Chapter 5 Ways to Make Money
The Empire State Building, located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, is the world's tallest skyscraper, with a height of 381 meters and a total of 103 floors, with a total height of 443.7 meters after the addition of a 62-meter-high antenna in 1951, so here, Zheng Yi can overlook almost the most prosperous area of New York.
Once when he watched the "Spider-Man" movie, he fantasized that he could be like Spider-Man, shuttling and gliding through the buildings of the city, standing on the urban skyscrapers and looking down on the whole city, how easy it was.
Today, however, this fantasy has really come true, and I am standing on the roof of the Empire State Building in the United States, overlooking the whole city.
The kind of pride that will be overwhelming and look at the mountains is indescribable!
"Hahaha, cool!" Zheng Yi shouted excitedly, and immediately sat down on the roof of the building, looking at the sunset in the distance, and suddenly felt proud in his heart, "The scenery here is really beautiful!" ”
Zheng Yi suddenly remembered Amy, if he could take Amy to sit here and watch the sunset together... Hey... Zheng Yi began to YY again.
"By the way, this should be the place where King Kong jerks off!" Zheng Yi suddenly remembered the movie "King Kong" he had watched, King Kong finally climbed to the Empire State Building, ready to take the heroine to see the sunrise, and was finally shot by the US Air Force.
After sitting on the roof of the building for a long time, Zheng Yi jumped down again, and then leaped in the direction of his home.
"Brother, why did you come back so late!" As soon as she got home, her sister Tina asked.
"Oh, just went to see the sunset!" Zheng Yi said with a smile.
"What's so nice about sunsets? Brother, are you in love? Tina asked with a gossipy face.
"Hurry up and concentrate on your homework!" Zheng Yi rubbed his sister Tina's head, and then went back to his room.
Throwing the schoolbag on the chair, Zheng Yi lay on the bed, thinking about it for a while, including how he should earn hero points next, how to make Spider-Man clothes for himself, how to make money to help his aunt change her life, and how to pursue Amy......
"No, it's impossible to know where crime is going on all the time staying at home, and it seems that I'll have to sneak out at night to find an opportunity to fight crime!" Zheng Yi thought in his heart, but he was still a student, and he often sneaked out at night, and if his aunt found out that it was difficult to explain, she would also worry about her.
And before that, you have to get a set of outfits, after all, in a more classic sentence of Batman, wearing a mask is not to protect yourself, but to protect the people you love.
In the early stage of designing combat uniforms, although you can temporarily replace them with some simple headgear, you will have to spend money to find someone to customize a spider suit made of elastic and resilient materials in the later stage, which is the standard configuration of superheroes.
Therefore, what Zheng Yi is most eager to do right now is actually to make money.
No matter what world you are in, money is always very important, if you have money, not only can you make your aunt not have to work so hard, but you can also make yourself live more chic, and the most important thing is that Zheng Yi knows very well that pursuing a girl has to pay a cost, and if there are not enough material conditions to support it, how can you hold a beauty and save beauty by heroes alone?
That's really just a movie plot!
And Zheng Yi knows that although he has superpowers, it is not so easy to use this superpower to convert into wealth, such as the plot of the original movie, Peter Parker went to participate in the black boxing competition to earn bonuses, but he actually only got a hundred dollars in the end, and he didn't make any other money later, and he has always been a poor student.
But Zheng Yi is not just an ordinary student!
Zheng Yi was a programmer for an Internet company when he was on Earth, and he has a lot of experience in website development, as well as some experience in website operation.
So Zheng Yi's first thought of making money was a website.
"By the way, it's 2001!" Zheng Yi suddenly thought of something, and jumped up from the bed excitedly.
You must know that this Spider-Man movie was filmed in 2001 and released in 2002, so the approximate time background of the whole movie is also around 2001, although many technological settings in this world are very advanced, far ahead of the real earth.
However, the development of the Internet in this world is not much different from that of the earth in 2001, and the mainstream websites in the United States are Google and Yahoo, and as for the social network platform, it is almost blank in this era.
The popularity of Facebook, Weibo and WeChat on the planet all illustrates the huge potential of social networks.
"Why don't I use my own technology to start a Facebook site in this world?" The more Zheng Yi thought about it, the more excited he became, and some operational plans about Facebook immediately came to mind.
After a website is developed, operation and promotion are also very important, only their own website has enough visibility and users to be able to better develop, in order to get investment.
However, Zheng Yi is very confident in this, because social networks have great demand in this era, as long as they are developed by themselves, they don't even need to pay too much promotion costs, and they can make the website quickly popular just by relying on word of mouth on campus.
