MTL - Returning from the Low-Magic World, I Created My Own Artificial Intelligence

  Chapter 475 Swarming In - The Shock of the Beauty Industry

  In a venue, it looks very simple, there is not even a special conference table, a group of people just stand or sit around the sofa.

  Many people were still lighting cigarette butts or smoking cigars, making the scene smoky.

  The expressions of this group of people are obviously very dignified, many of them can even be described as ferocious, and the tone of some people's mouths is also full of emotions.

   "Lawless! Lawless!"

   "How dare they!"

   "Damn it, a company, why? Since it is relying on the country of Mexico, then we will push it directly!"

"us…"

"enough!"

   When a group of people kept attacking, they stopped temporarily with a bang.

  An old man who was sitting in a wheelchair but looked very energetic glanced around.

  Although his hair is all white and he looks very old, he still seems to have a lot of authority on the scene.

  If someone who knows this group of people appears here, you can find that these are some big and beautiful top bank talkers, and there are several people from the Federal Reserve and the IMF.

   Really stomping can shake the world economy.

   And they appeared here at this time, not because of the financial system problems that erupted after Damei invaded New York, nor were they some disposals related to Neon and South Korea.

   It is purely Umbrella's new 'credit point' system.

  They can feel the threat under this system!

   This threat is far greater than the threat of other currencies to the dollar!

  Because it controls food, binds bulk resources such as minerals, and owns oil dollars, the dollar has always occupied a very important proportion of international currencies.

   Some or even most of the money earned by everyone in the world is taken away by Damei.

  Although it seems that the euro occupies a large proportion on the surface, in fact, the euro is more due to the internal circulation of the EU and the large transaction volume related to the EU, so the proportion of the euro appears to be high.

   In terms of real circulation, Meidao still occupies an important position.

  The U.S. dollar did bring down the pound, so they can know what is a threat and what is not.

  The sudden credit point, even if it is only a 'point' for the time being, has already shown enough threat and resilience!

  Actually, as far as capital is concerned, it doesn't mean that it must be tied to Damei.

  But just like the relationship between the organization and Damei, the **** is too deep at present, and one is prosperous and the other is damaged.

  So consensus can still be reached on some general directions.

   It's just that other different choices and actions will appear when it comes to self-interest.

  This group of bankers is actually the same.

  The assets in their hands are all US knife assets, and they cannot accept the impact of US knife being challenged!

  That's why Damei was able to pass so quickly when it targeted Iraq, and it could easily put down internal contradictions.

  If Umbrella divides the benefits of the ‘credit point’ and everyone eats fruit together, maybe some cutting-edge chaebols and high-tech groups will show their support in turn.

  However, Umbrella used to do some fruit-sharing things before, but since her full wings showed her fangs, she rarely gave in any more!

   "Now we have not been able to stabilize all our own problems. First gather allies, and other parties can also be drawn together. Challenge the existing order, and there is a price to pay."

  The old man in the wheelchair tapped the ground with his cane, but he seemed very calm.

  There is no rush for this matter, Umbrella is not Iraq, and we must take a long-term plan...

  …

   Regardless of all aspects of meeting in secret.

  Anyway, after Umbrella proposed the new "credit point" mechanism, many people who have silver on hand, or those who are obsessed with buying robots, also choose the "credit point" point exchange.

  However, under the control of Umbrella's own silver reserves, silver did not skyrocket.

Because the current 'credit points' can be exchanged for Umbrella's own things, anyway, the circulation of silver will eventually return to his own hands. At this stage, Umbrella has almost no control over the 'credit points' and silver. is infinite.

  No one has the upper hand and will speculate on the price of silver at this time.

  The wave of speculators who were killed by Umbrella earlier are still here.

  The new wave of sales of robots and VR platform equipment has once again caused many people to send out live broadcasts of show products.

  Especially in the current "Starry Sky World", this kind of super control performance, graphics and interactive NPC upgrades are really addictive.

  The immersion of the VR mode completely kills all other products!

  Even some people who didn’t play games at first started to get in touch because of the VR platform technology.

  After all, the scenery in "Starry Sky World" is also quite good, and now the games on the platform are limited, so naturally they all enter "Starry Sky World" in piles.

   Formed the second period of rapid player growth.

  Because of the open source of the VR platform itself, major game manufacturers have also announced that they will enter the VR platform and develop their own games.

   At present, it seems that the research and development capabilities are indeed incomparable, and it is very difficult to catch up with "Star World".

