Shi Lei was thinking about what price should the VR game helmet be sold at?
Dong Guoguo made a preliminary estimate of the manufacturing cost of VR game helmets, which cost about 2,000 Xia Guoyuan, which is not particularly high, and is completely within Shi Lei's acceptance range.
However, the VR game helmet costing at 2,000 Xia Guoyuan is only the initial version and does not have WHDI technology. If WHDI technology is added, the cost price will increase by 1,000 yuan.
Shi Lei has always been undecided to load WHDI technology into the VR game helmet, which is still the highlight of the configuration of the second-generation personal game server.
If the WHDI technology is implemented in accordance with the maximum profit, the cost of WHDI technology should be distributed to the second generation of personal game servers, because 10% of the shares of Amd Company are controlled by the original management; while 10% of the VR game helmet belongs to Dream Entertainment Company.
However, if the VR gaming helmet has WHDI technology, it will be more attractive. The pricing of the VR gaming helmet can be higher, unlike the second-generation personal gaming servers, it is difficult to increase the pricing.
After the "clarification announcement" on the official website of Dream Entertainment was released, many players expressed disappointment. They believed with hope that Dream Entertainment was developing a holographic virtual game helmet, but the result was not the case.
However, the number of players in this part is not too large, and most players can understand that the holographic virtual game helmet has always been a science fiction, and with current science and technology, it is very difficult to achieve.
The VR gaming helmet described in Dream Entertainment's "Clarification Announcement" is actually very attractive. After all, the completely immersive first visual display device was also scientific fiction before.
The super rich Storm was also a bit disappointed. However, Storm also expressed interest in the VR game helmet. Since no more information was obtained on the official website and the official forum, Storm took out his phone number, and after hesitating for a while, he finally called Shi Lei's number.
Shuangqing City, Jingyayuan.
Shi Lei looked at the caller ID, with a little surprised expression and said to himself: "Storm? Why is this guy calling here? Could it be because of the VR game helmet?"
Once, in order to quickly return to Xia Country, Shi Lei borrowed the private plane of Storm, and the two had some personal relationship.
After pressing the answer button, before Shi Lei could speak, Storm had already spoken first, "Mr. Shi. Good morning, I want to ask. What is the situation in your company's VR game helmet?"
Shi Lei showed a smile on his face. As expected, Shi Lei explained the VR game helmet in detail and finally said: "Although the VR game helmet cannot achieve the functions of the holographic virtual game helmet in science fiction novels, the VR game helmet has improved the game's impression very much, and players will have a real first vision!"
After hearing Shi Lei's description, Storm suddenly looked forward to the VR game helmet, "Mr. Shi. When will Dream Entertainment launch the VR game helmet? I want to book one first!"
Shi Lei deliberately showed a hesitant attitude and was preparing to release a message to players through the storm, "Storm, based on our personal friendship, I can tell you that the release date of the VR game helmet cannot be determined for the time being. In addition to some technical issues, it is also because of cost issues. The cost price of the VR game helmet is too high, and we dream entertainment company, don't know how much it should be priced."
Although the World of Braves was initially positioned as a high-end game, the price of a closed beta invitation code was once hyped up to thousands of yuan, but currently there are more than 15 million players, of which only have less than one-tenth of the high-end players.
Shi Lei hopes to sell VR game helmets to more players, not only to high-end players.
Storm thought for a moment and asked: "Mr. Shi, if the cost price of the VR game helmet is not a trade secret, can I know?"
"This, I cannot disclose it for the time being!" How could Shi Lei reveal the cost price of the VR game helmet, which only costs 2,000 yuan? "So tell you, if the price of the VR game helmet is less than 2,000 US dollars, our Dream Entertainment Company will lose a part of the R&D cost."
Shi Lei directly changed a currency unit of cost and price, and changed from Xia Guoyuan to US dollars. The current gap between the two is eight times!
Don’t blame Shi Lei for being too dark, but because he has more than 300% profits and capital dares to trample on all laws in the world! What’s more, Shi Lei wants to get more than ten times the profits, so what’s wrong with him?
"It seems that two thousand dollars is not expensive!" Fengshang said disapprovingly.
Shi Lei was helplessly depressed, "Storm, you are not short of money. Of course, you think two thousand dollars are not much! Even in the Lijian region, two thousand dollars is the salary of an ordinary person for four weeks. As for the Xia region, two thousand dollars is converted into 16,000 Xia Guoyuan. Many people don't have that much saving in a year, do you understand?"
