Chapter 531 Gift of Virtual Helmet
Liu Mingyu stopped tapping his hand on the table, crossed his hands in front of him, and said, "Mr. Ma, this method is not impossible, but it is limited to virtual games, not including virtual reality technology."
"Of course." Brother Xiao Ma nodded. His original plan was to cooperate with Xingchen Group on virtual games, and he did not think about other applications of virtual reality technology.
If he had such an epoch-making technology, he would not have been able to hand him over.
Being able to achieve cooperation in virtual games is already a very good way of cooperation.
Liu Mingyu said with a loud laugh: "Then it is still in the way of Xingchen Cloud, Xingchen Group and Tencent Group will jointly establish a new company."
The two parties initially reached an agreement on cooperation, and the tense atmosphere of the entire conference room suddenly became cheerful.
All that's left is the details.
Of course, the details are also very important.
As for how the two sides will contribute, it has to be negotiated by the negotiating teams of both sides.
The two big guys are just in control of the general direction.
Brother Xiao Ma asked, "Mr. Liu, how much does this virtual helmet cost?"
Liu Mingyu turned on the holographic projection, and a virtual helmet full of futuristic technology appeared in the middle of the meeting.
Brother Xiao Ma sighed a lot. In the Xingchen Building, all kinds of black technology products can be seen everywhere, and the holographic projection technology can be fully applied by the Xingchen Group. He feels that the longer he stays in the Xingchen Building, the more he feels that the Xingchen Building is unfathomable. It's hard to imagine how Xingchen Group has developed so many technologies.
The cost of the virtual helmet was originally a secret, but the two parties have reached a preliminary opinion, and it is not really a secret for Brother Ma.
Liu Mingyu said: "Mr. Ma, because of the material and craftsmanship, the virtual helmet can be regarded as a high-end microcomputer, and the configuration used in it is the most expensive configuration on the market. The cost of the entire virtual helmet is about 10,000 yuan. It's just pure hardware costs, no software costs are calculated."
To be honest, this price can only be obtained if Liu Mingyu desperately compresses it. If it is the fourth-generation virtual helmet, it is not a matter of money at all.
Don't talk about mass production problems, even if it is placed in the laboratory, it may not be able to be produced.
Some materials cannot be made with money.
If the industrial technical strength is not reached, it is useless to say anything.
The virtual helmet involves the transmission of human brain waves, and titanium germanium alloy is only one of the main raw materials, and some details are still limiting the virtual helmet.
The cost of the virtual helmet is so high, mainly due to the configuration problem inside. It has almost reached the highest configuration at this stage. With such a configuration, it is only barely able to run the wizarding world.
It is also impossible for Liu Mingyu to let other companies curb their development. Regarding the development of the industry, Liu Mingyu has also been doing it simultaneously.
However, the development of industry is not something that can be achieved overnight, and needs to be developed slowly.
The Xingchen Group will be involved in a lot of things in the future, and it is very necessary to master the core technology.
I took a look at the hardware configuration listed in the virtual helmet. Although I don’t often pay attention to the hardware configuration, I am still a little impressed by the important accessories listed. These are all high-end configurations, which can reduce the cost to 10,000 yuan. This is a price that can only be achieved in mass production.
Brother Xiao Ma nodded: "I'm afraid the final price will exceed 20,000 yuan, right?"
"I don't know the specifics, it's still in production, and it will be announced when it goes on sale, but the price is almost the same." Liu Mingyu said with a smile.
The cost price of 10,000 yuan is only the hardware cost, plus the software cost, plus some taxes and other expenses.
In the hands of consumers, the price may indeed exceed 20,000 yuan.
Is it expensive to buy a virtual helmet capable of playing virtual games for 20,000 yuan?
to be frank.
Not expensive.
When many devices were first developed, it was destined that only rich people could afford them.
After the technology matures, the price of virtual helmets will become cheaper and cheaper, and then the majority of players will be able to accept it.
Even at the current price of 20,000 yuan, some people can still afford it.
You must know that there are many players who have opened up to 20,000 yuan for the qualification of a wizard world's closed beta.
What does it mean to spend 20,000 yuan to buy a virtual helmet of your own?
Of course, in order to take care of those who are unable to buy virtual helmets and want to play virtual games, Liu Mingyu also provides a method.
That is to open virtual game experience centers in big cities across the country, just like opening Internet cafes.
Now for the internal test, virtual game experience centers have been opened in first-tier cities across the country, the main function of which is to solve those players who do not have the money to buy virtual helmets.
Of course, in order to allow more players to buy virtual helmets, Xingchen Group also intends to introduce a method of paying in installments.
The equipment of 20,000 yuan is repaid in one year in installments, but only more than 2,000 yuan per month.
This price is acceptable to most consumers.
"When will the virtual helmet go on sale?" Little Ma asked.
"It will take about a month for the mass listing, and virtual helmet reservations may be opened in the near future." Liu Mingyu did not hide his plans.
Brother Pony grinned and said: "Then you have to make an appointment, the experience of the wizarding world is really nostalgic, and the nightmare wizard, you can't experience the superhuman feeling in reality, you can experience it in the game. ."
"There is no need to make an appointment. When President Ma returns later, I will send a few to President Ma." Liu Mingyu said with a smile.
"That would be better." The little brother thanked him.
Then he joked: "Mr. Liu is not afraid that the virtual game will be cracked by me?"
Liu Mingyu laughed loudly: "Then I have to remind you, don't disassemble the virtual helmet by yourself. I have set up protective measures. If you open it privately, it will damage the motherboard inside."
Brother Xiao Ma was surprised, but there was nothing on his face, he laughed: "How can it be, where can I get a virtual helmet if it is damaged."
To be honest, he really has the urge to open the virtual helmet and study it, just to see what kind of structure is inside, so as to realize the epoch-making technology of virtual reality.
Liu Mingyu smiled without saying a word. He didn't care what the other party thought. Anyway, there was a security program set up by Wu Junhao in the virtual helmet. He was not afraid that someone could crack it in this era, even if it was brute force. It will take several years for the supercomputer to run, and it will take several years to have a chance to crack.
When Brother Ma left, Liu Mingyu gave him five brand new virtual helmets.
As for what Brother Ma wants to do with the virtual helmet, it's not his business.
