"Are you still suffering from the driving test?"
"Are you still afraid of being scolded by the coach?"
"Are you still worried that you have to wait in line to practice driving for a long time and that you can't master better driving skills?"
"Are you still worried that you will have to lose money if you accidentally crash the coach car?"
"Otto Technologies' new product, the safe and civilized driving simulator, will solve all your problems!"
Chang You's image appeared again after the promotional video was played.
Chang You explained, "After the smart fitness drying rack news conference last time, everyone left messages for us. They said that even though they wanted to see us perform, we still have to bring out something really useful."
"That's why we learned from our mistakes and brought you our new smart product: Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator Set!"
"This safe and civilized driving simulator uses the highest-end direct-drive motor steering wheel. The all-metal pedal fully simulates the feeling of real feet. It has extremely rich functions!"
Chang You began to introduce every part of this set.
Direct-drive steering wheel, bracket, seat, hydraulic handbrake, pedal, console, G-force seat, and so on.
He also gave a detailed explanation of the differences between the three sets.
"The safe and civilized driving simulator set allows you to master driving skills without leaving your house! Whether it's someone who has never touched a car, someone who is working hard to obtain a driver's license, someone who has just obtained a driver's license but does not dare to go on the road, or someone who has been driving for many years but still wants to improve his driving skills, it's your best choice! "
"Next, we will work hard to cooperate with various driving schools and strive to fill all driving schools in the country with safe and civilized driving simulators. We will completely eradicate the problem of everyone learning to drive!"
Even though the audience below was still applauding and supporting them, it was obvious that everyone was not very enthusiastic when this product was released.
There were even more people who were not interested, especially after they heard Chang You say that this simulator set also treated driving schools as an important target customer group.
Before the news conference was over, people were already whispering to each other.
"Today's news conference wasn't very good. The first half was quite interesting, especially when Boss Chang appeared on the island. However, I didn't feel anything in the second half."
"That's right. In terms of performance alone, the smart fitness drying rack has already reached its peak. It's indeed very difficult to surpass it. What's more, the product this time is a little too serious. It doesn't feel like a smart fitness drying rack. "
"What if we look at this product in a normal manner?"
"The previous promotional video is quite interesting. I didn't expect it to be so difficult for many people to get a driver's license."
"But no matter what, a simulator is still very different from a real car. Can this thing really help with driving? It would be unfair of me to say that there is none, but I feel that there is none. "
"I don't think it's feasible to consider it from the perspective of a normal commodity. The price is too expensive, and it takes up such a large area. Ordinary people shouldn't be able to afford it."
"Those who like to play with driving simulators will definitely sell it. The direct-drive steering wheels overseas are at least 40% more expensive than this. Some big brands even double the price. Otto Technologies has Tengda Ecology. This steering wheel will definitely sell like hotcakes."
"But the problem is that this package plan doesn't work. What's the use of the console inside? Now, most simulation driving games can be done with the buttons on the disk. It's useless to spend money on this console. "
"It feels a little mediocre. It's enough to buy a force feedback steering wheel from a large factory for two to three thousand yuan, and it's also suitable for the games on the console. If you're really a fanatic, you would definitely have your own direct-drive steering wheel. You can't possibly sell it and buy this, right? It's only attractive to new driving simulator players, but this group is too small. "
"Indeed, there are so many racing games that use controllers and keyboards. There are very few who use steering wheels, what's more, such a complete set of equipment."
"Isn't there a driving school?"
"Then it's even more impossible to count on it! There are indeed some driving schools that have simulators, but a driving school can only buy a few at most, right? What's more, the driving school's simulators are all bullsh * t. The display is so small, and the operation is very different from the real car. "
"To put it bluntly, the driving school's simulators are purely because there are too many students, and they can't practice the real car at all. Many students have to queue for too long to practice driving, so the driving school came up with this idea. They let new students practice the simulators first. On the surface, it's to make it easier for them to get used to the real car, but in reality, it's a helpless move after a compromise. It's to disperse the traffic so that you can have something to do even if you don't get to learn driving after signing up."
"They can definitely sell part of it to the driving school, as long as the simulator is better than the other simulators on the market."
