Chapter 265: Mirage Electronics (Happy New Year to everyone)

Under the persuasion of Xiao Lu, Yang Dong and others, Chen Ba finally changed his mind.

Embezzling 99% of the production funds is still too much, and I am afraid that spreading it will damage his image and reputation, and it will ......

1% of the original budget may be too small to produce a satisfactory result, but 5% should be a good choice!

Of course!

5% is not a lot, a full 20 million dollars! The money was used to make a fighting game, which was a piece of cake.

As for the rest of the money, most of it went into Chen Ba's pocket, and another small part was used to acquire shares in Mirage Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

That's right, the other party agreed!

The plan proposed by Tianba Studio is really impossible to refuse for Mirage Electronics, and the temptation is too much.

Refusing the acquisition of Tianba Studio, their products have no sales and no fame, and investors are almost unable to run away, so they don't have to think about it to know that the end must be miserable.

Agreed to acquire and develop a special "peripheral set" for the game "Star Emperor 2", which not only guaranteed sales, but also became the royal peripheral sponsor of the GAL League.

With the help of this wave of east wind, Mirage Electronics can definitely take off, and its reputation instantly spreads all over the world!

And, it's a two-way street......

They don't agree, Tianba Studio can also talk to other companies, anyway, they are not the only companies that make this kind of interactive peripherals.

But they missed this opportunity, and then they wanted to pamper their thighs, take the fast train of the GAL league, and get an investor who is not short of money, it will be very difficult.

So, Lang had a concubine who was interested.

The two sides hit it off and reached a preliminary consensus in just a few days, only Chen Ba went to the other company's company to sign, and then took a handshake photo and released it to the public.

The price is actually not much controversial.

The fixed assets, patented products and technical advantages of Mirage Electronics, anyone with a discerning eye knows how much it is worth, and it is okay to give a valuation that everyone can accept emotionally and leave 5% of the shares to the management.

Anyway, the final price did not exceed 100 million!

It is indeed difficult to break 100 million, after all, the scale of Mirage Electronics is too small, and it is only after understanding that Chen Ba knows that in addition to the design and production of various interactive peripherals, their profits depend on engaging in "game controllers".

That's right!

The main business of Mirage Electronics is very sluggish, and it can't sell many pieces, and it has been in a state of loss for a long time. So they started a side business, OEM production of various game controllers, mechanical keyboards, and so on.

It's been a miserable time!

Fortunately, they still have a factory, as well as a certain technical advantage and patent ratio, otherwise Chen Ba would be willing to spend this money? Millions are estimated to be gone!

"Mr. Chen, look at ......"

After arriving at Zhonghai, Chen Ba was warmly welcomed by the management of Mirage Electronics, not to mention the wind and dust, and took him to visit the factory by the way.

Interestingly, the headquarters of Mirage Electronics is located in Zhonghai, but the factory is located dozens of kilometers away, not far from Jiangning, which makes Chen Ba speechless.

"This is our latest generation of products, which integrates the most advanced sensor system on the market today and can simulate the various feedback reactions of the hand......"

"This set of products can be adjusted and modified according to your needs, and if you are not satisfied with the shape, we can also redesign a shape."

"No, that's fine."

Chen Ba picked up a thick glove, put it into his right hand, and made a fist movement, only to see the dummy on the big screen also made a similar action.

Yes, this one works!

The problem of latency, Chen Ba specially asked, because it is a wireless connection, so the delay will be a little high, but if you use a wired connection, the delay is basically acceptable.

The only problem may be that the total cost of this set of equipment, namely two pairs of gloves, two sets of knee pads and a vest, is about 600 yuan or more.

The guide price given by Mirage Electronics is already a very sincere 1099 yuan, and it is not too much, and I still want to open the market as soon as possible.

But even so, Chen Ba felt that it was too expensive.

Not to mention the suggested retail price of 1099, only to say the cost price of more than 600, Chen Ba feels that 99.9% of players are reluctant to buy.

"That's ...... true"

Yang Dong, who came to sign the contract with Brother Ba, nodded and said: "More than 600 mechanical keyboards, some people may be interested, more than 600 handles, some people will buy them, but more than 600 ash suits, no one should buy them." ”

The problem isn't the price, it's the lack of confidence in the thing.

