Chapter 347: Menacing Penguins
Summer goes and winter comes.
Time is in a hurry.
The virtual industry, which has experienced a few months of development, has gradually stabilized like a lowered temperature, and has not set off too many waves.
After the initial excitement.
Virtual technology has gradually integrated into people's lives, and its impact on people has stabilized.
It's like adapting to AI.
It soon became a part of life.
"I just counted that after our equipment sales exceeded 800 million, the growth rate slowed down a lot, and the market should be saturated, or in other words, the outbreak period is almost over."
Flood Waste, conference room.
Lao Song, who was wearing down, stood in front of the stage and held a meeting for the management below.
This time.
They put all their money into the production line and continuously increase the production capacity.
Finally, at the end of this year, we will catch up with the market demand, and there will no longer be a situation where a helmet is hard to find.
As long as you have the money.
You can order online.
Or buy it at Honghuang after-sales stores around the country.
"What about the proportion of domestic and overseas?"
Chen Lin sat next to him and asked.
"3:7, the domestic proportion has been overtaken."
Lao Song replied without thinking.
Ten percent accounts for three percent, which is already a very high proportion, after all, there are so many countries overseas.
It is also thanks to the huge domestic player base, which directly supports one-third of their market.
"What about the proportion of gaming platforms? Is there a higher level than the previous host? Lao Li on the other side asked a question of concern.
"I've had people count this."
Lao Song glanced at him and smiled: "The current situation is similar to what we guessed at the beginning, virtual, PC, mobile phone, and host account for 3:3:3:1 respectively, and the host no longer poses any threat to us." ”
"Ah, is it only 3 percent?"
Ah Guang at the bottom couldn't help but speak.
He thought it would be at least 50 percent.
"3 percent is already very high, okay?"
Another team leader interjected: "We have only been creating a platform for a long time, and we have directly equaled the accumulation of PCs and mobile phones for decades, and other companies are expected to wake up laughing when they dream." ”
"Indeed."
Lao Song nodded: "Although the virtual end is the most cutting-edge technology, it cannot completely replace computers and mobile phones, and it is much better than I expected to win 3% of the market in such a short time." ”
3 into the market, not domestic.
It's the whole gaming market!
Even at the peak of Ren Tiandi, it only accounts for half of the entire game market!
It's enough to see how terrifying this ratio is.
"It's a pity that I couldn't kill the host directly."
Lao Li said greedily.
Lao Song smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's still very difficult to kill in a short period of time, after all, people have been developing for so many years, and the accumulation is there." ”
"However, in the future, the host side porting really does not need to be considered, so our future focus will be on virtual, PC, and mobile phones!"
"I'm done with my words, let's see if Mr. Chen has anything else to add, or if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask."
He nodded to Chen Lin and sat back in his seat.
After listening, the people below also began to talk to each other, looking at the report on the big screen from time to time.
"I have a question."
At this time, the leader of the backstage group raised his hand and attracted everyone's attention.
Old Song didn't speak, and nodded at him.
"That's it...... During this time, I counted the sales of various games on the virtual side, and found that the performance of action games is not very good, and there are horror games, I want to ask if I want to reduce the promotion and exposure of these two types of games. ”
"Action and horror?"
Chen Lin and Lao Song glanced at each other, a little surprised.
Of course, they also know that it is not possible for all games to be suitable for porting virtual terminals, so they have been paying attention to the data changes of various games during this time.
"Do you know why?" Chen Lin asked.
"In the case of action, it is mainly because the operation is too difficult, and many players can't adapt to it, and the horror class is simpler, but the sense of substitution is too strong...... There have been many players who have been forced to go offline in fear. ”
"I see."
Chen Lin touched his chin and probably understood the reason.
Think about it too.
Not everyone has the reflex nerves of an athlete, and it is impossible to maintain the high-intensity combat of an action game all the time.
"Sword Art Online" also occupies the emerging outlet of the virtual terminal, so it will have today's popularity, and the proportion of casual players is very large.
Not to mention horror games.
Who likes to find guilt if they have nothing to do.
After all, there are only a few who are bold.
"In that case, let's do what you said, and change the focus of our future projects, and those that are not suitable for porting virtual terminals are still focusing on PCs and mobile phones as before, does anyone else have anything to say?"
"I have ......"
One employee raised his hand and talked about the problems he was having at work.
The whole meeting was very long, lasting almost two hours.
Until near noon.
Only then did the crowd disperse and leave.
Chen Lin discussed with Lao Song and Lao Li what takeout to order at noon.
"I won't order takeout today, I'll bring a bento."
Lao Li pointed to the bento box that he brought over to prepare a hot one.
"Oh, I love my wife's lunch, I can't see that your wife is very virtuous."
"Okay, didn't you say she's pregnant?"
Chen Lin Lao Song raised his eyebrows, and his expression was slightly ridiculous.
When the employees on the side heard this, their heads also followed.
"Wow! Brother Li actually has a beloved wife's lunch, so happy. ”
"Old Litou, you are not kind, what about going to eat pig's feet rice together?"
"Married men are really different, when can I get off the single......"
The male employees are envious and jealous, and the female employees are starry-eyed, which makes the office area lively.
Lao Li, who originally just wanted to show off a little, suddenly turned red.
