Chapter 159 Auto Repair Professional Textbook
"Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it means a good graphics card!"
Like Pan Yang, there are many players who still feel invincible after the new version of "Star Emperor" was updated.
Then, they all paid a heavy price in blood and tears.
There is also a gap between the Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Realm!
The introduction of his method of transformation directly dealt a heavy blow to those supreme immortal emperors who had been dominating the path to immortality for a long time.
What kind of Immortal Emperor are you?
A mere 3090 has no Ti yet, yet he dares to use his method of transformation, and dares to come to the Immortal Road and pretend to be the Immortal Emperor? Brother, I will give you salvation directly on the spot!
"Not to mention, the whistling sound of this high-end flagship graphics card is indeed more powerful than that of mid- to low-end graphics cards!"
Chen Ba said in surprise.
He had just seen a video shared by a player in the fan group. The title was very exciting. It was the kind of video that would immediately shock you when you saw the title.
[A collection of 3090, 3080, 4080, and 4090 howling, the high-end graphics girl’s wailing, you will be addicted to it once you hear it...]
Look, what is professional?
This is called professionalism!
99% of people have never heard the miserable wail of a graphics card with an initial price of 8,000, 9,000, or even tens of thousands of dollars after experiencing unbearable torture.
And this talented UP owner not only compiled the most complete collection of high-end flagship card howling sounds on the Internet, but even made some ghostly sounds into a song.
So talented!
As a netizen said in the comment area: Frankly speaking, this song is not good to listen to, but as soon as you think about the sound made by 3090 and 4090, it immediately becomes pleasant to the ears!
"It's just a psychological suggestion."
Yang Dong was speechless. They were all whistling sounds from the graphics card. What's the difference?
Can you tell whether the sound quality is good or bad?
It's just that the selling price is here, and everyone thinks it sounds good under the psychological suggestion. In fact, regardless of the price of these graphics cards, the howling from high-end flagship cards is more harsh and unpleasant.
As for the reason...
There is actually a big difference between three fans and double fans!
"The 50 series is a great profit!"
Xiao Lu clicked his tongue and said: "Old Huang, why don't you die of joy? A new graphics card has just been released, and we are working so hard to help him bring the goods?"
"He really should be happy."
"But if you want to say that the sales of the 50 series will increase significantly due to this, I'm afraid that's not necessarily true. After all, there are two disruptors in the PC independent graphics market, AMD and Intel!"
AMD's new 8000 series cards are about to be released. By then, based on the starting price and performance, it will probably be determined whether the 50 series can be a big seller.
As for Intel's independent graphics, don't think about it so much for the time being. Let's prove our strength by winning a GAL championship first!
When talking about this, Chen Ba smiled and said: "Intel's independent graphics business seems to have not been specially adapted to other games except "Star Emperor", right?"
"No!"
Yang Dong also wanted to laugh.
Intel really has a soft spot for "Star Emperor", and other games have to adapt to Intel's independent graphics.
Only for "Star Emperor", the game manufacturers were not in a hurry, and the graphics card manufacturers took the initiative to do the adaptation. Even before the new card was released, the adaptation of "Star Emperor" was already done in advance.
This must be a secret love, right?
Intel really wants to prove its GPU strength through the game "Star Emperor".
For this reason, they sponsor a large amount of advertising fees for the GAL League every year. Intel is also the largest advertiser and sponsor of the GAL League, bar none!
Brother Ba was moved to tears.
He actually wanted to say something to Intel, if we really can't make the GPU, there is really no need to waste this money. If you have this money to give to the GAL League, why not just give it to him?
"I hope they can realize their dreams!"
Regardless of the level of strength, Chen Ba still has a good impression of the Intel team and hopes that they can win the GAL annual championship trophy as they wish.
It's hard though...
As time goes by, the cumulative total sales of "Speed" on both consoles and PCs have successfully exceeded 3.5 million copies.
This also refreshed Tianba Studio’s sales record set by “God’s Grace Continent” and became the best-selling game currently.
Chen Ba smiled crookedly.
You know, "Speed" is not cheap to sell, even the standard version costs more than 100 yuan. By this standard, sales across the entire platform are in the hundreds of millions.
Of course, I didn’t get that many.
