A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

The molds on the side of the dimension gate are all variable molds. The plastic casting is performed through the memory metal deformation of black technology. A set of molds is controlled by a program and can be switched and used repeatedly at will.That is to say, a set of molds from the Dimension Gate Model Factory can make all types of products, and can be made at any level.This saves the trouble and cost of opening the mold. The memory metal is provided by Li Wei, and the cost is zero. The rest are the wear and tear of the machine, the electricity cost, and the material money.

That is to say, the HG-level Gundam model of the Dimension Gate Model Factory can reduce the cost to less than ten yuan while ensuring the quality is exactly the same as that of Bandai.After all, the PVC material as the main material is not a particularly valuable thing. The PC material soft glue used for the joints is also universal. A box of large-capacity HG-level models costs 140 soft sister coins for Bandai, and Li Wei sells it for 35. Yuan Taobao package shipping is considered a big profit.

The cost advantage is enough for Li Wei to defeat all hostile manufacturers, but Li Wei still disdains piracy. He is not the kind of person who is simply greedy for profit. Li Wei has too much money to spend. As long as he does not lose money, how can he It doesn't matter to play.In fact, the loss is not a big deal, it's just that the financial statements are not good-looking. For Li Wei, who pursues the purpose of doing what he needs to do, he should try to avoid losses as much as possible, and his feelings cannot be eaten.

(Domestic Long Taozi is cold, this model of Long Taozi is really a sea view room (funny), but Long Taozi is checked sooner or later, it is said that it was advertised to Japan, and in Bandai’s eyelids It’s a big death below. For the death of Long Taozi, the author actually feels a pity, because the quality of Long Taozi has surpassed Bandai’s genuine, and there will be some machines that Bandai’s official will never release. The official genuine version is much stronger. Although I know that piracy is not good, it is a pity for the author to make a joke about Long Taozi. Bandai checks piracy, yes, Long Taozi was too high-profile before. What kind of rumors have come, if there is an accident in Taipan, then the players in the domestic model circle who want to buy affordable products will be disappointed. Bandai's assembly department is not aggressive, and its technology has been surpassed by pirated copies. This is a very shameful thing in itself. I feel like I'm outraged.)

(Taipan and Taozi are both re-modeling, but the quality of Taipan is not very good. Although the price is cheap, the assembly experience is extremely poor. Vigorous Diamond Finger and Haoyakou are the basic skills. After finishing the Taipan model, many players will enter the game. The original pit is different, and Long Taozi is different. Not only does it turn over the mold well, but also surpasses Bandai's official genuine version in terms of magic reform and re-development, specializing in products that Bandai has not done well. This not only stole a batch of genuine products Users, also despise the assembly department who is crazy to draw PB (network limited purchase), so that it has become a serious problem for the confidant and will kill it.)

The most important thing is that the Dimension Gate Model Factory has its own IP. If the big IP of EVE is operated well, it can generate a lot of content. In addition, there is no cost pressure, and the Shouwu Model has now entered the countdown to the death penalty.The authorization of the niche IP is not actually owned by the Shouwu family. After all, the Gundam IP is unique to Bandai, but it is like the Machine Battle series, Macross Fortress, Assault Witch, Real Vehicle Series, Full Metal Frenzy, Gun Heart Blade, Magic Movement Most of the IPs such as Wang (Light Warrior), Shenlong Fighter, and Soth Mechanical Beast are not exclusive licenses, so Shouwu can buy licenses, and Dimension Gate can also buy them.

 …  

Moreover, the Dimension Gate Pen Shouwu is more rich, and the licensing fee can completely impress the IP side. Once Li Wei starts to release various small IP assembled models, the Shouwu will be finished, and the cost performance of the Dimension Gate will directly blow the Shouwu out of shit. Come.

All kinds of small IPs can actually make money if they are done well, and can enrich their product categories. Don’t be like the current old B. When it comes to the assembly department of the consortium B, the mother’s eggs are all Gundam.And the finished product department is not much better, it is also a Gundam of Yishui, which makes people unable to complain.In fact, the Dimension Gate has already opened up with the old B. Many people know that Bandai is all because of the Gundam model. In fact, in addition to the model, Bandai itself is also very awesome.

Bandai is one of the largest comprehensive entertainment companies in Neon. It has a huge presence in entertainment, Internet, animation products and peripherals. Its strength is spread all over the world. It has 27 subsidiaries in eight countries around the world. The scale of the behemoth is unmatched by the current dimensional gate.The two sides have maintained restraint for the time being, and there has not been any head-on conflict, because the entire Sasaki chaebol is standing behind Yexizi. This behemoth is an important reason why old B does not dare to mess around.

