Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 412 Ark International Unlimited Partnership
Fang Jie, who has never been very fond of being interviewed by the media, has now begun to tell stories to the world, and the stories he tells are more feasible, more beautiful, more attractive, and more meaningful!

The story Musk tells is about launching a rocket to Mars, from exploration to development, and finally to colonization of Mars.

This doesn't seem very reliable. It is extremely difficult for humans to land on the moon. You can directly cross to immigrant Mars. Are there any castles in the air?

If you make a moon immigration plan, it is more convincing and more feasible than the Mars plan.

What Fang Jie is talking about is that a real world exists in a virtual form. Although the game world is used as the carrier at the beginning, it will eventually develop into a virtual world that is closely related to real life.

In essence, it is actually the all-round application of remote technology, and the final form is realized on the basis of virtual reality technology.

This is very reliable, at least it does not exceed the limit of human imagination, and it is worth fighting hard.

After all, there are a lot of remote operations through computers and the Internet, and the high-end ones like satellite rocket launches are also remotely controlled by humans on the earth?
Since human beings can remotely control satellites in space, it is also possible to use them for civilian use as long-distance unmanned taxis.

Some people may say that unmanned driving is not reliable because the road conditions are too complicated.

Fang Jie wanted to say: No matter how complicated the road conditions are, is it as complicated as the situation in space?
I am afraid of comparison in everything. When I compare, I will find that unmanned driving technology is actually simpler than satellite technology. As long as the technology is up to standard and planned reasonably, it can operate safely. Didn’t you already have unmanned driving technology in your previous life?

So only in terms of feasibility, the story Fang Jie told is very likely to be realized, and there is a high probability that it can be realized within everyone's lifetime, but now we need everyone to work together to raise funds for such a major event.

Yes, Fang Jie said that he would not take any money. All the money earned from this game was used to develop related technologies. In essence, he was raising funds from humans all over the world!

If you make money and do research and development by yourself, you will definitely be incompetent, inefficient, and rack your brains, but if you let players from all over the world or even ordinary netizens join in, the results will be different. .

He said he didn't earn the money, or was he using it?

What about public accounts?
His goal in this life is to develop virtual reality technology. In the past, he made money for private pockets to develop this technology, but now it is nothing more than public funds. However, the purpose of the funds has not changed in any way, and it is ultimately helping him achieve his goals.

With his current status and industry size, if the money he earns is used by himself, the money will never be spent. It is not enough to just use it for virtual reality and related technologies. The problem is exactly what he wants.

You know, if the story is told well, the amount of funds raised globally must be huge, and a lot of big things can be done!

For every $1 spent by everyone in the world on games, that's $60 billion!
If each person spends more than $10 per month, that would raise $7000 billion per year!
This is much faster than making money by himself!

With so much money, is it still possible to acquire technology companies, attract talents, research and develop technology, and burn money for experiments?

It is estimated that the biggest difficulty Fang Jie will face at that time is not that he cannot make money, but that he has too much money to spend!

After all, everyone is more willing to invest in this plan, which is much more meaningful than participating in Musk's Mars plan!
On the one hand, this plan is very feasible, on the other hand, the accounts are made public and public funds are shared, achieving true "selflessness".

Everyone is a participant or even one of the executors of this plan. The money is not earned by others, but spent on yourself. It is an investment in your own future and the future of mankind. There may be gains.

So at least the mentality is different. Everyone signing up for the "Mars Colonization Project" may just be a kind of curiosity-seeking psychology, or if you are full and have nothing to do, throw some small money in and have fun, but signing up for the "Ark Project" involves When one's own vital interests are protected, one's mentality will be more active and even radical!
What's more interesting is that this planned project originally existed in the form of a game world.

It costs money to play games. This is the consensus of everyone, at least the consensus of foreigners. If you can handle major issues related to human survival while playing games, isn’t it just incidental? There are not many people. There is nothing to care about what you pay!
At least in the Mosaic Rocket Project, there will be no situation where someone feels cheated and asks for a refund of the registration fee, right?

The key is whether money or not is a trivial matter. We are making contributions to mankind. To participate in such a great and meaningful event, talking about money is boring!
So is the $1.5 million game map production fee expensive?

Said expensive, really expensive.

But this 1.5 million yuan actually leveraged a huge amount of funds from global investors, even including talents who have become loyal believers.

