CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 176: CONFIDENTIALITY LEAK!

Hearing Zhang Manlin’s words, Jiang Cheng didn’t think much about it. He calmly said, "Don’t worry about the cost. With such high-end technology as virtual reality devices, it’s naturally not going to be cheap! This is a very normal thing, and we can’t rush it. As the future progresses, costs should gradually decrease. Of course, even if they decrease, they can’t go any lower than this."

On this point, Jiang Cheng saw it clearly. Although this would separate the general users, why not make money from the rich?

In the main president’s office.

Jiang Cheng sat on the chair, looking very cool. He looked at Zhang Manlin and continued, "As for pricing, 200,000 to 250,000 is too cheap; that’s not my goal. So, the basic version should be priced at 300,000, and the deluxe version at 500,000. Only in this way can we make money."

"Isn’t this price too high?" Zhang Manlin hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help asking.

"How is it too high?" Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Even if the price is one million yuan, some people will buy it. This is a virtual reality device, an ultra-advanced technology beyond this era. We are the only ones in the world, we have a monopoly. What are you afraid of?"

"That’s right." Zhang Manlin nodded quickly. This wasn’t a slow reaction but rather that her vision and thinking were limited by previous conditions and hadn’t adapted. The cards in their hands at this time were quite strong!

Jiang Cheng continued, "There’s also the issue of promotion. We can collaborate with others. I believe some domestic companies would be very willing to work with us, like Tencent, as long as we launch a truly meaningful virtual reality game. With Tencent’s ability to make money, they might earn a lot, and for them, it’s just about being an agent.

"Tencent as a virtual game agent?" Zhang Manlin thought for a while after hearing this, then said, "This is indeed a good idea, but if you do this, I’m afraid Tencent will try to acquire us."

"Us?" Jiang Cheng, hearing this, dismissively shook his head and said, "You’re overthinking it.".

"What about the development of virtual reality games? We don’t have a game development department yet—do I need to prepare for this?" Zhang Manlin asked.

"You don’t need to prepare for this. I have my ways; you don’t need to worry about this matter, just do something else." Jiang Cheng said.

Game development, he could let others find ways. Over these days, Lucy had been continuously absorbing all kinds of information from the internet, her capability had fully grown, and making a game, even the first virtual reality game, although very complex, for her, was not a problem. It was just a matter of time.

"All right." Zhang Manlin nodded and said, "Besides this issue, I have another question. It’s about the confidentiality of our virtual reality device. Once it goes on sale, it will definitely take the whole world by storm, and thousands of people will target the virtual reality device, trying to break it! If we don’t keep it confidential, once virtual reality is cracked and copied, our monopoly on the world will disappear!"

Zhang Manlin raised a very constructive issue, even Jiang Cheng hadn’t thought of it.

When he heard it, he wasn’t surprised. Although, in the long run, he hoped many people would have the technology for virtual reality devices; only then would the virtual reality era truly blossom!

But from the current perspective, he still didn’t want that situation to happen!

Moreover, when a virtual reality device is cracked, then copied, it’s similar to theft. If it really happened, he would certainly feel disgusted.

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I will handle the confidentiality issue so you don’t have to worry."

"Yes." Zhang Manlin nodded, then handed over a document, saying it was some work reports from the company, and asked the chairman to take a look.

Jiang Cheng glanced at the work report, nodded, and said, "Just leave the documents here. Also, next time you organize these report documents, just send them to my computer by email; you don’t have to come over personally."

"Yes, I understand." Zhang Manlin nodded and said, "I still have some work to do, so I’ll leave now!"

"Hmm, go ahead." Jiang Cheng said as he opened the file and gave it a quick glance, then stopped looking. He wasn’t interested in this aspect, having Zhang Manlin directly report the work situation to his email was also so that Lucy could help look through it directly.

Lucy was more professional than him.

Recalling what had just happened, Jiang Cheng quickly turned on the computer on his desk while speaking, "Lucy, are you there?"

"Yes, I am Lucy, master. How may I assist you?" Lucy asked with a smile, slowly appearing on the computer screen, looking at Jiang Cheng.

"Did you hear what just happened?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"What just happened? Sorry, master, I was busy with other things and didn’t notice." Lucy said.

"Other things? Jiang Cheng paused for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"

"There was a hacker organization trying to attack your computer, Master. I stopped it." Lucy said.

"A hacker organization trying to invade my computer?" Jiang Cheng repeated Lucy’s words with a laugh. "That’s quite interesting. It’s truly unfathomable.

"This is a domestic hacker. A hacker organization called ’Poisonous Snake,’ Lucy said.

"Domestic hacker organization—so many years have passed, there are still hacker organizations domestically?" Jiang Cheng said with interest.

In the early days of the development of internet technology, hackers were the most popular wandering network organization and were sometimes regarded as a very promising profession.

However, with the development of the times, talent in this field has not been lacking for a long time. Hackers have become illegal organizations and are severely punished by the state.

And this group of hackers even set their sights on him!

This is courting death!

"Yes, Master. How should we handle this?" Lucy asked, looking at Jiang Cheng.

"I don’t know why I’ve become the target of an attack. Is it because of the virtual reality device? Some people are so eager so quickly. What’s wrong—help me find out, then eliminate the hacker group, first determine their computers, and black out everything! Oh, and contact the relevant authorities and send them to jail."

"Yes, Master, I understand!" Lucy nodded.

"There’s one more thing." Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said.

"What is it?" Lucy asked, with a hint of curiosity.

"Regarding the virtual reality device, help me create some more complex encryption codes so that no one can crack it. I want to ensure the confidentiality of this plan." Jiang Cheng instructed.

"That’s simple." Lucy nodded, readily agreeing.
