Apple and Facebook, two world-class technology companies, were facing a precarious situation.
How could Microsoft and Amazon remain unscathed?
Microsoft was a pioneering company in personal computers and computer software development. Microsoft used to rule the world's personal computer software business.
However, after a decade, with the popularization of smartphones and tablet computers based on mobile operating systems, Microsoft's business had to face an awkward situation of gradual decline.
Of course, no matter how bad it was, Microsoft was now a giant ranked seventh among the top 500 companies in the world.
Now, what about the future …
The Microsoft CEO's mood was not much better than the others.
The reason was simple. The virtual network was the future of the next generation of the Internet. By then, everyone would become users in the virtual world. Who would use traditional personal computers?
Seeing the Microsoft CEO's worried look, Apple CEO Tim patted him on the shoulder and comforted him. "Don't be so pessimistic. At least the holographic glasses and the virtual world are only listed in Hua Xia. As far as I know, most of Microsoft's market share in Hua Xia has been squeezed out of profits by cracked piracy. "
"Before the virtual world expands, you are still safe. Unlike Apple, Hua Xia's business has plummeted by more than 70% this year."
"Why wait for the virtual world to expand?" The Microsoft CEO squatted under a tree and stared into the distance. "The holographic glasses are enough to destroy our business."
"Everyone should have experienced the six expansion functions in the holographic glasses."
"Among them, the virtual office function directly caused Microsoft's office business to plummet in Hua Xia."
The other CEOs recalled the expansion functions in the virtual glasses and suddenly became silent.
It would have been better if this historical virtual conference was not held. Once it was held, everyone realized that everyone present could not escape.
The virtual world was only available in Hua Xia for the time being.
However, everyone understood that it was only a matter of time before the virtual world and the holographic glasses entered the European and American markets.
The development of technology was inertial. It would not change because of one's will.
This principle could also be applied to the products of Monster Industries.
When their products were so good that they could overturn any similar products in the past, even if Monster Industries did not sell them overseas, even if the European and American countries did not include this product in the list of imported goods.
There would still be countless European and American users who wanted this product. They would do everything possible to get it and own it.
"Buying on behalf of others" was not a term exclusive to Hua Xia.
In today's society, shipping and air transportation were unprecedentedly developed. As long as there was enough profit, it would quickly give birth to a large number of professional purchasing companies. Like a virus, it slowly spread to the entire European and American market.
Since the sixties, they have banned all commerce and trade with Cuba, including, of course, their favorite cigars.
What if they were banned?
There were too many ways, so many that buying a Cuban cigar was not as difficult as eating a Chinese meal.
This was the case for banned products, not to mention the holographic glasses that were not banned.
At the very least, Apple's president, Tim, knew that American tourists who went to Hua Xia now only needed to bring back two holographic glasses and they would be able to reimburse the cost of their flight tickets. Furthermore, it was a business class ticket. Some international logistics merchants with shipping channels were actively stocking up on holographic glasses.
It was only a matter of time now. Once Hua Xia's holographic glasses supply reached a balance with Hua Xia's consumers, those international logistics merchants would be able to get a large number of holographic glasses and sell them overseas.
Besides, Monster Industries would not sit idly by and watch the overseas market go blank. The optional English operation interface of the holographic glasses and the English NPCs in the virtual world were the best proof.
If they did not have this idea, why would they optimize the English version?
…
The meeting of several presidents lasted for nearly two hours.
After the meeting, they quickly gathered the engineers who entered the virtual world and held an internal analysis meeting.
These engineers were quite reluctant.
Because this was a group of otakus who were at the top of the human race in terms of knowledge, theory, and hands-on ability. In the short seven hours in the virtual world, they had already laid down an initial development capital with their own hands that ordinary users could not catch up to.
"I have already connected with an elder of our Orc tribe. I heard many ancient legends from him. Legend has it that in an unknown place in the wilderness, there is a secret to becoming a Orc hero. "
"This should be the path to becoming a Super Professional."
"I chose the Elves. It is said that there is a 'Fountain of Youth' in the Royal City. I plan to save enough capital to go to the Royal City and find a way to bypass the loopholes in the guards to get a bottle of Fountain of Youth water."
"You are all too complicated. I am a human. I already have an old-fashioned speedboat and a set of entry-level fishing equipment. I also established a cooperative relationship with a star hotel. They are willing to buy the tuna I am about to catch at a price 20% higher than the market price. With more money, I can recruit players who are still struggling to pick up garbage in the city and build a medium-sized fishing boat. "
"What meeting? Time is life now. I have already become a tribal hunter and am about to hunt lions with the hunting team. What if the meeting delays my hunting?"
"I think it is better to resign and go to the virtual world to fight. I have a hunch that it will become a brand new world economy. "
"Shh ~ The boss is here, prepare the report."
The next day.
The presidents of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and other companies all went to the airport with serious expressions and boarded the commercial plane with their entourage to fly to Washington.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, they gathered in a conference room in Congress.
They were not the only ones sitting in this medium-sized conference room that could accommodate more than 50 people. There was also a slightly haggard presidential assistant, Miss Wez, in a black slim suit.
There were also several officers from the Pentagon in military uniforms.
There was also a group of civilian technicians from the Internet Department.
It could be said that this conference room gathered the top talents in the US military electronic network and commercial network.
These people were, of course, all for the virtual world.
Since the launch of holographic glasses, the US electronic technology industry and the Pentagon have been paying close attention to this product. Needless to say, the commercial aspect was needless to say. In the military aspect, the Pentagon analyzed and believed that holographic glasses were also of great significance.
The significance lay in training and simulation.
If the holographic glasses were of great significance before, now that the virtual world came out, the significance rose to a strategic level.
Imagine, when the soldiers wore a full set of primordial spirit suits, coupled with a full-posture simulator.
Then they could simulate any war mode in the real world in the virtual world. There was no need for military equipment, and there was no mechanization and ammunition consumption of the Gold-Swallowing Behemoth.
So they sat here today for the future of the next generation of Internet and the future of the next generation of military training.
