Chapter 851：

Technology complex building.

This afternoon, a vehicle with a white license plate visited Luo Sheng’s private residence. The white license plate displayed the beginning of "Military D", indicating that the car came from the General Armament Department of the military.

The vehicle drove into the science and technology complex, and the person who got out of the car was Yang Hongyi. Luo Sheng was responsible for coordinating the contact between Luo Sheng and the military. Now the military rank on his shoulders has changed from the major when Luo Sheng first met with him. Became the senior colonel level today.

In peaceful times, the speed of promotion is only fast or slow.

In the large living room, Luo Sheng personally entertained Yang Hongyi. The latter did not bluff, but after a few greetings, he went straight to the topic: "Mr. Luo, this time I am here to buy you 500,000 sets of virtual brains on behalf of the military. Orders."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but laughed: "Why do you need Brother Yang to come here in person for this kind of thing? You can do it with a phone call. No problem. The military's order must be the first priority. It’s not small but not very big. It’s perfectly fine to send it in a week or a month at the latest."

The virtual brain machine is not just as simple as a game console, it has great potential in military applications.

Obviously, the military purchases a batch of virtual brain-computer equipment for soldiers to simulate a special battlefield for exercise purposes. Because the real situation is almost 100%, the battlefield simulation exercises can be performed in a real environment. Many exercise subjects cannot be done in a real environment. Can do it.

Some are really unable to be carried out in real exercises. The reason is very simple. It will really kill people.

If nothing else, how do you play a nuclear war?

The real environment is simply impossible, it can only be deduced by imagination and sand table.

Since entering the new century, all mankind has not experienced a real nuclear war. Pushing forward has suffered two small books. Frankly speaking, no one has experience.

However, unscrupulous drills can be carried out in the virtual world, because there is no need to worry about casualties. The casualties in the virtual world are fake, but they can provide the most realistic exercises.

By simulating nuclear war or other forms of war in the virtual world, you will definitely be able to gain valuable experience that is not available in real-life exercises.

Yang Hongyi smiled and said: "I came here today to visit you to dig your corner, and I asked you to recommend a group of talents to work in the military."

Luo Sheng also happily said: "This is the first time I have encountered such a digging. Who are the military's talents that have fallen in love with me?"

Yang Hongyi smiled and said: "Just kidding, the military can't afford such a high salary. If it is low, they may not be willing to come. Ten times the salary is not cost-effective. Just borrow a period of time to help the military develop some required mirrored battlefield environment simulations. "

Hearing this, Luo Sheng nodded: "The game department has to find a development engineer. The problem is not big. I will arrange it today. I will borrow 200 outstanding developers for the military and give me three days to arrange. ."

Yang Hongyi immediately got up and said, "Well, after three days, I will send someone to pick them up. This visit is for these few things, so I won't stay too much."

When he was about to leave, Yang Hongyi turned around and said: "By the way, there is one more thing, Mr. Luo, the virtual brain computer is a military-product, and special reports must be made for export."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "No problem, but I am not optimistic that overseas military organizations will come to our company to place orders."

Yang Hongyi: "Oh? What's the answer to this?"

Luo Sheng simply analyzed: "The product itself is not cheap. Foreign customers cannot afford what they want, and those who can afford it dare not use it. Do you think Europeans and Americans dare to buy it back for military simulation exercises?"

Using virtual brains to conduct simulated exercises and training, Europeans and Americans are absolutely 100% convinced that military secrets will be leaked out. The two reasons for extreme distrust and military security are blocked.

Yang Hongyi nodded and said, "It makes sense, but if there is a foreign military procurement, the process that should be followed has to go through again."

Luo Sheng said: "Of course."

Finally, after a few more conversations, Yang Hongyi didn't stay too much. After the main purpose of the trip was achieved, he left, and stayed at Luo Sheng's house for less than 20 minutes.

...

Soon after Yang Hongyi left, Luo Sheng went to work in his private office, and soon An Qingxue walked in.

"The sales data of virtual brain machines are out. The first day shipments were 400,000 units, with a turnover of 7.5 billion yuan, and sales far exceeded the expected 330,000 units."

Each unit is priced at 50,000 yuan, 400,000 units sold at 20 billion yuan, and the turnover is only 7.5 billion. Obviously, most customers do not buy it in full, but buy it by installment and loan. This 400,000 Taiwan’s sales have added more than 10 billion accounts receivable to the Côte d’Azur.