Just like in the securities market, the bankers have never had the most money, but spending a little money and telling a story can drive countless stockholders into the pit without thinking and form an unstoppable torrent. Quantum Fund Soros did it Quite a few of these things.

With only 1.5 million yuan, Fang Jie may guide trillions of funds into his "Ark Project".

Everyone in the world can participate in this plan, and there are not too many political factors involved, because he also told the media that the servers in the world of "Ark" will not only be placed in China, but will be deployed and set up in countries all over the world. , and eventually form a global "ark network"!
And to establish the "Ark Network" and to carry out such a large project, it will definitely require a huge amount of funds, and his own money is definitely not enough.

Where did the money come from?

Isn't that just relying on the "Ark" game to raise funds, which is equivalent to everyone paying their own money to buy servers, play their own Ark games, participate in the Ark Project, and create an ark for the future of mankind!
Perfect story, perfect plan!
After the relevant news reports came out, with Fang Jie's penetrating tongue and the fact that the plan itself was very feasible, logical, and significant, it immediately sparked heated discussions among countless players and netizens around the world.

Many netizens from all over the world have expressed their willingness or eagerness to participate in this great project.

After hearing this story, some funny foreigners even became loyal believers of this plan immediately, such as a certain Frenchman who is being regarded as crazy by the people around him.

Most people, especially those who are sensible, feel that this plan is not reliable, but they are still very much looking forward to the big-budget game "Project Ark: Survival Evolved".

If this game is really like what the richest man in Huaguo said, it is an open sandbox game that can continuously upgrade, evolve, evolve from the primitive earth to modern times and even the future, and it does have the possibility of virtual reality, which is related to the future development of human science and technology and survival, so after waiting and watching, it is not ruled out that they will be willing to join this plan.

The most indifferent response to this in the world is probably only the Huaguo region.

People in the country don't even understand real life. Now you are talking to me about the fake virtual world, isn't it bullshit?
Especially what you are talking about is a game, even if the meaning is high, it is still just a game, and the parents of the country will immediately stand up and express their disdain and opposition.

Now Fang Jie’s reputation is not very good, with mixed reputations. Whether it was in games or variety shows, he used too many routines. Don't believe it, this must be another way for the richest man to siphon money!

Well, anyway...

Anyway, Fang Jie is a native of Hua, was born a native of Hua, and died a ghost of Hua. Since this plan is led by him, even if the people of the country do not participate, or rarely participate, it will not be a big problem if he is there personally. In the future, if the real virtual world is really built, Huaguo will not suffer any disadvantages.

In short, whether it is support, wait-and-see, or opposition, everyone has at least one consensus in their hearts: this plan depends not on what you say, but on how you actually do it.

Everyone admits that the US$1.5 million game map production fee does seem a bit reliable. Fang Jie also expressed confidence when interviewed by the news media, and the concepts he said sounded like the same thing, so It is also the reason why everyone pays attention to this matter, which has aroused heated discussions around the world.

But this is not enough. You need to know more details about this plan and understand the actual progress of the project in real time. After all, you are not really stupid. You can be fooled for a while, but you cannot be fooled for a lifetime.

Of course, some people really believe in Fang Jie, believe in this plan, and think that this is indeed a way out for mankind, and it is also a feasible solution, so they want to know the details and progress of the plan even more urgently than Fang Jie. Enter the world of virtual reality early.

In fact, no matter what these people think, their purpose is the same as that of Fang Jie. He also wants to design and disclose more details, speed up the progress of the planned project, and realize his dream as soon as possible.

So while everyone was looking forward to it, Fang Jie's actions continued one after another.

It is no longer a nonsense to outsource the production of game maps. After the incident sparked global public opinion, Fang Jie announced that the securities managed by overseas charitable foundations, with a current market value of about 120 billion US dollars, will all be used for this plan.

Of course, the investment process must be gradual. It is not a matter of spending all the money all at once. He is still unambiguous about the matter of money making money. If there is no accident, Nasdaq will go on a bull market for at least ten years , he's not that stupid.

This incident triggered another wave of global heated discussions, and it was even more explosive than the previous map buying incident.

120 billion dollars!
This is not a little money!

With so much money thrown in, it seems that the richest man in China and the 7th richest man in the world is really determined to do great things!

Musk's rocket plan, compared with this matter now, is simply insignificant?
Musk's investment in the rocket program is not even a fraction of Fang Jie's, and he even embezzled funds for other things, such as the layout of the new energy vehicle industry.

