On Lincoln’s side, Mavis also informed him about Mirage’s sales results while taking breaks to eat popcorn.
Upon learning that even though they prepared 2.6 million units this time, their sales were even faster than the previous 1.6 million units, Lincoln was also quite surprised.
However, ording to his thoughts, there should already be 5 million units stock in the market at this point. The people who urgently wanted to buy should have already done it, right?
Next time, it would definitelyst for a longer!
Of course, they had to continue expanding production capacity. It is better to make it and sell it slowly than to let people who want it be unable to buy it!
However, he didn’t n to continue with the previous method of paying a small deposit first and then settling the bnce after the release, as the risk was still significant.
Cloud Dream faced manypetitors, who all wanted to see Cloud Dream fail on the spot.
If Cloud Dream’s supply or capital chain is sessfully attacked by rivals, they may suffer under this high-risk mode.
Don’t be reckless when going smoothly.
When things are stable and improving, the top priority is to minimize risks as much as possible.
So, it’s better to be safe than sorry. ording to the previous n, once the market inventory reached 5 million units, they would immediately change the order mode.
In the future, after cing an order and paying the deposit, the bnce would be settled as soon as the console leaves the factory.
At the same time, they had to find a new cooperative factory and expand their own factory’s production line.
With three factories starting production simultaneously and operating at full capacity, they would directly list 5 million units next week!
He didn’t believe that it wouldn’tst for more than 10 minutes this time!
Mavis looked over curiously.
. with food.” At the crucial moment, Lincoln yed it safe.
At that time, he didn’t know that Mirage’s nature in the market had changed.
It had gradually transformed from just a game console to something like vintage Lego or a rare collectible.
Those who buy it might not necessarily want it for themselves but might simply resell it for a profit.
Once a product encounters this kind of situation, it’s bound to lead to many things that go against market rules.
“By the way, Mavis,” Lincoln suddenly remembered, “are there any more IP addresses on the cklist that sent ordering requests this time?” “A lot fewer!” Mavis sadly shook her head. “Probably less than half ofst time.”
However, Mavis soon cheered up: “But the number of applicants from NetDragon doubled!”
“Oh, how pitiful.” Lincolnughed along.
On the NetDragon side, just after Warner’s buying spree ended, the Anti-Cloud Dream Alliance led by Gary took over Warner’s baton and sounded the charge once again.
“Cloud Dream’s Policy of Dy” directly parachuted into the Hot Searches.
Real-money Hot Searches are straightforward.
Water Army arranged in advance immediately followed suit with numerous posts to keep up the heat.
Media, self-media, anchors, and video uploaders who were cklisted by Cloud Dream joined in on the trend.
The poprity skyrocketed, and countless yers quickly noticed the hot search and flooded into the topic.
It seemed that another storm was about to begin!
However, without warning, someone in the topic suddenly posted something distinctive:
“Are you guys crazy?
Isn’t “Traveler of the Wind” already adapted to multiple tforms?
My download progress is 80%!
You guys are still talking about dying tactics? What dying tactics!?”
The post also included a screenshot of the download in progress, with the progress bar just at 80%.
The moment they saw this post, many yers were dumbfounded.
“Fake, right?”
“It must be edited! It’s only been the 4th day since Lincoln said he was joining the development n!”
“It’s fake! It must be fake! Even the donkey from the production team isn’t this hardworking! ”
Although they said this, the yers who saw this post immediately logged into the Cloud Dream’s game section and opened the “Traveler of the Wind” page.
Before, under thepatible devices column, there used to be only one lonely “Mirage”.
Now it’s changed to “Mirage, PC, home consoles, and some VR devices”.
The option to purchase has finally appeared.
In the past, since “Traveler of the Wind” was exclusive to the virtual environment console and was included with the console for free, there were no purchase options on the homepage.
Now different prices are set ording to different tforms.
The PC and home consoles have a uniform price of 55 yuan.
The VR tform is more expensive, with prices set at 150 yuan.
Of course,pared to the typical VR game prices of 5-600 or 7-800 yuan, this still appears very cheap.
The long-awaited yers naturally hailed “conscience”! while not hesitating to purchase and download.
As they were waiting for the downloads, some yers noticed something:
In the game’spatible device column, it reads “Mirage, PC, home consoles, and some VR devices.”
It means this game ispatible with all PCs and home consoles, as long as the console tform allows the game to run, it can be yed.
The trial version previously proved that they were all allowed without a doubt.
However, the VR device column has changed to “some VR devices.”
So, which VR device was excluded from the list?
As soon as this question arose in their minds, they immediately thought of a name-“NetDragon”!
The twopanies are constantly fighting each other, almost like old enemies!
Another group of yers waiting to download the game couldn’t help their curiosity and returned to Spiritual Rhinoceros and Little Video Station.
They found those posts urging Cloud Dream not to be perfunctory and asking for urate release times, and they relentlessly mocked them.
“Still trying to nder here? Didn’t you investigate the facts before throwing mud?”
“Aren’t you measuring the belly of a gentleman with your own petty mind?!
They said they would join the R&D n table, and they did!”
“Three days toplete R&D and go straight to market! Do you call this ‘dying’ and ‘perfunctory treatment of yers’?!”
“Now I get it, Lincoln has a good reason to cklist you guys!”
The change of wind direction happened in the blink of an eye.
Those who were already losing followers saw their follower count plummet like a cliff.
The Anti-Cloud Dream Alliance had spent a great deal of effort stirring up this flood, but they didn’t expect the water to turn back even before reaching Cloud Dream’s doorstep, threatening to drown them instead!
This sudden blow left the group inplete silence.
After a while, someone spoke up again.
“Do you think there’s a possibility that Lincoln didn’t release a specific R&D n table because he didn’t feel it was necessary? It’s only three days, so there’s no need for a n table.”
Speaker: video uploader Roooooobert.
“Is he sick? We’ve been making a fuss these days, so many yers have been cursing along, and he hasn’t said a word? If he had just said something, would we be this passive?”
“Oh, do you think you’re friends with Cloud Dream now? Do they have to take care of you?” A self-media ount sneered.
“What the heck are you talking about?! Whose side are you on?”
“Oh, is it time to take sides now?”
The atmosphere in the group became tense, and the two people nearly started fighting.
However, Gary had no interest in mediating; instead, he was caught in an agonizing mix of joy and sadness.
He was happy that “Traveler of the Wind” was finally released ahead of time, and whether Lincoln was naively ignorant or really cared about the yers’ feelings, it was a dumb move.
The potential of Mirage would definitely be weakened! He could finally exin himself to his boss.
As for the sad part: he had purchased a whopping 6 hours of top-spot hot search on Spiritual Rhinoceros, which turned into a joke in less than 10 aft
He couldn’t help but wonder: if he cancelled the order now, would Spiritual Rhinoceros refund his money?