   But the question is whether everyone likes this kind of game, they can go to seize other leisure market!

  In addition to game companies, many software companies also expressed their intention to develop some corresponding application software to join the VR platform.

  This VR platform can also be connected with mobile phones.

   That is to say, it is very likely that those who wear Bluetooth headsets when going out in the future may replace them with a VR device on their heads!

  The torrent of the times is rolling forward. If you don’t want to be eliminated by the times, you must adapt.

  How many software service providers were eliminated because they did not follow up the mobile terminal in time?

  It will likely be the same in the future!

  Because the previous holographic bracelet platform is bound to a mobile phone, it can only be regarded as a derivative product of a smartphone. However, the current VR platform is completely different!

   "We will create the concept of 'Metaverse' on the VR platform and create our 'Metaverse' community! Let this place become a real second world!"

  A certain book, which claims to be the founder of the Lizardmen, also made a deafening cry.

   And he did it even more thoroughly, directly changing his company name to 'Metaverse'.

  In fact, he already had some ideas, but the hardware equipment could not keep up with it before. Now after seeing this VR platform, he immediately connected all his ideas.

  No matter what impact the "credit point" may bring, for these capitals, no matter whether there is an organization behind them or a beautiful government, they will inevitably swarm in for their own interests.

  A song, fruit, a special, a tube, etc., many companies and groups have announced.

  The same is true here in China, except for Penguin who has obtained the interface in advance, other Internet companies are no exception!

  Umbrella and World Corporation only need to hold the VR platform, that is, the more developers the better, they can all contribute to the VR platform, operate their own part well, and save the energy of Umbrella and World Corporation.

  In addition to the game aspects that Wang Yi attaches great importance to, the platform side only needs to formulate rules and collect taxes.

  Heh, the only technology, the only platform, letting you in is already showing mercy. If you don’t even collect taxes, is it really charity?

  And when the time is right, all consumption and transactions on the VR platform will also be priced in 'credit points'.

  The taxes paid must also be ‘credit points’...

   Chapter 623

  World Company Announcement:

  "Star World VR Edition will launch the first "Star Cup Mech Fighting Competition" to celebrate the version update!

   "Sign up now!

   "Participating players can DIY their own mechs. The following are the restrictions on the parameters and specifications of the mechas..."

  When there is a surge of wind and waves for the "credit point" and the VR platform in all aspects.

  Compared to the world company that has no affiliation with Umbrella, it is also carrying out some operations of its own step by step.

  The 'manly romance' inspired by the big pineapple can be said to have directly swept the global game circle recently.

   Various mecha control videos, competitions, and battles began to appear.

   It's just crazy.

  Every frame is a movie, various real versions of Gundam.

  Many players who hadn’t grabbed the VR platform originally queued like crazy after seeing these pictures, and then took out silver to exchange for ‘credit points’.

  Or directly use the exchange channel that the bank has opened to pay some additional "handling fees" to buy the financial product "credit point".

  The subsequent exchange process is all handed over to the bank.

  Although it is a bit more expensive, it is very convenient for those who do not have ready-made silver on hand.

  Besides, although the bank will charge a 'handling fee', the purchase of 'credit points' itself can be discounted by 10%, which is actually a small profit.

  Robots and VR platforms have recently become Umbrella's most popular products.

   Seamlessly transitions to the slightly less popular 'Tracker' EV.

  Even some car owners who were going to bite their teeth to buy the "Tracker" changed hands and took out the money to add some snapping robots.

  'Tracker' is cost-effective, and almost killed all cars with the same price or even a high price. From then on, the only cars in this price range are the Tracker and others!

   But even so, compared to the robots who started working to support their families later, the 'tracker' seems to be nothing.

   For those who can afford it, it is of course "I want it all", but in reality, the price is still under great pressure.

  You can't have both fish and bear's paw, so naturally you can only give up the fish and take the bear's paw.

   Relatively speaking, the equipment of the VR platform is much cheaper, although there are also more expensive sports versions.

  But the prices of 2999 and 6999 for the regular version and the deluxe version are very close to the people.

  Many people may not spend 2999 to buy a mobile phone, but if they buy a VR platform with such performance at 2999, they really don’t hesitate.

   Moreover, the production capacity of the VR platform is obviously much larger, and the production process is relatively simple.

  After the product has been released for so long, it has become popular again under the stimulation of "credit points".

