[Chapter 312: The Pioneers]

Yosuke Matsuda's words undoubtedly brought great vibration to the head of Kemele. The world is indeed about to change again, a surging new tide is coming towards all mankind with its unparalleled momentum, and the decline of Sony is the tears of the times, a typical representative of the unresponsiveness peculiar to giants. And last Yuejing is very clear that Comele cannot compete with such a former supergiant, even if Sony has now declined, Comele is still nothing in front of it.

In fact, the giants are not lacking in vigilance, on the contrary, they can see a clearer future than anyone else, but most of the giants have fallen into unresponsiveness, because the transformation is the most painful, the most difficult to accept and unwilling to face for the giants, and it is inevitable to take measures under caution. There are also countless examples of small companies that do not have the troubles of giants, but are easier to transform and seize opportunities to become rising upstarts.

The game industry's Comera is the best example of this, and it all depends on the vision and courage of its owner.

After virtual reality VR games, the next big wave of the industry's recognized "ninth art" is virtual games. Every practitioner knows this, but everyone doesn't know that this most turbulent wave is coming so fast, they don't even think about it, they don't even think they can witness it in their lifetime, but it just comes so quickly, so real, that everyone doesn't expect it.

All were not ready.

Despite this, Shangyuejing was facing the advice of his compatriots, and in an instant, he suddenly woke up. It's not just Comele that has come to a crossroads, but also industry giants such as EA, Capcom, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Blizzard Entertainment, and the entire game industry, while Comele and the five game companies acquired by Matrix Technology have advantages that other developers do not have.

Namely: an unbeatable first-mover advantage.

And this advantage does not say how much the five companies can achieve, and even become the rising upstarts. As long as the person at the helm is not Elm Head, at least under the impact of this great wave, there is no problem in surviving and maintaining his current position in the future.

"Thank you Matsuda-kun, I know what to do." Shangyue Jingzheng said very gratefully. In just a few words, he has already begun to make up his mind in his heart for the transformation of the entire Kemele.

Shang Yuejing said solemnly to Ren Hong, who was speechless: "Ren Jun, although the parent company has given up its operational interference and voting rights to Kemele, I made a solemn commitment with the current president of Kemele that any suggestions issued by the parent company will be included in the first priority. ”

Last month, Jingzheng was the first to show loyalty, followed by Yosuke Matsuda. When several Americans heard this, they suddenly scolded in their hearts, and these two scheming immediately expressed their positions.

When Ren Hong heard this, he looked down at the floor and smiled silently, he walked a few steps with his arms crossed, but he didn't answer immediately.

The so-called expression of loyalty seems to be quite exciting, but just as the Americans secretly curse in their hearts, the two said that they are really scheming. The so-called first priority is only the first priority, if last month Jingzheng said that he agreed to the intervention of Matrix Technology in the operation of Kemer, in other words, to give up the right to vote, Ren Hong may look at him differently, but this is not the case.

Sure enough, the "wild" is still "wild" after all, far less than the "own son".

After a short period of silence, Ren Hong said to everyone: "You have a clear idea, Matrix Technology is a virtual world, and you are a virtual game, and virtual games are only a small part of the virtual world. He accentuated his tone a little in the last sentence, and when they heard it, they immediately understood the meaning, and the implication was to tell them that you are not only not irreplaceable, but also insignificant.

"Matrix Technology is all about making games." Ren Hong smiled flatly: "The entire virtual world is a game, and all the participants are players, including you, you make games in the game, and players play games in the game." ”

The five people looked at each other without saying a word. It's true, the whole virtual world is a huge simulation game in itself, but this game is so different.

Matrix Technology did not create a game, but created the most realistic virtual game world, because the participants in this game world are all players, and the virtual games made by game developers, the vast majority of which are NPCs, are essentially strictly defined as no difference, they are all games, but in essence they are completely different, because the participants are different.

One is the real "players" participating, and the other is only a tiny fraction of the "players" participating.

"Mr. Ren." Yevis said: "So what do we do? Please give us some advice, you know, we know almost nothing, we have no imagination, we desperately want to make our heads come true, but we don't even know how to make a virtual game, make it happen. ”

When Ren Hong heard this, he smiled and said: "My suggestion to you is to bring your core game production team to the company's headquarters, Matrix Technology will set up a temporary department, and at the same time, the company will be responsible for providing the venue, and you will each set up a new studio and relocate to the headquarters of the parent company." ”

"In the future, after the official launch of the virtual world, the content production platform will be open source to the whole world, and perhaps in the future, there will be a new career system, that is, a new professional system that specializes in teaching people how to produce content on the new platform of the virtual world. But now, the relevant staff of Matrix Technology will teach your game development team how to make games on the virtual world platform, and with this skill, you can transfer your Zhenshan Treasure to the virtual world platform, or other new ideas and so on. ”

Everyone who suddenly realized nodded silently, if you use the thinking of a gamer to understand, Matrix Technology is still the first party to do the game, that is, the creation of the hardware platform. However, the biggest difference with "Microsoft Xbox" and "Sony PS" is that the first two are only for gamers, while the platform of Matrix Technology is for the whole world, and games are only a small part of this virtual ecosystem.

