Chapter 1702 Luo Ou
Just like the protagonist in many inspirational stories, Luo Ou's net worth is astronomical to ordinary people. The business genius in the eyes of countless people is actually a child from a poor family.
Of course, in this era and this country, even if one is from a so-called 'poor' background, one cannot afford to eat or go to school. But then again, Luo Ou's family could only It allows him to eat and go to school, but as for other aspects... whether it is material or spiritual, they are all pitifully lacking.
Luo Ou has no shortage of clothes to wear, but he only has a few clothes to wear. We can simply summarize it as 'three years of new clothes, three years of old clothes, and three years of mending and mending'.
Luo Ou is also not lacking in academics. Although the public school he can afford has very average teachers, considering that his own learning level is also relatively average, it is not considered an incompetence.
Luo Ou also has a mobile phone, but it is not a smart phone, but an antique phone that has almost disappeared from the market. Since it is extinct because it is too backward, it does not have the value of a true 'antique'. Its specific use is mainly to follow Call your family, or in extreme cases call 110/120/119 or something.
As for other things, such as computers and handheld consoles, which were already widespread in the early 21st century, Luo Ou, whose family background was not very good, was gone, so he came into contact with The age of 'game' is more than ten years later than most of us.
To be specific, Luo Ou didn’t come into contact with various mainstream games until he went to college. After that, he only saw pigs running around in the past, but this time Luo Ou finally got to eat pork. He completely fell into despair. To put it simply, he became a so-called 'Internet addicted boy'.
Fortunately, Luo Ou’s family didn’t know about a certain professor surnamed Yang who died horribly in legend, nor did they know about their kid who went to college away from home and was addicted to games all day long. Otherwise, this topic might have It will change from an inspirational story to a heavy story describing life in a concentration camp.
All in all, as one of the earlier post-00s generation, Luo Ou basically spent his college life in hysterical fun. As for how crazy he was, to put it simply, he spent four years in college. There is much more time in the Internet cafe than in the dormitory.
Then someone may ask, isn't his family's condition quite poor? How come he has time to surf the Internet every day?
The answer to this question is very simple, that is, Luo Ou is very lucky. On the first day of school, he met a friend who seemed to be polite, but was actually good at eating, drinking and prostitution.
That was a report with him. He was in the same college and in the same dormitory. He was a second-generation super rich man with an extremely naughty personality.
As for the other two roommates, they are the kind of relatively common kids with decent family backgrounds and decent grades. They don’t have a good impression of the rich second-generation classmate who doesn’t do his job every day, although it’s not a big deal. I hate it, but the relationship between them is basically just a nodding acquaintance.
But Luo Ou was different. Not only did he not keep a distance from the super-rich second-generation guy in the opposite bed, he even became a very good friend with the latter, but the reason was not that he had similar interests or shared interests. And so on, but it is very realistic and very philistine - because the other party has money.
Of course, wanting to make friends with rich people is just an introduction and starting point, and subsequent facts have proved that the two of them have the same interests and goals. For example, the super rich second-generation friend invited Luo Ou to go to the house that he considered his family. Internet cafe, and Luo Ou soon regarded the Internet cafe as his home.
In short, after that, the two of them have been staying at the [Little Honghuo] Internet cafe outside the school, which has a rustic name, but the girl at the front desk is super pretty, and the rich second-generation brother is the third Tian Tian applied for two lifetime cards that allowed him to eat and live in Internet cafes, and gave one of them to Luo Ou, who was not polite to him. After all, the cost of applying for a card was just pocket change for him, a brother. He didn't have enough money, so he accepted the favor verbally.
After that, the two began to devote themselves to major games. Although they often played together, their gameplay was completely different. Luo Ou's rich second-generation roommate always adhered to the principle of 'I want them all'. Buy whatever you want on the Internet, and Luo Ou himself is very economical, and in order for the friendship between the two to be sustainable, or at least not to deteriorate too much, he always insists on not getting the lifetime Internet card (including food and accommodation) ) other than any 'funding'.
What they play in are basically mainstream games that are all the rage. To put it simply, they play whatever is popular.
It is worth mentioning that during this process, these two regulars and the particularly beautiful front desk girl, who are also the daughters of the owner of this Internet cafe and the future heirs of [Little Honghuo], went next door during the day When Xiao Liu came home from school at night and stood in front of the receptionist, he formed a deep friendship, and it was a rare and pure friendship.
In short, the three of them spend more and more time playing together and their relationship is getting better and better. The only thing that remains unchanged is their poor gaming level.
That’s right, whether it’s Luo Ou, Luo Ou’s rich second-generation roommate, or Xiao Liu, the future female boss of the Internet cafe, their talent in gaming is hard to describe. To put it bluntly, it’s—— People are addicted to food.
If you want to grade them, then there is no doubt that all three of them are at a 'substandard' level.
But this "incompetent" doesn't mean that they can't do anything, they just simply can't fight.
However, in this era where fighting with monsters and people is inevitable in most mainstream games, 'not being able to fight' is indeed a very fatal problem and will also have a huge impact on the fun of the game. .
The rich second-generation roommate was shocked and chose to use his money power.
The heir to the Internet cafe who was struck down chose a super Buddhist game.
After being hit, Luo Ou turned into a half-professional player who did everything but fight.
