Chapter 421: Compet.i.tor“s
Wu Weiling left, after giving her phone number to Ye Qing who also gave her his phone number so that in the future when she can come to Shanghai she will come as a guest.
One hour later, Ye Qing went to a Boeing 737 and flew to Shanghai City. Suddenly changing from the Gulfstream G 750 to the Boeing 737, which had dominated the market for decades, Ye Qing felt like he was used to driving a Lagonda and now he is riding a donkey cart. Fortunately, he was not the kind of poor and delicate person. He didn"t care about oil pollution when he is engaged in mechanical production, let alone sit in first cla.s.s.
There were eight seats in the first-cla.s.s cabin of which only three are occupied, Ye Qing and two business elites, whose hair was as shiny as a cow’s lick, and they sat in front of him and they kept talking to the phone while grabbing their Hermès bags. The stewardess urged those several times to hang up their phone, and the two men reluctantly hung up them.
To be regarded as a business elite, at least the personal qualities must be good, or the surface image must be maintained.
After hanging up the phone, they gathered together to discuss in a low voice. The sound was unconsidered to disturb the other pa.s.sengers, but Ye Qing hoped that their voices would be louder so that he could hear clearly because these two were discussing something that had troubled Monster Heavy Industries for several days.
"Manager Zhang, in Jiangnan Province, where I am in charge, sales reached 500 units in only three days. How about sales in Anhui province where you are in charge?
"Haha… 700!" Some bald Manager Zhang lowered his proud laugh: “Since the promo video appeared last days, customers who are coming to order almighty robots now do phone calls non-stop... This month"s sales bonus could be at least one million... There was much difference, thanks to that promotional video. I heard the promotional video was produced by An Qi Heavy Industries with equipment and technology, and Amano Heavy Industries contributed funds to film with actors... Now a large number of unidentified onlookers on the Internet are shouting the mighty domestic products. Crush the world."
The other manager sighed in a low voice: "For me, the mighty domestic products depend on Monster Heavy Industries. The robot we sell is obviously an explorer who imitates them."
"Yeah… Who made An Qi"s sales network? It"s too powerful. I heard that the foreign market was even more outrageous. A large number of small freshmen in Europe are calling for all-round robots to be forcibly dispatched to all dangerous industrial production to protect workers" visibility... It is not all promo pieces to be trouble, almost all made into a Hollywood blockbuster, I heard of this movie, there is a great wish to be nominated for an Academy Award for the best short film."
"I"m on the phone specifically for... I saved this short video, and I just played the short video when I ran the business. There were no doubts."
"That..." Ye Qing, who was sitting in the back row gently knocked on their seats and saw the two managers throwing doubts. After looking around, he smiled embarra.s.sedly: "Could you please lend me a look at that promotional video. The plane is about to take off, and the mobile phone cannot be connected to the internet."
"Of course." Manager Zhang agreed, not only handed the mobile phone but also attached it with a business card with exquisite workmanship.
As for business, the better you get to know more quality customers.
This curious young man was going out with a bodyguard, and he had a good background.
Saying thank you, and Ye Qing carefully watched the promotional video saved on the phone. Before entering the country, the company managers told him this promotional video was very powerful and of course, he would be very interested.
The short film lasts for three minutes. At the beginning of the screen, the big mountain logo of Amano Heavy Industries appears on the screen.
"My G.o.d is Almighty."
"This... is the first day I woke up."
After the dark picture, it was the first angle of view of the robot which gave a shaking feeling of opening the eyes. A large-scale chemical factory appeared in front of Ye Qing"s eyes. The morning sun, busy workers preparing to go to work were scattered all over the factory"s pipelines and various reactors. This robot followed the flow of people, and it was easy to bring the audience into it, in this busy chemical factory.
"What"s my task?"
The robot muttered to itself and walked into a pure white square factory building. The workers here were laboriously putting on sealed protective clothing. When pa.s.sing the changing mirrors, the robot stopped and looked at itself in the mirrors. Some like the Wali robot in cartoons were also instantly separated from the bloated workers wearing sealed protective suits next to them.
The picture turned again, and the all-around robot came to a white laboratory. Entering here was like walking into one of the most dangerous biochemical castles in the world. There was a red flammable and explosive gas logo, a yellow warning triangle with a skull, and a toxic cadmium warning. There were also a variety of storage bottles with no-touch signs that say that corrosive liquids are strictly prohibited. A worker wearing protective clothing and an isolation mask was opening the storage bottle and pouring corrosive liquid into the gla.s.sware.
"My task is to learn."
