As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 214 Global Finals

Because Russia still owns 50% of Deep Blue Storage.

In the world public opinion arena, the Russian media is much more powerful than the American media.

China's official statements are basically based on facts.

The Russian media also made a popular science video to explain the technical principles of biological storage and how the American technology is similar to theirs.

This incident is linked to other things again, which shows the double standards of America.

Chinese bloggers who specialize in making a living from patriotic traffic have made a lot of money during this period.

They beat the blogger who made 500,000 yuan so badly that he was at a loss.

American refused to accept this, saying that clearly everyone had purchased the technology, so how could you two have the nerve to claim that the technology was yours just because you bought it first?
The Europa League also chimed in: Yes, yes, if you two do this, won’t I be unable to use the things I buy later?

China and Russia hit back, saying: "Who told us to buy first? We registered the patent. We did this within the rules you set and in line with the definition of international patents."

American said: "Magic is a new thing and cannot be handled according to the old rules. If that's the case, then if we buy the biocomputer technology first, you guys won't be able to play with it."

In fact, China and Russia did not expect to gain any benefits from America, and they were thinking of fighting back at the public opinion level.

The language used in official negotiations is much more obscure, and the above only explains the general meaning.

China and Russia felt that the other party's arguments made sense, so the countries that currently own magic coins sat down together and negotiated additional measures on intellectual property rights.

Of course, this method is kept secret for the time being.

This incident was hotly debated in the media for nearly a month, and then disappeared inexplicably.

There is never a shortage of hot spots in the world, and new ones are always emerging.

The Europa League said it was a pity that you didn’t do anything.

They originally wanted to fan the flames and watch the two sides fight, and it would be best if China did not back down.

In this case, the value of biological storage technology will be greatly reduced, and it may be possible to buy it from American for a small amount of money.

Previously, they insisted on participating in bilateral negotiations in order to muddy the waters and see if they could fish in troubled waters.

As a result, both sides maintained basic rationality, which disappointed the Europa League.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of 2024, and the shipment volume of brain-computer connected VR has exceeded million.

In its first year, Ke Chuang Future’s sales exceeded 300 billion yuan, a figure that even the most optimistic people had not expected.

The market value of Kechuang Biotechnology has exceeded one trillion US dollars, and has long surpassed Moutai to become the largest listed company in China by market value.

"How do you evaluate the market value of Sinovation Biotech breaking through the trillion US dollar mark? Is Sinovation Biotech's trillion US dollar valuation too high? Intel's valuation is only about 300 billion US dollars."

“Thanks for the invitation. Intel’s valuation of 300 billion is because it wants to compete with AMD and has to invest heavily in research and development every year.

However, Ke Chuang Bio has no competitors in his field, and there is no rival that can compete with him in the field of brain-computer connection.

In the field of lithium batteries, Japan's Panasonic has publicly declared that it will defeat CStone Biotech in the field of lithium batteries.

There are all kinds of news about battery development, but have you seen any products that can be put into use? The so-called super battery with eight times the capacity of current batteries is still in the laboratory.

Even in the field of endorphins, the industrial preparation method developed by Zheng Li five years ago is still being used.

Foreign manufacturers have always wanted to optimize or find alternative synthetic routes to circumvent the patents of Kechuang Biotechnology. However, they have found that they cannot circumvent the key steps.

It is impossible to optimize it, as if the current preparation route is already the optimal route.

According to my classmates at Kechuang Biotechnology, there was a research and development team within Kechuang Biotechnology that specialized in optimizing the preparation method of endorphins, but there has been no results in five years.

The entire team was split up and assigned to other research groups. Even Kechuang Biotech itself could no longer optimize the endorphin production process.

I have to say that Zheng Li is really amazing, it’s like he has opened his third eye.

Invest in Sinovation Biotech, which basically has a monopoly. If Intel could also have a monopoly, it wouldn't be priced like it is now.

Not to mention that at Zheng Li’s age, there is no need to worry about Ke Chuang Biotechnology running out of driving force for innovation in the next 30 years.

Another point is that there are too few Chinese companies that truly have hard technology.

Chinese companies with a little bit of hard technology can enjoy a very high premium.”

“The investment logic of investing in Sinovation Biotech and investing in Intel is completely different.

Intel's room for technological advancement is already very narrow, and it also faces competition from its peers in the industry.

When the process entered 14nm, Moore's Law gradually became invalid. It was impossible to make technological progress every year as before.

I don’t know if people nowadays still remember that Intel used to only do chip design, and chip processing was outsourced to foundries like TSMC.

However, starting from 2021, Intel restarted its chip foundry business, and the investment in this field requires huge amounts of funds.

In the past, we relied on rapid technological iteration to only eat the high-end cake of the industrial chain. Now that technology can no longer iterate quickly, we have to start earning hard-earned money.

