Analog company starts with technology

After Gu Wenyu left the office with confidence, Niu Geng once again plunged into intense work.

certainly.

For such an important matter as developing a vaccine, Niu Geng could not put all his hopes on Gu Wenyu. After all, sometimes manpower was limited.

Perhaps the experience and knowledge of Gu Wenyu and the entire research team can crack the new virus discovered this time and develop a corresponding vaccine, but the time it takes is an unpredictable number.

If the process does not go smoothly, it may take half a year to develop.

By that time, the situation will only become increasingly uncontrollable.

You must know that viruses can easily mutate when they spread among human individuals. For example, the currently known zombie viruses have a certain degree of infectivity, but their fatality rate is very small. If mutations occur during the spread, the fatality rate is said to be It may increase significantly.

By then, people's level of panic will definitely be amplified, and it will not be that easy to stabilize the situation.

So in addition to asking Gu Wenyu to use Xingling's computing power to crack the zombie virus and develop the corresponding vaccine, Niu Geng was also ready to use optimization points.

Since the last fund settlement, Niu Geng just used optimization points to build a smart surgical cabin.

Basically nothing is wasted.

According to the standards for developing a universal anti-cancer drug last time, it is not a problem to come up with a vaccine, even if all the remaining optimization points are hit.

As long as the time for vaccine development can be shortened and society can restore stability as soon as possible, it will be worthwhile.

In the next few days, Jingzhou City officially entered the closed operation stage. The once bustling shopping malls and streets now have almost no human presence, much like the big cities that have become very deserted around the Spring Festival.

It gives people an indescribable sadness.

Although Jingzhou City is not as prosperous and lively as first-tier cities such as the Magic City and Imperial City, because of the special existence of Xingyuan Technology, its development in the past two years is no weaker than that of big cities. In particular, it has attracted a lot of foreign tourists. Before the virus broke out, Before, everyone knew it.

But now I can't find anyone on the street. Such a huge gap would make even an outsider feel uncomfortable.

In addition, in the past few days, the number of patients infected with the zombie virus has also shown an explosive growth.

Whether it is the Jingzhou People's Hospital, which was the first to receive patients, or the smaller Second and Third Hospitals, there is a shortage of beds and medical equipment.

to this end.

After the above decision, Jingzhou Xingyuan Cancer Prevention and Treatment Hospital was listed as a special hospital dedicated to treating patients.

As for the original patients in the hospital, they will all be transferred to other hospitals.

This can ensure that there will be no further transmission between patients and patients infected with the zombie virus can recover as soon as possible under this safe treatment state.

Moreover, Xingyuan Cancer Prevention and Treatment Hospital, as a hospital under Xingyuan Technology, has the largest number of smart surgical cabins, which can more effectively relieve patients' symptoms.

Also, Xingyuan Cancer Prevention and Treatment Hospital was originally a hospital specializing in treating cancer patients. After the introduction of Pfaff Injection, all the cancer patients in the hospital met the discharge standards because of Pfaff Injection.

Later, just to prevent medical resources from being wasted, other types of patients began to be treated.

It is the most appropriate time to become a special hospital for treating people infected with the zombie virus.

Unfortunately, although Jingzhou City has implemented very good measures in this regard, the zombie virus has a certain degree of latent potential, which means that many infected people have entered other cities before Jingzhou City was officially closed. Now, it is no longer possible to completely control the virus within Jingzhou City.

And just as Niu Geng expected, patients infected with the zombie virus were soon discovered in cities near Jingzhou City, and then quickly spread to other cities.

Cases have even appeared in international cities such as the magical capital of Yangcheng.

Although the number of patients is far from comparable to that of Jingzhou City, it has also caused panic among the people.

In some supermarket malls, you can see people rushing to buy supplies everywhere, and there are no products on the huge supermarket shelves.

However, even under this situation, many cities still allocated medical resources to support Jingzhou City.

In addition, many corporate celebrities on the Internet have also made donations.

Regardless of whether it can be of effective help, it finally gives everyone some comfort.

And in the process of dealing with the virus in major cities, the companion robot developed by Xingyuan Technology has also made a huge contribution.

In addition to promptly discovering and subduing patients infected with the zombie virus, they also served as community workers, transporting supplies to households that lacked daily necessities.

After all, if these two tasks are completed by ordinary people, the risk of infection will inevitably increase. It is undoubtedly the safest way to leave it to robots. You must know that the materials donated by Xingyuan Technology include a large number of companion robots.

