Ye Zhizhou said excitedly, "Before this, I was wondering if the gamers would be able to swallow so many simulators. I didn't expect Boss Pei to have already planned this. You want to swallow both the gamers and the driving school at the same time!"
"A unique game like Safe and Civilized Driving can be said to have completely connected the two game genres of racing games and driving simulation games. Through the simulator package, we have connected the software and hardware, which has greatly expanded the number of driving simulation game players who use the steering wheel.
"However, that alone is obviously not enough. The key is to create a link with other industries in reality!
"Hengyuan Driving School has already ordered a thousand simulators from us. Other driving schools across the country have also received news from somewhere. They either ordered online or contacted us directly to submit a large number of orders.
"Even if it's a small driving school, a simulator is nothing compared to the cost of purchasing a vehicle and maintaining the place. It can also effectively improve the impression the driving school leaves on the students, making the driving school look trendy and professional. That's why the simulator sells very well!"
"Although Hengyuan Driving School is currently the largest driving school chain in the country, it is impossible for them to buy all of our production capacity. After all, the domestic driving schools are based in various cities and are quite loose.
"Therefore, Otto Technologies has discussed with Boss Li and He Desheng. They will give priority to Hengyuan Driving School and give them some small discounts in the name of official cooperation. However, they will not prohibit other driving schools from buying safe and civilized driving simulators at the same time.
"In addition, the Star Bird Virtual Sports Experience Store has also eaten a large number of safe and civilized driving simulators. Otto Technologies has also directly supplied them so that players who don't have money or space at home can also experience it at the Star Bird Sports Experience Store in a similar way to internet cafes!
"It is indeed meaningless to be entangled in the players' territory. Only by breaking out of the circle is true success!"
Ye Zhizhou was very excited because he saw that safe and civilized driving simulators would have a smooth future!
The reason why he knew so clearly was that Shang Yang Games would continue to update Safe and Civilized Driving content in the future, including different driving test rules in each city and some adjustments to the driving school model. All of these had to be detailed in the game content in the future.
Hengyuan Driving School was the first driving school to purchase safe and civilized driving simulators on a large scale because of Boss Li's matchmaking.
However, no matter how hard Xu Hu tried to hide it, he could not hide it forever. When the other driving schools heard about this, they would naturally consider whether or not to purchase the Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator.
In fact, Hengyuan Driving School was not the only driving school to install simulators in their training ground. The other driving schools were also facing the same problem of 'too many people but too few cars'. Naturally, they would make the same decision.
Those driving schools that did not install simulators could not sit still.
Previously, the simulators that other driving schools had installed were just to fool people. If these driving schools didn't install simulators, they could explain to their students that those things wouldn't be of much use.
However, Tengda's simulator was different. It was really useful!
Moreover, the quality of this simulator was excellent, and it had attracted a lot of attention and popularity on the internet. At this time, telling his students that "the simulator is useless" was like saying that the grapes were sour because they couldn't eat the grapes that they couldn't eat.
Moreover, the simulator was of high quality and had attracted a lot of attention and popularity on the internet. If they told their students that the simulator was useless, they would feel like sour grapes.
There were so many students now that they could not recruit all of them. However, the competition between driving schools was becoming more and more intense. They were all racking their brains to find a way to be better than the other driving schools.
Some driving schools were making a lot of money. Naturally, some driving schools would be left out in the cold.
'We have a safe and civilized driving simulator' was a huge gimmick and advantage.
At least, they could not let it become a disadvantage, right?
Therefore, the driving schools that had not bought simulators before began to think about it. They could not fall behind the others.
Even if they could only buy three to five simulators because of the limited space?
They still had to have one!
Not to mention a large-scale driving school chain like Hengyuan Driving School. Apart from the training ground, there were also stores. Stores needed to put on a show. Setting up a safe and civilized driving simulator was the best way to put on a show!
Therefore, this undercurrent was growing and quickly sweeping across driving schools all over the country.
Those driving schools in third-tier cities or small counties might not be well-informed. They might be slower, but they would realize this problem sooner or later.
What a huge market it was!
According to the statistics of the relevant departments, the number of domestic driver training institutions had already exceeded 11000 last year, and it was very likely that the number would exceed 16000 in the next five years. Moreover, this was only the officially registered ones. There were also some affiliated driving schools, which were even more numerous.
