In its previous life, "Legend of Mir" was largely ruined by cheat codes and private servers.

Shanda Group was aware of the harm caused by cheats a long time ago, but Korean game companies would not easily sell the game copyright of "Legend of Mir" to Shanda Group.

In this lifetime, due to the greater prevalence of internet cafes and the earlier emergence of Alipay, Shanda Group was able to earn more from distributing the game "Legend of Mir," achieving a revenue of 200 million RMB in just one month.

Why would they willingly share such immense wealth with South Korean game developers?!

At the meeting, everyone unanimously agreed to buy "Legend of Mir" from a Korean game developer.

The game "Legend of Mir" seems to be popular only in mainland China. In South Korea, its performance is mediocre, far inferior to "Lineage".

The South Korean game developer that created "The Legend of Mir" can only make a fortune by relying on Shanda Group to distribute the game. Therefore, Shanda Group wants to take advantage of this and buy the copyright of "The Legend of Mir" from them.

...

At this time, internet cafes across the country were shocked by the upgrade and transformation of Tenglong chain internet cafes.

"Should we upgrade the computers in our internet cafe?" one internet cafe owner asked, frowning and hesitant. Upgrading seemed too expensive, but not upgrading risked losing business.

The $400 million investment in "Primordial World: Three Races Battle" has already generated immense anticipation among countless players.

Any internet cafe that can't play this game will definitely lose a lot of customers.

"Old Wang, do you want to upgrade your internet cafe to the same computer configuration as Tenglong Internet Cafe?"

"I don't know, I probably won't replace them. You know, my internet cafe has only been open for a little over six months, I haven't even broken even yet, the computers are practically new, why would I want to replace them?"

"If you don't switch, it might affect the internet cafe's business!"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. What's wrong? Is your internet cafe planning to upgrade its computer specs?"

"Yes, that's definitely on my mind. Players are all looking forward to playing 'Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy.' If I upgrade my computer's specs, the internet cafe's business will definitely be much better than before! Maybe then I can implement a membership system and recoup a large portion of my investment ahead of time!"

"Hey, you know what, the membership system is actually a pretty good idea! Most internet cafes in China probably won't upgrade their computer configurations right away, so if your internet cafe does upgrade, business will definitely boom and demand will outstrip supply. When that happens, launching a membership system will definitely work!"

"Haha, yes, that's what I think too."

Many internet cafe owners who knew each other were discussing whether or not to upgrade their computer configurations.

Some internet cafe owners are willing to take a gamble, but most are too conservative and unwilling to spend a lot of money on computer configurations.

At that time, Tenglong Internet Cafe chain had approximately 40,000 stores in China, accounting for 25% of the domestic market.

Of course, this only refers to registered, legitimate internet cafes.

It's important to know that there are countless illegal internet cafes.

On average, each Tenglong Internet Cafe has 100 computers, which adds up to 4 million computers.

That's terrifying; this is almost equivalent to the sales of many computer manufacturers over several years.

Tenglong Internet Cafe's large-scale "makeover" this time has indeed cost a considerable amount of money.

Nearly 4 million old computers are actually quite valuable.

Wujiang Building.

"Chairman Zhao, we have already compiled statistics on the number of primary schools in the country. There are a total of 460,000 primary schools nationwide, of which 380,000 are rural primary schools," said Chai Hanfei, the person in charge of Tenglong Internet Cafe.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye was slightly taken aback. He had originally intended to donate some computers to each rural primary school after the computers at Tenglong Internet Cafe were upgraded and replaced, using them as second-hand computers. However, he did not expect that there were so many rural primary schools in China. If distributed on average, each rural primary school would only receive about 10 computers.

Even a computer room isn't enough.

“Only 10 computers per primary school is a bit too few!” Zhao Ye frowned.

Chai Hanfei laughed and said, "Chairman Zhao, I have a way to get more old computers to each primary school!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye looked up at Chai Hanfei and asked, "What method?"

Chai Hanfei replied with a smile, "Chairman Zhao, have you forgotten that there are many other internet cafes in the country? Our Wujiang Group can launch an 'old computer for new computer' program, which will allow us to acquire a large number of old computers at low cost, and we can also take this opportunity to sell a large number of new computers! In addition, the more internet cafes that exchange their computers, the more beneficial it will be for the promotion of 'Primordial World: Three Races' Hegemony'!"

Chai Hanfei did not become selfish because he was the CEO of Tenglong Internet Cafe; he proposed solutions from the perspective of the entire group.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but admire Chai Hanfei, praising him highly: "President Chai, your suggestions are excellent! Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you!"

"Thank you, Chairman Zhao! This is just my duty!" Chai Hanfei said modestly.

Zhao Ye smiled, patted Chai Hanfei on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, go ahead and get busy. You'll be in charge of donating computers to rural primary schools."

Chai Hanfei nodded.

Zhao Ye then called Liu Yinyin over, mentioned the suggestion Chai Hanfei had made earlier, and asked her to notify the various companies under the group to cooperate.

...

That afternoon, the heads of several subsidiaries held a meeting to discuss the "trade-in" program.

A detailed plan was quickly developed.
