Chapter 243: The End Is Coming

The difficulty of the virtual pod is much easier than that of the virtual helmet.

After all, on the drawings, several plans that can be expanded have been given. All they had to do was assemble the wiring and put it in a different container. It's not an impossible task for them.

Compared to the simplicity and convenience of virtual helmets, the virtual cabin is much more bloated. As a result, it is only less difficult to create him than a virtual helmet. Of course, it will not take less time. After all, the virtual cabin is for the rich to use, and this precious material or something is naturally smashed upwards vigorously.

There are many materials, although it is not difficult, but the time required to manufacture a virtual cabin can be used to make hundreds of virtual helmets. This also led to the fact that Li Hong never thought of treating the virtual cabin as a mainstream product at the beginning.

The high price is only a little better than the virtual headset, which is enough to turn the vast majority of customers away. Their main focus is still on the virtual helmet.

"Sir, is there any difference between this virtual pod and your virtual helmet?" A reporter asked curiously.

Mark said with some embarrassment: "Of course, the technology used by the two is basically different. However, we take into account that some users may not like the headset as much. Therefore, we have specially customized this virtual cabin to meet the needs of most consumers......"

Although I understand that this thing is actually selling a forced style, the real technology is actually the same. But Mark was a brilliant salesman, and he quickly blew the useless virtual pod to the ground.

Of course, not everyone believes Mark's nonsense. What kind of virtual cabin is this, it is clearly a special version of a virtual helmet for the entertainment of the rich, and you can't let those rich people wear a stupid helmet like salted fish, right?

The special craftsmanship mentioned by Mark, and even the application of luxury-grade materials, confirmed their suspicions.

So, after the noise, no one paid attention to this seemingly tall virtual cabin anymore.

This thing is obviously expensive, pointing to the big culprits, they are not the customer group of this kind of virtual cabin.

Although they were envious of the features mentioned by Mark such as the stronger experience and more comfortable use, they also knew that this was not something they could afford.

Compared with the virtual cabin, which they can't afford at first glance, the virtual helmet's affordable appearance and more portable and pocket-sized features make them feel more novel.

……

As the saying goes, there are no absolute secrets in the age of the Internet, and the same is true for journalism.

When the news of the launch of the virtual helmet came out, in less than ten minutes, major media around the world reposted the news.

The virtual era has arrived! 》

This thrilling title has really attracted the attention of many people.

When they read the report and learned that thousands of miles away in the mysterious East, an inconspicuous small company had developed an epoch-making virtual platform, and everyone was boiling!

This is not the case with the advent of the Internet era, when the Internet was in its infancy, although there were already many people with excellent vision who discovered the prospects for the future. But more people still don't believe that the Internet will lead the next era.

But the virtual world is different, as long as this thing can really be realized, then the next era is destined to be the protagonist of the virtual world.

Everyone can imagine what the world will look like when the virtual world appears. This is not as false as the concept of the future that can only be sold when the Internet is born, but something that can be seen in reality.

Some people are crying, they are entrepreneurs in the Internet or technology industry. As they were ready to create a new look for the Internet, the Internet era came to an end.

Some people laughed, and most of them were ordinary people who liked technology. They originally thought that the concept of virtual world would not make any progress for at least 20 years. I didn't expect that so soon, there would already be a breakthrough in practical projects.

Some people are crazy, most of them are shareholders and have invested in a lot of shares in technology companies. Technology companies, including Internet companies, are mostly blowing bubbles, obviously not worth so much money, but they are still blowing up their market value with things that have not yet been realized in the future. But as soon as the virtual world came out, the bright future they constructed was completely in vain......

Now, it's all over!

The last rays of the Internet age spilled over the earth, and the whole planet boiled.

The NASDAQ, known as the most high-profile place in the Internet era, was quick to respond to the market.

The Nasdaq index, which has been rising every year since the '08 financial crisis, attracted a small increase on January 9, 2018, even before the opening ceremony of CES.

7261.06!

The last remnants of the Internet era stopped at 7261.06.

Then the news of the virtual helmet came out, and the panic in the market began to spread. Everyone knows that Intel is finished, Microsoft is finished, and all enterprises in the Internet industry are almost finished......

A huge sell-off appeared on the market, and the stocks of well-known companies that were previously enviable. At this moment, like a cabbage at dusk, desperately belittled itself in order to sell it.

【AAPL】$150 1,000,000 lots sell order hangs out!

The market is almost going crazy, and no one knows about AAPL, but you know, it's Apple's ticker symbol. This also means that the bookmaker behind Apple is starting to leave!

INTC、MSFT、GOOGL、AMZN、FB……

Names that were once glorious on the NASDAQ, Intel, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, ......

If someone had sold a large number of shares at a low price before that, someone would have called them stupid. But now, if you can sell it, who cares about the price?

U.S. stocks are a T+0 mechanism, and you can sell them on the same day you buy them. Although there is a circuit breaker mechanism, that is, the funds sold arrive in the account three days later. But this circuit breaker mechanism, in this magnificent selling frenzy, can hardly make a wave.

ChinaAMC A-shares are not without Internet companies, but they have long since fallen to the limit and ended the turmoil smoothly.

The wave of U.S. stocks is still ongoing. Americans are very good at investing, and they would rather have no money on them, even owe a lot of money to the bank, and have to buy two stocks to crush the shock.

Until then, the Internet has been a highly sought-after focal point. One can imagine how many Americans are caught up in it.

The Nasdaq was already in disarray, and Nasdaq Chairman Adana Friedman received a warning from his aides before he even had time to apply to the president for a closure.

"Sir, you have privately bought a lot of shares of Internet companies, and if you don't take the opportunity to sell them, you will lose a lot of money."

"If you don't stop the market, the United States will be finished." Adana Friedman said bitterly, holding her head.

The assistant is her distant cousin, and she has very beautiful blonde hair.

"What does it have to do with us when America is finished? Just don't let your own investment take a loss. She said playfully.

Adana Friedman took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "You're right, it's okay for me to finish America." Okay, you hurry up and help me sell all the stocks in my hand, even if the means are not honorable. Immediately after the sale, I applied to the president to suspend the market! ”

"Yes, sir!" The assistant slumped out of Adana Friedman's office in her high heels.
