Looking at the rows of data displayed on the backend of the website, Yang Lin sighed quietly.

Yang Lin is the founder, manager, and maintainer of a small website called "Inception".

"Inception Geek" is a forum community with VR as the theme. It publishes some news related to VR technology, provides VR device enthusiasts for discussion, and will also share some VR games on various platforms, produce some VR devices, and reviews of VR games...

When Yang Lin founded the website, it was a period when VR technology was soaring, in full swing, and was favored by capital.

It is precisely because he is optimistic about the future development of VR technology that he has overwhelmed all his assets and founded this only VR theme community forum website in China, and is preparing to treat it as his career for his life.

However, due to the lack of relevant technical strength in China, the products produced are often just boxes for mobile phones. Compared with the Vive of Suo Dafa's psvr or ham sausage, it can be said that it has no technical content and its competitiveness is extremely different.

In addition, VR technology is still in its early stages of development and is developing slowly, and the cost of funding to be invested is too huge. There are only a few high-tech companies in the world engaged in the research and development of related technologies. In addition, China does not have enough technology or the soil for development of technology, and even VR games have not been developed.

The investment cycle is long, the rate of return is low, and the competitiveness is weak... The enthusiasm of the capital party is quickly washed away, the popularity of this field cooled down quickly, funds began to tighten, and investment began to tend to become conservative.

Therefore, this hot period lasted only less than a year and soon passed, and the entire domestic VR industry ushered in a cold winter.

A serious VR equipment production company and development company can no longer attract investment, let alone the VR community website as a derivative product.

VR is a niche, with few website traffic, and related manufacturers are poor and difficult to receive advertisements. Yang Lin's "Inception Geek" quickly entered a state of surviving.

"It's not a solution to continue like this..." Yang Lin looked at the bleak data and thought that there was not much money left, so he turned pale.

Or transform? What should I do? No website is easy to do now... Moreover, there are at least a group of loyal users on the website, which have finally attracted a little bit. If I just give up like this, wouldn't it be a pity?

But it is not a solution to hold on like this. Now there is not much money left. Servers need to be rented, websites need to be maintained, and a certain amount of bandwidth needs to be purchased... This is all for money, and you can't receive advertisements. Even if you persist, you can only last for half a year at most.

"Mr. Yang?" Just as Yang Lin was frowning, Xiao Deng, one of his only two employees, stood up and called him.

"What's the matter?" Yang Lin looked up.

"A company here invites us to attend a new product launch conference." Xiao Deng was obviously clumsy and couldn't explain clearly.

"What company? Which one? What product is released? Is it VR?" But Yang Lin was obviously used to it and was not upset.

After looking at the screen again, Xiao Deng continued: "What is Tian'ang Company? It's in Pengcheng. I didn't say anything to publish, but they said they would reimburse round-trip tickets and accommodation fees within 5,000 yuan, and get another red envelope."

"Tian'ang Company?" Yang Lin frowned: "Why does it sound familiar..."

"Boss, you forgot that it was the developer of the "Jianghu Travel" game you played last time. They also made the famous domestic 3a "The Legend of the Anti-Japanese War". " Another employee Xiao Pan hurriedly reminded.

"Oh, I remembered it." Yang Lin also remembered: "It's the domestic stand-alone developer who cooperated with Penguin! They are a big company..."

He touched his chin: "How could they invite us to the head?"

When the concept of domestic VR equipment was the most popular in the past few years, as one of the only VR websites, their "Inception Geek" website naturally participated in several VR equipment launch conferences of domestic manufacturers, and even attracted several advertisements and sponsorships from several manufacturers who were not short of money at the time. But there is no need to mention it over the years, and it is all about tears.

"They are game development companies, and it's very likely they are game launch conferences." The little Pan obviously had a clever mind: "Maybe they want to make VR games?"

"Isn't this true?" Yang Lin frowned: "They are such a big company and have been working with Penguin for many years. How can they do VR games? In this environment, the number of VR devices in China in China is only 30,000 to 40,000. If you do VR games, you will be sure to lose money."

"Then will we go?" Xiao Deng didn't understand what the boss meant.

"When will their press conference start?" Yang Lin asked again.

"April 1st." After a glance at the screen, Xiao Deng's face became strange.

"April 1?" Yang Lin was a little uneasy: "Are they a liar? Which Shabi company will hold a press conference on April 1?"

He waved his hand: "Didn't you say that you will be reimbursed for less than 5,000 yuan? Tell them, call them first and we'll go!"

"Oh, OK!" After saying that, Xiao Deng started to type in front of the computer.

Five minutes later, he raised his head: "Old...boss, they have transferred the money..."

"Not a liar..." Yang Lin touched his beard again: "Then go! Xiao Pan, you go back early today to clean up, and we will set off tomorrow. Xiao Deng, stay and maintain the website."

After all, there are only three people in the company now, so you can't go all the way. Someone still has to stay and stay in the website. Xiao Deng, who is not very versatile, has of course become the only candidate.

"There are several days left on April 1st. We are not far from Pengcheng, so there is no need to go so early, right?" Xiao Pan expressed his different opinions.

"Hey, you know the situation of the website now, it's getting more and more difficult." Yang Lin shrugged and explained: "Someone helped us solve the travel expenses. We happened to go to Pengcheng to try our luck. What if we get advertising sponsorship? There are few people in China who do VR now, but Pengcheng is still some. We come to our doorsteps, so I don't believe that even a single sponsorship can't be obtained."

When the boss became motivated, the employees naturally had to keep up. Early the next morning, the two of them got on the high-speed train and came all the way to Pengcheng.

After finding an ordinary hotel to settle down, the two of them began to work hard to sell advertisements and attract sponsorship.

But it is obvious that this job is not easy. The domestic VR industry is generally sluggish. Many VR manufacturers look for it by address, but find that it has gone bankrupt. Even if it has not gone bankrupt, most of them are still surviving and struggling in a breath. Where can I have spare money to advertise on a website that is not well-known?

After a few days, my skin was tanned and I lost weight, but the two of them still had no grains.
