In the following period of time, what Fangzheng was doing was acquiring companies related to stealth technology. He had a total of three goals.
The first was the electronics company "ARGUS", which developed and manufactured the stealth device "NERvGear". After the outbreak of the death game incident, not only did it cost a lot of money to deal with the large-scale lawsuits and compensation of the victims, but it also caused the board of directors to collectively resign because of this incident. The stock also directly fell. If it weren't for the fact that the death game incident had not been completely resolved, ARGUS's only way out would have been to file for bankruptcy protection.
In this regard, Fangzheng naturally bought all the ARGUS shares that were sold on the stock market and became the company's largest shareholder. Of course, ARGUS was basically struggling at death's door, but for Fangzheng, what he needed was an integrated force. It happened that ARGUS had enough popularity and was very suitable to be used as the foundation for development.
Next was the integrated electronics company "RECT", which sold "NERvGear". When the stealth game device was launched, RECT also spent a lot of money to obtain the exclusive sales rights of "NERvGear". As a result, when the death game incident broke out, all that money was suddenly wasted.
Not only that, but the government also seized all of RECT's inventory, causing it to also be implicated and suffer a large loss. As a comprehensive electronics company, RECT did not completely collapse like ARGUS. However, because their original goal was to build the stealth game into the company's next well-known brand, they invested all of their main resources in it, resulting in a shortage of funds and a lack of cash flow.
More importantly, just some time ago, the head of the operations department of RECT, Nobuyuki Xuxiang, died in a car accident. Not only that, but when sorting out his belongings, the police also found out that he used RECT's SAO backup server to imprison players for brain control and manipulation.
Once this matter was exposed, it immediately caused an uproar in public opinion. Originally, the death game was already very provocative to the public. In the end, it was revealed that someone actually tried to use this device to control other people's brains. This also caused RECT's stock to fall all the way to the limit.
Fangzheng deeply sympathized with this, so he mourned for RECT for three seconds, then directly bought all the stocks that the other party sold.
If ARGUS and RECT were unlucky, then SAO's game production company "EagleJump" was shot.
As the production company of the first full stealth game, EagleJump originally intended to use this game to make the company famous and then go global. However, after the death game incident, no one dared to buy their game anymore. Although the entire stealth system was designed by Kayaba Akihiko, and EJ was just a game production company, who told them to create monsters and bosses that actually killed people?
Ordinary people did not understand this problem. In their opinion, this game was made by EJ, so if the monsters in the game killed people, it was equivalent to EJ killing people … Although EJ did not encounter as much trouble as the previous two in terms of legal proceedings, there were still constant protests. From time to time, people would raise signs to protest, causing the whole company to panic. Many employees chose to resign, and even the president himself considered selling the company. So, Fangzheng directly took over EJ.
This was the good thing about capitalism. As long as you had money, there was nothing that couldn't be done.
But some things couldn't be done with money alone.
The foundation of all this was the full stealth technology. However, the full stealth technology was developed by Kayaba Akihiko. With his death, the progress of the technical development department almost came to a halt. Although it was not impossible for Fangzheng to do it himself, Fangzheng, who was always trying to save humanity or the world, did not have the time to develop a full stealth mechanical equipment.
Fortunately, Fangzheng found a very capable candidate.
It was Higashiko Tetsuda, a professor of electrical and electronic engineering at Tokyo Polytechnic University.
"So … you want me to join ARGUS and work together to develop a new generation of AR technology?"
In reality, Higashiko Tetsuda was a stern old man in his fifties. He sat behind the sofa and stared at Fangzheng with a pair of sharp eyes.
"That's right."
Fangzheng nodded.
"Full stealth technology is interesting, and I admit that it can change the fate and future of mankind. In medical, military, and other fields, VR may have incomparable advantages. But in terms of civilian use, I think AR is a better choice. "
Fangzheng naturally had his reasons for saying this. Just look at the group of humans in the Matrix world who tried to digitize their souls and become gods, but in the end, they failed. They could only lie in hibernation chambers and wander around the galaxy. He didn't want the Earth in this world to become like that.
In terms of scientific progress, Fangzheng was quite conservative, especially after seeing the various deformed technology trees caused by the development of technology in many worlds. He was even more cautious about the development of technology. It was true that VR could allow people to travel to other worlds, but from a societal point of view, VR was like a drug. It made people addicted to a virtual world. If this went on for a long time, forget about a country, it was possible that people would no longer be human.
If it weren't for this death game incident, perhaps in a few years, Fangzheng would no longer see humans walking on the streets. Everyone would have a NERvGear, lying in their rooms like walking corpses. Socializing, teaching, everything would be done in the virtual world. No one would care about the real world anymore. The whole city would be like a huge ICU with countless people in a coma …. Just imagining this scene made Fangzheng's hair stand on end!
"After some research, I know that Professor Shigemura is an expert in BMI (non-invasive brain-computer interface), so I hope you can join us and lend us a hand."
After acquiring "ARGUS", "RECT", and "EJ", Fangzheng hired a professional manager to integrate them into a new electronic information technology company, named "CyberConnect."
Corporation ", or" CC Society "for short.
The new CC Society needed a product that could eliminate the shadow of the "death game". It also needed a brand new game.
This was also the reason why Fangzheng was here.
"…. Let me think about it."
Shigemura Tetsuda seemed to be persuaded, but he did not make up his mind immediately. He thought for a moment before giving his answer.
"This is my business card. If you're interested, you can contact me directly."
Fangzheng did not insist. After all, these plans would take some time to implement. But then again, Fangzheng enjoyed working on these projects in this world. Although he now had the power to save the world, Fangzheng still missed his work and life before his rebirth.
He could not find a place to make games in the Overworld, but in this world, Fangzheng could fulfill his dreams.
After all, he was still a game designer!
Before his rebirth, Fangzheng's world had not developed to the point of AR technology. He could only make mobile games, but now …
AR games with paywalls? Just thinking about it makes me excited!
At the thought of being able to reap the joy and pain of the players, Fangzheng couldn't wait.
The two chatted for a while, then stood up and left the reception room. However, just as Professor Shigemura was sending Fangzheng off, a girl suddenly walked over from the other side of the corridor.
"Daddy!"
"Yuna!"
Professor Shigemura's expression immediately became much gentler when he saw the girl in front of him. He took a few steps forward and hurriedly grabbed the hand of the girl named Yuna.
"Why are you here? Your body … "
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm much better now."
Facing Professor Shigemura's question, the girl giggled and made a "strong" gesture.
"Look, Father, I can walk all the way here by myself now. Besides, the doctor told me to exercise more, right? "
"That's true, but you …"
Having said that, Professor Shigemura smacked his head and turned to look at Fangzheng.
"Sorry, Mr. Fangzheng, this is my daughter, Yuna …"
"Yuna …?"
Fangzheng was stunned for a moment when he heard Professor Shigemura's introduction. At that moment, the girl curiously poked her head out from behind Professor Shigemura and looked at Fangzheng. When she saw Fangzheng, her eyes lit up!
"Mr. Fangzheng! You're Mr. Fangzheng, right? "
"Wait, this voice, you're …"
Hearing the girl's surprised cry, Fangzheng frowned and looked at her carefully again.
"Yuna?"
"That's right, it's me! Mr. Fangzheng, I didn't expect to see you in real life. This is great! "
Along with the cheers, Yuna threw herself into Fangzheng's arms and hugged him tightly.
Meanwhile, Professor Shigemura, who was standing behind Yuna, was speechless.
