    What is the source of the turnaround?  It was a phone call from Brother Gai personally to Wang Huan, inviting Wang Huan to visit Microsoft.

    Microsoft has always been very covetous of Wang Huan's Internet business, and has also wanted to acquire some of the industries, such as Google, but it is impossible for Microsoft to grab so many plutocrats. Brother Gai once lamented that Wang Huan's  It's a pity that he can't cooperate with him because of his high talent, but this time the game console incident gave him great inspiration. Instead of quitting the console currently being developed, which can at most tie with PS2, it would be better to cooperate with Wang Huan.  , when the time comes, the standard of game consoles must be decided by it. How can such interests be let go?

    It is not common for Gai Ge to greet guests in person, but this time he made an exception for Wang Huan. If nothing else, Gai Ge had an intuition that Wang Huan could give Microsoft the next opportunity to take off. More than ten years later, he  He recounted this incident in his memoirs, which he called a hint from God.

    Wang Huan didn¡¯t have a good opinion of Brother Gai before, right!  Brother Gai is the world's richest man, a philanthropist, and has done some good things. However, Microsoft's methods are not very bright, and at least he is not a kind person. However, after getting in touch with him for a while, he found that he was still very easy to talk to, and they did not discuss anything about business.  Instead, they were discussing culture. Brother Gai had actually read a lot of Chinese Taoist and Confucian books, and what he said was to Wang Huan's liking.

    "There is no absolute justice or evil in this world. It depends on how you understand it. Cooperation with Microsoft is undoubtedly the simplest road. I just don't know what price I have to pay to take this road. But the worst case scenario is to build the road yourself."  Anyway, I'm still young, and with the fortress of brainwave technology, I want to see how long I can last. I'm not Truss, so I have advanced technology but can't take advantage of it." Wang Huan thought secretly, he could already communicate with  Interacted with the upper class figures of this world.  Because he is near this circle, he only needs an opportunity to be among them, and this time is obviously an opportunity.

    The visit is completed.  There was nothing wrong with the large teams on both sides, but the two big bosses needed to have a good communication. Only after they completed the communication did they reach an agreement.  Then it's time for these elites to talk and negotiate with each other.

    "Wang, I have been talking about the concept of data nervous system. In the future, computers will definitely imitate the human brain. A real computer is a brain that is comparable to the human brain. Human beings just have not exerted the full power of the brain. A computer that can exert the full power of the brain  He who exerts the power of his own brain is God.¡±

    Brother Gai's words were full of enthusiasm. Wang Huan really didn't expect that this uncle was really a technology madman. He was really thinking about the future computer. It was obvious that the brainwave system brought him a surprise. It was very likely that  His company is secretly developing this kind of thing.  If the future is not shown, it is either not mature enough or it is making technical reserves.

    "Can you tell me, can your brainwave technology be applied to ordinary PCs?" Brother Gai asked the key point. If this brainwave technology is mature enough to completely replace external input devices such as keyboards and mice, then it will be a  A revolutionary development has taken place in the computer world.

    "No! At least not now, at most it can only replace the mouse. And the current brain wave technology also has limitations, that is, it will cause extreme fatigue for a long time, such as more than ten hours, and there is a risk of over-braining, and the world will become extremely tired after a long time.  Want to rest."

    Wang Huan and Li Mingyu discussed and designed this first-generation brainwave standard to completely replace the mouse and keyboard in order to slowly let the technology go overboard?  How many factory jobs will it cost?  At least they have to wait until they develop to a sufficient scale and then authorize production. Otherwise, the most advanced brain wave receiving and output equipment is only as big as a Bluetooth headset.  It can receive and send out brain waves within a thousand meters, and can output all brain commands. It can process dozens of commands at the same time, and perfectly achieve the brain wave corresponding effect of all wishes come true. That is a revolutionary progress.

    Brother Gai is not too disappointed. Being able to develop a mature brainwave output device for commercial use is already a great breakthrough. It is inevitable that it will become a necessary device for computers in the future to replace peripheral output devices.

    Wang Huan saw that the XBOX, which is still under development, is a second-generation standard console that will be released next year. Although it is very good, it is still technically superior to the PS2!  This year, Sony's PS2 has been sold all over the world, making everyone jealous and drooling. Microsoft entered this market with a very different mentality, but it has not been very sure. Now that it sees the brainwave remote sensing system, isn't it even more powerful?  Feel?

    Brother Gai is interested, and Wang Huan naturally hits it off immediately, but the specific negotiations are very serious. How big will this market be in the future?  No one knows, but there is no doubt that Microsoft wants to getEnough profit sharing, but neither Wang Huan nor the other three people want to give up that much profit. They only want to agree to cooperate in the brainwave remote sensing control of game consoles. As for other home appliances such as computers and mobile phones,  Brainwave control revenue is not intended to let Microsoft get involved.

    "Isn't it very low to get a 30% share of a billion dollars? Don't be greedy!" Microsoft said through gritted teeth.

