Chapter 16 Comprehensive crushing
Li Mu slept until after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, but he only slept for less than six hours. Because his mind was thinking about the Stone Overlord, his sleep quality was not good.
When he woke up, his parents had already gone to work, so Li Mu planned to call Zhao Kang and go to the Internet cafe to see the current spread of the Stone Overlord.
Before the release of the Stone Overlord, he specially registered a new QQ number, left the number on the plug-in, and indicated that business cooperation, please contact him. He couldn't wait to know if anyone would contact him.
As soon as I walked into the living room, the phone rang.
It's Zhao Kang.
Like Li Mu, he didn't sleep well.
Although he didn't understand technology and didn't know much about plug-ins, he worked hard in front of the computer overnight last night, feeling what Li Mu meant by naval army, feeling the trap design of self-question and self-answer, and feeling the magical and subtle power.
He also wanted to go to the Internet cafe to see what kind of feedback will be received from netizens when the results of their labor will be received by netizens.
The two agreed on the phone to meet at the entrance of the community, and then headed straight for the big spider.
The number of clicks for the first post has reached 80,000, and the number of attachments downloads: 54,301 times, and 9,791 replies.
Not to mention Zhao Kang, even Li Mu was confused.
Zhao Kang excitedly counted the download volume of several forums. In just twelve hours, the download volume had reached about 120,000 times.
Free good things can really burst out with extremely powerful cohesion in this era of scarcity, bringing these netizens together. They downloaded free plug-ins and couldn't wait to use them. They still didn't forget to come back and post thanks, and they wouldn't forget to recommend good things to their friends and netizens in the game.
Li Mu thought about it carefully. The wax-free plug-in of the legendary wax-free plug-in was just a single weak chicken function, which was popularized by almost all legendary players in a short period of time. This era is really the diamond era of the Internet. Anyone planting a seed online will have the opportunity to grow into a towering tree!
...
In a residential house in Zhongguancun, Yanjing, seven or eight young people were already sweating in a hurry.
These people are all the teams of Abe's plug-in.
They were formed by the merger of two plug-in teams Abei and Qianyu. At the beginning, the two companies also played like Rotten Li. Qianyu first released a paid version of plug-in. When Abei's plug-in people saw Qianyu making money, they immediately developed a similar plug-in, which impacted the market with free use, which made Qianyu's group of people very bad. In the end, the two groups decided to merge in order to make money together.
In the past few months of the merger, they have basically monopolized the plug-in market of "Stone Age" and have indeed made considerable profits. Their income from settlement in June exceeded 200,000.
Originally, they decided to take advantage of the summer vacation boom in July to earn 300,000 yuan, and have begun to reorganize their sales teams, preparing to bypass provincial agents and take root directly into the retail terminal. But just when they were in high spirits, a developer of a plug-in team accidentally saw a post posted by Zhao Kang last night.
At first, the developer sneered and downloaded the trial version of Stone Overlord. After simple use, he immediately fell into an ice cave, and went from scalp to the soles of his feet.
Then, the entire team was stunned by this plug-in that suddenly appeared.
Abei's plug-in person also acted as a disruptor. He caught Qianyu's people off guard with the free trial version, just like a scoundrel, throwing them to Qianyu two choices: either don't make money or make money together.
Qianyu finally compromised. The appearance of this kind of disruptor is like a desperate desperate outlaw. They have never made money, so there is nothing to lose. But Qianyu is different. They have tasted the sweetness and must not give up.
Unexpectedly, someone has now used a similar method to come out again to disrupt the situation.
The worst thing is that this Stone Overlord has too powerful functions, far exceeding Abe plug-in, and it is much more convenient and smoother to use than Abe plug-in.
This feeling is like "Xu Ri Yang Gang" preparing to hold a ticketing concert somewhere with "Spring" as a gimmick. Wang Feng himself came over and had a show in the city at the same time, but Wang Feng was still fucking free.
Bullying people, it's no fucking to play!
The person in charge after the merger of the two teams was Sun Peng. He was the founder of Qianyu in the past. After Abei came out to disrupt the situation, he incorporated Abei's people, which was equivalent to distributing the rice in the pot to Abei's people. However, because Abei's plug-in attracted a lot of popularity when it was free, everyone decided to just Abei's plug-in.
Sun Peng thought that when the two teams merged, there should be no competitors in the market that were really good enough, but what the hell is this stone overlord who suddenly emerged?
Since the morning, Sun Peng's mobile phone has never stopped.
In this era when mobile phones charge for two-way charges and it costs a few cents a minute to answer calls, Sun Peng's heart was bleeding.
