[Chapter 273: The more you sell, the more you lose? 】
"The virtual world, just like what we just experienced, can do anything, doppelganger, soaring, changing, piloting fighter jets and other strange abilities, but these are forbidden in the community, the community is a place where everyone must obey the order, and the real world, in the community also has an AI-played cyber police, anyone who does not obey the order in the public community will be punished accordingly, and even permanently banned from connecting to the virtual world, which will take time to improve step by step. But in the game world, you can do anything. In my world, you are the master. ”
Ren Hong opened his hands, looked at Zuckerberg in astonishment, and said, "The virtual world, a new experience, unprecedented." Here, for users, it is a new, unprecedented, omnipotent, can't put down the fantasy and perfect world, for all kinds of businesses, it is full of endless opportunities and wealth, the only thing lacking is only the vision and creativity to find opportunities. ”
"This is the virtual information age......" Zuckerberg muttered to himself.
The human world is about to change. This is Zuckerberg's only thought at this time, this creation-like initiative will subvert the way of life of human beings, enrich human life at the same time, change the course of human civilization, when the virtual world is universal to all mankind, human beings will have two worlds, the illusory Elysium and the real world.
At this moment, Zuckerberg knew what a rare opportunity Facebook has, is this Ren Hongwei's return of $12 billion?
If this is considered an investment, it will definitely be the most profitable one of Zuckerberg's lives.
For Zuckerberg, who is an Internet practitioner, he knows very well how rare it is, which means that being one step ahead of others is a big advantage.
"Seeing all of this, nothing can stop me from being a community." Zuckerberg said solemnly.
Ren Hong said with a smile: "Matrix Technology has been emphasizing that it will not do content, and the 'gene' and 'character' of Matrix Technology determine our development direction and positioning, and we are destined not to do content, so you never have to worry about me entering the social field." Facebook focuses on social networking and uses its strengths to its advantage, and in the future, a trillion-dollar market value is not a dream. ”
"Thanks!" Zuckerberg said sincerely. He is well aware of what this first-mover advantage means for Facebook.
"It doesn't have to be so, the names XlouS and Facebook are destined to have extraordinary meanings, in a sense, Facebook made XlouS, and now XlouS gives back to Facebook, everything is right. I hope we don't become competitors, I'm Max's godfather. Ren Hong smiled and said.
When Zuckerberg heard this, he immediately smiled lightly, "I don't think anyone wants to compete with XlouS." Max will block it too. ”
"Haha!"
"Ha~!"
The atmosphere is becoming more and more lively, Ren Hong continued the topic, and said: "Making content is your forte, especially doing social, the virtual world will definitely become rich and colorful by more and more participants in the future, but at the beginning, he is now a blank sheet of paper, and someone needs to depict it, without enough good content, everything is just decoration and empty talk." It was a tough start, and I needed Facebook to take the lead in making a better community when the virtual world was launched, and to attract the first users through virtual games. ”
"No problem." Zuckerberg nodded and asked, "But how can Facebook get involved?" ”
Ren Hong said: "You choose a reliable team to matrix technology, and we will teach them something new. In the future, as the virtual world is launched on the market, some open-source databases will be published, and everyone who is interested in it will be able to add their own creativity to the world. ”
Zuckerberg: "Okay! ”
"There's one more question." Zuckerberg said: "The user is the premise and foundation of everything, this product is perfect, but users need a client to connect to the virtual world, that is, a perception helmet, such a cutting-edge technology product, the price should not be cheap, too expensive will also inhibit the popularization effect, although we all know that it will ban the current Internet, but a long time means high investment and slow returns." ”
Zuckerberg thought about it, but still asked: "I take the liberty of asking, I wonder how much XlouS sells for client-side perception helmets?" ”
"You're right." Ren Hong nodded and said, "The price of the first-generation perception helmet will be suppressed at $4,500, the cheaper the better." ”
$4,500 is equal to the cost price, Ren Hong has no intention of making a penny on the client at all, and the most profitable piece of the virtual world is undoubtedly the platform's share of revenue. Compared with the platform profits, the client is not worth mentioning at all, the number of users is the most valuable, one more user connected to the virtual world, can indirectly bring more uninterrupted income to Matrix Technology, no matter he consumes in any sector of the virtual world, Matrix Technology can obtain indirect benefits from the platform.
As long as users enter the virtual world, there will always be a place to consume, and as long as they consume, Matrix Technology can obtain indirect benefits.
That's the advantage of being a platform.
"$4,500?" Zuckerberg was surprised and said, "How can it be so cheap?" ”
In his opinion, such cutting-edge technology products are at least reasonable at a retail price of tens of thousands of dollars.
"$4,500 is basically the cost price." Ren Hong said: "The popularity of this price, I even think it is too expensive, I am considering whether to sell at a loss below the cost price, if necessary, it is not impossible to make a loss-making transaction." Ren Hong smiled and looked at Zuckerberg like a wood carving.
Zuckerberg was speechless on the spot, selling below cost price? This is equivalent to the more you sell, the more you lose, and I am afraid that there will be no second one in the world. He didn't expect Ren Honglai to make such a move at all, but Zuckerberg also knew that this kind of real loss-making business was not necessarily a positive loss.
This is very in line with the development model of the Internet first burning money to promote and cultivate the market and then operate, but it is more extreme, which can also reflect from the side, the huge potential of the virtual world market, perhaps matrix technology lost tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars when promoting the client and accumulating the number of users, but maybe in the second year it will be able to recover the cost and achieve profitability, the immediate benefits and the final benefits are not at the same level at all, after the virtual world becomes the mainstream, the annual income of matrix technology can even be rich.
You know, he earns every participant's money, and no one is missing, just thinking about that terrifying revenue is crazy!
