Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Without waiting for Yufei to answer, Karina eagerly explained her lofty ideals to her, demonstrated the feasibility of the second-hand platform, and repeatedly emphasized that she was simply a genius.

He didn't give Yufei any chance to speak and kept talking for more than ten minutes. During this time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his ideas were reasonable.

"You Fei, we are going to become big businessmen! When I become richer than my family, I will see how he can deduct my living expenses!"

Karina spoke passionately, the afterglow of the setting sun shining through the window onto her raised right fist.

If her stated goal wasn't just to prevent her family from deducting any more living expenses, which is a bit lame, then this scene would still be pretty cool.

"Come and start a business with me——"

Carina held Yuffie's shoulders and rocked her back and forth.

"Don't get excited yet, I feel a little dizzy." Yufei escaped from Karina's clutches with difficulty.

Of course, she knew more about network matters. After all, she was a senior developer and one of the first people in Feilin to come into contact with network applications.

“How do you make this platform in the first place?”

"You do it."

Yufei was shocked by Carina's innocent answer, "You mean, I want to build a shopping platform by myself?"

"Yeah." Carina blinked.

In her opinion, websites and the like are nothing that can be created easily by a powerful wizard, right?

"No, I am responsible for game development, which is not the same as website development. I have never done front-end development."

"What's the front end?"

"Um..." Yuffie thought about how to explain it in the simplest way, "It's something you can see directly. You usually can't see the things I make directly."

And Yuffie still wants to continue making games.

"Oh, I think I understand."

Karina roughly understood that starting a business seemed to be more troublesome than she had imagined.

"So you won't."

Yuffie shook her head, "Not really."

Karina bit her fingers, wondering how she could put her good ideas into practice.
"That means I have to find extra people to complete this website."

“It’s not easy to do. First of all, such a platform is not just a small website. It is very complicated and not something that can be created by a wizard. It requires a whole team.

"Secondly, we need to rent a service space on the God's Shell. For a shopping platform, this space must be very large because the concurrency will be very large, that is, the number of operations processed at the same time.

"Finally, we need to promote it. Building this kind of platform is not like building a game. Even if you don't promote it, as long as it's fun and has a good reputation, players will gradually be attracted. But for a shopping platform, you must have both merchants and customers to get started."

Yuffie probably spoke of the difficulties that Carina might face.

It's not that she wanted to dissuade her good friend, but she had to let Karina know that this matter was not so easy to do, and it was better than rushing into it without knowing anything.

"Um……"

However, Karina did not seem to be frightened by these problems. She sat on the chair, leaning against the backrest, and began to think about how to solve these problems.

As a person who has been brought up with strict family education and received elite education, Karina's personal abilities are not bad, but she has never had the opportunity to show them.

After a few minutes, she came to her own conclusion, "People who can spell and build websites are in great demand nowadays and hard to find."

"Yes."

Because the Internet is still in its early stages of development and has enormous potential, everyone can see that it is a gold mine, but it just lacks people to mine it.

Therefore, anyone who knows the spell-making program can find a job anywhere, as many business groups have investments but nowhere to spend them.

During the interview process, the interviewee can even unilaterally select the business group. As long as you are willing to go for the interview, you can get a considerable travel allowance regardless of whether you choose to work or not.

Under such circumstances, it is natural that a poor project like Karina cannot find any serious employees.

"What about the students in our college?"

"Basically everyone has a part-time job. I work part-time at the Drogo Group."

"Part-time job doesn't count as an internship, right?"

"Not counting."

"I have an idea!" Jialina's eyes lit up. "My grandfather's students have elective courses in our school. Now that the subject is being reformed, we are not sure what new courses we will start. Why not start a network project practice course and build my platform? This way I can get credits and count it as an internship, and I don't have to spend any money."

Carina's ideas went far beyond what Yuffie had imagined.

Could it be that she is really a genius?

This is the legendary biggest advantage of aristocrats starting a business, and the word "connections" is written everywhere between the lines.

