323 The Fall of the Fork God? (Above)
There will be no shortage of people in any world who like to go astray because it is profitable.
Copycat products are profitable, so many people are engaged in this industry.
Relatively speaking, the cottage of this world is much lighter than the original world of Ye Chui, after all, the people of this world are relatively pure, but no does not mean that there is no, but for very few reasons, Ye Chui has no precautions at all.
The main reason is naturally because the high-tech product of the handheld is not simple to imitate, Ye Chui in order to develop and make the handheld, specially bought a half-waste template customizer, the design core of the handheld is also from the hands of Qian Mai, in many ways, the handheld is irreproducible.
However, now copycats are still appearing.
Ye Sui couldn't figure out how it appeared, how he appeared.
In the morning, after getting the name of the red-top wholesale market from the mouth of the owner of the electrical appliance store, Ye Chui immediately rushed over to take a look, but the result was naturally nothing, there was no way to find too much information about the handheld wholesale, the personnel here are very miscellaneous, or the other party unilaterally contacted, after looking for more than half an hour and found that there was no result, Ye Chui had to dispel this idea and returned to the studio.
Fang Nan, Fang Xi and others already knew about the copycat, and Fang Xi also saw the hot topic on the handheld forum, so the studio was very indignant.
Even Qian Mai said that she was very angry, so she couldn't go to work and didn't go to work - well, she just didn't want to go to work to make excuses for herself.
"The structure of this handheld is very simple, just a simple assembly using ordinary portable light brain components." After disassembling the copycat handheld in Ye Chui's hand for testing. Qian Mai quickly came to a conclusion, "In terms of performance, this handheld is at least three grades worse than the one I developed, but in terms of cost, the material cost of this handheld is estimated to be no more than ten yuan." ”
"Ten bucks? So cheap? Fang Xi said in surprise.
He heard Ye Trai mention that the genuine handheld machine made in Ye Chui's father's factory, and it cost more than 100 to add various materials together.
I originally thought that more than 100 materials cost more than 100 yuan and sold for 500 yuan after processing, but I didn't expect that the cost price of this kind of copycat machine was only ten yuan.
One thing to be clear, the selling price of this kind of copycat handheld is also 500 yuan.
"The handhelds in my dad's factory are quality-first and strictly controlled in every aspect, but the handhelds here are completely different. It's completely shoddy. Not to mention the function, the quality is probably not up to par at all. Ye Chui looked at the formations on the table, frowned and said, "I just can't figure it out." How is this kind of copycat machine produced? ”
"A lot of the design of this machine is exactly the same as the one I designed. It's just that the materials are cheaper and the functions are simpler. Qian Mai continued. Should be completely emulated from me. ”
"Imitate yours? That means they have a prototype or blueprint of our handheld? Ye was stunned, "But...... Most of the employees in my father's factory are his old subordinates, and they must be very loyal to my father. The design drawings and the like shouldn't be circulated, and the only thing that may leak is probably the 400 that I sent to Ass Dunzi Mountain. ”
At the beginning, 400 units were sent to the orphanage because Ye Chui thanked Qian Mai, and these 400 units were Qian Mai's remuneration for making design drawings.
And at that time, Ye Chui didn't think that if this handheld machine was taken out, it would let someone with a heart come out of the cottage.
The first is that there are not many cottages in this world, and the second is because he feels that the copycats of the handheld are more difficult, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will come out of the copycats.
But it turned out to be a copycat.
It doesn't matter how the prototype or design is circulated for the time being, what matters is how to solve the problem of copycats.
"The function of this kind of copycat machine is so poor, at most, you can only play this kind of small game, and you can play fighting games like this, so many people shouldn't buy it, right?" Fang Nan said suspiciously.
The rest of the studio agrees that it's not serious.
But Ye Zhuo still showed a worried expression.
Coming from another world to see the power of copycats, he understands the rigor of things better than the rest of the studio.
Of course, if players recognize the difference between copycat products and genuine products, it's okay, but the key is that if players can't identify them at all, then Ye Chui will lose not only a part of the handheld revenue, but also other more important things......
Reputation.
"Let Zheng Zishan's advertising shooting speed up a little, and when the advertising is invested, the words "counterfeit products on the market" will be marked at the back, and try to minimize the impact of this matter!" Ye Chui then said.
Ye Trai attaches great importance to the matter of copycat products, and he then contacted the police station, hoping that the police can intervene in this matter, but this kind of counterfeit products have been around for a long time, although the police promised Ye Trai that they would conduct an investigation, but looking at their negative appearance, it is estimated that they will not make great efforts to carry it out.
Ye Chui can only not count on them.
In the next two days, there was no progress on the copycat machine, but more and more people bought this kind of copycat handheld.
And the situation that Ye Tuo was most worried about also happened-
"I just bought Professor Fork's handheld, how did I do it, I bought this handheld to play The King of Fighters, why can't I bring it? The quality is too bad, isn't it? At the beginning, the slogan at the game show was very clear, this handheld can play all the games of the fork professor! ”
"My handheld broke down after only two days of playing, and I took it to the store to repair it, but he actually said that the handheld was not warranted!? What the hell is going on, Professor Fork's after-sales service is too bad, right? ”
"I want to return it! For 500 yuan, you can directly buy a portable light brain, and playing games with a portable light brain is better than playing with this handheld! ”
"Professor Fork can't be deliberately tricking us, right? This machine is not at all what he said at the beginning, and my five hundred dollars are too worthless! ”
"Professor Fork is too disappointing for us, isn't he? I think this handheld is a money scam! ”
All kinds of dissatisfaction with copycat handheld consoles swept the Internet. In addition, Ye Chui is the dominant family in the game industry, and many people are very angry with Ye Chui, and at this time, he is even more down, and all kinds of critical voices have come for a while.
