Chapter 1427 What a Huge Market This Is! (10,000 Words, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Ye Zhizhou said excitedly, "I was wondering before if players could really consume so many simulators. I didn't expect CEO Pei to have planned it all out. This is to target both players and driving schools at the same time!"

"’Safe and Civilized Driving’ is a unique game that completely connects racing games and driving simulation games. It also connects software and hardware through the simulator package, greatly expanding the player base for driving simulation games using steering wheels."

"But that's clearly not enough. The key is the linkage with other industries in reality!"

"Hengyuan Driving School has already ordered a thousand simulators from us. Other driving schools across the country have also gotten wind of it from somewhere, either ordering online or contacting us directly, submitting a large number of orders."

"Even for small driving schools, compared to the cost of purchasing vehicles and vehicle and site maintenance, a simulator is nothing. It can also effectively improve the impression that driving schools leave on students, making the driving school seem trendy and professional. So the simulators are selling very well!"

"Although Hengyuan Driving School is currently the largest chain driving school in China, they can't possibly consume all of our production capacity. After all, the distribution of driving schools in China is based on various cities, which is quite loose."

"So, Otu Technology discussed with CEO Li and He Desheng and decided to give priority to Hengyuan Driving School and offer some small discounts in the name of official cooperation. But at the same time, they will not prohibit other driving schools from purchasing the Safe and Civilized Driving simulator."

"In addition, Xingniao Virtual Sports Experience Stores have also taken a large number of Safe and Civilized Driving simulators. Otu Technology also directly supplies them, so that players who don't have money or space at home can experience it at Xingniao Sports in a way similar to going to an internet cafe!"

"It's really meaningless to be entangled in the players' small circle. Only breaking the circle is true success!"

Ye Zhizhou was very excited because he saw that the future sales of the Safe and Civilized Driving simulator were simply smooth sailing!

The reason why he knew so clearly was that Shang Yang Games would continue to update the content of "Safe and Civilized Driving," including the different driving test rules in various provinces and cities, as well as some adjustments for the driving school mode, which would be refined in subsequent game content.

Hengyuan Driving School was the first driving school to purchase Safe and Civilized Driving simulators on a large scale because of CEO Li's connection.

But no matter how much Xu Hu tried to hide it, he couldn't hide it in the end. After learning about this, other driving schools would naturally consider whether to purchase the Safe and Civilized Driving simulator.

In fact, Hengyuan Driving School is not the only driving school that has deployed simulators in its training grounds. Other driving schools also face the same problem of "too many people and too few cars" as Hengyuan Driving School, so they will naturally make the same decision.

And those driving schools that have not deployed simulators can't sit still.

Because before, the simulators deployed by other driving schools were all fooling people. These driving schools didn't deploy simulators and could explain to their students that the things didn't do much.

But the simulator produced by Tengda is different. It's really useful!

Moreover, this simulator is of high quality and has aroused widespread attention and extremely high popularity on the internet. At this time, telling your own students that "simulators are not very useful" gives people a feeling of sour grapes.

This has quickly become a trend. If you can't keep up, wouldn't you be telling students that your driving school is outdated?

Now, there are indeed many students, and you can't even recruit enough students, but the competition between driving schools is becoming increasingly fierce, and they are all racking their brains to find points that are superior to other driving schools.

If some driving schools are making a lot of money, there will naturally be driving schools that are neglected.

And "we have a Safe and Civilized Driving simulator" is a big gimmick and advantage.

At least it can't be allowed to become a disadvantage, right?

Therefore, those driving schools that had not bought simulators before also began to think about it, feeling that they could not fall behind.

Even if the site is limited, can only buy three or five to fill the facade?

They still have to have it!

Not to mention large chain driving schools like Hengyuan Driving School. In addition to training grounds, there are also stores. Stores are the most in need of some face-saving projects, and placing a Safe and Civilized Driving simulator is the best face-saving project!

Therefore, this undercurrent is growing secretly and rapidly sweeping the country's driving schools.

Those driving schools in third-tier cities or small counties may not be well-informed and will be a little slower, but they will realize this problem sooner or later.

What a huge market this is!

According to statistics from relevant departments, the number of driver training institutions in China had already exceeded 11,000 last year, and it is very likely to exceed 16,000 in the next five years. Moreover, this only counts those that are formally registered. There are even more small driving schools that are attached to them.

