At night …
Qiao Liang opened Aili Island and glanced at the latest video for Products of the Gods. He realized that passionate gamers had already pushed the video to first place in the gaming area and third place in the entire website.
At this rate, he believed that it would not be a dream for this video to reach first place in the entire website by tomorrow.
Satisfied, Qiao Liang opened the video and looked at the comments section. He could feel the fans' bootlicking and was very satisfied.
Look, what was a first-tier UP Master?
A first-tier UP Master could casually upload a video, and it would be ranked on Aili Island's entire website!
Apart from feeling proud, Qiao Liang was also very grateful to Boss Pei.
If Boss Pei had not provided such a topical game, Qiao Liang would not have had the chance to produce such a video and stand out among so many other video games.
After being bootlicked, Qiao Liang prepared to close the webpage and continue editing the first episode of Repent and be Saved's walkthrough.
Although Qiao Liang wanted to stay away for a while, the game was very popular now. He had to seize this opportunity to gain more popularity for himself.
If every subsequent episode of his walkthrough could reach the top of Aili Island's entire website, he would gain a lot of fans. In the future, he would be able to take on more sponsored partnerships.
Qiao Liang posted an update: "The first episode of the walkthrough has officially started production! Please look forward to it! In addition, many friends have complained to me that their computers are not good enough to play the game. I suggest that they go to some high-end internet cafes to try it out. To friends in Jingzhou, I especially recommend Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. It will definitely give you the perfect gaming experience. Of course, the downside is that you can't blame the computers if you die. "
He also helped Boss Pei promote Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
After making his presence known, Teacher Qiao was about to close the webpage when he realized that he had received a private message.
He opened it and saw that it was from another UP Master.
"Hello, Teacher Qiao. I am a video creator who studied overseas in the United States. My name is Hao Shuaiqi. I really like Repent and be Saved.
I would like to livestream the game on Live. I hope that I can use some of your content. Thank you. "
Qiao Liang was stunned. He had an impression of this UP Master.
This was indeed a foreign exchange student. In the video, he spoke in fake Mandarin. However, the videos were quite interesting. He was quite popular on Aili Island.
He clicked on the video and confirmed that it was indeed the UP Master.
Qiao Liang was quite happy. He replied directly, "Of course!"
Qiao Liang knew that
Live. This was a new live broadcast service opened by a relatively popular chat software overseas.
There was ZZ Live-Stream in the country, which was also a new live-stream platform.
But in comparison, Link
Live-Stream had started earlier overseas. Its various functions were more complete, and it was much more popular than the domestic ZZ Live-Stream.
What if the foreigner was able to do that?
Live-Streaming Repent and be Saved should be considered as promoting traditional culture, right?
Moreover, he could also make friends with this UP. He could even contact him in the future. Wasn't this a perfect win-win situation?
Thus, Qiao Liang agreed immediately. He even told Hao Shuaijun that he could ask him any questions if he encountered any problems while playing the game. He would answer them seriously.
After all, Repent and be Saved was a game with complicated content. There were many side plots and puzzle-solving content that used elements of ancient Chinese and poetry. Qiao Liang felt that this foreign UP Master's fake Mandarin would not be able to understand it.
The two of them chatted for a while through private messages and had a good chat. They added each other as friends and agreed to exchange their thoughts and experiences about the game regularly.
Hao Shuaijun also said that he would record all the live-streams on Link
He recorded all the live broadcasts and uploaded them to Aili Island. He hoped that Teacher Qiao would repost it for him when the time came.
…
…
October 8th, Friday …
At Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's Huanyu Tianjie branch …
Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan sat in the resting area of the internet cafe. Products of the Gods was playing on the big screen of the projector.
"Brother Ma, the internet cafe's business has been booming recently. I told you that Boss Pei is farsighted."
Zhang Yuan looked at the internet cafe, which was almost half full. "Do you think Boss Pei planned this? He knew that the game would be so popular after it was released and that many people would come to the internet cafe to play the game. Is that why he planned this in advance and asked us to open four shops at once? "
Ma Yang sniggered. "Of course. Brother Qian would never fight a battle he has no confidence in. I think this was planned.
"Speaking of which, the day before yesterday, I secretly went to Xing Le Internet Cafe, which claimed to be taking the high-end route and copying us. Guess what? I got a lag when I played Repent and be Saved. I couldn't run it with the highest special effects!"
Zhang Yuan was stunned. "That can't be, right? Aren't Xing Le Internet Cafe's computers high-end as well? "
Ma Yang shook his head. "I took a look at the hardware. It's a far cry from yours. They must have cut corners. Our computers, including monitors and peripherals, cost more than twenty thousand yuan. One system unit alone costs more than ten thousand yuan.
"However, Xing Le Internet Cafe's system unit costs at most five thousand yuan. How can they be compared?
"We can run Repent and be Saved, but it takes a lot of effort. We have to lower the graphics and special effects. What's more, the gaming experience is average.
"Didn't you realize that more than half of the people who come to our internet cafe are here for Repent and be Saved?
"Chen Lei's incident has already made Fish-Catching Internet Cafe famous. Coupled with the nameless restaurant and Quanmin Reviews' ratings … our internet cafe is now very famous in Jingzhou!
