Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 348 Chen Tianqiao's Worries
"Alright... just think of me as someone who's done too many bad things and wants to go to the temple to burn incense," Cheng Yi sighed. "But I genuinely want to do this."

Cheng Yi took out the USB drive and handed it to Lin Shengjie, saying, "This is all my ideas."

Lin Shengjie took the USB drive and glanced back at Gao Lifu.

Cheng Yi often has some wildly imaginative ideas, which makes them completely baffled as to what this kid is thinking.

"Give it to me." Gao Lifu reached out and took the USB drive.

He plugged the USB drive into the computer and quickly read the files on it.

Gao Lifu entered the education industry after graduating from university, and he is definitely an expert in the field.

He understood Cheng Yi's plan after only reading it once.

He looked at Cheng Yi and asked curiously, "What are you trying to achieve? There's no money in these impoverished mountain areas. Don't expect to build a school and collect tuition fees."

"Do I look like someone who's short of tuition fees?" Cheng Yi laughed. "I'm a major shareholder of Renren.com now, and the commission from merchants alone is enough to make me live a comfortable life."

"That's true." Gao Lifu smiled and said, "Alright, I approve your proposal."

Gao Lifu said to Lin Shengjie, "Go to the primary and secondary schools affiliated with Han University and ask them to select a few renowned teachers."

"Okay." Lin Shengjie nodded.

Gao Lifu then said to Cheng Yi, "You should record the lessons around the schedules of those renowned teachers, so as not to interfere with their regular teaching."

"Understood." Cheng Yi stood up and smiled, "Thank you, Principal Gao."

Gao Lifu laughed and scolded, "Your thanks are too cheap. You should say less of that in the future. Alright, if you have nothing else to do, go back now. I haven't finished revising this document yet."

Before Cheng Yi could say anything, Gao Lifu waved his hand and said, "Assistant Lin, go and see them off."

"Okay." Lin Shengjie immediately ushered Cheng Yi out of Gao Lifu's office.

As soon as he left the office, Lin Shengjie lowered his voice and said, "Cheng Yi, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"I'm making my own talisman." Cheng Yi smiled brightly: "Our campus network technology is about to expand nationwide, and I'll feel uneasy if I don't have a talisman."

"Amulet?" Lin Shengjie didn't understand what Cheng Yi meant.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "It's just an identity."

"You should try your best to become the student council president. That position alone will give you the power to do whatever you want," Lin Shengjie said.

"I'm sure I can become the student council president, but just being the student council president isn't enough," Cheng Yi said with a smile. "I want an identity that can protect Momo Internet Cafe."

Lin Shengjie fell silent.

Could it protect the identity of Momo Internet Cafe?
Even Gao Lifu wouldn't dare say he could protect Momo Internet Cafe. After all, internet cafes are different from other industries; if something really goes wrong with them, it'll be a huge disaster.

Lin Shengjie said, "Alright, you must have your reasons. I'll go and take care of things at the affiliated primary and secondary schools for you. I'll send you the contact information of those famous teachers, and you can contact them yourself."

"Teacher Lin, you've worked hard." Cheng Yi laughed heartily.

Cheng Yi ate a quick meal and then hurried to the startup base.

The entire second floor of the startup base now belongs to Xiaonei.com, which also houses three of its subsidiaries.

Ji Yubing and Chen Yafang didn't think much of it, but for Lin Shengdong, setting up the company at Handong University was an absolute feat worthy of being recorded in the family tree.

You have to remember both the high and low parts on the first half of the page.

Half of the senior interns from Handong University that Chen Yafang recruited ended up working for the campus network company.

All three subsidiaries of Xiaonei.com require a large number of staff, to the point that they need as many as possible.

The first step in promoting the campus network is to complete the 1225 plan.

Once the 1225 plan is implemented, there are countless opportunities for Xiaonei.com to grow. The bigger Xiaonei.com becomes, the more dazzling its glorious and magnificent image will be.

At that time, his glorious image will stand in stark contrast to that of Du Yusheng, the internet cafe owner.

The afterglow of the bright sunlight would also shine on Du Yusheng, so that he would not be too cold even in the cold winter.

