In the afternoon, Chen Xu received another call from Luo Xiyun asking him to come over.
He said helplessly, "It seems that this data center is naturally impossible to go to today."
The data center occupies a very important position in his future career map. The future will be the era of cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Whoever has the largest storage space, the strongest computing power, and the fastest network will win the competition.
Many of the technologies he wants to develop in the future depend on artificial intelligence, or computing power, to be precise. Compared with the high cost of supercomputers, it is still cost-effective to build a data center, and the idle space can be rented out to subsidize part of the expenditure.
During this time, most of his energy was put on the construction of the data center. He took out the whole construction plan, and he had to watch it himself.
Chen Xu came to Yunxu's company, but Luo Xiyun was not there. An employee said she was next door.
Next door are Yunxu's two subsidiaries, one makes VR games and the other makes VR videos. Luo Xiyun acted very quickly. As soon as he came back from the electronics exhibition, he split the two departments in order to better promote the two businesses.
Luo Xiyun was at the vr video company. He walked over and saw a group of people gathered there.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Mr. Chen." The employees shouted one after another.
Luo Xiyun was standing in the middle, fiddling with a machine, seeing him coming, said happily, "Look, the VR camera is finally made."
"It moves very fast." Chen Xu was a little surprised. He walked over and looked at the machine. It was very different from ordinary cameras. It was larger and supported by a bracket underneath. The most peculiar thing was that it There are three lenses in total.
The camera is assembled at first glance, and it is quite rough.
This thing has a high technical content, and the most difficult thing is the algorithm. The principle is to capture pictures from different angles through three lenses, and then convert them into three-dimensional pictures through special algorithms. That's what you see in VR glasses.
He didn't expect that Luo Xiyun could really do it. After all, the algorithm is quite complicated, if he can't get through the playback function, he will definitely not be able to restore it all.
Luo Xiyun took a pair of glasses and said, "I just recorded this, what do you think?"
Chen Xu put on the glasses, turned on the phone, clicked on the video inside, and saw Luo Xiyun's image appeared in front of his eyes. From his eyes, it was somewhat different from her. But it's not a big problem, and only someone like him who is very familiar with her can see it.
"Not bad." He took off his glasses and said sincerely, "Congratulations, with the camera, you can solve the problem of VR content."
Luo Xiyun was somewhat regretful, "However, this machine is still not perfect. More data is needed to continuously adjust the algorithm."
"It's pretty good to be able to do this." Chen Xu said, "The most important thing now is to increase the content of VR. Only with the content can the glasses be sold."
Luo Xiyun also understood this truth, nodded, and said, "I'm already looking for a director, and I'm going to shoot a short film to test the waters and see how it works."
Two words, still burning money.
However, this is a necessary expenditure in the early stage. When the sales volume of the Future Vision Generation reaches a certain level, it will be easy to earn the money back.
Chen Xu changed the subject, "How about the game?"
Xuyun Company is moving faster in the field of games. The 3D game engine based on vr games has already been produced. So far, three small games have been produced.
As for large-scale games comparable to triple-A productions, it's still early. It is estimated that the best PCs on the market can run them. Not to mention the need for a development team.
When it came to the content of the game, Luo Xiyun finally felt a little happier, and said, "Many game development teams have contacted us in the past few days. They are now negotiating, and several of them have already expressed the intention of cooperation."
Professional things are best left to professional people. The development of the game must be handed over to a professional game development team. The most ideal state is that Yunxu company only provides technical support and makes the vr glasses into a platform.
If there is really no game development team willing to cooperate, then Yunxu Company can only do it by itself.
Compared with the hard work of video content, the inherent conditions of the game are indeed better. Anyone with insight knows that VR is one of the future development directions of games.
...
Chen Xu and Luo Xiyun returned to her office.
"When will your data center be finished?" she asked.
"It will take eight months at the earliest." Chen Xu said.
Luo Xiyun adjusted some plans in her mind, and then said another thing, "A venture capitalist approached me yesterday, wanting to take a stake."
Chen Xu asked curiously, "How much is the asking price?"
"100 million rice gold, 30% of the shares."
Chen Xu smiled, "This is the lion's big mouth."
Yunxu Company has spent hundreds of millions of dollars, plus the 500 million borrowed by Luo Xiyun and invested by Chen Xu, the value here is more than a billion. The product has been made, and its performance is obvious to all, so it is estimated at more than two billion. , Too contemptuous of people.
This first generation of VR glasses also has a lot of black technology, the chip is one, and its wireless transmission technology.
There is a wireless connection between the glasses and the host. Not using bluetooth. It is a brand-new wireless transmission technology with higher transmission rate, no delay, stable connection, and the maximum connection distance is 50 meters.
These two technical patents alone are worth a lot of money.
Luo Xiyun said, "I will not introduce venture capital until the funds on hand are exhausted."
"By then, I don't think there will be any need for venture capital funds." Chen Xu is very confident about the Future Vision generation. Games are a huge market. It is precisely because of the income from games that Penguin has truly become a giant.
Luo Xiyun said, "If you want to open up markets in other countries, you need to introduce some global partners."
Chen Xu nodded in agreement. It was her business after all, and of course it was up to her to decide.
However, following the route he set out, if their relationship is exposed in the future, maybe she will be implicated by him and suppressed by foreign countries.
Luo Xiyun suddenly asked, "Do you have time this Sunday?"
Chen Xu said, "As long as you ask me out, I will always have time."
"My grandma would like to treat you to dinner."
"Meet the parents, I like it."
ps: It's past one o'clock in the middle of the night again, it seems that staying up late has almost become a habit. Well, it's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass. There are only a few days left, and there are still monthly tickets, so hurry up and vote. Otherwise it will expire.
