Chapter 128: Duke's Ambition
Duke got rid of the mundane things of the company's management, remembered the customization of the brainwave game, and took a look at the game he co-developed, good guys, there are more than 2.5 million registered users, and the highest number of online concurrent users at the same time has exceeded 1 million!
The game has now become a cash cow for Shengda and SAL. The gross income has soared from more than 100 million yuan to more than 500 million yuan per month, and it is still rising.
Seeing that this game is so hot, Shengda Company is working at full speed to develop a new expansion based on Duke's novel, and now Duke's novel has basically entered the end of the serialization on the website, and has become the hottest novel of the year.
The wireless version on the ten chapters of the delay is also popular, ranking first in the list of wireless reading, and it is also very profitable, and there are hundreds of thousands of wireless dividends on Duke's bank card every month, but Duke basically uses a credit card in the United States, and this card was useless after he handed it to his family, although it is not clear that he has millions of savings on that card.
So novels and games complement each other, resulting in the current situation where the two are popular.
Seeing this, Duke couldn't help but bring up the current version of the game and began to transform the custom brainwave version. The voice version is so successful, and the brainwave version has some market for it, Duke is looking forward to it.
During this period, Duke took the time to return to his hometown, which made his parents very happy, and now Duke's parents basically know the general situation of Duke, for their son who suddenly became rich, the two old people have no other requirements, and they do not want to move to Rongcheng to live, for them, it is still a small place like their hometown to live comfortably.
Every month Cai Siqiang hits their accounts, they never spend all the money. Although they now understand that with Duke's net worth, they don't have to worry about anything at all. But the thrifty habits developed throughout their lives have made their lives almost the same as in the past. However, there are people around who encounter three disasters and six difficulties, and the old couple can help them, but most of them go with the flow and do not show the mountains and water.
Outside, the old couple was very tight-mouthed, just saying that their son went to the United States to study for a doctorate and made some money, as for how much, the old couple never said a word. The information in the small place should be blocked, so that the peaceful life of the old couple can continue, and everyone will think that Duke is working in the United States.
Seeing that his parents were satisfied, Duke did not insist on moving to Rongcheng to live, anyway, he would have to return to the United States in a short time, and his parents could live wherever they liked. Just to upgrade the computer and broadband at home, Duke has specially developed a voice control system, so that parents can basically turn on the computer and dictate a few commands to be able to video chat online, and it doesn't matter how far or near the distance is.
By the time these things were done, Duke had been back home for almost ten days. It's time to go back to the United States. Before returning to China, Duke invited Qin Chu of Shengda Company to demonstrate his customized version of the brainwave.
Qin Chu was once again stunned by Duke's invention. He helped Duke build a computer room for brainwave games, but he didn't expect that Duke would be able to port it to this jointly developed game so soon.
"Duke, is this your brainwave telekinetic helmet?" Qin Chu couldn't believe his eyes. "You don't need to do any actions at all, you can manipulate the actions of the characters just by thinking about it?"
"You can feel it for yourself" Duke smiled and took off his helmet, put it on Qin Chu's head without saying anything, and then opened the helmet command learning interface, "Click on this, then meditate and recite this command in your mind, repeat it five or six times, and then click on the next command to repeat the process, after everything is done, we can do a test and play." ”
Duke briefly explained the steps of use, Qin Chu followed Duke's instructions one by one, and then entered the test interface, very good, Qin Chu's psychological quality is very stable, the test passed 100%, and then after entering the game, Qin Chu entered his own test account.
Up, down, left, right, walking, running, jumping, etc., as soon as this idea comes to mind, the characters in the game begin to act according to this, and it is simply a thought.
After trying it out for a while, Qin Chu took off his helmet and said with an amazed face: "It's amazing!" This mode of operation has begun to approach virtual reality infinitely, and if it can be turned into a 3D display in terms of display, it is really immersive. ”
Hearing Qin Chu say this, Duke couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, this 3D display doesn't seem to be impossible to do, well, go back to the United States to study it, if you can research it, you can just have another new product. However, Duke is not here to get inspiration today, but is going to talk to Qin Chu about a new business.
"Mr. Qin, how is this thing, is there a market?" Duke asked.