To put it bluntly, spend the same amount of money on a set of keyboard and mouse or controllers, and at least enjoy it. But it's a waste to spend money on this trial product and eat ashes after using it once or twice.

The price is a little cheaper, one or two hundred yuan, although there is a high probability of buying it home and eating ashes, but everyone is still interested in giving it a try!

Forget about more than 600 yuan......

"There is still room for cost compression, and we can do three or four hundred yuan by controlling the use of materials a little. Regardless of the cost, it will be fine to press it to one or two hundred yuan! ”

However, the cost is so extreme, materials and sensors or something, then don't think about too good performance.

You get what you pay for!

The price of low cost is heavy, at least the user experience will not be too good, and the product quality is also very worrying.

"Enough!"

Chen Ba thought about it and came up with an idea for Mirage Electronics, that is, to castrate different product versions.

For example, the complete body in his hand can be sold for thousands of yuan, and it is named the Deluxe Edition.

The slightly shrunken version, named the Elite Edition, is priced at 699 yuan / set. The version with the limit shrinkage is named the youth version, and the price is 399 yuan / set.

In this way, it not only meets the requirements of lower prices and more players to try it out, but also launches a high-priced version, so that players who are not bad for money can have a better experience.

It was just perfect!

"The youth version doesn't want to make money, just sell it under the cost line, and do a discount promotion or something from time to time, anyway, use this to give players a try. As for the elite and deluxe versions, those are the main products that make money, and there are always people who are willing to pay for the high configuration. ”

Chen Ba said that he had conceived a complete set of marketing plans for this product.

If nothing else, this set of peripherals will be available with the release of Star King 2, and when the time comes, he will find a way to give players a hint: the use of peripherals will be even more powerful!

In this way, gamers who are looking for the ultimate gaming experience and game intensity will definitely use this set of peripherals.

"Don't forget, there are not many players in the generation of "Star Emperor", but there are many rich brothers......"

patting the person in charge of the factory on the shoulder, Chen Ba did not hesitate to draw cakes and said: "Hurry up the production and stocking, the future of this product is definitely very bright!" ”

I don't know if the future is bright or not, anyway, now that you are the boss, you are in charge, so do as you say!

The person in charge of the factory swore that when "Star King 2" was released, he promised to come up with 200,000 sets of products to stock.

Chen Ba, who was reassured, left the factory with satisfaction and returned to the original entrepreneurial team and management of Zhonghai Tong Mirage Electronics for dinner.

During the meal, Chen Ba did not forget to tell these people to maintain more communication with Tianba Studio, especially the development team of "Star Emperor 2".

After all, at the beginning of the design of this set of peripherals, it was born for "Star King 2", and in terms of adaptability, it must be seamless!

"Don't worry, we will."

"But I'm curious, what will the final effect of adaptation look like?"

The end result?

Hearing this, Chen Ba put down the wine glass in his hand, and a conversation between himself and Yang Dong came to mind.

At that time, he told Brother Dong that they were going to make an alternative fighting game next, the game background was fantasy Xianxia, and the game characters were all Emperor Supreme.

Then Brother Dong asked him: "The background of the fantasy fairy, and the duel between the strong is punching and kicking?" ”

"What's wrong with punching and kicking?"

Chen Ba's answer was that although a group of the strongest people, characters who had reached the top of the fantasy fairy world, the fight was still a bit low.

But as long as you add a little special effects and improve the expressiveness of your punches and kicks, it's all not a problem!

Ordinary punches and kicks can also be turned into invincible "Emperor Fist" and "Emperor Feet", which are amazingly powerful!

His answer is still the same.

What's wrong with punching and kicking?

The peripherals provided by Mirage Electronics, although they can only simulate the "punch and kick" actions of players, look stupid and stupid.

But that's the look and feel of no special effects.

Players don't have special effects in reality, but the characters in the game do! As long as there are special effects, then these punches and kicks can still wear down the avenue.

"That's ......"

Several of the executives of Mirage Electronics blinked, and the scene was already imagined in their minds.

Wearing sensor gloves on his hand, he suddenly threw a punch, only to see an extremely gorgeous special effect appear on the screen, and the enemy was instantly crushed into powder under the shadow of the fist that covered the sky and the sun.

