Early the next morning, all the residents of Raccoon Town received a notice from the City of Montreal that they had found a cougar entering the town and should not go out at night unless necessary.

Ling Shizhe's ranch also received this notice, lamenting that the Canadian government's efficiency is really fast. Looking at the notice, Ling Shizhe thought about it, now there are many people in the factory who are workers in three shifts, and it is almost impossible to ask them not to go out at night, what if they encounter a beast when they commute to and from work at night, if it is a group, it is fine, if it is a single person, it will be troublesome. Not everyone is so calm in the face of wild beasts, once the release accident will have a great impact on the production of the factory.

Thinking of this, Ling Shizhe immediately called Alison and Kirk, the factory security supervisor. After Allison and Kirk rushed to the ranch, they said: "Boss, we have received the government's notice, the workers who work the night shift at night will not have much impact on them, the workers have their own cars, as long as they don't get off the car easily on the way to and from work at night, it shouldn't be a big problem." Instead, I was worried about the safety of the factory in the community, after all, there was our family in the community, and it would be dangerous if the beast skewered into someone's house, and it would be dangerous for the factory to be in the factory if the beast was wandering around. On the way here, I discussed with Kirk, and our suggestion was to set up a 24-hour patrol motor vehicle security team, which is divided into two parts, the factory and the community, to carry out 24-hour patrol in turn, to ensure the safety of the town is the most appropriate. ”

"How many cars do you need?"

"To protect the whole town, you need four police cars and a big truck dedicated to loading and catching wild animals. The Ministry of Security is setting up a security dispatch and command center to direct the patrolling police vehicles. Kirk replied.

"Buy a police car, can a private company buy a police car?" Ling Shizhe was very surprised when he heard Kirk's words, you must know that in the previous life, no one in the Republic except the police department was allowed to equip police cars, but here private people can equip police cars, so he was unexpectedly there.

Seeing Ling Shizhe's surprised expression, Kirk explained: "Boss, of course it is illegal for a private person to have a police car, but we are a company, and the entire town belongs to the property of Ambrera Company, and our company is legally responsible for the safety of the residents of the entire town, and the town does not have a special police station, in consideration of the safety of the town, the company can apply to the Montreal City Police Department for a security department with the function of a miniature police station to be responsible for the security of the entire town." ”

Miniature police station, isn't this a police station in the republic, Canada actually has such a similar institution, and it also allows enterprises to be established, Ling Shizhe was surprised again.

"Yes boss, as long as we apply to the city police department to explain our reasons, and pay a $50,000 annual management fee to the police department, the company can legally have a miniature police station. Like regular police officers, they wear police uniforms, armed with police guns, and drive police cars. It's just that we have to pay their salaries ourselves. In addition, the recruitment of those police officers must be recruited from regular police academies and cannot be as casual as security guards. In addition, the sheriff cannot be arranged by us, it must be arranged by the police department, he will be responsible for the management of the miniature police station, and the company only needs to supervise the finances of the miniature police station. Moreover, the miniature police station cannot be expanded at will, there must be a good reason, once the miniature police station has 50 people, the government will forcibly take it back and turn it into a regular police station. ”

"With so many restrictions, we not only have to pay them an annual management fee, but also the management of the police station has to be handed over to them, and we have to pay the salary, in addition to their equipment, we have to be responsible for their equipment, and they have to forcibly take back more than 50 people! It would be better to set up a police station directly in Raccoon Town, and we should take it easy. ”

Ling Shizhe felt that he was a complete wrongdoer.

