Leihe County, Smart Cube Robot Assembly Factory.

The sky in the east is just white, Leihe County is still sleeping, and the dim street lights on the streets are on. The early workers of the sanitation department were sweeping the streets, and the sound of "rustling" sweeping the fallen leaves echoed, spreading far away in the quiet of the morning.

The entrance of the robot assembly plant is brilliantly lit, and the colorful neon lights illuminate the fountain in front of the door, and the spray of water is reflected brilliantly.

More than 20 people lined up outside the entrance of the reception hall, and the people in the team were well prepared, brought their own small tables and snacks, and sat there eating snacks while chatting excitedly with each other.

A taxi drove up and stopped in the open space, and a young man in a jacket got out of the car at the door, and he couldn't help but look stunned as he looked at the procession. "Damn, I thought I was the first to come, and so many people came here."

"Hey, buddy, you're only here at this time, and you still want to be number one? I came here at 2 a.m. and I was only able to squeeze into the top 10. ”

"I'm from Linhai City, it's far away, and it's a little late to get here. After I found out the list of the first batch of customers who bought robots, I took the high-speed train to the provincial capital for the first time, and then borrowed my classmate's car and raced for 400 kilometers. Coming here, I can only rank eighth. ”

"That's pretty good, at least you're in the top ten. You can boast that you are the eighth customer in human history to buy an intelligent robot. ”

Wisdom Cube Robot Company decided to start official sales today, no one knew the news in advance, just yesterday afternoon, the company's website suddenly announced the list of the first batch of 8,000 customers.

The website of the robot company has long accepted the purchase application, and the customer fills in the identity-related information, and then the company draws lots, and the winner can come here to buy the robot within two months, and failure to come within the time limit is deemed to be abandoned.

Only by coming here can you complete the robot owner recognition procedure and truly become the owner of the robot.

As the sky grew brighter, more and more people rushed here. At eight o'clock, the line grew to more than two hundred.

At this time, several TV station reporters came to the scene one after another, and one of them immediately started recording a program at the scene. The hostess in professional attire said to the camera: "Audience friends. Our program team came to the Smart Cube Robot Assembly Factory, and the place where I am standing now is the entrance of the reception hall. We could see that there was already a long queue of customers at the scene. ”

The host walked to the front of the line, and the cameraman hurriedly followed to shoot.

At the front of the queue was a young man in his twenties, and the host handed him a microphone and asked, "Hello, I'm a reporter from the provincial TV station, what time did you come here to line up?" ”

The young man said, "I came here at half past six last night to line up. ”

The host was surprised: "It's so early." As far as I know, the Wisdom Cube Robot Company announced the list of the first batch of customers at about half past three o'clock yesterday afternoon. ”

"No, I'm one of the first customers to sign up for the bot. But I've only been graduating for a few years. There is not so much money to buy a robot. I see myself on the list. First of all, raise money, and when you raise money, you will immediately come to the queue.

The host became interested and asked, "Oh? Did you raise money for a robot in just three hours? ”

"I saw it online. There are many companies that are in urgent need of intelligent robots, as long as they are selected by lottery and become customers of robot assembly plants, they are willing to lend money to customers to buy robots, provided that the robots are rented to their company first, and the rent will be used to offset the loan later. I signed a contract with them, borrowed money, and immediately came to the queue. ”

The host said: "Are you a native of Leihe County?" ”

"yes, so I was able to get here and queue up in the shortest time."

More and more TV stations came to the scene. Many reporters were interviewing customers in line, and the scene became lively. There are many citizens who know that the assembly plant began to sell robots today, and they all came to see the excitement, and when it was close to nine o'clock, the square in front of the reception hall was crowded with people.

A police station of the Leihe County Public Security Bureau is located next to the reception hall. The police have come out to maintain order. The Public Security Bureau also sent additional personnel, and several police cars drove to the scene.

There is a huge LCD screen above the reception hall, and several advertisements for intelligent robots are scrolling at this time. There is a caption between the ads: "The reception hall is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, with no rest on Saturdays and Sundays." Customers are asked to follow the order consciously, and customers who do not follow the advice of the robot will have their purchase quota cancelled. ”

The host of the provincial TV station said to the camera: "The reception hall is working at nine o'clock, this is the world's first unmanned company, and the employees are all robots, let's see if the robots are on time." It's 8:59 a.m. now, and in less than a minute, it's robot time to work. Okay, the last fifteen seconds, ten, nine, eight......"