The Dimension Gate has also avoided the head-to-head confrontation with the consortium B for face. There are indeed many places in the business sectors of the two sides that overlap, but Li Wei and Ye Xizi are not planning to fight with Bandai and kill the enemy. A thousand self-destructing eight hundred things, only a fool does this. .

Chapter 766. The strange industry situation

The biggest conflict between the Dimension Gate and the old B is actually the confrontation between the assembly department and the finished product department. Fortunately, both sides have their own IP. You hit you and I hit me. In the eyes of outsiders, you and I are good friends. It's lively, in fact, Bandai and Dimension Gate maintain a high degree of tacit understanding, and everyone's well water does not make river water.Although the Dimension Gate looks huge now, it is actually a puffy giant, and it is very disadvantageous to fight against an old-fashioned force like Bandai.

And the old B is also a rat against the dimension door. The current strength of the dimension door, Bandai can indeed come out and pinch it, but the huge network behind the dimension door, unless the old B really doesn't want to mix in the neon, or else It wouldn't kill you like that.Although the Sasaki family is not a mad dog that must be reported, it is not something Bandai can afford to fight back. After all, even heavy industry consortia like Mitsubishi and Ishikawajima-Harima dare not confront the Sasaki family head-on. Although Bandai is a big brother in the entertainment industry The existence of, but for these real bigwigs, it is still not enough to watch "Five Five Zeros".

It is precisely because of Ye Xizi's special background that the development of Dimension Gate avoids all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods, and even when opening a branch to the outside world, local social organizations have to escort Dimension Gate.

It is also strange to say that although the neon underworld belongs to a kind of gray existence, it can be regarded as an organization that has its rationality recognized, but it is discriminated against. Dimension Gate gives certain benefits to these organizations, just like raising Like a dog, it saves a lot of trouble for a few dollars.And these social organizations also know what is next to them, and all of them are very honest and pleasing to the eye.

The conflict between the Dimension Gate Model Department and Consortium B is not as intense as outsiders imagined. The money is endless, and the money from A Zhai is the best to earn. This is the consensus of the industry. Ah Zhai is willing to buy it.As long as you don't play consumers as fools, in fact, many things are very simple. Just like old B likes to make various limited editions, Dimension Gate will do the opposite and do not engage in any restrictions.

Because the model department of Dimension Gate is infinitely close to zero, it is what the model world likes and the model department can produce immediately. This is something that no other model manufacturer can do.For example, if [-] people buy a model, then Bandai will reluctantly rummage through it, take out the old mold and use it.The Dimension Gate Model Department has no such consideration. As long as [-] people like this model, well, open the model.The technical gap between the two parties determines the income. Many model players complain that Bandai Wannian remakes old models. After all, molds are also very expensive, so it is a matter of caution to produce new molds.

There is no need to be so troublesome here. A group of people can make a UG combination diagram, and then input it into the central computer, so that the memory metal can be fixed to the required shape according to the UG design diagram, and then mass production can start. The real value is the model. Designers and UG producers, the wages of these people add up to about [-] million neon yuan per month.Although this looks very high, it can't stand the fact that there are few people in the model department of the Dimension Gate. Because of the high automation of the production line, the number of people needed is pitiful. For such a large brand, the total number of front-line workers is less than [-] people. There are more clerks and other positions, including cleaning staff. The entire Dimensional Model Department has less than [-] employees. Compared with Bandai's huge staff size, Li Wei and Ye Xizi have to pay out salaries and Bandai every month. One is simply pitiful.So how to calculate, the model department of Dimension Gate is more profitable than Bandai's model department.

In the month since Li Wei left, the instant noodle fan "Leisure Xinghai Story" has opened up in the European and American markets, and the official linkage with EVE has also achieved great success, making EVE's popularity ushered in a burst point, coupled with EVE The world server has just finished a "World War", and the total loss of battleships in the game exceeds 300 million US dollars, which has caused another big impact on the European and American game market and brought greater fame, making EVE officially from A hardcore game entered the public eye.Although some people don't play EVE, they always like to watch lively, and because of their exquisite design and unique style, the various warships in EVE in turn make the models of the Dimension Gate Model Department sell well, even now, This upsurge has not completely subsided. From the perspective of the model department, this time it really made a lot of money.

You must know that the Dimension Gate Model Department does not have a branch, so the orders placed in Europe, America, China and other regions are all orders purchased by Amazon globally. They have to be shipped from Neon, and the freight in the middle is relatively expensive. Fortunately, It was Ye Xizi that had something to do with it. She lowered the cost of shipping by sea, that is, adding a tariff.Because of the cost, the price is not too high, at least model lovers in Europe and the United States can accept it.Moreover, the quality of the items in the model department of Dimension Gate is too good, and it is simply a "public enemy of the industry".

