With the money in his hands, Li Ze immediately let Lin Yue continue to expand the League of Legends internet cafe in various places.
After entering the second half of 2000, there were more and more Internet cafes everywhere, and the competition had gradually become fierce. As a result, the internet fee had been reduced to 3.5 yuan.
However, Li Ze's more than 20 internet cafes could still bring him at least two to three million in net profit every month.
Of course, compared to the profits of the Legend of Mir 2, which had already started charging for its operations.
The money earned by the internet cafe was just a small amount.
But at least in the short term, continuing to invest in internet cafes was still a profitable industry. Li Ze couldn't give up such a big opportunity to make money.
Apart from that, Li Ze also asked Shen Qianru to continue to push the sales of the Legendary Game Card across the country as soon as possible.
It allowed players in relatively remote small cities to easily purchase game cards.
It didn't matter if he spent more money.
It was mid-December.
The Legend of Mir 2 had been operating for half a month.
Now, even in most cities in the Southwest and Northwest regions, players could purchase Legend of Mir 2's game point cards. In addition to Li Ze's continuous investment in the promotion of Legend of Mir 2…
After half a month, the highest number of online users in the Legend of Mir 2 had once again reached 600,000. It was not far from the highest number of online users in the open beta, which was 700,000.
And the potential of the Legend of Mir 2 was obviously not completely exhausted. There were still new players entering the pit every day…
However, during this period of time, the Legend of Mir 2 had also come up with a lot of cheats.
Li Ze naturally massacred these cheats.
He would not show any mercy!
After all, the existence of these cheats was like digging into the roots of the game itself. Li Ze naturally would not allow them to exist.
With the Legend of Mir 2's development team in charge, and the company also having the complete source code of the Legend of Mir 2, it was a piece of cake to investigate and ban those cheats.
……
It was now year 01.
It was just after New Year's Day, and the money from the sales of Point Cards in the last week of December had already been transferred to the company's account.
Li Ze looked at the profit account of the Legend of Mir 2 last month and could not help but smile.
Since the beginning of the charging operation on December 1st, the Legend of Mir 2's net profit had reached more than 21 million!
Behind this shocking number was the fact that the highest number of online players in the Legend of Mir 2 had already exceeded 800,000.
In the past month, Shen Qianru had been extremely busy with recruiting the local developers.
They were active in various cities, negotiating with Internet cafes one by one to open up the sales channels for game cards. They also installed the Alliance network management system and the Legendary client in these Internet cafes.
" Looks like I can fulfill my promise to Little Dong to buy him an entire house on the outskirts of Shanghai…"
Li Ze smiled.
During this period of time, he had also learned about the housing prices in Shanghai.
In just a short year, the housing prices in Shanghai had risen to three to four thousand yuan per square meter.
As for the housing prices around the Bund, they had already reached more than 5,000.
"Oh right, I still have to find an opportunity to meet that 'Brony' from QQ and talk to him about investing. Oh, let's wait a few days. I'll make a trip to Peng City then.”
Li Ze muttered to himself. He had not forgotten about investing in Penguin Corporation.
He did not have any money before, but now, the company had more than ten million in its account. It should be enough to invest in Penguin Corporation.
The next day, Li Ze personally called Brony, who was chatting on QQ, and told him that he planned to go to Peng City in a few days.
However, he did not directly say that he was interested in investing in their company. He only said that he had something to do and could go to Peng City.
When Brony heard that, he immediately told Li Ze to let him know when he arrived in Pengcheng.
He could make the arrangements and personally welcome Li Ze.
They wanted to thank Li Ze for giving them the pop-up advertisement suggestion.
Ever since QQ had launched the pop-up window advertisement, QQ had received a lot of advertising collaborations in the past month.
Although they did not abuse the pop-up advertisements, they still made a lot of money.
It was already difficult to develop, and there was no way to raise funds. As the number of users increased, the pressure on the server also increased.
Therefore, when he heard that Li Ze was going to Pengcheng, Brony naturally had to thank him in person.
It was the weekend.
Li Ze didn't go to the office. Instead, he stayed at home to rest.
He planned to go to Peng City on Monday.
At this moment, Shen Qianru suddenly called.
He said that he wanted to report to him about the situation of the push team in various places during this period of time.
A few days ago, there was a problem with the bulldozer team in the northeast region. Shen Qianru rushed over personally to deal with it and only returned to Shanghai last night.
She had heard that Li Ze was going to Peng City on Monday, so she wanted to report the situation to him before he left.
Li Ze couldn't be bothered to go to the office, so he asked Shen Qianru to come to his house.
After about an hour, Shen Qianru finally arrived at Li Ze's house.
"President Li…"
"Okay, Little Shen, have a seat."
Li Ze greeted casually.
His son, Li Dong, probably heard the noise outside and walked out of the room curiously.
When he saw Shen Qianru, he couldn't help but say,""Dad, is this the Sister Shen that you usually talk about?”
"Sister Shen is so beautiful…"
Hearing Li Dong's praise, Shen Qianru immediately smiled happily. Pursing her lips, she looked at Li Dong and said,""President Li, this is your young master, right? You look so much like you!"
"Haha."
"Yes, this is my son, Li Dong." Li Ze smiled. You can just call him Little Dong."
Hearing this, Shen Qianru smiled and took out something from her bag. She smiled at Li Dong and said,""Little Dong, I'll just call you by your name.”
"Sister came in a hurry this time and didn't have time to specially prepare any gifts for you.”
"I happened to see this when I was shopping in the mall. I heard that this thing is quite popular overseas now, so I wanted to buy one for you as a greeting gift.”
"Little Shen, what is this?"
Li Ze asked curiously.
Li Dong took the gift from Shen Qianru and looked at it curiously.
Shen Qianru replied with a smile," Mr. Li, this is a music player. It's similar to a Walkman." However, the Walkman required a tape to listen to songs.”
"But this one can directly download songs from the Internet and replace the downloaded songs at will. It's very convenient!”
After listening to Shen Qianru's explanation, Li Ze did not take it seriously.
However, his son, Li Dong, was suddenly stunned. He carefully examined the music player in his hand again, and then a look of realization appeared on his face...
Isn't this an MP3 player? RioPMP300... Yes, this was the first well-known MP3 player in the early days.
Even Apple's iPhone came out later
Hmm…I remember that Apple's first iPhone was launched at the end of 2001. Once it was launched, it quickly became popular around the world and became synonymous with MP3 players.
Li Ze was stunned when he heard his son's thoughts. He secretly glanced at him.
Immediately after, Li Dong's inner voice sounded in his mind again.
