Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 244 A Letter to Shengda Group
"Okay." Chen Yafang nodded, stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. I'm still a little uncomfortable with moving to the entrepreneurship base so suddenly."

In order to support the Alliance of External Relations Departments of Top 300 Universities, Handong University directly allocated a large office of square meters to Chen Yafang.

The specific affairs of the alliance are under the full responsibility of the External Relations Department of Handong University, while the affairs communication among the External Relations Departments of the top 100 universities is achieved through the group chat function of Momo Chat.

In order to enable them to use Momo to chat, Cheng Yi specially asked Li Xiang to arrange a truck to deliver more than 100 computers installed with the Momo system to the external relations departments of major universities one by one.

Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!
At this time, the layout of Tianqin Internet Cafe was also completed. They first announced in a high-profile manner that they would recycle Shengda legendary equipment and gold coins, and then directly lowered the Internet access price to fifty cents per hour. This feat immediately increased the attendance rate of Tianqin Internet Cafe from 30% to 50%. Soon, casual players and students who had little time and money returned to Tianqin Internet Cafe.

"Mr. Chen, our occupancy rate is around 50% right now, while Momo Group's is around 65%." Wu Lianju said, "But our internet access fee is cents, while Momo Group's is still keeping the original price."

"No rush. Shengda will start paying tomorrow. With the commission they give us, we can't really say we're losing money." Chen Zhi said, "Any news from Stone Age?"

"Stone Age didn't agree to our request for a commission on point cards," Wu Lianju said immediately. "They already have a point card channel in Jingzhou City, but they're willing to cover some of our promotion costs."

"Promotional expenses? Do I need that little bit of money?" Chen Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you make it clear to them? I want Guo Fucheng to come and help promote Stone Age."

Wu Lianju smiled bitterly and said, "Stone Age's user base is very stable now, and Stone Age occupies 70% of the national game market. They simply look down on our cooperation method."

"Can't they see the appeal of the current legend?" Chen Zhi shouted loudly: "They are all a bunch of idiots!"

"Damn it!" Chen Zhi slammed the table and said, "Stone Age only holds 20% of the market share in Jingzhou City right now. It won't be long before Legend cuts Stone Age's 70% share of the national market in half!"

Wu Lianju said: "I don't think so."

Chen Zhi looked at Wu Lianju with a puzzled look on his face.

Wu Lianju said, "Legend's audience is completely different from Stone Age's. Stone Age is a turn-based game, and players who are used to Stone Age are unlikely to play Legend. The reason Stone Age's market share in Jingzhou City has been suppressed to 20% is probably because of the equipment recycling function launched by Momo Internet Cafe."

"Young people these days are overjoyed to earn five yuan a day. Plus, the uncertainty of hunting for treasure in Legend games gives them the chance to get rich overnight. Plus, Shengda Legend and Momo Legend are free, which is why they've attracted a lot of Stone Age players. I think if Shengda Legend and Momo Legend become paid tomorrow, many Stone Age players will return to their old ways." Wu Lianju smiled and said, "As long as we remain constant in the face of change, we should be fine."

Chen Zhi nodded slowly and said, "Maybe you are right."

Wu Lianju said, "Mr. Chen, even if Stone Age doesn't give us a commission from the point cards, we can't stop promoting it. Once Stone Age players pick up again, we can fight a protracted war with Momo Legend. We have sufficient funds. As long as we can guarantee no losses, Momo Legend will withdraw from Jingzhou City within a year."

"Are you sure that Stone Age can recover?" Chen Zhi was a little skeptical. He had personally experienced Shengda Legend and Momo Legend. To be frank, even the slow-paced Shengda Legend could beat Stone Age in terms of experience.

Wu Lianju said confidently, "Even if it can't recover to 70% of its peak, 50% shouldn't be a problem. After all, Stone Age players have been playing for so long, they probably won't give up their original game accounts for a new paid game."

"What you said makes sense." Chen Zhi gradually believed what Wu Lianju said.

When it comes to gaming, he is indeed not as good as Wu Lianju.

Wu Lianju added, "My suggestion is to maintain the 40-cent hourly rate for a few days to see how Stone Age recovers. If it recovers to around %, we can gradually increase the internet fee to one yuan. After all, the disadvantage of Momo Internet Cafe is that you can't play Stone Age."