His business scope is extremely wide, including but not limited to giving people training, helping as a middleman, selling information everywhere, hiring people to export materials, working as a trader in the trading industry, anyway, he can do anything that can make money. He does everything, and he doesn't work alone. He forms gangs with others in basically any profession. He has a very wide network of contacts and is considered a handsome social butterfly among third-rate professional players.
The rich second-generation roommate was the one who patronized Luo Ou's business most often in the early days. Of course, the two of them were familiar with each other, but Luo Ou never cheated him, and all transactions ended in return. The original price, even if the latter just listened to the number and then picked up the phone to transfer the money directly, without even thinking for a second.
As for Xiao Liu at the front desk, she is very economical. Although she always prostitutes Luo Ou for free, she often helps him go to the market to scan goods, check prices, and even settle accounts when the other party is short of manpower. She does not suffer too much from him.
In short, Luo Ou achieved financial independence in this way. Just as his family expected, his destiny changed in college, although the way of this change was a bit subtle.
And his studies were naturally abandoned. Although Luo Ou had not failed the class since his freshman year because of his extremely harmonious relationship with the teachers of various subjects, but based on his professional level, It is not realistic at all to find a good job in a related field after graduation.
But it doesn’t matter. Luo Ou, who has achieved economic freedom, has already planned his future and made up his mind to drop out of school in the second half of his junior year to concentrate on his career as a professional gamer. Of course, this idea was criticized by His relatively feudal family members unanimously opposed it. After all, at that time, although society had opened up a lot in the last century, game practitioners were still unpopular in the eyes of some people.
But Luo Ou easily convinced his family, and the whole process did not even take more than five minutes.
To put it simply, he took out the money he earned from being a professional gamer for two years and bought a three-bedroom, one-living house in his hometown that was not of high quality but had a pretty good environment. He handed over the keys and the house book together. Gave it to his father.
Dad Luo was also unambiguous and threw the keys and the house book back, happily saying: "I agree with you to play games. You can keep these things for yourself to use when marrying your wife."
As a result, Luo Ou, who was in his prime and high-spirited at that time, shook his head. , said sternly to his father: "No, the house I use to marry my wife is a villa after all, this is not high enough."
Then he was symbolically whipped a few times by his father, and in I left home with a burst of laughter and returned to the [Little Honghuo] Internet Cafe.
That year, Luo Ou, who was only 21 years old, had already established the studio [Fire Red], and one of his best friends was also the base of [Fire Red] studio, [Little Honghuo] 】Liu Hong, the young owner of the Internet cafe (and the girl at the front desk) also officially joined the group and became The second-in-command and financial person in charge of [Fire Red], they were surrounded by a total of more than 20 people from the same city, and nearly 60 online collaborators and nominal employees. Although the scale was small, their reputation and reputation had already gained some The recognition of the player group can be said to be quite healthy.
But it's a pity that there are only two people left in the original threesome. The reason... It's not that the two brothers broke up because of the girl's affairs, nor because of the conflict of interests, but because of the rich second-generation brother. His father died suddenly of a heart attack. As an only son, he had no choice but to go back and inherit the family business. He dropped out of school a year ago.
But even so, Luo Ou has always kept in touch with him, and their friendship can be said to be quite stable.
Two years later, Luo Ou, who had acquired 40% of the shares of [Little Honghuo] Internet Cafe and more than tripled the size of the studio, and whose net worth had exceeded the seven-digit mark, went crazy. I felt that this was not going to work, and decided to use [Fiery Red Studio] as the basis to develop in a formal enterprise model, and set my own small goal of establishing a 'first-class club'.
Unsurprisingly, everyone around him felt that Luo Ou was floating, crazy, and inflated. Except for Liu Hong, a good friend, including the owner of [Little Honghuo] Internet Cafe, who was Liu Hong The father who had long regarded Luo Ou as his prospective son-in-law was not optimistic about this decision. In the end, he even had a complete quarrel with Luo Ou over this and threatened to kick him out. And Luo Ou was also stubborn. Not only did he leave without waiting for the boss to clean him up, he even took his daughter with him.
Of course, Luo Ou felt great about running away in style, but he also faced the most depressing five minutes in his life.
When the studio was in danger of falling apart and even losing its base, Luo Ou sighed and led Liu Hong for five minutes on the street at 3:30 in the middle of the night, and finally ended up at the nearest Internet cafe. He stopped in front of the bus stop, took out his mobile phone and called his rich second-generation friend. The specific exchange between the two at that time was as follows:
"Hey, Mani."
"Sleep, what are you doing?"
"I wanted to do something big, but I ended up having a falling out with my uncle, and now I am walking on the street with Liu Hong hungry and cold."
"Mao?"
"Brother is in despair."
"Don't think I don't know that you will keep at least hundreds of thousands in your hands."
"You Just pretend you don’t know.”
“Okay, is there anything I can do to help?”
"Yes."
"Say."
"Lend me some money."
"How much?"
"One thousand."< br>
"Yuan?"
"Ten thousand."
"When will I pay it back?"
"I will be successful and have a successful career."
"Forward it to you. ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, I'll go to sleep, good night."
"Good night."
The above is the entire conversation between the two that night.
One year later, [Red Star Network Technology Co., Ltd.] with the legal person Luo Ou was formally established, and in the same year completed a Series A financing with a total amount of 30 million.
