Revisiting Future Path

053 Don't miss the glory that has passed away

It is a well-known thing that Huo Yongshan did not study well. After finishing high school, what will Huo Yongshan do in the future, go to work in the south, or go home and continue farming? Either way, it is hard to see that Wei Dongsheng counterattacks the hope of life.

Huo Yongshan’s parents have always been troubled by this matter, and they often ask Huo Yongzhen and Huo Yongmei to take good care of Huo Yongshan, so that Huo Yongshan cannot be embarrassed enough to marry a wife. How can I think that all of a sudden, Huo Yongshan opened an Internet cafe, even more powerful enough to be able to earn more than 5,000 yuan a day. Huo Yongzhen and Huo Yongmei worked overtime for twelve hours at the southern factory, and the combined monthly wages were not enough for four thousand yuan, which was not as good as the daily revenue of Internet cafes.

Revenue is not the same as profit.

However, the profit margin of Internet cafes in this era is basically sitting at the cash register and counting money. As many computers as there are, there is a steady stream of income.

Internet cafes are tangible fixed assets, and Huo Yongshan's family dare not believe it, and will eventually believe it. Thinking of Huo Yongshan's messy black rivers and lakes, thinking of the special nature of Internet cafes, Huo Yongshan's parents and two sisters silently accepted the fact: In any case, operating Internet cafes is more promising than mixed black rivers and lakes.

Huo Yongshan took Wei Dongsheng's ride and counterattacked his life in advance.

In order to perfect his white lies, Huo Yongshan unconsciously took advantage of Wei Dongsheng’s intangible assets to introduce to his family: First, Wei Dongsheng is his brother Huo Yongshan; second, Wei Dongsheng’s academic performance is very good, and he is the first in Wu Ping’s first grade. ; Third, Wei Dongsheng is very good at making money. He was able to make money by reselling greeting cards when he was in junior high school. In high school, he started a company directly in Yanjing. Fourth, Wei Dongsheng treats Huo Yongshan like a brother, not only sponsoring him to open an Internet cafe. The initial funds led him to the right path.

Huo Yongshan's family has a simple view of good and evil. Hearing that Wei Dongsheng's academic performance was so good that he was ranked first in Wu Ping Yi Gao, he instantly believed that Wei Dongsheng was a good student and a good person. This is also the derivative force of the school’s intangible assets. Many parents and even more citizens will immediately create a good impression when they hear that a student’s academic performance is good, as if academic performance is linked to moral character. This simple concept of good and evil is not limited to school. When you go to society and hear that someone has a good business ability or a strong earning ability, most people will instantly have a good impression, as if an entrepreneur is better than one. An operator is more trustworthy.

Huo Yongshan's family is grateful to Wei Dongsheng for leading Huo Yongshan on the right path.

Hearing that Wei Dongsheng is coming to the Internet cafe today, Huo Yongzhen and Huo Yongmei immediately bought a bunch of ingredients to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Wei Dongsheng. Huo Yongshan's character does not sit back and watch the two sisters busy, and they wash vegetables and cut fish by hand. The three of them take turns at the cashier of an Internet cafe to clean up lunch together. The hometown food for lunch tastes very delicious, and the dining room is full of Huo Yongzhen and Huo Yongmei's words of gratitude, and it is impossible to transfer to other topics. Wei Dongsheng was not accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, and the storm settled for lunch, bid farewell to sisters Huo Yongzhen and Huo Yongmei, and gathered with Huo Yongshan and several backbones of Internet cafe game studios to discuss the future.

The legendary copyright incident has caused chaos in the player community and weakened the consumption desire of some high-end players; at the same time, Shanda Networks urgently launched the legendary version 1.7 "Return of the Devil", opening up the map of Demon Valley, greatly increasing the rate of equipment violence , Weapons such as the rod of ruling, which were once so expensive, have fallen sharply, and the income of equipment trading has plummeted.

At the peak of the Internet cafe game studio, the highest daily sales was 1.451 million yuan; various reasons have declined until now, and the daily sales on February 10, 2003 have shrunk to 121,000 yuan. Vertically comparing monthly sales, the impression of decline is more obvious:

In September 2002, total monthly sales were 6.459 million yuan;

In October 2002, total monthly sales were 29.305 million yuan;

In November 2002, total monthly sales were 15.956 million yuan;

In December 2002, the total monthly sales were 13.743 million yuan;

In January 2003, the total monthly sales were 9.020 million yuan.

The 1.7 version of "The Return of the Devil" and the legendary copyright incident both broke out at the end of January. Taking into account the cruel fact that daily sales on February 10 have shrunk to 121,000 yuan, the total monthly sales in February 2003 will definitely have a cliff. It seems cut in the middle.

In other words, limited by the network foundation and the overall environment, the private server industry chain is underdeveloped, and the monthly income is not as much as Wei Dongsheng initially imagined. In October 2002, the net profit received was RMB 802,000; in November 2002, the net profit received was RMB 2.692 million; in December 2002, the net profit received was RMB 3.013 million; in January 2003, the net profit received was RMB 3.013 million. Net profit was 3.209 million yuan. Unlike the equipment transactions of Internet cafes and game studios, Wei Dongsheng has absolute initiative in the private server industry chain, and continues to increase the total profit as the private server industry market grows.

