HK1108 The Bad Idea that the Storm Gave Shi Lei!

.

Shi Lei was thinking, what price should VR gaming helmets be sold at?

Dong Guoguo made a preliminary estimate of the manufacturing cost of the VR game helmet, which is about 2,000 Xia Guoyuan, which is not particularly high, and is completely within Shi Lei's acceptance range.

However, the VR game helmet costing two thousand Xia Guoyuan is only the most basic version without whdi technology. If whdi technology is added, the cost price will increase by one thousand yuan.

Shi Lei has been undecided about whether to load the whdi technology into the VR game helmet as a configuration highlight of the second-generation personal game server.

If it is executed according to the maximization of interests, the cost of whdi technology should be allocated to the second-generation personal game server, because 10% of amd's shares belong to the original management; while the vr game helmet belongs to 100% of dream entertainment company .

However, if the vr game helmet has whdi technology, it is more attractive, the price of the vr game helmet can be higher, unlike the second generation of personal game servers, it is difficult to increase the price.

After the "clarification announcement" on the official website of Dream Entertainment was released, many players expressed their disappointment. They were full of hope that Dream Entertainment was developing a holographic virtual game helmet, but the result was not the case.

However, the number of players in this part is not too many, and most players can understand that the holographic virtual game helmet is always a science fantasy, and it is very difficult to realize with the current science and technology.

The VR gaming headset described in Dream Entertainment's "clarification announcement" is actually very attractive. After all, fully immersive first vision display devices were also science fiction before.

The super rich storm is also a bit disappointed, but for the VR game helmet. Storm also expressed a taste of interest. Since more information could not be obtained on the official website and official forum, the storm took out the phone. After hesitating for a while, he finally dialed Shi Lei's number.

Shuangqing City. Jingya Garden.

Shi Lei looked at the caller ID with a surprised expression, and said to himself, "Storm? What is this guy calling for? Is it because of the VR game helmet?"

Once, Shi Lei borrowed Storm's private jet in order to quickly return to the Xia Kingdom, and the two had a bit of a personal friendship.

He pressed the answer button, before waiting for Shi Lei to speak. Storm has already taken the lead to speak, "Mr. Shi, good morning, I want to ask. What is the situation of your company's VR gaming helmet?"

A smile appeared on Shi Lei's face, and as expected, Shi Lei explained the VR game helmet in detail, and finally said: "Although the VR game helmet cannot achieve the function of the holographic virtual game helmet in science fiction, but The VR game helmet has greatly improved the look and feel of the game, and players will have a real first vision!"

After hearing Shi Lei's description, Storm suddenly looked forward to the VR game helmet. "Mr. Shi, when does Dream Entertainment plan to release the VR game helmet? I need to pre-order one first!"

Shi Lei deliberately showed a hesitant attitude, preparing to release a message to the players through the storm, "Storm, based on our personal friendship, I can tell you that the release date of the VR game helmet cannot be determined for the time being. Except for some technical reasons. In addition to the problem, it is also because of the cost. The cost price of the VR gaming helmet is too high, we dream of an entertainment company, and we do not know how much to price it.”

Although the initial positioning of Brave World is a high-end game, the price of a package and beta invitation code has been hyped to the level of several thousand yuan, but there are currently more than 15 million players, of which only less than one-tenth of the high-end players.

Shi Lei hopes to sell VR game helmets to more players, not just high-end players.

The storm thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Shi, if the cost and price of the VR game helmet is not a commercial secret, can I know?"

"This, I can't disclose it for the time being!" How could Shi Lei reveal the cost price of the VR game helmet, which is only 2,000 yuan? "So let me tell you, if the price of the VR game helmet is less than two thousand dollars, our dream entertainment company will lose a part of the research and development cost."

Shi Lei directly changed the currency unit of the cost price, from Xia Guoyuan to US dollars, the current gap between the two was eight times!

Don't blame Shi Lei for being too dark, but because, with more than 300% of the profits, capital dares to trample all laws in the world! What's more, Shi Lei wants to get more than ten times the profit, why is he afraid to do it?

"A mere two thousand dollars, it doesn't seem to be expensive!" Storm said with some disapproval.

