Chapter 314 The Price of Virtual Helmets

"Let's talk about those things tomorrow, let's all go back and rest now!" Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Dong said to Ji Yao, "You just came back, so you should take a good rest, and work again when you have enough energy!"

With Lin Dong's previous words, Ji Yao let go of the worries in her heart and hummed softly.

The two stood up and walked out together.

"Have you ever used the rest room in the office?" Ji Yao suddenly raised her head and asked Lin Dong, "Should I go back now or rest in the office?"

Lin Dong looked at Ji Yao, hesitated and said, "We can all take a rest in the office rest room. Your office is quiet and no one disturbs you, so you can take a good rest. If you go back to the dormitory, you may not be able to rest well .I just squeezed in time to get this game out as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with the later plans."

Ji Yao didn't insist either. During this period of time, she guarded her grandma and didn't have a good rest at all, so she let Lin Dong send her to the office rest room.

In the next few days, Ji Yao returned to school to attend classes, and Lin Dong was still playing games in the office, because he already had a complete frame of results in his heart, and there was no shortage of required materials. With a sense of urgency, Lin Dong's The speed of game modification continued to accelerate, and after a week, the game was finally modified.

The game was completed. At this moment, Lin Dong no longer felt the excitement when the helmet was completed. He calmly packaged the game and then encrypted it.

Xia Longhai and Li Feifei are further improving the game helmet based on Lin Dong's feedback. With Lin Dong's first investment of 500 million yuan, Li Feifei has already started producing helmets and sent [-] pieces of high-quality products to Lin Dong. Dong here.

During this week, He Dongcheng also contacted the manufacturer of the software coding automatic filling machine, and ordered [-] machines from the manufacturer according to Lin Dong's requirements and standards.

Due to the high degree of automation required and the robotic arm for tutoring, the price of each unit is nearly half higher than the market price. However, He Dongcheng did not negotiate the price, but only asked the manufacturer to produce it as soon as possible.

There is a huge space on the sixth floor of the Changying Building. It could have been used as a gym or a large conference room, but it has been converted into a virtual helmet coding software injection workshop. The auxiliary facilities have been installed. After the machine arrives, Then the coding software can be poured into the chip of the helmet.

After the game was finished, Lin Dong didn't bother others. He exercised his body in the office, did some gymnastics, and then started to burn the game CD, and poured the coding software into the helmet manually.

"Yaoyao, come to the company." After finishing everything, Lin Dong called Ji Yao.

"Are you done?" Although Ji Yao wanted to help in the company during this period of time, there is nothing she needs to do at the moment. Lin Dong didn't let her come, but just let her recover in school and try to keep herself at her best state.

After hearing Lin Dong's words, Ji Yao knew that her next step was to go to Hong Kong Island and wear a helmet to participate in the selection, so she actively prepared, collecting a lot of information and preparing personal things at the same time.

"Well, it's finished." Lin Dong's tone was very calm, as if what he had completed was not the world's first virtual game, but a small software for automatic calculation, "You can come over and try it first , just to experience the virtual helmet, and when I go to Hong Kong Island, I will have an intuitive impression when I introduce it to others.”

Ji Yao smiled and said: "Well, I definitely want to see it. I went to see the one that the company held at the Internet Technology Exhibition. There were really many people! Many of our classmates are now discussing this, and many boys are still asking me When virtual helmets will be available, they want to play domestically produced virtual games earlier. Now some boys have threatened to save living expenses and work part-time to earn money to buy game helmets!"

"Not bad!" Lin Dong said with a smile: "It seems that our virtual helmet has a very good market prospect!"

"By the way, the girls in the same dormitory asked me," Ji Yao asked Lin Dong as she walked out, "What's the price of our virtual helmet? Their boyfriends know me and you... want to find out."

Lin Dong smiled. In the past two days, it wasn't just Ji Yao who was asking, He Dongcheng was also asking, and even the fourth little Tang was calling to ask.

In fact, Lin Dong has long considered the pricing of the virtual helmet.

If you only calculate the helmet's materials, chips, circuit boards and processing fees, the cost price is not high, and the sum of these items does not exceed 1000 yuan.

However, the highest value of this kind of technology products is the intangible things such as software and codes inside. If calculated according to the current level of technology, such a virtual helmet, with its cost and added value, plus supporting accessories For games, charging tens of thousands of dollars is considered cheap.

However, Lin Dong must consider China's national conditions.If the price is too high, it will be difficult to open the market for a while.

And he also has to consider the international market.

For example, if the market price is 2000 RMB, if it is converted into US dollars, it will directly become [-] knives, which sounds too cheap.

Lin Dong was very tangled, until one day, he saw the news about Laoganma.

Laoganma is a well-known hot sauce in China. It is very cheap and tastes good.

But on Amazon, the price that Laoganma sells to Laomei is equivalent to several times to ten times the price in China!
Since this can be done over there, so can the virtual helmet.

Therefore, Lin Dong had already thought about it, different national conditions, different prices.For example, in China, about 1 yuan is nothing for those who have money and leisure. As for those who are short of money, isn’t there a Shengshi Internet Cafe?

If it is sold to the American and British imperialists, the price of [-] U.S. dollars should not be expensive, right?After all, this technology is several generations ahead of Samsung's virtual helmet (glasses), and the price is several times more expensive, right?

"If someone asks you again, just say about 1 yuan." Lin Dong said with a smile: "In terms of technology, we are at the level of civilians."

"Well, if you look at the technical level, it's not expensive." Ji Yao nodded, "But many people still can't afford it..."

"Don't worry." Lin Dong talked about the cooperation of Shengshi Internet Cafe, and then said: "There is Shengshi Internet Cafe near our school, so don't worry. After a while, when games and helmets are launched on a large scale, they will be considered If you can’t afford it, you can go to an Internet cafe to experience it!”

"This is a good idea!" Ji Yao agreed, "You install the game, and I'll be right there!"
