Chapter 1024 US: Why Is It This Damned Person Again? !

At the same time, on the other side.

In Shenzhen, in the headquarters building of Tencent Group, a small meeting of internal executives is being held.

The brain-computer interface chip technology and bionics intelligent prosthetic technology disclosed by Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Company are undoubtedly the theme of this meeting.

Of course, what attracts their attention is mainly the brain-computer interface chip and the virtual reality technology behind it.

For Tencent Group, which takes social software as its core foundation, the huge user base is undoubtedly their most powerful moat.

And the various businesses and products derived from more than 1.3 billion monthly active users are their money-making tools.

For example, various value-added businesses with the strongest money-making ability, including games, account for more than half of the total revenue of the entire group.

For them, relying on a large user base and extremely high user conversion costs can stabilize the top spot of domestic Internet companies.

No matter who comes, facing the Penguin Group, which has almost fully penetrated into all aspects of society, there is nothing they can do.

But the brain-computer interface chip technology launched by Starlight Technology obviously has the power to subvert the entire Internet.

As a technology that can establish a social platform in virtual space, allowing users to communicate and interact with others in a virtual environment and increase the realism of social experience, the impact of virtual reality technology on the modern Internet is like Mars hitting the Earth, which is devastating.

Of course, for the development of society, or for the Internet, virtual reality technology is like the impact of electricity on the industrial revolution.

It is precisely because of the mastery of this cheap and widely applicable energy that the industrialization process of mankind has been able to develop rapidly, and factories and machines can also produce goods on a large scale, greatly improving production efficiency and output.

The development of communication technology derived from it, such as telegraph, telephone, Internet, etc., makes information transmission and communication convenient and fast, shortening the distance between people.

If modern Internet technology is likened to traditional chemical fuels such as oil and coal, then further virtual reality technology will occupy the "electricity" of the future!

This is a stall where new and old technologies are about to be handed over. The matter of virtual reality technology will make the entire Internet world updated.

This will give birth to countless huge markets related to it, and will also bury the original aging Internet world.

Sensing the potential crisis and opportunity, the president of Penguin Group immediately convened an emergency meeting of internal executives.

".Can we acquire this Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Company?"

In the office, an executive frowned and proposed after learning the content of today's meeting.

For Penguin, there is a lot of money, and the game advertising and Internet businesses can bring them hundreds of billions of profits every year.

As for previous competitors, they have never been stingy about directly acquiring with money.

Sitting opposite the executive who wanted to acquire Starlight Technology, another middle-aged man in a suit and tie said with a wry smile: "Old Yu, do you want to see who owns this company before you say this?"

"Who?"

Old Yu asked subconsciously, and then flipped through the meeting documents on the table.

When the familiar name came into view, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Why is it him again?!"

Across the conference table, the middle-aged man who interrupted before laughed and teased: "Acquisition? Even if he is willing to sell it to you, do you dare to buy it?"

Hearing this, Lao Yu's mouth moved. Just when he was about to refute that there was nothing he dared not buy, he immediately closed his thoughts.

Not to mention whether that person would sell patents and product technologies related to virtual reality, even if he was willing, he might not be able to pass the review of the State Commerce Commission.

If this epoch-making product technology is really sold, the review will probably take three to five years.

And since it is related to that person, the higher-ups will probably investigate them first.

Sitting in the first seat, Xiao Ma knocked on the table, drew everyone's attention, and said: "Don't think about acquisitions. What we need to think about now is how to get in touch with Starlight Technology and reach cooperation."

After a slight pause, he added: "If possible, it is best to cooperate in all aspects. If not, at least get cooperation in the fields of social media and games."

In the conference room, several executives nodded in agreement.

If it is impossible to acquire virtual reality technology from the other party, then cooperation is necessary.

Virtual reality technology is too important for them. It is a technology that can shake the foundation of the entire group.

At this point, the president of the group looked at Wang Juhong, the vice president who is in charge of Tencent's open source technology, and asked in a deep voice:

"Is it possible for us to acquire another company that is developing virtual reality technology, and then the group will invest in research and development?"

He knew very well that it was impossible to acquire the brain-computer interface chip and virtual reality technology of Starlight Technology. If someone else had this technology, they could still try it.

But standing behind Starlight Virtual Reality Technology is Academician Xu, so forget about this idea.

Facing that person, Penguin Group has nothing to offer to attract the other party to make an equivalent exchange.

It is even more impossible to throw money directly.

If you really want to compete with someone who has more money, maybe the annual net profit of the entire Penguin Group may not be as much as the other party's annual income.

The exact amount of Professor Xu's assets is a mystery, but the 5% annual dividend from Fusion Energy Power Company alone is enough to rival their annual net profit.

Not to mention that the other party also controls many extremely profitable technical fields such as batteries, superconductivity, aerospace, carbon nanomaterials, etc.

That is to say, the major rich list cannot expose his wealth, otherwise the position of the world's richest man would have changed hands long ago.

In the conference room, Wang Juhong shook his head and said: "This is almost impossible."

"There are many companies developing virtual reality technology in various countries. China is not the first country. The United States is at the forefront of this field, such as Oculus VR acquired by Facebook, ImmersiON and Occipital, etc."

"But so far I have never heard of any company that has made a major breakthrough in this area, or that can achieve the level of Starlight Technology."

"but."

