However, even in the stage of weak artificial intelligence, Xiaona's application scenarios have become quite rich. The first is to apply it to the "Virtual Idol" plan. Hatsune Miku's core is part of the original code of Xiaona's intelligent body, which is applied to the virtual concert held by Hatsune Miku, and can achieve interactive communication across dimensions through the virtual singer and fans on the scene.

It was an absolute surprise for fans and eventually turned into considerable commercial value.

The second is the smart voice assistant application of the next generation of Azure mobile phones that Costa delves into development, including the future 5G Internet of Things applications. All electrical equipment will be digitalized. In the application scenarios under smart home life, people only need to control all electronic devices through a smartphone.

Is this very convenient? Yes, it's true, but it's still not convenient enough and it's still very troublesome.

Because you also have to operate your phone.

But if you have an intelligent voice assistant hosting, you will become the best virtual housekeeper, and you can just use fools to tell your phone to turn on and off the lights, sky, TV, etc. to achieve it.

Even though Xiaona is still at a weak level of artificial intelligence, she has no problem in being able to do these tasks.

Fool-style means convenience. The purpose of technological progress is to make everything simplified and convenient. This is an inevitable trend.

Whoever can do this and provide customers with such high-quality solutions can make a fortune.

At this moment, Luo Sheng completed this round of hardware upgrades to Xiaona and connected to the security system of the Science and Technology Complex Building, the building has achieved the initial digital control.

He has already completed other hardware transformations.

Now, Luo Sheng wants to turn on the lights and TVs, he doesn’t need to do it. He just needs to say one thing and just use voice input to Xiaona.

Xiaona's current abilities can achieve huge variety of application scenarios, which means it can bring unimaginable benefits.

...

As time goes by, and October 2008 arrives, another thing has also attracted Luo Sheng to pay close attention, that is, the first WRPO World No. 1 Player Championship is coming as scheduled. This is the first bomb for Bluestar Technology Group to deploy the e-sports industry. The e-sports industry is like a fuse, which will detonate virtual reality games in the future, and virtual reality games require brain-computer interface hardware.

Luo Sheng's layout is all tied up one by one, with big links and small links. People cannot understand why he attaches so much importance to small industries such as e-sports, but they will always understand in the future. When they wake up like a dream, when they look back, they will see that Luo Sheng is already standing in the wind.

The group's e-sports business department has been preparing for more than a year. The WCG World E-sports Competition, which was recognized by the industry, was held in October every year. However, after Luo Sheng entered the e-sports field, the e-sports brand "wpro" suddenly became the top brand in the industry and made its debut at its peak.

In the past, if you ask which event is the most valuable event in the e-sports circle, e-sports practitioners would say wcg without hesitation, but since Luo Sheng made a big move into the e-sports industry, industry insiders have changed their words and changed from wcg to wrpo.

In order to avoid competition conflicts, even if the WCG World E-sports Competition was successfully held for seven consecutive times, it had to avoid its edge. The eighth WCG this year has been adjusted to be held in the summer.

That is to say, the eighth WCG event was held around May this year, and it is still a relatively successful third-party e-sports event. The WRPO business department has not forced other third-party events to the forefront, and has even cooperated. The participation of major e-sports clubs and professional players does not seem to have decreased.

Obviously, this is due to the rules of the WRPO competition. Since the points system is adopted, professional players or teams in the top 16 points lists in major events can be promoted to WRPO. The way to get points is to compete in major divisions. WRPO is divided into Chinese divisions, Korean divisions, European divisions, North American divisions and wild card divisions.

Professional players in the major competition areas play in the competition areas they are in and get points based on the rankings they get. The points source includes official events under the WPro division system, including events operated by major competition events themselves, and third-party competition areas.

The weight ratio is calculated based on the scale and influence of the third-party event.

For example, large third-party events like WCG have cooperated now. Before WRPO appeared, wCG was praised by industry insiders as the Olympic Games in e-sports, and the weight ratio of points was also very high.

