727 VRcity Plan (1/2)
In a small villa with a wide backyard in Florida, a man was preparing to go to work when his wife suddenly ran to him with a tablet.
”Honey, check this out.”
”What's the matter, my dear? Let me see...” The man took the tablet from his wife's hands with a smile. He casually glanced at the news. However, two seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't believe it. He mumbled, ”God, the world's first VR merchandise exhibition, hundreds of millions of people participating in the grand event on the same stage. It will no longer just be enterprises - consumers are also allowed to participate.”
The idea of hosting an exposition on the VR platform was undoubtedly a wild idea. However, no one doubted whether Future Technology had the capability. When this news was announced for the first time, almost all netizens felt their expectations lifting, and all the businessmen were keenly aware of the business opportunities.
This would break the business-to-business limitations in previous expositions, connecting businesses, and business through B2B while connecting businesses and consumers through B2C. The Expo would no longer just be a procurement conference for companies but would also be a promotional event for the products themselves!
”I must go to the company quickly. The boss will definitely be interested in this news.” The man kissed his wife on her forehead. He put the tablet in his briefcase and immediately rushed to the garage.
…
From large machinery, motorcycles, auto parts, chemical products, clocks, and watches, to kitchen utensils, ceramics, home decorations, medical equipment, menswear, and office stationery... This global merchandise expo covered almost every aspect of life and production. Over 500,000 pieces of goods would be exhibited and the duration of the exhibition was more than five months.
When McMillan proposed this proposal, Jiang Chen immediately agreed to his conditions without hesitation.
Scan 300,000 items for Walmart to enter the VRstore, and in the future, Walmart would be given the same priority as the other seven other e-commerce companies. For Future Technology, it was nothing difficult.
They would expand their staff and improve the efficiency of VR image production...
The monthly scanning quota would be raised to 400,000. The quota of 150,000 would be allocated to Walmart every month, just enough to meet their 300,000 target. The additional 100,000 units would be allocated to the VR Merchandise Exhibition, as long as the 500,000 items were scanned within five months.
If this merchandise exhibition was successful, it would definitely be a win-win situation for VRstore and Walmart!
”Socializing and shopping - we can integrate the two! I suddenly thought of a brilliant idea!” Standing in Jiang Chen's office, after reporting on the progress of the exposition, Ning Huajian suddenly began to sell to Jiang Chen his own idea.
”What idea?” Jiang Chen put down the file in his hands.
”Based on Godly Land, we can add a third function to the VRstore! Virtual City!”
”What's the difference between this and our 'virtual mall mode'?” asked Jiang Chen.
”The difference is huge!” said Ning Huajian with excitement. ”The virtual mall is a group shopping mode based on the friend system of the Phantom Helmet, similar to 'Lan.' The concept I proposed is more like an MMORPG.”
Upon hearing the word MMORPG, Jiang Chen suddenly understood what he meant. His eyes were filled with light.
”You mean…”
”Yeah! We can build a virtual city that will dynamically expand with the number of users, just like in Godly Land!”
”When shopping, people can also exchange ideas with users who are also shopping, become friends and invite each other into their own private spaces. Not only that - when users meet their social needs in the virtual city, we can launch virtual prop buying features such as houses, cars, furniture, clothes, kitchen utensils... Before purchasing these things in the world, users can buy them in the virtual world as a trial.”
