Chapter 159 Auto Repair Professional Textbook
"Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it means it's a good graphics card!"
Like Pan Yang, there are many players who still feel they are invincible after the new version of "Star Emperor" was updated.
Then, they all paid a painful price with blood and tears.
There is also a gap between the immortal emperors in the immortal realm! The introduction of the Transformation and Freedom Method directly dealt a heavy blow to those supreme immortal emperors who had been arrogant and domineering for a long time on the road to becoming immortals.
What kind of Immortal Emperor are you? You are only level 3090 and haven't even reached Ti yet, yet you dare to use the Transformation of Others and pretend to be an Immortal Emperor on the road to becoming an Immortal? I will just save you right here!
"It's true, the whistling sound of this high-end flagship graphics card is indeed louder than that of mid-range and low-end graphics cards!"
Chen Ba said in surprise.
He just saw a video shared by a player in the fan group. The title was very explosive, the kind of video that would shock you as soon as you saw the title.
[A collection of the howling sounds of 3090, 3080, 4080, and 4090 graphics cards. You can enjoy the sounds of them all at once...]
Look, what is professionalism?
This is called professionalism! 99% of people have never heard the tragic cries of graphics cards that were initially priced at eight or nine thousand, or even tens of thousands of yuan, after experiencing unbearable torture.
This talented UP host not only compiled the most complete collection of high-end flagship card howling sounds on the entire Internet, but also made a song out of it.
What a talent!
As one netizen said in the comment section: Frankly speaking, this song is not nice, but as soon as you think that this is the sound produced by 3090 and 4090, it immediately becomes pleasant to the ear!
"It's just a psychological suggestion."
Yang Dong was speechless. They were all whistling sounds from the graphics cards. What was the difference? How could one tell the quality of the sound from this? It was nothing more than the price being there, and everyone was under psychological suggestion that it sounded good. In fact, regardless of the price of these graphics cards, the whistling sounds from high-end flagship cards were more harsh and unpleasant.
As for the reason...
There is actually a big difference between triple fans and dual fans! "50 series is great news!"
Xiao Lu said with a click of the tongue: "Wouldn't Old Huang be so happy? He just released a new graphics card and we are working so hard to help him promote it?"
"He should be happy indeed."
"But if you say that the sales of the 50 series will increase significantly, that's probably not the case. After all, there are two disruptors in the PC discrete graphics market, AMD and Intel!"
AMD's new 8000 series cards will be released soon. By then, based on the starting price and performance, we can probably determine whether the 50 series will be a big seller.
As for Intel's discrete graphics card, don't think too much about it for now, just win a GAL championship first to prove its strength!
When talking about this, Chen Babengbu said with a smile: "It seems that Intel's independent graphics business has not been specially adapted for other games except "Star Emperor"?"
"No!"
Yang Dong also wanted to laugh.
Intel really has a soft spot for "Star Emperor", and all other games have to adapt to Intel's discrete graphics card.
The only game that the game manufacturer is not in a hurry for is "Star Emperor". Graphics card manufacturers have taken the initiative to adapt it, and some have even prepared adaptation for "Star Emperor" before the new cards are released.
This must be a secret crush, right? Intel really wants to prove its GPU strength through the game "Star Emperor".
To this end, they sponsor large sums of advertising fees to the GAL League every year. Intel is also the largest advertiser and sponsor of the GAL League, no doubt about it!
Brother Ba was so moved that he cried.
He actually wanted to say to Intel that if we really can't make GPU, there is no need to waste the money. If you have the money to give to the GAL League, why not give it directly to him?
“I hope they can realize their dreams!”
Putting aside the strength aspect, Chen Ba still has a good impression of the Intel team and hopes that they can win the GAL annual championship trophy as they wish.
However, this is difficult...
As time goes by, the cumulative total sales of "Need for Speed" on both consoles and PC have successfully exceeded 3.5 million copies.
This also broke the sales record set by Tianba Studio's "Shennonglu", becoming the best-selling game at present.
Chen Ba's mouth was crooked from smiling.
You know, "Fast and Furious" is not cheap, even the standard version is more than 100 yuan. According to this standard, the sales volume of all platforms is hundreds of millions.
Of course, I didn’t get that much.