After deducting the share of the channel dealers, taxes and advertising and promotion fees that should be paid, the actual amount obtained is lower than expected.
"Isn't it strange that the sales volume has increased?"
Chen Ba looked at the sales curve of "Speed" and found that the steam platform has experienced a surge in recent times.
He was curious.
In the days when sales surged, there were no discounts, no recommendations on the steam platform, and there were no new hot topics about "Speed" on the Internet. Why did the sales soar?
"This is related to a well-known private vocational and technical college in China!"
Zhong Shengwei, who often pays attention to the game "Speed", couldn't help laughing when he heard Brother Ba's inquiry: "According to the latest news, this vocational and technical school has included "Speed" in the textbook catalog of the automotive engineering and maintenance major. "
"Lan Xiang?"
Chen Ba could only think of a certain vocational and technical school with a well-known excavator major, and he knew it was them as soon as he heard it.
"They made a start, and soon other vocational and technical schools also discovered that "Speed" can be used for teaching simulations in the auto repair major, so you know..."
How many vocational and technical colleges are there in the country?
There must be thousands of them.
Auto repair, beauty salons, and excavators are all top majors, and there are quite a few children who sign up to learn these.
Based on this premise, it is reasonable for the sales volume of "Speed" to soar. After all, there are so many auto repair apprentices and trainees. It is certainly unrealistic for everyone to buy a copy of the game, but as long as some people buy it, it is not a small amount.
and……
This is mostly required by schools for students majoring in auto repair.
It is also possible that the school bought several copies and installed them on the school's computers so that these students could take turns studying.
"Good guy!"
Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "This is a game! During class time, students are allowed to sit in front of the computer and play games, right?"
"If you can learn knowledge by playing games, then what does it matter? As for games or not, that's the same thing..."
"I said this is a game, and you are poisoning the motherland. No matter how much you explain, it is useless. I said this is professional software that can be used for teaching simulations, so even a game can be used in the classroom. "Yang Dong explained patiently.
He didn't say anything.
That is vocational colleges. Relatively speaking, the management in this regard is not so strict.
"Fine!"
Chen Ba thought for a while, if the game "Speed" can really help some children learn the craft of auto repair and be able to support their families in the future, it would be considered a great merit.
In a sense, they shouldn't even be charging this money.
Personal purchases don’t matter.
But if a special "Speed Race" auto repair teaching simulation is conducted in the name of a school, Tianba Studio can give them a batch of Cdkeys for free without charging any money.
"Let's do this. You go to the official website and post an announcement, saying that in the name of our Tianba Studio, we will give away a batch of computer equipment and "Fast Rush" Cdkey to schools in need for free."
"Computer equipment?"
Yang Dong wondered: "Does this cost a lot of money? After all, a computer that can run "Speed" smoothly cannot be a shabby configuration."
"fine!"
Chen Ba waved his hand and said: "Let's discuss it with Intel, Nvidia, AMD and other companies, and we should jointly do a charity event."
Large accessories are produced by these companies.
Small accessories, cheap accessories, such as chassis, keyboards and mice, etc. are provided by Tianba Studio, so that you can do big things with little money and gain a good reputation.
That's right!
Chen Ba is not afraid to tell others that he just spends money to buy fame, whether it is doing public welfare or charity, all he buys is fame and amulet.
This is not a shameful thing, a gentleman will judge his deeds regardless of his heart.
No matter what he thought, anyway, he took action and spent real money to do it. That is better than someone who does nothing and only talks.
"We are a gaming company!"
Chen Ba emphasized the positioning of the studio, then sighed and said: "It's easy to be attacked, so you really can't be stingy in this regard."
Other companies make billions and tens of billions a year, and everyone will only praise their skills and abilities, but game companies are naturally at a disadvantage in public opinion, and they will be scolded no matter how much money they make.
There is nothing to say.
If he were an ordinary player, he would also join in scolding these game companies.
But now his butt is crooked and he is sitting on the side of a game company, so he naturally wants to protect his reputation and avoid becoming the next pig or goose and becoming the target of netizens' anger.
"Indeed, we have to keep a low profile."
Yang Dong was a former employee of Dachang and knew very well the reputation of Dachang on the Internet.
To put it harshly, a big factory like Zhugoose is a rat that crosses the street and everyone screams for it.
