Chapter 1070: The Current Situation of Headwind Logistics

So far, three versions of "Fitness Wars" have been planned, namely the mobile game version, the professional version of the smart fitness drying rack, and the VR version.

The goal of the mobile version is to expand the player base, increase the popularity of the game, and at the same time provide players with the most basic game experience.

The goal of the professional version is to provide players with a fitness experience comparable to that of a gym personal trainer, exercise scientifically, and keep players going for a long time through game stickiness.

The goal of the VR version is to show players the display effect of the new VR technology, comprehensively enhance the immersion and immersion of the game, and give players more reasons to recharge in "Fitness Wars", or buy smart fitness drying racks and VR glasses.

In other words, even if a player buys VR glasses, they don't need to wear them all the time to exercise, and they only need to use their mobile phones or tablets to complete their daily fitness check-in, and only when they need to see the characters in the game change their costumes or occasionally feel good, they need to experience it on VR.

Some players value the actual fitness effect and comfort experience, while some players are more concerned about the immersion of the game and want to observe the young lady up close, and different players will naturally have different choices.

And the VR version of "Fitness Wars" is equivalent to providing an additional option for players who don't care too much about comfort.

The so-called "opportunity behind the risk" actually means that VR games are just getting started, and if you give up the development of similar games because of the problem of wearing, there will never be similar games.

Then "Fitness Wars" will be the only VR game on all VR game platforms that has both fitness and development functions.

This gives a lot of players a reason why they have to buy it.

As a designer, you can't wait until the device technology has developed to the point where you can perfectly meet all your requirements before developing a game, when it is too late.

After adding the ventilation system, the internal heat dissipation problem can be improved to a certain extent, ensuring the player's gaming experience.

What's more, VR games that require strenuous exercise are not nothing, such as Pei Qian's memory of "Rhythm Lightsaber", its amount of exercise is comparable to some aerobic exercise under high difficulty, and you can sweat profusely in ten minutes, but it does not affect many players to enjoy it, these people can fully tolerate the heat and inconvenience of VR headsets, because a good game experience will allow them to temporarily ignore these defects.

More details were quickly finalized.

It's not hard to port Fitness Wars to VR devices, because if nothing else, this latest VR device will use Shenhua's custom operating system, which is essentially the same as a mobile phone.

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin's goal is to install "Fitness Wars" directly into VR glasses, and try to get good game results even if you don't use computer streaming, which is very important and can greatly lower the threshold for players to play.

After that, it is to continue to make more props to continuously provide players with the motivation to continue to exercise or recharge kryptonite, forming a virtuous circle.

……

……

Friday, May 25th.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Pei Qian was at the Internet café and had just finished lunch.

Thinking of the upcoming changes in the future, Pei Qian felt a little excited and looking forward to it.

This afternoon, he is going to take Tian Mo to Tengda's experience store to see the decoration over there, and if there are any problems that can be solved as soon as possible.

If there is no problem, let the sales team hurry up and settle in and burn money!

At this time, Pei Qian's mobile phone rang.

"Huh? Lu Mingliang? ”

Pei Qian was slightly surprised.

Because it's been a long time since I have reached out to him.

How long exactly? Pei Qian himself can't remember, it must have been more than a year.

Since getting the best employee and leaving the Tengda game department, Lv Mingliang has taken over the headwind logistics that Pei Qian attaches the most importance to, and has worked diligently to make headwind logistics continue to expand and continue to lose money, making great contributions.

It can be said that if there is a merit book, Lu Mingliang should undoubtedly be ranked first.

Originally, Lao Ma was a strong contender for this position, but after Lao Ma made some trouble five times and made a lot of money, the balance in Pei Qian's heart had seriously tilted towards Lu Mingming's side.

What was he calling for?

Could it be that what happened to the headwind logistics side?

Pei Qian is very nervous, the money-burning tree of headwind logistics must not have an accident!

Pei Qian immediately picked up the phone.

"Mr. Pei, I want to report to you in person, but I found that you are not in the company. When do you think you have time, let's talk in person? ”

Pei Qian thought for a while: "I'm near the company, you wait a minute, I'll go over soon." ”

After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian immediately went to the company and met Lu Mingliang in the reception room.

It's been a long time, so Pei Qian chatted with Lu Mingliang for a while, asked if there were any problems in life, and quickly got a negative answer.

This is expected, after all, Tengda's welfare is very good, the treatment of these people in charge is also very high, and the current housing prices in Jingzhou have not yet risen. Salary, commission plus various benefits, it is not a problem to buy a house or a car within a year or two.

Lu Mingliang can feel that although Mr. Pei has not asked about headwind logistics for a long time, he obviously values himself very much!

Even more than core departments such as Tengda Games.

