Chapter 282 The Greatest Existence

At twelve o'clock in the morning, the official website of Future Technology officially opened the rush-purchase channel for virtual helmets and virtual cabins.

The user who had been waiting for a long time took out his fastest speed at this moment, clicked on the product link to pay for the purchase, and was afraid that if he fell behind a little bit, he would lose his hands.

However, such a lively scene cannot be experienced by overseas users in person.

Can only act as a spectator.

After all, it is reasonable for Future Technology to choose to launch virtual helmets first in the domestic market. No matter how anxious they are, they can only wait patiently.

It is hoped that the virtual helmet can be launched in overseas markets as soon as possible.

In this regard, Xu Lei also specially issued a statement, saying that overseas virtual helmets will be launched in the near future.

Considering that one billion virtual helmets may be needed to gather enough influence, he designed a new production base for Xingtong.

And has made Jia Zhongjie and Hu Xinren responsible.

The base can be put into operation in a few months at the earliest.

At that time, the monthly production capacity of virtual helmets will increase to tens of millions, which is enough to ensure the demand of the global market and completely solve the problem of slow growth in influence.

Also.

Xu Lei has also carefully considered the establishment of future technology branches overseas.

Nowadays, the future technology has grown to an unimaginable level, and the external forces will only curry favor with them, so it is worthwhile to set up an overseas branch. The main thing is that in the future, the virtual world will completely become the second world of human beings around the world, and there will definitely be various It is obviously not enough to rely on the Longhu High-tech Park in Binjiang City alone.

However, the matter of the branch office is not a child's play, and the site selection and high-level personnel need to be carefully selected.

It will take some time to realize it.

Fortunately, Xu Lei has already handed over the matter to Xingtong, asking her to access the global talent information database and first select candidates suitable for overseas assignments.

The method of sending additional personnel was the result of Xu Lei's serious consideration. The current core figures of the company, Lu Hongbo, Jia Zhongjie, Zhang Xia, Hange, and the others had no experience in overseas affairs.

In addition, after finally cultivating subordinates that he can use easily, he is really helpless when he is suddenly sent overseas.

Especially Lu Hongbo.

Xu Lei didn't think he could find such a caring subordinate like him.

at the same time.

Shenzhen.

Penguin headquarters building.

It was already late at night, but the largest office building was still brightly lit. If outsiders saw this scene, they would guess that it was forced to work overtime to oppress employees.

Of course it is true.

But the work done overtime is different from that during the day.

Whether it is a programmer or an administrative position, at the moment everyone sits wherever they want, but their eyes are fixed on the screen projected by the holographic smart quantum device in their hands.

Don't dare to be careless.

It seems to be afraid of missing something important.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the content displayed on the screen is the virtual helmet snap-up page on Future Technology’s official website.

After the virtual helmet appeared on the market, Ma Teng, out of his keen sense of the market, knew that the traditional game industry had been subverted. Under such circumstances, he had to complete his transformation as soon as possible.

So at the company's high-level meeting, he decided to give up the game business against all odds.

Although it has been resisted and abused by many players.

In his plan, he intends to cooperate with Future Technology to see if he can take the lead in obtaining a batch of virtual helmets through internal channels.

In this way, people in their own company can take the lead in entering the virtual world, use company assets to recharge virtual currency, buy regional buildings in the virtual world, and open the company there.

He believes that the number of people online in the virtual world will be no less than that in the real world.

Because this represents the most advanced technology of mankind.

However, although his idea is great, it has hit a wall in the future technology, and it is impossible to get the virtual helmet through other channels.

Although it has had a considerable impact on their plans, fortunately other forces cannot intervene.

The key virtual helmets are only available in China for the time being, but the virtual world is not. So when overseas forces enter the virtual world, these local forces have already established a firm foothold in the virtual world.

Truly realize the two-way absolute right guarantee in the virtual world and the real world.

Even with future technology, no matter what measures overseas forces take, they will not be able to turn the tide.

Faced with such a situation, Ma Teng must not be reconciled to seeing his plan frustrated, so he thought of a new idea.

That is, in the name of the company, let employees rush to buy virtual helmets today, and the company will also provide certain subsidies. Thinking that tens of thousands of people in the company will grab them at the same time, tens of millions of virtual helmets can grab a few hundred at least .

These will be the capital for Penguin to enter the virtual world.

And in order to improve competitiveness as much as possible, Ma Teng also ordered people to purchase a lot of holographic quantum intelligent terminal equipment of future technology, so that employees can use this equipment to snap up.

