The first thousand one hundred and eighty-four chapters
"Boss, many people on the Internet are asking why the Binghun Group doesn't build a 'virtual network' in other cities. At the same time, there are also many entertainment reporters surrounding the entrance of the group headquarters. I hope the boss and the group headquarters can give an explanation.
Come!" Xiaobing reported to Li Zhi.
statement?
Li Zhi shook his head with a smile and muttered: "What can we say? Virtual networks cannot be built. If virtual games are in our hands and virtual networks are in our hands, then the whole world is not in our hands."
? The world is so big, what do I want from this world? There are tens of billions of people in this world, and I can’t manage it!"
These words seemed to be spoken to Xiaobing, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Tell the outside reporters that it's not that we don't want to build virtual networks in other cities, but that we don't have the money to build them. If the 'virtual network' level of a certain city reaches the basic level for running "The World", we can open the city where it is located
game rights and sell ‘virtual game warehouses’ to external parties,” Li Zhi said.
It’s not that they don’t want to build, but that they don’t have the money to build. Yes, this is what Li Zhi wants to express to the outside world!
"OK!"
Xiaobing smiled and nodded, no matter what Li Zhi said, she would not object, and she also knew roughly what the boss was thinking.
Sure enough, as soon as the Ice Soul Group's statement came out, the outside world was in an uproar.
"Binghun Group has no money?"
"You're just kidding, the Binghun Group has no money, so who else has money?"
"That's right. If you don't want to do it, just say you don't want to do it. There's no need to jump out and cry about poverty!"
There is almost a chorus of voices on the Internet, all mocking the Ice Soul Group for crying out for poverty. It seems that this is not in line with the previous style of the Ice Soul Group!
Are you crying about poverty?
Just crying about poverty, but what can the outside world do?
There was no press conference, and even ignoring the noisy and sarcastic voices from the outside world, Binghun Group only gave a set of data about the Binghun Group's investment in virtual network construction within Haicheng City.
Eight hundred billion dollars!
Moreover, Haicheng's virtual network was not built mainly by Binghun Group. Haicheng City, Haicheng Mysterious Company, and Haicheng Enterprises all participated in it. The total investment scale reached an astonishing two trillion US dollars. Such a figure
, frightened a group of people.
You know, how much did it cost to build four virtual network backbones, two vertical and two horizontal, across the country? Added together, it’s not necessarily as much money as the investment in one place in Haicheng City, right?
Does it cost so much to complete a city’s ‘virtual network’?
If a super city like Haicheng with a population of tens of millions requires two trillion U.S. dollars to fully run the virtual network required by the 'world', then there are at least ten super cities like Haicheng in the country. In other words,
At least 20 trillion US dollars is needed?
Plus what about those small and medium-sized cities?
Why, only one hundred billion U.S. dollars can be used to completely build the domestic virtual network?
Looking at such a huge number, it feels a little unreal. If it really takes so much money to build a domestic virtual network, then the Ice Soul Group is indeed right. They can't afford it, no matter which company or company it is.
No company can afford it. If you want to do it, it will take all the efforts of the country!
Pouring the power of a country is easy to say, but how difficult it is to do it!
Unless, this virtual network can bring rapid development to the country, but now we are about to enter the 'mythical age'. In the future, there will be as many evolvers as dogs, and it is not impossible to go to heaven and earth. Then this 'virtual network' still has
Is it useful? In other words, can technology still dominate the world?
Everything is unknown!
To do it or not to do it?
I’m afraid this is no longer something ordinary people can say!
"Boss, what Mayor Liu means is to open the port, not restrict Chinese people from entering Haicheng City, and not restrict the testing of the virtual online game 'world'. The order seems to come from a superior leader!" Xiao Bing said to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi frowned slightly, but soon calmed down again, nodded and said: "No problem, let's activate it!"
As long as the management department is not afraid of trouble, it will only bring benefits to him, but no harm.
Three days and seventy-two hours later, a thousand 'virtual game bars' and 100,000 virtual game warehouses were all in place within Haicheng City.
The Binghun Group has also opened the port. It no longer restricts only Haicheng City citizens to participate in the public beta of the virtual online game "World". Anyone in Haicheng City can go to the "Virtual Game Bar" to queue up for the public beta.
The time is still two hours per person per day, and there are only so many virtual game warehouses. The base number of the 'virtual game bar' is here. Even if it is allocated 24 hours a day, there will be at most one in twenty hours.
1.2 million people experience the charm of the virtual game 'world', which is far less than the number needed.
There are also some people who start queuing up after doing nothing for a day, just so that they can catch up with the experience the next day.
Even so, you may not be able to get in line, because there are too many people in line, and even hiring someone may not be effective!
The population of Haicheng City itself has exceeded 10 million. Coupled with the influx of people from the outside world into Haicheng City, the total number of people queuing up in the 'Virtual Game Bar' exceeds five million every day.
It’s not that there are too many, it’s that only the first five million people are recorded, and those after five million are destined to not be able to get in the queue and will have to queue up again the next day.
After Ge Xiaojin saw the opportunity, he directly discussed it with Li Zhi and created a small program called "Virtual Bar" on the "Ice Soul Golden Shield". He didn't need to go to the "Virtual Game Bar" to make reservations directly on his mobile phone.
Queuing up, but starting from early in the morning, you have to grab a 'number'.
There is no need to go to the virtual game bar to wait. Whoever wants to experience it will be reminded two hours in advance. As long as they are within the limits of Haicheng City, they can basically make it in time.
Anyone who has experienced the virtual online game "World" feels incredible, and they also understand the specific difference between the current network and the virtual network!
A place that is not real, but resembles reality.
It's not just a game, it's like another time and space, another world!
"Boss, many foreign companies hope to introduce the virtual game "World", how to deal with it?" Xiaobing asked Li Zhi.
Li Zhi smiled nonchalantly and said: "Yes, as long as the virtual network meets the requirements, you can apply for "World" port access anywhere." After a slight pause, he added a little: "Of course, those who are prohibited from selling ice cream
We do not welcome countries that sell Soul Group products!”
"...Okay!" Xiaobing knew that the boss was very vindictive.
In any case, virtual online games are indeed popular, but many people have only heard about them and heard others say how fun they are. Only those who have actually played them.
If you want to experience it, you can only come to Haicheng City and wait in line.
No matter what, as long as the outsiders are not foreigners, they still have the opportunity to experience it in Haicheng City, but those foreigners who want to experience it have no place to experience it and can only wait.
Can virtual online games create wealth?
Of course, there’s nothing to say about this. Which game company in the world doesn’t make money? It’s just a matter of how much money it wants to make.
The Ice Soul Group has not yet opened the recharge channel between "The World" and the real world. Everything in the game requires players to struggle by themselves.
Just because it's not open now doesn't mean it won't be open in the future.
If virtual networks are laid out all over the world, it is not impossible for "The World" to become the "second world" of mankind.
In addition to wealth, it also contains opportunities, but too few people can get the 'opportunities' now.
In front of Li Zhi, there are two options. First, expand the virtual network in other cities. Second, increase the number of virtual game warehouses and virtual game bars. He will not consider the former, and I am afraid that the only thing he can do is the latter.
or.
One hundred thousand units is far from satisfying the size of the market. Even one million or three million units may not be able to fill the entire market.
But now, the price of producing a virtual game warehouse is not cheap. It does not mean that you can produce it if you want. How much does it cost to produce one million virtual game warehouses?
