As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 372 The End of the VR Era

“Don’t think too much. After all, the sales volume is only one million units. Even if Kechuang Biotechnology gives Gusu preferential treatment, Gusu can only sell 50,000 units at most.

I never had any luck getting tickets anyway.

I never thought I would have this kind of luck.”

On the day when the Ke Chuang Bio virtual reality device was released, Wu Yong and a group of his friends specially found a place that was said to have the fastest communication network in Suzhou, just to be 0.01 second faster than others.

Although we call it a group of friends, there are actually only four or five of us.

“Don’t mention it, I never buy tickets, I always buy them from scalpers.

Originally, I had already ordered a virtual reality device from a familiar scalper, and the down payment alone was as high as 100,000 yuan.

It is twenty times the official price of Ke Chuang Bio.

Although I always buy tickets from scalpers for any concert, this time the scalpers were really too ruthless.

Everyone plans to make a fortune from the sale of Kechuang Bio's virtual reality equipment.

The 100,000 here is a deposit, and the remaining fees will be paid later depending on the specific situation.

As a result, after the press conference of Ke Chuang Bio ended, the scalpers in my circle of friends were all cursing.

Everyone was cursing Ke Chuang Bio and Li Miaomiao.

They can all get enough of a beauty like Ms. Li.

Later, basically all their WeChat accounts were blocked by Tencent officials.”

"Did you get your deposit back?"

"Of course, if he dares not to get the job done and refuses to return my deposit, he won't be able to continue in the scalper circle."

Those present here are basically the second generation of various kinds, the local tyrants in Suzhou.

"If it were me, I would ask him to double the compensation."

“I actually thought about it, but that person looked so miserable.

He signed a contract with a large Internet company, which clearly stipulated the amount of compensation.

He couldn't deliver a single unit, and according to the contract, he would have to lose all the money he had earned from scalping over the past decade.

The legal affairs and external lawyer teams of large companies are not so easy to deal with. They will review your contract eight times alone.

There was no room for him to take any risks.

He could only accept the punishment.

When he refunded me the money later, we had a brief chat. Fortunately, he had a house in Suzhou, and by cashing in on the Suzhou property, he had a chance to catch his breath.

Seeing how miserable he was, I let him go. After all, he had helped me with things for so many years. "

For them, scalpers are not just selling tickets, but also selling services.

This includes scouting the location in advance, choosing the location with the best view and best auditory effects, and then selling it to users.

In addition to daily services, it provides some information, such as who is popular recently, what fashion items are popular, and which items are worth buying.

(I don’t know much about fashion. I bought a piece from an international brand before, and the price increased tenfold a year later. I just bought it casually, and I made much more money than stocks or funds.)

Even scalpers will give you gifts on some holidays and special days.

To put it bluntly, if scalpers do well, they will move towards high-end customized service formats.

“Mr. Huang is still quite honest.

If it was Young Master Wu, he would definitely be skinned alive."

"What are you talking about? Even if the compensation is ten times, it's only one million, which is far from enough to skin you alive.

I have seen the scalper who specifically serves Huang Hui. My father's laboratory had previously asked him to purchase sensitive scientific research equipment.

It is obvious that he is not just a scalper, or it can be said that his identity has long since changed from a scalper to various gray industries.

Just to maintain his friendship with Huang Shao, he has always been personally following Huang Shao's orders.

He said to sell the house, so he sold it? There are many ways for these people to do it.

It's good if one out of ten sentences is true.

However, heavy bleeding is certain, but it remains to be seen whether the company will be forced to sell its real estate.

I estimate that all scalpers, not just scalpers, but also senior executives and middle-level managers within Ke Chuang Bio, are thinking of making a fortune from the sale of virtual reality devices.

I just didn’t expect Zheng Li to be so creative that he could bundle virtual reality equipment with brain waves.

The dimensionality reduction of technology has made any real-life opportunistic tricks useless.”

After all, Wu Yong was influenced by his father, and he had also spent a few years in the academic circle, so he had a clear understanding of technological advantages.

Originally, Wu Yong had been planning to run the wedding. His father had already chosen a location for him and almost arranged everything else.

Who knew that China would have both brain-computer connection VR and artificial intelligence explosion.

This big ship was obviously about to be rejuvenated, and the real estate mines were firmly held down again.

