【Chapter 273: The more you sell, the more you lose?】
"The virtual world, like what we just experienced, can be omnipotent, clones, soaring, changing, flying fighter jets and other strange abilities, but these are forbidden in the community. The community is a place where everyone must abide by order. Like the real world, there are also Internet police officers played by AI in the community. Anyone who does not abide by order in the public community will be punished accordingly, and even permanently prohibits connecting to the virtual world. These require time to improve step by step. But in the game world, you can be omnipotent. In my world, you are the master."
Ren Hong opened his hands and looked at Zuckerberg in surprise and said, "The virtual world is a new experience, unprecedented. Here, for users, it is a fantasy and perfect world that is unprecedented and can't let go. For all businesses, it is full of endless opportunities and wealth. The only thing they lack is the vision and creativity to discover opportunities."
"This is the virtual information age..." Zuckerberg murmured to himself.
The human world is about to change. This is the only idea in Zuckerberg's mind at this time. This creation-like innovation will subvert human lifestyles, enrich human life, and change the process of human civilization. When the virtual world popularizes all mankind, human beings will have two worlds, the illusory paradise and the real world.
At this moment, Zuckerberg realized how rare the opportunity Fae Book has. Is this the return of Ren Hong for the $12 billion?
If this is an investment, it will definitely become the biggest profit in Zuckerberg in his life.
For the Internet practitioner Zuckerberg, who knows the first-mover advantage of knowing the news in advance, he knows how rare it is. This means taking the lead over others, and the first step is a huge advantage.
"After seeing all this, there is no longer any matter to stop me from being determined to be a community." Zuckerberg said solemnly.
Ren Hongxiao said: "Matrix Technology has always emphasized that we cannot do content. The 'gene' and 'character' of Matrix Technology determine our development direction and positioning. We are destined to not do content, so you never have to worry that I will enter the social field. Fae Book focuses on socializing and leveraging our own advantages. In the future, a trillion-dollar market value is not a dream."
"Thank you!" Zuckerberg said sincerely. He knew very well what this first-mover advantage meant to Faebook.
"No need to do so. The names of xlous and faebook are destined to have extraordinary meanings. In a sense, faebook has made xlous. Now, xlous gives back to faebook, everything is right. I hope we don't become competitors. I am the godfather of ma." Ren Hong smiled and said so.
When Zuckerberg heard this, he immediately smiled relaxed, "I think no one is willing to compete with xlous.ma will stop it."
"Ha ha!"
“Ha~!”
The atmosphere is becoming more and more lively. Ren Hong continued to the topic and said: "Making content is your strength, especially socializing. The virtual world will definitely become rich and colorful in the future with more and more participants joining it. But at the beginning, he was a blank piece of paper and needed someone to describe it. There is not enough good content, everything is decoration and empty talk. The beginning is difficult. I need fae Book to take the lead in creating a relatively complete set of communities when launching the virtual world market, and attracting the first batch of users through virtual games."
"No problem." Zuckerberg nodded and asked again: "But how should you participate in the Faebook?"
Ren Hong said: "If you choose a reliable team to come to Matrix Technology, we will teach them something new. In the future, as the virtual world launches the market, some open source databases will be announced. As long as every participant is interested in it, he can add his creativity to this world."
Zuckerberg: "Okay!"
"There is another problem," Zuckerberg said: "Users are the premise and foundation of everything. Although this product is perfect, users need clients to connect to the virtual world, that is, perception helmets. Such cutting-edge technology products should not be cheap. If they are too expensive, they will also suppress popularization. Although we all know that it will ban the current Internet, long-term means high investment and slow returns."
Zuckerberg thought about it and asked: "I'll ask you a risky question, I wonder what the price of xlous's client-perception helmet is?"
"You're right." Ren Hong nodded and said, "The price of the first generation of perception helmets will be suppressed to between $4,500, the cheaper the better."
4,500 US dollars is equivalent to the cost price. Ren Hong did not intend to make a penny on the client at all. The most profitable part of the virtual world is undoubtedly the platform's share income. Compared with the platform's profit, the client is not worth mentioning at all. The number of users is the most valuable. If one more user connects to the virtual world, it can indirectly bring more uninterrupted benefits to Matrix Technology. No matter he consumes in any sector of the virtual world, Matrix Technology can obtain indirect benefits from the platform.
As long as users enter the virtual world, there will always be places to consume. As long as they consume, matrix technology can obtain indirect benefits.
This is the advantage of building a platform.
"$4,500?" Zuckerberg said in surprise: "How could it be so cheap?"
In his opinion, such cutting-edge technology products are at least worth tens of thousands of dollars in retail prices.
"US$4,500 is basically equal to the cost price." Ren Hong said: "I even think the popularity of this price is too expensive. I am considering whether to sell at a loss below the cost price. If necessary, it is not impossible to do a loss-making transaction." Ren Hong looked at Zuckerberg, who was like a wood carving.
When Zuckerberg heard this, he was speechless and sold at the same price. This means that the more you sell, the more you lose, there is probably no second one in the world. He never expected Ren Hong to do this, but Zuckerberg knew after being surprised that this kind of business was indeed a real loss, but it is not necessarily a real loss.
This is very consistent with the development model of the Internet that first spends money to promote and cultivate the market and then operates. It is just more extreme. This can also reflect from the side the huge potential of the virtual world market. Perhaps Matrix Technology lost tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars when promoting clients and accumulating users, but maybe it can recover the cost and make profits in the second year. The immediate interests and final interests are not at the same level. After the virtual world becomes mainstream, Matrix Technology's annual income can even be as rich as the country.
You know, what he earns is the money from every participant, and it is crazy to think about the terrifying revenue!
