There are basically no products with sufficient influence.
Even today, their most competitive consumer product is still Baidu Search, which they developed thirty years ago.
The only positive aspect is that in the third decade of the 21st century, Baidu capitalized on the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence.
Thanks to its consistent investment in artificial intelligence over the years, Baidu has accumulated some core technology patents and has done well in the field of industrial internet in recent years.
It is precisely by seizing the opportunity presented by artificial intelligence that Baidu has not fallen behind in the new era, and its situation in recent years has been even better than that of Ali.
Alibaba's core business is now cloud computing, while its e-commerce and online payment sectors have shown a clear downward trend.
"Moreover, Mr. Lei, given your long-term cooperative relationship with Kechuang Biotechnology, you should have heard some rumors about it."
"I suppose they were mentally prepared," Li Yanhong added.
He felt that Lei Jun was deliberately putting on this act to scare away potential competitors.
Before Robin Li brought his senior executives to Suzhou for a meeting, they held an internal simulation exercise, during which there was a lot of speculation about the nature of the collaboration.
This includes the form of blind marking.
Everyone wrote down their prices, and then Kechuang Bio selected the company that offered the highest price as its partner.
Lei Jun shook his head and said, "The interests involved this time are too great, and I haven't received any information about it."
The waiting time wasn't long, and since everyone was a potential competitor, after Robin Li interrupted, Lei Jun and Pony Ma clearly lost interest in talking.
Li Miaomiao walked into the venue and said, "I'm sorry to keep you all waiting. You have all been partners of Kechuang Bio for many years."
There are many familiar faces here, including some who have collaborated with us since the early days of Kechuang Biotechnology.
They also later had partners in the fields of brain-computer interfaces and artificial intelligence.
In any case, Kechuang Biotechnology is very grateful for everyone's attendance.
Our collaboration this time is very simple: it's about virtual world development!
The aforementioned words appeared on the projection screen behind Li Miaomiao: Virtual World Development Rights.
Her words were translated into various languages in real time by translation software, accurately conveying the meaning.
"That's right, the virtual world is not endless, and there will definitely not be large-scale open development of the virtual world in the future."
As we all know, the future will utilize biological computers, and the development logic of the virtual world is completely different from traditional software programming.
We need to use software that Kechuang Bio specifically developed for the virtual world.
At the same time, it is necessary to use the large-scale biological computer of Kechuang Biotechnology for programming.
Therefore, the development window is limited.
More importantly, if the virtual world is infinite, it will be detrimental to Earth's economy.
Because the virtual world is already very close to the real world in terms of realism.
It is entirely possible to equate assets in the virtual world with assets in the real world.
For example, regarding land supply, if the land supply in the virtual world were unlimited, then the real estate market in the real world would suffer a devastating blow.
Similarly, any software company can develop virtual worlds, expanding virtual assets to an unlimited extent.
Both virtual and real-world assets face the risk of their value dropping to zero.
We hope that everyone can explore more possibilities of life in the virtual world, rather than letting everyone's wealth vanish without generating any value.
People are lost in countless virtual worlds.
Li Miaomiao's logic is also the logic of the executives at Kechuang Biotechnology.
They want virtual world assets to be pegged to a limited amount of BTC, rather than an infinitely distributed amount of shib.
Although the people present were executives of internet companies, they all owned listed companies, and these Chinese internet giants had long been involved in financial business, so they easily understood Li Miaomiao's underlying meaning.
Large companies like Baidu have Du Xiaoman Financial, Alibaba has Ant Financial, and Tencent's financial business is even more extensive.
Mid-sized companies like Weibo, 360, and Zhihu all have financial services, and even Ctrip, a leader in its niche market, has made significant investments in financial services.
From the perspective of internet companies, having their own traffic means being able to attract customers at a low cost, and by combining this with internet technology, they can promote financial products.
With enough traffic, even shit can be packaged as gold and sold.
Even the largest financial institutions will repackage worthless assets as high-quality financial products and sell them to investors.
An example from overseas is the 2008 financial crisis.
Domestically, the most impactful example is the real estate bond crisis that began in 2019, with frequent defaults bringing some securities companies' asset management products down from their pedestal.
The same applies to the large number of local government financing vehicle (LGFV) bonds and local government debt defaults that began in 2025, causing immense suffering for investors.
You had no idea that the so-called principal-protected product you bought, touted by your financial manager, could actually collapse.
The financial advisor was also frustrated, as this was what his superiors had told him: local government debt would absolutely not default.
The professional managers and founders at the meeting quickly realized that everyone present was a competitor.
Li Miaomiao nodded and said, "Currently, the world that Kechuang Bio has opened up is entirely based on the virtual world, and it has no overlap with the real world."
From history and culture to species, everything was designed by Kechuang Biotechnology itself.
According to our internal assessment, we plan to develop three more virtual worlds.
That means there will be a total of five virtual worlds running.
The fantasy world is a single-player world and will not affect the real world; its economic system will not interact with the real world.