(There is still hope now, but with brain-computer connection technology, the hope is even greater)

After careful consideration, Wu Yong's father decided to let him stay.

To be honest, it is not necessarily good for Chinese people to go overseas, but for ordinary people, the lower limit is absolutely guaranteed.

But for someone like Wu Yong who has a certain amount of assets, safety is a big question mark.

After all, others might be eyeing your capital.

There are many precedents for this kind of thing, especially in the past decade, Russia has taught the Chinese a good lesson that the subject in front of "private property is sacred and inviolable" may not include you.

“Science Biotechnology’s technology is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack.

Not to mention dimensionality reduction, it's simply Zenith technology.

I never thought I would be able to play with virtual reality equipment in my lifetime.

Even if only one million units of Ke Chuang Biotechnology are sold in the future, at least you can get one in a year or two no matter how long you wait in line.

I originally thought that it would take at least thirty years to develop a metaverse product like brain-computer connection VR.

It’s only been ten years, and I’m already able to go on vacation in a virtual world.”

“The virtual world has such a huge impact on the real world that I can’t even sell my family’s tourism business.

We have a hotel near West Lake.

We also have a hotel in Shanghai, but now we want to sell it, but even at a 50% discount we can’t sell it.”

“Nonsense, isn’t it obvious enough that major Internet companies have joined forces with Kechuang Biotechnology to develop Bluestar 2 in the past two weeks?

They want to recreate a blue planet in the virtual world.

At the same time, it will give Blue Star No. 2 some characteristics beyond the real world.

We will be able to buy virtual worlds and experience virtual worlds soon.

If it is really as described by Ke Chuang Bio in the promotional video, then there is no difference between the virtual world and the real world.

The real world tourism industry has lost its meaning.

The real-world tourism industry is like a CD player.

The virtual world is the smartphone. After the smartphone came out, it can realize almost all the functions of the CD player, and it is more intelligent. The only advantage of the CD player is the sound quality. Whether the sound quality is really better is still a very subjective feeling.

CD players have become a niche hobby in this era.

Similarly, in the future, real-world travel will also be a niche hobby like a CD player.

For the tourism industry, demand is only a few tenths of what it was before, or even less.

Then the tourism industry is not just not an asset, but a negative asset. It is a negative asset that requires money to maintain every year and requires the wages of a large number of people to be supported in vain.

If it were me, I would sell it quickly even if I could sell it at 10% off, not to mention 50% off."

Among everyone here, there are very few rich second-generations who just spend their time eating, drinking and having fun. Most of them help with housework or run their own small businesses.

Although Wu Yong's family is not the richest, the business he runs is the largest and the best.

After listening to this, Wu Yong added: “But we can also gamble.

Bet that in the future the biological communication network will be built near your home tourism industry.

To be honest, I now have a hunch that the real estate bubble will burst sooner or later, and real estate in the virtual world will be more expensive than real estate in the real world.

I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to sell all the excess real estate in Gusu.

Then it was changed to real estate in Yanjing and Shenhai.

Wait until the biological communication network in Yanjing and Shenhai is completed, and then raise the price to sell the real estate in Yanjing and Shenhai.

Perfect operation. ”

There is a saying that awareness is more important than operation when playing games, and the same is true for business operations in the real world.

A strategic victory can make up for countless tactical failures.

Like tea drinks, coffee is also addictive, and consumers’ habits can be cultivated. The two are the underlying logic for domestic and foreign capital to invest in Luckin Coffee, and are also the strategic foundation for Luckin Coffee’s development.

With the right strategic direction, Luckin Coffee can make a comeback even if it commits financial fraud.

This is the best proof of its strategic position.

There are many similar examples.

Of course, strategy is not static. A strategy that was correct in the past may become incorrect in the future.

Strategy requires real-time dynamic adjustment, which is the most important reason why any company of a certain scale has a strategic planning department.

"Wu's vision is as accurate as ever. When we were all still thinking about when to sell as Suzhou's housing prices skyrocketed, Wu had already thought of the next step.

No wonder we can’t earn as much as Angkor.

After the sale period is over and you have grabbed all the tickets, you must make sure to give a toast to Angkor.

This investment advice alone is worth a fortune.”

Among you, some have maxed out their logical attributes, and naturally some have maxed out their social attributes.

“There’s still half an hour left, so I’ll go take a look around in VR first.

