Chapter 128 Duke's Ambition
Duke got rid of the mundane things of company management. When he remembered the customization of brainwave games, he took a look at the game he developed in cooperation. Good guy, the number of registered users exceeded 2.5 million, and the highest number of online concurrent users at the same time exceeded one million!
This game has now completely become a money cow for Santa and Saal. The monthly gross income has soared from more than 100 million yuan to more than 500 million yuan, and it is still rising. [bsp; Seeing that this game is so popular, Santa is developing a new expansion pack based on Duke's novels. The serialization of Duke's novels on the website has basically come to an end, and it has become the most popular novel this year. The rampant website made a lot of money by charging VIP.
The version of wireless on the Delay Chapter Ten is also very popular, ranking first in wireless reading and is also very profitable. On Duke's bank card, there are still more than 100,000 wireless share payments every month. However, Duke basically uses a credit card in the United States. This card was handed over to his home and was useless, although it is not clear that he had already saved millions of dollars on that card.
Therefore, novels and games complement each other, resulting in the current situation where the two are very popular.
Seeing this situation, Duke couldn't help but call out the current version of the game and began to transform the customized brain wave version. The voice version is so successful. I think there is some market for the brain wave version, and Duke is so excited.
During this period, Duke took the time to return to his hometown, which made his parents very happy. Now Duke's parents basically know Duke's general situation. The two old men had no other requirements for their son who suddenly became rich and did not want to move to Rongcheng to live. For them, they were still living in a small place like their hometown.
Every month, they never spent the money Cai Siqiang transferred to their account. Although they now understand that with Duke's wealth, they don't have to worry about anything. However, the frugal habit they have developed throughout their lives makes their lives similar to those in the past. However, there are people around them who have encountered three disasters and six difficulties. If the old couple can help, they will help them, but most of them will let it go, and they will not show their own feelings.
The old couple was very nervous when they were outside, but they just said that their son went to the United States to study for a doctorate and made some money. As for how much, the old couple never said a word. The information in small places should be blocked. In this way, the old couple can continue their peaceful life. Everyone thought Duke was working in the United States.
Seeing that his parents were satisfied with their lives, Duke did not force himself to move to Rongcheng. Anyway, he would not go back to the United States in a short time. He would live wherever his parents liked to live. He just replaced the computer and upgraded the broadband. Duke specially developed a voice control system so that his parents could basically use video chat online as soon as they turned on the computer and dictated a few commands. It didn't matter how far the distance was.
After these things were finished, Duke returned to China for almost ten days. It was time to go back to the United States. Before returning to China, Duke invited Qin Chu from Santa Company to demonstrate his customized brain wave version.
Qin Chu was once again shocked by Duke's invention. He helped Duke build a computer room for brainwave games, but he didn't expect that Duke could already be transplanted to this joint development game so soon.
"Duke, is this your brain wave mind power helmet?" Qin Chu couldn't believe his eyes. "No need to do any movement at all. Just think about it and operate the movements of the characters?"
"You can experience it yourself." Duke smiled and took off his helmet, put it on Qin Chu's head without saying a word, and then opened the helmet command learning interface, "Click this, then meditate in your mind and recite this command silently, repeat five or six times, and then click the next command to repeat the process. After all, we will do a test and be able to play."
Duke briefly explained the steps of use. Qin Chu completed the operation one by one according to Duke's instructions, and then entered the test interface. Very good. Qin Chu's psychological quality is very stable, and the test passes 100%. Then after entering the game, Qin Chu enters his test account.
Up, down, left, right, walking, running, jumping, etc. As soon as this idea comes to mind, the characters in the game start to act according to this, which is simply a matter of thinking.
After trying it out for a while, Qin Chu took off his helmet and said in amazement: "It's amazing! This operation method has begun to approach virtual reality infinitely. If it can become a 3D display in terms of display, it will be really immersive."
When Duke heard Qin Chu say this, he couldn't help but feel moved. This 3D display doesn't seem to be impossible. Well, go back to the United States to study it. If it can be researched, it will be possible to have another new product. But today Duke is not here to get inspiration, but is preparing to discuss a new business with Qin Chu.
"Mr. Qin, how is this thing? Is there a market?" Duke asked.
