i really just want to play games

Chapter 348

However, it's not yet the stage where the low-light mainframe needs to be produced and stocked up. In addition, Ange Network still has a few projects in hand. If it needs money by then, Chen Tiancai will be able to get it.

So Chen Tiancai, who hadn't worried about money for several years, started to worry about these things again.

This kind of anxiety can only be gradually eliminated after the distribution of the low-light hosts is smooth, that is, after the production and income can reach a balance.

At present, Chen Tiancai has tentatively set the price of the low-light host at 4999 yuan. This is the domestic price. Tax and shipping costs are added to the foreign price. The price can also be increased by the way.

After all, Chen Tiancai felt that his country was still a developing country, and players from developed countries must be richer. In their eyes, the low-light console was considered cheap if it sold for less than a thousand dollars.

However, the pricing abroad is estimated to be 999 knives, which is the highest.

This price is quite cheap no matter at home or abroad, because the price of high-end mobile phones generally exceeds [-] dollars, and the version with the highest configuration can even exceed [-] dollars.

Even so, the sales of these mobile phones are recorded in tens of millions. It can be seen that in the field of consumer electronics, there has never been a shortage of rich people.

However, in the game console industry, there has never been such a high-priced product. The price is always around US$[-] to US$[-] all year round.

Moreover, in order to popularize their own equipment, host manufacturers will even sell more hosts with a strategy of not making money or slightly losing money in the early stage.

It can be seen that the consumer group in the console market is a group of people who are very sensitive to selling prices.

It's no wonder that this is the case. Take Chen Tiancai himself as an example. He is also a lover of electronic products, although he doesn't pay much attention to the cost when buying things.

But I will also use forums or post bars to understand the profits between various products and judge how much I have paid more.

Therefore, Chen Tiancai thinks that setting the low-light host at 4999 yuan and 999 dollars is a relatively low price that can not only realize profits, but also meet consumers' expectations.

After racking his brains, Chen Tiancai left more than 20.00% profit on the initial sale price of the Weiguang console. He even only sold it online at first, which could save a lot of shipping costs.

That's right, Chen Tiancai, who had already regarded himself as a businessman in his mind, did not plan to offer free shipping, because it seemed that if the shipping cost of tens to hundreds of dollars was calculated as a general ledger, he would face huge losses.

Following the opportunity of online sales, Chen Tiancai is also planning to expand the functions of the Anthem Mall, that is, the Shimmer console will only accept reservations and sales in the Anthem Mall.

"38 small goals, that's almost the entire value of HTC." Chen Tiancai made a little comparison, and found that the money needed for the low-light host is already close to his old business.

Leave no room for outsiders. In the future, all production of low-light host computers will of course be placed at HTC Electronics.

Of course, there is no need to talk about the benefits. Even because of the production of low-light hosts, it is very easy for HTC to scale up to a higher level.

"It's a pity that there is no overlap with Uncle An." At this time, Chen Tiancai felt that it was a bit unethical not to bring his father-in-law with him.

Ke Anjia's industries are basically the entertainment industry, catering industry, and some industries that cannot be clearly stated.

This cannot be clearly stated that it is not that Anjia is doing illegal business, but that these industries are relatively marginalized, and some of them cannot be seen in this era.

The 38 small goals invested in the Vivo host are not money that can be taken out in a short period of time, and even the subsequent income generated by the Vivo host has to be continuously invested in the production of the Vivo host.

Chen Tiancai feels that the first shipment of 100 million yuan is just a drizzle for game fans and consumer electronics fans all over the world, and the follow-up production line of low-light consoles will continue to occupy a larger amount of funds.

Judging from the internal simulation data of Anthem Technology, taking HTC's future production capacity into account, the production figure of Vivid mainframes in the first year is about 500 million units.

In the next year, with various improvements, this number may increase by 50.00% to 70.00%.

Of course, the sales volume of the Weiguang console is in the hundreds of millions, and Chen Tiancai even vaguely feels that hundreds of millions is not the ultimate goal of the Weiguang console. This console will create an exaggerated sales volume like the past games of Praise Network.

"Thinking about it this way, selling consoles is quite profitable." Chen Tiancai did some calculations and felt that making consoles would not be much worse than making games.

In fact, if the colleagues heard what he said, they might vomit blood at this time.

Not to mention the increasing cost of game development and marketing, which makes the profits of making games thinner and thinner. Even the money that console manufacturers have started to lose with each generation over the years will make them feel that Chen Tiancai's words are a bit bullying.

This can't be blamed on Chen Tiancai's thinking is different from ordinary people, because Zange Network's game development costs and marketing have always been relatively low, because a large part of the world engine has been saved on the development side.

Moreover, the sales of every game of Zange Network exceeded expectations, which made Chen Tiancai feel that making games is very profitable.

……

The days of waiting were very boring, until November, when the weather in Beijing was getting weirder and colder, Chen Tiancai finally felt the sense of busyness before the approach of the New World Project.

He has been relatively free for a short period of time, but because he still needs to adjust the operation of the low-light development machine, the place where he stays the most these days is Anthem Technology.

As for Zange Network, more than 400 veteran employees have entered the final stage of preparation.

All the copywriting and game framework of "Anthem Infinity" have been prepared. It can be said that as long as the low-light development machine is in place, the finale game of this low-light console can enter the development stage.

Pei Guangming finished his work with the old Ren and began to devote himself to the New World Project.

His return has brought more than 60 old employees, which can be regarded as making up for the manpower shortage of Zange Network.

The new office has already been built. At the beginning of November, more than 600 new employees recruited by the school and dozens of veterans recruited by the society have entered the new office, and began to gradually take over the old employees of Zange Network. their old jobs.

Most of this old work is the online mode operation work of old games, as well as some daily update work.

What surprised Chen Tiancai was that the first official game of Zange Network, that is, "Hunting Crisis" is still in operation.

It's just that because this game is really old, the average number of players left is only about [-] online.

At present, the last version of "Hunting Crisis" has been updated, but due to the enthusiasm of the remaining players, Chen Tiancai can't close the game, so he can only assign dozens of people to keep running it.
