The bigwigs present were not too surprised to hear that Zhang Wei said that he was going to sell virtual helmets at a loss, because this kind of business model of burning money to accumulate users is very common in the Internet industry. Even opening a Taobao store requires spending money to promote it first, but If they know that future technology companies are planning to lose trillions of RMB, they will be so shocked that their jaws will drop. This is too embarrassing!

Zhang Wei continued, "As everyone thinks, the profit model of the virtual world is platform commission. For every commercial transaction that takes place in the virtual world, a certain percentage of commission needs to be drawn. As for the percentage, It hasn’t been decided yet, but it will definitely be within a reasonable range.”

Although all the bigwigs present have already expected it, they still couldn’t help swallowing saliva at this time. Every business transaction is charged, even if it is only 1%. When the virtual world becomes the mainstream, the annual income will be a terrifying amount. data, and this money can continue to be collected until the virtual world is replaced, at least hundreds of years later, right? It would be great if they were the owners of the virtual world. However, they can only think about it. After all, in the long civilization of mankind, there has only been one genius scientist like Zhang Wei, and they are not strong enough, even if they create The virtual world cannot keep the ownership of the virtual world.

Zhang Wei looked around the audience and said with a smile, "Okay, this topic is over for now. Next, let me introduce the virtual world I imagined in detail. You may wish to listen to it and then comment."

The bosses immediately corrected their postures, pricked up their ears, and looked serious like a primary school student listening to a teacher's lecture. If you are not serious, this is related to the future direction of their company, even their fate.

"After the user enters the virtual world, he will appear in an exclusive room, which can only be entered by himself and the people who are allowed to enter. It is said that it is a room, but it can also be a world. Users can use their full imagination to build this place into a world. Any look he wants, romantic beach bathed in the sun, beautiful maple forest, vast starry sky, antique garden, or super sci-fi style, as long as the user can think of it, can be perfectly presented. In fact, it contains Business opportunities, because there are always some users who lack imagination. At this time, your company can launch some templates and sell them to these users.

After decorating the room, users will do other things, such as socializing, shopping, gaming, reading news, visiting forums, and watching online movies. So, in the virtual world, in what form will users use these services?

In my opinion, it should be like this.

Take social networking as an example. If a QQ user wants to use QQ to socialize with friends, a "space door" will open in the exclusive room, and step into the "space door", which is the QQ world. This world can be like the world of future technology companies. Like the 'Second World', you can perfectly replicate the real world, and you can also give full play to your imagination to build other worlds, or just build communities. In this world, users can use their real identities, or they can make up one, and the same is true for personal images. For how the world should be designed and operated,

I believe that professionals are better than me, so I will not play big swords in front of Guan Gong. "

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Tencent’s pony brother’s eyes lit up. Although what Zhang Wei said was rough, it did give him some inspiration. Although their company had formulated relevant strategies before, they had never really experienced the virtual world after all. , There will always be some mismatches. Now, he has a relatively clear idea of ​​​​Tencent's future development direction.

Zhang Wei continued, "What if the user wants to shop? Take Taobao as an example. If the user wants to buy a product on Taobao, a 'space door' will open in the exclusive room, and stepping into the 'space door' is the world of Taobao. , of course, this world is also built by Taobao, and you can give full play to your imagination. Then there should be an artificial intelligence to act as a shopping guide. After listening to the needs of the users, the shopping guide will tell the users the address of the store that can meet the needs of the users, and at the same time open Go to the 'space door' of these stores, users should also be able to preview the products in the store through the 'space door' to decide whether to go in.

The store can be decorated exactly like the real world, or in other styles, but there are no salespersons, waiters, or other customers. The user can wander around and find what he wants. If it is clothes, he can still try them on. The effect of trying them on is the real effect, so that users will not regret after buying. If it's gourmet food, he can also try it, and the taste should be almost the same as the real one. In short, the user experience in the virtual world is almost the same as in the real world. If the user is satisfied and wants to buy, then he can place an order and pay like the current online shopping, and the offline will receive the relevant information as soon as possible, then pack and deliver the goods, and the user only needs to sign for receipt. In addition, the virtual world has a perfect automatic translation function and has no national boundaries. Users can easily buy products from other countries. I think you should take this into consideration.

