Chapter 38 Confrontation 3 (Part 1)

November 15

6:03 am

Le Xiao struggled to open her eyes amid a violent shaking.

"Get up quickly, we're going to the ground floor after washing up."

Le Xiao glanced at it blankly, and then pulled the quilt over. She wanted to sleep for a while. Anyway, she didn't have to report to the General Affairs Department today. She had to go to the shop on the ground floor. C roughly pulled off the sheets and opened the curtains. , the sun shone in, and Le Xiao was directly picked up by C.

"Cousin, when did you get up so early?"

Le Xiao was a little surprised. Although she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, Le Xiao's impression of her cousin Le Ying was still in her student days. C smiled in a good mood.

"If I didn't get up, I wouldn't be where I am now."

Le Xiao was right when she thought about it. The only difference between now and before is that before, you only had to get up at 7 o'clock, but now you have to get up at 6 o'clock. There is no leisure time at noon and afternoon, and there may be more and more things in the future.

C has already washed up and finished exercising. She usually gets up on time at 5 o'clock every day. This is a habit she has maintained since the School of God.

"Hurry up, I'll give you 20 minutes to take a shower. People from Section 5 should already be waiting on the roof."

Le Xiao hummed and hurriedly rushed into the bathroom. C turned up the light and shadow screen. Early this morning, a headline dominated the news, and it was about the Su family.

The ATL brand company under the Su family has recently launched a rental experience event. It will be launched at 30 stores in the city at 8 o'clock this morning. Go to the official ATL page. Hundreds of clothes are already listed on it. These clothes can be rented. Yes, in terms of money per day, the highest is less than 2 yuan, and the lowest is 10 cents.

C is a little strange. After all, if you do this, it will most likely put this brand, which has already suffered a lot of criticism and criticism, into an even more embarrassing situation. This brand is aimed at young people and was established thirty years ago. , is already a very old brand.

Moreover, this kind of rental does not require a deposit. It only needs to be calculated based on the weight at the time and a rental contract is signed. The contract has also been published on the page. C glanced at it and found that there were no so-called loopholes and very detailed rules. Wear and tear compensation and other instructions.

The most important thing is that this contract has been recognized by the Law Department, which means that if both parties violate the terms of the contract, they will be sanctioned by the law, and the law will be directly enforced.

C did some calculations and found that if you rent a piece of clothing for 10 cents for a week, it will only cost about 3 yuan including wear and tear. It seems to be a good deal. In the upper right corner of ATL’s official website page, there is a picture of the family patriarch. The image has been changed to Le Xiao.

"It's really fast."

At 6:15, Le Xiao walked out of the bathroom in neat uniforms and went upstairs with C. Sure enough, the lift for Section 5 was already waiting, and a director officer from Section 5 was standing next to the lift.

"Master Le Xiao, Miss Le Ying, please."

Le Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"Excuse me, I'm not very good at driving a helicopter yet."

Lexiao actually doesn’t know how to drive at all. Although there is an autonomous driving mode, the most important thing is that this kind of lift is not yet equipped with an AI system, and many judgment and other mechanisms still need to be completed manually.

The lift arrived at the ground floor in just 15 minutes. On the brand-new streets of District 118, there was a long queue at the entrance of the hospital, and the store was also open. Ma Tao was sitting inside. Now the responsibility of the store has been transferred to the local government. Section 5, Section 6 and Section 7 are assisting, collecting various rental data.

As soon as the lift landed, reporters who had been waiting around rushed over. C followed Le Xiao into the store. Ma Tao immediately asked someone to stop the reporters. Many people on the street stopped and watched. .

The recent news about Le Xiao is one after another, which is too exciting. The first is that she is now the acting section chief secretary of Section 13, and the second is that she has become the patriarch of the Su family. She has become a brilliant The darling of the city's media, as long as Le Xiao is there, a large number of reporters will be stationed there.

After entering the store, Ma Tao immediately walked over and took out some reports collected and compiled in the past few days. Le Xiao walked to the side of the glass room and sat down at the table. He looked at it carefully, and C followed.

"Cousin, aren't you going to make a movie?"