Alison smiled and said: "No, boss, this is already the most economical and safest way to deal with it, you must know that our own security guards can't be increased too much, then it will be illegal, Canada's ** law has strict regulations on the number of security personnel of the company, and you must find a security company or find a professional policeman, but Raccoon Town is too small, and the government can't set up a police station, which will increase the cost, and the taxpayer will not agree." Get a security company, the price is too high, and the cost of security for a year alone is more than half a million Canadian dollars. The total cost of applying for a miniature police station for us will not exceed 100,000 Canadian dollars a year, which is very cost-effective. The biggest thing in this is the cost of equipment, but many of them are disposable, police cars are not expensive, a new car for 30,000 dollars is very good, we can buy second-hand, the police department is eliminated, a thousand dollars is enough. Every year, we only need to add some oil and maintenance, and the labor cost is not high, only 800 Canadian dollars per person per month, and the sheriff does not need us to pay, the city police will pay. ”

The monthly salary of the police is 800 yuan, which is the same as that of the workers in the factory, this Ling Shizhe can accept it, and the second-hand police cars and various equipment can be considered, but it is really not high.

"How did Hughes handle this kind of thing before?" Although Ling Shizhe recognized it in his heart, he still wanted to know more, after all, he was an otaku in his previous life, and he didn't have a lot of social contact, not to mention that he is now in a foreign country, and he is the head here, many times he needs to deal with it by himself, and there is no harm in knowing more.

Kirk knew what Ling Shizhe was thinking, and gave him popular science: "In the past, Hughes Company let the community manage it by itself, after all, there were too few people in the factory at that time, and the employees and their families were only in their early 1,000s, and it was not necessary at all, but now that the population of the town is increasing, it is only a matter of time before the establishment of a government and a police station, and yesterday there was another incident where a cougar broke into the town, so it is better to simply establish a miniature police station, after all, it is still more than 300 kilometers away from the city. Once something happens, it's too late; Moreover, our security guards do not have the ability to enforce the law, and many things cannot be handled at all, so it is much more convenient to set up a miniature police station. ”

Alison also chimed in: "Kirk is right, now that there are more people in the town, there will be more things and disputes, and a special agency is needed to manage them; You know, boss, just last month, those housewives set up a committee for women and children, and they set up town management norms and various behavioral ethics to manage the town itself, and there are already rudiments of administration. My wife and your girlfriend are still members of the committee, they are not paid and are obligated, and every family in the town will pay a monthly fund to the committee as the cost of the town's various expenses, there is a special financial management, very transparent, and every quarter they will announce to the residents of the town that the money is spent there, and now they plan to set up a kindergarten and a primary school and a nursing home in the town next year, and most of the money will be used for these expenses. ”

After listening to what the two of them said, Ling Shizhe knew that the town had undergone so many changes under his nose this year, and it actually had its own administrative organization, if they hadn't talked about Ling Shizhe, they wouldn't have known.

After sending Alison and the others away, Ling Shizhe found Li Li and asked about the situation of the Women's Committee, and Li Li asked after telling him carefully, "Why do you ask about this, haven't you always cared about this?" ”

"Yes, I've never asked, don't you think I'm a failure as a boss, I don't care about the lives of the residents of the town except for making money all day long, and I'm still the boss." Ling Shizhe said in a depressed mood.

It is not like the sweatshops in Hong Kong or later on the mainland, where the capitalists only make money, and the workers live or die, and squeeze the surplus value of the workers. Now the West has passed the sweatshop era, operating a business here, especially in a special factory town like Canada, the business owner must care about the living conditions of the residents of the factory town, otherwise it is not a joke to cover a big hat without a sense of social responsibility, the law will punish you with a huge amount of money that you can't imagine, and the company's reputation will also be greatly damaged, and the reputation of doing business in the West is very important, and there is no business without reputation.

Seeing that Ling Shizhe was in a little depressed, Li Li comforted him and said: "You don't need to do this, you have already done a good job, like what happened yesterday, don't you let Alison and Kirk go to set up a miniature police station now, since you opened the company here, you see that the town has changed a lot, what it was like when you were in Hughes Company before, this is what you do for the residents of the town, as for the committee, it will be formed spontaneously when the population of the town increases to a certain extent, and it has nothing to do with whether you care about it or not." Just have those housewives, you men just run the company well, and make this factory town more and more prosperous is the greatest contribution to the town. ”

Ling Shizhe smiled bitterly, Li Li didn't know how high the labor costs of those developed countries in the future would rise. It is not difficult for this factory to make a profit, but the difficulty is that the ultra-high labor costs have far exceeded the ability of the production enterprises to bear, and in addition to the strict tax policy, many factories are overwhelmed and have moved their factories to developing countries.

