neteaseTencentneteaseBytes Betting on the Future" report focuses on the following questions: What is the definition of Metaverse, what is its worldview, and what characteristics of the times does it have? Chinese and American technology giants are betting on the Metaverse, what are the competitions, and what are the differences in capabilities? What are the categories of start-ups on China's Metaverse track? Who is frantically sweeping up goods, and who is watching with a cold eye? Core points:

1. Metaverse world view

The bottom layer of the Metaverse worldview is based on quantum theory.

In the Metaverse era, the development of things is uncertain, and the relationship between data is non-linear, non-causal, and unconnected things may also be related and influential, just like the long-distance phenomenon of bell-shaped influence.

2. Features of the Metaverse Era

Metaverse is the beginning of the ability to bring technology to life. Human beings are carbon-based life, a life driven by biochemical algorithms; technology is a silicon-based life, a life driven by electronic algorithms, and a machine for the survival of the Metaverse.

3. Internet giants (Tencent: Netease: ByteDance) VS new game forces (Mihayou: Lilith): different strengths and weaknesses, the future is a sea of ​​stars

In the layout of Netease Metaverse, games are the dominant item, followed by decentralization, distributed and remote collaboration technology, third is e-commerce, and last is social media.

Netease’s investment strategy is roughly centered on the game business, radiating related productivity technologies, such as Netvios (VR games), Niantic (AR games), Quantic Dream (interactive movie-style games), Together Labs (virtual social platform/UGC platform) .

Bytedance is benchmarked against Facebook and has a traffic platform, but it lacks social network and hardware platform (internal research and development is being tested) and its capabilities are not perfect. Through investment, ByteDance has taken a stake in the Chinese version of Roblox Code Universe.

As game developers, MiHoYo and Lilith are good at content production, but they lack core technical reserves, and their capabilities need to be strengthened.