It may be very difficult for you, for example, how to make the clothes in the virtual world try on the same effect as in reality. For this technical problem, the future technology company is already developing related equipment, and it is expected to be successful within three months. Merchants can With the help of these devices, commodities such as clothes and food can be perfectly digitized. "

Hearing this, Brother Xiao Ma of Alibaba Group was also thoughtful and nodded frequently. It seemed that he had also been inspired to some extent.

Zhang Wei also said, "In addition to socializing and shopping, users may also want to play games. The virtual world can reach 100% fidelity, which can give users an unparalleled experience. If they don't know in advance that they are playing games, I am afraid There will be a feeling that this is reality.

Users can also play games in a variety of ways. For stand-alone games, a stand-alone game is a world, a real world. NPCs can have normal IQ and personality just like users. If the user wants to play "Resident Evil", he can enter the world of Resident Evil through the "space gate". He no longer needs to control the game character to play the game, because he himself has become a character in this world. This character can be created out of thin air or Replacing an original character, it can even be a zombie. During the game, users can interact with other game characters. They can be comrades-in-arms or enemies, they can fall in love, they can be decent, or they can be the big boss behind the scenes. Well, everything is possible. If you have read online novels, you will feel that these words I said are a bit inexplicably familiar, yes, this is the time travel in online novels. Now, this can already be realized in the virtual world. You may consider restoring the movie world, TV world, and novel world that users are familiar with in the virtual world, allowing users to travel to these worlds.

In addition to stand-alone games, online games are also a world. You can use your imagination to create a game world that satisfies users.

You don't have to worry about technical issues. Future technology companies will provide your companies with development tools and open source databases, as well as technical support. And the games you develop on the deep blue platform only need to make certain modifications to achieve this effect.

Our goal is to let users get an unparalleled gaming experience! "

Hearing the game world described by Zhang Wei, the eyes of the big players in the game industry were shining. Is there any reason for users to reject such a perfect game and such an immersive gameplay? In particular, Zhang Wei's promise to provide technical support gave them a reassurance.

At this time, Zhang Wei said, "Socialization, shopping, and games are all there? No, this is only a small part. We can also move the movie theater to the virtual world, because watching movies in the virtual world gives users The experience it brings can be better than watching a movie in a movie theater in the real world; we can also move the offline store to the virtual world, this store can be exactly the same as the offline store, after the user pays, the offline store Responsible for door-to-door delivery; we can also move part of the office space to the virtual world. It makes it possible to work in a virtual world..."

It took Zhang Wei nearly an hour to finish the virtual world he imagined, and finally concluded, "These are just my humble opinions. After listening to it, all professionals can just smile, but one thing is certain. The virtual world brings users an unprecedented experience, which they cannot refuse. For you, the virtual world is an untapped gold mine with endless opportunities and wealth. It is bound to be a success.”

As soon as Zhang Wei finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

At this moment, everyone present can conclude that the virtual world will inevitably subvert the way of life of human beings. For human beings, the virtual world will be their second world, and many people will even be addicted to the virtual world. Treat the virtual world as the main world and spend most of your time in the virtual world. Is this good or bad for society? Well, this is actually not important. The more time users spend in the virtual world, the more content service providers have the opportunity to grab more wealth from users. For them, this is a good thing!

Regarding this issue, Zhang Wei also discussed with Secretary Wang, and finally came to the conclusion that there are advantages and disadvantages.

After entering the era of intelligent robots, even if China has made a series of reforms, there will still be hundreds of millions of people who cannot find jobs due to their low education level. These people can get the country's minimum security fund and live a fairly comfortable life , and can enjoy a certain amount of entertainment, but if they do nothing all day long, it will also pose a certain threat to social stability, and the virtual world is a good place for these people to pass the time. There is no energy to undermine social stability.

Of course, this will also make many young people who could have contributed to the country willing to degenerate, indulge in the virtual world all day long, and become rice bugs living on the minimum guarantee. At this time, it is necessary for content service providers such as Tencent to exert their strength. They will launch various services to quickly squeeze out the minimum guarantee money of these young people, so that these young people realize that if there is no money, even in the virtual world It is also a hanging thread, stimulating these young people to work hard.

In general, as long as it can be controlled to a certain degree, the virtual world will definitely promote the development of society and allow human beings to enjoy a better life. (To be continued.)
