   Chapter 621 Two Future Investments

The people who came here today, not to mention that they are used to eating delicacies of mountains and seas, but they are not much different. The yellow braised chicken is naturally not a delicacy, but it has some characteristics, especially the ones provided on the second floor. cooked.

Empty eating, Lu Dong asked Song Na to greet him and went down for a walk, because before the opening, he had done enough publicity in other Lu's restaurants, as well as around the university town, and organized some activities, specially invited Liu Yiwei to come over. When the ribbon was cut, the people on the first floor of the store were basically full, and the small casserole was served, and the aroma of chicken wafted around.

   There are employees at the entrance of the store asking for feedback from customers, and those who are willing to say a few words after the meal, as well as small gifts.

   The managers of the ten stores are all experienced employees from other stores of Lu's Catering.

   Lu Dong asked Gao Ming a few words, went out to take a breath, and found that Wang Dong came down from the second floor, obviously looking for him.

   "Brother Wang, is something wrong?" Lu Dong asked, standing in the shade of a tree.

  Wang Dong scratched his cheek with his missing right index finger and said, "It doesn't matter, I just want to talk to you about the company in Jiucun."

The last time Lv's Catering invested in Jiu Village and got 10% of the shares in Jiu Village, Wang Dong, who knew about online games, followed the past to assist in the negotiation and also invested in Jiu Village. He said to Lu Dong, "Nine Villages. The game of the village agent, called "Miracle", has been released to the public beta."

   Lv Dong has been busy with the trilogy recently. He just heard Xu Man mention it, but didn't ask in detail: "How is this game? Compared to "Legend"?"

   "The public beta is currently underway, and it is estimated that charges will start next month." Wang Dong lit a cigarette: "As far as the public beta is concerned, it is not as popular as the grand "Legend"."

   He thought for a while, and then said: "I asked people to do statistics in all Internet cafes. Since "Miracle" began its public beta, the most played game in Internet cafes is "Legend", and the second is "Miracle"."

  Lu Dong nodded: "This game from Jiucun seems to be quite popular."

Wang Dong said: "It depends on the fees, and if the fees can still retain players, it will be considered a success. However, there are few games on the market now, and there are not many options. I also contacted Jiucun and got it. "Miracle" point card agent in Taidong."

   Lu Dong asked curiously: "Is it a lot of money for the point card agent?"

Although Lu's Catering is rarely asked, 8:00 Online is a joint-stock company, Wang Dong said in general: "I negotiated with Shanda and opened four groups in Taidong District just after the new year. The server is very popular, and after the New Year, I have finally come down here, there is a profit of several million points, and the top Internet cafes themselves have made money."

   Lu Dong encouraged: "If you have the opportunity, get a few more agents."

"I'm discussing with Shanda and Jiucun. "Legend" will open the second Taidong District, and "Miracle" will open Taidong District as soon as possible." Wang Dong came into contact with the world of online games and gradually had some ideas. : "We have a large population in Taidong Province, one of the best in the country, and our economic conditions are generally good. These are the foundations that are conducive to the development of online games."

When he said it, he continued: "When the May Day holiday is over, I am going to go to the magic capital again, and the possibility of reaching a cooperation is very high. The four sets of servers in the Taidong region of "Legend" are set up at 8:00 Online, also Daily maintenance done online at 8:00."

   Lu Dong is not surprising. I heard Wang Dong say this before. In order to reduce operating costs in the early stage, Shanda cooperated with many large Internet cafes and set up some partition servers directly at the agents.

   This is also affected by the current network hardware conditions. The overall bandwidth is here. In addition, the pattern of South Telecom and North Netcom is already clear, so the server is still relatively limited.

   The players in Taidong area are mainly Taidong and surrounding provinces. The service bureau is set up in Quannan, which can be very convenient.

Wang Dong's words continued: "I strive to have the servers in Taidong District 2 of "Legend" and Taidong District of "Miracle" all set up on our 8 o'clock online side, relying on these two online game companies, 8 o'clock Online, you can accumulate some experience in online game operation and server maintenance, and you can learn a lot..."

  Lu Dong understood what Wang Dong meant: "Do you want to be a game agent?"

"There is such an idea." Wang Dong put out the cigarette, threw it into the trash can not far away, and said, "I used to be a billiard room game hall, and I just wanted to monopolize the market in the county town. Later, I met you, let's When the two jointly opened an Internet cafe, they thought of a market as big as a university town, with more than 100,000 to 200,000 students, as well as a larger number of young office workers and migrant workers, occupying this market would be enough for a lifetime.”

Most people's eyes only see the area in front of them, but Wang Dong actually sees farther than many people: "Lu Dong, seeing your company has developed, it has become the leader of catering in our province, I feel that for the rest of my life, They are all hanging out in the Internet cafes in the university town?"

With his left hand, he touched the index finger with a broken section of his right hand: "Last year, you first cooperated with Shanda. Then, you asked me to help you discuss Jiucun investment. I also invested in Jiucun. I saw a bigger world of online entertainment. , the online game is very promising!"

