Chapter 0036 - Trial Operation Status of the Studio
Zhou Peng invited everyone to drink, and then Yang Shijun drank too much, wow wow vomited, and then saw that everyone was almost drunk, Zhou Peng ended the wine game with everyone.
When I returned to the dormitory, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and I drank wine, and I saw Zhou Peng go to bed and sleep, and then everyone went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhou Peng downloaded the small program on the floppy disk to Li Keqing's computer, and at the same time taught Liu Duoyu and Yang Shijun the operation method, so that they could learn it, and prepare to go to the Internet café in the evening to do a big job.
Then he talked to Zhang Kexing and Cai Xinghua again, and asked them to go to a game server designated by Zhou Peng to practice their numbers.
As for himself, he took Li Keqing, took his rental agreement, and went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register the company.
After arriving at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Zhou Peng and Li Keqing knew that there were quite a lot of things needed to register a company, and they didn't have enough things, so Zhou Peng asked Li Keqing to be responsible for running the company, and he found Fang Gang again, called Zhang Ming and Zhang Kexing, and went to the science and technology market on Qilu University Road, and got back four computers that day, one for 3,500 yuan, and cost Zhou Peng 14,000 yuan.
According to this price standard, the next step is to build a studio with 100 computers, and the investment in equipment alone should be enough for 370,000 yuan.
Fang Gang is very familiar with computers, and Zhou Peng feels that this person will have to get into his own company next.
The four computers were brought back, which made Zhang Kexing, Cai Xinghua, Zhang Ming, Ji Wei and Shen Long happy.
Zhou Peng gave them an account with 80 free points that he applied for, and then another person rushed two 150-point cards. In this way, a total of 10 point cards were rushed, and it cost Zhou Peng 150 yuan.
These five people really love the game!
Zhou Peng set a task for five people, that is, to upgrade quickly.
Although Zhang Ming and the five of them have been playing for a few months, they are definitely not as good as Zhou Peng in terms of how to upgrade, upgrade strategies, etc.
Zhou Peng played big talk for many years in his previous life, and he played to a very high level, but now Zhang Ming and them have never played a high-level account at all, as for how to upgrade after the level is high, they don't understand.
Since the release of the first expansion pack of Journey to the West 2 on November 15, 2002, the huge benefits brought by synthetic gems have attracted a large number of players.
In April 2003, the number of simultaneous online users of Westward Journey 2 exceeded 200,000.
The most important thing is that among the 200,000, there are all real players, and there are no studio players who have opened multiple game accounts.
When games first emerged, few people realized that they could make money from games, and the game studio industry was widely known for its huge profits since the emergence of World of Warcraft.
Zhou Peng had heard others say many times in his previous life that a medium-sized Warcraft studio could earn tens of millions of dollars a year.
In the face of 200,000 real players, what others see is the people who are full of maps, but what Zhou Peng sees is the money that is full of maps.
Zhou Peng arranged for Zhang Ming and them to apply for five different roles, and then instructed them to upgrade five strategies, according to Zhou Peng's strategy, level 0 to level 50, the upgrade method is to get double experience to practice the area to fight monsters, level 50 to level 70 is to get double experience to catch ghosts, level 70 to level 90 is to do the Heavenly Court task, level 90 to level 102 to do the ghost king task.
At this time, there are not as many tasks as the later big words, and the upgrade is also more difficult, generally on the first day, the sixteen hours of double experience are used up, and there is no pressure to upgrade to level 61.
And from the beginning of level 61, running 60 rings is also very profitable for the new area.
If you run 5 60 rings in an hour, you can earn about 700,000 yuan, and the 150-point card in the new area will only sell at the price of 500,000 yuan at the beginning, and then it will stabilize at 1 million after a few days.
That is to say, if you enter the new area, five people will form a team on the first day, and then spend 16 hours to upgrade to level 61 to start producing, and you can produce about 20 yuan of Dahua coins in about 1 hour.
And even in the old area, the price of a 150-point card was around 2 million in 2003.
150 points is equivalent to 15 yuan, and when converted, 100,000 big words is equivalent to 7 cents and 5 cents.
Then run 60 rings and produce 700,000 yuan in an hour, which is equivalent to an income of 5 yuan, 2 cents and 5 cents.
As for the expenditure, it is 4 cents an hour and the wages of the next worker.
In the next step, Zhou Peng plans to recruit college students with a salary of 600 yuan per month, come to his company, work according to the standard workload of eight hours a day, and give four days of paid vacation a month.
In this case, the wage expenditure of a worker per hour is 2 yuan and 9 cents.
Then add the electricity, wear and tear fees, etc., and the cost of an hour is less than 1 cent.
The income is 5.25 yuan, and the expenditure is 3.4 yuan, so Zhou Peng's profit in an hour is 1.85 yuan.
This is just to say that you can only run 60 rings, and when your employees practice their game accounts to level 102 and can run 200 rings, the output of game currency in one hour will become 2.4 million, which is 18 yuan when converted into RMB, which is quite a profit.
Zhou Peng instructed Zhang Ming and they kept playing games, while Li Keqing set up a company for himself on the other side, and soon it was evening.
I chatted with Meng Chaoyuan on the phone for half an hour every night, and in the past two days, Zhou Peng has slowly begun to try to call Meng Chaoyuan's wife, and the other party has no objection.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Peng called Liu Duoyu and Yang Shijun and went straight to the Internet café.
When he arrived at the Starry Sky Internet Café, Zhou Peng saw that there were 60 empty computers in the Internet café, and it was about to be overnight, Zhou Peng didn't say a word, so he asked the network manager to open 60 computers, and then asked the network manager to help, downloaded his small program to the computer, and let the computer automatically start to apply for a game account for himself.
Zhou Peng calculated that this night, sixty computers, but he would have to apply for more than 190,000 game accounts for himself.
Zhou Peng is not afraid of more, because every time he applies for a game account, Zhou Peng knows that he has spent 5 yuan and 6 cents less.
Because I can't get my own studio computer for a while, so the work of applying for a game account can only be in the Internet café, and this night I invested 360 yuan and chartered 60 computers, in case which computer crashes and doesn't work, it's a pity, so Zhou Peng arranged for Yang Shijun and Liu Duoyu to take turns to sleep on duty, and he went back to the dormitory.
When he returned to the dormitory, Zhou Peng saw that Zhang Ming's enthusiasm for playing games was still surging, and Zhou Peng ignored them and went to sleep.
