The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 298: Year-end dividends for Yun shareholders! (Monthly ticket requested!)
Xu Meng moved very quickly.

In particular, after Xiao Meng noticed her master's actions, she immediately joined in.

In less than three minutes, Xu Meng huddled in a foxhole and completed the preliminary adjustments to the code.

——He did not completely block the sense of smell, but added a switch to it.

He also made a note in his memo that he planned to further improve the switch and add custom adjustments to the sense of smell sensitivity after the game time was over.

In the future, if players enter the dream world on a large scale, they will always need their sense of smell to feel the fragrance of flowers, gun smoke, and delicious food.

Well, there is also the body odor of my virtual wife.

It's impossible to delete it just because of a fart.

As for why we don’t delete the act of farting, or reduce the smell of farts, or even make farts fragrant…

Just kidding, Xu Meng almost fainted from the suffocation!
How can we not let players experience such a unique experience in the future?
Besides, human preferences are diverse. What if there are players who just like to smell the smell of farts?

If this feature is deleted, wouldn't it deprive them of their fun?
——This is how Xu Meng convinced herself.

Anyway, he quickly solved the fart problem and returned to the battlefield.

Well, that means continuing to be bombed.

……

In the second game, they won.

[Sweet Potato Howitzer] is far inferior to the original howitzer in terms of absolute lethality and suppression power.

The enemies all focused on Xu Meng's bombing.

When his teammates saw through this and turned Xu Meng from a "key protected person" into a "bait", they successfully gained the advantage after a few rounds of counterattacks.

Everyone is very happy.

Except Xu Meng.

But Xu Meng still gave out money.

The teammates not only won the game, but also got a kill, and finally received red envelopes. They were so happy that the sky was filled with cheers.

In the third game, the situation did not improve, and was even more exaggerated.

As soon as the show started, a group of people looked at Xu Meng!

……

After the battle, the Heroic Sniper made a suggestion: "Boss Xu, how about you change your ID?"

"Your ID, [Da Meng], has been completely exposed."

"OK." Xu Meng was very easy to talk to and quickly changed his ID.

【Dream】

Xiao Meng patted his arm to express her dissatisfaction.

Entering the game, he was still being hunted.

Brave Sniper, Orange Juice and Seven Flowers really feel sorry for Xu Meng.

After discussing for a while, he took the initiative to ask Xu Meng: "How about we turn off the broadcast first?"

They asked this because they were not sure what Xu Meng thought.

——What if Xu Meng invited them to play together for publicity purposes?

Although Xu Meng said that inviting them this time was purely a "player behavior" and no promotion fees were paid.

But as their careers took off, they all really got on board the ship of their dreams, and they were all happy to help.

But they didn't expect that Xu Meng agreed without even thinking about it.

So turn off the broadcast and continue.

Unfortunately, he will still be hunted down!

……

Until the team disbanded, although the team had some wins and some losses, Xu Meng could not escape the fate of being hunted down.

Throughout the entire day, and in the following days, Xu Meng played either in a group or alone.

No matter you play [Warzone], [Hell on Earth], [Age of Madness] or [Confetti Wars], you will be targeted and hunted by your opponents without exception.

Even when he was strolling around Mansheng City and Silver City, one or two unruly people would pop up from time to time, trying to scare him.

But Xu Meng said nothing and just kept giving out red envelopes.

……

On the 14th, when the last batch of holographic devices were put on the shelves before the New Year, he even set a record of sending out more than 13000 red envelopes in one day!
That day, he stood in the central square of the Sprawling City, and players came one by one.

Later, for the sake of efficiency, players spontaneously lined up and received red envelopes from Xu Meng one after another.

Long queues stretched around the central square.

Players from different countries and nationalities, with different skin colors and speaking different languages, all stand in the same queue and receive red envelopes from the same person.

The atmosphere is harmonious and warm.

This unprecedented event lasted for a whole day.

It almost appeared on the homepages of major media websites around the world.

It even completely overshadowed the news that the third batch of holographic devices were put on the shelves and sold out in a very short time.

No one complained about Xu Meng's hunger marketing and deliberately keeping users hanging.

If anyone dares to say it, a group of netizens will immediately come over to educate him kindly:

"Boss Xu is busy distributing money! How can he have time to screw in the screws?!"

"It's Chinese New Year, what's wrong with Boss Xu taking a few days off?!"

“Do you know how long it takes for a new technology to go from the laboratory to the market? Dream Building is already as fast as flying!”

"If you think it's too slow, go and screw the screws yourself! Ningzhou Super Factory is also hiring now!"

……

Although the Super Factory is also within the Dream Building System, it is the only unit that strictly adheres to statutory holidays.

The tens of thousands of people here will not have their day off until New Year's Eve.

The super factory belongs to Xu Meng in name and in terms of shares, but in reality Xu Meng basically has no involvement in any management. He is just a hands-off boss who collects money and takes goods.

In a sense, apart from the lack of a staff, the Gigafactory is essentially a state-owned enterprise.

Therefore, Xu Meng did not raise any objections to the holiday arrangement, but prepared triple salary for the employees who worked normally during these days as a consolation.

They were said to be very happy.

Not all of the netizens who defended Xu Meng received his red envelopes and were bribed by him. Many people just liked Xu Meng because of his actions, so they were willing to support him spontaneously.

