Before Li Mu became the overlord of stone tools, he already had a perfect business operation plan.

In view of the fact that "Stone Age" is not long in the hot period, by the end of the year, the national online game market will have to make way for the super beast "Legend" in the online game industry, so Li Mu knows in his heart that the stone tool overlord has not much profit margin for himself.

There is no online payment channel, he can only sell offline, and he also needs to build a sales network from scratch, I don't know how long it will take to reach the scale of selling 20,000 or 30,000 copies a month, so from now to the end of the year, the revenue that the stone tool overlord can generate in his own hands is estimated to have peaked at one million.

One million is indeed a lot, but the entire Abbe plug-in has been done for so long, and the value of the industrial chain is only at the level of 10 million.

Production and development, testing and maintenance, channel distribution, terminal sales, every link has to make money, not to mention that Li Mu has no ability to establish a channel network that sells tens of thousands of copies a month, even if there is a ready-made network in front of him, the benefits are evenly shared, and it is great to sell three or four hundred thousand a month, and it is great that he can get two or three percent.

The means of payment in this era are very single, and online payment has not really started, and Mr. Ma in Hangzhou has not even engaged in Taobao, let alone Alipay, so the payment bottleneck in the current Internet era is very large, and even online games such as Stone Age and Bloody Legend have to rely on countless Internet cafes across the country for offline distribution, and there is no way to achieve online transactions.

At present, the vast majority of plug-ins are sold in the form of monthly subscriptions, and the sales of terminals in Internet cafes, plug-in dealers will develop Internet café cooperation throughout the country, like the Internet café after the sale of electronic point cards, for their own sales of plug-in monthly passwords, and in another year and a half, many plug-in monthly passwords, can be bought directly in Internet cafes.

But for Li Mu now, he only has himself and Zhao Kang, as well as three or four hundred yuan of funds, how can he spread out a network that sells tens of thousands of copies a month? It's just a fool's dream.

So Li Mu had a plan, and he prepared two sets of plans for himself.

What the two schemes have in common is that after the development of the Stone Overlord is completed, he will open a 15-day free trial period, which is why he asked Zhao Kang to familiarize himself with various online promotions.

Although the current online payment has not yet opened, but the speed of online communication is extremely fast, their own stone tool overlord, the actual use of the effect, is the current Abbe plug-in and other stone plug-ins doubled, not only the function and speed of the powerful, but also the user experience level considerations, comprehensive use effect, will be far beyond the same type of products.

In this way, it can produce a word-of-mouth effect in a short period of time, free and easy to use, and there is no reason to be rejected by users.

Li Mu's method is very detrimental, as soon as he came up, he had the idea of completely impacting the market first, and directly cut off the income of Abbe's plug-in or other plug-in development teams, just like when 360 antivirus was free and praised countless antivirus software companies.

Once a plug-in like Abbey, which already has a business model, is devastated, they will not sit still, and there are only two choices left in front of them: immediately develop a plug-in that is more powerful than the Stone Overlord, or find the maker of the Stone Overlord to cooperate.

The possibility of the former is zero, and Li Mu's programming level is not at all comparable to these plug-in developers, and they can only do the latter.

This is also the first of Li Mu's two sets of plans: sit back and wait for other plug-in studios to contact.

Considering that Abbe's plug-in will be named by national media such as People's Daily Online in the future, it seems that it has also been beaten as a bird, so Li Mu has also thought of a solution, if Abbe wants to cooperate with himself, then there is only one way to buy out, and he will directly package and sell this program at a fixed price, and they will sell it directly on their existing channels, and they will never cooperate with the people of Abbe plug-in.

If the first package is not successful, then only the second plan is left, and it is sold by itself.

It will be much more difficult to sell by yourself, Li Mu and Zhao Kang may not be able to sell much even if they break their legs this summer, but it is better than nothing, the brothers work hard, it is not a problem to earn tens of thousands of yuan in a summer vacation, if you can discover some local agents among players and users, then the speed of progress may be faster.

However, Li Mu does not prefer the second plan, the effect is too slow, he needs fast money, and after the launch of "Legend" in the future, it is suitable to use the second plan to put a long line to catch big fish.

Everything, it depends on how much impact the Stone Tool Overlord can bring to the commercial plug-in of the Stone Age after it is launched!

……

On the night of July 11th, Li Mu finally completed the development of the Stone Tool Overlord on the second floor of the Great Spider.

The free trial version of Stone Overlord V1.0 is officially launched on several game BBS.

Zhao Kang's efforts in the past few days have immediately paid off, because he had asked for free stone tool plug-ins in the BBS and chat rooms of the major Stone Age under the instruction of Li Mu before, so he has a certain "mass base." ”

For example, a post on a stoneware forum that has been topped hundreds of floors is published by Zhao Kang, with the online name "Standing Pig", and the content is very simple: "High school students have no money to buy a plug-in, so kneel down and beg your seniors to introduce a free stoneware plug-in!"

Zhao Kang was reluctant to add the word kneeling and begging at first, feeling that he was falling, Li Mu glanced at him, obviously he didn't have Internet thinking, and when you took a screenshot of an action movie to find the old driver to lead the way in the future, I don't know how bad it will be, in the online virtual community, what do you care about face so much?

Zhao Kang had no choice but to send it according to Li Mu's request.

Unexpectedly, the word kneeling and begging has indeed attracted the attention of many people, and netizens in this year are also very enthusiastic, and many people replied, saying that the free plug-in does not even have one-tenth of the function of the paid plug-in, and if you only use the free plug-in, it is almost impossible to move an inch in the Stone Age.

Some people also advised Zhao Kang to stop playing, and studying hard is the most important thing.

In short, the reply is all positive energy.

Two days later, on this night, "Standing Pig" posted another post: "Seniors, I finally found a free stone plug-in, the function is to kill all similar plug-ins, I am here to share with you!"

This year,BBS already has the function of uploading attachments,The volume of the plug-in developed by Li Mu is only 5.6MB,It's just that most of the BBS limit the size of attachments,Only 1MB can be uploaded at a time,No way,Li Mu can only use compression software to compress the plug-in into six compressed packages,And then let Zhao Kang upload it together。

It's not enough to have accessories, Li Mu also made a lot of screenshots, including the plug-in interface, functional options, and the actual use effect in the game.

Even with a fixed template, this kind of purely manual posting took an entire night.

Zhao Kang kept posting on various BBS, and Li Mu kept refreshing these posts.

In these years, there are many netizens and little content, and any hao123 can have millions of daily users, which is enough to see how scarce the current Internet content is, so now any BBS has a large number of user precipitation.

At 1 a.m. on July 12, an hour before the first post was published, the number of downloads reached 638 and the number of comments reached 56, most of which were expressions of curiosity.

Li Mu knows that a good product needs time for users to experience it continuously.

So Li Mu didn't pay attention to these posts anymore.

After Zhao Kang posted enough posts, he entered the game to promote, first shouting that he had found a free plug-in, and then telling the players about the forum and letting players try it.

Subsequently, Zhao Kang used the registered vest account to reply to himself, using all the words of praise, praising the power of this free trial plug-in, which has never been seen before.

Zhao Kang was alone and did the work of a water army and childcare.

Li Mu knows that the next thing to wait for is the formation of the word-of-mouth effect, one to ten, ten to hundred, in today's Internet world, pure and enthusiastic netizens will definitely become the "tap water" of the stone tool overlord, that is, the spontaneous water army.
