As the double ended, the next day ushered in a violent vibration, the depth and breadth of its influence unsurprisingly spread across the globe. The whole world knew that Matrix Technology was brewing a super plan, but no one thought that Matrix Technology actually created a world! A world that is enough to crush the current Internet ecosystem.

Virtual world! This thing that was thought by everyone to be possible at the end of the 21st century at the earliest, did not expect it to become a reality today, which shocked everyone and caught everyone off guard at the same time.

Matrix Technology announced the "virtual world", and the country that has been hit the most is the United States. At present, the global Internet is actually dominated by Americans, and no one will question the birth of the "virtual world". Powerful energy, it is only a matter of time before the current internet is replaced. What hits the United States is that the entire virtual network is a completely independent new ecosystem, without any dependence on the current Internet, which means that in the future, when the world Internet becomes a virtual network, it will be controlled by China. the face of the country.

The fact that Americans will lose this powerful advantage is the last thing they want to see.

In addition to the US authorities, hardware giants in the United States and the whole of Europe and the United States are also facing a serious crisis. This time the crisis is unprecedented. This time it is an existential crisis. For them, the "virtual world" is like hanging overhead. The scythe of the **** of death, it is possible to harvest them at any time, because it will gradually disappear, if not completely disappear, it will basically be replaced.

The stocks of these European and American hardware giants such as Intel, , Intel, etc., plummeted after the announcement of the "virtual world". Among them, Microsoft also made a thrilling roller coaster during this period. The birth of quantum computer some time ago, Microsoft took advantage of the opportunity to announce the gratifying progress of the personal operating system in this field. , the market value once exceeded 700 billion US dollars.

But just after Ren Hong announced that human beings had entered the "virtual network era", Microsoft, whose market value was soaring, turned sharply, and its stock price plummeted. Back to 600 billion, more than 100 billion US dollars evaporated that day.

The plummeting market value of Microsoft is just an introduction, and the major hardware giants are not much better. The global stock market vibrated on this day and almost melted.

The global hardware giants are facing heavy losses and unprecedented crises, but the global Internet giants have not been affected much. After all, for these companies, the "virtual world" was born, and they just need to step up and follow up The matter of moving a house will not affect the fundamentals. Even if there is, it will have to wait for the game in the virtual network era, and before the new battlefield is divided, there are still opportunities for these Internet companies. of.

Typical companies such as pb have only dropped slightly. Generally speaking, Internet companies around the world have signs of decline, but there is no sharp contrast in the curve fluctuations. On the contrary, the overall market has shown an upward trend, and the initiator is b .

There is no doubt that b, who cooperated with Matrix Technology, has become the biggest winner among the global Internet technology companies. Zuckerberg's bright smile on the day of the press conference is the best portrayal. In the global stock market and hardware giants Under the mourning, b has become the most eye-catching landscape, supporting the entire market with its own strength and showing an upward trend.

b has become the second company to break through the trillion-dollar market value after Saudi Aramco. Saudi Aramco is an oil company with no comparison, while b is an Internet technology company with a brighter future.

Zuckerberg's smile today is the best response to the strong opposition from the board of directors three years ago. He did not hesitate to gamble everything he had to gag the mouths of the board of directors and all the opponents, which shows how much pressure he faces.

But now, no one will question him, and Zach's influence and mastery at b has risen to a whole new level.

As for Matrix Technology, people can't figure out what price will be suitable for this company. If you want to say, it can only be measured by priceless, because Matrix Technology is equal to the future.

"Double" has ended, but the influence has just fermented, and the much-anticipated global tour debut has become a foil. There is no suspense. Through this tour debut, Ren Hong has made hundreds of millions of people around the world. The people who knew about the virtual world at the same time, the power of this announcement can be called epic level.

On the second day, with the perfect ending of "Double", Ren Hong, as the host, also hosted a dinner party for the first time to celebrate the complete success of "Double". The people who attended the dinner included the biggest names in the global entertainment and technology circles. , all the invitees are present, which can be called an epic luxury feast. Anyone who appears in the public eye can have a huge effect.

"I love your new album."

"Really? What an honor!"

"You're very popular in China, maybe you don't know it yourself."

"No, you were wrong, r. Ren, now that I know, I'm still very surprised, and of course glad."