It can only be booked with the Kechuang Biotech VR system, Kechuang Biotech is really generous.

If it were me, I would restrict reservations to those using the VR from Kechuang Biotechnology.

This regulation directly and perfectly solves the inventory problem.”

The issuance requirements of Ke Chuang Biotechnology were still criticized by some media and individuals.

Or rather, criticism.

The main targets of criticism are those whose interests are harmed.

What they criticized was that Ke Chuang Biotechnology used this method to collect brain nerve data of Blue Planet people.

Then someone retorted, saying that brain-computer connection devices have been around for more than ten years, and if Ke Chuang Bio wanted to, it would have collected the brain nerve data of everyone on Blue Planet over and over again.

Kechuang Bio's overseas warehouses were robbed, and it was later proved that part of the problem was due to collusion between regional executives and outsiders, and Kechuang Bio's regional executives deliberately leaked the news.

These executives were all prosecuted, and all the executives in the entire region were replaced.

If it were Li Miaomiao ten years ago, she would definitely be very angry and clamor to send them to prison.

Li Miaomiao is now mature, or has realized that the world is imperfect and the behavior of executives is human nature that cannot resist temptation.

Change the person to sue, follow all the procedures, and do whatever needs to be done.

In fact, Wu Yong's friends always asked Wu Yong to call Li Shuyao as well. Although Li Shuyao was only Li Miaomiao's sister, she was also a rare connection for them.

But Li Shuyao always rejected him with various excuses.

It’s not that Li Shuyao doesn’t like making friends, but she doesn’t like dealing with the second generation. These people are too purposeful and it’s written on their faces without any disguise.

When she was a fund manager and conducted corporate research, she had seen too many similar expressions.

Wu Yong shook his head and put on the brain-computer VR released by Kechuang Future two years ago.

Last year, Kechuang Future did not release any new products.

It only released Future OS10.0 and an application that completely changed the situation in the entertainment industry - Real Idol.

After Wu Yong put it on, he immediately entered the Universal Pengcheng.

This cyberpunk city left him with too many memories.

At the beginning, most of the buildings and landscapes in Huanyu-Pengcheng are exactly the same as Pengcheng in the real world.

He didn't like shopping at that time. Even though his father's students gave him a virtual real estate, Wu Yong still didn't like to use Huanyu Pengcheng.

Later, after Huanyu-Pengcheng was transformed based on the real world and created a virtual world full of cyberpunk elements such as neon lights, iconic advertisements, and flying cars, he fell in love with this city.

In this cyberpunk world, the shadow of Pengcheng can be seen everywhere, but many places have been transformed.

Then, in addition to the subway in the real world, which is still preserved in Huanyu Pengcheng, the public transportation in Huanyu Pengcheng has become sky trains and public spacecraft.

The physical rules of the real world dictate that anti-gravity is impossible to achieve, or cannot be achieved in our lifetime.

But anti-gravity can be achieved in VR.

Brain-computer connection VR cannot give you the feeling of gravity change when you drive an anti-gravity car, but VR can give you perfect visual effects, and Ke Chuang Bio's brain-computer connection technology can help you achieve the feeling of dizziness.

Wu Yong's virtual real estate in Huanyu-Pengcheng experienced a wave of skyrocketing prices, from one-tenth of the real world real estate to eighty percent of the real world at its highest point.

After the virtual reality device was announced, its price plummeted, far below its previous low.

It’s even worse than BTC returning to $10,000.

But he didn't care. What Wu Yong cared about was the good memories that the virtual city of Huanyu Pengcheng left him.

He believes that the virtual real estate of Huanyu Pengcheng is the best souvenir of the past ten years of the VR era.

Given Tencent's nature, it is highly likely that Huanyu Pengcheng will not be able to obtain subsequent resource allocation, and even basic maintenance will gradually stagnate.

This colorful city will also come to its end.

Wu Yong drove his own Porsche car, traveling around the world of Pengcheng.

In Huanyu Pengcheng, there are not only Porsche, but also top brands such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti Veyron, etc., and their officially built flying cars.

These virtual racing cars from top brands are still expensive.

Taking the Porsche driven by Wu Yong as an example, the price of the car in the virtual world is 8 yuan. Even with such an exaggerated price, its annual sales volume is comparable to that in the real world.
