The sky had turned dark.
It gradually dimmed.
A day passed slowly.
In Lu Ming's shop.
Although the illusion did not allow the use of energy, some people who cultivated their physique had already broken through 100 and started to set new records.
Fruit Ninja was originally prepared for these people.
Through their own efforts and cultivation, their reaction speed had improved tremendously. This made those who did not pass even more excited and crazily practiced.
Business was booming!
Lu Ming had spent a total of ten days creating cards and all of them were used up. There was not a single one left!
Amid some people's indignant expressions, Lu Ming announced that he was closing the shop.
"Boss, we will come again tomorrow."
"Boss, prepare more cards tomorrow."
The crowd gradually dispersed.
"Okay."
Lu Ming smiled.
After everyone left, he tabulated today's income.
Many people's first experience was only a few seconds or even more than ten seconds. They used the same card many times and had a total of one thousand and four hundred experiences!
Three hundred cards!
The income was as high as one hundred and forty thousand yuan!
After deducting the twenty thousand yuan cost, the net profit was as high as one hundred and twenty thousand yuan!
One hundred and twenty thousand yuan?
What did this mean?
He had paid off all the loans and still had twenty thousand yuan left!
Of course, he could not touch the twenty thousand yuan because he had to keep some of the card creation costs and the promised ten thousand yuan bonus for the marketing activities.
However, at the very least, he was not in debt.
"Little guy …
"I have helped you pay off the debt that you owe."
Lu Ming said to little Lu Ming secretly.
Whoosh —
A gust of wind blew past.
It was a little cold.
Lu Ming looked outside. It was already very late.
Most of the shops were closed and there were fewer pedestrians. It gave one a bleak feeling. However, Lu Ming knew that some things had just begun.
Was Fruit Ninja popular?
It was!
Especially now.
After those people went back, word of mouth spread. After a day of brewing, the popularity of Fruit Ninja would definitely explode tomorrow!
It would be far more terrifying than today!
This was a profit of tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions!
No one would give up.
Especially those smart guys on this street and in this neighborhood.
"Will anyone come?"
Lu Ming was looking forward to it.
Outside the door, a round figure squeezed in.
It was actually Zhang Xiaopang!
"Brother Lu, I'm here."
Zhang Xiaopang was overjoyed.
"Why is it you?"
Lu Ming's expression was somewhat ugly.
"Why can't it be me?"
Zhang Xiaopang glared at him. "Let me tell you, Brother Lu, someone came looking for me today! One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand for the illusion construction method of your Fruit Ninja! "
"Someone is looking for you?"
Lu Ming's heart trembled.
If these people looked for Zhang Xiaopang, they probably wouldn't look for him.
"Of course."
Zhang Xiaopang said proudly, "I, Zhang Xiaopang, have finally made a name for myself. However, am I, Zhang Xiaopang, that kind of person? One hundred thousand? There was no room for discussion! Even if I'm short on money, I won't betray my friends! "
Then.
He saw Lu Ming's expression as if he was looking at an idiot.
"What happened?"
Zhang Xiaopang was somewhat dumbstruck.
"Are you a fool?"
Lu Ming was in pain. "If he wants to buy it, then sell it to him!"
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiaopang was dumbstruck. "This … isn't this your secret recipe?"
"It's the secret recipe."
Lu Ming spread his hands. "However, the structure of Fruit Ninja is so simple. How long do you think it will take for those who have played Fruit Ninja before to come up with one?"
Zhang Xiaopang was stupefied.
How long could it take?
Three hours?
Four hours?
He would die from overeating.
Even if those people's description was incorrect, they could easily find two more people to come up with it.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhang Xiaopang wailed.
One hundred thousand!
That was one hundred thousand!
It was enough for him to go to the spa many times!
It was heartbreaking.
"I didn't expect you to be so stupid …"
Lu Ming saw Zhang Xiaopang's resentful gaze and hurriedly corrected himself. "Cough, cough. I didn't expect Zhang Xiaopang to be so righteous!"
"I don't think it's a big deal."
"Look, although I lost one hundred thousand, I know that you, Zhang Xiaopang, are affectionate and righteous. In the future, I will have a lot of better cards for you to create. I feel that I have profited."
Lu Ming patted his shoulder.
He really felt that way.
Initially, he was just an ordinary friend with Zhang Xiaopang. He really didn't expect Zhang Xiaopang to be so righteous! One hundred thousand yuan was worth it!
"I still feel that I have suffered a loss."
Zhang Xiaopang sighed.
"This is my mistake."
Lu Ming thought for a moment. "I thought they would look for me."
"Look for you?"
Zhang Xiaopang could not understand.
"After all, I am the creator of Fruit Ninja."
Lu Ming found it strange. "Logically speaking, shouldn't the boss of Ye Zi's chain store and Zhang Chun look for me to buy the card? I will sell it for one hundred thousand yuan! "
That was a huge sum of money!
"That's true."
Zhang Xiaopang also found it strange.
Logically speaking, they had already contacted him for one hundred thousand yuan. Why didn't they contact Lu Ming?
"I might know why."
Lu Ming suddenly thought of something.
How much was his net profit today?
One hundred and twenty thousand yuan!
What did this mean?
The Fruit Ninja Card was a chicken that could lay golden eggs!
The daily net profit was one hundred and twenty thousand yuan. This was Lu Ming's small shop. If it was a big shop, how much would it earn? Obviously, it would be an astronomical figure!
In that case, how much would it cost to buy this card?
One hundred thousand yuan?
How was that possible?!
He could earn that amount in a day!
