179 Riverside No. 8
Jianghai City's Binjiang Avenue, located on the east bank of the city's mother river, is a new landscape walking path created by the government after the development of the East District more than ten years ago. As for the name www.biquge.info it is really not new, it is like almost every city has a people's square, and the roads by the river like to be named Binjiang.
Although it is not as famous as Zhongshan Avenue across the river, in recent years, with the continuous construction of the financial district around Binjiang Avenue, a variety of modern buildings with beautiful shapes have been rising from the ground, attracting many tourists to come here to watch.
At the beginning of the planning of Binjiang Avenue, there were only 12 shops along the inner side of the boulevard, but later the renovation and extension of Binjiang Avenue added three shops. There are a total of 15 shops, all of which are two-storey small buildings, known as the 15 stores in Binjiang, the smallest one is also 2,000 square meters, and the largest one covers an area of 5,000 square meters.
Not to mention the high rent of these 15 shops, the owner only provides the entire building for rent for image considerations, and also has requirements for the tenant's brand and format. Of course, this is also related to the state-owned background of the owner's unit, and it is categorically not daring to do so if it is replaced by a private owner. All of the above directly leads to the fact that the merchants who settle here are basically well-known brands at home and abroad, especially every time Binjiang No. 8, the largest shop changes hands, it often makes the pages of local metropolitan newspapers.
This time, the former tenant of Binjiang No. 8, a well-known domestic high-end restaurant group, withdrew from Binjiang No. 8 three months ago due to the downturn in the high-end catering market after three consecutive years of lease. Subsequently, the building was tightly surrounded by the construction curtain, and when you got closer, you could only hear the sound of various decorations in the building, and after the pedestrians dispersed late at night, there were container trucks to send tightly packed materials.
Such a mystery naturally makes the curiosity of the citizens bubble. On the first day that Binjiang No. 8 was wrapped, on the largest local forum in Jianghai City, someone posted a solution, "Who is the new owner of No. 8?" At first, only a few dozen people participated in the interaction, but as the renovation project lasted for more than a month, the curtain was still unsealed, and more people began to be curious. After all, according to common sense, the rent-free period for tenants to renovate shops in this kind of area is very short, and it has not been done for more than a month, which shows two points: the first is definitely a big project, and the second is that the new tenants have a lot of money.
After the renovation project lasted for two months, there were already good people who went to the site to investigate, but the cover was too good and found nothing. There are also netizens who work in nearby office buildings who specially posted: Nima, I deliberately brought a telescope to the company today, wanting to find the answer from the sky above No. 8, but even a curtain was installed above the roof, and not even a single hair was exposed!
It wasn't until the heated discussion on the Internet alarmed the local media that a reporter from Jianghai Daily, a metropolitan newspaper with a high circulation in Jianghai City, dug up the news from the management committee of Binhai Avenue: Infinite Future Technology Company has rented Binjiang No. 8 and will build its first flagship store!
When the news was released, it immediately upgraded from local news in Jianghai City to domestic hot news and IT headlines. This technology company is the biggest outlier in the domestic business world in the past two years, the whirlwind rise, transcendent products, unattainable performance, when people position it as a new Internet giant, it has miraculously transformed the aerospace industry, and also made a new battery alliance, so that the battery manufacturers in Japan and South Korea have been crying and fainting in the toilet. In short, as long as you are involved with this company, there will be no shortage of news, and there will be moments of miracles from time to time.
The media asked Infinite Future for confirmation and quickly got a positive answer, but all the questions about the official opening date of the flagship store and the specific content of the flagship store were not answered positively.
Three months have passed, and the curtain outside Binjiang No. 8 is still on duty, and what is even more odious is that Infinite Future Company has sent a number of security guards to come to the construction site 24 hours a day to be on duty, so that all those who want to find a gap to break in are in vain. Gradually, some people on the Internet hilariously referred to Binjiang No. 8 surrounded by curtains as a new scene of the river and sea, fully demonstrating the perfect combination of modern art and installation art.

Liu Bin is a reporter for Jianghai Daily and a digital product enthusiast. He was the first person to break the news of the new tenants of Binjiang No. 8.
That night, he had just finished an event interview and went directly to a café to catch up with the manuscript. The email software suddenly pops up a new email. Then after clicking on it, Liu Bin suddenly couldn't sit still.

Inside Binjiang No. 8, Chen Wenhao stood at the door of the lobby on the ground floor, accompanied by Fang Yuxin, she glanced at the mobile phone in her hand, and said, "Binjiang Avenue stipulates that trucks from shops are only allowed to pass after eleven o'clock in the evening, and there are still three minutes, and the master is already waiting at the crossing to come in." ”
After a pause for a few seconds, she asked curiously, "Boss, what novelty did you get?" ”
Chen Wenhao smiled neatly, "Lady have to be patient, you will be able to see it soon." ”
Fang Yuxin, as the group's big housekeeper, has participated in a lot of flagship store decoration matters, and it was supposed to be Luo Liang or Jin Wei to accompany her tonight, but it happened that these two people were on a business trip in the field, and the errand of accompanying the big boss to the flagship store for on-site inspection naturally fell on her head.
In the center of the lobby on the ground floor of the flagship store, a pedestal with a length and width of 15 meters was left, which was made according to Chen Wenhao's requirements, and Chen Wenhao also took care of the things that were ready to be placed, but at least no one saw it. Seeing that the flagship store was about to open, everyone was thinking about finding an opportunity to urge, and Chen Wenhao suddenly said that it was ready and could be installed on site. That's why we got this trip tonight.
After a while, the heavy trucks that were released came to the door of the store, and several security guards on duty quickly stepped forward to open the curtain of the unloading area, and several standard containers were unloaded. When the door of the container marked No. 1 is opened, a batch of machines of different shapes with their own travel wheels automatically emerge from the cabinet and begin to disassemble the other containers without hesitation. Everyone except Chen Wenhao opened their mouths wide and froze in place.
"Don't be nervous, it's actually an industrial robot, I've done some modifications, and I can work automatically." Chen Wenhao explained with a smile. The thing he wanted to put here was too big, and if he took the overall regular transportation, it would be easy to be discovered, and there would be no surprises. In the end, Xiaoka suggested that several existing industrial robots should be equipped with mobile devices, and then controlled by it to realize on-site assembly. Anyway, the people who can appear at the scene are all employees of the company, receiving generous confidentiality subsidies and signing a strict confidentiality agreement, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets.
The movements of the industrial machinery are meticulous and orderly, and in a short time, the components in the container are ready to take shape.
"It feels like watching a sci-fi movie." Fang Yuxin had already relieved the initial shock, and had already observed several laps around the industrial robot working from a distance just now, she leaned over and asked a little uncertainly, "Are they assembling an airplane?" ”
"To be precise, it is a space vehicle, and it will also be a stepping stone for our company to enter the aerospace industry."
