Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 245 A moment to witness a miracle

Chen Zhi clenched his fists in anger and shouted in a deep voice, "You are raising a tiger to harm yourself! Sooner or later, you will be bitten back!"

Luo Shenyi smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, please stop worrying about things that may not happen. Regarding your letter allocating 70% of Legend's point card profits in Jingzhou City to you, our board of directors will never agree. Regarding your dispute with Momo Internet Cafe, you should try to find a business solution. We at Shengda really can't offer you much help."

Chen Zhi was furious, "Do you think our Tianqin Group needs this 70% share of the point card revenue? I'm helping you deal with potential rivals! You guys created this hidden danger! If our Tianqin Group hadn't trapped the Momo Group in Jingzhou City, their development speed would have far exceeded your imagination!"

"Mr. Chen, if you have nothing else to do, I'll be busy here first. Our game will officially start commercial operation at 2 pm. There are too many things to deal with in the card payment process. I'm really sorry. If you pass by Zhonghai City next time, I will treat you to tea." Luo Shenyi smiled politely and hung up the phone.

In fact, Shengda Group has always been watching the struggle in Jingzhou City.

Handong Province is not only a major gaming province, but also the province with the highest market share of Stone Age. In Handong Province, Stone Age's market share is as high as 80%, especially in coastal cities such as Yantai City, where the market share is as high as 85%. Even in Jingzhou City, Stone Age's market share has reached about 70%.

The battle between Tianqin Internet Cafe and Momo Internet Cafe unexpectedly caused the market share of Stone Age in Jingzhou City to plummet from 70% to 20%, which is something Shengda Group is very happy to see.

This was the main reason why they set up their first ground promotion stop in Handong Province.

If the Stone Age in Handong Province were to be transformed into the Legendary Age, the Stone Age would certainly be severely damaged.

As for how the Momo Legend will develop, Shengda Group doesn't care at all.

In their eyes, Momo Legend is the vicious dog they released. When this vicious dog has almost torn Handong Province apart, they will step in to deal with it.

Anyway, the authorization of Momo Legend is only for one year, and after one year, the market will still be theirs.

Most importantly, they saved a huge amount of advertising costs.

These days, the cost of field promotion is too high.

"Fuck it!" Chen Zhi threw his cell phone on the desk and pushed all the documents on the desk to the ground.

The only option now is to fight hard.

Chen Zhi took out his cell phone, made a call, and said, "Call all the business managers to my office for a meeting."

Soon, several business managers came to Chen Zhi's office one after another.

Chen Zhi asked, "How much equipment and gold coins have been recovered now?"

A business manager said, "The gold exchange rates in different regions are different now. After we cut the market price in half, we don't get much. As for equipment, we only take equipment with better attributes. However, there is a big problem now."

"What's the problem?" Chen Zhi asked.

The business manager said, "The equipment in Momo Legend is divided into light beam equipment, which comes in white, green, blue, purple, and gold. The light beam can be used to determine the quality of the equipment. However, the equipment in Shengda Legend is all white. Even experienced players can't tell how much the equipment is worth."

"In that case, we'll only accept gold coins! When players get equipment, let them exchange it for gold coins in the game, and then sell it to us! Shengda Legend will officially start charging at 2 pm. The point cards have been delivered, right?" Chen Zhi asked.

"They've delivered it." The business manager nodded and said with a smile, "Ten thousand of them have been delivered."

"Yeah." Chen Zhi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's sell the point cards at a 50% discount."

"Fifty percent off?" The business manager was surprised and said, "Doesn't that mean we're losing 20%?"

"Don't be fooled by the small amount of money in front of you," Chen Zhi said. "I'm determined to keep fighting Momo Legend. We have strong financial resources and the backing of the arcade, but they can't. Their current occupancy rate is only 60%, and they are all illegal internet cafes without operating licenses. They won't dare to fight us for too long." Chen Zhi sneered, "Hundreds of illegal internet cafes have been opened blatantly. Over time, even Chen Wenyu and Tian Yisheng combined won't be able to withstand the pressure. If something happens to these internet cafes during this period, it will be even more chaotic."

The business manager smiled and said, "How about we do something for their internet cafe?"

Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "This is not our home ground. Let's not make things complicated, or we might end up making things worse."

