In the next few days, the TV was about the alien robots, many soldiers who participated in the war gave speeches, some of the customers took the opportunity to canvass tickets, and some of the weapons sold began to promote armed protection of their families, etc. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test

It took almost a month to go on, and the popularity continued to rise and was suppressed by news from a company called Usr.

USB Company, an old intelligent robot company, has previously produced products including sweeping robots, robot toll collectors, robot waiters, etc.

Many people say that the company's product gimmick is too practical and not cheap, and it is said that it is about to go bankrupt. However, a few days ago, Usr received a large amount of financing, and the company also announced that their new home robot will be launched soon and the price will be much lower than everyone's expectations.

"Our NS3 home robot is about to be launched. This is an epoch-making product with extremely high intelligence. This will be a new industrial revolution!"

Fan Mang watched the advertisement on TV. The shape of this robot was very similar to that of a human, with human facial features, torso and limbs.

You can customize the appearance. If you use top-quality materials, it looks the same as a real person.

USB company, robot, Fan Mang always feels a little familiar with it.

"Bird of Prey, search for information about robots. Did there be home robots with so many functions before?"

"No. The performance of this robot is the most powerful among the known household robots. The program encoding methods and mechanical materials used make me feel a little familiar."

Fan Mang stopped holding the cup: "Do you think you have a sense of familiarity?"

Shouldn’t those information be top secrets of the military? How can a private company get it? Or is it actually a company secretly controlled by the military?

"We order one of the new robots from usr."

"Don't worry, I've searched, and they have only started to accept the reservation. It may take several months to actually make it." Raptors held a large bucket in his hand, containing a bucket of diesel. He looked up and drank it as a drink, "Master, can you buy gasoline next time? I like that taste more."

"No problem, you can get any drink you like if you have money, and mixed drinks, oil, you can try it next time."

...

Simon Simmons is sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, in Chicago, on the top floor of the UR Group headquarters building.

"Lawrence, I didn't expect you to develop a new intelligent robot so quickly. How much is it expected to be sold and how much can we make?"

The seventh district is gone, and he is no longer a secret staff member of the political axe, and has become a complete Bai Ding. However, as a confidentiality department, he has been prepared for it, and now he has transformed into an investor in Chicago.

He used funds and technology to invest in the USR company because the company was originally studying intelligent robots and also invited Professor Langning, an expert in robot research.

The company's major shareholders were persuaded by Chairman and Ceo Lawrence to invest all the company's funds into the intelligent robot project, and a large amount of loans were made from the bank, and even each shareholder invested a sum of money.

It only took one month to do their theoretical research and development. They also made a prototype, started promoting and accepting orders.

According to what everyone discussed before, they won’t make too much money for a robot, and the profit margin is about 30%, which is already an extremely high profit.

"Simmons, don't worry, we can't make money in this first generation. Maybe we can't even make money in the second generation."

Simmons' body sat upright: "What do you mean?"

Why do you think I invested less and don’t want to share it with me? I have provided the core technology. Without me, can you make such an intelligent robot?

"Simmons, don't worry. Do you know how much money all our shareholders have spent to invest in this project? Including me finding someone to raise funds, our original shareholder investment, bank loans, etc., more than 10 billion US dollars!"

"You don't think that our first batch of products can earn back 10 billion US dollars, right? We are so poorly paid for promotion now, with only three TV stations advertising. We only have online ordering and telephone ordering, no physical stores, no distributors, and no agents. How much do you think we can sell?"

"And at present we only have a market in the United States, and the next step will be expanded to overseas markets. At least the English department market is fine. How much does it cost to invest?"

"We make a thousand dollars of a robot, and to make a back 10 billion, we also need to sell 10 million units. This does not include after-sales service, personnel compensation, R&D expenses, advertising expenses, transportation expenses, etc. In fact, our net profit is far less high."

