Chapter 68: Immortal Digital
Nine o'clock in the morning, Tianba Studio.
As soon as Xiao Lu pushed open the door, he saw Brother Ba holding a paper cutter and scratching at a large cardboard box with the word AMD printed on it.
"What is this?"
"The graphics card sent by Su Ma for testing is said to be the mysterious 7000 series that has not yet been released." Chen Ba didn't raise his head and continued to unpack.
New card for the 7000 series?
As soon as Xiao Lu heard this word, he immediately became interested, walked up to Chen Ba and asked, "Isn't the RX7000 series graphics card not released yet?" How did it get to us? ”
"Then who knows!"
After a lot of effort, Chen Ba, who finally tore off the adhesive tape, took out the foam filling in the box, and put a poorly packaged graphics card in front of him to look at it carefully.
What a 7000 series!
And the card sent this time is still the top RX7900XTX and RX7900XT.
"What is the XTX suffix?"
Xiao Lu was very confused about the naming method of adding an X after this XT, and he didn't understand the difference between the two cards.
"The positioning and specifications are different."
Chen Ba didn't bother to delve into the naming of the A card, anyway, it was a new card, and Su Ma's level would not send him a second-hand card.
Handing the RX7900XT in his hand to Xiao Lu, Chen Ba advised: "Take it and run the Chengxian Road, focusing on the performance of the game and power consumption." ”
"Okay!"
Xiao Lu hugged the new graphics card and ran to test it.
Chen Ba didn't follow, but sat on the engineering chair, frowning and thinking about the origin and processing of this batch of A cards.
AMD suddenly came to the door, hoping that Tianba Studio would cooperate with their new graphics card game performance test, and the benefit was this new box of graphics cards.
This is exactly the same as Lao Huang.
To develop the game "Star Emperor", Chen Ba didn't get anything else, but the graphics card was piled up in the warehouse.
There are N cards, A cards, public versions, and co-branded models from Beat People, Miserable Rainbow, and Shrinking Star......
With so many graphics cards, even if they used them in the studio, they couldn't use a few of them, and most of them were thrown into the warehouse without being opened.
What a pity!
Why don't you sell it?
But nominally, after all, it was a card given to Tianba Studio by the graphics card vendor to test the performance of the game, and if it was sold, would people be angry about it?
Chen Ba vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But with so many graphics cards, you can't use them up, and it's a pity to throw them in the warehouse without opening them.
Either send it back, or you can resell it and dispose of it.
Electronics will depreciate, and the depreciation rate is very fast, so these graphics cards really can't be dusted.
He decided to say hello to these graphics card vendors, mainly to explain the situation and ask for their opinions.
The first is to beat people.
When Chen Ba contacted the other party and said what he thought, the other party didn't care, and said that if he wanted to sell it, he could sell it, and if he didn't sell enough, he could get the goods from them!
"Huh?!"
Chen Ba was shocked.
It's normal for the other party to allow him to resell this batch of graphics cards, after all, they have all been sent out, and they shouldn't care what others do.
But what does it mean that you can't sell enough to get the goods?
"We're a game studio, not a graphics card seller!"
Chen Ba felt that he had been insulted, so he asked the other party angrily: "Are you serious?" What do you say about the price, can it be cheaper? ”
Ahem!
If you want to make money to support your team, don't chill!
Tianba Studio and Darenshuo have a good relationship with each other through the cooperation of co-branded graphics cards, so Chen Ba can pick up the goods from each other at a more favorable price.
This gave him an idea.
The server of "Star Emperor" has to be raised, but the internal purchase of krypton gold has not opened the situation for a long time, so it is better to open an online store, and through the relationship with major graphics card vendors, sell some graphics cards to support the family.
"Since we can't stop the player's hardware krypton, let's develop a new kryptonite channel!"
Chen Ba gritted his teeth and instructed Yang Dong: "When our online store opens, remember to copy a copy of the store template into the game." ”
Players don't cut the source stone and don't want krypton gold?
Ok, good, good!
Then I don't sell values, I don't sell skins, I sell graphics cards, right?
"The idea works, but ...... Aren't we a game studio? How to open an online store and start selling graphics cards? Yang Dong was speechless.
"Well said!"
Chen Ba applauded, and said after a moment: "Normally, we can feed the server by selling skins. ”
"But is 'The Starry Sky Emperor' normal? Do you think these players will give skin kryptonite? They will only Krypton graphics cards! In order to feed the server, this is the only way to do it! ”
As he spoke, Chen Ba suddenly became excited.
Although a game studio doesn't engage in in-game purchases and goes to an online store to sell graphics cards, the more you listen to it, the more abstract and outrageous it becomes. But I have to say that Tianba Studio has too many advantages!
Just by virtue of their relationship with various graphics card vendors, what goods can't be obtained?
Other dealers, the store sells at most one brand of cards, and Tianba Studio, as a "relational household", can sell all of them no matter what brand, regardless of A card or N card.
Are you not convinced?
If you don't accept it, go to the graphics card manufacturer, but if you can't do it, go to Lao Huang and Su Ma, who sell chips, and let them administer justice.
The graphics card will watch "Star Emperor" stop serving?
Do you understand the relationship between the households!
Besides, Tianba Studio's business is also a petty one, and it just wants to make a little money to feed the game "Star Emperor".
Chen Ba didn't think that opening this store would create much revenue for the studio, and at most it would amortize the cost of server operation and maintenance.
But that's enough.
As long as there is this online store, even if the players of "Star Emperor" are not kryptonite, there will be no risk of suspension of service, and they can continue to operate healthily.
"Then I'll go and submit the information."
"Don't worry!"
Stretching out his hand to stop Yang Dong, Chen Ba said speechlessly: "I haven't told you yet, what is the name of this shop." ”
"Oh yes!" Yang Dong suddenly realized, "Then have you thought of the name of the store?" ”
"Think about it, Xianyu Digital!"
Chen Ba said his thoughts and said: "You can find someone to design the store template, and get a few partitions: Immortal Emperor Selection, Immortal King Preferred, True Immortal Essential ......"
Don't do it with the Emperor Supreme.
You can't make a lot of money selling a graphics card of this level, which is a pure waste of time.
Since the name of the store is called Xianyu Digital, the graphics card sold must be the best of the best, at least in Chengxian Road Chengxian.
"That's right!"
Chen Ba seemed to have thought of something, and advised: "All customers who place an order to buy in Xianyu Digital will be given a CDKEY activation code for "Star Emperor". ”
How much money is a game?
Give! You can send it all!
You have all consumed in Xianyu Digital, and you obviously have the "capital to become an immortal". A young man like you is arrogant, it's a pity not to send it to Chengxian Road to sharpen it.
Buy a graphics card and give the game away, the right is to pull new players to "Star Emperor", so that the game will be cold after a while.
