Chapter 58: Strategic Partner Microsoft?

What is the source of the transfer? It was a phone call, which was called by Brother Gai Zi personally and invited Wang Huan to visit Microsoft.

Microsoft has always been extremely envious of Wang Huan's Internet business and once wanted to acquire some of its industries, such as Google, but Microsoft could not have grabbed so many chaebols. Ge Gai once lamented that Wang Huan's talent is extremely regrettable that he cannot cooperate with him. This time, the game console incident gave him great inspiration. Instead of withdrawing from the console currently being developed that can tie the most with PS2, it is better to cooperate with Wang Huan. At that time, the standards for game consoles must be decided by him. How can such benefits be let go?

It is not common for Brother Gai Zi to greet guests in person, but this time he made an exception for Wang Huan. For nothing else, Brother Gai Zi has an intuition that Wang Huan can give Microsoft the next chance to take off. More than ten years later, he told this in his memoir, which he called God's hint.

Wang Huan had no good opinions about Ge Gai Zi before, yes! Ge Gai Zi is the richest man in the world and a philanthropist. He did some good things, but Microsoft's methods are not too bright, and at least they are not a kind person. However, after contacting him for a while, he found that the other party was still easy to talk to. They did not talk about any commercial issues, but were discussing culture. Ge Gai Zi actually read a lot of books about Taoism and Confucianism, and his words were very pleasing to Wang Huan.

"There is no absolute justice and evil in this world, it depends on how to understand it. Cooperation with Microsoft is undoubtedly the simplest and smooth road. I just don't know what the price to pay to walk on this road. But at worst, I can build the road by myself. Anyway, I am still young. With the fortress of brain wave technology, I want to see how long I can last. I am not Trass, and I have advanced technology but cannot use it." Wang Huan secretly considered that he could already deal with people from the upper class of this world. Because he is near this circle, he only needs one opportunity to be among them, and this time it is obviously an opportunity.

After the visit, there was nothing wrong with the teams of both sides, but the two big bosses needed to communicate well. Only after they communicated and became intentional. Then it was time for these elites to negotiate and confront each other.

"Wang, I have been talking about the concept of data nervous system. In the future, computers will definitely imitate the nerves of the human brain. Only the human brain is a real computer. Humans just don't exert all the power of the brain. A person who can exerts the power of their brain is God."

Brother Gai Zi's words were full of fanaticism, but Wang Huan really didn't expect that this uncle was really a technical maniac. He was indeed thinking about the future computer in his mind. It was obvious that the brain wave system brought him a surprise. It was very likely that his company was secretly developing such things. If it did not show it in the future, it was either not mature enough or making technical reserves.

"Can you tell me, can your brainwave technology be applied to ordinary PCs?" Brother Gai Zi asked the key point. If this brainwave technology is mature enough to completely replace external input devices such as keyboards and mice, it will be a revolutionary development in the computer world.

"No! At least it cannot be done now, at most, it can only replace the mouse. And the limitations of brain wave technology are also present, that is, if you have to be extremely tired for a long time, for example, more than ten hours, there is a risk of excessive use of the brain, and if the world grows up, you will be extremely tired and want to rest."

Wang Huan and Li Mingyu discussed that in order to slowly over-technology, he designed the limit of the first-generation brain wave standard and completely replaced the mouse and keyboard. How many factories' jobs should be spent? At least they have to wait for them to develop to a sufficient scale and then authorize production. Otherwise, the most advanced brain wave acceptance and output equipment is only as big as Bluetooth headphones. It can accept and emit brain waves within a thousand meters, and can output all brain commands and process dozens of commands at the same time, and perfectly achieve the corresponding effect of brain waves that you wish for. That is a revolutionary progress.

Brother Gai Zi was not too disappointed. It was an amazing breakthrough to be able to develop a mature commercially used brain wave output device. It would be inevitable that it would become a necessary device for computers in the future to replace peripheral output devices.

Wang Huan saw that XBOX, which is currently under development, will be released next year as the second-generation standard console. Although it is very good, it is still technically awesome! Sony's PS2 is sold worldwide this year, which makes people jealous. Microsoft has the intention of entering this market, but it has not been very sure. Isn't it a feeling of being more powerful when seeing the brainwave remote sensing system now?

Brother Gai Zi was interested, and Wang Huan naturally hit it off, but the specific negotiations were very serious. How big is the market in the future? No one knows, but there is no doubt that Microsoft wants to get enough profit sharing, but Wang Huan, the other three people don’t want to give up so much profit. They just want to agree to cooperate in the remote sensing control of game consoles. As for the benefits of brainwave control on other home appliances such as computers and mobile phones, they do not intend to let Microsoft intervene.

