After signing the agreement with Xiangjiang Yingke Digital to transfer Penguin Corporation's shares, Li Ze rushed back to Shanghai the next day to raise funds.
April 2nd.
Li Ze came to Zerun Technology.
"President Lin, how are the sales of the company's two MP3 players these few days?”
Li Ze had been rushing to Pengcheng for the past few days, so he was not very clear about the current sales of MP3s. Now that he was back, he immediately asked.
"Director Li, so far, the total sales of the two MP3 players have reached more than 14,700 units." Lin Yue quickly replied.”
"In addition to the 3,900 units sold on the day of launch, 4,300 units were sold on the 29th, which is Sunday.”
"The next three days should be working days, so the sales have dropped a lot. The daily sales are basically maintained at around 2,000.”
"Among the current 14,700 units sold, the Z1 model only accounts for about 15%. The specific data is that 2,186 units were sold.”
"The sales of the 256M version of the D1 model is about 30% higher than the sales of the 128M version.”
"So, since the two MP3 players were officially launched, the total revenue has reached more than 22 million, and the profit is about 6.5 million..."
Li Ze nodded in satisfaction after hearing the data reported by Lin Yue.
In less than a week, they had sold nearly 15,000 units and made a profit of 6.5 million. This was a very good result.
Although it couldn't compare to Legend of Mir 2, and there was a high chance that the sales would decline, he could still earn 20 million in a month.
Li Ze said,"Let's take the company's profits first…How about six million? Take six million out. I need it urgently."”
"The remaining payment should be enough to pay the supplier next week.”
The payment for the materials was due next week, so Li Ze couldn't use up all the funds in Zerun Technology's account.
"Okay, President Li."
Lin Yue quickly responded, but she didn't ask Li Ze what he needed to do with the money.
Then, Li Ze asked about Zerun Technology's cooperation with Legend Games to launch the Z1 and D1 players.
Lin Yue had already communicated with Shen Qianru over the past few days and had already asked the factory to customize a new batch of co-branded packaging.
They were just waiting for Legend Games to officially announce the "World's First Martial Arts Conference" event, as well as the news of collaborating with Zerun Technology to launch a co-branded MP3 player. Then, they could distribute the two newly packaged players to ten directly operated stores.
After understanding the situation, Li Ze asked Lin Yue to contact the bank to discuss the loan.
Then, Li Ze went downstairs and went to Legend of Mir 2.
Similarly, he asked Shen Qianru how much money she could allocate.
The total amount of money in Legend of Mir 2's account was more than 42 million, and Li Ze immediately transferred all of it.
After all, Legend of Mir 2's funds flowed back quickly. Even if Li Ze transferred all the funds in his account, it wouldn't be long before the cards sold from all over the world would be transferred back to his account.
It would not affect the normal operation of the Legend of Mir 2.
With 4,200 yuan from Legend Games, 6 million yuan from Zerun Technology, and 4 million yuan from Hero Cyber Cafe, the total was 52 million yuan.
It was only about 30 million dollars away from the 9.72 million USD that he needed to pay Xiangjiang Yingke Digital.
Two days later.
Li Ze met with the four major banks and the Shanghai Commercial Bank.
In the end, he chose to borrow 30 million from Shanghai Commercial Bank.
Although the other party said that they could provide more loans, Li Ze did not take them.
This time, the main purpose of his loan was to acquire Penguin Corporation's shares, but other than that, the companies under his name did not have any financial pressure.
Legends could earn tens of millions of yuan every month.
The internet cafe company also did not need any capital investment, and its own profits were enough to maintain its daily operations and expansion.
As for Zerun Technology, they didn't need to invest too much money to expand their development.
The price of the Z1 and D1 MP3 players was decided. At least for now, based on the domestic income and consumption level, only the provincial capitals and the second-tier cities would have a certain market.
Therefore, Li Ze was not in a hurry to open new stores in other cities.
Even in the other provincial capitals that did not have a direct store, Li, Li Ze planned to slowly expand there instead of expanding his business too much.
Moreover, D1 was directly handed over to the factory for production, so naturally, there was not much capital demand.
Moreover, after a while, the Legend of Mir 2 would be able to make a huge profit again. Therefore, Li Ze did not need to borrow too much money.
