Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch Chapter 60 – The Crowded Experience Store

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The Crowded Experience Store

“It’s not that they don’t want to make money.” Randall sighed, “It’s just that their production capacity has reached its limit.”

“They’ve reached their limit in just the third week?” Lincoln was surprised.

However, he quickly realized that the problem might not lie with the unmanned factory but with his side of things…

“There’s no way around it, our consoles are selling too fast, the orders are too urgent, and the volume is increasing too rapidly.” Randall felt a bit helpless,

“Unmanned factories are efficient. but they also have an upper limit. They can’t expand their assembly lines too much in a short period, so their current production capacity is around 1.6 million units per week.”

“I see.” Lincoln was a bit disappointed.

Realizing Lincoln’s disappointment, Randall asked, “Do you want to sign another contract with a different factory? When we initially signed the contract, there were no exclusivity clauses to limit us.”

“Let’s sign with another one! Our market share is currently rapidly expanding, and we can’t waste this opportunity.” Lincoln immediately made a decision. Why not take advantage of the favorable situation to build momentum, rather than waiting for adverse circumstances to arise?

That being said, he started considering building a multi-functional unmanned factory for Cloud Dream.

Although it doesn’t seem like a big issue right now, that’s because Cloud Dream is still in its early stages – even though this start has been quite significant, it can be considered as the first step of a long journey, just lifting the foot off the ground.

100 million units!

If the current production capacity of less than 2 million units per week is maintained, it would take a year to achieve that number, by which time the popularity would have long faded, and it might not be possible to sell that many units anymore.

Even if it were possible, how long would it take?

Who can guarantee that the currently co- operative unmanned factory won’t encounter any problems?

It’s important to note that it’s not impossible! The Cloud Dream Mirage Game Console is indeed formidable, boasting cutting-edge technology.

But is it meaningful to the factory?

No!

Factories only care about profit! And when it comes to profit, the Mirage can’t compare to a complete set of VR equipment.

The leading VR game manufacturers, after acquiring sufficient strength, generally establish their own production lines and no longer give profits to external factories.

But this is the current situation. If Lincoln were to push them too hard, would they be tempted to play dirty tricks in Cloud Dream’s supply chain? Will the manufacturers in Cloud Dream’s supply chain be swayed?

These are all uncertainties.

Therefore, the best solution is to learn from these leading manufacturers and build their own unmanned factory.

In doing so, not only would it ensure the security of their supply chain but also reduce costs even further!

If Mavis were to decode new technology, it would be convenient for Lincoln to apply it.

Not to mention, Lincoln has a spaceship waiting for him! This can’t be outsourced to anyone else, right?

And also, the production of prosthetic limbs!

With this thought, it seems like a single stone could kill many birds.

Let’s do it!

“Mavis, help me find some information on how to build an unmanned factory, something for a layman starting from scratch, with only money and nothing else.”

“Got it! Leave it to Mavis!” Mavis put down the tablet and began collecting and filtering information on the holographic screens that appeared in the air in front of her.

Lincoln, once again, picked up the phone and dialed Lorin, the director of the Top Secret Technical Patent Bureau.

“I feel like I’ve been on the phone nonstop all day…”

Now that he wants to build a factory, it’s natural to call and ask first, as he might be able to help.

Even if he couldn’t help, introducing someone who could should not be a problem.

As Lincoln began working diligently on the unmanned factory, so too did Liang Tian begin to get busy.

The Cloud Dream’s experience store was not located in a hidden spot, but quite the opposite. It was situated right next to a comprehensive commercial pedestrian area, with a huge number of pedestrians passing by every day.

If it hadn’t been difficult to find a storefront within the commercial area, Liang Tian would’ve opened the experience store right in a large supermarket.

However, this location was still excellent. Additionally, since Lincoln didn’t want cash-strapped customers to feel intimidated, Liang Tian ultimately chose this spot.

For the past few days, Lincoln had set up a large loom in the middle of the lobby, which could be easily seen by passersby.

Since Lincoln was inexperienced, even with Mavis’ detailed step-by-step guidance, there were still instances of backtracking, and materials had to be replenished several times.

Each time the curious pedestrians saw a little tricycle pulling a stack of wood enter the store, they’d steal a glance. After all, this was a place where motor vehicles weren’t allowed.

Naturally, many people learned about the boss building a loom and speculated that the new store might be a clothing store.

Some trendsetters even guessed that it might be a vintage-themed store, eagerly awaiting its opening.

But everything came to a halt as Lincoln released a new teaser.

“I’ve seen this loom before!! The boss of that place is Lincoln! Is that the physical store of Cloud Dream?!”

“My girlfriend saw it too, she even showed me a screenshot on her phone!”

“Coordinates: Bright Tower Commercial Street East entrance! Brothers, I’m going to scout ahead for us!”

“Scout my ass! I studied textile engineering; leave it to me!”

“Textile engineering? That has nothing to do with textiles! You don’t seriously think that Lincoln has put a loom here so the game would teach you how to weave, do you?

“What if he does? How do you know it’s not? ‘Traveler of the Wind’ is still a travel simulator!”

“Then how do you explain the gunshots and explosions in the background?”

“I am a man destined to be the king of textiles! All the bigwigs in the world take pride in acquiring the cloth I hand-weave, and they’re not afraid to fight for it, even if it means rivers of blood, just to snatch a piece of cloth from my hand! On the Day of the Trinity, as the celestial dog devours the moon, a new cloth is about to emerge, and the wheel of fate once again roars into motion, triggering strife across the land… “0 points, get the hell out!”

“I don’t think it’s possible!” “Instead of chatting nonsense here, I’m already at the door!”

“Live stream! Live stream!”

Soon, someone actually started streaming, but the viewers couldn’t see anything in the store.

What they saw was a long queue of people waiting outside the store.

Only those far away had time to chat nonsense online, but those nearby rushed out their doors without a second thought!

So far, only 800,000 Mirage consoles had been sold, spread across the country.

In a city like Xiajing, with a population of 18 million…

It was like Dourinz a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood!

Unless Lincoln specifically took care of certain people, like he did for the closed beta testers last time.

Or like this time when Lincoln had previously seen a single mother taking care of her blind daughter during a livestream. The mother now found a new console sent by Lincoln, so she could meet her daughter in the virtual world!

Without special consideration, getting a console was still a matter of great personal luck.

As a result, the experience store instantly filled to capacity, with a seemingly endless queue of people.

Liang Tian had no choice but to grab a loudspeaker, stand on a chair, and shout at the crowd outside: “Stop queuing! Go home! There are only 100 consoles in the store, and they’re all taken! It’ll be another hour before the next batch! The crowd is already affecting other businesses!”

Liang Tian tried hard to communicate this, but his efforts were in vain.

Nobody paid any attention to him..
