Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading

Chapter 20 The Surge in the Studio

Haicheng University Town, Chunyang Road, fighting Internet cafes.

This Internet cafe has two floors. There are more than 60 computers on the first floor, which are open to the public.

There are more than 50 computers on the second floor, but they are not open to the public, and they are dedicated to game studios.

Zhanzhan Internet Cafe was established in the first few years of online games, and the Internet access fee was relatively high. The Internet cafe owner Li Hai and the second shareholder Li Yang made a lot of money in the early years and bought this building.

In recent years, more and more investors have entered the Internet cafe industry.

Not to mention other places, just their university town, a university adjacent to their Internet cafe, there are no less than ten Internet cafes outside the campus, the competition is fierce, the Internet access fee is falling, and the profit is getting lower and lower.

In addition, the proportion of students buying computers is getting higher and higher. If it is not for the lively atmosphere, they seldom go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet.

Earn some cash!

Brothers Li Hai and Li Yang often complained.

Therefore, Zhanzhan Internet Cafe was transformed two years ago.

Dozens of computers on the second floor of the Internet cafe serve as game studios.

The first floor is still open to the public as usual, maintaining the guaranteed bottom line revenue of Internet cafes.

If the game studio on the second floor is not doing well, you can also switch back to the Internet cafe.

In 2008, there were two main ways for game studios to make money. One was power leveling, which was to help players upgrade and charge fees. Like Z way, the upgrade depends on spawning monsters, and there are many phenomena of hanging up and spawning monsters.

The other is to open more game accounts and hang up to play game coins, become a farmer, and sell the game coins to players to earn RMB.

Those who are knowledgeable, go to foreign servers to earn money from foreigners, and M yuan is more cost-effective.

Currently, they are operating two games, one is the very popular Z Road game, and the other is Fantasy Westward Journey.

There are two Internet cafes like theirs that have transformed from traditional Internet cafes to studios in the local area. There are hundreds of cities and thousands of counties across the country. One can imagine how many game studios there are.

Of course, not every city or county will have a game studio, but conservatively, there will still be hundreds of studios.

Li Hai and Li Yang have been paying attention to new online games. Diablo 3 is a game promoted by Blizzard, the world's top game company, this year. They have studied the game information in depth, and planned to enter Diablo 3 from the beginning of the game.

However, the progress is not very good.

Diablo 3's gold withdrawal rate is too low, barely enough to repair equipment, and the money flows back into the game platform. If you go to farm elite monsters, you will die easily. If you die twice, you have to repair the equipment once, which is not worthwhile.

Some time ago, the price of gold coins was relatively high, especially some time ago, a few pieces of gold could not be produced.

So far, they haven't found a suitable method to make money, so they just bought three game accounts to try out and explore the way, and didn't invest a lot of money.

"Boss, look at this post, Ma Dan, it turns out that this is how you earn thousands of dollars a day!" Li Yang was browsing the game forum, "This thing is easy to understand, but people who don't know it just don't know it."

Li Hai came closer to read the post, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasantly surprised he became, but after the surprise, he became more disturbed.

The map and method of swiping gold have just been exposed. If they found out, of course they have to keep a low profile and make a fortune. How could it be exposed.

"Whether the method of posting is feasible or not, let's try it first, so don't be fooled." Li Hai calmed down and went to the account to test it himself.

Half an hour later, Li Hai and Li Yang tested it according to the posting method, and it was indeed possible to earn gold, with extremely high efficiency.

According to the post, if you buy equipment that increases the drop rate of money, the efficiency will be faster. After calculation, if you can hang up for 24 hours, you can earn six to seven thousand gold coins for one account a day.

The two checked the current price of gold coins. It was 1 gold and 50 cents. The studio was still listing for sale, and the number of sales orders had already reached thousands. This was just one of the accounts. There were three or four such listing accounts.

They have been jealous of this mysterious studio from the very beginning, but they have never been able to find a way to make money.

Looking at the price of gold-making equipment in the game auction house, it is not cheap. If you increase the drop rate of money by 30%, you will sell it for 350 yuan. The higher the drop rate, the more expensive the price.

"Boss, do you want to do it? One account will cost three to four thousand yuan a day. If we have dozens or even hundreds of game accounts." Li Yang was so excited that he felt that there were red bills in front of him.

"Second brother, can you calm down? Our hang-up software hasn't come out yet, so we can only do it manually, and we have to spend money to buy equipment. What's more, one person can only use one account, and two people take turns to use it desperately. It’s pretty good to be able to spend four to five thousand gold coins.”

"The labor cost is low, we can recruit students immediately, fifty yuan a day, and there are many people to do it. The initial investment is a bit big, but in just two days, we can earn equipment money, and there will be profits in the future."

Li Hai was excited by what the second child said, if he was one day later, he would lose one day of money. After thinking about it for a while, he felt confused and confused. He was also attracted by the astonishing profit margin and couldn't calm down.

With a slap on the thigh, I immediately decided:

"Okay, it can be done, but you have to act immediately. If you are late for an hour, you will save thousands of yuan. First, you will buy the qualified game account according to the queue to upgrade, recruit people, and take out 25 computers to enter Diablo 3. First, the project personnel from the Z way Draw two people, and the rest will remain the same, and we can't devote ourselves to it until we make money."

"In addition, you use the previous game account to buy game coins and purchase gold-making equipment."

Li Hai is depressed, this game can't be played more than one machine, at most one machine can be played twice, otherwise there is no need to spend money to buy some gold-making equipment.

But there is also the problem of running multiple games on one machine. Upgrading the game account takes time, takes up the computer and memory, and increases the workload of management. It is indeed not as convenient and quick as buying gold equipment.

A set of equipment that increases the drop rate of money by 300% is equivalent to opening 3 more game accounts that do not increase the drop rate of money. Just three game accounts will cost more than 1,000 yuan.

Spending an extra thousand or hundreds of dollars will save a lot of trouble. Compared with the speed of making money, it is nothing at all. Time is money!

Don't think too much, let's start!

Three or four thousand yuan for a set of equipment?

Throw money!

I can get back my money in a few days, I'm afraid of a woolen yarn.

——

After a soft article about Diablo 3's gold brush was released, it was heated up by the navy.

Sure enough, not long after, the studio that has been following the game forum discovered this rare opportunity to make a fortune and purchased a large amount of equipment.

Time is ticking!

For this Diablo 3 game, the general studio will prepare dozens of computers for gold, and it is normal to have dozens of game accounts, or even hundreds of game accounts. Yes, these studios want to create hundreds or thousands of game accounts.

Dozens of game accounts also require hundreds of gold brushing equipment.

And there are so many game studios across the country, among them, the studios that are already optimistic about this game and are planning to spend money to settle in,

Or a studio that has already entered Diablo 3, just found a way to make money, and is planning to increase investment.

But they never imagined that there was such a big pit waiting for them to jump in.

After jumping in, I was still ecstatic, but when I found out that the gold coins were depreciating rapidly, it was too late to withdraw, and I was in a dilemma.