"Well, let's do as you say first." Chen Zhi followed Wu Lianju's advice.

After all, Wu Lianju is an expert in Internet cafe operations. In the field of Internet cafes, he is no match for a video game master like him.

Wu Lianju added, "Now that Legend has emerged as a dark horse in the RPG market, I think it won't be long before all these RPGs will be wiped out by Legend. We can change our thinking and only make turn-based games in internet cafes. I heard that Wangyi Company has just released a new game called 'Dahua Xiyou Online'. This game is better than the current Stone Age in terms of both its exquisiteness and gameplay. I think we should give it a try."

"Wangyi?" Chen Zhi frowned and said, "Wangyi was listed on the Nasdaq last year. I heard its market capitalization is over 40 billion. A few tens of millions invested in it won't go to waste."

"Net Art Company has just gone through a huge change, and its market value has shrunk tenfold. Moreover, their newly established game department mainly focuses on turn-based games, which is very suitable for the development of our Internet cafes," said Wu Lianju.

Chen Zhi hesitated again and again, then said, "Let's talk about this later. I think it's safer to cooperate with Shengda Legend. I always feel that the audience for turn-based games is very unstable."

Wu Lianju said, "That game, 'Westward Journey Online', is going to be open for testing next month. It has great reputation and gameplay. If we offer 3000 million, we should be able to acquire a significant stake. You should have noticed from this battle that future internet cafe competition will likely revolve around games. If we become a major shareholder in 'Westward Journey Online', which internet cafe could possibly compete with us? Isn't the reason this Momo internet cafe dares to challenge us because they're the agent for a Legend server?"

Wu Lianju finally convinced Chen Zhi. He nodded and said, "Okay, then go talk to the developer of Westward Journey Online first. Let me know when you have a result."

"Okay." Wu Lianju immediately left the office.

Chen Zhi sighed and slowly sat down in the boss chair.

For the first time in his life, he felt this sense of powerlessness, a feeling of powerlessness that could not be changed no matter how hard he tried.

Just as Wu Lianju said, Momo Internet Cafe, as the agent of Legend, has already established an invincible position in this battle.

Capital crushing only works when everyone's technology is on par. Now there is a gap in technology level between them and Momo Internet Cafe, which is the most fatal thing. It's like an arcade. One arcade has a coin pusher, while the other doesn't. The former can hardly compete with the latter.

Moreover, Wu Lianju's plan was obviously to switch from offense to defense.

Even if Wu Lianju's plan succeeds, the best they can do is to be on par with Momo Internet Cafe and jointly divide up the Internet cafe market in Jingzhou City.

But if that's the case, then why did he invest so much money in Jingzhou City? Just to burn money with Momo Internet Cafe?
Failure to take over the Internet cafe business in Jingzhou City means failure for Tianqin Group.

Chen Zhi's gaze gradually fell on the notebook in front of him, which recorded in detail the various settings of Momo Legend. His ultimate goal was to make Shengda pay attention to it and provide him with a version that could compete with Momo Internet Cafe.

So these days, he went to the Flying Tigers Internet Cafe almost every night and stayed up all night. He even became the second-in-command of the Flying Tigers, just to learn as much as possible about the Momo legend.

After finishing his work, Chen Zhi looked down at the time. It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and his brothers were still waiting for him to fight.

Chen Zhi changed his clothes and took a taxi to Feihu Internet Cafe with two bodyguards.

Ever since the last slapping incident, Chen Zhi no longer dared to go online alone.

His two bodyguards are both city-level Sanda champions and are also proficient in traditional boxing such as Bajiquan. It is easy for them to deal with a dozen thugs.

They were in the video game industry, where they'd have a minor fight every three days and a major fight every seven days. Their survival depended largely on the strength of their bodyguards. Not long after, Chen Zhi arrived at the Flying Tiger Internet Cafe.

"Brother Dao is here."

"Brother Dao, we've been waiting for you." As soon as they saw Chen Zhi walk into the Internet cafe, many people in the Internet cafe greeted him.

Chen Zhi subscribed to three computers at Feihu Internet Cafe on a monthly basis. Most of the time, they were played by proxy players during the day, and it was only at 9 o'clock in the evening that Chen Zhi logged in himself.