Leying shook her head.

"I don't have any roles in movies recently, so of course I can only wait and see what happens every day."

After C finished speaking, he said to go upstairs to rest. Le Xiao nodded and started to read.

Within a few minutes, Le Xiao already felt his scalp numb, because after a few days, it was obvious that the actual effect of this mechanical ball was much better than that of humans, because there was no need to eat or sleep, and it could work 24 hours a day without sleep. As long as there is electricity as an energy source and maintenance can be carried out, a mechanical ball can create more than 200 yuan in profit for an owner a day.

What should we do? If this kind of thing really comes on the market, many people will be unemployed.

Le Xiao was worried. The rental fee for this kind of mechanical ball is 100 yuan a day, and it can be used for 48 hours on a single charge. Even if it does some transportation work, it can be used for more than 30 hours. The advantages are too obvious.

An ordinary worker, even a mutant who starts with 100 yuan a day, can do less than one-fifth of what a mechanical ball can do in a day.

The owner of a restaurant rented a robot ball to replace manual delivery. Previously, manual delivery was 50 cents within the area and 1 yuan outside the area, while the delivery person could get 60% of 30 cents within the area and 60 cents outside the area. No matter how fast a person runs or how hard he works, 50 orders a day is the limit.

Moreover, many people only work part-time as deliverymen during mealtimes to earn some extra money. They earn less than 100 yuan a month from delivery. However, the robot ball rented by this boss actually completed a terrifying 400 orders a day, and all the delivery fees went into the boss's pocket.

According to the average 60 cents per order, the boss made 240 yuan just from delivering food. After deducting the 100 yuan rent per day and the 40 yuan charging fee, the boss can still pocket 100 yuan steadily.

And these 400 orders require at least 20 people to deliver. It seems that the boss can earn 96 yuan in delivery fees for 20 people to complete the orders. In fact, the boss can get higher income by using the robot ball to deliver food.

400 orders is the limit for human labor, which means that there is no upper limit for the delivery of meals by the robot ball, and it flies at low altitude. The delivery distance is a straight line, and then it can be dropped, which greatly saves time cost and allows the boss to cover a wider range of catering.

This is not something that human labor can reach at all. In fact, the net profit of this restaurant owner is as high as 1,000 a day, because although the space of the robot ball is limited, it can hold 10 servings of food at a time, and it only takes 20 seconds to reach a straight distance of 1 kilometer, which is the most stable delivery state of the robot ball.

And because the robot ball is equipped with AI, it has very powerful data processing capabilities, which can accurately deliver meals to the hands of the orderer, and accurately locate the person who picks up the meal through monitoring in the streets and alleys.

It only takes 1 minute to deliver a meal, and the meal time is from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the afternoon. In 2 hours, at least 120 orders can be delivered, and the boss does not need to plan anything at all. The restaurant only needs to prepare the food, put the meal coupon code after loading, and the robot ball will automatically recognize and automatically plan the shortest delivery route and the fastest delivery mode area.

The food mechanical ball can also be neatly and appropriately placed inside the ball through the mechanical hand. Although there can be 20 to 30 people delivering food in the afternoon, the efficiency is low because there are fewer people delivering food in the afternoon. However, the delivery efficiency of some meals in the afternoon is infinitely improved by the mechanical ball.

This advantage is more obvious at night. Now many people in the area who are far away from the place where they buy food and tea will open the windows of their homes or go directly to the rooftop to wait after ordering, and they can get it in less than 3 minutes.

Many people are very satisfied with this efficiency, and now some people even rent mechanical balls to carry out material transportation and handling work.

Because the Brilliant City has completely abolished cars, many times the transportation of materials from one place to another is done by some mutants, who can carry several tons of things at a time and carry them very quickly.

The mechanical ball can also be made larger. The maximum load-bearing capacity is currently 3 tons. The key is the speed advantage. Although a 3-ton object placed under the mechanical ball will make the speed less than 10 meters per second, it is also much faster than a person.

Especially for some high-altitude operations, the mechanical ball simply brings out its advantages to the fullest. Le Xiao is getting more and more anxious, especially what Alpha said about the mechanized era that night, Le Xiao just feels very stressed.

