Chapter 268 A $50,000 machine, a crazy market, and scalpers making money!

"... Among the products released together with the Dream game cabin is the "Mysterious Resurrection" co-branded holographic VR game in his legs. Because of its extremely high originality, the horror index is off the charts, and it has currently received the AO rating of the Beautiful Country

Online license for…”

Hong Jun smiled and said with a hint of regret in his words.

Foreign reporters immediately understood that after all, the drama version of "Mysterious Resurrection" has not passed the review, and the chance of getting the game batch number is even slimmer.

Some people who are familiar with foreign game market classification systems couldn't help but look shocked when they heard this!

Generally speaking, NorthBerry's game age ratings are divided into five levels:

First, E-level, suitable for all ages, basically children's games, such as "Super Mario", "Animal Forest", etc.;

Second, E10+ level, suitable for players aged 10 and above, such as "Uncharted", "The Legend of Zelda", etc.;

Third, T-level, suitable for young players, such as "Marvel's Spider-Man" and "Call of Duty" produced by Sunny;

Fourth, M level, suitable for adult players over 17 years old, such as "COD War Zone", "Black Sails" and "Grand Theft Auto Legs";

Fifth, AO level, only for some adult players, such as "Fahrenheit", "Grand Theft Auto 2", etc.

"Mysterious Resurrection" received an AO rating, no wonder it couldn't pass the review!

"They first watched a live game video, which was produced by the AI ​​Special Effects Division of Future Technology. All characters, scenes, and voice errors were generated by artificial intelligence."

Hong Jun continued, and at the same time ordered Moss to start showing the VR holographic video of "Mysterious Resurrection" on the big screen.

"That!...It's so realistic!"

"Are you sure this is an 8K ultra-high-definition movie? Every character looks like it was made with special effects!"

"Mos AI special effects have improved again! The enterprise-level movie special effects software sold by Future Technology cannot reach that level!"

The media, scholars, and game manufacturers are talking about it in disbelief!

"Moss, change the angle."

Hong Jun smiled and gave Dongda voice instructions.

Sudden!

The picture on the screen rotates slowly, as if someone is carrying a camera and shooting around each character, showing it 720 degrees without blind spots.

Suddenly, the audience in Taitung became even more surprised!

Regardless of the quality of the game, excellent scene construction and holographic VR technology alone are enough to defeat many game producers.

"In the east, there are ten experience quotas. Friends who are interested can go directly to Taiwan."

Hong Jun waved his leg, and a staff member immediately came and brought a whole row of deck chairs and placed them carelessly on the stage.

"Mr. Hong, please give me a spot!"

"Penguin Games, please have one!"

"I want one from Ren Tiantang!"

"..."

In just a few tens of seconds, all ten spots were allocated. Game developers and dealers from overseas were eager to give it a try. They followed the steps and put on their gaming helmets.

At first, many people were not used to it, but the moment the new legs guided Dong, most of them completed character creation and officially entered the game world, everyone was completely confused!

Do I call that a game?

Then obviously can we travel through time, gain new life, and come to parallel time and space?

The strong and real sense of immersion allowed them to quickly adapt to Donglai. The first-person perspective allows users to get the strongest impact.

With the appearance of the knocker, fear strikes!

The immersive touch makes those who experience it unable to extricate themselves. The expressions on those faces are constantly changing, making people in Taitung feel itchy and want to find out which game to play.

Fifteen minutes later, three experiencers forcibly quit the game. Their faces seemed to be frightened, and they were breathing heavily, like a fish out of water.

The weird oriental world shrouded their hearts like a thick dark cloud.

Stimulation, excitement, panic, relief, and various complex emotions washed through their brains over and over again.

"Oh my God! That's actually a game?"

“Real holographic VR! It’s time for the gaming industry to reshuffle!”

"What kind of wrong leg is that? I can't think of resisting at all!"

The three people murmured to themselves unconsciously, with shock on their faces.

After more than half an hour, people in Chengdong gradually exited the game. Some people were dragged into the treacherous realm by knocking on the door, and the game failed.

Some people step into the dungeon, and by chance, become Tricksters.

"Mr. Hong, how did you get that kind of pain?"

The person in charge of the Penguin Game Department asked cautiously, his face full of admiration for the strong.

Games such as Honor of Kings, TT Speed, and Cross Fire are simply weak in front of "Mysterious Resurrection"!

"The Lord has used neural network and brain wave sensing technology. Isn't it amazing?

In fact, it can be explained by scientific principles. The Dream game cabin is equipped with an EEG sensor, which is also an electroencephalogram sensor.

It measures brain wave signals, such as alpha waves, beta waves, delta waves, theta waves, etc., and analyzes and processes the brain signals through algorithms, and further feeds them back in the game world in real time to complete the expression of corresponding actions...

