363 Sweet and sweet
The four platforms are Horizon Home, Horizon Studios, Horizon World, and Horizon Entertainment.
They are aimed at the needs of people's life, work, socialization and entertainment.
even secretly made a VR game APP to bypass Gogu and Tangerine Company.
And then there was a big investment in digital currencies and so on......
This series of moves is showing that they are really moving into the metaverse across the board!
And they have quietly completed a certain layout in the field of the metaverse.
It's a pity that the concept of the metaverse is too grand, and it is difficult for them to do it with this investment alone.
So in the fourth quarter of last year, they lost 10 billion Dao Le, and as a result, as soon as this financial report was announced, their market value evaporated by tens of billions......
So their boss was also in a hurry, and at the beginning of this year, he threatened to recruit 10,000 engineers to increase the development of the metaverse.
But just listen to it, if you really want to build a metaverse according to the concept of their company boss and recruit 10,000 engineers, how can it be enough?
And even if he really wants to recruit, their company can't afford it?
How much do engineers who are good at AI get paid right now?
Even in Yanlong, where labor is relatively cheap, an engineer in this field has an annual salary of seven or eight hundred thousand.
Millions are a common thing, and this is more in the Stars and Stripes country.
If so many engineers were hired, the payroll alone would bankrupt Marta.
So now is the time when they are most anxious, eager to find the right partner on a global scale!
At this time, the red power studio led by Stephen appeared at a very timely time......
“…… It's time for them to burn their eyebrows now, and the VR platforms they announced are not performing well at the moment? ”
"The main thing is that the user experience is not good, and I also went to the forum earlier to see other people's comments on these platforms."
"I think what everyone feels the most is that the anthropomorphic effect is not good. Users are not satisfied with their virtual looks, and they are also very unhappy with the reaction of NPCs. ”
"It's a great time for you to show off your skills! Didn't you say last time that the AI program of our Red Power studio is the best at developing this kind of virtual character? ”
Yang Yinuan said to Stephen with a smile.
And Stephen also smiled and nodded: "That's right, this is indeed what we do best!" ”
"Still, Marta is very careful. You also come back to their sensitivity to our side of the relationship. ”
"There is a bit of good technology, and I like to hide it, for fear that we will learn it secretly, and we will be suspicious of our technology."
"These subcontracting projects are actually a test of our studio. The two we finished earlier, they are very satisfied with the results. ”
"When the third one is finished, they will probably come to us directly!"
When Yang Yinuan heard this, he immediately relieved himself: "That's really good, by the way, have the payments arrived?" ”
When he came, his mother suddenly told him that he wanted to buy a magnificent store and open a flagship store, which made his financial pressure increase sharply!
Stephen was also stunned when he heard him ask, and then immediately replied.
"The payment for the first few task packages has arrived, but this five million is only half of the advance payment."
"The rest of the funds will not be able to be sent to them until all the projects are completed and sent to them for verification!"
Stephen pursed his lips after speaking, as if he was not very happy with this payment method.
But Yang Yinuan rolled his eyes, you guy really hasn't done business, what else do you want?
I earned three million Dao Le in half a month! Still not satisfied?
If you cooperate with other Internet companies in China, even if the contract is signed in black and white.
Even if you do all the subcontracting work for them, why don't you ask for a final payment?
Drag you for three or five months, that's all trivial, and it's not impossible to press you for a year or two...
"Marta's project will not be a problem to be completed on schedule."
"At the same time, we also took over the job of an orange company!"
"Oh? They're looking for you, too? ”
Yang Yinuan really thought that the orange company actually found Stephen and them.
You know, this company is now a first-class international Internet giant.
In Yanlong's Internet world, the influence is also a first-class god-level company.
Even many small companies are proud to be their suppliers.
There are also many companies that like to touch porcelain with this company.
Because as long as there is a little news of cooperation with the orange subsidiary, then their company's stock price will take off immediately!
I don't know how many companies are waiting in line to cooperate with them!
But now they actually took the initiative to find Stephen...
"They wanted us to help them with a data testing system, and you know, they've been plotting to get into electric vehicles."
"I've been wanting to do autonomous driving for a while, but in the area of LV2 autonomous driving, their system has not been perfected."
"It was because I saw that our AI aspect has its own characteristics, so some time ago, after many meetings to discuss and negotiate."
"They sent us a subcontract ...... worth tens of millions of dollars."
Hearing the amount reported by Stephen, Yang Yinuan was stunned again!
"Oh roar? They're generous enough! ”
I knew that oranges were rich, but Yang Yinuan didn't expect that they would actually come up and throw 10 million into their Red Power Studio!
This posture looks menacing!
Accidentally, this red power has become a sweet spot for the two giants to compete for!
"Have you ever wondered why they give you so much money?"
Yang Yinuan suddenly asked Stephen to arrive, and Stephen shrugged.
"Naturally, it's because you like our technology?"
And Yang Yinuan shook his head with a smile: "You! It's still too simple! ”
It turns out that this orange company can be said to be the biggest success in the mobile Internet era.
It can even be said that they are the kings of the mobile Internet era, from hardware to software ecosystem.
They built a most complete closed loop before the desktop Internet era.
Marta is one of the many kings, but after entering the era of mobile Internet, they are making a wrong step, a wrong step.
Although it is still strong, it has always been pressed under the orange company.
There is even a regular payment of orange tax, such as users using orange mobile phones and not completing a transaction.
Even if it is a transaction of Marta, it will give 30% to the orange company for nothing.
So companies like Tangerine actually hate the arrival of the metaverse the most.
But they also know that they can't stop the general trend.
Therefore, while other companies are laying out or entering the metaverse, they are also quietly deploying.
