Chapter 227： [Developing AI is a long-term project]

, The latest chapter in the latest global monopoly of technology!

Luo Sheng looked at Wang Qiwei who was standing in front of him, and said, "Go ahead with a slash, anyone who has recorded a history of wandering on the edge of the gray will get rid of it. To reverse the industry's atmosphere, we must first turn the source of this crooked wind. Do n’t be intimidated, what's the matter? The group company is responsible for the WRPO business unit. "

Wang Qiwei nodded again and again to promise, there is no doubt that Luo Sheng ’s words are a powerful booster. The original NeoTV that hosted the domestic competition WCG is the most powerful. When playing in different competitions, it ’s nervous. Other places are fine. , Especially in the capital division.

You do n’t dare to mess with some players or teams. In a place like the capital, the ghosts know if they are wealthy children or their background can not be reached. In the event of kicking the iron plate, the game will not run, so in these divisions The qualifiers were all forfeited.

Backed by Bluestar Technology Group, there are state-owned assets behind this big group, such as Huajin Securities, and a large number of foreign capital like Thunderbird. The name of Bluestar Technology is the biggest background of the WRPO business unit.

Obviously, this gives Wang Qiwei great confidence in his work. As long as he works according to the process, the waistband is also stiff. No matter which rich second-generation you are, you must follow WRPO's specifications.

Luo Sheng didn't ask too much, then he learned about the investment situation of the WRPO division.

Wang Qiwei said: "At present, the WRPO division's research and establishment of profit methods mainly include ticket sales, catering, event surroundings and sponsors."

After hearing the words, Luo Sheng nodded, and said immediately: "Don't rush to make money, this small profit can't support a beautiful performance report. At present, the main thing is to cultivate the market to expand the market. The shortfall here lies in the company. It's nothing in the eyes, it's not as good as the company's website to pay the operator. "

After hearing this, Wang Qiwei couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart. There was nothing wrong with this, and he didn't enter Bluestar Technology shortly, but he also knew that the company liked to do “long-term” business and like to invest in early harvest.

"Mr. Luo, WRPO has done a good job in attracting investors recently, and has drawn a lot of sponsors." Wang Qiwei immediately took out a document and handed it to him, and then added: "The Samsung Group provided a batch of monitors and a $ 5 million sponsorship. It is believed that the sponsorship fee for the first event next year can be used for higher prices in the second edition. In addition, Cherry keyboard company from Germany, the sponsorship fee is up to 6.3 million US dollars, a year of sponsorship. "

Wang Qiwei's words are a little bit proud, and if you do something, you have to say something. This is the dazzling performance that the WRPO business department can achieve at present.

"A keyboard maker can pay so much sponsorship? A keyboard maker can be so generous? I understand Cherry company a little, shouldn't this company's profit be high?" Luo Sheng said with a surprise.

Of course, in his eyes, this amount of money is almost no different from more than six hundred yuan, but it is also more than six million dollars, which is a bit exaggerated as a sponsorship fee.

And it's just a keyboard maker.

"Yes, in fact, not only is Cherry's performance very bad, but it's not as good as one year ..." Wang Qiwei saw Luo Sheng's curious look, and immediately remembered the business he talked to the German, and the sponsorship was his I personally talked about it and immediately introduced his record to the big boss.

In fact, Wang Qiwei was able to talk to the Germans about this expensive sponsorship cooperation thanks to the word "e-sports" and the bad situation of Cherry itself.

At present, mechanical keyboards are not sought after in the market, because the thin-film keyboards with simple structure, good water resistance and low price have captured almost the entire market share, especially in the most demanding thin and light notebook computers. From the 1990s to the Now, membrane keyboards have firmly dominated people's computer desktops.

Such a market environment forced famous manufacturers like ALPS and NEC to abandon mechanical keyboards. Only Cherry, which invented the MX axis, retained the mechanical keyboard business.

But also dying.

With strong business capabilities, Wang Qiwei just talked to the Germans and explicitly told Cherry that only WRPO could save their mechanical keyboard business, because WRPO had their goddess of luck, e-sports.

