Nine Dragons Group, Film and Television Department.
After watching an episode of a holographic drama series, all the executives remained silent after removing their holographic helmets, and it took a long time before they officially began to discuss.
"Does the group have no intention of acquiring it?"
"There is such an intention, but the probability of success is too low. Not only are many groups competing for the acquisition, but the other party also seems unwilling to sell the company."
"If the main group cannot acquire it, then we can only spend a huge sum of money to cooperate with them. Otherwise, not only will our film and television department have difficulty operating, but the film and television broadcasting platform will have even more difficulty operating."
"That's right, with holographic movies and TV shows, who would still be willing to watch those ordinary movies and TV shows? The immersive feeling just now is far inferior to even the best so-called 4D cinema effects. If we don't cooperate, even if the film and television department doesn't go bankrupt, we will definitely lose our leading competitive position!"
"The main reason why the emergence of 3D technology in the past did not have a significant impact on us was that the equipment prices were too expensive, and the top equipment was prohibitively expensive. Ordinary families could not afford it, and it was unlikely to be widely popularized. In addition, apart from special effects films with huge investments, which had good results when produced and watched in 3D, there was no significant change in ordinary movies made and watched in 3D. The so-called immersion was just an exaggeration. These limitations restricted the popularization of 3D technology. However, this holographic technology is different. It has truly achieved low prices and outstanding effects, with an almost leap-like improvement compared to ordinary film and television. The price of a thousand-yuan machine is enough to make it easily popularized. Therefore, I suggest that if the higher-ups are not confident in completely acquiring the corresponding technology, then we must show goodwill to Ding's Group early and establish deep cooperative ties! We can even open up our film and television library to them!"
"That's right, this technological change is no less than a new industrial revolution for our film and television industry. If we don't keep up, we can only fall behind and be beaten!"

National Biomedical Research Center.
After watching the results of the experimental personnel entering the holographic world to perform basic experimental operations and comparing them with the results of basic experimental operations performed in reality, all the executives and several responsible persons for major projects in the research center also quickly began to discuss the matter.
"The experimental results are actually the same!"
"According to this, can't this holographic world also help us train a large number of skilled junior researchers and reduce a lot of material waste? Compared to the price of more than a thousand yuan, it's simply too cost-effective!"
"No, you are underestimating the role of this holographic world too much. Since this holographic world can perfectly simulate various basic experimental raw materials and conduct basic experimental research, is it possible that it can conduct higher-level research? By scanning some of the scientific research equipment in our laboratory, we can move the entire laboratory into the holographic world. If this can really be achieved, I can't even imagine how valuable it would be."
"My goodness, if that's possible, then we won't have to wait for a certain instrument to be used all the time, and we won't have to be so stingy when doing research as before. Once we can continuously conduct research attempts in the holographic world at an extremely low cost, then these projects we have now, and even some projects we didn't dare to touch before, should be easier to obtain results than in the past, or even directly succeed!"
"Also, the report mentioned that the virtual bodies created by everyone who entered had reactions to taking medicine as if they were taking it in reality. Anyway, the death of virtual people will not affect our real bodies. Doesn't this mean that we can conduct various human experiments in the holographic world without any scruples? Some things may sound cruel, but the fact is that large-scale human experiments without restrictions are of great help to medical progress."
"It seems that we need to have a good chat with this company and ask them if they can do what we just mentioned. If they can, let's quickly engage in in-depth cooperation."

The reactions of the Nine Dragons Group's film and television department and the National Pharmaceutical Research Center are merely a microcosm of various industries. Scientific research institutions, film and television companies, entertainment companies, software and internet companies, and so on, have swarmed to them. Foreign agencies and their agents have also come, either seeking cooperation or attempting to acquire technology. Among them, those who want to acquire technology are more numerous. After all, no one is stupid, and everyone knows how great the prospects of this technology are. As long as it is bought back, it will definitely be a golden goose.
It has to be said that facing so many acquisition requests from giant enterprises, Ding Yun himself was under considerable pressure. Fortunately, at this time, the country had basically verified the importance of Ding Yun's technology. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it could lead their country's technology and various aspects to soar again. Such important scientific and technological achievements naturally could not be given to foreigners cheaply, nor could people be disheartened. Therefore, relevant institutions quickly began to intervene and successfully reached a cooperation with Ding Yun.
With the backing of the country, Ding Yun naturally had nothing to fear from those companies anymore. No matter who it was, they could only sign cooperation agreements, and acquisition was out of the question. However, even so, Ding Yun's conditions were not harsh, and they basically adhered to the principle of mutual benefit. It was unavoidable, as it would take a lot of time for her to rebuild a complete network ecosystem, and the difficulty of fully promoting it was also very high. Rather than being so troublesome, it was better to achieve win-win cooperation. She would provide the platform, and others would provide services. As long as she always controlled the core technology, she figured few companies could detach from her platform. To make other companies actively cooperate, it was very worthwhile to give up some benefits appropriately, after all, Ding Yun's core purpose was not to make money, but to expand her influence. By earning less herself, she could exchange for the non-opposition of the vast majority of enterprises, and even help promote the construction of a complete holographic ecosystem. Why not?
And the result, naturally, goes without saying. The enterprise executives who thought that with the backing of the country, Ding Yun would make exorbitant demands, were full of praise for Ding Yun's sincerity and generosity when they saw the contract she provided, and they eagerly signed the contracts and officially began in-depth cooperation.
As cooperation agreements were continuously signed, all users who purchased holographic helmets could clearly see the rapid changes and increasing functions of the holographic world. For example, in the personal cinema, many high-quality dramas had been converted into holographic movies and TV shows. The personal information bar had added a communication icon. Previously commonly used social software could be used with a click, and video calls could be conducted face-to-face in the holographic world. In addition, major online malls had also successively settled in, successfully realizing online shopping in the holographic world, and even trying on outfits to see if they suited oneself before placing an order, which would then be delivered normally by express delivery. In addition, libraries, websites, and other platforms had also settled in. All electronic books could be transformed into the form of physical books for people to view. The number of various games connected was even more. However, in order not to appear too magical, Ding Yun had not yet connected some super-large-scale games that required a lot of modeling. She had only connected some games such as farm and ranch, and small town processing workshops. In short, most of the software on mobile phones had been converted to holographic versions, or were being converted into holographic versions and had settled into the holographic world. Most companies had not suffered losses.
The only ones who suffered heavy losses were probably the mobile phone industry. To put it bluntly, if holographic helmets were not so bulky and not suitable for going to work with them, many people would no longer want to use mobile phones. In this case, how could mobile phone companies not be affected? Many mobile phone manufacturers' sales had directly plummeted. The functions of mobile phones were also greatly reduced for the general public, becoming a substitute when holographic helmets could not be used. Some small and micro enterprises with open and active thinking, relatively high rents, and where most employees' work was conducted online, had even started a long-term work-from-home model. After all, meetings and face-to-face interactions could be handled in the holographic world, so why not? It was just that this model had not yet been fully rolled out. Once it was fully rolled out, sales of tablet computers and laptops, and even housing prices, would have to decrease. This is what it means for one action to affect the whole situation. Even some inconspicuous changes could stir up great waves, let alone changes that affected multiple industries and were earth-shattering. However, the transformation that Ding Yun had stirred up had now become an irreversible trend.