The players or teams who won the WCG World Championship will be directly led to the WRPO Top 16, which means they can directly compete for the championship trophy of the "No. 1 Player" in the finals of the year.

The rules of events like wrpo encourage e-sports players to play games, and it is also the foundation for the events in the field of e-sports. Wrpo events are particularly tolerant. This event brand of course replaced the original position and influence of wcg in the field of e-sports, and it was not extorted by wcg.

Luo Sheng is building the entire industry. Only when all major e-sports events bloom in full bloom can the ecology of the overall e-sports industry be developed, and species diversity will make the ecology healthy.

It is best for more and more people to participate. As long as I am the boss, respect me and not the boss, listen to me well. Everyone has meat to eat, and if you don’t listen, you will definitely kill you.

There is no doubt that wrpo is at the top of the food chain in this ecosystem and eats the largest cake, but Luo Sheng is also actively making the cake bigger, and others can also get the cake.

If you don’t make big cakes, someone will definitely go hungry, let alone eat meat together.

Once a system like wpro is established, there will basically be no third-party events that can challenge its position, because the ecosystem has taken shape and the trend has been closed.

From now on, wpro will become an evergreen in the event, and major e-sports projects will continue to be updated and replaced. The current mainstream e-sports projects are undisputed by the projects such as "Starcraft", "Warcraft", and "Half-Life".

However, the lifespan of each e-sports project is closely related to the game it is located in, and its life cycle is basically about ten years.

Often, the game declines and no one plays it, and the e-sports project will decline.

"Starcraft" and "Warcraft" will one day retreat from the mainstream to the niche, but latecomers such as "League of Legends" and "Dota" will carry the banner of e-sports. Similarly, "League of Legends" events will have a life cycle and a day of weakness.

However, if the entire e-sports industry is commercialized well, the life cycle of these events will definitely be extended, and the original ten-year life cycle may last until fifteen years.

Any specific e-sports competition will decline and change with the game no longer popular with players. However, e-sports itself can no longer see any signs of decline and will only become more and more brilliant, accompanied by the scale of the entire industry rising steadily.

Then the wpro brand that is bound to it will not weaken. If it weakens, it will only happen if the entire e-sports industry goes downhill.

Since 2008, a consensus has begun to be formed in e-sports competitions. In various e-sports competitions every year, the biggest purpose of professional players participating in these competitions is to grab wrpo points, and the ultimate goal is to win the wrpo trophy home and win the honor of the number one player of the year.

For an e-sports player, his supreme honor is undoubtedly to be able to enter the WRPO Hall of Fame and leave his name.

...

In October, as the host of the first WRPO World No. 1 Player Competition, its theme elements have been switched to e-sports.

A large number of players rushed to the most modern city in the country from all over the country, and there were also players from all over the world. In order to support their professional players' clubs, these players came to Shencheng.

Just like traditional sports football, basketball and volleyball.

Shencheng also attached great importance to this large-scale e-sports event and actively assisted the event to ensure that the event was successful. The residual heat of the Olympics has just begun to recede, and this large-scale event has a very obvious role in promoting the local economy. During the event, it will drive surrounding consumption, such as hotels, catering, etc.

As long as people come, they will definitely have to spend money.

Although the whole world is now shrouded in the haze of the financial crisis, I still have to live my life and do whatever I need to do.

It is worth mentioning that there is a more interesting rule that oftentimes the economy is in a downturn, the entertainment industry represented by film and television is particularly prosperous at this time.

In October, the first to ignite the global e-sports popularity is the single "ready pyer one" released by the popular rock band Linkin Park on October 3, which is translated as "The No. 1 Player".

That's right, the wrpo event invited the lead singer of Linkin Park. This single is the theme song of the first wrpo competition. According to the planning of the wrpo operator, the theme song of each event will be released in the preheating stage on the eve of the competition in the future.

