. Shi Lei is thinking, what price should VR game headsets be sold?

Dong Guoguo made a preliminary estimate of the manufacturing cost of the VR game headset, which cost about 2000 Xia Guoyuan, which is not particularly high, and it is completely within Shi Lei's acceptance range.

However, the VR game headset with a cost of 2,000 Xia Guoyuan is only the most basic version, and there is no WHDI technique. If you add WHDI techniques, the cost price will increase by $1,000.

Shi Lei has never been able to make up his mind, loading the WHDI technique in the VR game headset, or as the configuration highlight of the second-generation personal game server.

If it is executed according to the maximization of profits, the cost of WHDI technology should be borne by the second-generation personal game server, because 10% of AMD's shares are controlled by the original management; The VR gaming headset belongs 100% to Dream Entertainment.

However, if the VR gaming headset, with the WHDI technique, is more appealing, the VR gaming headset can be priced higher, unlike the second generation of personal game servers, which is difficult to increase the pricing.

After the 'clarification announcement' on Dream Entertainment's official website was released, many players expressed their disappointment, and they were full of hope that Dream Entertainment was developing holographic virtual game headsets, but it turned out to be otherwise.

However, the number of players in this part is not too much, and most players can understand that holographic virtual game helmets have always been science fantasy, and with the current science and technology, it is very difficult to achieve.

In Dream Entertainment's 'Clarification Announcement', the VR game headset described is actually very attractive. After all, fully immersive, first-visual display devices were science fiction before.

Super tyrant storm is also a little disappointed. But for VR gaming headsets, Storm also expressed a taste of interest. Since it was impossible to get more information on the official website and official forums, Storm took out the phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed Shi Lei's number.

Shuangqing City, Jingya Garden.

Shi Lei looked at the caller ID, his expression was a little surprised, and he said to himself: "Storm? What is this guy calling for? Could it be because of the VR gaming headset? ”

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

pressed the answer button, and before Shi Lei could speak, Storm had already taken the first step to speak, "Mr. Shi." Good morning, I would like to ask. Your company's VR gaming headset. What is the situation? ”

Shi Lei showed a smile on his face, and sure enough, as he predicted, Shi Lei explained the VR game helmet in detail, and said in the end: "Although the VR game helmet cannot achieve the function of the holographic virtual game helmet in science fiction, the VR game headset has a sense of the game." The boost is so big that players will have a realistic first sight! ”

After listening to Shi Lei's description, the storm suddenly looked forward to the VR game headset, "Mr. Shi." When does Dream Entertainment plan to release VR gaming headsets? I'm going to book one first! ”

Shi Lei deliberately showed a hesitant attitude, ready to release a message to players through the storm, "Storm, based on our personal friendship, I can tell you that the release date of the VR game headset cannot be determined for the time being. In addition to some technical problems, but also because of the cost. The cost of VR gaming headsets is too high, and we dream of entertainment companies, and we don't know how much we should price it. ”

Although the initial positioning of the brave world is a high-end game, and the price of a closed beta invitation code has been hyped to the extent of thousands of yuan, but at present, there are more than 15 million players, of which only less than one-tenth are high-end players.

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

Storm thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Shi, if the cost price of the VR game headset is not a trade secret, can I know the truth?" ”

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

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

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

"It's just $2,000, it doesn't seem expensive!" Storm said disapprovingly.

Shi Lei was helplessly depressed, "Storm, you are not short of money, of course you think that two thousand dollars is not much!" Even in the Liberian region, $2,000 is the salary of an average person for four weeks. As for the Xia region, two thousand dollars is converted into sixteen thousand Xia dollars, which is a sum of money that many people don't have so much savings in a year, understand? ”

Storm sneered: "The people of Xia Kingdom are so poor? ”

"You know a hair!" Shi Lei said in the language of later generations, "The situation of Xia Guo is special, you don't understand, I don't blame you." ”

"Mr. Shi, since most people can't afford it, why don't you raise the price of VR game headsets? According to the situation in the world of bravery, according to my personal analysis, the sales of VR game headsets can reach at least 500,000 units. If you dream of an entertainment company selling it for $5,000 each, and you plan to make a profit of $2,000 per unit, then the total profit of 500,000 units is $1 billion, which is not a small amount! "The storm had 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 the player will accept it?" ”

"Mr. Shi, players from other regions, I don't know very well, our high-end players in the Lijian region have absolutely no problem spending on game equipment for five thousand dollars!" Storm swears.

Shi Lei thought in his heart for a while, Shi Lei did not fully agree with what the storm said, even in the Lijian region, not all rich people. The price of 5,000 dollars is almost equivalent to a medium-sized personal game server, and the sales volume is really not guaranteed.

"If the retail price of five thousand dollars, we dream of an entertainment company, would definitely be willing to launch a VR gaming headset as soon as possible. However, I'm worried that players won't be able to accept this price! Shi Lei voiced 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, which can definitely solve the problem of sales without adding any costs." ”

"What's a good idea?" Shi Lei asked curiously.

Storm's identity background is not simple, he is not only a simple gentleman, but also a business genius, and part of the business in the family is handed over to Storm to take care of.

"Mr. Shi, Dream Entertainment Company has a super popularity, and the brave world has a super high popularity, you can set up a pre-sale system for VR game headsets on the official website of Dream Entertainment!" Storm spoke of the infamous sales methods of later generations.

Pre-sales, futures, rush purchases

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

"Pre-sale?" Shi Lei experienced the sales bombardment of those disgusting mobile phone merchants in later generations, and understood the meaning of the storm in an instant, "Storm, you mean, we sell concepts, collect money in advance, only accept full reservations, and then ship the products after they are produced, right?" ”

Storm replied affirmatively, "That's right! As long as the full amount is collected in advance, your company will not have sales pressure. The products produced have been sold in advance, and there is no such thing as a loss. That's a good idea, isn't it? Storm said smugly.

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

If the VR game headset feels very poor and is not worth $5,000 at all, then Dream Entertainment may bear a very big infamy and even damage the company's image.

"Mr. Shi, your dream entertainment company, after opening the pre-sale, in order to support you, I said that I will directly order one hundred sets of VR game headsets!" Storm showed by example that he was willing to be guinea pig.

Shi Lei said with a smile: "Storm, aren't you afraid of VR game headsets, it's just a means for our dream entertainment company to fool players?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Storm said affirmatively, "If you dream that the entertainment company wants to make money, it is not very difficult, and there is no need to use deceptive means to do it." ”

A world-class online game with more than 15 million registrations, it's really not difficult to make money!

You can make a lot of money by casually selling a little props or collecting point cards!

"Alright! Storm, I decided to use your suggestion to open a pre-sale system for VR game headsets on the homepage of Dream Entertainment's official website. In addition, I would like to tell you another piece of information, the second-generation personal game server may be released at the same time as the VR game headset, and when the time comes, it will be very convenient to use the two together! In order to ensure the sales of the second-generation personal game server, Shi Lei had to take an evil way and choose a VR game headset to be sold with the second-generation personal game server.

After all, the first generation of personal game servers has only been sold for a short time, and the personal game server market is basically saturated, and players have little desire to replace personal game servers.

If you want to get players to change their personal game servers, you can only use a more evil way!.
