Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 701 "Miracle MU" 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

And Lu Yiming is indeed right. Taobao’s model is an asset-light C2C model. It is just a pure shopping platform. It does not directly connect with users, but allows sellers and buyers to trade.

In contrast, the model of Luming Mall is B2C. It is not only a trading platform, but also a seller itself. It also builds its own logistics system. It not only spends money on purchasing goods, but also establishes warehousing and logistics systems across the country. Spend money, properly invest in heavy assets.

To put it simply, it is the extensive route that Taobao is taking. It wants to rely on the asset-light model to occupy the market share first.

Luming Mall, on the other hand, followed the path of Amazon, through intensive cultivation of logistics and warehousing, to achieve steady and steady growth.Although the speed of development in the early stage will be relatively slow, it will require a lot of funds, and it is destined to suffer long-term losses.

But once the scale is expanded, the subsequent development potential will be very amazing, and the foundation is solid, and it is not afraid of the competition of latecomers.

After finally persuading for a long time, Jack Ma was sent away.

As soon as Jack Ma left, Li Yiwen walked in, slapped a folder on the table, and said expressionlessly: "This is the marketing expense of Luming Mall during this period. Take a look. It burns hundreds of dollars a day on average. Wan, you are too generous. Are you so sure that Luming Mall can develop?"

Compared with investing in Tengyu logistics, Lu Yiming spent more money on the logistics system of Luming Mall. It can be said that it is a big investment, and the funds involved are worth billions.In Li Yiwen's view, the risk is very high.

And the most incomprehensible thing for him is, since he has already invested in Tengyu Logistics, why spend so much money on self-built logistics?

Burn too much money?
That's not such a burning method.

However, Lu Yiming also had his own difficulties!

At this time, Brother Dong was still selling CDs in Zhongguancun, and Lu Yiming originally wanted to wait a few more years to vote for JD.com.However, the plan can't keep up with the changes. In the beautiful country, the leeks are cut too hard. There is a lot of money in hand, and it is depreciating every minute. If you don't invest it, you will lose a lot.

So Lu Yiming didn't bother to wait any longer, he directly established Luming Mall, and then called Wang Juntao, a fierce man, to occupy the pit first.

"Of course it can develop. You have known me for a day or two. Don't you believe my vision? Just wait, I will definitely surprise you."

Lu Yiming read the document sent by Li Yiwen, and couldn't help sighing: "The daily marketing expenses can't even cover the interest, not to mention the depreciation caused by inflation... Cousin, you don't know, there are rich people too. The troubles of the money man..."

Li Yiwen: "????"

This fucking speaks in human language?
Li Yiwen felt a big blow, so he took the folder and left.

"Farewell!"

At this moment, Tan Jun sent a QQ message.

"Mr. Lu, recently, "Legend of Hot Blood" has recently encountered a strong competitor, who has robbed many users."

When Lu Yiming heard it, his first reaction was not surprise, but curiosity: "Oh? There is a game that can steal the users of "Legend of Blood"? Which company released it? What's its name?"

The concept of "Legend of Blood" is very advanced. In the time and space before Lu Yiming's rebirth, it became popular until [-] and [-], when it was gradually crowded out by "LOL".But even in [-] and [-], the page games developed based on legends can still achieve a turnover of over [-] million.

At this point, there are competitors?
It's fun, it's fun!
Tan Jun said: "The game is called Miracle MU, and the developer is Wangzen of Bangziguo."

This familiar name immediately evoked Lu Yiming's long memories.

"Miracle MU", this is a ruthless character who can be as famous as "Legend of Hot Blood", the big brother of Xiaguo's online game market. With its unique art style, it has even influenced generations of domestic players and game manufacturers.

"Send me the address of the official website."

Soon, Tan Jun sent over the address, which reminded Lu Yiming of one more thing - not having a search engine is really fucking painful!

Entering the website, the iconic skills of light pollution and big wings come into view.

"These are tears from my era, and it really still tastes like it did back then."