Once "ready pyer one" was released, MV was also uploaded to the most popular streaming video website Bluestarvideo, which exceeded 2 million views on the bv video website in just one day.

...

WRPO Business Department.

In the conference room, Wang Qiwei, who was sitting in the first place, looked at his subordinates and said solemnly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first wrpo event is the top priority. The group company has tilted a lot of resources. Mr. Luo will also visit the scene on the opening day. There is no need to say too much about how important it is and how much attention it is."

At this moment, there were about a dozen supervisors in major departments such as the Secretariat, Media Department, Event Coordination Department, Logistics Department, Investment and Promotion Department, etc.

For them, everyone is under great pressure. They only have one thought. They complete this activity according to the task indicators, and thank God as long as there is no mistake.

At this time, the head of the investment promotion department said: "In terms of investment promotion, the sponsorship fee of German mechanical keyboard manufacturer Cherry Company has been added with a total sponsorship fee of US$8.2 million. In addition, other sponsors include Samsung Display, Intel, Nvidia, Dell and other 28 well-known manufacturers, sponsors, have added about 20%. The revenue of this year's wrpo in sponsorship reached US$68.9 million. This year's WPro event brand has earned US$100 million in sponsorship fees."

This has to be said that before the WRPO World No. 1 Player Competition, the competitions in major sub-districts were in awe. The sponsors realized the advertising benefits here and then increased their bets and investments. The brand operation department of the WPro event also had bargaining power, so major players added sponsorship fees.

The most typical case is the German mechanical keyboard manufacturer Cherry Company. E-sports has made this dying mechanical keyboard manufacturer Xianyu turn over. Currently, this company is sticking to the mechanical keyboard business around the world. With the end of the WRPO sub-district event, Cherry's mechanical keyboard sales have soared by about 105% in the past two quarters.

Mechanical keyboards meet the goddess of luck in this era - e-sports.

Finally, it has a new vitality. Cherry, which tasted the sweetness, was not stingy with the advertising efficiency of mechanical keyboards in the e-sports field. It not only sponsored the WRPO event brand, but also signed a five-year contract in one go, but also spent a lot of money on celebrity players in major domestic and foreign e-sports clubs and celebrity players.

The sound of the mechanical keyboard Palala is a reflection of the speed of an expert. The hand speed is a reflection of strength in e-sports games. In addition, the cool shape and lighting designs are full of style. Is it true to show it to the Internet cafe with such a set of peripherals on it? Well, this is probably a master, and it has successfully hit the players' g-points.

Then you can also give them the illusion of becoming an e-sports expert after buying a mechanical keyboard.

Pretending to compare is a rigid need of human beings. When and from any field, it will never go out of date. Grasping the force point is indirectly equivalent to grasping the small amount of money.

Anyway, even a chicken must have such a set of equipment, and professional players use mechanical keyboards, so novices with super players’ dreams have also purchased it.

Mechanical keyboards have gradually become unwilling to meet the goddess of luck in e-sports. Manufacturers have seen the benefits and are trying to make mechanical keyboards a subculture fashion that is popular in e-sports.

Of course, the biggest brand among sponsors is undoubtedly a girl.

She is the virtual idol of Blue Star Technology - Hatsune Miku.

Although they are both the same parent company, the brothers still settle the score clearly. Hatsune Miku, the virtual singer brand, is also promoting it now. This time, it has been linked with WRPO and paid US$10 million in the form of sponsors.

This time the WRPO event was linked with Hatsune Miku, and it also appeared in the theme song "ready pyer one". It has a double ponytail, headphones and a brand new costume-style e-sports girl.

E-sports + second-time Yuan + otaku + player + game, etc. These elements have extremely strong linkage attributes. Basically, a little blossom can drive multi-point linkage, and the economic benefits it generates are also amazing.

After all, there is no saying in the circle: a house with one wall, and a house in the capital is a house.

It can be seen that Happy Fatty House has a strong consumption ability. If he is still a gamer, he is still at the fever level and will definitely be eaten tightly.
