Chapter 483 He is just a otaku!

Before meeting Chen Dong, Yang Huan had no idea what this guy looked like.

But when I saw him, I recognized him at first sight.

The reason is simple. This guy is dressed exactly the same as yesterday. He looks like a tech geek.

Especially the hairstyle with a slightly Shamatte style is very funny.

But in his own opinion, this hairstyle seems cool, special and very satisfying.

The two met in the senior conference room of the WeChat Research Institute's headquarters office.

In addition to Yang Huan, several core executives of the institute, including Zhuang Zicheng and Palmer Luckey, were also present at the meeting.

This made the meeting feel a bit like an interview.

"I heard that you wanted to see me?" Yang Huan looked at him and asked with a smile.

Chen Dong looked at the strangers around him, swallowed, nodded and said "hmm".

He looked a little uncomfortable.

"If necessary, we can go outside to talk," Yang Huan suggested.

Unexpectedly, Chen Dong shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

"It's okay, I..."

Looking at Yang Huan's encouraging eyes, Chen Dong finally mustered up the courage.

"I want to personally tell you that I'm sorry."

"Why?" Yang Huan felt very strange.

There has to be a reason for apologizing for no reason, right?

Is it really because I'm more handsome?

Chen Dong tilted his head, "Because of what happened yesterday, so..."

"That's not your problem, and..." Yang Huan curled his lips, "I don't take it to heart at all."

But the Shamatte youth looked at Yang Huan stubbornly, "No matter what, I still have to apologize."

"Whatever you want," Yang said with a smile.

If someone asks you to apologize, you can't just refuse to accept it, right?

"Okay, now that you've apologized, let's get down to business, right?"

"Um"

Chen Dong walked to the seat that Zhuang Zicheng pointed to him when he entered the door and sat down.

"I want to know why you say that both of our products are excellent, but are still quite far from success, and that there is something wrong with the direction?" Yang Huan shook a document in his hand.

This records the valuable comments left by many guests who experienced the event on site yesterday.

What everyone values ​​most is Chen Dong's opinion.

Chen Dong was a little timid, "I didn't mean anything else, I just said it a little directly."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Yang Huan also laughed, "It's okay, our company advocates freedom of speech, everyone can speak, just tell us what you think."

Chen Dong took another look at Yang Huan and found that the latter really had no intention of blaming him, and he was certain in his heart.

"I was outside the WeChat exhibition area yesterday. I noticed that among the visitors to the WeChat exhibition area, at least six out of ten people were engaged in the game-related industry, and 80 to 90 percent of the experience groups you invited were developers from the game industry."

Yang Huan, Zhuang Zicheng and everyone present were a little surprised.

Aren’t this guy’s eyes too sharp?

Can you find this?

Just based on this observation ability, Yang Huan doesn't believe that this guy is not a talent.

"Yes, go on," Yang Huan admitted frankly.

"To exaggerate a little, I may be the first person in China to be interested in virtual reality technology and engage in research."

Yang Huan was a little bit skeptical about this.

This guy looks like he's only in his early twenties, how can he be said to be the earliest?

Could it be that he started when he was ten years old?

But, thinking about Zhuang Zicheng, Yang Huan felt that it seemed possible.

"Let's take 3D technology, which is now familiar to everyone, as an example. It took about 15 years for it to mature and become popular. It started with games and then entered other fields such as movies and design."

"So how long will it take for virtual reality and augmented reality to arrive?"

This issue has actually been discussed by senior executives of WeChat Research Institute, and it also appears in the ecosystem planning of WeChat Research Institute, especially in the field of gaming, which has been listed as a top priority.

"Go on." Yang Huan also began to become a little serious.

He discovered that Chen Dong was not the kind of person who spoke nonsense, and what he said had substance.

"I've read some information. Your hardware isn't anything too advanced. In the eyes of some of the world's top companies, it doesn't even have much technical content. It's just that you've seized an opportunity. Once they have time to react and your research and development stagnates, they can catch up anytime and anywhere."

What Chen Dong said was a bit serious, but it was definitely not alarmist.

“Therefore, we must seize the advantage of seizing the initiative and quickly seize the market before other manufacturers have time to react, and the first to bear the brunt is the most critical game market.”

Yang Huan heard this and nodded and smiled, "Well said, continue."

Many people present kept nodding their heads. This guy is quite capable.

"When it comes to games, we have to mention one thing, which is WeChat's biggest weakness."

Chen Dong glanced at everyone before continuing.

"There is no doubt that WeChat is the most profitable game developer in the world. WeChat games and WeChat game platforms are both very profitable projects, especially in the past year, when the number of smartphone users around the world has exploded and the mobile game market has increased fivefold. It is said that the daily revenue of WeChat games alone exceeds 20 million pounds."

When he said this, Chen Dong couldn't help but look at Master Huan again, his eyes full of admiration.

You should know that among Apple’s ten most profitable games, WeChat games occupy eight seats.

That’s 20 million pounds a day, how much is that in a year?

