Since Facebook changed its name to Meta, the metacosm has been out of the sky in just a few months, and every three to five companies have announced that they want to engage in a "metacosm", and now even those who make herbal tea have to step in.
On February 11, data from a third-party business inquiry platform showed that Baiyunshan, a Chinese medicine giant that has just been selected as one of the Fortune Global 500, is applying for the registration of the trademark "Wang Lao Jiyuan Universe", which is internationally classified as "32-Beer Beverage", and the submission time is January 30. The news out of the stock bar frying pan, netizens said that "this really can't understand" "a bottle of beer sells for 1,000 yuan", the recent Baiyun Mountain stock price continued to fall, some netizens joked that it should be registered as "the universe old fall".
In the past month, a number of listed companies that announced the edge of the meta-universe have received regulatory attention letters, including Saturday when shoes are made, Guoguang electrical appliances that make audio, etc., requiring specific instructions on the relevance of the main business to the "meta-universe", whether a stable business model can be formed, and whether there is a "hot spot" behavior.
BaiyunShan shares started with a 20% drop in the year
The "Wang Lao Jiyuan Universe" turned out to be a reality
Since Zuckerberg changed the company's name to show the determination to transform the meta-universe, many technology companies and Internet companies at home and abroad have followed suit.
According to the data of Tianyancha, Xiaopeng Automobile is applying for the registration of a number of "Xiaopeng Yuan Universe" trademarks, and the international classification involves means of transport, machinery and equipment, and scientific instruments. Alibaba Singapore Holdings Limited applied for the registration of trademarks such as "Alibaba Meta Universe", and the international classification involved 9 types of scientific instruments, 41 classes of education and entertainment, etc. NetEase is applying for the registration of trademarks such as "Planet Meta-Universe", "Yaotai Tai Illusory Realm" and "Yuanshi Tianzun", and the international classification involves scientific instruments, social services, education and entertainment.
Nowadays, those who make herbal tea also have to register the "meta-universe" trademark.
According to Tianyan, Guangzhou Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. is applying for the registration of the trademark "Wang Lao Jiyuan Universe", the international classification is "32 classes - beer and beverages", the current trademark status is "registration application", the application date is "January 30, 2021", and the registration process has just started.
As soon as the news was exposed, it surprised a large number of netizens, "too cattle" "there is also a meta-universe concept under this", and some netizens said that "a flat (bottle) beer can sell for 1,000 yuan". Some netizens also said that "this is really incomprehensible" and "after drinking herbal tea, it is directly cool to the upper yuan universe".
Some netizens even joked that "it should be registered as a cosmic old fall". Since the beginning of 2022, Baiyunshan's stock price has continued to fall, and it has pulled back by more than 20% from its high level in just one month.
Baiyunshan Securities Department: There is no specific use plan
How exactly is herbal tea "metacosmic"?
The Reporter of China Fund News called the Baiyunshan Securities Department as an investor, and the wiring staff said, "It is the company that does the green box Wang Laoji under the group (that is, Wang Laoji Pharmaceutical) doing this thing (applying for a trademark), but there is no specific use plan at present", "It should still be around the big health products".
The staff member said that in fact, since the Spring Festival, Wang Laoji has done some marketing activities related to the metacosm, but he stressed that "the metacosm we are talking about here is still some difference from the metacosm as usually understood."
Recently, there are media reports that Wang Laoji has launched 100 "Baijiahe" digital collections with surname culture as the main body, traditional culture as the creative element, and digital technology as the carrier, which is also the first step for Wang Laoji to enter the meta-universe. It is reported that the "Baijiahe" digital collection has a unique identity and ownership information on the blockchain and cannot be stolen, so once the user obtains it, it is equivalent to owning a unique and non-homogeneous digital asset.
Wang Laoji's official WeChat public account shows that since December last year, he has launched a series of marketing activities related to his surname.
