Global Monopoly of Technology

The latest website: But even in the weak artificial intelligence stage, Xiaona's application scenarios are quite rich, and the first is to apply it to the "virtual idol" plan. The core of Hatsune Miku is part of the source code of Xiaona's intelligent body, which is applied to At the virtual concert held by Hatsune Miku, the virtual singer and the fans at the scene achieved interactive communication across dimensions.

It was an absolute surprise for fans, which eventually translated into considerable commercial value.

The second is the intelligent voice assistant application for the next-generation Azure mobile phone being developed by Cote d'Azur, including the future 5G Internet of Things application, all electrical equipment will be digitalized, and the application scenarios of smart home life, people only need to pass a Smartphones can control all electronic devices.

Is it convenient? Yes, that's right, but it's still not convenient enough, and it's still cumbersome.

Because you also have to operate the phone.

But if there is an intelligent voice assistant hosting, it will become the best virtual housekeeper, which can be achieved by simply saying to the mobile phone to turn on and off the lights, sky, TV, etc.

Xiaona's current level of intelligence is still weak artificial intelligence level, but there is absolutely no problem in being competent for these tasks.

Fool is convenience, and the purpose of technological progress is to make everything simple and convenient, which is an inevitable trend.

Whoever can do this can make a lot of money by providing such high-quality solutions to customers.

At this moment, after Luo Sheng completed this round of hardware upgrades for Xiaona and connected to the security system of the technology complex building, the building has achieved the most basic digital control.

He has already completed other hardware transformations.

Now, Luo Sheng wants to turn on the lights and the TV, he doesn't need to do it, he just needs to say a word and input Xiaona's voice to get it done.

Xiaona's current ability can realize a huge variety of application scenarios, which means that it can bring unimaginable benefits.

...

With the passing of time and the arrival of October 2008, another thing that attracted Luo Sheng's attention was that the first WRPO World No. 1 Player Competition was coming as scheduled. This is Bluestar Technology Group's layout of e-sports The first bomb of the industry, and the e-sports industry is like a fuse, detonating virtual reality games in the future, and virtual reality games require hardware of brain-computer interface.

Luo Sheng's layout of all these,

It's all about one link, one big link is another, people can't understand why he attaches so much importance to such a small industry as e-sports, but they will always understand in the future, and when they wake up like a dream, they will Looking back, Luo Sheng was already standing in the air vent.

The e-sports division of the group company has been preparing for the first event for more than a year. The WCG World E-Sports Competition, which was originally recognized as the first event in the industry, is held in October every year, but after Luo Sheng entered the e-sports field, the e-sports brand "WPRO" suddenly became the industry's top brand. Debut is the pinnacle.

In the past, in the e-sports circle, if you asked which event was the most valuable event in the industry, e-sports practitioners would say WCG without hesitation. became WRPO.

In order to avoid competition conflicts, even if the WCG World E-Sports Competition has been successfully held for seven consecutive years, it has to avoid its edge. This year's eighth WCG has been adjusted to be held in the summer.

That is to say, the 8th WCG event has been completed around May this year, and it is still a relatively successful third-party e-sports event. With cooperation, the participation of major e-sports clubs and professional players does not seem to have diminished.

Obviously, this is due to the rules of the WRPO competition system. Because of the points system, only the top 16 professional players or teams in the standings of each major event can be promoted to WRPO, and the way to get points is in Competing in major divisions, WRPO is divided into China Division, Korea Division, European Division, North American Division and Wild Card Division.

Professional players with divisions in each competition area will earn points by playing games in the competition area they are in. The sources of points include official competitions under the WPRO division system, including the competitions operated by the major competitions themselves, as well as a third-party region.

The number of points is calculated according to the scale and influence of the third-party competition.

For example, large-scale third-party events such as WCG are now also cooperating. Before the emergence of WRPO, WCG was hailed as the Olympic Games in e-sports by industry insiders, and the weight ratio of points obtained is also very high.