Shi Lei was helpless and depressed, "Storm, you are not short of money, of course you don't think two thousand dollars is much! Even in the Lijian country, two thousand dollars is an ordinary person's four-week salary. As for the Xia country, two thousand dollars is converted into one Sixteen thousand Xia Guoyuan, with this amount of money, many people don’t have that much savings for a year, understand?”

Feng Feng said embarrassingly: "Are the people of Xia country so poor?"

"You know something!" Shi Lei took the language of later generations, "Xia Guo's situation is special, you don't understand, I don't blame you."

"Mr. Shi, since most people can't afford it, why don't you increase the price of VR game helmets? According to the situation in Brave World, according to my personal analysis, the sales volume of VR game helmets can reach at least 500,000 units. If you dream of an entertainment company, selling each unit for $5,000, and intending to make a profit of $2,000 per unit, then the total profit for half a million units is a billion dollars, which is no small sum!" Storm came up with a bad idea for Shi Lei and directly raised the price to five thousand dollars.

"Huh?" Shi Lei's eyes lit up, "Storm, the price of five thousand dollars, are you sure players will accept it?"

"Mr. Shi, players from other regions, I don't know very well. High-end players in our Lijianguo region have absolutely no problem with spending $5,000 on game equipment!" Storm said confidently.

Shi Lei thought for a while, but Shi Lei did not fully agree with what the storm said, even in the Lijian Kingdom area, not all rich people. The price of five thousand dollars is almost equivalent to a medium personal game server, and the sales volume is really not guaranteed.

"If the retail price is five thousand US dollars, our dream entertainment company will definitely be willing to launch VR gaming helmets as soon as possible. However, I am worried that this price will not be accepted by players!" Shi Lei expressed his concerns.

Storm is ready to come up with a bad idea for Shi Lei again, "Mr. Shi, if it's just because I'm worried about sales, I have a good idea that can definitely solve the problem without adding any cost."

"What good idea?" Shi Lei asked curiously.

Storm's identity background is not simple. He is not only a simple playboy, but also a business genius. Part of the business in the family is left to Storm to take care of.

"Mr. Shi, Dream Entertainment has a strong reputation, and Brave World has a very high popularity. You can set up a pre-sale system for VR game helmets on the official website of Dream Entertainment!" Storm said the notorious sales of later generations. Way.

Pre-sale, futures, snap-up....

These bad ideas are all notorious sales tactics in later generations!

"Pre-sale?" Shi Lei experienced the sales bombing of those disgusting mobile phone merchants in later generations, and he understood the meaning of the storm in an instant, "Storm, you mean, we sell concepts, collect money in advance, only accept full-payment reservations, product production After it comes out, it will be shipped, right?"

Storm responded affirmatively: "That's right! As long as the full payment is received in advance, your company will have no sales pressure. The products produced have been sold in advance, so there is no loss. Is this a good way?" said.

"Not bad! Very good!" Shi Lei had to praise, all the risks and pressures, all borne by the customer. Of course, if the VR gaming headset produced by Dream Entertainment is really worth the money, pre-sale is a good way.

If the VR game helmet has a very poor physical feel and is not worth five thousand dollars at all, then Dream Entertainment will probably suffer a lot of infamy and even damage the company's image.

"Mr. Shi, you dream of an entertainment company. After the pre-sale started, in order to support you, I would like to order 100 sets of VR game helmets directly!" Storm showed by example that he was willing to be a guinea pig.

Shi Lei said with a smile: "Storm, aren't you afraid of VR gaming helmets, is it just a way for our dream entertainment company to fool players?"

"Don't be afraid!" Feng said with certainty, "It is not difficult for your dream entertainment company to make money, so there is no need to cheat."

A worldwide online game with more than 15 million registrations, it is really not difficult to make money!

You can make a lot of money by just selling a little item or charging a card!

"Okay! Storm, I decided to adopt your suggestion and open a pre-sale system for VR game helmets on the homepage of Dream Entertainment's official website. In addition, let me tell you one more piece of information, the second-generation personal game server may play with VR games. The helmet will be released at the same time, and it will be very convenient to use the two together at that time!" In order to ensure the sales of the second-generation personal game server, Shi Lei had to take a wicked way, choosing the VR game helmet to be paired with the second-generation personal game server. Sales.

After all, the first generation of personal game servers was sold not long ago, the personal game server market is basically saturated, and players have little desire to replace personal game servers.

If you want players to change personal game servers, you can only use evil ways!