    "One billion dollars can only get 50% of the game console share." SuperSense Company is even more ferocious, just trying to gain nothing.

    The two sides were going back and forth like this, but Wang Huan and Gai Ge were smiling and attending some charity gala together. The media also reported on the cooperation between Microsoft and Super Sense Company. This is Microsoft!  One of the giants in America!  As a symbol of high-tech companies, in terms of popularity, IMB and Intel are inferior to others. KFC and McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola are comparable in fame. Brother Gai is even more famous. How many people know KFC?  McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, what's the name of their president?

    "Dear Wang! Do you want an equity swap?" Brother Gai calmly talked to Wang Huan about the current progress of negotiations at the famous charity party. He was stubborn about the other party's insistence on not giving up the entire market for brain wave control devices.  The approach proposed a very exciting condition.

    "I think this is a good idea. But it seems that you can't offer most of the shares in exchange?" Wang Huan said that it seems that Mr. Bill has been reducing Microsoft's shares, but he forgot that the other party's shares are still quite large at present.  More, it seems that Brother Gai has long planned to reduce his holdings of Microsoft stocks. It is worthwhile for him to exchange part of it with Super Sense Company. His passion for technical research in brainwave technology has been rekindled.

    Wang Huan is not particularly excited about this. For now, the appreciation value of all his stocks is not much less than the other party's net worth.  Sixty billion?  Or 70 billion?  Anyway, money is just a number to him. Like Gai Ge, he also feels that brain wave technology will open a new era, and they can't resist the temptation.

    During this time, reporters from financial magazines acted as paparazzi.  Every employee at Microsoft and SuperSense who might have gotten the news was harassed by them, so the outside world also knew that the cooperation between the two parties was still under negotiation. Originally, they thought it could still be lively after a few months.  .  As a result, suddenly Microsoft and SuperSense held a joint press conference.

    When Wang Huan used the endless flash of his killer weapon in front of a large number of reporters in the audience, he announced that Super Sense Company would exchange 49% of its shares with Microsoft Corporation.  The next generation console to end all controllers.

    The next generation comes from Japanese, which means the works of the future era. Although it is impossible to step into the future era of high-quality and high-quality game consoles at once, in terms of the operation method alone, it is indeed a console that will only appear in the future.  .

    This time, not only Sony is panicking, but the whole of Japan is also panicking. Everyone knows that Microsoft has a lot of money and strong technology. If it cooperates with this legendary killer weapon, it will be incredible!

    Be it Sony or Nintendo.  They are all panicking, especially since the console that Nintendo is developing will adopt the motion-sensing operation route, but the big killer controlled by brainwaves cannot be compared with motion-sensing games. Even if it is launched by then, the market response will not be too high, let alone  What a revolutionary thing.

    Wang Huan has already given his opinions to Microsoft.  When designing next-generation consoles with brainwave devices, it is required to add somatosensory devices. Whether it is pure brainwave control or you want to feel a somatosensory operation, it is a good choice. This is clearly to seize Nintendo's market.

    Wang Huan doesn¡¯t feel like he¡¯s at a loss at all, because their background in the research and development of game consoles is not that bad. Except for a brain wave control system, there is really no bright spot, and Microsoft has been burning the technology for so long with its deep pockets.  Once it is integrated with this genius technology, it will become a robot. The Super Sense Company yelled, "I will make up the head," and then Microsoft yelled, "I will make up the body." Just like that, the Super Sense Box appeared. Although Wang Huan was very dissatisfied.  This name, but the super-sensory box is already his

    It is the best name that can be accepted. Who makes both parties not want to give up each other's names? Anyway, the name of the super-sense box is the super box. It sounds very sexy when you hear it, doesn't it?

    However, for the brainwave control system, both Microsoft and the super-sensing company need more efforts. Many of the original things have to be canceled and changed. They even have to urgently modify the game under the new operating mode with the software supplier. Of course, the changes cannot be made.  It takes too much time. Although these games are not specially developed for brain wave manipulation, they can still exert their charm, especiallyCounter-Strike, Diablo and Heroes are all unexpected gifts. Microsoft also said that this cooperation will only make a profit without losing any money. It is a wonderful thing to be able to cooperate with Blizzard. Why?  Just the help Blizzard gave to Microsoft's Halo game made them very satisfied. What's more, Wang Huan also produced several casual games, including Plants vs. Zombies, Dancing Heaven, Angry Birds, etc., as game consoles.  The software lineup suddenly became much stronger.

    The addition of Hayes made Gai Ge shout that he had made a lot of money. He never expected that the shareholder of Super Sense Company was so talented in hardware that he was almost like a superman. As a big black man, he completely showed off his muscular body.  He has the same powerful and intelligent mind as Big Guy. Big Guy has great wisdom, which is the most perfect description of him. With his help, they are optimistic that they can release it in early 2001, although it is still the latest console release of the same generation.  , but they believe that this kind of console that completely surpasses Sony and Nintendo will undoubtedly dominate the world.

