Su Ping had great admiration for Miss Dong's business acumen.

This ability was somewhat similar to the so-called metaverses of his previous life.

However, Su Ping felt it necessary to temper Miss Dong's excitement.

"Um, the creation of each virtual helmet requires a Mechanical Core that failed to awaken..."

"Er..."

Dong Muyun's steps came to a halt, her eager anticipation stiffening, then she slumped onto the couch, her voice tinged with regret and annoyance, "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

"What a pity... such a great pity!"

Dong Muyun repeated those words, slightly relieved that such costs wouldn't allow for mainstream distribution in the short term.

After exhaling deeply and calming her excited emotions, Dong Muyun then asked, "So, what price do you plan to sell Heart of Dreams for?"

Su Ping shrugged. "Isn't that up to you? But judging by the way you've priced things before, a billion?"

Dong Muyun rolled her eyes at him. "If it was a billion, this thing really wouldn't sell! Pricing high-end creations isn't calculated like that. Even at a fifty percent margin, each unit's profit is in the tens of millions. So, this product could actually adopt a low-margin, high-volume approach. A Mechanical Core that failed to awaken would come to about 85 million using Tianyun's channels and internal pricing. As for the rest, it shouldn't cost much... Hmm... What about a price tag of 120 million?"

Su Ping was noncommittal; marketing wasn't his area of involvement.

Realizing that it was pointless to ask him, Dong Muyun nodded to herself and continued, "Alright, let's just settle on that for now. Heart of Dreams is absolutely a top-tier product. Even though it's expensive, there certainly won't be a shortage of wealthy buyers. We need to figure out how to keep up with production capacity. Moreover, to break away from Pingyun's established image as primarily a Magic Potion business, we need to launch a new advertising campaign. The ad placements should be set during the startup animation sequences of supercars and in some high-end locations..."

In just a few minutes, Miss Dong had meticulously covered everything from positioning to advertising and marketing, down to the smallest detail.

Then, looking at Su Ping who was lost in thought, Miss Dong suddenly threw out a question, "Speaking of which, isn't the person from Magic Capital and Miss Qin returning to Linzhou soon?"

"Yes, they'll be in Linzhou two days from now... Hmm? How did you know?" Su Ping glanced at Dong Muyun strangely. Qin Xiaoxue had indeed told him two days ago that she would be returning to Linzhou in two days to prepare for the New Year.

Dong Muyun ignored his question and asked seriously, "When can we expect a batch of Heart of Dreams to be officially produced?"

Su Ping was speechless. This woman's topic jumps were a bit too abrupt, weren't they?

He sighed and responded, "It's impossible to mass-produce these with an assembly line; each mechanical helmet needs my Mechanical Pet Beast to establish the connection. So there won't be many. You can take twenty after the New Year to start. As for now, counting the one you have, I've only made five so far. But these five I made myself recently, and I still have use for them. I won't sell them."

Dong Muyun pouted and then declared stoutly, "I don't care. Of these five you made yourself, you absolutely have to give me one. Consider it my dividend for investing in your Heart of Woods this year."

"Fine, fine..."

Su Ping waved his hand dismissively, not fussed about it.

Two helmets would go to Qin Xiaoxue and Sang Sheng to try out, he'd keep one, and Dong Muyun had claimed one.

That left one more, which he'd give to Li Shu and Guan Lingling to use in rotation, depending on their performance.

Others, like Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai, weren't particularly interested in this kind of thing.

"Hehe, by the way, Mu Xuan will also be in Linzhou in a couple of days. He's actually looking forward to visiting you."

Su Ping wasn't concerned. He had a decent impression of Dong Muxuan and no prejudice against him, so there was naturally no reason to turn him away.

Seeing Su Ping's noncommittal expression, Dong Muyun continued to make conversation, "What are your thoughts on the Heart of Dreams advertisement? Should we hire a popular influencer? Do you have any favorite stars or actors? We could fulfill some of your wishes this time~"

Su Ping gave her a strange look. "Are you bored or something? My idol is the Legendary Divine Dragon, is that okay?"

Dong Muyun rolled her eyes at this romantically clueless guy before sighing and saying, "The Dong Family also wants to strengthen ties with you. What do you think?"

"I'm not really interested. But if it's for your sake, I suppose I could exchange a few pleasantries. As for any deeper collaboration, let's just forget about it."

Standing up, Su Ping concluded, "Alright, in short, you handle the promotion for Heart of Dreams. But forget about any popular celebrities; Heart of Dreams doesn't appeal to their fan base, and it would just lower its prestige. If the advertisement absolutely must feature people, try to use ordinary individuals."

With that said, without waiting for Dong Muyun's reply, Su Ping waved his hand and walked down from the top-floor office of Heart of Cloud.

After the Heart of Dreams prototype was completed, Su Ping had tried it for a whole night before seeking out this woman to test it. It seemed to work well. However, this was still an initial result, and from Dong Muyun's experience, Su Ping couldn't see any room for further improvement.
