Having a million in hand makes many things much easier.
But the first thing Zhao Chen had to do was break down the million into smaller amounts and store them in different accounts under his new identity.
At the same time, a portion of cash should be set aside for safekeeping in case of unforeseen circumstances.
He needs to be wary of the methods the Zhao family might use.
After all, this family has no bottom line.
Moreover, Zhao Chen had only been trying to scare Zhao Guohua before.
Although he knew about some of the despicable things Zhao Guohua had done, and he also knew where the evidence was.
But he hasn't gotten any evidence yet, so he can only try to bluff the other side for now.
So the second thing is to get a high-spec computer.
After all, if you want to do something well, you must first have the right tools!
Although Zhao Chen's hacking skills are impressive, even the best software will be significantly less effective without powerful hardware.
In other words, Zhao Chen's current technology is twenty years ahead of the current level; otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to roam the internet freely with this old laptop.
Without saying a word, Zhao Chen went straight to the computer mall and bought various parts to assemble the computer himself.
None of these computer enthusiasts are anything but hardware experts.
Cultivating both inner and outer skills is an essential course for a top-tier hacker.
With these things in hand, Zhao Chen could start making trouble.
Although he assembled it himself, it still cost Zhao Chen tens of thousands of yuan.
But the assembled result is definitely comparable to the configuration of machines costing tens of thousands of dollars from major manufacturers.
After all, electronic products at this time were considered luxury items. Even the most basic, lowest-spec computer would cost tens of thousands of yuan to buy.
Therefore, the fact that he was able to accomplish such a great thing with such a small amount of money was due to Zhao Chen's capabilities, as well as his familiarity with the available resources at that time.
Zhao Chen's actions, such as riding a bicycle to a bar, demonstrate a willingness to save money where possible and spend it where appropriate.
The cost of these accessories was exactly what it should have been.
But outsiders can forget about making a lot of profit off him.
With Zhao Chen's current skills, he could make a lot of money by making some parts and software and assembling computers.
At the very least, living a stable and secure life is quite easy.
But making money this way is too slow; it's not the life he wants.
He needs to quickly accumulate initial capital. If all else fails, he'll just go and fleece the millionaires.
But the chance to take advantage of others is only once or twice, and the production team can't let him keep doing that.
That expert from the previous life was also a smart man; he knew long ago that the program team would definitely change the competition rules.
So, the second time he only won the 200,000 yuan prize, which was actually because he deliberately lost.
Otherwise, if he had won one million twice in a row, the production team would not have let him come a third time.
He can take less money in the middle, deliberately lose once, and still get an extra 200,000.
After all, 200,000 yuan can still buy an apartment in Beijing these days!
Zhao Chen also planned to replicate the boss's plan and do it twice more.
That means he still has 1.2 million in income, which is quite considerable for an ordinary person.
But Zhao Chen still felt that this amount of money was too little.
He has so much to do now.
This amount of money is simply not enough to make a splash.
The parallel universes depicted in the novel begin in 1998.
This was also the year Zhao Chen was reborn.
The parallel world in this novel follows a historical trajectory that is almost identical to the world he was reborn into.
At that time, even penguins had not yet been invented, and people still maintained a skeptical attitude towards the internet.
These days, only high-end tycoons can afford to use computers.
Many people have never even touched a keyboard.
Therefore, Zhao Chen is currently unable to utilize many of his skills.
But for today's so-called elites, it's still a case of being outmatched!
Zhao Chen has seized too many opportunities, and that's his biggest advantage.
Just like now, after receiving this million, he immediately configured a top-of-the-line computer.
Immediately afterwards, he went to buy a domain name!
It's worth noting that many domain names, such as penguin, taobao, 2345, and 360, have not yet been registered or purchased.
Later, these unicorn companies spent a huge amount of money to buy back their domain names.
Domains that were originally bought for a few hundred dollars are resold for tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
It caused quite a stir.
At that moment, Zhao Chen quickly began searching for his desired domain name on a domain name trading website.
Apart from a few domains that have already been targeted, most of them are still available for buying and selling.
Without saying a word, Zhao Chen bought up all the domain names he could get his hands on!
Now he just needs to wait for these domain names to appreciate in value.
As for Tencent and its founder, they're probably still building their own teams; they just need to wait for the right opportunity.
Zhao Chen had no intention of stealing Pony Ma's business. Wouldn't it be more convenient to bring the entire team under his own control?
He has the overall direction for the future development of penguins and can help them avoid many detours!
He wants to make penguins his little pets.
With Tencent, a future behemoth, still thinking of messing with him?
He can make sure the Zhao family can never hold their heads high again!
Of course, domain names and penguins represent the future, but what he needs to do now is to develop his flagship product!
He believes someone will contact him soon.
At this moment, Zhao Chen remembered how he earned his first pot of gold before he transmigrated into the book.
By then, the online world had already taken shape, and the established social classes were firmly established.
It is not an easy task to carve out a path in such a stable social structure and earn your first pot of gold.
Zhao Chen's first pot of gold came from video websites.
He created a website that sells all sorts of videos that can excite men.
But he found a loophole that allowed him to sell films safely without breaking the law.
Even if people who buy the films suffer a loss, most of them can only suffer in silence, since they don't have much money to spare.
Aside from cursing the people who make the video websites as scoundrels, all they can do is grit their teeth and swallow their anger.
However, Zhao Chen is currently in an era where the internet is still a blue ocean market, so there's no need for him to do this.
But he knew that if he created such a video website at this time, he would earn more money and make money faster.
Moreover, with his hacking skills, it would be impossible for anyone to catch him.
However, in order to quickly gain an advantage, it's still worth launching a counterattack.
Of course, he can only do this kind of quick money-making thing once; it won't last!
Moreover, you can't let your peers know, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing if word got out.
Zhao Chen's real goal is the first golden goose in the internet industry: online games!
However, if you want to develop online games, you need to upgrade your broadband and servers, and improve all aspects of your configuration.
This requires a large amount of financial investment.
The one million that Zhao Chen currently holds is not even worth a ripple.
How can this be allowed?
In the end, Zhao Chen made a tough decision: sell the film, young man.
While Zhao Chen was making great strides in his career, the Zhao family on the other side was shrouded in gloom and despair.