Like "Legend of Blood", "Miracle MU" is also an "enduring" online game. Even after the game body is gone, private servers and various magical revisions will still emerge in endlessly after more than ten years. For example, the most famous The most popular is the "greasy senior sister".

Around 2018, "Miracle MU", which was renamed "The Sword of the Archangel", landed on the mobile game market. Its online turnover exceeded 28 million in 2000 days, and its single-day turnover exceeded [-] million. How many mobile game peers.

Judging from these records, "Miracle MU" is indeed qualified to be the opponent of "Legend of Blood".

But not much.

Tan Jun went on to say: "Miracle MU, like our "Legend of Blood", is an online game based on the gameplay of "Diablo 2". However, the art style is more exaggerated and cool, whether it is skills or characters. Every piece of equipment on his body has a very eye-catching light effect."

Compared with "Hot Blood Legend", "Miracle MU" is better in terms of pretense. In the game, the more advanced the equipment, the more obvious the light effect.Compared with "Legend of Blood" where you click on the characters and then slowly check the equipment, the form of expression in "Miracle MU" is simpler and rude-if a player with a full body glare comes from a distance, then he must have a lot of background.

Especially the gorgeous special effects of the excellent suit, it is almost blinding the player's dog's eyes.

In addition to the special effects, the map design of the game is also very exquisite. The leaves falling with the wind, the swaying grass, the underwater world of Atlantis, and the snow-capped Icewind Valley, it can be said that the style of "Miracle MU" is unique. family.

But I have to admit that the game company in Bangzi Kingdom is really good at this.

The game characters in "Miracle MU" are extremely cool with their skills.

After browsing the official website, a burst of memories came to my mind, and Lu Yiming was also somewhat puzzled.

I remember this game is not several years later than the legend?Why did it appear now?
Not scientific.

Can't there be another person who will be reborn with me, and then be born in Bangzi Country to play games?

Or is there a guy who asked Ninetowns to introduce the game in advance?

Lu Yiming asked Tan Jun: "Who is acting as an agent for this game?"

Tan Jun said: "The agent is Tenglong Games."

"Tenglong game?"

Lu Yiming thought about it carefully, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out where he had heard the name before.

As a ten-year old fan of "Miracle MU", this shouldn't be the case.

Tan Jun added: "The owner of this company is Ma Teng."

Lu Yiming: "???!!!"

"What am I..."

Lu Yiming really has [-] grass-mud horses galloping to his mouth now.

This pony brother, without QQ, started directly from the agent game?

Tan Jun went on to say: "I have done some research. After "Miracle MU" was launched in Bangguo in 2001, it immediately became the most popular online game in that year. The developer Webzen is also second only to NEXON and NCsoft, becoming the online game in Bangguo. Giant. And in February of this year, just a few days before the Chinese New Year, Tamron obtained the agency rights of "Miracle MU."

I have to say that Ma Teng is worthy of being the king of the game. After selling QQ, he didn't lose his mind. Instead, he immediately went to Bangguo to investigate the market, and found a "miracle mu" from a pile of garbage with precise eyes. Explosive.

After paying for the agency rights, Ma Teng rushed back to China without stopping, and started the public beta immediately in mid-February.

"In just two months, Tenglong is said to have successfully earned back the agency fee. According to our research and forecast, Tenglong's revenue this year will definitely exceed 1000 million, and its registered users will exceed [-] million."

This data is not just nonsense by Tan Jun, but the development momentum of "Miracle MU" is second only to "Legend of Blood". After a little comparison, you can guess how amazing the other party's income will be.

Li Yiwen stood behind Lu Yiming, watching Lu Yiming chatting with Tan Jun.He said: "Aren't we feeling a little besieged now? MSN's problem has not yet been resolved, and "Legend of Blood" has also been sniped. If the industry's No. [-] becomes No. [-], how embarrassing it will be?"

