When he got home, Yu Jingqiu poured Li Zetian a glass of water and said, "How is the discussion?

Li Zetian nodded and said jokingly: "I've gone out in person, and the other party must not be intimidated by my domineering side leak?"

Yu Jingqiu said with a smile: "This Joseph Engelberg is amazing, I just looked at the information, and the most prestigious robot award in the world is the Engelberg Robot Award named after him!"

"That's right!" Li Zetian took a sip of water and continued, "The company he founded is also very remarkable, it is the first company in the world to develop industrial robots. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn order to promote industrial robots, Unimation has priced a robot that costs $65,000 for $18,000!"

Li Zetian shook his head and smiled, "Unimation is really hard, but it also confirms the company's vision, and the determination to promote industrial robots makes them make a lot of money in the future." Before the 70s, it was basically the world of Unimation, and the company sold robots to various companies, including Europe and Japan, which greatly improved production efficiency.

However, this is also making the company gradually catch up with other companies when the industrial robots blow out in the later era. For example, Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries signed a license agreement with Unimation to become a pioneer in the field of industrial robots in Japan, and Germany's KUKA developed and transformed its Unimation robot into its first industrial robot, named Famulus, which is the world's first electromechanically driven 6-axis robot......"

I think this is one of the reasons why Joseph Engelberg intends to sell Unimation, and there are far fewer competitors for service robots. ”

……

……

It is said that after Joseph Engelberg returned to the hotel, he told the negotiation team he brought about Li Zetian's request.

"Although the industrial robot market is highly competitive, if there is a Chronos· Li's investment, Unimation will be able to get sufficient R&D funds and still maintain its leading position in the industry! Requirements for Li Investment. A woman in her forties said.

Engelberg nodded, and his gaze swept over the others.

"We're okay!" the other two negotiators shook their heads.

"Then it was decided, and I then informed Cruise and told him to drag Westinghouse so that we could get it from Chronos· Li's side gets better conditions!" Engelberg said.

Everyone nodded.

……

So, after more than two weeks of tug-of-war negotiations, Umbrella Company invested $300 million in Unimation, holding 60% of the shares.

After the news of Unimation's acquisition by Li Zetian came out, the industry was shocked, as if a tiger rushed into the flock.

Li Zetian can provide Unimation with financial resources, technology and sales channels, such as Ant Factory, Apple Factory, Intel Factory, Galaxy Network Factory and many other factories need to use industrial robots. As a result, the market share of other industrial robot companies that originally belonged to these companies is bound to be snatched away.

"Alas, the industrial robot industry will definitely be difficult in the future, and eighty percent will be monopolized by Unimation!"

"In the past few years, the development of industrial robots has been booming, and I originally planned to get involved in the industry, but as soon as I heard Chronos· Li also came, and my TM instantly weakened my legs. Fortunately, there is no investment in building a factory, otherwise, we will not lose money in the future!"

“……”

At this time, at the request of Li Zetian, Unimation Company changed its name to Evolutionary Robotics Company and established two departments: industrial robots and service robots.

Subsequently, job advertisements were placed in many media outlets.

At the same time, people were sent to hold a job fair for Evolver Robotics Company at a well-known university in the United States.

After that, it plans to establish branches in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and other regions.

Of course, Li Zetian also asked headhunters to poach from other robot companies.

For a time, many top robotics engineers resigned and joined Evolutionary Robotics.

The world couldn't help but be shocked by a series of moves by Evolutionary Robotics!

"Damn, this TM is crazy, recruiting so many robotics engineers, what is this for?"

“Chronos· Li changed the name of Unimation to Evolutionary Robotics, and I felt that something was wrong. Now it seems that he is going to make robots like the ones in "The Terminator"! Evolvers, evolvers, will robots evolve in the future?"

"Oh, that's cool, it's so dick, is Evolver Robotics really going to develop robots that can evolve in the future?"

“……”

At this time, even Joseph Engelberg and others from the original Unimation company were shocked, they didn't expect that Li Zetian was so determined to develop robots.

"Engelberg, if this continues, the company's funds will soon be spent!" one shareholder said to Engelberg, frowning.

Engelberg expressed his frustration: "The company is now part of Chronos· Li, if he wants to do this, I can't help it. Moreover, the employees in the company are embracing him, because Chronos· Li provides them with the best R&D conditions, and with so many great people joining them, they can create the most advanced robots together, even artificial intelligence robots, and it's very exciting to think about it!"

"But ......"

"No, it's clear that Chronos· Li will next inject capital into Evolver Robotics to further dilute our stake. However, as long as the Evolutionary Robotics Company develops well, even if our shares are diluted, its value will rise!" one shareholder laughed, "Don't you know that since Unimation changed its name to Evolutionary Robotics, Wall Street has looked very highly at our company? As far as I know, many appraisal agencies have set the market value of Evolutionary Robotics at $1 billion, and the original market value of Unimation Company was only a few hundred million dollars!" If you're not satisfied with Chronos· Li's approach, even if he sells stocks, makes several times as much! Do any of you want to sell stocks? I can buy them!"

The other shareholders were speechless and looked at each other, and no one offered to sell their shares.

A few days later, Li Zetian came to Unimation and announced the establishment of an artificial intelligence laboratory.

The crowd wasn't surprised.

As soon as you hear the name "Evolutionary Robotics Inc.", you know that you want to develop artificial intelligence.

Li Zetian said: "In the summer of 1956, at a conference held at Dartmouth University in the United States, a group of artificial intelligence scholars represented by John McCarthy, Seymour Papt, Minsky, and Alan Newell gathered together, and they proposed to establish 'artificial intelligence' as an independent discipline. McCarthy's α-β search method, Minsky's Snare, and Simon and Newell's '10sicTheorist' were the three highlights of the conference!

"Since the Dartmouth conference, artificial intelligence has developed rapidly, but it has quickly encountered an artificial intelligence winter. However, by 1982, artificial neural networks had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, bringing new hope to the development of artificial intelligence. The main characteristics of artificial neural networks are the distribution and storage of information and the parallelization of information processing, and the ability of self-organization and self-learning, which enables people to use machine processing to process information in a new way and method, so that artificial intelligence has risen in the academic community of neural network boom!"

Li Zetian said in a deep voice: "Although the development of artificial intelligence is tortuous, the development potential is endless, and the development of the robot manufacturing industry !!is huge!

Everyone nodded one after another, Li Zetian has absolute authority here.
