Chapter 323: Subverting the Human Way of Life
The bigwigs present were not too surprised when they heard Zhang Wei say that they were going to sell virtual helmets at a loss, because this business model of burning money to accumulate users is very common in the Internet industry, and even opening a Taobao store has to burn money to promote it first, but if they know that in the future, technology companies are ready to lose trillions of yuan, then they will be shocked that their jaws will fall, which is too embarrassing!
Zhang Wei continued, "As you think, the profit model of the virtual world is the platform commission, for every commercial transaction that occurs in the virtual world, a certain percentage of the commission needs to be extracted, as for what this proportion is, it has not yet been decided, but it will definitely be within a reasonable range."

Although the bigwigs present had already expected it, they still couldn't help but swallow their saliva secretly at this time, every business transaction is commissioned, even if it is only 1%, when the virtual world becomes the mainstream, the annual income will be a terrifying data, and this money can be collected until the virtual world is replaced, it will be at least a few hundred years later, right? It would be nice if they were the owners of the virtual world, but they can only think about it, after all, in the long civilization of mankind, there is only one scientist as talented as Zhang Wei, and they are not strong enough, even if they create the virtual world, they cannot keep the ownership of the virtual world.
Zhang Wei looked around at the audience and said with a smile, "Okay, this topic is over for the time being, next, let me introduce the virtual world I envision in detail, you might as well listen to it, and then comment on it." ”
The bigwigs immediately straightened their posture and pricked up their ears, with a serious expression of a primary school student listening to the teacher's lecture. If you don't take it seriously, it's about the future direction of their company, and even its fate.
"When a user enters the virtual world, they will appear in a private room that can only be entered by the user and those who have permission to enter it. It is said to be a room, but in fact, it can also be a world, and the user can use his full imagination to build this place into whatever he wants, a romantic beach bathed in the sun, a beautiful maple forest, a vast starry sky, an antique garden, or a super sci-fi style, as long as the user can think of it, it can be perfectly presented. In fact, there is a business opportunity here, because there are always some users who lack imagination, and at this time, your company can launch some templates and sell them to this part of the audience.
After decorating the room, users will do other things, such as socializing, shopping, gaming, watching the news, visiting forums, and watching online movies. So, in what form will users use these services in the virtual world?
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 stepping into the 'space door' is the QQ world, which can perfectly replicate the real world like the 'second world' of future technology companies, or give full play to imagination to build other worlds, or just build a community. In this world, users can use real identities or fictional identities, as well as personal avatars. I believe that professionals are more proficient in how to design and operate this world than I am, so I won't play big in front of Guan Gong. ”
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Tencent's little brother was bright, although Zhang Wei said more roughly, but it did give him some inspiration, although their company had also formulated relevant strategies before, but after all, they had not really experienced the virtual world, there would always be some mismatch, and now, he has a relatively clear idea of Tencent's future development direction.
Zhang Wei continued, "What if users want to shop? Take Taobao as an example, if a 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 Taobao world, which is of course built by Taobao company, and you can give full play to your imagination." Then there should be an artificial intelligence acting as a shopping guide, after listening to the user's needs, the shopping guide will tell the user the address of the store that can meet the user's needs, and at the same time open the 'space door' to these stores, and the user 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 it can be in a different style, but there are no salespeople, no waiters, and no other customers, so the user can wander around and find what he wants. If it is a dress, he can also try it on, and the effect of trying it on is the real effect, so that the user will not regret it after buying it. If it's a delicacy, he can also try it, and the taste should be similar to the taste in reality. In short, the experience that users get in the virtual world is not much different from that in the real world. If the user feels satisfied and wants to buy, then he can place an order, pay, and receive the relevant information offline as soon as possible, and then package and ship the goods, and the user only needs to sign for it. In addition, the virtual world has a perfect automatic translation function, and there are no restrictions on national borders, so users can easily buy goods from other countries, which I think you should take into account.