Because the price itself is very cheap, it is impossible for pirates to lower the price, and they have to lose money.There is also a problem that the quality gap is too large. You must know that the mold will wear out after a long time, so the price of the first batch of models made from a new mold will be higher, because the quality is the best, and as the mold ages, Models made from old molds will be appropriately reduced in price accordingly, which can be regarded as an alternative clearance process.

Because the mold used in the dimension gate model is pressed by memory metal, there is no problem of aging and wear. The same model will not have much difference between different batches, and the quality is excellent.And Huaxia's pirated models simply can't reach that level of sophistication. Even if they spend a lot of effort to make the molds, they can't make money, and the cost of opening the molds can't be recovered.Putting two models of the same model together, the gap will appear quite large, and you can see at a glance who is genuine and who is pirated.In the end, they can only say helplessly that they can't make this model. Players can only buy the genuine version if they want to collect it. Anyway, the price is not expensive. It is a bit cheaper than the Bandai Shouwu. speak.

This is the maximization of the benefits brought by the technical advantages. The low unit price cannot stand the low cost and large shipment volume. Moreover, as the new standard of conscience in the industry, the dimension door will choose different packaging according to the different delivery areas when printing the manual. And the manual, the model sent to the Huaxia region is the Chinese cover painting and the Chinese manual, and the European and American regions are also the language counterparts, and the packaging is made according to the different countries of delivery.For this detail, many model players expressed their goodwill. Manufacturers attach importance to and respect consumers, and consumers will buy the manufacturer's account.

Speaking of which, the piracy industry in Huaxia is not good either. The pirated products are exported overseas, and Li Wei's model has also become an anecdote in the industry. Many people will make fun of Long Taozi and Taipan. come out. (On this timeline, Long Taozi hasn’t come cold yet.) Let’s talk about a more interesting thing. When a new member of the Italian Mafia joins the club, he will burn a statue of Jesus to show his loyalty to the organization, but the hand-painted oil painting is really too much. It was too expensive, so the Italian mafia imported a large number of hand-painted Jesus statues from China.

The hand-painted Jesus statue by the local Italians is about 800 euros, which is equivalent to more than 700 soft sister coins, while the hand-painted Jesus statue in Huaxia is only 80 soft sister coins. It is guaranteed that the pattern and the edge of the pen are exactly the same as the original. The price of euros is less than [-] euros, and the tenfold difference makes the Italian mafia choose Huaxia manufacturing, which is really indescribable joy. (This is a true event, although it is full of slots. Fiction needs logic, but reality does not need it, so it is possible for any absurd thing to happen in real life. Even Trump, a funny emperor who makes up the numbers, can be the president. What is impossible?).

Chapter 767. Entering the game world

Compared with the model department with a sturdy record, the game department of Dimension Gate is relatively general.In the game department of Dimension Gate, mobile games and end games are separated. Because the gameplay of mobile games and end games is hugely different, Ye Xizi was separated when he created these two departments.

In this regard, Dimension Gate has its own plans.

Speaking of this issue, Li Wei and Ye Xizi started to "quarrel" again, but the sound insulation was done well, so there was no need to worry about arguing with the people next door who were playing trick cards.

"I think we need our own consoles, just like Sony and Nintendo. Without our own consoles, we are at an absolute disadvantage!" Ye Xizi said excitedly.

"I can't agree with you on this issue. It is unwise to confront Sony and Nintendo head-on, because in the game industry, we are still weak. Although I did Titan Quest 2 before, I have bought With the copyright, we can release it in a fair and open manner, but we are alone. Game consoles don’t just do what they say, it’s not just a matter of money.” Li Wei drank his tea calmly, not being carried away by a series of victories , The current 20 strength of the dimension gate is not suitable for pulling hatred from multiple parties.

"Uh... well, I was impulsive. Then Li Weijun, if we want to develop our own game industry, what should we do?" Ye Xizi propped his chin with both hands and said angrily like a spoiled child. This change, Ye Xizi didn't even notice it.

"Imitate V's STEAM and build an online game platform. First, avoid competition with console manufacturers. When the time is right, I will kill him personally. I have studied the advantages and disadvantages of console games and computer games in detail. Yes, so this strategy was chosen." Li Wei smiled.

"Li Weijun, please explain, I don't know much about this. After all, I am a layman when it comes to games. If I were asked to deal with animation, comics, and light novels, I would be very skilled. If you don't understand, you don't understand."

"Let's talk about the advantages of console games first. First of all, it is the consumption habits of Neon people, which determines that online games on the computer side are not popular. Compared with online games that occupy the majority of social networking, Neon gamers prefer to experience story-based RPG games. , even after so many years, its core is still the same. And it is not so easy to change the consumption habits cultivated by Sony and Nintendo. We have developed our own console at this time, even if the performance is different Excellent is useless, because there are not enough games to 'fill the library'. Buying Sony and Nintendo consoles, you can play a lot of games, and our consoles have only a few games for the time being, how can we fight them? Even our consoles After the quality of the game has exploded, it is unrealistic to forcibly open up the situation.”

