Global Monopoly of Technology

Science and Technology Complex Building.

This afternoon, a vehicle with a white license plate visited Luo Sheng's private residence. The white license plate read "Military D", indicating that the vehicle was from the General Armament Department of the military.

The vehicle drove into the science and technology complex building, and the person who got out of the car was Yang Hongyi, and he was responsible for coordinating Luo Sheng's contact with the military. Now the military rank on his shoulders has changed from the major when Luo Sheng first met with him. It has become the university level it is today.

In times of peace, promotions like this can only be faster than slower.

In the large living room, Luo Sheng personally entertained Yang Hongyi. The latter did not hesitate, and after a few greetings, he went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Luo, I came here to represent the military to ask you to purchase 500,000 sets of virtual brain computers. Order."

Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Why do you need to come here, Brother Yang, for this kind of thing? Just make a phone call and you can get it done. No problem. The military's ordering must be the first priority. It’s not small but not very big, and it’s no problem to send it in a week at the earliest and a month at the latest.”

A virtual brain computer is not just as simple as a game console, its potential for military applications is just as great.

Obviously, the military purchased a batch of virtual brain-computer equipment for the soldiers to simulate special battlefields for exercises. Since it is almost 100% real, it is possible to conduct battlefield simulation exercises with fakes. Many exercise subjects cannot be done in a real environment. can do it.

Some are really impossible to carry out in real exercises, and the reason is very simple, it will really cause people's lives.

If nothing else, how do you play a nuclear war?

The real environment is simply impossible, and it can only be deduced by imagination and sand table.

Since entering the new century, all human beings have never experienced a real nuclear war. If you push it forward, you will suffer two bullets in a small book. Frankly speaking, everyone has no experience.

However, unscrupulous drills can be carried out in the virtual world, because there is no need to worry about casualties. The casualties in the virtual world are fake, but they can provide the most realistic drills.

By simulating nuclear war or other forms of warfare in the virtual world, you can definitely gain valuable experience that cannot be obtained in real-life drills.

Yang Hongyi said with a smile: "I came here today to visit you and dig your corner. I asked you to recommend a group of talents to work in the military."

Luo Sheng also said cheerfully: "This is the first time I have encountered such a poaching person. Which talents did the military have in me?"

Yang Hongyi smiled and said: "Just kidding, the military can't afford such a high salary, they may not be willing to come if the salary is lower, ten times the salary is not worth it, so I borrowed a period of time to help the military develop some required mirror battlefield environment simulations. "

Hearing this, Luo Sheng nodded: "The game department has to find a development engineer. It's not a big problem. I'll arrange it today. I will lend 200 excellent developers to the military and give me three days to arrange it. ."

Yang Hongyi immediately got up and said: "Well, after three days, I will send someone over to pick them up. This visit is for these few things, so I won't stay any more."

When he was about to leave, Yang Hongyi turned his head and said, "By the way, there is one more thing, Mr. Luo, the virtual brain computer is of a military nature, and special reports need to be made for export."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "No problem, but I'm not optimistic that overseas military institutions will come to our company to place orders."

Yang Hongyi: "Oh? What's the meaning of this?"

Luo Sheng briefly analyzed: "The product itself is not cheap. Foreign customers can't afford what they want, and dare not use what they can afford. Do you think Europeans and Americans would dare to buy it for military simulation exercises?"

Using virtual brain computers for simulated exercise training, Europeans and Americans are absolutely 100% convinced that military secrets will be leaked, and the two reasons of extreme distrust and military security are blocked.

Yang Hongyi nodded and said: "It makes sense, but if there is really a foreign military procurement, the process that should be followed has to go through again."

Luo Sheng said: "Of course."

Finally, after a few more chats, Yang Hongyi didn't stay any longer.

After the main purpose of the trip was achieved, he left and stayed at Luo Sheng's house for less than 20 minutes.

...

Not long after Yang Hongyi left, Luo Sheng went to work in his private office, and An Qingxue walked in after a while.

"The sales data of virtual brain machines came out. The first day shipment was 400,000 units, with a turnover of 7.5 billion yuan, and the sales volume far exceeded the expected 330,000 units."

The price of each unit is 50,000 yuan, the sales volume of 400,000 units is 20 billion yuan, and the turnover is only 7.5 billion yuan. It is obvious that most customers did not buy the full amount, but bought them by installments and loans. The 400,000 yuan Taiwan's sales have added more than $10 billion in receivables to the Côte d'Azur.

