Chapter 971 Aiming for the future

Lin Feng wants to develop the 3D industry. For everyone, this plan is very feasible. Currently, all countries are studying 3D technology, but they have not invested a lot of financial resources and manpower in it for the time being. After all, the TV industry, for the time being, still relies on LCD or

Plasma is the mainstay, and there are huge profits in these two areas. As a manufacturer, naturally no one will spend a lot of money to research 3D technology now. They will only wait until the LCD and plasma technologies mature and the market is completely saturated.

Promote newer technologies.

Judging from current market forecasts, 3D technology is undoubtedly the development plan for the next ten years. For "Second World", a game company, there are no technical problems in realizing 3D (off-screen) games.

, From a software perspective, 3D technology has matured. The difficulty now is hardware. The difficulty of hardware lies not in technology, but in how to democratize the price so that more civilians can accept 3D.

Most of the 3D glasses currently on the market are red and blue glasses. Although the 3D effect can be seen, if you watch it for a long time, it will not only be unbearable for your eyes, but also there is no obvious screen effect, which is far from comparable to that of a movie theater. If you can do it at home,

Feeling the cinema-like effect, that kind of feeling, that kind of enjoyment is undoubtedly very exciting and haunting.

However, considering the current technology of the "second world", it does not yet have such hardware technology. Acquiring "imax" is undoubtedly the most cost-effective and simplest thing. Use the mature technology of "imax" company to improve the "second world"

"Second World" 3D technology.

imax (abbreviation of image maximum, meaning "maximum image", Chinese pronunciation can be read as "Imax") is a Canadian company. Its core is a film projection that can project larger and higher resolution than traditional film.

System. The entire system includes film copies shot in IMAX specifications, projectors, sound systems, screens, etc. The standard IMAX screen is 22 meters wide and 16 meters high, but it can be played on a larger screen. The larger the screen, the more

The stronger the screen effect.

Of course, the cost of a movie with "imax" specifications is much higher than that of an ordinary movie. It is said that the projector's bulb is incredibly bright, and the light emitted by the most powerful (15 kilowatt) imax projector can even be seen on the moon.

Therefore, the imax projection system is expensive and weighs more than 1.8 tons.

Of course, after the "Second World" acquisition, the subsequent research focus will be on how to democratize and miniaturize the "imax" technology. Otherwise, ordinary people will not be able to enjoy this imaging system with clear effects and lifelike images.

Everyone can predict that once the "Second World" really acquires "imax", its subsequent expenditure on research investment will be in the billions of dollars. After all, it is not that easy to make this system compact.

Simple, so easy. But the prospect is very gratifying.

If it is successfully made into a pocket, the "second world" will have a super weapon that can challenge "intel" and "nvidia". For most personal computer users, more than 70% of

People buy computers mainly to play games or surf the Internet, and more than 97% of people use computers to play games or watch movies. If computers in the "second world" can enjoy realistic 3D movies or games at home at a relatively low price, then consumption will

Investors will choose "AMD" or "Intel", you know it without even thinking about it! This profit is something that no one or company can refuse.

Of course, this is also a kind of gamble. After all, it is not yet known whether "imax" can be miniaturized. No one knows whether it can really be miniaturized. This is just a hypothesis and a beautiful fantasy. If after investing huge amounts of money,

, "imax" fails to be miniaturized, or after miniaturization, its price is far beyond the reach of most consumers, which is undoubtedly a failure, and will consume a lot of "second world" funds. Don't forget

, In addition to "amd" and "ait" being the big money magnets in the "second world", "World War" and "Infinite Horror" will also be the financial black holes of the "second world" and will occupy the "second world"

A lot of money.

If there is one more "imax", I am afraid that the finances of the "second world" will be too tight. Its debts will probably reach an astonishing figure.

"Boss, at present, the company's capital turnover has reached a limit, and the company's current debt is as high as tens of billions of dollars. At this time, I want to acquire 'imax' and invest a lot of money in the development of 'imax' pocket. I personally think this is a bit

Take risks!" Although Wu Zhaopu did not want to argue with Lin Feng, for the sake of the company, he had to say something.

Everyone on the side nodded. Only the two people in charge of "amd" and "ati" frowned. Their current situation is not good. If they want to fight against the strength of "intel" and "nvidia", "imax" pocket-sized is the best weapon.

From their point of view, they very much hope that the company can acquire "imax" and apply its technology to computers. However, it is difficult for them to clearly agree with this plan. After all, everything is still unknown and the risks involved are too great.

