Rewrite the Technological Landscape

The end of the conference on the second day sparked heated discussions around the world about virtual reality, especially for start-up companies, an outlet was placed in front of them. There are many issues that entrepreneurs need to think about carefully.

As for the media, they suddenly found a good point of public opinion. The virtual reality project led by Dafeng Group this time has almost no participation from American companies.

The provocative media quickly conducted targeted public opinion guidance on this issue after the meeting, which meant that the Dafeng Group deliberately isolated American companies.

However, Fang Chen quickly put the facts in front of the world. Dafeng Group invited American companies, whether it was Microsoft, Google or Twitter, Dafeng Group invited them all, but they refused to come.

The media immediately turned around and asked the American companies. What can the American companies say? The Dafeng Group did invite them, and they did refuse.

Then the public opinion became that American technology is derailing from the times.

The media will never disappoint in the matter of taking the rhythm, being slapped in the face, and continuing to take the rhythm.

At this time, American companies really had mixed feelings in their hearts. The reason they rejected Meng Qian at that time was simple, why should you take the lead, but what they didn't expect was that without American companies, Meng Qian could still stir up the industry.

"In just one day, the search volume of VR has increased by 12 times." Google's Page told everyone this data at an impromptu gathering here in Silicon Valley, "The effect of Dafeng Group's press conference is more crazy than imagined. .”

"Who would have thought that Dafeng Group would spend so much money?" Microsoft's Nadella had a solemn expression, with an unspeakable displeasure, "Over 100 billion soft sister coins in five years, nearly 20 billion yuan of investment, the key is from Judging from the on-site platform introduction, this is completely an investment without consideration of returns. Once history proves that it is wrong to develop VR at this time, then these investments will not have any benefits, and may even cause sequelae of wrong investment.

So even if Dafeng Group did such a crazy thing today, do you think we should be crazy together? "

Nadella didn’t talk nonsense, and directly pointed out the key point of today’s meeting. Dafeng Group has already done this, money has been spent, products have come out, and concepts have been hyped up. The development of virtual reality has been handed over to Dafeng Group.

If everyone followed, they would have to spend the same amount of money to gamble with Meng Qian.

For this amount of money, if technology companies in the United States can cooperate and everyone invests together, this amount is not too big, at least it is definitely affordable, but let’s say less, for an industry that is completely in its infancy, this investment is quite a lot After all, all companies have their own main business that needs investment, and the current net profit of many companies is not enough for the next year's R\u0026D investment budget every year.

"The investment in the semiconductor and software industry is increasing. On the semiconductor side, with the progress of technology, the investment has doubled, and the development of artificial intelligence and cloud computing has occupied a large amount of funds of software companies." Twitter CEO Coase Troo put the reality in front of everyone, "Even if we want to follow suit, how many shareholders are willing?"

"But whether it's artificial intelligence, cloud computing or smartphones, we are one step behind the Dafeng Group, and because we hesitated a little longer than the Dafeng Group, we have created the current situation." Page obviously wanted to follow , "If we hesitate in virtual reality, the result can be imagined."

"Is it possible for us to destroy Meng Qian's alliance first." Costello put forward an idea that is not a solution.

"I don't think it's possible." Nadella shook his head and denied, "This is actually another question I want to talk about. This time Meng Qian was able to find so many companies to bet with him. The media said it was the appeal of Dafeng Group. But behind this, we should see that this is the result of Meng Qian's promotion of win-win cooperation over the years.

Enterprises are profit-seeking after all, and trust is very important, but trust must also be profitable. They are willing to gamble with Meng Qian. I believe it is more because of Meng Qian's win-win cooperation idea, they The future can be very generously rewarded.

It is this reward that drives them to make such an action, so it is not easy to destroy such an alliance.

Dafeng Group has now exerted pressure on us from two directions of hard power and soft power. "

"Then we have to hurry up." Page expressed his thoughts as soon as he got the opportunity, "Nadella mentioned the issue of soft power, and I would like to add another question.

Everyone, don’t ignore the technology development cycle. It takes time to create content. The fact that Dafeng Group and its cooperative companies can produce so much content today shows that they have already started preparing for this matter. From this perspective, In fact he's probably at least a year or two ahead of us.