“In this way, our platform can be operated in schools at first, and we can sell second-hand textbooks to students. Our textbooks are so expensive, and many freshmen want to buy second-hand ones and bring their own notes, but it is difficult to contact old students, so we just need such a platform.

"Then, if we use it in one school, we don't need to rent a large service space. We can gradually expand from one school to all the schools in these cities. There is no need for publicity. Students will spread the word on their own. Once we have accumulated enough money, we will develop it into a platform for the entire continent!"

Karina became more and more excited as she spoke. It seemed that all the problems she had just faced were solved at once, and the only thing missing was a small amount of start-up capital.

She looked back at Yuffie.

Yuffie realized what she was about to do and quietly pulled her legs back, but she was too slow.

"Feifei," Carina hugged Yufei's thighs again, "I know you are the best to me, just lend me a little money. Although I don't know how expensive it is to rent a service space, it shouldn't be much."

"Uh, but I promised uncle..."

"No, that's not right. This is not borrowing money, this is investment. Yufei, don't you want to become our, um, the original shareholder of the idle platform of Little Fireball? When our platform is developed, do you still need to work for Drogo? You can make whatever game you want!"

"In fact, I am quite free to set up projects now..."

Having said that, Yufei had to admit that she was a little tempted.

And the service space used by an academy is indeed not too expensive.

So, Yuffie nodded slightly.

"Great! I'll go find Grandpa's students now and wait for my good news!"

---------

Drogo pulled a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator.

The latest model sent by Igor has added a defrost function, but Drogo himself does not put things that produce a lot of moisture in the refrigerator.

He keeps one in his office, just for the coke.

It is more convenient to use than pure magic. There are magic power lines laid throughout the city of Waterdeep, so you can just connect the refrigerator and use it.

Drogo flicked open the bottle cap and drank the whole thing in one gulp, feeling refreshed.

This stuff, it's true, is completely different when it's chilled and when it's at room temperature.

After the short break, Drogo continued to look at the documents on his desk, the candidate projects for the first Drogo Entrepreneurship Award.

This is a new award created by Zhuo Ge, which aims to select entrepreneurs who have potential but are short of money within a year, give them awards to encourage them, and provide angel investments of different amounts based on the level of their awards.

No, Feilin has no angels. From now on, this term should be called Red Dragon Investment.

Igor's team has naturally secured a spot for the highest prize.

It is expected that ten top prizes will be awarded, and more than half have been selected.

Including a magical oven for quickly heating food, which is actually very similar to a microwave oven. A magic-assisted bicycle that gives magic power to the bicycle street, but it still does not completely eliminate the need for pedaling, just makes the bicycle easier to ride.

There was also a system that was completely beyond Drogo's expectations, which achieved navigation functions by engraving magical guides on the ground.

In short, most of the projects that have been screened out are about the application of magical energy. After all, more than half of the newly applied patents are in this area.

Of course, not all registered projects are so serious. Most of them are actually very abstract things.

For example, those who study maggot farming.

No, this is something humans can come up with?
Studying the breeding of mice can be considered a contribution to the development of science. What are maggots?

Drogo looked at the report in his claws and could hardly believe his eyes.

Oh, it really wasn’t thought up by humans, it’s actually a project of the Orc tribe.

Unexpectedly, the orcs also started to try to start a business.

Moreover, this project is surprisingly serious. These orcs believe that maggots are an excellent source of meat, are very easy to breed, consume few resources, and are even quite clean.

In other words, the beastmen don’t know the concept of protein, otherwise they would definitely mention here that the protein is many times more than that of other meats.

The only downside is that most people can't accept it.

Forget it, just give it a third prize. Maybe the orcs like this.

“Little Fireball second-hand shopping platform.”

Drogo's eyes lit up. This looked much more reliable.

He read the entire report carefully. It was quite useful and currently only popular among a few universities in the Twin Towers City and was very popular among local students.

It was Karina who did it.

