Volume 1, First Pot of Gold, Chapter 668, Suspension of Service?

Next chapter

In the user agreement, the Phantom Helmet sold by Futureman Technology, including a series of products such as God-level Continent and Virtual Reality Community, is based on the online service content provided by the quantum computer server. ∈↗，

If Mirin Technology stops providing VR services, the entire VR network will be disrupted. After everyone logged into the Phantom Helmet, they could only face the white cube that was as empty as a prison cell, and they wanted to cry in front of the application that could not be opened.

You can't even browse the web!

Want to restore your virtual reality network? Yes, let's go get a quantum computer first!

Companies like Futureman Technology, which makes both equipment and content, are playing tricks. It's quite scary to come. Are you investigating my device? Then I'll stop your content! When will the check be finished, and when will we open again.

If the Phantom Helmet could only be used to play games, Jiang Chen would definitely not dare to do so. It's just a game console, and if it's blocked, it's blocked, and it won't have any impact on the country. However, after a year of development, is the Phantom Helmet still just a "game console"?

Maybe a year ago it was, but certainly not now.

Since the launch of the virtual community function half a year ago, immersive virtual reality has moved from the field of gaming to people's socialization, life, and even work. Quite a few private companies have even used the virtual chat room feature as a tool for remote meetings. Many educational institutions use the guò virtual community for distance education......

In the course of a year, Americans have become accustomed to living in virtual reality. Spend more of the day with family and real-life friends, move the time spent online until you fall asleep, and connect your dreams with the virtual world. The next morning, I woke up from a deep sleep and went to work in full energy......

And now the future of people technology announced the suspension of virtual reality services, which means that these original habits will be broken.

As soon as the news came out, American netizens suddenly exploded!

Without virtual reality, many Americans even suffer from insomnia. When I go to sleep, I always feel that something is missing, I can fall asleep with the push of a switch, but now I have to lie in bed for a long time to brew the feeling. And some people really can't sleep, so they have to choose to put on a helmet, press the button, and face the pure white cube in a daze.

Life without virtual reality is simply torture!

And the U.S. Department of Justice, which initiated the antitrust investigation process, immediately became the target of public criticism!

"Falk Ministry of Justice bureaucrats, President Fark!"

"Throw protectionism in the trash! Go to the interests of his mother's capitalists! Give us the virtual reality! ”

"There's got to be a dirty deal behind this, and let's guess how much money Google is stuffing into the White House's 'hourly workers.'"

Google wanted to cry without tears, saying that I was really lying down and getting shot.

The White House is desperately trying to explain to the public that the antitrust investigation into Future Tech is reasonable. However, the lawyer of the Future People Group directly said that it is simply unheard of to conduct an antitrust investigation on a company that has been established for less than two years and has launched its products for less than a year.

Brown Creech, a representative of the Future Tech Lawyers Group, who is in charge of the lawsuit against the Justice Department, posted a tweet in which he teased his opponent with joking words.

"This is probably the most interesting case I have received in my more than ten years of practice. My customers haven't even digested the market share in their stomachs, and they are suspected of hindering other companies from entering the market? ”

The tweet attracted tens of thousands of retweets and even appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, causing a heated discussion on American talk shows.

Obviously, the American people are not buying the antitrust investigation of the US Department of Justice.

It can be said that the people of the Ministry of Justice are under great pressure to investigate and collect evidence and prepare for a lawsuit.

However, the matter is not over, with the help of future technology, all the disabled people's associations, black rights organizations, anti-discrimination fat associations and other messy organizations have jumped out and taken to the streets to protest.

"Putting on the Phantom Helmet, I saw the colors of the world for the first time, and although I knew it was fake, it was so real to me. I met my wife for the first time and although she was not as beautiful as I thought she was, I loved her...... And now I'm wearing a Phantom helmet and can only face the blank wall. Futureman technology has opened this window for me, and those powerful people have closed it for the sake of profit. A blind man who was born blind complained in front of the reporter's camera.

"I don't have to care about skin color in the virtual world, because I can change my skin to any color if I want. But you have deprived us of our rights, so we stand here and protest to you. "Someone who is keen on v. Said the black man who was right.

"Give us back the virtual reality! At least in the virtual world, no one cares about my weight, and no one calls me 'fat guy' behind my back! Or yelling and laughing at me: Hey, Cook, have you ever done a plane? How many tickets did they ask you to buy? It's not funny at all! A fat 400-pound man screamed at the door of the White House.

In this policy. In a country where the rule of law is higher than one qiē, if a disabled person stands up and points at the president's nose and scolds. Not only will the president have to pay compensation, but the media will also help scold. In a sense, this phenomenon is deformed. Some people even joked that the acceptance rate of black female Lala in the United States to find a job is extremely high, because once rejected, the company may be suspected of "discriminating against blacks, discriminating against women, and homophobic".

But there's no denying that most people are buying it. Although it is a bit far-fetched to associate virtual reality with discrimination, there is no way, the rhythm of the future people group is good.

Politics. Governing the right kidnapping government. Governance is a very American approach.

In the face of overwhelming public opinion, the Justice Department has to withstand pressure from the White House.

In this regard, Minister of Justice Eric Lynch had no choice but to pull down his face, talk to Jiang Chen on the phone, and said anxiously.

"Investigation is investigation, can you resume normal business first?"

Jiang Chenyan faced: "No! We actively cooperate with the judicial procedures of your country, and will never do anything illegal or undisciplined until we get rid of the suspicion of monopoly! ”

The unfortunate Minister of Justice was about to cry and explained: "The anti-monopoly investigation does not mean that you can't do business, as long as you suspend the sales of the Phantom Helmet in the United States!" ”

"No, you can't! The virtual reality network is also part of the future technology service project, in order to avoid interfering with the investigation and evidence collection, we are willing to take the initiative to suspend the business and make sacrifices to comply with the laws and regulations of your country! ”

Eric said angrily, "What kind of logic are you? Who asked you to make sacrifices! ”

Jiang Chen still had the same stern face, holding the phone and saying in a deep voice, "Please don't do this, Mr. Minister." We are a business, and suspending our services means losing money. At this point, we are definitely more anxious than you guys! We are waiting for your outcome, and we hope that you will be patient and wait for us to resume business. ”

Eric was dumbfounded.

This sun is still coming out of the west, when the business in turn gives way to the government. Is the government department patiently waiting? Isn't it up to us to say that?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"You're still laughing, now the sales of the Phantom Helmet in the United States are completely dead." Seeing Jiang Chen's unserious appearance, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but glance at him.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before sales explode." Jiang Chen made an explosive gesture, looked at her and smiled, "This virtual reality service closure is not only a pressure on the White House, but also a hype for our products. ”

"It's just that the advertising fee is a bit expensive."

"No way, who wants us to do it with the Boston consortium?" Jiang Chen made a helpless expression at Xia Shiyu.

"What I'm more worried about is that if the White House resists the pressure of public opinion, this antitrust lawsuit will be carried out to the end. It is we who lose more, after all, they are government agencies, and we are responsible for our own profits and losses. Xia Shiyu said with some hesitation.

"No way, because the Boston consortium is running out. The antitrust investigation started because of them, and as long as they admit defeat, the U.S. Department of Justice will not hold on any longer. Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

After a pause, Jiang Chen smiled and continued.

"And most importantly, there's no substitute for our products."

Even if this market is lost for a short time, it is impossible for someone to replace the technology of the future.

This is the real hole card that Jiang Chen relies on! (To be continued.) )
