Chapter 208 Closed Beta Test Quota
The aftermath of Umbrella's "Red Queen" press conference has not died down yet, and with TT's already opened AI painting, the popularity is still increasing.
Mainly because the functions are so powerful.
It can be said that everything has been suppressed in the short term, both at home and abroad.
All the LOL competitions, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds competitions, or Minecraft competitions were suppressed.
It is obviously not entertainment news, but it has the effect of entertaining.
In the past, there were often front-row news about world companies in China, but recently they have been overshadowed by the aftermath of the "Red Queen" press conference.
After all, the subsequent event of mass cultivation of in vitro hematopoietic stem cells came to an end. No one can compare with Umbrella in terms of traffic!
However, although the popularity has been suppressed by Umbrella, it does not mean that World Company has not been active during this period. "Dying to Survive" is still cooperating with Umbrella's hematopoietic stem cells.
Besides, even if the World Company did not make any move, Ahri's money-burning action would not stop.
Because with the gradual popularization of 4G and the increase in smartphone users, the two businesses of food delivery and online taxi-hailing have been officially pushed to the forefront by capital and have begun to be piloted everywhere.
While Ali continues to invest money in live streaming, short videos, traditional videos, and selling goods to compete with global companies, it also leverages their advantages to support food delivery and online car-hailing businesses!
The starting speed is even earlier and faster than in the parallel world.
Normally speaking, Penguin would definitely not let Ahri have the whole thing at this time. With the terrifying traffic of Yaoxin, Penguin has a unique advantage in this regard.
However……
What Wang Yi said on Weibo last time was too offensive. Penguin looked at its bloated body and the fact that it was involved in everything. In order to avoid giving away all these stocks for free in the future, after discussing for a while, it finally decided to give up the competition!
Invest, they will continue to invest, buy some shares, if you want to borrow my traffic, I will let you as long as you pay, but I will not burn money with you.
Without the competition from Penguin, Ahri can be said to be the most popular one at the moment!
Take-out food and online ride-hailing services can provide a large number of jobs and bring real convenience to everyone, which naturally caused a heated discussion.
In fact, many people are still keeping an eye on World Company at this time, even Ahri, because World has the traffic of TT and has the same opportunity to jump out and fight.
And because they didn’t participate in the live broadcast and burn money before, they all knew that the world company had a lot of cash on hand.
Many people even asked questions directly under Wang Yi’s Weibo.
Wang Yi, who had always used the excuse of doing experiments to avoid interacting with netizens, also posted a new update at this time.
"Food delivery and online car-hailing services are indeed two businesses that make life easier. In addition, services such as assisting with small cargo transportation, moving, renting, housekeeping, and sharing electric vehicles are all feasible and can add bricks and tiles to the smartphone era and complete the puzzle."
As soon as Wang Yi’s update came out, many people exclaimed, wow, there are still so many tracks but no one is coming?
And it does look feasible!
But soon, Wang Yi sent another
"But I still say that although it can bring convenience, we must ensure proper and orderly management. Perhaps, when the time is right, our company will also get involved, when the technology level is more mature."
Although Wang Yi's subsequent words can be seen as a warning and reminder, they are also a bit confusing.
Since global companies are also optimistic about this market, why not enter now?
Do you still want to strike back?
The Internet is all about speed and traffic!
Many people don’t understand the choice of World Company. Although many people want to say something, they all remain silent after looking at World Company’s previous achievements.
Even Fang Chuan, the number one hermaphrodite, didn't say anything.
This is because many of the businesses that global companies have done in the past have relied on their technological advantages to catch up!
YY already had a live streaming platform before the live streaming. Was it useful?
No, the compressed channel will crush you instantly. Now Baby Shark is only able to survive by burning money on subsidies and relying on top anchors.
What about short videos? It’s useless even if Slow Hand came up so early!
On the contrary, after TT came out, many mature slow-hand anchors changed their positions and made contributions.
The traffic of the small broken website was originally only one-thirtieth of that of a certain Kuaishou website. What about now?
It’s almost reached halfway point!
Moreover, user stickiness and usage time are completely on a different order of magnitude.
It can be said that anyone with a discerning eye can see that even though Ahri has been burning money, it is still losing ground.
It’s just that Ali is tied to online shopping and they can’t lose this position, so they have to maintain it even if it costs them money.
As a result, now Ali has started food delivery and online car-hailing business in a hurry. The general meaning of the world company is "you guys go ahead and wait for me to make a breakthrough in technology first."
No! Big Brother! What other technological breakthroughs do you want to achieve in food delivery and online ride-hailing?
Anyway, because of Wang Yi’s statement, Ali, which originally did not have Penguin to compete, gritted its teeth and increased subsidies for food delivery riders and online car-hailing drivers!
First rely on subsidies to attract people to join, then expand their own traffic, and make everyone accustomed to the Ali system's food delivery and online car-hailing.
Kangaroo Takeaway and Mumu Taxi are the flagship products of the Ali series.
Moreover, Mumu Taxi itself has close ties with the Mu Group, which can be regarded as a powerful combination.