After deducting the channel dealer's share, taxes and advertising expenses, the actual amount received is lower than expected.
“Isn’t it strange that sales are increasing?”
Chen Ba looked at the sales curve of "Ford" and found that the Steam platform had experienced a big increase in recent times.
He is very curious.
During the days when sales soared, there were no discounts, no recommended spots on the Steam platform, and no new hot topics about "Need for Speed" on the Internet. How did sales increase? "This has something to do with a well-known private vocational and technical college in China!"
Zhong Shengwei, who often follows the game "Need for Speed", couldn't help but laugh when he heard Brother Ba's question and said, "According to the latest news, this vocational and technical school has included "Need for Speed" in the textbook catalog for the automotive engineering and maintenance major."
"Lan Xiang?"
Chen Ba could only think of a vocational and technical school that was very famous for its excavator major, and he knew it was them as soon as he heard the name.
"They started a new business, and soon other vocational and technical schools also found that "Ford" could be used for teaching simulations in auto repair majors, and so you know..."
How many vocational and technical colleges are there in the country? There must be thousands.
Auto repair, beauty and hairdressing, and excavators are all ace majors, and many children sign up to study these.
Based on this premise, it is reasonable that the sales of "Need for Speed" have increased significantly. After all, it is definitely unrealistic for so many auto repair apprentices and trainees to buy a copy of the game, but as long as some people buy it, it will not be a small number.
and……
This is probably a purchase that schools force students majoring in auto repair to purchase.
It is also possible that the school bought several copies and installed them on the school’s computers, allowing the students to take turns studying.
“Good fellow!”
Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "This is a game! During class time, you let students sit in front of the computer and play games, right?"
"If you can learn knowledge by playing games, then what does it matter? As for whether it is a game or not, the same thing applies..."
"I said this is a game and you are poisoning the flowers of the motherland, so no matter how much you explain, it will be useless. I said this is professional software that can be used for teaching simulations, so even if it is a game, it can be used in the classroom." Yang Dong explained patiently.
He hadn't said anything else.
That is vocational colleges, which are relatively less strict and demanding in this regard.
"Okay!"
Chen Ba thought about it and thought that if the game "Need for Speed" could really help some children learn the skill of auto repair and support their families in the future, it would be a great deed.
In a sense, they shouldn't even be charging the money.
Personal purchases don't matter.
But if they conduct a special "Ford" auto repair teaching simulation in the name of the school, Tianba Studio can give them a batch of Cdkeys for free without charging any money.
"How about this? You go to the official website and post an announcement stating that, in the name of our Tianba Studio, we will donate a batch of computer equipment and the CD keys of "Need for Speed" to schools in need free of charge."
"Computer equipment?"
Yang Dong wondered, "This must cost a lot of money, right? After all, a computer that can run "Need for Speed" smoothly can't be a crappy configuration."
"fine!"
Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "Let's discuss this with Intel, Nvidia, AMD and other companies, and just treat it as a joint charity event."
The major accessories are produced by these companies.
Small and cheap accessories, such as computer cases, keyboards, mice, etc. are provided by Tianba Studio, so you can accomplish big things with little money and gain a good reputation.
That’s right!
Chen Ba is not afraid to tell others that he is just spending money to buy fame. Whether doing public welfare or charity, he is pursuing a reputation and amulet.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is not something shameful. A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart.
No matter what he thinks, he has taken action and put real money into it, which is better than those who do nothing and just talk.
“We are a gaming company!”
Chen Ba emphasized the studio's positioning again, then sighed and said, "This makes it easy for people to attack us, so we really can't be stingy in this regard."
Other companies earn tens or hundreds of billions a year, and people will only praise them for their skills and abilities, but game companies are naturally at a disadvantage in public opinion, and no matter how much money they earn, they will be criticized.
There's nothing to say about this.
If he were an ordinary player, he would also join in cursing these game companies.
But now his butt is crooked and he is sitting on the side of the game company, so naturally he wants to maintain his reputation to avoid becoming the next Piggoose and the target of netizens' attacks.
"Indeed, we have to keep a low profile."
Yang Dong used to be an employee of a large company and was very clear about the company’s online reputation.
To put it bluntly, big companies like Zhue are like rats crossing the street and everyone is shouting and beating them on the Internet.