The people at the scene also counted down: "...... Five, four, three, two, one. ”

As soon as the countdown to the word "one", the outer steel fence of the reception hall gate automatically slid open to both sides, and at the same time, more than 30 robots walked out of the gate post to maintain order on the spot. The robot stopped in front and said, "Please show your ID card, or press card." ”

The bot has downloaded a list of the winning customers in the network to know who the real customers are. Those who are not customers are not allowed to enter the gate, but today there are some exceptions, and given the fact that so many reporters come to cover the event, those with press cards are also allowed to enter.

Behind the gate is a large road, next to the parking lot of the reception hall, walk more than 50 meters, you will reach the main building of the reception hall.

The customers were in good order, walking forward in the order of the queue, and no one rushed forward to grab a seat. With so many robots on the scene, and so many TV cameras facing them, everyone still pays attention to the image.

The young man at the front of the queue was the first to approach the main building of the reception hall, and the automatic glass door slid open to both sides, and several robots inside said politely: "Welcome!" Please take the number to line up, call the number to the corresponding compartment to go through the procedures, thank you for your cooperation! ”

The young man at the front pressed the machine that was queuing up to get the number, and the machine spit out a piece of paper.

At this time, a soft female voice sounded on the hall announcement, "Please go to booth 1 to check in." ”

After the customers entered the hall, the reporters also walked in.

The hall is large, similar to the departure hall of the airport, and. The reporters observed curiously and found that as advertised, the staff here were all robots.

The clerks in the cubicles, the security guards patrolling the halls, and the receptionists at the information desk are all robots. There are a lot of cameras installed in the hall, and there are no dead ends in the monitoring.

The reporters were still very curious about the robot, and stepped forward to pester the robot and ask bizarre questions.

At about ten o'clock, a number of luxury cars began to drive to the gate of the assembly plant and enter the assembly plant with an invitation. These were all guests invited by Li Ying to the celebration.

Originally, Li Ying only planned to hold a celebration party within the company, but when her brother and sister-in-law came, she decided to make it a little more lively. Since it was decided on an ad hoc basis, the preparation time was only a few days, and no one from abroad was invited.

With Li Ying's current status and influence, there is absolutely no reason for those who receive the invitation not to come, even if they are busy with other things, they will temporarily put it off. Not to mention that most of them are members of the nursing home, they will not miss the opportunity to meet with the senior management of the Wisdom Cube, even if there is no such reason, this is also a rare opportunity for the gathering of top celebrities in China, and it is also a good opportunity to expand their contacts.

Li Ying did not invite political figures this time, most of the people who came here today are powerful figures in the business world, there are also celebrities who are popular all over the country, as well as Li Ying's classmates and close friends.

In a corner of the venue, Su Jinbiao took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and took a sip slowly.

A few days ago, I heard Li Ying say that his brother was finally "out of the customs" in the "retreat" to engage in scientific research, Su Jinbiao was very happy, he had a lot of things about the virtual network to ask Li Ying, but Li Ying couldn't get the idea, in line with her always "rather not do it than do it wrong" principle, only said that she would wait for her brother to be free before deciding.

"Mr. Su, it's been a long time."

Su Jinbiao looked back and said with a smile: "Yo, it turned out to be a big director, I heard that your new film is ready to enter Hollywood." ”

The nationally renowned director shook his head, "It's all blown in the newspapers, and I'm still far from Hollywood." Of course, if Mr. Su can support it, it will not be difficult to defeat Hollywood. Mr. Su, our domestic films really need virtual reality technical support. ”

Su Jinbiao said in his heart: "I actually hope that domestic films will rise, but what can I do if you don't fight for it?" This sentence is not easy to say directly, he smiled and said: "Great director, our company allocated a virtual reality movie to the domestic market in the past year, but ...... You also see this box office. I work part-time, and my performance must be seen by the boss. ”

The movie was made by another well-known director in China, and the movie was broadcast on a virtual network, almost equaling the highest box office record among domestic films, but this only relied on the freshness of virtual reality, and compared with several virtual reality movies in the same period, the box office was less than one percent of others.

"Mr. Su, then you put a few more virtual reality movies out of the quota, won't it solve the problem?"

"This is not good, if it is released all of a sudden, everyone will flock to watch virtual movies, and how many people in the film industry will be unemployed now?"

"Well, that's a problem."

Virtual reality movies are much better than traditional movies, and the immersive experience is too good, just like when color movies eliminated black and white silent films, virtual movies will inevitably eliminate traditional movies by virtue of their innate technological advantages.

However, the shooting, recording, soundtrack, and post-production of virtual films are completely different from traditional films, and Su Jinbiao wants to achieve a smooth transition in all aspects of the virtual network according to Li Hao's plan.