For the employees of the company, the virtual helmet has already left a deep impression in their hearts. Knowing that this represents the direction of future development, they naturally want to buy one. Now that there are company subsidies, it must be a joyful rush to buy, so even if the current It was late at night and everyone was still in high spirits.

If you want to talk about why everyone stays in the company to buy, it is because you are worried that staying at home may cause you to miss the buy due to some special circumstances.

After all, with the current significance and popularity of virtual helmets, there may be hundreds of millions of people scrambling to grab them at the same time tonight. There are only tens of millions of virtual helmets, which is not enough.

It has to be said that this is the case.

When the snap-up channel was officially opened, tens of millions of virtual helmets were snapped up in just two seconds.

There is not even a virtual cabin with a price of one million.

This made the penguin building burst into wailing, which seemed to have underestimated everyone's expectations for the virtual helmet.

"Damn it, seconds are gone!"

"This is the hand speed of being single for so many years, I haven't realized it yet."

"My virtual helmet, damn it!"

"I can't get it tonight, and there will only be a very small number of units released every day. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to snap up."

"Why don't you let me snap it up, I'm still waiting to experience the virtual game!"

……

But just as Ma Teng planned, the tens of thousands of employees in the entire company are definitely not all the Air Force, and there are also many lucky ladies who favor those who successfully grab it.

no doubt.

These people were eagerly looked at by everyone.

"I got it!"

"Payment successful, that's great!"

"I'm so lucky tonight, I feel like I can buy lottery tickets."

"Now I'm waiting for Brother Shunfeng to deliver the things. It's really exciting!"

"I really envy."

"Why wasn't I the one who grabbed it?"

It is worth mentioning that since the delivery place of the virtual helmet is Binjiang City, and there is no advance storage and transshipment, even if the speed of the wind is fast, it will take two days in other provinces.

"Chairman, the preliminary statistics of the virtual helmets we have snatched come out." At this moment, the excited Zhang Tiandong didn't bother to knock on the door, and directly broke into the lounge, wanting to report the situation to Ma Teng as soon as possible.

"Okay, well done." Ma Teng, who was sitting on the sofa patiently waiting for the result, stood up abruptly, and cast a pair of expectant eyes on the other party: "How many virtual helmets have been snapped up in total, have they reached the expected value?"

Zhang Tiandong nodded: "Preliminary statistics show that the number of virtual helmets is more than [-], and there are also several virtual cabins."

"not bad."

For this number, Ma Teng seemed to be quite satisfied, and his expression immediately relaxed a lot.

After a tactical pause for a few seconds, he spoke again: "These virtual helmets will be the capital for us to enter the virtual world. In addition, players will be selected from the employees who snapped up the virtual helmets to form the Shining Game Guild. Say it again."

"Don't worry, Chairman, I will take care of it." Zhang Tiandong said firmly, his eyes full of confidence.

Ma Teng was relatively relieved about Zhang Tiandong's ability to work. Considering that it was getting late, he hurriedly ordered: "There is nothing to do today, let everyone go back as soon as possible."

"It's the chairman."

Zhang Tiandong nodded again, then turned and exited the office.

In addition to the virtual world, Brilliance, as the world's first virtual game, will definitely become a hot spot that everyone pays attention to.

Establishing a game guild can play a huge role in subsequent operations.

Maybe in the future there will be a global competition of the giant Brilliant virtual game.

Until Zhang Tiandong's figure completely disappeared from the field of vision, Ma Teng touched the quantum device in his hand, and the holographic screen instantly appeared in front of him.

You can see the words payment successful on it.

At Ma Teng's current grade, he is really not very interested in things on the Internet, but this time the virtual helmet launched by Future Technology gave him the idea of ​​experiencing it, and it is related to the future development of the company, so he naturally participated in it. snapped up.

Perhaps it was because his luck had not been completely exhausted that he managed to snap up a virtual cabin.

"The virtual era has arrived, and people are really looking forward to it!" Finally, with Ma Teng's voice, the lights in the building began to gradually go out.

……

Tonight will definitely be a sleepless night for Future Technology’s warehouse and Shunfeng personnel. In order to allow users to receive virtual helmets as soon as possible, they began to distribute goods in the middle of the night.

Shipped in the order of payment order.

Although it was hard and tiring, the faces of those Shunfeng brothers were always full of joy.

Because of the particularity of the virtual helmet, Future Technology and Shunfeng signed a transportation agreement, requiring Shunfeng to carry out the transportation and delivery independently.

Do not mix with other couriers.

And there is a higher unit price commission.

In addition, the virtual helmet has been reported to the aviation industry, and most areas are transported by plane. The timeliness is relatively fast, and users will not have to wait for too long.

The next day.

