Chapter 971: Domineering President Fangzheng
In the next period of time, what Fang is doing is to acquire a completely stealth technology company, and he has a total of three goals.
First of all, the electronics company "ARGUS", which developed and manufactured the complete stealth device "NERvGear", plummeted after the outbreak of the Death Game incident, not only spent a lot of money to deal with the large-scale litigation and compensation of the victims, but also caused the board of directors to resign en masse because of this incident, and the stock also fell directly, if it is not completely resolved because of the Death Game incident, I am afraid that the only way out for ARGUS is to file for bankruptcy protection.
In this regard, Founder naturally unceremoniously ate all the ARGUS shares sold in the stock market and became the company's veritable largest shareholder. Of course, the current ARGUS is basically surviving, but for Founder, what he needs is an integration force, and it just so happens that ARGUS has enough popularity and is also suitable for use as a basic plate for development.
Next up was the general electronics company "RECT" that launched "NERvGear", and when the complete stealth game device was launched, because it saw this market, RECT also spent a lot of money to obtain the exclusive sales rights of "NERvGear", and as a result, as soon as the death game incident broke out, so much money was suddenly wasted.
Not only that, but the government also seized all RECT stocks, which also caused it to suffer a lot of losses. Although RECT, as an integrated electronics company, did not completely collapse like ARGUS, because their original goal was to build Completely Stealth into the company's next well-known brand, they invested all their main resources in it, resulting in a shortage of funds and a poor turnover.
What's more, just some time ago, Nobuyuki Sugo, the head of the operations department of RECT, died in a car accident, and not only that, but when sorting out the relics, the police also found that he had plans and behaviors to use RECT's SAO backup server to try to imprison players for brain control and manipulation.
As soon as this incident was exposed, it immediately caused an uproar in public opinion. Originally, the death game had already stirred up the nerves of the public, but it was revealed that there were people trying to use this device to control other people's brains, which also made RECT's stock fall all the way, and it was difficult to be a brother with ARGUS.
Fang Zheng was deeply sympathetic to this, so he gave RECT a three-second silence, and then directly ate all the shares sold by the other party again.
If ARGUS and RECT deserve to be unlucky, then SAO's game production company "EagleJump" was shot while lying down.
As the first production company to fully stealth the game, EagleJump originally intended to make the company famous and then go global with this game. As a result, as soon as the death game incident came out, no one dared to buy their games anymore, although the entire complete stealth system was designed by Akihiko Kayaba, and the EJ company was nothing more than a game production company, but who told them to make monsters and bosses that really killed people?
Ordinary people don't understand this problem, in their opinion, this game is made by the EJ club, so the monster in the game kills people, which is equivalent to the EJ club kills people......... Although in terms of legal proceedings, EJ did not encounter the same trouble as the first two, but it was also a constant protest, from time to time there were people holding signs below to protest, making the whole company panic, and many employees chose to leave, and even the president himself considered wanting to sell the company, so Founder took direct action and took EJ down.
That's all there is to capitalism, as long as you have money, nothing is impossible.
But there are some things that cannot be done with money alone.
The basis of all this is complete stealth technology, but the complete stealth technology was developed by Kayaba Jinghiko, with his own death, the progress of the technology development department has almost come to a standstill, although it is not impossible to say that Fang Zheng himself will do it, but for Fang Zheng, who wants to save mankind or the world at every turn, he has no extra time to develop any completely stealth machinery and equipment here.
But fortunately, Founder also found a very strong candidate.
That is Toru βββShigemura, a professor of electrical and electronic engineering at Toto University of Technology.
"So......... Would you like me to join ARGUS and develop the next generation of AR technology? β
In reality, Shigemura Teru Dai is an old man in his fifties with a serious face, he sits behind the sofa, and a pair of sharp eyes are staring at the square in front of him.
"That's right."
Fang Zheng nodded.
