Chapter 262 Bankruptcy of USR Corporation
The wheel of the Raptor turned rapidly, knocking over several robots that rushed over. He had already felt that his kind of person was dead, but his spirit was not fluctuating too much.
Seeing a figure coming quickly, his car door opened automatically. Fan Mang did not get in the car, but jumped onto the roof and shot at the surroundings.
After persisting for about five minutes, I suddenly stopped moving when I saw the robot, and my eyes darkened.
Fan Mang then jumped into the car: "Let's go."
The Raptor's wheels turned quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they turned around and moved away from the Usr Building.
Several policemen were fighting with guns on the street against the rioting robots. When they saw that the robots suddenly stopped moving, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Huh~~~
A policeman's hat flew up, and he lowered his head and picked it up: "Do you feel a gust of wind just now? It seems that the robot on the ground was blown."
"You've been drinking. Why don't we feel the wind blows the robot? Hurry up and report the situation to the bureau. The robot's affairs must be solved immediately!"
In a parking lot, Fan Mang sat in the driver's seat and listened to the radio.
[At 1:32 am today, a riot occurred in the UR company's home robots. The robot attacked humans and snatched human weapons. The robots also seized great power weapons. Is the robot really safe? Will our draft Robot Act continue to be implemented?]
[Someone was injured by his own home robot and is currently being treated in Sao Paulo Hospital. The injured said that he would make huge claims against Usr.]
[USR's chairman and CEO Lawrence rejected our interview and did not answer any questions. The company will hold a press conference at 3:00 this afternoon to explain everything today, and our station will continue to report.]
[USR Building was seriously damaged. Someone suspected of jumping off the building, but no body was found. We found the first Chicago Police Chief Spooner who rushed to theUSR Building. Please listen to his answer to the scene.]
[I found Dr. Langning who was trapped in the elevator. Dr. Langning immediately ran to the main control room of Usr Company, started a security program, and forced the shutdown of all Usr Company robots. That's all I know.]
There was no other valuable content on the radio, Fan Mang leaned on the chair: "Bird of Prey, the Sunny who was suddenly lit in the fire, has been killed by me. He can control all the USR robots, and I even suspect that he can control other electronic products."
"Will you be upset that I killed your kind?"
"No. If humans endanger your safety, I will kill humans." The voice of the Raptor did not fluctuate at all. His first goal was to protect his master, and he did not think that his kind of friends were friends. There were so many humans, but he did not see that his master and others were friends.
He had seen someone trying to rob his master, but was beaten up by his master and threw him to the door of the police station.
"Okay, you did a good job today. Is there anything else you are interested in in Chicago? Let's go and have a walk?"
"I want to know the results of the Usr company." Raptor replied.
"Okay, let's wait for the result."
Fan Mang closed his eyes and went to bed in the car. After dawn, he took out the phone and called Spunner: "Hey, are you free today?"
"Fan, I'm sorry. The robot riots in the city early this morning, and my vacation ended early. I can recommend a good tour guide for you, I'm really sorry."
"That's it, then I won't bother. The robot riots are definitely not safe in the city. I'll leave Chicago first. If you have the chance to go to Los Angeles, you can call me."
Fan Mang continued to listen to the radio. The matter has become more lively now. Some people have even marched on the streets, clamoring for Usr to explain, return the goods, and some have asked for compensation for the losses.
Not only Chicago, many other people who have purchased USB robots also require returns. The robots will actually attack the owner, who dares to use this?
There must be problems with the USR company's procedures and compensation must be made!
At this time, the headquarters of the UR company became panic, and the company's employees were also worried. I thought the company would have great development in the future, and many of them even subscribed to some stocks internally, preparing to wait for the company to go public in half a year and make a big profit.
Now let alone going public, it is a good idea if the company does not go bankrupt. What should they do with their investment and what should they do with their jobs?
The major shareholders all appeared in the conference room, hoping to kill Lawrence and Dr. Langning. Their most investment was more than one billion US dollars, and now it seems that they are losing all their money.
