Chapter 262 USR Corporation goes bankrupt

The raptor's wheels spun rapidly, knocking over several robots that rushed towards it. He had already felt his own kind die, but his spirit didn't fluctuate much.

Seeing a figure come quickly, his car door opened automatically. Fan Mang didn't get into the car, but jumped on the roof of the car and kept shooting at the surroundings.

After holding on for about five minutes, I saw that the robot suddenly stood still, and its eyes darkened.

Fan Mang jumped into the car at this time: "Let's go." ”

The Raptor spun its wheels quickly, making a U-turn in the blink of an eye, away from the USR building.

Several police officers fought the rioting robots with guns in the streets, and they were relieved to see that the robots suddenly stopped moving.

Call~~~

A policeman's hat flew up, and he looked down and picked it up: "Do you feel a gust of wind passing just now?" It was as if the robot on the ground was blown away. ”

"You've been drinking, what wind can blow robots, why don't we feel it? Hurry up and report the situation to the bureau, the matter of the robot must be solved immediately! ”

In a parking lot, Fan Mang sat in the driver's seat, listening to the radio broadcast.

[At 1:32 a.m. today, there was an unexplained riot in the domestic robots of the USR company, the robots attacked humans, snatched human weapons, and robots snatched high-power weapons, are robots really safe? Will our draft Robotics Act continue to be pursued? 】

[Someone was injured by his own domestic robot and is currently being treated at the São Paulo Hospital, and the injured said that they would make a huge claim against USR.] 】

[Lawrence, chairman and CEO of USR, declined our interview and did not respond to our questions.] The company will hold a press conference at 3 p.m. today to explain everything that happened today, and this station will continue to report on it. 】

[The USR building was badly damaged, and it was suspected that someone had jumped off the building, but no body was found.] We found Chicago Police Department Sergeant Spner, who was the first to rush to the USR building, and asked everyone to listen to his answer to the scene. 】

[I found Dr. Ronning trapped in the elevator, and Dr. Ronning immediately ran to the USR company's main control room, activated a security procedure, and forcibly shut down all USR robots, and that's all I knew.] 】

There was nothing else of value on the radio, Fan Mang leaned back in his chair: "Raptor, the Sonny who was suddenly ignited, has been killed by me, he can control all the USR company robots, and even I doubt that he can control other electronic products." ”

"Would you be upset that I killed your kind?"

"No, it won't. If there are humans who endanger your safety, I will kill them too. "The raptor's voice doesn't have any mood swings. His first goal is to protect his master, and he doesn't think of his own kind as friends. There are so many human beings, and I haven't seen the master and everyone else be friends.

He had seen someone try to rob his master, but he was beaten up by his master and thrown at the door of the police station.

"Well, you did a good job today. Is there anything else in Chicago that interests us to go around? ”

"I would like to know the results of USR." The Raptor replied.

"Okay, we'll wait for the results."

Fan Mang closed his eyes and slept in the car, and when it was dawn, he took out his phone and called Spner: "Hey, are you free today?" ”

"Fan, I'm sorry. There was a robot riot all over the city in the early hours of this morning, and my vacation ended early. I can recommend a good tour guide for you, really sorry. ”

"Well, then don't bother. Robot riots, the city is definitely not safe, I'll leave Chicago first, if you have a chance to go to Los Angeles, you can call me. ”

Fan Mang continued to listen to the radio, and the matter has become more lively now, and some people have even marched on the streets, shouting for an explanation from USR, returning the goods, and some demanding compensation for losses.

Not only in Chicago, but also in many other places where USR robots have been purchased, they have also asked for returns. The robot will actually attack the master, who would dare to use this?

There must be something wrong with the procedure of the USR company and it must be compensated!

At this time, the headquarters of USR became panicked, and the employees of the company were also full of sadness. I thought that the company would have a lot of development in the future, and even many of them subscribed for some shares internally, ready to wait for the company to go public in half a year and make a lot of money.

Now let alone going public, it's good that the company doesn't go bankrupt. What about their investments, what about their jobs?

The major shareholders all showed up in the conference room, eager to kill Lawrence and Dr. Ronning. Their largest investment is more than a billion dollars, and now it looks like they're going to lose all their money.

And there is a high chance that the company will go bankrupt and even implicate their other businesses. If your company goes bankrupt, you won't lose money, and the families who are damaged won't let them go.