.

What's more, for now, the hardware development department of the "Second World", even without this "imax" pocket-sized technology, can still rely on low prices and good quality to seize the mid-to-low-end market, not to mention Lin Feng.

relationship, its share in the mid-to-low-end market is gradually increasing. At present, it is close to being evenly matched with "Intel". In the future, the company is also preparing to launch cheaper and more cost-effective products in more third world countries.

's computer.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Lin Feng smiled.

"Everyone, regarding funding, I would like to remind you that funding is definitely not a problem. If necessary, I can provide the company with another loan of more than 10 billion US dollars at any time. With 'Second Bank', 'Bank of East Asia' and 'South Africa

Compared with the financial resources of Standard Bank and the three banks, tens of billions of dollars are absolutely nothing!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Everyone took a breath of cold air. There is a difference between having bank backing and not having bank backing. In the past, without bank backing, the company wanted to break every penny into two cents and use it, and when making decisions on some matters, they would discuss and discuss again.

Let’s discuss again and carefully analyze whether each investment is necessary, reasonable, and whether it can bring returns. In short, I am very timid. Now that I have the support of the bank, although I am still cautious, I am much more confident. In the past, I was very timid.

Most of the things that I only dare to think about can now be achieved through hard work.

For example, this time, the acquisition of "imax" would have been unanimously rejected in the past. I am afraid that Lin Feng may not propose such an acquisition plan. After all, the risks and investment involved are too high. For Lin Feng, it is also a no-brainer.

It's a small burden. But now, with three banks backing it, everyone has a feeling that even if this project fails, it doesn't matter, the company still has the possibility of starting over.

"Okay, everyone, don't think too much. In short, I firmly believe that 3D (out-of-screen) technology is one of the pioneering technologies in the next decade. If we can develop it first and make the price affordable, what we will gain

The profit return will be unimaginable. By then, if players’ computers and games are owned by our company, it can be said that we will have one more die-hard fan." Lin Feng said, knocking on the table.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, still a little hesitant. After all, no matter what, this is a very important decision for the company. No matter how much equity Lin Feng has or how influential he is, as the company’s leader

Executives, they must be responsible for the company.

"Boss, are you really that confident?" Wu Zhaopu asked on behalf of everyone.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"I'm not absolutely sure, but I believe that this technology is needed by everyone. As a player, it is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing to enjoy high-quality pictures (out-of-screen effects) at home. I believe that as long as the price

It's reasonable, and many players will pay for it. What's more, I had also dreamed that the game could achieve true 3D. Since I have the ability now, why don't I try it?" Lin Feng said very sincerely.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. They were quite dumbfounded by Lin Feng's somewhat idealistic plan.

"Boss, why don't you vote!" Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Wu Zhaopu suggested voting.

Based on Wu Zhaopu’s understanding of Lam Feng, if Lam Feng is willing to vote when the company has a disagreement, then no matter what the final outcome of the matter, Lam Feng will act in accordance with the group’s decision. Of course, so far, Lam Feng

There has never been a precedent for a project to be rejected. But this time it was really important, and Wu Zhaopu himself didn’t know whether to approve or object, so he proposed a vote.

Lin Feng nodded.

Everyone felt happy. Now, Lin Feng has almost absolute control over the "Second World", but he still shows his democratic side, which makes everyone very happy. With a boss with such restraint, there is no need for the company to prosper.

.

In the final voting result, both the game development department rejected Lin Feng’s proposal, but the two heads of the hardware development department, Lu Yizhi from “amd” and He Guoyuan from “ati”, both voted in favor.

Shares, including Lin Feng’s shares, already have absolute say.

The plan to acquire "imax" was officially approved!

Wu Zhaopu and others were not surprised that the "imax" acquisition agreement was passed at the meeting. In fact, they somewhat hoped that this plan could be passed. After all, if this plan is successful, it will not only bring huge economic benefits to the company, but more importantly,

Reputation and leadership in the industry are the key!

Immediately afterwards, through stock market acquisitions and positive negotiations, with the permission of the "imax" company, the "Second World" finally fully acquired "imax" for US$1.1 billion and placed it under the "Second World" account.

Regarding this news, the outside world was shocked. This acquisition was a bit too unreliable! But the press conference held by Lin Feng immediately made many companies feel the slightest chill, and made all players so excited that they almost didn’t go to support Lin Feng again.
Chapter completed!
