Chapter 293: Hidden Consumption

Due to the approaching Chinese New Year.

Both the real world and the virtual space have become more lively.

People who are wandering outside have bought tickets in advance and taken the bus home for the New Year.

For those who can't go home for work or other reasons, they plan to spend the New Year in a virtual space.

Anyway, it's all the same reality, and spending the New Year in the virtual space also saves the money for round-trip tickets and the time of taking the bus.

This is undoubtedly more convenient.

Faced with this situation, major enterprises are naturally like sharks smelling blood, frantically holding various New Year's activities in the virtual space.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, twelve o'clock in the evening.

In the real world, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers sounded in every house, and it was full of excitement.

Meanwhile.

With the arrival of the New Year, the carnival of the virtual world has just begun.

Because people have some New Year's customs, after watching the Spring Festival Gala, it is the time for night owls to go out and have crazy entertainment.

And the various activities in the virtual space are their appetite.

Here, people can find everything they want to have fun.

For example, the Treasure Digging Ceremony not only invited many top stars, but also gave away red envelopes for a limited time, attracting tens of millions of people to watch together.

Pinxi Xi Xi also carried out the activity of throwing darts and slashing, people can break through the virtual world by throwing darts.

Every time you pass a level, you can directly get a cash red envelope reward, which also attracts tens of millions of people to participate.

Longju electric car also held a car god competition, as long as you win the first place, you can get the latest luxury version of Longju.

The Tianyu Star Wars launched the Year Beast event, where people can use fireworks, laser cannons and other items to create a loud noise to drive away the Year Beast.

For a while, the virtual world was full of middle-aged flavor, and everywhere was filled with the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Huanyu Technology Co., Ltd. announced the big data situation of the New Year in the virtual space on its official website.

The data shows that in one day and one night, a total of more than 700 million people across the country entered the virtual space.

700 million people!

In the virtual space, in various forms, a total of more than 6.8 trillion dragon coins were consumed.

In RMB, it is nearly 700 billion!

And these 700 billion yuan is only the pure consumption of people's data, and it does not calculate the amount of people's consumption in major enterprises, as well as the amount of expenses of major enterprises.

Again, no doubt, that's going to be a huge number.

Therefore, when this data was released, it directly shocked the world.

No way.

With the expansion of the influence of Huanyu Technology Company, the degree of Chinese New Year is also getting higher and higher.

In particular, this year is the first time that Huaxia has chosen to hold a New Year's celebration in a virtual space.

This has attracted the attention of countless people around the world.

In order to obtain first-hand information, many reporters from all over the world have already rushed to China in advance to enter the virtual space to conduct live reports.

For example, Lao Mi's ABC radio edited a special report on the virtual world, which attracted tens of millions of people in China to watch. ….

In the report, Alice, a blonde ABC reporter, visited 43 cities in the virtual space and found that each city has its own characteristics

For example, the cities in the north are a world of ice and snow, where you can ski freely and participate in various celebrations related to ice and snow.

In the south, there are Jiangnan water towns, cyberpunk, summer beaches, and so on.

Cities with different characteristics have made countless foreign audiences envious.

"Oh! My God! It's a carnival!"

"It's so attractive, I want to participate in such a New Year's celebration too!"

Isn't our country also done building a virtual space, why not have a similar celebration, I want to go to such a world to experience too!"

"Shet! There is nothing in the virtual space of our country now, and it is the same as relying on the defense, ***!"

"Don't forget, our virtual space is all built with the help of others, and the virtual space is definitely not as good as others, just like Tianyu Star Wars, they have been playing for half a year, and we have just started to appear."

"Alas, why didn't we invent this great technology, Mr. Lin should be our man!"

As the report spread, netizens all over the world were envious.

In the past, people in various countries did not have an accurate concept of the virtual world reported in the news media.

However, this time the Chinese New Year celebration directly opened the eyes of the world.

Countless netizens only now know that the virtual world can be so colorful.

Therefore, the most discussed thing on the Internet in various countries today is when the virtual space in their country will be opened, or when they can engage in activities.

Compared with ordinary people, governments are more coveted by the benefits of virtual space.

It's a gold-sucking monster.

What is the concept of 700 billion a day?

This can throw off the GDP of those small countries for several years.

And, according to Chinese customs, the New Year's celebration lasts for seven days.

This means that there will be a variety of special events to be held in the future.

