How to Make Quick Money

At Haizhou Hotel

In an almost empty private room, a large table is located in the middle. If the four people were sitting apart from each other, they would be unable to hold a normal conversation.

Simply put, the four people were seated next to each other.

The order was Li Dawu, Dad Li, Li Mu, and then Chen Wan.

Chen Wan was happy, mainly because she unloaded a psychological burden. After the examinations at the hospital, Li Mu didn't have many problems, except that the abrasion on his head temporarily ruined his appearance.

Li Dawu and Dad Li didn't want Chen Wan to spend money, but Chen Wan insisted and kept saying she didn't mind, and Li Mu agreed to it. In the end, Li Mu's parents went along with them to the private room.

Li Mu was fortunate that his mother was attentive. While Li Mu was waiting for his results, his mother went home and got him a change of clothes so that he could be clean and sit next to Chen Wan.

"I'm telling you, but you don't believe me! After I was hit by the car, I felt like I got smarter. Normally, I would get 90 to 100 marks on the English test, but today I feel like I got 120 marks!"

"Really?" Chen Wan's eyes were almost glaring at him.

Li Mu raised his eyebrows proudly.

"No falsehood!"

"Don't open your mouth!" Dad Li cursed with a smile.

"If you don't get 120 marks, see what happens when you get home!"

Li Mu said seriously, "Dad, if I don't get 120 points, I will be unable to bear the shame of walking through our front door!"

"Don't say that," Li Ma on the side said quickly, "Son, it doesn't matter whether you did well on the test or not. You'll always be my son."

Li Mu sighed, "My mother doesn't even believe me. Fine, let's see when the college entrance exams are announced."

Dad Li immediately clapped, "Son, if you get 120 in English, Dad will buy you a laptop!"

In the past few months, one had to pay around 10,000 yuan for any laptop, and that was his father's salary for a year.

Li Mu knows there isn't that much in savings at home.

He is a programmer and coder who had been working on his craft for over ten years. He naturally wants to own a computer again. However, he couldn't bear to ask his parents for a computer.

In fact, Li Mu had already made up his mind. Not only for the computer, but he was going to earn enough money during summer vacation for his first year of tuition during college and miscellaneous fees.

As a person who went back in time, if I can't earn enough money during my summer vacation, then shame on me!

Li Mu's words, however, shocked those around him.

In 2001, only the employees of the state-owned enterprises with good returns were earning at most a few of thousand yuan a month. How could a high school student earn 10,000 yuan in two months?

In the face of three pairs of extremely surprised and unconvinced eyes, Li Mu cleared his throat.

"I am serious and I am confident!"

Chen Wan couldn't help asking, "Student Li Mu, how are you going to make enough money to buy a computer in two months? Do you know how much this sister's IBM-T20 cost? Over 20,000 yuan!"

Chen Wan wasn't showing off her wealth, but she was only reminding Li Mu that while the cowhide is easy to blow, it doesn't blow up. It was a technical job.

"You don't need to worry about it, anyways, I can do it with confidence!"

His words are imposing, but when one calms down and analyzes it, no one would believe him.

The internet in 2001 was still a growing baby, and no one could guess how it would develop in the future, except for Li Mu.

Moreover, no one can guess the technical trend of how mobile internet and how it will develop in the future, except for Li Mu.

This is why he dares to brag in front of his parents and Chen Wan.

However, when he carefully thought about it, Li Mu realized that the probability of making money using the internet was quite low.

In the future, hao123, which was valued over 100 million yuan was established as early as 1999. i was in basic operation for more than two years now, and it is still quite basic. Moreover, it would be another three years until it would be acquired bu Baidu. As a navigation site, it would take another year or two to catch up with hao123's reputation, which made no money in the short-term.

Tencent QQ has millions of users. Even if he wants to make a better software, it will only take around six months before he finishes. However, he doesn't have the money to promote it himself because Tencent was already starting to become popular. Ma Huateng was also great at imitation, and Li Mu can't match with him there, so no money could be made here either.

Not only QQ, but he can't make any of the many other generations of software, as he still doesn't have a computer. Even if he was given a computer from the future, the code must menially be typed out one by one, not to mention the money needed for subsequent promotions about it. Despite that, profits are calculated annually, which meant that quick money wouldn't be made.

Even if he imitates Cai Wensheng and started registering a bunch of Shaugpin domain names, it would only start to begin to making money in 2005. The trendy domain names of the future, such as WeChat, Car Rental, Taobao, and etc, haven't been brought to light by the Xinhua dictionary yet, so no money can be made there either.

What I can think of now are project that require several years to develop and hatch, but I only have a deadline of two months.

"Would you like to start writing a novel? The starting point of one should be easy."

He didn't know who the idea came from, but it was quickly rejected by him.

Looking at the potential egg, let's not take into account the frauds that would replicate it. Even if he started writing today, he would have to sign a contract, write over 300,000 words, and then it would already be early September. The earliest he would get any money would be mid-October.

I can't see money for at least three months. Will I have to go to the streets and work there? Those three months of work were all s***.

Li Mu suddenly thought if he made a keyword list of what would happen in 2001, what could he think of?

Bush Jr. took office, the WTO accession, China's successful bid for the Olympics, the national football appearances, the suspension of NetEase, the Internet bubble...

Because it was too far back, Li Mu could only think of the more sensational events and some of the international affairs, which was basically impossible to make money off of.

The three people around him were eating, and Li Mu frowned.

He felt like he overlooked something crucial, but he wasn't able to recall it.

At that time, Chen Wan asked Li Ma about Li Mu, "Auntie, does Xiao Mu usually study hard?"

Li Ma smiled slightly, "Actually, I don't know all too well. I'm usually busy working with his dad, and I have shifts during the morning, the afternoon, and the evening. Sometimes I have to go back to work. I really don't know if he studies hard or not."

Chen Wan looked at Li Mu and in daze and teased, "I guess when they're not home, you run to play at internet cafes. Boys around your age usually like to play in internet cafes and are always obsessed with some games."

"Games?" Li Mu heard this word, and his eyes flashed.

Aunty, how could I forget games?

Excited, Li Mu stretched out his right hand and grabbed Chen Wan's tender and soft left hand and shaking it a few times.

"Sister Wan, you're amazing!"
