The initial cost budget of the VR game helmet is 2,000 yuan. Although the cost is cheap, how could the black-hearted Shi Lei make the official price also cheaper?
Don't you see how much profit the crazy apple company has made!
Take Apple's iphone4s smartphone as an example. After its first release, the price in Xiaguo area is as high as more than 5,000 yuan. How much is its real cost?
According to the dismantling by a third-party organization in Britain, its cost price, equivalent to Xia Guoyuan, is only about 1150 yuan! And the price in Britain is almost 5,000 yuan in the equivalent of Xia Guoyuan.
Facts have proved that it is precisely because of these huge profits that Apple has soared into the sky and successfully climbed to the top of the world's top 500 companies. Without the existence of these huge profits, why would Apple be in the top position? And why get huge profits?
Products that should get huge profits must be huge profits, otherwise it will be a waste!
Compared with the cost of the lip lens-type information processor, the VR gaming helmet is indeed much cheaper, but the cheaper cost does not mean that the price is reduced.
The reduction of cost price means more huge profits!
As long as the production capacity of the underground base in Lin'an can keep up, Shi Lei is absolutely sure to guarantee the sales of VR game helmets. Because the VR game helmet can most intuitively improve the sense of the game, and truly let players feel that the VR game helmet brings a more realistic gaming experience.
Dong Guoguo considered the production line of the Lin'an underground base and related supporting equipment, and finally said unsurely: "Boss, since we have not actually produced VR game helmets, it is just a design concept. After my estimation, According to the situation of the underground base in Lin'an, our monthly production capacity can reach about 300,000 units."
"300,000 units?" Shi Lei was slightly dissatisfied. The production line of the Lin'an underground base has been upgraded automatically. Originally, the production line of the underground base in Lin'an was completely manual production, and the problem of labor was solved by hiring relevant personnel from the Rongcheng Military Region.
Now it is upgrading and transforming the automated production line, borrowing Izuer's super artificial logic. Write automatic industrial control programs, use robotic arms for processing, and only retain a small amount of manual labor.
If there is no Izuer's participation, it is just an underground base in Lin'an, how can the monthly production capacity reach 300,000 VR game helmets?
"Well, the preliminary estimate is this." Dong Guoguo didn't say anything. "Boss, another reason for limiting our production capacity is that we need to outsource supporting components. For example, helmets and helmet-related buffer layer materials, lithium batteries, etc., these equipments need to be purchased by us."
Shi Lei sighed, "Old Dong, make the prototype of the VR game helmet first. I need the actual sample, and then decide what to do next!"
"En! No problem! Boss, this matter will only take three days at most!" Dong Guoguo said with confidence that the research and development of a lip lens-type information processor is ahead, and it is not easy to design and manufacture a VR gaming helmet. ?
"By the way, Lao Dong. The design plan of the VR game helmet must reduce the weight of the helmet as much as possible, and ensure the wearing comfort of the helmet. You can refer to the motorcycle helmet plan. However, this kind of fully enclosed helmet must be Pay attention to the problem of internal temperature and try to design a temperature adjustment device. It is convenient for players to adjust the temperature." Shi Lei stated an important design requirement.
In later generations, the biggest drawback of a large number of VR virtual reality series products is the problem of user comfort. Including the Sony hmz series of head-mounted displays, albeit very powerful. However, the problem of wearing comfort has never been solved.
Taking motorcycle helmets as a prototype solution, although the problem of wearing comfort can be solved, the most important problem is temperature. If you wear a sealed helmet, it's like taking a sauna, even if the display effect is good, the player will not last long!
"Well, I understand!" Dong Guoguo responded.
"Old Dong, whether it's a lip lens-type information processor or a VR gaming helmet, you have to manufacture it. After you have finished the processing, I will come and test it myself." Shi Lei must participate in the testing of these two products. , these two products are related to huge interests, and they are interests that can be realized in a short period of time, and Shi Lei should not be handled carelessly.
"Okay, we will develop a prototype product in three days at the latest!" Dong Guoguo promised.
Shi Lei hung up the phone with satisfaction, Tao Wenxian watched Shi Lei hang up, and shouted, "Brother Shi, come and eat, I'm almost finished!"
