Chapter 201: People follow the herd
How many people are above the middle class in China?
In any case, the data of the state statistics are definitely inaccurate, these data are all based on people to report income statistics, and there are many more people who are no longer within the scope of state monitoring by means of obtaining income.
But this part of the people was quickly blown up by the Blue Star Company - buying game helmets.
The number of pre-orders for the excellent helmet, which was originally expected to be purchased by not many people, has exceeded 1 million reservations in places such as the official store of Bluestar and the TB mall! 40% of these customers are directly purchasing the most advanced gaming headsets.
Pretty impressive data.
Dai Yanfei was also frightened by this data, "I thought that only a few thousand people would try it, after all, such an expensive price is only a local tyrant would have such spare money." ”
Chen Nuo said with a smile: "There are too many local tyrants in China, how can we know what level of consumption power of Chinese people is if we don't blow it up." ”
Liu Jiangfeng was once again impressed by Chen Nuo's judgment of the market, and the market was obviously operating according to Chen Nuo's vision.
On the price of gaming helmets, there has also been a fierce debate within Bluestar.
As a gaming device, the price of the game helmet from 6999 to 16999 is quite high, this price can even be configured with a computer, Liu Jiangfeng believes that most people will not be able to afford it, and if they can't afford it, there must be no market, and a game without a market has no value for promotion.
Chen Nuo insisted on this kind of pricing, because the game helmet was not aimed at the game "Struggle City", but included the upcoming "Battle" and Bluestar's subsequent game products based on the Aurora chip and Starlight OS.
Chen Nuo looks far ahead, is a game like "Struggle City" really a game? Pure games are not what Chen Nuo is pursuing, this type of game will definitely be a part of people's lives in the future, and the boundary between games and the real world will become smaller and smaller, just like people can't do without WeChat and Weibo in their lives now, and they can't do without future games.
The sensors on the game helmet are also the basis for studying the thinking transmission of the IICE device, and Chen Nuo also needs to collect a large amount of sensor data and game experience in the game, which will be summarized and handed over to Ding Liang of the Blue Star World, who will tackle the problems of the IICE device.
Since there are only 100,000 places in Binhai City, which is about to be launched, the shipment of game helmets this time is only 100,000. For other appointments, the mall customer will communicate with the user whether to continue the purchase or abandon the purchase. If you continue to buy it, the mall will also ship it, but you won't be able to play the game. Those who give up the purchase will get a premium purchase code, and these players will have priority purchase qualifications after the next community server is launched.
"You have to get the game helmet first, and wait for the next server!" This is what most users think.
Fangda Real Estate's son, Wang Chongchong, is also a game enthusiast, and he has to try to play everything from simple mobile games to more complex PC games.
This time, the promotional video of "Struggle City" successfully attracted his attention.
"It's an advanced version of GTA! The virtual reality and player interaction inside is definitely one of the fatal attractions! Wang Chongchong said when chatting with someone, "Those real-life DSs want to be successful people in the game? Hehehe! They are still DS in the game. ”
Wang Chongchong, who has the supremacy of money, believes that as long as he uses money to smash, no matter what game he plays, he will be a success. So he also made an appointment to buy a helmet.
It's a pity that reality gave him a resounding slap in the face!
The first batch of 100,000 helmets with game qualifications is sold out! Even if you buy a gaming helmet now, you are not eligible to play in the first batch.
Who is Wang Chongchong! No one in China dared to give him face like this.
When chatting with customers in Bluestar's TB mall, Wang Chongchong didn't want to pretend to be forced, but he couldn't help but say when he couldn't get the first round of the game: "Won't you look at my TB ID and level?" I don't want to bother people, so I suggest you leave me a spot for the game qualification. ”
The TB customer said directly: "I'm sorry Mr. Wang, I know who you are, but there are regulations above, and this time the quota for the first 100,000 people will come in the order of appointment payment, so I can't do anything." ”
Wang Chongchong: ...... Damn it!
Closing the chat window, Wang Chongchong was quite annoyed. No one has dared to give him such a faceless one. He originally wanted to contact Chen Nuo directly, but found that he had no friendship with Chen Nuo at all. For a game, let Lao Tzu contact Bluestar Company to get the game qualification?
Hehe, it's no wonder that Old Man Wang doesn't kill himself. Wang Chong, who was still angry just now, was angry.
But the desire for the game made him itch in his heart, and it was not his style to continue to be a local tyrant in "Struggle City" if he didn't get the qualifications of the first batch of players to open the server.
In the end, Wang Chongchong found someone and spent 1RMB to buy the first batch of game qualifications.
Bluestar has successively delivered game helmets to customers' homes by courier, and it is less than a day before the launch of "Struggle City".
Wang Chongchong was undoubtedly lucky, and bought the first batch of games from the second-hand market at a high price, but more players who wanted to play "Struggle City" only stared. The servers are full, and the game helmet is out of stock!
Li Dong, who works as a project for a foreign company, is one of them.
Li Dong is a foreign-related energy company in Shanghai, with an annual income of more than 300,000 yuan, and he also has a car and a house in Shanghai, which can be regarded as a middle-class petty bourgeoisie.
But Li Dong is very dissatisfied with his real life, the life of 9 to 5 in the morning is a waste of life for him, but he does not have the courage to give up his high salary and resign to go on a trip.
Therefore, as soon as the promotional video of "Struggle City" came out, he was attracted.
Dreams that can't be realized in real life can be realized in the game!
Sadly, Li Dong did not grab the first batch of game qualifications, and found that the qualifications of the Binhai City server in the second-hand transfer market were fried to 5RMB.
Li Dong, who wanted to start a new life, still spent 5 yuan to buy the first batch of test qualifications, and this one, he and Wang Chongchong, like the 100,000 players in Huaguo, put on helmets and waited for the game to start.
"Xiaoyou, 100,000 people are playing at the same time, there is no problem with the server on your side, right?" Chen Nuo finally confirmed.
"Master, you are underestimating my ability, even if you open a hundred districts, I have no problem."
"Alright, you'll take care of the rest. I'll go to the office and sleep for a while, and I'll come in and have some fun in a while. ”
"Don't worry!"
One hour later, "Struggle City" was launched, and today it is bound to create a miracle in the game industry!
Wang Chongchong rushed over there.
System: "Welcome to "Struggle City", please stay civilized and don't take off your pants at will!" ”
