my return 2002

Chapter 61 Renting instead of buying.

In the next half month, Miracle MU's internal test was in full swing. With the deepening of the test, the evaluation of this game in the domestic player circle was getting higher and higher. Not to mention anything else, just Miracle MU 3D modeling is enough to beat the legend next door.

In terms of details, Miracle MU can also be said to be an epoch-making game. The light and shadow effects after entering the 60-level map Atlantis alone make many players feel like they are in a real fantasy world.

Moreover, compared to the legendary bad internal test server before, Miracle MU has limited the number of players, allowing players to obtain a good game experience, which also makes many players participating in the internal test become tap water and actively promote this game.

Just half a month of closed beta is not enough to satisfy the desires of the majority of players. Even in the last 10 minutes before closing the server, there are still a large number of players who are unwilling to go offline. Your manifesto.

In the office building in Ninetowns, as the server was shut down at the last second, all employees raised their arms and shouted, some excitedly embraced their colleagues, and some were so excited that they burst into tears.

Zhu Jun couldn’t help but feel a lot of emotion. Agent Miracle MU is undoubtedly a risky move. Once this game is not accepted by mainland players, Ninetowns will close down immediately. Fortunately, judging from the feedback from the internal beta players, he made the right move. .

Zhu Jun couldn't help but recall that when he first met Shen Lang, he once said that if he won the bet, Ninetowns would become the second Shanda, which made Zhu Jun's heart very hot.

A few days later, Zhu Jun specially invited the Fuhua Financial Venture Capital Department to the Ninetowns for a meeting, nominally to study the next step of the public beta, but in fact he just wanted to hear Shen Lang's opinion.

Jiang Yan was very conflicted about this. On the one hand, she was unwilling to let Shen Lang continue to contact Zhu Jun, for fear that he would be abducted. On the other hand, she had to admit that no one in the team except Shen Lang understood the Internet, let alone games. .

In the Ninetowns conference room, Zhu Jun first made a summary of the internal test situation, and then looked at Shen Lang eagerly.

"Manager Shen, we plan to launch a public beta after the National Day, do you have any ideas?"

Shen Lang thought for a moment and asked: "The scale of the public beta this time must be larger than that of the internal beta, otherwise it would be meaningless. I wonder if the company has sufficient funds?"

Not long ago, Shen Lang had closed all the copper futures contracts, and he had more than 800 million cash on hand. If he continued to speculate in copper futures, he could indeed make a fortune, but it was still too slow. If he could get more Some Ninetowns shares are naturally the best choice.

Zhu Jun is not stupid and naturally knows that Shen Lang is eyeing Ninetowns' shares, but now that there is feedback from the internal test, he will naturally not easily sell his shares again.

"If Manager Shen is willing to join Ninetowns, I am willing to transfer another 3% of the shares at the previous price."

Before Zhu Jun finished speaking, Jiang Yan became anxious. Is this a showdown with herself?Don't even want to pretend?Steal people directly in front of your face?

But after calming down, Jiang Yan couldn't help feeling a little panicked. Zhu Jun even took out the shares of Ninetowns. His sincerity is not lacking. Judging from Miracle MU's internal test performance, this game does have the momentum to hit the legend. In the future, Ninetowns The shares in the company will definitely rise, which is not something that she can compare with some housing subsidies.

However, Shen Lang shook his head and refused: "Mr. Zhu, I said that compared to managing a company, my strength is asset management. I still prefer my current job."

Zhu Jun did not give up and said: "Manager Shen, I believe you can see what the Miracle MU will bring to Ninetowns. You understand the Internet and games. Your arrival can make up for the lack of Ninetowns in the field of games. You can even You don’t need to manage specific affairs, just give me ideas, and I will give you the highest annual salary in the company.”

Xiao Cai on the side was moved for Shen Lang when he heard it. He has a high annual salary and shares. If he thinks he will kneel in the next second, right?
Jiang Yan could only stare at Zhu Jun angrily, but couldn't even say a word. She knew very well that Shen Lang was the only person present who was qualified to reject Zhu Jun!
"Mr. Zhu, let's put this topic on hold for now, let's talk about the miracle MU public beta." Shen Lang still shook his head and refused.

Helpless, Zhu Jun could only sigh regretfully, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems that my small temple still cannot accommodate the big Buddha of Manager Shen."

Jiang Yan was quite happy when she heard that Shen Lang rejected Zhu Jun, but when she heard Zhu Jun's words, she also felt drums in her heart. Ninetowns can't accommodate Shen Lang, can a small venture capital department do it?
Taking a breath, Zhu Jun brought the topic back: "Manager Shen, what do you think about the server problem?"

Shen Lang shrugged: "There are only two ways to add servers. You can either buy or rent. If you buy, you don't have enough funds. If you rent, the server performance will be lacking. My suggestion is to rent instead of buying."

Now that Zhu Jun has realized the value of shares in Ninetowns, Shen Lang gave up the idea of ​​continuing to buy shares, and naturally he will not allow Zhu Jun to introduce other investments. After all, financing is to dilute the shares, and shares in Ninetowns can't be sold now. Good prices, things that hurt others and benefit yourself must never be done.

"Oh? Why rent instead of buy?" Zhu Jun asked curiously.

Shen Lang smiled: "It's actually very simple. We can find a server manufacturer, negotiate a deal with them, and sign a contract to purchase their servers, but the payment will be made after three months. However, during these three months, we will Give them the rent at the price of the lease."

Zhu Jun's eyes brightened: "This method is good. You can get a new server without taking up too much money!"

Jiang Yan and Xiao Cai looked at Shen Lang with surprise, because according to Shen Lang's previous posture, he should want to continue to invest in Ninetowns, but after being rejected by Zhu Jun, he actually proposed such a perfect solution .

The interval between them was only two or three minutes, which meant that either Shen Lang had quick wits and came up with such a good idea in such a short period of time, or Shen Lang had already thought of an emergency plan before.

Xiao Cai looked at Shen Lang admiringly, and secretly made up her mind that she must study hard from him.

Jiang Yan was a little dazed, originally she thought she had a high opinion of Shen Lang's ability, but now it seems that she still underestimated.

However, Zhu Jun quickly raised a new question: "Is three months too short? If Miracle MU can't make any money within three months, what should I do?"

Shen Lang looked at Zhu Jun jokingly: "I have a way to make Miracle MU make money quickly, but I'm afraid Mr. Zhu will be scolded badly."

"Why are you afraid of being scolded? Have I been scolded less because of the activation code?" Zhu Jun waved his hands nonchalantly.

"That's not necessarily true. It is estimated that this time the players scolded much more harshly than the activation code." Shen Lang smiled slyly.
