In mid-March 1993, the number of downloads exceeded 10 million, and at the same time, the number of paying users worldwide also exceeded 400,000.

Subsequently, the CD-ROM version was also listed one after another, and only the domestic software distribution channel has purchased 2 million sets of genuine CD-ROMs, and they are not afraid of not being able to sell. Because, the price of the domestic genuine version is only 68 yuan, and Phoenix Meitu is a tool software, which can be used for a long time to work. Newspapers, publishing houses, websites, photography, advertising, and many other industries actually need artists. After using a computer to complete art tasks more efficiently, many companies basically require the use of computers to do their work.

Even, when some companies recruit for art positions, they specifically indicate that they can skillfully use image processing software such as Phoenix Meitu.

This is similar to the fact that many companies recruited artists later, and they all had to ask, whether they were familiar with PS. If you have a good PS skill, it's basically easy to find an art job.

This also means that Phoenix Meitu has replaced Adobe Photoshop and is gradually beginning to represent the industry standard.

Later generations of Adobe Photoshop, such software can basically represent the industry standard. Most of the art work is measured by proficiency in Adobe Photoshop. Even if you have a good art foundation, but you are not good at using Adobe Photoshop, you may be brushed off. And if you have a good Photoshop skill, then it is easy to be qualified for most art positions. Of course, this only refers to ordinary level art, higher level art, just familiar with the use of software, processing some simple pictures is not enough. A higher level of art not only requires the ability to simply use software to synthesize and process, but also needs to have a body of art skills to do better.

But in any case, the use of graphics processing software is gradually becoming the standard in the art industry in the future. Whoever can become the maker of the industry will at least have more than 10 million core users. Of course, some amateur users can also use some of the functions of the software, but without better art skills, it is impossible to use the software superbly.

Benefiting from the popularity and sales data of Phoenix Meitu Software, the market value of Phoenix Games began to stabilize at more than HK$100 billion for a long time after its listing.

Of course, the success of Phoenix Meitu is also due to the continuous use of this popular application software to carry out a series of ecological expansion and transformation within a period of time after the launch of Phoenix Games.

For example, on March 13, Zhao Ruofei, CEO of Phoenix Games, said: "As an application software with high hardware requirements, the default version of the ordinary Pangu 7 can also run, but its fluency and efficiency are limited by new capabilities. So...... In the near future, we will launch a high-end Pangu compatible machine that is professionally used for graphics rendering, as well as a professional graphics rendering graphics card! Well, we will call this high-end special compatible machine Phoenix graphics workstation!"

In fact, Phoenix Games' launch of a high-end Pangu compatible machine was also premeditated. Ordinary office computer users, in fact, have relatively low requirements for computer upgrading. But gamers and graphics rendering work are very demanding on the computer!

Phoenix graphics workstation, the motherboard is compatible with the Pangu 7th generation, but the motherboard is larger, with some more slots, and a quad-core Luban 1st generation CPU with a main frequency of 75MHHZ. The graphics card has also been replaced with a high-end graphics card developed by Phoenix Games, Phoenix Professional Graphics Card 1st generation.

At present, in the market, the largest market share in the high-end graphics card is actually the magic painting series graphics card of the new start-up graphics card company, the magic painting 1st generation graphics card, which was listed in 89 years, and the initial price was $1598, and now it has gradually dropped to $899. But it is still a very powerful graphics card, after all, the 30MB video memory is ten times larger than the 3MB video memory integrated in the motherboard of the current Pangu computer. Therefore, this graphics card has been on the market for 3 years, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 37 million. Although, the vast majority of players who don't play top masterpieces don't need this kind of graphics card, however, players who play 3D games, hesitated for a few years, and finally with the continuous price reduction of graphics cards, and after more and more 3D games, they still can't help but buy a magic painting graphics card, which only means that it is really fragrant.

As for the Magic Painting 2nd generation graphics card, it was launched in the second half of 92, and the price rose to $2999 a piece. The performance in all aspects has been more than doubled compared to the first generation, and the video memory has also been increased to 64MB. Therefore, the current cumulative global sales of this high-end graphics card are only 800,000. However, the newly started graphics card companies do not care, because the production capacity itself is very insufficient.

