Chapter 281 Global Press Conference

For this year's Spring Festival, it is definitely more New Year's than before.

With Yan Kingdom having the absolute right to speak of the global forces, and after Tripp voluntarily recognized his status, the top leaders of Neon Han Country and other surrounding forces also went to the imperial capital to show their favor.

The situations that were targeted in isolation in the past have completely disappeared.

simply put.

It's really easy to attack and defend.

For this reason, the ban on setting off fireworks and firecrackers was lifted deliberately, so that everyone can celebrate today's achievements together.

In recent years, due to the implementation of environmental protection and fire safety, there are almost no fireworks and firecrackers in the city or in the countryside. Due to the lack of the past, even young people are a little reluctant to go home for the New Year.

Would rather be alone in a cheap rental.

But this time because of future technology, the world structure has undergone such a big change, and everyone's hearts are full of excitement and excitement.

It seems that the whole person is more energetic.

It is worth mentioning that even Xu Lei returned to his hometown.

But unlike the previous trips, now that he has Xingtong's mechanical body beside him, he doesn't need to worry about safety at all, so this year Xu Lei also specially gave Cheng Fei and the others a vacation, letting them go home for the New Year and reunite with their families.

But when Xu Lei returned to his hometown with Xingtong, his parents were very surprised.

He thought to himself that in the past, the girls who accompanied his son were all Chen Shihe, so why did they suddenly change to another girl? Could it be that the old saying that a man turns bad when he is rich has come true.

As parents, no matter how much their children have achieved outside, they absolutely do not want them to lower their own moral standards.

So on the night Xu Lei returned, he was interrogated jointly by his parents, and he gave up after explaining Xingtong's true identity in detail.

However, the thinking of the older generation is really difficult to accept new things, so Xu Lei returned to the company a few days after the Spring Festival.

After all, there is still work to be done.

Last month, Hu Xinren completed several new production lines. It is roughly estimated that the production capacity of virtual helmets can be increased to [-] million units per month. Perhaps this number cannot satisfy global users in a short period of time, but it is more than enough to be the first to be launched in China.

At present, the popularity of virtual helmets has been completely expanded. Almost every day, there are a large number of people at home and abroad urging the helmets to be launched as soon as possible. In this case, it is really not easy to delay for too long.

What's more, Xu Lei also wants to earn influence as soon as possible.

……

Thursday, June 2027, 2.

Binjiang City.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

In the office of the headquarters building, Xu Lei flipped through the data report submitted by Hu Xinren, and nodded from time to time: "Yes, with these virtual helmets and virtual cabins, it is enough to be listed in China."

According to the data mentioned in detail in Hu Xinren's report, the number of virtual helmets in the warehouse of the park has exceeded [-] million.

Up to 50 virtual cabins.

I believe it won't be long before the virtual world will become very lively.

After roughly reading the report, Xu Lei slowly raised his gaze to Chen Shihe in front of him: "How is the preparation for the press conference, especially Fang Yuan?"

In line with the view that it is better sooner rather than later, he set March [-] as the time for the global press conference of the virtual helmet, and will officially open the official website to snap up the virtual helmet after the press conference. Tens of millions of virtual helmets will be released on the first day. A source of helmets.

The follow-up will temporarily adopt the limited rush purchase mode.

Since the company attaches great importance to this global conference, Chen Shihe is basically responsible for it personally.

Seeing that the time is approaching, it is very necessary to grasp the layout of the press conference, Xu Lei does not think that there will be any mistakes.

As an assistant to the president for many years, Chen Shihe understood the role of the virtual helmet product in the company without Xu Lei's special explanation, so it can be said that he did his best on the issue of the press conference.

Facing Xu Lei's inquiry at this moment, he quickly responded: "All the procedures for the press conference have already been prepared, and there is no problem with Magic Star Studio."

"That's good." Xu Lei nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, there is one more thing I need to report to you." After Chen Shihe responded to Xu Lei's question, he seemed to think of something, and added two sentences: "Many people want to advance through our internal channels. Pre-order the virtual headset, which also includes a penguin aspect.”

"They're not stupid."

"Knowing the value of the virtual world, I want to obtain the qualification to enter in advance." A sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Lei's mouth, and he didn't seem surprised by this.

The previous confrontation video, together with the two superpower active platforms, is enough to prove the value of the virtual helmet.

Such a virtual world can be regarded as a new world with unlimited potential.

The value and opportunity will be unimaginable.

As the saying goes, pigs can take off if they stand on the wind, and now the virtual world is a new wind.

It is completely normal for people who are good at seizing opportunities to get a virtual helmet in advance to enter the virtual world to manage their own power.

What's more, the outside world doesn't know how many virtual helmets will be released in the future. If they can't get them, they can only wait for the next wave, which is equivalent to losing the first-mover advantage.

