Chapter 373: The final stage begins!
"Is it really coming?"
Penguin Giant and other big guys looked serious as they looked at Chen Lin who was surrounded by the crowd.
Long before they came, they had already received the news that Chen Lin would attend the symposium, so they were not surprised.
On the contrary, representatives from smaller companies looked shocked and hesitated whether to step forward.
after all.
The person sitting there is the boss of the virtual industry.
The true controller of the prehistoric world!
It is not even an exaggeration to say this.
Today, Honghuang occupies almost 90% of the entire global virtual industry!
With a 90% market share, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a monopoly.
It will probably be difficult for other new competitors to snatch food from the tiger's mouth in a short period of time.
They were shocked and surprised that such a popular figure would attend this symposium, and there was a commotion in the venue.
"Let's go! Go over there!"
The news media looked at each other, then rushed over with cameras, their faces full of excitement.
All along.
Boss Honghuang maintains a mysterious image in the industry and rarely appears in the public eye, resulting in many people only knowing Honghuang but not Boss Honghuang.
When they learned that he was attending the symposium for the first time, they were unwilling to miss this opportunity and wanted to take pictures of this extremely newsworthy moment.
The company representatives behind saw this.
They also gave up their plans to move forward.
no way.
Those gathered there now are basically bigwigs from all walks of life.
They would have only added to the jokes in the past, and they probably weren't qualified.
I could only sit there and watch from afar.
"I heard that Honghuang's asset evaluation has come out."
At this time, one of them suddenly whispered.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to him.
"Already out?"
“Are there any specific data?”
Everyone's words were filled with curiosity.
Ever since Honghuang rose to prominence and created a virtual platform, the outside world has been speculating about the status of Honghuang's assets.
The reason is simple.
This studio is not listed!
Yes.
It completed the original accumulation without any capital support, and grew from a small studio of a dozen people to a behemoth like Penguin Giant.
The whole prehistoric period took less than eight years!
This is absolutely unimaginable for them, and can be regarded as a legend in the industry, and is admired by countless entrepreneurs.
The man glanced at the people in the front row, and without keeping anyone in suspense, he lowered his head and said:
"The data is analyzed and counted by several large domestic institutions. Honghuang's revenue last year exceeded the minimum standard of the top 500 companies, and its valuation is around 330 billion, which means... it's on par with Penguin!"
"hiss--"
As the words fell, there was a sound of inhalation.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but glance at the crowd in the distance.
Eight years.
Break into the top 500!
And it’s not on the market yet!
What is the concept?
It is equivalent to the boss of Honghuang alone controlling the entire Penguin assets!
You have to know that even the current CEO of Penguin, as the largest shareholder, only holds 43% of the shares!
"Wait, doesn't that mean that Honghuang is now one of the top 500 companies in the world? And it has directly jumped to the top 300?"
Suddenly, everyone reacted and exclaimed in surprise.
I finally understand why those big guys, whose status is not much lower than Honghuang, are so eager to get close to him.
"This is too scary. I remember that two years ago, Honghuang's annual revenue was just over 100 billion."
"In two years, assets have tripled. Is this the power of the virtual platform?"
"More than that. We are just past the initial stage. Once it stabilizes, it will probably expand a lot."
Ninety percent of the global market is no joke.
Even if other virtual platforms emerge and maintain a 70% to 80% market share by then, the potential they contain will be more than the current level.
And it is different from other sunset industries.
As an emerging industry, the virtual industry has so much to explore.
Once we enter the era of computing power explosion.
They simply couldn't imagine how terrifying Honghuang would be, holding most of the virtual market!
"By the way, Mr. Chen, I wonder if there will be any changes to the virtual project in Honghuang next?"
In the crowd.
A group of bigwigs gathered together and had a great time talking.
Finally someone asked the question that they were most concerned about.
As the initiator of virtual game technology.
The trend of prehistoric times is equivalent to the trend of the virtual industry .
For example, the previous virtual game engines, virtual movies and TV shows, and online sports games, each of them has had a huge impact on an industry and naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Including Chen Rui.
All eyes were focused on Chen Lin.
"The movement..."
Chen Lin thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "We should develop some game IP sequels and real-world incarnations. I hope the virtual world can be more realistic."
Reality loading?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and secretly took note of this matter, even though it was just said in a joking tone.
After all, no one would be willing to reveal too much about such confidential matters, nor would they say too much.
that's all.
The bigwigs from all walks of life had a great conversation.
After more than ten minutes of hypocritical chatting, the symposium finally officially began.
This conference was organized by the National Internet Association.
The main content is to bring together major companies to discuss issues such as the future development trends of the Internet and extended industries, digital and real integration, scientific and technological innovation, and network security.
It is also an offline gathering of Internet giants.
It was Chen Lin's first time to attend the meeting, and he was in a good mood. He just sat there and listened quietly, chatting with Chen Rui and others next to him from time to time.
But I don’t know.
News of his participation in the symposium.
It has already exploded on the Internet.
Especially the previous conversation about future plans made the players excited.
"IP sequel! Is there going to be a sequel to Honghuang's game?"
"And it was Boss Honghuang who said it himself!"
"Oh my god! This is the best news I've heard this year."
"There are too many IPs under Honghuang!"
