Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

How can I make some money quickly?

A horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth.

If you want to make money quickly, taking the normal route is definitely not an option.

Of course, what's recorded in the criminal law doesn't count either, even though the most lucrative ones are all listed there.

Go to Macau and take a gamble? He's not an expert in that area; he'd probably end up losing everything. Lu Yuan isn't that stupid.

How about starting a private lending project? Like student loans? Lu Yuanxin isn't that ruthless.

Go buy a lottery ticket? I wasn't even prepared for a rebirth, how would I remember the winning numbers?

Moreover, being reborn to buy lottery tickets is the most difficult thing to achieve, even if you memorize all the winning numbers.

Because lotteries are inherently a matter of probability and statistics.

After writing down all the winning numbers and spending a large sum of money on lottery tickets

The most likely outcome is that you won't win a single number, and all your money will go down the drain.

Believe it or not, quantum physics has already proven that buying lottery tickets is a bad idea.

What about the stock market?

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan wasn't a stock market investor in his previous life. He was certainly aware of several of the hottest unicorn companies in later generations, but making quick money was difficult.

This will encounter the same problem as buying lottery tickets.

For example, if you originally planned to buy a stock at a low price, but your large-scale purchases increased the confidence of other retail investors, causing the stock price to rise, you might not be able to buy the planned number of shares, resulting in a lower-than-expected return.

This led to a series of subsequent problems.

Just like the butterfly effect.

As a reborn person, is there absolutely no way to cheat?

Not necessarily.

In fact, as long as we try to minimize our role in this matter, that is, in this act of making money, or postpone the outcome as much as possible, we can reduce the occurrence and impact of the butterfly effect.

Therefore, in the stock market, for medium- to long-term investments, short-term investments should be handled by agents as much as possible, and you should make as few decisions as possible yourself.

Theoretically, it's worth a try.

Since I don't have any better ideas anyway, I might as well give it a try.

Being too hesitant and indecisive can cause you to miss out on many opportunities.

The strategy of prioritizing quality over sales volume in the mobile phone industry will not change, which will leave some surplus production capacity. We can try to make something of this.

By this point, Lu Yuan had sobered up considerably and was no longer in the mood to continue playing the game.

After all, it wasn't like when I had just turned 18 and computers were still a novelty.

I'm too tired to keep up with the late-night streams; I'd rather rest.

The sixth child is the youngest and the most obsessed with games. If he had been born a few years later, we might as well have sent him to an e-sports competition.

Lu Yuan got up, walked through the lobby, and went to the restroom.

Along the way, I peeked at the screen whenever we passed populated areas.

"I feel like something important is missing, like there's some issue I haven't thought of, something that's been overlooked."

"I should have drunk less. Drinking really does lead to trouble."

Lu Yuan mentally berated himself as he walked back.

I walked up behind the guy who was playing the stock market and took a look.

Yeah, it's still going strong, I don't know if I've made a profit or a loss yet.

Then look at this Miracle MU player next to him,

That's pretty fast; the boss battle is already over. This guy's guild is one of the strongest in the server.

It looks like they killed both the opposing faction players and the boss at the same time.

Suddenly!

A thought flashed through Lu Yuan's mind like lightning piercing the night sky.

Lu Yuan tried to grab it, but for some reason, he felt that he was just a little bit short, just a tiny bit short that he could have figured out on his own.

Lu Yuan's intuition told him that the key to breaking through the fog lay with the young man in front of him who had just finished a boss battle.

So I started chatting with the guy.

"Hey bro, what are you playing? The graphics look really good."

Indeed, the graphics of Miracle MU in 05 were among the best in the world of online games.

Seeing that the game he was playing was attracting passersby, the young man instantly became excited and began to introduce the game to Lu Yuan, as if he were proud of it.

"Great, you have good taste. I'm not bragging, but this is the game with the best graphics I've ever played. Want to give it a try?"

He was about to get up and offer his seat to Lu Yuan, hoping that after trying it out, he could also become a loyal player of Miracle MU.

"No, no! I'm just looking. Please, have a seat."

The young man sat back down in his seat, looking somewhat disappointed.

"You really don't want to give it a try?"

The young man, still not giving up, asked again...

"Let me check it out first. I've set up a machine over there. If it looks good, I'll create an account and try it out later."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Also, if you want to play, come to our server and join our guild."

I'm not bragging, but our guild is the strongest on the server. We weren't just that strong half an hour ago, but now we're number one. I'll bring you to our guild later; there are lots of people who can help you level up.

"The gaming environment in 05 was really good; it was incredibly beginner-friendly."

Thinking back to my past life in a certain MOBA mobile game, I was almost driven to the brink of shattering by my teammates' criticism because I miscast Diao Chan's ultimate skill.

Lu Yuan sighed inwardly, but maintained his curiosity on the surface.

"Then how did you manage to get to the top guild on the server in just 30 minutes?"

"This is thanks to the big update to the game last Thursday. The new version introduced a territory system. To obtain your first territory, you have to defeat the territory boss."

"See this boss's corpse? That's it. We took down it despite being harassed by other guilds. Don't you think we're the number one guild on the server?"

"You guys are really amazing!"

"Right? Go create an account, and I'll help you dominate the server."

The delivery guy still hasn't given up on recruiting new customers.

Lu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration

"Hey bro, which company made this game?"

"Which company? I really can't remember, but it was made by a company in South Korea."

Lu Yuan felt he was getting close.

"Who is the agent in China?"

"The agent? It's the Ninth City."

"Nine Cities? The Nine Cities from World of Warcraft!"

That's right, that's it. Ever since Lu Yuan entered the internet cafe, he's felt like something's missing.

Now I remember, I remember everything.

Internet cafes are now bustling with activity, but they're missing one truly blockbuster game.

That's World of Warcraft, which has been running normally for 20 years and still has a high level of activity. Even its initial version could easily outperform some games released by other developers 10 years later. It's the only ceiling in the MMORPG genre, the strictest father to all challengers, and a long-lived phenomenon in the online gaming world.

Lu Yuan had been dragged into playing this game by Lao Liu, but as soon as he entered the internet cafe, he noticed that nobody was playing it.

The groundbreaking performance of World of Warcraft can only mean one thing: the game has not yet been released in China.

"Yes, you know about this too. They signed the distribution rights for World of Warcraft last year, and I heard it cost a lot of money."

The young man shook his head as he spoke, which aroused Lu Yuan's curiosity.

"It seems you don't have a high opinion of World of Warcraft and are quite disappointed with The9's decision?"
