Jiang Yuan could not help but sigh after roughly finalizing the plans for the various packages. "It's really expensive."
Tengda had made some more expensive equipment before, such as the Fully-Automated Bickering Bar and the smart fitness drying rack.
However, the price was far worse than this simulation equipment.
This was the result of Boss Pei's usual style of lowering the price as much as possible.
What's more, even if they bought this set of equipment, it would not be over. Players would also need a high-end computer, a three-screen monitor, or an extremely long ring screen, fish screen, or a pair of VR glasses.
If they wanted three 2K monitors with narrow borders, they would not be able to buy them without seven to eight thousand yuan.
Based on this calculation, a set of equipment from zero would probably cost more than thirty thousand yuan.
Wang Xiaobin explained, "There's nothing we can do about it being expensive. This is the reasonable price of this set of equipment."
"We actually don't have much profit to make at this price. Only Tengda can earn money from games. It's impossible for other manufacturers to reach this price."
"If you want to obtain a good experience, you can't be careless with the steering wheel, the direct drive base, and the foot pedal."
"It's actually very simple to reduce the price. We can reduce the price to more than a thousand yuan by making the steering wheel a gear drive and changing the disc body to plastic. The foot pedal should be made of plastic and springs. Five hundred yuan should be about the same. However, that way, the game experience would definitely be greatly reduced. "
"The simulator takes up quite a lot of space. Since we're buying it, we have to pursue the best gaming experience."
"Of course, if players find it expensive, they can also buy the steering wheel that costs two to three thousand yuan on the market. Then, they can only spend a hundred yuan to buy a special console from us. They can also play 'Safe and Civilized Driving' normally."
"However, if we want to make peripherals, we have to do the best. We can't make a cheap version of it. That would affect Tengda's reputation. What's more, those who know the ropes will understand that our plan is already very cheap. Compared to foreign plans, the price is at least halved. "
"What's more, this set of equipment will be perfectly compatible with our game. We can also provide door-to-door installation services like the smart fitness drying rack. All in all, it's already very worth it. "
Chang You nodded. "Understood."
"That's the general plan for now. I've already memorized some of the key points. Next, I'm going to look for professionals in this field and the corresponding manufacturers to see if there's anything that needs to be improved on. "
"If there is any progress, I will contact you immediately. Let's keep in touch."
Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin nodded. "Of course."
Shang Yang Games often cooperated with Otto Technologies. The previous Fitness Battle and smart fitness drying rack were produced after close communication. They were already very familiar with this aspect.
Wang Xiaobin's proposal was rather rushed, so there would definitely be some inadequacies. Chang You needed to consult some professionals and repeatedly consider the final state of this set of equipment before he could completely finalize it.
…
At the same time, Tengda Games was already developing Eternal Fallen Samsara.
After two months of accumulation, the details of Eternal Fallen Samsara's design were very clear. Everyone knew what they needed to do, so they got into the zone very quickly.
Since it was a downloadable content, most of the game resources were reused from the original scenes in the game. There was no need for additional production. In this way, the development time was greatly reduced.
According to Hu Xianbin's estimation, the new mechanism that Boss Pei requested should be completed in a month. It could be officially released in two months.
As for what Tengda Games was going to do after the downloadable content of Eternal Fallen Samsara was released?
He was not sure about that. In any case, he would ask Boss Pei when the time came.
On the other hand, Min Jingchao was still carrying out GOG's daily development and maintenance work as usual.
Hu Xianbin put down his work for the time being and walked to Min Jingchao's desk. He pulled a chair and sat down. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "The Outstanding Employee Selection this time is scheduled for Friday, which is tomorrow. Do you know that?"
Min Jingchao nodded in confusion. "I know."
Hu Xianbin said, "Then, don't you have any thoughts?"
Min Jingchao was even more confused. He thought for a moment and said, "I … should have any thoughts?"
Hu Xianbin sighed softly. "Is there a need to say that? We're both high-risk groups for best employee! "
Min Jingchao came to a realization.
Oh, so that's what he meant!
His expression turned serious. "That's right! I didn't think about this before. Now that you mention it, the problem is indeed very serious! "
Outstanding employees might be an honor and a reward, but many people in Tengda, especially the person-in-charge, did not really want this reward.
For example, Zhang Yuan, who was previously in charge of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and ROF Computer-Installation, and Chang You, who was in charge of Otto Technologies.
That was because their current industry was their favorite industry. However, they had to take the Dream Fund to another industry after obtaining the Best Employee Award. They had no choice but to leave.
