The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 248 Global Influence! Outrageous Cooperation Invitation!
There was chaos both at home and abroad.

Countless people were unable to sleep the whole night due to excitement or headaches.

Xu Meng, who caused all this, slept soundly.

I woke up on my own before 8 o'clock the next day.

Looking at Xiao Meng who was still pretending to sleep, I put on the tactile gloves and gently poked her little face.

Only after seeing the little guy wake up did I get up and wash up with satisfaction.

Of course, I have breakfast at the company.

After all, there is a chef in the company who serves him exclusively.

——He prepared a special meal for himself, not only because he was greedy for food, but also because of the request of Wu Shuang and others.

This is to minimize the risk of poisoning.

In fact, all food procurement and safety inspections in the cafeteria shared by Dream Building and Neuromancer have now been taken over by the security team.

……

Xu Meng finished her breakfast leisurely before the company employees began to arrive at the company.

Unlike Xu Meng's excellent mental state, these employees were all in low spirits, with signs of lack of sleep all over their faces.

As soon as they saw Xu Meng, they immediately became excited:
"Boss! Good morning!"

"Boss, you are so strong!"

"Boss, when are we going to give the company a holographic makeover?"

"Boss, you've made headlines on global news websites!"

……

Everyone tried to find topics to talk about with Xu Meng.

Even the virtual city [Sprawling City], the new project "Monster Hunter", and the brand-new hardware [holographic display device] are no longer secrets within DreamBuild.

But before yesterday, this was all internal company news.

When everyone knows about it, what is there to brag about?
But it’s different now!

After Xu Meng made all the information public at once, everyone in the address book, both known and unknown, started to contact her frantically!

All kinds of flattery, envy, and jealousy voices continuously reached my ears.

All night long, I replied to message after message and answered phone calls one after another!
Have they ever experienced such star-like treatment as being sought after by thousands of people?

go to bed?

Do not make jokes!
Ordinary people only have a few opportunities to be in the spotlight in their lifetime.

Now that the opportunity has come, why are you still sleeping?

The most important thing is to brag to your peers!
Of course, after many trainings by the Secret Service, they are still clear about what they can say and what they cannot say.

——If there are things that you can’t tell the difference between, just classify them as “cannot be said”.

……

After such an exciting night, you can imagine the quality of sleep.

But even so, everyone immediately stopped feeling sleepy when they saw Xu Meng, the boss who created miracles.

Xu Meng responded to everyone with a good morning and chatted a few words.

As a result, he seriously underestimated everyone's enthusiasm, and a crowd gathered in no time!

Everyone became more and more excited as they talked, and the whole office became bustling with noise.

Xu Meng quickly said goodbye and ran back to his office to get some quiet time.

But just as he sat down, his assistant Chen Mengling knocked on the door and came in, also staring at him with a lively look.

"What's wrong?" Xu Meng was not quite used to it.

“I’m a little excited!”

Xu Meng didn't quite understand this: "It's fine if others are excited, but why are you excited too?"

"Didn't you already know everything that was revealed yesterday?"

Xu Meng did not even hide the matter of the dream machine from her.

"This is different!" the assistant said immediately, "Boss, look at these!"

As she spoke, she handed the tablet to Xu Meng.

Xu Meng took it and saw that it was a series of news screenshots.

[Game company creates miracle! The first real virtual city is born!]
[Breaking news! Holographic display technology appears to have made a major breakthrough!]
[Xu Meng: Not only a genius game producer, but also a scientific research genius!]
[Dream Games, valuation increased tenfold overnight! Global investors urged Dream Games to go public as soon as possible]
[Building dreams, the rising gaming giants and technology giants! ]
[The unstoppable new rich are creating new standards for the global gaming industry! ]
……

Xu Meng's fingers kept sliding on the tablet, and one news screenshot after another passed before his eyes.

Some are in Chinese and some are in English.

And French, German, Russian...

At the top of the screenshots were the names of the media outlets that published the news, many of which made Xu Meng feel familiar.

The news content also varies:
Some talk about games, some talk about technology, some talk about finance, and some talk about how to make money...

