October 17, 2025.

The American Congress officially issued the "Protecting National Financial Security and Monetary Stability Act", prohibiting major Internet giants from selling virtual helmets and other virtual equipment in the United States.

As soon as this bill was released, the whole of America was filled with grief.

In less than a day, more than one million people proposed on the White House petition website, demanding the revocation of the ban bill.

Some of them are virtual world users.

They feel the charm of the virtual world, and they cannot accept life without the virtual world.

But more of it is potential users who have not had time to use the virtual world.

These people either did not buy virtual helmets due to economic factors, but their longing for the virtual world is no less than others.

On the contrary, because virtual world users continue to show off on the Internet, their curiosity about the virtual world has further aroused.

Since the establishment of the White House petition website in 2011, the speed of feedback from this bill can be said to be the fastest.

According to American law.

The number of petitioners reached 100,000 within 30 days, and the White House must respond.

In less than a day, the number of petitioners exceeded one million.

The White House must respond.

As a result, its response was also very official. The sales of virtual equipment not only seriously affected the cybersecurity in the United States, but also the financial and monetary security in the United States.

He simply responded to the content of the bill to netizens in the original text.

Because this bill is a decision made by the American real ruler group, no matter how dissatisfied the people, what is the capable ruler?

......

Civilized building.

"Mr. Lu!"

In Lu Chen's office, a holographic projection sat upright on the seat in front of Lu Chen.

It is Google's founder and largest shareholder, Larry Page.

At this moment, this world's top rich man couldn't help but feel restrained in front of Lu Chen.

This sense of restraint is not because Lu Chen has more wealth than him and has more power than him.

But in the cooperation between the two parties, he undoubtedly stood at a disadvantage of Party B.

As the founder of one of the world's best Internet companies, Larry Page knows very well what the virtual world represents!

"Mr. Page, do you have to give me a reasonable explanation about your country's ban on sale?"

Lu Chen looked at the other person with a blind eye.

Upon hearing this, Larry Page smiled bitterly: "Mr. Lu, you should know that in terms of political power, our emerging Silicon Valley chaebols will not be able to compete with the old capital chaebols in any case!

Regarding the ban on sale, I can only say that I have tried my best. If Mr. Lu insists on offending us about this matter, I can only say that I am sorry!"

As he said that, Larry Page bowed slightly.

According to the agreement between the two parties, their main responsibility is to popularize North American virtual network users.

Now that the ban on sales is released, it can be said that the popularization of virtual network users in North America was interrupted suddenly.

Theoretically, these Internet companies in the United States no longer have the foundation to cooperate with virtual universe companies.

Lu Chen said: "Exploring the North American market for us is the basis of our cooperation between the two teams. Mr. Larry Page, please tell me, what value do you have to me now?"

"this......"

A fine layer of sweat oozed out of Larry Page's forehead.

As the founder of Google, the Internet giant, Larry Page knows better than anyone what a virtual world will mean to human civilization once it is built.

What the American financial consortium can see clearly, how can he not see through it?

Once the virtual world becomes popular, it is completely different from the popularization of the Internet.

The things that the Internet presents to humans are nothing more than videos, pictures, texts, and voice.

The virtual world is completely different.

For humans, that would be the second world!

Even the second world that is more charming than the real world.

At least in the real world, humans have to worry about various things, but in the private space of the virtual world, users can fully experience the feeling of God.

In addition to the more private private world, the public community in the virtual world is even more charming.

It is a super-civilized world that combines extraordinary, technology and magic.

Although this world has revealed a mysterious corner to users, this does not hinder people's yearning for it.

This is also the reason why the entire United States is complaining when the sale ban bill was issued.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Google to give up its interests in the virtual world, because it is the future!

Thinking of this, Larry Page raised his head: "Mr. Lu, maybe, we can sell virtual equipment without normal channels!"

"oh?"

Lu Chen raised his hand, "I hope to hear the details!"

"I admit that the Wall Street Financial Consortium has a stronger political power in Congress than us, but they are by no means a single hand!"

As he said, the smug look on Larry Page's face flashed, "At least in California, they are not the ones who have the final say!"

"You mean..."

“California and Mexico have a border line of more than a thousand kilometers.”

Lu Chen instantly understood what Larry Page meant.

smuggling!

Virtual brain computers use virtual networks, and the current virtual network uses satellite network communication arranged by Tianxuan, and does not follow the Internet controlled by the United States.

Therefore, it can be sold to American consumers without permission from the American government and allow consumers to use it normally!

Of course, smuggling virtual helmets from Mexico to North America was not a small fuss, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of machines sold.

Although virtual helmets are not as big as cars, their huge scale will definitely cause Lu Chen to suffer heavy losses when it hits such a huge scale.

At this time, it is particularly important to have an insider.

In particular, California is the territory of the emerging chaebol in Silicon Valley, and Mexico borders California.

This gives Lu Chen and the others a lot of room for operation!

"Are you sure the California government will not be interfered with by your federal government?"

"Of course not!"

Larry Page smiled and said, "In California, the state government is much more effective than the federal government. Mr. Lu, you can regard California as an independent country. Apart from not having the right to declare war on the outside world, we are almost not much different from an independent country!"

“That’s really…so great!”

Lu Chen laughed.

This feeling of being a lackey is so good!

No wonder one country has to recruit a group of Ergouzi as its subordinates before invading another country.

As the saying goes, only one’s own people understand their own weaknesses best. The ancients did not deceive me!
