Chapter 275 The best interpretation of the unstoppable trend
Jianing City, the new headquarters of Yuanjie Intelligent Control.
The company was quite busy today, with many foreign faces visiting us.
They are not Wall Street venture capitalists seeking investment, but top electronic product distributors and gray market giants from around the world.
As well as the secret agents representing different wills of OMG Capital, some of them have previously participated in the hunt for Yuanjie intelligence control.
Now it’s time to join if you can’t beat them. The situation has come to this point and the trend is unstoppable.
Then go with the general trend and eat and make money first. The most important thing is to put the rest aside and talk about it later.
However, on the surface, the so-called "soft blockade" and "hidden blockade" of Yuanjie intelligence control have not been "lifted", but in fact they are in vain.
The reason for not "removing" is obviously because I can't feel ashamed, but I can't bear to give up this huge benefit to others.
They are actually very nervous right now, so they can only pretend and stand up.
These foreign faces who came to visit bypassed the so-called formal channels and came with huge bank guarantees in the name of private individuals or their offshore companies to express their willingness to purchase.
At around 10 a.m., in a high conference room in the company's new headquarters, Lu An took the time to meet with several of the most important representatives in person.
These people used to control the circulation of global electronic products behind the scenes, but now they seem extremely humble.
"Mr. Lu, congratulations to you and your team on your epoch-making achievements." A middle-aged foreigner with meticulously combed hair spoke first, his tone cautious, "We hope to obtain the distribution rights of brain-computer terminals in the global market."
Another channel tycoon from Beijing Magnesium added Said: "We know that some unpleasant experiences in the past have caused some trouble for your company, but business is business, and consumer demand is real. We can establish an efficient and stable supply chain to ensure that brain-computer terminals are smoothly delivered to every user who desires it."
He said this in a very low manner, and in the end there was still no way out.
Except for Metaverse Intelligence, there is no other company or scientific research institution in the world that can develop brain-computer terminal equipment\
The era of the Metaverse has already sounded, and it will not wait for them, but will only accelerate in a spiral.
If they do not have the ability to open a table by themselves, they will have to go to the table opened by Lu An to avoid being left behind by the times. To put it bluntly, they have no choice in the current situation.
At this moment, all the foreign faces present were staring at Lu An, waiting for his response.
Lu An's expression was calm, and he sat comfortably with his legs crossed and his back on the single sofa. He gently put down the tea cup in his hand and glanced at everyone present.
"Whether you are using regular channels or gray ones, I'm not interested." Lu An's voice was clear and steady. He continued calmly and calmly: "As for the overseas market, the channels can be yours, and the people can be yours, but I have only one request, to accept the intervention of Metaverse Intelligent Control."
"This" there was a slight commotion in the conference room.
Lu An said calmly: "I don't care about you and that. Frankly speaking, I don't trust you. God knows when the time comes, you will take my hardware products and deliberately manipulate them to cause a large number of users to be inexplicably harmed, thus putting the blame on me. "This can be said to be very straightforward and without any cover-up. It means that I don't trust you and I have to guard against you.
Speaking of this, Lu An glanced at the foreigners present.
"Although I don't trust you, it doesn't mean that we can't cooperate. In a word, if you want to rely on me to make money, you have to listen to me."
Obviously, brain-computer terminals are different from bionic prostheses.
The reason why distributors are given so much freedom in the overseas export of bionic prostheses is because the product is aimed at specific disabled groups, and the export volume is also intentionally controlled.
But the brain-computer terminal is different. This product is aimed at a large number of non-specific consumer groups.
And the export volume cannot be controlled. The more the better, because the larger the number of users, the healthier and more stable the Metaverse digital ecosystem will be.
So, for the brain-computer terminal product, Metaverse Intelligent Control must have the ability to intervene, and cannot give them loopholes to deliberately create problems to damage the reputation of the product.
"Can you accept this condition?" Lu An glanced at everyone and said, "If you can accept it, we can continue to talk. If you can't accept it, there is no need to talk about it. Let's leave early. My time is limited."
As soon as these words came out, the foreigners present looked at each other.
Lu An did not give them any room for bargaining or any room for maneuver. Such force made them extremely uncomfortable and extremely annoyed, but they could only feel angry.
"Mr. Lu, we accept it."
