Chapter Eighty-Three: Acting League of Legends
Zhou Mingjie skipped class with Li Yu in the second class and went to his Tianming Internet café to have a look.
The location of Tianming Internet café is very good, at a crossroads, opposite the largest supermarket in the county, and then there are several hotels and restaurants around, and there is a high-end community behind it, and it is very close to the second middle school and several primary schools.
The Internet café has four floors, one to three floors, where there are hundreds of computers with relatively good current configurations, and the fourth floor is a dormitory for staff and a warehouse.
Li Yu couldn't help but smack his lips, it's really good to have a rich father, like Zhou Mingjie and Jiang Qing, who had their own Internet cafes and bars in their teens, which is difficult for many people to achieve in their lifetime.
Zhou Mingjie led Li Yu into the Internet café, and the two female network managers at the bar saw Zhou Mingjie and immediately greeted with a smile: "Brother Ming." ”
Zhou Mingjie didn't have any boss at all, and nodded with a smile to say hello: "Sister Chen, Sister Li." Then he led Li Yu upstairs.
Although today is Tuesday, many of the regular customers are going to school or work, but there are also dozens of people surfing the Internet, which shows that business is very good.
Then Li Yu doesn't have any thoughts of buying it, Zhou Mingjie This is an iron-clad money-making business, and it won't be authentic if he comes over and mixes it.
Zhou Mingjie could see Li Yu's thoughts, and put his arm around Li Yu's shoulder: "Didn't you join forces with Jiang Qing to share a dog farm? ”
Li Yu smiled: "That dog farm doesn't make much money in the first place, you should know better than me, that's Jiang Qing's father playing with it, you are different, every day to make money, whether it is to sell to me, or let me buy shares, I am too cheap." ”
Zhou Mingjie smiled, and he admired Li Yu's strength to tell the truth to his friends.
Zhou Mingjie handed Li Yu a cigarette: "My dad opened this Internet café, it was given to me to play, I used to run out to surf the Internet all day long, my dad felt that those small Internet cafes were not safe, and the environment was poor, so he opened this Tianming Internet café for me, don't look at me like this, I am not showing off my wealth, and besides, I have my own money, maybe not as much as you." ”
Zhou Mingjie lit a cigarette for the two of them and continued: "My dad thinks that computer games and Internet cafes are played by children and immature talents, and they can't make a lot of money, I don't think so." ”
Li Yu showed an appreciative look, in fact, most of these rich second generations are very capable and discerning, for example, in the previous life, China's most famous rich second generation invested 600 million in the e-sports and live broadcast industry, and finally earned 3 billion, of course, there are many people who think that they can make money by giving themselves 600 million, but Li Yu feels that even if ordinary people give him 1 billion, he will not earn 2 billion.
Zhou Mingjie took a deep breath: "Many people always think that when computers are as popular as mobile phones in the future, Internet cafes will be eliminated, I don't think so, do you see those who open mobile phone stores have been eliminated? They just started selling old-fashioned mobile phones, repairing old-fashioned mobile phones, slowly transforming to sell smart phones, repairing smart phones, and earning more profits than before, because people still don't know much about smart phones, I think, Internet cafes, computer games are the same." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Mingjie looked at Li Yu meaningfully: "For example, you are different, I won't ask how much money you make from the game, anyway, there must be a lot." ”
Li Yu nodded with a smile and motioned for Zhou Mingjie to continue.
"Let's talk about the Internet café first, even if every household has a computer in the future, those who like to play games will still go to the Internet café to play games, why? Hehe, this has something to do with you, you said that men have wives at home, why do they still cheat, split their legs, raise mistresses, and go to prostitution? Because it's interesting, there's an atmosphere, it's cooler than at home, damn, don't beat me, I'm not teasing you, I'm praising you for your ability, I'm sarcastic about my dad. ”
Zhou Mingjie rubbed his shoulder, which was a little painful by Li Yu, and Li Yu flicked the cigarette ash: "After all, don't take me with you." ”
"Okay, okay, you look at the tapes and CDs of the eighties and nineties, aren't they all slowly disappearing, because they can't keep up with the pace of the times, just like the former dance halls, which have become the current KTV, or entertainment clubs, as long as our Internet café has been following the times, I don't think it will be eliminated, and I think it will be very profitable. ”
"Let's talk about online games, before we talk about games, let's talk about football, hundreds of years ago it was called Keju, I'm right, Li Dashen, at that time, did people think that they could make a lot of money by playing a Keju? No. ”
"Haven't you watched "Water Margin", people not only make money but also become officials. ”
Zhou Mingjie snorted angrily: "Gao Yu's bastard doesn't count, don't interrupt, listen to me, and now, how much do those world-class stars play a game? hundreds of thousands!" And it's dollars, even if you don't mention those big stars, just our-like national team, everyone's income is not low, I think, people at that time watched Keju, just like people watch online games now, maybe online games will develop into an Olympic event in the future, don't you see that there are games in the dungeon, international competitions in China, Japan and South Korea, the champion also has hundreds of thousands of bonuses, but I think the dungeon game has little chance of going to the Olympics, but it doesn't mean that other games can't. ”
Li Yu lit another cigarette and found that he had really underestimated Zhou Mingjie before, and this guy's eyes were too vicious.
"I think the Internet will be the most profitable industry in the future!" Zhou Mingjie said firmly.
Li Yu nodded.
"But my dad doesn't think so, and I don't have much money to distribute by myself now, plus I don't know how to make so much money from the game, and you're different, you know, I think the Internet café is just a token of love between the two of us, you take me to make money in the network, you make a method, I contribute money and people. ”
Li Yu flicked the cigarette ash at Zhou Mingjie: "Don't use words indiscriminately, it's not appropriate to use love tokens here." ”
"Oh, now let's get down to business, it's rare for me to be so serious, and you should be serious. ”
Li Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll think about it first." ”
In fact, Li Yu had a particularly big idea before, that is, to act as an agent for Riot's "League of Legends" in the mainland, but after checking it on the Internet, I found that I was several steps late, and in 08 Riot raised 8 million US dollars from Tencent, and Tencent also obtained the agency of League of Legends in the mainland, and now it has begun internal testing in the mainland, and it will be launched in 11 years.
Li Yu thought about it, in fact, even if he can act as an agent for "League of Legends", he can't push this game to the height of his previous life, which is different from Mengling.com and Bilibili, because Mengling.com, Bilibili's potential basic users are only some users of station a, and they can start from scratch, and "League of Legends" is different, Tencent already has a large number of potential users, and has a lot of promotion platforms and methods, QQ alone is already how many people, as long as people use QQ, people who play Tencent games, you will see " League of Legends", and Li Yu, he currently only has Mengling.com and Bilibili, and there are only two or three hundred thousand users per day, and they are not fixed.
However, Li Yu didn't feel any regrets, and what he was thinking about was not how much money he made with this game, but how to use this game to achieve glory and gain a sense of affirmation for those who have played the game for more than ten years.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yu spoke: "If the e-sports club is interested, in two or three years, you need to invest at least 30 million shares." ”
