[Chapter 255: Creator ≠ Owner?] 】
"Acquisitions? What else to acquire? Except for 'dinosaurs'! Gao Yue looked a little surprised, the acquisition of this kind of thing really opened and couldn't stop.
"Some of the companies that generate excellent content." Ren Hong said: "To be exact, it is mainly game production companies. ”
"Huh? Wait a minute. Gao Yue suddenly interrupted him, "This is not in line with the company's philosophy, you have always emphasized that Matrix Technology engages in high-tech, does not do content, and you should be very aware of the importance and clarity of the company's positioning." ”
"Of course I do." Ren Hong explained: "The concept of matrix technology will definitely not change, so we will make acquisitions instead of making content ourselves, content is also what we need, and it is a very important link, we don't do content ourselves, but we can acquire some companies that do content, all choose to acquire, I don't want to be choked from the content at a critical moment." ”
"The promotion of the globalization of matrix technology is indispensable." He concluded emphatically.
Although at present, the concept of virtual reality and games are extremely hot in the field based on the global scope, especially the virtual world, but due to the development of hardware and the hindrance of thinking, the global scope is still in the early conceptual stage, whether it is hardware problems or thinking has not yet made breakthroughs.
Except, of course, Matrix Technology.
At the same time, for matrix technology, there is also a place that is still a big shortcoming, that is, the content problem, it is no exaggeration to say, there is no excellent, enough content, no matter how good the hardware problem is, no matter how breakthrough it is, it is just a decoration.
Gao Yue is naturally able to understand these inevitable problems.
Ren Hong said: "In the early promotion stage, the extreme lack of content is a big problem, and it is also the most difficult moment, we must ensure that there is enough content in the early stage, and after achieving initial results, when more and more third-party companies of any kind, whether it is a game company or an Internet company, will come uninvited, this time is also the beginning of content richness, and it is also based on' The ecology of the virtual world is gradually taking shape, and at this time, it is also the time to lay the foundation, the beginning is difficult, but everything in the future will be full of infinite imagination. ”
"Which companies are you eyeing?" Gao Yue, who crossed her arms, asked crisply.
"Uh-huh......" Ren Hong thought roughly about it, and said to himself: "I seem to have seen a piece of news some time ago, it seems that Vivendi is about to sell Ubisoft, then we will take over, "Assassin's Creed" and the virtual world itself are rich in topicality, this must be won; In addition, I don't know much about the game industry of "Star Citizen", as well as Square Enix of "Final Fantasy", so I asked professionals to analyze what should be collected as long as Matrix Technology needs it. But try not to mess with the whole game market, just buy some of them, and the rest will beg to distribute their content in our virtual world. Of course, I'm talking about trying not to mess up the market. ”
"What if it's not a mess?"
"Then let's mess up!"
Gao Yue nodded, and roughly wrote down this series of things.
"By the way, take a moment and ask if Xiaoza is free to come to China, the virtual community is also a very important content section, and I think it's time for a new cooperation with Facebook." Ren Hong added.
……
In the afternoon, Ren Hong met with Kang Tao during this little leisure time.
"What did you say?" Kang Tao stood up on the spot, his eyes full of incredulity, "Change ...... Changing the current landscape of Internet applications? ”
Kang Tao was shocked to learn that this so-called mysterious project came from like this, and everyone knows that the current human dependence on the Internet is as inseparable as water and electricity. The impact of changing this kind of infrastructure is so great that it has risen to the national level and affected the entire human world.
Because of this, Ren Hong did not hide it, and if he wanted to popularize and promote the virtual world, he could not bypass this point after all.
"To be precise, it is the ultimate form of changing the current Internet application landscape." Ren Hong looked at Kang Tao, who was shocked, and said, "Virtual world! ”
"Virtual world?"
"Let's put it this way!" Ren Hong saw Kang Tao looking a little confused and shocked, and said, "Have you seen the classic movie series "The Matrix"? ”
"I haven't seen it." Kang Tao said concisely, and when he saw Ren Hong holding his head and being defeated, he added in time: "But I've heard it, at least I've heard it!" ”
"It's enough to hear it, it's basically a virtual world!" The corners of Ren Hong's mouth curved slightly, revealing an obvious arc, "The world I created!" Minecraft! ”
Kang Tao was silent, after the shock, he then showed a solemn look, he remained silent for a long time, his heart seemed to be thinking, measuring, after a while, his eyes turned to Ren Hong again, and asked tentatively: "Independently operated by Matrix Technology?" ”
"How?" Ren Hong looked at him with a smile, and said two words without being salty or light.
"You know, this is not an ordinary product, this involves something that is immeasurable and even unpredictable regardless of breadth and depth, and I am worried about the ...... of Matrix Technology," Kang Tao said.
The implication is that Matrix Technology does not have the ability to manage or operate? Or is the creator not necessarily the owner? Or are you questioning the capabilities of Matrix Technology? What are the capabilities? Like what? Or is it a matter of loyalty? Ren Hong's short words were a series of question marks, and the words were no longer as friendly as before, and Kang Tao could hear the unfamiliar tone in it.
"Mutual respect is important, and trusting each other is even more important." When Kang Tao was silent, Ren Hong continued: "If Matrix Technology, as the creator, is not the owner, then I would rather click this project away, although I have invested countless time, energy and financial resources, although it can bring great benefits. ”
"Don't be so old, silence will give me a crisis of confidence in you."
"No, no, no!" When Kang Tao heard the four selfs behind him, his heart suddenly jumped, and he was anxious at the moment, "You really misunderstood, even so it is my personal will, and it can't represent anything." Of course, of course, I don't have the slightest doubt about any of the questions you raised earlier, but this question came too suddenly, and the impact was too great, and you know, as you said, respect each other, trust each other, and I'm sure you will understand me. ”
"Of course." Ren Hong did not deny this, Kang Tao listened to the suspense of the heart of the fall, he never wanted to miss such a talent, such a company, although Ren Hong said that the project would click, he believed in his courage, but at the same time, he did not deny whether it would be restarted, if it was restarted overseas or even the entire matrix technology because of this misunderstanding and caused estrangement, or even parted ways, he would become a sinner.
The thought of this makes me shudder.
"You've got to figure it out." Ren Hong said calmly: "I am not your enemy, even if I am, I was created by you." Although his words were peaceful, Kang Tao could feel the flavor that could never be ignored, Ren Hong got up from his seat on the spot, walked to the windowsill, and turned his back to Kang Tao, "Look, the entire company headquarters, all the security systems, as long as you give an order or your order, the company's more than 8,000 employees can be controlled within thirty minutes, without the power to resist, you or you can deprive me of everything overnight." ”
Speaking of this, Ren Hong turned around and stared at the other party intently, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
Kang Tao subconsciously looked away in the face of that torch-like gaze, smiled bitterly in his heart, and regretted it a little, to be exact, very regretful. Of course he understands the meaning, this is an attitude and an incomparably clear position, but also an extreme self-confidence, only boundless self-confidence and calmness will do all this, Kang Tao doesn't understand where the source of this self-confidence comes from, General Gao? Old man Ren? Or something else? But there is definitely one source of confidence that comes from it.
