As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 176 Industrial Change (4600)

"It takes time for technology to mature, and technology is an iterative process.

In the past, VR was not popular because the ecology was not yet mature, and the user base was not enough to support more ecology.

In the past, VR only had a relatively prosperous ecology of games, but it does not mean that only games will flourish in the future.

Live streaming, video and even virtual shopping, these ecosystems will gradually mature with the advancement of technology.

From a strategic point of view, the VR ecosystem that will mature first in the future must be video and live broadcasting. "

"We have obtained the samples of Kechuang Future, yes, I have also used it, and the trial experience is very good.

But the product has not been released yet, Mr. Li, why are you so swearing now.

Whether the product is good or bad and whether it can be welcomed by the market are two different things.

Tudou has been a user to independently produce high-quality content earlier than Bilibili, and their products are also good, but it is Bilibili that succeeded in the end.

It will not be too late to invest in this direction after the follow-up matures. "

Tudou also belongs to the tears of the times, and the slogan "everyone is the director of life" was put forward a long time ago.

It is typical to wake up early and catch a late episode.

The restrictiveness of Ali's acquisition of companies is also magnified on Youku Tudou.

Although Tudou put forward the slogan of self-media early on, the soil of self-media was not yet fully mature at that time, and computer users could not support Tudou's strategic planning.

Later, Tudou was acquired by Youku, and after the merger of Youku Tudou, it was acquired by Ari in 2015 and became one of the components of Ari's entertainment platform.

After Ali acquired Youku Tudou, he intervened in various business operations, and finally Youku Tudou fell behind in the mobile Internet era.

Now the second-tier film and television apps are not counted.It is not even as good as iQiyi, which was acquired by Qiandu.

It was also after Ari acquired Youku that rumors spread in the Internet circle that Ari's acquisition of a company would kill the company.

"If we wait until then to talk about it, it will be too late. It is the easiest time to talk about it when everyone is not aware of its value.

Moreover, VR video requires a larger amount of storage than traditional video. Once the content explodes, the current storage server cannot accommodate so much data.

What we have to do is to purchase a large number of expensive Beiming No. [-] storage servers in terms of infrastructure to prepare for the explosive growth of VR videos.

The second is to develop the B station app based on the VR system.

The other is to communicate with our anchors and encourage everyone to live broadcast VR games. At the same time, we need to develop a first-person viewing mode for the anchors.

Users can share the angle of view with the anchor, which is much more immersive than the first time LPL made it.

The last and most important thing is that Goose Factory is about to launch a chicken-eating game. I don’t know what they plan to call internally.

But this game Goose Factory will definitely develop in the direction of e-sports, and we will get the right to broadcast the first professional league.

Even though I haven't seen any chicken-eating VR games, I believe that as long as the quality of the game is above the level, Goose Factory can make it popular.

What we need to do is to eat the resources of the goose factory and the traffic of the goose factory.

These can be discussed now as long as you want to talk about them, but wait until the brain-computer connection VR becomes popular, and the price may not be the current price.

Don't forget that Goose Factory has its own live broadcast platform. "

Although Goose Factory is not the first company to enjoy the first wave of e-sports dividends in China, it is definitely the company that enjoys the most e-sports dividends.

It can be said that LPL has brought the e-sports professional league format to an unprecedented level.

Riot itself never imagined that LOL could be operated by Goose Factory to this point.

We must know that Dota has far more player base and e-sports base than LOL. If Dota2 is operated by a goose factory, it will definitely not be like it is now.

Perfection belongs to fishing.

The success of LOL in the field of e-sports has made other game manufacturers jealous. Whether their own games are suitable or not, they must engage in e-sports leagues.

Name and criticize Zhuchang's Pinganjing e-sports league and Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm.

Heroes of the Storm can engage in e-sports, but it was killed by Blizzard.

"Mr. Li, the things you mentioned, to put it bluntly, still contain elements of gambling."

"That's right! If you don't gamble now, when will you wait?
Now that all Internet companies cannot find incremental markets, there is a godsend opportunity in front of us, so why not bet on it?
This is not ten years ago, and we can count on more users and a bigger market, and the demographic dividend is gone.

Have we played fb, youtube, twitch, etc. when going overseas?
On the contrary, the video and live broadcast formats of brain-computer connection VR, if we do a good job, it is very likely to enter the overseas market.

It really is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I believe that VR will be an opportunity comparable to the mobile Internet, and a new round of industrial revolution of the Internet is born here. "

Foreign Internet giants cannot enter Huaguo, and it is also difficult for Huaguo Internet companies to enter foreign markets.

Ali and Goose Factory can acquire some Internet companies in Southeast Asia through acquisitions, but they cannot enter the European and American markets through the same means.

Internet companies in Europe and the United States are actually American Internet companies, and there are no local C-end manufacturers in the European continent.

