There are so many different kinds of robots in the world, so who invented the world's first real robot?

In Li Zetian's investigation, his name is Joseph Engelberg, and he enjoys the reputation of "the father of robots"!

Engelberg is one of the world's most famous roboticists, he founded the company Unimation in 1958 and developed the world's first industrial robot in 1959, and he made an outstanding contribution to the creation of the robot industry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But in 1983, just when the sales of industrial robots were booming, Engelberg decided to sell Unimation.

At this moment, Unimation is negotiating with Westinghouse.

", this is just enough for me to catch up with !!" Li Zetian couldn't help but feel lucky, "Dongfang Yuqin, immediately contact Unimation Company and acquire it!!"

"Yes, Mr. Li. Dongfang Yuqin nodded in response, and then began to make a phone call to convey Li Zetian's order.

……

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Unimation received a takeover offer from Umbrella Corporation.

Joseph Engelberg was amazed!

"Oh, what do you think Chronos Li is buying Unimation?" he asked, calling several of the major shareholders into his office.

Everyone was initially shocked, but immediately, one of the shareholders said: "Then we will talk on both sides, and whoever pays the highest price will sell it to whomever we want." ”

"That's right!"

“……”

Several major shareholders agreed.

Joseph Engelberg said conclusively: "Okay, both sides will talk, Cruise will negotiate with Westinghouse, and I will personally negotiate with Umbrella Company." ”

"Okay. The man nodded.

Joseph Engelberg then flew to Los Angeles to meet Li Zetian at a hotel. Li Zetian invited him to dinner.

This time, Li Zetian personally went out, in fact, he wanted to subdue this person.

Joseph Engelberg is, after all, one of the most famous roboticists, and such a talent deserves Li Zetian's personal involvement.

After the two met, Li Zetian looked at him carefully, bald, with a pair of round-framed glasses, not tall, wearing a very formal gray suit.

"Hello, Mr. Joseph Engelberg!" Li Zetian smiled, took the initiative to stretch out his hand to greet him, Corporal Lixian.

"Hello, Mr. Chronos Li!" he shook hands with Li Zetian, surprised at the other's youthfulness.

The two sat down, and Li Zetian called the waiter and ordered a rich dinner, intending to chat with him while eating.

"Mr. Engelberg, I'm curious, the Unimation company is developing so well, why did you sell it?" asked Li Zetian.

Joseph Engelberg thought for a moment and replied, "I'm going to sell Unimation and create a company to develop 'service robots'." A service robot is a semi-autonomous or fully autonomous robot, which can complete service work that is beneficial to human health, but does not include equipment engaged in production, such as lawn mower robots, cleaning robots, underwater robots, medical robots, etc. ”

It was clear to Li that because Unimation was an industrial robot production company, Josef Engelberg was not interested in it.

"Mr. Engelberg, I acquired Unimation, so it is only natural that I will also enter the field of 'service robots'. Otherwise, after I acquire Unimation, you continue to stay in the company, and I can provide you with enough funds to develop service robots!" Li Zetian asked tentatively.

Joseph Engelberg shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I'm more inclined to start my own business!"

This time it was Li Zetian's turn to be stunned, and the other party didn't think much about it, so he rejected himself.

Li Zetian said in a deep voice: "Mr. Engelberg, don't you think about it again? If you can stay in Unimation, you can have a bigger stage and display your talent to the fullest!"

When Joseph Engelberg heard this, he hesitated.

Li Zetian did not continue to speak at this time, but looked at him quietly and gave him some time.

After a while, the waiter served the food, and it was full of Los Angeles specialties.

"Mr. Engelberg, let's have a toast first!"

Li Zetian raised his wine glass, "This is 'last year's Lafite', the quality is very good, you can taste it." ”

This year is 1983, and last year was 1982. 1982 was a very good vintage, with excellent climatic conditions and excellent quality of the grapes, so the vintage was highly praised by wine collectors all over the world, and therefore very expensive. Li Zetian bought a lot of them and kept them at home. Of course, in 1983, I used the 1982 wine to pretend to be very low, but Li Zetian didn't use it to pretend to be forced now, but I just felt that this wine was not bad to drink. If you want to pretend to be forced, you will also pretend to be later, and when Lafite becomes popular in 82 years, Li Zetian will open the wine cellar, take a photo, and share the circle of friends or something......

"Okay. Joseph Engelberg nodded, then raised his glass, touched the glass lightly with Li Zetian, and then tasted the wine like a gentleman.

Li Zetian put down his wine glass and smiled at Engelberg, "Mr. Engelberg, let's talk while eating." As he spoke, Li Zetian picked up a silver dinner knife and cut a small piece of Kobe steak into his mouth.

Joseph Engelberg saw that Li Zetian was eating, so he also took out the cutlery and ate dinner.

He came to the appointment as soon as he got off the plane, and he was really hungry!

At the dining table, Li Zetian knocked on the side and reminded him many times that it was good to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree.

"J.P. Morgan once said, 'It is not the law that drives history, but money, money, money!! I think this sentence is very reasonable, the power of money is very powerful, Mr. Engelberg, if you want to make a difference in the field of 'service robots', or even achieve proud results, you must be inseparable from the support of money! In fact, you plan to sell Unimation, also for money! In that case, then, I can provide you with money, so why do you have to work so hard to start a new business yourself!"

At this moment, Joseph Engelberg's expression changed, and he was obviously moved by Li Zetian's words. He drank all the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, then looked directly at Li Zetian with his eyes, and said: "Okay, Mr. Li, I have been moved by what you said, if you buy the Unimation company, I am willing to stay in the company! However, you know, the company is not up to me alone, there are other shareholders. They're in talks with Westinghouse if your purchase price is too low......"

Hearing this, Li Zetian was overjoyed, interrupted him and said, "In terms of price, you can rest assured, it will definitely satisfy you." However, I would like to acquire a controlling stake in Unimation by way of corporate financing, rather than buying your shares. Of course, if some of the shareholders really don't want to continue to hold shares in Unimation, I can buy them!"

Joseph Engelberg thought for a moment, nodded and said, "This request can be considered." ”

"Okay, when it's time for formal negotiations tomorrow morning, we'll discuss the specific financing situation! I know you're not here alone, you can go back and talk to them." Li Zetian said.

"Hmm!" Joseph Engelberg nodded.
