At the end of the double debut, the second day ushered in a violent vibration, and the depth and breadth of its influence undoubtedly spread to a global scale. The whole world knew that Matrix Technology was brewing a super plan, but no one expected that Matrix Technology would create a world! A world that is enough to crush the current Internet ecology.

Virtual world! This thing, which everyone thought would be possible at the end of the 21st century at the earliest, did not expect it to become a reality today, which shocked everyone and caught them off guard.

Matrix Technology announced the "virtual world", the most hit country is the United States, the current global Internet is actually dominated by Americans, and the birth of the "virtual world", no one will question its powerful energy, the current Internet is replaced is only a matter of time. What has hit the United States hard is that the entire virtual network is a completely independent new ecosystem, without any dependence on the current Internet, which means that in the future, when the world's Internet becomes a virtual network, it will be subject to China, depending on the face of the country.

The Americans will lose this powerful advantage, this is the last thing they want to see.

In addition to the U.S. authorities, the hardware giants in the United States and even the entire Europe and the United States are also facing a serious crisis, this time facing an unprecedented crisis, this time it is an existential crisis, and the "virtual world" is like a scythe of death hanging above their heads for them, which may harvest them at any time, because the PC will gradually disappear, if not completely disappear, it will be basically replaced.

LG, IMB, AMD, Intel and other European and American hardware giants have seen their stocks plummet after the announcement of the "virtual world". Some time ago, with the birth of quantum computers, Microsoft announced gratifying progress in the field of personal operating systems, which made the company's stock soar, and the stock price soared, and the market value once exceeded 700 billion US dollars in a few months.

But just after Ren Hong announced that mankind had entered the "virtual network era", Microsoft's market capitalization soared sharply, and its stock price fell in response, turning from a soaring upward posture to a rapid downward swoop, like a roller coaster, dreaming back to 600 billion overnight and evaporating more than 100 billion US dollars on the same day.

Microsoft's plummeting market value is just an introduction, and the major hardware giants are no better, and the global stock market has a big shock on this day, and it is almost about to collapse.

The world's hardware giants are facing a heavy blow and an unprecedented crisis, but the global Internet giants have not been affected much, after all, for these companies, the "virtual world" was born, they only need to step up the pace to follow up, and the matter of moving will not affect the fundamentals, even if there is, it is necessary to wait for the game in the era of virtual networks, before the new battlefield is separated, there is still a chance for these Internet companies.

Typical such as alphabet company only slightly declined, in general, the global Internet companies have signs of decline, but the curve fluctuations did not appear sharp contrast, but the overall market showed an upward trend, and the initiator is Facebook.

There is no doubt that Facebook has become the biggest winner among global Internet technology companies in cooperation with XLOUS, Zuckerberg's bright smile throughout the press conference is the best portrayal, and under the wail of the global stock market and hardware giants, Facebook has become the most eye-catching landscape, supporting the entire market to show an upward trend by itself.

Facebook became the second company to break through the trillion-dollar market capitalization after Saudi Aramco, an oil company that has no comparison, while Facebook is an internet technology company with a brighter future.

Zuckerberg's smile today is the best response to the strong opposition of the board of directors three years ago, the most typical counterattack road, three years ago Zucker faced unprecedented pressure on Facebook's strategic transformation, and even did not hesitate to gamble everything he had to gag the mouth of the board and all opponents, which shows how much pressure he is facing.

But now, no one is questioning him, and Zach's influence and control at Facebook has risen to a whole new level.

As for Matrix Technology, people can no longer calculate what price code will be suitable for this company, if you want to say, it can only be measured by pricelessness, because Matrix Technology equals the future.

The "double debut" has ended, but the influence has just fermented, and the much-anticipated global tour debut has become a foil, which is no suspense, through this tour debut, Ren Hong let hundreds of millions of people around the world know about the virtual world at the same time, this kind of publicity power can be called epic.

The next day, with the perfect end of the "double debut", Ren Hong, as the host, also launched a dinner for the first time to celebrate the success of the "double debut", and the participants included the big names in the global entertainment and technology circles.

"I love your new album."

"Really? What an honor! ”

"You're very popular in China, you may not know that."

"No, you're wrong, Mr. Ren, now I know, but I'm still very surprised, and of course I'm happy."