Fengshang said embarrassedly: "The people of Xia Kingdom are so poor?"
"You know Mao!" Shi Lei blundered the language of later generations, "The situation in Xia Kingdom is special. If you don't understand, I don't blame you."
"Mr. Shi, since most people can't afford it, why not increase the price of VR game helmets? According to the situation in the World of War, according to my personal analysis, the sales of VR game helmets can reach at least 500,000 units. If you dream entertainment company sells each unit at a price of 5,000 US dollars and intends to make a profit of 2,000 US dollars, then the total profit of 500,000 units is one billion US dollars, which is not a small amount!" Feng Storm gave Shi Lei a bad idea and directly raised the price to 5,000 US dollars.
"Eh?" Shi Lei's eyes lit up, "Storm, the price of 5,000 US dollars, are you sure the players will accept it?"
"Mr. Shi, players from other regions, I don't know very well. High-end players in our Liberty region have absolutely no problem with the 5,000 US dollars in gaming equipment expenditure!" Storm said confidently.
Shi Lei thought for a while and did not fully agree with what Fengshang said. Even in the Liberal Arts region, they are not all rich people. The price of 5,000 US dollars is almost equivalent to a medium-sized personal game server, and the sales volume is really not guaranteed.
"If the retail price of 5,000 US dollars is worth a retail price, our Dream Entertainment Company will definitely be willing to launch the VR game helmet as soon as possible. However, I am worried that the price will not be accepted by players!" Shi Lei expressed his concerns.
Fengshang is preparing to give Shi Lei a bad idea again, "Mr. Shi, if I am just worried about sales, I have a good idea that can definitely solve the sales problem without increasing any costs."
"What's the good idea?" Shi Lei asked curiously.
Fengshang's identity and background are very not simple. He is not only a simple playboy, but also a business genius. Some of the business in the family are left to Fengshang to manage.
"Mr. Shi, Dream Entertainment Company has a strong reputation and the World of Braves has a very high popularity. You can set up a VR game helmet pre-sale system on the official website of Dream Entertainment!" Storm said the infamous sales method in later generations.
Pre-sale, futures, rush purchase...
These bad ideas are all notorious sales methods in later generations!
"Presale?" Shi Lei experienced the disgusting sales bombardment of mobile phone merchants in later generations, and instantly understood the meaning of Storm, "Storm, what you mean is that we sell concepts, collect money in advance, and only accept full reservations. After the product is produced, we will ship it, right?"
Fengshang responded affirmatively: "That's right! As long as you collect the full amount in advance, your company will not have sales pressure. The products produced have been sold in advance, and there is no loss. This method is good?" Fengshang said smugly.
"Not bad! Very good!" Shi Lei had to praise that all the risks and pressures are borne by the customers. Of course, if the VR game helmet produced by Dream Entertainment is indeed worth the money, pre-sale is a good way.
If the VR game helmet has a very poor body feeling and is not worth 5,000 US dollars at all, then Dream Entertainment Company will probably bear a great reputation and even damage the company's image.
"Mr. Shi, your Dream Entertainment Company has started pre-sales. In order to support you, I said I will book a hundred sets of VR game helmets directly!" Storm set an example and showed that he was willing to be a guinea pig.
Shi Lei said with a smile: "Storm, aren't you afraid of VR game helmets? It's just a way for our dream entertainment company to fool players?"
"Not afraid!" Fengshang said affirmatively, "It is not difficult for you to make money in your dream entertainment company, so there is no need to do it by deception."
It’s really not difficult to make money as a world-wide online game with more than 15 million registered users!
Selling a little prop or charging a point card can make a lot of money!
"Okay! Storm, I decided to use your suggestions to enable a VR game helmet pre-sale system on the homepage of Dream Entertainment's official website. In addition, let me tell you another message. The second-generation personal game server may be released simultaneously with the VR game helmet. At that time, it will be very convenient to use both together!" In order to ensure the sales of the second-generation personal game server, Shi Lei had to adopt an evil method and choose the VR game helmet to be sold in conjunction with the second-generation personal game server.
After all, the first generation of personal game servers have only been sold, and the personal game server market has basically been saturated, and players are not very concerned about changing personal game servers.
If you want players to change their personal game servers, you can only use evil methods! bsp;update