After all, the interest of a business loan was not low.
After successfully getting a loan of 30 million Chinese dollars from Shanghai Commercial Bank, Li Ze paid the money directly to Pacific Century Digital.
He had completely completed the acquisition of the 18% shares of Penguin Corporation.
…
April 6th.
The Legend of Mir 2's official website suddenly released a piece of news that excited all the Legend of Mir 2 players.
The Legend of Mir 2 would be hosting an event on July 10th called "The World's Number One Martial Arts Conference." At that time, all players who had reached Level 40 could sign up to participate.
Players who signed up would be eligible to log into the competition server…
The content of this announcement was basically the same as what Shen Qianru had reported to Li Ze that day.
In addition to the announcement on the official website, every player who logged into the game also received the announcement.
When the players saw the contents of the announcement, almost everyone became excited.
"F * ck! The Legend of Mir 2 was going to hold the world's number one martial arts conference! In the end, the top three players would actually be able to obtain the rewards of the three divine artifacts that had not yet officially come online!”
"Not only the top three, as long as you can rank in the top 100, you can obtain equipment, skill books, and other rewards. Moreover, they could also participate in the offline 'Night of Legends' event organized by the officials. The officials would reimburse the travel expenses and even cover food and lodging.”
"The official announcement also said that this legendary night will invite some celebrities to perform live. F * ck, this is too awesome! Not only were there rewards, but they could also participate in offline activities for free and meet celebrities!”
"Hurry up and go to the official website to see the information about the three divine artifacts. The attributes of the Dragon Slaying Saber, Heavenly Sword, and Heavenly Staff were simply too awesome! His style is even more handsome!"
"If I can carry a Dragon Slaying Saber to kill monsters and kill people, it would be too awesome!”
"However, I actually have to reach level 40 to be qualified to participate in this World's First Martial Arts Conference! No, I have to work hard during this period of time. I have to level up to level 40 before July 10th and obtain the right to participate!”
When
the news of the World's First Martial Arts Conference was announced, all the Legendary players were in an uproar.
Many forums, including the Legend of Mir 2's official website, were filled with excited discussions
…
Legend Games 'official website released another announcement, announcing that they had reached a partnership with Zerun Technology and would be launching the Z1 and D1MP3 music players.
Moreover, every famous MP3 player had a card with a lottery code. Players could enter the code into the 'Lottery' function at the bottom right corner of the game after the game update on the morning of April 7th. The
announcement also listed the various equipment, items, skill books, and other rewards that they had the chance to draw.
In addition, under the announcement, the addresses of all ten direct stores of Zerun Technology were listed…
Once this announcement was released, it immediately caused a heated discussion among the players.
"By the way, who knows what the Z1 and D1MP3 music players in the new announcement on the Legendary official website are? How much is one?"
"Previous poster, didn't they clearly say that it was a music player? Why are you asking what it is? Of course, the music player is used to play music!
Also, don't you know that digital music in MP3 format is available online now?
These two players were, of course, used to play digital music in the MP3 format. Simply put, you could download music in MP3 format from the Internet and play it on the player. It was similar to a Walkman.”
"F * ck! I saw the shops listed under the official website of Legend of Mir 2. There is no shop in Hanzhong City!”
"Hehe, I'm in Hang City. I just took a look and saw that they have a shop in Hang City. If it wasn't too expensive, he could buy one to test his luck and see if he could draw a Moon in the Well or something like that!”
"The person above is a tycoon! As far as I know, the price of this Z1 player from Zerun Technology is 2699 yuan per unit! Even the D1 player with 128M memory cost 1199 yuan!”
"F * ck, is that true? This thing is actually so expensive? 2,000 yuan for one?"
"It's alright. After all, this is an MP3 player. Also, that Z1 is really good. I went to buy one with my girlfriend a few days ago.
It was a little expensive, but the workmanship, materials, and sound quality were quite good. The key was that it was beautiful, light, and small. The capacity was also very large. It could directly download thousands of songs without a problem. "
My wife dragged me to buy an MP3 player from Zerun Technology two days ago, but we bought the D1 model with 256M memory. In fact, I feel that the price of the first version is still good, and the price of the second version is only 1399.