The virtual world platform of Matrix Technology is to do business for all mankind around the world. Just thinking about it, Yevis and the others felt dizzy, and now they think of a non-disclosure agreement signed not long ago that they can't redeem for ten lifetimes, and Ren Hong's claim of at least $500 billion in investment, now in retrospect, it doesn't feel very exaggerated.

Ren Hong continued: "As the first batch of pioneers, the so-called pioneers have to assume the role of paving the way and the founder, which is undoubtedly difficult, and the latecomers will be easier than you, because they are not like your inexperienced exploration. So they will give very little, and you will give a lot. But you also get more because of it, first of all, the first mover advantage, and secondly, as a trailblazer, you will have more of an advantage, the first to eat the crab, and you don't have to worry about getting hurt. Your analgesia and serious injuries mean failure for me and my parent company, and I will not tolerate failure, and I will never fail. ”

Ren Hong stared at everyone and said indifferently: "Matrix Technology has endured all the real pain relief and all obstacles for you, you are like flowers in a greenhouse and are cared for by the parent company, you don't need to worry about yourself." But in return, you're in the safe haven of the parent company, and I want you to be able to provide me with a plethora of eye-pleasing, quality content, not a pile of garbage. If you can't, then I can spend tens of billions more to buy the other ones, and there should be a few that will be brilliant, right? ”

At this point, Ren Hong looked at everyone without saying a word.

Last month, Jingzheng and the others trembled in their hearts, the person in front of them was younger than all of them, but these words showed the coercion and arrogance of a giant to the fullest, and everyone felt a great pressure. It would undoubtedly be extremely stupid to despise the head of a world's top supergiant because of his youth.

"Please rest assured." Last month, Jingzheng was the first to break the silence, "The parent company provides such an excellent and comfortable environment, if we can't create a high-quality product, we are speechless." ”

"What Mr. Jingzheng said last month is extremely true." The CEO of Ubisoft echoed and said, "We will be the pioneers of the virtual world, and we will not hesitate to do so." ”

Immediately afterwards, everyone expressed their attitudes, and there was a great sense of pride.

Ren Hong also broke the silence, but said: "I don't believe you ......"

"Uh......" As soon as everyone heard it, the five people were immediately embarrassed on the spot, and the words were instantly cold.

Ren Hong suddenly showed a hint of a smile, looked at everyone and said, "...... But I believe in my own vision, and I've always had a strong sense of confidence in myself, as I've always had a strong belief in myself. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene reversed again, and the embarrassed crowd suddenly laughed again, especially Yosuke Matsuda and Kamitsuki Jingzheng echoed in unison. The atmosphere of the cold field suddenly became enthusiastic again.

Radish and stick, this is undoubtedly the most vulgar routine, and the most vulgar method is also the most effective routine, the five people know this very well, but they are convinced.

“Okay。” Ren Hong slapped his palm lightly and said, "My first batch of pioneers! Facebook has already started to build virtual communities, and you will build virtual games, communities and games will build the initial ecology of virtual world content, and you will assume and become the prototype and founder of the virtual world, one thing is undoubted, we will go down in history as an important role in promoting the process of human civilization. But there's not a lot of time left for you, with less than three years to go before the metaverse will be officially launched, and I hope that in three years' time, at least 16 great games will be able to provide our first users with consumable content. ”

"Part 16?" Yevis said in surprise, and for a moment, he hesitated and said: "Three years, isn't it a bit ......?"

Ren Hong responded on the spot with great domineering: "Then use dollars to buy time and expand your team to five or ten times!" If you don't have enough money, find the parent company, and all the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. ”

Buying time with money? Looking for a parent company? Doesn't this mean that the parent company wants to be wholly owned?

Everyone who heard this sentence took a deep breath, according to this trend, it is only a matter of time before Matrix Technology controls 100% of the five major game development companies, and if you want to let the parent company invest money in, invest funds at any cost in exchange for time, it is only possible to make the subsidiary completely become a wholly-owned holding company of Matrix Technology.

Matrix Technology is indeed super rich, but the five of them would never think that there is a free lunch in the world.

Yevis couldn't help but sigh to himself when he heard it: "The clothes have been stripped naked, what do you care about?" is already an absolute holding, so what is the difference between a wholly-owned holding? Anyway, the parent company has also given up voting rights, and 70% and 100% don't make much sense anymore. ”

There is no listed company in the world that is uncompromising in the face of capital pressure.