"In Jingzhou, when people think about improving the quality of the internet cafe, the first place that comes to mind is Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
"Brother Qian said that he wanted to return to the essence of the internet cafe business, and he really did it!"
Zhang Yuan sighed. "That's why Boss Pei is still Boss Pei. Everything is connected. Temporary losses are all for greater profits. That's amazing."
"If this continues, things will look good!"
Of course, Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang knew very well that Repent and be Saved was only an opportunity for Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to become more popular.
On one hand, the original Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had built up a good reputation in Jingzhou. On the other hand, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had a good reputation on Quanmin Reviews. That had attracted many people.
Repent and be Saved's hardware requirements were obviously higher than that of ordinary computers. If the hardware was not good enough, the game might lag. Most local players in Jingzhou wanted to experience the game better. Thus, they all went to the nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
Huanyu Tianjie's Fish-Catching Internet Cafe slowly became famous. Many young men who came to shop and had nothing to do would come to the internet cafe to sit down. Unexpectedly, the internet cafe became more popular.
Zhang Yuan and Ma Yang looked at the projection and felt emotional. Boss Pei was so wise!
"May I ask if the two of you are the bosses here?"
Zhang Yuan turned his head and saw an ordinary-looking but well-dressed young man standing behind him.
Zhang Yuan did not dare to slight him. After all, he was a customer. Customers were God.
Whether he was rich or not, he was Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's bread and butter.
"Do you need any help?" Zhang Yuan quickly asked.
The young man smiled. "Nothing much. I just feel that the computers in your internet cafe are very comfortable to use. Can you give me a list of the hardware? I want to build one in my own home. "
Zhang Yuan nodded. "No problem. Please wait a moment."
He found a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the hardware list.
Zhang Yuan knew the hardware by heart. He had it at his fingertips.
"If it's this computer case, it's not very convenient to connect wires. That should be fine, right?" Zhang Yuan handed the paper to the young man and asked casually.
The young man scratched his head. "Er … I don't know how to install computers. Can you help me? "
Zhang Yuan, "…"
He was about to reject him when the young man said, "I'll give you five hundred yuan to install the computer!"
Zhang Yuan, "No problem!"
"That's settled, then. Let's leave our contact details. I'll get someone to install the computer for you. Then, you can leave your address. I'll send the computer to your door."
"Is that so? Thank you so much! "The young man was very happy. He thanked Zhang Yuan profusely and left.
Ma Yang was a little confused. He asked in a low voice, "Let him find someone to install the computer himself. Why are we putting in so much effort?"
Ma Yang did not understand. Zhang Yuan was now the regional manager of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Why did he go back to his old job of installing computers for others?
The installation fee for this computer was quite high compared to the market price. However, Zhang Yuan's salary was so high now. Did he have to work so hard to earn money like this?
Zhang Yuan smiled. "Brother Ma, I'm not doing this for the installation fee of a few hundred yuan. I suddenly feel that there's a business opportunity here!
"Don't you think that 'Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's computer', 'Repent and be Saved', or 'Tengda Games' computer 'sounds like a good gimmick?"
Ma Yang was stunned. "Er … it sounds like a good gimmick. However, it's not enough to ride on the internet cafe's popularity. We're going to be competing with traditional computer brands. It's not going to be easy. "
Zhang Yuan shook his head. "Traditional computer brands are shrinking in price. There's a huge profit margin. For gamers who really want to play games, DIY is definitely more worth it."
Ma Yang pondered for a moment. "But they have after-sales service."
Zhang Yuan smiled. "We can have after-sales service as well. Not only that, but we can also deliver the computer to your door! Have you forgotten that Upwind Logistics is also Boss Pei's business? It'd be a waste if we don't use it!
"There are so many unscrupulous merchants selling computers online. They've cheated many people. We're selling real things. We're only charging a small installation fee and after-sales service fee. We're only targeting ballers. We'll definitely be successful.
"For all we know, we might be able to create a ready-made brand in the future!"
Ma Yang was confused. "A ready-made brand?"
Zhang Yuan nodded. "I've thought about it. Let's call it Faith Nation.
We'll call it Faith Nation or ROF. What do you think?
"Then, we can expand this business to the entire Jingzhou City along with Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and Upwind Logistics!"
Ma Yang pondered for a moment. "It's not impossible, but … I don't think there's a need. Can't we just do the internet cafe business well? "
Zhang Yuan shook his head. "Brother Ma, you're thinking too simply!
"We can't always do whatever Boss Pei tells us to do. That's not taking the initiative!
"We have to take the initiative to share Boss Pei's burdens and find our own work!
"Brother Ma, although you're close to Boss Pei, Tengda is a huge company now. If we don't hurry up and produce results, we'll definitely be suppressed by the other departments.
"We'll expand Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's business this time. If we succeed, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's status in Tengda would definitely rise!
"Wouldn't it be great to hold our heads up high in front of everyone then?"
Ma Yang nodded in agreement. "That's right, you're right."
"We can't always do whatever Brother Qian says. We have to find some work ourselves."
"Then you'll be busy with the computer side. Hire some technicians who are responsible for installation and after-sales service."
"I'll talk to Lu Mingliang about this and ask Upwind Logistics to cooperate with us. Let's give it a try!"
