The sales of Space Box continued to be hot, with sales exceeding 8 million units in the first three quarters, and the number of registered users worldwide exceeded 20 million. The sales data for the fourth quarter has not yet been counted, but there is no pressure to achieve the goal of selling 10 million sets of boxes and 30 million registered game users for the whole year.

The price of the box has always remained unchanged at $50,000, which is a strategy set by Mei Yiqiu, and the total sales revenue for the whole year suddenly exceeded the annual turnover of the world's No. 1 Walmart Group. If it weren't for the fact that the production lines of FSK and HW companies could not keep up, this figure would be even more terrifying.

Although Mei Yiqiu spun off the distribution rights of the game and the sales channels of the space box to many different companies in order to quickly spread it around the world, the newly established technology company for this game under the Third Space Foundation has risen rapidly, and even the Mei Lab, which has the core technology, has become the darling of the capital market.

Capitalists with a keen sense of smell came to visit Professor Mei in an endless stream, hoping to get a piece of the promising project. Professor Mei was so annoyed that he finally closed his door and disappeared, only contacting the outside world through the internal quantum communication network.

This relieved Hou Biao, who was very nervous for a while, and also made Mei Ziqing dizzy recently.

The Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated again, and the first day of the Lunar New Year is the first anniversary of the release of the "Dream Guide" game and Space Box, and the Penguin Group, which is responsible for the game publishing, has proposed to hold a global annual festival before the year to make the game better promoted. Universal International and BFB also support the idea.

It doesn't matter what Mei wants. He is well aware that the appeal of Dream Guide is not comparable to those brainless games. Those games need to be constantly promoted and stardom to stimulate consumption, but Dream Guide doesn't. It's a game that's more addictive than opium, and once you've gone in and played it once, you've created a world of your own, and you're never going to be able to put it down.

It doesn't rely on the shoddy worldview of the game planners and architects, it uses all the memories in your mind to reconstruct a whole new world from your subconscious. You can let your imagination run wild, and in this game, there's nothing impossible, only the unexpected.

When you created this world, this world exists. It remains as real as it is in your memory, in your dreams, in your subconscious, just like your past and future lives. You will gradually see it as a real world parallel to this world, and you will be obsessed with it and unwilling to give it up, just as you were reluctant to leave it when you first came to this world.

However, several companies have done a good job in the annual ceremony plan, Mei Yiqiu is also happy to see it, and it is also a good thing to promote a little progress, the new domestic production base has been built, three new production lines are being tested, and production can be increased after the year.

This festival project not only invited a large number of celebrities, but also brought together many top rich people and investors, because the world's first players were originally rich, so this game was first recognized in the circle of the rich.

Although he agreed, Mei Yiqiu had his own ideas. He doesn't want to turn the annual event into a farce, nor does he want to provoke the revulsion of most of the world's people who can't afford to play the game yet.

Those investors may not care about the feelings of the poor, because the circle of the rich alone can make enough money. In their eyes, such an expensive box, selling 10 million sets a year, will develop the middle class ten years later, and it will take 30 years before the technical cost is significantly reduced to spread to ordinary consumer groups. This is unbearable for capital, so their annual festival plan has completely become a feast for the rich and a display in front of the poor.

Kemei's goal is to sell 1 billion units within five years!

Except for a few core members of the team, he never said anything about this goal. When he said it, people would only call him an "old madman".

The number of rich people is limited, and it is impossible to sell too much at the current cost of the space box, but Mei Yiqiu has his price reduction plan, and even in the end, this box can be used without money, so that the poor can afford it. He can't tell investors these things, because it's useless to say them.

So he could only use a tough stance to change their grand plan and go in the direction he wanted. He doesn't want to disgust the poor, and is more worried about revealing the true purpose of the game.

Mei Ziqing was so busy with this that she needed to convey Professor Mei's meaning to those who planned this grand ceremony, but the brains of these rich people and the professor's brains were not the same thing, they took themselves too seriously, or their money too seriously, and the professor disdained to talk to them directly, so Mei Ziqing had to be a microphone between them over and over again.

Later, probably the professor was also annoyed and said to Mei Ziqing: "Whoever takes himself seriously again, let him get out!" ”

"They all invested money, and they said that if we didn't do what they wanted, we would withdraw it," Mei said. ”

The professor said, "Fuck the money!" The least valuable thing in the world is money! If they want to withdraw their investment, they will withdraw and someone else will do it, I don't care! ”

"But Professor, we signed a contract with them."

"The Yankees also signed the Paris Agreement!"

With Mei Yiqiu's instructions, Mei Ziqing's speech at the investor meeting began to become hard, and as soon as she was hard, those investors immediately coaxed, and repeatedly said that they would continue to support the release of the game and the sales of the space box as always, as for the global festival, everything was according to Professor Mei's meaning.

Mei Ziqing finally knows the face of some people, when you hand him a piece of cake, he always wants to take a bite of your hand while disgusting, but if you press the cake directly on his face, he will obediently lick his share, and will never covet the rest of your hand.

"Professor, everything is arranged." Mei Ziqing came back to report.

"Oh, hard work!" Mei Yiqiu took her pipe in her mouth and spewed out a puff of smoke, and her white hair exploded, and it seemed to be stiffer than before.

"Professor, you don't turn on the purification system!"

Mei Ziqing reached out to press the switch on the wall, but was stopped by Mei Yiqiu.

"Don't move, that's good!" Mei Yiqiu's face hid behind the smoke, "If you're afraid of smoke, go out first." ”

"I'm fine, Professor. I'm just worried about your body. Mei Ziqing said after catching up with the second-hand smoke around her.

Mei Yiqiu has been looking at the computer screen, on which are the data analysis tables. He pointed to a line of numbers on the screen with his pipe and said, "The game's stats are still a bit problematic!" ”

"What's wrong, Professor?" Mei Ziqing asked.

Mei Yiqiu said: "Through the data collected by the space box in the dark box stage, there are only more than 300 people who have been abnormal so far, and these people are all suspected parasites. But the number of registered players in the game is close to 30 million, and according to this number, the parasitic ratio is only a little more than 1 in 100,000. ”

Mei Ziqing said in surprise: "Isn't this proportion still high?" There are 7 billion people in the world, more than 1 in 100,000 people, more than 70,000, which means that 100,000 people in the world have been parasitized, I think this is already very scary! ”
