Chapter 369: Efforts to Save the World

"So the helmet doesn't actually have as much of a function as you might think," Nick Anderson said, "and I couldn't have come up with a terminal that could directly connect a person's consciousness to the server in the first place." He touched his chin, "So it's not so much the online headset you envisioned as a large Google Glass." He smiled, "Google thought it was a big mistake for me to sell Google stock, and now they're starting to face up to my mistake." After the helmet caused a certain craze, Google couldn't wait to announce its own glasses plan, claiming that it was more convenient and comfortable than the helmet. ”

"I remember that glasses didn't seem to sell well either?"

"Yes, neither hardware nor software works." Nick Anderson pursed his lips, "In pursuit of ease of wearing and lightness, I have made a lot of sacrifices in hardware performance, and at the same time, the software is not enough to intelligently implement those functions, now it seems that the appearance of my helmet can help them speed up the progress of research and development and the determination to put into production." After all, my helmet only sells for $800. ”

"Huh? Can it pay for itself? ”

"Actually, this helmet now," Nick Anderson replied, "is still used to watch movies, and there's really an immersive feeling of watching movies in it." But the format of the film has to be transformed, after all, watching a movie with this helmet is like being in the movie, and he can turn his head freely, rather than just following the camera's point of view, which is the biggest selling point. "Nick. Anderson sighed, "Actually, this alone is very remarkable, and the visual optimization of other access networks to see the website is very limited, and if it can be completely adapted to the helmet, the design of the website must be specially made." Then it also supports video recording, phone calls, web chats, and so on. But I don't think anyone will walk down the street wearing this helmet. Oh, and one more plus is the battery life, which definitely beats Google Glass. ”

"So you're also facing the problem of not being practical?"

"Oh, of course not." Nick Anderson denied it, "You know what? "In fact, many of the films in the Columbia library have already started to be converted to the format, and at that time. If they can watch a movie in this format with a helmet, I'm sure they'll definitely find it worth the money, it's definitely much better than any home theater projection, Imax, 3D and the like, it's absolutely immersive, as if you're one of the movie, and you can see the scene outside the camera lens when you turn your head to look left and right. ”

Shen Zhenghui's mouth opened wide.

"Especially your 6-part Apprentice of Magic," Nick Anderson said. "Anyone willing to spend $800 on a helmet wouldn't mind spending an extra $100 on a set of Apprentices in Magic hexalogy, in a personal immersive format. I can vouch for the fact that while the regular format of the movie can also be watched with a headset, the personal immersive format version definitely makes them feel that it is worth the money. ”

"You are so confident," Shen Zhenghui licked his lips, "Of course, you have spared no effort to support Miss Mason." ”

"It's kind of cooperation." Nick. Anderson said seriously, "With this thing. It's going to make waves in the film industry, and other companies are definitely begging me to help them make their way to immersive formats. This is definitely not a big income for my personal assets, but also a new income for this industry. ”

"Aha, you know what?" Shen Zhenghui cleared his throat, "In the financial crisis, the best performance may be the film industry." ”

"yes," Nick Anderson pursed his lips. "So you have to thank me even more." He looked at Shen Zhenghui with interest, "You want the authorization code of the format conversion technology?" "So you can distribute your own format in East Asia to meet the needs of the people there, and at the same time, you can import and export on par with Hollywood." ”

Shen Zhenghui showed an expression of disbelief. "Are you serious? What do we have to give? ”

"You're still too unclear on that," Nick Anderson smiled confidently, "you should go back and ask Mitsumi Fukuda," he said, "I don't believe you have zero technical reserves in this area." ”

"Even so, I am amazed at your internationalist spirit." Shen Zhenghui said, "What do we have to give? ”

"Of course I'll offer terms that are good for both of us, and you don't have to worry about that." Nick Anderson looks confident.

"You're in a very different state now than when you were in Japan." Shen Zhenghui pouted, "Could it be that your god suddenly told you that he wasn't going to flood?" ”

"It has nothing to do with it," Nick. "Now," he said, "I'll survive even if there is a flood at once, but did I tell you that it was a flood?" ”

Shen Zhenghui was about to answer when his phone rang, and after seeing who it was, he made an apologetic gesture to Nick Anderson. Nick Anderson naturally responded with a gesture that didn't mind, and walked to the corner with Shen Zhenghui to answer the call.

