Chapter 079: Year-end press conference
The purpose of media reporters here is very simple, naturally to interview the headquarters building worth 5 billion yuan, and the builders are to compete for this big order worth 5 billion yuan.
However, the final result of these two groups of people was all to take advantage of the excitement and return to failure, because the company did not plan to be interviewed by the media, and at the same time, when signing the contract with the Jiangcheng city government, the two parties had already agreed that the construction company would be a state-owned construction company in the city.
When the Jiangcheng city government proposed this construction, to be honest, they didn't plan that Wang Xiao would accept it, after all, compared with other construction companies, the state-owned construction enterprise in the city had no other advantages except for the low price, but unexpectedly, Wang Xiao only hesitated a little and agreed to this condition, it can be said that the Jiangcheng city government even had a feeling of flattery at that time.
Wang Xiao naturally did not choose the city's construction company because of the cost, after all, five billion yuan was spent, even if the other party saved, how much could be saved, Wang Xiao considered that the headquarters building he was about to build in his original plan did not have so many high-tech elements, and even deliberately suppressed many high-tech elements, he only needed the builder to build a model house, so as long as the qualifications were enough, it didn't matter which construction company he chose.
And the reason why Wang Xiao deliberately reduced those elements that seem very tall now, is naturally because he has just upgraded and can conjure products that are higher than an era in modern society at any time, and he is confident that he will improve the scientific and technological level of the whole world in the next few years.
Therefore, even if some so-called high-tech devices are installed now, I am afraid that it will not be a few years before they find it outdated, so instead of spending more money now, it is better to wait for the next step, after all, if you can go out by plane, no one will choose to ride a bicycle.
The construction company in the city moved quickly, and the day after the contract was signed, it began to send staff to the wasteland to prepare the foundation, and at the same time, the seedlings purchased by Dao Technology were also continuously transported.
Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Wang Xiao came here many times under the pretext of inspecting the progress, and then used the magic power to transform a high-tech plant hormone in the pool of the irrigation system.
This plant hormone has no other role than to ripen and allow any plant to get the maximum growth in the shortest amount of time.
As a result, without others noticing, those seedlings quickly became taller, thicker, and more lush......
Time flies, and a few months pass in a flash.
Summer is quietly gone, winter is slowly coming, and despite Jiangcheng's location in the south, the cold air still makes the pedestrians on the street change into thick winter clothes.
On December 16th, the second new product launch conference of Daodao Technology was officially held.
As for the content of this press conference, under the early publicity of Daodao Technology, it has been familiar to many people, especially those game lovers.
As a loyal user of "Stupid Birds Fly First" and "Angry Birds", Sun Che doesn't know when he started paying attention to Dao Technology, but he believes that even if he doesn't pay attention to Dao Technology, he will know about the upcoming new game "Temple Run" of Dao Technology, because there are too many posters for this game.
"The world's first parkour game!"
"A game that takes you on a journey from all over the world."
"A game that will keep you hooked."
"A game joined by Liu Mimi, the goddess of the side face."
“……”
You think these are player reviews?
No, these are advertising slogans.
Yes, there aren't any pictures or videos related to the game, and all the descriptions about the game are just text.
To be honest, when this text-only advertising method was proposed, Wang Xiao almost thought that the newly appointed vice president of marketing, Zhang Xinyi, was going to resign, after all, even a child knows that it is now an eyeball society, how can advertising attract the audience's attention, and what is this kind of text-only advertising?
However, in the face of Wang Xiao's doubts, Zhang Xinyi insisted on this promotion method very much, and confirmed very firmly that this was the best advertisement made after many relevant advertising experts discussed.
And now it seems that the effect is very good, at least Sun Che has heard some people discussing information related to the escape of the temple on the way to the press conference.
"Temple Run...... The game synchronized at the mobile phone, PC, and console ends, whether it is a gimmick or a real material, depends on the press conference later. ”
Standing at the door of the press conference, looking at the big text advertisements on both sides, Sun Che thought with both expectation and worry.
……
"Hello everyone, first of all, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our new product launch conference."
With the experience of the previous two press conferences, Wang Xiao is now very calm when he stands on the stage again, and after a simple opening sentence is said by Wang Xiao's unusually confident voice, he will settle the venue lightly.
"Alas......"
Backstage, seeing Wang Xiao's calm and calm appearance, Zhang Xinyi couldn't help but let out a sigh.
After Shen Bingyu on the side heard this sigh, she suddenly felt a hint of joy in her heart for some reason, but she still asked with doubts on her face: "Xinyi, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that I feel that Mr. Wang has changed so much in the past six months."
Zhang Xinyi had a complicated expression on her face.
Just a few months ago, when Wang Xiao stood on the stage for the first time, Zhang Xinyi also planned to confess to Wang Xiao, because she felt that Wang Xiao fully met her requirements for her future boyfriend and even husband in all aspects, but before she could act, Angry Birds suddenly became popular, so she didn't care about these personal feelings, she traveled around the world every day.
And when she was a little more relaxed and ready to confess again, Wang Xiao directly launched three revolutionary advanced technologies of facial recognition, voice recognition, and motion capture, and then quickly became a new rich man with a value of tens of billions, which made Zhang Xinyi have to think about how Wang Xiao would look at her once she confessed.
After all, when Wang Xiao had not succeeded, she confessed that she was optimistic about Wang Xiao's future, but when Wang Xiao confessed after he had succeeded, it had to make people doubt her motives.
Therefore, under this hesitant mentality, Wang Xiao held a new product launch conference for the third time.
As one of the company's top executives, Zhang Xinyi has 10,000 confidence that after this new product launch conference, Wang Xiao's net worth will rise again, and the more this is the case, the more Zhang Xinyi will dare not confess.
