Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 295 Objective Analysis Post; Not Bad Paper Card Game

"I thought they could dig a big hole, that's it?"

Tian Moyun shook his head and raised the notebook in his hand: "This records the hardware parameters they released. I just happen to be more interested in this. I have learned about the import cost of these hardware, plus various additional taxes. It will be less than 4000 yuan, and our cost will not exceed 2300 yuan, how do you think they match the price with us?"

[Phoenix Group]'s game consoles use imported raw materials.

This is not because they are so "excellent", foreign things are not necessarily good products, but...whether they are good or not is another matter, at least the high cost of foreign countries is a fact.

The domestic component manufacturers are basically taken over by [Dragon Scale Game], which leads to [Phoenix Group] not having enough locally produced components to use, and most of them have to use imported materials.

And in this way...

Foreign labor costs, R&D costs, hardware costs, transportation costs, and the current import tariffs as high as 10%, plus domestic assembly costs, packaging and transportation costs, publicity costs, operating costs, local game optimization costs...

Adding up the messy things, no matter how much they try to save money, they will never be less than 4000 yuan, which is the minimum.

“[Phoenix Group] would lose more than 1500 yuan if they dared to match the price with us.”

Tian Moyun chuckled and said, "Even if they want to gain an advantage as soon as possible, they have to lower the price to a lower level than ours. If they are cruel, they might dare to lower the price to 2000 yuan."

"The hardware loses money, but the game makes money?"

Li Tenglong had a little understanding. The last mainframe plan of [Phoenix Group] adopted this kind of management method.

It’s just that at that time, Neil, the president of Phoenix, in order to obtain a good-looking performance report as soon as possible, issued a series of policies that were quite unclear.

Although the games are very good, the sense of contrast is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there are serious suspicions of fraud, and the word of mouth is not very good.

If the new game console adopts this method again, I am afraid that there is really no need to hang around in the land of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Learning the lessons from last time, Neil and the others should not be so aggressive anymore. I guess they may adopt some milder methods, first losing billions, and then slowly earning back."

Tian Moyun said casually: "We are not the only ones who understand the principle of exhausting the pond to fish. The top priority of [Phoenix Group] is not to make profits as soon as possible, but to increase market share. Only by winning the market first can they have a future. Otherwise, they It will be like the Big Three in the past, seemingly dominating the world, but in fact they are vulnerable."

"Then what should we do?"

Li Tenglong asked.

He also has no idea now, [Phoenix Group] really wants to fight hard to consume, they [Dragon Scale Game] have a small family and a small business, so they really dare not fight each other.

A company with billions of assets is usually considered a giant, but when it is involved in the tearing of the two "Big Macs", it appears humble and powerless.

"Proceed as usual."

Tian Moyun thought for a while: "Alternatively, you can also consider lowering the price to approach the cost price, or even slightly lower than the cost price. This can also push [Phoenix Group] to a dead end."

"As for the loss?"

"Don't worry too much about this. The domestic market for home game consoles is less than 3000 million. [Dragon Scale Game] can sell for 700 million. Even if it loses 100 yuan, it will only lose 7000-8000 million. "

"As long as the market share is obtained, there will be opportunities to make money in the future."

……

Tian Moyun didn't think it was a big deal, but Li Tenglong was a little speechless.

7000 million to 8000 million is really not a small amount for [Dragon Scale Game].

Regardless of the billions in assets, the cash flow is pitifully small, and the account is only two to three billion.

but--

Right now there is indeed no good solution, [Phoenix Group] is determined to fight, so it can only be accompanied.

"The hardware cost of the new game console is around 2300 yuan. After I go back, I will adjust the price to 2199 yuan. I want to see if they dare to follow suit."

Li Tenglong hesitated for a long time, and then asked: "What's your plan here? Do you also lower the price?"

"No surrender."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "There is no need to lower the price. The price is still 2499 yuan. This is an auspicious number, and I like it very much."

"..."

Li Tenglong didn't know what to say.

After thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with [Thunder-New World] being priced this way. As the only overlord in the domestic game field and the super king who has reshuffled the game industry, there should be a bit of a brand premium.

Secondly, if [Thunder Games] is also priced at 2199, then his game console probably won't be able to sell.

The two parties had already agreed that a price difference would be created when it was released, so as to increase the competitiveness of [Dragon Scale Game].

of course.

After all, Tian Moyun is not doing charity. The price of the new game console is the highest, but it's not all for "taking care of" friends, there are also many thoughts of his own.

