Chapter 56 Playing Bigger
An Rusong shook his head. How could he estimate this number? After all, even in his previous life, he had never personally operated such a thing, not to mention that it was a non-public karuta website.
So, he shook his head and said, "Brother Taihe, this is hard to guess, but since you are so happy, it must mean that the website has had a good start and the results should be very good."
"Haha, Rusong, you are such a sly guy!" Liu Taihe was indeed very happy. He pointed his finger at An Rusong and said with a smile, "Yes, it is indeed a good start. From the launch of the website to nine o'clock this morning, in less than thirty-two hours, a total of 247 users registered on the website, and the total recharge from various ports exceeded 1.2 million won."
The corners of An Rushong's lips twitched involuntarily.
1.2 million Korean won, if converted into RMB, is only about 100 million yuan, which does not seem to be a lot. If it is distributed to each registered user, it is only about 50 Korean won per person.
But the problem is that this is the result less than 32 hours after the website was launched. It is just the beginning, the initial stage of the website's investment, when various publicity and recruitment plans have just been implemented. It is foreseeable that from now on, the website will become more and more popular, more people will register, and the income will be higher.
If there were no competitors, it would be possible for such a karuta website to earn hundreds of millions, or even billions of won a day in the future.
After all, the income of Koreans is about to enter the ranks of developed countries, and there is no gambling or betting website specifically for Koreans on the Internet. The one operated by Liu Taihe and his team is unique.
Among the nearly 50 million Koreans, if even only one in ten thousand visits this website, then this karuta website will have 5,000 gamblers.
5000 gamblers, is this number small? To be honest, this number is really not small at all, it is enough to make a website fat.
"Congratulations, Brother Taihe," An Rusong concealed the envy in his heart and congratulated him in a sincere tone, "With this good start, I believe it won't be long before the website's daily revenue will exceed 10 billion won."
He really wasn't flattering the other party. One billion won was only 10 or million RMB. In An Rusong's previous life, there were too many gambling websites that made millions or tens of millions of dollars a day. This was a business that was full of huge profits, and it was also a business that sucked people's blood. Of course, it was also a standard business that was included in the criminal law.
If it weren't for the huge profits, why would so many people risk their lives to do this business?
Of course, An Rushong also believed that as long as Liu Taihe made a lot of money on this website, enough money to make people jealous, then trouble would soon come.
That's right, this guy can use his wealth and power to kick Zhao Chenghao out of the website operation project, and he can also exclude An Rusong, the founder of this website. Then if he switches to someone who is stronger and more powerful than him, he can naturally be kicked out.
Why didn't An Rusong plan to personally participate in the operation of the karuta website? The reason was simple, because he knew he didn't have the ability to do so.
This world has two sides, black and white. On the white side, although there are things like the law of the jungle and plunder, people still have to abide by certain rules. At least they can't be too ugly when trying to please others.
On the dark side, the only rule people follow is the law of the jungle and plunder. There is blood everywhere, and the phenomenon of big fish eating small fish can be seen everywhere.
Imagine if An Rusong ran a regular website, once he made a lot of money, those jealous people would only use some shady means to force him to give up his interests. Here, those who attacked him were the ones who really couldn't see the light.
But if he runs a gambling website, once he makes a lot of money, those jealous people will immediately pounce on him and use all kinds of means to deal with him without any taboos. Because in this game, he himself is the one who cannot be seen in the light, and others can even find a legitimate reason to kill him.
Compared with him, Liu Taihe does have a strong foundation. Even in the eyes of the Zhao Chenghao brothers, this guy is an unbeatable opponent.
But it is foreseeable that once his flower card website really makes hundreds of millions of won a day, those guys who are more arrogant and cruel than him will soon flock to it like flies smelling blood. Among them, there may be one or two people who are attracted to his flower card website and the Damusan Group.
Therefore, An Rushong is very calm now. He is watching Liu Taihe entertaining the guests. In the near future, he will naturally be able to watch his building collapse and finally leave nothing but a clean white mess.
"I hope so," Liu Taihe had no idea what was going on in An Rushong's mind. He was in a state of great complacency, as the saying goes, "When the wind is high, the horse gallops fast." Therefore, the seemingly humble words that came out of his mouth were actually very fake.