"Yes, absolutely, such a magical thing, how come there is no market?" Qin Chu replied affirmatively. "Can we reserve exclusive supply rights for our company's games?"
Qin Chu's business vision is indeed great. Seeing that Kerry's War can be customized, he immediately thought of other competitors and subconsciously wanted to keep his unique weapon in the game. Although Kerry's war is so popular now, who doesn't want to maintain his leading position for a long time? The longer it can maintain its technological advantage, the more beneficial it is for Santa Company.
However, Qin Chu's request was not what Duke wanted. Duke also wanted to open up a larger market for brain wave helmets in this way.
"There is no problem for a short time, but it won't work in the long run." Duke refused. "The game we jointly developed, I want to know. If we sell brain wave helmets instead of other companies' game customization, do you see if it is possible to distribute dividends to the value generated by this part of users who use brain wave helmets?"
After saying that, Duke looked at Qin Chu nervously. Customize all online games suitable for Brain Wave Helmets, and then sell Brain Wave Helmets to share the user value of Brain Wave Helmets. This is a huge profitable golden idea that Duke came up with. However, whether this idea will be recognized by the industry, Duke has no idea. As a big name in the game industry, Qin Chu's views are crucial to Duke.
Qin Chu obviously didn't expect Duke to have such an idea. He did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought. It seemed that this idea was too imaginative and had no precedent to follow, so Qin Chu was not sure whether it would work or not for a while.
"Maybe OK, but there are several difficulties in the middle." Qin Chu thought for a while and said cautiously. "First of all, this billing is more difficult. It is not that it cannot be achieved by technology, but that the billing data has always been the core secret of game companies. I think many companies have concerns about this kind of cooperation."
"Secondly, this profit distribution is difficult to grasp. If it is an exclusive supply, things will be easier to handle. It will not have any adverse impact on the game company for the newly added brain wave operators and ordinary operators. But if it is not an exclusive, the game company will worry that this brain wave helmet will dilute the development of ordinary users."
"So, it's hard to explain this problem briefly. Some market research needs to be conducted and public beta are verified to confirm."
In fact, Qin Chu tends to be incapable of doing so, but Qin Chu is not able to say so bluntly. If something like this is exclusively supplied, the meat will always rot in his own pot when the user changes his operation method. However, it is generally promoted and customized, and for game companies, it will have a big impact on their own interests.
To be extreme, if a game has customized the brain wave operation mode and only existing users have converted to brain wave operation without new users, the game company will pay the share fee in vain. In this way, using this brain wave helmet is completely not worth the cost.
The bosses of game companies with normal thinking will think of this problem. So Qin Chu thinks it is very difficult. If you distinguish between the users who only use brain wave helmets, there is also one part that I will naturally increase, or is it because the use of brain wave helmets will increase.
Obviously, if you don’t understand this interest issue, the boss of the game company will not agree with the sharing.
"What if a brain wave game access platform can be formed and accessed from this platform?" Duke asked unwillingly.
"If you can add new users in this way, it will be much easier to negotiate the share agreement." Qin Chu said. This is completely equivalent to adding new user channels for game companies, without having to squeeze out existing promotion channels. By increasing the cake of game manufacturers to get a share of the pie, of course, it will be much less difficult.
However, Qin Chu does not think this method is practical, because the clients of each game are different, so it is not easy to develop a platform that can access different game manufacturers.
"Well, then it seems that it is necessary to create a brainwave game access platform." Duke murmured to himself when he heard Qin Chu say this. As for the technical difficulty of developing this platform, he directly ignored it.
After confirming that his idea was feasible, Duke let go of this issue and instead discussed with Qin Chu how to promote the brain-wave customized version of Kerry's War game. Duke decided to make half of his own game a promotional sample, so he discussed it very deeply with Qin Chu.
Finally, the two have already discussed a promotion framework. Qin Chu, a big name in the industry, was originally a businessman who planned this bowl of money. It was a familiar way to promote such a new thing. This is an excellent theme for further hype games. How could Qin Chu miss such an opportunity?
In this way, the first framework plan for the expected promotion of 100,000 sets and the long-term promotion of 500,000 sets was tinkered with.
Duke's ambition to intervene in the gaming industry on a large scale through brain wave helmets has taken a key step.