Speaking of this, the senior vice president of Tencent Open Source Technology looked through the report documents, thought for a while and then said: "Perhaps in addition to cooperation, we may also participate in the research and development of virtual reality technology of Starlight Technology. "

Hearing this, everyone present looked over.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Juhong picked up the report document on the table and continued: "Judging from the current information released by Starlight Virtual Reality Technology, the person responsible for this research should not be Academician Xu himself."

"Maybe he provided a lot of help inside, but the real person in charge of Starlight Technology is his sister, Ms. Xu Xiao."

"Of course, what's important is not this, but their current research and development progress on virtual reality technology."

"Judging from the clinical medical videos published on the official website of Starlight Technology, their technology research and development in the field of brain-computer interface chips has been very mature."

"At least it has been possible to smoothly control bionic mechanical prosthetics through smart chips."

"But mature brain-computer interface chips do not represent mature virtual reality technology. The former is definitely still a long way from the latter. Otherwise, what Starlight Technology will launch will not be brain-computer interface chip technology, but virtual reality. technology."

"Of course, I don't know exactly how long the research and development road is. After all, I am not an expert in the field of neural information."

"I suggest consulting with insiders, and then find ways to use the group's advantages to participate in Starlight Technology's subsequent research and development of virtual reality technology, and strive to become a shareholder!"

After a slight pause, he looked at the person sitting in front and continued: "If I remember correctly, the group has cooperation in the aerospace field with the Xinghai Research Institute led by Academician Xu."

At the top of the list, Mr. Ma from the Penguin Group nodded and said, "I will find a solution on this matter. Do you have any other opinions?"

At the conference table, Zhang Wei, the vice president in charge of the game sector, said: "In addition to cooperation and research and development, I suggest that we make arrangements in the field of virtual reality technology in advance."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"Social networking and games are our two most important areas, and they are also areas where virtual reality technology is closely related."

"Especially the latter, I believe everyone knows the advantages of virtual reality technology in the gaming field. It is absolutely incomparable to traditional electronic devices."

"It is foreseeable that in the next ten or twenty years, the market related to virtual reality games will definitely explode. If we do not want to lose the opportunity, we need to make arrangements in these fields in advance."

"Of course, if possible, there are also e-commerce, artistic creation, film and television, etc., we can try them all."

"Perhaps the emergence of virtual reality technology is our opportunity to enter these areas that we have not been able to enter before."

While Penguin Group was holding an internal meeting, on the other side.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, United States.

In a group of white buildings, a similar meeting was being held urgently.

The sudden emergence of brain-computer interface chip technology and bionic mechanical prosthetic technology has caused confusion among all related high-tech companies in the United States.

No one expected that in this technical field where they had always been far ahead, Huaguo suddenly overtook Biu in a corner and ran directly in front of them.

But when everyone saw the people behind Starlight Technology, they all suddenly understood, and all that was left was confusion and curses.

Xu Chuan!

Why is it this damn person again? !

In the White Room, in the Presidential Conference Room, a certain gentleman with a cool hairstyle was staring at his subordinates with a furious look on his face. The roar could be heard clearly through the corridor with a thick door.

"Can anyone tell me? What happened to the tens of billions of dollars invested in the past year?"

"Why did brain-computer interface chip technology appear in China instead of ours!"

"Can anyone tell me why this is?"

"Shit! Shit, are you a bunch of trash?"

Looking at the angry Mr. President, several people standing in the office lowered their heads and kept silent, for fear that they would attract attention without paying attention.

In particular, Eric Randall, director of the OSTP Office of Science and Technology Policy, looked even more embarrassed, his face almost covered with spittle.

Damn it, how did he know that China suddenly broke out in virtual reality technology?

It is clear that the United States is the leader in this field. Just like the chip field, it originally had a huge gap with other countries, but if it was not careful, it completely collapsed.

No!

Maybe this isn't their problem.

After a transaction quickly flashed through his mind, Eric Randall took a deep breath and stood up to explain.

"Perhaps this question should be asked to the businessman."

In the office, Chief Business Officer Howard Lutnick, who was huddled aside and trying to reduce his presence, was suddenly stunned when a scapegoat was thrown at his head.

He stared at Director Eric Randall with an unkind look on his face and said, "Business people have never led the research and development of technology. What does this have to do with us?"

"Of course it does."

Eric Randall said calmly: "Do you remember the deal with Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface Company?"

"If I remember correctly, the predecessor of Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Company in China today is Musk's Neuralink brain-computer interface company."

"This kind of corporate acquisition in the high-tech field that should have been impossible to pass has been passed. Isn't it enough for the businessman to fail in his responsibility?"

"And more importantly, I have noticed that among the patents disclosed by Starlight Virtual Reality Technology Company, many of them belong to the original Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface Company."

"Perhaps it is the patents and technology of Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface Company that promoted the explosion of Starlight Technology's brain-computer interface technology."

Hearing this, Chief T, who was sitting at the head of the table, quickly fixed his gaze on Howard Lutnick, the head of business affairs. The dark circles under his eyes that no matter how thick the foundation could cover showed his fatigue and anger. .

"Is this happening?"

Suddenly being scapegoated, Howard Lutnick felt a big headache.

However, he knew that this was not the time to explain, but to find a way to solve the matter.

The thoughts in his head turned quickly for several times. He took a deep breath and said: "This transaction is not in my hands. It was approved by the previous business chief."

"Perhaps there are some operations that may not be so legal. I suggest that an investigation into the acquisition of Neuralink Brain-Computer Interface Company be launched now."

"If it is confirmed that there is a problem, then we are fully capable of getting back what belongs to us!"