The starting lineup of [Thunder-New World] is very strong.

Four well-known first-party games: "Super Mario 2", "Contra 2", "Blood War 3", and "Storm War 3", plus more than a dozen IP masterpieces from third-party manufacturers, a total of [-] games. There are a large number of loyal fans for any one of the games, which is far better than the other two.

Even if the price is slightly higher, it can still have good competitiveness.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, [Thunder Game] and [Dragon Scale Game] held grand press conferences respectively.

Tian Moyun didn't go to the scene, but just posted a random post in [Starry Sky Post Bar].

This time it was not a joke, it was a little more serious.

Post name - "On Tian Moyun's views on the new generation of games!" "

You see, the title of this post is serious enough, right?

The content is as follows:

"Dear partners, hello everyone, I am your old friend Tian Moyun."

"To the gamers, today is a special day. The three game platforms released new machines at the same time. It is a coincidence that you will not believe it. Dog head.jpg."

"Let's avoid conspiracy theories or something, I'll explain it directly."

"[Phoenix Group] released the product but did not announce the price. Obviously, it was not discussed internally. I am going to look at the prices of the new models of [Thunder] and [Dragon Scale] first, and then announce the benchmark."

"Here's a blind guess—the price of [Phoenix] should be the lowest, after all, they have the advantage. Funny expression.jpg."

"Secondly, after I discussed with Mr. Li of [Dragon Scale], there is a big difference in price between the two parties. On the whole, the price of [Thunderbolt] should be the highest."

"Although I am the boss of [Thunder Games], I will not praise myself or belittle my peers. There is no difference between the three platforms. The main difference lies in the price and game style."

"Two things to say here—"

"The first is the price: the price is divided into two parts, the game console and the game cartridge. If you are sensitive to the price, it is best to do calculations based on your own playing habits and try to choose the most affordable plan."

"Secondly, the game style: the game styles of the three platforms are different."

"[Thunder Game] focuses on interactivity and is suitable for all ages. It is more suitable for casual players, couple players, and light players. The game is more cartoon-like, and it is also very suitable for girls and children."

“[Dragon Scale Game] mainly focuses on fighting, breaking through levels, and shooting. They mainly make games with rhythm and tension as the main elements. There are quite a lot of players in China who like this part of the game, just buy it without thinking.”

"The style of [Phoenix Game] is very obvious. It is mainly westernized, and more than [-]% of them are overseas localization. Some players who like the lighthouse flavor may like it more. At the same time, their game types are quite complete."

"in addition--"

"[Thunderbolt] and [Dragon Scale], in addition to the fixed first-party and exclusive works, most of the third-party games are interoperable, and both ends are released together, and the price is very cheap."

"As for [Phoenix Game]... the price of the game is relatively expensive. This is well known, so I won't say much about it. Goutou.jpg."

"Finally, tell me your opinion!"

"The field of games is entertainment-oriented. Entertainment does not distinguish between high and low. What kind of games players like is a personal hobby and cannot be forced."

"We can recommend the games we like to others, but we must also respect other people's interests and hobbies. Playing games is mainly for fun, not for embarrassment or hurting friendship."

"I also hope that when you choose, you can calmly think about your own needs, and don't choose an unsuitable game platform impulsively, which will cause regret and unhappiness in the end."

"The price of more than 2000 yuan is not a small amount for most players and friends, and it needs to be carefully considered."

"At the end of the day, make an advertisement. Here comes the important point. jpg."

"I recently developed a pretty good paper card game, it will be launched around January 1th, and it will be available in [Kole Toys Store], [Meg Direct Store], [Longteng Car Store], [Thunder Games] Office] for nationwide sales, please pay more attention and support.”

"That's it for today."

"Thank you friends who came here, I wish you a happy family and a happy life. ——Tian Moyun."

……

After typing the keyboard briskly, checked the typos, and then clicked publish.

This post is analyzed from the player's point of view. The three giants released new phones at the same time. I believe many players will feel caught off guard and don't know how to choose.

The main purpose of Tian Moyun's post is to help everyone do a calm analysis, briefly explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the three major platforms, impartial, the whole article is very objective, neither touting oneself nor belittling peers...then It's meaningless, and Tian Moyun doesn't bother to do it.

The final ad... is purely casual.

As for what a "not bad paper card game" is, he hasn't figured it out yet, because the number of words exceeds the limit, so he can only talk about it next time.