Then …
One million yuan?
That was not very likely. It would take eight to nine days at most.
Therefore, if he wanted to buy this card, he might need to spend more than ten million yuan or even a sky-high price! What about making a copy of a similar card?
He did not need to spend much money at all!
One hundred thousand yuan was enough!
Given this comparison, who would look for Lu Ming?
"I can't believe it."
Zhang Xiaopang was dumbstruck after hearing that.
The two of them glanced at each other. Both of them had a bitter and hateful expression. That was money!
"It's okay. Anyway, you will create other cards in the future."
Zhang Xiaopang comforted him.
"I can only do so."
Lu Ming sighed.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he still felt unhappy.
It was within his expectations that the Fruit Ninja would be pirated. He was already prepared. Therefore, he created three hundred cards within ten days. He wanted to sell them all at once!
However, he could not even get a single cent of the copyright fees from those guys. This made him unhappy.
"This won't do.
I still feel unhappy. "
Lu Ming scrolled through his contact list and found the contact number of Ye Zi's chain store. He immediately dialed the number. "I am the founder of Fruit Ninja. I am looking for your boss."
"Uh."
The other party paused for a moment. "Hold on."
After a long while …
A deep middle-aged man's voice could be heard. "Hello, what's the matter?"
"Hello, Boss Qian."
Lu Ming took a deep breath. "I want to sell you the design plan and concept of the Fruit Ninja card, as well as the creative ideas."
"We don't need it."
Qian Shengcai was very straightforward.
"Why?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Because we have already created it earlier."
There was a trace of a smile at the corners of Qian Shengcai's lips. "You are indeed creative to be able to create this kind of thing. However, these things will lose their value once they are seen."
"…"
Lu Ming was silent for a moment. "Well, what about the original authorization? Although pirated copies are everywhere, you can say that this is the founder's and the original authorization! Furthermore, I have some better ideas to perfect this card and provide a better experience for everyone. "
"No one will care."
Qian Shengcai rejected.
"Alright."
Lu Ming felt very regretful. "It seems that there is no chance for us to cooperate. Since you have already created it, may I ask how much did you spend to create it?"
"Five hundred thousand yuan!"
Qian Shengcai felt somewhat smug.
He wanted to sell it to them at a sky-high price?
No way.
It would be fine if it was a high-level card with high technology content. However, this was merely a low-level ordinary card. There was no encryption and the content was so simple. How could it be sold at a high price?
He spent five hundred thousand yuan mainly because of the time difference!
The Fruit Ninja required a first-mover advantage! Therefore, he spent a high price to buy the relevant information from a few people. He also spent a high price to hire a Card Creator and an Illusionist to create it.
"But …"
Lu Ming paused for a moment. "I am only selling it at fifty thousand yuan."
"Huh?"
Qian Shengcai was dumbstruck.
Five …
Fifty thousand yuan?!
He was dumbstruck.
He hung up the phone in a daze. He had not come to his senses. Fifty thousand yuan? You are actually selling a card that can generate more than a hundred thousand yuan of profit for only fifty thousand yuan?
Are you sick in the mind?!
Is there something wrong with your brain?
If he had known that this would happen, he would have bought it directly from him. Why did he have to go through so much trouble?
Huh?
He had spent a hundred thousand yuan to look for that Zhang Xiaopang but that guy did not agree!
What the hell was this?!
Qian Shengcai was flustered. Although he had already submitted the application to the main store, he was too anxious and could not complete the process. He had spent his own money on this five hundred thousand yuan!
It was too much of a loss!
At this very moment …
In Lu Ming's shop.
"Awesome!"
Lu Ming hung up the phone and felt refreshed.
Not only did he call Qian Shengcai, but he also called Zhang Chun and the owners of the bigger shops nearby. He was very honest with them. He would really sell it for tens of thousands of yuan!
However …
Why would those people who spent a lot of money to create a counterfeit would waste their money to buy it?
Therefore, Lu Ming had a good time selling the cards at one go. He quoted extremely low prices of ten thousand yuan and twenty thousand yuan to each of them.
"Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for them?"
Zhang Xiaopang was speechless.
Since they had already created the card, obviously they would not buy it. You offered an extremely low price purely to make these bosses feel uncomfortable.
"Haha."
Lu Ming smiled. "You have to know that under normal circumstances, our happiness is built on other people's pain, especially those who have a conflict with you. If they are unhappy, I will naturally feel happy."
Zhang Xiaopang was speechless.
He suddenly felt that it was better not to provoke Lu Ming in the future.
This guy had bad values!
"It seems that the counterfeits will be rampant tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaopang sighed.
Since these shops had already produced the Fruit Ninja, they should be rushing to create the cards now. By tomorrow morning, the few shops nearby should have the cards.
He was afraid that the popularity of the Fruit Ninja would really explode!
Furthermore …
Zhang Xiaopang was well aware of his own standards. It was too low and too simple. Any Illusionist would be able to create better cards than him. Furthermore, the Card Creator that they chose was also very outstanding. The cost of creating the cards would be lower!
They had no room for competition!
They did not even have the right to participate in the 'Fruit Battle' tomorrow!
"There is no hurry."
Lu Ming was calm at this moment.
As a programmer, he was very clear that many small companies in his previous life could only close down because of plagiarism of their ideas and products …
This was a very familiar scene!
"We'll see what happens tomorrow.
If you don't let me earn money, then don't blame me for being rude. "
Lu Ming said calmly.
Zhang Xiaopang suddenly felt somewhat frightened.
This guy …
What was he up to again?
