"Sis, are you really going to work for Ling Yi?"
Late at night, in the east wing, Yin Qingyan, unable to sleep while lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), asked Yin Qinghong a question.
"Hmm!" At this moment, Yin Qinghong's mind was filled with the future planning document that Ling Yi had shown her.
So he gave a very perfunctory reply.
"That's great! Then you won't have to travel so far to work anymore, and we can see each other every day!" Yin Qingyan said happily.
Yin Qinghong shook her head. "Not in a short time. I need to go back to Nanzhu City first to take care of things at the company there."
"I still need to visit at least thirty more cities!"
"Huh? We have to go out and run around again?"
Ling Yi's original plan was simply to mail the 09 Potion along with an instruction manual to the major pharmaceutical companies.
However, Yin Qinghong rejected Ling Yi's approach.
One reason is that it takes too much time. These days, mail delivery is very slow; a round trip would waste almost half a month.
Another one, that's too unsafe.
The value of the 09 Potion was too high, and Yin Qinghong was not at ease unless she delivered it herself.
Ling Yi initially felt it was unnecessary; it would only take a little time, and he wouldn't mind spending a couple more months.
However, Yin Qinghong felt that handing over the 09 Potion directly to these pharmaceutical factories would be a real waste of time.
After obtaining the 09 Potion, these pharmaceutical companies probably won't immediately seek cooperation with Ling Yi, but will likely first work on cracking it.
This process could take a very long time, possibly six months to a year.
If these pharmaceutical companies collude with each other during this process, it will cause even more trouble.
Yin Qinghong will only let them verify the effects of the 09 Potion, but will not leave the 09 Potion for them.
Not only that, but we also need to give them the false impression that they are very worried that the 09 Potion will be cracked.
Ling Yi didn't understand why Yin Qinghong did that at the time.
In Ling Yi's view, since the formula was going to be sold anyway, once someone bought the formula, that was it.
Why make it so complicated?
Yin Qinghong's reply was, "Who said I'm going to sell to one company? I'm going to auction the formula first, then the 09 Potion. Believe me, these nine bottles of 09 Potion can fetch an astronomical price!"
Ling Yi instantly understood Yin Qinghong's purpose in doing this, and Ling Yi was extremely shocked.
Ling Yi had only one thought at that moment: Damn, I've struck gold!
What is professionalism? This is professionalism, damn it.
Now, Yin Qinghong finds Ling Yi's expression back then amusing.
Ling Yi is indeed a prodigy, but when it comes to business acumen, he's a complete Little White.
Another thing is that Yin Qinghong needs an operations team.
Coincidentally, among the group of subordinates she brought with her original company, there were several good people who were both of good character and ability, and Yin Qinghong planned to poach them.
If Yin Qinghong's former boss knew this news, he would probably cry himself to death in the bathroom.
Our top salesperson is leaving; that alone is enough to make me cry.
So not only are you leaving, but you're also trying to poach several people? Wouldn't that doom the company?
Ling Yi has already handed over the information on various domestic pharmaceutical factories that Xiaowei No. 3 collected to Yin Qinghong.
As for the 09 Potion, Ling Yi had 9 portions left, which he handed over to her all at once.
Yin Qinghong left early the next morning.
As for whether Yin Qinghong would cause trouble, Ling Yi hadn't even considered it.
If Yin Qinghong is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, Ling Yi will have plenty of ways to deal with her in the future.
Moreover, Yin Qingyan was right next to Ling Yi.
After that, Ling Yi didn't cause any more trouble.
I attend classes during the day and "learn" all kinds of knowledge through Baidu) at night.
After being "taught a lesson" by Yin Qinghong, Ling Yi realized that there was still a lot he needed to "learn".
At Dragon City Internet Cafe, the Three Kingdoms Online game, under Shen Bin's arrangement, began to be gradually promoted to the outside world.
