As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 178 Indirect Effects (4000)

The weekly sales of 30 units in the Huaguo market does not seem to be much.

The number of pre-order purchases within 24 hours after the release of Apple's new products can exceed 300 million units.

As an electronic product whose lowest price is almost the same as that of the Apple Pro series, Futureverse sales seem to be mediocre.

But take into account that mobile phones are an everyday necessity, VR is not.Apple has operated the Huaguo market for more than ten years, and Kechuangfuture is just a newcomer in the VR industry.

Due to the high price of Futureverse, it is obviously inappropriate to compare VR products around 3000 yuan, such as pico and Quest, with it.

Even PS5, the price is only half of Futureverse.

Data can tell a lot.

Global sales of the PS5 in the first week of its release were 150 million units.

Taking into account Sony's long-term channel business, PS5 is only 50 more than Futureverse.

The channel provider here refers to the global channel provider. In the future, Kechuang can only spread offline channels in China, and it will take time to build offline channels worldwide.

Therefore, in foreign countries, Futureverse can only rely on online sales.

It’s not that I haven’t considered linking with Rice’s overseas offline stores and selling them through Rice’s offline channels.

However, considering that rice is priced on a cost-effective basis, especially in overseas markets, consumers' perception of brand grades is actually higher.

Therefore this option was not considered.

In the future, Kechuang just increased the advertising traffic on social media, and found many digital bloggers to make evaluation videos and other methods.

The overseas launch in the early stage was mainly through online channels.

The price of HTC Vive, which is much lower than that of Futureverse, is RMB 799. Only 10 units were sold worldwide in the three months after its release.

The first step of Futureverse can be said to be very beautiful.

"The numbers are good, the sales for the week met our expectations, but it wasn't enough."

"To build an ecology, it is still not enough to rely on the current number of users."

"We must make good use of the existing number of players to promote the fission of word-of-mouth in the player group."

"I want to see futureverse become the hottest public topic on social media recently."

Li Miaomiao was dressed in a suit at the internal executive meeting, quite imposing.

Zheng Li had already told her that Cheng Gang would gradually hand over the work in hand to her.

Li Miaomiao said that she is temporarily unable to take care of both sides. The brain-computer connection to VR is a critical period in the early stage, and she cannot take into account the science and innovation side.

Zheng Li didn't give her time to explain, and asked Li Miaomiao to find a good successor among the executives:

"You can distribute the power to your subordinates, and you only need to make the final decision."

"There's no need to do everything yourself."

After Li Miaomiao agreed, he planned to find a senior executive based on his performance this time, and let him do the overall management work for him.

Li Miaomiao continued: "I believe the production capacity can be maintained in a stable shipment state by adding money."

"At the same time, overseas offline channels need to be vigorously promoted. We cannot only have offline flagship stores in first-tier cities in other countries."

"Without the manpower to build a wider range of offline stores, we can follow the channels of other high-end shopping malls and only place experience products offline."

"Shopping is still done offline."

Kechuangfuture only has flagship stores in first-tier cities around the world such as New York, London, Lion City, and Paris.

I didn't expect the momentum to be so strong before, so I didn't consider rolling out offline channels to lower cities.

"Now that the sales volume has changed from our original one, the plan also needs to be changed, and short-term strategic planning needs to be done."

The popularity of Futureverse not only sells games, but also the VR live broadcast market is also booming.

The VR app specially developed by Bilibili has been launched in Futureverse’s built-in app store.

In the past, the anchor of the leather cover may need to cover a layer of leather, but now live broadcasting VR games, the first perspective does not even need a cover.

Station B also has specially developed 3D images for those who like to look at leather cases.

You can watch the live broadcast of the holster man in 3D effect, and you can also take a closer look.Of course there is a minimum distance limit.

But the most popular live broadcast is "The End of Heroes", and Goose Factory has grasped the needs of players very well.

Chicken eating games are a very mature game type, and there have been many successful cases all the time.

Goose Factory combines eating chicken with magic DND, and has created a game balance and combat system very well.

Use the most traffic for publicity, and the game itself is enough to meet the needs of players.

"Assassin's Creed" and "Legend of Zelda" are all gimmicks. To really play Futureverse, you have to watch "The End of Heroes".

This is a famous quote from a certain fan up host at station B in the video.

The most common thing on the barrage of this video is not "just bad money", but "really".

And the live broadcast of "The End of Heroes" is the most popular group.

The anchor can always accurately capture the direction of the wind, and live broadcast Futureverse content, and can also receive official subsidies from Station B.

