Chapter 250: Packing and shipping back to China
"What's the problem?"
Yang Huan looked at Zhang Ning on the screen strangely.
Although it was through the display screen, she was still as beautiful as ever.
Although he is gentle and affectionate in private, Zhang Ning is very serious and even a little cold and arrogant in front of others.
If she behaves the same in public as she does in private, how can she manage a company?
"Master Huan, the technology and equipment of virtual reality helmets are still far from mature. At the very least, the price of the equipment must be reduced to the level of consumer electronics before it can be sold."
Yang Huan nodded, "I know."
Everyone present also knew it.
Even Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Larch understood that she was right.
"Then don't you think it's a bit too hasty to invest so much time and energy into developing these now?"
Yang Huan understood Zhang Ning's thoughts. She was worried about what would happen if the virtual reality helmet was not successful.
But Yang Huan knows better than anyone that this direction has great potential.
Even if your thing doesn't succeed, others' will definitely succeed.
By 2014, virtual reality technology had become commercially available in many fields.
"I don't think we are rushing it, on the contrary, I think we are a little late!"
Yang Huan was very confident and certain when he said this.
"Virtual reality technology, or augmented reality technology, the future development of these two fields will definitely tend to be integrated. There is no doubt about this. It will be a brand-new technological platform in the future. There is no doubt about that."
"As for the equipment, it may look like a brick now, black and hard, but if we continue to research in this direction, I believe that it won't be long before it can be made smaller, thinner and cheaper, and eventually become like our glasses."
"Because...I said it!"
If anyone else said this, they would definitely be drowned in saliva.
But he is Yang Huan.
He might not dare to say it in other places, but in this company, even if he says **** smells good, everyone will believe it.
The reason is simple. Over the past year, everyone knew that without Yang Huan, there would be no company.
In this company, anyone can be missing except Master Huan.
Everyone nodded immediately.
Since Young Master Huan said it is the technology platform of the future, there is no need to say more.
Besides, Master Huan is right. The technology needs to be further improved and matured, and the equipment needs to be made smaller, thinner and cheaper.
This is a major trend.
"So, I decided to invest more in the research and development of virtual reality technology and equipment, to recruit talents, and to acquire technology and patents."
Yang Huan’s view has not changed: talent and technology are the most important.
As for money, if you lose it, you can earn it again.
For a time traveler like Master Huan who is not short of money, money comes too easily.
Didn’t you see how much money was invested in collecting Bitcoin back then, and how much it has increased now?
I made a fortune instantly!
"Zicheng, Palmer, what do you think?"
Zhuang Zicheng nodded and said, "I agree with Master Huan's prediction. Virtual reality and augmented reality are two different technologies, but the trend of integration in the future is very obvious. After all, there are too many overlaps. As for the future of these two technologies, I also strongly support them."
Palmer Larch is still very young, but his face is full of excitement.
It was as if a thousand-mile horse had met its master, and they were both very happy.
"Master Huan, if you want to recruit talents, I know a lot of great people on the Internet, including John Carmack, Brandon Iribe, Mike Antonov and others. They are all very interested in this research, especially Mike Antonov, who is very good at software development."
"Also, I think we can sponsor the research of Professor Jeremy Bailenson at Stanford University. He founded the Virtual Interaction Lab at Stanford University. He is an expert in this area, and we can invite him and his research team to join us."
Yang Huan nodded.
These names were all unfamiliar to him, but he looked at Zhuang Zicheng, who kept nodding.
It seems that they should all be technical experts in this field.
Our Young Master Huan has no other advantages except that he attaches great importance to technology and talents.
"No problem, let's dig!" Yang Huan made the decision without hesitation.
Palmer Luckey laughed excitedly. "I recently heard that a startup company in the United States is applying for a series of patents. They are planning to develop a lens that can project images directly onto the retina, superimposing holographic images with retinal resolution, making it impossible to distinguish between the real world and the virtual world."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhuang Zicheng knew that Brother Huan didn't understand the in-depth things, and even many people present didn't understand them either, so he immediately gave additional explanations.
“To put it simply, it is augmented reality technology. Through an algorithm and the capture of human eye focus, the virtual reality experience becomes more immersive, making virtual objects indistinguishable from the real world.”
Yang Huan understood that, after all, it was still a trick to deceive people.
But if this trick really works, wouldn’t it be an upgraded version of Google smart glasses?
If it's really that awesome, it would be well worth the investment.
Before Yang Huan traveled through time, Google's smart glasses were already considered extremely high-tech.
If we really make smart glasses that are even better than this, then there’s no doubt about it, they’re absolutely awesome!
"Master Huan, I think we should invest," Palmer Larch suggested.
As far as he knew, the other party was indeed trying to solicit investment.
"invest?"
Palmer Larch was stunned, thinking that Master Huan didn't want to invest.
"Yes, Master Huan, I think we should invest, and it doesn't need to be a lot, just a few million dollars."
"No, no, no!" Yang Huan kept shaking his head.
Palmer Luckey was a little anxious. He was indeed very optimistic about this company.
"I don't want the investment. I'll ask Zhao Yuanfang to go back and you guys can accompany him to the United States and buy it for me!"
"Acquisition?" Palmer Luckey was dumbfounded.
"Yes, I don't like investing, I like acquisitions. Just acquire it for me, and pack it up and ship it back to China from top to bottom!"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Master Huan is still as domineering and majestic as ever!