But there is no basis for the words. You said that you will continue to invest in it, and it is still as much as tens of billions of dollars. Then who supervises, who has the final say, and what about the relevant legal agreements?

Therefore, Fang Jie also specially set up an international company in charge of the "Ark Project" to manage related affairs and assets. Overseas charitable foundations were officially assigned to this company by signing relevant legal documents and agreements.

The full name of the company is "Ark International Limited Partnership Limited Liability Company", referred to as "Ark International".

Among them, "unlimited partnership, limited liability" does not refer to unlimited liability partners, but refers to the fact that partners can join without restriction. For the common goal, everyone voluntarily signs a contract, operates jointly, shares profits and losses, shares profits, and shares risks. , and bear the corresponding limited liability.

That is, all players, investors, or companies participating in this plan can become one of the partners of this company.

For example, the player's consumption in the game is actually an investment in this company or the Ark Project, so he will automatically become a partner of this company, and subsequent consumption will continue to increase his shares in this company.

It's just that compared with Fang Jie, the "founding partner", the investment of other "contract partners" may be very small, and the proportion of shares is very small, but they are still one of the shareholders of the company anyway.

Let me give you an example: Fang Jie has invested 120 billion in the game now. If an ordinary player spends 1 dollar in the game, which is also an investment, then the company’s total equity becomes 120 billion and one dollars. The shares in Fangzhou International are 1/12000000001*100%.

If a big player like Bill Gates joins in in the future and is willing to invest tens of billions, then he can become a "core partner" with higher rights and obligations and more shares, even becoming the largest shareholder. no.

As for being a shareholder or major shareholder of the company, what's the use...

It is useless for the time being. The "founding partner" has the highest decision-making power of the company, the shareholding and its proportion. It is more of a symbolic meaning of "being the master of the house", which means that you are also one of the investors and shareholders of the company. There is the right to enjoy dividends, nothing more.

As for the right to dividends, there is no...

Only after the development of virtual reality technology and the development of Ark World, the company no longer uses all its income for investment or investment in technology research and development, will the remaining profits be taken out and distributed to everyone in proportion to the shares.

But in any case, even if there is no dividend for the time being, this agreement system still has legal effect and accepts the supervision of all investors and shareholders.

Moreover, once Fangzhou International starts to pay dividends, even if it is only 0.0001% of the shares, it will definitely become rich overnight.

After all, Arkworld is equivalent to a real world, and Fangzhou International is equivalent to a joint start-up company for all mankind in Arkworld. This 0.0001% share is equivalent to 0.0001% of the annual profit of the entire virtual social economy. This is definitely a Wealth myth!
These contents related to Fangzhou International's partner system, management system, share dividends, rights and obligations, etc., have naturally been publicized by major media in the world.

All of a sudden, international news about Fang Jie, the richest man in China, and his Ark Project began to flood the screen.

1.5 million US dollars to make a real map to restore the earth, 120 billion securities assets are all included in the Ark project, Fangzhou International is specially established, and the unlimited partner system is adopted. No matter what news it is, it is full of gimmicks and explosive points, it is worth everyone to pay attention Discuss, discuss, argue.

As these news kept popping up on the screen, the relevant progress was being implemented, which made more and more people believe in the authenticity of the Ark Project and Fang Jie's determination to implement the plan.

After all, he has spent so much money and set up a special company. He has even worked out the so-called unlimited partner system. He is even recruiting company employees from all over the world. This is so convincing , I can’t even believe it!

Even Fang Jie himself almost believed it.

However, this story was originally a half-truth. The company was really established, and it was really recruiting people. The game map was bought with real money, and the 120 billion securities assets were indeed assigned to Fang. Continental International, all legal documents have been signed, and the relevant systems are really stipulated in this way, everything is true.

This story is really told to achieve technological progress, at least for the advancement of virtual reality technology.

It's just that the routine is a bit deep.

Whoever wants to say it's fake, we'll be in a hurry!
There is a saying that goes well: If you want others to believe, you must first convince yourself.

Now even Fang Jie himself thinks it's true, let alone the general public.

Since the day when "Ark International" was founded, countless people at home and abroad have contacted Fang Jie through various means. Some of them want to know more about it and consider whether to join it for the sake of prudence. mix.