"If you have questions, ask more. Why don't you ask about the future direction of game production?"
Before the symposium ended, the news had already spread widely in the gaming community, sparking countless discussions.
Many people have begun to speculate which sequel to Honghuang’s game will be and how it will be released, and they are very much looking forward to it.
In comparison.
Those manufacturers were confused and uncertain.
Instead, I care more about the second half of Chen Lin’s sentence: reality loading!
Their understanding is that Honghuang wants to create a game that is like the real world!
If it can really be achieved.
That means something completely different.
As soon as the news spread, not only domestic manufacturers, but also many large foreign manufacturers received the news.
They didn't quite believe that Honghuang could achieve this level now, but there was no guarantee that it couldn't be achieved in the future, so they all worked hard to improve their virtual technology to avoid falling too far behind.
Just like when Microsoft announced that it would research AI, they also prepared in advance and finally got a share of the AI market.
now.
It was Honghuang who led the era!
…
"Mr. Chen, it's settled then."
Just when the online argument was in full swing.
At the symposium, Chen Lin, who had just finished the meeting, also left and went outside accompanied by Chen Rui and others.
"As for the details of the cooperation, we can send someone over to discuss it in detail when the time comes. I have something to do and I'll leave first."
Chen Lin said goodbye to them with a smile, got on the car to the airport, and drove away.
Overall.
He gained a lot from this symposium.
Not only did we discuss several cooperation projects, but we also learned about the virtual technology research and development progress of Penguin and Giant, so it was not a wasted trip.
When he could no longer see the crowd behind him, he rubbed his brows and leaned back in the back seat.
"Mr. Chen, are we going directly to the airport?"
Qin Meng, who was driving, tilted his head slightly.
"Well, let's go to the airport. Drive slowly."
Chen Lin responded without looking up, but silently watched the scenery passing by outside the window.
He remembered that in his previous life, he had lived in this city, working hard from dawn to dusk.
In the end, he became like most people who have moved to Beijing.
Nothing was accomplished, the relationship broke down, and I had to leave.
But even so, this place holds many memories for him, which is why he made a special trip here.
Since coming to this similar yet different world, Chen Lin has often been thinking about it.
What am I to this world?
If it weren’t for that high fever in college a few years ago, there wouldn’t have been so many things that happened later, right?
if.
If there is a chance to go back.
What choice will he make?
Should I choose the relatives and friends over there, or the successful career here?
This question.
He still can't give himself an answer.
【Congratulations, you have two games with sales exceeding 100 million. 】
【The ninth stage is completed.】
【Please select one of the following rewards. 】
Sudden.
A sudden voice sounded.
Chen Lin, who was still thinking about his life, suddenly woke up.
Stage 9.
It was completed at this time.
It seems that the sales of "Minecraft" have exceeded 100 million, and it has only been ported to the virtual terminal for one year.
After taking a glance at Qin Meng who was concentrating on driving, he called up the interface.
As in stage 8, two options appear.
[Reward 1: Virtual Reality Imaging Technology]
[Reward 2: Virtual Reality Haptic Technology]
It was just as he expected.
Both rewards are related to the virtual side.
If he had chosen biological vision digitization, there might have been two other rewards.
The only thing that makes me confused is which one to choose.
Both options are described in detail below.
The first real-life imaging, as its name suggests, can actually be scanned by the device to present the player and even the real object as it is in the game.
The second one is similar, it can increase the upper limit of the five senses and completely restore the real five senses.
Both are good improvements.
Unfortunately, I can’t have them all.
This system is clearly messing with people's mentality.
However, after thinking about it, Chen Lin's eyes fell on the first option.
Just as he said at the symposium today, the future direction of Honghuang Virtual is real-world loading, and he was not kidding.
The second option, improving the five senses, is actually completely unnecessary for the game.
Is there any perverted gamer who would turn up the tactile sense to the maximum and go into the game specifically to be tortured?
Even if it really existed, he didn't dare to give it too high a permission level and always kept it below 30%.
Otherwise, if someone dies on the spot while playing games, it would be no joke.
The 100% touch in novels and movies is complete bullshit.
So quickly, he reached out and tapped, choosing the first reward.
【Choose success.】
【Reward: Virtual Reality Imaging Technology】
【The final stage begins.】
[Requirement: Top 50 game in the world with 500 million sales x1]
[Reward: Unknown]
Final stage?
Hearing the prompt, Chen Lin was stunned and looked at the interface a few more times.
After confirming that it was correct, he became confused and uncertain.
He never thought that this tenth stage would be the final stage, and the requirements were ridiculously high.
Forget about a game with 500 million sales.
What does the world's top 50 mean?
You should know that those who can enter this ranking are all leading companies in various countries, standing at the top of the world.
Even a dominant company like Juying is ranked outside the top 30.
Although Honghuang is relatively prominent in the gaming industry, it is still a little short of making it into the top 50.
The main reason is that the time for capital accumulation is too short!
Is this dog system crazy?
In the end, it was really rude of him to assign him such a perverted task .
at the same time.
He was also very curious.
What kind of reward is worthy of the name of this final stage?
"Mr. Chen, we've arrived at the airport."
Just thinking about it.
Qin Meng's voice came.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the busy airport square.
Around the airport entrance, there were a large number of media and people gathered.