After a while, the foreigners present at the meeting expressed their opinions one after another. They felt aggrieved but smiled and expressed their willingness to accept this condition.
What else can I do but accept it?
Here in Lu'an, they don't have any advantageous chips. Metaverse Intelligent Control can do without overseas markets, because the large mainland market of 1.4 billion people is enough to support brain-computer terminals to form a strong ecosystem of their own.
The huge scale of the mainland market is itself a super advantage.
Yuanjie Intelligent Control not only has the backing advantage of the mainland market, but also develops the product itself, so the other party has no bargaining chips at all.
And they were also very afraid of offending Lu An, who would write it down in his little black book and block them directly.
This matter has been recorded in the previous distribution negotiations for bionic prosthetics. Many people still remember the unlucky manufacturer that was blackmailed and sacrificed by Lu An.
It can only be said that people are the shadow of famous trees.
Lu An had such an impression in their eyes, which saved them a lot of time talking.
As everyone expressed their willingness to accept it, Lu An suddenly showed a bright and harmless smile, "That's right. You have made a very wise decision, so you can continue to talk."
The corners of the mouths of the foreigners attending the meeting twitched. The situation was stronger than others, so they could only bear it.
Finally, Lu An scanned the crowd and said in an orderly manner: "As for the overseas market, Metaverse Intelligent Control's strategy is very clear, open and without premium."
"On a specific level." Lu An continued: "The domestic selling price of brain-computer terminals will serve as the global benchmark price. However, taking into account international logistics, tariffs and We will give our partners a reasonable markup on the cost of localization services, but we will not use our technology monopoly position to significantly increase prices."
A number of overseas agents present were quite surprised that Metaverse Intelligent Control is fully qualified to obtain excess monopoly profits, and it did not increase prices as much as bionic prosthetics.
Obviously, Lu An has bigger considerations. Profit is important, but it is not the only goal, especially at this stage, not to mention Yuanjie Intelligent Control's profits are already quite exaggerated.
The brain-computer terminal has just come out, and it represents a new ecology and a new way of life.
Its value lies in how many people use it, how much content is built on the metaverse digital world, and how much social activities are migrated into it.
So, the key point is highlighted, that is, the more people who use it, the better.
What Metaverse Intelligent Control needs is not to prioritize profits, but to prioritize the overall number of users. What it wants is to occupy the global market quickly and on a large scale and form an irreversible user base and ecological barriers.
Once this goal is achieved, there is no need to worry about profits at all.
It can be seen that a substantial price increase is not conducive to achieving this strategic goal. Not to mention price reduction, keeping the price almost the same as the domestic price is enough.
Rapidly roll out tens of millions or hundreds of millions of brain-computer terminals, making the digital world of the Metaverse an indispensable part of the lives of ordinary consumers and even elites around the world.
When the standards set by Metaverse Intelligence become the world’s standards, when the brain-computer terminal platform carries the world’s most important digital assets and social relationships.
That is the truly solid foundation, and the pursuit of short-term huge profits will slow down this process.
After being surprised, the businessmen present quickly understood the strategic intentions of Yuanjie Intelligent Control.
This is not Lu An's kindness to his partners in business, but his more ambitious and rational strategic decision-making layout.
Indeed, what Lu An wants now is not money, Yuanjie Intelligent Control is not short of money at all.
What Lu An obviously wants is the right to speak and even the right to dominate the future world.
Put brain-computer terminals into the global market like a wedge as quickly as possible, making it difficult for any subsequent competitors, whether in terms of technology or strategy, to shake it.
"So, how to cooperate?" the channel tycoon of Bei Magnesium asked directly.
"We will build an authorized distribution system." Lu An answered calmly and orderly: "For qualified partners, they can obtain terminal authorization and be responsible for regional logistics and basic after-sales. However, the brain-computer terminal platform access and data services must be managed by Metaverse Intelligent Control."
"We can ignore the content review aspect. I am not interested in exporting ideology with you. However, Metaverse Intelligent Control needs to have the right to know and access the content. Your content cannot discredit Metaverse Intelligent Control, including our country."
"Either present it objectively, or remain silent and not intentionally lead maliciously. If you are worried that we are exporting ideology to you and it is not conducive to your rule, then you just build a wall."
