Global monopoly of technology

[Thanks and rewards for "Where is she?"]

——

"What magical technology is this?"

"Nani??"

"Oumaika, is this the legendary holographic projection technology? Has the technology advanced to such an exaggerated level?"

"Ahhhh, why didn't my hand speed get the ticket?"

"The scene must be amazing, envy, jealousy and hate!"

"I'm so cute, my old man's girly heart~~"

"All those who go to the scene are true fans."

"Bluestar Technology Misuse [Broken Sound]!!!"

"Miku sauce race high!!"

...

Online fan audience, some domestic fans gathered on the Bluestar Video website, many fans from Japan gathered on the Niconico website, and fans from Europe and the United States gathered on the international version of BluestarVideo for the first time to watch Hatsune Miku Live virtual concert.

When the virtual idol made its debut at the concert, it astounded every witness, and the fans and audience on the scene were the most shocked. They never expected that it would far exceed their highest expectations by several times.

Hatsune Miku's rendering technology is so powerful that everyone immediately thought that Bluestar Technology applied black technology such as holographic projection in the concert.

The media who came to the scene didn't care about this, and released the news as soon as possible. The keywords are "virtual concert", "holographic projection?" and other eye-popping words.

However, the media of the person in charge still raised a question mark, after all, the official did not come out to confirm.

But it is enough to attract the attention of people inside and outside the circle, especially in the scientific and technological circles.

But for the fans and audience who came to the scene, they are now completely immersed in the virtual concert, waving the light stick in their hands enthusiastically, cheering for the virtual singer idol on the stage.

...

"Mr. He, some media reports seem to be wrong. Many media newsletters mistakenly believe that we have applied holographic projection technology at the concert. It is a bit more and more realistic. Should we issue an announcement to clarify?"

At this moment, the concert is in progress. He Chao, the project leader, is secretly observing in the background. The feedback on the scene makes him very satisfied.

Hearing the assistant who ran over to report to him said that, He Chao, who was observing the concert scene secretly, stopped immediately: "No, the official does not make any announcements or responses for the time being. Just let the public opinion freely ferment. This is a trip out of the circle. Great opportunity."

While talking, He Chao couldn't help but smile, and said, "It is suspected of holographic projection technology. Do you want to kill this kind of free publicity exposure? Stupid? Don't worry, just observe, wait until we are revealing the concert technology through official channels. detail."

"understand!"

With the official acquiescence, the topic of the suspected use of holographic projection technology in Hatsune Miku’s virtual concert is detonating, and the heat of this concert has gradually spread from the second circle to the outside, and more and more media Paying attention to the reports, people in the scientific and technological circles can't sit still.

Holographic technology.

This legendary god-level high-end display technology suddenly appeared, suspected to appear at a virtual concert, and the media was lavishly rendering it in order to gain attention, and the Bluestar Technology official did not come out to make a sound. Let it ferment, the more it spreads for a while.

The exposure of Hatsune Miku, a virtual idol brand and virtual concerts, has soared in a short period of time and has become the hottest topic nowadays. This is a surprise for the operation department.

There is no doubt that this is of great benefit. Hatsune Miku's popularity has also been improved, allowing more people to know about the existence of "her", and at the same time the number of fans is growing rapidly.

During the concert at this moment, the fans and audience both inside and outside the venue were calling their favorite "His Royal Highness the First Princess in the World", but the person in charge of this project, He Chao, was observing in the background for a while and then left silently. Up.

On the way back to the temporary office of the office, he asked the assistants who followed him: "How about the virtual ticket sales for the concert? So far."

The assistant immediately replied: “All aspects far exceeded expectations. The Japanese market performed the most eye-catching. The number of virtual tickets purchased on the Niconico website has reached 43,700, followed by the number of subscriptions on BluestarVideo, which has reached 18,700.”

He Chao couldn’t be too satisfied with such data. It was indeed unexpected by their operations department. Earlier it was estimated that the number of subscriptions on Niconico’s video website should be around 20,000. He didn’t expect to double it directly. The estimate of BV video websites that focus on Europe and the United States is 12,000, which also exceeded expectations.

Judging from the existing sales data, the popularity of virtual singers in Japan far exceeds that of other regions.

