Chapter 450 Reservation Open

There is nothing to say about the work, all the work around the low-light host is in place, even Chen Tiancai only needs to stare at the background of the world editor, and the progress of all projects is clear.

Before the New Year, Anthem Network released the annual holiday notice as usual, and all employees' half-month annual leave will be taken as usual, and the travel ban has been lifted in the country, allowing employees to relax after a long absence.

The only employees who felt that there had been a big change were those in the art group. They were surprised to find that An Qinghuan had become less swearing recently, and she often showed a warm smile at work.

The days move forward little by little. After the annual vacation, the employees returned to work with a new round of enthusiasm for work, which made the progress of each game go further.

The Spring Festival holiday is still a seven-day period for the Internet, which is mainly to allow employees to renew their last strength and launch a sprint for the last few months.

After the holiday, Chen Tiancai also began lengthy business negotiations with Lao Ren and Suo Dafa.

Perhaps it was Chen Tiancai's better attitude at the beginning, which made the two parties feel that they could dig more meat, so their demands were rather excessive at the beginning, for example, they wanted to use the low-light prototype to develop their own host , The so-called cooperation platform is to establish a unified game store and format.

But why would Chen Tiancai take this kind of thing? He integrated the console circle so that there would no longer be so many types of consoles, and the performance of the low-light console is unique and unique. There is no need to develop a low-light console.

Since Chen Tiancai was still on the strong side, the negotiators of the two parties still gave up this impossible proposal.

It took Chen Tiancai a week to discuss this matter, which really made him feel like a waste of time.

So later on he speeded up the progress of the negotiations, and directly started to share the cake with Lao Ren and Suo Dafa.

The gaming industry is nothing more than a few income channels.

Chen Tiancai asked Lao Ren and Suo Dafa to act as distributors for the sales of the Shimmer console, and divided the global business into almost three equal parts, so that the three of them could get their first dessert with the Shimmer console.

As for the following content, Lao Ren and Suo Dafa are naturally ready to follow up, start to make plans, and prepare to develop their own Shimmer game.

So the cake was divided into the bulk, the sales of the game.

Chen Tiancai divided the game sales cake into two.

One share is the sales of your own game, which will be transferred to the developer of the game after deducting 20.00% of the profit.

The [-]% of the profits will be distributed on a quarterly basis, according to the shares each company occupies in the new company in the future.

In other words, the three of them will hand over the distribution rights and establish a joint hairstyling company.

In this way, during the long negotiations, Chen Tiancai and the two of them finally found a balance point and completed all the cooperation.

However, Chen Tiancai is still firmly in control of the low-light main unit and the low-light prototype. The only loose condition he gives is that Lao Ren and Suo Dafa can develop various accessories for the low-light main unit. Naturally, all the profits belong to them.

This is the way of doing business, after feeding the appetites of several parties, it is almost the same.

After more than three months, from February to the end of May, all the conditions of Zange Network, Lao Ren and Suo Dafa were finally negotiated.

Then in June, this shocking news was announced. It is conceivable that the industry was shocked by this major cooperation.

At least those game manufacturers who were still waiting to see the development of low-light consoles immediately started contact plans, because the cooperation between these three parties is the beginning of a new generation in their view. The originally divided console market has finally entered a unified stage.

Microsoft took a very strong stance, accusing Chen Tiancai of violating business principles and wanting to monopolize the gaming industry, and even secretly launched a boycott in the United States.

However, in the eyes of the American people, the price of 999 US dollars for the Microlight console is actually more conscientious than many of Microsoft's products. In addition, most of the people in the console circle are fans of Lao Ren and Suo Dafa, so it did not cause any waves.

Even Chen Tiancai didn't play, and some discerning people began to criticize Microsoft's own monopoly business.

These are reasonable situations and were expected by Chen Tiancai, and to be honest, the situation was much better than he imagined.

This is the power of unity. If only Anthem Network faced Microsoft, the impact would be several times greater than it is now.

There is no other reason than that Lao Ren and Suo Dafa have a lot of business in the United States. They can stop many people's mouths by spreading information and profits casually.

……

June, July, August...

The days passed faster and faster, and it finally came to the time when the Shimmer console began to accept reservations.

December 26th, the first day after Christmas, is the moment when the Shimmer host is officially released.

The number of Weiguang hosts that Chen Tiancai has prepared has reached 300 million units.

What is even more exciting than these 300 million low-light consoles is that more than a hundred game developers around the world have announced that they have begun to develop low-light console games, and the supporting low-light development machines have long entered Hongguang Electronics , is in hot production.

The price of each Weiguang development machine is naturally much more expensive than that of the Weiguang host machine. The purchase price alone reaches two thousand dollars. Although the sales volume is only tens of thousands of units, the profit is also huge.

At 31:10 on the morning of August 30st, Zange Network officially opened reservations. Almost immediately, a large number of players poured in. If Chen Tiancai hadn't given an early warning, the official website would have been paralyzed.

And the final booking results are also very gratifying. In less than half an hour, the 300 million units of the Vivid consoles were fully booked.

Suddenly, there was a trend on the global Internet to show off that they had pre-ordered the Weiguang console. Many people who had not grabbed it were even willing to spend twice as much to buy it from other people in order to get the Weiguang console as soon as possible. arrive.

The emergence of such a tight commodity has certainly made many middlemen smile. They have prepared countless manpower and are ready to continue to snap up more low-light consoles in the next round.

But soon they received a fatal blow, because Chen Tiancai had planned in advance the means of punishing them and started to play.

The same situation was also predicted by Chen Tiancai. In the second-hand market, the pre-order and transfer price of the Weiguang console began to drop. After all, every player who paid a large price did not want to lose the model that Chen Tiancai demonstrated at the press conference. The awesome "Magic and Sword".

That's right, in order to further combat scalpers, Chen Tiancai announced that "Magic and Sword" will only be randomly given away and will not be sold separately, continuing the limited-time activation strategy.

However, if you want to deal with scalpers, the most direct way is to distribute a large number of goods. As long as there are enough goods, players will of course be able to get the goods at a preferential price.