Although the mechanical ball has a very high maintenance cost, according to the test results of the actual market launch, this kind of mechanical ball needs maintenance about once a week, and the maintenance cost ranges from 500 to 1000, and it may exceed 3000 a month, but this is only 10% of the value of the mechanical ball that can produce thousands of yuan a day.

"By the way."

Le Xiao stood up. She knew very well that the capital market is very optimistic about this mechanical ball. If she sees such excellent data, capital will definitely drive the parliamentarians to vote to put the mechanical ball on the market and let 10 science open the corresponding technology.

Once the technology is open, it means that the technology will be more mature, the cost will continue to decrease, and the technology will get better and better. This is what capital likes most.

"What should I do."

Le Xiao folded her hands, and Ma Tao smiled and brought in two hot breakfasts.

"Master Le Xiao, you haven't had breakfast yet."

Le Xiao patted her forehead in surprise. It was almost 8 o'clock. She actually forgot to have breakfast. She was just hungry. Ma Tao turned and went upstairs. After entering the living room, he immediately stood up and walked over respectfully.

"I have arranged people around to ensure that everything is safe."

C nodded and stood by the window exhaling smoke. She was always staring at the people passing by. Many people would stop and take a few glances when they passed by. The shop was full of people. 10 people from the 7th department were waiting for review.

Currently, only 20 mechanical balls are provided in the area for testing. 8 have been rented out, and there are 12 left. Many businessmen want to rent them, but they need to meet the qualifications and industry quota allocation.

"Any other instructions, sir?"

Ma Tao asked with a smile, and C shook his head.

"You can just help Secretary Le Xiao in the shop below."

Ma Tao left the room. He knew after seeing C that this woman was a senior executive of Section 2. Although he didn't know what she was going to do as Le Xiao's secretary's cousin, she was definitely investigating the rioters. In the past few days, Ma Tao has arranged for people from Section 5 to patrol along the street, mainly patrolling this street.

When Ma Tao returned downstairs, Le Xiao had finished eating. Ma Tao immediately cleaned up. Le Xiao hurriedly stood up,

"Master Le Xiao, you continue to be busy, I am just an idle person."

Le Xiao smiled awkwardly and could only continue to bury her head in reading. She felt that her head was very big now. It was impossible to find a way to weigh this bill. At this time, Le Xiao thought about it and thought about it. Although she thought of a way, how to convince the members of Congress was a big problem.

If both sides give in, wouldn't the problem be solved? Le Xiao thought so. The biggest function of this mechanical ball is to deliver food. If it is only open for business, it should not cause any impact.

After all, many people deliver food for extra money, and there is another reason why Le Xiao thinks so. After seeing the work report on the mechanical ball this morning, Le Xiao immediately thought of the agricultural base construction plan in the Barrier Zone. The sooner the base is built, the sooner those people in the Barrier Zone who are in the dark and cold wind can bathe in the sun one day earlier.

Le Xiao still clearly remembers the scene she saw when she was brought to the Barrier Zone by Gene for the first time, and when a violent conflict almost occurred that night, she did see everything in the Barrier Zone, and it felt like her soul was out of her body.

Le Xiao saw more things, as if she was quickly browsing the Barrier Zone with the shining sunlight, and the impression in her mind was very strong.

At this time, Le Xiao's mind appeared a person, a panicked face, and weird behavior, especially two fingers missing from his left hand. Le Xiao had definitely seen this person, but she just couldn't remember it.

Le Xiao hadn't told anyone about this. After all, it was better not to tell anyone about this dream-like thing. And that Ellie, Le Xiao was a little annoyed. Ellie came to see him again last night, and she always scared him half to death.

Le Xiao got up with satisfaction and clapped his hands. He felt that the problem had been solved. Looking at the merchants who had entered the store and registered in front of some 7 department staff, they all wanted to rent the mechanical ball. Le Xiao walked over and planned to take a look.

At this time, a businessman in the crowd looked at Le Xiao with a smile, but his eyes seemed a little dull, but no one noticed that a string of numbers flashed in the businessman's eyes.
