Chapter 540: Media Repercussions
Unlike Los Angeles, which is on the far side of the earth, Huaguo was in the afternoon when the press conference was held, and many people watched the live broadcast of the press conference on the official website. Because of the large number of visitors, Xia Shiyu had to contact the server provider, put the newly purchased server into use immediately, and rented dozens of servers, which barely supported the simultaneous access of more than 100 million.
After the press conference, the video comment area of the official website exploded.
[I don't care about anything else, so I asked the official if I could give a letter, when will the helmet be put on the shelf? Where can I buy it?]
[Is the upstairs illiterate? The official website announcement is so clearly written, it will be open for purchase after three days, and only online shopping channels will be opened for the time being. 】
[The little devil's chicken is really cheap, full of. Or my big future people science and technology NB, technology hangs the world, and the prestige of our country is not explained. 】
[Upstairs, the CEO of Future People Technology is immigrated, and the Future People Group is also registered in the new country, and your pride is a little inexplicable. 】
[So what? The boss of Baidu, the richest man in real estate, which rich man hasn't cut his head and run out. At least others don't make black money, they rely on real technology. In any case, the future people will go out from Huaguo, and its roots are in Huaguo, which is enough!]
[Convincing, anything can be pulled to politics. Upstairs two, can we do something else?]
[I don't understand it very well, but I feel like it's amazing.] 】
[In a word, buy, buy, buy!]
……
The heated discussion on the Internet continued, and the comments of the media from all walks of life also came out one after another with the end of the press conference. Just walked out of the scene of the press conference in Los Angeles. Danny, a well-known journalist for the Los Angeles Daily News, posted an emotion on his Twitter.
"It's the first time I've seen such a compelling press conference. There were only two hours in total, and for one hour I was amazed. If you weren't there, you'd never feel the kind of shock I experienced. ”
The tweet was retweeted tens of thousands of times in a single day. Even Danny himself was shocked. And the reason for this result is only because his ideas have resonated with countless journalists.
Similar to the response on the Internet, this product launch also caused a strong sensation in the media and capital circles. 2016 is the first year of virtual reality, and the Phantom Helmet launched at the end of the year will undoubtedly add a strong touch to this first year.
What's more, the signal released by Future People Technology at the press conference!
They plan to collaborate with other companies in the field of virtual reality!
"At present, there is no other benefit to the release of this news for the time being. But at least it saved the stocks of many listed companies related to the VR industry. When the Phantom Helmet was first launched some time ago, their stock price plummeted. ”
During the video call, Xia Shiyu pushed her glasses. The slightly raised corners of her mouth perfectly portrayed the smugness in her heart.
I haven't seen her for a long time, but this chick is really getting more and more attractive. The jet-black hair was coiled in a circle at the back of the head, and the square-framed eyes were on the bridge of the delicate nose, if other women were dressed like this. I'm afraid I'll be labeled old-fashioned and old-fashioned. But because it's Xia Shiyu. This unfashionable makeup actually has a bit of youthful and beautiful taste.
Sometimes Jiang Chen couldn't help but think if she was a woman who loved to laugh......
"Ahem, chairman?"
"Ah, nothing. Ahem, you go on. Jiang Chen moved his fart a little embarrassed, sitting upright, and he was distracted just now.
Glancing at Jiang Chen reproachfully, Xia Shiyu habitually stroked the hair on her sideburns, and continued.
"Affected by the news announced at yesterday's press conference. At present, 6 VR industry-related enterprises and 13 Internet-related enterprises in Huaguo District have submitted letters of intent to us. ”
"Is that all?" Jiang Chen asked with some surprise.
"It's quite a lot. We've just finished the product launch, and the helmets are still lying in the warehouse. Even if other companies want to cooperate with me, they have to consider their own business and market size first. Speaking of cooperation, do you remember ZTE Hi-Tech?"
It was a very familiar name, but Jiang Chen didn't remember it for a while.
As if sensing the confusion on Jiang Chen's face, Xia Shiyu reminded.
"Last year, that military-industrial cooperation project. ”
"Oh......! The Zhou family's industry. Jiang Chen was stunned, paused and then asked, "What did they say?"
Because of that project, he was unfortunately targeted by the CIA, and he fell out with the people of the General Staff regardless of the "so-called overall situation", and ran to Xiangjiang without saying a word. It was precisely because of that attack that he strengthened his intention to stand on his own.
Although only a year has passed, because so many things have happened in this year, he has almost forgotten about several forces in the country.
Strictly speaking, this Zhou family and him can be regarded as "partners".
"According to them, when the press conference was going on yesterday, they followed the progress of the press conference through our official website. They were very interested in the idea that we proposed at the press conference to cooperate in the development of virtual reality applications, and immediately after the press conference, the board of directors held a discussion and sent a salesman to Xiangjiang this morning to consult me about the possibility of cooperation. Pushing his glasses, Xia Shiyu said.
"Did they mention what kind of cooperation they would have?" Jiang Chen asked.
"In the field of the military industry. They mainly consulted us about the possibility of replacing live-fire training with immersive virtual reality equipment. ”
"Of course, there are possibilities, but it is cumbersome to implement. Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, "And substitution is impossible, body coordination and realistic reaction ability can only be exercised through field training." ”
Unless a training pod with culture medium is used.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen didn't really want to get involved in the military industry. Because there's one issue at stake, and that's confidentiality.
Will the state allow that training program to run on a foreign server? Obviously, it is impossible! This involves weapons and equipment parameters, troop operations, and command strategies, all of which are state secrets.
But Jiang Chen can't hand over the quantum computer, right? He hasn't been selfless to that extent.
"I didn't give them a definite answer. Xia Shiyu said.
"Actually, it didn't hurt to refuse, because I myself had no interest in becoming an arms dealer. Jiang Chen said.
As if expecting Jiang Chen to say this, Xia Shiyu sighed.
"The domestic market is also huge, and virtual reality is a big cake, and there must be many people who are ready to move this cake. For example, in terms of regulation, what should be managed, how to manage, and who should be in charge are still blank. Do you see what I mean?"
"Of course I do. Because it's blank, it's all up to what you say above, and then adjust it slowly. Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair and smiled indifferently.
To put it nicely, it's called crossing the river by feeling the stones.
"If only you understood. We can't afford to repeat Google's mistakes. Xia Shiyu reminded him vaguely.
"Rest assured, we won't replicate Google's failures because they don't have the 'whiteness' that can be a substitute. Jiang Chen said softly.
When the Phantom Helmet completely occupied the high ground of the market, the quantum computer deployed underground on Koro Island was used as a server, and the virtual reality network covering the whole world was officially built. At that time, even if the virtual reality technology is fully opened, no one can stop the control of the future technology in this market.
Just like now, no country can get rid of the Internet. (To be continued.) )
