Chapter 201: Lilith's Other Thinker

Monday, February 10th.

Last weekend, the business transformation work of Reverse Heaven has been smoothly arranged, and the follow-up work is quickly on the right track.

In terms of the main game business, Zhou Yang and Wei Chengjie took over the banner of Mr. Gu, and began to quickly complete the detailed design draft of "Road Rage Simulator" according to Lilith's requirements, and formulated a work plan, which is expected to be completed in about three months.

In terms of the new business that will be developed, Gu Fan has also started to be busy.

He first finalized the site and found a three-story shop along the street between the North Third Ring Road and the North Fourth Ring Road in the imperial capital, as the first experience store of the game against heaven.

It is close to the subway station of Line 10, and there is a heritage park to the south, a shopping park to the north, and a walk to the National Olympic Sports Center, the National Museum of Ethnology, shopping malls, and hotels.

A little farther away, there are also universities such as the University of International Business and Economics, the University of Chemical Technology, and the United University.

The transportation is convenient, the nearby environment is not bad, and the flow of people is relatively dense, there are many residential communities and universities, and the location of the first experience store is quite suitable.

To get to this experience store from Reverse Heaven's current office location, you need to transfer to Line 10 from the Western Suburbs Line by subway, which takes about 50 minutes.

This time is quite unacceptable if it is placed in other cities, but it can only be said to be a normal commuting time in the imperial capital.

If you look at the map, the Western Suburbs Line and Line 10 are exactly in a straight line, there are basically no detours, and you only need to change trains once, so this location can barely be regarded as "relatively close".

Lilith said that she couldn't spare Gu Fan from the pain of commuting, so she very generously paid out of her own pocket and opened a suite for Gu Fan in a nearby five-star hotel for him to live in.

But her actual purpose Gu Fan couldn't be clearer.

Obviously, Lilith hopes that Gu Fan can stay away from the current office location of Reverse Heaven and try not to affect the development of new games as much as possible!

In this regard, Gu Fan naturally will not break it.

After finalizing the site, Gu Fan immediately arranged the decoration. He came up with his own set of decoration plans, and presumably after completion, he will definitely be able to surprise players.

In addition, for the co-branded peripherals of "Road Rage Simulator", Gu Fan also contacted domestic hardware manufacturers as soon as possible.

There are three kinds of co-branded peripherals this time, namely a conventional controller, a conventional keyboard, and an unconventional controller steering wheel.

In terms of handles, Gu Fan found a relatively good handle manufacturer in China, Zhitong handle.

This handle manufacturer has accounted for more than 40% of the market share in China, and even surpassed the three major handle manufacturers abroad. Of course, this is not to say that the quality of the Zhitong handle is enough to crush the major foreign manufacturers, but simply because the various models of the Zhitong handle basically cover all price points and are very popular in the low-end market.

However, in recent years, Zhitong handles have also begun to make efforts to the high-end, and the flagship handle has come to a price of about 550 yuan, which is basically the same as the price of foreign manufacturers.

But even so, the flagship model of the Zhitong handle sells well.

This is because the Zhitong handle can apply some new technologies earlier, such as Hall trigger, Hall joystick, optical axis button, intelligent refresh rate adjustment, replaceable button module, 4 back buttons + 2 additional shoulder buttons, AI and macro functions, etc.

These rich functions allow Zhitong's flagship handle to have a certain comparative advantage in the same price as the three major handle manufacturers.

Although there is still a certain gap with foreign handle manufacturers in terms of detail feel, it is already a new force that cannot be ignored in the domestic market.

Gu Fan has roughly provided his needs to the relevant personnel of Zhitong, and made an appointment to discuss in detail the specific configuration of the co-branded handle in two days, as well as the detailed plan of this micro steering wheel handle.

The co-branded handle is easy to say, Gu Fan casually chooses one of the handle models currently produced by Zhitong, and then changes the pattern of the handle shell.

However, the micro steering wheel handle has never appeared in Zhitong's products before, and how to do it has to be communicated in depth and discussed in the long run.

As for the steering wheel, Gu Fan chose the current top direct-drive steering wheel brand speed claw.

There are many different solutions for steering wheels, originally for price reasons, there are other solutions such as gears and belts, but in recent years, with the end of domestic manufacturers, the market for direct-drive steering wheels has become more and more volatile, and the price has become lower and lower.

Considering the large lead of the direct-drive steering wheel in terms of experience, it doesn't make much sense to consider other options.

