"Don't think too much about it. After all, the sales volume is only one million units. Even if Kechuang Bio gives Gusu preferential treatment, Gusu will only sell a maximum of fifty thousand units."

I've never had any luck when it comes to getting tickets.

I never thought I'd have that kind of luck.

On the day the Kechuang Bio virtual reality device was released, Wu Yong and a group of friends specifically sought out a place that supposedly had the fastest communication network in all of Suzhou, just to be 0.01 seconds faster than others.

It's supposed to be a group of friends, but there are really only four or five people.

"Don't even mention it. I never try to buy tickets myself. I used to buy them from scalpers."

I had already ordered a virtual reality device from a scalper I knew well in advance, and the deposit alone was as high as 100,000 yuan.

It is twenty times the official price of Kechuang Biotechnology.

Although I usually buy concert tickets directly from scalpers, these scalpers this time are really ruthless.

Each of them plans to make a fortune from the sale of Kechuang Bio's virtual reality devices.

The 100,000 here is a deposit; the remaining amount will be paid later depending on the specific circumstances.

As a result, after the press conference for Kechuang Biotechnology ended, all the scalpers in my WeChat Moments were cursing it.

Everyone is cursing Kechuang Bio and Li Miaomiao.

They could even go after a beautiful woman like Ms. Li.

Later, their WeChat accounts were basically all blocked by Tencent.

Did you get your deposit back?

"Of course, if he fails to deliver and doesn't refund my deposit, he can forget about staying in the scalper business."

Most of those present were second-generation rich kids, local bullies in Suzhou.

"If it were me, I would demand double the compensation."

"Actually, I did think about it, but that person was in such a terrible state."

He signed a contract with a major internet company, which clearly stipulated the amount of compensation.

He can't deliver a single unit. According to the contract, he'll lose all the money he's made in the past ten years as a scalper.

The legal departments and external legal teams of big companies are not so easy to deal with; they can review your contracts eight times over.

He wasn't left with a single loophole.

He had no choice but to accept the punishment.

When he refunded me later, we chatted briefly. Fortunately, he had a house in Suzhou, and by selling the property there, he was barely able to catch his breath.

Seeing how miserable he was, I let him go; after all, he'd helped me with so many things over the years.

For them, scalpers are not just selling tickets, but also selling services.

This includes scouting locations in advance, selecting the best spots with the best views and sound effects, and then selling them to users.

In addition to regular services, we provide information such as who's currently trending, what fashion items are popular, and which items are worth buying.

(I don't know much about fashion either. I bought a piece from an international brand a year ago, and the price of that piece has increased tenfold... I just bought it on a whim, and it's made me much more money than stocks or funds.)

Scalpers may even deliver items to you on holidays and special occasions.

To put it bluntly, if scalpers do well, they will eventually move towards high-end customized service industries.

"Young Master Huang is quite kind."

If it were Young Master Wu, he would have skinned him alive.

"What are you talking about? Even if the compensation is ten times the amount, it's only one million. That's far from being skinned alive."

I've met the scalper who specifically serves Huang Hui; my dad's lab used him to handle the procurement of sensitive research equipment.

He is clearly not just a scalper; in fact, his identity has long since shifted from scalper to various gray-market industries.

He personally handled all of Huang Shao's orders simply to maintain his relationship with him.

He says he'll just sell the house? These people have plenty of ways to do it.

If one out of ten sentences is true, that's already pretty good.

However, significant financial losses are certain, but whether they were forced to sell real estate remains questionable.

I estimate that all the scalpers, not just scalpers, but also the senior executives and middle managers within Kechuang Biotechnology, are hoping to make a fortune from this virtual reality device launch.

I just didn't expect Zheng Li to be so ruthless as to be able to combine virtual reality devices with brainwaves.

The disruptive power of technology renders any form of real-world opportunism ineffective.

Wu Yong, having been influenced by his father and having spent a few years in academia, had a clear understanding of technological advantages.

Wu Yong had originally planned to run a business, and his father had even chosen the location for him and arranged everything.

Who knew that China would experience both brain-computer interface VR and a major explosion in artificial intelligence?

This large ship is clearly about to be revitalized, and the real estate mine has been firmly suppressed.

(There is still hope, but with brain-computer interface technology, the chances of survival are even greater.)

After careful consideration, Wu Yong's father decided to let him stay.

To be honest, it's not necessarily better for Chinese people to go overseas; for ordinary people, the minimum standard is absolutely guaranteed.

However, for someone like Wu Yong who has certain assets, the safety of such a security issue is highly questionable.

After all, someone else might be eyeing your principal.

There are many precedents for this kind of thing, especially in the last decade when Mao Zedong taught the Chinese people a good lesson: the subject before "private property is sacred and inviolable" may not include you.

"Science and Technology Innovation Biotechnology's technology is definitely a game-changer."

Forget about dimensional reduction, this is practically cutting-edge technology.

I never imagined I would be able to play virtual reality devices in my lifetime.

Even if only one million units of the Kechuang Biotech product are sold this time, at least with the long queues, it should take one or two years to get one.

I originally thought that even a metaverse product like brain-computer interface VR would take at least thirty years to develop.