"While it's fun to be completely stealthy, and I admit it, it's enough to change the fate and future of humanity, and in the fields of medicine, the military, and so on, perhaps VR has an incomparable advantage. But on the civilian side, I think AR is a better option. β
Fang Zheng naturally has his reasons for saying this, just look at the group of humans in the world of the Matrix who tried to digitize their entire soul and then become gods and finally failed, and could only lie in a dormant chamber and wander around the galaxy. He didn't want the Earth of this world to be like that.
In terms of scientific progress, Fang Zheng belongs to a very conservative category, especially after seeing the consequences of various deformed technology trees caused by the development of science and technology in many worlds, he is extremely cautious about the development of science and technology, VR can make people go to another world, but on the contrary, from a social point of view, VR is like a drug, it makes people addicted to a false world, in the long run, don't say that the country will not be a country, and it is not impossible for people to be people.
If it weren't for this death game incident, maybe in a few years, Founder would no longer be able to see walking humans on the streets, one NERvGear per capita, lying in the room like the walking dead, socializing, teaching, everything is done in the virtual world, no one cares about the real world anymore, the whole city is like a huge ICU, in which countless vegetative people sleep......... Just imagining this scene, the square hairs are going to stand on end!
"After investigating, I know that Professor Shigemura is an expert in studying BMI (non-invasive brain-computer interface), so I hope you will join us and wish us a helping hand."
After the acquisition of "ARGUS", "RECT" and "EJ", Founder will hire a professional manager and integrate it into a new electronic information technology company, named "CyberConnect Corporation", referred to as "CC Company".
And the nascent CC Club needs a fist product that can eliminate the shadow of the "game of death", and it also needs a brand new game.
That's why Founder is here.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Let me think about it. β
Shigemura seemed to be a little moved, but he still didn't make up his mind immediately, but after thinking for a while, he gave an answer.
"This is my business card, if you are interested, you can contact me directly."
Fang Zheng didn't force it, after all, it would take a while for these plans to be implemented, but then again, doing this kind of work in this world was quite enjoyable for Fang Zheng. Although he now has the power to save the world, Fang Zheng still misses his work and life before he was reborn.
In the Overworld, he couldn't find a place to make games, but in this world, Founder could fulfill his dreams.
After all, he's still a game producer at heart!
The rebirth of the forward world technology has not yet developed to the point of AR, and he can only make mobile games, but now...............
AR Krypton Games? It's all good to think about!
Thinking that he could happily harvest the joy and pain of the players, Fang Zheng was a little impatient.
The two of them talked a few words, then stood up and left the reception room, but just as Professor Shigemura saw Fang Zheng away, suddenly, a young girl walked up from the other side of the hallway.
"Daddy!"
"Yona!"
Seeing the girl in front of him, Professor Shigemura's expression immediately became much softer, and he took a few steps forward and hurriedly grabbed the hand of the girl named Yuna.
"Why are you here? Your body ........."
"It's okay, it's okay, my body is much better."
In the face of Professor Shigemura's inquiry, the girl smiled and made a "strong" posture.
"Look, Daddy, I can get here by myself now. Moreover, the doctor also told me to exercise more, didn't he? β
"That's what I said, but you ........."
Saying this, Professor Shigemura patted his head, then turned his head to look at Fang Zheng.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fangzheng, this is the little girl Yuna........."
"Yona .........?"
Hearing Professor Shigemura's introduction, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and at this time, I saw that the girl was also curious to poke her head out of Professor Shigemura's side and look at Fang Zheng.
"Mr. Founder! It's Mr. Founder! β
"Wait, this voice, you're ........."
Hearing the girl's cry of surprise, Fang Zheng frowned and looked at her carefully again.
"Yuna?"
"That's right, it's me! Mr. Fangzheng, I didn't expect to meet you in reality, it's so good! β
With the sound of cheers, the next moment I saw Youna just throw himself into Fang Zheng's arms and hugged him tightly.
And at this moment, behind Yuna, Professor Shigemura's face was already a black line.
