You are a black technology boss, you didn't say it sooner!

Across the road, Lou Qingyan saw Deng Jianian through the transparent window.

He was leaning on the soft sofa in the coffee shop, exuding a leisurely elegance all over his body.His face was just as in Lou Qingyan's memory, handsome, with an innate elegance due to the mixed blood of the East and the West.

Oh, and the constant metal-rimmed glasses and expensive suits.

Lou Qingyan pushed open the door of the coffee shop, walked over to him and sat down.

"You're here." Deng Jianian didn't startle, and didn't even shake his head, "You're the only one?"

"What's the matter, you still dislike me?" Lou Qingyan said.

Deng Jianian pressed the button beside the table, and a waiter walked over immediately, "Hello, sir, what service do you need?"

"Drink something." He handed the menu to Lou Qingyan.

When the latter looked down at the menu, he said, "It seems that I won't be able to wait for him today."

Lou Qingyan ordered something, handed the menu to the waiter, and said, "Didn't I tell you, he is not someone you can meet whenever you want."

"Success," Deng Jianian raised his eyelids, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, just to catch up."

Lou Qingyan smiled and said, "Yuan Hui seems to be having a hard time recently."

Deep Space made a perfect comeback, and of course Yuan Hui, who was the first to pick things up, had a hard time.

Deng Jianian is the speaker of Yuanhui, and he insisted on presiding over the counterattack against the deep space. It can be said that today's situation is caused by him, so he has received a lot of pressure and attacks from inside and outside.

"It doesn't matter, those people just talk about it." He said, "It's not as good as a Lou Haochen who can make trouble."

"Lou Haochen can still do things now?"

"That guy," Deng Jianian sneered, "it's obvious that he's a coward. He's not just pretending to be a coward. He doesn't even know he's a clown on the stage."

"Why do you want to see Fire?" Lou Qingyan asked abruptly.

Deng Jianian did not hide from him, "Yuanhui has a deep deployment in the domestic VR industry, and we can fully cooperate with Deep Space."

"Deep Space now holds the right to speak in the VR ecosystem, just like Microsoft's position in the IT industry back then. Do you think it is possible for a small broken company in your country to discuss cooperation with Microsoft?"

Deng Jianian seemed to have never heard of his offense, and smiled: "You are wrong. Back then, Microsoft only mastered the entrance of computer software; today's Deep Space has both the underlying algorithms and core chips of VR. Back then, Microsoft had seen Apple. Mackintosh developed Windows after the Mackintosh, but today’s Deep Space can independently complete research and development at least five years ahead. Back then, Microsoft relied on winner-take-all time and time again to establish itself as the Roman Empire, but today’s Fire can Under the siege and interception of the whole world, there is a way that no one can do anything about. Fire's voice, technical weight, and overall strategy are far greater than you think."

"My ambition is much bigger than you think."

Lou Qingyan smiled, "You don't hide yourself."

"I never hide myself."

Lou Qingyan paused, then asked again: "The API is open to the whole industry, chips can be bought with money, you want to cooperate with fire, what can you cooperate with? He doesn't make VR content or VR hardware. "

"He just didn't do it before, and he will definitely do it in the future."

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course." Deng Jianian said, "Fire wants to promote the entire VR industry, and he chose a content-driven path."

"In order to enter VR, he must first open up the market. Among the various ways to open up the market, he chose content-driven. In order to make VR content flourish, he innovated content production tools."

"So now he will definitely boost the development of VR content regardless of the cost. It is his strategy to focus on content at this stage and hardware at the next stage."

Lou Qingyan took a deep look at him.

Deng Jianian's words seemed simple, but he got the idea in his heart.

Use content to promote the development of VR.

To put it bluntly, others thought that fire chose the direction of graphics first, and then started the VR era by mistake.

Deng Jianian saw at a glance that he chose to start with graphics in order to start the VR era.

There is a huge difference between the two, and the latter seems so understated, it is not an idea that ordinary people dare to have at all.

"You have a very high opinion of fire."

Deng Jianian was silent for a while, then said:

"When Jobs showed the Macintosh to Gates, they were both only 26 years old. At that time, Jobs was still complacent about inventing the Macintosh, and Gates was also excited about the imagination of the graphical interface replacing DOS. Surging, at that time, can they imagine that 30 years later, not only dos will be replaced, but even the graphical interface can be installed in a palm-sized mobile phone?"

"..." Lou Qingyan said slowly, "What do you mean?"

"I used to think that the development of the computer industry has long been mature, and there will be no glory of the Silicon Valley in the last century, let alone the vigorous development of mushrooms in the early days of technology, but fire appeared at this time. You know, after reading At that press conference, I suddenly found that that era seems to have come again—the era that created IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Apple has come again.”

