The additional investment for the VR glasses was decided.
Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation would each invest another ten million yuan. That would be more than enough to develop a VR glasses. What's more, the final product would definitely be the most technologically advanced batch on the market.
However, this also brought about a huge risk.
After all, the current development of the VR industry was very slow, and it was a blank in the country. If there were no surprises, this pair of glasses would most likely be priced at more than 4,000 yuan, and the profit would not be too high.
How many people would spend money to buy it? How many glasses would he have to sell to recoup the 40 million in R&D costs?
If he could earn 400 yuan per VR glasses, he would have to sell 100,000 yuan to break even.
Currently, it would be very difficult to find someone in the country who was willing to spend more than 4,000 yuan to buy a pair of VR glasses.
If he wanted to expand the user base, he would have to reduce the price of the promotion, which would further dilute his profits. The final sales figures would probably be much higher than this.
Pei Qian felt an inexplicable sense of happiness after some calculations.
Luckily, my goal is to lose money!
If his goal was to make money, he would never have made up his mind to do something so risky.
But now, the higher the risk, the more he looked forward to it!
Pei Qian glanced at his watch. It was past four in the afternoon.
He had to admit that his efficiency was very high. He rushed here at three o 'clock, and the time spent on the road plus the time spent discussing matters had only passed a little more than an hour.
When it came to spending money, it had to be fast!
Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave. Lin Chang and Lin Wan walked him out.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin walking towards him.
"Hello, Boss Pei!" Both of them quickly greeted him.
Ever since Lin Wan left Shang Yang Games, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin had completely taken over. Although Ye Zhizhou was the person in charge on the surface, Wang Xiaobin was also the person in charge.
The two of them worked together to deal with different matters.
For example, Wang Xiaobin was in charge of developing 'Fitness Battle'.
After establishing Slow Movement Workspace, Pei Qian asked Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin to take some time to help. He hoped that Slow Movement Workspace could get on the right track as soon as possible. That way, Lin Wan would not think about returning to Tengda Corporation.
It was obvious that Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin had come over to discuss some work-related matters.
Pei Qian looked at his watch. "It's almost time to knock off. Hurry up."
Both of them quickly said, "Alright, Boss Pei! We will definitely get off work on time! "
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "You guys have to pay more attention to Slow Movement Workspace. If you can't handle it, it's fine to put aside the work on Shang Yang Games for the time being."
"You must prioritize, understand?"
Both of them nodded again. "Alright, Boss Pei. We understand!"
Pei Qian was quite satisfied with their attitudes. He said goodbye to everyone and left.
The success of 'Fitness Battle' should obviously be blamed on Wang Xiaobin.
However, the strange thing was that Pei Qian did not have any intention or mood to denounce them.
Why was that?
Perhaps it was because the success of the game was too common. What's more, he had just been stabbed by Mission and Choice. Therefore, Pei Qian's pain was already a little dull …
However, Pei Qian did not forget to take precautions against Shang Yang Games' next move.
After the two of them took over as the person-in-charge of Shang Yang Games, Fitness Battle had already achieved success. They would definitely be ambitious enough to develop new games.
Wouldn't he have to continue making money by making new games?
How could Boss Pei let them succeed so easily?
Thus, Pei Qian specially instructed them to be more attentive and help Lin Wan deal with Slow Movement Workspace's matters. If they were too busy, they could even temporarily put aside the work on Shang Yang Games.
In any case, Slow Movement Workspace's project had already been decided. One more person or one less person would not affect the progress of the project much. That would not only temporarily halt Shang Yang Games, but it would also allow Lin Wan to adapt to life outside Tengda faster. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
Of course, he could not say that too clearly.
However, Pei Qian believed that Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin would definitely take his words seriously and carry them out unwaveringly.
…
After leaving Slow Movement Workspace, Pei Qian took a car back to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe near his residence. He prepared to go home and rest after dinner.
It was Thursday today. There were fewer people in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe than during the weekend. However, the first and second floors were still full.
However, compared to the scene when it exploded, the crowded situation had improved to a certain extent. The load of the entire internet cafe had almost returned to a normal level.
Pei Qian knew that this was because Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was opening more and more branches!
At the moment, the main development direction of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and other physical industries was in Jingzhou, other cities in Handong Province, as well as the three super first-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
There were many local industries in Jingzhou.
After the distribution of so many branches, these old restaurants were no longer overcrowded. They looked much quieter, and Pei Qian felt more comfortable eating there every day.
