"Are you still suffering from the driving test?"

"Are you still afraid to train because you're afraid of being scolded by the instructor?"

"Are you still worried about the long wait times for practicing driving and not being able to master better reversing techniques?"

"Are you still worried about accidentally crashing the instructor's car and having to pay for repairs?"

"Oto Tech's new product, the Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator, will solve all your problems!"

After the promotional video ended, Chang You's image reappeared.

Chang You explained, "After the last Smart Fitness Clothes Drying Rack launch, everyone left us messages saying that while they also wanted to see us messing around, messing around is messing around, and we still have to come up with something truly useful."

"So, after careful consideration, we've brought you our new smart product: the Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator Set!"

"This Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator uses the highest-end direct drive motor steering wheel, and the all-metal micro-motion pedals fully simulate the real feel. It's extremely feature-rich!"

Chang You began to introduce each component of the package.

Direct drive steering wheel, bracket, seat, hydraulic handbrake, pedals, control panel, g-force seat, and so on.

He also gave a detailed explanation of the differences between the three packages.

"The Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator Set allows you to master skilled driving techniques without leaving home! Whether you've never touched a car before, are working hard to get your driver's license, have just finished your driver's license but are afraid to drive on the road, or have been driving for many years but still want to further improve your driving skills, it's your best choice!"

"Next, we will work hard to cooperate with major driving schools, and strive to have driving schools all over the country filled with Safe and Civilized Driving Simulators, to completely eradicate everyone's troubles of difficult driving lessons!"

Although the audience below was still giving face by applauding and cheering, it was obvious that everyone's enthusiasm wasn't very high after this product came out.

Especially after hearing Chang You say that this simulator set also regards driving schools as an important target customer group, even more people in the audience lost interest.

The launch event wasn't even over yet, and people were already talking to each other and whispering.

"Today's launch event isn't very good. The first half was interesting, especially seeing President Chang appear on the island, that was really interesting, but the second half doesn't feel like much."

"Yeah, in terms of messing around, the Smart Fitness Clothes Drying Rack has already reached its peak, and it's really hard to surpass. What's more, this product itself is a bit too serious, and doesn't have the same feel as the Smart Fitness Clothes Drying Rack."

"Then, if we look at this product from a normal perspective?"

"The promotional video at the beginning was quite interesting. I never thought that learning to drive would be so difficult for so many people."

"But no matter what, a simulator is still very different from a real car. Can this thing really help with learning to drive? It would be unobjective to say it's no help at all, but I think it should be about the same whether you have it or not."

"I think it's not very good to consider it from the perspective of a normal product either. The price is too expensive, and it takes up so much space. Ordinary people probably can't afford it."

"People who like to play driving simulators will definitely buy it. Direct drive steering wheels from foreign countries are at least 40% more expensive than this. Some big brands even double the price. Oto Tech has Tenda's ecosystem, so this steering wheel will definitely be a bestseller."

"But the problem is that this package plan isn't very good. What's the use of this control panel in it? Now, most simulator driving games can be handled with the buttons on the panel. Spending money to buy this control panel is useless."

"It feels a bit neither here nor there. People who just want to have fun can buy a force feedback steering wheel from a major manufacturer, which costs two or three thousand yuan and is compatible with games on the console; true enthusiasts must already have their own direct drive steering wheels, so they can't sell them and buy this one. It's only attractive to some new driving simulator players, but that group is too small."

"Indeed, there are so many people playing racing games with controllers and keyboards, and only a few people actually use steering wheels, let alone such a complete set of equipment."

"Isn't there also driving schools?"

"Then it's even more impossible to count on them! It's true that some driving schools have simulators, but each driving school buys at most a few, right? And the driving school's simulators are all crap, the display screen is so small, and the operation is very different from a real car."

"To put it bluntly, the driving school's simulators are purely because they recruit too many students, and there's simply not enough real cars for them to practice on. Many students wait too long in line to practice driving, so the driving school came up with this idea, to let new students practice on the simulator first. On the surface, they say it's to make it easier for you to get started with the real car, but in reality, it's a helpless compromise, just to divert traffic, so that even if you can't get a chance to learn to drive after you sign up, you'll still have something to do."

"Selling it to driving schools will definitely sell some, as long as this simulator is more useful than other simulators on the market at a better price."

"Not necessarily, because other simulators on the market, although the quality is not good, the purchase price is low! This direct drive steering wheel solution of yours is too extravagant. If driving schools just want to give students something to do, why spend money on something so expensive? Small driving schools definitely can't afford it, and only large driving schools with money to spare would do that."