"Yes." The business manager quickly dismissed the idea.

"Cheng Yi, you must hurry up and get your business license. I heard that Zhao Wenxia plans to go to Yanjing to report you." At this time, Cheng Yi was also being bombarded with calls from Chen Wenyu.

Cheng Yi was listening to Chen Wenyu's mumbling while generating the Momo Legend card code.

After listening to Chen Wenyu's ramblings, Cheng Yi smiled and said, "President Chen, don't worry, the illegal internet cafe is only temporary, and we will be able to become a regular business soon."

"Don't try to fool me. I have a weak heart to begin with," Chen Wenyu continued to mutter. "Can you get this done in a month? You've opened too many internet cafes. If this gets reported to the higher-ups, Tian Yisheng and I will be held responsible. And then there's that bitch Zhao Wenxia. I can't persuade her anymore."

Cheng Yi said, "President Chen, I will definitely get the internet cafe operating license within a month."

Chen Wenyu said, "Okay, it'll take at most a month. Look at you, Tian Yisheng and I have given you the green light, and you still haven't applied for it. I really don't know what you are thinking. Next year's business license will probably cost at least 200,000 or 300,000 yuan."

"Two or three hundred thousand?" Cheng Yi smiled.

The cost next year will be 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, starting from 600,000 yuan, and there is no discount.

Cheng Yi has thought it through clearly now. If the National Information Industry Association has not made a decision on issuing chain Internet cafe licenses within a month, he plans to overturn the table and declare them free, and then donate all the Internet cafes to the Jingzhou Information Industry Association and convert them into electronic reading rooms for the people's livelihood.

As long as it is not profitable, it will naturally lose its commercial nature.

Without commercial nature, there is naturally no need to apply for an Internet cafe operating license.

This is just like the version number of online games. Before 2022, as long as your game does not have in-app purchase and recharge functions, you do not need to apply for a version number.

With the merchant points system, Momo Legend and the prop trading platform that will be launched soon, it doesn’t matter much whether Internet cafes charge fees or not.

Of course, this kind of table-turning behavior will also lead to exclusion and abuse from colleagues. Unless it is absolutely necessary, this killer move should not be used indiscriminately.

He just wants to set up Internet cafes all over the country, not to destroy all Internet cafes in the country.

"By the way, at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the External Relations Department Alliance of the Top 100 Universities yesterday, I saw you and Li Chengxuan talking and laughing. Are you very familiar with Li Chengxuan?" Chen Wenyu asked curiously.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "I guess we know each other."

"If you know Li Chengxuan, you'd better ask him to help warn Zhao Wenxia." Chen Wenyu said, "Zhao Wenxia's Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce has many companies that rely on the Handong Provincial Construction Group. Zhao Wenxia dare not disobey Li Chengxuan. As long as Zhao Wenxia doesn't cause trouble, Tian Yisheng and I can help you resist for a while longer."

"Chairman Chen, I'm very grateful for your kindness. I will call Director Li Chengxuan now." Cheng Yi thanked him sincerely.

"Why are you being so polite to me? Haha." Chen Wenyu was very happy to see that Cheng Yi was very grateful.

Cheng Yi hung up the phone and quickly called Li Chengxuan. Now Li Chengxuan has been deliberately trying to befriend him, not knowing whether it was because of the 40 million or for other reasons.

However, Cheng Yi naturally would not be polite to Li Chengxuan's initiative to show goodwill.

Li Chengxuan wasn't an official, so he wasn't bound by so many rules and regulations. His work style was straightforward. As soon as the call was connected, Li Chengxuan's laughter came from the other end: "Brother Cheng, are there any activities that require my participation?"

Cheng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "How can I have the energy to organize any activities? I have offended a big shot and she has been tormenting me so much."

"Oh?" Li Chengxuan heard that Cheng Yi wanted to ask him for help, and couldn't help but smile: "What important person? Tell me, maybe I know him."

"Her name is Zhao Wenxia, ​​and she's the president of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce." Cheng Yi sighed. "She has a good relationship with one of my business rivals. Not only did she use her connections to stop my advertising rights in the Jingzhou Daily, she also plans to report my business problems to Yanjing City."