I just said that we take a step back, which is considered a very optimistic view. "

What Page said is also a very realistic situation. It is not a temporary idea for a large enterprise to focus on the development of an industry, but it has been prepared for a few years. The reason why the start of virtual reality is so enthusiastic is because the layout started a few years ago, even American companies are now lagging behind.

In other words, if the United States wants to follow, it has to invest more, but this makes them even more entangled.

Is it necessary to invest 30 to 40 billion a year in such a field that really has no clear direction and no profit point?

For example, Intel currently invests more than 10 billion yuan in R\u0026D a year, but its annual net profit is not 10 billion yuan. It is also supported by financing and loans. You still want him to spend another 10 billion or 2 billion yuan. Mi Yuan to engage in virtual reality?

Difficult.

This is like a Chinese technology company in the past. Watching American companies researching new technologies and want to follow, but they have no money to follow. After finally collecting money, they have developed to maturity, and it is too late to follow. In the end, they can only watch. It's just that American companies never imagined that this situation would fall on them so quickly.

This entanglement and helplessness also made them feel.

When American companies are in a state of hesitation, Meng Qian's side is bustling with activity.

After the end of the second day of the conference, Meng Qian took Kazuo Hirai and other representatives of VR partners to dinner. During the dinner, Kazuo Hirai, who was sitting next to Meng Qian, asked in a low voice, "Mr. Meng, what do you think the American companies will do?" What kind of reaction?"

"I'm really not sure now, but it's definitely impossible for them to completely give us this market, and there will definitely be moves, it depends on the strength.

What concerns does Mr. Hirai have? "

"It can't be said that it is my concern. The development of such a new field has almost no participation of American companies. This is actually a hidden danger. When I communicated with representatives of several other companies this afternoon, I could feel their concerns."

Meng Qian gave Kazuo Hirai a confident smile, "That's why I said before that our core companies need to increase their investment. The more than 100 billion on the surface is used to promote ecology, but our few Core enterprises also need to inject a sum of money to drive the development of core technologies.

I don't care how much American companies will spend. At least judging from today's on-site response, our current products and technologies are successful and leading, so we should try our best to maintain our leading edge in the early stage of establishing rules. up.

After the rules are established, even the United States will find it difficult to break them.

I believe that users will recognize the product in the end. Most users spend 10,000 yuan to buy a set of equipment because it is fun, not because it is produced by a US company. "

Kazuo Hirai subconsciously asked, "Then how much do you plan to invest?"

"The current budget is 50 billion in core technology, five years."

Kazuo Hirai couldn't hide the envy on his face, "You are really rich."

Meng Qian responded with a very sincere attitude, "No matter how rich we are, each of our investment directions has been carefully considered. I believe that the 100 billion we will spend in the next five years can at least leverage the trillion-level investment in the future. market, otherwise we would not be willing to do this.

Mr. Hirai. "Meng Qian moved closer, and patted him on the shoulder like a friend, "It's time for Sony to explode. As a representative company of Neon Country, Sony should not be worth as much as it is now. "

Meng Qian can always find other people's pain points. Dafeng Group, as the representative of China's technology companies, has now given the valuation of more than one trillion yuan.

However, Samsung next door was made by Dafeng Group and still managed to achieve a market value of 100 billion yuan, but Sony, which is a representative of the technology companies in the neon country, only has a valuation of 60 billion yuan.

As a company that used to be on an equal footing with Microsoft and Intel, it is impossible to say that it is not ashamed.

Kazuo Hirai was stimulated by Meng Qian and stopped hesitating, "Since we are on this boat, we are ready for everything."

After calming Kazuo Hirai's worries, Meng Qian simply took Kazuo Hirai to "brainwash" the representatives of several other core companies.

So the dinner ended at nearly 10 o'clock. After saying goodbye to everyone, Meng Qian got in the car and prepared to go back to the company. He Yating got in the car and reported something to Meng Qian, "Alfahim is here."

Meng Qian glanced at the time, "Since we've caught up, let's meet up first."
