Chapter 467 (1/2)
The sales of space boxes continued to be booming. In the first three quarters, the sales volume exceeded 8 million sets, and the number of registered users worldwide exceeded 20 million. The sales data of the fourth quarter has not been counted, but there is no pressure to complete the goal of selling 10 million boxes and registering 30 million game users throughout the year.
The price of the box remained unchanged at US $50000, which was the strategy set by meiwang. The total annual sales revenue suddenly exceeded the annual turnover of worma group, which ranked first in the world. If the production lines of FSK and HW companies did not keep up, this figure would be even more terrible.
In order to quickly spread around the world, meiwang has split the distribution right of the game and the sales channel of the space box to many different companies, but the new technology company established for the game under the third space foundation has risen rapidly, and Meishi laboratory with core technology has become the darling of the capital market.
Capitalists with keen sense of smell came to visit Professor Mei in an endless stream, hoping to get a share of this promising project. Professor Mei was fed up with it. Finally, he simply closed the door to thank the guests. No one was seen. He only contacted the outside world through the internal quantum communication network.
This relieved Hou Biao, who was once very nervous, and also made Mei Ziqing dizzy recently.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. The first day of the new year is the first anniversary of the release of the dream guide game and space box. Penguin Group, which is responsible for the release of the game, proposed to hold a global annual ceremony before the year to better promote the game. Huanyu international and BFB also support this idea.
It doesn't matter. He clearly knew that the attraction of the dream guide was not comparable to those mindless games. Those games need constant publicity and star effect to stimulate consumption, but the dream guide doesn't. This is a game more addictive than opium. Once you go in and play once and create your own world, you can never put it down again.
It doesn't depend on the game planners and architects' crude world outlook. It uses your subconscious mind to reconstruct a new world with all the memory in your brain. You can let go of all your imagination. In this game, there is no impossibility, only unexpected.
When you create the world, the world exists. It stays in your memory, in your dreams, in your subconscious mind, just like your previous life and afterlife. You will gradually regard it as a real world parallel to the world. You are infatuated with it and don't want to give it up, just as you didn't want to leave when you came to the world.
However, several companies have done a good job in the annual grand ceremony plan, and Mei Tui is also happy to see its success. It is also a good thing to promote a little progress. The newly-built production base in China has been built, and three new production lines are being tested, and the output can be increased in years.
The grand ceremony plan not only invited a large number of stars, but also brought together many top rich and investors. Because the first players in the world were rich, the game was first recognized in the circle of the rich.
Although he agreed, Mei had his idea. He does not want to turn this annual event into a farce, nor does he want to arouse the disgust of most people in the world who can't afford to play games at present.
Those investors may not care about the feelings of the poor, because only the circle of the rich can make enough money. In their eyes, such expensive boxes sell 10 million sets a year. Ten years later, the middle class will develop. Before the technology cost is greatly reduced, it will take 30 years to spread to ordinary consumers. This is unbearable for capital, so their annual festival plan has completely become a feast for the rich and a display in front of the poor.
May's goal is to sell one billion units in five years!
He said nothing about this goal except a few core team members. People will only scold him as ”old madman”.
The number of rich people is limited. With the current cost of space box, it is impossible to sell too much, but Mei has his price reduction plan. Even in the end, the box can be free of money and affordable to the poor. He can't tell investors these words, because it's useless to say them.
So he can only change their grand ceremony plan with a tough attitude and go in the direction he expects. He doesn't want to disgust the poor and is more worried about exposing the real purpose of the game.
Mei Ziqing is so busy about this that she needs to convey Professor Mei's meaning to those who plan this grand ceremony. However, the brains of these rich people and professors are not the same thing. They take themselves too seriously or their money too seriously, and the professor disdains to have a direct dialogue with them, Mei Ziqing had to be a microphone between them again and again.