There are big B-end companies in Europa, like SAP, which is a big enterprise-oriented Internet company.

European and American Internet companies are more than sufficient to rely on European and American capital, and it is difficult for Huaguo Capital to miss out.

As an obvious example before, like AI companies in England, Amazon, FB, and Google can invest in the top ten AI companies, while Goose Factory can only invest in secondmind, which ranks around [-].

When the industrial revolution is about to start, some companies can perceive it in advance, while others can only be pushed by the times.

There are many Internet companies that have obtained brain-computer connection VR samples, some have already rushed ahead, and some are still waiting to see.

Those who can associate brain-computer connection VR with biological storage need to have strong industrial acumen.

The update and iteration of hardware technology has led to the prosperity of the software industry, and the explosive growth of storage demand will inevitably require the follow-up of hardware technology.

In 1992, American's national information infrastructure plan - the construction of an information superhighway, led to the Internet bubble in 2000, which was as outrageous as the current currency circle.

Just like if mobile phones are still in the 3G era, short video apps cannot become popular.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhong Ze, and it's eleven o'clock in the evening on the 24th. Kechuang Future's brain-computer connection VR conference has just ended."

At [-] o'clock in the morning, a certain digital up owner released the unboxing experience called Futureverse I on station B: the next generation of VR products?

"And we got this brain-computer connection VR named Futureverse I by Kechuang Future at the first time."

"Because META was registered as a trademark by FB, everyone knows that metaverse means the metaverse, so many VR products are named so-and-so verss, such as HTC's Viverse is more famous."

"So from the name, the naming of Kechuangfuture is not too innovative. In the future universe, take the last two characters of your own name."

"Everyone should be familiar with Kechuang Future, right? It is a joint venture of Kechuang Biology, Goose Factory and Rice."

"The biggest gimmick of futureverse is the brain-computer connection, which is also the housekeeping skill of science and innovation creatures."

"By the way, I just attended their press conference, and my attention was focused on Mr. Miaomiao the whole time. Her temperament is so good that I feel like I'm going to call my wife again on the screen."

After the video was broadcast, at this point, the barrage was indeed full of people calling their wives, or maybe it was my wife, don't fight me.

Because Zheng Li's wealth accumulation is very transparent and no black spots can be found, the domestic public opinion orientation for technology to become rich has always been advocated.

In addition, Kechuang Bio is a rare company that does not work overtime, does not work, and pays well.So Zheng Li has a good reputation among young people.

In this era when Ali's layoffs are called sending talents to the society, and Goudong's layoffs are called congratulations on graduation, it is a kind of luck to work for a giant that is on the rise.

Everyone wants to work in Kechuang Biology, so Zheng Li's nickname on the Internet has changed from Zheng Shen to Boss.

Of course, it is mainly a joke. In fact, the threshold for scientifically innovative creatures is very high.

Even the production base of endorphin, the current threshold is also a book, you must know that you can graduate from high school before.

Education is depreciating every year.

Although the production steps of endorphins are cumbersome and the operation requirements are rigorous, but even so, this job is more than enough for high school students.

"You lsps! How dare the boss's woman yell?"

"Hahaha, I was just joking. Don't send me a lawyer's letter from the legal department of Kechuang Bio."

"Having said that, from the packaging point of view, it is a very technological package, but there are too many similar packages."

“首先说一下售价，12G+512G的基础版价格在9999元，12G+1T的加强版本价格是12999元，24G+2T的价格是16999元。”

"The price is a bit expensive. The starting price of 9999 yuan can buy two PS5s."

"But it's only the price of the latest iPhone Pro, it still depends on your needs."

"For a digital enthusiast like me, I'm definitely willing to spend [-] yuan to experience the so-called most advanced VR product."

The global pricing of Futureverse is not much different, fluctuating around [-] RMB.

This price will definitely be a little high for Chinese consumers, and some consumers may need two months' salary to buy one.

To be honest, it may take a long time for these users to spend two months' salary on entertainment products.

For foreign consumers, the price of [-] RMB is relatively more acceptable.

"Open it up and try it first, it's very light, lighter than the VR devices I've been exposed to before."

"Futureverse and other VR devices are similar to glasses, and then the helmet can wrap your head."

"However, due to the use of the most advanced brain-computer connection technology, the futureverse has more than one hundred nerve point signal catchers all over to identify your brain nerve signals."

"The texture is also very good, absolutely perfect in terms of feel."

"From the appearance point of view, the pure white body has a strong sense of technology. It seems that white has always been easier to give us a sense of technology."

"Like the future world in science fiction movies, I like to use white as the interior background of buildings."

"White is really nice, but if you're worried about getting dirty, there are black and blue options."

"If I had to choose, I would definitely choose white."

"The chip on the performance parameters uses Qualcomm's latest SnapDragon 1035 processor, which is the latest chip specially designed by Qualcomm for VR."

