In the Belvedere area of Somalia, after a military operation lasting half a month, NATO successfully captured the area controlled by the Belvedere warlords. At the same time, the United Nations, under pressure from all sides, finally issued a controversial document.
It defined zombies as people who died unnaturally and allowed the military of various countries to hunt and kill zombies.
Interestingly, when this topic was being discussed, many countries stubbornly voted against it, and their reasons were also very strange. For example, the reason for France's vote against it was that there was no death penalty in their country, so they would not vote in favor of the death penalty resolution. India was even weirder. The reason for voting against was that they thought the living dead were the servants of Shiva …
However, in any case, even if it was controversial, this document that should have been passed a long time ago was finally passed with the efforts of all parties.
For the infected area on the border between Somalia and Ethiopia, NATO sent two tank companies to clear the zombies in the infected area with the help of drones. At the same time, on the other side of the world in Yoto, Japan, the Self-Defense Forces and the UA military stationed in Nippon also began to enter the blockaded Shinagawa district to clean up the zombies entrenched there.
The vaccine launched by eleven pharmaceutical companies around the world in cooperation with Future Biology had been fully launched on the market. It was expected that in the next four months, it would be enough to be popularized in major countries around the world. Based on the patent fee of 1.5 US Dollar per vaccine, it was expected that Future Biology would earn 5.7 billion US Dollar in the next four months.
This was almost equivalent to the net profit of Future Biology for four years.
However, as a price, releasing the technology licensing meant that Future Biology's profit potential in the T virus vaccine was overdrawn. After all, other pharmaceutical companies had an advantage in terms of production scale. Even if the cost was 1.5 USD higher in patent fees, the cost could be recovered from other sources.
In the past few days in Yoto, Jiang Chen directed the professional managers he poached from headhunting companies to form a professional real estate management team responsible for managing the 11 billion US Dollar property he acquired in Yoto, responsible for the maintenance of buildings and the rental of shops.
At Yoto International Airport, Qian Xia reluctantly sent Jiang Chen to the plane.
On the day before leaving Yoto, Jiang Chen finally extended his claws to her, who was wearing a maid outfit. In the beginning, she resisted, but it didn't take long before she obediently laid on top of Jiang Chen's body and began to mutter incoherently.
Perhaps it was because of the unforgettable pain from the broken melon, or perhaps it was for some other reason, but after that night, Jiang Chen always felt that there was a different brilliance in her eyes when she looked at him.
"Will Master come here again?" Qian Xia lowered her head and whispered.
"Occasionally."
"Then … when I graduate, can I go to Xin to find you?"
"Of course."
He rubbed her head and didn't say too many farewell words. He turned around and boarded the Gulfstream G 650 private jet at the airport.
Under the girl's gaze, the plane disappeared into the distant horizon.
…
Not long after Jiang Chen returned to Xin, Future Technology, Amazon, eBay, Taobao, Jingdong and other e-commerce companies published an announcement on their official websites.
[Attack of Black Technology! VRstore is online, you can go shopping without leaving your house!]
At the same time, the Phantom also ushered in the second system update. After the update, there was an additional application management program in the menu interface. Just like Apple's appstoe and Android's Android Market, the Phantom Helmet would also be open to users to download.
However, for now, although Future Group announced VR program development tools and provided server rental services to the outside world, no company had produced any decent software that could reflect the advantages of the VR platform. They were all researching how to port their existing applications to the VR platform.
So for now, in this application management program, in addition to the web browser, there were only two applications.
One was Godly Land, and the other was the newly launched virtual reality online shopping platform – VRstore.
The newly launched VRstore currently had two modes.
One was a simplified mode that combined flat and VR images. Users could search for more items. Just like usual online shopping, they could search for the goods they wanted in the shortest time. The only difference was that the searched items could be held directly in their hands, and the searched clothes could be worn directly.
The other mode was the virtual mall mode. After entering this mode, users would appear in a virtual street designed by Future Technology with reference to famous commercial streets such as Times Square. The goods and decorations in the store would be randomly processed according to a certain algorithm, so that users could experience the fun of random encounters with goods with their friends.
According to the news announced by Future Technology, a total of seven e-commerce companies in the world had joined the VRstore. On the first day of the VRstore's launch, seven boutique stores from e-commerce companies gathered, with a total of 800,000 items. It was a powerful lineup.
So many users experienced the joy of VR shopping on the first day of the VRstore's launch. While sales continued to rise, this powerful VRstore also received unanimous praise from users.
"I've received the new dress. It's amazing. It's exactly the same as the one I saw in the VRstore!"
"I used to be reluctant to buy expensive clothes online. Not to mention the fact that they didn't fit, they didn't look the same as a model at all. Now, I can try them on in a VR environment, find clothes that really fit me, and then pay. "
"That's crazy, how did Future Technology do it!"
"Unfortunately, there's no tasting function. If only the food could restore the original taste, then I could eat my fill in the virtual mall … if I could eat my fill in the virtual world? "
"Oh my God, my wallet! How did I spend so much money! Woo … "
Because of technical reasons, only Future Technology could produce VR images of goods. Therefore, the images of 600,000 goods were randomly sampled by Future Technology and then sent to the headquarters of Future Technology in Xin. They were scanned with special equipment and processed into high-fidelity VR images.
As for the VR image production fees, Jiang Chen didn't scam them and charged a fee of 1,000 US Dollar per item. He also charged 10 US Dollar monthly data management fees for the goods logged into the VR mall.
Compared to the revenue these stores could obtain from the VRstore, this investment was definitely worth it.
The Phantom Helmet had nearly one billion active users around the world, and the VRstore, as one of the only two applications, naturally had a strong exposure. With such a huge amount of traffic, not to mention the 1,000 US Dollar scanning fee and 10 US Dollar management fee, even if the price doubled, there would still be stores willing to move in.
In addition, advertising and other costs were extra, and the price was not cheap. If the store was on the recommendation spot on the front page of the VRstore, the store's revenue on that day would also be shared with Future Technology. But even if the price was high, there was still an endless stream of people applying for recommendation spots.
And these fees, together with data management fees, would be the two main profit channels of the VRstore.
Some commentators analyzed that the launch of the VRstore might bring about a new round of physical store sales winter.
For example, the British Observer Daily analyzed this issue in depth.
"We optimistically thought that online shopping would never replace physical stores, and at most it would affect the spending habits of some people. Physical stores have advantages that online shopping cannot replace, such as the ability to intuitively touch the goods you want to buy, and the fun of shopping itself. These are things that online shopping cannot provide. "
"But now, the VRstore seems to have done everything that online shopping could not do. Perhaps this will be the beginning of a complete rewrite of the world's retail industry. "
