Chapter 267: A 50,000 US Knife, a Crazy Market, a Scalper Who Makes Hemp!
“…… The product that is sold together with the Dream game pod, as well as the "Mysterious Recovery" co-branded holographic VR game in my hand, due to the high degree of restoration, the horror index is off the charts, and it has only gotten the online license of the AO level of the beautiful country......"
Hong Jun said with a smile, and there seemed to be a slight regret between his words.
Domestic reporters understand in seconds, after all, the drama version of "Mysterious Recovery" has not passed the review, and the chances of getting the game batch number are even more slim.
Some people who are familiar with the classification system of the foreign game market can't help but show a shocked look when they hear this!
Generally speaking, the game age rating of BeiBerry is divided into five levels:
Level 1, Level E, suitable for all ages, is basically a children's game, such as "Super Mario", "Animal Forest", etc.;
Second, E10+ level, suitable for players over 10 years old, such as "Uncharted", "The Legend of Zelda", etc.;
third, T-level, suitable for young players, such as "Marvel's Spider-Man", "Call of Duty" produced by Sonny, etc.;
Fourth, M level, suitable for adult players over 17 years old, such as "COD Warzone", "Blue Sea and Black Sails" and "Grand Theft Auto", etc.;
Fifth, AO level, limited to some adult players, such as "Fahrenheit", "Grand Theft Monster 2", etc.
"Mysterious Recovery" only got the AO level, no wonder it couldn't pass the review!
"Let's first look at a live video of the game, which is produced by the AI special effects division of Future Technology, and all the characters, scenes, and voice dialogues are generated by artificial intelligence."
Hong Jun continued, while instructing Moss to start projecting the VR holographic video of "Mysterious Recovery" on the big screen.
"This! …… It's so realistic! ”
"Are you sure it's not an 8K Ultra HD movie? Each character doesn't look like it's made of special effects! ”
"Moss Ai special effects have improved again! The enterprise-level movie special effects software sold by Future Technology will definitely not reach this level! ”
The media, scholars, and game manufacturers are talking about it and can't believe it!
"Moss, turn around."
Hong Jun smiled and gave a voice command.
Suddenly!
The picture on the screen rotates slowly, as if someone is carrying a camera, shooting around each person, showing it 720 degrees without dead ends.
Suddenly, the audience was even more surprised!
Regardless of the quality of the game, excellent scene construction and holographic VR technology alone are enough to beat many game producers.
"Next, there are ten experience places, and interested friends can go directly to the stage."
Hong Jun waved his hand, and immediately there were staff members, who brought a whole row of reclining chairs and placed them on the stage with a big grin.
"Mr. Hong, I want a place!"
"Penguin Games wants one!"
"Ren Tiantang also wants one!"
“……”
In just a few tens of seconds, ten places were divided, and game merchants and dealers from home and abroad were eager to try, and put on game helmets according to the operation steps.
At first, some people were not adaptable, but under the guidance of novices, most of them completed the creation of characters, and the moment they officially entered the game world, everyone was completely confused!
Do you call this a game?
This is obviously a time travel, a new life, and a parallel time and space!
The strong and realistic immersion makes them quickly get used to it, and the first-person perspective allows users to get the most violent impact.
With the knock on the door, fear strikes!
The immersive touch makes the experiencer unable to extricate themselves, and the expressions on the faces of these people are constantly changing, making the audience itch and want to explore this game.
Fifteen minutes later, three participants forcibly quit the game, their faces looking palpitating, gasping for breath like fish out of water.
The strange world of the Orient is like a thick dark cloud, hanging over their hearts.
Stimulation, excitement, panic, comfort, all kinds of complex emotions wash over and over again in their brains.
"Oh my God! Is this actually a game? ”
"True holographic VR! It's time for the gaming industry to reshuffle! ”
"What kind of opponent is this? I can't raise the idea of resisting at all! ”
The three of them subconsciously muttered to themselves, their faces full of shock.
After more than half an hour, the rest of the people quit the game one after another, and some of them were dragged into the trick by knocking on the door, and the game failed.
Some people step into the dungeon and become tricksters by chance.
"Mr. Hong, how do you get this pain?"
The head of the Penguin Game Department, cautiously asked, his face full of adoration for the strong.
Games such as Honor of Kings, TT Speed, and CrossFire are simply weak in the face of "Mysterious Recovery"!
"Isn't it amazing that it mainly uses neural networks and brainwave sensing technology?
In fact, it can be explained by scientific principles, the Dream game pod is equipped with an EEG sensor, that is, an EEG sensor.
It measures brain wave signals, such as α waves, β waves, δ waves, theta waves, etc., and analyzes and processes the brain signals through algorithms, and further feeds them back into the game world in real time, so that the expression of corresponding actions can be completed......"
