The Era of Hard Work

People who come here today, not to mention the delicacies of mountains and seas, but they are not much different. Of course, the braised chicken is not a delicacy, but it also has some characteristics, especially the ones provided on the second floor. cooked.

While eating, Lu Dong asked Song Na to greet him, and went down for a walk, because before the opening, he had done a lot of publicity in other restaurants of Lu's Catering, as well as around the university town, and organized some activities, specially inviting Liu Yiwei to come over After the ribbon cutting, the people on the first floor of the store were basically full, and small casserole pots were served one by one, and the smell of chicken wafted around.

There are employees at the door of the store asking customers for feedback, and those who are willing to say a few words after eating, and there are small gifts.

The managers of the ten stores are all experienced employees drawn from other stores of Lu's Catering.

Lu Dong asked Gao Ming a few words, went out to take a breath, and found that Wang Dong came down from the second floor, obviously looking for him.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter?" Lu Dong asked while standing in the shade of a tree.

Wang Dong scratched his cheek with his missing right index finger, and said, "It's nothing important, I just want to talk to you about the Jiucun company."

The last time Lu's Catering invested in Jiucun and got 10% of the shares in Jiucun. Wang Dong, as a person who understands online games, assisted in the negotiation in the past and also invested in Jiucun. He said to Lu Dong: "Nine Village The game represented by the village, called "Miracle", has been tested publicly."

Lv Dong has been busy with Sanlian recently, only heard Xu Man mention it, but didn't ask in detail: "How is this game? Compared with "Legend"?"

"The public beta is currently underway, and it is estimated that the fee will start next month." Wang Dong lit a cigarette: "As far as the public beta is concerned, it is not as popular as Shanda's "Legend."

He thought for a while, and then said: "I asked someone to make statistics in all Internet cafes. Since the public beta of "Miracle" started, the most played game in Internet cafes is "Legend", followed by "Miracle."

Lu Dong nodded: "This game from Jiucun seems to be quite popular."

Wang Dong said: "It depends on the fee. If the fee can retain players, it will be considered a success. However, there are few games on the market now, and there are not many options. I also contacted Jiucun and got it. "Miracle" in Taidong point card agent."

Lu Dong asked curiously: "The point card agency makes a lot of money, right?"

Although Lu's Catering rarely asks questions, 8 o'clock Online is a joint-stock company. Wang Dong generally said: "I negotiated with Shanda, and just after the New Year, I opened four groups in the Taidong District. The server is quite popular, after the Chinese New Year, Lin Lin finally figured out that there is a few million profits in ordering cards, and the top Internet cafes themselves earn money."

Lu Dong encouraged: "Get a few more agencies if you have the opportunity."

"I am discussing with Shanda and Jiucun. "Legend" will open the Taidong District 2, and "Miracle" will open the Taidong District as soon as possible." Wang Dong came into contact with the world of online games and gradually had some ideas. : "Our Taidong Province has a large population, one of the best in the country, and the economic conditions are generally good. These are the foundations that are conducive to the development of online games."

He talked endlessly: "When the May Day holiday is over, I plan to go to Shanghai again. The possibility of reaching a cooperation is very high. The four sets of servers in the Taidong region of "Legend" are set up at 8 o'clock online. Daily maintenance done online at eight o'clock."

Lu Dong was not surprised, he had heard Wang Dong say this before. In order to reduce operating costs in the early stage, Shanda cooperated with many large Internet cafes and directly set up some partitioned servers at the agents.

This is also affected by the current network hardware conditions. The overall bandwidth is here. In addition, the structure of Southern Telecom and Northern Netcom is already clear, and the restrictions on the server are still relatively large.

For example, players in the Taidong region mainly focus on Taidong and surrounding provinces. The service bureau is set up in Quannan, which is much more convenient.

Wang Dong's words continued: "I will strive to let the servers of "Legend" Taidong District 2 and "Miracle" Taidong District be set up on our 8 o'clock online, relying on these two online game companies, 8 o'clock You can accumulate some experience in online game operation and server maintenance online, and you can learn a lot..."

Lu Dong understood what Wang Dong meant: "Do you want to be a game agent?"

"I have such an idea." Wang Dong snuffed out the cigarette, threw it into a trash bin not far away, and said, "I used to build a billiard room and game hall, just thinking about monopolizing the market in the county. Later, I met you, and we The two joined forces to open an Internet cafe, thinking that with a market as big as a university town, with more than 100,000 to 200,000 students, and an even larger number of young office workers and migrant workers, occupying this market will be enough for a lifetime."

Most people only see the area in front of them, but Wang Dong actually sees farther than many people: "Lv Dong, seeing your company develop and become the leader of catering in our province, I feel that a lifetime Are they all hanging out in Internet cafes in the university town?"

He touched the broken index finger of his right hand with his left hand: "Last year, I first cooperated with Shanda. Then, you asked me to help you talk about Nine Villages investment. I also invested in Nine Villages and saw a bigger world of online entertainment. , there is a lot to do in online games!"

