Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

"Look at the feedback from the players in two days."

　　 Pei Qian didn't care too much about this. As long as Meng Chang is still working hard to pursue the commission, he is trustworthy.

　　 Whether this propaganda plan is concrete or feasible, it is still not clear.

　　 Although the news of "Ghost 2" came out, the actual demonstration video was released, and it also caused some repercussions among the players of "Ghost", but after all, the heat has not spread.

　　 Now I am looking forward to "Ghost 2". Most of them are old players of "Ghost" and fighting game enthusiasts. This group only accounts for a small part of the player group, and their attitude does not represent much.

　　 "Ghost 2" has invested a lot of money. Whether it can return to the original cost depends on the extent to which it breaks the circle, and how many non-fighting game players willingly pay for it.

　　 If only fighting game players like it, then the best result is not earning at most.

　　 Therefore, Pei Qian is not in a hurry, and intends to observe again.

　　 He still has many more important things to be busy at this stage.

　　 "Let me take a look at "Safe and Civilized Driving" how is it?"

"Ok…"

　　 "The popularity of the game is very high, but the sales are okay, a little bit better than I thought."

　　 Pei Qian first took a look at the game sales of "Safe and Civilized Driving" and found that it is not as popular as many other Tenda games.

　　 "Safe and Civilized Driving" is a huge investment in the game itself, and for these sales, it is indeed impossible to recover the cost in the short term.

　　 As for why sales are more optimistic, Pei Qian roughly guessed it.

　　 This game mode is mainly responsible for it!

　　 At present, most of the racing games on the market are similar. The initial difficulty is very low, and the keyboard and handle can be controlled relatively well.

　　 Even some particularly hard-core driving simulation games will at least add a driving assistance system so that players can smoothly run the entire process at the beginning after entering the game.

　　 But "Safe and Civilized Driving" is not only a very hard-core driving simulation game, but also innovatively joined the driver's license test link!

　　 This link is the ultimate persuasion for gamepad and keyboard players.

　　 Of course, some keyboards and handles can pass the driver's license exam with their superb micromanipulation, but such gods are rare after all, and they have to put in a lot of time and effort.

　　 Therefore, this driving license test persuaded many people to leave.

　　 I took the driver’s license several times, but I couldn’t do it. Then I glanced at the time and it happened to be within the refund time.

　　 Then why are you still hesitating? Refund now!

　　 This time, there is no official ridicule of "Looking Back to the Shore", and the players are resolutely refunding their refunds.

　　 After buying a steering wheel and passing the driver's license test, the experience of this game will indeed rise sharply, but most players can't stick to this step.

　　 Specially spent thousands of dollars on a steering wheel for playing games, meaning you gave me a dish of vinegar, and I also made a special meal of dumplings?

　　 Many people have this kind of mentality, so they would rather choose to be a cloud player, watch the anchor and drive the test again and again, rather than go to the game to suffer.

　　 So the current situation appeared: many keyboard, mouse and controller players were dissuaded, and many players were hesitant to buy a steering wheel and were watching.

Although the game "Safe and Civilized Driving" has aroused hot discussion on the Internet, it has only attracted the heat to the live broadcast circle and the hard-core driving simulation player circle. It has not really broken the circle and reached the level of some racing games. The degree of "national game".

　　 After reading this, Pei Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

so far so good!

　　 After the previous collision result of Passat came out, Pei Qian was still frightened for a long time, for fear that the collision function of this game would trigger a terrible chain reaction, which would cause the game to explode.

　　 But now it seems that the situation is not so bad?

　　 Although the popularity has indeed risen, it does not seem to have an effect on the sales of the game for the time being.

Although many people on the Internet are playing with Passat’s affairs as a stalk, which has caused a heavy blow to the sales of the new Passat in China, most people are not because of a game that exposes Passat’s quality problems. Choose to buy?

　　 Pei Qian couldn't help but feel more at ease.

　　 "How about the sales of the Kangkang Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator?"

　　 "Well... it's okay too."

　　 Judging from the sales data, there is no such a sales boom as the fully automatic bar lifter and smart fitness drying rack, and there is no out-of-stock situation on the product detail page, which seems to be pretty good.

　　 "It's perfect!"

　　 Pei Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised, the current situation is already beyond his expectation.

　　 The game did not explode, nor did the simulation equipment explode. Wouldn’t it be a big success?

The current Pei Qian has long since been expecting good things like violent deaths in games. I don’t want anyone to care about the game. As long as it stays within a very small range, it doesn’t matter no matter how high the reputation is, there is no way to break it anyway. Circle, it is impossible to recover the huge cost of investment.

In terms of Tenda's current size, every new project is fully invested, so the definition of the concept of "success" is getting higher and higher. It has been completely achieved to the extent that ordinary small companies can do it. It's not a success.

　　 "In that case, can I rent or buy more large warehouses?"

　　 "I have to go see the situation over the warehouse!"

　　 Pei Qian was on a whim and was going to check the inventory situation.

Tenda has several large warehouses and many warehouses in Jingzhou. The storage system is a network layout: there are large warehouses in the suburbs of Jingzhou in different directions, and then there are smaller ones near Tenda's physical industrial complex centered on Moyu Internet cafes. In the warehouse, some goods were also stored in the Upwind Station.

　　 Other cities are similar, and they are all planned according to this plan.

　　This three-level storage layout is like a series of dams upstream of a river, which can ensure that Upwind Logistics can deliver products to customers as quickly as possible, while also ensuring that there is no shortage of goods as much as possible.