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"Although computer games are not very popular in Neon, you must know that Neon people themselves are wonderful people. The so-called Neon standards are just a joke, 'closing the country', so we must jump out of this circle and be in other people's rules. Spinning around, you can only follow in the footsteps of others. The advantage of being an online game platform is that you can make use of the WTOM trade agreement to make a global layout. Although there are not many computer players in Neon, but Europe, America and China There are at least more than [-] million computer gamers in the region, which is a huge market. Instead of competing with Sony and Nintendo to grab that market, it is better to directly participate in global competition.”

Ye Xizi's eyes are shining, her thinking is still limited, and because Li Wei is accustomed to thinking of the whole game of chess, when thinking about industrial problems, it is not just as simple as messing with neon, but global layout, doing to maximize impact.

"V's SETAM was bundled with CS2002 in 1.4. Now more than ten years have passed, SETAM has grown into a behemoth. But STEAM alone can't swallow such a big cake. G fat can do it, and we can too. It can be done. And compared with the ugly Sony and Nintendo, it is easier to compete with STEAM. Because console games are all exclusive, the interests of developers have long been tied to the console manufacturers, and we rashly entered the game, no one will support We. As a digital distribution platform, not every game on the computer side is exclusive, and it is not difficult for manufacturers to sell games on our platform. Plus our own game exclusiveness It's not that difficult to develop a town."

Li Wei just gave an idea, and the smart Ye Xizi has seen the huge benefits. Li Wei has absolute technical advantages, so it is very simple to solve the problem of global networking, and game manufacturers are for the benefit. In addition to the sale, the sale of digital platforms can also be carried out by multiple parties. The platform only charges a fee, which is a win-win situation for the platform and the manufacturer.

And a new platform means a new point of interest growth. Now, in order to allow manufacturers to log their games on their own platforms, the treaty can be appropriately tilted towards manufacturers, plus their own support for various independent games, And the "super masterpiece" that Li Wei can produce stably can form a complete chain of interests. Thinking of this, Ye Xizi's whole person's thinking becomes more and more sober.She is the kind of crazy madman who knows everything, so Li Wei doesn't need to say too much.

"Well... I understand what you mean by Li Weijun, but this matter can't be rushed for a while. I need to collect STEAM information. Since it is a digital platform, then we must be thorough in terms of function and stability. It is necessary to outperform the other party. In this regard, I will set up an 'expert team' to operate to ensure that our digital distribution platform will not be at a disadvantage in the competition. We need your assistance in technical aspects such as program development, and I will contact you Game makers, pull enough games for the platform. And we can also, like Sony and Nintendo, cultivate 'powers' close to us, so that some makers are willing to put games on our platform for sale. In short, what to do There are a lot of things, we have to be busy again, Li Weijun, can you be busy? Now you have a lot of things."

"No problem, program development or something is not a problem for me. You must know that the engine of the sequel to Titan Journey was developed by myself. In terms of programming, I should be the number one in the world if I get serious."

Li Wei is not bragging, but as a god, his ability has already surpassed that of mortals, so he can do things better and faster than others. Of course, that's the opposite. Li Wei's function is enough to make any woman So cool.

Although Li Wei seems to be very busy now, in fact, he has spare energy, and if there is any problem, he can handle it. .

Chapter 768. Industry Competition

Another big difference between PC games and console games is configuration optimization. This is why Li Wei bypasses the console. One advantage of consoles is that they can set standards. It is custom-made to maximize the performance of the host, because the performance limit is there and will not change, so each game can optimize the performance of the host to the extreme.

PC games are problematic at this point. Unlike the console, the configuration of the PC is very free. Players configure according to their own needs, so there is no uniform standard for optimization.Li Wei is not omnipotent. The optimization of a game is targeted, and it is unrealistic to achieve dominance in the whole field, so he optimizes based on Boss Huang's N card. I can only say sorry, and when you play games with an A card, you must be prepared to face all kinds of strange problems.Now the mainstream game optimization is mainly based on the N card, supplemented by the A card, and the A card is mainly used for graphics software with high color requirements.

After all, the color tone performance of the A card is very strong, but when encountering a large-scale game of "burning machine" level, it is easy to drop frames and freeze in large scenes. If you want to pursue a smooth experience in large scenes, N card is better than A card is much more reliable.If it is a decryption game with few battles and the battle scene is not too big, then the N card and the A card are actually similar.It's like Li Wei's previous sequel to Titan's Journey, which involves a large-scale siege battle. That kind of big scene is not the petty fight mode of other games, but a real map full of people. Big chaos, such a big scene, quite burned the graphics card.