Just as Cheng Yi arrived at the campus network company to formulate procedures, Chen Tianqiao was holding a meeting with senior executives of the marketing department at Shengda Group in Zhonghai City.

During this period, the game progressed at an increasingly rapid pace, with the number of players increasing almost exponentially.

The popularity of the Legend also spurred the rapid development of the internet cafe industry.

Chen Tianqiao was quite satisfied with the answer submitted by the marketing department. The only drawback was the lack of a guarantee company for Momo virtual items within the Momo Group.

Chen Tianqiao now has two painful issues in his heart.

The first pain point is the abuse he receives from parents all over the country, and the second pain point is the Momo Group.

In fact, the latter bothered him more than the former.

For the sake of just over 200 million, he lost a huge market in Handong Province. Just thinking about how Momo Legend had over 20 online users makes Chen Tianqiao's heart ache and keeps him awake at night.

Yes, Momo Group did not violate the contract, it only opened Momo Legend in its internet cafes, but they never said they would open so many internet cafes.
There's a feeling now that we've raised a tiger that will eventually become our problem.

Chen Tianqiao could tolerate losing the market in Handong Province, but what on earth is this Momo Virtual Props Guarantee Company?

This company is practically a maggot crawling all over them.

The more I think about it, the more disgusting it becomes.

Chen Tianqiao looked around at the six senior marketing executives in front of him and said, "I'm sure you've all heard of this Momo virtual item trading website, right?"

All six marketing executives nodded, and Luo Shengyi, who was in charge, said with concern, "This company has been developing very rapidly recently. Their revenue model is very novel, but it is very effective. As a result, the number of our players has also surged. However, what I am worried about is that this company is not under our control, which is absolutely unacceptable."

Chen Tianqiao nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "The reason I summoned you here today is to ask if you have any good solutions."

Chen Tianqiao looked directly at Luo Shengyi and said, "The Momo Group has already devoured our game market in Handong Province, and now they're directly touching us. This is something I cannot tolerate."

Sensing Chen Tianqiao's reproachful gaze, Luo Shengyi said with a look of shame, "President Chen, I have carefully studied this company, and I think we can completely replicate their experience."

"Oh?" Chen Tianqiao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Tell me about it."

Luo Shengyi is a top student majoring in marketing and has a lot to say about it. This is also why Chen Tianqiao has never pursued Luo Shengyi's responsibility, after all, Luo Shengyi is the culprit who caused them to lose the Handong Province market.

Eager to prove himself, Luo Shengyi immediately said, "The model of this guarantee company is simply to set up a point in each city and then help players conduct cross-regional guarantee transactions."

"My first solution is to establish an official item trading center, where we will hire staff to provide escrow services," Luo Shengyi said with a smile. "From the players' perspective, do they trust us more, or the Momo Group more?"

Chen Tianqiao frowned slightly and said, "This is not appropriate. It would require too many people and would not achieve the same instant settlement effect as Momo Guarantee Company."

Many senior marketing executives nodded slowly, also feeling that this approach wouldn't work.

To provide a guarantee service across all game servers, you would need to hire at least several hundred people. Leaving aside how to calculate the salaries of these hundreds of people, the average order value and commission sharing alone would be staggering.

This would require at least several dozen financial experts to accomplish.

“I have a second idea,” Luo Shengyi said. “We have partnered with internet cafes all over the country. We can treat these internet cafes as our outlets and provide guarantees for players. In this way, we can realize the function of item guarantee and solve a series of unnecessary troubles. At most, we can be considered an intermediary company.”

Chen Tianqiao frowned and said, "I had thought of this method before, but if we did that, it would be very difficult for us to make money from it."

Luo Shengyi said, "President Chen, I think the most urgent task is to suppress the arrogance of Momo Group. Chen Hui of Lianjiang Group contacted me some time ago and talked to me about Momo Group."

"What did he say?" Chen Tianqiao raised an eyebrow.

Lianjiang Group occupies half of the internet cafe industry in the south, and Chen Hui's Wangyuan Communication Group, as the operator of three major internet cafe chain licenses, is already a dominant force in the internet cafe industry.

The two major internet cafe brands under the Wangyuan Communications Group are both well-known names, and their cooperation with Shengda Group has been very pleasant.

