Chapter 17 The Iron-headed Net Dragon
Zhang Heying's ominous premonition soon came true.
NetDragon's meeting went very poorly.
As soon as he proposed to apologize and give in to Lin You in order to ask for forgiveness, he immediately aroused fierce opposition from the senior officials present.
The boss was also livid with anger.
But before the boss said anything, the head of the R&D department became angry.
"A college student can do it, which shows that this technology is not really unattainable. It is probably just that our thinking has fallen into a misunderstanding and has taken the wrong path temporarily! As long as we adjust the direction, we will probably obtain the technology in a very short time."
Breakthrough! You don’t need to buy other people’s authorization, you will only be controlled by others!”
"Even if you take a step back, as we all know, the most difficult step for a new technology is always the birth. As long as there are successful cases, the difficulty of replicating will be greatly reduced! Only by following your own route and holding technology patents in your own hands can you
It’s the wisest choice!”
The main program took advantage of every opportunity to support: "Nowadays, the development cycle of game masterpieces is calculated in years. New technologies will be released one or two months later, and it will not have a big impact on the production of our games."
The chief planner also interjected: "Yes, and while we are waiting for technological innovation, we can also do the preliminary preparations first without delaying anything."
Art: R&D, main process and planning are right.
Seeing that so many senior officials were opposed to the settlement, and their arguments were very reasonable, the boss hesitated.
The chief planner spoke again: "We cannot be intimidated by the temporary technical gap, and technology is not everything in the game.
Even now we are in the era of virtual games. In the past, computer games were controlled by keyboard and mouse, and console games were controlled by controllers. There were still companies doing it, and the profitability was not bad."
It's just that those companies don't have the strength to enter the leading field of the industry. He thought in his mind, but there was no need to say it out loud.
"Even if his technology is temporarily ahead, it does not mean that he can affect our advantage in games. The reputation NetDragon has accumulated over the years cannot be easily shaken, not to mention that what he makes is just a walking simulator with unknown meaning.
!”
The boss raised his own question: "So, is it possible for him to make a large-scale virtual game that threatens our position?"
The big boss who founded NetDragon has abdicated, and the new one has received a complete elite education since he was a child. When he came to NetDragon and was about to take over from his father, he only tried to understand the products and played with them on the market.
’s best games.
In his concept, the game is a commodity, and the details of producing the commodity do not need to be studied by himself as the boss. Therefore, when encountering such problems, he needs to rely on his subordinates to provide professional advice.
However, the pride in his heart made him still unwilling to admit defeat like this.
How could a college student with no money, no power, and even no graduation have the qualifications to make him admit defeat?
The chief planner immediately replied: "Even if he is not a college student alone, why would he dare to make a large-scale game? Even if he really dares to do it, not everyone can do large-scale games! That requires an experienced and mature team.
Only then can we do it!
But talents who can do large-scale virtual games are basically a carrot and a pit. As long as you communicate well with the boss and prevent him from recruiting enough people, he will be a toothless tiger."
The young boss nodded with satisfaction: "This is not difficult. I will contact Feihu and Desert Island to remind them to keep an eye on everyone under their command, so that he can't recruit anyone! No one supports him, but I would like to see him.
What can one person do!”
"Mr. Zhao, would you like to contact the Jade Bird Alliance as well? Although the Jade Bird Alliance does not have top companies, there are still talents with experience in making large-scale virtual games."
The Jade Bird Alliance is an alliance of small and medium-sized game studios. Its original intention is to join forces to keep warm, to unite to facilitate the coordination of new game releases, and to resist the pressure of large companies.
A large number of them are still producing computer games and console games. There are not many virtual game producers, but there are also some people who have resigned from large game companies.
"Yes, it is indeed necessary." The boss nodded slightly: "He is challenging the entire industry, so it is only right that he be boycotted by the entire industry."
"The meeting will be held here for now. I'll call them and contact them. Let's all do our own thing. The meeting is over."
Zhang Heying sat in his seat and watched the performance of this group of people. For a moment, he was a little confused.
Do these supervisors really feel that Lin You is not a big threat?
Or are they resisting Lin You's new technology, worried that it will threaten their status in the company and stable life?
Especially for the head of the R&D department, since when can top technologies be imitated?
20,000 R&D personnel, that's the number in the plan. When will they be fully staffed? Not to mention that most of these people are studying how to improve the hardware performance of the equipment so that the machine has greater capacity and faster speed.
Reading speed, smaller latency, higher display resolution, faster processing speed...
Can these people really make a U-turn, put down their work, turn around to study another direction, and still achieve technological breakthroughs in a month or two?
He didn't understand technology, but he was very skeptical.
It can be said that the big boss has already made the decision and most of the senior management have voted in favor. As the head of the public relations department, what qualifications does he have to object?
In the end, he could only sigh secretly and leave the meeting room. He felt that he needed to add some headhunting friends in advance.
At the same time, there are still some voices that are growing stronger little by little.
In a small live broadcast room with just over a thousand people, Xia Yi was paying no attention to what was going on outside the window, focusing on the live broadcast.
She didn't even care about news related to Lin You before.
But during the live broadcast today, suddenly all the viewers were crazy about this name.
There are also words like “virtual reality”, “so great”, and “I’ve finally waited until this day”.
Xia Yi then opened Lingxi based on the information given by water friends and saw the video posted by Lin You.
I couldn't help crying when I saw it in the middle, and the more I cried, the sadder I became, and I couldn't stop at all.
The water friends kept offering their condolences.
This is because Xia Yi has a special label: a person with a disability.
She is a one-legged female anchor.
And her most popular work is not her game live broadcast or live broadcast slices, but a very magical vlog.
That day she went to play an escape room with her friends, and because she was wearing pants, she couldn't tell the difference.
As a result, in a dark corridor, a staff member playing the role of an NPC pulled her prosthetic limb off...
They both screamed at the same time.
The girl was crying loudly and crawling towards the NPC while lying on the ground, shouting: "My legs! My legs! Give me my legs back!"
And the staff member’s scream was 10,000 times worse than hers…
After she came out with the prosthetic leg, she even apologized to others.
When this video came out, it went viral all over the Internet instantly, and she also experienced the feeling of becoming famous overnight.
But the heat comes and goes just as quickly.
Due to the limitations of her prosthetic limbs, it is difficult for her to engage in intense exercise, let alone stand on an omnidirectional treadmill and play VR games.
Now she finally sees the light.
But she wasn't just crying for herself.
Because of her own special situation, she knows many players with disabilities. They have lost part of their body functions due to various reasons. They have many inconveniences in life, and they have to overcome many difficulties when playing games.
When she thought that these people would be able to use this kind of equipment in the future, enter a fully immersive virtual reality, and re-experience the feelings of a healthy person, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and she cried louder and louder.
It was as if he wanted to release all the accumulated grievances and tears over the years in one breath.
