Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 249: Unconventional Measures Needed

"You're really stuck in a rut. There's no hope!" Chen Hongwen said in a deep voice, "At the end of next month, I'll have your brother take over your mess."

Chen Hongwen hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

"Mr. Chen, I think you should listen to the chairman's advice. Our group is developing rapidly now. If you are sent to Southeast Asia, it would be like being banished to the cold palace." Chen Zhi's assistant whispered beside him.

Chen Zhi's eyes revealed a lonely look, and he murmured, "I can't retreat even a single step. I hope the people on the board can see the current situation clearly. I'm like a leaky dam, struggling to hold back the flood of Momo Group. If I retreat, all my businesses will be washed away by Momo Group."

The assistant glanced at Chen Zhi and he also felt that Chen Zhi was getting stuck in a dead end.

Before they came to Jingzhou City, Momo Group had always been very low-key. Not only did they not try to steal the jobs of the Jingzhou City Internet Cafe Alliance, but they had been helping those Internet cafes in Jingzhou City.

It was only after the arrival of their Tianqin Group that the Momo Group was forced to launch a full-scale counterattack.

Chen Zhi said, somewhat distractedly, "Inform everyone. Increase the Shengda Legendary Coin recycling rate and continue to divert traffic from Momo Internet Cafe. We must reduce the Momo Internet Cafe's attendance rate to below 60%! At any cost!"

"Okay." The assistant had no choice but to obey the order and hurriedly left the office.

Chen Zhi sat down slowly, his eyes filled with helplessness and confusion.

Whether it was Chen Hongwen, the veterans of the board of directors, or himself, they had all just recently entered the Internet cafe industry.

They all thought that the Internet cafe industry was just a more advanced video game arcade, but now it seems that it is obviously completely different from what they thought.

Internet cafes have completely jumped out of the competition scope of conventional video game arcades. There are too many tricks involved. They have been using the same methods to expand video game arcades to promote the Internet cafe business. Their previous invincibility has made them think that the Internet cafe industry is nothing special.

But this time when he encountered Momo Group, Chen Zhi realized that the competition between Internet cafes could be so high-end, even like crossing dimensions.

He now only hopes that the group's board of directors can react quickly.

His preliminary layout has now been completed. As long as the group's board of directors is willing to pay about 20 million yuan every month, he will be able to trap Momo Internet Cafe in Jingzhou City.

Twenty million may seem like a lot, but it is only one month's dividends from Internet cafes in three cities including Yantai. As long as the Momo Internet Cafe is trapped, the Internet cafe business in other cities of the group can rest assured.

At this point, if you still can't muster the courage to cut off your own arm, then you're basically doomed.

It is ridiculous that the top board of directors has now listed Momo Group as harmless based solely on a corporate portrait drawn up by an authoritative organization.

If the Internet cafe market in Yantai City is compared to fish, then Momo Group is a cat.

If the cat is not tied up, then when the cat wants to eat the fish it just depends on when it is hungry.

Instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, I imagined that the cat might not like to eat fish.

At this moment, Chen Zhi really wanted to curse.

Three days later, Chen Yafang finally returned from Yanjing City and brought good news to Cheng Yi.

The proposal of their alliance was quickly approved by the National Information Industry Association, and the executive vice president of the National Information Industry Association even asked her to participate in the revision of the proposal.

It can be seen that the National Information Industry Association has been paying attention to the problems of the Internet cafe industry for a long time.

Chen Yafang's trip took a total of seven days. Except for the first three days waiting for the receipt, the other four days were spent in the temporary Internet cafe policy committee of the National Information Industry Association.

"That's roughly the situation." In the coffee shop, Chen Yafang recounted her seven-day experience to Cheng Yi and said with a smile, "Interim measures have been formulated. I estimate that there will be a corresponding announcement in half a month. You must prepare early. I heard that they only plan to issue three chain licenses as a trial run."

"Three?" Cheng Yi was stunned.

If there really are only three licenses, the competition will be too fierce.

He really needs to prepare early.

After separating from Chen Yafang, Cheng Yi returned to the Momo Building.

He sat at his desk, thinking carefully about what to do next.