In this case, we can only find a way to go through internal channels.

And Xu Lei can basically guess that among these people, there must be domestic business owners, wealthy companies, and prominent family members.

What surprised him the most was what the penguins did.

Penguin sold its own game business, and chose to stop serving many games. At first, Xu Lei wondered whether Ma Teng knew that they were inferior to Magic Star Studio in games, and planned to break the pot. Now he realized that it was the other party. Focus on the virtual world.

It can only be said that the family is still old and spicy.

Ma Teng can work hard to build such a foundation, and his vision is indeed vicious.

The key is to be bold enough.

"old man!"

The thought stayed here, Xu Lei cursed secretly, and then explained to Chen Shihe: "If you want a virtual helmet to get the key to enter the virtual world, then go buy it through official channels and tell them that I don't have internal channels here."

The virtual world is the second world of human beings in the future. In Xu Lei's imagination, she should be a world that is easy and happy and can bring happiness to people.

Otherwise, what's the point of building this world.

So even if capital wants to develop in it, it must have that strength.

After all, future technology is the manager of the virtual world.

Even the virtual currency system of the virtual world is designed and controlled by him, and outsiders can't make waves at all.

In addition, due to the special coding of the virtual helmet, the existence of scalpers is basically eliminated.

Users need to purchase with their real names, and only one.

After the purchase, it is equivalent to establishing a preliminary binding with the virtual helmet, and it cannot be resold at a high price in the future, and it is impossible for others to use it.

Even if you want to unbind, there will be a certain interval.

In this way, except for the official channels of Future Technology, no one can buy virtual helmets from other places, and everyone is on the same starting line to compete fairly and snap up.

Chen Shihe would naturally carry out Xu Lei's orders resolutely. After getting the result, he didn't have any objections, but just leaned over and nodded.

"It's President Xu."

The voice just fell.

He turned around and walked outside.

Until there were no other people in sight, Xu Lei relaxed a lot, leaned on the chair, looked at the ceiling and muttered thoughtfully: "The influence conversion ratio of the virtual helmet is still too low. It's time to see what's going on with Qin Xiaoman."

In order to achieve the confrontation exercise between the two superpowers, Future Technology produced a total of 20 virtual helmets.

Because from a certain point of view, these soldiers who use the helmets are all internal test users, which naturally brought him a certain amount of influence.

It's just a little bit less.

It is a bit different from the originally imagined value.

At present, the influence of virtual reality technology booths in science and technology museums is [-] points.

According to this conversion ratio, the sales volume of virtual headsets must reach at least one billion units, accounting for almost one-seventh of the world's total population.

It is impossible to achieve it in the short term.

After all, it will take several years to produce one billion virtual helmets at full power.

Unless we continue to build new production bases.

Such a low conversion ratio, in Xu Lei's opinion, may be due to the high attractiveness of the virtual helmet. If it is carefully operated, it will not be a problem to reach one billion users.

The key price aspect is also a problem.

For this reason, he deliberately asked Xingtong to simulate a variety of solutions.

Fortunately, the products using virtual reality technology are not only virtual helmets, but also the nerve connection of prosthetic limbs in charge of Qin Xiaoman and Zhao Lijiang in Xingyuan General Demonstration Hospital, and judging from the information they have passed, considerable progress has been made.

If there is no accident, it should be able to enter the Linchuan experimental stage soon.

At that time, it will be promoted to the society, and I believe it will also bring a certain influence bonus.

In this way, the sales volume of virtual helmets does not need to reach one billion units, but the influence can grow to tens of millions, and new exhibits can be unlocked smoothly.

of course.

Xu Lei didn't get too entangled in this matter.

There are only tens of millions of virtual helmets in stock, and they have not yet been officially launched for sale. It is too early to consider the growth of influence.

So not long after, I saw Xu Lei get up and walk out of the office, and called Xingtong to the Huanxing Studio.

The press conference in a few days will be hosted by him himself, and in order to make the press conference have the desired effect and not be dull, Xu Lei finally made a bold decision.

That is to wear a virtual helmet on the spot and log in to the virtual game brilliance reset by Magic Star Studio.

Under Fang Yuan's decision, Huanxing Game Studio resolutely stopped the service of Guanghui and concentrated the power of the entire studio to reset it. Although the main power of Xingtong was used for the construction of the virtual world in the early days, making the glory of the virtual game The construction progress is very slow, but with the new quantum computer put into use, and Xingtong's shift of focus after completing the construction of the virtual world, the Brilliant Virtual Game has been successfully completed.

The difference is that the virtual helmet will be reopened for public testing after it goes on the market.

Although the value of the virtual world is much higher than that of brilliance, and its function is the second world of human beings, its shocking effect is definitely not as good as that of virtual games.