   At this time, the first "Star Cup Mecha Fighting Competition" was born as the times require, and it happened to be on top of the momentum!

  …

"This Star Cup is the first large-scale event after the VR version appeared, so it must be beautiful. From the primary election to the final, we must strictly check, and we can even package these players into new ones. Business card, if you are willing, you can directly sign it and send it to the entertainment circle."

  Qian Yayan spoke with an extremely strong aura at the venue.

  The heroic OL outfit, combined with the glamorous face and delicate light makeup, plus this kind of aura, can be said to have a direct effect.

  While World Corporation itself has an entertainment company under its command, its own movie box office can be consecutively crowned, and the "Starry Sky" trilogy also complements the game.

   It can be said that the effect of this competition can be compared to those large-scale talent shows.

   Even better than the orthodox talent show!

   "In terms of other prizes, from the participation award to the finals, Umbrella's new products can be used. The champion can get the 'Sweeper' C-type robot, plus credit rewards. You can discuss the specific specifications yourself."

  Qian Yayan herself doesn't care too much about the details, she just sets the tone.

  The rest can be arranged clearly.

  World Company originally had its own entertainment company, its artists and IPs are quite capable, and there are many professionals, as well as TT as a source of traffic.

   How to warm up, how to make the name of this event, definitely has its own ability and means.

   "Mr. Qian, our relationship with Mr. Qin has always been good. He is also a well-known player in the game. I think we can ask him to promote it."

  The game planner of "Star World" raised his hand to ask for instructions.

   "Yes, I will contact him personally when the time comes."

  Qian Yayan nodded.

  She also knows that the Qin family has picked up such a big bargain now because it is related to her man, so it is very simple to say hello for such a small matter.

  Original relationship is to help each other.

   "Okay, the remaining departments of you discuss how to cooperate with each other, and then come up with a charter, and I will report to President Wang."

   After finishing speaking, Qian Yayan left the venue with a rattle on her high heels.

  A South Korean goblin stood at the door and respectfully opened the door for her, then followed behind.

   After Qian Yayan left, the atmosphere at the scene relaxed a little.

   "Hey, Mr. Qian's aura is getting stronger and stronger. It's really amazing. It doesn't look like she's only in her twenties."

   "Yeah, I still think that Qian has always become more beautiful. It's not flattery, it's true."

   "I heard that there is a Umbrella trial skin care lotion, I think I want it too~"

   "I don't know when it will come out."

   "Okay, let's get down to business, I don't dare to flatter when I'm around, but now I can't hear it~"

   "..."

  With Wang Yi's blessing, Qian Yayan not only has better skin and more beautiful skin, but also has a stronger memory, more flexible responses, and even a healthier body. In addition, being in a high position naturally makes her aura stronger and stronger.

  However, her strength could not be licked in front of Wang Yi.

  Taking two South Korean succubi to report to Wang Yi for an afternoon of work, after sending them away, he said to Wang Yi

   "When will Umbrella's skin care product come out? You don't know. I'm fine. But recently, someone attacked Miss Xiaoke, saying that she has plastic surgery too often."

  Qian Yayan waved her fist resentfully.

   Having seen Liu Xiaoke’s travel troubles after she became a big star, she almost did not appear in the media much like Wang Yi.

   So the trouble is still smaller.

  Although Liu Xiaoke has a huge backer here, the popular female star is still a young female star who quickly won the title of actress.

   It is impossible not to chew the tongue.

   This is absolutely unavoidable.

   It's just that Liu Xiaoke's personality doesn't care about these things, let alone come back and talk to Wang Yi.

  So Qian Yayan was a little bit annoyed.

   In fact, it already existed last time, but the relative fermentation is not as strong as it is now.

   "It should be soon. Since the "credit point" is launched, Umbrella should also launch some matching unique things."

   Wang Yi looked at Qian Yayan who was reapplying lipstick and couldn't help but smile.

  What he pursues is a gentle transition without completely overturning the table, so as to ensure that a full-scale war of annihilation will not break out in the end, and there will be no too much turmoil.

  So after the 'credit point' was just launched, this model was used instead of directly announcing that culture media, batteries and other products only accept 'credit points'.

  Moreover, for foreign purchases, it is not ambiguous to use a US dollar.

   But some things that can cause a relatively large impact, but not directly drive people crazy, become the only "member redemption product" of "credit points", of course it's okay.

  Beauty products that work great fit this positioning!