…”

Hong Jun replied with a smile.

He was also surprised when he first came into contact with it, so he gave up his job in EDA software development and chose to join the Brain-Computer Interface R&D Center.

“The fact is that Future Technology’s brain-computer interface laboratory had no previous mission, which was to create biochips that can control human nerves.

For example, for a patient who has been paralyzed for many years, it is necessary to install electronic conduction equipment on his head and lumbar spinal cord, collect the patient's cerebral cortex signals, and then use radio wave pulses to transmit to the spinal cord area, converting the signals into electrons that can be understood by the muscles and nerves.

By giving instructions, it can regain its ability to walk."

Hong Jun walked to the center of the stage, faced hundreds of people, and spoke seriously.

"Sounds like something from a science fiction movie?"

"Did that person write online novels before? He's really good at bullshitting!"

"Brother, don't scream if you don't understand! The beautiful country has already had relevant academic reports. Professor Strong is the top expert in this field. Maybe it can really be realized?"

"..."

The media at home and abroad were discussing it in low voices.

"So, how much will it be sold for?"

Hong Jun asked rhetorically.

"The first batch of Xiawang will be officially sold at Moss Mall on December 6. The standard version is 400 units, priced at 12,999 yuan; the high-end version is 600 units, priced at 28,999 yuan.

The difference lies in the loading speed of the game, the return speed of brain wave information, etc.

The game software of "Mysterious Resurrection" needs to be purchased separately, and the price is 6,888 yuan."

Hong Jun asked himself and answered.

After he finished speaking, the conference hall of several hundred square meters suddenly fell silent.

The attitudes of the attendees varied. Most believed that future technology would be so poor that a single gaming device could be sold for more than RMB 10,000, enough to buy two of the latest Apple devices to show off.

But the group of people who have experienced the Dream game cabin will not think so at all. As the most influential manufacturer in the gaming industry in the current world, they are no strangers to VR games. The power of the Dream game cabin is comparable to other products. It's simply incomparable.

They were also very interested. They clearly didn’t like the design of the helmet, but they wanted to call it a game cabin.

The moment you enter the game, it is equivalent to taking over a brand new body. All thoughts and actions can be expressed using brain wave signals, which is no different from the game cabin.

"Mr. Hong, does your company need an agent? Is he Chad, the president of GameStop's sales department? He is responsible for game retail and distribution in the Northberry market. He has many physical stores and a large number of users, and is willing to become the most loyal partner of Future Technology. "

The GameStop representative couldn't wait to ask if he was one of the people who had just experienced it.

Is it expensive?

What about AO level?

Just experience the magic of the Dream game cabin and you will be impressed immediately!

Just imagine a VR device that can provide a real sense of time travel. Who would be stingy with the most ordinary money?

"For that question, Mr. Chad can contact their sales department and they will definitely give me a satisfactory answer."

Hong Jun said with a smile.

Later.

The press conference entered the Q&A session, and when faced with various tricky questions, Hong Jun was still able to give accurate and humorous answers.

"The potential is good and can be cultivated well."

Chen Heyu saw Hong Jun standing in front of reporters, calmly responding to mistakes, and turned sideways to give Zhang Nan instructions.

"That boy is a donkey. If there is no carrot hanging in front of him, he will have no motivation."

Zhang Nan replied with a smile.

Hong Jun agreed to be the host, or she promised that an additional R&D fund would be added to the core R&D staff next year so that they could share the profits brought by the Dream game cabin, so he agreed.

Who wouldn’t be ruthless with the fragrant banknotes?

Hong Jun is a technical geek, but he is not a porn addict. He can make money easily, buy a luxury car and live in a villa. Who would refuse?

"It shows that he knows what he wants to ask for, and he prefers that kind of person. He has a purpose, an idea, and knows what direction to work towards."

Chen Heyu commented.

"Boss, I haven't gotten the batch number for "Mysterious Resurrection", so I'm just selling gaming helmets. Is there a market for it?"

Zhang Nan nodded and then asked.

"Let's sell it together with a VR movie. Before the second game is online, the expectations in foreign markets are not high."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and answered casually.

"He's obviously red."

Zhang Nan responded.

"Yancheng's work has been arranged. In a few days, I will accompany him to attend the Internet Conference."

Chen Heyu nodded.

"No, boss."

Zhang Nan smiled slightly. Logically speaking, she was not qualified as a professional manager for that kind of high-profile industry exchange meeting, but the influence of Future Technology overseas was too strong, and there were a lot of unicorn companies in Chen Heyu Qidong.

If he were to go alone, he wouldn't know which company to represent.