The total monthly sales of the game studio in January 2003 were 9.020 million yuan, and the 60% dividend ratio was simply converted, and the gross profit was 5.412 million yuan. If there is a cliff-like decline in February, the income from equipment transactions may be overtaken by the private server industry chain.

The huge profits of equipment trading are so short-lived.

If Wei Dongsheng has the private server industry chain emergency and the long-term expectations of the Spring and Autumn series of companies, if Huo Yongshan has taken an Internet cafe to the right path, the rest of the backbone members of the Internet cafe game studio are a little panic at the moment. Fortunately to participate in Wei Dongsheng’s equipment transaction without capital, these key members rely on 5% sales share and bonuses, and have accumulated huge amounts of wealth that were unimaginable before. For example, Tian Youliang, who ranks first in business, tapped the potential of each server with his unique sales talent. In just half a year, he received a total of more than 500,000 yuan in sales shares and bonuses. This windfall is certainly gratifying, but what about the future? Without Internet cafes and game studios to provide endless high-end equipment, without legendary online games to provide a market, Tian Youliang, no matter how talented in sales, can not afford to cook without rice.

The daily sales of Internet cafe game studios dropped again and again, shrinking from 1.451 million yuan to 121,000 yuan. Although the total sales are only in the hands of Wei Dongsheng and Huo Yongshan, all student agents can really feel the heavy pressure of the coming night through the decline in their business volume.

It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, but difficult to change from luxury to frugality.

If possible, no one wants to go back to the poor middle school life of a few months ago.

Wei Dongsheng officially pierced the cruel reality that the dream is about to break: "Do you think there is hope for the studio?"

A key member raised his hand and proposed: "Price reduction promotion should bring back sales."

Wei Dongsheng shook his head and vetoed: "No more promotions. The reason why the studio runs stably to this day is that it relies on our self-discipline. Each server sets a maximum equipment supply limit to ensure that it will not have a serious negative impact on the operation of the legend. Unscrupulous sales of equipment have seriously affected Shanda Networks' operational planning. They have long used government forces to pirate our Internet cafe studios at all costs. Remember, we are here to make money, not to destroy, nor to provoke operators. ."

The source of the goods is in the hands of Wei Dongsheng. Wei Dongsheng refuses to reduce prices and promote, and other key members have no choice.

Equipment devaluation is a general trend. If the quantity cannot be increased, how can the daily sales be brought back?

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Wei Dongsheng said his thoughts: "Japan will lose money, and the moon will lose money. Everything has its lifespan. The game studio has passed its most glorious moment. No matter how hard it is to persist, it will hardly improve. . Instead of lingering on the glories that have passed away, it is better to create a new future, right?"

Huo Yongshan asked in shock: "Are there new business?"

Wei Dongsheng briefly described the early signs of the SARS incident, without revealing his true intentions to end the SARS incident early, but to lure him into profit: "Vinegar is more difficult to transport, let alone reselling Banlangen across regions, what do you think?"

Huo Yongshan and the key members of the studio looked at each other.

As mentioned earlier, Wuping County is located inland, with no direct access to Guangyang to the south and to Yanjing to the north, and the traffic is relatively blocked. The state temporarily prohibits the media from reporting the SARS condition without authorization. Because of the lack of basic understanding of it in Wuping County, it is not even aware of the Panlangen panic buying incident in Guangdong and other provinces. The key members of the studio such as Huo Yongshan did not understand the seriousness of the SARS incident, and did not have sufficient commercial sensitivity, so they were at a loss for Wei Dongsheng's proposal.

Just in silence and embarrassment, a voice suddenly sounded: "I believe it."

Wei Dongsheng followed his prestige as Tian Youliang, who ranked first in sales of game studios in Internet cafes.

Tian Youliang added and explained: "I believe Brother Wei's vision. If you say reselling Banlangen, I will resell Banlangen."

Wei Dongsheng smiled and said, "Believe me so, aren't you afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty?"

Tian Youliang took the matter seriously: "I believe you. If you are willing, Brother Wei, I will use all the 500,000 yuan I saved to sell Banlangen."

Wei Dongsheng: "Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Tian Youliang: "I dropped out of school and worked, and I know how hard it is to make money. Before I met you, being able to find a job with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan is a daydream that Tian Youliang dare not expect. I have never There is no extravagant expectation of earning 500,000 yuan in half a year. This is what I made with you. If you lose it, then you lose it, just as Tian Youliang has no wealth."

Wei Dongsheng understands Tian Youliang.

Tian Youliang is not willing to be ordinary, and has always been a little careful.

During the operation of Wei Dongsheng's remote-control Internet cafe game studio, Tian Youliang would organize his business list into a spreadsheet every week and pass it over his direct boss Huo Yongshan to secretly forward it to Wei Dongsheng. Tian Youliang secretly reported all the adjustments to the game studio of the Internet cafes, who squeezed out Huo Yongshan’s cronies, including Wei Dongsheng’s misconduct before going to Yanjing and Huo Yongshan’s plan to run the Internet cafe.

Tian Youliang positioned himself as a dark chess lurking next to Huo Yongshan, actively monitoring Huo Yongshan for Wei Dongsheng, hoping to get Wei Dongsheng's reuse.