It is naturally very attractive to small anchors.

Doomsday of Heroes provides two live broadcast modes of the first perspective and the third perspective for data streaming.

Many live broadcast audiences are not very good at playing games by themselves, but it is also very exciting to see the anchor killing the Quartet in the game.

Using the first perspective, this sense of substitution is even stronger.

The first-person perspective like LOL is not strong because you don’t have to operate it yourself, and you can watch your phone to do other things at the same time.

You don't feel like you're playing the game yourself.

VR is different. After you enter the live broadcast room and cut the first perspective, you can only follow the host to start his survival.

The sense of substitution is not generally strong.

Especially like some special horror games on steam, using VR to watch the anchor play the sense of substitution at night can make my heart beat faster.

Brain-computer connection VR is not only popular in games, but also in live broadcast ecology.

According to internal statistics, the average usage time of futureverse that has been turned on and activated is as high as three hours a day.

The data level satisfied shareholders, and Goose Factory realized that this move was right again.

"How do you evaluate Futureverse's global sales of over one million in the first week?"

"Thank you for the invitation, I can only say that Boss Zheng is terrifying.

Obviously, Kechuang's future brain-computer connection VR will become a milestone product in the VR field.

There are even digital products that hope to become milestones.Lower the bar for milestones and it already is.

The sales volume in the first week exceeded one million. If the follow-up word of mouth does not collapse, there is not much problem in the annual sales volume exceeding ten million.

You must know that the annual sales of ps2022 in 5 will only be 1500 million units.

The sales of 1000 million brain-computer-connected VR are as high as [-] billion RMB, and the service fee will be no less than [-] billion RMB.

Judging from the data, it can be said that the new entertainment ecology has been successfully created.

Users who spend 3000 yuan on pico may not be willing to spend 10000 yuan on a masterpiece VR game, but users who are willing to spend [-] yuan on Futureverse are definitely willing to spend [-] yuan on a masterpiece VR game.

I hope that domestic game manufacturers will give some effort to make a masterpiece. "Black Myth Wukong" has not yet come out, so you can directly consider VR platforms.

The style of Black Mythology fits well with VR, and you don’t have to worry about not matching the operation requirements when you connect your brain to VR.

The only thing I am afraid of is that domestic brain-computer connected VR will become a launcher for "The Last of Heroes".

Domestic game manufacturers do not have the confidence to compete with Goose Factory, so they give up because the risk is too high.

Friends around me who bought futureverse may play other games out of curiosity at first, but after three or five days of freshness, most of them only play "The Last of Heroes".

I have to say that Goose Factory does have a way of grasping the psychology of players.

For the three shareholders of Kechuang Future, the success of brain-computer connection VR is equally significant.

The moat of Kechuangbiology is digging deeper and deeper, and it is another representative product that revolves around brain-computer connections.

It is enough to prove its monopoly position in the field of brain-computer connection. It will take ten years for other manufacturers to catch up. What about you: neuralink.

Now I want to know whether brain-computer connected prosthetics can be included in this year's centralized medical procurement, otherwise it is indeed a bit expensive.

The stock price of Kechuangbio has to rise, the moon is not the limit, and Mars can barely make do.

For Goose Factory, once is a coincidence, twice is luck, and three times is indeed strength.

I always feel that Goose Factory has seized the ticket of the new era again, and is the first to get on the boat and wait to see how the Internet giants are scrambling for it.

With the ferry ticket in hand, I own the world.Goose Factory's vision is really good.

As for the rice, I can only say that I also want a junior like Zheng Li to take me and pretend to fly me.

Where can I find this kind of junior who casually leads me to earn tens of billions, if you find him, tell me.

Mr. Lei can relax a little bit. Even if the rice car fails, he will be hedged by the success of the brain-computer connection VR.

To make a car, or to make a new energy vehicle in this era, it is not an exaggeration to escape death.

It is a huge benefit to the three companies, and we can also see it from the capital market.

The upstream and downstream of the industry are also good. The annual sales of futureverse are expected to be [-] billion RMB, and the market value of the upstream and downstream of the industry leveraged will not be less than one trillion.

If it can develop into a complete VR ecosystem in the future, it will inject new impetus into the electronics industry in the Yangtze River Delta.

There have been rumors that Jinling, Jiangcheng, Shenhai and even Yanjing all hope that Kechuang Bio can move its headquarters there.

Before the brain-computer connection VR comes out, their willingness may be 8. After the brain-computer connection, this willingness will exceed the upper limit of 10.

