Gao Siming remembered that when Wang Zihe first brought this gift, he said that there was something even more fun called the Metaverse.
"Old Gao, come on, I'll show you something amazing today!"
Wang Zihe had been waiting for this moment, so at Gao Siming's insistence, he took him to a place called Future Metaverse Company.
Here, Gao Siming witnessed even more realistic virtual reality technology and more advanced virtual equipment. Rows and rows of them—the sheer scale and sophistication were beyond description.
Compared to these virtual interactive gaming devices, the VR glasses that Wang Zihe gave him were utter garbage.
With the help of the staff, Gao Siming put on the new virtual equipment and entered a higher-level virtual universe once again.
A more realistic visual experience, real-time tactile feedback, and a faint yet undeniably present sense of smell.
Gao Siming was once again captivated by this virtual world. Compared to VR glasses, this current device was more realistic and convenient to operate, and the picture quality reached 8K. When all effects were turned on, it was almost indistinguishable from reality.
In addition, this metaverse has already been connected to online communities overseas, allowing players to interact with each other in real time.
The realistic senses and tactile sensations—isn't this just another real world?
"How's it going, Lao Gao?"
Gao Siming, who had just stepped off the mutual inductance equipment, had a fine layer of sweat on his face, and the flush from excitement had not yet faded. He asked excitedly, "Brother, how much is one set of this equipment?"
"Well, come on, I'll take you upstairs so you can talk to the product manager in person!"
A woman in love has zero IQ, and so does a man addicted to games.
When Gao Siming learned that the equipment was in the experimental stage and not for sale, his disappointment was palpable.
The person in charge, Xiao Yang, was a bald man in his early thirties. Looking at Gao Siming's appearance, he explained, "Although it's not for sale, this equipment can currently be used by the company's shareholders and experimental personnel."
Upon hearing this, Gao Siming grasped at a lifeline like a drowning man grabbing a straw, and quickly asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Let's start with the experimental personnel. There's not much to say about them, right? They are our company's technical development personnel. The development process of the equipment requires these technical personnel to experience it firsthand."
Gao Siming said "Oh," confirming that was indeed the case, no doubt about it. "And then, what about the shareholders?"
"The metaverse is, after all, a new product, and both its development and equipment manufacturing represent a considerable expense. Currently, the company is actively recruiting partners, or shareholders, to participate in the development of the metaverse..."
The product manager spent over ten minutes introducing their company, partners, metaverse, and most importantly, return on investment.
Prince He, standing to the side, kept fiddling with a colorful badge on his chest, the words "VIP2" on it particularly eye-catching.
"You said your return on investment is 14%?" Having been in the tea business for several years, Gao Siming, though not a finance major, still had a general understanding of this kind of thing.
"Yes, a minimum of 14, with no upper limit! Mr. Gao, you have personally experienced the charm of the metaverse, do you still doubt its magic?"
Gao Siming glanced at the conspicuous mutual inductance device in the person in charge's office and couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Magic! This treasure truly possesses an irresistible magic!
At this moment, Wang Zihe added fuel to the fire, saying, "Old Gao, I forgot to tell you, I'm now a second-tier shareholder of theirs. Last month, I received over 100,000 yuan in dividends!"
"So many?" Gao Siming was somewhat incredulous.
"I am a secondary shareholder with an investment of 10 million. Last month, the profit margin was 15%, so the dividend was 125,000!"
"Brother Wang, you actually bet so much?"
"Broaden your horizons! Lao Gao, the current economic climate is getting worse and worse, and business is getting harder and harder. You might as well join these emerging sunrise industries sooner rather than later! You need to have the courage to burn your bridges!"
"Okay, I'll think about it when I get back!"
After returning home, Gao Siming spent three days thinking and investigating before finally making a decision!
Within a week, he sold his tea business and milk tea shop, keeping only his lakeside residence.
After all, despite the economic downturn, the housing market remains strong; the house I bought for 288 has now more than doubled in value.
Ultimately, Gao Siming invested 9.98 million yuan to become a second-tier shareholder of Future Universe.