  Lu Dong understands that people's thoughts are not static, they all change with the environment and personal experiences. At first, Wang Dong may just want to be the boss of the game room in the county town, but the bigger the business is, the more ideas will inevitably become more and more.

  Wang Dong looked at Lu Dong and said, "I just thought, after 8 o'clock online, I can also represent an online game."

  Lu Dong nodded slightly: "You have to pay attention to cultivating relevant teams from now on. The industry is seeing little competition right now. The success of "Legend" is here. It won't be long before many companies will flock to it."

   "The initial investment in this industry is quite high." Wang Dong said: "You will have a lot of support then."

  Lu Dong thought about it and said, "If you like any game, remember to tell me."

   In the past two years, besides "Legend" and "Miracle", what other famous online games?

   The most memorable one is "World of Warcraft" a few years later.

   The impression of some stalks is still clear.

   "Orcs will never be slaves unless they are covered with food."

   "Azu, times have changed, there are a hundred Jackie Chan outside!"

   After thinking about it, apart from World of Warcraft, Lu Dong couldn't think of any other games for a while.

   After a while, I have some relevant memories.

   It seems that Zhuzi's "Journey" was in the same period as Warcraft. I remember seeing people playing in Internet cafes. It was a real krypton gold game.

  The TV is full of Melatonin advertisements. I wonder if Zhuzi has transformed into the game industry?

   By the way, which company developed "Journey"? Could it be that Zhuzi's own company made it?

   Lu Dong said a few words to Wang Dong. He had limited understanding of "Journey", and the name of the game was not easy to mention. He could only briefly talk about it and let him inquire in the game circle.

   Go back to the store and go up to the second floor to continue eating.

   After dinner, some people like Wang Dong said goodbye and left. Wei Yong, Mu Kun, Wang Gang, and Ding Qing simply followed Lu Dong and Song Na to Lu Dong's office, drinking tea and chatting.

During the period of    passing by the Sanlian Real Estate Building, Wei Yong glanced at the people who were busy moving, and asked Lu Dong: "When will you move here?"

   Lu Dong glanced at the large characters of "Sanlian Real Estate" that had been demolished, and said, "It's not completely settled yet, keep calm."

Mu Kun replied: "Zhang Tao is a man of decisiveness. When he gambled on real estate, he put all his chips on the table, and he didn't even save his way. Now that the gamble fails, he immediately abandons the commander and protects his soldiers, and protects the interests of their Zhang family first. "

   Wei Yong said, "It's Sanlian, not the Zhang family. Their Zhang family is still the richest man that Quannan can count."

   Wang Gang urged: "Don't talk about this, let's go to Lu Dong's to discuss things."

   Came to Lu Dong's office, Xue Tian asked someone to make tea and bring it over, Song Na ordered, closed the office door, and filled the tea with water herself.

Wei Yong, the oldest among these people, said, "Lu Dong, when we came here today, we discussed something, the Taifeng Garden land will soon be transferred from Sanlian to Dongwang and Weiqiao. Here, you know this land better than we do, and we don’t have to say about the location, location, and facilities. We plan to invest in a real estate company to develop this land together.”

   He looked at Lu Dong: "How about it, are you interested in investing?"

   Lu Dong asked: "Are you planning to develop it yourself? The new company doesn't even have the qualifications."

   Wei Yong said with a smile: "Just buy a qualified company. Every day there are real estate companies that fail, and it is not difficult to buy qualified ones."

  Lu Dong thought for a while: "I don't know much about this area, and I haven't had a deep understanding of it, but real estate development requires someone who knows how to operate it."

  Wang Gang smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm just working on this. I worked at Vanke for a while, but my family insisted on taking me back, so I came back from the south."

  Mu Kun said: "I plan to buy a share. I have communicated with Wang Gang. This guy has real talents and real learning, and we can recruit professionals."

  Wei Yong added: "Let's try it on Taifeng Garden first, okay, in the early stage, the main focus is on the surrounding area of ​​Quannan Heping City. Not to mention that there will be no disadvantages, at least no one will bother us casually."

   Lu Dong nodded: "At least there is a relatively level playing field."

   "Okay! It's a share of Lu's Catering." He thought about it for a while, and then gave a definitive reply: "Let's talk about it first, I'm only responsible for investing and getting dividends.

   Such investment is completely separated from the main business of the company. With the current strength and operating income of Lu's Catering, even if the project fails, it will not have much impact on the company's existing business.

  The main business will definitely be catering for a certain period of time, so the scale of investment should be controlled.

  This group of people finalizes the intention of cooperation, and the specific investment ratio and investment method are handed over to the following people to discuss.

  The new company is independent from all the companies of Dongwang and Weiqiao. It is mainly invested by Weiqiao and Dongwang, each accounting for 30% of the shares. Of the remaining 40%, Lu's Catering and Mu Kun each account for 20%.

   At the end, Lu Dong said: "In a few days, I have a party about Tibetan mastiffs here, please come over and join us when you have time."