The barbecue and braised vegetables on the coffee table were indeed much less. Tao Wenxian, a foodie, even drank two more bottles of beer, but he was not at all drunk.
"Jazz, you eat first, I have something to deal with!" Shi Lei was not busy eating, but continued to use his mobile phone, flipped through the address book, and found the phone number of Dirk Mayer, the president of amd.
After amd was acquired by Mirui Technology Group, it was restructured. Dirk Mayer is still the executive president of amd, holding 3% of the shares of amd.
After waiting for a while, the call was connected, and Dirk Mayer said enthusiastically: "My friend, good noon!"
"My friend, it's midnight here!" Shi Lei said coldly, "Old Dirk, I have one thing and need your help!"
"Oh, my friend, please call me young Dirk!" Dirk Mayer was also joking. According to the age gap between Dirk Mayer and Shi Lei, Shi Lei called him old Dirk. Suitable.
"Old Dirk, how is the progress of the personal game server you developed?" Shi Lei ignored Dirk's request and asked directly.
Hearing Shi Lei talking about work, Dirk Mayer immediately became serious, "As for the issue of personal game servers, we have already made preparations. The performance of the second-generation personal game server we developed completely surpassed the first. The power consumption of the first-generation game server has also been reduced a lot, and the cost and price have also been reduced a lot! At that time, we can reduce the price and attract players to buy the second-generation personal game server!”
The price of the first generation of personal game servers is not cheap. Three grades of personal game servers cost $1,999 for the lowest grade and an exaggerated $17,999 for the highest grade.
This high price has made intel a lot of money!
Shi Lei didn't plan to lower the price of personal game servers at all. Intel made a lot of money with the first generation of personal game servers. How could Shi Lei lower the price of personal game servers?
It is precisely because intel made a lot of money with personal game servers that Shi Lei eagerly acquired amd and prepared to make this money himself!
If there is no dream entertainment company to intervene, amd company likes to compete with intel company and nvidia company by way of price promotion. In this way, although it hit the rival company, it hurt its own customers more.
Think about it, the graphics card produced by AMD was originally priced at 4,000 yuan, but because it wanted to compete with nvidia's products, the price was suddenly reduced by 2,000 yuan. Although this kind of behavior can indeed suppress nvidia, what kind of irony is that for customers who purchased AMD's products for 4,000 yuan before?
"Old Dirk, in terms of performance of the second-generation personal game server, I hope it exceeds the first-generation personal game server by more than 50%! I believe that AMD has such strength, right?" A demanding requirement.
Dirk Mayer thought about it for a while, and then responded affirmatively: "No problem!"
"Old Dirk, I have another question. Is there any way for us at AMD to overcome the delay problem of wireless display technology?" Shi Lei asked.
There is also a difficult problem for the VR game helmet, that is how to connect with the personal game server?
If you use the VR game helmet to log in directly to the world of the brave, with the poor computing performance of the VR game helmet, I am afraid that the game screen and game performance will be terrible.
Only by connecting the VR game helmet to the personal game server, can you get satisfactory game images and game performance. However, wireless display technology is very tricky, and the delay problem is not easy to solve.
Dirk. Mayer gave a negative answer, "amd has no relevant solutions, but for wireless display technology solutions, we can get a good solution by cooperating with other manufacturers."
Currently, there are two main solutions for wireless display technology.
One of the solutions is to transmit video data. The solution of this solution is very crude. The video stream data is compressed directly at the video sending end, and the data is transmitted through wifi or uwb technology, and then the data is decompressed at the receiving end to restore the video. Streaming images.
This solution is the current mainstream solution, with low cost and basically no technical difficulties. However, this technology has very obvious shortcomings, because the work flow of compressing, transmitting, decompressing and restoring images is required, and these tasks inevitably take time. Therefore, the delay of this wireless display technology cannot be effectively solved at all.
Another solution is to transmit the video stream directly. Just like a wired connection, the video stream is directly transmitted through the wireless channel without compression and decompression, which fundamentally solves the problem of video delay.
However, the difficulty of using this technology is very high, and the bandwidth occupied by the video stream is very large. At present, the only success is the whdi technology.
"Do you cooperate with other manufacturers?" Shi Lei thought about it.