Still so wealthy!
This is a brilliant statement, as it treats those involved in high-tech research and development as commodities.
For him, buying a high-tech company is as easy as shopping on Amazon.
It was also packaged and shipped back to China!
This is the embodiment of Master Huan's patriotism. He always thinks of the motherland first in everything!
"What? You're all looking at me like that. What's the problem?"
Everyone suddenly came to their senses and shook their heads.
Looking at people like that, even someone as thick-skinned as Young Master Huan would find it a little overwhelming. It's really rude.
"Palmer, what do you think?" Yang Huan asked again.
Palmer Larch groaned twice, "Of course, acquisition is better, but the acquisition price may not be low. Also, in terms of employee treatment, asking them to come all the way to China may be..."
"That's easy. Let's negotiate the purchase price. Is 100 million pounds enough?"
Zhang Ning rolled his eyes.
My young master, I know you have a lot of money, is it necessary to do this?
With 100 million pounds, what you acquire is not a startup at all, you can acquire a medium-sized enterprise.
"No, no, it's probably only 20 or 30 million, and no more than 50 million at most."
Finally, he quickly added, "US dollars."
Everyone knows that Master Huan is in the UK, and when talking about money now, it is all in pounds.
No one likes to mention the Euro because it's losing value!
"That's easy, just take it!" Yang Huan made the decision on the spot.
"As for those who are willing to work in China, their salary and bonus will be doubled. If they are technical experts, they will be tripled!"
Everyone gasped immediately.
What a generous move, Master Huan!
This made them all want to run back to China as soon as possible.
"As for Professor Bailenson, we also sponsored his research and invited him and his research team to work in our company."
Every word Yang Huan threw out was money in the eyes of others.
When Zhuang Zicheng saw that Young Master Huan was enjoying spending money, he suddenly had an idea.
"Brother Huan, why don't we just acquire Leapmotion, an American startup that does somatosensory technology? Their somatosensory devices are nothing special, but their software algorithms are unique. Acquiring them will be like providing hands for our virtual reality helmets."
Yang Huan thought it made sense when he heard it.
It would be too much of a hassle to wear a virtual reality helmet and use a keyboard and remote control.
At least it has to have a sense of individuality to appear more classy!
"Okay, you can buy it by the way!" Yang Huan said with great wealth.
"In addition, I will invest another 100 million pounds. You guys should show me the results right away!"
Not only Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Larch, who were the first to bear the brunt of the attack, but everyone present also deeply felt Yang Huan's courage and the sense of urgency revealed in his words.
But as the person involved, Yang Huan thought about it in his mind after saying these words.
"Well, that's about it. I've spent all my money and have no more money in my pocket. I can finally feel more at ease!"
Yang Huan's words almost made everyone present fall down.
Others get anxious when they have no money in their pockets, but our Master Huan feels uneasy when he has money.
Comparing this person to others is really infuriating.
Are all rich people like Master Huan, so willful?

After the high-level meeting of WeChat company, Yang Huan specially kept Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin.
The main reason we kept them here is that we hope they can prepare well.
Today Javi Martinez arrived.
Tomorrow, the Spaniard will hold a press conference on WeChat.
With the experience of several previous press conferences, Yang Huan believed that the problem was not serious.
The key is Drogba's press conference next.
"Latin America, Africa and Europe have always been our focus!"
In Asia, WeChat is the undisputed leader, ranking first in the same field in China, Japan, South Korea and other countries. It is even gradually catching up with Facebook and Twitter in terms of the number of users, and its development momentum is very strong.
In Latin America, thanks to the endorsements of stars such as Neymar, Vidal, James Rodriguez and the sensation it has created, plus the fact that it is free, WeChat has also developed quite well, with the number of users rising steadily.
The only market is Africa.
There was a Benatia before, but his influence was limited.
But now it is Drogba, the most famous superstar in Africa.
If Yang Huan doesn't seize this opportunity and build up some momentum in Africa, he will suffer a huge loss.
"After signing Drogba this time, we have to actively develop the African market. Therefore, this press conference needs to be more publicized. We need to create more momentum in Africa and do more publicity and promotion. Don't save money for me. We need to do whatever works best!"
"I want everyone on the African continent who knows Drogba to know about it and even use our WeChat!"
Zhu Liangcheng and Wang Lin nodded in agreement, "Understood, Master Huan."
After arranging things here, Yang Huan went to the company to look around.
After finishing filming Love Is Not Blind, Yoona went straight to Korea to shoot a commercial. She will also go to the United States later. It seems she will be busy.
Psy is also not idle. He has received many advertisements and activities, and he is not in Southampton either.
Yang Huan was wandering around the building, and with nothing to do, he decided to go back to the Staplewood training base to take a look.
As soon as I entered the door and parked the car, I saw Charlene Lahiri's car next to me.
"Wow, this girl is really a thief. What is she doing here without making any noise?"
As soon as this doubt surfaced, Yang Huan guessed it.
That girl was very clever, but as soon as she lifted her butt, Yang Huan knew what she was going to do.
"He must be here to interview Javi Martinez and follow up on the report!"
Just imagine, this will definitely be the front page headline of all newspapers tomorrow.
Spanish international, how could you not make the headlines?
It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Yang Huan remembered that this girl still owed him something.
"We have to hurry and get it back!"
So, Yang Huan strode into the new training base.