Lu Yiming said calmly: "Don't worry, whether the game is fun or not, you don't just look at the screen. "Miracle MU" is a 2.5D online game, and it's normal that the screen is better than "Legend of Blood", but it doesn't mean that the opponent is sure of winning."

"so?"

"So I don't talk about martial arts, and decided to attack."

"???"

In the evening, Lu Yiming called Li Qiu.

"Old Li, let me tell you something."

Over there, when Li Qiu heard Lu Yiming's voice, a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said, "Boss Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Yiming said: "Last year's "Hot Blood Legend" had a turnover of more than 2000 million yuan and a net profit of [-] million yuan."

"???"

Li Qiu was full of question marks.

What does it matter to me?You won't give me any money.

However, out of professional ethics, Li Qiu still asked: "Then, Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?"

Lu Yiming said, "I hope you can visit Bangzi Country."

"What are you going to do in Bangzi Country?"

Lu Yiming said: "There is a company in Bangzi State called Wangzen. They made a game called "Miracle MU". It is very popular. Recently, they were introduced to China by Tenglong."

Li Qiu understood immediately, and asked enthusiastically, "Boss Lu plans to buy Webzen, or is he going to buy "Miracle MU" from Webzen?"

Lu Yiming said disdainfully: "I'm not interested in the game company in Bangguo, and if it was really an ordinary commercial acquisition, I wouldn't ask you for help."

Li Qiu thought for a while and said, "That's right."

He himself is a person who wanders in the dark, so it is not normal for Lu Yiming to find him.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Lu Yiming said: "I hope you can go and buy the insiders of Webzen. I want the game source code of "Miracle MU"."

Li Qiu was shocked when he heard this.

"Mr. Lu, this seems to be illegal, right?"

"so?"

"You have to pay more."

As the developer of "Miracle MU", Webzen itself is actually a small factory with little experience in management. Simply put, the management model is quite extensive. Any employee can easily get access to the game source code. Company Confidential.

After Li Qiu arrived in Bangguo, it took only one day to get in touch with an employee working in Webzen.

This person's name is Park Baek-chang, who graduated from Hanyang University, but failed to work in the big chaebol. In the end, he entered the game development team of Webzen and became a social animal.

Although he participated in the development of such an explosive game as "Miracle MU", his salary did not increase much, so that he could not afford a few decent barbecues every month, so when Li Qiu proposed to invite him When eating barbecue, he came happily.

Outside the barbecue restaurant, Park Baichang wandered back and forth furtively for a few times, finding a moment when everyone around him looked away from him, and slid into the barbecue restaurant like a loach.

"here."

At the farthest corner, Li Qiu was sitting on the armchair with his legs crossed. When he saw Pu Baichang coming in, he waved.

After making sure that there was no one he knew in the store, Park Baichang took two quick steps to sit down opposite Li Qiu, and his whole body fell into the shadow of the concrete pillar.

Looking at the crackling roasted seeds and the fresh meat dishes on the table, Pu Baichang's eyes were shining brightly.

The old god Li Qiu asked in the local dialect: "Have you brought anything?"

Hearing this, Pu Baichang's eyes dimmed a lot, and a hesitant and tangled expression appeared on his face.He said from the bottom of his heart that he didn't want to be a traitor either, and once it was revealed that he had betrayed company secrets, it wouldn't be enough to just be scolded, and it would be trivial to fire him, and he might even go to jail.

Seeing that he hesitated, Li Qiu said in a low voice: "How popular "Miracle MU" is now, you should know that I am definitely not the only one who wants to buy it, and you are definitely not the only one who wants to sell it. You don't want to take Someone else will take this money."

Hearing this, Pu Baichang's eyes suddenly became firm, and he took out a USB flash drive.

"Everything is in here, where is the money?"

As Li Qiu said, so many people in the development team have access to the source code of the game, even if he doesn't sell it, can he guarantee that other colleagues will not sell it?
Anyway, I have to sell it, why can't it be me?
The big deal is to resign after getting the money, and then go abroad.Anyway, the company carries instant noodles that are enough for three meals a day.