Qualcomm has been focusing a lot of energy on VR chips, and they think this is the next direction.

Qualcomm began to increase investment in the VR/AR field as early as 2015.

It has blossomed in all directions in recent years, and has cooperated with META and ByteDance to build a VR platform.

Originally, Qualcomm also wanted to intervene in Kechuang Future, claiming that if Kechuang Future allowed Qualcomm to take a stake, Qualcomm would develop a chip specifically for brain-computer connection VR.

Kechuang Bio eventually rejected Qualcomm.

"Support WiFi and Bluetooth connection, display resolution up to 4k, screen refresh rate up to 120HZ."

"At the same time, everyone knows that the biggest gimmick of futureverse is the brain-computer connection."

"As an absolute leader in the field of brain-computer connection, Kechuang Biotech, as one of the major shareholders of Kechuang Future, specially designed a brain-computer connection chip named KCLink I for futureverse."

"At the same time, it is also equipped with an AI-assisted computing chip called KCAI I. According to Mr. Miao Miao at the press conference, it can greatly increase the real-time graphics computing capability of the CPU."

"Let players have a better experience."

"The parameters are roughly the same as above. Since it needs to be sent out as soon as possible, I won't go into details."

"Then introduce some of the more unique features."

"Currently, there are two mainstream VR models, such as Pico and META Quest, which are more popular in the market. These can be called VR all-in-one machines with built-in chips."

"You can play right away."

"There is also a VR device that needs to be connected to a high-end computer to play, such as HTC's Vive that needs to be connected to a computer to play.

And there are configuration requirements. I remember that the latest Vive needs at least a GTX 1070 to drive it. "

"I bought a Quest and tried a Vive at a friend's house."

"If you simply compare Vive and Quest, Vive has a better user experience. After all, the image quality of Vive is as high as 5K, while the image quality of Quest is only 1080P."

"But let me buy it, I will buy quest. The price of Vive is more than four times that of quest."

The price of Vive pro is 12888 yuan, and the price of new products will increase in 2023.
The price of Quest is around [-].

"At the same time, the ridiculous thing about vive is that it needs to be connected to the computer with a cable to play. Then it needs to install a locator, and specially plan a blank area as a play area."

"It's very troublesome for a lazy person like me."

"Quest can be used after wearing it, just pay attention to the surrounding obstacles that are easy to touch before playing."

"Quest is much more convenient. Although vive is very good, it is too unfriendly for a lazy person like me."

"Having said that, the futureverse of Kechuangfu takes into account the advantages of both."

"First of all, the futureverse belongs to the VR all-in-one machine, which has the latest Qualcomm VR chip built in, so you can play it directly on it."

"At the same time, futureverse also supports the Bluetooth function. After installing a Bluetooth external device on the computer, futureverse can be connected to the computer and share the CPU and graphics card of the computer."

"When the built-in chip of VR meets the needs of use, you can play as much as you want."

"And if there are some masterpieces in the future, if the futureverse is slow to use, it can be connected to the computer via Bluetooth, and the game will not be stuck."

"It was said at the Kechuangfuture press conference that it is compatible with all models of graphics cards after 1080. It is also compatible with all CPUs after Intel 7th generation."

"At least it can meet all the needs of players for the next three years."

"At the same time, if you don't have enough memory, you can download the game to the computer and play it via Bluetooth connection."

The latter function was originally not wanted by the goose factory.

Because if this function is opened, players can download VR games directly on the steam of the computer, and then connect the VR to the computer to play.

The consequence of this is that steam is still a game login device, and at the same time, the VR system does not receive a share of the game sales revenue.

Because the computer is a Windows system, it will not be taxed.

In the end, the goose factory still compromised. Now is the stage of ecological construction, and we should not pay attention to these petty profits.

"Very user-friendly design, when the configuration is insufficient, use the computer configuration to make up for it."

This technology belongs to one of the bottom-of-the-box technologies in the VR field of Goose Factory, and is used in the brain-computer connection VR system.

In recent years, the company with the largest number of patent registrations in the VR field is Goose Factory.

Qualcomm's number of patent registrations in the VR field doesn't even rank in the top ten.

But on another list, two of the top ten valuable patents in the VR field belong to Qualcomm.

"Next is the most exciting part of the trial play. I will try it for my brothers first. If it is not fun, I can clear mines."

Next is the fast-forward screen. Zhong Ze is holding the handle and wearing VR, dancing in the screen.

After the screen fast-forwarded, Zhong Ze, who had connected his brain to the VR and took it off, could clearly see a thin layer of sweat on his head.

"I can only say that it is very, very good, and the user experience is very good. If you are a game lover, it is definitely worth buying one."

"Of course you have to do what you can!"

"I'm not saying this because I'm an employee of the Goose Factory. I'm sure this is definitely a cross-generational product!"
