New Year’s Day

At the end of the three-day holiday, Kuang Guangmei, the group buying project director of Life Online, received an email from Qi Na, the content is very simple, facing all Life Online members, Meike Milk Tea Shop, No. 18 General Lane, free drink.

There is no contact number, no pictures, no time, how can such a group purchase news be released?

She cautiously sent a reply to Qi Na, and a minute later she received a reply from Qi Na: no phone, the picture will be taken by herself, and the time will be permanent, until the store closes. The last sentence requires the whole company to promote it. Half an hour later, I'm going to see this message on the website.

While asking Dai Xiaolan to have a meeting to discuss, she took advantage of Dai Xiaolan's phone call and rushed to No. 18 General Lane, which is where the Qilin Wings are located.

The east corner of the Wings of the Unicorn has been transformed into a bubble tea shop, with an orange décor that is eye-catching and warm. She didn't have time to think about it, she took more than a dozen photos of the bubble tea shop from two angles, and hurriedly returned to the company, ready to discuss the work content with Dai Xiaolan, but Dai Xiaolan told her that the plan had been written, and she could submit the photos for publication.

The project director didn't have time to take a breath, connected his mobile phone to the computer, and then exported the picture, simply processed the size and size of the picture with ps, and then clicked skillfully with the mouse, and released this group purchase information.

She was very strange about this matter, a small bubble tea shop, what CTO Qi Na and deputy general manager Dai Xiaolan would personally ask, is it their small business?

But would they be worth such a small thing?

Thinking of this, she was particularly envious of Dai Xiaolan, just because she came to Life Online relatively early, it is said that the company gave her a lot of shares, seeing that Life Online's influence is getting bigger and bigger, and the listing time is just around the corner, at that time she is a billionaire sister, but unfortunately she is not a man, but I didn't see her interest in that man, it is difficult to be a Lala, or she will go down and follow her.

Kuang Guangmei was thinking crankily, every time she came back to work during the holidays, she always had to be crazy for a long time, and all kinds of emails and complaints had to be dealt with in a timely manner. What she hates the most is to communicate with branches around the country, and there is always a kind of heart that wants to die because of what these **** don't understand.

Although she has the title of a director, she has only three soldiers under her hands, just exported the New Year's Day data, and wanted to conduct an analysis with her subordinates, but unexpectedly found that they were not in their seats, and then found that the entire office was a large space, there were only a few people, and the three or two colleagues who entered the office were holding a cup of milk tea, talking while walking, dancing and jubilant.

Kuang Guangmei asked curiously: "Why did you get the free milk tea?" Is it delicious? ”

The co-workers' eyes widened and they shouted excitedly, "Super cool." ”

A colleague from finance ran out excitedly, found Kuang Guangmei, and said excitedly: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Kwong Kwong Meixin said that she was so excited to drink a free cup of milk tea? As for being so positive?

She was dragged down to the fourth floor by her finance colleague and found that outside the office building, it was already crowded with people. There were bursts of people cheering: "Oh, oh, oh~~~"

Kwong Guangmei was dumbfounded: the first cup of free milk tea this year was actually watched by onlookers.

A cold wind hit, the excited people did not change in the slightest, Kuang Guangmei tightened her coat, followed her colleagues to squeeze into the crowd, with the help of a familiar male colleague, stood in a flower bed, condescendingly, she saw clearly that the bubble tea shop had been surrounded by water.

A huge arm stretched out from the bubble tea shop, and the metallic hand was carrying a packaged milk tea, it was very slow, as if looking for the owner, suddenly stopped, slowly lowered, and the milk tea fell into the hands of a customer.

The customer was also an employee of Life Online, shouting excitedly, and the people around him were also cheering.

Kwong Guangmei's whole body stiffened, and she felt as if she was about to stop breathing.

That's a robotic arm, serving people who buy milk tea?!