"But it's different now. It's not the early days of the IT industry, and there won't be legends about the rise of Silicon Valley giants. Now is the era of winners take all, and only the strong will get stronger." Lou Qingyan said.

"I know, I understand." Deng Jianian said, "That's why I want to cooperate with fire. Because only fire can make it so logical for the gnats to shake the tree, only fire can break through the shackles and break those conventional."

Lou Qingyan felt that there was no need to probe at all.

The kitten has already crawled into the nest on its own initiative.

"The hero has entered my hub."

"……what are you saying?"

Lou Qingyan chuckled lightly and said, "Do you know how far Fire is from becoming Gates?"

Deng Jianian frowned and said, "Time?"

"Do not."

Lou Qingyan took out a business card and put it in front of him.

"It's not the timing, it's just Ballmer."

"Ballmer? Isn't that Gates' deputy?"

After he finished speaking, he casually glanced at the business card.

An empty white card with a name in the middle and nothing else.

DayDream Holdings.

Deng Jianian held his breath for an instant.

He subconsciously turned the business card over.

In the middle of the pure white card, there is a clear name printed:

Fire.

For a moment, Deng Jianian even lost his ability to think.

In front of him was a smiling Lou Qingyan.

In his hand is a name that can be called a legend.

When Lou Qingyan pushed this card in front of him... what does this action mean?

After an unknown amount of time, a memory flashback suddenly appeared in Deng Jianian's mind.

It is said that the earliest work of the deep space team is actually Lou Dayuan Ghost Animal Software.

The latter appeared for the first time on the large advertising screens of major shopping malls.

It was later confirmed that it was a planned and premeditated joint marketing event, and Deep Space's software played a huge role in the event, which meant that they were also one of the participants.

Deng Jianian always thought that it was just an outsourcing project received before Deep Space Rise.

Only now did he realize...wrong.

It turns out that Deep Space is not an insignificant little guy, but the real behind-the-scenes planner of that incident.It turned out that fire was the leader that led to Yuanhui's downfall. That was not marketing, but revenge.

This careless young man in front of him, this nodding acquaintance whom he has known for several years, this second-generation patriarch who has always been a playboy, this down-and-out and frustrated person recognized by the whole country.

It turned out to be the fire that created the miracle of Gu Changxi's concert, leveraged millions of dollars in returns, established the UGC audio model, reshaped the Chinese manga industry, ended traditional graphics, created new graphics, and kicked off the VR era.

These are two very different images.

So much so that Deng Jianian felt that he must be thinking too much.

He shook his head and said amusedly, "Fire asked you to hand over the business card?"

Lou Qingyan didn't give him a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I am fire."

Deng Jianian: "..."

A year ago, Zheng Feng knew his identity, Cheng Tao knew his identity, Hollywood tycoons knew his identity, and the National Manga Alliance knew his identity... No matter how many of these people are, they are just shocked, and they haven't arrived yet. I can't believe it, because at that time, there was no legend of supporting Guoman with one hand and creating a new graphics with one hand.

But now, the meaning of the name fire is completely different from a year ago.

Deng Jianian couldn't believe it.

"Impossible, this is impossible." He said, "You are a fire, why didn't you come out early? Why didn't you rise until now? Why did you watch Jiahui fall after so many years of infamy?"

"Because..." Lou Qingyan was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Because why are you talking about it? If you were fire, why didn't you show up until last year? What did you do earlier?"

"Because I was in debt and homeless until last year." Lou Qingyan said, "Don't ask, it's all forced by life."

Deng Jianian: "..."

Lou Qingyan tried to turn the topic back on track, "So, do you agree?"

"Agreed to... what?"

"Come to deep space and be my deputy."

Deng Jianian finally calmed down.

He tried to ignore Lou Qingyan's identity, just thinking about the proposal itself.

"why me?"

"I said years ago that you were my number one consideration."

"But why should I give up my position in Yuanhui and go to work for you?"

Lou Qingyan leaned over and stared at him: "You talk too much nonsense."

Deng Jianian: "..."

"You just answer me, come or not."

At the end of July 2021, Deng Jianian joined Deep Space.

In the book "Dream Maker", which records Lou Qingyan's commercial empire, later generations commented on this matter as follows:

"Before that, Deep Space Technology was just a small research and development workshop opened by Lou Qingyan. Although it had already established the reputation of Tongtian, it did not produce a corresponding scale and healthy external relations. After that, it gradually became a ship. The real giant ship, sound the whistle, sail to the magnificent sea."

The author has something to say:

Deng: Fire is comparable to Silicon Valley giants!

Deng: Fire is much more powerful than you think!

Deng: fire can break through the rules and do the impossible!

Lou: Okay, okay, I got it.

—— "Black Turning Powder"

Lou: It's all forced by life, what kind of life has forced my poor little kitten into.

Deng: Meow meow? ? ?