This is self-confidence. They can't stand it if it's shown objectively.
Lu An really does not care or have any interest in exporting ideology to their people. Heading to the stars and the sea is his great goal in the future.
In other words, agent distributors mainly sell hardware and make money, nothing more.
But if something goes beyond this limit, Metaverse Intelligent Control has the right to intervene. Especially if someone does something that damages the reputation of the product, whether accidentally or deliberately, it will be dealt with seriously as soon as possible.
The talks ended in a delicate atmosphere. The overseas businessmen who came to visit got the "admission passes" they wanted, and the price was significantly lower than they expected.
They were initially mentally prepared for Metaverse Intelligent Control to significantly increase its price. After all, this company had done this before. Bionic prostheses sold for 20,000 yuan in the domestic market, and the price increased to 250,000 yuan when exported overseas.
The price of this brain-computer terminal must have increased several times, right?
As a result, the domestic market is used as the benchmark price. Even if international logistics, tariffs and other factors are taken into account, the price will not be much more expensive than the domestic market.
Of course, international logistics, tariffs and other costs will be borne by the agent, and Metaverse Intelligent Control will not foot the bill.
Although the price was significantly lower than their expectations, they did not feel relaxed at all because they also lost pricing power in overseas markets.
Lu An did not give them this right because brain-computer terminals are different from bionic prostheses.
Brain-computer terminals need to be popularized around the world as quickly as possible, so as to create an irreversible user base and ecological barriers with faster efficiency.
If the pricing power is given to them, they will price too high, resulting in slow product popularization and slow growth in user scale. This is obviously unacceptable to Lu An.
However, for them, they have lost pricing power and the profit margin has not doubled, which does not mean they will earn less.
As the sales volume increases, the absolute profit will not be less than doubling the profit margin, and you can even earn more.
To put it bluntly, small profits but quick turnover.
But they are also clearly aware that even the pricing power is controlled by Yuanjie Intelligent Control. They are no longer the makers of rules, but have become the "vassals" of Yuanjie Intelligent Control, an emerging technology empire, to expand the territory of brain-computer terminal business around the world.
This time it was Ah Mei’s turn to feel uncomfortable. It was like he was stuck at both ends.
The original plan was to start fighting against the sweater next year, including in the field of technology, and planned to fully target Yuanjie Intelligent Control.
At this juncture, brain-computer terminals are shockingly emerging. How can we fight against this?
On the other side of the ocean, a high-level closed-door meeting is taking place in the Bai Palace. There is only one topic: how to deal with the Eastern brain-computer terminal and the digital world of the Metaverse.
"Gentlemen, we are in an extremely passive predicament." The technical consultant present at the meeting pinched his eyebrows and said solemnly: "The situation is worse than we expected. Our companies and people are frantically pursuing the brain-computer products of Metaverse Intelligent Control."'
Old The chief officer crossed his arms in front of him, with a tough look on his face, and subconsciously said: "Then block it and prohibit it from entering the North Magnesium market, and all allies will follow up."
Hearing this, the people present silently cursed idiots in their hearts. If only things were that simple.
The technical consultant said euphemistically: "This may be very difficult. The current situation is that our universities, companies, research institutions, and our allies are all trying to find ways to access the Metaverse."
After pausing for a moment, he added: "If brain-computer terminals are prohibited from entering the Bei Magnesium market, it will be equivalent to announcing that we will voluntarily withdraw from the next generation computing platform. We will lose an entire generation of developers, researchers and users!"
At this point, he took a deep breath, looked at the old leader and continued: "Not to mention, the "first generation of brain-computer terminals built by brain-computer terminals" "The Second World" is forming a new economic system and a new social network. "
"If we are excluded, it means that our companies will lose this, which may be the largest digital market in the future, and our cultural influence will be significantly reduced. This is not just a technical problem, nor is it just an economic problem, but it will cause a series of major systemic problems."
The technology giants in Silicon Valley alone will not agree. This is equivalent to killing their future. If you do this, they will definitely fight back wildly. If you ruin their future, they will no longer care about anything. It doesn't matter if they die or die.
Not to mention that brain-computer terminals are not impacting a single industry, but almost every field, especially the Internet and technology fields.
This is the best explanation of the unstoppable trend, which is independent of human will.