…

Saturday, June 15th.

Today can definitely be called the gloomiest day for mankind.

Because in order to prevent the virus from spreading further and causing an uncontrollable situation, major cities have officially decided to take the same measures as Jingzhou City.

In addition to traffic control, all entertainment venues and gathering activities were suspended. Basically overnight, all businesses and shops had their rolling doors closed.

Although this decision has had a huge impact on many industries, it is also a last resort.

But wherever there is bad news, there is good news.

Under the leadership of Gu Wenyu, Xingyuan Biotechnology quickly developed a reagent that can detect zombie viruses. In this way, zombie virus infected persons lurking in the crowd can be detected in advance through the reagent and isolated. treatment to ensure the situation does not get worse.

With such rapid progress, even Niu Geng was quite surprised after learning the news.

Because he knew very well that he did not provide any help in the actual research and development. It can be said that it was entirely the credit of Gu Wenyu and the entire research and development team.

Perhaps Xing Ling's help was used in the process, but it can still be regarded as a great achievement.

Especially after this good news was announced online, it immediately aroused heated discussion among everyone.

Nearly everyone was filled with excitement and excitement.

Perhaps it’s because everyone is staying at home and not going out, unlike usual times when they are busy with work, which has led to a significant increase in the number of netizens.

The video playback volume of some video websites has frequently exceeded the highest record.

"This is the best news I've heard in a while."

"The star source creature is awesome."

"As expected of a company that can develop a highly effective anti-cancer drug like Pfaff Injection, it really did not disappoint us all."

"With this reagent, I believe the situation will be under control soon."

"Although I used to like staying at home and not going out, this time I hope to go out early."

"Now every day I only eat, sleep, or watch videos and read novels. Life is really boring, and my weight has skyrocketed."

"At this time, staying at home is the greatest contribution an individual can make."

"Do you want to play tomorrow? Let's form a team and play black together!"

"Now all the movie theaters are closed. There were several movies waiting to be watched, but they probably won't be released. It's really a pity."

…

That's right.

As netizens said, the closure of movie theaters has indeed caused a major blow to the film and television industry.

In particular, the theater chain has to bear huge losses.

After all, the film can be postponed, but every day the theaters are closed, real money is lost.

For this reason, the theater chain has also held multiple video conferences to discuss how to minimize the losses of the theater chain without violating the regulations.

Imperial capital.

Wanda Film and Television.

As the person in charge of the theater chain, Zeng Maolin looked at the figures of his subordinates displayed on the computer screen and said slightly haggardly: "I think everyone is very clear about the situation of the theater chain now, but the more under this situation, the more difficult it is to The more we cannot relax, we must always be prepared for the reopening of theaters.”

Although Zeng Maolin's words were full of motivation and encouragement, others were particularly worried under the huge pressure of reality.

As soon as Zeng Maolin finished speaking, he saw that Hu Dongfei had obtained the right to speak, and couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Zeng, this is the first time we have encountered such a situation of collective closure of theater chains. Will the theater chain industry never recover from this?"

“Can Wanda still maintain its position in the industry by then?”

Hu Dongfei's worry is not unreasonable, mainly because no one knows how long the theater chain will be closed. If the time is too long, the worst results will occur. Large areas of the hospital were completely closed.

Even if business resumes by then, I am afraid that the number of theaters it has will not be comparable to before.

As a result, the industry's leading position is bound to be unsafe.

But in order to ensure that the theater can operate normally after the zombie virus is eliminated, the group must provide sufficient funds.

This is also a big pressure for the entire group.

Wanda Group's development in recent years has not been very good. Not only has it owed huge debts to banks, but it has also suffered losses in many industries.

In such a difficult situation, it is indeed not that easy to spend huge sums of money to ensure the normal operation of theater chains.

Even if the situation is worse, the group may directly abandon the entire theater chain.

However, Zeng Maolin didn't seem to be worried at all, and immediately replied: "Our Wanda theater chain is not the only one that was forced to close down. Several other theater chains also suffered from the same situation. Our situation is not very good, and they have How can it be better?"

"When the theater chain reopens, we will basically be on the same starting line. What's more, the higher authorities will not just watch the decline of the film and television industry, and will definitely provide great support when the time comes."

"Tell me, just think about it."

