Chapter 239: 15 Million For A Figure, Do You Want It?
Everyone stood next to the transparent cylinder.
The cylinder is nearly two meters high and two meters wide.
Going around in a circle, every detail you see is very good, as if there is a real person standing in the transparent cylinder in front of you.
The empress inside is extremely stunning and domineering.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and smiled.
"This time there is really no flaw, we succeeded." One researcher said excitedly.
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. I still want to look at other three-dimensional character images."
Ning Xiaoxing quickly controlled the tablet in his hand and switched to the next completed two-dimensional animation character.
Wearing red clothes and a slim figure.
"Is this Yan Lingji?" a researcher under Lei Heng blurted out.
"Haha!" Many people in the laboratory laughed for a while.
You must know that their research team came together because of their hobbies. Their original intention at the beginning was to turn those two-dimensional characters into three-dimensional characters.
Therefore, many of their models are anime characters.
After the laughter stopped, everyone began to observe around the motionless figure again.
"Tsk, tsk, it's really good, but these clothes are too little."
Gong Rongtao was the oldest among the group, and he was a little embarrassed.
These guys are really energetic.
"Ning Xiaoxing, play this video." A young man said to Ning Xiaoxing.
"Okay." Ning Xiaoxing clicked play, and Yan Lingji in front of her began to dance.
It turns out that this character this time is no longer just an animated picture, but a video.
Everyone observed carefully, the character's movements were very smooth and there was no lag.
Then everyone observed through slow motion again, and the display effect showed that there was no blurry shadow.
"It looks like we really succeeded, which is great."
"Those figures are nothing, they are all scum in front of this."
Everyone nodded.
Their initial vision was finally fulfilled and the project was successfully completed.
Then I tested many other modeled two-dimensional characters.
Finally, a real-life character, Ning Xiaoxing, appeared in the cylinder.
Everyone looked at the video of Ning Xiaoxing being played in front of them. It really looked like a real person walking around.
Everyone looked at Ning Xiaoxing in the cylinder, and then at Ning Xiaoxing who was standing aside and observing.
I can't say much, it's exactly the same.
"Now I announce that the initial goal of the project has been achieved." Ning Xiaoxing announced with a rosy face and a smile.
Everyone clapped.
Gong Rongtao and Lei Gong were very happy and clapped.
"Although the initial goal has been achieved, we still want to conduct commercial research."
Ning Xiaoxing saw everyone happy and immediately continued.
"You may not know that this promotion is a bit difficult now."
People in the interest research and development group were immediately confused. Isn't it difficult to promote such a good thing?
They all like this kind of three-dimensional display very much. If they put one at home, they can directly switch the display to any anime character they want. They can even model and program whatever animation effect they want.
You must know that they have completed a modeling software, and using this software can complete the modeling relatively easily.
Whatever character you want, whatever body shape, actions, and costumes, you can have it all done.
These are equivalent to having a private two-dimensional character that is completely their own, or even a real character.
They are definitely willing to buy these.
They had spent a lot of money on buying figures before, and one of them even spent hundreds of thousands on this.
Ning Xiaoxing looked at everyone's expressions and knew that they didn't understand, so he looked at Gong Rongtao.
"Let me tell you why this is not easy to promote."
When Gong Rongtao saw Ning Xiaoxing looking at him, he knew he needed to take action.
“Do you know how much this cylinder costs to produce?”
Everyone looked at each other and then shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
"Close to 15 million."
As soon as the price was reported, everyone who didn't know it was shocked.
"It's so expensive. Is it made of gold?"
"I didn't expect it at all. I thought it was only a dozen or two hundred thousand. I also thought about buying one for my home."
"Yeah, I think so too. Even if it's hundreds of thousands, I can accept it."
Many people are silently thinking that they should also buy it.
Their wages are very high, and you can buy one in half a year or even a few months.
But at a price of 15 million, they couldn't afford it.
"And this is still the cost price. If the sales are much higher, even if you only earn 5% profit, it will be 750,000 more."
"At such a price, how many people across the country and around the world would buy it?"
"Whether 100 people or 1,000 people will buy it, it is estimated that many of these people will buy it back for research."
"Based on the sales of 1,000 units, the profit earned is only 750 million. And do you know how much money we spent on R&D this time? We designed and produced so many defective products, but we spent hundreds of millions. .”
Ning Xiaoxing saw everyone was a little silent and said directly: "So we must change our thinking and transform this research result into a product that can be commercialized on a large scale. Only in this way can we recover our losses and be worthy of Yidian Company's treatment of us. trust."
"Think about it, which company can invest hundreds of millions in R&D projects based on the interests of its employees."
"So we need to do the next phase of research."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, they must make changes.
Reduce the production cost of finished products and increase its trial scope.
Gong Rongtao was also shocked when he saw the people in front of him. They were high-spirited and very firm in their recognition of Yidian.
In fact, he still has something to say. The price is indeed very expensive now.
The reason is also because of the many previous failures, a lot of costs have been allocated to this.
It's the first time it's made so the cost is high.
In fact, the cost of manufacturing the same cylinder now should only be about 8 million.
The more we make in the future, the price will drop further.
And because of this improvement in processing technology, it will also be of great help to the production of original transparent display screens.
The most direct impact is that the cost has been reduced by more than half, and the processing speed has also been increased a lot.
Taken together, it is estimated that it only costs about 30-40 yuan to produce a mobile phone screen.
It can only be said that the technological innovations brought about by each research and development have a huge impact.