"Is it very low to get a 30% share of one billion US dollars? Don't be insatiable!" Microsoft said gritting its teeth.

"One billion US dollars can only get 50% of the share of the game console." Super Sensation Company is even more fierce, just wanting to make money by nothing.

The two sides were just tug-of-war, but Wang Huan and Ge Qi attended charity parties together with smiles, and the media also reported on the cooperation between Microsoft and Super Sense Company. This is Microsoft! One of the American giants! A symbol of high-tech companies. In terms of popularity, IMB and Intel are both weak. KFC and McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Pepsi are comparable to their fame. Ge Qi is even more famous. How many people know the name of KFC, McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Pepsi?

"Dear King! Do you want equity swaps?" Brother Gai Zi calmly talked to Wang Huan about the current negotiation progress at the famous charity party, and put forward a very touching condition for the other party's approach of stinging on the entire market of brainwave control devices.

"I think this idea is good. But it seems that you can't take out most of the stocks to exchange?" Wang Huan said that it seems that you, Bill Jun, have already reduced Microsoft's stocks, but he forgot that the other party still has a lot of stocks at present. It seems that Brother Gai has long planned to reduce the Microsoft stocks in his hands. It is worth it to him to take out some of them to exchange with the Super Sensor Company. His brain wave technology has rekindled the passion for technical research.

Wang Huan was not particularly excited about this. At present, the appreciation of all his stocks is no less than the other party’s net worth. 60 billion? Or 70 billion? Anyway, money is purely a number for him. Like Brother Gai Zi, he also feels that brainwave technology will usher in a new era, and such temptation makes them unable to resist.

During this period, the reporters of Financial Magazine made guest appearances in paparazzi. Microsoft, whether it is the Super Scientific Company or every employee who may get the news was harassed by them, so the outside world also knew that the cooperation between the two sides was still in negotiations. They originally thought they could be lively for a few months. As a result, Microsoft and Super Scientific Company held a joint press conference.

When Wang Huan used the endless flash of the huge killer in the audience, Wang Huan announced that Chaos Company would use 49% of its shares to exchange shares with Microsoft, and the two parties cooperated to launch cross-age standard game consoles, which are known as the next-generation console that ends all handles.

The next generation comes from Japanese, meaning works from the future era. Although it is impossible to enter the future console era of high-quality and high-quality graphics at one time, the operation method is indeed a console that can only appear in the future.

This time, it was not only Sony's family that panicked, but Japan's entire world was panicked. Everyone knew that Microsoft was rich and powerful. If it were combined with this legendary killing weapon, it would be awesome!

Whether it is Sony or Nintendo, they are panicked, especially the console Nintendo is developing has to follow the somatosensory operation route, but the killer controlled by brain waves is not comparable to that of somatosensory games. At that time, even if it is launched, the market response will probably not be too high, let alone revolutionary.

Wang Huan has already put forward opinions to Microsoft. He requires that somatosensory devices be added when designing the next generation host with a brain wave device. Whether it is simple brain wave control or wanting to feel somatosensory operations, it is a good choice. This is clearly to seize the Nintendo market.

Wang Huan doesn't feel a loss at all, because their background in the development of game consoles is not ordinary. There is really no highlight except for a brain wave control system. Microsoft has been burning for so long with wealth. Once it is integrated with this genius technology, it is like a robot. Super Sensor Company shouts me to form the head, and then Microsoft shouts me to form the body. In this way, Super Sensor Box appears. Although Wang Huan is very dissatisfied with this name, Super Sensor Box is already him.

The best name can be accepted. Who makes both parties want to give up on each other's names? Anyway, the name of the Super Box is the Super Box. It sounds very ****, right?

However, for the brainwave control system, Microsoft and Super Sensation Company need more effort. Many of the original things need to be cancelled and changed, and even urgently modified games in the new operating mode with software suppliers. Of course, it doesn't take too much time to change them. Although these games are not specially developed for brainwave operations, they can also show their charm. Especially CS, Diablo and Hero Invincible are unexpected gifts. Microsoft also said that this cooperation only makes no losses. It is a wonderful thing to be able to cooperate with Blizzard. Why? The help from Blizzard to Microsoft's Halo game made them very satisfied. Moreover, Wang Huan has also brought out several casual games, including Plants vs. Zombies, Dance Heaven, Angry Birds, etc. The software lineup as the game console has suddenly become much stronger.

Hayes's joining made Ge Zi shout that he made a profit. He never expected that the shareholder of the Super Sense Company's strength in hardware was superhuman. As a black man, he fully showed a mind with the same muscles and mass as his body. A big guy with great wisdom is simply the most perfect description of him. With his help, they optimistically expected to be released in early 2001. Although it was the latest to release the console in the same era, they believed that such consoles that completely surpassed Sony and Nintendo would undoubtedly dominate the world.