The robot continued to mutter to itself and then learned the worker"s movements, pouring the corrosive liquid into the vessel and an unexpected thing happened in front of Ye Qing. This robot, who he did not expect it, demonstrated its ability with skillful and fast completion of tasks.
It was slower. The liquid that was originally scheduled to be 100 ml was poured out a few more ml. During this process, some corrosive liquid splashed on it. Then it was dismissed by the old workers and waved to send it to the next job.
The next job was the synthesis of harmful gases. This robot was still slow and it was rejected by skilled old workers. The only bright spot should be that in the ventilation room, a lot of harmful gas was sprayed on the face of the robot, and it was indifferent, then the third post and the fourth.
Without exception, the robot was completely rejected. In the end, the robot was very humane and made a sad shaking head.
It was hidden by the snow and was sent to a corner of the workshop, silently watching the busy workers, silently cleaning for a living day after day, cleaning the waste liquid pool.
By shooting the picture from the first perspective, the audience can easily be brought into the sad mood of the robot. The kind of loss of working hard, but not to do anything awkward, was like the job hunting experience of many young people today.
Day after day, the robot became more and more proficient, but he was still doing the hardest and most tiring dirty work. The camera flashed quickly. On an ordinary day, the robot opened its eyes as usual and looked at the busy workers while sweeping the floor.
"Warning..."
Suddenly, the first angle of view turned into a dazzling red.
"The hydrogen sulfide content in the air has been detected to reach 0.2%, which has exceeded the safety threshold."
"Warning… Warning…"
The robot dropped the vacuum cleaner, ran to the source of the harmful gas leak, and reported it to the workers nearby. However, workers in protective clothing did not take it seriously, saying they have rich experience and they could deal with this gas leak and the robot was driven away again, but the amount of hydrogen sulfide in the air was increasing.
Based on experience, the old worker who did not follow the operating specifications to destroy the production materials this time confidently carried out remedial measures. As a result, an inconspicuous safety valve flew off, shattering its isolation mask. Hydrogen sulfide gas quickly leaked, and the old worker who fell into a severe panic fell on the ground with his mask before he ran a few steps and the alarm bells in the workshop were overwhelming. This flammable and highly toxic gas quickly reacted with the electric sparks generated by the charged equipment, causing a detonation reaction to blow up the entire ventilation equipment room.
The workers ran away in horror, and the entire factory responded quickly. The director and leaders gathered together, and the factory fire brigade was ready to go. But no one dared to rush in because through the monitoring and observation in the laboratory, the fire was burning inside, and the worker who was thrown down by the poisonous gas without following the operating specifications was lying motionless on the ground.
In addition to the fire, small explosions also occur from time to time. Workers reported in more horror that the laboratory not only had dangerous goods such as hydrogen sulfide but also stored organophosphate compounds. This was a very toxic thing, once leaked; the entire factory would be destroyed.
The director of the factory was about to order the entire factory to evacuate. But in the surveillance picture, the worker who was motionless was missing. The all-round robot appeared in the center of the monitoring screen. Colorful flames sprayed thinly on its body, and the highly corrosive liquid on the ground was happily corroding everything it encountered spread to the robot, but it turned into clear water not even smoke.
The screen once again switched to the robot"s first perspective which wandered through the fire and explosions, closing one device after another and breaking open the cabinets of various chemical fire extinguishing devices. All dangerous goods were also transferred out by it. The figure of the old worker who was overwhelmed by poison gas also flashed across the screen.
The fire burned for half an hour, and the all-rounder also tossed in it for half an hour. All kinds of unexpected handling programs that were learned silently on weekdays were also implemented by it. What borax mixed with calcium oxide, to absorb strong corrosive acid. Holding the burning material cylinder, throw it into the waste liquid treatment pool and extinguish all kinds of terrifying chemical flames with liquid hydrogen.
In the monitoring room, the director and the workers were stunned and excited. Not only was the factory director feeling surging when watching, but even Ye Qing holding the mobile phone was also feeling surging when watching.
The three-minute promotional video really felt like watching a Hollywood blockbuster. Using the first point of view, it cleverly led the audience toward the robot. From the very beginning, it tried very hard, but it couldn"t do anything well, and the disappointment was. .h.i.t everywhere.
The last effort to conquer the tide, not only swept away this feeling of loss but also the robot that people brought in became a hero. If he was in a movie theater, Ye Qing would believe that young people who have just stepped into society must jump up for joy.
Even if it was a compet.i.tor, Ye Qing had to admit the shooting level of this promotional film had reached the limit that he could hardly surpa.s.s.