"Then why not sell more expensive?" Simmons spread his hands, "Our products are expensive, so people are willing to buy them. We are targeting middle-class and above families with houses and cars. This is used instead of butlers, nannies, gardeners and other staff. Even if they sell for $10,000, isn't it expensive?"

"No, Simmons, how many middle-class families can have? Ten million units, that will cost ten million families. Do you think our products can guarantee that every middle-class family will buy one? How long will it take for them to eliminate our products? We need to target all families so that ordinary families can afford it."

"You calculate it. If one percent of the households around the world buy our products, they will have sales of more than 10 million units."

"Our first goal is to get two percent of families to buy. If we can then deduct non-English native speakers, how much is it more difficult to complete the sales of tens of millions of units?"

"In America, the first step is to ensure that ten percent of families buy it. In fact, this is only a few million. This is not a car, and for many families, it is not a necessity."

"We will continue to increase research and development and publicity while selling, first sell part of it to us continue to purchase materials for production, for personnel compensation and advertising, and then increase our user base on the NS4 type products."

"When the NSS5 model is launched, we will be able to allow home robots to enter thousands of households and truly replace other robots with different functions."

"Our best product was the anthropomorphic home robot NSS2. We have a list of many customers and will be marketed in a targeted manner. In the first step, we are ready to trade the old for new ones. Let those people use sweeping robots plus some money to replace our new home robots, so as to quickly occupy the market and ferment the reputation."

"Simmons, you are an important shareholder of the company, but we invest more money, and we also hope to make money as soon as possible. But you can understand this step by step?"

"In a year, at most two years, each of us can become a billionaire!"

"But this year, we don't have a penny of dividends, and we may not have one in the first half of next year, and not the second half of next year, but our company's stocks will be listed."

At least on the books, their stock market value will exceed 10 billion, and the company can easily exceed 10 billion US dollars, or even reach 100 billion US dollars.

Simmons then leaned back on the sofa. He could afford to wait for a year or two. Anyway, all his money had been invested, and all the technical information had been invested, so he could only believe Lawrence's words.

He has also seen the company's products. The intelligence is far inferior and it is indeed necessary to develop a new generation of products. He has never thought that it can be comparable to those alien robots, but it cannot be much different.

"Lawrence, I believe your judgment. I don't know much about the company management, but you know very well what I did before."

If he finds out that Lawrence has any tricks to trick him, don't blame him for being rude. He knows hundreds of ways to make a person disappear without knowing it!

Lawrence's eyes twitched twice: "Haha, Simmons, our core technology was developed based on your information. You are also a shareholder and director of the company. Can you hide anything from you? At most two years later, you can buy a big villa, a plane, a yacht, or a small island, or something to build and play with yourself."

The two chatted for a while before Simmons left. The smile on Lawrence's face disappeared and threatened me? I am the chairman and CEO of the company, and was elected by other shareholders.

You, Simmons, are very powerful, but you have already left there. After two years, how many obedient subordinates do you have? At that time, your assets worth tens of billions of dollars will be what many people will want because this is the chicken that lays golden eggs!

...

A month later, a courier was sent to Fan Mang's home. He took it back to the house and opened it. It was an anthropomorphic home robot.

Fan Mang looked at the manual and found that there were quite a lot of functions on it, and I don’t know if it was really easy to use. The Raptor next to him was scanning the home robot. His eyes were a little disappointed and no life fluctuations were detected.

After giving some simple commands, Fan Mang felt that this was OK, the degree of intelligence was not too high, but he could complete some specific instructions.

For example, you can sweep the floor, wipe windows, hold dishes, weed the lawn, clean the swimming pool, and know that you will go to charge yourself, and you will not leave the yard, know that a stranger breaks into the police illegally, etc.

It is much better than traditional sweeping robots, but it can only do these things.

I heard that Usr is also developing other types of robots, such as those who can repair cars, cook, chat and go shopping with you, etc.

Fan Mang waved his hand and said, "Go and sweep the floor."

"Master, it has a little similarity to me, the materials are similar, the encoding is similar, but he is not my kind."