Of course, Shen Bingyu understood the implicit meaning of Zhang Xinyi's words, but she would not persuade Zhang Xinyi to confess to Wang Xiao, so she just echoed: "Yes, in fact, how can the changes in our company be smaller?" ”
"Alas......"
Zhang Xinyi naturally didn't know what Shen Bingyu was thinking, but she just looked at Wang Xiao's confident and upright figure on the stage and sighed softly, she knew that she was getting farther and farther away from Wang Xiao.
……
On the stage, Wang Xiao still calmly continued to host.
"I think you already know a little bit about what we're going to do at this event before you come here – Temple Run and Game Consoles."
Wang Xiao said with a smile, "Regarding the Temple Run, I think what everyone is most curious about is what kind of game it is, and what is it called a parkour game...... As for the 'Asgard Game Console' we launched, everyone is most concerned about its performance, and in addition to Temple Run, there are several masterpieces on it......"
After hearing Wang Xiao's words, the audience couldn't help but let out a buzzing discussion in their ears.
When the discussion became a little quieter, Wang Xiao took out his mobile phone directly from his pocket and said to everyone: "Let's be honest, do you think our advertising words are suspected of being false and exaggerated?" ”
"Yes!"
"Obviously!"
"It's too exaggerated!"
Hearing Wang Xiao's inquiry, some game lovers in the audience couldn't help but coax.
Hearing the ridicule of the audience, the smile on Wang's face disappeared instantly, and he said to the security guard at the door with a stern face: "Staff, can you please take out the friends who just spoke?" Bother! ”
"Haha......"
Hearing Wang Xiao's words, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hehe, okay, let's stop the joke first, in fact, what I want to say is that our game, especially the console version of Temple Run, is really not exaggerated, it just describes the pictures in the game truthfully."
Hearing Wang Xiao say this, the audience suddenly booed again, because no one believed that what Wang Xiao said was true.
You must know that even today's most advanced graphics cards can't 100% restore the real world, but the console version of the Temple Escape advertisement says that it can give the audience a real world, how can this not make everyone disbelieve?
"I'm going to blast them out, you see!"
Wang Xiao became stricter again and complained to the security guard.
Naturally, the crowd laughed again.
Wang Xiao naturally just talked, waiting for everyone to laugh, and then continued: "There is a saying on the Internet that I think is very reasonable, there is no picture and no truth, then, everyone, please look at the picture!" ”
As he spoke, the big screen behind Wang Xiao suddenly changed, and a spectacular picture of the primeval jungle appeared on the screen.
"This ......"
"No, this is the original image of the game?"
"yes, it can't be taken with a digital camera, right?"
"How is it possible, if this is the original picture of the game, then other console manufacturers won't be able to survive?"
"Well, although you can still tell that the photo is a little fake, but seriously, unless you look closely, you really can't tell if it's real or fake."
The game lovers in the audience immediately burst into a huge discussion after seeing this picture, and there was only one topic of discussion, that is, the authenticity of this picture, whether it was the original picture of the game.
"It seems that everyone is still a little confused, so please continue to look at the picture."
Wang Xiao said again with a smile.
Then, some delicate landscape pictures appeared on the screen behind him, including mountains, plains, forests, meadows, spring light, and winter snow, but no matter what the scene was, every picture here was enough to make it difficult to tell whether it was the original game or the real thing.
"Well, after reading these pictures, I think you may say, well, even if your painting of the landscape has reached the point of being fake, but what about people, what about the treatment of portraits, because the treatment of the changes in the light and shadow of people's skin is the most difficult thing to express in the game."
Wang Xiao spread his hands and asked, "Everyone must think so, right?" ”
"Yes!"
After the first few jokes, everyone already knew that Wang Xiao seemed to be a person who liked to joke very much, so they started to coax one after another.
"I'll just say it, I'll let you blast out these people who don't give me face!"
Sure enough, Wang Xiao complained to the security guard again, "I will definitely change companies for the next security work, I promise!" ”
Seeing that Wang Xiao, a big boss with a net worth of tens of billions, was still so arrogant, the audience naturally felt very cordial and gave good-natured laughter, and even some people had already whistled and applauded.
Many netizens who watched the live broadcast of Shendao Technology also laughed when they saw this, and some female netizens even commented on the live broadcast platform, announcing that Wang Xiao had officially become a new generation of male gods.
However, no matter what everyone commented, their attention was always on the previous question, that is, the console version of Temple Run, or the Asgard game console, how far did the treatment of portrait light and shadow reach?
In addition to game enthusiasts, there are two other types of people who are particularly concerned about this issue: game developers and console manufacturers.
The focus of game developers is naturally on the performance of this game console called "Asgard Console", if the Asgard console can also achieve the scenery of the portrait processing, then it naturally means that their own games will also get a better game experience on this console, and the sense of substitution will be higher, and even after some additional processing, the game video can also reach the level of CG movies!
This is a great temptation for any game manufacturer that is hard to refuse.
As for the console manufacturers, it is naturally Microsoft and Sony, as the most direct competitors, the better the table of the Asgard game console, the greater the crisis for them.
To be honest, the two companies who secretly paid attention to this press conference, when they saw the pixel rendering effect of the original image of the game just now, their hearts were already half cold, because this level of pixel rendering is not what game consoles should have, even some Hollywood CG movie special effects companies are just this kind of effect.
And once the Asgard game console's portrait processing can also achieve this kind of process, then it will definitely be a bolt from the blue for xboxone and PS4.
Therefore, these two game console manufacturers are also all holding their breath at this time, paying attention to the original pictures of the character games that Wang Xiao will release next.
In the limelight, Wang Xiao pressed the operation button in his hand with a faint smile on his face, and the picture on the big screen also changed suddenly, and a plump figure appeared on the screen......