Luo Shengyi said, "Chen Hui said that Momo Group has very big ambitions, and that we are raising a tiger to cause trouble."

Raising a tiger can be a dangerous thing...

Chen Tianqiao's heart involuntarily clenched.

That's spot on!

Luo Shengyi said, "Chen Hui suggested that we try our best to come up with practical and effective restriction measures to prevent Momo Group from leaving Handong Province."

"How much longer do we have left to give him the authorization?" Chen Tianqiao asked.

Luo Shengyi said, "There are still five months left."

“Five months…” Chen Tianqiao said, “During these five months, we can’t push them too hard, lest they become desperate and leak the source code to us.”

Luo Shengyi exclaimed in surprise, "They shouldn't dare to do that, right? Our contract clearly states that if the source code is leaked, they will have to compensate us for huge losses."

Chen Tianqiao said coldly, "It's always better to be careful. You can try the second method, but don't do it on a large scale. Test it on a small scale first. If it works, then you can promote it on a large scale."

"Okay." Luo Shengyi smiled and said, "I will definitely do my best."

"Well, I trust you to get things done." Chen Tianqiao reassured Luo Shengyi first, then added, "You should spend more time with Chen Hui. If Momo Internet Cafe really dares to expand to other provinces on a large scale, we'll help Chen Hui out."

"Then Chen Hui will probably be laughing in his sleep." Luo Shengyi's words made everyone present laugh.

Now that Shengda has established its power, it has no rivals in the gaming industry. This sense of pride fills the depths of everyone's heart.

Their current mindset is like that of a superior giver.

They felt mostly angry about Momo Group, but they didn't care about its strength.

Just as a tiger wouldn't care about a fox.

The size and the difference between the two are too great.

Once their five-month contract expires, they will witness the decline of Momo Group.

After the meeting, Luo Shengyi immediately selected a number of internet cafes to begin internal testing.

He admitted that while Cheng Yi's idea for a virtual item trading website was good, it was not a new concept in the global gaming industry, and that game item websites were doing quite well overseas.

Luo Shengyi first called several internet cafe owners and explained what he was about to do to them.

Regardless of whether they could understand or not, the internet cafe owners all kept saying "no problem," which greatly improved their impression of Luo Shengyi.

Seeing that the internet cafe owners agreed so readily, Luo Shengyi was also very happy. He didn't think there was anything difficult about this virtual item trading website. The biggest difficulty was simply the setup and promotion of regional agents.

Regional agents are guaranteed by partner internet cafes, and promotion is guaranteed by their legendary game.

Creating a virtual item trading website is a piece of cake, isn't it?

Luo Shengyi only played for three days before selecting more than 4,000 partner internet cafes, choosing two partner internet cafes in each district and county.

After that, he posted an announcement on the Legend Forum about the trial operation of the Legend Equipment Trading Section.

The moment this announcement was released, the Legend Forum went viral.

Game companies have actually released escrow transaction systems? This is a godsend for players!

Luo Shenyi's approach was to set up a guarantee section on the forum, where players could post their own listings for sale. As long as a buyer was interested, both parties could agree on a city and conduct the transaction at a nearby internet cafe.

The transaction model is similar to Momo's escrow service: the buyer pays at an internet cafe in city A, and the seller receives payment and ships the goods at an internet cafe in city B.

The revenue collected in city A will be distributed to internet cafes in city B during the point card revenue sharing process.

Aside from the increased volume of financial statistics, Luo Shenyi has not yet identified any other potential risks.

At that moment, Cheng Yi, who was teaching Lin Qingyin massage techniques in the finance department office, received a call from Shi Lei: "Brother Yi, something terrible has happened."

"Shi Lei, you're a department head, can't you keep your composure when things happen?" Cheng Yi scolded him, clearly dissatisfied.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Shi Lei realized he had lost his composure and quickly composed himself, saying, "Boss, Shengda Group has set up an item guarantee section on the Legend Forum and is promoting it heavily. If they get ahead, won't our company be doomed?"

"This is nothing," Cheng Yi laughed. "We'll have to wait until they develop further."

Cheng Yi's composure gradually calmed Shi Lei down as well.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "I have analyzed all of their methods. Without external competition or interference, the probability of success is about 12%."
