Chapter 34: Radish Ranger
Chapter 34: Radish Ranger
Dapeng Building, Junggok-dong, Gwangjin-gu.
An Rushong, wearing a dark blue suit, hurried out of the main entrance of the building. When he reached the sidewalk, he turned his head and glanced at the towering building. His tightly pursed lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile flashed across his face.
The 16th floor of this building is the Seoul branch of the Small and Medium Enterprise Bank of Korea. Just now, he successfully obtained a support loan of 3 million won from this bank. The annual interest rate for the one-year loan is only 1%, which is really very favorable.
Not only is the interest rate low, but the loan will also be credited very quickly. According to the bank staff, the loan will be transferred into the toy factory's bank account within the next 24 hours.
3 million won, this amount of money is not a lot, but it is not small either. At least it is enough to pay for the advertising fees of "Two Days and One Night" - just yesterday, he had signed a product placement contract with the Broadcasting Advertising Corporation, and the total cost of advertising placement for the two programs is only 1.5 million won.
An Rushong was very satisfied with the price. To express his gratitude to Cui Li'e BD, he gave her an extra-large screaming chicken, the biggest one, the one that was as tall as a person.
Tomorrow, as soon as the loan from the Small and Medium Enterprise Bank arrives, An Rushong will pay the advertising fee in one lump sum to the Radio Advertising Commune. A week later, the Screaming Chicken toy will appear in the first episode of "Two Days and One Night".
In fact, the toy factory had started recruiting temporary business promotion personnel two days ago. However, because it was a brand new toy and all the work had just begun, the promotion effect was not very good. But An Rushong was not in a hurry at all. He was full of confidence now.
Taking his eyes away from the towering office buildings, An Rushong looked at his watch again and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning, so he hailed a taxi and went to KSE Entertainment on Liling Road, Shuixidong.
Before going out this morning, he had already contacted Zhao Chenghao, and the two agreed to meet at KSE Entertainment to discuss the promotion of the Dihuo plug-in.
When Zhao Chenghao changed the accommodation for Yuan Ya and her sister two days ago, he mentioned the problem of the counterfeit version of the Earth Fire plug-in. In this regard, An Rusong investigated it in the past two days.
Indeed, on Yahoo Downloads today, there are already four or five "Dungeon & Fighter" plug-ins similar to the Dihuo plug-in, and two of them are even free.
But to be honest, these imitation plug-ins are not as stable as the Dihuo plug-ins because they were released in a hurry.
Don't underestimate stability. You should know that with the emergence of the Dihuo plug-in, the official of "Dungeon & Fighter" has begun to crack down on plug-ins. They will take short-term account penalties against some plug-in users who are monitored.
The official monitoring method is mainly based on the balance of player character damage output. When using skills, the damage output of the Earth Fire plug-in is unstable, and the problems of those imitation plug-ins in this regard are even more obvious.
Therefore, in the official crackdown on plug-ins, players who use counterfeit plug-ins are more likely to be banned.
In addition, there is another problem with those counterfeit plug-ins, that is, hacking accounts. Especially for the two free plug-ins, the plug-in writers simply use hacking accounts to earn income. This has been disclosed by many players on the Yahoo forum.
Taking the above two factors into consideration, users of the Dihuo plug-in still account for the majority, and in the past period of time, the number of paying users of the plug-in has been growing rapidly.
Although the Huapai website project failed, Zhao Chenghao still regarded An Rusong as a good friend, and even generously gave his old house to An Rusong's two lovers for free.
why?
There are only two reasons: first, Zhao Chenghao's personality is so carefree that he will be friends with anyone he thinks is a good friend. Second, it is because An Rusong really made him money.
The Dihuo plug-in has been online for more than half a month. At present, the number of paying users this month alone has exceeded 14. In addition, nearly 4 Japanese supporters have paid the fees.
Even if we do not consider the more expensive monthly card fees for Japanese users, and calculate based on the monthly payment standard of 13000 won, in the past half month, a simple Earth Fire plug-in has brought more than 22 billion won in revenue to the Southern Cave School. Even if we deduct the part that An Rushong took, it is still a huge sum of nearly 20 billion won.
Just imagine, facing such a God of Wealth, who could not regard him as a close friend?
Of course, even if a plug-in similar to the Dihuo plug-in has appeared on the Internet now, An Rushong will not worry, because he has already developed an upgraded version of the Dihuo plug-in, which was the "Carrot Ranger" in his previous life, which did not appear until early 2009.
That’s right, it’s the paid plug-in launched by that doctor.