   Beauty is a woman's nature. Qian Yayan still likes to wear light makeup such as lipstick even with her current foundation.

  And when it comes to beauty, many women will appear a little fanatical or even crazy.

  This is not something that can be solved by saying that it cannot be 'materialized'.

  And in terms of the battle of public opinion and influence, you can also see their strength in various places such as Moute, Xiaohongshu, Weibo, etc.

  Typical spending a small amount of money to achieve big things.

   Uh, and it’s actually not ‘small’ anymore.

  The scale of global cosmetics is hundreds of billions of dollars every year...

  Chapter 624 The impact of the beauty industry

  Generally speaking, what products are most closely related to cutting-edge technology?

  Beauty and health care are well-deserved.

  Usually some concepts that are still in the laboratory, or the content of papers that have only been published with some guesses, will be applied to these two fields at once.

  What quantum, photon, graphene.

  Stem cells, regeneration, anti-aging.

  As long as you can think of words, you can appear in these two industries.

   Even when radium was first discovered, it was directly added to lipsticks and health care products. In order to ensure the "effect", opioids may be added to help "refresh".

   It's so pleasant after using it, isn't it the effect?

   Now, as various rules become more and more standardized, the relative danger is not so exaggerated.

  However, with the capital gaining power and relying on money to continue to pour money into some laboratories, some strange research will gradually appear in some cutting-edge journals.

  Perhaps what these studies themselves say is not wrong, but it is likely to be deliberately led in the desired direction.

   Then it was covered in various ways, and various strange words were added.

   No other.

   Too much profit!

  It’s like spectacle lenses can be sold by the pound, but you can make up a long gimmick prefix yourself.

  Even in the two or three years since the magic power was proposed, the beauty industry and the health care industry have already proposed many magic power packages.

  What magic essence, aura skin rejuvenation, magic beauty capsules and so on.

  Umbrella's various papers are frequently cited.

  Looking at the big posture, it feels like cooperating with Umbrella.

  However, there will be no clues...

  …

  In front of a luxury cosmetics counter, the salesperson is selling something to a man and a woman in front of him with a friendly smile on his face

"This lipstick uses the most cutting-edge magic crystallization technology. Umbrella has published it in the journal "Nature". The magic power has an obvious effect on anti-aging. Many top laboratories around the world have also published corresponding papers. And ours…”

   There was a man and a woman in front of him. The man had a shiny face and was a little bald. He looked in his forties, while the woman was pretty and charming, full of youthful vibes, and behaved intimately.

   Definitely belong to the highest quality customers. Judging from this teller's many years of experience, the probability of a successful negotiation is more than 70%.

  After working in the luxury goods counter for so long, her eyesight is also completely developed, and she can tell a lot of things at a glance.

  Those young couples from college came here just to see the world, and the whole body is less than a hundred yuan, so they don't bother to talk to each other at all.

   And this kind is an absolute big customer!

   "Oh dear, I want this one. It's the latest magic version. You know how useful magic is~"

   "Really? How much?"

  The bald man hesitated, but he couldn't stand the squeeze on his arm.

  Before, someone also sold him a magical health product that claimed to be able to strengthen X, and the effect was quite mediocre, not as good as the little blue pill. Now anything with magic power represents the price.

  Being bald is also doing business, and I am clear about the tone of it.

   Anyway, I have never seen Umbrella add magic gimmicks in front of his products!

   "Now is our special price period. The original price is 13888, and the current price is 8888. If you are willing to buy this set of magic beauty combination gift package, the original price of 88888 gift package is now only 68888."

  After hearing the words, the salesperson immediately showed a bright smile on his face. Not only did he quote the price of the previously recommended product, but he also took out a set of quite expensive combination gift bags.

  The sparkle of artificial diamonds on the gift box directly made the enchanting beauty's eyes hard to move away.

   "Honey~, I want this~"

  Although he knew that there must be a pitfall, the bald man still sighed when he thought of the bags he bought.

   "Depending on you..."

  But just as he was about to swipe his card, a piece of news was broadcast on the hanging TV in the mall.

  The TV programs that will be posted here are themselves on some beauty channels.

   It can be said that it is not a major news and will not be broadcast.

  But when I turned around and saw the content of the broadcast, I understood why.

   It's about Umbrella, and it seems to be about beauty products!

   is an Umbrella researcher interviewed by the media

   "Professor Mori, many beauty and health care products are now under the banner of magic power. Is there really any related technology?"