Of course, these stocks pile up, and the backlog of goods inventory is also very scary. Once the price fluctuates, it has to be sold at a lower price. Such a large amount of inventory is enough to make some weak small companies die several times.

　　 But this is exactly what Pei Qian wants.

　　From now on, as long as no one buys the price of the backlog goods, it is a win-win: Pei Qian wins twice!

　　 Whether he was forced to sell at a lower price and lost money, or if he did not cut the price so that the inventory continued to depreciate in the warehouse, Pei Qian won.

　　 Of course, the worst case is that these goods are all sold smoothly, and the blood can't be stopped no matter how stocks are prepared, which is terrible.

　　 But that shouldn’t happen right now.

Of course, these warehouses are not all equipped with driving simulators. They are filled with various Tenda products, whether they are new products, old products, digital products developed by Outu Technology, or furniture and home appliances in cooperation with other manufacturers. Products are available in stock.

　　NFL Logistics is striving to achieve the ultimate in "delivery to your door in the shortest time".

　　 Pei Qian wondered, if none of the driving simulators in the inventory are sold, can he just rent a new warehouse?

　　 Warehouses, the more the better!

　　 Thinking of this, Pei Qian called Ye Zhizhou and said that he was going to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city to take a look.

　　 After seeing the situation in the warehouse, he happened to chat with Ye Zhizhou about the current situation of the game.

　　...

　　 An hour later, Pei Qian came to Tenda’s largest warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing.

　　 Ye Zhizhou should have been waiting in the warehouse.

　　 Actually, Pei Qian originally wanted to call Changyou, but Changyou was still suffering on the island and could only come back at the end of this month, so he didn't call the other people from Outu Technology.

　　 Just when Pei Qian got out of the car, he felt something was wrong.

　　 Because there are two large trucks parked at the door, one large truck is unloading, and the other is loading!

　　The big truck unloaded is loaded with a full car of safe and civilized driving simulator equipment. There are package versions that are all packed in large boxes, and there are also small pieces such as steering wheels and gear levers that are separately packed.

　　 Several forklifts and workers were unloading in full swing, and the drivers of the two large trucks looked very young, and they found a place to sit beside them, smoking and chatting while watching the loading and unloading.

　　 "Have you played "Safe and Civilized Driving" yet?"

　　 "What is that? I haven't heard of it."

　　 "I haven't heard of it? It's the thing we pulled, all behind this is the analog steering wheel equipment!"

　　 "Is it a game? Why doesn't it feel right to hear this name?"

　　 "It's a game of driving a big truck, but it's fun."

　　 "Huh? You drive to pull the goods every day, not enough? Do you want to continue driving the big truck in the game? Is your brain burnt out?"

　　 "Hey, how do you say this, it's really different, you'll know if you try."

　　 The two chatted enthusiastically, and they didn't pay attention to Pei Qian, but treated him as an ordinary passerby.

　　 It's just that Pei Qian didn't calm down when he heard the conversation between the two.

what's the situation?

　　Even truck drivers who pull goods are playing this game?

　　 is outrageous!

　　 But after another thought, this is after all for the driver of Tendal, understand the usefulness of this simulator, out of curiosity to buy it for fun, it seems that you can exercise your driving skills when you have nothing to do at home.

　　 It’s not a big problem for truck drivers to play "Safe and Civilized Driving". The key is, why are there still big trucks loading and unloading now?

　　 This is the real reason that makes Pei Qian highly vigilant.

It stands to reason that Tenda’s stocking was done before the official launch of the safe and civilized driving simulator. After the goods were purchased from the foundry, they were first shipped to Tenda’s large warehouses, and then gradually spread to other cities, including some small ones. In the inventory and the Upwind Station.

　　In other words, the inventory should have been laid out a long time ago, and all the warehouses should be spread out.

　　 What is the situation with such a large-scale purchase and shipment? Shouldn't there be so many sales?

　　Continuing to walk inside, Pei Qian noticed that the warehouse was also busy.

　　As Tenda grows larger and larger, the warehouse has become more and more formal.

　　 When Tenda first started its own warehouse, there was only a small warehouse, and the shelves were filled with digital products, memory, graphics cards and so on from other manufacturers, which was quite improvised.

　　 Now, not only the number of warehouses has increased dramatically, but the warehouses have also changed a lot. They have become neatly tall shelves. Various products are placed in different categories, and small forklifts are used to load and pick up the goods.

　　 Several small forklifts are busy, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com puts all kinds of goods.

　　 Ye Zhizhou has arrived, and seeing Pei Qian coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

　　 "President Bae!"

　　 Pei Qian looked at the situation in the warehouse as if he was approaching an enemy: "Recently... has the sales of safe and civilized driving simulators increased significantly?"

　　 Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Yes, you already know Mr. Pei?"

　　 Pei Qian stayed awkwardly, and didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

　　 What do I already know?

　　 I know a hammer!

　　 I guessed it completely based on my usual urine and the abnormal movement in the storeroom!

　　 Seeing Mr. Pei’s expression, Ye Zhizhou suddenly said: "Oh! Mr. Pei, you don’t know it, you have predicted it, right?"

　　 Pei Qian: "..."

　　 felt outrageous at the same time, Pei Qian wondered, the game sales did not seem to skyrocket.

　　 It stands to reason that the number of purchases of a safe and civilized driving simulator should show a certain positive correlation with the number of purchases of the game. The proportion of players playing racing games with the steering wheel to all players should be roughly stable.

　　 Now that the sales of games have not skyrocketed, the number of simulator purchases has skyrocketed. What is going on?