Who allows players to truly experience the powerful power that humans cannot do in virtual games, flying to the sky and escaping from the ground to be omnipotent, who can refuse.

Xu Lei, as the first player to experience the Brilliant virtual game, will surely detonate the audience at the press conference.

that's it.

A few days passed quickly.

With the eager anticipation of players at home and abroad, the virtual helmet global conference was officially held in Longhu High-tech Park, Binjiang City.

on Monday.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

In the press conference venue, the audience is full of media reporters from all walks of life at this moment, as well as representatives of companies that have cooperated with Huawei Loongson Group to participate, and at the same time, the global simultaneous live broadcast will start.

The scale can be said to be the largest in the history of future technology.

Even the astronauts in the Tiangong space station and the temporary base on the moon can watch.

After the virtual helmet goes on the market, Future Technology will give each astronaut one in the name of the company, and transport it by space elevator.

No matter the Tiangong space station or the Guanghangong lunar base under construction, quantum relay stations are placed inside, so astronauts can use virtual helmets to enter virtual worlds or virtual games when they are not performing missions, completely solving the problem of special and boring environments .

It can better help astronauts clear their minds.

Although Xu Lei's figure has not yet appeared on the stage, users from all over the world have poured into the live broadcast room.

Although this time overseas users are concentrated in the same live broadcast room, due to the changes in the world today, those overseas users only yearn for and envy Yan Fang, so the atmosphere of the whole live broadcast room is not bad.

That is, the barrage refresh rate cannot be observed by the naked eye.

"coming."

"I'm so excited, I'm finally going to see the real face of the virtual helmet."

"My God, this is nothing short of a miracle."

"This kind of thing that can only appear in movies can only be produced by future technology."

"Virtual helmets may become an important turning point in the development of human civilization, so you should buy them anyway."

"I don't know how much the price is?"

"It doesn't matter how much it costs, I want to buy it with a loan."

……

When everyone in the live broadcast room was discussing fiercely, Xu Lei finally appeared on the stage and started his speech with a lot of emotion: "Welcome everyone to see the new product launch conference of Future Technology. This time we sincerely launched a virtual helmet. Hope everyone likes it."

Almost as soon as his voice fell, a silver-gray virtual helmet picture suddenly appeared on the big screen behind him.

And attach several important functions.

Next, Xu Lei introduced the main functions of the virtual helmet.

These include that users can complete work more efficiently in the virtual world, acquire knowledge faster, and even transfer it directly to a certain extent.

The downside is that there is only so much knowledge transmitted daily, too much could overload the brain causing irreversible damage.

But even that is unimaginable.

Coupled with a near-real experience, a virtual helmet is a must-have device no matter how you look at it.

Driven by Xu Lei, the audience's emotions were completely mobilized, and they couldn't wait to know the price of the helmet.

Although some people's attention has shifted from the virtual helmet to Xu Lei, it is harmless and does not affect everyone's expectations for the virtual helmet.

"It's President Xu."

"Being able to host the press conference in person by Mr. Xu is enough to show the importance attached to the virtual helmet."

"I didn't expect to be able to transfer knowledge directly, so I don't need to study in the future, it's so cool!"

"What are you thinking? Minors cannot use virtual helmets, but the way of learning will definitely change. It is estimated that exam-oriented education will usher in a complete reform."

"How much is the price, I'll hurry up and borrow some, so I don't miss the rush to buy at night."

"The time has come to fight hand speed and character. If anyone can grab it, as long as they use it properly, it is not impossible to change their fate."

……

Xu Lei naturally didn't pay attention to the content discussed in the live broadcast room. When the process of the press conference was halfway through, the main event finally arrived.

"I think everyone should have known to some extent that Fantasia Studios announced the discontinuation of the Brilliant Game before. Now that the Brilliant Virtual Game has been built, today I will be the first to experience the charm of this game for you."

At this time, the staff moved a chair and put it on the stage, as well as an important prop virtual helmet.

It is not an exaggeration to say that during this period Xu Lei basically spends time in the virtual world every day, so he is quite proficient in using the virtual helmet. After sitting down on the chair, he decisively picked up the helmet and put it on his head.

Little did they know that the live broadcast room was already full of wailing at this time.

Knowing from Xu Lei's mouth that Huanxing Studio really wanted to stop serving Guanghui, those players who deleted their accounts because they were young could no longer hold back their emotions.

In short, nothing but regret.

After all, for old players with normal accounts, the system will give some compensation.

Whatever the compensation is in this case, it will quickly level up and gain a foothold in the game.

However, this wailing did not last too long, because soon everyone discovered that a new picture appeared on the big screen behind Xu Lei, which was exactly what Xu Lei experienced in the virtual game.

Now the audience in the live and live broadcast room is equivalent to watching Xu Lei's operation from the perspective of God, similar to watching a movie.