Li Li's comfort didn't have much effect, but after Ling Shizhe chatted with Li Li for a while, his mood improved. On Monday, Kirk submitted the application and related materials to the Montreal City Police Department, which replied the next day and agreed to the establishment.

The miniature police station started working a week later, and Ling Shizhe set aside a house in the town as the office of the miniature police station, and the sergeant was the old policeman named Bruce who he met last time in Zhou's restaurant.

After spending the weekend, Ling Shizhe returned to the company and began his 5-to-9 commute life.

Seeing that the renovation of the factory was on track, Jim also set up Apple to prepare for the launch of the underwater camera a week after the establishment of the Micro Police Department, and the advertising was already in full swing. The company's sale of underwater cameras in the winter has caused a lot of media ridicule, the sea water in the winter is cold and biting, who will go diving, the company is employees also have objections, but Ling Shizhe said: "No one dives in the winter, and the diving is there?" It is a tropical region, where there is no winter, where the sea water is clear, the underwater scenery is beautiful is the holy place for diving, and the north is a lot worse, that is, there is nothing to see underwater in summer, the winter in the north is a holy place for skiing, the underwater camera can not only take pictures underwater, mountaineering and skiing it is also competent. Don't forget that it also has excellent shock resistance and works normally in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius, and the weather will not affect him in any way. ”

There is no internal dissent within the company, but the outside world's disapproval of him has continued, so it indirectly advertised the new camera, although it was negative, but it also made everyone know about the underwater camera.

On December 10th, this day was the first day of business after Ambrera's flagship store was converted into an electronic hypermarket, and it was also the day when underwater cameras began to go on the market.

The early bird gets the worm, which is a wise saying in the East. Japan is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, so it is natural that it understands the meaning of this sentence. When Ambrera opened the patents related to the second generation of cameras, they began to pay a high degree of attention, and got the technical solutions of the second generation of computer cameras for the first time, through their own expert research, the entire circuit board of the second generation of cameras was much more streamlined, and the ARM series chips were canceled, and all of them were processed with the second generation of Digid image processors, which were more powerful, faster and cheaper. Using Kookmin Semiconductor's power supply IC management solution, it saves 50% more power than the first generation, completely solving the problem of power consumption of computer cameras, and stunned those experts in Japan.

But soon they found that those third-party manufacturers in Europe and the United States were not interested in the second generation of cameras, and they realized that their opportunity had come, just when Ambrera was struggling to sell the second generation of cameras everywhere, major Japanese camera manufacturers came to the door to sign a license contract with Ambrera for the second generation of cameras.

This made Ambrera Company happy, and the second-generation computer camera, which had been struggling to sell for several months, had been unpopular, but it was not expected to be a group. Alison personally took down the Japanese manufacturers one by one, and this time Ambrera also made a big concession.

DigiId affects the price of a single processor at $60, with an annual purchase volume of millions of units, giving a 10% discount, 5 million giving an 8.5% discount, and 10 million giving a 20% discount.

Second, Ambrera guarantees continuous supply to Japanese manufacturers, and guarantees that the image processor will be upgraded every year, and Japan guarantees that the annual purchase volume of each company is not less than five million, and if it is less than five million, the discount will be automatically canceled.

Third, Japan is responsible for the production of camera lenses, and does not purchase Ambrera lenses, and Ambrera does not forcibly sell camera lenses to third-party manufacturers.