…

In December and June, at 22:00 in the morning, the first batch of Dream game cabins will be released in Moss Mall!

"80% of the event operations are single dogs, and there is no nightlife, so we set up a period of the underworld!"

Some netizens complained.

There are hundreds of thousands of people who have made reservations to buy. Compared with Moss speakers, the popularity and attention are far behind.

Although the press release on the Internet is very impressive, it is difficult for people who have not used the Dream game cabin to understand its magic.

Zhao Dong made a small fortune a few years ago by reselling Moss first- and second-generation Zhike speakers, and settled in Shanghai with his wife.

That time, after careful consideration, he decided to start at Science and Technology!

There are only 1,000 units in stock. He is determined that within a short period of time, if the product is more and more accepted, the price premium will become larger and larger.

He stared at the computer screen nervously, checked the flash sale software again, held his breath unconsciously, and waited quietly for the sale time to come.

His wife brought a cup of wolfberry tea, and Zhao Dong glanced at it from the corner of his eye. Good guy, 70% of the wolfberry tea is 30% of the tea. Do you want to beg him to die?

"Honey, can you not drink it?"

Zhao Dong asked tentatively.

"No! I'm begging you to cook turtle soup for me tomorrow. I've been losing weight recently."

The wife looked concerned.

Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "Why did I lose weight? It's all my fault." Several times a week, my wife treated him like a young man.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

The software runs automatically and extracts glue and Xiong buying information in batches.

but!

He grabbed 3 units without fail, and the wrong leg was in the black technology, and the page got stuck!

Zhao Dong frowned and immediately thought, three stations is just three stations, the financial pressure is small, and at most it will only cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Soon, the Dream game cabin was packed out of the warehouse and sent to all parts of the world via express delivery.

380 units were sold abroad, and 620 units of the left ones were bought by users in Neon and Meili countries.

Most people are not optimistic about the Dream game cabin. I want to know that although VR products are high-tech products in 2015, they are not unique in future technologies.

Overseas, there are Lexiang, Yijue, Gugou, and Weiruan. A VR glasses or head-mounted display device costs only a few thousand dollars.

Future Technology’s beggar’s version of the gaming helmet sells for 12,999 yuan, which is a steal!

Therefore, most of the comments on the Internet are ridiculed, thinking that this product will be a waterloo for future technology.

After the first batch of Dream game pods entered the market, a large number of scalpers appeared in the second leg market.

The standard version, originally priced at 12,999 yuan, is priced at 20,000 Chinese yuan!

The original price of the deluxe version is 28,999 yuan, and the asking price is 40,000 Chinese yuan, so you can pay first and receive it later!

Even the game software of "Mysterious Resurrection" has increased to 10,000 Chinese dollars!

Some people with the mentality of making a fortune even went to sell for more money and proudly showed off on the Internet, which made many people regretfully break their thighs.

Grabbing one is equivalent to grabbing ten bottles of Maotai, which is worth two or three months of wages for many people.

When Zhao Dong saw this, he cursed secretly: "Silly!"

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 on a beautiful Chinese phone has skyrocketed to US$10,000!

The deluxe version can go up to US$30,000!

He took the opportunity to collect five units abroad, plus the three units he grabbed. After all were sold, after deducting the labor costs of overseas scalpers, he made a total of 980,000!

That money is enough to buy a two-bedroom apartment in a remote area of ​​Shanghai.

Making crazy money!

Until overseas recycling prices were reported back abroad, those who sold at low prices felt heartbroken again!

That made some people wise up and stop selling them! A leasing model was implemented, with a daily rent of 1,000 Chinese dollars, allowing more people to have the opportunity to experience the Dream game cabin.

In that world, there will never be a shortage of rich people. There are thousands of counties and districts in China. If only one person is interested in the Dream game cabin, there will be one more tycoon in the market who can recycle it at a high price!

What's more, you have to compete with gamers around the world.

On the other side, the Shanghai Super Factory is working overtime to produce the second batch of products.

Hard to find anywhere around the world!

The price of Beiberry Island is getting higher and higher. The deluxe version once exceeded 50,000 US dollars. The Dream game cabin has become a toy for the rich to show off.

The funniest thing is that Yiwu Small Commodity Market produced the same helmet in the fastest possible time and became a prop used by Internet celebrities to fool the audience.

Of course, that thing is just a shell and has no functions.

…

Chen Heyu took Zhang Nan with him to Wu Town to attend the Second Internet Conference.

Coincidentally, as soon as I walked into Dongta Hotel, I bumped into Li Hong from Qiandu.com. When I saw him, my face suddenly changed.

"Mr. Li, long time no see!"

Chen Heyu didn't take it seriously, put on a smile and walked forward.