Lu Dong understands that people's thoughts are not static, they all change with the environment and personal experiences. At first, Wang Dong may just want to be the owner of a game room in the county town, but as his career grows bigger, his ideas will inevitably increase.

Wang Dong looked at Lu Dong, and said, "I just thought that I can represent an online game after the eight o'clock online."

Lu Dong nodded slightly: "You have to pay attention to cultivating the relevant teams from now on. This industry doesn't seem to have much competition now. The success of "Legend" depends on it. It won't be long before many companies may flock to it."

"The initial investment in this industry is quite high." Wang Dong said: "You will have to support it a lot then."

Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "If you like any games, remember to tell me."

In the past two years, besides "Legend" and "Miracle", are there any famous online games?

What I remember most is "World of Warcraft" a few years later.

Some impressions are still clear.

"Orcs will never be slaves, unless they have food and shelter."

"Azu, times have changed, there are a hundred Jackie Chans outside!"

Thinking about it, besides "World of Warcraft", Lu Dong couldn't think of other games for a while.

It took a while before I had some related memories.

It seems that Zhuzi's "Journey" was at the same time as World of Warcraft. I remember seeing people playing it in Internet cafes. It was a real krypton gold game.

There are melatonin advertisements bombarding everywhere on the TV. I wonder if Zhuzi has transformed into the game industry?

By the way, which company developed "Zhengtu"? Could it be that Zhuzi's own company made it?

Lu Dong said a few words to Wang Dong, his knowledge of "Zhengtu" was limited, and it was hard to mention the name of the game, so he could only briefly talk about it and let him inquire about it in the game circle.

Go back to the store and go up to the second floor to continue eating.

After dinner, people like Wang Dong said goodbye and left. Wei Yong, Mu Kun, Wang Gang and Ding Qing simply followed Lu Dong and Song Na to Lu Dong's office to drink tea and chat.

Passing by the Sanlian Real Estate Building during the period, Wei Yong glanced at the people who were busy moving, and asked Lu Dong, "When will you move here?"

Lu Dong took a look at the large characters of "Sanlian Real Estate" that had been demolished, and said, "It hasn't been fully negotiated yet, so hold your breath."

Mu Kun then said: "Zhang Tao is a man of determination. When he gambled heavily on real estate, he put all his chips on the table and didn't even leave a way out. Now that the bet fails, he immediately abandons his boss and protects his pawns, and first protects the interests of the Zhang family. "

Wei Yong answered, "It's the Sanlian that's finished, not the Zhang family. Their Zhang family is still the most rich man in Quannan."

Wang Gang urged: "Don't talk about this, let's go to Lu Dong to discuss things."

When he came to Lu Dong's office, Xue Tian asked someone to make tea and bring it over. Song Na gave orders, closed the office door, and poured the tea himself.

Wei Yong was the oldest among these people, and said: "Lu Dong, when we came here today, we discussed something. The land in Taifeng Garden will soon be transferred from Sanlian to Dongwang and Weiqiao. Here, you know more about this land than we do, there is nothing to say about the location, location and supporting facilities, we plan to invest in a real estate company together to develop this land."

He looked at Lu Dong: "How about it, are you interested in investing?"

Lu Dong asked: "Are you planning to develop it yourself? The new company doesn't even have qualifications."

Wei Yong said with a smile: "It is enough to buy a qualified company. There are real estate companies that go bankrupt every day. It is not difficult to buy qualified ones."

Lu Dong thought for a while: "I don't know much about this area, and I haven't had a deep understanding of it, but real estate development requires someone who knows how to operate it."

Wang Gang answered with an embarrassed smile: "I'm engaged in this business. I used to work in Vanke for a while. Later, my family insisted on pulling me back to take over, so I came back from the south."

Mu Kun said: "I plan to buy a share. I have communicated with Wang Gang. This guy has real talents, and we can recruit professional talents."

Wei Yong said again: "Try it on the land of Taifeng Garden first. It's okay. In the early stage, we will focus on the surrounding areas of Quannan Heping City. Not to mention that there will be no disadvantages. At least no one will casually trouble us."

Lu Dong nodded: "At least there is a fairly level playing field."

"Okay! Count it as a share of Lu's Catering." After a little consideration, he gave a definite reply: "Let's say it first, I am only responsible for investing and getting dividends, and I don't care about anything else. If I manage it, it will add chaos."

This kind of investment is completely separated from the company's main business. With the current strength and operating income of Lu's Catering, even if the project fails, it will not have much impact on the company's existing business.

The main business will definitely be catering for a certain period of time, so the scale of investment must be controlled.

This group of people finalized the cooperation intention, such as investment ratio and investment method, and handed it over to the people below to discuss.

The new company is independent from the companies owned by Dongwang and Weiqiao. The investment is mainly from Weiqiao and Dongwang, each accounting for 30% of the shares. Of the remaining 40%, Lu's Catering and Mu Kun each account for 20%.

At the end, Lu Dong said: "In a few days, I will have a gathering about the Tibetan mastiff. Please come and join us if you have time."
