Chapter 265: Strategy of the Big Boss

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As mentioned before, the Xuanyuan operating system had these few special features: Firstly, it was smooth, extremely smooth; more than 50% smoother than the Windows system. Secondly, users could define their preferred mode of operation. Thirdly, it had a good rate of compatibility. The application software in the lite version of the operating system was compatible with the standard version.

But even with so many advantages, the Xuanyuan system was still limited by a huge flaw. The software ecology was far from perfect! There was only 132 software that could be run on the Xuanyuan system so far. This software was all developed by Xing Hai Technologies. There was office software, audio and video players, drawing software, calculators, browsers, and even some small games. All these were sufficient for everyday work.

But how many people actually bought a computer only for work? Were the games that the male otakus loved to play and the movies that the female otakus loved to watch available on the system? Even if the computer was used purely for work, one would still play a game or two such as those survival action games during one’s free time, right? How could they be wowed when these games and features were not available on the Xuanyuan system?

Naturally, Chen Jin took this issue into consideration and proposed a solution at the launch event. “We will build the most complete software ecosystem as fast as possible! The specific measures that we will employ are the same as what we had done to support the Star Alliance. We will personally develop some apps and also allocate 10 billion to reward the numerous app development teams. A quota of 10,000 reward places will be established. The bonus for each rewardee is up to 1 million. Secondly, development tools and learning materials are provided free of charge, allowing developers to quickly master the ‘Yanhuang Language’ to produce our own apps. In addition, we have produced the ‘Yanhuang Work Assistant,’ which is specially used to assist the development software for the Xuanyuan system. The developers can download and use it for free. There are no speed limits, as we want to accelerate the development of the apps. Moreover, our Starry Sky Engine is equipped with an amazing feature after some upgrades. Games developed with this engine can be directly converted for migration to the Xuanyuan system as a whole without making any adjustments. The cost of this conversion is free, and it applies to all games developed with the Starry Sky Engine. In order to encourage the majority of game companies to migrate their games to the Xuanyuan system, we will no longer charge a monthly work assistant fee of $10,000 for companies that buy the Starry Sky Game Engine in full and develop their games on the Xuanyuan platform. For game companies that choose to pay in installments, Xing Hai Technologies will only charge 10% of the profits generated by the business operations of the games. This is 5% less than what is charged by the Windows platform. In short, please be assured that there will be no shortage of games available.” Chen Jin smiled, feeling pleased with himself.

Wow…

The audience was all astir.

Wang Dainian heard a flurry of exclamations rising up beside him.

“F**k, this is the style of a bigwig’s tactics!”

“I really have to take my f**king hat off.”

“I was wondering why he was so confident. It turns out that he had prepared his opening move and strategy in advance!”

“The Starry Sky Game Engine is too powerful. More than 80% of all the major games on the market are made with that particular engine. Even Tencent’s ‘LOL’, ‘A Definite Win’ and their ‘Crossing The Firing Line’ were all remade using the Starry Sky Game Engine. If Tencent did not do that, they would soon lose their users to other games with more exquisite graphics. Hence, all the mainstream games that were developed using the Starry Sky Game Engine can be easily migrated to the Xuanyuan operating system.”

“Once the Xing Hai computer is distributed to the market in bulk, it may take only a few days for the Xuanyuan operating system to be filled with thousands of games developed via the Starry Sky. The lack of entertainment will be instantly solved!”

A netizen sighed in wonder, “Is this the strategy of the big boss? The detail of thought put into this is really terrifying.”

Wang Danian was so full of admiration that he felt like he could prostrate himself on the ground! Why did the introduction of the previous domestic operating systems like the Kirin system or the Red Flag operating system fail? It was largely due to insufficient games. Sometimes, there were even no games available. Fruit computers only had a minor share of the market. This was also due to the fact that many games could not be played on their operating system. The critical factor that determined the success of an operating system was the scope of its games. Even if one only specialized in gaming equipment (such as handhelds, game consoles), one would be able to sell a lot of them. If one made a computer that could only be used for learning and working, it would not sell at all. It was destined to be a bust.

Because this was human nature! The top reason why people liked computers was because they could be used for entertainment. There were only very niche and small markets for computers that could not provide entertainment. In order to solve the problem of insufficient games, Xing Hai Technologies first launched a game engine that could dominate the market. This game engine would win over all the mainstream games, thereby snatching most of the players. The games could then be easily converted and then migrated into a whole new operating system. The problem of the small amount of entertainment available on the system would be immediately solved. A game engine was the life of an operating system. Moreover, the expenses were minimal.

This was a stroke of genius. So… this strategy bowled everyone over. In an instant, countless people who were felt rather negative towards the Xing Hai computer were all won over.

The launch event continued on the stage. The last phase of the event had arrived.

“So… how much is it selling for? How much should the Xing Hai First Generation sell for?” Chen Jin walked back and forth on the stage. He asked the audience, “A lot of the audience are computer enthusiasts. There are even some veteran computer DIYers. Let me ask you this; Excluding the monitor, how much should a desktop that is equipped with a 16GB four-channel DDR4 memory drive, a 512GB SSD, a i7-8700K CPU, and a GTX1060 graphics card cost?”

The audience quickly did some mental calculations and arrived at a conclusion.

“About $5,500.”

“About $6,000!”

“If you choose a better driver, power supply, and casing, it will not be less than $6,000.”

“The main reason is that the CPU and the graphics card are expensive. These two add up to $3,500. The other components are cheap. $5,000 can buy you an outdated version.”

“Stop keeping us in suspense and quickly announce the price. I want to see if the price is good!”

The audience was getting a little impatient. Many even stood up with expressions of excitement or nervousness on their faces.

Chen Jin nodded and said, “From now on, all computer-loving gamers, please cheer!”

He slowly turned to the big screen behind him and shook his fist in a downwards motion, “The era of the DIY computer has returned!”

A sensation arose beyond the stage.

A price chart appeared on the big screen:

Xing Hai First Generation desktop, Qinglong First Generation CPU (Long -1000) + 16G memory + 512G solid state host. $3,499

Xing Hai First Generation notebook, Xuanwu First Generation CPU (Gui -1000, Xuanwu is the lite version of Qinglong) + 8G memory +512G solid state host. $2,999.

When this price chart was published, a wave of cheers could be heard from beyond the stage.

“Woah!!”

One phrase overwhelmed the entire bullet screen of the live streaming platform: “What an attractive price!”