But no matter which article it was, it reported what happened yesterday in great detail, praising Zhu Meng and Xu Meng. "These are just some of the screenshots. I collected all these news. Do you want to take a look, senior?"

"Or if you want to see any, just tell me and I'll print them out for you!"

Xu Meng rowed for a long time but couldn't reach the end, so he put down the tablet speechlessly.

"You didn't stay up all night just collecting rainbow farts online, did you?"

“There are people who say bad things about it!” the assistant said honestly, “but they are all conspiracy theorists who say that holographic display technology is fake.”

"Is it true or false? How can I not know?!"

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Meng who was reading on the sofa, "Good morning, Xiao Meng!"

"Good morning, Sister Chen!" Xiao Meng responded to her with full energy.

"Okay, okay." Xu Meng shook her head and changed the subject. "Is there anything I can do?"

If not, he plans to go to the "Monster Hunter" project team to check the progress.

"Yes!" The assistant immediately became serious, took out a small notebook and said while reading, "It is also related to these reports."

"From last night till now, we have received 137 interview requests from all over the world, all wanting to interview you, the boss."

Xu Meng immediately shook her head, "I'm busy! Let's postpone it."

"Oh." The assistant nodded and deleted a line on his notebook.

She knew Xu Meng was nostalgic, so she added, "Huo Dao also wanted to interview you. He also said that if it's not convenient, he could interview the development team of Sprawling City or Monster Hunter."

This time Xu Meng did not refuse: "You can just contact the project team and the person in charge directly, they can decide for themselves."

Chen Mengling then made a note in her little notebook.

“And then there are the commercials.”

"So far, we have received advertising cooperation intention emails from 14 medium and large enterprises."

Originally, these matters should be referred to the marketing department, but this time the situation is special——

"These 14 companies all want to advertise in the sprawling city."

"Some want to open virtual stores, some want to rent the biggest billboards, and some want to put ads on the big screen in the central square."

"Putting advertisements in a virtual city?" Xu Meng blinked, a little surprised.

Nowadays, advertisements are everywhere in the sprawling cities.

Stuffing some real-life ads in there doesn't sound like a big problem.

But in reality, the sprawling city is full of fictitious advertisements for prosthetics, chips, cars, weapons, real estate, biotechnology, nightclubs, and the like.

If real-life advertisements are inserted, it will easily affect players' viewing experience due to the mismatch in style.

——Unless advertisers can do a good job of “localization” in the sprawling cities.

“What kind of companies are they?”

The assistant turned the page.

"I went to inquire about the advertising prices in traditional industries and eliminated half of the stingy ones. The remaining ones were relatively generous, mainly in the fields of clothing, trendy toys, guns, sneakers, and computer hardware."

"Wait!! Wait a moment!!" Xu Meng felt that he had heard something incredible.

"You just said...firearms?"

"You mean toy guns, model guns?"

"Of course not." The assistant shattered his fluke mentality with one sentence, "It's the Remington Arms Company under the Freedom Group."

"???"

This really exceeded Xu Meng's expectations!

The assistant noticed Xu Meng's expression, so he picked up the tablet, found the email from Remington Arms Company and showed it to Xu Meng.

At the same time, I dictated the general content of the email to Xu Meng:

"In their email, they praised our great success in the field of shooting games and highly recognized the battle that took place in the sprawling city yesterday."

"They also said they were concerned about their aging customer base and that urban residents were experiencing fewer opportunities for shooting and hunting, with the main way young potential shooters were exposed to guns and ammunition was through virtual game scenarios."

"So they started planning to enter the virtual gaming field many years ago in order to create brand preference among the next generation of users and win market share among young consumers."

……

Xu Meng looked at the arms company in the email, praised the perfect combination of immersive VR games and firearms, and placed high hopes on the cooperation between the two parties.

"In the future, DreamBuild can become the king of the gaming field!"

"And we will become the uncrowned kings in the field of firearms manufacturing!"

“Let us join forces to create a free and beautiful future together!”

Looking at these bold words, Xu Meng was a little overwhelmed.

There are too many flaws!

Instead, he didn't know where to start vomiting...