Not only were the audience at the scene discussing, but the audience in the live broadcast room was also discussing.

And the result of everyone's discussion was almost the same. Except for a few players who have been paying attention to the driving simulator field and have a strong demand in this area who were ecstatic about it, most ordinary players felt that this thing had little to do with them.

Most people think that this thing can indeed sell some, but the main target audience is simulator players and driving schools. It has little to do with ordinary players, and sales will not be very high.

Of course, some people mentioned that Tenda might show off its traditional skills and equip this set of equipment with a new game.

After all, the success of the Smart Fitness Clothes Drying Rack was due to *Fitness Battle*.

But can a racing game really make a steering wheel with a top package price of nearly ten thousand yuan popular?

No one can guarantee it, because there has never been such a precedent before.

Many national racing games are popular enough, right? But that's just the popularity of the game. The promotion of peripherals is not obvious at all. Many people still use keyboards and controllers to play, and they won't specifically buy a steering wheel that takes up space.

Therefore, although the attention of this launch event was very high, it did not have a very enthusiastic response in the end. Instead, everyone was more concerned about how Chang You was suffering on the deserted island.

Even many technology media that came to the scene focused all their attention on the matter of "Chang You developing the launch event remotely while suffering," when writing articles and making video plans, and did not place too much emphasis on the specific products released at the launch event.

……

……

January 10th, Thursday.

Pei Qian was eating breakfast at Moyu Internet Cafe while scrolling through his phone to see if there were any recent news.

"Huh? Oto Tech's new product launch was held yesterday?"

"Chang You remotely developed the launch event to mess around?"

"The response to the peripheral products seems to be average?"

"Great!"

Pei Qian was simply overjoyed.

He had been worried about the settlement next month for the past two days, and hadn't paid much attention to the situation of the two game departments and Oto Tech.

Because gog's revenue has been rising again after the World Championship, and the success of projects such as Real Estate Agency Simulator and Roller Coaster has given Tenda more ways to make money, which has made Pei Qian feel the pressure.

Fortunately, Pei Qian has learned his lesson, and he still has at least three or four different ways to spend money on impulse this cycle.

However, how to specifically use these methods still needs careful consideration.

"I used to watch every launch event of Oto Tech, and the result was that they all became popular. This time I happened to miss it, and then the response was mediocre."

"Could it be... is it really my problem? As long as I watch it, something goes wrong?"

"Watching on the spot causes big things, watching the live broadcast causes small things, and not watching causes nothing to happen?"

"No, no, no, how is that possible? We must not have metaphysical thoughts."

Pei Qian quickly dismissed this idea and carefully read the netizens' comments on Oto Tech's new products.

Some players who are keen on playing simulators are indeed ecstatic. After all, the direct drive steering wheel at this price is really too good. The prices of other accessories are also greatly reduced compared to foreign brands. Considering that Oto Tech is backed by Tenda, the quality control, after-sales service, and supporting software will not be bad. The launch event has just started and the product has not been officially released yet, and it has already become the most popular product in the field of steering wheels.

But the problem is that this group of players is still relatively niche in the entire player group after all.

Oto Tech must still be following President Pei's consistent instructions: stock up as much as possible!

The more goods are stocked, the more they are all piled up in the warehouse, and the slower they are sold. Doesn't this also take up a large amount of funds?

Pei Qian was very happy. It seems that there is finally some good news.

He also browsed the Aili Island website and saw the exclusive promotional page for *Agent Academy* in the animation section.

Flying Phoenix Studio has already reached an agreement with Aili Island website. Unlike *The Successor*, this time the revenue sharing mainly depends on factors such as the number of views and the length of viewing time.

Although *The Successor* is currently quite a flop in terms of reputation, Flying Phoenix Studio and Aili Island website have had a long-term cooperative relationship after all, and *Agent Academy* can also piggyback on gog, which naturally has good attention, so Aili Island website still gave a good share.

But the premise of the sharing is that the anime not only has a decent reputation, but also has a very high number of views and viewing time, which is obviously unlikely.

The first episode of *Agent Academy* will be broadcast tomorrow night, but the next episode... God knows when it will be.

After all, given the efficiency of the animation team of Flying Phoenix Studio, and considering the number of words in the original *Agent Academy*, it is definitely a "series for life." (a series that will take forever to complete).

Pei Qian could even imagine the barrage after the first episode is released, it must be full of "short and weak"!