Hong Jun replied with a smile.
When he first came into contact, he was also surprised, so he gave up his work in EDA software research and development and chose to join the brain-computer interface research and development center.
In fact, the ultimate mission of the brain-computer interface laboratory of Future Technology is to create biochips that can control human nerves.
For example, a patient who has been paralyzed for many years can regain his ability to walk as long as he installs electronic conduction equipment in his head and lumbar spinal cord to collect signals from the patient's cerebral cortex, and then use radio wave pulses to transmit them to the spinal cord area, and convert the signals into electronic instructions that can be understood by muscle nerves. ”
Hong Jun walked to the center of the stage, facing hundreds of people, and said seriously.
"Sounds like something out of a science fiction movie?"
"Did this person write about the Internet in the first place? It's really going to be a horse! ”
"Brother, don't scream if you don't understand! The beautiful country has long had relevant academic reports, and this Professor Strong is the top bull in this area, maybe, it can really be realized? ”
“……”
The media at home and abroad are discussing it fiercely and quietly.
"So, how much does it sell for?"
Hong Jun asked rhetorically.
"The first batch of spot will be officially sold on December 6 in Moss Mall, with a standard version of 400 units at a price of 12,999 Chinese dollars; The high-end version is 600 units, and the price is 28,999 yuan.
The difference is in the loading speed of the game, the speed at which the brainwave information is returned, etc.
The game software of "Mysterious Recovery" needs to be purchased separately, and the price is 6888 yuan. ”
Hong Jun asked himself.
After he finished speaking, the conference hall of several hundred square meters instantly fell silent.
The demeanor of the participants varied, and most of them believed that the future of technology was crazy, and a game device alone would sell for more than 10,000 yuan, which was enough to buy two of the latest Apple phones.
But this group of people who have experienced the Dream game cabin will not think so at all, as the current world, the most powerful manufacturer in the game industry, they are no strangers to VR games, and the powerful performance of the Dream game cabin is incomparable to other products.
They also understood that it was obviously a helmet design, but it was called a game cabin.
The moment you enter the game, you will take over a completely new body, and all thoughts and actions can be expressed by brainwave signals, which is no different from the game cabin.
"Mr. Hong, does your company need an agent? I'm Chad, the sales president of GameStop, and I'm in charge of game retail and distribution in the Northern Berry market, with many physical stores and a large number of users, and I would like to be the most loyal partner of Future Technology. ”
The representative of GameStop couldn't wait to ask, he was one of the people who had just experienced it.
Is this expensive?
What about the AO level?
Once you have experienced the magic of the Dream game pod, you will be immediately impressed!
Just imagine, a VR device that can provide a realistic sense of time-traveling, who would be stingy with the most ordinary money?
"Mr. Chad can contact our sales department for this question, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Hong Jun said with a smile.
Subsequently.
The press conference entered the Q&A session, and in the face of various tricky questions, Hong Jun was still able to give accurate and funny answers.
"The potential is good, and it can be cultivated well."
Chen Heyu saw Hong Jun, who was standing in front of the reporter and calmly responding, and turned sideways to Zhang Nan and instructed.
"This kid belongs to a donkey, and he has no motivation if he doesn't have a radish hanging in front of him."
Zhang Nan replied with a smile.
Hong Jun promised to be the host, and she also promised that there would be an additional R&D fund next year, plus the core R&D personnel, and the benefits brought by the Dream game cabin could be shared, so he agreed.
Who doesn't love fragrant banknotes?
Hong Jun is a technical nerd, but he is not an idiot, he can make easy money, buy a luxury car and live in a villa, who would refuse?
"It shows that he knows what he wants, this kind of person, I prefer. Have a purpose, have an idea, and know in what direction to work towards. ”
Chen Heyu commented.
"Boss, I haven't gotten the batch number of "Mysterious Recovery", and I only sell game helmets, can there be a market?"
Zhang Nan nodded, and then asked.
"Let's sell it with a VR movie, I didn't have high expectations for the domestic market until the second game was launched."
Chen Heyu thought about it and replied casually.
"I see."
Zhang Nan responded.
"Yancheng's work is arranged, and in a few days, accompany me to the Internet conference."
Chen Heyu nodded.
"Yes, boss."
Zhang Nan smiled slightly, this kind of high-level industry exchange meeting, it stands to reason that she is not qualified as a professional manager, but the influence of Future Technology at home and abroad is too strong, plus Chen Heyu's bunch of unicorn companies.
If you let him go alone, he doesn't know which company he should represent.
……
On December 6th, at 22 o'clock in the evening, the first Dream game pods in Moss Mall will be released!
