Rebirth 1999: Opening up the era of black technology

In early August, autumn begins in Jiangcheng.

But the weather is still very hot.

Especially at night when there is no wind, the whole city is like a big sweltering steamer.

Everyone was eating skewers on the roadside, their short sleeves already soaked with sweat.

But Sun Dong felt very cold, as if someone had poured cold water on his head.

Your plan to make a fortune is just gone!?

Before you prepare to run, you are told that you are not eligible to participate...

This feeling is so damn good...

Sun Dong finally couldn't help it anymore and said: "Chen Xiao, I just don't understand. This is obviously a good thing to make money, especially now that most of the plug-ins in Internet cafes have been blocked, only Shuiyue is left.

Legend can be used, it is almost a monopoly business, why did you sell it!"

"No matter how much money you make from selling it, it can't compare to your own lasting income!"

Why is Chen Xiao selling?

There are two reasons.

The first is that he knows that the legendary 600,000 people online at the same time is actually a limit value.

In the life cycle of the official server Legend, 600,000 is almost the peak value.

In a year or two, various legendary private servers will appear on the Internet. Although they are illegal, they are banned repeatedly.

Private servers are more harmful to the game than plug-ins. Under the impact of private servers and various 3D games, The Last Legend ended miserably and closed down.

Assuming that 600,000 people are online at the same time, the number of active players of Legend should be around 1.5 million at most.

If one in five people uses cheats, that’s 300,000 people.

One-third of them use the Shuiyue Legend plug-in, which is 100,000 people.

Another third of them paid, which is less than 30,000 people.

For every 4,500 minutes of recharging among these 30,000 people, Chen Xiao’s profit is around 150,000.

In fact, at this time, the number of people using the Shuiyue Legend plug-in is basically the limit.

It is not a big problem to make one or two million through cheats, but with the increase in the types of cheats on the market and the increase in Shengda's crackdown, it is difficult to make more money!

Through calculations, Chen Xiao had calculated the potential of the Shuiyue Legend plug-in, but Sun Dong could not calculate this at all.

Second, legal and moral risks.

Shengda has seen the dangers of cheats and is looking for ways to combat them.

Upgrading the game and patching it, prohibiting the operation of plug-ins, is only the first step for Shengda.

The next step is to urge relevant departments to establish laws and regulations and improve relevant mechanisms, leaving little gray space for plug-ins.

Although the battle between online games and cheats will never end and will not stop for decades, from a legal and moral perspective, as long as the country establishes relevant systems, cheats should not exist. At that time, it will be illegal to make money through cheats.

Business.

This is a breaking point, and there is no telling which day it will explode and deal a fatal blow to a healthy company.

Although Shengda is not the Nanshan Pizza Hut of a few decades later, he is now also a major taxpayer in the Shanghai stock market and has a high say.

Relevant departments will definitely pay attention to Shengda's demands and will improve relevant laws and regulations in about a year or even half a year.

Chen Xiao has a technological system and there are many opportunities to make money in the future. He does not need to take this risk for the remaining one million yuan.

Just give it up when it's good, that's the right thing to do.

The Shuiyue Legend plug-in was sold to an old rival, the development and management team of Peerless Legend, for 500,000.

The development team of Peerless Legend is also very strong. During this period, it has indeed made a lot of money relying on the Peerless Legend plug-in.

After Peerless Legend was banned, everyone was very panicked.

People who are used to making quick money will never be able to make slow and steady money with peace of mind.

The peerless legend sold by Chen Xiao has been upgraded again.

As long as the source code is not leaked and plug-in operators constantly have to change plug-in names, server addresses and download addresses, Shengda should have nothing to do with Legend of Water Moon in the past year.

With this kind of technical support, Legend of Water Moon is only worth 500,000.

Legend of Water Moon has already earned Chen Xiao more than 100,000 yuan (all used to purchase servers and other equipment), and now it has been sold for another 500,000 yuan. This is the same as Legend of Water Moon that originally earned more than 1 million (if a professional team runs the plug-in, the profit

The upper limit may be around two million) There is a difference in the profit upper limit, but it is acceptable.

Of course, Chen Xiao couldn't tell Sun Dong everything.

Chen Xiao said to Sun Dong: "The main way we make money is to promote the Internet cafe management system, because when the companies that make legendary plug-ins react and upgrade the plug-ins with the legendary patch, the competition for plug-ins will be greater, and the competition will be even greater."

You can’t make much money.”

"Brother Dao, you have worked hard during this period. You and Mr. Feng have negotiated the business of the Internet cafe management system. I will reward you with 5,000 yuan separately."

Sun Dong quickly said: "I...I didn't mean that!"

Chen Xiao filled a glass of wine for Sun Dong and said: "Brother Dao, we have known each other for so long, don't we still understand each other? You keep the 5,000 yuan. The Internet cafe management system can not achieve what it is today without your efforts."

"Drink, drink!" The worries calmed down and the atmosphere became warmer.

In the following days, Chen Xiao completely erased the connection between the 11181 website and Shuiyue Legend.

After the Legend of Water Moon was upgraded, the transfer account name at the recharge entrance was also the Yangcheng team, not Chen Xiao himself.

In the bank book, there is half a million yuan of funds lying quietly.

In this day and age, this amount of money is absolutely huge.

Five hundred thousand can buy a villa or three or four apartments in Jiangcheng, it can buy a luxury car, and it can even be used as starting capital for some businesses.

Chen Xiao plans to use the money to buy a house first.

The living environment in the family area of ​​Jiangcheng Machinery Factory is really bad. My parents have worked hard all their lives and deserve a better place to live.

In addition, according to Jiangcheng City's development plan, Jiangcheng Machinery Factory should be demolished next year.

If I were to buy a house at that time, it would indeed be a rush.

But plans are plans. Chen Xiao still has to find time to carefully explore where to buy a house and how big to buy it.

In 2000, there were very few commercial communities in Jiangcheng.

Chen Xiao left this matter to Deng Chao. Deng Chao's father was the contractor and he should be familiar with the information.

August 20th.

Zhou Linghua drove to pick up Chen Xiao. The MP3 decoder chip equipment from Yangcheng arrived and asked Chen Xiao to come over and guide the production.

Until the moment Zhou Linghua got the equipment, the equipment manufacturer that produced the MP3 decoder chip had not yet realized what it was producing.

In fact, this situation is common in Xia Kingdom.

Everyone just produces according to the drawings, and few people think about what they are doing.

Companies that have a little bit of brains and are willing to think more will take off in the future.

"Honest people" will be lost in the sea of ​​history.

Chen Xiao was very busy. He stayed at Linghua Equipment Factory for three full days, guiding technicians step by step to use the purchased and improved equipment to produce MP3 prototypes.

The MP3 player designed by Chen Xiao uses less materials and is lightweight because of the very smart (advanced) circuit design of the motherboard.

The plug-in is similar to the shape of a small card and is very thin and light.

Three days later, the country's first domestically produced MP3 player, produced under Chen Xiao's guidance, rolled off the production line of Linghua Equipment Factory.