The players or teams who have won the WCG World Championship will directly be sent to the top sixteen of the WRPO, which means that they can directly compete for the championship trophy of the "Number One Player" in the finals of the year.

The rules of events such as WRPO are to encourage e-sports players to play the game, and at the same time, it is also the foundation for the events in the field of e-sports to bloom. power, and there is no WCG to crowd out.

What Luo Sheng is doing is the broader market of the entire industry. Only when major e-sports events bloom, can the ecology of the overall e-sports industry be developed, species diversity, and the ecology will be healthy.

It is best for more and more people to participate. As long as I am the boss, respect me when I am not the boss, and listen to me, everyone will have meat to eat. If you don’t listen, you will of course be killed.

There is no doubt that WRPO is standing at the top of the food chain in this ecosystem, eating the biggest cake, but Luo Sheng is also actively making the cake bigger, and others can also share the cake.

If you don't make a big cake, someone will definitely be hungry, let alone eat meat together.

Once a system like WPRO is established, basically there will be no third-party events that can challenge its status, because the ecology has already taken shape and the tuyere has been closed.

From now on, WPRO will become the evergreen tree of the event, and the major e-sports projects will continue to be updated. The current mainstream e-sports projects are indisputable "StarCraft", "Warcraft", "Half" these items.

However, the lifespan of each e-sports project is closely related to the game in which it is located, and its life cycle is basically about ten years.

Often the game has declined, no one is playing, and this e-sports project will decline.

"StarCraft" and "Warcraft" will one day retreat from the mainstream to the niche, but the latecomers such as "League of Legends" and "Dota" will carry the banner of e-sports. Similarly, "League of Legends" These events will also have a life cycle, and there will be a day when they will weaken.

However, if the commercialization of the entire e-sports industry is done well, the life cycle of these events will definitely be extended. The original ten-year life cycle may last to fifteen years.

Any specific e-sports competition will decline and change as the game is no longer popular with players, but e-sports itself has no signs of decline at all, and will only become more and more brilliant. The scale of the entire industry is rising steadily.

Then the WPRO brand that is tied to it will not weaken. If it weakens, it will happen that the entire e-sports industry will go downhill.

Since 2008, a consensus has been formed in e-sports competitions. Every year in various e-sports competitions, the biggest purpose of professional players participating in these events is to grab WRPO points, and the ultimate purpose is to take back the WRPO trophy. Home, won the honor of number one player of the year.

For an e-sports player, his highest honor is undoubtedly to be able to enter the WRPO Hall of Fame and leave his name.

...

Entering October, as the host of the first WRPO World Number One Player Competition, Shanghai, its theme element switched to e-sports.

A large number of players rushed to the most modern city in the country from the north and south of the Yangtze River. In addition, there were also players from all over the world who came to Shencheng to support their professional player clubs.

Just like football, basketball, and volleyball in traditional sports.

Shencheng also attaches great importance to this large-scale e-sports event, and actively assists the event party to ensure that this event can be a complete success. The residual heat of the Olympic Games has just begun to recede. This large-scale event has a very obvious role in promoting the local economy. During the period of the event, it will drive surrounding consumption, such as accommodation, catering and so on.

As long as people come, they must consume.

Although the whole world is currently shrouded in the gloom of the financial crisis, there is still time to live, and we can do whatever we need to do.

It is worth mentioning that there is an interesting rule that when the economy is often in recession, the entertainment industry represented by film and television is particularly prosperous at this time.

In October, the first hit that ignited the popularity of global e-sports is the single "Ready; One" released by the popular rock band linkin Park on October 3, which translates to "Ready Player One".

That's right, the WRPO event team invited the lead singer of Linkin Park. This single is the theme song of the first WRPO competition. According to the plan of the WRPO operator, every future event will be held in the warm-up stage on the eve of the competition. first theme song.

Once "Ready; One" was released, the MV was simultaneously uploaded to BluestarVideo, the most popular streaming video site, and it exceeded 2 million views on the BV video site in just one day.