"Here is 5000 million stick dollars."

Li Qiu took out a canvas bag.

Park Baichang glanced at it, then handed over the flash drive to Li Qiu.

"Eat slowly, I'm leaving, I've already paid for it."

Li Qiu smiled slightly, got up and patted Pu Baichang on the shoulder, and walked out.

Park Baekchang carried the canvas bag forward, and clamped the canvas bag tightly with his stomach and the table.Not to mention being shunned by someone, it is impossible to pull it out even if you pull it hard.

On the plane back to China, Li Qiu looked at the black USB flash drive and shook his head slightly.

"I sold the source code of the game for less than 30 yuan, which is not as much as I paid for a trip, hey..."

The maximum denomination of stick yuan is 5000, and [-] million stick yuan is only a thousand pieces, only ten bundles, and the small canvas bag is not enough.

a few hours later.

Li Qiu put the flash drive on Lu Yiming's desk.

"Here, I brought you something."

Lu Yiming plugged in the USB flash drive, checked the files, and said with a smile, "I knew it, it's reliable to let you do it."

If someone else got the source code of the "Miracle MU" game, they might be able to play some tricks, such as making private servers or cheating.

But Lu Yiming is the richest man in Asia. If he dares to play like this, he may not make much money in the end, so he will put himself in it instead.

Li Yiwen asked curiously: "What are you going to do with this?"

Lu Yiming said: "I don't need to do anything, I just need to post the source code of "Miracle MU" on the Internet. After all, whether it is a private server or a cheat, it is illegal, and illegal things, I How can you do it?"

Li Yiwen: "..."

Brother, strictly speaking, you are breaking the law if you release the source code, right?

In the group of Internet bigwigs.

The popularity of "Miracle MU" has also aroused heated discussions among everyone.

Ding Sanshi: "@Ma Teng, you kid is really lucky, and you actually picked up such a blockbuster as "Miracle MU".

Ma Teng sent a triumphant expression and said, "This wave of luck is really good."

Ding Sanshi behind the screen couldn't help but smiled, and then directly @Lu Yiming: "@卢伊明, Mr. Lu, are you under a lot of pressure? The development momentum of "Miracle MU" is very strong, and I'm afraid that half of "Legend of Blood" will be taken away. "

"Haha, Fatty Ding, are you picking things up on purpose? But I like it."

"@卢伊明, Mr. Lu, look at this fat man, he's already outflanking you. I'm not picking things up. I definitely can't bear it if it's me."

"@马格, come on, get rid of the big devil of "Legend of Hot Blood"."

"You will shout slogans, I am already downloading, and support Brother Xiao Ma with actions."

Because it is online, everyone speaks more casually.

And Lu Yiming's "hating people" everywhere before also caused enough hatred, and coupled with his title of the richest man in Asia, he would naturally be "besieged" by everyone.

Lu Yiming, who had been @ variously, finally showed up after a few minutes.

"Hey, it's so lively in the group today, let me see what happened."

Seeing Lu Yiming appear, Ding Sanshi immediately jumped out: "Mr. Lu, "Miracle MU" is so popular, what do you think?"

Lu Yiming made a thoughtful expression and said, "I'll choose a seat by the window to sit and watch."

Jack Ma: "@LU Yiming, Mr. Lu, your "Legend of Hot Blood" is about to be diverted."

He originally wanted to say, "I just want you to set up Luming Mall to share my Ari's traffic", but he remembered that Ari was also invested by Lu Yiming, so he silently deleted this sentence.

There's no way, it's too short to take someone's hand.

Lu Yiming: "What? Do you think I will lose? Impossible, since I was a child I didn't know what it means to lose, @马格, just let me go."

"Damn, this is domineering, I like @马格, why don't you accept it?"

They are obviously a group of bigwigs, but in the group, they are as noisy as a group of elementary school students, and the atmosphere is very active.
