July 29th, Monday.

Tengda Corporation’s President’s office.

The air-conditioner was very strong. Pei Qian was wrapped in a small blanket, checking the work situation of the various departments and the reputation of some new industries online.

At that moment, Pei Qian felt as warm as his body.

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. However, Pei Qian felt an inexplicable chill.

It was a little difficult!

This month could be said to be filled with bad news. At first, Otto Technologies’ new cell phone and game router were very successful. Then, it was the haunted house’s foreign traveler project and the cold and warm zoo.

At first, Pei Qian felt that it was very difficult to understand that the game router could achieve great success. However, from the looks of it, this was only the beginning.

Until now, the foldable phone was still lacking in stocks. Many cell phone cases had also been sold.

Pei Qian did not have a good solution for the shortage of goods. He could only tell Shenhua Corporation to continue increasing production capacity and take some measures to curb the scalpers.

The game router was also increasing production capacity, but it was much better than the cell phone.

What was hardest for Pei Qian to accept was that the haunted house’s alien project and the warm and cold zoo had also become popular!

The project of a foreign tourist was similar to the other projects of the haunted house in Pei Qian’s opinion. They were all done with malicious intent, but they were inexplicably popular.

Why were there still so many people rushing to experience such a scary place? That did not make sense!

It was even more ridiculous to know about the Cold and Warm Zoo. There were obviously no precious animals here, nor were there any places worth praising. However, tourists were especially buying it and there was an endless stream.

Pei Qian heard that the employees inside were very talented. Every venue was like a crosstalk show or a concert.

At first, he did not believe it. He searched for the video online and realized that it was real.

That was very ridiculous! That was because Pei Qian did not ask about the selection of employees. He did not know where Tuan Xinzhang had obtained these employees from. Even if he knew that the salary of the Cold and Warm Zoo was higher because the employees he recruited basically had some additional points. They should not have become so popular, right?

It was hard to understand!

What’s more, in the current state, the new projects of foreign tourists and cold, warm, and autistic zoo should be done for.

The only thing that could make Pei Qian feel comforted was that both projects were infrastructure projects. The investment was huge. According to the current human traffic, it would take a long time to recover even if they were to become popular.

Of course, if these two projects were to drive the other projects of Thriller Hostel and the entire commercial district, there would be no way to talk about this day.

Pei Qian could only deceive himself and others by neglecting this part of the profits.

What was past was past. Pei Qian decided to see what would happen in the next two months.

There were relatively few things to do in August. There were only two things in total. The first was Tengda’s clothing brand, which was the VR game developed by the luxury clothing brand and Slow Movement Studio.

The second thing was that the movie ‘The Future You Choose’ had been completed. At the moment, it was being edited and post-production work. There was a Venice Film Festival at the end of August and early September. Zhu Xiaoce had already confirmed that he would participate.

Previously, Tomorrow is Beautiful had only won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, which was the second best film crew. It had always been the crew’s regret that it had not won the Palme d’Or.

After such a long period of training, Director Zhu Xiaoce, the main lead Lu Zhiyao, and the other crew staff had improved a lot compared to before.

The theme of ‘The Future You Choose’ was similar to ‘Tomorrow is Beautiful’ this time, and it was even better in some details of the plot. Thus, Director Zhu Xiaoce hoped to use this movie to charge the highest award of the Venice Film Festival, which was the Best Film Golden Lion.

Pei Qian had always been more supportive of this and maximized the financial support.

Even though winning the Golden Lion Award would definitely cause a craze in the country, Pei Qian felt that it was not important to participate in the Venice Film Festival.

On one hand, the judges of the three international film festivals were foreigners. They naturally lacked cultural identity with the movies that Tengda had filmed. It was a little surprising that Tomorrow is Beautiful had won an award. Many intentions of the movie ‘The Future You Choose’ were obvious. It was even simpler and more straightforward than Tomorrow is Beautiful. Foreigners might not like it.

The probability of winning the Golden Lion Award this time was negligible. He would probably only win the best male actor at most. He might not even win the Jury Prize—the Silver Lion Award.

On the other hand, even if he really won an award at the Venice Film Festival, it might not be able to improve the domestic and global box office.

There might be some movies that won the Golden Lion Award that exploded in the box office but they were often very successful commercial movies. Most of the movies that won the award had the global box office completely failing.

To Pei Qian, being able to win an award was Zhu Xiaoce and all the employees of Fei Huang Workspace’s long-cherished wish. The chances of success were not high, but it was worth encouraging.