At the same time, major camera manufacturers in Japan have also signed a contract with the U.S. National Semiconductor Corporation for the supply of power IC chips. Kookmin Semiconductor Co., Ltd. provides power supply IC chips to various camera companies in Japan, and also opens patents related to power management technology solutions for free to Ambrera Inc., and only sells power supply IC chips. And ensure that the supply is sufficient and the goods are uninterrupted.

When the contract was finally signed, Ling Shizhe already knew that third-party camera manufacturers in Europe and the United States would never have a chance, and they were destined to be ruthlessly eliminated by the market from this moment on. Japan reacted too fast, since Ling Shizhe opened the second generation of computer camera technology, Japan's major camera giants have keenly felt that the continuous upgrading of computer cameras every year is the foundation of the survival of electronic enterprises.

They waited patiently for a few months to come to the door to negotiate with Ling Shizhe to obtain the chip purchase price they were satisfied with, this kind of everything is to give the original position of the European and American third-party computer camera manufacturers and a fatal blow, Ling Shizhe can fully imagine what kind of impact the sudden collective listing of a large number of second-generation computer cameras will bring to the market, then the third-party camera manufacturers in Europe and the United States do not know how many will fall in this reshuffle, if they reflect fast enough to keep some of the market, if it is still so brainless, It's just going to be knocked out.

Ambrera in North America, the major electronics hypermarkets, before the time to open for business, there have been a lot of people in front of the store, they lined up in a long line until two hundred meters away, not afraid of the biting cold wind, they only came for the second generation of cameras and the new underwater rugged camera.

"Nine o'clock, wow~~~Wow~~~Wow~~" The store finally opened. Thousands of users poured into the hypermarket, ran past one booth after another, and came to the experience area to experience the second generation of computer cameras for the first time, and soon the experience area was overcrowded. In the store, the factory personnel were separated, and the crowd quickly dispersed around the store, just like visiting an ordinary household appliance shopping mall, with a critical eye to the salesperson to talk about the computer camera products that were being promoted.

On this day, after months of brewing and heating up in the market, as well as the foundation laid by the first generation of cameras, the second generation of computer cameras exploded as soon as they were launched, and the number of sales continued to rise, and on this day it reached an unprecedented new height.

New York hypermarket, the day sold 29,205 second-generation computer cameras;

Washington hypermarket, daily sales of second-generation computer cameras reached 27,816 units;

The San Francisco hypermarket sold a total of 36,930 second-generation computer cameras on the same day;

The Houston hypermarket, which sold 26,851 second-generation computer cameras throughout the day;

……

Ambrera's hypermarkets in other cities across the country are no less popular than the three first ones. During this period of time, the 42 hypermarkets in the United States have been showing a state of almost rapid growth, and on this day, a total explosion has been achieved.

The fiery state of the store is already visible to even the dullest people. In the past, there were many people who came to visit the store, but there have never been so many people as there are today, so many that everywhere you go, you can see people dangling around. With so many customers stranded inside, the temperature in the store has risen dramatically.

In front of the entire hypermarket is a steady stream of customers, while outside the back warehouse parking lot, there is a steady stream of delivery vehicles rushing back and forth.

It was 12 o'clock at noon, and the store was supposed to be free because of the lunch break, and the number of people did not decrease at all. More and more people are entering the store to buy second-generation computer cameras, and man is a social animal and is particularly susceptible to the group atmosphere.

Driven by this frenzied buying tide, some customers who were just going to take a casual look and had no intention of buying saw that a certain computer camera product they liked was sold out one after another, and they couldn't help but take out their banknotes and rush to buy one.

Correspondingly, a large number of second-generation cameras were sold, while first-generation cameras were not sold. The second-generation computer camera products in stock in the store are getting smaller and smaller, and by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, some companies have sold out of inventory. Some companies only have 100,000 units in stock in total, and they have sold out early in this shopping frenzy.

Ambrera's Apple computer cameras were prepared for this launch, and 500,000 underwater cameras were sold out in the first one.

The second-generation computer camera was on fire, and Ling Shizhe's camera upgrade plan was successful.
