Chapter 1426 Why Are You Still Buying?

"I'll see the feedback from the players in two days."

Pei Qian didn't pay too much attention to this matter, as long as Meng Chang is still working hard to pursue the commission, he is trustworthy.

Whether this publicity plan is actually feasible or not is still unclear.

Although the news of "Ghost General 2" came out, and the demonstration video of the actual combat was released, which also caused some repercussions among the "Ghost General" player group, but after all, the popularity has not yet spread.

Most of the people who are looking forward to "Ghost General 2" are old players of "Ghost General" and fighting game fans. This group of people only accounts for a small part of the player group, and their attitude does not represent anything.

The investment in "Ghost General 2" is very large. Whether it can pay back the cost depends on how far it breaks the circle and how many non-fighting game players are willing to pay for it.

If only fighting game players like it, then the best result is not to make money at best.

Therefore, Pei Qian is not in a hurry, and plans to observe and observe.

At this stage, he still has many more important things to do.

"Let me see how Safe and Civilized Driving is going?"

"Um……"

"The popularity of the game is very high, but the sales volume is not bad, a little bit better than I imagined."

Pei Qian first took a look at the game sales of "Safe and Civilized Driving", and found that it was not as popular as many other Tenda games.

The game "Safe and Civilized Driving" itself has a huge investment, and it is true that these sales volumes cannot recover the cost in the short term.

As for why sales are more optimistic, Pei Qian also roughly guessed.

The main reason is that this game mode has made great achievements!

At present, most of the racing games on the market are similar. The difficulty of getting started in the early stage is very low, and the keyboard and handle can be controlled relatively well.

Even some particularly hard-core driving simulation games will at least add a driving assistance system, so that players can successfully run through the entire process at the beginning after entering the game.

But "Safe and Civilized Driving" is not only a very hard-core driving simulation game, but also innovatively added a driver's license test link!

This link is the ultimate persuasion for controller and keyboard players.

Of course, some keyboard and joystick masters can pass the driver's license test with their superb micro-manipulation, but such masters are a minority after all, and it takes a lot of time and effort.

Therefore, this driver's license test dissuaded many people.

I took the driver's license test a few times, but I couldn't pass it, and then I looked at the time, and it happened to be within the refund time.

Then why hesitate? Refund it!

This time there is no official ridicule like "Return to the Shore", and the players are very determined to refund the refund.

After buying a steering wheel and passing the driver's license test, the experience of this game will indeed rise in a straight line, but most players can't stick to this step.

To play games, I spent thousands of dollars to buy a steering wheel, which means that if you give me a plate of vinegar, I will also make a special meal of dumplings?

Many people have this kind of mentality, so they would rather choose to be a cloud player and watch the anchor fail the driving test again and again, rather than suffer in the game by themselves.

So there is the current situation: many keyboard, mouse and controller players have been persuaded to quit, and many players are hesitating whether to buy a steering wheel and waiting to see.

Although the game "Safe and Civilized Driving" has aroused heated discussions on the Internet, it has only attracted the popularity to the live broadcast circle and the hardcore driving simulation player circle for the time being. It has not really broken the circle and reached the level of some racing games. "National Game" level.

After reading this, Pei Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

so far so good!

After Pashat's collision result came out, Pei Qian was still worried for a long time, fearing that the game's collision function would trigger some terrible chain reaction and cause the game to explode.

But now it seems that the situation is not so bad?

Although the popularity has indeed risen, it seems that it has not affected the sales of the game for the time being.

Although many people on the Internet are playing about Pashat's matter as a meme, which has caused a heavy blow to the sales of the new Pashat in China, but most of them will not be ashamed just because a certain game revealed Pashat's quality problems. Choose to buy it?

Pei Qian couldn't help feeling a little more at ease.

"How about the sales of Kangkang safe and civilized driving simulator?"

"Well...it's okay."

Judging from the sales data, there is no sales boom like the automatic bar lifter and smart fitness clothes hanger, and there is no out-of-stock situation on the product details page, which seems to be pretty good.

"It's perfect!"

Pei Qian couldn't help being a little surprised, the current situation was beyond his expectation.

The game didn't explode, and the simulation equipment didn't explode. Isn't that a big success?

The current Pei Qian is no longer looking forward to such good things as sudden death of the game. He doesn't want the game to be uninterested. As long as it remains within a small audience, it doesn't matter how high the word of mouth is. Anyway, there is no way to break it. circle, it is impossible to recover the huge cost of investment.

In terms of Tengda's current size, every new project is fully invested, so the definition of the concept of "success" is getting higher and higher. It is completely impossible to achieve the level that ordinary small companies can achieve. Not quite a success.

"Since this is the case, can we rent or buy a few more large warehouses?"

"I have to go and see what's going on in the warehouse!"

On a whim, Pei Qian was going to check the stock situation.

Tengda has several large warehouses and many warehouses in Jingzhou. The storage system is a network layout: there are large warehouses in the suburbs of Jingzhou in different directions, and there are smaller ones near the Tengda entity industrial complex centered on Moyu Internet Cafe. The warehouse, and finally some goods are also stored in the headwind station.

Other cities are similar, and they are all planned according to this plan.

