"studio?"

Luo Wenjie looked depressed: "Then...the internet cafe..."

Chen Fan shook his head: "You can choose for yourself this time. If you join the studio, I will find someone else to be the manager of the Internet cafe."

"Of course... I have to say something first."

Chen Fan's expression became much more serious.

"You two should know that the current laws on plug-ins are not perfect, but it is definitely not a legal business..."

"If you two choose to enter the studio, you must understand the risks you are facing..."

"Of course, I can definitely make more money in the studio than in an internet cafe."

Chen Fan held up three fingers: "The shares of this studio are divided into three parts, I have four, and you two each have three."

"What do you think? Think about it and give me an answer."

When he heard that he had a 30% stake, Zhou Honghai's eyes lit up.

“I’m joining the studio!”

Luo Wenjie thought about it and gritted his teeth, "If you don't sacrifice the child, you can't catch the wolf. I will join in."

Chen Fan nodded.

"It's settled, then."

"From now on, the matter of setting up the studio will be handed over to you two. Lao Zhou, you have the skills, so you can recruit a few technicians to build the framework of the studio first."

"In the next period of time, you can study all the games available on the Internet and prepare script plug-ins."

"Brother Jie, you have the navy and the management, you will be responsible for the sales issue."

"As for the money earned from selling plug-ins, we make an account once a month."

"How is it? What do you two think?"

Luo Wenjie and Zhou Honghai looked at each other.

"No comment."

"Okay. That's it for now."

Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "From today on, Brother Jie, you can try to sell this plug-in I gave you."

"Also, Lao Zhou, I will give you 20,000 to 30,000 yuan as start-up capital. You will need to rent a house and recruit employees."

Zhou Honghai nodded, his eyes somewhat excited.

"clear."

Judging from the anxiety and anticipation in their eyes, they are clearly not very confident about the profitability of this studio.

Only Chen knew in his heart that it was now 2001. In the next few years, as long as he didn't do anything stupid and just quietly sold some plug-ins, the studio would definitely make a fortune.

Chen Fan's prediction was soon confirmed.

After the first month, Chen Fan sold more than 500 plug-ins he developed, making a net profit of more than 30,000 yuan.

Luo Wenjie and Zhou Honghai both received nearly 10,000 yuan.

This is equivalent to three months' salary in the Internet cafe.

From this point on, the two no longer doubted Chen Fan's judgment.

Luo Wenjie and Zhou Honghai treated Chen Fan to a good meal.

At the dinner, Chen Fan reminded the two not to mention the affairs of the studio to anyone, not even their closest relatives.

After all, what we are doing now is on the edge of the law.

Luo Wenjie patted Chen Fan's shoulder excitedly.

"Don't worry, Brother Fan. I won't even tell my own mother."

Zhou Honghai, who was standing by, also had a rosy face, no longer showing the depression he had some time ago.

놛Now I earn much more than those technicians of Extraordinary Technology.

땤 Moreover, Chen Fan said that as long as you maintain good customers, you will make more and more money in the future.

Zhou Honghai asked Chen Fan with a smile if he could consider developing plug-ins for his game next.

Chen Fan put down his wine glass and made a suggestion to Zhou Honghai seemingly casually.

"Recently, an online game called "Legend of Hot Blood" has just been launched. From now on, the studio can focus all its work on the research of plug-ins for this game."

Zhou Honghai was stunned.

"A newly launched online game? Should we wait and see how the market reacts before making a decision?"

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

"No. This game is going to be a huge hit."

"How do you know?"

"Intuition." Chen Fan gave a mysterious smile.

“Trust me, Legend is an amazing game.”

Zhou Honghai thought about it and gritted his teeth.

"Okay. I'll do as you say."

Luo Wenjie, who was standing by, came up.

"Brother Fan, I think our plug-ins are sold too cheaply."

"It's only 10 bucks a piece. You have no idea how popular this thing is. I think even if we raise the price to 150 bucks a piece, there will still be a lot of people buying it."

Chen Fan shook his head: "Don't raise the price. This is the first plug-in of our studio. It is mainly to build user trust."

"Besides, this thing doesn't have much technical content. After a while, there will be other plug-ins. Then we may have to lower the price."

Luo Wenjie glared: "Price reduction? Is there really a chance that other plug-ins will appear?"

Chen Fan smiled, "No one is stupid. You make money by selling this, so of course people will be jealous."

"What should I do?"

Chen Fan glanced at Zhou Honghai and said, "Didn't I just say that we should move our position and be the first to develop plugins for Legend?"

"In the future, our studio will strive to have what others don't have and be better than others."

"I see. You're worthy of being a businessman." Luo Wenjie smiled and gave a thumbs up.

It turned out that Zhou Honghai was quite practical. Together with a dozen technicians newly recruited by the studio, he worked day and night for more than ten days and finally developed the first plug-in for "Legend".

But the sales volume is not too high.

Chen Fan comforted Zhou Honghai, "Don't worry, just wait for a while, this game will give you a surprise later."

At that time, Chen Fan made a small request to Zhou Donghai, asking him to add a link to the GO navigation homepage in the external plugin compressed package.

Zhou Honghai naturally would not refuse such a small request.

By the end of October, Ma Xiaoshuai took Chen Fan with him to take the driving test together.

Thanks to his father’s connections, Ma Xiaoshuai doesn’t have to go to driving school and can take the exam directly.

The matter was supposed to get better during the Chinese New Year, but Chen Fan had too many things to do and kept putting it off until October.

Although they don’t have to go to a driving school for specific training, they still have to study in the driving school for a day, mainly to familiarize themselves with the route and rules of the test.

Driving school exams these days are actually much simpler than they will be in the future.

Both of them are experienced drivers, so it is basically not difficult.

After briefly familiarizing themselves with the examination route, Ma Xiaoshuai and Chen Fan went to smoke and chat under the shade of a tree.

"Hey, look!"

Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had discovered a new continent, and pushed Chen Fan's arm.

"Look, look! That... isn't that who?"

"Who?" Chen Fan was speechless. "Did you see your mother?"

Ma Xiaoshuai pointed across excitedly: "What's the name of the one in the red skirt..."

Looking in the direction Ma Xiaoshuai pointed, Chen Fan was stunned on the spot.

It turns out to be an acquaintance.

Xu Qiuci.

It seems that this girl hasn't met each other for a while.

At that time, the two of them met through Mo Siyu's introduction.

By the way, I haven't seen Mo Siyu for a while. I heard that she is about to graduate and start her internship. I don't know what she is doing recently.

"Xu Qiuci..."

Chen Fan whispered the name.

"Yes, that's her." Ma Xiaoshuai clapped his hands.

"If you really think about it, she is the matchmaker of our dormitory."

"If it weren't for the introduction, how could Wu Di, Jie Ge and I have found a girlfriend from the social dormitory?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled.

"You are quite right in saying that."

"You should thank them very much."

Before Chen Fan could react, Ma Xiaoshuai had already run over, waving his arms excitedly.

"Senior Sister..."