And he is Spider-Man, it won't be long before Spider-Man's name spreads throughout New York, and even throughout the United States, and when the time comes, as long as you get some exclusive photos, videos, and news about yourself, and spread them through your own website, you can definitely make your website popular in an instant.
When the time comes, money or something, it really won't be a problem anymore, you have to know the founder of Facebook - Mark? Zuckerberg, about four years after the official launch of the website, is worth $13.5 billion, making him the youngest billionaire in the world in 2008 and the youngest self-employed billionaire in the world.
Although Zheng Yi knows that he can't live in this world forever, as long as he operates it properly, Facebook may still become popular in a short period of time, even if he can't become a billionaire, but it is still possible to be a millionaire or a multimillionaire. Should he have something to do in the company, so that Peter Parker can also achieve more and have the confidence to pursue Mary? Jane.
The more Zheng Yi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but want to start writing the program right away, but the problem was?
"I don't have a computer!" Zheng Yi is full of black lines, his current family conditions are very ordinary, and he has no money to buy him a computer, it seems that he has to find a way to get the first pot of gold.
"Just use Peter's way!" Zheng Yi remembered the advertisement for the duel match that Peter Parker saw in the newspaper in the movie, and he immediately began to rummage through the newspaper at home, and sure enough, he found the advertisement: The American Swing Horn League, recruiting for the Amateur Challenge, with a prize of 3,000 US dollars.
Three thousand dollars, this is enough for Zheng Yi to buy the best office computer at present, and even the Internet is enough, and the rest of the money can also be used to buy new home appliances for the family and beautiful clothes for his aunt and sister.
And you can also find someone to customize the spider suit.
Zheng Yi began to draw Spider-Man's clothes on paper, although his drawing level is the level of a primary school student, but after all, as a die-hard fan of the Spider-Man movie, he still remembers Spider-Man's clothes, so in the end, he also roughly drew what Spider-Man's clothes look like.
The next step is to find a tailor shop and make it ordered.
Two days later, in an underground arena in New York, the shouts rose like a tsunami and countless frenzied spectators hysterically chanting the same name: Big Mac.
In the ring, the muscular man was cast of brass and iron, lifted his opponent high and threw him to the ground, then jumped from a great height and slammed his elbow on the man's chest.
Hiss –
"That's ruthless!" Zheng Yi gasped, feeling as if he heard the sound of the man's ribs breaking from afar, this kind of underground fighting was really bloody and violent.
"1-2-3-end!" The host shouted excitedly: "Who is the first place?" ”
The crazy audience at the scene suddenly shouted in unison: Big Mac, Big Mac, Big Mac...... The momentum is truly amazing.
"Everyone!" The host shouted again, "Big Mac McGregor, the prize money is three thousand dollars, who has the kind of fight against the Big Mac for three minutes?" ”
The host was still shouting, Zheng Yi had already left the arena and came to the backstage registration office, where there were many people who came to challenge, obviously attracted by the $3,000 bonus.
"Next..." Finally it was Zheng Yi's turn, he walked to the registration office, and the black fat woman in charge of registration glanced at Zheng Yi and said a little strangely, "Sorry, this is not the audience entrance!" ”
At this time, Zheng Yi was basically fully armed, he wore a pullover hoodie, wrapped his head tightly, and covered the lower half of his face with a cloth, which was uglier than Peter Parker's first spider suit in the original movie.
"I'm here for the challenge!" Zheng Yi said in a deep voice.
"Well, you have to understand that you were injured in this game and the New York Horn League is in no way responsible, are you sure you volunteered?" The black woman warned.
"Yes!"
"Go ahead, may God bless you!" The black woman shook her head slightly, "Next!" ”
In the arena, the Big Mac threw another challenger off the stage, and the boiling shouts of the audience rang out again, and the Big Mac also shouted: Who is the next victim?
The arrogance can be described as extremely arrogant!
"Great! Family! Still want to see it? The host also shouted hysterically, and immediately gave the microphone to the Big Mac.
"Big Mac is ready! Who else? "The big man roared like a wild beast.
"Okay, the next victim, please play!" The host walked to the entrance, and if he could hold on to the cage for three minutes, the $3,000 prize would be the ...... Hey, what's your name! The moderator asked in a low voice.
"Spider-Man!" Zheng Yi, who was standing behind the curtain, replied.
"The $3,000 prize is this horrible, deadly, amazing ...... Spider-Man! ”
The curtain was pulled up in an instant, and Zheng Yi, who was wearing a spider costume, was instantly exposed to the spotlight, and the audience suddenly resounded with boos and doubts.
After all, compared to the big giant, Zheng Yi's figure is indeed not worth mentioning, and he is really like a little monkey standing in front of a gorilla.
But the show may have just begun......