It’s not shameful to earn a lot of money, but when you participate in the competition of chip processing, you can no longer enjoy the high premium.

Because the chip foundry industry is a high-investment, high-return industry, the returns must be continuously invested in equipment upgrades and technology research and development. Therefore, the valuation enjoyed by Intel is similar to that of TCL and BOE in our country, both of which have technology and make a lot of profit every year, but their market value cannot go up.

Who should Kechuang Biotechnology be compared to? Apple.

Kechuang Bio is synonymous with China's most cutting-edge technology, and brain-computer connection VR has entered thousands of households.

Now is undoubtedly the eve of the explosion of the Metaverse. Ke Chuang Bio is the company with the greatest hope of occupying a place in the Metaverse era, or even the leader.

It is no exaggeration for him to enjoy a valuation of 1 trillion euros.

Speaking of which, in the field of brain-computer VR, I originally thought that Ke Chuang Bio would also adopt the patent licensing method.

The patent was authorized to companies such as Pico, FB, and HTC, but unexpectedly, Kechuang Bio chose to do it themselves.

Choose to cooperate with Tencent and Dami to create brain-computer connected VR.

If it is through patent licensing, then it is following Microsoft's path. If it is done by yourself now, it is following Apple's path.

At the same time, brain-computer connection technology is completely in the hands of Ke Chuang Biotechnology, just like the touch screen technology was in the hands of Apple and was not open to other mobile phone manufacturers.

Kechuang Bio is actually a de facto monopoly.

In addition, the partners chosen by Kechuang Bio are also excellent. Dami can provide mature supply chain management experience, and Tencent can bring you endless traffic.

At the same time, Tencent really understands user psychology and what users want.

The positioning of Futureverse is very precise. Distance education and distance training will be put aside for now, and the first product will be an entertainment tool.

Of course, if you don’t consider overseas markets, Huawei is a better partner. But if you want to consider overseas markets, the risk of choosing Huawei is too great.

From the brain-computer connection to VR, we can see that Zheng Li is not only a R&D genius, but also has sufficient judgment in business operations.

It is normal for Kechuang Biotech to enjoy this valuation. Their only risk comes from policy risk.

What if European and American countries ban the products of Kechuang Biotechnology? But the impact will not be big, it will just be a change from following the Apple route to following the Microsoft route. "

As brain-computer VR far exceeded expectations, Ren Yu, as the leader of the project and the person in charge of subsequent developments, has once again expanded his power thanks to this achievement.

He was already the Chief Operating Officer, and the position above him was only that of Pony Ma, but Pony Ma obviously would not retire so early.

Keep a low profile to live longer.

Tencent copied the "Heroes' Doom" event based on the LOL event and held the global finals at the end of the year.

The schedule and competition system are almost the same as LOL events.

Tencent has accumulated a wealth of experience in the field of e-sports, or in other words, it is really an expert in how to get enough traffic.

As both are MOBA games, DOTA2 has its own player base. In terms of game playability, which one is better between DOTA and LOL depends entirely on personal interests and hobbies, but there is definitely no obvious gap.

However, the more DOTA2 games are held, the smaller their popularity becomes. The most important finals of DOTA2 every year may not be as popular as the LPL spring finals.

This is not because of the difference in the quality of the games themselves, but because of the difference in the event operators.

Similarly, "Heroes' Doom" was carefully crafted by Tencent, borrowing the gameplay and combat modes of many battle royale games to create a culmination of this masterpiece.

It has become the hottest phenomenal game this year. Even if I can't afford Futureverse, I can always afford a Pico that costs more than 2,000 yuan.

Even if I don’t want to buy VR, I can watch live and recorded games on my mobile phone. The visual effects and sense of immersion are not as good as VR’s first-person perspective, but it is also exciting enough.

Due to the popularity of the game, the global VR market share has surged, with a trend similar to the growth of smartphones after the launch of the first generation of iPhone.

The market share lost by Pico to Futureverse was made up by incremental growth.

With Tencent taking the lead, local leagues are being held smoothly in countries around the world.

It is much easier to replicate the same model.

Sixteen teams from different regions around the world entered the final stage of the finals.

The sixteen teams are divided into four groups, and the top two teams in each group will advance to the quarterfinals.

The quarterfinals will be divided into two groups, and the top four teams will advance to the final round.

Finally, the champion, runner-up and third place will be decided based on the points.

The first "Heroes of Doom" World Finals was held in Shenzhen. Tencent spared no effort to successfully host this finals.

The cost is even higher than that of the S7 Bird's Nest.

Tencent has already made up its mind and will do a good job this time, as this is the most important task of the whole year.

The data looks good, and the seats in China's "Heroes of Doom" league next year will be very competitive.

LPL has been in operation for ten years, and one LPL seat costs around 50 million.

After one year of operation of Hero's Doom, Tencent planned to increase the number of seats to 100 million.