Many of them are not even gamers.

Of course, players’ support for him is the strongest!
This kind of "support" has also spread to the game.

Xu Meng's gaming experience began to improve slowly.

The number of people who would travel across half the battlefield to kill you is decreasing day by day.

This trend became particularly obvious on the 15th, when Xu Meng brought Xiao Meng and used the latest holographic display technology to travel across half of China and landed at the Affiliated Hospital of Huacheng Medical University to send Spring Festival greetings to all patients, especially underage patients!
By the end, he even had a pretty good gaming experience.

When walking in a sprawling city, people will greet him in a friendly manner instead of crowding around him and asking him questions.

Of course, at this point, the "game experience", which Xu Meng thought was very important, has become the least important thing in the eyes of outsiders.

The trip to the Medical University Hospital not only made netizens praise Xu Meng for her kindness and childlike innocence, but what was really important was:

Xu Meng showed everyone the feasibility of holographic equipment——

This thing can actually bring people who are thousands of miles apart together in the same room!
No delays whatsoever!

With the addition of somatosensory synchronization clothing, you can even hug each other!

This communication experience is far better than any phone or video.

Based on this, we can expand our thinking to include remote travel, remote teaching, remote office, remote medical care, remote business...

Countless industries and fields may usher in disruptive changes because of this technology!

The day this technology is widely promoted, it will inevitably eliminate many old jobs and create a large number of new jobs.

And this day seems to be very close!

——At that time, the outside world did not know that maintaining this real-time holographic dynamic display requires quite complex algorithms and consumes a lot of cloud computing power. It is not something that just anyone or any company can handle.

They just thought that since Xu Meng could accomplish such a task with ease in just a few months.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to popularize that technology!

As a result, most people are very optimistic, and people from all walks of life begin to imagine the future and chat about it on social networks.

In this widespread discussion, Xu Meng's image has gradually transformed from a game producer to a scientific research genius who promotes social progress.

In addition, his behavior of giving money indiscriminately among players in recent days has won him the favor of netizens almost all over the world.

In just one week, he established an extremely clear and positive personal image.

And he is closely tied to dream building.

Netizens love the company and its products because their good impression of him personally will naturally be transferred to the company and its products.

If you want to achieve this kind of publicity effect through marketing, I don’t know how much time and money it will take!

But Xu Meng only took a week.

Of course, he also spent a lot of money.

No one can estimate the exact amount yet - we only know that it must be a huge sum of money!

This is also what everyone is most curious about now -

How much money did Xu Meng spend?
The [Colored Paper War] of "Frost and Snow Project" gives cash red envelopes to all players, and the cost may be hundreds of millions.

Players of "Lord of War" are not treated differently. No matter which mode they play, there is a chance of dropping a cash red envelope at the final settlement, and the probability is not low.

The expenditure should be over 100 million.

In comparison, the one million or so red envelopes that Xu Meng gave out every day were just a drop in the bucket.

At this point, everyone already felt that Xu Meng was really generous.

But soon, everyone realized that they had underestimated Xu Meng again!
-
New Year's Eve.

Xu Meng appeared in the Mansheng City again with Xiao Meng.

During this time, the online rate of players in the Mansheng Metropolis also reached its lowest point.

But at the same time, most of the Xia people who are still in the game world at this time are players who have no home to return to on New Year's Eve, cannot go home, or have no one to reunite with at home.

——After all, the few people who are really addicted to the Internet are in the game at this time, not on the streets of the sprawling city.

At this time, heavy snow was falling in the Mansheng City and the Silver City.

The streets are also decorated with lights and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is very strong.

In such an environment, Xu Meng said "Happy New Year" to all online players.

Then, it began to rain in the Sprawling City and the Silver City.

This is a red envelope rain.

Still, cash red envelope!

——Every player can receive one copy, and the extra copies will be converted into credit points.

At the same time, there are also some lucky cards mixed in.

Xu Meng put five kinds of lucky cards, namely [Golden Lucky Card], [Wooden Lucky Card], [Water Lucky Card], [Fire Lucky Card] and [Earth Lucky Card], into various New Year activities for players to collect.

At the same time, in accordance with "tradition", on the last day of New Year's Eve, lucky cards will be distributed to make it easier for everyone to get together.

After getting it all together, you can still divide the money!
The big red envelopes one after another made the players and netizens a little dizzy.

Countless people began to ask online: "How much will Xu Meng spend on this round of Spring Festival marketing???"

At the same time, there are a series of doubts:

"How rich is Xu Meng now? What level of rich is he?"

"How much money did DreamBuild make in the past year to allow Xu Meng to squander like this?"

And most importantly——

"Why on earth did Xu Meng do this?"

“Is the price-performance ratio really okay with this kind of marketing?”

……

These questions received an answer that was not an answer on the evening news the next day:

At the end of the news, the reporter asked Xu Meng the most popular question currently on the Internet.

Xu Meng did not mention the specific number, but he did not beat around the bush either.

He answered clearly:
“It’s about 10% of DreamCraft’s total profit from gaming business last year.”

"The profitability of Dream Building is inseparable from the support of all players."

"So, this is the year-end bonus that DreamBuilding gives to everyone."