An Qingxue continued to report: "As of this morning's statistics, the number of virtual Internet users has officially exceeded 5 million, and the volume is still soaring. The main source of growth is the huge contribution of virtual Internet cafes."

So far, Côte d’Azur has directly sold 400,000 devices, and the cooperation with Xingyu has shipped 1.5 million devices, adding up to less than 2 million. Under normal circumstances, the number of virtual Internet users should not exceed 2 million.

However, it is precisely because of the 1.5 million devices in the chain of Internet cafes under Xingyu Company that the scale of users has exceeded 5 million today. One machine will receive different customers every day, and the number of users entering the virtual world experience is of course more than the number of devices. Much more.

"Yes, if this trend continues, it is expected to exceed 100 million virtual Internet users this year. We have to speed up the promotion of Internet cafes. Go back to the company to say hello to Lao Yao, and continue to expand the production scale to supply the market." Luo Sheng said so, and also picked up the material report handed by An Qingxue to carry out

An Qingxue said: "The morning executive meeting also focused on discussing Xingyu's affairs, and the management also took a fancy to the promotion of virtual Internet cafes or Internet cafes to boost virtual Internet users. The configuration of more than 500,000 machines in the company.”

Cote d’Azur is not focusing on the hardware sales of virtual brain machines, but the growth rate of virtual Internet users. Simply put, the top priority is to make virtual Internet users exceed 100 million as soon as possible.

Reaching this order of magnitude, the entire virtual Internet ecosystem can initially achieve a self-hematopoietic cycle, without the need for continuous blood transfusions from the Côte d’Azur to maintain the early budding stage.

The key is to quickly form the Matthew effect to achieve the goal of the strong becoming stronger.

Luo Sheng calmly vetoed while looking at the materials: "Don't ignore some potential problems for the sake of savage and extensive growth, Xingyu Company's current plate is already big enough, and it will be complacent, then turn around and bargain with me, aren't you? One more layer of trouble? Capital is not a kind person, it will only constantly seek higher profits."

Speaking of which, Luo Sheng paused and flipped through the material while browsing, and added, "...even if 500,000 more sets of equipment can be released, it will be allocated to others, to support some self-employed households, and other chain brands. , Xingyu company has allocated so much to them this year."

Luo Sheng's words were a complete statement.

An Qingxue: "Okay, tomorrow I'll bring your message to President Yao."

As soon as the virtual brain computer came out, the Internet cafe industry suddenly changed from a sunset industry to a new sunrise industry. Now it is a blue ocean. I don’t know how many people want to come in and get a piece of the pie. arrive.

Forcing some bosses or investors to go directly to offline stores on the Côte d’Azur to scavenge retail goods, it is quite exaggerated to sell 400,000 units of expensive equipment for 50,000 yuan a day, which is equivalent to selling two or three million units. Azure Smartphone.

Ordinary consumer users are absolutely unable to contribute such a large amount of shipments. It is obvious that there must be another party who is buying heavily, that is, the group of people who want to open Internet cafes.

Now even a fool knows that running a virtual Internet cafe is very profitable. Just like the Internet cafe industry 15 to 20 years ago, if you open one, you will become popular. It is no exaggeration to say that you can earn money while lying down. .

It's just that the threshold for opening a virtual Internet cafe is much higher than that of a traditional Internet cafe. First, the capital threshold has been increased by more than ten times. A traditional Internet cafe can open with tens of millions.

However, it is very difficult for a virtual Internet cafe to make a name for itself without tens of millions of start-up funds. No matter how bad it is, it will take 5 million to play well. Although a store with 20 or 30 machines can be opened for more than one million, it will be recovered. The cost takes a long time, and the time cost is very bad.

It is only reasonable to have more than 100 units in a store. Although the threshold is high, it is now a sweet pastry in the eyes of capital and is highly favored. What is lacking is definitely not a question of money, but a problem of supply, and it is the focus of not getting the goods.

Now in the world, only the Riviera can provide virtual brain computers, and everyone has to watch the Riviera to enjoy their meals. Everyone knows that there are big-money deals, and they are all lined up to squeeze in. Only those with strong capital are eligible to eat.

It was also inevitable that the bubbles were blown.