Compared to the Earth and Fire plug-in, the Carrot Ranger with a built-in damage balance system not only makes the skill output more stable, makes up for the defect that the game is prone to disconnection due to the use of plug-ins, but also makes it difficult for the official monitoring system to detect the existence of plug-ins.
Today, An Rushong came with a disk. He planned to hand over the "Carrot Ranger" to Zhao Chenghao and let him wait for a while, and then use this new plug-in to replace the old version of the Earth Fire plug-in.
The taxi drove to the KSE Entertainment Building on Liling Road. An Rushong paid the fare and when he got off the car, he saw two girls wearing black tight T-shirts and denim skirts walking towards him from the right side of the sidewalk, talking and laughing. Although both girls were wearing the same blue baseball cap, An Rushong still vaguely recognized them. They seemed to be trainees of KSE Entertainment.
Sure enough, when An Rushong walked onto the sidewalk, the two girls also saw him. Obviously, the girls also recognized him. When they were still more than ten steps away from him, the two girls bowed to him from a distance.
An Rusong smiled and returned the gift, then walked into the KSE Entertainment building first. It was still the same shabby lobby, but the rice cookers stacked against the wall when he came last time were gone, and instead, there were a bunch of huge stuffed bears in bags.
Each of these things is half a person's height and is covered with gray fur. If you put one in your bedroom, it would look quite cute. But if you pile hundreds of them together, the cute feeling would disappear and instead make people feel inexplicably eerie.
There were still two young men squatting in the corner of the front hall. When they saw An Rushong coming in from outside, the two guys quickly stood up and bowed.
An Rusong bowed slightly to them, and then walked quickly towards the stairs. After walking a few steps, he thought of something, turned around, picked up a stuffed bear from the pile, and carried it upstairs.
It was still the office on the second floor. The white door was closed. An Rushong walked to the door and raised his hand to knock on it.
After waiting for a while, there was no response from the office. He frowned and knocked on the door again.
Just as he was about to knock on the door for the third time, the tightly closed door was opened from the inside, and a woman with long hair, wearing a white shirt and a black skirt, walked out with her head lowered.
The woman looked as if she was too ashamed to face anyone. She walked past An Rushong with her head lowered, walked quickly towards the stairwell, and turned downstairs after a while.
An Rushong watched the woman's back disappear around the corner of the stairs before he pushed the door open and walked in.
In the small office, Zhao Chenghao was standing behind his desk tying his belt. The desk in front of him was in a mess. An Rushong took a look and found a pair of purple panties and a torn flesh-colored stockings left at the foot of the desk.
"Ai Xi!" Zhao Chenghao glanced at An Rusong and complained while adjusting his pants, "You came at the right time!"
An Rusong ignored his complaints. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He grabbed a pack of cigarettes from the corner of the table, took out a cigarette, and said jokingly with a smile, "Why, did Xin hire a secretary?"
"Secretary?" Zhao Chenghao looked at him puzzledly, "What secretary?"
An Rusong lit up the cigarette, pointed toward the door with the hand holding the lighter, and said, "Isn't that woman your newly hired secretary? I've never seen her before."
"Oh, you mean her," Zhao Chenghao suddenly realized, "What kind of secretary is this? She's just a poor woman who owes money. Her husband owes me money and can't even pay the interest. She has to do something, otherwise I would have sold her gambling husband to Southeast Asia long ago."
Okay, just pretend I didn't ask.
An Rushong rolled his eyes. He was in no mood to persuade the guy in front of him to be kind. They were gangsters, not a charity. What's more, he couldn't even tighten his own belt, so what right did he have to criticize others?
"Here's this for you," An Rushong said, leaning over on the sofa, taking out the USB drive from his trouser pocket and throwing it on the desk.
"What is this?" Zhao Chenghao asked curiously.
"It's version 2.0 of the Dihuo plug-in," An Rusong explained. "In 12 days, our Dihuo plug-in will be officially online for a month. In other words, the monthly fees of the first batch of paying users should be renewed. You should upload the new version of the plug-in to the Internet before the new payment month starts."
"Is it better than the version 1.0 you said?" Zhao Chenghao picked up the USB drive and asked.
"It is more stable and less likely to be detected by the authorities," An Rusong said. "In short, compared to version 1.0, the new version will be more stable."
"OK!" Zhao Chenghao snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go and try it out."
After saying this, he started walking towards the door. An Rusong smiled, stood up and followed him.
After leaving the office, Zhao Chenghao went straight to the stairwell and then went up to the third floor.
An Rusong followed behind him, and when he saw this guy going to the same dance studio again, his face changed slightly. At this moment, the image of the "sissy" whose figure and personality were totally inconsistent appeared in his mind again.