"Eighty percent of the event operation is a single dog, and there is no nightlife, so a date was set for the underworld!"
Some netizens complained.
There are only 100,000 people who make appointments to buy them, and compared with Moss speakers, the popularity and attention are far less.
Despite the loud blows on the Internet, it is difficult for people who have not used the Dream game pod to understand its magic.
A few years ago, Zhao Dong made a small fortune by reselling Moss's first and second generation smart speakers, and settled in Shanghai with his wife.
This time, after thinking about it again, he still decided to go to technology and grab the first shot!
With only 1,000 units in stock, he is sure that in a short period of time, as long as the acceptance of the product becomes higher and higher, the premium space will become larger and larger.
He stared nervously at the computer screen, checked the flash sale software again, and unconsciously held his breath, quietly waiting for the sales time to come.
His wife brought a cup of wolfberry tea, and Zhao Dongyu glanced at it, good guy, seventy percent wolfberry and three percent tea, this is to want him to die.
"Wife, can you not drink it?"
Zhao Dong asked tentatively.
"No! I'm going to give you soft-shelled turtle soup tomorrow, and recently, you've cleared it up. ”
The wife looked concerned.
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, how did he lose weight, it's not all your fault! Several times a week, hey, my wife is treating him like a young man.
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
The software runs automatically, and purchases are submitted in bulk.
But!
He still only grabbed 3 units, and the opponent was on the same black technology, and the page was directly stuck!
Zhao Dong frowned, and immediately thought about it, three is three, the financial pressure is small, and it is just a big deal to lose tens of thousands of yuan.
Soon, the Dream game pod was packed out of the warehouse and sent to all parts of the world by express delivery.
Only 380 units were sold in China, and the remaining 620 units were bought by users in Neon and Beautiful Country.
Most people are not optimistic about the Dream game cabin, you know, although VR products in 2015 are high-tech products, but they are not the only ones in the future technology.
There are Lexiang and Ant Jue in China, Gu Gou and Weisoft in foreign countries, and a VR glasses or headset is only a few thousand Chinese dollars.
The game helmet of the future technology beggar version sells for 12,999 yuan, which is simply a money grab!
As a result, the majority of the online rhetoric is ridiculed, believing that this will be the product of the future technological Waterloo.
It's just that after the first Dream game pods entered the market, a large number of scalpers appeared in the second-hand market.
The standard version with an original price of 12,999 yuan, the price is 20,000 Chinese dollars!
The original price of 28,999 yuan for the deluxe version, the price of 40,000 Chinese dollars will be received, and the goods will be completed after the payment!
Even the game software of "Mysterious Recovery" has risen to 10,000 Chinese dollars!
Some people with the mentality of making a fortune hurriedly added money to sell it, proudly showing off on the Internet, making many people regret breaking their thighs.
Grabbing one is equivalent to grabbing ten bottles of Maotai, which is worth many people's wages in two or three months.
Seeing this, Zhao Dong scolded secretly: "Stupid fork!" ”
Relying on the channel of reselling the international version of Moss in the past two years, he keenly discovered that the standard version of the Dream game cabin in the beautiful country has skyrocketed to 10,000 US dollars!
The deluxe version has soared to a maximum of 30,000 US dollars!
He took the opportunity to collect five units in China, plus the three units he grabbed, and after all of them were out, he made 980,000 yuan after deducting the labor costs of overseas scalpers!
This money is enough to buy a two-bedroom apartment in a remote area of Shanghai.
Earn like crazy!
Until the overseas recycling price is transmitted back to China, those who sell at a low price regret it again!
This makes some people learn wisely, and labor and management are not sold! Engage in the rental model, renting 1,000 Chinese dollars per day, so that more people have the opportunity to experience the Dream game cabin.
In this world, there will never be a shortage of rich people, and there are thousands of counties and districts in China, as long as there is one person who is interested in the Dream game cabin, there will be one more local tyrant in the market who recycles at a high price!
What's more, this has to compete with gamers around the world.
On the other hand, the Hucheng Super Factory is still working overtime to produce the second batch of products.
Globally, it's hard to find a machine!
The price of Beiberry Island has been speculated higher and higher, and the deluxe version once exceeded 50,000 US dollars, and the Dream game cabin has become a toy for the rich to show off.
The funniest thing is that Yiwu Commodity Market, in the fastest time, created the same helmet and became a prop for Internet celebrities to fool the audience.
Of course, this thing is just a shell, and it has no function.
……
Chen Heyu took Zhang Nan to Wuzhen to participate in the second Internet Conference.
Coincidentally, as soon as he walked into the hotel, he bumped into Li Hong of Qiandu.com, and when the other party saw him, his face suddenly changed.
"Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Chen Heyu didn't care, put on a smiling face, and stepped forward.