"However, even this successful start has given me enough confidence," the guy continued, "The recharge data in the past less than 32 hours fully proves that the path we have chosen is right. There are huge profits hidden in this industry."
An Rusong looked at him and nodded repeatedly to show his approval. "Rusong," Jin Kangmin, who was drinking red wine at the side, interrupted without warning, as if he felt that Liu Taihe was too long-winded, "I heard that Taihe's karuta website was written entirely by you?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Liu Taihe, whose face suddenly darkened, and added, "Am I right? Should I use the word 'write'? Haha, I know nothing about computers. It's hard to imagine that such an interesting website program was written with a bunch of messy letters."
After he finished speaking, he laughed to himself, as if what he said was a very funny joke.
His laughter echoed throughout the living room, and it seemed quite awkward because no one joined in.
An Rushong felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he smiled. The five women who were accompanying him also forced a smile.
However, the woman kneeling next to Liu Taihe was unlucky. She had just forced out a smile when Liu Taihe slapped her in the face.
"Why don't you go and pour wine for us Rushong!" After slapping the woman hard, Liu Taihe took the opportunity to make some comments.
The woman fell to the ground after being slapped, but quickly got up amid Liu Taihe's scolding, poured a glass of wine on the small table next to her, and crawled on her knees to bring it to An Rushong.
After An Rusong took the wine, the woman actually leaned against his legs and didn't go back. Obviously, she was also afraid of Liu Taihe's mood swings.
"Rusong," Jin Kangmin didn't even look at Liu Taihe's ugly face. He shook the red wine glass in his hand and said slowly, "I really want to know, how big is the difference between programming a flower card website and programming a website like blackjack or roulette?"
"This..." An Rushong pretended to hesitate and cast his gaze towards Liu Taihe opposite him.
"What? Brother Taihe, you're not going to keep even this a secret, are you?" Jin Kangmin followed his gaze to look at Liu Taihe, sneered, and spoke slowly.
"Hmph," Liu Taihe snorted, then bent down and took another bottle of red wine from the small table opposite.
In front of this guy, An Rushong had to play the role of a good boy. Therefore, he couldn't answer Jin Kangmin's questions before this guy spoke, which made the atmosphere in the living room become awkward again.
"Brother Taihe, this doesn't seem like a cooperative attitude. I don't see your sincerity at all," Jin Kangmin was not in a hurry. He continued to fiddle with the wine glass in his hand and spoke slowly.
The muscles on Liu Taihe's face twitched. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded to An Rushong.
This guy thought he could completely control An Rushong and that the latter would act according to his instructions, but the fact was that his idea was a complete illusion.
An Rushong could see that the relationship between the two guys in front of him was a bit complicated.
It's not a matter of who is afraid of whom between them, but judging from the current situation, Liu Taihe should have something to ask of Jin Kangmin, and the latter obviously knows that he is running a flower card website and knows that there are lucrative prospects in it.
Therefore, Jin Kangmin also wanted to get involved in this business, but for the time being, he obviously did not intend to compete directly with Liu Taihe, but was thinking of taking another path and setting up some more popular gambling websites.
However, this guy obviously lacks understanding of the current situation of the online gambling circle. He does not know that those more popular projects are a rather closed circle. If he dares to follow Liu Taihe's example and go to the Philippines to set up such a website, he will be killed by people from a certain big country sooner or later.
But An Rushong, who knew this clearly, had no intention of reminding this guy. On the contrary, he planned to add fuel to the other party's greed and make him even crazier.
"There are some differences between the two websites, mainly in the algorithms and cores," An Rusong said happily after receiving Liu Taihe's look. "However, compared to the algorithm of the flower card website, the algorithm of blackjack, roulette, slot machines, and even pinball machines is actually simpler."
At this point, he paused, and then continued: "In fact, if you want to make a similar website program, there is no need to make a single-project website like the Hana card website. Designers can completely write a platform and integrate various gameplays into it, thereby building a large-scale gambling and entertainment platform. In this way, the audience will increase several times, even dozens of times."