An Qingxue continued to report: "As of this morning's statistics, the number of virtual Internet users has officially exceeded 5 million, and the number is still soaring. The main source of growth is the huge contribution of virtual Internet cafes."

So far, Côte d’Azur has sold 400,000 devices directly, and the cooperative shipment with Xingyu is 1.5 million devices, which adds up to less than 2 million. Normally, the number of virtual Internet users should not exceed 2 million.

However, it is precisely because of the 1.5 million devices of Xingyu’s chain of Internet cafes that it has created a user scale of more than 5 million today. A machine will receive different customers every day. Of course, the number of users entering the virtual world is more than the number of devices. Much more.

"Yes, if this trend continues, the number of virtual Internet users is expected to exceed 100 million this year. You have to accelerate the advancement of Internet cafes. When you come back to the company to say hello to Lao Yao, continue to expand the scale of production to supply the market." Luo Sheng said, and took the report from An Qingxue.

An Qingxue said: "The morning executive meeting also focused on Xingyu's business. The management also took a fancy to the promotion of virtual Internet cafes or Internet cafes to virtual Internet users. It is obvious that they want to give Xingyu this year. The configuration of the company’s more than 500,000 machines."

Rather than the hardware sales of virtual brains, the most important thing for the Côte d'Azur is the growth rate of virtual Internet users. Simply put, it is imperative that the number of virtual Internet users exceed 100 million as soon as possible.

Reaching this order of magnitude, the entire virtual Internet ecosystem can initially realize the self-hematopoietic cycle, without the need for continuous blood transfusions on the Côte d'Azur to maintain the early embryonic stage.

The key is to quickly form the Matthew effect to achieve the goal of being strong.

While watching the materials, Luo Sheng calmly vetoed: "Don’t ignore some potential problems for the sake of brutal and extensive growth. Xingyu’s current plate is already big enough, and you will get overwhelmed. When the time comes, you will bargain with me One more trouble? Capital is not a kind person, it will only constantly seek higher profits."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng paused and turned a page of materials while browsing, and added, "...Even if an additional 500,000 sets of equipment can be released, they will be allocated to others to support some self-employed businesses and other chain brands. Xingyu has configured so much for them this year."

Luo Sheng's words are well-defined.

An Qingxue: "Well, tomorrow I will bring your meaning to Mr. Yao As soon as the virtual brain machine comes out, the Internet cafe industry has suddenly changed from a sunset industry to a new sunrise industry. Blue Ocean, I don't know how many people want to come in and get a piece of the pie, all begging to get the goods here on the blue coast but can't get it.

Forcing some bosses or investors to go directly to offline stores on the Côte d’Azur to wipe out retail goods. An expensive device of 50,000 yuan a day can sell 400,000 units a day, which is quite an exaggeration, equivalent to two or three million units sold. Azure smartphone.

Ordinary consumer users will definitely not be able to contribute this large amount of shipments. It is obvious that there must be another party who is buying on a large scale, that is, those who want to open Internet cafes.

Even idiots now know that it is very profitable to run a virtual internet cafe, just like the internet cafe industry 15 to 20 years ago. Just open one and only one family. It is no exaggeration to say that you can earn money by lying down. .

It's just that the threshold for opening virtual Internet cafes is much higher than that of traditional Internet cafes. First of all, the threshold for funding has been increased by more than ten times. Traditional Internet cafes can open tens of millions.

However, it is very difficult for a virtual Internet cafe to become famous without a start-up capital of tens of millions. No matter how bad it is, it will take another 5 million to play. Although a shop with 20 or 30 machines can be opened with more than 1 million, it is recovered. The cost takes a long time, and the time cost is a loss.

It is reasonable for a store to exceed 100 units. Although the threshold is high, it is now a sweet pastry in the eyes of capital, and it is very popular. What is lacking is definitely not the problem of money, but the problem of the supply of goods.

At present, only the Côte d’Azur can provide virtual brains in the world, and all of them have to watch the Côte d’Azur to enjoy food and eat. Everyone knows that businesses that can make a lot of money are lined up. Only those with strong capital are qualified to eat.

It was inevitably bubbled up.