  The reporter's initial question was quite direct, going straight to the core.

   Immediately made the three people in front of the TV who were about to trade pause for a moment.

   "Hehe, it's their freedom to use whatever banner they use, but I don't think there is any magic technology. Now there are not a few laboratories that can use magic power practically, and even if there are, most of them are in other fields."

   Then the reporter began to ask again

   "Doesn't your company sell culture medium? This should also be regarded as the use of magic power? Many new medicines are based on this, and beauty products are probably made from the culture medium?"

  This program itself is not intended to tear down the stage, and even a little bit wants to forcibly put the beauty world and magic on it.

  Anyway, as long as the guidance is appropriate, it is completely fine.

   This time, in fact, the main reason is to increase the gimmick in the name of culture medium.

   Unfortunately, the guests themselves are from Umbrella, and it is impossible to manipulate them according to their script requirements.

   "That's right, but the whereabouts of the medium we sell is relatively clear. The pharmaceutical industry may have related research and development, but we have not given any quotas to the beauty and health care industries."

  As soon as this continuous question and answer came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

   It can be said that with the emergence of the concept of magic power, too many things will be involved in this.

  Even the fitness instructors in some gyms can speak some magic-related words fluently to let you buy lessons.

   Umbrella has never taken the initiative to clarify this kind of matter, it's not good to be cold.

   This is exactly the case, and gradually all aspects become more and more unscrupulous.

  The benefits are too great!

  An industrial product with a cost of just a few cents can be sold hundreds or thousands of times with a little packaging, and there is no such profit in selling contraband.

  This also means that Umbrella's first 'clarification' will affect a wide range of people.

   Those 'magic health clubs', 'magic skin rejuvenation', 'magic health care', etc. will all be severely impacted.

"However, the word magic power is not a patented vocabulary, and it is not illegal for others to use it, but the things in it have nothing to do with the concept of magic power. Of course, if they really research something, I think there will be big chaebols who will hire it at a high price. Theirs, though, apparently, did not…”

  Professor Sen's tone from Umbrella was flat, but the sense of looking down revealed in it could be felt across the screen.

  The faint disdain and ridicule directly made the men and women who were planning to buy almost simultaneously dispel the idea of ​​continuing to buy.

  Will be regarded as a stupid X...

   At the same time, these institutions, organizations, and companies that have enjoyed the magic bonus for so long have also jumped up.

   Hemp eggs!

   How did you say it!

  How can you do this!

  You eat meat, let's have some soup!

   "Can you be so sure?"

   The reporter who interviewed said with some doubts.

   "Of course, in fact, we also have some experimental products internally, but we just don't sell them to the outside world."

   While talking, he also gave an example

   "You should have an impression of the superstar Liu Xiaoke who became popular in the East recently, right?"

  The host nodded quickly

   "Of course, although the "Starry Sky" trilogy has not been able to be released globally, I have actually watched it, and it is quite good. Her acting skills have also improved significantly, and I feel that she is getting more and more beautiful."

  Beauty, at least for human beings, does not distinguish between races, and at most it is different in terms of aesthetics.

  But when the beauty reaches a certain level, no matter what race you are in, you will think it is beautiful.

   "Your sense should be that nothing went wrong, she's one of our in-house skincare product testers."

  After hearing this, the host was obviously surprised

   "Skin care products? I thought she had plastic surgery! Is it all the effect of your skin care products? I know she also endorsed lenses for your company at the beginning."

   "Yes, we have cooperated before we made our fortune, and in order to ensure the skin care test effect, we have signed some agreements that do not allow the use of other products and cosmetic surgery."

   Speaking of this, Professor Sen seemed to pause for a moment, and then took out a half-opened toothpaste-shaped sample without a logo from his carry-on bag.

   "This is what I use on weekdays, maybe you can try the effect."

  Professor Sen smiled and handed over the sample.

  At this time, the host signaled the camera to zoom in, and it was an unexpected discovery. Although Professor Sen's appearance is quite satisfactory, he is of mixed race of Mexican descent.

   But his skin is really good, and the high-definition camera keeps zooming in and can't see the slightest blemish on his face.

  The host said unexpectedly at this time

   "Oh, you don't have makeup on?"

   "Of course, what I do with makeup as a researcher is that my skin used to be oily, and I often had acne, which affected my mood, so I maintained it on a daily basis."

  ——

   Update completed~

   The credit points may be a little bit less handy, let me check the limelight first...
