Chapter 1421: The Management Trainee Boss – An Expert!

After someone raised a relatively reliable guess, other netizens began to agree.
“That’s right. They must have adjusted the strength of the various structures of the cars in the game after receiving the collision data in advance. They must have ensured that the results after the collision were consistent with reality. That’s why there’s such a high degree of replay.”
“For all we know, if IIS’s data is not accurate in the future, Tengda will hit itself! (sarcasm)”
“Sigh, I got excited for nothing. I thought that there really was such a black technology that could perfectly simulate reality.”
“Your focus has obviously gone off track. Whether it defamed technology or not doesn’t matter. The key is the goal and meaning of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’!”
Many players were extremely surprised that the collision results of IIAS were so consistent with the collision results in Safe and Civilized Driving.
In the beginning, many Parshat car owners questioned the results of the collision in the game. Many players explained that this was only a game. It was impossible to be so serious. Some changes in the game data or small bugs might cause a huge deviation in the results of the collision. There was no need to be too conflicted.
“We have a real physics engine” was just a meme after all. No matter how real a physics engine was, it was still just a physics engine. There would be unexpected problems.
Yet, now, the people who criticized ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ were stunned. Those who helped ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ use ‘game mechanisms’ or ‘game bugs’ were also stunned.
Do I need your help?
There was no need.
Who said that games could not be rigorous? Tengda’s games had always been so rigorous!
Obviously, when Shang Yang Games’ Development Team developed ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’, they really used the car collision as a core content to develop it. They invested a lot of energy and time and achieved a very similar effect to reality.
At first, some players thought that it was some kind of black technology that could perfectly reproduce reality in the virtual world. However, on further thought, that was impossible. Even if it could be replicated, they had to first know the strength of the steel in reality.
Now, he finally understood. It turned out that ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ had long been cooperating with IIAS. The collision effect in the game was based on the collision effect in reality!
What interested gamers even more was why Safe and Civilized Driving had spent so much effort on this.
This did not seem to be the core fun of the game.
Even if ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was like other racing games, making the car damage very low or closing the car damage directly, players would not feel anything strange. They might even be happier.
Someone said that this might be the producer’s decisiveness of the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’: Reality!
Everything had to be realistic, so the collision results of the cars had to be realistic as well.
However, this statement was obviously not completely convincing to the public. Many people guessed that there were other purposes to this design.
All in all, once the results of the IIS collision were released, it caused a huge uproar online!
The collision video had become the treasure of the Eric Island website’s car area. The memes about the ‘black luxury car’ instantly spread across the internet.
As various self-media and UP Masters reposted and reported this incident, the game ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ became a material that they took delight in talking about. It spread widely online…

January 22nd, Tuesday…
Thriller Hostel, in the experience shop near the roller coaster of “Skylark Plan”.
“Come, Boss Xu. This way please.”
Li s.h.i.+ warmly invited a slightly bald and slightly plump middle-aged man to the VIP experience hall in the experience shop.
This boss was Xu Hu, the boss of the Heng Yuan driving school.
Heng Yuan driving school was currently the biggest chain driving school in the country. It was established in 2015. It was first established in Beijing. At the moment, it had already opened a branch in a major first-tier city in the country. It had developed very quickly in recent years.
Of course, there was also a large-scale driving school in Jingzhou.
Compared to other driving schools, Heng Yuan’s driving school had always pursued a premium operating strategy. It proposed the concept of ‘friend-like teaching’, ‘smiling service’, ‘quality above all’, and used high-quality differentiation services such as’ learning first and paying later ‘,’ one person one car ‘, and obtained a good reputation.
Of course, the driving coaches in the driving school were of different levels and personalities. The students’ driving talents were also different. It was inevitable that there would be friction between students and coaches. However, the key was whether the driving school could cooperate with the relations.h.i.+p between the two very well. The friction would gradually be reduced by increasing the service level and teaching level.
At the moment, Heng Yuan driving school was doing quite well compared to other driving schools in the country.
On top of that, the Heng Yuan Driving School was the first to propose intelligent management. While other small driving schools were still letting students queue for car training, the Heng Yuan Driving School had already completed the distribution and appointment functions of the students through their own application. It ensured that the students could “train one car per person” after making reservations.
Thus, Heng Yuan driving school had been more popular among young people in recent years.
This experience shop was the experience shop that Star Bird Fitness’ boss, Che Rong, opened. It was filled with VR equipment for amus.e.m.e.nt parks, shopping malls, including simulated driving capsules, VR shooting platforms, and so on.