Even if the consumption level will decrease in the future, no matter how bad it is, there will still be five or six hundred billion a day.

In this way, in just seven days, the net consumption of Chinese people's data has reached an astonishing five trillion!

In the face of such a terrifying consumption power of the Chinese people, the rest of the world is shocked and angry.

"Not only do they provide food and drink in their virtual space, but there are also a lot of people who eat it, I can't believe that there are still people willing to buy it just by selling some fake data?"

"The prospect of virtual space is very high, and their income will continue to increase in the future, because I read the report that many entertainment facilities, such as amusement parks, are now free and open, and it is estimated that they will be charged in the future."

"Once people have established sustainable spending habits, can you imagine how far their revenue will grow?"

"That's right, after a year, I think it should be easy to create tens of trillions of revenue, not to mention corporate income, which will only be more."

"We have to open up the virtual space as soon as possible, and then let those entrepreneurs settle in, let them pay first, and then let ordinary people in, and improve our overall economy." ….

"I think we can have friendly trade with the virtual space of Huaxia, strengthen the connection between our two sides, and improve people's consumption level."

………

Think tanks around the globe have convened emergency meetings.

Although they expected that the virtual space might explode, the potential is amazing.

But I didn't expect it to be so profitable.

So, with the unanimous agreement of countries around the world.

The agents of the virtual space of various countries contacted Li Ke of Huanyu Technology for the first time.

They have expressed their desire to speed up the construction and opening of virtual spaces.

And Li Ke's response was also very fast, wanting to engage in activities like them in the virtual space.

It's as simple as increasing the amount of storage in their database.

Upgrading a database costs money.

"You promised to help us build and open up the virtual space, and you are in breach of contract!"

Carson, who was talking to Li Ke, said angrily after hearing that he was going to add extra money.

Li Ke smiled brightly and said, "That's right, we did help you build and open the virtual space as promised, right?"

"We didn't charge you a license fee or a service fee, your nothingness

The pseudo-space can be used normally, we have fulfilled our promise perfectly, how can you say that we have broken the contract?"

Carson gritted his teeth and said, "Then since it's all set up and open, why can't we do business like you?!"

Li Ke said with a smile: "This can only show that with your current database storage capacity, it is simply not possible to drive the computing power of your other activities, this is your own technical problem, what does it have to do with us?"

"If you really want to build a large virtual space, the first thing you need to do is upgrade your database."

"Do you know how much data we used to build our virtual space, I can tell you that there are 6,472 petabytes of data."

"Moreover, on the first day of the opening of the virtual space, the amount of data tripled, and it will continue to rise!"

"Not to mention, the amount of data we consume for our New Year's events has reached the level of 1,046 petabytes."

"So, if you think your database can support such a large amount of data, then you can upgrade it yourself."

Hearing this answer, Carson was speechless.

Seeing this, Li Ke seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "By the way, I also want to remind you that the database composed of virtual reality technology and virtual space are two completely different concepts."

"They have higher requirements for data read and write speeds, and simply put, no kind of hard drive on the market can meet its requirements."

"What do you use?"

Carson asked, twitching at the corners of his mouth.

Li Ke smiled like an old fox who had succeeded in stealing chickens, and said, "Of course, we use our own research and development of the biological cell hard disk, although the price is very expensive, but the storage capacity is amazing, and it also perfectly meets the requirements of virtual space."

"And what are we paying for? Didn't you say you had the right to share the virtual space for free?"

Carson suppressed his anger and roared with a trembling body.

"Mr. Carson, don't get excited, I think you might be mistaken, it's one thing to have free access to virtual space, but it's another thing to charge your agency fees."

"Agency fee, the contract is clear, you will have the temporary right to use the virtual space."

"This is different from virtual space permissions, virtual space permissions are free, you have absolute self-***, the two can't be confused."

Li Ke explained calmly.

Hearing this, Carson immediately reacted and laughed angrily: "You guys are bundling consumption! It's hidden consumption!

"Hehe, we don't deny this, so I'm still busy if you want to upgrade the database, and there are other agents waiting for me to deal with it."

Li Ke looked at Carson with a smile.

The smug smile made Carson almost unable to suppress his anger and punched him hard,

"Yes!"

But in the end, Carson gritted his teeth and spat out the word.

"Very well, then let's talk about the specific price point......

Li Ke's smile suddenly became sincere.

Carson: "......".

A breeze will stay with you for a long time