If he wants to obtain a chain Internet cafe license, he needs to turn the current Momo Internet Cafe into a shocking pilot demonstration unit. If he wants to complete this pilot, he must perform a major surgical operation on the Momo Internet Cafe.

For example, according to the requirements of those saintly experts, Internet cafes are set up to require ID cards to access the Internet, minors are prohibited from entering Internet cafes, each ID card is limited to a maximum of 6 hours of Internet access per day, new green surfing areas are added, computers in the green surfing areas are not allowed to have gaming applications, and citizens with valid ID cards can access the Internet for one hour for free, etc.

In a nutshell, as long as the National Information Industry Association likes to see something, he will put it in.

The main point is that I will provide whatever you like, and I will first maximize the emotional value of those old men in the National Information Industry Association.

Once we get the internet cafe chain license, I'm sorry. A business is a profit-making organization, not a charity. Those green surfing methods are simply not feasible. We can only continue with the old ways...

But if this kind of surgical operation is performed, it will inevitably affect the current development momentum of Momo Internet Cafe.

Perhaps it will also inject new life into the dying Tianqin Internet Cafe.

This Chen Zhi is now like a desperate man, and is clinging to Momo Internet Cafe.

If Chen Zhi is given a chance to survive and continues to pester people like this, the development of Momo Internet Cafe will be greatly hindered.

Chen Zhi's actions are completely harmful to others and not beneficial to himself.

"Boss, our scouts from all over the country have sent us their monthly reports, and this time they've provided some really great news." At this moment, Du Yusheng pushed open the door and walked in, placing a stack of freshly printed documents in front of Cheng Yi. "What news?" Cheng Yi picked up the documents and took a quick look.

Internet Cafe No. 078, Qingyun County, Huaiyang City: According to reliable sources, all internet cafes in Qingyun County have been transferred to Tianqin Internet Cafe. The following is supporting documentation...

Internet Cafe No. 043, Wujiang County, Lianyun City: According to reliable sources, all internet cafes in Wujiang County have been acquired by Tianqin Internet Cafe. The following is supporting documentation...

Internet Cafe No. 092, Hejiang District, Yantai City: According to reliable sources...

Cheng Yi quickly flipped through the documents and murmured, "No wonder. Everything has finally connected. Now I understand why Chen Zhi is fighting us to the death in Jingzhou City."

Du Yusheng said, "The internet cafes in Lianyun City and Huaiyang City all annexed Tianqin Internet Cafe during the Jingzhou Internet Cafe War. There wasn't much publicity at the time, and if it weren't for us 'scouts' asking around in the community, we probably wouldn't have discovered it."

"Chen Zhi is playing a game of chicken with us." Cheng Yi frowned and said, "He has a really good plan. As long as he blocks us on the front line, their industries in the rear will be as stable as a rock. The money they lost in Jingzhou City can be recovered in places like Yantai City."

"Boss, what should we do next?" Du Yusheng said, "This involves other cities, and my brain is not enough."

Cheng Yi stood up and asked, "What's the current attendance rate at Tianqin Internet Cafe?"

"It's already over 40%. They've increased the coin buyback rate at Shengda Legend these past few days, and attendance has increased quite rapidly." Du Yusheng said with some distress, "They're simply messing with us now. With the increase in the coin buyback rate at Tianqin Internet Cafe, many players can now access the internet for free if they play there."

"Many users who are fence-sitters, after spending all the money on their membership cards, ran to the Tianqin Internet Cafe."

Cheng Yi said: "For them, they go wherever it's cheaper, there's nothing wrong with that. As for which games to play, these new players really don't care too much. What they pursue is nothing more than being able to sit comfortably in an Internet cafe and play games."

"We must first cut off Tianqin Internet Cafe's access to Shengda Legend. What is their current gold coin recycling price?" Cheng Yi asked.

"I went to Shengda Legend to play for two days. Now the price of goods in various regions is about 1:8000, and the purchase price of Tianqin Internet Cafe is 1:10000." Du Yusheng replied.

"I heard that Tianqin Internet Cafe pays out over 1 gold coins every day just for recycling," Du Yusheng said. "And their frenzy of collecting gold coins has also led to more stable gold prices across the various servers of Shengda Legend. They buy at a rate of 10000:1 and sell at a rate of 8000: every day. This business is quite successful, and most of the gold coins are bought by Tianqin Internet Cafe users from other places."