"Zhao Wenxia?" Li Chengxuan laughed dumbly and said, "I don't think I'm some big shot. Don't worry about this matter. I'll take care of it for you, old brother."

"Brother Li, I'm really grateful for your kindness." Cheng Yi used his catchphrase.

"Wait for my news." Li Chengxuan said and hung up the phone.

Cheng Yi put the phone in his arms and continued to generate the card code.

Game point cards sound very profound, but to put it simply, they are just a very small program in the background of the game.

You just need to generate the card code, save it into the recharge script and load it, then you can use this card code to recharge on the recharge page of the login program.

The so-called point cards are made by extracting the card codes stored in the recharge scripts, and then painstakingly making them into point cards, which are then sold nationwide.

Momo Legend is a directly operated game, and there is no need to produce any point cards. All it needs to do is divide the card code into hundreds of parts and put one in each Internet cafe. When someone wants to recharge, the network administrator will collect the money and help the user recharge on the game login tool.

After Cheng Yi generated the card codes, he divided them into 246 parts and gave them to Zhang Lingyu for distribution.

At this time, Tianqin Internet Cafe and Momo Internet Cafe were both waiting for 2 pm to arrive.

13:57…

13:58…

13:59…

With the arrival of 14:00, Legend officially began its commercial operations.

At the same time, each account was prompted with 2 hours of remaining time.

"Network administrator, recharge the card!"

"Network administrator, give me a picture."

The same scene is playing out in Internet cafes in major cities across the country.

"If we can achieve a 30% retention rate, we will win!" At this time, in the headquarters of Shengda Group, Chen Tianqiao and a group of senior executives were excitedly watching the backend data.

They now have 430 million registered users, with over 15 online! As long as one-third of players choose to pay, they'll win the battle.

They have already taken over 5 cities in 16 provinces across the country, and sent point cards to each of these cities.

Today is the day to witness a miracle.

“It’s going up. It’s going up.”

At this time, someone looked at the background data and shouted: "It has quickly exceeded 10,000."

"Twenty thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

"fifty thousand!"

"One hundred thousand!"

The headquarters office of Shengda Group was in an uproar.

But one hundred thousand did not reach the upper limit.

In just less than two hours, the number of paying users reached 16!
16 is the upper limit of the number of their point cards, not the upper limit of paying users!

Although their current peak online number is 15, the highest number of online players does not represent the number of players!

The peak number of online players is only the highest value of players in a certain period of time. The actual number of players is far more than 15.

"We won the bet!" Chen Tianqiao didn't expect that Legend would have such a huge sales volume. After all, Legend is not a well-known game in South Korea. It has been launched for more than a year, and the maximum number of online users is less than 10,000. It is a niche game that cannot be more niche.

Chen Tianqiao was stunned for a long time before he excitedly shouted, "Hurry up, make the point cards! We have to rush out the second wave of point cards within seven days! Don't worry about the cost, just make them as fast as possible."

"Yes, I'll go and urge them now." Luo Shenyi was also very excited. For ordinary online games, as soon as the free public beta period ends, it would be good if the paid conversion rate can reach one-third of the peak online number of people.

But now? Their sales have surpassed their peak online user count!

"Notify the marketing team to throw money at this and promote it vigorously! Within six months, we must reach every corner of the country! No matter the cost!" Chen Tianqiao slammed the table and roared, "All the income from point cards must be invested in this!"

Although 16 point cards are only worth a few million, this has proved that Legend is viable in the country.

He's probably going to get rich!
One hundred million?

Two hundred million?
Or five hundred million?
Thinking of the possibility of earning 500 million yuan, Chen Tianqiao trembled with excitement. If he could really earn 500 million yuan, he could retire early and enjoy his retirement.

At this time, a big problem occurred at Tianqin Internet Cafe.

Just now, most of the game cards of various branches of Tianqin Internet Cafe were bought by a group of unknown people.

The biggest tragedy in the gaming industry is not that there are too many point cards to sell, but that they are sold out before they even start selling.

"What's wrong with you guys? You don't even have any game cards, and you're still dragging us here to play? I still have a lot of gold coins in my account that I haven't sold yet."

"I've been training all night long, and now you can't log in. You need an explanation, right?"

"Either sell us game cards or compensate us!" All branches of Tianqin Internet Cafe were surrounded by groups of angry players.