Gu Fan also made an appointment with the relevant person in charge of the speed claw steering wheel, and then finalized the specific design of this co-branded steering wheel.

In terms of basic functions, Gu Fan doesn't have too many requirements, but just hopes to be able to launch an additional small operation panel.

This panel is roughly the size of a one-handed keyboard, with buttons that simulate the various function buttons on a vehicle's dashboard.

After all, Road Rage Simulator is a game where players need to perform various actions in the car, as well as get out of the car to save people, and all of these actions need to be done with the help of specific buttons.

Of course, players can also choose to use their own keyboard and mouse directly, but considering that a whole keyboard is a little inconvenient after all, and players have to follow the key prompts to find various functions, which is a little inconvenient, so Gu Fan also hopes to launch such an operation panel, and the buttons on it directly indicate various operations, so that players can see at a glance.

In this way, all the work was smoothly arranged, and the game of Paradise quickly entered the next stage.

……

7 p.m. near a large amusement park on the East Fourth Ring Road.

Lilith arrives at the door of a haunted house called the Hellcave and pushes the door open.

Sitting at the front desk was the proprietress of this haunted house, named Qin Fengliang, who looked to be in her twenties, with straight black and long hair, and looked like a royal sister.

However, at this time, there were obviously no guests in the haunted house, and she also looked listless, chasing dramas while munching melon seeds, which caused a considerable weakening of the horror atmosphere of the haunted house.

Hearing that someone entered, Qin Fengliang didn't raise his head: "The ticket is 30, scan the code to pay to get the ticket." ”

After waiting for a moment and finding that the other party had not moved, Qin Fengliang raised his head, and then said in surprise: "Huh? Mr. Li! What the wind is blowing you! Sorry, it's Monday and there aren't many guests, so I'm ......"

Lilith waved her hand very generously: "It's okay, I said a long time ago that you can catch up on the drama during work hours, it doesn't matter." As my confidant, you have this privilege! ”

Qin Fengliang was quite moved: "Mr. Li, please take a seat, do you have any instructions for coming this time?" ”

Lilith sat down on the sofa next to her and shook her head slightly: "The condition of the haunted house is very good, keep it up, I don't have any instructions!" But...... I have something to do and would like to get some advice from you. ”

Qin Fengliang hurriedly nodded: "No problem, Mr. Li, you say it's okay!" ”

The "Purgatory Demon Cave" haunted house is a successful investment project of the Hell Negative Emotions Collection Office, and Lilith has always regarded Qin Fengliang as her minister.

In hindsight, the "Purgatory Cave" haunted house has almost all kinds of success factors.

First of all, it is near the largest amusement park in the imperial capital, and because the amusement park has a very large number of visitors, you can make the haunted house of the "Purgatory Demon Cave" full if you miss a few visitors.

The interior decoration of the haunted house in the "Purgatory Cave" is also the idea given by Lilith, however, this haunted house is not particularly scary, it can only be said to be of an average level.

At this point, some disputes broke out between Lilith and Qin Fengliang at that time.

Lilith's idea is to directly fill the horror level of the haunted house to the fullest!

But Qin Fengliang disagrees with this view, she believes that doing so will only backfire and collect less negative emotions.

Because if the haunted house is too scary, it will directly dissuade ordinary tourists, and instead attract those avid horror lovers. These people will certainly be frightened, but they will also burst into a lot of positive emotions after the shock, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And Qin Fengliang's plan is just to build a very ordinary haunted house, the scene is not big or complicated, and there is no particularly scary link, the only highlight is the purgatory-style decoration style.

Lilith was originally surprised, it wasn't scary, how to collect negative emotions?

But soon, after the operation of this haunted house, it really provided a lot of negative emotions.

After the summary, it was found that Qin Fengliang's thinking was completely correct.

For those avid horror lovers, this haunted house is nothing scary at all, and it will feel boring after the experience; And those ordinary tourists who read the evaluation and said that it was not scary, were forcibly pulled in by their friends, and then immediately cried with fright.

Both of these groups contributed considerable negative emotions!

Although this has led to a sharp decline in the reputation of the haunted house, and the revenue is not as good as year after year, after all, it is located on the edge of the amusement park, and the passenger flow is too large, so even if it is a hammer deal, it can be done stably.

It is precisely for this reason that Qin Fengliang suddenly became Lilith's minister and was highly trusted!

Considering that the daily operation of the haunted house has been stabilized, in order not to let Qin Fengliang's ingenuity be wasted, Lilith came to the door again, hoping to make her her own think tank and continue to give advice for herself!