Currently, online payment systems are not yet available, so the prepaid card system is still in use.
However, both Ling Yi and Shen Bin underestimated the speed at which this game could spread.
In just half a month, the number of concurrent online players in Three Kingdoms Online exceeded 100,000.
Yes, 100,000!
During this period, Ling Yi and Shen Bin did almost nothing.
It achieved this effect simply through word of mouth.
This is also the reason why the 97 All-Net website was officially launched.
During the National Day holiday, many young people who had gone out to work returned to Hanyun Town. After the holiday, it was these people who promoted Three Kingdoms Online to internet cafes in other cities.
Simply open the 97 All-Net, and you can download the Dragon City Software Dragon City Software from the game section. Once downloaded, you can install Three Kingdoms Online in your internet cafe.
Any internet cafe owner with a brain can see the true value of this game.
The method for topping up the game cards is also very simple.
The internet cafe version of Dragon City Software includes a process for obtaining a bank account and purchasing random game cards.
Transfer funds to the designated bank and provide the transfer record. Then, Xiaowei No. 5 will automatically generate the corresponding number of random surname codes.
In just half a month, the revenue from game cards alone exceeded two million.
" Ling Yi, I've never admired anyone in my life, but you, I truly, damn well admire you!"
October 25, 1997, Saturday, noon.
Zhao Wen, Ling Yi, Shen Bin, Lin Yuya, and Yin Qingyan are eating.
At Shen Bin's suggestion, Ling Yi opened a few bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
Unexpectedly, this kid's alcohol tolerance wasn't great; after just two ounces of baijiu, he was in this state.
"Two million in half a month! I never even dreamed I could earn that much money. From now on, you're my brother, my real brother."
"Hehe, Brother Bin, you're four years older than Ling Yi!" Lin Yuya laughed.
"So what? What's that saying again? 'The accomplished are teachers, 'Ling Yi, this is 'the accomplished are brothers!'"
"Okay, you can create idioms," Ling Yi laughed.
" Shen Bin, merge Dragon City Internet Cafe into the company!" Ling Yi suddenly said.
" Ling Yi, I'll listen to you!" Shen Bin said, his tongue thick with slur.
In reality, the two million was transferred from the company's accounts, not Dragon City Internet Cafe's accounts.
After all, this game doesn't belong to Dragon City Internet Cafe.
In other words, this two million actually has little to do with Shen Bin.
Ling Yi and Shen Bin's collaboration was limited to the Dragon City Internet Cafe.
If Ling Yi were a shrewd businessman, he would have kicked Shen Bin out right now.
But Ling Yi couldn't do such a thing.
Moreover, during this period, Shen Bin was indeed the one who was busy with the game.
Moreover, Ling Yi could also see that although Shen Bin might lack a certain vision, his character was still acceptable.
Ling Yi's decision to merge Dragon City Internet Cafe into the company was essentially a way of mentoring Shen Bin.
Regardless, Ling Yi's initial success was also due to Dragon City Internet Cafe and Shen Bin.
"I will give you 10% of the profits from the game Three Kingdoms Online, and from now on, you will be fully responsible for its operation."
Shen Bin looked at Ling Yi, and, having regained some composure, asked, " Ling Yi, ten percent, are you sure?"
At this moment, Yin Qingyan, who was standing next to her, said, "Based on the current game revenue, the monthly profit will exceed Wu Bai in a month, and will multiply several times, or even more than ten times, in a year."
"That's two or three hundred million a year, and ten percent of that is twenty or thirty million."
Yin Qingyan wasn't showing off her math skills, but rather reminding Ling Yi that this was no Little Qian.
Lin Yuya and Zhao Wen, who were standing nearby, instantly understood what Yin Qingyan meant.
Shen Bin, on the other hand, sobered up considerably in an instant.
" Shen Bin deserves all of this!" Ling Yi said.
Ling Yi's thinking was simple: he couldn't focus on games every day, after all, he had too many other things to do.
