Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter nine hundred and seventy one

Ambitious for the future

Lin Feng wants to develop the 3D industry. For everyone, this project is very feasible. At present, all countries are studying 3D technology, but they have not invested a lot of financial resources and manpower for it. After all, for the TV industry, LCD or plasma is mainly used for the time being. There are huge profits in these two aspects. As a manufacturer, naturally there is no People will spend a lot of money now to research 3D technology. Only after the liquid crystal and plasma technologies mature and the market is fully saturated will newer technologies be promoted.

Judging from the current market forecast, 3D technology is undoubtedly the development plan for the next ten years in the future. For the "Second World" game company, there are no technical problems in implementing 3D (out-of-screen) games. From the software perspective, 3D technology has matured. The current difficulty lies in the hardware. The hardware is not difficult. It lies in the technology, but in how to make the price civilian, so that more civilians can accept 3d.

At present, most of the 3D glasses on the market are red and blue glasses. Although the 3D effect can be seen, but after watching for a long time, not only the eyes cannot bear it, but also there is no obvious screen effect, which is far unable to compare with the movie theater. If you can feel the effect like a movie theater at home, that feeling, that kind of enjoyment, is undoubtedly very exciting and lingering.

However, in terms of the current technology of the "Second World", such hardware technology is not yet available. The acquisition of "imax" is undoubtedly the most cost-effective and simplest thing. Use the mature technology of the "imax" company to improve the 3D technology of the "Second World".

imax (the abbreviation of imagemaximum, meaning "maximum image", Chinese pronunciation can be read as "IMAX") is a Canadian company whose core is a film projection system that can project larger and higher resolution than traditional film . The entire system includes film copies, projectors, sound systems, screens, etc. filmed in imax specifications. The standard imax screen is 22 meters wide and 16 meters high, but it can be played on a larger screen. The larger the screen, the stronger the screen effect.

Of course, the cost of movies with the "imax" specification is much higher than that of ordinary movies. It is said that the brightness of the bulb of the projector is amazing, and the light from the imax projector with the highest power (15 kilowatts) can even be seen on the moon. Therefore, the imax projection system is expensive and weighs more than 1.8 tons.

Of course, after the acquisition of "Second World", the focus of subsequent research is how to make the "imax" technology civilian and pocket-sized, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to enjoy this clear and realistic imaging system.

Everyone can predict that once "Second World" really acquires "imax", its subsequent research investment expenditures will be in the billions of dollars. After all, this system wants to be pocket-sized, but not so. Simple, so easy. But the prospects are very gratifying.

If once it is successfully miniaturized, it will have a super weapon capable of challenging "intel" and "nvidia" for the "Second World". For most personal computer users, more than 70% of people buy a computer mainly for playing games or surfing the Internet, while more than 97% of people can play games or watch movies on their computers. If the "Second World" computer can enjoy lifelike 3D movies or games at home at a relatively low price, then consumers will choose "amd" or "intel" without even thinking about it! This profit cannot be rejected by any person or company.

Of course, this is also a kind of gambling. After all, whether "imax" can be miniaturized is not yet known, and no one knows whether it can be miniaturized. This is just a hypothesis, a beautiful imagination. If after investing a huge amount of money, "imax" fails to be miniaturized, or after being miniaturized, its price is far from being affordable by most consumers, it will undoubtedly be a failure, and it will consume a large amount of "Second World" funds. Don’t forget that in addition to “amd” and “ait” which are big money collectors in the “Second World” at present, the World War and Infinite Terror will also be the financial black holes of the “Second World” and will occupy a large amount of the “Second World”. funds.

If there is one more "imax", I am afraid that the finances of the "Second World" will be too tight. Its debt, I am afraid it will reach an alarming figure.

"Boss, at present, the company’s capital turnover has reached a limit, and the company’s current debt is as high as tens of billions of dollars. At this time, I will buy'imax' and invest a lot of money to develop the'imax' pocket. I personally think this is a bit a bit. Take risks!" Although Wu Zhaopu didn't want to challenge Lin Feng, he had to say something for the company's sake.

Everyone nodded. Only the two persons in charge of "amd" and "ati" frowned. Their current situation is not good. They want to fight against the strengths of "intel" and "nvidia", and the miniaturization of "imax" is the best weapon. From their perspective, they really hope that the company can acquire "imax" and apply its technology to computers. However, it is not easy for them to clearly agree with this plan. After all, all this is still unknown, and the risks involved are too great.