"Yes, absolutely, how can there be no market for such a magical thing," Qin Chu replied affirmatively. "Can you reserve exclusive rights for our company's games?"
This Qin Chu's business vision is really powerful, seeing that Kerry's war can be customized, he immediately thought of other competitors, and subconsciously wanted to keep the unique weapon of his game, now although Kerry's war is in a mess, but who doesn't want to keep the leading position for a long time? The longer it can maintain its technological superiority, the better it will be for Shengda.
But Qin Chu's request is not what Duke wants, Duke also wants to open up a larger market for brainwave helmets in this way.
"It's okay for a short time, but not in the long run." Duke refused. "This game we jointly developed, I want to know, if we change the game customization of other companies and we sell brainwave helmets, do you think it is possible to share the value generated by this part of the users who use brainwave helmets?"
After speaking, Duke looked at Qin Chu nervously. Customize all online games suitable for brainwave helmets, and then sell brainwave helmets to share the user value of using brainwave helmets, this is a golden idea that Duke came up with, but whether this idea will be recognized by the industry, Duke has no bottom in his heart, Qin Chu is a big name in the game industry, his views are very important to Duke.
Qin Chu obviously didn't expect Duke to still have such an idea, he didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head and pondered. It seems that this idea is too fanciful and has no precedent to follow at all, so Qin Chu is not sure whether it will work or not for a while.
"Maybe, but there are several hurdles in between." Qin Chu thought for a while and said cautiously. "First of all, this billing aspect is more difficult, not that it is technically unattainable, but this billing data has always been the core secret of game companies, and I think many companies will have concerns about this kind of cooperation."
"Secondly, the distribution of benefits is not easy to grasp, if it is an exclusive supply, things will be easier to do, and it will not have any adverse impact on the game company for the new brainwave operation users and ordinary operation users. But if it's not exclusive, gaming companies will worry that this brainwave helmet will dilute the development of ordinary users. ”
"Therefore, this question is not easy to explain clearly, and you need to do some market research, public testing or something to verify it to be sure."
In fact, Qin Chu tended to be no, but Qin Chu couldn't say it so bluntly, something like this, if it was an exclusive supply, but what kind of operation did the user change, the meat would always rot in his own pot. However, for the general promotion and customization, it is a bit big for the game company to agree to share the share on their own interests.
In the extreme, if a game customizes the brainwave operation mode, only the existing users switch to brainwave operation, but there are no new users, then the game company will pay this additional fee in vain. In this way, the use of this brainwave helmet is completely worth the cost.
The owner of a game company in his normal thinking thinks about this problem. So Qin Chu felt that it was very difficult. If you want to distinguish between the users who only add the use of brainwave helmets, there is also a part of this part that I naturally want to increase, or because of the use of brainwave helmets.
Obviously, if you can't figure out this issue of interests, the boss of the game company will not agree to the sharing.
"What if we can form a brainwave game access platform and access it from this platform?" Duke asked unrelentingly.
"If you can add new users in this way, it will be much easier to negotiate this sharing agreement," Qin Chu said, this is completely equivalent to adding new development user channels to game companies, without crowding out existing promotion channels, and by increasing the cake of game manufacturers to get a piece of the pie, of course, it will be much less difficult.
However, Qin Chu doesn't think that this method has much practicality, because the clients of each game are different, and it is not easy to develop a platform that can be connected to different game manufacturers.
"Well, then it seems that it is very necessary to build a brainwave game access platform" Duke heard Qin Chu say this, muttering to himself, as for the technical difficulty of developing this platform, he directly ignored it.
After confirming that his idea was feasible, Duke let go of the problem and instead discussed with Qin Chu how to promote the customized version of the brainwave of the game Kerry's War. Duke decided to make this game, which is half of his own, a sample for promotion, so he had a very in-depth discussion with Qin Chu.
In the end, the two of them have discussed a framework for promotion, Qin Chu, a big name in the industry, originally ate and planned this bowl of rice, and it is a familiar way to promote such a new gadget, this is an excellent theme for further hyping the game, how could Qin Chu miss such an opportunity.
In this way, the first batch of 100,000 sets is expected to be promoted, and the framework plan for the long-term promotion of 500,000 sets has been drummed out.
Duke's ambition to get involved in the gaming industry on a large scale through a brainwave helmet was thus a crucial step.