Under the expectation of users in Binjiang City and the province, the snapped up virtual helmets were delivered one after another with the wind.

The first thing you do when you get the virtual helmet is to complete the binding and enter the virtual world and virtual game.

Of course, the most important thing has not been forgotten.

That is, recharge virtual currency.

Some people have enough courage and accurate judgment, so they directly recharge a large amount to buy a house in a residential area in the virtual world.

Because for many people, with a virtual helmet, they will definitely spend longer in the virtual world than in the real world. Since the housing prices in the real world are no longer within reach, why not choose a house in the virtual world.

Besides, it's cheap enough.

Besides.

There are also people who buy game props in the Brilliant Virtual Game to help their game characters quickly upgrade their level.

These are all within the allowed range of the rules, and the authorities will not intervene. Anyway, there are star pupils enough to ensure the healthy and stable operation of the virtual world.

As for those glorious old players, they will get an initial item as compensation after using the virtual helmet to go online again. The major game guilds compete for players.

On the other hand, those who deleted their accounts out of impulsiveness felt even more sad when they heard the news.

I just vomited blood with regret.

It's also worth mentioning that some people find it extremely productive to work in a virtual world using a virtual headset.

For example, a job that usually takes eight hours to play can be completed in two hours in the virtual world, and the rest can be done whatever you want in the virtual world, or directly connected to the virtual game.

For this reason, many enterprise companies have also begun to gradually promote employees to use virtual helmets to work.

Imagine.

Near future.

When the virtual helmet becomes a device that everyone owns, then there is no need to go to the company to go to work, and employees can wear the virtual helmet at home to complete their work efficiently.

But it also requires companies to buy places in the virtual world.

It can only be said that relying solely on the sale of regional buildings in the virtual world, the funds obtained are much more than the selling price of the virtual helmet.

So in a way, the price of tens of thousands of virtual helmets is actually high.

Xu Lei naturally has plans for this. When the new base is put into use to ensure the supply of virtual helmets, when they go online in overseas markets, the domestic price will usher in a new wave of downward adjustments.

It's also about gaining influence.

Once upon a time, the masses were overwhelmed by heavy work and had no life of their own.

But now the virtual helmet has completely solved this problem, and society will undergo earth-shaking changes, which can be called a major change that has never been seen in human history.

Another characteristic of human beings is that they like to show off.

For the first batch of users who grab the virtual helmet and get their hands on it first, after truly experiencing the power of the virtual helmet, they will naturally take the time to express their experience on the commonly used website platform.

As a result, many related articles and videos appeared on the Internet that day.

The comment area is full of lemon sour.

"Thank you, I just went downstairs to pick up the courier, and I haven't used it yet."

"Is the landlord from Binjiang City? I received the goods so quickly, and mine is still in transit."

"I'm jealous!"

"You lucky dogs, can you stop showing off?"

"I just paid [-] virtual coins, whoever has the props of the brilliant virtual game can chat with me privately."

"Boss, please accept my knee, and I rushed 100 million directly."

"An advice to those who haven't snatched a virtual helmet yet, don't be stingy about investing in virtual currency. It will definitely hold its value better than gold. The virtual world is definitely a great existence."

"I really love Mr. Xu. No matter what he does in the virtual world, he is very efficient. It is foreseeable that human technology will usher in a big explosion in the next few years."

……

But as the saying goes, everything is a double-edged sword.

Great changes have taken place in society, which will face two results.

Human civilization is progressing.

The world structure collapsed.

Perhaps the younger generation is willing to accept the convenience and experience brought by virtual helmets, but in the hearts of many older generations, this is dancing on the tip of a knife.

It can easily lead to social unrest.

So when everyone is immersed in the changes brought about by the virtual world, many people on the Internet also questioned this, and demanded that the future technology should turn off the virtual world, and at the same time abolish the currency system of virtual games, making it a pure game.

Those who support this point of view include many lawyers and professors and other well-known people.

It can be said that only those who are stubborn in their thinking will not be afraid of the influence of today's future technology.

However, they are not very good at network operation after all, the sound they make can't make waves at all, and everyone's attention is still on the virtual helmet.

They are all wondering when they will be able to get the virtual helmet in their hands.

at the same time.

Binjiang City.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

In the conference room, Chen Shihe, who was wearing a black hip-covering business attire, was reporting to Xu Lei about the sales of virtual helmets in the early hours of the morning.

"Report to Mr. Xu."

"Our virtual helmet and virtual cabin were sold out in just two seconds yesterday, and the warehouse is currently cooperating with the people with the wind to seize the time to ship and transport."

"Very good." Xu Lei nodded without changing his face.