It can be seen from Mr. Pei's eyes and every move.

Therefore, Lu Mingliang was very moved, and then took out the report materials he had already prepared.

"Mr. Pei, let me briefly introduce the current development of headwind logistics."

"In recent months, Headwind Logistics has also expanded to super first-tier cities such as Imperial Capital, Magic City, and Yangcheng in accordance with your previous strategy, as well as the surrounding areas where they are dispersed."

"Probably because Tengda already has a good reputation across the country, the development in these areas is much faster than in Jingzhou, and the number of our stores is growing very fast!"

"At present, we have the largest number of stores in Jingzhou, up to nearly 300, while in more than a dozen other cities in Handong Province, the number of stores fluctuates around 70~100; The number of stores in the imperial capital, the magic capital, and Yangcheng is basically about 120~150, and in the cities around the imperial capital, the magic capital, and the Yangcheng, the headwind post station is also opening in a steady stream. ”

"All the headwind stations combined, the number of stores has reached more than 4,000 ......"

Listening to Lu Mingming's report, Pei Qian couldn't help but be shocked.

The headwind station has already opened to more than 4,000?!

That's an amazing speed.

Of course, Pei Qian has the impression that there are more than 40,000 rookie stations in the country, and now the number of headwind stations is still very far from that kind of coverage.

But if it is only in the four key cities of Jingzhou, Imperial Capital, Magic City, and Yangcheng, the coverage rate is actually very high.

Especially in Jingzhou, almost all the "last mile" of express delivery will choose to be delivered by the headwind station.

Then, Lv Mingliang began to continue to introduce the loss of headwind logistics.

Originally, each headwind station had a net loss of seven or eight thousand yuan per month, but now it has improved greatly, and it has only lost three or four thousand yuan.

This is mainly because of two points: first, as the stall of the headwind station is getting bigger and bigger, the promotion is getting better and better, and the customer group served is getting bigger and bigger, so the originally inconspicuous additional income has increased to a certain extent; Second, Lu Mingliang also thought of some ways to increase revenue and reduce losses.

For example, the most basic, dropshipping express delivery business.

Originally, few people chose this business, but with the holding of the 1024 Digital Festival and the gradual improvement of people's recognition of headwind logistics, more and more customers choose to let headwind logistics come to help them send express delivery, and every single headwind logistics can earn a few cents.

This money is not earned from customers, but mainly from other courier companies.

Because the headwind station will concentrate all the nearby express delivery and hand it over to the courier company, it saves the cost of door-to-door pickup for these courier companies, and naturally charges a certain fee.

This business may seem inconspicuous at first, but after the number of them, it is also a very significant income.

In addition, Lu Mingliang also thought of some other methods, such as setting aside a small area in the store of Headwind Logistics to sell a little bit of goods, or receiving some advertisements on the packaging of Headwind Logistics.

Of course, advertising can not be randomized, or based on Tengda's own products, individual reputation, good reputation of the business, can also consider cooperation.

In this way, the net loss of each headwind station store dropped from the initial seven or eight thousand per month to three or four thousand per month.

But it's still losing.

These 4,000 headwind stations mean that the net loss has reached more than 10 million per month.

Most of the money lost is supplemented by Tengda's other related businesses, such as Touching Fish Internet Cafe, ROF Installation, Outu Technology and so on.

ROF installations and Otto Technology's new mobile phones and new products are shipped using headwind logistics, and the corresponding distribution fees will be paid.

Some of Tengda Group's idle excess funds have also been continuously allocated by Pei Qian to the side of headwind logistics, after all, it can eat money steadily.

In this way, although the headwind station has been losing money, it has also been receiving financial support. Lu Mingliang kept in mind the task assigned to him by Mr. Pei, stop loss is only one aspect, the key is to expand and open a store as soon as possible.

During this time, he immersed himself in opening stores, expanding from the initial 200 headwind stations to more than 4,000.

Pei Qian listened to the report and nodded slightly.

Although he was not very satisfied with Lu Mingming's efforts to reduce losses, this was human nature after all. Although the average loss per store has decreased, the total loss is rising, which is not bad!

"Good, very good, keep it up." Pei Qian was very satisfied.

Seeing Mr. Pei's appreciative expression, Lu Mingliang was also completely relieved.

Although Mr. Pei said from the beginning that the headwind station was for layout and didn't care about short-term profits and losses, after all, they have been losing money for almost two years, and the money lost is already incalculable.

Will Mr. Pei lose patience and change his mind?

Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

This made Lu Mingliang a lot more down-to-earth, and he also took the opportunity to put forward his own suggestions.

"Mr. Pei, I think the time is almost ripe, we can start contracting regular express delivery business and start making profits."
