that he would let Chen Wan get in first.
Chen Wan had no choice but to leave before leaving, and said that she would go to Li Mu's home to have time to play with him in the future, so Li Mu gave it to him. In fact, he had already planned to ask Chen Wan for a phone number when he left, and he could not disconnect from her.
After Li Mu finished speaking of his landline, he was about to have Chen Wan's number when he saw Chen Wan take out a small notepad, pull out a mini ballpoint pen from the middle, and write a string of numbers for Li Mu on paper.
"This is my sister's mobile phone number. I'll call me if I'm fine. I've been in Haizhou recently."
"Okay." Li Mu took the call and carefully put it in his pocket.
After Chen Wan left, Li's father stopped another car.
On the way home, my mother and Li Mu sat in the back row. She held Li Mu's hand and said with lingering fear: "When my mother received the call today, she was almost scared to have a heart attack. Fortunately, you are fine..."
"Yes." Li's father sat in the passenger seat and said with his head turned: "This time is a blessing in disgrace. You must be careful when going out in the future."