Although Xu Lei had expected this result, but after learning that tens of millions of virtual helmets were robbed in just two seconds, he still couldn't help being excited. He didn't expect that the outside world's expectations for virtual helmets far exceeded him. imagination.

After all, even if most people pay in installments, the sales brought to the company will be astronomical.

What's more, there are still so many people who have recharged in the virtual world.

However, since the vast majority of virtual helmets are still on the road and in warehouses, Xu Lei's influence has only grown slightly.

But I believe that when the users get the purchased virtual helmets in a few days, the influence will be increased by at least [-] according to the previous conversion ratio.

Just as Xu Lei was thinking about this, Chen Shihe's voice came from next to his ear: "At present, we plan to release 100 million virtual helmets every day to satisfy users' snap-ups. With the efficiency of the existing production line, it can be satisfied, but it is possible in a short time. It is not yet possible to go online in overseas markets.”

The content of Chen Shihe's report must be supported by Hu Xinren's data, and Xu Lei has no objection to this.

Just talking about overseas markets again, we have to mention the new production base.

As soon as the idea emerged, Xu Lei immediately shifted his gaze to Jia Zhongjie: "How is the progress of the new virtual helmet production base?"

"boss."

"At present, the location of the new base has been determined, and it has also entered the construction stage. With the cooperation of Professor Hu's intelligent modular production line, I am sure that it will be put into use within two to three months."

Facing his boss's inquiry, Jia Zhongjie immediately promised.

Since Qin Xiaoman and Zhao Lijiang are basically at the Xingyuan General Demonstration Hospital, they did not participate in today's meeting, and could not ask about the progress of the prosthetic nerve connection. Considering that this is also related to the increase in influence, Xu Lei was also secretly thinking in his heart whether he should take the time to go there in person.

There is no need for Xu Lei to worry too much about the rest of the meeting, after all, it is useless to worry about the new base.

Anyway, with Liu Gaowen in charge, and with the funds in place, it will definitely not take too long.

Jia Zhongjie talked about two or three months, and the normal situation is relatively conservative. In reality, it is estimated that it will be completed in less than two months. As long as the base is put into use, tens of millions of virtual helmets can be produced every month.

Not only can it quickly satisfy the domestic market, but it can also be officially launched overseas.

But just when Xu Lei was about to stand up and announce the end of the meeting, he noticed that Chen Shihe's face was a little unnatural. Thinking of what happened to Xingtong last time, he directly asked, "Is there anything Shihe wants to say?"

"Mr. Xu, there is indeed a small matter." Seeing that he was named, Chen Shihe no longer concealed anything: "You should take a look at this first."

It's just that she and he didn't report directly, but took out the holographic quantum terminal device and projected a holographic screen.

I did not forget to explain to everyone: "The above article was just released today, which criticized our company's virtual helmet and even asked us to close the virtual world. It was only because the popularity was relatively low that I hesitated whether to participate in the meeting. report."

Speaking of which, Xu Lei has not met anyone who dared to openly question the future technology for a long time. Hearing what Chen Shihe said at this time, he became a little interested.

The same is true of Jia Zhongjie, Lv Hongbo and others present here.

They all weighed up carefully.

Looking around, Xu Lei saw that the person who posted this article was called Ruan Deshou, and the account should be his real name depending on the situation.

As for the content of the article, the central idea is also very clear, which is to accuse Future Technology of constructing a virtual world hastily, and the establishment of a currency system such as virtual currency will seriously affect the stability of society, and should be closed immediately.

Moving down the line of sight is the character information that Chen Shihe investigated.

Ruan Duc Tho.

Professor at Imperial University.

internal reference members.

Well-known experts in the field of economics.

……

"Good guy, there are quite a few titles." Xu Lei complained secretly in his heart.

In the comment area of ​​the article, the number of people who support and oppose is basically mixed. Obviously, the popularity of the article is not high, and it does not attract too many people's attention.

But when Lu Hongbo and the others read it, they felt a little upset, and before Xu Lei could react, they couldn't help discussing it.

"This professor's targeting is too obvious. Our virtual helmet is obviously the highest technology of human civilization, and it is something that can lead human civilization to a new level. How could he turn off the virtual world as soon as he said it?"

"The development of civilization is always accompanied by turbulence, how can we stay in the comfort zone all the time."

"It can only be said that his understanding of virtual helmets is too one-sided, and I'm afraid he has never really experienced it. I think publishing this article is just to gain popularity."

He listened to Jia Zhongjie and Lu Hongbo's words, but Chen Shihe didn't bother to talk to them. He still looked at Xu Lei and asked, "Mr. Xu, how should we deal with this matter?"