He would give them more funds to play in Europe and enjoy it.

At the moment, Pei Qian was still focusing more on the luxury clothing.

After some thought, Pei Qian felt a little worried. Thus, he decided to make a trip to Slow Movement Studio to see what the VR game would look like.

…

“Boss Pei, this way please.”

Cai Jiadong was already waiting at the entrance of the company. After receiving Pei Qian, he led him directly to the experience area of Slow Movement Studio.

Then, he began to enthusiastically introduce the new game and the new VR glasses equipment to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian could not help but be stunned. “A new VR glasses equipment? Has it been made?”

Cai Jiadong nodded. “That’s right, Boss Pei. Our workspace is not only developing games. We are also updating the VR glasses equipment. However, there are no huge changes to the VR glasses this time. On the whole, we are continuing the previous design, so we did not discuss it openly.”

“On the whole, it still retains the previous style. However, some small details have been changed.”

“The main reason is that there is a certain improvement in performance and resolution. After all, hardware technology is developing very quickly now. It can be said to be changing day by day. The cell phone computers are updated very quickly. Of course, the VR glasses cannot fall behind.”

Pei Qian was silent.

He had a very bad feeling.

Updating hardware levels meant that certain parameters had been improved.

In fact, the old Doubt VR glasses were already very outstanding in terms of parameters. They could completely surpass most VR glasses in the market at the moment. For most players, even though they still had a certain grille effect and looked like large grains, they were already very high resolution compared to other VR glasses.

If the hardware was updated this time, wouldn’t that mean that the resolution would increase further?

As Slow Movement Studio’s VR glasses could be said to be the most popular at the moment, the chances of success were very high. There were not many competitive opponents in the market.

This undoubtedly laid a good foundation for Slow Movement Studio’s new game. It reduced the possibility of Pei Qian losing money.

Pei Qian said helplessly, “I’ll take a look at this new pair of glasses first.”

Pei Qian carefully scrutinized it after taking it from Cai Jiadong.

He realized that the overall shape of this pair of glasses was similar to the previous version: the iconic crescent forehead cover and the flat hexagon. The protrusion of Slow Movement Studio’s logo was retained. There was not much change on the overall appearance.

However, many of the edges used different colors. On the whole, it looked even newer and cooler. It could also be distinguished between new and old at a glance.

As for the controller, there were not many changes. It was completely used with the old controller.

Cai Jiadong explained, “We plan to name this VR glasses as Doubt Pro, which is a high-end version.”

“Compared to the old model, the configuration is mainly improved in resolution. We arranged for an 800PPI and above 8K screen this time. The refresh rate has also been increased to 144hz. We used a new battery technology. The battery size is small, but the capacity has been slightly improved. However, we can only play for two hours considering the improvements in other hardware configurations.”

“The glasses used the latest cell phone chip, but it’s obviously impossible to carry such resolution with a mere cell phone chip. Therefore, most games would be operating at a low standard under the integrated machine mode.”

“If you want to make full use of this screen, you would need at least a high-end desktop of more than 10,000 yuan. However, this should not be a big problem for true VR game enthusiasts.”

“The price is a little more expensive than the previous one. It’s priced at 6,499 yuan, which is less than 2,000 yuan.”

“This increase in price might be a little high, but it’s the outcome after all. What’s more, customers who can spend money to buy more than 10,000 high-end desktop computers should not care about spending 6,000 yuan to buy a VR glasses for the ultimate game experience.”

“Of course, we will also make some adjustments to the previous game and add a high-end version to the new pair of glasses.”

Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. The development of technology was really changing day by day. It was amazing.

What’s more, according to Cai Jiadong, this technology did not only appear in the past two days. It had been there for a long time. However, most VR glasses manufacturers could not afford to pay such a high premium.

How many copies of VR glasses had to be sold to recoup their capital? If the production was not reached, they would not be able to obtain a preferential price from suppliers. If the cost could not be suppressed, they would naturally not be able to use it.

However, the Doubt VR glasses were now more popular. Whether it was individual users or business users like Star Bird interactive entertainment experience museum and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, they would buy them in large quantities.

Such a huge user base allowed Slow Movement Studio to boldly pile materials on the glasses without worrying that they would not be able to sell them.

Pei Qian quietly put on this new VR glasses. He also wanted to see the effect of forcefully stacking the VR glasses into high resolution.
