Chapter Seventy-Seven: Real Estate Agents
"Even if I have nothing now, I know how to be rich, and you'll be a poor man in ten years!"
Lin Yan is reading a short story, the time has entered the two thousand and three years, and the infrastructure construction of the Internet has made great progress. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters - with increased internet speeds, bandwidth grants, and video sites and the like.
And the website that Lin Yan is browsing now is the streaming website of Chiba Games.
Although the picture is a bit mushy, it is already a great improvement.
Before the advent of search engines, websites on the Internet were islands that could not be contacted from each other.
Then before the advent of video sites, the Internet was a pool of stagnant water, and there was no vivid thing flowing.
The process of developing new things is also a process full of loopholes and imperfections. You must know that the emergence of video websites has made many video stores complain. Because, there will be people uploading the content of the videotape on the Internet. Due to the imperfection of relevant laws and regulations, this kind of sharing cannot be said to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. As a platform, the website only says that this qiē is the spontaneous behavior of users, and what users upload has nothing to do with them, what they do is very simple, that is, to provide a platform.
In fact, many things really can't be said to be right or wrong. It is not forbidden to do it. It's a peer-to-peer thing in various fields.
For example, if no one prohibits the addition of vague ingredients to the milk powder before there is a problem, then it is possible. And these behaviors that are not prohibited are often unspoken rules.
In fact, the rise of Internet video websites relies on these contents that are not authorized by genuine authors, because this can have a good drainage effect on the website.
For users, it's free and convenient. They don't even have to go out to rent tapes or discs, and of course they like it.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and even if it is temporarily free, it will not be free in the end.
But users don't care about that. They only care about the present, and as long as they have enough interests in front of them, they are content.
Chiba Games' video site is operated by Chiba Games itself in Japan. In other countries, Chiba Games is a means of venture capital and technical assistance, and some relatively small companies are found to invest and explore the way. There is a reason for this, because in those countries there is no prohibition by law, but a set of rules is not yet clear.
If you rush into it with all your might. Then it is likely that the video business will be messed up, and even other businesses will be hit very harshly.
You know, in an international world like the United States, there are many people who are looking for trouble with big companies with their eyes wide open. Lawyers' groups also rely on lawsuits to make money.
In fact, Chiba Games has done enough to be disciplined. However, they still rarely have fewer than a dozen lawsuits in the United States.
There will always be all kinds of people looking for trouble, even like those patent companies, just waiting to dig up patent traps. Wait for someone else to jump in and bite into a big piece of meat.
A communication company like Aili basically has eighty percent of its revenue. It's all from lawsuits.
And lawyers in the United States also prefer to make a lawsuit long. Because, the longer the time, the more money they can make.
Sometimes the competition between the lawyers of the two sides is not a mental struggle, but a physical struggle. Therefore. A team of hundreds of lawyers is relatively common.
And a lawsuit costs a million dollars, which is a small amount for Chiba games. Although Chiba Games has not fought hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuits now, they have still fought tens of millions of lawsuits.
There is a big reason why lawyers belong to an upper-class profession in the United States. It's because of their high income.
Although there are many people who hate lawyers, they have to find a lawyer. Although lawyers are generally equated with greed, because there are many lawyers who take half or even more than half of the compensation.
However, it is not enough not to hire a lawyer, because then it is not a question of more than half or half. And there is nothing, and I don't know how to die when I am pitted to death.
Because of this professionalism and irreplaceability, the status of lawyers is very high. There is no need to worry about someone learning how to be a lawyer because the price of hiring a lawyer is too high.
You know, lawyers and doctors have always been licensed, but it is very difficult to get in. The United States often wants to treat a disease, and it takes an appointment for a month or two, and in most cases, there is such a reason.
In addition to the assistance of dozens of law firms in each country, Chiba Games also has a long-term cooperation in the United States, with a team of up to 300 lawyers, who are responsible for resolving disputes around the world. For example, there are some patent disagreements, such as some messy things.
In short, these people are on call, and within twenty-four hours, they can reach any corner of the planet where they are needed.
Of course, luxury hotels, expensive airfares, and staggering differential fees are the price to pay for enjoying the service.
In fact, the professional game plan that Lin Yan planned a long time ago has been continuing, among which the lawyer game and the doctor game are very popular with players.
Because, in the real world, these professions have different meanings.
Of course, there are some of the more funny games in the zài.
For example, "Surgical Simulation", which was independently released on the independent game channel, players who have played this game are basically saying that where is this saving lives, it is obviously killing other people's lives.
However, this game has been widely popular because of its absurdity, and a game with a game capacity of less than 100 megabytes has sold more than 100,000 copies, and the author's mobile phone has reached millions of dollars.
There are not too many examples of such a game hitting the shelves and getting rich overnight. Because, there are many people who have started to make indie games, imagining that the next person to get rich overnight is themselves.
Of course, the Chiba game still has a certain guiding role after all. It's like a lottery that gives out a jackpot every now and then.
Indie games also have a big hit from time to time. Of course, these big-selling games, with the exception of the promoters of Chiba games, are not cheating on the number jù.
Because the quality of these games is passable, and it is indeed above the level line.