Although Tianba Studio is small in scale and not well-known, there have been signs of this kind of public opinion crisis since the beginning of the year.
Fortunately, there is Tianba Community.
The healthy operation of Tianba Community has always been the key to Tianba Studio’s reputation. After all, all the fans active in Tianba Community are die-hard fans of the studio.
As long as this basic base remains, there won’t be too many people cursing Tianba online.
The premise is that everyone has to keep a low profile.
If you show off or put others down all the time, aren't you just waiting to be scolded? The same game with huge revenue and popularity is not bad, so why is there no Peace Elite among the famous player groups of the original Beng Nong Lu? This is worth reflecting on.
"Need for Speed" has become a professional software for auto repair teaching, and the fact that Tianba Studio gave CDkeys to many vocational and technical colleges once caused heated discussions.
However, compared with the ultimate evolution of "Love Adviser" on mobile, the first blind date conference with one million people, it's still a little bit lacking.
I've heard of blind date conferences.
Generally speaking, the number of participants in such blind date conferences will be slightly exaggerated. For example, if there are dozens of people participating, it is a blind date conference for thousands of people, and if there are hundreds of people participating, it is a blind date conference for tens of thousands of people...
But no matter how much it is exaggerated, this scale is almost at its peak at "tens of thousands of people".
After all, a blind date conference requires offline venues and organizers, and it also needs to organize various activities and guest seats. Ten thousand people is already very abstract. Who would believe a blind date conference of 100,000 people? As for a million people...
Are you crazy, buddy? What does a million people mean? If Li Yunlong had this scale, I'm afraid he would have conquered the entire earth.
If you change the platform, the game, or the software and claim that you are going to hold a blind date conference with one million participants, everyone will think it is a scam.
But the game "Love Advisor" is different, especially after the mobile version was released...
Tianba Studio claims that there are a million people who signed up, and that may really be the case! After all, Brother Ba doesn't like to exaggerate, and this game does have so many eligible single players.
"To be exact, 1,143,700 people!"
In order to ensure the smooth running of this blind date conference for one million people, Chen Ba specially added several groups of servers and also took corresponding emergency prevention measures.
He also knew that among the 1.14 million registered players, a considerable number of them signed up just to join in the fun.
But no matter what, this is a real million people!
With millions of people online at the same time, this is undoubtedly a severe test for Tianba Studio, especially the server, which is of paramount importance.
"Brother Ba, how many pairs of players do you think can be brought together this time?"
“Not sure!”
Chen Ba shook his head and said hesitantly, "According to the matching mechanism and compatibility of Love Staff, the success rate should be 5/1000, right?"
This success rate is not low.
You have to know that not every player who signs up is here for a blind date. Many people just join in the fun and have no intention of finding a partner at all.
So 5/1000 is pretty good. If calculated based on one million people, it means that 5,000 players can find a partner through this event.
“Too low!”
"Brother Ba, you still underestimate the matching mechanism of the game "Love Advisor". In my opinion, this time there may be a 2% or 3% success rate."
Xiao Lu is very optimistic.
In his words, traditional blind date conferences are simply incomparable to the blind date conferences organized by "Love Advisers".
The matching mechanism of this game determines that the success rate will be much higher than the traditional blind date model.
As it turned out, he was right.
Chen Ba still underestimated the accuracy of the game "Love Advisers" in grasping human nature. The success rate of players who entered the blind date stage after being matched by the system was simply outrageous.
Two percent? Three percent? No one expected that by the end of the event, the matchmaking success rate would reach an astonishing five percent.
In other words, at this blind date conference with one million participants, as many as 58,000 players found their partners, established preliminary relationships, and indicated that they could further enhance their understanding of each other.
This doesn't mean it's all done.
It's just a preliminary relationship. After getting to know each other better, they may decide to separate if they feel they are not suitable for each other. But this number of people is scary enough to tell others.
Anyway, this event actually attracted a lot of attention in Beijing, which sent a commendation letter to Tianba Studio overnight, stating that more events like this that create "positive energy", "promote social harmony" and "give full play to the advantages of the Internet" should be held.
No money? No people? It doesn't matter! Give money and people. Such a good event must continue. If there are difficulties, we can also co-organize it!