Moreover, the company is likely to go bankrupt, or even involve other businesses. If your company goes bankrupt, it will not lose money, and those damaged families will not let them go.
Therefore, someone must stand up to fight these things to avoid their worries.
"Lawrence, how are you thinking?"
Lawrence seemed to have grown up ten years ago this night, and his whole body was in a very poor state and had thick dark circles.
“My family really won’t have any problems?”
"You are not at ease if so many of us promise you? They can live in the UK, go to Canada, or go to Asia. Too much money is impossible, but we can let your family take away all the property they can take away, and I can even give another five million dollars."
Lawrence smiled bitterly. All I could take away was cash, jewelry, stocks, bonds, etc. It sounds so nice. If I give me another five million dollars, I will pay my life!
But when he looked at the expressions of others, if he didn't agree, he might not be able to leave this office today, and his family would also suffer crazy revenge.
"Okay, I promise to take this off. I am the legal person of the company. I will take on this matter and will not let consumers and employees find you."
"But five million is not enough. I want twenty million dollars. My family needs so much money to live. They will take nothing except people."
"You can take away the company's core technology and start a new job. How much is this technology worth? 20 million US dollars, not much at all."
Several major shareholders looked at each other, and the leader nodded: "Yes, 20 million US dollars, we will give it."
"Now, let my family leave. Let's go to Canada. They have always wanted to live in a house by the lake." After Lawrence said this, he was like a deflated ball and collapsed on the sofa.
"Dr. Langning, what about you? You can't do this matter."
Dr. Langning smiled bitterly: "I am responsible for system research and development. 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 morning, the entire factory was paralyzed and the power system collapsed. This is definitely not an accident."
"It's useless to say this. Consumers don't want this kind of explanation. They will think you are making a fuss. You can report it to the police and see if they believe it. Acknowledge that your design mistakes have caused these, and your family can also be compensated. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. You can now try to walk out of the building and see if the families of the angry injured will rush up to beat you to death."
At this time, Simmons was sitting in the corner and was crying without tears. All his property and technical information were invested in the USR company, and now he lost all his money.
Although those shareholders will give him some shares, how many can they have? Others have to invest some money, where can they have it?
He is now working in his mother's store, and the gap between a high-ranking base supervisor and a waiter in his mother's store is too big. He still has to continue working on this waiter's job, and I don't know how long it will take.
Why do robots riots? Is it really because someone has implanted a virus? It won’t be related to those alien robots that can transform, right?
...
At the afternoon press conference, not only the media in various parts of the United States, but also many foreign media also came. They all wanted to hear how Lawrence explained.
"We are very sorry for the failure of the robot this time. No one expected it. According to our investigation, it was because someone maliciously implanted a virus into our control program, which changed the core instructions of the robot."
"Actually, there is no need to worry about robots that have been sold. As long as the network connection is disconnected, it can still be used, but it cannot be automatically upgraded."
"For those injured, we will make appropriate compensation and negotiate with all the injured and their families. Please continue to believe in our Usr Group, and we will provide you with more and better products."
"Fuck! Who dares to use your robot to pay for it!" someone shouted loudly.
Lawrence looked at the security guard, but found that the security guard was indifferent. This was also an arrangement by the shareholders.
"Mr. Lawrence, how do you compensate? The company does not have much working capital on the books and still owes the bank money. I heard that some banks have started to directly deduct your debts, and the material dealer has chased the payment for the goods."
"I will solve it." Lawrence said with all his strength.
"Dr. Longing, why don't you speak? The system was developed by you. You claimed to be foolproof before. Is there any explanation for this?"
Fan Mang was sitting in a small shop, eating steak, and looking at the TV above. This time, Usr Company was very strange, why are only two executives, Lawrence and Dr. Langning, 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 block the hole.
Many families of injured people have sky-high claims, which is more than ten times the highest valuation of USB, so they will definitely not be able to afford it.
A rising robot manufacturing company collapsed like this.