"Users have been staying at home for such a long time. When the ban is lifted, they will definitely engage in retaliatory consumption. With so many excellent film sources accumulated, there is no reason not to watch them. Maybe we can create a few high-grossing films."

Because of what happened last time at Mechanical Dawn, Zeng Maolin's status within the group has declined.

He has even heard some news that he will be transferred to other positions.

If it hadn't been for the zombie virus that caused all theaters to close down, he would probably no longer be the person in charge of the theaters.

For others, this incident may cause heavy losses, but Zeng Maolin seems to be a good opportunity. If he can seize it and achieve good results in all aspects after the theater chain opens, perhaps His position can be kept.

Even going further is not impossible.

Anyway, he has no way out, so naturally he won't worry about failure.

After listening to Zeng Maolin's explanation, other people who participated in this video conference were still a little worried, but they had to say that they could only maintain this optimistic attitude for now.

at the same time.

Hu Dongfei, who was staying at home, was now very active.

It can be said that he is Zeng Maolin's right-hand man, and the two of them have been working together for several years. It can be said that they have fully grasped the leader's preferences and personality.

This can ensure that he will make no mistakes in the company and rise steadily.

But now he has to think about his future.

Should he continue to hug Zeng Maolin's lap and help him stabilize his position, or should he wait patiently for the new leader to come over.

But what is certain is that when a new leader comes to the company, everything is unknown.

As the saying goes, once an emperor, once a minister, as the old leader's right-hand man, there is a high probability that he will not be reused by the new leader. This means that his future is likely to be interrupted, which is something Hu Dongfei absolutely does not want to see.

So in this situation, he only had one choice left.

That is……

Becoming a grasshopper on a rope with Zeng Maolin.

Naturally, everyone is happy if they win, but even if they lose, they will just be ostracized and left out by the new leader.

There's not much difference essentially.

So after thinking carefully for a moment, Hu Dongfei finally made his decision to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Hu Dongfei no longer hesitated and immediately responded into the microphone:

"Mr. Zeng is right. This is a good opportunity for us. If we can seize it, Wanda Cinema can not only regain the market share it lost before, but also completely achieve its leading position in the industry."

With the mutual cooperation of Zeng Maolin and Hu Dongfei, the other people participating in this video conference no longer had any problems in their hearts, and their original decadent mood was suddenly wiped away.

It was as if he had been beaten to death, and there was only one thought left in his mind.

Follow Mr. Zeng’s footsteps and become the winner of this war without smoke.

When the video conference ended, no one noticed that Zeng Maolin's expression was full of coldness, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he finally spoke in a cold voice and whispered: "The winner this time will definitely belong to me."

——

Zeng Maolin did have a good idea, thinking that he could completely turn around with the help of this disaster.

But what he didn't know was that some directors were not willing to let the films they worked so hard to shoot sink.

Especially for many films that are about to be released, sufficient publicity work has been done in the early stage, and the financial cost is also very large. Now due to the zombie virus, the movie has been closed due to the zombie virus, which means that all the films in the early stage have no way to be released. All investment in publicity was wasted.

Under this circumstance, when the theater reopens in the future, I don’t know how many people will be able to remember this movie.

The box office results will definitely be disappointing.

The only way to solve this problem is to let the film be released as expected.

So under this trend, these directors finally set their sights on a completely new field.

That is, a virtual theater on a smart terminal.

I remember that when the first science fiction movie "Dawn of the Machine" invested by Xingyuan Technology was released, due to the low film schedule, Xingyuan Technology finally played the movie in a virtual theater on its own smart terminal.

Although the price was only half of a normal movie ticket, the final total box office performance of Dawn of the Machines made many people jealous.

The fact that "Dawn of the Machine" has such high box office results, in addition to the quality of the movie itself, also shows that the traffic of the virtual theater channel is not weaker than that of offline theaters.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the penetration rate of smart terminals in China is now very high.

Even if it is not as good as previous traditional smartphones, it can still be seen everywhere.

More importantly, virtual cinemas are different from offline cinemas in that their coverage is global. If a movie is played online in a virtual cinema, in addition to domestic users who need to pay to watch, overseas users are also included.

Calculating this, even if the film is not released in traditional theaters and chooses the online module alone, the final box office results will definitely not be much worse.

In particular, Xingyuan Technology has not developed into the film and television industry, which has resulted in a very small number of film sources on the virtual cinema. If a large number of new film sources appear in it at this time, it will definitely attract the attention of users.

