Chapter 453 That's directed at all of us!
On the other side,
The top floor conference room of Tengqu Building.
The lights were bright and the air was filled with smoke.
Mr. Ma sat in the main seat without saying a word.
Several game company bosses were sitting next to him.
There are also several representatives from investment institutions, managers of game labels, etc.
It can be said that these people make up the majority of domestic game manufacturers.
Before yesterday, these people were still talking and laughing.
But today, everyone's face was livid.
This meeting was organized by President Ma at the last minute.
It has been several hours since 4:30 in the afternoon until now at 9:00 in the evening, and no one has left.
No one knows what else to say except swearing.
"Fuck, this is too personal, isn't it?"
A sturdy boss dropped a bottle of mineral water.
"We just had a meeting a few days ago about developing extended projection content, and Whale Leap just threw the entire virtual cabin ecosystem at me?!"
Someone beside him immediately objected.
"So, just as you finished your PPT, they've already opened an experience center downstairs from your house?"
"That's not directed at you, that's directed at all of us!"
"The key is that this is too fast!"
"It's so fast! I can't even imagine it!"
"Yeah, our company's stock price has plummeted!"
"It's funny, didn't everyone here fall a little bit?"
Several people blushed after reading the newly uploaded financial headlines:
[Tencent Games was hit by the Jingyue press conference, and its market value evaporated by hundreds of billions overnight]
[Stock prices of several leading companies fell, and funds for immersive projects withdrew collectively]
【……】
Beside them, the person in charge of the Blue Fish Game looked at the dejected crowd.
Finally spoke,
"It's not a good idea to just sit there all the time!"
"What do you think? Should we...fight back?"
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience fell silent.
Then, everyone looked at him with complicated expressions.
"How to fight back?"
"You're developing an immersion chamber now? Two years to get started, three years for mass production, and five years for deployment? Can you do it?"
"You're going to create immersive content now? Whale Leap has already tied up all the resources! Can you still compete with them?"
"You're investing money in a platform now? Sorry, everyone has registered on their platform, and our version of the agreement doesn't even have the supporting documentation."
"If you have Yu, why have Liang?"
"One step ahead means every step ahead!"
The boss of Qingyu Game's face turned pale and blue.
"So we're just going to do nothing?"
"Are we just going to watch them eat all the food?"
"We've worked hard on this game for ten years, and we've painstakingly built up a platform user base, and now they're gone just like that?"
A young man sitting opposite sighed.
He is the manager of a well-known independent label and is known for his radical thinking and product innovation.
But now he could only shrug.
“Don’t even mention the platform users.”
"Now even many game developers are almost no longer ours."
"I have four partners who were originally planning to launch several IP collaborations this year, and now they are all trying to figure out how to integrate with Whale Fall."
"How do we keep people here?"
The meeting room was silent for a while.
Someone whispered:
"Then...how about we apply for access as well?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and then looked subtle.
"Are you serious?"
"Doesn't that count as surrender?"
"It's not surrender..." The man looked embarrassed.
"Just... go with the flow."
"I looked around today, and it's no exaggeration to say that Whale Leap currently has support from above!"
"Let's keep fighting, but we're only hitting ourselves in the face."
"The only thing we can do now is to turn around quickly."
"If you can't beat them, join them!"
There was a murmur of discussion at the conference table.
Five minutes later, everyone's expression changed.
There was a murmur of discussion at the conference table.
Five minutes later, everyone's expression changed.
From being entangled, to... accepting one's fate.
I even started planning the process of "visiting whale leaping".
"Shall we form a group?"
"Boss Ma is taking the lead..."
"Let's go and take a look together, so we don't lose face!"
"After all, if we don't take advantage now, it won't be our turn in half a year."
"Yes! How many millions is your face worth?"
"Whoever kneels first will make money first!"
“…”
Looking at the discussion among the crowd, Mr. Ma finally spoke up.
His voice was not loud, but clearer than ever.
“…Alright.”
"I heard everything you said."
He glanced around at the familiar faces in the conference room.
These people have emerged from more than ten years of competition.
In the past, in so many scenes, I have never seen them so flustered.
However, he had never seen such a thing as whale fall!
Therefore, he immediately found these colleagues to discuss countermeasures.
However, in the face of absolute leadership,
They discussed for so long,
There is no way at all!
Mr. Ma sighed softly.
"I admit it."
"This time...we are indeed behind."
"Whale Leap's move completely disrupts our current situation!"
"To be honest, I already take them very seriously!"
"But the other party is really exaggerating!"
"We can't defend against Whale Leap's attack."
"We have absolutely no way to deal with the iteration and impact brought about by this technological revolution!"
"Now, they have launched a virtual game cabin + content ecosystem + technology platform + industry open standards."
"Even if we try to catch up, it will be difficult!"
“Attention is everything!”
"I can even exaggerate and say that the last chance is now before us. We must think about whether this is the only chance Whale Leap has left for us!"
He glanced at the whole audience and spoke faster:
“We learn what we should learn.”
"We should bow our heads when we should."
"It's not shameful."
"If we don't even dare to change our direction and lose face, then we will lose in the second half of this year, next year, and the year after."
"Even though we are behind now, we are not useless."
“Everyone here has background!”
"Everyone was just knocked unconscious by Jingyue's sudden blow!"
"Honestly, the virtual game cabin market is so huge, it's impossible for Jingyue to be the only one to have a monopoly."
"Look for yourself. In their press conference, Whale Leap talked about developer access, cultural tourism integration, educational applications, and the experience center ecosystem. But they haven't yet discussed...how to distribute the game ecosystem, how to quantify development standards, how to integrate advertising, how to manage user behavior, how to establish content ratings, and how to achieve cross-platform integration."
"Someone has to make up for these things."
“You can never finish whale leaping!”
“We are starting to prepare now and apply for Whale Fall’s open access program.”
"We formed a joint project team, bringing in the technical, content, operations, and legal teams, to organize our immersive content resources overnight."
"We went to Jingyue as a group for an inspection. We went openly and without shame or shyness."
“…”
After Mr. Ma finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Since Mr. Ma has taken the lead in saying this, they have no objections.
After all, following behind,
It's better than spinning in circles.
When the meeting was over, Mr. Ma stood by the window.
“Whale Leap is a pioneer.”
"Then we..."
He murmured.
"Just be a latecomer who wakes up early."
