Chapter 45: The Long Road to Legendary Upgrades
Entering November, Lin Feng's income in October was also remitted through the Chu City Branch.
The net profit of Chufeng online city is 300,000 yuan, and the flower tea processing factory has gradually opened the national market on the Dingdang network, bringing Lin Feng more than 250,000 yuan of pure profit; the barbecue restaurant has brought Lin Feng more than 20,000 yuan; the fast food restaurant has more than 50 branches across the country, bringing Lin Feng a turnover commission of more than 300,000 yuan, and the Dingdang network is temporarily in a state of loss, and there is no income.
After the final statistics, in October, Lin Feng paid a total surplus of 750,000 yuan after paying various expenses, leaving 250,000 yuan for the Chu City branch as working capital, and the rest was remitted to the headquarters. Although the 500,000 yuan does not have much effect on the headquarters, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and it can somewhat fill the gap in funds.
500,000 yuan was unimaginable for Lin Feng before, but now Lin Feng deeply understands that in Shanghai, don't say that you have a lot of money.
At the same time, Lin Feng instructed Su Xiaomei and others to continue to expand the branches of fast food restaurants through online conferences, and due to the certain preferential tax treatment given by the state before, the 50 franchise stores in the early stage made quite a lot of profits in October, which also gave Lin Feng the confidence to increase prices.
For the next batch of 100 franchise stores, Lin Feng has formulated the rules of 50,000 yuan for prefecture-level cities and 100,000 yuan for provincial capitals and municipalities directly under the central government, but the monthly commission fee of 3% remains unchanged, which is also for the long-term and stable development of fast food restaurants. If the commission fee is too high, these franchise stores will not make a profit, forcing them to try their best to save costs, which will mess up the brand that has been built up with great difficulty.
After careful screening by Su Xiaomei and others, the 100 new merchants brought Lin Feng a franchise fee of 6 million yuan, which was a great supplement to the drying up account of Lin Feng's Shanghai headquarters.
At this time, Lin Feng's company account still has 13 million, and the 6 million franchise fee of the fast food restaurant can be remitted in the middle of the month. However, the "Legend" server has begun to be fully loaded with the increasing number of registered members, and the entire "Legend" server will be overloaded every time it reaches 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. The server that could have taken on 50,000 people was packed with 80,000 people during peak hours, so it's no wonder that the server is not stuck.
Many players went to kill monsters to upgrade during this time, but they hung up because of the server card, and they spoke on the official forum to ask for compensation. Although these comments have been drowned out by the huge number of players about how to upgrade the game and how to kill monsters, increasing the number of servers is the primary issue at present.
Lin Feng did not hesitate to invest almost all of the remaining money in increasing the server, but was stopped by Wu Zhaopu. The reason is simple, the company does not have a car now.
"Mr. Lin, although the company is now developing, it must be equipped with a car, and it is a good car. Wu Zhaopu's words did not get everyone's approval, and they all looked at Wu Zhaopu in surprise. After all, the company's economy is not optimistic now, and although the prospects of "Legend" are good, it should be able to save a little bit now before it is charged.
Wu Zhaopu was not surprised by everyone's surprised eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Mr. Lin, in Shanghai, this diversified international metropolis, the car represents a person's identity and status, and also symbolizes your economic strength. And in this extremely xenophobic metropolis, a luxury car is more acceptable to our company. ”
Wu Zhaopu's words caused everyone to think deeply.
Lin Feng deeply sympathized with Wu Zhaopu's words, and that xenophobia exists everywhere in China, but Shanghai is particularly serious. However, in Shanghai, where the economy is developing day by day, money worship is prevalent, and a high-end car is indeed more likely to make you respected.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, if you want to buy at least Mercedes-Benz and BMW, don't buy Japanese cars, otherwise you will really be laughed at. Wu Zhaopu's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Lin Feng's eyebrows move, he knew that Lin Feng had agreed in his heart, and said with a smile.
Wu Zhaopu's words caused everyone to be daxiao for a while.
At that moment, Lin Feng bought 3 cars in one go. A Mercedes-Benz S600 as his own car, an Audi A6 as the car of the company's top management, and a Jinbei van, which is specially allocated to the security department. A total of 3 million was spent on various expenses before and after the three cars, and looking at the remaining 10 million in the account, Lin Feng left 1 million as working capital, and handed over the rest to Cui Ming to add the server.
With the addition of servers, Legend has been able to run the game smoothly for 100,000 people online at the same time, and at this time, Legend has increased from the original 2 servers in 1 region to 16 servers in 2 regions, but each server is still full. By the end of November, 24 servers in 3 districts had been opened, but the flow of people was still outbreaking, with the highest number of online users reaching 110,000 and online GM reaching 50 people, basically satisfying a server with GM online 24 hours a day.
However, like all online games, the rapidly popular "Legend" this month also has a lot of plug-ins, such as copying equipment, copying money, brushing experience, etc., but under Lin Feng's ruthless policy, coupled with the original jishu team, it was ruthlessly blocked within 24 hours of the plug-in. Any account that uses a plug-in will be permanently suspended, and a server-wide announcement will be made, and the banned player account will be posted on the official website.
Although this move was protested by some players who did not actively use plug-ins, with the support of many players who enthusiastically liked "Legend", Lin Feng's tough ban on plug-ins policy was successfully implemented.
And Lin Feng's ban on cheats is not only those plug-ins that destroy the balance of the game, but also the cheats such as blood display, automatic running, and candle-free, Lin Feng is still ruthless. This kind of auxiliary plug-in does not seem to destroy the balance of the game, but it indirectly creates a situation where the Taoist priest is invincible after having a "dog" in the later stage of "Legend", otherwise there is no automatic running and showing blood, and it is impossible for the Taoist priest to play a team of people with a "dog".
December 1st is the day when Lin Fengding's "Legend" is officially charged. Although it is too early in the eyes of many senior executives in the company to start charging for only one month of public beta, Lin Feng knows the charm of "Legend", and has an original team in charge, which can solve any system bugs that arise, and it is not too early to launch a charging system in a month.
In view of the fees, Linfeng adopts a combination of physical and virtual cards (sold by Linfeng Jingdong.com). Launched a variety of card types of 5 yuan for 30 hours, 10 yuan for 60 hours, 15 yuan for 90 hours, and 30 yuan for 180 hours. This price is one-third more expensive than the "Legend" before his death, but Lin Feng appropriately lowered the upgrade experience that "Legend" hated (ensuring that the mage will not go offline for 24 hours, and can be upgraded to level 40 in a month), and temporarily capped it at level 50. After more than half of the players reach level 50, Lin Feng will open level 60, and this is all from the experience of "Warcraft Shijie".
When half of the players reach level 60, Lin Feng will open level 70, then level 80, level 90, and keep opening, adding new magic and equipment every 10 levels, so that players can continue to level up for upgrades and new equipment.
Lin Feng felt that his idea was very evil, but he liked it very much. It's just that Chinese players have started a continuous upgrade road for "Legend" in the future.