This tertiary storage layout is like a series of dams in the upper reaches of the river, which can ensure that Headwind Logistics can deliver products to customers at the fastest speed, and at the same time, it can also try its best to ensure that there is no shortage of goods.

Of course, these stocks piled up, and the backlog of goods is also very scary. Once the price fluctuates, they have to sell at a reduced price. Such a large amount of inventory is enough to make some small and weak companies die several times.

But this is exactly what Pei Qian wanted.

From the current point of view, as long as no one buys the price of the overstocked goods, it is a win-win situation: Pei Qian wins twice!

Whether he was forced to lower the price to sell at a loss, or insisted on not lowering the price to let the inventory continue to depreciate in the warehouse, Pei Qian won.

Of course, the worst-case scenario is that all these goods are sold smoothly, and the bleeding cannot be stopped no matter how you stock up, that would be terrible.

But that shouldn't be the case right now.

Of course, these warehouses are not all equipped with driving simulators. They are filled with various Tenda products by category, whether it is new products, old products, digital products developed by Outu Technology, or furniture and home appliances in cooperation with other manufacturers. Products are in stock.

Headwind Logistics is striving to achieve the ultimate in "delivering goods to the door in the shortest time".

Pei Qian wondered, if all the driving simulators in the inventory were not sold, would it be justifiable to rent a new warehouse?

The more things like warehouses, the better!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian called Ye Zhizhou and said that he wanted to go to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city to take a look.

After seeing the situation in the warehouse, I happened to chat with Ye Zhizhou about the current situation of the game.

...

An hour later, Pei Qian came to Tengda's largest warehouse on the outskirts of Jingzhou.

Ye Zhizhou should have been waiting in the warehouse.

In fact, Pei Qian originally wanted to call Chang You, but Chang You was still suffering on the island and could only come back at the end of this month, so he didn't call other people from Outu Technology.

It's just that Pei Qian felt something was wrong as soon as he got out of the car.

Because there are two big trucks parked at the door, one big truck is unloading, while the other is loading!

The large truck that was unloading was loaded with safe and civilized driving simulator equipment. There was a package version that was packed together in a large box, and there were also small parts such as the steering wheel and gear lever that were packed separately.

Several forklifts and workers were unloading in full swing, while the drivers of the two large trucks looked quite young, and they sat in a random place beside them, smoking and chatting while watching the loading and unloading.

"Have you played Safe and Civilized Driving?"

"What is that? I haven't heard of it."

"Haven't heard of it? It's the thing we pulled. There are all analog steering wheel devices behind it!"

"Is it a game? Why does this name sound strange?"

"It's just a game of driving a big truck, it's fun."

"Huh? You drive and pull goods every day, isn't that enough? Do you want to continue driving big trucks in the game? Are you out of your mind?"

"Hey, how do you talk like this? It's really different. Just try it and you'll know."

The two chatted enthusiastically, and they didn't pay attention to Pei Qian, they just regarded him as an ordinary passerby.

It's just that Pei Qian lost his composure when he heard the chat between the two.

what's the situation?

Even truck drivers who pull goods are playing this game?

It's outrageous!

But after thinking about it, this is a driver for Tenda after all. Knowing the usefulness of this simulator, I bought it out of curiosity to play with it, and practice my driving skills when I have nothing to do at home. It seems understandable.

It is not a big problem for truck drivers to play "Safe and Civilized Driving". The key is, why are there still big trucks loading and unloading now?

This is the real reason why Pei Qian is highly vigilant.

It stands to reason that Tenda's stocking has been in progress long before the official release of the safe and civilized driving simulator. Inventory and Headwind Station.

In other words, the inventory should have been covered long ago, and all the warehouses should be fully covered.

What's the situation with such a large-scale purchase and shipment? Shouldn't there be so many sales?

Continuing to walk in, Pei Qian noticed that the big warehouse was also busy.

As the scale of Tenda grows, the warehouse becomes more and more formal.

When Tenda first started its own warehouse, there was only a small warehouse, and the shelves were full of digital products, memory, graphics cards, etc. from other manufacturers, which was quite adequate.

But now, not only has the number of warehouses increased significantly, but the inside of the warehouse has also changed a lot. It has become a uniform tall shelf, where various products are arranged in categories, and the goods are loaded and picked up by small forklifts.

Several small forklifts are busy, arranging various goods.

Ye Zhizhou had already arrived, and when he saw Pei Qian coming, he hurried up to greet him.

"Boss Pei!"

Pei Qian looked at the situation in the warehouse, as if facing an enemy: "Recently...the sales of safe and civilized driving simulators have increased significantly?"

Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Yes, Mr. Pei, you already know?"

Pei Qian was embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment.

What do I already know?

I know a hammer!

I guessed it entirely based on the usual urination and this abnormal movement in the warehouse!

Seeing Mr. Pei's expression, Ye Zhizhou suddenly said: "Oh! Mr. Pei, you don't know it, you predicted it, right?"

Pei Qian: "..."

While feeling outrageous, Pei Qian was puzzled that the game sales didn't seem to skyrocket.

It stands to reason that the number of buyers of safe and civilized driving simulators should have a certain positive correlation with the number of game buyers. The proportion of players who use steering wheels to play racing games should be roughly stable.

Now that the sales of games have not seen a skyrocketing increase, the number of buyers of emulators has skyrocketed. What's going on?