    What surprised Brother Gai the most was.  Hayes discovered a major bug in their BOX in a short period of time, that is, DVDs and CDs running on the host will be scratched by the optical drive. You can imagine what impact it will have on its sales if it breaks out in the future.  Especially for Japanese players who are picky and hate defective products, this is even more of a disaster. Brother Gai even shouted that just one Hayes is worth half of the value of this cooperation.

    But Li Mingyu soon gave him another huge surprise, as a software genius.  The platform system and community system he specially developed for this console are amazingly powerful and extremely interesting. Players can't help but communicate in this community even if they don't play games.  What's more, he also led the software development team to solve many problems. The game development team he led not only greatly increased the speed of their game development projects, but also allowed them to see the huge potential and charm of the King of Fighters game.

    Even Zhang Botao brought a surprise to Brother Gai.  This guy's sales ability is very talented, and the multiple promotion plans he proposed are top-notch.

    If you count the several game plans that Wang Huan has created in one breath, such as God of War, Assassin's Creed, Bayonetta, etc., Brother Gai is holding his head and wondering whether Microsoft is taking advantage of this cooperation.  Why does it feel like a surprise to him that Microsoft has dug up some Solomon's treasure?  And it¡¯s the type that keeps appearing one after another. If you think about it this way, the investment of billions of dollars and the 25% share swap will not be so depressing.

    Wang Huan is considering whether the brainwave control system on the next generation of game consoles should be improved more to support more complex games. The next generation will drive Sony and Nintendo out of the market, but  Presumably the other party will struggle to the death.  However, whether there will be any trouble if it becomes a true monopoly is no longer a consideration for him. The world is clamoring for anti-monopoly, but in fact it is still unavoidable, otherwise Microsoft would have been broken up long ago.

    At the beginning of 2001, both Microsoft and Super Sense Corporation.  They can't wait. The long-running advertising has made players around the world look forward to the birth of this epoch-making console. You must know that Microsoft has already made the determination to occupy the market even if it loses money in this area. If it weren't for the brainwave control system  This is what they did, and they lost one billion US dollars a year.  Bill Children's Shoes is just for the market, and billions are just to play again. This long-term patience is enough to scare all opponents.

    ??????????????????? However, at a price of 399 US dollars, even wealthy European and American players will feel extremely painful when their anus tightens. It is a hundred US dollars more expensive than the PS2!  Although it is said to be because of the brainwave remote sensing control system, it is still so expensive!

    You must know that in order to buy and wait for this epoch-making console, countless fanatical home console game fans are saving money. Although they will not sell their kidneys or anything, frugality is by no means a new thing. For this reason, the sales of Sony PS2 have dropped significantly.  Not to mention the Sega Saturn and Nintendo's Gamecube, which are complaining endlessly. Wang Huan has the same crazy feeling as when Apple released the iPhone. Once the charm of high-tech products appears, it is unstoppable!

    The first midnight sales event in New York and San Francisco was proposed by Zhang Botao. Wang Huan and Gai Ge teamed up to play a game of King of Fighters, and then held a King of Fighters challenge on-site. The top ten players would all receive free super-sensory boxes.  There are various rewards. For example, the champion can get any game released by Super Sensing Box within one year for free, and get a series of exquisite commemorative products. These are all good things that are free but very happy for players.

    Wang Huan and Brother Gai are in New York and San Francisco respectively. Brother Gai visits the New York Plaza in person, while Wang Huan appears in San Francisco. The two will connect through the Internet for a brainwave-controlled fighting competition.

    There are dozens of media outlets around the world conducting live interviews, including CCTVReported, after all, Wang Huan is their pride!  If they don't know about such a shameless thing, they'd be fools.

    Many players have already known the video footage of the King of Fighters game, but the footage of a few minutes is too short. This time they truly understand the concept of what is the most powerful real fighting game in history.

    Two out of three games. In the first game, both sides can choose to PK plot characters, and they cannot help but hide the plot characters. This option can only be turned on when the players agree with each other. Currently, only great masters who are confirmed to have the power of transformation can be among them.  Mo, Zhang Sanfeng, and Sun Lutang were all among them. At first, Wang Huan was still hesitating whether Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan should also join. After all, according to the books, the other party also had the performance of Huajin's cultivation. Later, in order to allow players to have enough substitutions,  The feeling is still not added, but it is obvious that these are the most powerful among ordinary plot characters, but also have the highest operational requirements.

    Brother Gai certainly knows the power of the three hidden plot characters. He has played them many times in private. Out of the promotion of Shaolin martial arts, he did not hesitate to choose the great monk Bodhidharma. In order to conform to the historical characteristics of the very typical Bodhidharma monk  They are the clothes of Indians and ancient Indian Buddhism, and Wang Huan did not choose Zhang Sanfeng but Sun Lutang, the best tiger-headed Shaobao in the world in modern martial arts.

    In this battle, even Wang Huan did not expect that among the modern Chinese martial arts, only Ip Man, Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong and others were famous, but he had inadvertently changed the history.  (){Piaotia Literature www.piaotia.net thanks all book friends for their support.
