After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 386 Career
After the first batch of virtual reality glasses was released, they were all locally made in Jiangdu.

So by the evening of the following day, people who had placed orders were receiving their packages one after another.

At the same time, virtual reality glasses were also sold at exorbitant prices.

On some platforms, a pair of virtual reality glasses has been sold for as much as 1.3 million yuan.

Things are rare.

It should be noted that 1.3 million yuan is enough to buy a house outright in some second- or third-tier cities.

In smaller cities, it goes without saying that you could buy two or three fully furnished apartments.

But this is just the price of a pair of virtual reality glasses.

Generally speaking, for example, the premium price of some mobile phones during the first batch of releases is either due to scalpers or the mobile phone manufacturers themselves.

Xu Lin is not one of them; he would never lead a publicity stunt.

As for scalpers, they weren't even allowed to buy anything this time due to the Moon Goddess's monitoring.

The reason why virtual reality glasses are hyped up to exorbitant prices is similar to that of license plates.

You get a really good license plate number. Then you drive your car out on the road, and a boss or someone else sees your license plate number and thinks it's great. Soon, this license plate number will be bought at a high price and become the license plate number of a rich person.

The same applies to Xu Lin's situation; it's all what those rich people want.

The principle of scarcity driving up value is vividly demonstrated in virtual reality glasses.

In a country with a population of 1.4 billion, the proportion of wealthy people may not be high, but the large population base means there are many wealthy people.

The morning of the 3nd.

Xu Lin was in the company's president's office.

Sheng Minghua came in to report.

“Young Master Xu, our virtual world is extremely popular right now. Even worldwide, for example, on YouTube, our virtual world live streams have completely dominated the platform!”

Sheng Minghua was quite excited: "I wonder what a grand occasion it will be when the second batch of virtual reality glasses goes on sale and millions of people log in."

With 150,000 registered users and at least several thousand people streaming live, they are now active on major platforms both domestically and internationally, attracting attention from many people around the world.

Xu Lin remained calm: "Tonight, when our first virtual game goes live, the buzz will be even greater. However, the existing virtual world, due to insufficient user numbers and technical issues, cannot yet achieve a revolution in the communication system, which is really making me a little anxious."

"Young Master Xu, I have a question. What exactly do you envision for the revolution in communication systems?"

"Your mobile phone will be obsolete, and the existing social media apps and functions on it, such as WeChat and phone calls, will also be obsolete. In a few years, with the introduction of our quantum computers, the existing internet and communication systems will become history. I predict this will happen within ten years..."

Xu Lin briefly mentioned it, but it's not so easy to implement in practice. Real forces will resist, and social development must take into account the realities, such as employment. So it's impossible to replace everything in a short time. It's the same with real estate. There are too many industries related to real estate. If it collapses completely, many people will have to jump off rooftops.

"Young Master Xu, you are simply a god descended from heaven!"

Old Sheng praised.

"Old Sheng, you're bragging about me again, aren't you!"

"Hahaha……"

Night falls.

It was exactly midnight.

Luna Technology's first virtual game has officially launched. This is a global game with a futuristic, high-martial arts theme. It tells the story of a future world three hundred years in the future where technology is developing rapidly. Humans have the ability to develop their own talents and abilities, enabling them to possess extraordinary power and thus embark on a journey to conquer the stars.

However, because this is a highly intelligent virtual world, it is equivalent to a completely parallel world. When players enter this world, it is as if they have traveled through time to start their own story.

Everyone is unique, and each person will have their own new life in this world.

Once the game was released, it became an instant global phenomenon on the internet, because this new game world was so amazing that it could fulfill everyone's fantasies about the future.

However, there are only 150,000 players.

This virtual world doesn't offer more login slots.

For the next month or so, the virtual world and virtual games were developing rapidly, and due to their scarcity, they remained extremely popular.

In fact, among these 150,000 people, many millionaires and even billionaires have emerged.

