My 1999

"Mr. Xu, MO Gen Stanley is very willing to serve you."

In the capitalist world, money is God.

After signing the contract and setting aside a deposit of US$50,000, Xu Liang left.

Return to hotel.

Qiao Yuhui's phone call came.

"Brother Xu, do you miss me?"

The sweet voice came over and made Xu Liang's teeth hurt.

"Put your tongue straight and speak."

Xu Liang was angry.

"It's really boring. The loan from Beijing Bank has been approved, 50 million Huaxia coins, interest rate 5.2, loan for three years."

"Full amount?"

"I'm just kidding, who dares to get a kickback when your beautiful lady is taking action?"

Xu Liang ignored her teasing and quickly ordered: "In the name of financial management, transfer 20 million to the account of Hongyan Fund. In the name of borrowing, transfer 20 million to the account of Hongmeng Company. The remaining 10 million will be kept. Two million will be used as a reserve, and the remaining money will be used to buy the Wangjing Commercial Building."

"No, you are dividing it too quickly, right?! The money has just been transferred to the account, and it's gone before I can warm it up?"

Also, Wangjing Commercial Building has a construction area of ​​7,800 square meters. It costs at least 28 million to buy it. You want to buy it for only 8 million? "

"Loan. A down payment of eight million is enough. I'll talk to Beijing Bank. I believe they won't refuse." Xu Liang said.

With Jiang Xiaoyang's face in it, as long as there are no violations, Beijing Bank will certainly not refuse.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Yuhui gritted his teeth and said, "I find this guy is so shameless."

"wrong.

I just used resources wisely. ...By the way, try it with four million first. If they agree to the loan, then sign the contract; use the remaining four million to buy the Ark Commercial Building opposite the Siyuan West Bridge.

Hey, did you hear that? "

Qiao Yuhui's voice sounded after a moment.

"No wonder you make so much money in business. You are so treacherous."

"Thank you for your compliment. I'm very happy. It shows that I am a qualified businessman."

Seeing that the man opposite was as thick-skinned as the city wall, Qiao Yuhui hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the blind tone, Xu Liang put away his phone calmly.

Where is this?

In his previous life, he had gone to give gifts to leaders at three o'clock in the morning on New Year's Day.

Of course, instead of knocking on the leader’s door at three in the morning, he stood outside and waited.

When the leader wakes up, he will be the first to visit and pay New Year greetings.

Don't feel aggrieved because you arrived late and couldn't even get in line.

Later, when he had money, he still went to line up at three in the morning, but it was not him, but his secretary.

When the queue is almost done, switch to him.

There are many similar things.

Therefore, you must use it when you have a relationship, and don't feel embarrassed, otherwise you will have trouble with money.

I found Xie Wen's number and called it.

"Mr. Xu."

"Lao Xie, how is the Chinese version of "Legend: Overlord War" going?"

"In three days, the database will be modified."

Xu Liang was shocked, "Has the propaganda started?"

"It's begun. The first batch of 300,000 free mouse pads has begun to be distributed in Internet cafes across the country; 50,000 large posters have been printed, and we are negotiating with Internet cafes everywhere to post them.

Moreover, the top advertisements on the homepage of the website have all been replaced with links to "Legend: War of Overlords". "

"Where's the card?"

"There are currently three types of printing, 35 yuan and 120 hours, 25 yuan and 72 hours, and 10 yuan and 25 hours. Each type has printed 300,000 sheets."

"Not enough, double it."

Originally, Shanda did not expect Legend to be so popular. The point cards they prepared were quickly sold out, and it was too late to arrange printing, so they had to make up the numbers by handwriting.

Xu Liang didn't want this.

"Is it too much?"

Nine hundred thousand of each type represents revenue of 84 million.

Can "Legend: War of Kings" sell for 84 million? Xie Wen has no confidence.

"I believe in the potential of a legend."

Xu Liang's affirmative tone stopped Xie Wen from refuting.

"Have you negotiated the share with the Internet cafe owner?"

"It's agreed that nine will be divided into one. Nine for us and one for the Internet cafe."

"We can't have only Internet cafes as one channel, otherwise it will be easy to be controlled by others." Xu Liang said.

"I think so.

So I plan to recruit more programmers and develop an online payment system that can transfer money directly through online banking. "

Online banking was officially launched by China Merchants Bank in 1997, and soon expanded to the five major state-owned banks. Now basically all large banks have this service.

However, not many people have bank cards and are familiar with online banking transfers.

"Online banking transfers can only be used as a supplement. I think it is better to open convenience stores, especially convenience stores in major universities and youth communities." Xu Liangdao.

"Convenience stores are indeed a good channel to directly reach customers. In addition, I also plan to cooperate with China Telecom and use their outlets for promotions." Xie Wen said.

"If we can really open up these channels, it will be enough." Xu Liang smiled after nodding.

"Yeah. It's a pity that the 'Internet cafe management software' hasn't been perfected yet. Otherwise, we wouldn't have bothered to develop online banking transfers. We could directly sell a serial number through the Internet cafe management software, and the Internet cafe owner would directly transfer it to the customer. This would save a lot of money out of thin air." cost."

"Let's do it step by step. You won't become fat if you eat one bite. By the way, have you contacted the server?"

"I've already contacted the telecommunications company, let's rent a group first."

There are one hundred units in one group, and one unit can accommodate 300 to 500 people.

In other words, Xie Wen’s estimate of the number of people online at the same time in “Legend: Overlord War” is 30,000 to 50,000.

"Servers cannot always be rented. Tomorrow I will put 20 million into Hongmeng's account, and you can use 10 million to buy 500 HP servers."

The mainstream servers on the market now are IBM, Sun Microsystems and HP.

IBM is mainly a mainframe computer, which costs hundreds of thousands to millions. It is basically purchased by banks and other financial institutions and giant companies that need to process huge amounts of data.

Sun Micro is also good, but HP is cheaper. The enterprise-level HPlp2000r model is basically 20,000 units. Although the memory is only 512MB, it is already considered economical in this era.

"Is five hundred units too many?" Xie Wen asked.

"We not only have one game called "Legend: War of Overlords", but "Tianxia" will also be in open beta soon, and the Korean branch also has a "Millennium" that will be officially launched soon.

Three games and 500 servers may not be enough.

Moreover, if we rent someone else's server, if there is an overload, power outage, or hacker attack, we have to find someone from the telecommunications company to open the computer room for us, which is too time-consuming. "

In Xu Liang's mind, investment in servers has just begun.

In the future, the operation of "Legend 2", coupled with Hongmeng Search, website directory, etc., will require tens of thousands of servers.

That’s when it’s time to consider investing in a data center.

After convincing Xie Wen.

Xu Liang hung up the phone.

Originally, he wanted Xie Wen to recruit some designers to develop game peripherals, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

You have to eat your food one bite at a time, and the real thing is to launch the game first.