In the Brilliant virtual game, Xu Lei looked at the gray wolves that were rushing towards him. Although he could feel the foul wind emanating from the wolves' mouths, his expression did not change at all, just a thought Then he released a few fireballs from his hand, directly blasting the gray wolf out of its fragrance.

Those who die instantly cannot die again.

That's right.

Xu Lei is not an ordinary person in the Brilliant virtual game. The character he chose belongs to a mage, and it is very easy to deal with a few gray wolves.

And for this kind of scene of destroying the enemy with a wave of hands, which can only exist in novels, players simply cannot refuse.

Of course, Xu Lei didn't patronize to play the game, and he didn't forget to interact with the audience in the live broadcast room while doing it, and briefly introduced the virtual world and the rules of the virtual game.

"The Brilliant virtual game has a very high degree of freedom, and everyone can explore it by themselves."

"However, a warm reminder that if you take off your clothes at will in the game, you will be punished by the system. As for whether the relationship between a man and a woman occurs, both parties need to be voluntary. Otherwise, you will be forced to quit and banned depending on the severity."

Listening to Xu Lei's words, the audience in the live broadcast room basically expressed their understanding.

After all, no matter the virtual world or the virtual game, they are essentially a replica of the real world. If there are no rules to rob people at will, no one will dare to log in to the game.

But say so.

As long as the two of you love me, there will be no problem.

And the feeling is no different from reality.

You can even experience the feeling of pregnancy and childbirth in the virtual world.

After learning these contents, the barrage in the live broadcast room once again ushered in a wave of explosive refreshes. Almost everyone was so excited that they couldn't help but wish they could grab Xu Lei's helmet and play by themselves.

"It's so cool to fall in love, get married and even have children in the game. I really want to play."

"That counts as an early try-and-learn experience."

"I regret it so much, I can't wait to give myself two big mouths, why did I delete the game account in the first place."

"It's tears to say, who would have thought that there would be such a thing as a virtual helmet."

"Mr. Xu, stop playing. Hurry up and announce the price and let's open up for grabs, so that you can receive the goods tomorrow according to the speed of the wind."

"Yeah, hurry up and open the snap-up."

……

Naturally, Xu Lei didn't forget his mission. After staying in the Brilliant virtual game for more than ten minutes, he quit voluntarily. After seeing that the rhythm of the entire press conference was about the same, he didn't continue to play tricks.

At the request of everyone, the price of the virtual helmet and virtual cabin was announced directly on the big screen behind him.

However, because it is currently only sold domestically, there is no overseas price for the time being.

The price of the virtual helmet is 8000 yuan, and the price of the virtual cabin is as high as one million. However, in order to increase the sales of the virtual helmet and earn the influence needed, Xu Lei stipulates that users can purchase the virtual helmet by installments.

Otherwise, the selling price of nearly 6 yuan is believed to be impossible for many people to take it out directly.

In addition, Xu Lei also considered setting a lower price, but under Xingtong's simulation calculation, installment payment is the most suitable way.

Moreover, virtual helmets are not consumer electronics like mobile phones and computers. After all, the virtual world and virtual games it connects to have a sound currency system.

Since you can recharge to buy virtual currency, you can also withdraw virtual currency.

That's why companies like Penguin are eager to enter the virtual world.

When the users in the live broadcast room saw the price, they were slightly taken aback for a moment, and then fell into great ecstasy.

No one thought that Mr. Xu would be so conscientious in pricing the virtual helmet, and the key point is that he can also support installment payment, which makes people who were worried about not having enough money completely relieved.

It can only be said that Xu Lei never thought of making money by selling virtual helmets at all. Although there is no shortage of money in future technology, what is more important is that the consumption generated by users in the virtual world will be the majority in the future. In Xu Lei's mind, money is far less influential. valuable.

But it is a pity for overseas users. Knowing that Future Technology has no plan to launch virtual helmets in overseas markets for the time being, I feel very disappointed.

It's like a deflated eggplant beaten by frost.

In desperation, he had no choice but to swipe the barrage in the live broadcast room to express his feelings, and was extremely envious of domestic users.

"Fuck, Mr. Xu is so conscientious at this price, I'm crying to death."

"With the powerful functions of the virtual helmet, the price of less than [-] is indeed very conscientious. Facts have proved that future technology can live up to the reputation of domestic light."

"The most important thing is to be able to pay in installments, which is very friendly to a poor guy like me."

"It's okay to make some money in the game after you get the helmet, and then just pay it off in installments."

"I don't know if I can grab it tonight, there are only ten million units!"

"My god, it's a shame why we don't have virtual headsets here yet."

"If you have money, it is recommended to buy a virtual cabin. It is estimated that the pressure of grabbing will be less."