The Phoenix graphics workstation is not a high-end machine customized for gamers. In addition, it is a brother unit with the new venture graphics card company, and it also belongs to the subsidiary of the new venture electronics group. However, Phoenix Games has its own graphics card R&D team, and when it makes arcade machines, it designs its own motherboards, graphics cards and other related hardware. Therefore, after making a compatible machine, although the CPU and operating system still need to be purchased, the graphics card is designed by itself.

"Phoenix Graphics Workstation, although it is also a compatible machine. But it is a high-end machine for the niche market, and the tentative price is $9999! Well, it's dollars! This machine is compatible with other Pangu computer hardware, but it is two 75MHHZ quad-core Luban 1st generation CPUs, dual-circuit CPU motherboards, which are very different from motherboards with a CPU generally. The two top-of-the-line Phoenix professional graphics cards, the Phoenix Professional graphics cards, are a little more than the Magic Painting 2 graphics cards when it comes to graphics rendering jobs, and if you use them to play games, they may be slightly inferior. 8 memory modules, 8 channels, each 32MB, that is, 256MB memory...... To put it simply, the graphics are 1020 times stronger than ordinary computers, and the use of Phoenix Meitu will not be forced to use, but smooth to use. ”

"Phoenix professional graphics card, if you are not going to buy a graphics workstation, but want to improve efficiency. You can buy a Phoenix professional graphics card separately for $3599, one piece. Phoenix professional graphics card, in terms of video memory, it is the same level as the magic painting 2nd generation64MB video memory. But...... Because the architecture part is different, the efficiency of the Phoenix graphics card for graphics operations is more than 30 more than that of the Magic Painting 2nd generation graphics card! Of course, we are not saying that the Magic Painting 2nd generation is not good, but because we have made different optimizations for different users. For example, the Magic Painting 2nd generation graphics card is for 3D games, and we are for 2D rendering work such as Phoenix Meitu, if you are playing games, I think the Magic Painting graphics card is more suitable, and for graphics work, the Phoenix graphics card is more professional. ”

Although, the launch of the Phoenix graphics workstation and professional graphics cards, the media has received little reaction. After all...... It's too expensive, and it's too niche. Even if it's an artist, not every one of them requires a lot of complicated work, and most of them are just the default tools to whiten the photos and change the colors. Or, just add some text to the image, or something else.

The art that really needs to be used for more complex operations is often a small subset of high-end art.

As a result, the launch of expensive graphics workstations and graphics cards was once ridiculed by many people. Isn't it stupid that many other parties said that after five or six years, the configuration that could be bought for $1,000 will now cost $10,000 to buy?

But...... Amazing!

Phoenix graphics workstation and Phoenix professional graphics card, only listed on Tesco online for pre-sale, at least 3 months before shipping, before that, need to pay a deposit of $100, when the time comes, pay the balance before shipping. And if the balance is not paid at the agreed time, the deposit will not be returned.

Even so, the Phoenix Graphics Workstation was released, and dozens of orders were ordered every day. More than 500 orders for Phoenix professional graphics cards continue to grow every day......

This has to shock a lot of people who are not related to graphics work!

Nima's, cheap software, and then, sell sky-high hardware ...... And such a sassy operation?

If someone asks Zhao Ruofei, did you do it on purpose?

Zhao Ruofei will be very aggrieved and say: "Mr. Lin suggested!"

Cheap software is released to expand the user base. But some high-end users don't care too much about krypton gold to get a better boost!

Therefore, this kind of sky-high hardware that can give full play to software performance exists in the market space.

Even some free games, as long as the number of players is large, and some krypton props and services are launched, some bigwigs can also appear, and krypton becomes stronger in order to get a different experience.

Not to mention, this kind of tool-based software can directly improve efficiency and work completion effect by improving the experience. In this way, not only employees in some industries will buy better equipment, but some companies are bosses, and most of them will have a few orders of equipment to strengthen their employees. Invisible and untouchable software, maybe these people are not highly motivated, but ...... The hardware that can be seen and touched will stimulate the krypton desire of many bosses who can afford it.