Even so, the driving training industry could not fully satisfy the huge market demand. There were still many driving schools with a long queue.
Driving simulators that cost thousands to tens of thousands of yuan were expensive for ordinary people. The problem of space was not easy to solve. However, it was not a problem for driving schools.
It was nothing compared to the cost of buying a training car, fuel, and maintenance.
The space of the simulator was nothing compared to the space of the training ground.
Even if each driving school only bought two or three simulators to put on a show, it was already an immeasurably huge market.
Pei Qian listened on in a daze.
That worked?
There was an option for driving schools to buy simulators? And on a large scale?
He had miscalculated!
Pei Qian had learned to drive before in his memory. However, that world was very different from this one. He was in a small driving school. There was no need for simulators. In this world, he was chauffeured every time he went out. Why did he need to learn to drive?
That was why he did not think of this at all!
However, what was done could not be undone. There was no way to change it!
Pei Qian's face turned green. He looked at the forklifts moving the safe and civilized driving simulators up and down the shelves.
How was this forklift moving goods? It was clearly moving stacks and stacks of cash!
So the question was, why did he come all the way to the storeroom?
Pei Qian had wanted to take a look at the situation in the warehouse. If the inventory had already filled up the warehouse, he could naturally ask Ye Zhizhou to rent more warehouses and continue to stock up.
However, one look and he saw a big problem!
The warehouse was not full. The goods inside were still moving quickly. There were even signs that the supply could not meet the demand. He had to ask the OEM factory to continue to increase production!
She had come all the way here to watch the commotion, but all she saw was loneliness.
Ye Zhizhou said, "Boss Pei, apart from the driving school, I also have something to ask about the game.
"At the moment, a few domestic manufacturers have taken the initiative to license the data of their vehicles to us without charging any licensing fees. Some manufacturers who did not give up the licensing previously seem to have loosened their tone. They are no longer so rigid about the 'vehicle collision performance'. Perhaps we can get it by paying more.
"It just so happens that we are going to introduce more vehicle licensing in the future. This is the general trend of all racing games and driving simulation games. What do you think …"
Pei Qian was stunned. "Eh? They took the initiative to license to us? "
Ye Zhizhou nodded. "That's right. This is obviously because of the Pashat incident.
"Actually, the IIAS has the collision data, but it is not that influential. Apart from car enthusiasts and enthusiasts, ordinary people would not go to the IIAS official website to look at the collision data.
"The manufacturers who came to us have basically been in contact with the IIAS. They are more confident in the collision data of their cars. That is why they came to us.
"The two domestic electric scooter brands that are working with us have already reaped dividends. That is because there were only a few models to choose from when the game was first released. Among them, the cars with excellent collision results formed a sharp contrast with the Pashat model.
"After testing, everyone was full of praise for the excellent crash results of the domestically-produced cars. Objectively, it also brought them popularity and increased sales.
"What's more, as safe and civilized driving simulators continue to be promoted in driving schools, the group of gamers continues to expand. The advertising effect is obviously becoming more and more obvious.
"What's more, the game is not like reality. Many people can't afford a car that costs hundreds of thousands in real life, but they can always afford it in the game as long as they save up. Therefore, there are opportunities for gamers to test drive cars of all price ranges. This is actually a very good opportunity to export their brand.
"Of course, some automobile manufacturers are not interested in this. Perhaps it is because they are really not confident in the collision results, or perhaps they are not interested in our game.
"However, there are indeed many automobile manufacturers, especially the domestic alternative energy automobile manufacturers, who are more inclined to cooperate.
"After all, safe and civilized driving is a game that is special compared to other racing games. To a certain extent, it can slightly simulate the feel and safety of the car. It is equivalent to providing gamers with a free test drive. After the test drive, some gamers may become interested in a certain brand, which will then affect the sales in real life."
What Ye Zhizhou meant by special was that the driving feel and safety of different cars in Safe and Civilized driving were completely different from other games.
In other games, players would drive different cars. Although there would be a huge difference in driving, the difference wouldn't be that big.
For example, top-notch sports cars could go above 280km/h. There might be some differences in the feel and cornering, or some cars could go above 300km/h.
However, it would be difficult for it to affect reality because no one could drive that fast in real life.
