Chapter 215: Is It Too Late to Stock Up on Graphics Cards?
"Out! The full version of Big Cousin is really coming out! ”
"Do you know how hard I've been waiting??"
"Yay! I must see this Flood Carnival! ”
"I'm hungry for pistols and fists."
"So we still have to thank the big guy for letting the big cousin come out so quickly? (Dog's Head)"
The release of the full version of Red Dead Redemption is undoubtedly the most exciting for players, even surpassing the first carnival itself.
The topic of discussion that had disappeared gradually showed signs of recovery, and the three royal families formed a four-legged situation.
This is unique for a game studio.
attracted the manufacturers to run out to eat melons and watch the show.
Not for anything else.
For Hong Huang's momentum of daring to call out head-on, they all admired three points.
"Even if the flood famine loses this time, it will be enough for many people to remember them."
"Hong Huang really did what we didn't dare to do this time."
"It's just that the timing is not very good, but the giant hard has been preparing for a year this time, are they really sure that they can snatch the player from the giant hard side?"
Although this time, Hong Huang did not choose to hold the annual meeting from morning to noon like Juqiang.
But on the same day, the impact is still very large.
Because the excitement of the players has passed, when it is your turn again, there will always be a little emotional inadequacy.
Unless you change the time to the front of the giant hard.
But the giant hard starts in the morning, and then changes to the early morning, so no one watches it.
It can be said that the giant hard time is very stuck.
"Mr. Chen, why don't we open at the same time as them last time?"
In the Honghuang studio, Lao Li asked puzzled.
"You're stupid, last time it was just a single game PK, the concentration doesn't need to be too high, players can watch both sides together, but the carnival is different, no one knows when important information will burst out, so generally you can only focus on watching one."
Lao Song glanced at him, this guy still didn't think at all, and sure enough, the technique was the most suitable for him.
"That's right." Chen Lin, who was in the position, spoke slowly, "After all, it's the first time to do a carnival, we don't need to risk losing both sides to hedge against them, just follow the original plan." ”
He knew very well that the giant hard didn't respond, he just wanted to step on them to stir up the heat.
Isn't that what he thinks?
So this carnival must be beautiful.
He wants players to know that what the big factory can do, they can also do!
Even what the big factories can't do, they can do it!
Thinking of this, Chen Lin couldn't help but look at Lao Li: "How did the things that Ling prepared before?" ”
"Don't worry, it's been prepared for a long time, it took me more than half a year to set up a special team, and it's definitely a lot of money." Lao Li grinned.
He's not good at operations, but he's good at making games.
"What about the venue, have you contacted the branch of station B?" Chen Lin looked at Lao Song again.
"That's it." Lao Song smiled slightly, "As soon as Manager Su heard that we were going to use their venue to hold a carnival, he readily agreed, and the equipment was arranged for us for free." ”
"That guy is pretty good."
Chen Lin looked strange, he chose the other party as a cooperative ally, and he really chose the right one.
He just likes this kind of no-nonsense and neat work.
"That's right."
At this time, Lao Song thought of something and said, "Since it is our first carnival, we should talk about future planning later, right?" Do you have any plans? ”
"Future plans?" Chen Lin fell into deep thought.
Soon, his eyes flashed, and he raised his head: "AI, our plan this year is to prepare to enter the field of game AI!" ”
"Shhh AI?? ”
Song and Li gasped.
This is the most cutting-edge technology available today.
Although there have been signs of germination in recent years, no one has ever thought of using it in games.
"I know you're surprised, but I'm sure AI is an inevitable trend, so we have to pave the way before it hits the market."
"Maybe in two or three years, maybe in four or five years, major industries will usher in another big change."
"Of course, it shouldn't be so fast this year, we're just putting this gimmick out."
In the last life, the leader of the AI trend was giant hard.
With no hope in all of us looking at AI, huge sums of money are invested in the research and development of this project every year.
As a result, they really got it out, which instantly had a huge impact on major industries and caught many companies at home and abroad off guard.
Although I don't want to admit it.
But Ju Hard still has the means to open up new markets.
And he also received some news through various channels that there is indeed such a project going on at the giant hard headquarters, but no one believes that the project can be successful.
It is estimated that it is for this reason.
They couldn't take the time to deal with the flood.
Chen Lin is not sure when the AI process in this world will explode, so it is always not wrong to prepare early.
"Mr. Chen, what you said is true? Will AI really rise? ”
Lao Li was obviously a little surprised.
If someone tells him that AI will rise soon, he will probably go over without saying a word.
But these words came out of Chen Lin's mouth.
As the boss, the news channel must be much bigger than him.
In addition, Chen Lin has always had a god-like market insight, and he has already established a tall image in his heart, even if he says that pigs can fly, he believes it.
However, Lao Song is more calm.
After the shock, he immediately showed a thoughtful look: "I have indeed received some similar news recently, saying that there are several international manufacturers in Juhard that are studying this technology, but the industry is generally not optimistic about this kind of thing." ”
"That's because the level of computing power is not up to it."
The corners of Chen Lin's mouth rose slightly: "Have you noticed that the prices of graphics cards and chips have started to rise recently?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the two chip factories A and N are going to make big moves, once the chip computing power increases explosively, what do you think are the conditions that restrict the development of AI?"
"This!"
Song and Li's hearts were shocked, and their eyes suddenly widened.
Although they are not engaged in the chip industry, they will still have a careful understanding of the chip industry when buying equipment.
They didn't even need Chen Lin to explain in detail, they could already imagine that scene.
Yes.
The biggest factor limiting the development of AI is computing power!
