Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian had no idea about the game console, but after a trip to Chaolu game platform, he suddenly had this idea.

Even the game platform has been done. Isn’t it reasonable to be a host?

Relatively speaking, the chance of losing money when doing a host is much higher than doing products such as smart speakers, earphones, and TVs, right?

The host computer is considered a sinkhole in the world, and the number of manufacturers who can understand it will never exceed the number of one hand.

And it basically doesn't make money.

Therefore, Pei Qian thinks it is a good direction to engage in hosting.

But after seeing Lao Song's excited expression, Pei Qian felt that Lao Song's expression was not what he wanted, and the possibility of losing money was obviously not enough!

This reminded him of that classic scene.

Can the host lose money?

Yes, but Tenda may not.

Router, can you lose money?

Yes, but the product has to be made strange enough.

Can the host and the router lose money?

Dare to ask Big Brother what is sacred?

My dear, the chief designer of Tenda, Pei Qian!

As a host, Tenda has already accumulated a lot of deep accumulation. On the one hand, there are many excellent game products that can be moved to its own host. On the other hand, there is a Chaolu game platform. There are enough players and sufficient recognition of Tenda.

If any domestic company is qualified to be a game console, it must be Tenda.

The risk of making money is too great, and Pei Qian is a bit unbearable.

At this time, Pei Qian thought of that famous joke again, that is, he said that the host was a router joke.

Can a router lose money? To be honest, it's a bit difficult.

Although the router can be regarded as a product with technical barriers, you can dig a ready-made technical team and find a foundry!

Even if the products that are made are not particularly good, and they are a little cheaper, they will not be lost.

Therefore, if you want to rely on the router to lose money when the technology is not stretched to the extreme, you must make it strange enough.

Thinking about this, Pei Qian immediately found his way.

Combine the router and the game console into one! Make the same thing!

Isn't this weird enough?

Of course, Pei Qian had long expected that Lao Song would be confused and even suspicious, so he added a few more words.

"The products of Outu Technology have always been committed to solving the pain points of users!"

"For example, the fully automatic intelligent bar lifter is to solve the problem that the bar lifter is not smart enough."

"The smart fitness drying rack is to solve the problem that fitness equipment is not convenient to dry clothes."

"Now this router is to solve the problem that the game console is not easy to hide."

"A lot of people have forcibly referred to game consoles as routers. Tell me, isn't this self-deceiving? How is this kind of thing like a router?"

"You have to add some antennas anyway!"

"So, our product is to solve this pain point, so that men can put it in the living room generously, and then tell their daughter-in-law, it is a router! Although expensive, it must be a router with a very good signal! "

"It looks like a large router, in the shape of a boxy octopus. The antenna must be fully plugged in, and one cannot be missing."

"And even if it's on a polygraph, it's useless, because there is absolutely no falsehood that the man said, this is really a router!"

"It's just that it has a little extra accessory function, that is, you can play games."

"Besides, combining the host and router into one has other benefits."

"The direct connection between the host and the router can speed up the data transmission between the two and directly avoid network fluctuations that may occur after the host is connected to the wireless network."

"In addition, because its internal storage is large enough, it can also store some resources. It also has multiple functions such as a host, a router, and a TV box, providing consumers with a one-stop living room solution!"

"Of course, due to the strong signal of this game router, I think it can also integrate a game streaming function, whether it is a computer, mobile phone, console, TV or other devices such as VR glasses, it must be connected to This is on the game router. In this way, the game screen of the router can be projected on any display device very smoothly!"

"In the past, it was more troublesome to stream PC games to mobile phones or mobile games to TV, and it was unstable, and there was no mature solution."

"But with the game router, all this will be changed!"

"Open up a dedicated wireless network in the game router. After any display device is connected to this network, you can display the game screen of the host, and first realize the effect of cloud games in your own home. You can play wherever you go. "

"Do you think this router has a lot to do?"

Old Song blinked, with a shocked expression on his face.

Good guy, I feel Mr. Pei made a lot of sense!

How can people with normal brain circuits come up with such a miraculous product?

But if you think like this according to the ideas given by President Pei, let alone, it still makes sense.

What is the most important thing for game consoles? The first is obviously the excellent game content on it, and the second is its hardware configuration.

For Tenda, these two points are not lacking, or relatively not lacking.

Although it may not be able to compare with those big game console manufacturers abroad, in China, Tenda is definitely the most qualified to be a game console.