The 43,700 virtual tickets sold on the Niconico website created sales of 314 million yen, or about 3.05 million U.S. dollars; 18,700 virtual tickets were sold on the BV video site, a sales of 1.122 million U.S. dollars.

This kind of sales data compares the annual revenue of Bluestar Technology Group to the tens of billions of U.S. dollars. It doesn't even count as a fraction, it should be a fraction of a fraction.

But it is still enough to excite He Chao and their operations team. The significance of this number is not how much money they have made, but how big the prospects are.

Obviously, the performance far beyond expectations makes the "virtual idol" project very imaginative in the future. With continuous development and hard work, the harvest is no longer present but in the future.

In fact, US$3.05 million and US$1.122 million are definitely not the final sales of virtual tickets for this concert. They will continue to generate revenue in the future. An IP needs to be deposited and accumulated, and its value will become more terrifying in the future.

Like those Hollywood movie giants, their films earn a lot of money just by licensing.

The video of the concert will always be posted on the website, and new users who want to watch it back need to purchase virtual tickets to unlock it. As long as Hatsune Miku's fan base continues to grow, sales will continue to generate revenue.

With the long-term intensive operation of this brand, the snowball will get bigger and bigger, and it will hardly consume too much cost. In turn, the profit will become more and more substantial.

The performance far exceeded expectations also greatly increased the confidence of the "virtual idol" operating team. The location of Hatsune Miku's second concert is about to come out. It has now been determined that it will be in North America, but the specific city is still being selected. among.

...

Hatsune Miku is creating a wave of virtual idols in Japan. Thousands of dead houses are enthusiastic about a virtual singer, making it difficult for outsiders to understand, especially those in the IT industry.

In the eyes of some programmers, it's just a bunch of codes.

Are these dead houses...

But this is the status quo, dislike does not mean that others dislike it. Japanese dead houses have no resistance to this virtual girl.

And Luo Sheng has not left in Tokyo so far. The biggest purpose of his trip is to talk to Sony about whether the Cell chip business can be bought. So far, the heads of the two sides have not officially met for the talks, but sent people. First go to visit Sony to express the willingness to acquire.

After learning that the Côte d'Azur was interested in buying the Cell chip business, Sony's executives were very surprised.

After the contact between the two parties, on the afternoon of the third day when Luo Sheng arrived in Tokyo, the helms of the two parties formally met at a business hotel for talks.

Today, the head of Sony’s giant group is no longer Nobuyuki Idei. Three years ago, he handed the position of Sony’s CEO to the then 63-year-old Howard Stringer, who only joined in 1997. Sony’s British have been in charge of entertainment sectors such as movies and music for many years.

Sony is skeptical about Idei's decision inside and outside.

After all, the name Sony is a symbol of Japan's manufacturing industry. It is incredible to give such a position as a family member to someone who has two cultures in Japan.

In the vanity field of business, few people do not hesitate to get out of the game for the company's goals. Others say this is helpless and desolate, but Luo Sheng can see Idei Nobuyuki's incomparable confidence and fearlessness.

Sony’s coaching change is different from the passive coaching change of Japan's production due to the change of major shareholders, but it is entirely out of Idei's full push.Under the background of the strong Japanese culture, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a result without the fortitude of "do it if you die" and the calmness of determination.

It makes sense that the Japanese electronics giant can stand on the brink of bankruptcy.

According to the annual report released on May 15 this year, Nobuyuki Idei can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Sony’s main business profit has doubled, surpassing Panasonic, and regaining the top spot among Japanese electronics companies.

However, this is not good news for Luo Sheng who wants to acquire Sony's Cell business, which means that Sony indirectly has greater bargaining power.

Sony was still in bankruptcy a few years ago, but now the tone has eased and the crisis has been overcome. This has also brought certain variables to Luo Sheng's acquisition of the Cell chip business.

At this moment, sitting across from Luo Sheng was an Englishman, Howard Stringer, the head of Sony nowadays. The eyes of both sides were unavoidably looking at each other.

For the young man sitting in front of him who is only one-third of his age, the 66-year-old Howard does not have any contempt for this technology and business giant.