After the safe and civilized driving simulator was released, Che Rong naturally bought more than ten luxurious simulators at once to let tourists experience it.
Ever since the roller coaster project became popular, the business of this experience shop was extremely good!
Tourists could wander around after taking the number on the spot after all. Apart from shopping and drinking coffee, playing in the experience shop became the best choice for many tourists.
Che Rong knew that Xu Hu was coming today. Thus, he reserved a VIP room for business.
Xu Hu entered the private room and immediately saw the luxurious set of driving simulators.
Xu Hu sat on the G force seat while Li s.h.i.+ guided him to experience the second and third examinations in the game.
“Good lad!”
“This is much more advanced than the batch of simulators we bought at the driving school!”
“F*ck, I’ve been cheated! Refund! I want a refund!”
Xu Hu lived up to his name and spoke rather directly.
As early as last year, Heng Yuan Driving School had bought a batch of driving simulators for all the schools. They were slightly simpler than the large simulators in the amus.e.m.e.nt park and shopping mall, but they were not cheap.
A small screen, a simulation software for the driver’s license test developed by the manufacturer, and a steering wheel, a joystick, and other parts that were similar to real cars. It took up more than one square meter of s.p.a.ce.
For something like that, the retail price was 16,800 yuan and the wholesale price was 13,800 yuan!
At that time, Xu Hu thought that the wholesale price was quite worth it.
That was because this simulator solved a very critical pain point for the driving school.
The rapid expansion period of Heng Yuan driving school was just in time for the craze of “everyone learns driving”. As the number of cars in the country increased, the demand for cars to travel on behalf of cars increased, and the number of people learning driver’s licenses also increased rapidly.
For these driving schools, they could not possibly not accept students who delivered themselves to their doorsteps, right?
Those were all wasted profits. Of course, he would not reject anyone!
However, if he were to accept more students, there would be a very serious problem. There would not be enough venue and cars!
That was because the driving school’s venue was only so big. Even if they could open a school and a new venue, it would not be able to be built in a short period of time. What’s more, the driving school would usually recruit nearby students. Even if they opened a school, they might not be able to distribute these students: they might want to learn nearby at home and not travel so far.
Many small driving schools did not care about their capacity at all and accepted students with their heads down. In the end, they were filled with people. The students were all queuing up to get on the cars. They waited for two hours and got on the cars for five minutes. The students complained and their satisfaction level collapsed.
In order to solve this problem, Heng Yuan driver school first developed an APP to make reservations. After making reservations, they would learn how to drive for an hour. The students would not have to queue anymore. The satisfaction level would increase.
However, the fundamental problem had not been resolved. There were more people and fewer cars!
In the past, they would queue for two hours and drive for five minutes. Now, it was different. They could not get cla.s.ses even after registering for a month.
Even though the application had been changed, reservations had to be s.n.a.t.c.hed. It was alright during the day on work days, but when it came to night or weekends, the cla.s.ses that were pre-ordered would become popular instantly. Those with slow hands would not be able to s.n.a.t.c.h them.
In the end, it still did not solve the fundamental problem.
That was why he thought of a new method at Heng Yuan Driving School: purchasing simulators!
The mandatory rule was that all students had to train on the simulator for ten hours before they officially entered the car for training. At the very least, they had to train on the simulator for the back-up, turns, and other projects. They had to go to the real car after pa.s.sing the simulator software test.
That way, the students would be divided. The new students would go to the simulator first. Once they pa.s.sed the simulator, they would get on the real car. To the students, even though the learning time had become longer, the queue situation would be greatly relieved. After getting on the real car, they would be able to get on faster because of the simulator’s foundation. The overall satisfaction level would obviously increase.
At first, Xu Hu thought that this batch of simulators was quite worth it. However, after seeing the safe and civilized driving simulator, he realized that he had fallen into a huge trap.
They were not even on the same level!
What kind of lousy game was that simulator that he bought previously? It was even asking for 13,000 yuan?
What kind of configuration was the Safe and Civilized Driving Simulator? Direct steering, GL seats, and games that Tengda had specially developed. Be it the hardware experience or software experience, weren’t they all better than the previous simulator?
Yet, this G force seat seat was only selling for 9999 yuan!
Even though it did not have a monitor, it was so much more worth it than the previous simulator.
What kind of lousy monitor was that simulator from before equipped with? It would cost more than 1,000 yuan.
How much money was I cheated of previously?
Xu Hu could not help but think about this question.. He felt more resentment on remaining strands of his bald head.