But is this just enough?

It doesn't seem to be.

As a product, it also has unique highlights and reasons for people to remember. If it's just a parody of foreign game consoles, why should players buy it? Why not buy a foreign host?

The blessing of domestic sentiment may be one reason, but if it is only for this reason, the supporting force is not enough.

Although Tenda has many games, they are basically cross-platform. It is impossible to remove the games on the official platform and make them exclusive to this host.

Even if it is an exclusive game for the console, it will have to wait for a new game later.

As for the hardware, there shouldn't be much advantage.

Because the host hardware is not very profitable, the strategy of all major foreign manufacturers is to sell the host as low as possible, and then use the game to make a profit.

The high price of the host is not conducive to popularization. First set a low price to make the host as popular as possible in the living rooms of thousands of households, slowly train players, and then use various excellent games to make money.

Moreover, large foreign mainframe manufacturers have a large output and do not worry about selling, so they have relatively strong bargaining power on the supplier's side and can negotiate prices.

To sum up, even if Tenda can subsidize its own host, but in terms of price, compared with those foreign hosts, I am afraid that there will be no advantage in hardware configuration and price.

For players, even if you buy something like a host, you probably only buy one. There are still a few core players like that on all platforms.

Most players buy game consoles for Tuyile. If you buy one, you may not be able to play it. Why would you buy a second one?

This is also an important reason why the field of game consoles is not easy to enter: emerging manufacturers are simply unable to compete with those major foreign console game manufacturers.

Although Tenda seems to have everything in place and only owes it to the wind, in fact, in terms of quality and quantity, there is still a big gap with foreign major console game manufacturers.

If you want to succeed in this situation, you have to think of other ways.

As for the idea proposed by President Pei, at least there are hot spots and recognition. Once it is released, it will naturally attract the attention of players.

After the game console and the router are combined into one, it can achieve some new functions, such as fast, convenient and stable streaming of the game screen to all the display devices connected to the wireless network in the room. This is other games. Advantages that the host does not have!

Of course, it takes arduous efforts to achieve this ideal state of the product.

But at least Mr. Pei has pointed out a broad road for this product!

Lao Song recalled the several projects he had done before, like wireless headphones, smart speakers, TVs... he felt like a mediocrity!

As a product manager, what is the most important quality?

Imagination!

Obviously claiming to be an excellent product manager, but so unimaginative, this is really shameful!

Look at Mr. Pei again, this is the ideal form of an excellent product manager!

Thinking of this, Lao Song said firmly: "Good President Pei, I will definitely redouble my efforts to develop this game router!"

Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction, then stood up: "Okay, the work here is almost arranged, I should go back."

There is no need to worry about Outu Technology in the short term.

Lao Song sent Mr. Pei out of the house, and then went back to carefully ponder these two plans.

Just as Pei Qian got into the car, his cell phone rang again.

"Huh? Why are so many people looking for me today?"

"That's right, it's Friday, and I guess there are some remaining issues to ask for advice."

"Old wet Qiao called? If I remember correctly... he should be in charge of the rabbit tail live broadcast right now?"

Pei Qian answered the phone: "Old Joe, what's the matter?"

Qiao Liang's voice was a little nervous and anxious over the phone: "President Pei, I found that Langya live broadcast and Waiwai live broadcast are secretly poking our anchor!"

"Although there is no digging with fanfare, the action is obviously bigger than before, and the conditions given are more attractive. Some of our anchors have already jumped away!"

Pei Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Ok? Was Wai Wai Live and Langya Live started?

sure!

But... why is it still "hidden"?

Let go of your hands and feet and dig boldly! I won't stop you, really.

Pei Qian is not sure if there is an anti-Tengda Alliance's instruction behind this. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com may be an anti-Tengda Alliance's digging, but since he dare not blatantly dig people and tear his face, it means that The two live broadcast platforms are still in a state of sway and hesitation.

In that case, help them!

Pei Qian said: "Let them dig it, it doesn't matter."

Qiao Liang was taken aback for a moment: "No reaction? At least we should expose their shameless behavior?"

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "It's not necessary."

"The anchors are free. Go wherever you want. We can't claim that we are a free platform while trying to tie up the anchors?"

"If the conditions for the other two platforms are really attractive and the anchors are poached away, it means that we are not doing well in some areas."

"You still need to be hard by yourself!"

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Liang was silent for a while, and said: "Well, I understand, Mr. Pei."