"They invest over 100,000 a day, which is enough to control the price of gold coins in the server." Cheng Yi nodded slowly and said, "In general, 10,000 yuan is enough to control the price of gold coins in the server."

Cheng Yi said: "We have to do something big during this period. We can't continue to waste time with them. We have to use some unconventional means."

"Unconventional means?" Du Yusheng was stunned.

Cheng Yi said, "The gold coins they collect every day should be aggregated and stored in several warehouse accounts. Let me teach you a method to swipe gold coins. Send someone to create several accounts and go to the internet cafes in their various districts and counties every day to sell them. Don't sell too many, just ten yuan worth of gold coins in each internet cafe. The gold coins you swipe will be displayed as abnormal in the background. Once the game company discovers an abnormal account, it will definitely ban all accounts with abnormal gold coins within 24 hours."

"If it's a normal player's account, the ban will be lifted after a few days. But for merchant accounts that hoard gold coins, unless the game company is stupid, there is no way they will unblock these accounts."

Du Yusheng said in shock, "Boss, do you have any other way to earn gold coins?"

Cheng Yi nodded and said, "Shengda Legend's regional servers are set up using server groups. One region usually has three servers, and these three servers are constructed through the intranet. This setup method can make the game run more stable and can host more partitions. However, the disadvantage is also obvious. When users switch GS maps, there will be a delay of 1-2 seconds depending on the degree of network latency. This delay will cause the data of the same account to appear on two servers."

"Come on, I'll show you."

Cheng Yi brought Du Yusheng to a game testing room of the game company. There were six Pentium 4 computers with Windows installed in the testing room. He turned on two computers, randomly entered an account and password used by the testing team, and logged into the Shengda Legend game interface.

Both computers appeared on the character selection interface.

"First, log in the same account to two computers, stop at this interface, and then use one of the accounts to enter the game."

Cheng Yi logged one of his accounts into the game and said, "Generally speaking, when a character enters a map belonging to another city from one city, GS will be switched. Each GS server is divided by city."

"Shengda Legend has three GSs, namely Biqi Province, Mengzhong Province, and Bairimen."

"For example, the Serpent Valley is part of Mengzhong Province, and it's also the GS switching point. First, run your character to the entrance of the Serpent Valley and then walk in. At this point, your game screen will go black for 1-2 seconds. This means you've switched from GS1 to GS2."

"At this time, you should quickly log in to this computer." Cheng Yi immediately clicked on the login interface of the second computer to enter the game.

Soon, a miracle happened.

Two identical characters appeared in the game world at the same time.

"This, this, this..." Du Yusheng was stunned.

This is amazing.

Cheng Yi said: "If you trade the gold coins from two accounts to one, it is equivalent to earning twice the amount of gold coins. Remember, from earning gold coins to selling gold coins, you should try to complete it within 24 hours. Their archiving interval should be 24 to 48 hours. During this period, they will monitor abnormal data at any time. Once monitored, the accounts involved will be banned."

Du Yusheng said, "We've only been doing this for a day or two. It shouldn't be enough to stop the Tianqin Group from buying and selling gold coins, right?"

"One or two days is just the time they need to monitor the abnormal data." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "As long as they can't fix this gold coin exploit, you can farm it every day and sell it to Tianqin Internet Cafe every day. The backend can't monitor the game's exploits, so we can only rely on the experience of our technicians to slowly find it. It will take at least a month for them to find the exploit. At the very least, within this month, every account in Tianqin Internet Cafe that collects gold coins will be blocked."

"..." Du Yusheng fell silent. He stared at Cheng Yi blankly and murmured, "Boss, isn't this a bit too vicious?"

"Vicious? That's nothing." Cheng Yi showed an innocent and sunny smile on his face and said, "Compared to the tactics of the opponents we will face in the future, this is just a small drizzle."

"Remember, don't tell anyone about this method of exploiting the vulnerability. Do it quietly by yourself, preferably in the Tianqin Internet Cafe. Then trade the gold coins you earn to others."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Du Yusheng nodded solemnly, turned around and left.

"Remember to wear a mask when you go out." Cheng Yi reminded again.