Being a first-timer isn't the only way to make money; it's not just through live streaming.

Xu Lin allows some gray industries to exist in the virtual world.

An incomplete system is a system full of hope.

But the rule remains the same: just don't be too blatant.

Early February.

Xu Lin met with the bosses of the two major domestic game companies again.

This month, their first virtual game is also preparing to be integrated into Xu Lin's virtual world, and this time they made a special trip to visit him.

However, Xu Lin only had a brief chat with them and left the review to the company.

As per Xu Lin's request last year, he only wanted high-quality games for his virtual world; he didn't want any shoddy ones.

A few days later, Xu Lin looked at the review report Lao Sheng had given him. "It's approved, right?"

"Yes, Young Master Xu, according to our strict standards, their virtual games are qualified."

"No problem, just get them online when the time comes."

"it is good!"

"By the way, Mr. Xu, recently, the bosses of several tech companies and people from large conglomerates in North America have wanted to meet with you. What do you think of that?"

"Ignore them for now, wait until their president gives the green light, their opinions are not important."

It won't be so easy for you to cooperate with me.

If the national authorities don't give Xu Lin permission, he won't easily make a move.

With the launch of the virtual world and its popularity sweeping the world, Xu Lin understood that the people in the Western world must be feeling uneasy. Now, Xu Lin had gained another important bargaining chip.

Xu Lin estimated that he would be negotiating with Western bigwigs within six months.

They can't possibly sit still.

Xu Lin said, "Leak a little information to them so they can put pressure on their superiors. Lao Sheng, be careful with your words and try to pass the problem on to them."

"I understand."

Old Sheng smiled.

The New Year in 2029 is February 13th.

On the 10th, Xu Lin had already given himself a day off.

This year, with four more little ones in the family, Xu Lin and his family didn't go back to their hometown for the Spring Festival.

They are all in Jiangdu.

Even Xu Lin's father, Xu Cheng, now a grandfather of four, has come over to help take care of the kids.

Ms. Ren stopped working at the law firm in January to take care of her child. Perhaps she will go back to work in a few years when she has more free time.

Actually, she's a partner; she doesn't have to do any work.

Moreover, now that she has plenty of money, going to work is just a way for Ms. Ren to pass the time. Some financially independent people also find a job to kill time because they are really bored.

Right now, Ms. Ren's most important task is taking care of her child.

The children were born on November 15th and are now almost three months old.

Xu Chongyan is the smartest, so he can already walk and talk. However, he doesn't know many words yet. He only knows how to address people close to him, such as his father, mother, grandmother, and aunt.

Today, Xu Lin returned from outside.

When Xu Chongyan saw it, he walked over quickly, his arms outstretched, wanting a hug.

"father!"

The three-month-old baby speaks in a babyish, childlike voice.

"Good lad, you've become quite fluent in just a few days."

Xu Lin picked him up.

Children are at their cutest when they are young.

Xu Lin couldn't help but lift him up high, a typical fatherly gesture.

"Xu Lin, don't scare him!"

When Ms. Ren came out and saw how tall Xu Linju was, she quickly reminded him.

"Don't panic, this is my son."

Xu Lin chuckled and let Xu Chongyan sit on his right shoulder.

"Xu Lin, put him down, he's too high!" Rong Xiyan also came over.

Ms. Ren: "You brat, are you asking for a beating?"

Xu Lin is 1.9 meters tall, and his shoulders are quite high, which is quite tall for a three-month-old baby. So it's no wonder that Rong Xiyan and the others were nervous.

"Yan Yan, do you want to get down from Daddy's shoulders?"

Xu Chongyan immediately shook his head.

Xu Lin laughed and said, "Look, Yan Yan doesn't want to come down."

"You brat, if Yan Yan loses even a single hair, you'll be held responsible!"

Ms. Ren glared at Xu Lin.

What she feared most was Xu Lin taking care of the child, feeling that he was careless and lacked manners.