But once the ban on computing power is lifted, it means that this restriction will no longer exist!
How terrifying does it take to find out?
You must know that the price increase of chips has only happened in recent months, and in the eyes of others, at most, the market price fluctuates normally, and it will not be associated with AI at all.
Opportunity!
Great opportunity!
The two of them who wanted to understand suddenly had a golden light in their eyes.
"That means, I'm starting to stock up on graphics cards now, and I'm going to make a lot of money in the future?" Lao Li rubbed his hands and said.
Lao Song suddenly rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Look at you, this is the market trend in the next few years, you just want to stock up on graphics cards?" ”
You may not be able to encounter such a strong wind direction once in a few years.
Even if it encounters, it will soon be divided by those big factories, and the small factories with slow news can only follow behind to drink soup.
But once you catch the direction of the wind, even a pig can take off!
How could he have thought that it was just a work report, and Chen Lin would poke out such important news to them.
If this is known by other companies, it must be regarded as a god.
also made him experience the horror of his own boss again.
"Okay, it's okay to stock up on graphics cards, and it's okay to buy stocks, but you'd better not spread this kind of thing, after all, it's just beginning to show signs now, and others may not believe it."
Seeing the excitement of the two, Chen Lin opened his mouth to admonish.
"Don't worry! I'm not going out and talking nonsense! ”
"I still understand this measure."
The two hurriedly made up the package ticket.
After all, it is a matter of the future direction of the industry, and they dare not talk nonsense until they are absolutely sure.
That's it.
End of debriefing.
After chatting for a while about the precautions of the carnival, the two left in a hurry.
Come outside the office.
Lao Li came up with a thief's eyebrows.
"Boss Song, tell me which one to buy when I buy stocks later, I don't understand this, I'll buy whichever you buy."
"You, you know money all day long, and you haven't grown at all." Lao Song glanced at him with a helpless expression.
"So what can I do? My sister has just been discharged from the hospital, and the medical expenses cost a lot of money, and there is still one million advanced by Mr. Chen who has not repaid me, so she is poor. ”
"Okay, okay, don't cry poor with me, will you get less bonus dividends this year? This thing is not something that can be decided casually, and I will call you after researching it. ”
Lao Song left directly after speaking.
Lao Li was grateful, and returned to the Dawn team with excitement and began to work on the carnival.
Time is in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, the 15th arrived.
In the anticipation of the players, the Juqiang annual meeting finally arrived as scheduled, set up a venue in Kyoto, and broadcast it live on the whole network.
"It's coming, it's coming, the annual meeting is about to begin."
"I'm so excited, I don't know what new tours will come out this year."
"It's a pity that I didn't grab the ticket, otherwise I would have gone to the scene to see it."
"I heard that those who go to the site will also give a commemorative handle for free."
"it, and this kind of good thing?"
"Why didn't I grab it! Damn! ”
In the live broadcast rooms of major platforms, a large number of viewers poured in as soon as they were opened.
Whether it is a fan of the giant hard platform or a passerby, they will not miss this event, and they will all gather to join in the fun.
Even Chen Lin, who was preparing for the scene, was always paying attention to the movements of the giant hard.
As expected.
Presiding over the venue was Carter, who was in charge of this annual exclusive.
"Last time, this guy didn't like my game, right?"
At the live venue, Lao Li looked at the picture on his laptop.
At this time, Carter had already walked up to the stage with a microphone and made his opening remarks in Chinese, which was still fluent.
Then, he handed the microphone to the staff and began to take turns on stage to introduce the new game that will be launched on the Xbox platform.
All of a sudden, all eyes were on it.
One game after another was put on the screen, causing blockbuster exclamations.
I have to say that the preparation of Ju Hard this time is very sufficient.
The game genre alone covers almost all categories, satisfying almost all types of players.
Even the recently emerging story-killing games have launched two, obviously trying to compete with the flood to compete for the market.
It's just that the plot killing game seems to be a bit unsuitable on the console side, not only is there a lack of interest on the spot, but the popularity of the live broadcast room has not been stirred.
"Silly fork, the most important thing in this kind of game is multiplayer interaction, you are a host who is congenitally deficient in this regard, and you still want to eat the market here."
Lao Li pursed his lips and laughed at him.
Even if he doesn't know much about the laws of the market, he still understands this way of thinking from the player's point of view.
"Sure enough, as rumored, this Carter is a straw bag who sits on by connection, he doesn't even understand basic game knowledge, and he is stubborn and self-serving, and it is definitely a huge mistake to send him to the branch here in the country."
Lao Song touched his chin with one hand and analyzed in a low voice.
also confirmed Chen Lin's previous speculation.
The giant hard headquarters is working on a big project, and there are not too many people to come over.
Thinking that sending just one person over can eat the national market, this arrogance will sooner or later make them suffer at the hands of the other two.
And while they were talking.
The live broadcast room and the audience also noticed this and let out doubts.
"What's going on? Shouldn't these games be PC games? ”
"It's weird that a console actually has a multiplayer interactive game?"
"Really, my living room is full every day, isn't it?"
"Why do you want to play with more than a dozen people, if I have so many friends, I can still use the console?"
As the employees on the stage explained, the doubts on the scene became louder and louder, which made the employees start to sweat on their foreheads, and their speech was frequently wrong.
Backstage, Carter noticed this and felt bad.
Immediately speed up the progress of these multiplayer interactive games and advance to other single-player games, and the situation has changed.
Especially when it came to the main event, the annual exclusive masterpiece "Faith", Carter came on the stage to explain it himself, and the atmosphere inside and outside the stadium became high again.