Now that Legend had collaborated with Zerun Technology to launch a joint product, if they happened to need an MP3 player or if their family needed one, it would not be a bad idea to buy one.”
"That's true!"
The
two consecutive announcements in the Legend of Mir 2 not only ignited the enthusiasm of many Legend of Mir 2 players to level up.
At the same time, the two MP3 players from Zerun Technology also entered the eyes of many legendary players.
The most direct reaction was that on the same day, Zerun Technology's direct sales stores in Shanghai, Jingdu, Hangzhou, and other ten cities welcomed many customers who specifically inquired about and bought Legendary Games 'co-branded MP3s.
When these customers found out that the co-branded MP3 player was only one yuan more expensive than the regular MP3 player, many of them immediately bought one without thinking.
Other than that, the owners of countless internet cafes all over the world also realized that their business seemed to be much better than before.
Moreover, there were obviously more people playing Legend of Mir 2 in the internet cafe than before.
Even if it was late at night, the number of people who stayed up all night was at least 30 to 40% more than usual!
Many internet cafe owners also knew that all of this was because the Legend of Mir 2 was holding the World's Number One Martial Arts Conference, which made their business much better.
These internet cafe owners only hoped that the Legend of Mir 2 would hold more such events in the future, so that they could follow them and have a taste of the soup…
League of Legends Internet Cafe Shanghai Pu Dong Branch.
"Old Liu, Old Zhao, log into the game quickly!”
Wei Dongcheng, along with his classmates, Zhao Kun and Liu He, rushed into the internet café and immediately found a row of computers. They turned on the computers, opened the Legend client, and logged into their accounts…all in one go!
"Damn it, I didn't expect the Legend of Mir 2 officials to organize the World's First Martial Arts Conference. Moreover, the top three can actually obtain the next version's three divine items as a reward. F * ck, the attributes of the three divine items exposed by the officials are simply awesome!”
Zhao Kun shouted excitedly.
"Isn't that so? Especially that Dragon Slaying Saber, it was simply too eye-catching! If I can get that Dragon Slaying Sword, I'll slash at anyone who's unhappy in the game. Let's see who dares to babble!”
Liu He was also excited.
It was as if he could already see himself carrying the Dragon Slaying Saber and killing everyone in the area. It was an extremely eye-catching scene
…If we can't reach level 40 before July 10th, we won't even be qualified to register for the world's number one martial arts convention, let alone the three divine artifacts and the dragon slayer!”
Wei Dongcheng urged.
"Heh, that's true! "However, if we can really make it into the top three, no, even if it's just the top 100, it'll be good.
At the very least, he could obtain other equipment and skill books as rewards, and he could also participate in the Legend of Legends 'Night event organized by the Legend of Legends officials for free.”
Zhao Kun was full of longing.
"Yeah, I wonder what kind of celebrities will be invited to perform by the Legend of Mir 2. It would be great if we can invite Jaylon!”
Liu He echoed.
"Even though Jellen is good, I love Sister Zhen more! If the Legend of Mir 2 official website can really invite Sister Zhen to participate in the Legend of Mir 2's performance, I'll definitely buy one if there are tickets for sale!”
Wei Dongcheng said.
Wei Dongcheng and the other two were talking nonsense as they fought monsters to level up.
Unknowingly, it was already past three o'clock in the morning. Zhao Kun suddenly shouted,"F * ck, I'm running out of time on my Point Card. Wait for me, I'll go buy a Point Card!"”
Wei Dongcheng glanced at him and said,""Last time, I told you to buy a monthly card with us, but you didn't listen. Now, you have to buy a card again!”
"Hurry up and buy it. Remember to buy a monthly card. Although it's 15 yuan more expensive, we'll definitely be online for a long time in the next three months. Buying a monthly card is definitely more cost-effective than a 35-point card!”
"Got it!"
Zhao Kun responded impatiently and immediately stood up to go to the counter of the Internet cafe to buy a card…
Similar scenes were happening in countless Internet cafes of all sizes.
Many internet cafes noticed that the monthly card sales of the Legend of Mir 2 had improved.
Many people who used to buy a 35 yuan point card switched to a monthly card.
As for the 10-yuan card, not many people bought it. After all, the 10-yuan card was not worth it.