The colleague in the finance department shook her desperately and shouted: "Look, look, it's unmanned, the order is IPDA, it will take the initiative to deliver milk tea to you." Look, look, look, there are one, two, three, three robots. ”

NEEDLESS TO SAY, KUANG GUANGMEI SAW IT ALL CLEARLY, THREE MECHANICAL ARMS, NO, IN FACT, SIX MECHANICAL ARMS, THREE OF WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDERING, HOLDING AN IPAD IN HIS HAND, USUALLY THE IPAD WILL BE SENT TO THE ORDERER, ENTER THE PASSWORD SENT BY LIFE ONLINE, OR SHOW THE QR CODE ON THE MOBILE PHONE CLIENT. THE IPAD THEN PROCEEDS TO THE NEXT ORDERER, WHILE THE REMAINING THREE ROBOTIC ARMS WILL PICK UP THE PACKAGED MILK TEA FROM THE WINDOW FOR THE CUSTOMER WHO HAS ENTERED THE PASSWORD.

AMAZINGLY, THESE SIX ROBOTIC ARMS WILL OFTEN SWAP JOBS, AND THE IPAD WILL BE PASSED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It's like a human being to reduce fatigue.

The small window for taking milk tea was pushed open from time to time, and bottles of milk tea were pushed out in order.

Kwong Guangmei suddenly realized, how do those robotic arms recognize each customer? After all, each customer's milk tea cup and type will not be the same, how do they distinguish these customers and accurately deliver milk tea to their hands? And now that the queue order is so confusing, how do they identify the order and guide customers?

There is a camera under the signboard of Meike milk tea, and Kuang Guangmei counted them carefully, and there were as many as 12. Are they really identified by cameras?

She once heard human resources Song Rui mention that the company's CTO Qi Na has developed a virtual fitting software, which uses an ordinary camera to identify customers, and she herself has used this software, which is a super magical feeling.

So at this moment, she immediately thought about whether to use a camera for face recognition!

But in fact, most of the people at the scene were watching the excitement, and they didn't reflect the skills behind this bubble tea shop - the mechanical arm is just the appearance, and the coherent operation of the internal system is the most terrifying.

It's amazing. Kwong Guangmei issued such a sentence of praise from her heart, which is a praise for the flexible robotic arm, and also a praise for this customer identification and disposal system.

Kuang Guangmei didn't have any thoughts at this time, the chaotic team moved forward slowly, everyone was operating their mobile phones, submitting milk tea orders to Life Online, waiting for the moment when they stood in front of the milk tea shop. Kwong Guangmei stood at the back of the line and submitted her order, and when she saw that the order was successfully submitted, she was excited and excited.

General Lane was paralyzed before ten o'clock, that is, less than half an hour after the online group purchase advertisement was hung up, there were more and more onlookers, taking photos, sending Weibo, WeChat, QQ group, QQ space, and sending all kinds of SNS, and people who heard the news came from all directions, so the entire General Lane was impassable, and even the vehicles that were originally parked here had no way to drive out. The drivers who forced them called 122 for help.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the crowd of onlookers finally became serious and even spread to the main road, interfering with the traffic on the main road.

As a result, many drivers heard such a road condition on the traffic radio: General Lane caused people to gather due to special reasons, causing serious congestion on General Lane and nearby roads, and it was recommended that drivers detour.

At first hearing such a sentence, many people thought that there was some mass incident, but with the viral spread effect of the Internet, more and more people know that there is a robot milk tea shop in Jiangjun Lane. This statement is too vulgar and simplistic to cause such a big impact.

But after a large number of pictures and videos of the people at the scene were sent to the Internet, after several rounds of dissemination, through the spread of Weibo and WeChat, the entire Internet was boiling.

"Incredible"

"Is this a sci-fi movie?"

"What kind of movie is this?"

This is the question of ordinary netizens, thinking that it is the viral marketing of a certain movie, but the information of more and more ordinary netizens is constantly being confirmed and confirmed, and the entire world seems to be quiet for a moment at a certain moment.

The conditions of the life online website are unique, and two videos were quickly launched, one is the operation status of the robotic arm in the laboratory, and the other end is the video of the trial operation after the assembly was completed last night.

The release of these videos further demonstrates the operation and performance of the robotic arm, and also confirms the authenticity of the robotic arm from the side.

At the same time, it is also admitted that this robotic arm is closely related to the life online website.