Although Tianba Studio is small in size and not famous enough, in fact, since the beginning of the year, there have been signs of a public opinion crisis.
Fortunately, there is Tianba community.
The healthy operation of the Tianba community has always been the key to keeping the reputation of Tianba Studio from collapsing. After all, these fans who are active in the Tianba community are all die-hard and die-hard fans of the studio.
As long as this basic base remains, there won't be too many people scolding Tianba online.
The premise is that everyone must keep a low profile.
If you show off or bully others all day long, isn't that just waiting to be scolded? It is also a game with a huge turnover, and its popularity is not bad. Why is there no Peace Elite among the famous player groups of Yuan Beng Nong Lu?
This is worth reflecting on.
"Speed" has become a professional software for automotive repair teaching. Tianba Studio sent CD keys to many vocational and technical schools, which once caused heated discussion.
However, compared with the ultimate evolution of the mobile version of "Love Staff" and the first million-person blind date conference, this is still almost interesting.
I’ve heard about it at blind date conferences.
Generally speaking, this kind of blind date conference will slightly exaggerate the number of people. For example, if dozens of people participate, it is a blind date conference for thousands of people. If a few hundred people participate, it is a blind date conference for tens of thousands of people...
But no matter how exaggerated it is, the scale is almost at the top when it reaches "10,000 people".
After all, a blind date conference requires offline venues and organizers, as well as various activities and guest seats. It is already very abstract to have tens of thousands of people. Who would believe it if it advertises a blind date conference with 100,000 people?
As for millions of people…
Dude, are you crazy? What is the concept of millions of people? If Li Yunlong had been of this scale back then, he would have probably knocked down the entire earth.
If you change the platform, change the game, change the software and claim to hold a blind date conference with millions of people participating, everyone will think it is a scam.
But the game "Love Staff" is different, especially after the mobile version is released...
Tianba Studio claims that one million people have signed up, but there may really be one million people! After all, Brother Ba doesn't like exaggerated publicity, and this game does have so many single players of marriageable age.
"To be precise, 1,143,700 people!"
In order to ensure the smooth holding of this million-person blind date conference, Chen Ba specially added several sets of servers and also took corresponding emergency precautions.
He also knew that among the 1.14 million registered players, a considerable number of them signed up with the mentality of joining in the fun.
But no matter what, these are a real million people!
Millions of people are online at the same time, which is undoubtedly a severe test for Tianba Studio, especially the server, which is the top priority.
"Brother Ba, how many pairs of players do you think we can match up this time?"
"I don't know!"
Chen Ba shook his head and said hesitantly: "Based on the matching mechanism and compatibility level of "Love Staff", the success rate should be five thousandths, right?"
This success rate is not low.
You know, not every player who signs up comes here for the blind date. Many people just join in the fun and have no intention of finding a partner at all.
So five out of a thousand is pretty good. Calculated in millions of people, it means that 5,000 players can find a partner through this event.
"too low!"
"Brother Ba, you still underestimated the matching mechanism of the game "Love Staff". In my opinion, there may be a 2% or 3% success rate this time."
Xiao Lu is very optimistic.
In his words, traditional blind date conferences are incomparable to those organized by the "Love Staff".
The matching mechanism of this game determines that the success rate will be much higher than the traditional blind date model.
Turns out, he was right.
Chen Ba still underestimated the accuracy of the game "Love Staff" in grasping human nature. The success rate of players who entered the blind date stage through the system was simply ridiculous.
Two percent? Three percent?
No one expected that at the end of the event, the matching success rate would reach an astonishing 5%.
In other words, in this million-person dating conference, a full 58,000 players were singled out, initially confirmed the relationship, and expressed that they could further enhance their understanding.
This does not mean that everything is done.
It's just a preliminary relationship. Maybe after we go back to get to know each other better, we may decide that they are not suitable for each other and they will break up. But this number of people is already very scary.
Anyway, this event actually shocked the capital. A letter of commendation was sent to Tianba Studio overnight, saying that more events like this with "positive energy", "promoting social harmony" and "giving full play to the advantages of the Internet" should be held.
No money? no one?
These are all fine! If you give money to people, such a good event must continue to be held. If it is really difficult, you can also jointly organize it!