Luo Sheng, who has the memory of the last life, knows that the mechanical keyboard business can fight back and surpass the market. It depends on the vigorous development of the e-sports industry, but it did not surprise him that Wang Qiwei actually had such a vision, which made him quite For accident.

The world is really full of talented people, depending on whether you can meet Bole.

Wang Qiwei eloquently said, "I don't know if you have a third perspective operation of Star Professional players. For these professional sports players with fast movements and extremely fast surgery, they ca n’t possibly need a membrane keyboard anyway. Moreover, membrane keyboards are not durable and can only be used several million times, while the shaft of mechanical keyboards can reach more than 50 million operations. "

Luo Sheng nodded and smiled: "It makes sense that e-sports players, especially star players, have an efficient ability to carry goods, and the temptation for gaming otaku is no less than women's obsession with lipstick."

"Mr. Luo really looks at the fire, it's in the phrase." Wang Qiwei seized the opportunity to decisively incarnate "Wang Liwei" before licking a wave, and then said naturally after slipping his horse and then saying: "My idea is to follow Cherry cooperates to package mechanical keyboards from purely electronic devices into a youth subculture. "

Speaking of this, Wang Qiwei couldn't help but add a smile: "After all, the majority of e-sports players are rookies, but they all have the heart of becoming a master. In addition to an expensive mechanical keyboard, it must have a good feel, the most important thing is that it can make A rookie player also inexplicably has the illusion of becoming a master of e-sports is the most important. "

Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words and said, "Why is it possible? It is quite an idea plan and has a lot of imagination. But the key lies in e-sports players. Those with strong ability to carry goods are e-sports players, especially star players. If I ’m the owner of Cherry, so I wo n’t find you WRPO, but directly sponsor star players, the cost-effectiveness will be higher. ”

Wang Qiwei immediately said: "You always rest assured, the alliance WRPO, players and clubs registered under this system have a common agreement. Part of the commercial value development is discussed by the WRPO business department. Finally, between WRPO and clubs and players. Divided. "

In fact, if you expand your eyes from a single player to a club or even the entire WRPO system, its income is definitely not limited to the advertising or endorsement level.

Just like most traditional sports professional leagues, there are many ways for a team or club to make money, including broadcasts, tickets, advertising, media cooperation under the full WRPO system, and multiple incomes such as clothing, drinks and sponsorship. .

Although the share is small, he has a lot of profit. Isn't he fragrant when he calculates the general ledger?

Creating such an ecosystem is by no means an overnight effort, and the initial investment is definitely large. The continuous deficit is undoubted, and the specific effect depends on the quality of the first session and whether it can be recognized by the sponsor.

To put it plainly, it is to see how the market influence of the new brand WRPO.

The domestic market is now the smallest, such as broadcasting, but like South Korea, the broadcasting fee is definitely there. South Korea's e-sports industry is in the forefront of the world. Like the famous Korean star player "Boxer", the SKT1 club was born. One of the founders, its influence in South Korea is higher than the local film and television superstars.

All this shows the commercial potential of esports, and the influence of esports players is no less than that of front-line superstars or national athletes.

At least this is the place in Korea ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Luo Sheng's experience will not doubt, he knows better than anyone in this world how the e-sports industry will flourish and influence in the next ten years. How broad, especially thirty years later.

Luo Sheng did not stay in the WRPO business department for too long. He got a general understanding of the situation and left after ordering some things.

As the founder of the Blue Star Technology Group and the Cote d'Azur Corporation, in charge of these two companies, Luo Sheng will not have a long time even if he is relaxed.

No, as the data center of Sioux City is completed and put into use, the development of artificial intelligence also has a preliminary foundation that can be put on the agenda.

Luo Sheng had wanted to develop artificial intelligence long ago, but because of the current environment, the hardware foundation could not be developed. Big data centers are one of the infrastructures for developing artificial intelligence.

The development of artificial intelligence is a big project, and the current hardware infrastructure is still insufficient, and it has to be continuously upgraded.

But at least the frame can be put together