"That's not necessarily true. The other simulators on the market might not be of good quality, but they're cheap! Your direct-drive steering wheel plan is much more extravagant. If the driving school just wants to give students something to do, why would they spend so much money on it? Ordinary small driving schools would definitely be reluctant. Only big driving schools would do this if they don't lack money. "
Not only were the audience discussing, but the audience in the live-stream were also discussing.
The result of everyone's discussion was almost the same. Apart from a few players who had been paying attention to the driving simulator field and had a strong need for it, most ordinary players felt that this thing had nothing to do with them.
Most people felt that this thing could indeed be sold, but the main audience was simulator players and driving schools. It had little to do with ordinary players, and the sales volume would not be high.
Of course, some people also mentioned that Tengda might use its traditional skills to create a new game for this set of equipment.
After all, the success of the smart fitness drying rack was due to 'Fitness Battle'.
However, could a racing game really make a steering wheel that cost close to ten thousand yuan popular?
No one could guarantee it. After all, there had never been such a precedent before.
Many national racing games were popular enough, right? However, that was only the popularity of the game. The impact of the external equipment was not obvious at all. Many people would still use the keyboard and controller to play with it. They would not specially buy a steering wheel that took up space.
Thus, even though the news conference attracted a lot of attention, it did not have a very warm response in the end. Instead, everyone was more concerned about how Chang You was suffering on the uninhabited island.
Even the technology media that came to the scene focused on the matter of 'Chang You suffering while holding a news conference remotely' when writing articles and making video plans. They did not focus too much on the specific products released at the news conference.
…
…
January 10th, Thursday …
Pei Qian ate breakfast at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe while scrolling through his cell phone to see if there was any news recently.
"Eh? Otto Technologies' new product conference started yesterday? "
"Chang You is holding a news conference remotely?"
"The response of the peripherals seems to be average?"
"Alright!"
Pei Qian was overjoyed.
He had been worrying about next month's settlement for the past two days. He did not pay much attention to the two games departments and Otto Technologies.
That was because GOG's revenue was rising again after the world competition. The success of the real estate agent simulator and roller coaster had given Tengda more ways to earn money. That made Pei Qian feel pressured.
Fortunately, Pei Qian had learned his lesson. He had at least three or four different ways to spend money in this cycle.
However, he still had to think carefully about how to use these methods.
"I watched every news conference of Otto Technologies before. In the end, it became popular. I happened to miss it this time, and the response was average."
"Could it be … that it's really my problem? Something will happen just by looking at it? "
"You can see the big picture on the spot, the small picture on the live-stream, and nothing will happen if you don't watch?"
"No, no, no. How is that possible? Metaphysical thinking is not acceptable."
Pei Qian quickly dispelled that thought and carefully looked at the netizens' comments on Otto Technologies' new products.
Some gamers who were passionate about playing simulators were indeed overjoyed. After all, the direct-drive steering wheel at this price was too fragrant. The prices of the other accessories were also greatly reduced compared to foreign brands. Otto Technologies was backed by Tengda. The quality control, after-sales, and supporting software would not be bad. The news conference had just started and the product had not been officially released, but it had already become the most fragrant product in the field of steering wheels.
However, the problem was that this group of gamers was still relatively small in the entire group.
Otto Technologies must have followed Boss Pei's instructions: stock up as much as possible!
The more they stocked up, the slower they would sell. Wouldn't that take up a huge sum of money?
Pei Qian was very happy. It looked like there was good news after all.
He scrolled through Aili Island's website and saw the exclusive publicity page for Executor Academy in the drama section.
Fei Huang Workspace had already negotiated with Aili Island's website. Unlike Successor, the split this time was mainly based on the number of views and the length of the broadcast.
Although Successor's reputation was quite bad, Fei Huang Workspace and Aili Island's website had been working together for a long time. What's more, Executor Academy could freeload on GOG. Naturally, it had quite a lot of attention. Thus, Aili Island's website still gave it a good split.
However, the premise was that the animation had a good reputation, and the number of views and broadcast time had to be very long. Obviously, that was not possible.
The first episode of Executor Academy would be broadcast tomorrow night. As for the next episode … who knew when it would be?
After all, given the efficiency of Fei Huang Workspace's animation team and the word count of the original Executor Academy, it was definitely a series that would last a lifetime.
Pei Qian could even imagine the bullet screen comments after the first episode was released. It would definitely be filled with 'short and weak' comments!