So someone has to stand up and stand up to these things in order to avoid their worries.

"Lawrence, how are you thinking about it?"

Lawrence seemed to be ten years old overnight, and his whole mental state was extremely poor, and he had thick dark circles under his eyes.

"My family really won't have a problem?"

"So many of us have promised you, and you are still not at ease? They can go to live in the UK, they can go to Canada, they can go to Asia. Too much money is out of the question, but we can get your family to take all the possessions they can, and even I personally can give another five million dollars. ”

Lawrence smiled bitterly, all he could take away was some cash, jewelry, stocks, bonds, etc. What a nice thing to say, give me another five million dollars, and I will pay for my life!

But he looked at the expressions of the others, and if he didn't agree, I was afraid that he would not be able to leave this office today, and his family would suffer crazy revenge.

"Okay, I'll take this on my shoulders. I am the legal person of the company, and I will take care of this matter, so that consumers and employees will not find your head. ”

"But five million is not enough, I want twenty million dollars, my family needs so much money to live, they will take nothing but people."

"You can take the company's core technology and start anew, how much is this technology worth alone? Two million dollars, not much at all. ”

Several major shareholders looked at each other, and the leader nodded: "Yes, 20 million US dollars, we will give." ”

"Now send my family away and go to Canada, they've always wanted to live in a house by the lake." After Lawrence said this, he collapsed on the couch like a deflated ball.

"Dr. Ronning, what about you? You can't do it this time if you don't show up. ”

Dr. Langning smiled wryly: "I am in charge of system research and development, and of course I can't get away with this matter. But it shouldn't be like this, someone must have implanted a virus program. And in the early hours of the morning, the entire plant was paralyzed and the power system collapsed, which was definitely not an accident. ”

"It's useless to say that, consumers don't want this kind of explanation, they will think you're quibbling. You can talk to the police and see if they will believe it. Admit that you made a design mistake that caused this, and your family can also be compensated. It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, you can try to get out of the building now and see if the angry families of the injured will rush up and kill you. ”

At this time, Simmons, who was sitting in the corner, wanted to cry without tears, all his property and technical data were invested in the USR company, and now he has no return.

Those shareholders who set up a new company, although they say that they will give him a little shares, how many can they have? Everyone else has to chase a sum of money, where does he have it?

He is now working in his mother's shop, from a high-ranking base supervisor to a waiter in his mother's shop, the gap is too big. And this waiter's work, he has to continue to do it, I don't know how long.

Why did the robots riot, is it really because someone implanted the virus? It can't have anything to do with alien robots that can transform, right?

……

At the press conference in the afternoon, not only the media from all over the United States, but also many foreign media also came, and they all wanted to hear what Lawrence had to say.

"We are very sorry for the failure of the robot this time, which no one expected. According to our investigation, it was because someone maliciously implanted a virus into our control program and changed the core instructions of the robot. ”

"Actually, the robots that have been sold, you don't have to worry. As long as you disconnect from the network, you can still continue to use it, but you can't upgrade it automatically. ”

"For those who are injured, we will make appropriate compensation and we will negotiate with all the injured and their families. Please continue to trust us at USR Group, we will provide you with more and better products. ”

"Fart! Who would dare to use your robots and lose money! Someone shouted.

Lawrence looked at the security guards, only to find that the security guards were indifferent, which was also arranged by the shareholders.

"Mr. Lawrence, how do you pay compensation? The company does not have much liquidity on its books and still owes money to the bank. I've heard that some banks have started to directly deduct your arrears, and there are also material vendors who are chasing the money. ”

"I'll fix it." Lawrence said stiffly.

"Dr. Ronning, why don't you speak, the system was developed by you, and you claimed to be foolproof before, do you have any explanation for this?"

Fan Mang was sitting in a small shop at this time, eating steak and looking at the TV set above. USR is very strange this time, why are only two executives, Lawrence and Dr. Ronning, coming forward, and the other executives?

It seems that the bankruptcy of USR is certain, the company's headquarters building will be auctioned, and all the company's assets will be auctioned, which will not close that hole.

Many of the injured people's family members claim sky-high amounts, which together are more than 10 times the highest valuation of the USR, and they absolutely cannot afford to pay for them.

A rising robot manufacturing company collapsed with a bang.

"Master, the contact device that Optimus Prime gave you has a call request."