OK!

This is very much in line with men's secondary two fantasies, if they had this thing when they were young, they would probably be so happy that they fainted on the spot.

"That's right, Brother Ba!"

As if thinking of something, the president of Mirage Electronics asked: "We have signed the contract, when will this matter be announced to the public?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll set the date."

Chen Ba wanted to say that it was okay now, but he didn't know what the impact was, and suddenly had an idea, why not use the omnipotent "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" to divinate an auspicious day?

"Don't you keep claiming that Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village is not metaphysics, but science? Why do you believe in this now? Yang Dong was puzzled.

Chen Ba: "......"

He really didn't believe this before, after all, he knew better than anyone the inside story of this divination system, it was definitely science and not metaphysics.

But as the number of netizens in the Tianba community broke the news, especially more and more netizens, sharing the verification results of his "cyber fortune telling", he began to doubt his life.

Netizen A used the divination system of "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village" to calculate the good luck and culprit of his blind date, and the result was really accurate, and this blind date was a great success!

Netizen B used the divination system of "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village" to pray for her own postgraduate entrance examination, and the hexagram showed the murderer, but she was really ...... Didn't get in!

There are too many similar cases.

With the increase in similar posts, players who were originally just following the trend and having fun with the map, like Chen Ba, have a trace of doubt about this world.

What's going on?

The brothers used "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" to divinate the good fortune and misfortune in real life, isn't it pure and happy? Why is this accurate?

said that the whole work, how can it become real when you play and play?

No wonder everyone thinks so, it's mainly a post in the Tianba community to prove how reliable the divination system of "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" is, which is indeed a bit much.

There are a lot of these posts, which inevitably gives people an illusion, that is, the divination system of "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" can not only measure the luck trend in the game, but also measure the good fortune and evil fortune in reality!

"Let's just say ......"

"Is it possible that only those who predict the success will post and share, and those who don't will not post about it at all?" Yang Dong rolled his eyes and said.

"Makes sense!"

was reminded by him like this, Chen Ba suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

There are indeed a lot of posts that prove how effective "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" is, but this is because those who don't have it will not post water experience at all.

"I'm relieved now."

Chen Ba breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It scared me, I really thought that "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" was so metaphysical!" ”

"Metaphysics, don't say it, "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" is indeed quite metaphysical......"

Yang Dong said with a smile: "Although everything in reality, "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village" can't be calculated. But what happened on the Internet can't hide the divination system of "Once Upon a Time in the Mountain Village". ”

The number one metaphysical master of the Internet!

Lottery unboxing and card drawing, anyway, it is a game with a little bit of luck, and players will pay a visit to Master "Hu Xi" in advance and let him calculate a hexagram for himself.

The most outrageous thing is......

Hu Xi's "game character" was originally limited to the gaming circle, but it soon spread throughout the Chinese Internet.

Not only that, but those ghost merchants also produced small goods such as hanging portraits, photos, mobile phone cases and keychains of "Hu Xi", which were widely popular after they were listed.

There is no doubt that they infringed.

"Hu Xi" is not the Jade Emperor, nor is he Guanyin Bodhisattva, as a virtual character, his personal image is copyrighted, and the copyright belongs to Tianba Studio.

These merchants use Hu Xi's image at will to produce and manufacture various goods, but they have not obtained the authorization of Tianba Studio, and they all have to lose money when they are investigated.

But Chen Ba and Yang Dong had no idea of being held accountable at all.

Because they are also hesitant now.

Hu Xi, as a fictional "game character", how can he become a god at this time? It has a large number of fanatical believers and loyal fans on the whole network!

To be reasonable, fanatics are not easy to mess with.

It's okay for netizens and players to play stalks, but in reality, there are really many middle-aged and elderly people who believe in "Hu Xi" as a real master.

Chen Ba felt that the matter of "Hu Xi" really had to be carefully considered.

After all, this role is now a bit of a sign of "refining the fake into the true" and "turning the virtual into the real".

This kind of infringement is almost enough to turn a blind eye! If you really want to investigate the responsibility and crack down on it comprehensively, you will get into a commotion and be thankless!