This is not a simple participation, but a real participation in the management team of this plan. Among them are many technical talents from all walks of life, and even many international rich people expressed their willingness to test the water of this plan, or to say that they will invest in Ark International to seize the opportunity. opportunity.

Are these people stupid?
In fact, it is not stupid at all. No one in the world is a real idiot. The feasibility of the plan itself is not repeated. It is only based on the status of the richest man in China, the seventh richest man in the world, and Fang Jie's own personality. , it is worth taking a gamble for everyone!
Otherwise, why are there so many people all over the world following the even more outrageous Mars colonization plan?

So the Ark project has only just been announced, the game map is still being produced, and Fang Jie is still thinking about the details of the game planning, and has already received investment intentions of more than 1000 million US dollars from all over the world.

In other words, as long as he nods now and gets the agreement and accounts in order, he can immediately receive at least 1000 million US dollars in cash.

When ordinary people are still busy with three meals a day, he only needs to brag a few words and become a multi-millionaire in an instant...

It’s too vulgar to talk about money, let’s just talk about making game maps. In the beginning, game makers on the boiling game engine platform took over the job. After the publicity effect was magnified countless times, now other open source platforms, or It is a game company with a reputation in itself, and it also came to pick up the job.

1.5 million, making a game by yourself is exhausting, and after several years, you may not be able to make this money, and you may even lose money.

If there is such a project every year, maybe Blizzard will stop doing "World of Warcraft" and directly take jobs on the platform, wouldn't it be more fragrant?
Even if Blizzard's management has integrity and only makes great independent games, it can't stop the game developers below. If the company doesn't let it, don't we take private jobs?

Therefore, a direct impact of the announcement of the "Ark Project" is that the work efficiency of global game production companies has dropped by at least 30%, and many game companies that have previously announced their game release plans have to announce skipping tickets.

Because the employees below are doing private get off work to earn extra money when they come home from get off work every day. They stay up late to help Fang Jie make game maps or other branch systems of the game. Naturally, they don’t have much energy to work during the day. Many people even do private work directly in the company. ...

As a result, this further led to the boiling engine, which everyone didn't like and didn't know much, suddenly went out of the circle in the industry.

After using the boiling engine, game producers in the industry found that Huaguo's game engine is actually quite easy to use, no less than the Unreal and Thor engines, at least it has obvious advantages in game optimization!
Comparing those games made by Boiling Engine, such as "Cross Fire" and "Meteor Butterfly Sword", they are really not bad, and the game optimization is very good!
Well, the next game can be made with the free boiling engine, which can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in engine licensing fees, why not do it?
So after the boiling engine came out of the circle, the games made by this engine gradually came out of the circle. After all, it is necessary to investigate and test, and these so-called testers are not only game producers, but also high-level game players. If it is a good game, absolutely Will not be stingy to recommend to other friends to experience.

As soon as boiling games are out of the circle, mobile games are also out of the circle. Smartphones are obviously the future development trend, and currently the only engine that can make smartphone games is the boiling engine!
Anyway, compared with other game engines, Boiling Engine has its own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to making terminal games, but it is the only one in mobile games. It has a monopoly position and is an industry authority!

As soon as the mobile game went out of the circle, Huawei mobile phones followed suit. After all, if you want to play mobile games made by Boiling Engine, you can only use Huawei mobile phones to play...

In short, it was originally just a concept of the Ark Project, but it resulted in a chain reaction. For a long time to come, related industries will continue to be linked in this way, resulting in an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

Originally, the boss was doing "Project Ark", boiling games and even the entire boiling group, many employees still had some criticisms in private.

Everyone felt that the boss was out-of-the-box and not doing his job properly. He was completely full and had nothing to do. He had too much money to spend, and he was too bored to find something to pass the time.

But this is also understandable. Doesn’t the boss of the pig factory just like to play pig raising without doing business? Playing games is just a bit big.

It can be seen that the boss only took one year, strictly speaking, only half a year. At the end of 2005, the international popularity of the boiling game soared, and the number of users of the boiling engine and Huawei mobile phones skyrocketed. Only then did I want to understand what the boss intended to do with this coquettish operation.

This frankly is to attack the west, fight cattle across the mountain, open up another winding path, and throw bricks to attract jade!

The boss routine is still so deep, unfathomable, unfathomable!
En…………

You are all right, so let this misunderstanding continue...