What's more, for now, the hardware development department of the "Second World", even without this "imax" pocket-sized technology, can still rely on low prices and good quality to seize the low-end market, not to mention Lin Feng The relationship between the company and the low-end market is gradually increasing. At present, it is almost equal to "intel". And in the future, the company is also preparing to launch cheaper and more cost-effective computers in more third world countries.

Facing everyone's doubts, Lin Feng smiled.

auzw.com"Everyone, with regard to funding, I would like to remind you that funding is definitely not a problem. If necessary, I can provide the company with more than ten billion US dollars in loans again at any time. In terms of the financial resources of the three banks, the Bank, the Bank of East Asia, and the Standard Bank of South Africa, tens of billions of dollars is nothing!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Everyone took a slight breath. There is a difference between having a bank backing and not having a bank backing. In the past, there was no bank backing, and the company could not wait to split one penny into two cents. Moreover, in the resolution of some things, it was always through consultation and discussion, discussion and discussion, and careful analysis of whether each investment was needed, whether it was reasonable, and whether it could be used. Bring rewards. In short, the courage is very small. Now with the backing of the bank, although he is still cautious, he has a lot of confidence. Many things that I only dared to think before can now be realized with great efforts.

For example, this time the acquisition of "imax", if it had been in the past, it would definitely be rejected unanimously. I am afraid that Lin Feng will not necessarily propose such an acquisition plan. After all, the risks and investment involved are too high. It is also a big burden for Lin. Now, there are three banks behind it, and everyone feels that even if the project fails, it doesn't matter, the company still has the possibility of starting again.

"Well, guys, don’t think too much about it. In short, I am convinced that 3d (screening) technology is one of the pioneering technologies in the next decade. If we can develop it first and make the price more affordable, what we have gained The profit return is unimaginable. At that time, if the players' computers and games are owned by our company, it can be said that we will have one more die-hard fan." Lin Feng said, knocking on the table.

Everyone look at me, I look at you, still a little hesitant. After all, this is a very crucial decision for the company anyway. Regardless of Lin Feng's equity and influence, as the company's executives, they must be responsible for the company.

"Boss, are you really so confident?" Wu Zhaopu asked on behalf of everyone.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"I am not absolutely sure, but I believe that this technology is what everyone needs. As a player, it is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing if you can enjoy high-quality pictures (display effect) at home. I believe that as long as the price is Reasonably, many players will also pay for it. Besides, I also dreamed that the game could achieve real 3D. Since I have the ability, why don't I try it?" Lin Feng said very sincerely.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I'm a little bit dumbfounded about Lin Feng's somewhat idealized project.

"Boss, it's better to vote!" Wu Zhaopu saw that everyone was still hesitant, so he proposed to vote.

Based on Wu Zhaopu's understanding of Lin Feng, if Lin Feng is willing to vote when the company has a disagreement, no matter what the final outcome of the matter is, Lin Feng will act in accordance with the group's resolution. Of course, so far, Lin Feng's project has never been rejected. It's just that this time it's really important, and Wu Zhaopu doesn't know whether he should agree or oppose it, so he proposed to vote.

Lin Feng nodded.

Everyone felt relieved. Today, Lin Feng has almost absolute control over the "Second World", but still shows his democratic side, which makes everyone very gratified. With such a restrained boss, why not worry about the company's prosperity.

In the final vote, the game development department rejected Lin Feng’s proposal, but the hardware development department, the two persons in charge, Lu Yizhi of “amd” and He Guoyuan of “ati” both voted in favor. The shares, including Lin Feng's shares, already have the absolute right to speak.

The plan to acquire "imax" is officially approved!

Wu Zhaopu and others were not surprised to pass the acquisition of the "imax" agreement at the meeting. In fact, they also hope to pass this plan in their hearts. After all, if this plan is successful, it will not only bring huge economic benefits to the company, but more importantly, reputation and leadership in the industry. This is the key!

Immediately, the "Second World" through stock market acquisitions and positive negotiations, with the permission of the "imax" company, finally completely acquired "imax" at a price of $1.1 billion and placed it under the "Second World" account.

The outside world was shocked by this news. This acquisition is a bit too unreliable! However, the press conference immediately held by Lin Feng made many companies feel the slightest chill, and all the players were so excited that they almost didn't go to express their gratitude for Lin Feng to erect another statue.