Ahri also didn't believe that they could lose like this!
But at this time, World Company began to issue new game announcements, which made people feel a little confused.
"Our company's new game "Starry Sky World" is about to enter closed beta testing. Interested players can apply for closed beta testing qualifications. Some places will be reserved for UP hosts and TT video hosts on the small broken station. Apply for portal XXX..."
When some people saw the announcement from World Company, they thought that World Company was about to get involved in the food delivery and ride-hailing businesses, which seemed to have great prospects.
The result is a new game announcement?
At this time, many people also realized that World Company was originally a cultural entertainment game company! It started with games!
There are still many people playing Jump Jump.
"Minecraft" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" are also the most popular games right now.
Apart from that, they have invested in quite a few movies. The World Company’s logo can be seen in the opening credits of several movies that have been released. Coupled with the huge sales of their own movie “Dying to Survive”, this company’s presence in the entertainment industry is quite strong!
But since when have we always been treating world companies as technology companies?
Live broadcast technology, channel compression technology, game optimization technology, anti-cheating technology, intelligent push technology, etc.
Oh, by the way, Master Yi Temo has completed two conjectures on the world's difficult problems, published a paper on artificial intelligence, and is a co-designer of Red Queen!
Even Umbrella said that the underlying algorithm of "Red Queen" was provided by Master Yi!
this……
It is indeed difficult to simply regard the World Company as a cultural entertainment and gaming company...
But regardless of the amazement of ordinary netizens, the gaming community exploded instantly.
New game from World Inc!
Closed beta?
Is this a normal online game?
Both "Minecraft" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" are too amazing and have become phenomenal national games.
Maybe you haven’t played it, but you’ve definitely heard of it!
"It's normal for a world-class company to release traditional online games. For FPS competition, there's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and for sandbox games, there's Minecraft. They won't roll over themselves, so traditional online games are the most likely option."
"I'm looking forward to it. The technology of the world's company is here, and the world's products must be top-notch!"
"Has anyone applied for the closed beta test qualification? I want to get one."
"I've applied for it, but I'm sorry, I can't even sell it. It requires real-name authentication. World Company does a great job in this regard, effectively preventing minors from using it."
"Damn, this is discrimination against minors!"
"Children should not borrow their parents' mobile phones to access the Internet."
"What does it have to do with you? Do you dare to play solo? If you lose, call daddy."
"Sorry, it turns out that he is an underage elementary school student. I can't afford to offend him."
"Do you dare to compete with me in math?"
At least in the gaming circle, for players who like games, the closed beta test of the new game by World Company has directly attracted enough attention.
Several well-known game UP hosts, some game live broadcasters, and even TT video hosts have announced their closed beta qualifications.
This left many of Baby Shark's gaming anchors speechless.
No way?
Don't even look for us? We have more traffic!
Even the top gaming anchor Shark Baby took the initiative to approach the world company and expressed his willingness to do publicity.
But the World Company just sent him a portal and told him that he could go and draw the qualification.
Looking closely, this is the portal to the official website.
It just made people speechless.
Even many big anchors with bad tempers started cursing directly.
"What? This is too exaggerated. Don't games need to be promoted?"
"I swear here that no matter how fun this game is, I will never play it again!"
An anchor named "Gun King" stood on a stool and swore to the sky in front of the camera.
However, netizens soon started to make fun of it in the comments.
"Host, the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds you're currently broadcasting is also from World Company, why don't you just stop playing it..."
Then there is the ban and blacklist package!
Soon after, World announced that the closed beta test quota was full, it began to release some renderings and promotional materials about the game’s features.
A star-studded sandbox game!
Completely open freedom, unlimited exploration, unlimited possibilities.
Space stations, spaceships, planetary crash-lands, and Zerg invasions.
There is no occupation restriction, everyone can learn all skills as long as their attributes meet the requirements!
Soon someone compared it to a game, EVE, a starry sky sandbox game that is relatively difficult to get started, and thought it was a similar situation.
Many people have also left messages on the official website, asking if they need to build their own spaceships and do the mining themselves?
This message was also replied!
"Not entirely. NPC also has its own factories, production lines, transport ships and sales channels."
After hearing this reply, some of the more radical EVE players jumped out.
"What kind of sandbox is this? Isn't this something that can be intervened by humans?"
"That's right, look at EVE, you have to mine to build ships, and it's been released for so long, this is a real space sandbox game! Everyone should just play EVE."
"Super high degree of freedom, you can play however you want, you are just playing with the leftovers."
Good boy, this is an opportunity to recruit new members.
But soon after, the official website of the world company released a new feature.
"The game is connected to 'Red Queen'. All NPCs will have their own AI and action logic. Attacks on NPC minecarts, factories, and transportation will affect production capacity. NPC forces will also have their own development and action logic. It's okay for profiteers to raise prices. Just blow up a few key production factories... "
Red Queen?
Red Queen is integrated into a game?
"Yes, I forgot to mention that, perhaps, we are the first real Red Queen commercial project besides Red Queen review and AI painting, and we can be regarded as the first to try it out..."
