He successfully led the team to conquer the difficulties from a deficit of nearly hundreds of thousand per month in profit. The team, in that time, might lead to was disbanded. However, Levi didn’t give up. He then used his management skills to integrate all resources and strategically deployed many servers to provide more services to gain much more revenue. Finally, he succeeded in turning the tide from hundreds of thousand deficits to nearly one million in profit.