In order to fully understand the Momo Legend, Chen Zhi played in the Internet cafe for four hours every day, from 9 pm to am, then went back to sleep until am before starting to deal with the affairs of Tianqin Group.

Every day is very fulfilling.

"Brother Dao, why don't you sign up for a Momo chat? Our Flying Tigers have formed a group where we can communicate every day." The young man who had a good relationship with Chen Zhi said with a smile.

"What is a group?" Chen Zhi didn't understand.

"It's similar to a local chat room, but the group exists permanently, making it very suitable for exchanging tactics." The young man said with a smile.

"How to register?" Chen Zhi asked.

The young man said, "You can go to the Momo official website to register an account and log in. Momo chat is right on your desktop, just like logging into QQ."

Chen Zhi immediately logged into the official website. When he saw Momo’s official website, he was really shocked.

The level of sophistication of Momo's official website is no less than that of the three major portals.

Chen Zhi gradually realized that he didn't seem to be competing with an Internet cafe.

It’s just an Internet cafe, does it need such a high-end official website?
Chen Zhi carefully read the contents of the official website and became more and more shocked.

This is totally beyond the scope.

"Click here to register, here." The young man gave enthusiastic instructions, interrupting Chen Zhi's thoughts.

After Chen Zhi registered a Momo account, he logged into Momo Chat according to the young man's instructions.

Looking at the beautiful Momo chat interface, Chen Zhi fell silent again.

【Blood Drinker Mad Blade】joined the group chat.

【Welcome Brother Dao! 】

"Brother Dao, let's go to the third floor of the mine tonight to rob the corpse king. Someone dropped a half-moon scimitar today."

[With Brother Dao here, we feel at ease.]

As Chen Zhi joined the group, the group chat immediately became lively.

This Momo chat is much more advanced than QQ chat. It has a group chat function. Even guild members who are not in the same Internet cafe can communicate closely through group chat. This is a function that QQ chat does not have at all.

After killing monsters until after 11 o'clock in the evening, Chen Zhi still couldn't get back to his previous state. He was no longer in the mood to play games.

His mind is now full of Momo's official website and the content on it.

He vaguely realized how great the potential of Momo Group was, and also realized what kind of opponent he was fighting against.

"We absolutely cannot allow them to grow any further!" Chen Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "We must cut off their roots at all costs!"

From Internet cafes with membership systems, to operating systems, to online games, to chat tools, to computer assembly, putting this series of things together is enough to show how big Momo Group's ambition is.

And the most terrifying thing now is that only their Tianqin Group has discovered this.

Chen Zhi stood up and said to the power leveler, "Come and help me play. I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to go back and rest."

"Okay, Brother Dao."

Walking out of the Feihu Internet Cafe, Chen Zhi took a deep breath and murmured, "Shengda, Shengda, what kind of monster have you raised?"

In the early morning, Chen Zhi returned to the company and did not rest. He immediately began to write a letter to Shengda. He listed everything he knew in the letter and sent the letter to the mailbox of Shengda Vice President Luo Shenyi.

The next morning, Chen Zhi, who had not received a reply from Shengda, called Luo Shenyi directly.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Luo Shenyi said with a smile.

"Did you receive my letter?" Chen Zhi asked directly.

Luo Shenyi smiled and said, "I received it. I have submitted it to the board of directors. Our group has just raised 1.8 million yuan. The board of directors is very dynamic. It may take a few days for us to respond."

Chen Zhi said in a deep voice: "In a few days? Now the Momo Group can no longer be underestimated. Their Momo Legend has swept all the games in Jingzhou City, including your Shengda Legend!"

Luo Shenyi said calmly, "I really appreciate Mr. Chen's reminder. I've seen all of this in the letter. We'll analyze the specific situation. Furthermore, our contract with Momo Group is only for one year, and they're not allowed to set up their app on Windows computers. If they don't comply, we can simply cancel our cooperation next year."

"Mr. Chen, we deeply sympathize with your current situation, but now everyone in our group is really working around the clock. We really don't have the energy to set our sights on a small city like Jingzhou. I hope you can understand." Luo Shenyi said politely.
