Li Mu didn't quite understand how to run the horse farm. He can only try to do it according to his own ideas, and the basic rules he is based on are exactly what he is good at, the idea of game production.

Before entering the game company where he died suddenly in his previous life, Li Mu worked in a small web game studio. Participated in the production of a web game tower defense game, called "Three Kingdoms Generals vs. Ultraman", which tells the story of the Ultraman Legion traveling through time and space, invading the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, and uniting the Three Kingdoms Wei, Shu and Wu to resist the invasion.

At that time, when the profit method was designed, one of them was to recruit military generals. The same Zhuge Liang, there are different cards such as Green Zhuge , Blue Zhuge , Purple Zhuge , Golden Zhuge , SSR Colorful God Costume Zhuge and so on, each card has different ability values and different skills. If you want to get a stronger card, you can only buy it in two ways, either you can buy it directly, or you can still charge it with less money and try your luck to draw it.

Because the odds of winning the lottery are too pitted, it makes people angry, and the complaint email is more than 9,000 per day, helplessly, the boss announced the launch of a small game to improve the odds of winning the lottery for the dicks.

The name of the mini game is 'Guan Yu dismounting', which is exactly what Li Mu is responsible for. Taken from the allusion of Guan Yu's sealing seal, the system randomly provides three Wei military strategist cards, players choose one of them, pretend to be a chaser, because the attributes of each card are different, so there will be different obstacles on the way to pursue. If the player's Wei strategist catches up with Guan Yu, Guan Yu will dismount and follow the player back to Cao Cao.

Play Guan Yu dismount once, and it costs a hundred diamonds. If the player catches up with Guan Yu, the luck value will increase by one hour. If you don't catch up, sorry, the diamond will be confiscated. According to the recharge ratio designed at that time, one hundred diamonds was worth ten yuan. The mini-game designed by Li Mu was a huge success, and it was originally a special event for the welfare of players, but it brought a 20% increase in revenue to the game company. Li Mu was also favored by his later boss because of this, and was poached with a high salary - and finally died suddenly after working overtime.

This is a sad story that tells people that if they do too much injustice, they will kill themselves.

But this did not prevent Li Mu from learning from his previous experience, knights and horses were equivalent to Wei army strategists. Let them practice in the horse farm every day, which is equivalent to showing the attribute value to the people. Everyone will not see it the same, take Takasaburo as an example. Some people will think that this person is excellent and will definitely be able to do well. But some people will think, this man's equestrianism is too fancy, Marseille is about speed, can he do it?

The same knight, in the eyes of different people, will have diametrically opposite evaluations. The same is true for a horse, with different colors, different fat and thin, different running amplitudes, and different endurance, which will make people feel different. No one will feel that they are wrong, so they will be very spread out when placing bets, and the end result will be that fewer and fewer people will hit and more people will lose money.

And then comes the best part, people who lose money don't blame the racecourse, they blame themselves. Because the horse farm has shown both people and horses, there is no concealment, it is you who have not studied it thoroughly, who is to blame if you lose money?

At this time, people who have lost money will study more and find the right way for them to get their money back. This is human nature, just like the gamblers of later generations, even if his family is surrounded by walls, few people will blame the casino, only blame themselves for their lack of skills. If he is given a chance to start over, he will not control himself not to gamble, but will learn the gambling skills that he thinks are strong, and then come back to gamble, which is also human nature.

Admittedly, gambling is not a good thing. But know that this is a subjective event, and the initiative is in your own hands. A person who can gamble to the point of bankruptcy, even if he does not bet on horses, will bet on other things. The Tang Dynasty was not without other gambling equipment, and now the folk gambling style is very prosperous. There are those who gamble on odds and evens with stones, and even bet on whether the children born by the neighbors are male or female, not to mention the dignitaries, the 'leaf card' has long been prosperous, even if you don't play the leaf card, you can gamble on a game of chess. Gambling is human nature, it can't be stopped, since anyone earns money is earned, why not earn?

Anyway, Li Mu has no psychological burden at all.

After walking around, Li Mu and Cheng Yanjin found a place to sit down next to the racecourse, and Cheng Qian waited beside them.

Li Mu said: "The arrangements are very good, and I haven't picked out any problems." However, for the sake of the long term, I have two things to discuss with my uncle. ”

"Virtuous nephew, just open your mouth, whatever you say, as long as you can make money, all listen to you."

