Chapter 1175

It's not just consumers that are crazy.

As far away as Silicon Valley on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, watching this "Carnival" on the other side of the ocean, greedy people are almost crying.

I don't know how many American consumers fly to China to attend that conference. In the past two days, Facebook and twitter, almost three out of every ten messages are discussing the hv-1.

There is almost no doubt that if this device is introduced to the United States, it will inevitably usher in a new round of Internet industry revolution!

In Menlo Park, California, in the building of Facebook headquarters, Zuckerberg was watching a report from his secretary, and his heart was pounding.

On the one hand, it's because of the stimulation, on the other hand, it's naturally red eyed.

Just at the end of last year, they just completed the division of virtual reality equipment development business of oculus, a VR company of their own. A little later, the whole virtual reality business fell into their hands.

As for the blush, it's not necessary to say that it's impossible to see the sensation caused by this immersive virtual reality technology in the Chinese market and the envy in the eyes of North American consumers.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Closing the report in his hand, Zuckerberg nodded to his secretary, motioned her to go out and pour herself a cup of coffee, and then cleared his throat.

"Come in, please."

The door opened and a middle-aged man with thin hair and gold rimmed glasses came in.

"I don't quite understand what you mean," he said, as he walked up to Zack Burke and put his hands on the table. "The hv-1 helmet has been successful on the other side of the sea, proving that immersive virtual reality devices have a broad market, but you have cut our R & D department! I don't understand what you think! "

It's no one else standing in front of Zuckerberg complaining. It's Dr. sanjadi, chief technology officer of oculus. Nearly ten years ago, he led the R & D team of oculus company to lay out the future for Facebook.

What happened these days, however, was that he almost got a heart attack.

The whole R & D department has been cut off, and oculus company has only one shell left. Apart from the whole company's structure still intact, with a few pitiful patents, and occasionally selling a few "old age" VR glasses to satisfy users' appetites, there is nothing left.

"Don't get excited."

Faced with sangadi's question, Zuckerberg smiled, handed the doctor a glass of water, watched him take a sip, and then he breathed more smoothly, then he continued without hesitation.

"If I give you a year's time, how sure are you to beat star technology, bypass their patent barriers, and use the neural access VR equipment you originally developed to occupy the North American market in front of them?"

Listening to Zuckerberg's sharp question, sangadi's momentum slightly stagnated.

Although he wanted to bluff, but in the face of boss's eyes, he didn't mention the courage at last. He was silent for a long time and forced out a word from his mouth.

“…… It's hard. "

Even if he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.

If the gap is not large, there is still the possibility of catching up. However, the current situation is that no company in Silicon Valley has mastered the core technology of the phantom system launched by star technology, or even touched the door.

In fact, it's impossible to master.

In addition to hardware, people don't need to register their patents for software. All calculations are done in the cloud. If you want to copy a similar system, you can only hack it into people's servers.

Now there are only two ways for enterprises wishing to do virtual reality hardware to choose, either to give up the idea completely, or to be a little brother and join in the standards they set, to produce VR helmets that are fully compatible with the phantom system, and to honestly "star tax" for each VR helmet.

"But Do we just watch those Chinese people take the whole market away from us? "

It happened that the secretary who went out to make coffee came back.

When he heard his subordinates' questions, Zuckerberg just smiled, took the coffee from his secretary, took a sip of it and said.

"It's impossible to steal the whole market, so they can't enter at all. Sooner or later, they have to enter the U.S. market, and we can seize this opportunity and take a share from them. Although I understand your anxiety, we are far behind in VR technology. It's unwise to meet them now After all, Facebook is our core business, isn't it? Mr sangadi. "

Sangadi's throat moved, trying to say something, but in the end nothing was said.

The reason why we, together with other partners, transferred the equity of oculus to Zuckerberg is because we believe that this remarkable technology leader will lead them to the future.Unexpectedly, their opponents just showed their fangs. The president, who made him respect, turned around and slashed at his own people, giving up the technical route they had been studying for many years.

Although he also knows that this is an indisputable thing, he has not produced convincing results and has his own problems, but such an outcome still makes him feel heartache like a drop of blood.

Did not care about sangadi's face pain expression, Zuckerberg continued to pick up the report on the table looked at two eyes, suddenly said.

"I heard that the phantom system has a large dependence on network speed?"

“…… It seems that there is such a saying, after all, the phantom system is mainly based on cloud computing technology, "sanjadi hesitated." as for Huawei's hv-1 helmet, the traffic scheme they adopted is mainly the communication base produced by Huawei Hisilicon, which realizes the connection with the virtual reality network. In terms of compatibility, it is also optimized for their own routers, communication base stations and other hardware devices. "

Zuckerberg touched his chin, and suddenly his eyes began to shimmer.

"If we can help their devices get into North America."

"It's impossible!" Sangadi looked at Zuckerberg with a strange face. "Communication hardware has always been the most sensitive piece. The Ministry of Commerce will not agree. It will agree back ten thousand steps. The White House and Congress will try their best to exclude them."

"I know it's difficult, but It's not hopeless, is it? This is an opportunity to keep up with the world's rhythm. Would you like to watch our network fall behind in an era? " With his index finger on the table, Zuckerberg said to himself, "we can't do it on our own, so we need allies."

At this time, he suddenly thought of a phone call.

The phone belongs to a rich young man.

Of course, unlike other rich people, he is also the new head of the Boston syndicate in addition to the simple money. No matter in financial circles or political circles, that guy can be regarded as a big man with a head and a face. His huge network resources are also incomparable to those who are simply rich

Although he and the man just handed over their business cards at a cocktail party, they seemed to have a chance to cooperate based on the man's interest in new technology.

And this is a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Zuckerberg's heart suddenly became hot.

"In a word, I'll take care of it. You just have to do your own thing."

"In the future, oculus's business will focus on the production of virtual reality access equipment, and we will directly adopt the technical standards of Star Technology..."

"As for how to cooperate, I will talk with them personally."

……

One million helmets sold out in one day, and the turnover of 12 billion a day even shocked Wall Street in North America.

However, if someone thinks that the turnover of 12 billion yuan is enough to be amazing, he knows nothing about Huawei Group's business.

In fact, the hv-1 helmet is just a part of Huawei's layout around virtual reality technology. Although it has shown enough to make money, in fact, it is not even a big part of the profit source.

What they really make money is the carbon based communication baseband used in hv-1, as well as the neural modem compatible with phantom system, these key hardware.

At present, only Jiangcheng semiconductor industrial park can produce these hardware in the world. Even rice helmets that have not yet been put on the market, many of which cannot be produced, are purchased from their factories.

In the future, these industries will bring them more than 100 billion market shares. Even if they have to pay a large patent fee to star technology, the profits will be enough for them to make a lot of money

Just when the whole world is crazy about the launch of phantom system, as the "father of virtual reality technology", the performance of land boat is quite calm and low-key.

Although he can receive a lot of reminders or private letters on his Twitter every day, Professor Lu, who is always willing to share his joy with his fans, this time seemed to see nothing and didn't respond to any news.

In fact, it's not that he deliberately avoided the news, but that he didn't see it.

He's been in the lab all these days with a gadget

Although it may not be as amazing as virtual reality technology.

But when it comes to its technology content and its impact on the global information industry, compared with virtual reality technology, I'm afraid it's no worse, or even worse