After a while, he walked back, "as planned," he said, "and I'm going back to get ready for the film." ”

"Oh? I thought you'd stay a few more days and talk to me about the future of Movie World! Nick Anderson blinked, "You might understand why I chose a Japanese company as a collaborator." ”

Shen Zhenghui looked at him, and when he saw the corner of his mouth showing a smile that all men understand, he couldn't help but shudder, "This, in fact, President Mitsumi Fukuda will come to the United States to talk to you in person." He pursed his lips, "So I'm going to get back to work soon." ”

"Oh, what a pity." Nick Anderson stood up and shook hands with Shen Zhenghui, "I think it's easier to communicate with a man about this kind of thing." ”

"This idea of yours reminds me of a very old science fiction movie, I forgot the name. There's a 3D projector that can show 3D portraits in the real world, and then one of the supporting characters gets to watch the beautiful girls handjob from the projector. ”

"Oh, I seem to have an impression too." Nick Anderson laughed, "You can give it a try, I think it's definitely a lot cooler than the 3D projection in the movie." He handed Shen a packaged helmet, "Sample," he said, "and it's already stocked with your Hollywood films, the six-part Apprentice of Magic, as well as Hurricane Rescue and New Police Story, that you can enjoy on the plane." ”

"I always think it's a little weird to look at my own work." Shen Zhenghui took the helmet and said, "Can you give me a few more?" I think my staff needs this stuff a lot. ”

"It's going to be on sale in Tokyo soon," Nick Anderson said, "and I've got hundreds of them in stock for you." "Straight to Tokyo." ”

"How much do you have in stock now?" Shen Zhenghui asked, "How much are you going to put in Japan?" What about China? ”

"It's not much, it's about 200,000 units now, and our factory in the United States is mainly for assembly, and a large number of parts are produced in China or Indonesia." He spread his hands, "With time, the cost has dropped very quickly, a year ago the cost alone was $800, and now it leaves me at least $100 in profit, but, you know, the most profitable thing about this kind of thing is obviously not the hardware itself." ”

"Yes." Shen Zhenghui nodded and looked at the helmet in his hand again. This helmet is not fully enclosed, in fact, with the exception of the module that covers the eyes, he looks more like a motorcycle helmet than an armor helmet with the whole head tucked in.

"Actually, I don't doubt at all that any young people will wear it on the streets." "You should worry about a lot of traffic accidents. ”

"This requires our lawyers to think about how to write the product instructions." Nick Anderson replied, and then he asked, "Don't you really want to feel it?" ”

"I'll talk about this when I get back to my room alone."

"You really understand," Nick Anderson snapped his fingers, "I left a surprise for you in the memory, I hope you like it." He smiled, "That may be the most powerful weapon to open up the Japanese market, and maybe even help the Japanese out of the economic crisis." ”

"The way the Japanese will get out of the economic crisis in the future is by the depreciation of the yen." Shen Zhenghui replied, "This is something that took them more than twenty years to figure out. ”

"It's late, isn't it?"

"Sort of, indeed."

Nick Anderson smiled again, "In the future, the hope of the Japanese to pull the economy is all on you." ”

"Oh, I'm so stressed."

"It's okay, it's going to flood anyway." Nick Anderson's expression was full of meaning, and he asked politely, "Do you need me to book your plane ticket for you?" ”

"Thanks, but Angela should have ordered it for me."

"Oh, really?" Nick Anderson patted his forehead, "I forgot she's your subordinate now." ”

"It's a partner." Shen Zhenghui emphasized.

"Good news," Angela. At this time, Mason pushed the door and walked in, "There's a big man's plane that is going to Japan, you can take her plane by the way." ”

"When you say big people, don't you mean ......" Shen Zhenghui glanced at the silent TV showing on the side, "Hilla-Clinton? "Television is reporting Hillary's upcoming visit to Japan.

"When she heard that you were going back to Japan, she warmly invited you to go with her." Angela Mason said.

"You happened to tell her about me?"

"Oh, I'm going to visit Japan with her too." Angela Mason responded, "You know, some business deals about Hollywood. Everyone thinks it's better for me to come forward. ”

Shen Zhenghui patted his head vigorously, "It's really a headache." He said, "Can I refuse her and buy a civil aviation ticket?" ”

Nick Anderson shook his head from the side, "It's better not to." He said. (To be continued......)
