Pricing

Almost all the workers went to experience it firsthand, and every single one of them praised the headset.

Even Liu Qiuya tried it out and found that the headset was almost exactly as described in the PPT, with no discrepancies.

"Oh my god, this is so much fun! If this product comes out, Boss, can we get an employee discount? I want to buy one for my grandson."

"Yeah, I want to buy one too. Can we get an employee discount?"

Chen Feng naturally agreed. For him, the cost of this item wasn't very high, and giving them a lower price was fine, especially since there weren't many of them.

Then Chen Feng clapped his hands and spoke to all the workers.

"Alright, let's stop working for today. Tomorrow, we need to ramp up production. Our production line is limited, so we must start producing now to build up some stock."

After everyone left, Liu Qiuya didn't leave. She went directly to Chen Feng and discussed the press conference with him.

It was crucial not to be careless about the press conference. Once this Simplified Version Virtual Reality Headset was launched, it would definitely cause a sensation in the Digital World.

After all, it was already very close to virtual reality and could give people an immersive virtual reality experience.

"Boss, I never expected your design in the PPT to actually come true. I thought it was just your fantasy. Our production line can't produce such complex structures and screens. Your mysterious production line really has some tricks up its sleeve."

For Liu Qiuya, she was a shrewd person. She could clearly feel that her production line was merely producing some molds, which were just frames and fixed parts, as well as some electronic components. As for the production of electronic components, it wasn't that perfect either.

However, this Simplified Version Virtual Reality Headset required very advanced glass manufacturing technology. They didn't even have a glass factory, which made people feel somewhat suspicious.

But Chen Feng had already prepared his explanation, so he explained to Liu Qiuya.

"That production line of mine is specifically for solving glass production problems. I bought it at a high price. Otherwise, do you think I would have this capability? Our company is also very large; this is just a branch office. Stop making wild guesses about things that don't exist and hurry up and prepare for the press conference."

"Boss, the press conference might have to be postponed for a while. Otherwise, although the press conference will cause a stir, if pre-orders start and orders come in, and we can't fulfill them, it will be a very serious blow to our reputation."

However, Chen Feng didn't pay too much attention to this point. If their factory focused entirely on processing the casing and some internal frame structures, their daily output would be around 100 units.

His 3D Printer produced very quickly, capable of producing hundreds of components daily. This meant that the only thing limiting their output was the production line.

Based on this calculation, they could produce approximately 9,000 units in about three months. 9,000 units could sell for a lot of money.

The most crucial point was that the cost of producing this equipment was not very high. The cost of steel and aluminum needed for the frame, as well as the production of electronic boards and components, only added up to about 2,000 yuan.

As for the glass panels and some other sensitive components, they didn't cost much money because they were printed using a 3D Printer, so the cost was only a few dozen or a few hundred yuan.

This meant that producing one unit would cost at most 2,500 yuan. As for the selling price, they still needed to discuss it with Liu Qiuya.

Referring to similar virtual reality devices, some sold for over 2,000, some for over 6,000, and some for over 8,000.

However, each of their functions was relatively useless and required a large number of hosts, whether it was a PS4 Console or a computer host. In any case, they all required external equipment.

But their Virtual Reality Helmet did not require external equipment. The entire Virtual Reality Helmet, a thin layer, was equivalent to a host.

Coupled with a very excellent network core architecture, it could achieve low latency and high image quality.

Of course, this was all thanks to the 3D Printer and Elementary Artificial Intelligence. Without these two, his Virtual Reality Helmet would be completely impossible to produce.

After thinking about this, Chen Feng went back to sleep.

The next morning, he discussed it with Liu Qiuya. Liu Qiuya's initial idea was to hold the press conference after production capacity increased and they had a batch of stock, so they could sell it directly.

As for how much stock to reserve, according to her idea, reserving about a month's worth, which was 3,000 units, would be enough to hold the press conference. Then, after the press conference, they would preheat for another month, reaching a quantity of 6,000.

As for the pricing, based on the cost, she estimated that their price would definitely not be lower than 8,000. It would be best to give a more moderate price, such as 8999, so that ordinary people could also afford it.

In Huaxia, if something exceeded 10,000, it might cause great resentment. Although the technical content of their device was relatively high, if it still exceeded 10,000, most people would have to consider it even if they could afford it.

If the price was 8999, which was a more moderate price, neither exceeding 9000 nor breaking 10,000, most people could afford it if they gritted their teeth.

Perhaps this would truly become another essential household device after mobile phones, so it was necessary to carefully consider whether the price of 8999 was appropriate.

Upon hearing Liu Qiuya's analysis, Chen Feng slapped his thigh and agreed with her suggestion.

"No problem, the price will be set at 8999. This is just the simplified version; there will be an upgraded version in the future, and the price of the upgraded version will only be more expensive. As for the sales issue and the press conference issue you mentioned, there's no need for further preheating. We'll do a semi-starvation marketing approach. Although starvation marketing can cause resentment, it's always effective. However, we're not exactly doing starvation marketing; with a daily output of 100 units, we can barely keep up with demand."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Qiuya could only nod.