I didn't expect she had this skill.

But Fireball is indeed the name she would come up with.

In order to resolve possible disputes in second-hand transactions, Karina also creatively designed a jury system.

Let the two parties in a transaction with disputes post their demands and transaction status here, and then push it to other users on the platform, and let everyone decide who is right and who is wrong.

I won’t say how fair it is, but it’s a good idea.

Drogo went out of his way to take a look at the Little Fireball platform, and found the web design visibly poor.

There is also a clarity that belongs to students.

It means that the places are full of genuine second-hand and unused goods for sale, and have not become a backyard for middlemen.

Worth the investment.

However, after the investment and full promotion, Little Fireball will probably become a paradise for scalpers.

There is no way around it. As long as there is profit to be made, businessmen specializing in this will emerge.

Hayek's big hand belongs to him.

I put Galina's Fireball into the first prize, and selected a few reliable projects to complete the list of winners of the first Drogo Entrepreneurship Award.

"That's it." Drogo handed the list to Elsa.

Elsa looked at the list of results but didn't open it. Instead, she asked curiously, "When you were planning to hold this award, I wanted to ask you, are you sure that all the projects you invest in will be successful?"

She just couldn't tell which of the registered projects would make money.

The only investment you can make is to put your money in the bank to earn interest, or at most buy some gold to hoard, because gold is always useful anyway.

"Of course not. If all these projects were successful, starting a business would be too easy," Drogo replied.

“Even if their ideas are good and they have enough ability, they may fail for some random reasons or even just bad luck. It is very common.”

"Won't you lose money then?" Aisha asked.

In her opinion, no, in everyone's opinion, Drogo would never do anything that would lose money.

"Maybe, but this will promote the prosperity of the market. I need the market to prosper. If all the money ends up flowing into my hands, the economy will sooner or later have problems, so I have to let the money circulate, and..."

Drogo smiled evilly.

“All the money that comes out of me doesn’t necessarily really go out.”

"What's the meaning."

“Have you ever seen Batman?”

"I've read a little bit, about the comic where a rich guy, instead of enjoying his good life, wears weird clothes and goes out to fight?"

Drogo ignored Elsa's strange description of Batman.

"If I become the 'Veen Group' of the entire Felin, then it doesn't matter whether the money is with me or not, because in essence, no matter where I spend it, it's still mine. This is called wealth, ahahahaha..."

Drogo's evil laughter gave Elsa goose bumps.

Sure enough, I overestimated Drogo.

Elsa took the list and left the office, leaving Drogo there alone, immersed in the dream of turning Drogo Group into the Wayne Group of the entire continent.

Judging from the creepy laughter, this dream really made Drogo happy.

When she reached the door, Elsa remembered that there was one more thing and turned back.

"Boss, the elders of the Luling tribe sent me a prophecy and told me to give it to you."

"prophecy?"

Drogo has never really believed in this stuff, but when he thinks that the elders of the Deer Spirit Tribe are actually involved in big data, it is still worth taking seriously.

"Take it and take a look."

Not to mention, the Big Data Elder's predictions are still very mysterious in their expression.

She carved it on the antlers.

There could not be a more stereotypical prediction.

The content of the prophecy is brief.

"The probability of war breaking out in Sutton is 67%; the probability of Loman starting a war is 92%; the probability of war spreading to the whole of Felin is 78%; war is coming."

Drogo lowered his antlers and sighed.

Like Gerda's judgment, he believed that war was inevitable, but the prediction of the Big Data Elder was more direct and larger in scale.

Affecting the entire Feilin.

Drogo sighed helplessly.

There was no way he would gamble on the 20% probability of no continental war happening without making any preparations.

More advanced weapons are needed.

The weapons that the Shenzhen Research Institute is currently researching are all aimed at public security warfare. They are easy to use, but not enough to cope with large-scale wars.

An intelligence agency is also needed.

An intelligence network that covers the entire continent cannot allow a war to break out without their knowledge. (End of this chapter)