This top-level banquet was held in the "Time Magic Capital". At this moment, Ren Hong was talking with Avril Lavigne. At the banquet, there were all kinds of handsome guys, beauties, celebrities and rich people, actresses competing for beauty, male stars suave, tech giants and rich people. They get to know each other well, and they have a wide range of connections at this rare banquet.

The legendary high society is nothing more than that.

"Someone is calling me, I'm sorry for my apology." Ren Hong pointed and smiled at Avril.

Ren Hong nodded with a smile, and then left, communicating with people in the entertainment industry more out of politeness, and the technology industry is his circle.

"Boss, Intel, the president of Greater China would like to meet you." said Ding Yang, who came to Ren Hong's side.

Ren Hong heard the words, pondered for a moment, and guessed in his heart, it seems that these traditional hardware giants can't wait any longer, and Ren Hong already knows about the collective diving of these companies' stocks.

Unlocking the bell also needs to be tied to the bell, these technologies can only seek matrix technology to survive this life-and-death situation.

"Bring them to see me after the banquet." Ren Hong said. As soon as he said it, Ren Hong suddenly changed his words, "Wait, tell them directly, want to talk to their helmsman to see me, and add, let them bring my original words to their leader. : If you want to live, hurry up."

Ding Yang nodded and walked away. Ren Hong thought about this matter while walking towards his own circle. The popularization of the virtual world will definitely face many obstacles from European and American countries, especially the United States. The motherland behind him is playing against it behind the scenes, but it is obviously not enough. There is no need for any doubts, Ren Hong would not naively think that Americans will give up the dominance of the Internet so easily, and the pressure of the people is only the wind direction of public opinion, and it is the capital behind it that can really play a decisive role. These traditional hardware giants are now facing an existential crisis, if Matrix Technology can pull them in

Thinking of this, Ren Hong stopped thinking and took a seat.

"Haha! I didn't expect you to be a fan of Avril Lavigne, so why didn't you ask her for an autograph? How about you, are you considering holding an exclusive concert for her?" Musk said jokingly. There are seven or eight people gathered on this table, all of whom are top leaders in the technology circle.

A group of celebrities burst into laughter, and Ren Hong, who had nothing to do with it, poured himself a glass of Taiping Island wine, ignored it selectively, and took a sip. Ren Hong looked at Larry Page, "I'm really curious about what PB is tinkering with on the moon?"

Elon Musk immediately said: "The evil back of the moon, who knows what this guy Page is tinkering with, anyway, I won't believe that they are mining on the moon. This ridiculous thing, I believe even more He was dealing with aliens on the moon."

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. The bigwigs present knew that Elon Musk was joking, but Larry Page's heart jumped when he heard this sentence, Musk is indeed Just kidding, but he himself didn't expect to be fooled. However, Paige concealed it very well when he heard it. The fast-thinking Paige smiled playfully: "You found this all? Come on, I'm going to seal your mouth, how much is the hush fee? Don't ask too hard, Otherwise I'll cancel the order for you!"

Reading between the lines, Larry Page actually admitted it, and it was true, but everyone regarded it as a joke and didn't care.

With a burst of laughter, Larry Page looked at Ren Hong and said with a smile: "pb hopes to make achievements in the energy field, Elon, you're right, pb is ready to build a refinery on the moon Plant, extract the rich resources on the lunar surface, and hope to give your rocket a boost, how about it?"

"I'll take the hush money!" Musk said with a laugh.

"Ambitious space mining plan, you really know how to play." Jeff Bezos laughed.

"Hey! I said everyone, aren't you curious about what's on your ears?" Larry Page suddenly said, "This doesn't look like 2! What high-end technology could it be?"

As soon as these words came out, it was Ren Hong's turn to jump wildly in his heart, but he also concealed it very well, so that people couldn't see the slightest difference. Sure enough, life is like a drama, and it all depends on acting skills.

"This is a tragedy." Ren Hong said helplessly, which made everyone very curious. Ren Hong pointed to the ECG sensor suppressor next to the auricle, shrugged slightly, and said indifferently: "The laboratory If you take it off, the ear will be useless.”

When everyone heard it, they suddenly realized that this was also true and false, and it was indeed an accident in the laboratory.

"I'm sorry, Ren" Paige returned apologetically.

"It's not a shameful thing, it doesn't matter." Ren Hong smiled generously.