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to give up on his favorite ROF Computer-Installation and give Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to Xiao Peng. Then, he would be in charge of DGE E-Sports Club and Tengda's E-Sports Department.
Chang You, on the other hand, was much more cunning. He took advantage of the loophole and actually stayed in Otto Technologies.
However, the problem was that Boss Pei had already said last time that he would not take advantage of the loophole again. Those who obtained the Outstanding Employee Award in the future could not do so.
Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao were obviously high-risk groups for obtaining the Outstanding Employee Award.
Hu Xianbin had already been the chief designer of the core Tengda Games department for a long time. Mission and Choice had also been a huge success. He was the first to bear the brunt since Huang Sibo had already won the Outstanding Employee Award once.
On the other hand, Min Jingchao had always been the person-in-charge of GOG. GOG's development had been smooth during this period while IOI's was deteriorating. This credit could not be ignored.
However, both of them were obviously very satisfied with their current jobs. They did not want to use the Dream Fund to 'explore'.
Min Jingchao pondered for a moment and said, "But, there's no other way."
"This is the company's rule. We can't make Boss Pei change his mind."
"Chang You had already taken advantage of a loophole before. Boss Pei has already blocked this loophole."
"Unless … we can find a new way to take advantage of the loophole."
Hu Xianbin lowered his voice. "I didn't think of a loophole. However, I thought of another way. It has a certain degree of feasibility and is more reliable than finding loopholes in the rules. "
Min Jingchao's eyes lit up. "Oh? Tell me, what is it? "
Hu Xianbin put on an unfathomable expression. "Find … a scapegoat."
Min Jingchao, "Hmm?"
Hu Xianbin looked around, afraid of being discovered. "It's actually very simple. We just have to think of a way for someone to get first place as an outstanding employee. Isn't that enough?
"Think about it. Who had the best chance of getting second place as an outstanding employee?"
Min Jingchao suddenly realized. "Brother Bao!"
Hu Xianbin smiled and nodded. "That's right."
According to contribution, Hu Xianbin, Min Jingchao, and Bao Xu all had a chance to compete for the outstanding employee.
Wouldn't Hu Xianbin and Min Jingchao be safe as long as they pushed Bao Xu to first place?
Whether they got second place to go on a vacation or third place, they would not have to leave the gaming department. How good would that be?
Hu Xianbin continued. "What's more, it's a win-win situation!
"The two of us don't want to leave the gaming department, and Brother Bao doesn't want to go on a vacation. Let's do it this way. Brother Bao gets the Dream Fund, and one of us goes on a vacation. Isn't that perfect? "
Min Jingchao remained silent for a moment and said, "It's not perfect. It's best if we don't get the outstanding employee award and Brother Bao goes on a vacation. That would be perfect.
"If Brother Bao doesn't go on a vacation, the outstanding employee selection will be soulless!"
Hu Xianbin nodded. "Alright, I actually think so too."
"If Brother Bao doesn't go on a vacation, I feel like something's missing."
"If there were other suitable candidates, I wouldn't have considered Brother Bao."
"However, the problem is that there are no suitable candidates now. If Brother Bao doesn't get first place, one of us will definitely have to leave the gaming department."
Min Jingchao agreed. "Um … Alright, it seems like we can only push Brother Bao out to protect ourselves."
"Then … How should we do it?"
Hu Xianbin said, "That's very simple."
"Brother Bao has made great contributions at the snack market this time. Zhang Yahui even praised him during the TV interview. There will definitely be many people who will vote for him and hope that he will go on a vacation."
"However, everyone will definitely work hard to keep his votes in second place."
"We'll get someone to inform them in advance and tell them not to vote first."
"When Brother Bao is basically in second place and there's a small gap between him and you or me in first place, we'll throw all the votes we arranged in advance at Brother Bao!"
"The gap isn't big to begin with. Perhaps we only need a few dozen votes to turn the tables and push Brother Bao to first place."
Min Jingchao nodded. "Sure, your idea seems feasible!"
"The only problem is … it's a little difficult to convince so many people to give up watching the traditional drama of 'Brother Bao Travels'."
Hu Xianbin said, "Yes, that's the only difficulty with this plan. However, with our friendship with the other department heads, we should be able to get some support if we play the sympathy card and say how tired Brother Bao is now and how he doesn't want to travel anymore. "
"It might not work. It would be awkward if the difference in votes is too big and we can't catch up."
"But overall, it's worth a try."
Min Jingchao pondered for a moment and nodded. "Indeed, it's worth a try!"
"There's nothing we can do if we fail, but what if we succeed?"
"Let's split up and try our best to convince more people to vote for Brother Bao!"