And every call is called by your own agent.
Agents are generally divided into provinces. Abe plug-in finds an agent in each province, and he is responsible for the expansion of Internet cafes in various cities and counties in the province. Abe plug-in sales terminals are countless Internet cafes below.
Now, many people who bought Abei plug-in in Internet cafes come to the Internet cafe to ask for a refund. The reason is very simple, it is too scammed! After just a few days of buying it, something much better than this was posted online, and it is even free. Who can bear it?
Although customers who request a refund are a bit unreasonable, this kind of thing is indeed easy to make people indignate. Users who spend money have no place to vent their anger and cannot find Sun Peng and the others, so they can only go to the Internet cafe that sells them to plug-ins.
The owner of an Internet cafe sells plug-ins just a side job. The real main business is the netizens who come to the door every day. If he offended these people, what should he do about the business?
Therefore, the Internet cafe owner immediately asked an agent to protest. The agent could not withstand so much pressure from Internet cafes, so he asked Sun Peng to apply for a refund to users who had not yet expired.
Some agents even gave Sun Peng a seemingly fair refund plan, which is 15 yuan a month, and it is 50 cents a day. How many days left in the customer's account will be returned to the user with 50 cents a day of cash.
Sun Peng really wanted to refuse, but he couldn't refuse because his marketing model is very unhealthy now and what he said doesn't count at all.
He is responsible for plug-in development, the issuance of monthly activation codes, and the activation codes are distributed to provincial agents, and provincial agents are then distributed to major Internet cafes below.
Since the sales terminal has been sinking all the way to the Internet cafe, and selling plug-ins in the Internet cafe is just a side job, and it is not willing to pay in advance to the superior agent, so the plug-in capital flow model and the order of issuance of activation codes are just reversed.
The funds start to be collected from the Internet cafe and settled for the agent once a month. After the agent receives the payment from the Internet cafe, he will pay Sun Peng monthly. For every activation code sold, the Internet cafe owner must guarantee a profit of four yuan. Otherwise, an Internet cafe will be sold for dozens or 100 yuan a month. If the money is too little, it is too lazy to worry about this. If you want to sell, record, and remit money to the superior agent, you can earn three or four hundred yuan a month, which is just enough to get a salary of an Internet administrator.
After all, there are only a few dozen machines in an Internet cafe. How much passenger flow can you get in a month? Moreover, among these passenger flows, some are specially for chatting, some are specially for playing stand-alone games, and a small number of people play the Stone Age, and only a small number of people spend money to buy plug-ins.
In this way, each activation code is deducted by the provincial agent, and the provincial agent has to deduct three more yuan. The reason is that the provincial agent is not worry-free. Internet cafes send people to run one by one, which is not low and it is laborious.
After exploiting each piece, Sun Peng only had eight yuan left. There was still a lot of money in this eight yuan. The rent, equipment, server and other expenses had to be included. Several technicians had a monthly salary of several thousand yuan, and the cost of this part alone was 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. There were also food, drink, and defecation of these people.
There were two people in the team and Sun Peng's core personnel who held the shares, and they were all divided according to proportion. After a month, he had not much left.
Looking back at the dealer's request to refund the customer, even if Sun Peng doesn't agree, it's useless. The money he sold this month is in the hands of the Internet cafe. The Internet cafe directly refused to hand over the money this month, and even a provincial agent had no choice.
Sun Peng gritted his teeth in anger: "Okay, the refund is OK, but the account after the refund must be summarized to us. Let's seal it together!"
The distributor ignored his trick at all, and they also realized very smartly that the popularity of this stone tool overlord may have destroyed Abei's plug-in in a moment, and it seems that there will be no chance to cooperate in the future.
After answering the phone calls for more than an hour, Sun Peng's face turned green, and the seven or eight people in the studio were also depressed. These were all technical personnel who had learned some programming, but to be honest, the technology was very average. They could tell at a glance how big the gap between them and the other party was, just like the special effects team of the online drama "Grave Robbers" who saw the special effects of the Hollywood super blockbuster, and had a self-knowledge.
"Boss, what should I do?"
In this guerrilla-like team, Sun Peng plays the role of the boss, and the distributor is in his hands, and everyone has to rely on him to make money.
Sun Peng's face looked extremely ugly: "The distributor has a strong attitude and insists on giving back the user. It seems that we can't pay back the money in July at all."
"That's more than 100,000!" They calculated the sales volume. In addition to the distributors, there were also layers of profits that were running for sales. The profits they earned in this studio were already over 100,000, and they were almost unable to get them back...