What surprised Brother Gai Zi the most was that Hayes discovered a big bug in their BOX in a short time, that is, the DVD and CD that were run on the console would be scratched by the optical drive. It can be imagined that the explosion will have an impact on its release when it is released in the future. Especially for Japanese players who are picky and hate flaws, this is even more of a disaster. Brother Gai Zi even shouted that Hayes alone is worth half of the value of this cooperation.

But Li Mingyu quickly gave him a huge surprise. As a software genius, the platform system and community system he specially developed for this console are amazingly powerful and have a strong interest. Even if players don’t play games, they will not help but communicate in this community. What’s more, he also led the software development team to solve multiple problems. The game development team he led not only greatly increased the speed of its game development projects, but also allowed them to see the huge potential and charm of the game King of Fighting.

Even Zhang Botao brought a surprise to Brother Gaizi. This guy has very talented sales ability, and he proposed multiple promotion plans that are all first-class.

If you count the game plan that Wang Huan made in one breath, such as God of War, Assassin's Creed, Angel Hunter, etc., Brother Gai was holding his head and felt that Microsoft had gained a big advantage in this cooperation. Why did he feel that Microsoft had dug up some Solomon treasure? And it was the type that was constantly emerging. If you think about it like this, those billions of US dollars investment and 25% of the shares would not be very depressed.

Wang Huan is considering whether the improvement of the brainwave control system on the next generation of game consoles should be increased to support more complex games. The next generation will drive Sony and Nintendo out of this market, but I believe the other party will struggle to death. However, if there is a complete monopoly, he will no longer consider whether there will be trouble. The world is clamoring to anti-monopoly, but it is still inevitable, otherwise Microsoft would have been split long ago.

In early 2001, Microsoft was very excited. They couldn't wait. The advertising that had been published long ago made players around the world look forward to the birth of this epoch-making host. You should know that Microsoft has made the determination to occupy the market if it is not for the emergence of brain wave control systems, they would have done this, losing one billion US dollars a year. Bill Children's Shoes are for the market, and billions are for playing again. This patience is enough to make all opponents frightened.

However, the price is 399 US dollars, even the wealthy European and American players feel that the anus is tight and painful, which is 100 US dollars more expensive than the PS2! Although it is because of the brain wave remote sensing control system, the two words are still very expensive!

You should know that in order to buy and wait for this epoch-making console, countless fanatical home console game fans are saving money. Although they don’t sell kidneys or something, saving money is by no means new. For this reason, Sony’s PS2 sales have been greatly reduced, not to mention Sega Saturn and Nintendo’s Gamecube are even more complaining. Wang Huan has the crazy feeling when Apple launched the iPhone. Once the charm of high-tech products appears, it will be unstoppable!

The first midnight sale event in New York and San Francisco was proposed by Zhang Botao. Wang Huan and Guy Brother joined forces to play a game of King of Fighting, and then held the King of Fighting Challenge on site. The top ten players can get free Super Sense Box and various rewards. For example, the champion can get any game released by Super Sense Box within a year for free, and get a series of exquisite commemorative products, which are all good things that are cheap but very happy for players.

Wang Huan and Gai Zi Ge are in New York and San Francisco respectively. Gai Zi Ge is in New York Square, and Wang Huan appears in San Francisco. The two will conduct a fighting competition controlled by brain waves through the Internet.

There are dozens of media outlets around the world who broadcast live interviews, including CCTV, which has been reported. After all, Wang Huan is their pride! If they don’t know about live broadcasts, they will be fools.

Players have known many video images of the game King of Fighting, but the picture of a few minutes is too short. This time they truly understand what is the strongest concept of a fighting game in history.

In three games, two wins, both sides can choose the plot character PK in the first game, and they can't help but hide the plot character. This option can only be enabled if the players agree with each other in the battle. At present, only the masters who are sure to have the cultivation of Huajin can be among them. Bodhidharma, Zhang Sanfeng, and Sun Lutang are all among them. Wang Huan was still hesitating whether Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan should join too. After all, from the books, the other party also has the cultivation of Huajin. Later, in order to give players a sense of substitution, they still did not join. However, it is obvious that these are the strongest combat power among ordinary plot characters, but the operation requirements are also the highest.

Of course, Brother Gai Zi knew the power of the three hidden plot characters. He had played them many times in private. Out of promoting Shaolin martial arts, he chose Master Bodhidharma without hesitation. In order to conform to history, the most typical monk Bodhidharma is the clothes of Indians and ancient Indian Buddhism. Wang Huan did not choose Zhang Sanfeng but chose Sun Lutang, the world's first-hand tiger-headed young master in modern martial arts.