...

WRPO Division.

In the conference room, Wang Qiwei, who was sitting in the first place, looked at his subordinates and said solemnly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, the first WRPO event is the top priority, the group company has invested a lot of resources, and President Luo will also be there on the opening day. There is no need to say too much about the importance and importance of the scene."

At this moment, there are ten people in charge of the secretariat, media department, event planning department, logistics department, investment promotion department and other departments in the conference room.

For them, everyone is under a lot of pressure, and they only have one thought, to complete this activity according to the task indicators, as long as there are no mistakes, they are thankful.

At this time, the director of the investment promotion department said: "In terms of investment promotion, the German mechanical keyboard manufacturer Cherry has increased the sponsorship fee, with a total sponsorship fee of 8.2 million US dollars. In addition, other sponsors include Samsung Display, Intel, Nvidia, Twenty-eight well-known manufacturers, including Dell, have added about 20% of the sponsorship fee. This year’s WRPO’s revenue from sponsors has reached 68.9 million US dollars. This year, the WPRO event brand has gained 100 million US dollars in sponsorship fees. income."

It has to be said that before the WRPO World Number One Player Competition, the competition in the major divisions was outstanding, and the sponsors realized the advertising benefits and increased their investment, and the WPRO event brand operation department also had bargaining power. Therefore, the majors have added sponsorship fees.

One of the most typical cases is Cherry, a German mechanical keyboard manufacturer. E-sports has turned this dying mechanical keyboard manufacturer Xianyu over. At present, this company sticks to the mechanical keyboard business all over the world. The event ended, and Cherry's mechanical keyboard sales soared by around 105% over the past two quarters.

Mechanical keyboards have met the goddess of luck in this era - e-sports.

Finally got a new lease of life. Cherry, who has tasted the sweetness, saw the advertising effectiveness of mechanical keyboards in the field of e-sports, and did not skimp on small money. Not only did they sponsor the WRPO event brand, but they signed a 5-year contract in one go. , and also spends money on well-known e-sports clubs and star players at home and abroad for endorsement.

The sound of the mechanical keyboard Parara is the embodiment of the speed of the master. The speed of the hand is a manifestation of the strength in the e-sports game. In addition, the design of the cool shape and lighting is full of force. Carrying such a set of peripherals There is no focus on the Internet cafe show. Well, I am afraid that he is a master who successfully hit the G-spot of the players.

Then you can give them the illusion of becoming an e-sports master after buying a mechanical keyboard.

Fit ratio, this is the rigid demand of human beings. When and what field will never be outdated, grasping the force point is indirectly equivalent to grasping the small money.

Anyway, even a rookie has to have such a set of equipment, plus the professional players all use mechanical keyboards, and the rookies who have the dream of being a super player also buy it one after another.

The mechanical keyboard has gradually changed from being unpopular to the goddess of luck in e-sports. Manufacturers have seen the benefits and are trying to make the mechanical keyboard a subculture fashion popular in e-sports.

Of course, the biggest name among the sponsors is undoubtedly a girl.

She is the virtual idol of Bluestar Technology - Hatsune Miku.

Although they are all from the same parent company, the brothers still make up their minds. Hatsune Miku, a virtual singer brand, is also being promoted. This time, it is linked with WRPO and paid 10 million US dollars in the form of sponsors.

This time, the WRPO event is linked with Hatsune Miku, and also appeared in the theme song "Ready; One", the image of an e-sports girl with double ponytails, headphones and a new costume.

E-sports + secondary yuan + otaku + players + games, etc. These elements have strong linkage attributes. Basically, a single flowering can lead to multi-point linkage, and the economic benefits it produces are also amazing.

After all, there is no joke in the circle: there is a wall in a dead house, and a suite in the capital.

It can be seen that the consumption power of Happy Fat House is strong. If he is still a game house, he is still a fever level, and he will be eaten to death.