However, the current situation of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe still worried him. That was because Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had started the earliest, was the most famous, and earned the most money among all the physical industries. What's more, Xiao Peng was not a pushover. Now that Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had evolved to Stage 3.0, Pei Qian felt insecure.
Thus, every time he ate, he would think about how to reduce Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's income. Today was no exception.
However, it was not that easy to think of a solution.
That was because Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had been divided into a coffee area, a movie area, a book area, a shopping area, and many other areas when it was initially designed. Many useless functions had been added.
The seats in the internet area, which was the most profitable, were also very spacious.
That way, it would be very difficult for the entire internet cafe to make a profit. It was also at the critical point that the system could allow.
If there was only one computer in the entire internet cafe, it would not be profitable, but the system would not allow it.
However, it was difficult to make a profit, but it was still profitable!
After making a profit, the entire internet cafe suddenly entered a virtuous cycle. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe became synonymous with high-end internet cafes because of its spacious location, superior conditions, and rich functions. When people nearby talked about high-end internet cafes, the first thing they thought of was Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
Some people even called to make appointments and recharge in large amounts just to reserve seats in advance.
The other businesses in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe also made a lot of money. For example, the drinks at the bar counter and the store on the second floor accounted for a large portion of the internet cafe's income.
Pei Qian wanted to make some changes, but it was difficult to do so in the current situation.
After making a trip to Slow Movement Workspace today, Pei Qian suddenly had an idea. He had a new idea.
What's more, this idea quickly formed a perfect plan in his mind!
Pei Qian immediately called Xiao Peng and asked him to come over.
Ever since Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's business entered the super first-tier cities, Xiao Peng had become a busy person. He often flew between several cities. Fortunately, he happened to be in Jingzhou this week, so he rushed over quickly.
Xiao Peng was very happy to see Boss Pei.
However, Pei Qian stopped him just as he was about to greet him.
Xiao Peng immediately understood. There were many people in the shop. He could not expose himself.
There were many regulars in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, but these regulars thought that Pei Qian was just Boss Pei's actor and not the real Boss Pei because Tengda had done a good job of keeping it a secret. Only the employees in the internet cafe knew his true identity, and the employees were very cooperative with his acting skills.
As for Xiao Peng, as the person-in-charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, he had appeared in public on some occasions, but not many people knew him. It was just like how most people did not care about who the boss of the internet cafe chain was or what he looked like.
Thus, Xiao Peng and Pei Qian walked around Fish-Catching Internet Cafe like two ordinary customers.
Xiao Peng had a very expectant expression on his face because Boss Pei had not looked for him for a long time!
The last time Boss Pei guided Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's business should be when they opened the store in the super first-tier cities. However, that was not real guidance, but a hint by Boss Pei after a large number of advertisements in the super first-tier cities.
This kind of face-to-face detailed guidance could be traced back to the success of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0. However, Boss Pei only let Xiao Peng continue to open branches at that time without giving any substantive guidance or suggestions.
As everyone knew, there was nothing more precious than Boss Pei's personal guidance within Tengda.
That was because Boss Pei's deep insight into the business rules made his guidance very philosophical and foresight. As long as one analyzed carefully, one would be able to make a huge leap in the business that one was responsible for in a short period of time!
However, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe had not received any advice from Boss Pei for more than nine months. Although Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was developing very well and had good progress in the super first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, Xiao Peng always had a feeling of insecurity.
Today, Boss Pei finally thought of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and was going to give them guidance. How could they not be excited?
Pei Qian and Xiao Peng arrived at the second floor of the internet cafe.
"Do you know about Slow Movement Workspace?" Pei Qian asked.
Xiao Peng nodded. "I know. I heard that Slow Movement Workspace is developing a VR game? "
Pei Qian pointed at the computers on the second floor of the internet cafe. "Once Slow Movement Workspace's VR game is completed, the original gaming area on the second floor will be changed to a VR gaming area. All of them will be equipped with new VR headsets and controllers!"
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 1.0 had many branches. The specific structure was quite different because the shops were rented. Thus, the layout was not exactly the same.
However, overall, they were divided into gaming areas, bar counters, coffee areas, book areas, shopping malls, and small cinemas.
Smaller internet cafes might not have a small movie theater or a library area, while larger internet cafes would divide the gaming area into upper and lower floors.
Pei Qian wanted to change the entire gaming area on the second floor, which was half of all available computers, to VR equipment!
The reason was simple: VR took up more space.
