Chapter 409 points out the key
Mo Jian's second visit to the person who heard the news came back and reported that the price of the Huo Group's experience hall was indeed only a quarter of that of the Sword Group, which undoubtedly confirmed Liu Chongyang's previous statement. After Mo Jian heard this, he was very anxious in his heart, and wanted to figure out why this was happening as quickly as possible.
Two days later, Tai Hui found Mo Jian and told him that he had successfully "tricked" Mike into City A. If nothing else, his plane will land at City A airport early tomorrow morning.
Hearing this, Mo Jian, who had been depressed, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Taihui if he had any suspicions in the process of contacting Mike.
"I'm sure he won't suspect anything. Because the reason I gave was very sufficient, and that was to let him monitor the state of the equipment after it was running. This clause was already written into the contract when the deal was struck with him, so he simply couldn't refuse. Taihui replied very firmly.
Mo Jian listened and nodded: "That's good." When he comes tomorrow, we must put enough pressure on him. Otherwise, I'm afraid that this kid will do something else. ”
Tai Hui smiled slyly: "Don't worry!" On our turf, he can't make any tricks. ”
The next afternoon, Mo Jian and Tai Hui were in the same office and met Mike, who had just arrived in City A.
Since he had just gotten off the plane, Mike looked like he hadn't woken up yet. While yawning, he said to Mo Jian and the others: "Let's hurry up and go to the experience hall to have a look, I still want to go back to the hotel to sleep early!" ”
Mo Jian's eyes stared at him directly, and the serious expression on his face was terrifying.
"Mr. Mike, we have a few questions for you before we go to the experience hall."
It was only then that Mike seemed to notice that something was not quite right with the expressions of his masters. He straightened up and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "President, are you...... What are you going to do here? I don't want to waste my time here for no reason! ”
Tai Hui smiled faintly: "We don't want to either, so let's get involved next." ”
"What's the point? I warn you, if you want to do anything wrong, don't blame me for taking the necessary countermeasures! Perhaps sensing the tension in the air, Mike's eyes widened and he raised his vigilance to the highest level.
Mo Jian smiled slightly bitterly: "Why are you so nervous?" We won't eat you again. It's just that at the moment, we are facing a very serious problem that we urgently need your help to solve. ”
Hearing this, Mike calmed down a little, but his eyes were still full of vigilance: "What's the problem?" You make it clear, and I'll see how I can help. ”
Mo Jian nodded, and then gave Tai Hui beside him a look. Tai Hui nodded understandingly, and told Mike about the low price of the Huo Group Experience Hall on behalf of his boss.
"Impossible!" As soon as Mike finished listening to Tai Hui's description, he stood up excitedly and retorted: "I don't believe Huo Beixiao can set the price so cheap!" ”
Mo Jian spread his hands: "At first, we didn't believe it, this is the fact in front of us!" Mr. Mike, mere surprise is no longer helpful. Therefore, we hope that through your help, we can find the reason why Huo Beixiao is so priced. ”
Hearing this, Mike sat back down on the couch, his brow furrowed and deep in thought.
As the minutes ticked by, the entire office was silent as if no one was there. While Mike was thinking, Mo Jian and Tai Hui just looked at him quietly, not speaking or moving, as if they had been hit by Medusa's petrification magic.
After some time, Mike finally came to his senses and let out a long sigh.
"How's that going Mr. Mike? Any useful clues come to mind? Mo Jian asked expectantly.
Mike took a sip of tea and said with a serious expression, "This is probably one of the biggest problems I've ever faced...... Either way, it's my responsibility to analyze and solve the problem for you. ”
"Yay! Then I will listen to your opinions. ”
Mike smoothed out his thoughts, and then said his thoughts to Mo Jian and Tai Hui: "President, President Tai, let me first analyze several possibilities for Huo Beixiao to set a low price. First, regardless of the cost, they simply want to defeat us by low prices. In fact, this method is a very stupid choice, because we can choose to close the museum temporarily, and wait until he has almost enough money to open the museum and reduce the price......"
"Give him the fatal blow?" Mo Jian added in due course.
Mike nodded, "Not bad." I don't think Huo Beixiao will not think of this, so this first possibility can basically be ruled out. ”
"Then tell me about the second possibility."
"The second one...... It was he who used low-end and cheap technical equipment, thereby reducing operating costs. But just now I heard what Mr. Tai said, the virtual scene effect in his stadium is actually similar to ours, which shows that the value of his equipment is not below ours. So this second possibility does not exist. ”
After listening to Mike's analysis, Taihui asked thoughtfully: "Is it possible that he bought cheap equipment, and then found professionals to upgrade and improve it, so as to forcibly improve it to the same level as us?" ”
Mike smiled wryly and shook his head: "Absolutely impossible! The technical equipment of the virtual set is very sophisticated, and once it is produced, it can only be used or repaired, and there is no way to upgrade it at all. ”
"That's weird...... How did Huo Beixiao reduce costs? Mo Jian crossed his hands together, frowned and leaned back in his chair.
"I imagined a lot of possibilities just now, and in the end, I think that only the third guess that I will talk about below is the most reliable."
As soon as he heard this, Mo Jian, who was originally worried, immediately regained his spirits: "Oh? Let's talk about it! ”
Mike guessed in a low tone: "I suspect that Huo Beixiao only bought hardware, not software!" The software program he uses was written by someone at a later stage, and if that were the case, he would have saved a lot of money on the next software fee. As a result, he was able to reduce his operating costs! ”
"Looking for someone to write a software program? How can there be such an operation? "Tai Hui was very surprised by Mike.
Mike replied with a wry smile: "Of course it's possible!" Although this kind of operation is very risky, for example, it may cause hardware and software mismatch, bugs in the operation of the program, and so on. But once these hidden dangers are solved, the operating cost of the experience hall will be greatly reduced! ”
Mo Jian asked suspiciously: "But if Huo Beixiao does this, won't the merchant who sold him the equipment be held responsible?" ”
"No, it's like you go to the mall and buy a computer. Merchants are only responsible for selling you hardware and basic operating system software, and they don't care about what software you put into your computer after you buy it. ”
Hearing this, Taihui gritted his teeth angrily.
