Chapter 75: Find something to do
"Our products are doing really well! and I'm already thinking about how to make a profit, it's only a matter of time!"
Because of his weak heart, Mike Wang's voice unconsciously increased.
The $3,000 invested by Zhang Xiaokai, plus the more than $3,000 that Mike Wang saved by himself, has spent most of the money, but his income is only more than $10.
He wrote his PayPal collection account in the game, thinking that someone could consciously send money, and from the actual situation, the players were obviously not kind enough.
He could endure $3,000 in waste, but he was reluctant to lose another $10,000.
There are still more than 8 million US dollars in the trust account, and this money has recently increased with the appreciation of the stock, quickly exceeding 10 million US dollars, and it cannot be moved for the time being, and it will not be able to take out part of it until adulthood and hand it over to the trust company to manage on its behalf.
There is no doubt about the speed of making money at Cleveland Ranch, and the account was handed over to Daddy Zhang to take care of, and Zhang Xiaokai was also unable to move.
The funds that can be used at your disposal are actually only more than 50,000 US dollars, and the last time I invested in Mike Wang, plus the daily expenses since I entered the school, I have spent some of them.
On the way to send him over, Dad made it clear that Zhang Xiaokai didn't need to pay for the places where he needed to spend money on study, and the more than 50,000 US dollars was the total cost of living expenses during college.
After all, I never fought my own Lao Tzu.
At the beginning, Zhang's father asked him to take out the scholarship and keep it on his behalf, but Zhang Xiaokai did not agree.
Now I don't give living expenses, but it's actually about the same, which is equivalent to giving Zhang Xiaokai the living expenses once, and I don't know if it's a loss.
"Your credibility is already ruined with me, and I said I would only invest $3,000 when I invested in you...... Unless you come up with a more specific business plan, I won't invest in you even if I go bankrupt, you have to tell me how to make a profit, what to expect, etc., like between the businessmen. ”
I felt that I should be tougher, so my tone was tougher, and after I finished speaking, I felt that it might be hurtful, and added: "You have a dream you want to achieve, this is good, yes, but that's your dream, I just want to keep my own money." Of course, it's good to be able to make back the money I invested before, but if not, forget it, there will always be risks in investing. ”
Thinking that he had made the truth clear, Michael Wang did not feel humiliated at all, and his mind was relatively large.
His eyes were shining, and he nodded decisively and said: "Understood, isn't it just a profit expectation, I'll write it to you when I get home, time waits for no one, I found that there is a guy who has recently promoted a game similar to ours, called "Minecraft". ”
"Plagiarized your product?"
"Hah! No, in fact, I know the founder, I have communicated with him for a long time, and the game "My Racing" was inspired by him, and we often communicate with each other during the development process, which is very interesting, but unfortunately I have never seen it. ”
Zhang Xiaokai has always felt that Mike Wang is unreliable, the main reason is probably that other businessmen are either very calm, or very professional, if you meet a person like Zuckerberg at the beginning, with a great product to him for investment, maybe he will discuss with his father to try it.
However, the picture quality of the game "My Racing Car" is too rough, which affects the game experience, and he is not optimistic......
Mike Wang trotted away, saying that he was going back to write out the plan and show it to Zhang Xiaokai.
Zhang Xiaokai, who was still distressed by the 3,000 US dollars and was ready to find a reason to refuse to invest when the time came, shook his head and got busy with his own business first.
There are more courses at Harvard University than Zhang Xiaokai imagined, and each teacher assigns some homework, which adds up to a lot of homework.
Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about tuition and living expenses, some students had to insist on working to earn a living after class, and that day was miserable.
Compared with some students who really love literature, Zhang Xiaokai is quite distracted by learning, because the more he learns, the less he feels that that knowledge is useful to him.
I don't want to write a famous book that will be passed down through the ages, and I don't expect to find a job in a publishing house.
The original intention of choosing the Department of Literature was just to let the ideas in his mind be seen by more people like the authors on the other side of the Pacific, rather than containing too many connotations, so that readers could understand life from their works.
After all, I haven't even figured it out yet, how can I tell others so many big reasons.
Professors can analyze a lot of truths from a certain passage of literary giants, but Zhang Xiaokai often thinks that maybe when they first wrote it, those authors just wanted to be more interesting, rather than really criticizing and satirizing anything.
What can you do if you don't study, in the end, you still finish your homework on time, enter the class on time to read, find a reason to call your father, let him pay for a desktop computer with better performance, and occasionally take time to stay in the dormitory and play games with Xiao Gejun, and the fun of reading Huaxia online novels has not been lost.
has a good relationship with his classmates, who would deliberately target him at such a young age.
I casually mentioned that I was still writing other works, but today "Professor Dumbledore" heard the news out of nowhere, and called Zhang Xiaokai to send it to him.
After sending out two unfinished documents with little confidence, I was struggling to think that I had sent too much, and the remaining one should be kept, in case I would let them write novels as homework later.
likes Marvel movies, but Zhang Xiaokai is not a film and television fan.
likes to follow his classmates to parties to make it hot, but no classmates dare to persuade him to drink.
He also likes to listen to gossip about men and women, but no one pursues him, and there is no goal to start.
The adult world is not as interesting as Zhang Xiaokai imagined, and there are some interesting things he can't do, just messing around like this, and there are not many big things to talk about.
It wasn't until the first day of October, after chasing the entire "Friends" and all ten seasons, that he thought that he couldn't continue like this, and he had to find something he was really interested in doing.
Without waiting for Mike Wang to come to the door, Zhang Xiaokai found the other party first that evening, and showed him the URL of a novel website, and asked Mike Wang if he could make one according to that process.
With a look of excitement to frustration, Mike Wong told, "Of course you can do it if you want to, but I won't do it unless you keep investing in my game." Do you know how sad I am, I made a report for more than two hours, and even showed you market research, and only replied that I had spent my pocket money?"
This thing is really not kind enough, Zhang Xiaokai smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "Forget about investment, but you help me get this kind of website, and help with later maintenance, I can give you a salary, just ask if you want to do it, don't want me to find other computer science students to help......"
