Chapter 1546: Chapter 1388: Struggling to Survive in the Cracks

United States.

Ge Family.

Chinese New Year is approaching.

Ge Family Manor is brightly lit and decorated, filled with the strong atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Every year, the Ge Family holds grand celebrations to remind themselves not to forget their status, while not celebrating any American holidays at all.

In the courtyard where the patriarch Ge Zhong resides.

Several people are having tea.

"This Tang Qing really knows how to stir things up," Ge Zhong’s brother said with a smile after reading the news.

Ge Zhong said, "Stirring things up is good; otherwise, why would we invest in him? I didn’t pay attention when reading the report earlier, and I never expected holographic projection to come into play—it really took me by surprise."

"How did he achieve it, exactly?"

"Not sure, we only have limited access to information, Tang Qing won’t share technical details with us. That’s fine by me. I’m just worried that the technology could easily be copied," Ge Zhong expressed his concern.

Imitation.

Plagiarism.

But there are no boundaries for these.

"That’s indeed an issue."

"Forget it, no use worrying about it. Tang Qing is the controlling shareholder. Even after going public, he still holds absolute control. He cares more about this than we do. I wonder about the application scenarios and the costs."

"How about asking Zhou You?"

Ge Zhong paused for a moment.

He shook his head.

"No, let’s wait for the press conference. We’ll find out then. I expect Tang Qing will demonstrate it in person. It’s good timing; I haven’t left the manor in a long time. The world changes too quickly, and it’s hard to keep up."

"..."

...

The next day.

Early morning.

The media is abuzz.

"Hong Kong Stocks set a new record! Market value hits over thirty billion US dollars on the first day of listing!"

"..."

"Comet Group has become the second highest-valued internet company in Huaxia, Penguin drops to third, and Baidu is squeezed out of the top three. Due to this, both stocks fell by more than two percent yesterday."

"..."

"A new Chapter in the Huaxia internet landscape."

"..."

"Several investment companies and families in Hong Kong express optimism about Comet Group and intend to strengthen their holdings of Comet Group stocks. Next Monday, the group’s stock price may experience a new round of surges."

"..."

"Microcrystalline Technology makes a major move: the future starts with holographic projection."

"..."

"According to US media, Microcrystalline Technology will hold a holographic projection product launch later this month."

"..."

Huaxia’s major media successively reported the listing of Comet Group and holographic projection. Hearing that the mainland has birthed the second internet company with a market value exceeding thirty billion US dollars, a sense of pride emerged spontaneously.

Of course.

There was also some disappointment.

Because ordinary people can’t buy stocks listed in Hong Kong.

Let alone, it’s not just the Comet Group that’s inaccessible, but Microcrystalline Technology and Qingyuan Technology are also out of reach for ordinary people in the domestic market, which is quite frustrating.

And as for holographic projection.

Everyone just treats it as a spectacle.

Because once they see the price, they realize they can’t afford it. A new technology takes time to become affordable for the average person. Since they can’t afford it, they quickly shift their focus.

Ordinary people don’t care much.

But those with vision can see great business opportunities in it.

Holographic projection.

Even with just a single color, it has a wide range of application scenarios.

Office.

Social Interaction.

Technology.

Movie.

Advertisement.

...

Too many to count.

The biggest impact might be on the advertising industry. When flat ads become three-dimensional, when content comes out of the screen, the derived business value is immeasurable.

Look at the movies.

Most people’s visions of the future, more or less, involve holographic projection technology, be it at home, the office, outdoors, in scientific research, personal goods, military equipment, transportation, media...

Technology is immature.

Yet it has already inspired countless application scenarios in people’s imaginations.

As long as the price is right.

This will definitely be a revolution.

...

Light Media.

Headquarters.

The Chairman has convened an emergency meeting.

"I suggest that we immediately establish a division for holographic projection advertising, expand new application scenarios based on existing ones, and strive to take the lead in the field of holographic advertising."

"I agree."

"Agree."

"..."

"The biggest issue right now is the cost of equipment, hence this department is temporary for now. After the press conference, we will decide on the feasibility of the future holographic advertising business based on the situation."

If the equipment is too expensive.

The application scenarios will be significantly reduced.

...

Japan.

Sharp Headquarters.

President Katayama Hideo looks serious.

"The emergence of holographic projection will definitely impact the display market, and we must understand the limits of this technology, and whether it can achieve full-color HD 3D realism."

A vice president grimaces, "How is that possible, projection clarity can never match that of screens."

"Exactly, air projection can’t possibly compare with screen clarity in terms of resolution. As for realism, I think their technology isn’t mature enough, the particles in projection light are quite large."

"Exactly..."

"Gentlemen, although I agree, I must remind you all not to underestimate Tang Qing’s knack for creating miracles. Even if his technology isn’t perfect, we should prepare for a possible transformation."

"Is there a way to buy the technology?"

"Do you think Tang Qing would sell it?"

"What about a partnership?"

"That’s possible. In terms of optoelectronics research and development strength, Microcrystalline Technology is relatively weak. I will have someone make contact after the meeting. If there is good news, I will notify everyone."

"..."

...

Two major news stories.

Have put Tang Qing’s name back in the limelight in Huaxia’s media and made a splash internationally once more. Thirty billion dollars—it made the eyes of people in neighboring countries red with envy, that’s a lot of money.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Tang Qing is happy.

Penguin is quite distressed, including its investors. Previously, Penguin was the highest market value internet company in Huaxia, Baidu the second, Ali the third, sitting steadfast at the top of industry big shots.

With the massive user base of QQ supporting them.

They could scrape a living off anyone’s plate, life was sweet.

But.

Just two years.

They experienced what it’s like when fortune turns.

First overtaken by Ali.

Now trampled by Comet Group.

Once Qingyuan Technology goes public, they will undoubtedly be further ground into the dust. That is to say, from first place they’ve been squeezed out of the top three, and all these top three have connections with Tang Qing.

First became fourth.

Who can stand this?

Hoping to wake from this nightmare soon, relying on Tang Qing’s company to go bankrupt seems unlikely, or for a strategic mistake enabling them a counterattack, but having seen the holographic projection, this wish also faded.

Tang Qing’s moves.

Have never been within their predictions. Reality has once again proven that Tang Qing is adept at ’acting first, talking later’—with no forewarning before action, and once he succeeds, it’s all too late.

Holographic projection.

The Epoch mobile phone.

Even WeChat was the same.

If this continues.

In the future, Penguin might really be relegated to ’struggling to survive.’

This year.

They are destined to have a bad time.