But even so, the driver training industry can hardly fully meet the current huge market demand, and there are still many driving schools with serious queuing phenomena.

A few thousand or tens of thousands of driving simulators are relatively expensive for ordinary people, and the problem of land occupation is not easy to solve, but what is this problem for driving schools?

What is this money compared to the purchase cost, fuel cost, and maintenance cost of training vehicles?

What is the land occupation of simulators compared to the land occupation of training grounds?

Even if each of these driving schools only buys two or three to fill the facade, it is already an immeasurable huge market.

Pei Qian was stunned.

It works like this too?

There is even the option for driving schools to buy this? And it's a large-scale purchase?

Miscalculated!

Pei Qian learned to drive in his memory, but that world is very different from this world. He was also in a small driving school, and there was no need for such things as simulators at all. As for this world, he has a driver to pick him up wherever he goes. Why would he learn to drive himself?

This led to the fact that he didn't even think of this!

But what's done is done, and it can't be changed!

Pei Qian's face turned a little green as he watched the forklifts busy moving the Safe and Civilized Driving simulators from the shelves.

These forklifts are not moving goods, they are clearly moving stacks of banknotes!

So the question is, what did I come to the warehouse for from so far away?

Pei Qian originally wanted to see the situation in the warehouse. If these stocks had already filled the warehouse, then he could naturally ask Ye Zhizhou to continue renting more warehouses and continue to stock up.

However, this look was not good, and he saw a big problem!

The warehouse is not full, and the goods inside are still flowing rapidly, and there are even signs of being in short supply, and the OEM factory has to continue to increase production capacity!

What's the matter, I came all the way here and saw nothing.

Ye Zhizhou said again, "CEO Pei, in addition to the driving school's affairs, there is also something on the game side that needs to be consulted."

"Currently, several domestic manufacturers have taken the initiative to authorize vehicle data to us without charging any authorization fees. Some manufacturers who didn't release authorization at all before seem to have loosened their tone, and they are no longer so strict on the 'vehicle collision performance' item. Maybe we can win it over if we add some money."

"It just so happens that we will also introduce more vehicle authorizations in the future. This is the general trend of all racing games and driving simulation games. What do you think..."

Pei Qian was stunned: "Huh? Actively authorize us?"

Ye Zhizhou nodded: "That's right, this is obviously due to the impact of the previous Passat incident."

"In fact, the IIHS has all these collision data, but the influence is not so great after all. Except for car enthusiasts and enthusiasts, ordinary people will not go to the IIHS official website to look at the collision data if they have nothing to do."

"The manufacturers who came to us are basically the ones who have been to the IIHS and are more confident in their car's collision data, so they came to us."

"The two domestic electric vehicle brands that we cooperated with have already tasted the benefits, because there are only a few models to choose from when the game first launched, and the cars with excellent collision scores formed a sharp contrast with models such as Passat."

"After everyone tested it, they praised the domestic models with excellent collision test scores, which objectively brought them popularity and increased sales."

"Moreover, with the continuous promotion of Safe and Civilized Driving simulators in major driving schools, the game player base is also constantly expanding, and this advertising effect is obviously becoming more and more obvious."

"What's more, the game is not like reality. In reality, many people can't afford cars worth hundreds of thousands, but in the game, as long as you save a little, you can always afford it, so cars at all price points actually have the opportunity for players to try and experience, which is actually a good brand output opportunity."

"Of course, some car companies are not interested in this. It may be because they are not confident in their collision results, or they may not be interested in our game."

"But there are indeed many car companies, especially domestic new energy car companies, who have a strong tendency to cooperate."

"After all, "Safe and Civilized Driving" has certain particularities compared to other racing games. To some extent, it can slightly simulate the feeling of driving and safety, which is equivalent to providing players with a free test drive. After the test drive, some players may become interested in a certain brand and thus affect actual sales."

The particularity that Ye Zhizhou mentioned refers to the difference in the driving feel and safety of different vehicles in "Safe and Civilized Driving" that is completely different from other games.

In other games, when players drive different vehicles, there will be a big difference in the driving feel, but the difference will not be so big.

For example, they are all top sports cars that can reach speeds of more than 280km/h. There may be certain differences in the feel and turning, or individual vehicles can exceed 300km/h.

But it is difficult to have any impact on reality, because no one can drive so fast in reality.

I rushed to catch the train yesterday and have settled down. At the end of the month and the beginning of next month, there will be double monthly tickets. I will try to add more updates~