Attentive people soon found that there was a small subtitle on the video, which read: "@麒麟之翼" This is a Weibo account, people were overjoyed with this discovery, and quickly followed this Weibo account, in just one hour, the number of fans of this Weibo exceeded one million.

But this Weibo does not have a word or word, as if it is an empty account that comes out of thin air.

The communication efficiency of new media is so rapid, and the traditional media is not to be left behind, CCTV's news channel does an inexplicable picture news for the first time, and the local Ningnan TV station Jiangnan Satellite TV's live broadcast car has driven over, but it is blocked by a huge number of onlookers, and it can't enter the vicinity of the bubble tea shop at all.

They had to turn to the police.

And the police are afraid that there will be too many onlookers, and the crowd who heard the news continues to gather from all directions, if this scene gets out of control, even if someone shouts, there are thieves, screams, there may be a stampede, then the consequences can be unimaginable, and the police chief's hat will be lost.

So the police set up a cordon on the surrounding roads, and no one was allowed to enter, using the method of only entering and not entering, and controlling the situation.

At the same time, the units in the nearby office buildings are required to immediately recall the employees and not to watch.

And then they ran into trouble, they didn't know the existence of the company Qilin Wings, or they knew the Dao, but they didn't know the relationship between the Qilin Wings and today's bubble tea shop.

In other words, they don't know who the Ludao bubble tea shop belongs to! But that didn't stop them from making a decision: let the bubble tea shop stop opening immediately.

But here's the problem, how to solve it?

First of all, they asked Life Online to come forward to deal with it, but they were categorically rejected by Life Online, there was no reason, no explanation, only one word: no.

What is the status of life online in Ningnan now, the secretary of the municipal party committee has inspected it many times, and every time he speaks at a meeting, he must mention life online, and regard them as the only remaining fruits of Ningnan in the new economic tide. I don't know the situation of the road, and I think this website is opened by the municipal party committee!

So the police curved to the headquarters of the Meike milk tea chain and asked them to come forward, and the Meike milk tea headquarters held an unprecedented meeting to discuss whether to cooperate with the police.

The advantage of not cooperating is that the bubble tea shop can continue to operate and get higher exposure opportunities, this kind of free advertising is not every year, and their franchise hotline is finally as hot as their customer service hotline on this day. The boss's face was stiff and he couldn't laugh anymore.

The final result of the meeting was to take the initiative to report to the interface of the Qilin Wings, and after getting the approval of the Qilin Wings, he spit out a name to the police: Gao Qinglin, and his mobile phone number.

The police were overjoyed, but received an answer: "It is your business to maintain social order, and you will bear the losses caused by not being able to operate?" ”

Then Gao Qinglin hung up the phone.

The crying and laughing policemen turned their heads and looked for industrial and commercial cooperation, and found that this bubble tea shop was opened by a foreigner named Li Wenwen, so they called her, and Li Wenwen answered them very happily: "It is your business to maintain social order, and you will bear the losses caused by not being able to operate?" ”

Not only is the content of the answer the same as Gao Qinglin, but even the tone and attitude are exactly the same, and the rhythm of hanging up the phone is exactly the same.

Communication with the bubble tea shop failed, but there were so many onlookers that they had to honestly gather more police officers to maintain order and start a large-scale clearance, but they had to avoid the crowd who bought milk tea with verification codes and passwords.

Gradually, the crowd of onlookers decreased, and the reporters who were blocked outside were finally able to get up close and personal with the bubble tea shop and appreciate the fantastic shopping experience brought by the robotic arm.

At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and Jiangnan Satellite TV did an unprecedented live broadcast and broadcast this shocking scene that cannot be described in words.

In just ten minutes of broadcasting, Jiangnan Satellite TV's ratings instantly climbed to the first place in the country, and then CCTV's news channel also began to borrow Jiangnan Satellite TV's resources to start broadcasting.

People in front of the TV saw people queuing up in black press, and the flexible movement of six mechanical arms. The camera even captured the changes in the joints of the metal fingers up close.

Suddenly, in front of the camera lens, in the movement trajectory of the mechanical arm, the six mechanical arms stopped moving, and for a moment many people thought that the machine was broken, but the next moment, the six mechanical arms all made a V-shaped gesture. After a brief second, the initial trajectory was resumed.

