Super Copy of Great Power Technology

After leaving the press conference, Zhao Hongcai went directly to the data monitoring room on the same floor. This was a large room of over 300 square meters, containing three rows of hundreds of computers, each equipped with at least three large monitors displaying densely packed data, graphs, and bar charts. Hundreds of staff members were busy at their respective workstations. With the development of the internet and the Internet of Things, the collection, transmission, and aggregation of various data have become increasingly simple and fast. As a high-tech enterprise, Ruida Group has invested heavily in enterprise intelligence. The entire Ruida Group's production status, raw material reserves, product inventory, transportation, and sales, product development progress, company accounts, and online store sales data are all gathered in this small data monitoring room.

At this moment, Qiao Ruida, Liu Jiayu, and several other senior executives of the group were already gathered in the data monitoring room, chatting and drinking tea. Zhao Hongcai greeted them, found an empty seat, and sat down. Brain-computer interface devices, following Ruida mobile phones, are the second core electronic product that Ruida Group is focusing on developing. They are the cornerstone of building a second world for humanity and the foundation for Ruida Group's renewed rapid growth. Therefore, the sales situation of brain-computer interface devices has naturally become the focus of attention for everyone in Ruida Group. Qiao Ruida and other company executives gathered in the data monitoring room precisely to obtain the sales data of the brain-computer interface as soon as possible.

Liu Jiayu handed a cup of tea to Zhao Hongcai and asked, "Old Zhao, is the product launch over? When will the brain-computer interface be available for sale?"

"Thank you!" Zhao Hongcai picked up his teacup, drank half a cup of tea in one gulp to soothe his burning throat, and continued, "The release of the brain-computer interface is complete. There are also some small items and ecosystem products to be released later. This spring new product launch event will be over in about half an hour."

"Is there still half an hour left? That's very soon. Does this mean that sales of the brain-computer interface will officially begin after the press conference ends?"

"Yes, online sales will begin immediately after the press conference. Offline physical store sales will start later, officially launching tomorrow during the day. Has Ruida Networks set up its online game servers? Can you launch the open beta simultaneously to handle the traffic surge caused by millions of players logging on at the same time?"

"Don't worry, our game servers are hosted on the company's quantum supercomputer, capable of accommodating hundreds of millions of players online simultaneously without lag." As time went on, some top-secret research projects gradually surfaced, and the fact that the company possessed quantum computers and quantum supercomputers was no secret within the Rida Group. However, the production of quantum chips was difficult, with an extremely low yield rate. While producing a batch for internal use using laboratory methods was feasible, mass production and external sales were beyond their capabilities.

"That's good. According to the analysis of our marketing colleagues, more than 70% of the first batch of consumers who purchased brain-computer interface devices are game enthusiasts. After all, the concept of virtual games has been around for a long time, and it can have a large audience without any promotion."

The group chatted and drank tea, and half an hour passed quickly. The press conference next door had ended; after seeing off the media reporters, staff began cleaning the venue and dismantling equipment. Meanwhile, the customer service and sales staff of Ruida Networks immediately sprang into action, listing the newly launched products and starting sales. In the data monitoring room, Qiao Ruida immediately contacted Jarvis to project the real-time sales charts from Ruida Technology's flagship store onto the holographic screen.

All eyes were fixed on the holographic screen, awaiting updates on online sales. The next moment, the real-time data refreshed, and the blue bar representing the headphone-type brain-computer interface device soared skyward, reaching its zenith. Within just one second of sales opening, it had surpassed 10,000 units. The yellow bar representing the helmet-type brain-computer interface device followed closely behind, selling over 8,000 units, exceeding everyone's expectations. Next came the two new mobile phone products released today, with sales less than half of the former two. The glasses-type brain-computer interface device ranked fifth, with sales just over 1,000 units, a significant gap compared to the other two brain-computer interface devices.

"Wow, this brain-computer interface is so popular. More than 10,000 units were sold in just one minute after it went on sale."

"This generation of young people is living in the era of the rise of online literature. Who hasn't read a few online game novels? They must have a deep impression of the game helmets in them. Everyone wants to own one and wear it to experience the magical virtual world. Now the dream has become a reality. A brain-computer interface device with functions very similar to a game helmet has actually been successfully developed, and the price is within their affordability. Why not grab one as soon as possible?"

Why is it that, among brain-computer interface devices, headset-style and helmet-style devices are selling like hotcakes, ranking first and second in sales, while glasses-style brain-computer interface devices are selling poorly, with sales only one-eighth or even one-tenth of the former two, ranking only fifth?

"Perhaps it's related to its pricing. Those who want to experience the virtual world as soon as possible will definitely choose the cheapest headphone-type brain-computer interface. On the other hand, consumers who are going for virtual games are not price-sensitive but have the highest performance requirements and the most realistic helmet-type brain-computer interface will definitely be their first choice. The glasses-type brain-computer interface has the same functions as the headphone-type brain-computer interface but is much more expensive. It is neither high nor low, so its sales are naturally not very optimistic."

"Mr. Zhao, how much stock do you have of these headphone-type and helmet-type brain-computer interface devices? At this rate of sales, they probably won't last more than a few minutes, right?"

"Well, the earphone-type brain-computer interface device has a simple structure, is quick to manufacture, and has the largest stock, with more than 1.2 million units. Of these, about one million are sold online. At the current sales rate, it's questionable whether it can even last for ten minutes. The helmet-type brain-computer interface device has a complex structure, a somewhat low yield rate, and its production speed has been slow to pick up. There are only more than 500,000 units in stock, and less than 400,000 are sold online, which are already sold out."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the holographic screen. The yellow bar representing the helmet-style brain-computer interface device had indeed stopped growing and turned gray, indicating that the product was sold out, with the sales time frozen at 2 minutes and 31 seconds. Meanwhile, the headphone-style brain-computer interface, which ranked first in sales, had already sold over 600,000 units and was not far from selling out. (End of Chapter)