It’s scary just thinking about it.

The creativity and production of these games are all the work of Master Huan.

To be frank, Master Huan is absolutely a god-like figure in the eyes of game enthusiasts all over the world.

Although Master Huan has gradually faded out of game development over the past six months, WeChat Games is snowballing and has become a world-class company in the global gaming field.

Two years ago, everyone was shocked that WeChat games surpassed Nintendo and Blizzard.

But now, the situation is reversed. It would be shocking if it doesn't surpass Nintendo and Blizzard.

As a game enthusiast, Chen Dong also admires Master Huan very much.

"But the biggest weakness and shortcoming of WeChat is that all your games are mobile games, but if you want to promote virtual reality helmets, you must rely on console games and p-games."

When he said this, Chen Dong rarely showed any sense of humor.

"I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to hold a thin and light phone and wear a brick-like virtual reality helmet to play games, right?"

Everyone present was secretly imagining this scene, and they were all amused.

"Well said," Yang Huan nodded continuously.

Chen Dong obviously hadn't finished speaking. After saying thank you to Master Huan for his praise, he continued to express his own opinions.

"At the exhibition, the appearance of virtual reality helmets and augmented reality glasses became the biggest highlight, attracting the attention of almost all enthusiasts around the world. Many media, including authoritative American newspapers, reported on it. This can certainly help WeChat Research Institute become a hit, but there are also risks behind it.

Everyone nodded again.

Crisis is crisis, and where there is crisis there is opportunity.

The attention and brisk bookings at the exhibition are certainly development opportunities, but they also bring risks and challenges.

"In terms of hardware, neither of the two new products has made any significant technological breakthroughs. Although the WeChat Research Institute has applied for patents at many key points, it has not yet formed a strong technical barrier and cannot stop large international companies."

"Especially console game manufacturers like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, they already have a fairly mature ecosystem in the console game field. Once they make efforts in this field, their products will be more competitive. By that time, it will be too late for us to regret."

When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing and looked at Zhuang Zicheng.

"Zicheng, you still underestimated him"

Zhuang Zicheng also nodded, obviously acknowledging his brother-in-law's evaluation of Chen Dong.

"Chen Dong, what do you think we should do?" Yang Huan asked.

Chen Dong ignored the conversation between Yang Huan and Zhuang Zicheng, but thought about it carefully and seriously.

"I feel like there's only one choice now."

"Tell me about it," Yang Huan asked with interest.

"In recent years, the game consoles launched by Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo have obviously provided rich social elements, but these game console manufacturers have done a mess in the social field, but they are unwilling to give up."

"The reason is simple. They know very well that the added value generated by the gaming platform is too amazing, such as the interaction between players. However, this part of the value is taken away by social media for free and has nothing to do with them. So they are unwilling to let the benefits and value they have worked so hard to create be taken away by social media. So even though they know they are doing a bad job, they still have to do it."

"WeChat is best at social networking, and has accumulated amazing popularity and experience in the field of mobile games. It has done an even better job in combining games and social networking. The only thing it lacks is that it does not have its own console and game platform, which is exactly the most necessary element for promoting virtual reality helmets."

"Therefore, WeChat has no choice but to acquire or invest in a game console company or a game platform company, transform it into a home entertainment center with social attributes that can replace PCs, and form its own ecosystem."

After a pause, Chen Dong urged with a sense of crisis: "And you must be quick, time is life."

When Yang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and clapped his hands continuously.

Gradually, Zhuang Zicheng and others also started to applaud.

I have to say, this tech geek is really a talent, he has a very good eye

His words may seem insignificant, but in fact, there are so many experts in WeChat Research Institute, and they have been exploring and preparing for these things for more than half a year.

If he were a senior executive of a company, it wouldn't be surprising.

The strange thing is that he is just a homeboy

This is so subversive.

Chen Dong had not expected that his lengthy speech would be greeted with such applause. Instead, it made him feel a little overwhelmed and he became restless.

When Yang Huan saw him like this, he also found it funny.

This is what a homeboy should be like.

But I have made up my mind that I must try my best to keep this guy.

"Chen Dong, what you said is very good. If I had heard it half a year ago, I would have felt enlightened."

Chen Dong was delighted at first, but soon he was stunned.

Why did I feel like I had an epiphany when I heard it half a year ago?

Don’t you think you have heard it now?

What does this mean?

Chen Dong was a smart man after all, and he quickly realized the problem.

"Master Huan, could it be that you had already thought of this half a year ago? And have you already started planning ahead of time?"

This time his face was full of shock.

Fortunately, he just thought that his ideas were so advanced, and he felt like he was the only one awake while everyone else was asleep.

But now, he found that he was a little too self-righteous.

The WeChat Research Institute has so many talented people and big names, are they just for show?

Can't others think of the problem that I can think of?

Thinking back, what I said just now was just showing off my skills in front of an expert, like showing off my skills in front of Guan Gong.

shame

I am so ashamed.