If science and technology innovation does not come, science and technology will come in the future.

In the past, Kechuangbio's products tended to fight alone, which was not able to drive the development of the upstream and downstream industries.

Even super metal lithium materials are also product suppliers and an integral part of the industrial chain.

Unlike brain-computer connection VR, the role of Kechuangbio is to integrate the entire related industry chain.

In this process, it will inevitably bring about the concentration of technology and talents, and bring about the iteration of technology.

This is critical everywhere.

Zheng Li never came back, probably because he didn't want to face these chores.

From my point of view, I still hope that Kechuang can improve the realism in the future. It is best to convert electrical signals into brain nerve signals and have feedback.

As for the Witcher 4 of the Polish jackass, when will it be released?At that time, it is best to make a special wand-style operating handle.

Or there are domestic game manufacturers making magic VR games.

It doesn’t require much, just reproduce the Stockholm Concert Hall and let the player play Merlin, it’s not too handsome.

It's a pity that I am not this material, otherwise I would definitely devote myself to the magic coin mining business.

Finally, I would like to talk about my user experience. As a senior game enthusiast, and at the same time single without family pressure, it is natural that I bought a brain-computer connected VR for the first time.

It can only be said that it exceeded my expectations, and I don't have the slightest feeling that I am using my brain to control you.

It can really accurately recognize your thoughts, and it doesn't require you to think very deliberately to recognize your intentions.

The brain-computer connection is even better than I imagined.

At the same time, the picture, sound effects, and touch are all nothing to be picky about.

What surprised me the most was the sense of substitution of brain-computer connected VR games.

In the past, VR games that were operated by hand, required people to turn their bodies, and even required you to actually walk in reality to achieve movement seemed stupid.

Before I used futureverse, I didn't realize that there is something strange about VR that needs to turn around by myself, but after experiencing brain-computer connected VR today, I never want to go back to the past.

Connect the VR with the brain and computer, and you only need to lie on the sofa with the handle to enter the virtual world and start today's adventure.

What a pleasant thing this is, you don't have to play a VR and have to stand on the empty ground.

Being able to lie down and play VR also makes your usage time longer.It may be tiring to stand for an hour.

I haven't turned on my computer for three days since I bought Futureverse.

Those who play "The Last of Heroes" can add my ID, and play together when you have time at night. I mainly play battle mages, and I hope to form a regular team. "

There is a lot of discussion on Zhihu about brain-computer connection VR.

Not only on Zhihu, but also on Weibo and Xiaohongshu.

So much so that the end of the hero has hundreds of thousands of followers in just seven days, all of which are posts seeking a permanent team formation.

Doom of Heroes is a 4-person team eating chicken mode, and at the same time, the skills of different characters can be coordinated.

Therefore, the stability of the team is extremely important.

It is possible for four rookies with a fixed team to defeat a Pinduoduo team led by a great god.

What Zheng Li didn't expect was that the popularity of brain-computer connection VR indirectly led to a surge in Neuralink's valuation.

"Musk has once again increased the price of the next round of venture capital, this time at least 500 billion yuan."

Young's staff came back to report after participating in Neuralink's internal investment exchange meeting.

Young exclaimed:
"Why? Neuralink just made a brain-computer connection to a mobile phone, and it can only survive in the mid-range market."

"Musk doesn't think that the brain-computer connection VR that is now sold worldwide has anything to do with him."

The subordinate whispered: "He really thought it had something to do with him."

"His statement is that Kechuangbiology has explored more possibilities for brain-computer connections, letting the industry know that brain-computer connections have a wider space to make a difference."

"As the top three companies in the field of brain-computer connection, Neuralink should of course enjoy a higher premium."

Young was speechless about Musk's wild words, "The problem is that there is a huge difference between his ranking second and ranking first."

"The annual profit of the number one company in the field of brain-computer connection exceeds 500 billion, and it is expected to exceed [-] billion this year. How much is Neuralink's annual profit?"

"Even for high-tech companies, the valuation of 500 billion yuan is still too high."

The subordinate asked: "Then shall we still vote?"

Young originally wanted to subconsciously refuse, but after a second thought: "I will make a decision after I find someone to inquire about the news. Don't reveal our own inclinations in the report to the board of directors."

　In my last book, which is the parasitic log of extraterrestrial life, I wrote that the anchor of the leather man will become a big hit.

　　In the end, I didn't expect it to really catch fire, but the logic behind the fire was different from what I speculated in the book.