You may find it difficult, for example, how to make the clothes in the virtual world look exactly the same as in reality, this technical problem, the future technology companies are already developing related equipment, which is expected to be successful within three months, and merchants can use the help of these devices to make clothes, food and other goods perfect data. ”
Hearing this, Brother Ma of Alibaba Group was also thoughtful, nodding frequently, and seemed to be inspired to a certain extent.
Zhang Wei added, "In addition to socializing and shopping, users may also want to play games. The virtual world can be 100% realistic, which allows users to have an unparalleled experience, and if they didn't know they were playing the game beforehand, they might have the feeling that this is reality.
Users can play games, there can also be a variety of ways to play, just in the case of stand-alone games, a stand-alone game is a world, a real world, NPCs can be the same as users, have a normal IQ, have a personality. If the user wants to play "Resident Evil", he can enter the Resident Evil world through the 'space gate', and he no longer needs to control the game character to play the game, because he has become a character in this world, this character can be created out of thin air, or it can replace the original character, or even a zombie. During the game, users can interact with other game characters, whether they are comrades or enemies, they can fall in love, they can be decent, they can be big bosses behind the scenes, well, anything is possible. If you've read online novels, you'll feel that what I'm saying is a bit inexplicably familiar, yes, this is the time travel in online novels. Now that this can be achieved in virtual worlds, you may want to consider restoring the worlds of movies, television, and novels that users are familiar with in virtual worlds, allowing users to travel back to these worlds.
In addition to single-player games, online games are also a world where you can use your imagination to create a game world that satisfies users.
You don't have to worry about technical problems, the future technology company will provide your company with development tools and open source databases, and will also provide 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 provide users with an unparalleled gaming experience!"
Hearing Zhang Wei's description of the game world, the eyes of the bigwigs in the game industry present lit up, such a perfect game, such a sense of substitution gameplay, do users have a reason to refuse? In particular, Zhang Wei's promise to provide technical support gave them a reassurance.
At this time, Zhang Wei said, "Socializing, shopping, gaming, is it all? No, it's only a small part." We can also move the cinema to the virtual world, because watching movies in the virtual world can bring users a better experience than watching movies in the cinema in the real world; we can also move the offline store to the virtual world, the store can be exactly the same as the offline store, after the user pays, the offline store is responsible for home delivery; we can also move part of the office space to the virtual world, this is not a delusion, with the technology of future technology companies, users can already contact the real world in the virtual world, such as making phone calls, sending emails, which makes it possible to work in the virtual world……”
It took Zhang Wei nearly an hour to finish the virtual world he envisioned, and finally concluded, "These are just my superficial opinions, after listening to the professionals, you can just smile, but one thing is certain, the virtual world brings users an unprecedented experience, this is a world they can't refuse." For you, the virtual world is an untapped gold mine, with endless opportunities and wealth, and if you can find the right entry point, you are bound to succeed. ”
As soon as Zhang Wei's words fell, thunderous applause rang out from the audience.
At this moment, everyone present can conclude that the virtual world will inevitably subvert the way of life of human beings, and for human beings, the virtual world will be their second world, and there will even be many people who are addicted to the virtual world, regard the virtual world as the main world, and spend most of their time in the virtual world. Well, it doesn't really matter, the more time users spend in the virtual world, it means that they, the content service providers, have the opportunity to extract more wealth from users, and that's a good thing for them!
On 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 be hundreds of millions of people who cannot find jobs due to low education, these people can get the country's minimum security fund, live a comfortable life, and can enjoy a certain amount of entertainment, but if they do nothing all day, it will also bring a certain threat to social stability, and the virtual world is a good place for these people to pass the time, when they are addicted to the virtual world, they will not have the energy to undermine social stability.
Of course, this will also make many young people who could have contributed to the country fall into self-depravity, indulge in the virtual world all day long, and become rice worms who live on the minimum security payment. At this time, Tencent and other content service providers need to make efforts, they want to launch a variety of services, quickly squeeze out the minimum guarantee for these young people, so that these young people realize that if there is no money, even in the virtual world is a sling, stimulate these young people to work hard.
In general, as long as it can be controlled well, the virtual world will definitely promote the development of society and allow human beings to enjoy a better life. (To be continued.) )
