The boy in the rebirth

Chapter 19 Online games at the peak of popularity

The entrance of Flying Internet Cafe.

Since Li Zhanbo was really hungry and tired, Jiang Mu asked him to go back first, and Jiang Mu came to have an interview with the owner of Feixiang Internet Cafe.

After Jiang Mu came, he took the Hua Zi given by Zhu Ronghua and distributed it to Boss Xiao of the Internet cafe, and expressed his thoughts.

"If you want to charter a flight, calculate the price, 10-20 computers, charter a flight for 24 hours. I will give you a discount of up to 1.5 an hour."

Boss Xiao smoked the Hua Zi Jiang Mu handed over, looked Jiang Mu up and down,

He didn't expect that the client Xia Zisu mentioned was actually a high school student, so he deliberately offered Jiang Mu a daily price.

But Jiang Mu knows how to do it. For example, in Feixiang Internet Cafe, there are deluxe and ordinary districts. The deluxe district is the one equipped with cameras, widescreen LCD computer monitors, high-end earphones and keyboards.
Then it is said that the network speed is also fast, but Jiang Mu has experienced it. In fact, the network speed is similar to that in the normal area, but there are some differences in the CPU, motherboard or power supply of the host.

In 2008, the price of such a luxury area of ​​Internet cafes was generally 1.5 yuan per hour for members, and 2 yuan per hour for non-members.

"Boss Xiao, you gave me the price for a private room, right?" Jiang Mu also ordered Zhi Huazi, squinting his eyes and smiling faintly at Boss Xiao.

"How is it possible, the price of private room membership is 2.5 per hour! I can't give it, I can't give it!"

"Then doesn't that mean there is no discount?" Jiang Mu said bluntly.

"But now in summer, the electricity bill is much more expensive when the air conditioner is turned on!" Boss Xiao is also a smart person. He knew in a few words that Jiang Mu was not an ordinary young man, and he couldn't be fooled at all, so he started talking about the electricity bill.

Jiang Mu nodded. He knew that once the air conditioner was turned on, it would cost much more than a ceiling fan, so he thought for a while and said, "I don't want the machine in the luxury area, just the ordinary area. The membership price of the ordinary area is 1 One hour, you have to give me a little discount."

Boss Xiao saw that what Jiang Mu wanted was the common area, so he calculated that he still had about 40 computers in the ordinary area.

You know, if most of the prime time slots are removed and morning and evening are left, these computer seats are actually not full!

Only in the prime time of noon and afternoon can it be said that it is running at full capacity, so if Jiang Mu can cover these for the whole day, he must be very happy.

"9 cents, I'll give you 9 cents for an hour!"

Boss Xiao made a very heartbroken expression and said that the management of this expression is also very well controlled, giving people the feeling that he has already made a lot of profits.

"8 cents, how nice it sounds, 88 fafa, you get rich and lucky!" Jiang Mu smiled and handed Boss Xiao another Huazi.

"This..." Boss Xiao took the cigarette and lit it, but his face showed embarrassment.

He seemed to be still hesitating. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be so ruthless in asking for a price.

"I'll settle for 8 cents, 20 machines. If I don't have this price, I'll go to another Internet cafe. If the distance is farther, I'll take a walk to exercise!" Jiang Mu said directly.

Jiang Mu knew in his heart that at least half of the time, these seats were not full of people, which was why he dared to bargain.

"You...have so many computers on, what are you going to use them for?" Boss Xiao got a little nervous when he heard that Jiang Mu was going to another Internet cafe, so he asked.

"My, I'm going to call people over to do power leveling, leveling and clearing tasks." Jiang Mu thought for a while, and said: "Besides, I brought traffic over here, your drinks, snacks, and cigarettes will sell better gone?"

"Then according to what you said, isn't 8 cents 8 better, how about it?" Hearing this, Boss Xiao used Jiang Mu's routine.

"Okay! Then it's settled!" Hearing this, Jiang Mu thought that this number is not bad!

So the two finally settled on this offer.

Then Boss Xiao and Jiang Mu finished negotiating the price at the entrance of the Internet cafe, and left without going back to the Internet cafe. It was time for dinner, so there was probably some entertainment.

He came here today to pay the front desk staff salaries, and secondly, he came for Jiang Mu's client.

……

Jiang Mu is very familiar with the power leveling industry.

Now is the heyday of these online games, but many genuine online games are very slow to upgrade, fight monsters, and collect equipment. It takes a lot of time, so a hidden industry such as power leveling has been born.

When Jiang Mu saw Xia Zisu playing a game booster earlier, he noticed that the girl was playing the online game Dream Talk Westward Journey.

In 2008, "Westward Journey in Dreams" reached 232 million online users. After that, it won the title of the annual game popularity pinnacle for several consecutive years, and reached new highs every year. This popularity value lasted until 2013. Only then has it declined.

What is this concept?It is unmatched in the domestic market!

In the global game market, Jiang Mu really can't think of anything better and more complete than Menghua among the same type of casual development like Menghua.

What's more, the beauty of this game is that it can be played multiple times on one machine, so when he saw Xia Zisu's multiple games on one machine yesterday, he remembered, didn't he play like this before?
At that time, he had a sudden idea, and then ran over to Xia Zisu and asked: "If you pull up to level 69, how long will it take at the fastest?"

This Xia Zisu can do 4 to 5 open, the level is definitely not bad, Xia Zisu replied: "Practice 12 hours a day, about two weeks or so! It will be faster if someone takes it, compress it, maybe 10 Within days."

Level 69 in this game is a watershed. After level 69, you will be in the middle and late stages. At that time, upgrading and doing tasks will not only be slow, but also the investment will be greater as you get to the later stage.

Therefore, there are often many players who will be stuck at level 69 to play more time and accumulate more resources, such as game coins, skill points, equipment and pets.

Hearing Xia Zisu's answer, Jiang Mu reckoned that it was similar to what he remembered. Jiang Mu basically remembered all the strategies in the early stage of the game. If he reached level 69 within a week, if two or three people did not log out for 24 hours, it would be really worthwhile. possible!

During the period, Jiang Mu also checked some popular game forums at this time, as well as the amount and transaction volume of buying and selling game accounts on Taotao.com...

Here, if it is a new area that has just opened, the price will be much higher than that of the old area, and it can be sold in the range of 800-1200. After all, the market is like this, and the price is constantly changing with market factors.

There is such a huge market demand, in this way, imagine if you open a few more computers, find a few more people to follow your own upgrade strategy to do power leveling operations, and then sell them to those players on game forums and Taotao.com. Can't you just make a fortune?
But when Jiang Mu just entered the door,

He suddenly remembered:
Oops!Don't you have that much cash now?

Jiang Mu thought about it for a while, and took out his PHS, ready to call his mother and ask her for 2000 yuan.

In fact, Jiang Mu can wait for the liquidity of his online store to arrive in the account before starting this step.

But he was afraid that if Boss Xiao suddenly repented,

After all, there is also a 'membership recharge [-] get [-]' event!It's equivalent to giving you a half discount directly, and this discount is no one else.

So to be on the safe side, it's better to strike while the iron is hot and get things done right away!

"Beep, beep, beep!" The phone was connected.

Xie Junfen: "Hey! Damn it."

Jiang Mu: "Hey! Mom, can I..."

Xie Junfen: "No money!"

Jiang Mu: "???"
