Chapter 1174 Ending with a Bang!

In fact, the Samsung employee's estimates ultimately underestimate people's enthusiasm for virtual reality technology.

When 50,000 helmets were sold on the spot, the transaction price of an HV-1 helmet in the second-hand market has exceeded 50,000, which is a fourfold increase compared to the price of 12,000 more than.

After seeing such a price, many people who sold it early showed regretful expressions, while the orders that were sold at a low price were constantly canceled by the seller and listed at a higher price.

An eerie picture emerged across the second-hand platform.

Seeing that there are not many transactions, but the price of helmets jumps up a step every minute, and it is forced by the seller to become a situation where there is a price but no market.

If we talk about general product launches and exhibitions with goods, there will be a group of scalpers standing at the door, asking those customers who came here for the name but returned empty-handed, whether they want to buy scalpers.

However, the situation here is quite the opposite. Although there are scalpers at the door, they are not aimed at customers who can't get in the queue, but those customers who have already bought from the exhibition hall with backpacks on their faces and happy faces.

Whenever they see such a person, they will rush forward like the driver at the train station gate, asking tirelessly——

"Big brother? Resell it? I'll give you 24,000! Resell it and double it. After passing this village, there will be no such shop!"

"Cut! Want to buy it with this little money? I'll offer 30,000 yuan! Sell it to me!"

Of course, in addition to scalpers, there are some players who really want to buy.

But standing here, who is not?

Therefore, no matter what price those people offer, except for a few people who will hesitate, the answer given by the vast majority of people often has only one concise word——

"roll!"

At the same time, when the "sky-high price helmet" reached the top of the hot search list, many users who were lucky enough to enter the conference site not only took the helmet home in advance, but even posted their experience on the Internet, which attracted a lot of attention. Countless people who eat melons came to watch with envy and hatred.

For example, the well-known director Wang Lihui published a long blog post on his scarf immediately after the on-site press conference, describing his feeling of using HV-1 to experience fully immersive VR technology.

[First of all, this is not an advertisement. Tickets for the press conference are so difficult to get, and I spent a lot of effort to get them. If I want to come to Warwick Group and Xingkong Technology, I don’t need a small director to advertise for them. 】

[Speaking directly about the intuitive feeling, as the world's first publicly sold neuro-connected virtual reality device, the HV-1 equipped with the phantom system has already rendered the virtual reality world to the extreme. Compared with other products, there is no other product on the market to refer to. Now I only have to wait for the helmets released by Rice Group at the end of the month before I can do a complete evaluation and compare which helmets are more cost-effective. 】

[In terms of price, the price of 12,000 is definitely not cheap, but in fact it is the price of some mid-to-high-end laptops. It is completely worthwhile to spend 12,000 to buy a world in my opinion. In fact, I have noticed that some people in the second-hand market have fired the helmet at a sky-high price of 200,000 yuan, and it seems that the market also recognizes this price. 】

[Of course, I don’t recommend my fans to buy from second-hand channels. After all, Huawei Group will soon manufacture a batch of helmets next month. When the supply meets the gap in the market, everyone will have the opportunity to embrace this illusory and beautiful second. world. 】

[Let's talk about feelings! I can't describe this feeling in words at all, it is brand new, pioneering, beyond my understanding of the Internet and the virtual world! Many of you should have watched Ready Player One, and I bet you that the experience of it will never be inferior to that presented in the movie of Ready Player One! You can even lie down and play while sitting, and your eyes will never get tired. All images are generated directly on the optic nerve! 】

[Of course, as a filmmaker, virtual reality technology has inspired me to think more about the future film industry. Maybe it won’t be long before we will stand in the world of movies through a new, immersive way of watching movies...]

In less than an hour since this article was posted, it has been maxed out on the scarf, on Weihu, on the circle of friends, and everywhere there are people.

There are only one million helmets on the market, and the online sales will not start until the early hours of the night. However, there are more than tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people who are looking forward to this helmet across the country and even around the world.

The fantasy of virtual reality technology can be said to have a long history.

As early as many years ago, in the sci-fi blockbusters depicting the future world, people can see people's imagination of the fully immersive VR technology. And I believe that in the distant future, the space in reality will no longer be the boundary that limits people's vision, and the infinite information will make people's thinking broaden a whole dimension.

Now that this technology has finally moved from the laboratory to reality, almost everyone who has made the Internet a part of their lives is eager to know what kind of experience this so-called second heaven is like.

According to the statistics of major search platforms, the search volume for keywords such as virtual reality, phantom system, HV-1, etc. has steadily surpassed other keywords.

At this moment, unimaginable enthusiasm broke out.

Frantically digging every bit of information about it, just to learn more about it before embracing this coming new age...

...

The product launch event was originally planned to last until 5 pm.

As a result, no one expected that it would end early at three o'clock.

There was no other reason. Because the prices on the second-hand platform kept hitting new highs, some people even took the high-speed train from the neighboring city to buy it. As a result, there were more and more people at the scene, and the crowd had to be evacuated to avoid major accidents.

As for another more direct reason, the 100,000 helmets were almost sold out by three o'clock.

For those who made a trip in vain, it is hard to say where they will not vent their dissatisfaction...

Even Huawei Group, which hosted the press conference, did not expect that the offline sales would be so hot.

Although they had expected that the world's first neuro-connected virtual reality helmet would be a hit, and even made a special filing with the police, they still didn't expect to exaggerate to such an extent...

The daytime press conference ended with a bang.

Ten p.m.

The headquarters of Huawei Group is still brightly lit.

Especially in the sales department, a group of people are already sitting in front of the computer in full battle, meticulous about the screen in front of them, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

In two hours, 900,000 helmets will be listed on the official website.

What makes people laugh and cry is that there are still two hours before the sale begins, and the huge number of visits has already flooded in like a rising tide.

From the number of IP visits, it can be clearly seen that someone is constantly refreshing the webpage, as if this can be used to catch leaks in advance.

Thinking of the news that came from Shanghai during the day, the project director in charge of the HV-1 helmet felt that the burden on his shoulders was like carrying a stone of hundreds of catties, even if he drank one cup after another. Sipping coffee, there was no relief at all.

The time passed minute by minute, and the pointer finally approached the twelve o'clock position.

The employee sitting in front of the computer looked at the time on the screen and said excitedly.

"Boss, the time is almost up!"

Putting down the coffee in his hand, the project director nodded, controlled the excitement in his tone, and ordered with a serious and calm expression.

"Let our product go live!"