"The first thing is the clearing near our Happy Valley. We've got to figure out a way to put the space to good use. ”

Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened and said, "How to use it?" ”

"Uncle, you think, when we were racing, there were a lot of people around. If there are people, there will be money. Do you think that if someone wins a bet and gets a windfall, will he want to spend some of it? Therefore, my plan is to put up a grid of vacant land, and each of them is a stall, and put up notices, and rent the vacant land to those who do business. Let this place form a bazaar, and charge different rents according to the vendors' operations, so that we can collect a lot of rent every time we play. ”

Cheng Qian calculated in his heart and said, "Master Hou is right, even if there are thirty stalls, each stall has the same money, and the income is hundreds of yuan a month. ”

Cheng Yanjin said disdainfully: "It's just a hundred, can you commit such a big Zhou Zhang?" ”

"Uncle, a penny is also money," Li Mu said seriously: "Earning more than a penny is a penny, and being empty is also empty, besides, as many small traders as we can help with this move, there are as many mouths as there are, and when we don't hold Marseille, we say that we are good, and the value of this, uncle, can't you see it?" ”

"Hmm......" Cheng Yanjin tried to make a look that he could understand, but he really didn't understand, and said irritably: "What you say is what it is, the old man is too lazy to think about it." ”

Seeing that Cheng Yanjin agreed, Li Mu said again: "There is one more thing...... After I said that, my uncle must be calm and not too excited. ”

Cheng Biting Jin blinked his eyes and said: "Say, the old man is the general who leads the army, and Mount Tai can still not change his face when he collapses in front of him, are you still afraid of scaring the old man?" ”

"Uncle, I think if we want to make our business bigger, we have to divide a part."

"You! Say! What?! Cheng Yanjin suddenly stood up, his eyes were bigger than a cow, and he jumped to his feet and shouted: "You kid, is your head in the water!" How to send out the benefits of your own home! I gave it to Your Majesty last time, so we won't say anything, and now we want to send it again? Then we have a few dollars left! Don't do it! I don't do it! It's a big deal not to do business, and I don't have to be angry! ”

Li Mu guessed that he would be like this, and he was not angry, he stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, and arched his hand: "Since Uncle Cheng doesn't let the little nephew finish speaking, then the little nephew won't say it, and the little nephew of the horse farm doesn't want it, Uncle Cheng will do it himself, the little nephew has gone home, and there are still things to be busy." ”

"You go, you go!"

Cheng Biting Jin shouted, Li Mu turned around and left, Cheng Qian was so anxious that he knelt at Cheng Biting Jin's feet, hugged his thigh and said: "Grandpa, the little one is your domestic servant, you shouldn't be too talkative, but you have to think twice, our horse farm, everywhere is inseparable from the Hou of the Deer, you have a falling out with him, our horse farm can still be open for a few days, this is all money, my grandfather!" ”

Cheng Yanjin struggled, seeing that Li Mu was about to walk to the door of the racecourse, he hurriedly shouted: "You kid wait!" ”

Li Mu stood still, looked back at him, Cheng Yanjin strode over, and said, "You say, I want to see who has such a big face, and dares to come to me Lao Cheng to share the account!" ”

"Uncle, except for Your Majesty, who would dare. You don't let the little nephew finish speaking, it's not that someone wants to share your money, I mean, in order to make more money, we have to take the initiative to divide part of the business. ”

Cheng bit the gold and said angrily: "My old Cheng is a reckless man, I can't understand the twists and turns, you pick up what I can understand!" ”

"Uncle, do you remember that the last time I discussed with you about giving His Majesty 30% of the net profits, I said that the main reason for giving His Majesty the pure profits is for the right of exclusivity."

"Remember!"

"Your Majesty's franchise, does it only mean the franchise in Chang'an City?"

"Hmm......" Cheng Biting Jin's eyes rolled, and said, "You mean, there is only one horse farm in Datang?" ”

"It's also unrealistic."

Cheng Biting Jin said angrily: "Then what do you mean!" ”

Li Mu was not in a hurry, and said: "I heard that Luoyang, the eastern capital, is not weaker than Chang'an. Chang'an earns 7,000 yuan for a horse race, and if Luoyang holds a horse race, even if it is less, it will be 5,000 yuan! ”

Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's very easy, just send someone to Luoyang to open a horse farm." ”

Li Mu laughed and said, "Uncle, it's not that the little nephew underestimates you, in Chang'an, everyone can give you a face, this is because you are in Chang'an." But when you arrive in Luoyang, there is a saying that the emperor is far away, and His Majesty's will may be contrary to yin and yang, in the face of such great interests, who will give you this face? ”

Cheng Yanjin was silent, although he wanted to release his bold words, but he knew in his heart that Li Mu was not bad at all.

"So what do you say?"

Li Mu said: "It's very simple, chain operation. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Our biggest advantage now is that we have a franchise granted by His Majesty, that is to say, the government only recognizes the horse farms we operate, and other horse farms are illegal. In addition, we know how to run a racecourse, such as how to make a profit, how to determine odds, etc., and they don't understand it. If it's just imitation, they're going to lose money. At this time, if we let out the wind, all the gate valve families can come to operate a chain horse farm business with us, and we will teach them how to run a horse farm, and we will help them get government approval, and we will help them train their guys, as long as they have a part of the profits from their operation, how do you think they will react? ”

"Do you need to ask about such a good thing? They're sure they're crawling on the ground! ”