Of course. There are also games like "Goat Sim", "Stone Simulator", "Big Tree Simulator" and so on, which look terrible but sell very well.
The success of these games is not accidental, but because of creativity. It's like the stone pet that Mayu once did by the river.,It's not worth much in itself.,But with creativity.。 It sold tens of millions of dollars.
It's not too much to say that Mayu Riverside is a little rich woman, in fact, she keeps her money in Zài Bank, and the interest for a year will make him live a life that many people can't struggle for a lifetime.
Of course, if she invests this money in third world countries and buys houses in third world countries, the price of houses will rise dramatically. Then she will go from a little rich woman to a big rich woman.
In fact, Hong Kong people call the first house in their lives a "garage". When you buy a house, it's like you're in a high-speed train, and whether you're sitting or lying down, you're going to move faster than anyone out there who is running harder.
So. In Hong Kong, a house of ninety-one square meters in size. It is called a thousand-foot mansion. There are many people who have a toilet that is only the size of a toilet, and you need to stand on the toilet to take a bath.
There is a saying that the rate of return on labor is lower than the rate of return on capital, and then that environment will enter a relatively solid environment.
Other words. No matter how hard you work, you can't compare to those who have a house. If you work all your life, you can't reach the www.biquge.info of the pen fun pavilion that people are born with.
This shows that a society is solidified. Social solidification may be good for some people, but it is really bad for the development of the country as a whole.
Imagine fifty years of hard work. It's better to have a good father, so why work hard in that case?
Why work hard?
It's useless to fight anyway, is it?
As a result, all the people in this area are the driving force to fight upward. And a country is made up of an individual, and if people lose their motivation, the natural state will not develop.
Of course, for some people, this is a good thing. Because, it means that their offspring, even a fool, will have no worries about food and clothing.
And they have more opportunities than those at the bottom. It has the advantage of information asymmetry. You must know that the more information asymmetry, the more money you transfer.
Some people don't even have the ability at all, relying on this kind of information asymmetry, it is enough to support themselves for a lifetime.
For example, a college student, let him start a business. His best idea is nothing more than to provide services to alumni or open his own restaurant.
Because, he lives in such a circle, and he knows so much information. What he can come into contact with is generally the kind of relatively low-level industry, that is, the terminal industry of an industrial chain. You can only see the store, but you can't see the factory.
You must know that there are many executives who have worked in the company for many years, and they often come out on their own after establishing a company independently. The food is still the food of the industry.
Because he knows who needs what and where to find it.
This kind of transaction, as long as it is done, will be addictive, because it is so easy, it is too easy.
It's like a place called a real estate agent, where people actually take advantage of information asymmetry to earn huge price differences.
Let's put it this way, a house is worth 10 million, and the person in charge of the agent who sells it has a 2% share. Then, a set sold is 200,000.
It doesn't take much a year, and if you sell five sets, it will be at the level of one million per year.
And how many hard-working white-collar workers can reach this number in a year's income. Except for a very small number of middle-level white-collar workers, the rest of them have no chance of getting the money.
And one of the things that real estate agents hate is that they want to maintain their advantage in this information asymmetry. As a result, all means were exhausted to prevent the seller from contacting the buyer.
In addition, because the house transfer procedures are more troublesome, they also have a certain degree of irreplaceability. That's why they make so much money.
For example, on the Internet, there is a website where you can post rental information, and on this website, you send such a message, and put a photo of your house and the price.
In a few minutes, the real estate agent will follow your introduction and release a new message. And this information, except for the price, is exactly the same as what you posted.
Renters tend to look for cheap properties, and when they make the same introduction, they naturally choose the ones with the lower price.
After receiving the call, the agent will confirm with you first, saying that I am an intermediary of XX, and I see the information you posted on the website of XX, and I intend to let us act as your agent for the rental business.
If you agree, they will lower the price and take the house away from you at a price much lower than the market price, because they cut off your access to rent, and you will never receive rental information. They will say, your house has all kinds of defects, since you can't rent it, why not cheaper.
If you don't agree, then they don't care. They'll meet up with the customers who are waiting to rent over there, and I'm sorry to say, I'm really sorry, this property has just gone, we have other houses, would you like to take a look?
Generally, those who want to rent an apartment will agree, after all, they are a "professional organization". Then, they will rent some more expensive or problematic houses to renters.
However, the real landlord has a much lower price and a very good condition house, but it cannot be rented.
Even, a little more excessive, with dynamic social organizations for linkage. This means that within a certain area, you cannot rent out your own house.
If you don't know them and rent them out yourself, then you can wait.
They have made great fortunes by taking advantage of information misproduction, and some have erected them as models.
To say that the intermediary is indeed used again, because it is an information platform, which brings convenience to people.
However, this slightly opportunistic means of making money is regarded as justice. It would be wrong to laugh at those who work hard and work hard to make money as fools.
After all, industry is the foundation of a qiē.
Even if you want to be an intermediary, you must have a solid foundation for survival. As the saying goes, **************, but the draught is not only sold at a high price, but also laughs at the brain problem of digging wells, so there is a problem.
Although Lin Yan said that he had stopped the new planning, he kept these things. I guess it's a game that some people won't be very popular. (To be continued...... )
