Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 77 Can you still make money by playing games? (Please read more!)

A few days later, Lao Ma, who was far away in Hangzhou, fell into deep thought while looking at a game trading platform reported by Sun Yutong, one of his Eighteen Arhats.

In the past two years, Alibaba has set up offices in various countries around the world, recruited various MBA executives, and promoted global commerce and trade.

The investment money was spent, but the profit model was not clear. When the Internet bubble hit, Lao Ma's initially ambitious plan to list Alibaba at the end of this year was completely shelved.

Layoffs, downsizing, and increasing revenue and reducing expenditures have become topics that Lao Ma often talks about. At this time, most of the layoffs were made by senior executives, who were just a slut compared to Ali's current army of [-] social talents.

Alibaba is currently in a critical period of transformation. At this time, he saw this Taoyou treasure, and Lao Ma was inspired.

If BtoB (Business to Business) can’t get out of the woods, is CtoC (Consumer to Consumer) going to get better?

The more I think about it, the more confident I become, and all kinds of ideas emerge one after another, and my thinking is as brilliant as indigestion.

After the two talked all night, the next day, a secret team of more than a dozen people, led by Sun Tongyu, was stationed in the lakeside garden to start a new business. Ma Yun issued a pre-war mobilization.

As we all know, Lao Ma is very good at talking. Before anything happened, the classic arguments in major speeches were regarded as the standard by many people.

It is not known whether the subsequent bombardment was really carried away or whether it was deliberately used as a covert.

The mobilization effect was very obvious. More than a dozen participants were in high spirits and wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy immediately, howling and screaming.

Lao Ma began to announce the content of this retreat, which was to refer to this website called Taoyoubao, combine it with the characteristics of Alibaba, and develop China's first local trading platform. Taoyoubao is for trading game equipment. They sell everything.

Finally, in the naming session, more than a dozen members of the group began to think hard and came up with dozens of names, including: Alimama, Taojin, Tesco, Yigou, Mahao...

Among them, Alibaba’s mother has a very loud voice. The reason is that Alibaba’s B2B business is very similar to that of a family. Alibaba’s father earns money to support the family while Alibaba’s mother spends money shopping at home.

This name was rejected by Lao Ma because it was "casual and not serious".Finally, he saw a name and asked. It turned out that it was chosen by one of the designers. The inspiration came from removing one word of Taoyoubao and turning it into "Taobao". There is no treasure in the world that cannot be found. If you lose your vitality, that’s it!

After the meeting, Lao Ma signed a confidentiality agreement with everyone. From then on, under the leadership of Sun Yutong, the secret team carried out closed development in the villa for half a year.

Zhang Xin is a college student who is about to enter his junior year. Because he is studying in a junior college, he completely lets himself go and plays games in Internet cafes every day.

During the two years of college, I went from playing online gold to Legend, and then all the way to the current miracle. I only had to go to the library to study some key points before the end of the semester, and barely passed the exam.

But as the countdown to graduation has started, the more he plays, the more panic he feels.

He was full of confusion about his future and about to enter the society. He felt that he had not gone to college yet, so why should he do an internship?

He was not ready yet, so he resisted.

The more confused I become, the more I want to use games to numb myself and escape reality.

He has a specialty, that is, he doesn't spend a penny on the card money for playing games, and he gets it all by defrauding the ladyboy account in the game.

In the age of Internet finance, players are very simple. With just a few words, they can get a point card. At most, he has more than thirty unused point cards in his hand.

As time went by, he found that gamers were becoming more and more aware of fraud, which forced him to upgrade their deception techniques.

From being a good brother, to swearing poison, and then asking for help from beautiful classmates in the class, he recorded various voices and found some sexy photos of beauties online, and achieved his ultimate goal by making QQ friends in a curved way to save the country.

He couldn't help it. The conditions at home were not good, and he loved to play, so he could only use some crooked thinking to come up with this solution.

Of course, in addition to cheating, he is also very sensitive to the prices of items in the game. He earns a bit of price difference in the school by buying low and selling high, and also makes a lot of extra money.

Otherwise, his meager living expenses would only be enough to live on, not enough to spend on games. The network fee alone plus some card fees would be enough to put him off!

Today, he went to the Internet cafe as usual to turn on his computer and surf the Internet. According to his inertia, he first opened the Miracle official website and forum to see if there was any big news before playing games.

It doesn't matter at first glance. Looking at the official announcement, Taoyoubao?what?

Out of curiosity, Zhang Xin clicked in and jumped to a brand new web page.

<divclass="contentadv">A variety of information caught his eye.

The +3 Legendary Staff in Zone 2 and Server 8 only costs 998. It has been authenticated by real-name, so you can be a good person. Can you be quick or slow?

3 Blessings 1 soul 100 yuan, if you want it, buy it as soon as possible!

1区1服143级精灵弓箭手账号出售，5件+7、2件+8，仅售2000元，毕业准备工作没时间玩，流泪甩卖！

Zhang Xin browsed with wide eyes, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

I randomly found one and clicked in, and entered a details page. First, there were screenshots of the equipment and specific information, but I couldn't see the seller's relevant information, including contact information.

His miracle character is a level 136 magician with a full body +7 legendary set. Due to his weak foundation, he has dozens of various gems in his warehouse and dare not attack +8.

With this Taoyoubao, he knows how much these things are worth.

Zhang Xin quickly searched for the +7 magician keyword under the trading hall account category, and the results came out quickly, but there were only three.

Different levels and equipment.Generally between 1000 and 2000.

Turning to search for blessing gems, he was shocked, I am so expensive.

Sorted by unit price, the cheapest blessing gems are 15 yuan/piece and the most expensive are 999/piece. I guess 999 is just for fun.

The soul gem is 9 yuan/piece, and the Mayan stone is 7 yuan/piece.

Looking at the pile of gems in the warehouse, Zhang Xin swallowed his saliva, Maja Fake, I'm crazy!

Now he no longer has to worry about how he was deceived. People's hearts are full of flesh. Occasionally, he dreams about it at midnight, and sometimes he has an uneasy conscience, fearing retribution in the future.

Now that there is a serious business, whoever wants to be a liar can do it.

Without further ado, let’s start selling.

There is no need to re-register the account. Miracle accounts can be logged in directly, which is more convenient.

To become a seller, you need an ID card for real-name authentication. Fortunately, now that Internet cafes are online, an ID card is a necessity, but he didn't have a camera, so there was nothing he could do.

He ran directly downstairs, where there happened to be a picture and text shop. Half an hour later, he returned to the Internet cafe, uploaded the ID card picture as required, and finally left a contact information.

Done, now he is a glorious Taoyou treasure seller.

Zhang Xin quickly clicked the sell button.

It’s my first time to test the water. I only sell one blessing gem for 18 yuan.

As a result, the transaction did not occur within 2 minutes, and 10 yuan was credited to the online banking account 13 minutes later.

? ? ?Why is it missing? Then I checked the Taoyoubao transaction instructions.

Platform service fee standard: 100 yuan per transaction with a value below 5 yuan, 100% of the transaction price above 10 yuan.

Damn, it’s so dark!