Even the TV stations are not lagging behind, and they have reported on this incident.
Lin Xuesheng's Shengli TV station seized this opportunity and spared no effort to do a theme program for experts to solve puzzles, dismantling a copycat machine on the spot, and showing everyone the components inside, proving that this handheld machine is simply assembled with some waste optical brain equipment components.
As soon as this show was broadcast, it greatly reduced people's credibility to Ye Chui.
This was obviously what An Shiming was expecting from the beginning - he was going to cut off one of Ye Chui's financial routes. This way of making money is the sale of handheld computers.
After the appearance of his copycat handheld. consumed the expectations of those game fans for Ye Chui, and by the way, he greatly smeared Ye Chui, and more importantly, he earned the money of the copycat handheld, but blocked the sales of Ye Chui's upcoming genuine handheld.
In just a few days. From An Shiming, there are more than 30,000 copycat handhelds that have been sent to all parts of the country in an endless stream.
This made An Shiming make a lot of money of nearly 10 million!
Ye Tuo issued a statement through the Internet. He claimed that the handheld that was temporarily circulating on the market was not produced by him. It is a counterfeit product.
As a result, this kind of statement was attacked by the sailors hired by people with intentions, and it was directly said that Ye Trai was a way to survive the credibility crisis, and Ye Trai had not released the game for two months. The rumor about Ye Chuijianglang's talent has been circulated, and coupled with this view of things now, Professor Cha's reputation has been greatly damaged.
In this regard, even if Ye Trai has a network magic weapon like Youruo, he can't turn the situation around.
In the end, the credibility crisis caused by the copycat handheld also affected the sales of games produced by Ye Chui's affiliated studios.
Knights of the Round Table, the latest arcade side-scrolling game developed by Iceman Studios, one of Ye Chui's affiliated studios, sold only a pitiful 100,000 copies on the first day after it was released, setting a record for the lowest sales of Professor Fork's game.
Of course, this number is still unbeatable compared to other games.
But the gap has narrowed considerably.
Among the games that were on the shelves at the same time, there was also a story of the Sirius God from Wu Hao Tianhaifeng Game Company.
This is the fourth game in Wu Hao's Sky Wolf series, with first-day sales reaching 70,000.
The remarks that the fork god is about to fall have been brought up on the Internet again.
It happened to such an extent that the police had to start an investigation.
However, the way of circulating copycat machines is very secretive, and when the owners of some electrical appliance stores buy goods in the wholesale market, the other party unilaterally accosted and contacted the goods to provide them, and it is difficult for the police to make any progress in the investigation in a short period of time.
Although Youruo has a very strong search ability in many aspects, she is completely useless in the real world, and in the face of this situation, she can only express helplessness.
……
Wutong County.
Inside Asemin's assembly base.
Looking at the overwhelming news on the Internet about the credibility crisis of Professor Fork, there was a smug sneer on that fat face.
He felt very proud, Ye Chui had been working against major wealthy companies since he first appeared, but whether it was Cao's Enterprise, Fangtai Enterprise or SB Light Brain Company, they couldn't do anything with him.
But now, Ye Chui is about to be completely destroyed by him.
The feeling of pride is indescribable.
"Brother An, someone came and said they wanted to see you." Scarface pushed open the office door and walked in, and said in a deep voice.
"Want to see me?" An Shiming was stunned.
"It's the owners of several other workshops in Wutong County, and they want to know how our handheld here is done."
"Humph!" When An Shiming heard this, he immediately waved his hand, "You tell them that this is our secret and can't be told to others, if they mess around, they will kick me out, and warn those workers that whoever dares to reveal this secret to me, I will not spare them." ”
How to assemble electrical appliances, according to their assembly industry, they can't hide their secrets, after all, everyone is mixed in the same boat, and An Shiming knows the doorway.
But the income of the cottage handheld is too high, ten yuan of raw materials can be sold for five hundred yuan, and the sales are extremely fast, how can he tell others about this kind of good thing?
"Okay, Brother An, I see." Scarface walked out with that, and a moment later there was a commotion outside, but it quickly regained its composure.
Scarface was hideous, and he was also notoriously fierce in Wutong County, and the owners of those other workshops were quickly kicked out.
"Want a piece of the pie from me? I think it's beautiful! ”
An Shiming snorted coldly and began to continue browsing the light brain.
Watching Ye Chui's sarcasm on the Internet has become the thing he enjoys the most.
"When this transaction is done, maybe I will have the capital to start over!"
An Shiming thought coldly in his heart, he felt very fortunate that he saw the dropped handheld from Cheng Jiang's body, and for a while, he asked Zhang Zongyao to get the copycat of this handheld.
Now, this copycat handheld has become his hope for a comeback...... (To be continued......)