It's as if a naughty student is looking at the camera and deliberately makes small movements. Full of humanity and mischievousness.

People in front of the TV gasped, and some people looked at it with a poisonous eye, and said something like this: Is this the era of robots?

The reporters and the police finally found the real owner of the bubble tea shop, Qilin Wings, the next day, so the reporters asked for an interview, but were stopped by the security guards hired by the company, these security guards were all special forces who had just been discharged from the army, and were hired with a high salary through Gu Jianzhong's connections. All of them have big shoulders and round waists, and the gaze of their eyes is gloomy, and they don't mind that the other party is the uncrowned king, and their attitude is even a little arrogant, so they don't care about the complaints of the reporters.

The police came to their door and asked them to cooperate with their work and suspend the operation of the bubble tea shop. The reason is to ensure social order.

But the answer they got was simple: we are operating legally, there are no problems, and we will not stop operating.

Just as the policemen were arrogating and slapping the table and scolding, the phone of the secretary of the municipal party committee called the police chief, so the attitude of these policemen changed 180 degrees, and while apologizing, they ran away with their heads bowed and sloppy.

What is unexpected is that the milk tea shop in General Lane has not been properly handled, and on the bustling pedestrian street of Confucius Temple, which is less than seven kilometers away, another Meike milk tea shop is open.

From the time the installation and commissioning personnel left, to the start of business, to being watched in less than three minutes, the road near the Confucius Temple has been blocked, and its scene is no less than the Lantern Festival. All the young salespeople in the shops on both sides of the shop began to line up to buy milk tea.

The police at the scene grabbed the walkie-talkie in fear and shouted for reinforcements. The frightened 110 dispatch thought that he had encountered some earth-shattering bandits.

The exhausted policemen had no choice but to divide into two ways and disperse their efforts to maintain order in the Confucius Temple.

A large number of tourists come and go in the Confucius Temple, and when they encounter this kind of scene, they will easily miss it, but with the efforts of the police, the entire road of the Confucius Temple is occupied by the crowd of queues, and the long queue moves forward slowly.

At the same time, the technicians of the Qilin Wings began to deploy robotic arms throughout the city, and the first step was to transform the existing express boxes in independent spaces.

With the same layout as the milk tea shop in Confucius Temple, the main entrance is fully enclosed, with only one exit, multi-layer folding, and the exit can be large or small, as the entrance and exit for express delivery and parcels. Unlike bubble tea shops, robotic arms only operate in the inner space, not on the outside.

The interior is not simply two mechanical arms, and there is a set of video recognition and capture system with night vision, which can continue to identify packages without lighting at night.

The Qilin Wings Company calls this the Qilin Bucket Room. Meaning there is little space.

Also in Life Online, the logistics system personnel of Life Online began to instill and guide new logistics solutions to all sellers.

Ningnan to Nanjiang, Yancheng, Xishan, Gusu, and the last to Shanghai Qilin Wings Logistics has established a logistics distribution center, but Qilin Wings does not directly deliver in these areas, but cooperates with a number of logistics companies to help them distribute, and at the same time, in some office buildings and universities in these cities, Kirin Bucket Rooms have been deployed.

These logistics companies soon found that there were more and more express mail in the life line, and all they needed to do every day was to transfer the express mail between the two cities, and finally stuff the express mail into the unicorn bucket room, and the value of a large number of personnel in their logistics companies has also changed.

There is no need to pick up the parcel, after the sender makes an appointment, he only needs to send it to the unicorn bucket room, and the robotic arm will affix the barcode to the express.

There is no need to pay cash, it all works through the Life Online system, and the same goes for payments.

What their couriers need to do is to carefully maintain their key customers and provide more comprehensive and high-quality services for them.

Of course, these are all large-scale pre-launch tests conducted by Kylin Wings in cooperation with Life Online in densely populated urban areas.

In the background, Life Online is still promoting the construction of a large logistics platform.

The Qilin Wings has built an express delivery system in the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

These are all things that ordinary people will not notice, and what ordinary people prefer is the deployment news of a bubble tea shop in a city every day of Qilin Wings.