This top banquet was held in the "Fashion Magic Capital", at the moment Ren Hong was talking with Avril, at the banquet, handsome guys and beauties, celebrities and rich people were readily available, actresses competed for beauty, male stars were suave, and technology celebrities and rich people were familiar with each other, and they had wide-angle connections at this rare banquet.

The legendary high society is nothing more than that.

"Someone is calling me, I'm sorry I missed me." Ren Hong pointed and smiled at Avril.

Ren Hong nodded with a smile and left, communicating with people in the entertainment industry is more out of politeness, and the technology circle is his circle.

"Boss, the presidents of IMB, Intel, and LG in Greater China want to meet with you." Ding Yang, who came to Ren Hong's side, said.

When Ren Hong heard this, he pondered for a moment, and estimated in his heart that it seemed that these traditional hardware giants couldn't wait, and Ren Hong already knew about the collective diving of the stocks of these companies.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and these technologies can only seek matrix technology if they want to survive this life-and-death situation.

"Bring them to me when the feast is over." Ren Hong said. As soon as he said it, Ren Hong suddenly changed his words, "Wait, tell them directly, if you want to talk to their helmsman to see me, add a word, let them bring my original words to their heads: If you want to live, hurry up." ”

Ding Yang nodded, and then withdrew. Ren Hong walked towards his circle while thinking about this matter, the popularization of the virtual world will definitely face many obstacles from European and American countries, especially the United States, and the motherland behind him is playing with it behind the scenes, but it is obviously not enough, this does not need any doubt, Ren Hong will not be naΓ―ve to think that Americans will give up the dominance of the network so easily, and the pressure of the people is just the wind of public opinion, and the capital behind it can really play a decisive role. These traditional hardware giants are now facing an existential crisis, if matrix technology can pull them along......

Thinking of this, Ren Hong stopped thinking and sat in a seat.

"Haha~! I didn't expect you to be a fan of Avril Lavigne, why don't you ask her for an autograph? How about man, are you thinking about putting on an exclusive concert for her? Ren Hong just sat down, and Elon on the side. Musk said jokingly. There are seven or eight people gathered at this table, all of whom are among the top bigwigs in the technology circle.

A group of big coffee suddenly laughed, and Ren Hong, who had nothing to do, poured himself a glass of Taiping Island wine, selectively ignored it, and gently pursed his lips and took a small sip. Ren Hong looked at Larry. Paige, "I'm really curious what Alphabet is tinkering with on the moon?" ”

Elon. When Musk heard this, he immediately said: "The evil side of the moon, who knows what this guy Page is doing there, anyway, I won't believe in the ridiculous thing they are mining on the moon, I believe even more that he is dealing with aliens on the moon." ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and the bigwigs present all know Elon. Musk is joking, but Larry. Paige's heart jumped wildly when he heard this, Musk was indeed joking, but he himself didn't expect to be blindsided. However, Paige covered it up very well when he heard it, and the fast-thinking Paige smiled playfully: "You found out about this?" Say, I'm going to shut your mouth, how much hush money will it take? Don't bid too hard, or I'll cancel your order! ”

Between the lines, true and false, Larry. Page actually admitted, and did, but everyone thought it was a joke and didn't care.

Under a burst of laughter, Larry. Page looked at Ren Hong and said with a smile: "Alphabet hopes to make achievements in the energy field, Elon, you are really right, alphabet is already preparing to build a refinery on the moon to extract the rich resources on the surface of the moon, and hope to be able to make your rocket boost a wave, how about it?" ”

"I took this hush money!" Musk said with a smile.

"Ambitious space mining plans, you guys really know how to play." Jeff. Bezos laughed.

"Huh! I say, guys, aren't you curious about what Ren carries in his ears? "Larry. Paige suddenly said, "This doesn't look like 'S-2'!" What kind of high-end technology will it be? ”

As soon as these words came out, it was Ren Hong's turn to beat wildly, but he also concealed it very well, so that people could not see the slightest difference, sure enough, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

"It's a tragedy." Ren Hong said helplessly, and couldn't help but make everyone very curious, Ren Hong pointed to the ECG sensing suppressor next to the pinna, shrugged slightly, and said indifferently: "Accidents in the laboratory, if you take it off, this ear will be useless." ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that this was also true and false, and it was indeed an accident in the laboratory.

"I'm sorry, ......" Page replied apologetically.

"It's not something unsightly, it's okay." Ren Hong smiled generously.
