Li Zhi's suggestion is reasonable and requires no further explanation.
This was clearly a result that the three of them had already discussed, and no one had any objections.
Although Su Wu didn't care about the money, he knew it was his due and he couldn't refuse it.
Seeing that they had no objections, Su Wu gladly accepted.
"Since everyone has said so, I won't stand on ceremony. After all, this cheat didn't come for free."
"If everyone needs to divide it up now, then let's divide it up and use it to pay the tuition fees."
"If we're not in a rush, we can continue to expand; this shouldn't be our limit yet."
Su Wu casually remarked that he felt it was a bit too early to divide the money now.
But upon reflection, he understood.
After all, they are college students, and the pressure of being behind on tuition fees is still very difficult for them.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Ma Shangfeng spoke up in a serious tone.
"Third brother, we've already reached our limit. The fourth brother is mainly in charge of the 15 machines, while the eldest brother and I are handling some of the work. Any more and we won't be able to keep up."
Upon hearing this, Su Wu blushed.
He clearly lacked any talent for business and hadn't considered these issues at all.
Li Zhi interjected, "If we want to continue expanding, we'll have to hire more people, but hiring people also requires paying them salaries, and the quality might not be good."
“Yes, it’s definitely not the right time to hire people. If someone imitates us, our business will be affected,” Ma Shangfeng added.
“Actually, I should be able to operate 20 machines without any problem. How about adding 5 more?” Miao Renfeng scratched his head.
Hearing their words, Su Wu's face flushed, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.
The three of them chatted away, and surprisingly, none of them complained about him. This affection was a little hard for him to bear.
He waved his hand and said, "I was just saying it casually, but it's certain that we'll expand the scale in the future. We'll talk about the specifics after we open a new district. By then, we probably won't have enough houses, so we'll discuss that later."
At its peak, the number of registered players in Legend of Mir was astronomical, with over a million players online simultaneously.
How could they possibly take a bite out of this cake with their current size?
Moreover, as time goes on, those with quick minds will see business opportunities.
The proliferation of cheats will eventually bring this game to its demise.
On the other hand, after 2001, a series of blockbuster online games such as Miracle and Westward Journey appeared, which presented even greater business opportunities.
They now have a unique advantage and are ahead of everyone else, so they must have the idea of growing bigger and stronger.
Hearing him say that, Ma Shangfeng nodded in agreement.
"What the third brother said makes sense. If there are more sections, there will be more players, and we can't miss out on potential users."
"That works too. If we make a lot of money, we can just buy an internet cafe and open a studio, and we can all be bosses together!"
Li Zhi spoke casually, his eyes gleaming with a wild light.
His words energized everyone, and they immediately began to chat.
Ma Shangfeng used his business acumen to paint a rosy picture for the three of them.
"According to my estimate, our power leveling clients can be maintained at least 40 per day. As the level increases, the demand for gold coins and equipment will also increase significantly."
"At this rate, we can easily earn at least tens of thousands a month, maybe even more. If that continues, each of us can earn at least 200,000 during the Chinese New Year. That's awesome!"
Hearing him say that, Li Zhi and Miao Renfeng couldn't help but swallow.
The three of them had never seen so much money before, and for a moment they were filled with longing.
Although Su Wu was completely oblivious to this, he still cooperated by showing a simple, honest smile.
Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "If we want to set up an internet cafe with 100 machines, it would cost at least 400,000 yuan, and it would take us at least two months to do it."
"We're already pretty awesome for setting up a studio with 100 machines in just two months, okay?" Ma Shangfeng exclaimed.
"It's pretty impressive, but that's about it. It's nowhere near as good as Coca-Cola."
Li Zhi pursed his lips and shook the Coke bottle in his hand.
Only after attracting the attention of the three people did she continue speaking.
"This domestic beverage company is really cunning! Have you guys seen this Cola ad?"
"No!"
"Of course not, they never did it! This one just has one more horizontal line than the big, pretty one. My buddy says it's just piggybacking on their advertising!"
"That's awesome?"
"Nonsense, look at this bottle, this packaging. If you don't look closely, who can tell the difference? That's not all. The key is that the taste is similar, even a bit fresher."
With the help of the three, Li Zhi spoke eloquently, launching into a boastful mode.
He took another sip and said, squinting his eyes.
"I originally told this Coca-Cola story as a joke to my buddies in Beijing, and guess what?"
"Holy crap, this Coca-Cola is everywhere in Beijing now, it's incredibly popular, especially the 'buy one get one free' version, it's amazing!"
"My buddy told me that they probably sell hundreds of thousands of bottles every day in Beijing. Now even that big, pretty Coke is almost unsellable. They're really making money here!"
Li Zhi spoke with admiration, feeling that this was truly a grand gesture.
Su Wu knew there was a lot of boasting involved, but he still became a bit cautious.
According to Li Zhi's analysis, the Coca-Cola company might also be trying to sabotage him.
At this point, Ma Shangfeng asked, "How much money do you think they can make from this bottle of Coke?"
“No matter what, I can still earn 50 cents, right?” Miao Renfeng said blankly.
Ma Shangfeng immediately began to calculate.
"If Beijing and Tianjin combined sell a million bottles a day, wouldn't they?"
"At this rate, wouldn't that be 500,000 a day? If we look at the whole country, wouldn't that be several million a day?"
"Are beverage companies really that profitable? This is practically robbery!"
He stared wide-eyed, slammed his fist on the table, and suddenly the game studio didn't seem so appealing anymore.
Their studio's monthly income isn't even a fraction of what others earn in a day.
"That's right, that's how much money they make. When we're rich, we'll open a beverage factory too, it's practically printing money!"
Li Zhi went even further, shouting that he wanted to open a beverage factory in the future.
Seeing that the group of people were already getting drunk without having drunk any alcohol, Su Wu's old face flushed again.
Coca-Cola's daily profit has already exceeded one million, and in the future, it won't be limited to just a few million.
But being praised so much by his roommates was too much for this honest man to bear.
Just as he was smiling and about to invite his friends to a meal at Fu Rui Lou to express his gratitude, his phone rang.
"Hey, Tiger, what's up?"
"Brother Wu, our two beverage factories in the South District have been shut down. They said there were safety issues and we have to rectify them for three months."
