Chapter 27 Target 100 million units
In the end, Lin You communicated with Qin Songyun about the material cost and selling price of the equipment, and after giving him a clear idea, he sent him to play with his girlfriend.
Qin Songyun was very surprised when he heard the cost. He never expected that the cost of such a high-end technology can be so low!
When he heard that Lin You was planning to set a price of only 10,000 yuan, he was even more surprised. He directly said that the price could be higher, even if it was several times higher, players would be very surprised.
Because even if the price is increased three times, it is less than half of the price of the virtual equipment manufacturer.
After raising the price, there is no doubt that there is a huge benefit to the speed of the company's development.
The more people who buy equipment, the faster the company accumulates wealth, and the more wealth, the more equipment it can produce and achieve rapid expansion.
Otherwise, the scale will not increase. No matter how good the game is, if 100,000 devices are put there, there will be at most 100,000 players.
The second batch will be 200,000 units, the third batch will be 400,000 units, and the fourth batch will be 800,000 units...
But if the price is raised, even if the price is only doubled, after the first batch of 100,000 units is sold out, the second batch can produce 400,000 units! The third batch of 1.6 million units! The fourth batch of 6.4 million units!
This is an exponential process!
He didn't understand why Lin You gave up such a strategy.
"Old Qin." Lin You sighed, "Have you noticed that you are particularly obsessed with time?"
Qin Songyun was stunned for a moment.
Lin You continued: "You are right. The initial pricing determines the speed of our expansion. But how many players can this market produce in total?"
"The total number of domestic players who purchase VR game equipment is about 20 million." Qin Songyun replied subconsciously.
"Yeah, 20 million people, we can't steal all of these players. When VR games were on the rise, there were no players who grabbed all consoles and PCs. In this case, it took us a year to touch the ceiling, or It takes 3 months to touch the ceiling, the difference is actually not big.
So our goal is not to snatch these 20 million players, but to expand this group with all our strength. Our equipment can not only be sold to players, why can’t we sell 30 million units, 40 million units, 50 million units, or even... 100 million units? tower?
And we must not try to take care of both by selling very expensive first, and then drastically reducing the price. That will seriously damage the image of players and us.
I don't think you can't think of these. It's just that you are too obsessed with time unconsciously. "
Lin You's words silenced Qin Songyun, yes, when did he start to be so obsessed with time that he subconsciously rushed to do everything?
It seems...it started from the day Tsubaki was diagnosed...
Seeing Qin Songyun in a daze, Lin You patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, okay, stop thinking about it, go play with your girlfriend."
Seeing Qin Songyun walking in front of Xiao Chun who couldn't wait for a long time, the two walked hand in hand into the distance.
Lin You couldn't help sighing, falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more, it's better to take pity on the person in front of you!
Turning back to the space carrier, Lin You and Xiao Meng watched the live broadcast of these players with relish.
The princess and her girlfriends are progressing the fastest, and the princess has a strong pursuit of progress. Often, her girlfriends want to wander around, but are dragged forward by the princess to push the speed.
The buddies from the media and Xia Yi were not in a hurry to make progress. They carefully searched around every level, trying to find all the runes and murals.
The rest was more casual, and Lin You didn't stare at it all the time. After watching for a while, he dragged Xiaomeng to work.
The surprise for players he mentioned on Consonance came to him halfway through: a demo of the game can be produced first, which is backward compatible with VR, consoles and personal computer devices on the market, so that players on various platforms Players can play to the first two levels first.
When the virtual reality equipment is launched later, even if they want to play the following content, their desire to buy equipment will be stronger.
Although the supply of equipment will be in short supply for a long time, it is always good to do more.
Besides, it's not complicated.
If normal programmers are asked to do this, it will naturally be very troublesome. Just the difference in the operating environment may lead to piles of bugs.
But for Xiaomeng, it is too easy to do backward compatibility with the existing virtual reality, and use the version in Lin You's memory as a reference.
Even considering the computing power limit of the current computer, one hour is enough.
The only price was that during this hour, Xiaomeng had to temporarily stop high-intensity swiping of social software.
Hmm... Lin You thinks this is a good thing. For such a young child, what does it sound like to use social software every day.
This is something grown-ups can do!
While working with her mouth flattened, Xiaomeng looked at Lin You and said, "Huh! Xiaomeng wants to change the calculation parameters! I want to drop the owner's appearance score to the bottom 5%!"
"Let's go down." Lin You waved his hand casually. Anyway, he couldn't imagine that Xiaomeng's appearance rating would have any effect.
The leisurely afternoon passed by like this.
Because Lin You has greatly increased the scope of the map in the virtual reality version, no one can play to the end this afternoon.
Even the princess who had reached the underground entrance before was interrupted by her best friend's water spray, dragging her around, and finally just barely reached the end of the temple level.
The others pushed forward while exploring, and didn't even reach the underground pass.
But when they came out, they all expressed that they were very unsatisfied, and the surprise and disbelief still remained on their faces.
Especially the one-legged girl Xia Yi, even after leaving the virtual world, she still touches her right leg subconsciously from time to time.
But at this time, what she touched was already a metal prosthesis.
But while they had a good time, they didn't encounter any problems or find any flaws that needed improvement.
So Lin You expressed his thanks and sent them off one by one.
When sending Qin Songyun and the others away, Lin You directly gave them two devices, and Qin Songyun and Xiaochun thanked him repeatedly in surprise.
Lin You just waved his hand, and said casually, "It's just a special treatment for employees, and it's just an entry gift. Be careful on the road."
When the princess left, Lin You also handed her the set of equipment she had been playing with and asked her to take it back to play.
The princess looked surprised: "Can you?"
"Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to make it so quickly, wouldn't I?" Lin You said to her gratefully, "And it's also thanks to you that I made up for the important material problem of "Journeyman". Thanks for your help." So busy, where is a piece of equipment, take it back and play!"
The princess took over the equipment happily, and was so excited that she almost bowed to Lin You.
Under the envious eyes of my best friend, we left together.
Lin You didn't give a device to the princess' best friend. First, the two parties didn't know each other well enough to be a gift.
As for the second thing, you have to satisfy the little girl's vanity, don't you?
There is no urgent matter in the future, Lin You thought, how about going to practice shooting after registering the company tomorrow?
Just in the afternoon, Lin You felt a little itchy.
This must not be that he wants to play, but to prepare for the next game!
Yes, what did the writer he liked say?