"Go, go, get me back to work! If you want to eat it yourself, find your wife to do it! ”
The annoyed and angry look was indeed different from the previous Lao Li, and Chen Lin and Lao Song next to him wanted to laugh.
"You're just going to be proud, it's only been a year or two."
Lao Song said in the tone of a passer-by.
Not long since.
He is also a person who has a beloved wife's lunch box at work.
Now......
Order a takeout to deal with it.
Chen Lin is not to mention more.
Two lives, he is not interested in love, love, or anything, does he really need to spend money to solve the problem? It can also be repeated every day.
It can only be said that every generation has its own way of living.
didn't bother to pay attention to Lao Li, a lunch traitor, and Lao Song and Lao Song were going to go downstairs to eat something casually.
"Mr. Chen! Big news! ”
Suddenly, a shout came from afar.
The manager of the marketing department hurried over, with an anxious look on his face.
"Is something wrong?"
Chen Lin and Lao Song stopped, and Lao Li, who had just returned from a hot meal, also came over curiously.
The manager glanced around, leaned over and whispered: "Penguin, Juqing, and several large foreign manufacturers have just spread the news that virtual technology has made a major breakthrough, and new virtual equipment may be launched soon!" ”
"Are you sure!?"
Old Song's eyes lit up.
"Sure! I heard through the relationship, and the fastest is already setting up the production line! ”
"yes, I see."
Chen Lin's expression was restrained, and he looked at Lao Song and Lao Li: "Wait until you come to my office, and talk while eating." ”
this day.
It's finally here.
However, they have been preparing for so long, so they don't need to worry too much, they just need to discuss countermeasures in advance.
So after saying that, they all left in a hurry and got ready.
……
In the afternoon of the same day.
Sure enough, it was the same message they received.
A sensational news suddenly appeared on major platforms.
Penguin's first-generation virtual device is about to go on sale!
And as originally said, it will be officially released on the 10th of next month at an ultra-low price of 5,000 yuan!
Realism.
20%!
As soon as this news came out.
The whole gaming world was in an uproar.
Major manufacturers are even more alarmed.
"Really?"
"Penguin's virtual device has been made?"
"It's about the same time as expected!"
"Wouldn't 20% virtuality be a little too low?"
"What's wrong with low? 5,000 dollars, what more bicycles. ”
"I heard that there are also several large foreign factories that are ready to move, is the competition finally about to begin?"
"After enduring it for so long, there are finally more options to appear!"
Just as they expected.
Following the penguin, several large manufacturers at home and abroad immediately announced that the research and development of virtual devices has entered the final stage and will start mass production at the end of this year or early next year.
Officially entered the virtual industry!
This is tantamount to an eighteen-magnitude earthquake for the entire game and even the film and television industry.
Major companies have convened emergency meetings to discuss the matter.
Players have studied the cost performance of various virtual devices through the news released, and there is a lot of noise on the Internet.
The spectacle was spectacular.
It's just a fight with the Neon Nation when they dump garbage into the sea.
"If you want me to say, it still depends on whose game is more and more fun, and the rest is just icing on the cake."
In the live broadcast room.
Old E sat in front of the computer, analyzing the current situation.
Players stationed on the platform are nothing more than valuing the games inside.
Whoever can come up with a more attractive game will naturally grab more users, which is an eternal truth.
"But the problem is that people's equipment is cheap."
"A device like a penguin, although the fidelity is a little lower, but the price is only one-third of the flood."
"Do you only buy things based on price and not quality?"
"I also want to only look at the quality, but the fidelity will be improved, and my salary will not rise."
"Grass! Pierced in the heart. ”
The audience in the live broadcast room was arguing, discussing which equipment should be the right one to buy.
Now that Honghuang Virtual has been launched for so long, those who can afford to buy it have basically already started.
If you haven't started yet, you just feel that it's too expensive and are reluctant to spend that money.
Either they are waiting and seeing, hoping that through the competition between capitals, the price will be brought down.
"Look on the Internet, the penguin has sent a new message!"
Suddenly, a barrage crossed the live broadcast room.
Lao E looked puzzled, clicked on the homepage of Weibo, and sure enough, he saw a new message at a glance.
[Penguin Games (Official): To celebrate the creation of this virtual platform, we will directly launch 150 new games on the day of the device's release, as well as the horror-themed exclusive masterpiece "Death Horror", taking you to enjoy the most realistic horror experience! 】
[At the same time, we will assure you that the realism of the equipment will continue to improve, and you can trade in the old for the new at half price, replace the latest equipment, put an end to high premiums, and let the virtual return to normal! 】
"What the hell, 150 games?"
"This penguin is too rich, it was originally sold at a loss, and it was even promised to be replaced at half price!"
I have to say.
As a world-renowned enterprise, Penguin still has a very good set of operations and is willing to spend money.
Knowing that his disadvantage is realism, he directly launched a half-price exchange activity, which solved the players' worries at once.
So far.
The best way to get ahead of the crack.
Of course.
This requires terrifying financial resources and determination to do so.
It seems that the capital behind Penguin is determined to win the virtual industry.
But think about it.
Look at the current flood.
It is precisely because of the virtual situation that the status at home and abroad has risen, and even overshadowed many large manufacturers.
Those who see the capital of the money.
How could they be willing to let such a big piece of cake be swallowed by the wilderness?