Shen Bin is doing alright as a tool so far, so let's just keep doing it.
But Shen Bin was unaware of Ling Yi's true thoughts; Ling Yi's simple statement, " Shen Bin deserves all this," deeply moved him.
He picked up his glass and shouted, "Brother, it's all in the drink, I'll drink mine, you can drink as you like!"
Then, with a slurp, he downed the glass of baijiu.
This guy wasn't a good drinker to begin with; two ounces was already too much for him. After four ounces, he started to get dizzy and then collapsed onto the sofa.
"Your alcohol tolerance is terrible, you need to work on it!" Ling Yi laughed.
Zhao Wen sighed, "Over twenty million, just like that, you gave it away. You're really generous."
Thinking about my monthly salary of a few hundred yuan, I suddenly feel like I'm living a somewhat unsuccessful life.
Look at Ling Yi, he's only in his first year of high school. What will he be like in the future? I can't even imagine.
"Oh, by the way, I have a gift for you." Ling Yi said, taking out a box.
Inside the box were six mobile phones.
Although Ling Yi has a bio-smartphone, that thing is too technologically advanced and can't be used casually in front of people.
It's so annoying that I have to go to a secluded place every time I make or receive a phone call.
Since we're going to buy them anyway, let's just each buy one.
"One phone per person, the number is on the back of the PHS phone!"
Lin Yuya and Yin Qingyan were overjoyed. Without thinking too much, they each grabbed a device and started fiddling with it, forgetting even to eat.
"I can't accept this!" Zhao Wen shook her head. This thing cost as much as two months' salary for them; it was too expensive.
" Old Zhao, it's only natural for an apprentice to be filial to his the Final Master. Don't be so pretentious."
"A disciple showing filial piety to his the Final Master? I like hearing that. Alright, I'll accept it."
These days, the concept of the Final Master and apprentice is long gone. Teacher is just a profession, no longer a seniority.
But Ling Yi's acknowledgment of him as his the Final Master was a sign of respect, something Old Zhao could sense.
Zhao Wen took a sip of her drink and then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"Study hard and make progress every day!" Ling Yi said with a smile.
"Nonsense, have you ever studied properly?" Zhao Wen said speechlessly.
"What I mean is, in the time ahead, I will try my best to accumulate various kinds of knowledge and refine myself."
This is Ling Yi's true thought.
Now that the basic foundation has been established, all that remains is the process of accumulating funds.
Ling Yi's mindset has also changed somewhat.
When he was first Revive, all he could think about was how to change the world and how to make his Revive more valuable.
However, some things should not be rushed.
Just like 223 Energy Technology and biochip technology, it's impossible to decipher the technology without sufficient knowledge accumulation.
As for taking out the finished product directly? Ling Yi didn't want to do that.
Moreover, now that he has been Revive, he wants to truly experience life.
Family, love, friendship, a return to youth, and the scenery around us.
He plans to start doing big things after he finishes university.
In the time that followed, all he needed to do was secretly make his plans.
For example, Ling Yi has already purchased 10,000 033 Hive Drone, each equipped with 2,000 Hive.
Ling Yi also secretly launched 20 of the accompanying Heavenly Eye Satellite.
Of these, 500 Type 033 Drone have already been deployed to accompany Yin Qinghong for protection.
Yin Qinghong's arrangements are complete, and the 09 Potion Auction will officially begin at the end of the month.
Ling Yi was worried that some people might resort to underhanded tactics.
500 Type 033 tanks, plus a Hive, are enough to protect Yin Qinghong.
In addition to Yin Qinghong, Qin Yunlai and Jin Guangming each had 200 drones and corresponding Hive deployed around them.
Just as Ling Yi had guessed, Qin Yunlai and Jin Guangming's progress was very slow.
Or rather, there was simply no progress.
After learning the value of those two hard drives, some people wanted to Taozi.