It was precisely when those directors discovered such an opportunity that they came up with the idea of ​​​​abandoning the offline physical theaters of their new movies and switching to online viewing for a fee.

In this way, it not only ensures that the early publicity investment will not be in vain, but also achieves considerable box office results.

In the past, even with the movie "Dawn of the Machine" as a stepping stone, most directors would never dare to easily release their films in virtual theaters.

After all, if the final box office results are not satisfactory, no one can bear this responsibility.

But as the saying goes, today is different from the past.

Now that all theaters are closed, launching virtual theaters has become the most suitable choice for various producers.

Otherwise, the films in hand will be backlogged indefinitely.

What's more, let's not say when theaters will be able to reopen. By then, a large number of excellent film sources will be released at once. I'm afraid no one is sure how much box office they can get under such strong competitive pressure.

Instead of waiting for a long time to take the risk, it is better to take a gamble right now.

In any case, the film "Dawn of the Machine" invested and filmed by Xingyuan Technology has indeed achieved the best box office results in the history of movies. Even if the quality of their movie is not as good as "Dawn of the Machine", it is definitely not too far behind.

In this matter, Guo Yifan is undoubtedly the one who has the most say.

People who are in the film and television industry know a lot of directors and producers around them, so after the theater chain officially closed down, instead of relaxing much, Guo Yifan became even busier.

I receive calls from colleagues almost every day.

Perhaps thinking that he is also a filmmaker, Guo Yifan did not refuse anything in this matter, and gave everyone a detailed answer about the virtual cinema situation.

In the end, he was recommended by several directors, and he acted as an intermediary to negotiate with Xingyuan Technology to discuss the release of the movie in the virtual theater.

In Guo Yifan's view, it is not a bad thing to enrich the film sources of virtual cinemas.

Maybe it can also promote the development of the entire industry and give it new vitality.

Therefore, when faced with the suggestions of various directors, he did not choose to refuse. He found a suitable time and made a video call to Niu Geng.

If the situation in Jingzhou City hadn't been serious and the entire Longfor Park was under lockdown, Guo Yifan would have made the trip in person just for this matter.

…

this day.

Niu Geng was sitting in his office, looking at the experimental data and research reports reported by Gu Wenyu.

I thought that when the research team led by Gu Wenyu had a clear understanding of the zombie virus and began to develop a vaccine, I would use optimization points to help them through Xingling.

This is to ensure that the vaccine is available as soon as possible and ends this human disaster.

And when he was immersed in it, Xing Ling's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Master, Guo Yifan has applied for a video call with you. Do you need to take over?"

Guo Yifan?

Hearing the sound, Niu Geng raised his eyes and repeated the name Xing Ling said, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

I couldn't help but murmured: "Why is he looking for me at this time?"

But doubts were doubts. Since Guo Yifan took the initiative to contact him despite knowing the current situation, he must have had something special. Thinking of this, Niu Geng no longer hesitated and responded directly to Xing Ling:

"Take it over."

"It's the master."

After receiving Niu Geng's order, Xing Ling nodded in response, and a three-dimensional figure was suddenly projected in the office, which was Guo Yifan's own image.

Niu Geng looked at the avatar in front of him and asked directly: "Director Guo, is there anything important to contact me at this time?"

"That's right, Mr. Niu, because all theaters have been closed recently, and there are many domestic movies that I hope can be played in virtual theaters."

Guo Yifan knew very well that Niu Geng's time was precious, so he did not hesitate in the face of the inquiry and directly stated his intention.

Upon hearing this answer, Niu Geng's heart suddenly moved.

As a special existence on smart terminals, virtual cinema should be able to provide users with a better service experience. However, the company has not been able to develop into film and television, thus burying its powerful functions.

So far, only one theatrical blockbuster, Robot Dawn, has been released.

If offline theaters are closed due to the closure of virtual theaters, it would be a good choice to allow virtual theaters to better serve users.

What's more, now that all users are staying at home, they can watch the latest movies, which at least won't make them boring.

Just yesterday, several author friends besides me who published books with me all chose to finish. We published books together, signed contracts and recommended them together, and the results were not much different. Unexpectedly, I was the only one left to persist in the end. I always feel a little lost in my heart. (This month, we will strive to guarantee a minimum of 6,000 per day and hit the target of 10,000. I hope you can continue to support me. Thank you very much!)
