Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 426 Scalpers and whether they regret it

The three of them chatted in the conference room until the evening before finalizing a rough plan.

BYI spent the money and equipment to set up a new factory. The majority of the work was done by BYAT, and even the location was ready. It was right next to the BYAT main factory, maximizing the advantages of large-scale manufacturing.

Choose between "Military UAV Research Institute" or "Furui Technology", accounting for 49%. Wang Chuanfu insisted on 51%.

This new factory only produces the main body of the drone and does not involve the actual installation of weapons and platforms. It is actually the plan proposed by Zhou Rui before, but the factory management and supervision rights can all be entrusted to the final assembly.

In this way, a new factory that did not involve confidentiality issues but actually belonged to the military industry system was born.

This factory essentially has no access to any secrets, but it can actually serve the military industry and is included in the jurisdiction system.

It just requires the general assembly to coordinate the "license" issue.
It has to be said that although Wang Chuanfu is an engineer, he is good at business.

After this operation, all three parties benefited. The final assembly achieved the lowest installation cost while ensuring stability, saving money and trouble.

Fului Technology got half the factory for free.

BYD, on the other hand, got on the line of final assembly, added a layer of gold equipment, and obtained a valuable but unmarketable military industry license. It received orders for drones without fail, and at most it increased its initial investment.

Even this initial investment is controllable. The first batch of military drone orders may not be large, but the licenses are real things and are hard to find.

Zhou Rui had to admire Wang Chuanfu's thinking.

Sometimes the same thing, if you change the path, the whole effect will change drastically.

Yang Rubin has initially approved the proposal. He will discuss it internally after returning and will also visit the BYAT factory in Shencheng. Of course, Wang Chuanfu agrees with both hands and even invites Zhou Rui to go with him.

He owed Zhou Rui a big favor this time. Zhou Rui had already given him civilian orders, and tried to find ways to get military orders to him, and now he was involved in the final assembly line.
I owe a lot of this favor.

Zhou Ruidao: "I don't necessarily have to go. If necessary, I can send someone from the company on a business trip."

The three shook hands and went downstairs together. Yang Rubin suggested going to the "flagship store" to have a look.

Zhou Rui said: "I guess there are a lot of people, but it's okay to take a look when passing by. You guys wait a moment while I change clothes."

Five minutes later, Zhou Rui walked out of the office again, already wearing a "nerd suit."

Yang Rubin and Wang Chuanfu were stunned for a while.

"You don't want to be recognized? Wouldn't it be better to wear a mask?"

Zhou Ruixin said wearing a mask has no experience value.
When the lanterns came on on University Road, young men and women came out to play, and the whole street had a very dense flow of people.

But throughout the whole day, the most handsome guy on the street was the "Enlightenment Smart" offline flagship store.

Some students queue up here when they get up in the morning to buy breakfast. After a day of classes, they still queue up when they go out to eat in the evening.

Even people who didn't pay attention to it now became curious. Some young people couldn't walk past this place. They stood there and searched for what "enlightened intelligence" was, and then they saw all kinds of things going viral on the Internet. In the video, I stood there and yelled, "Fuck you."

There were even people joining the queue.

Wang Tao had adopted a control mode in the morning, putting people in one by one, and giving orders to those waiting in line outside. However, by evening, there was no more goods left.

Excluding the more than 200 units that were rushed out in the morning, Wang Tao's plan after the control is to sell another 500 units today, and the same every day in the future.

Although the one-person-in-one-out strategy makes the store more orderly, the queue time outside is extremely long. Some people have no intention of leaving quickly after coming in. They can have fun at the product experience area on the second floor, or find The resident engineer asked the parameters in detail.

This allows 500 units to last from morning to night.

The most outrageous person has stayed in there from morning to night, and even ordered "Are you hungry" takeout at noon, hoping to spend the whole day in there.

But for some people, the longer the queue, the more excited they become.

When Zhou Rui and the others passed by, they happened to encounter an unexpected incident.

Outside the store, Wang Tao was chatting with someone.

"Go away, you are not welcome!"

"Why? Your family owns this street!"

Zhou Rui did not step forward rashly, but called someone out from the store and asked, "What's going on?"

Only when the man came out did he dare to confirm that he was his own boss, and said: "This man is a scalper, and he is part of a gang. He lined up several numbers for us, and then hawked food along the street." The man also said: "The most outrageous thing is that he He used the number in the front row to change the number in the back row. When the number in the back row was about to be called, he could change to the number in the back row. He spent a whole day doing business without capital, blocking customers leaving the store to collect, harassing Can. A few hundred meters away, some young students were timid and could only sell what they had just bought.”

Zhou Ruixin said that this was really a heifer making a railing, it was so awesome!

"Can't you drive me away?"

The employee sighed: "Mr. Wang has tried several times. They have a group of four or five people, and they just hang around here. Isn't it too urgent now?"

This kind of people have long been accustomed to being driven away, and they all have the mentality of being beaten to death. This street is indeed not opened with "enlightenment and wisdom", and it cannot stop these people from coming.

If there had been anything extreme, this group of people might have become even more enthusiastic, shouting and making noise.

You see, what you say comes from what you say.

Wang Tao was really upset after enduring it for a day. He pushed and shouted to drive the scalper away. The man shouted directly: "Come and take a look! The 'Kai Zhi Smart' store is bullying customers! Ordinary people are not allowed to queue up." ! Still beating people!"

How could Wang Tao, a technical geek, stand up to this? His face suddenly turned red and he clenched his fists tightly, ready to explode in the next moment.

At this moment, a hand pressed down on his shoulder. The powerful force made him a little shocked. He turned around to identify it and saw that it was his boss. He gasped and said: "Mr. Zhou, these guys are bullying people too much!"

Zhou Rui pulled Wang Tao away a little. This kind of person was getting more and more noisy, and then said:
"Next time you encounter this situation, call the police station directly and tell them that there is a large flow of people here. Ask the police station to come out to maintain order. There are one or two policemen standing here, which will be more effective than you going up to reason."

Wang Tao said angrily: "Then what should we do now?"

Zhou Rui pointed at the team and said: "Register the mobile phone numbers of all the people queuing up. The mobile phone numbers must be checked when entering the store. If the mobile phone number does not match the number, they will not be allowed in. Just do it, and they will know it on their own. Disperse."

Wang Tao clapped his hands: "Yes! That makes sense!"

When Wang Tao asked someone to register the phone number, Zhou Rui turned to Yang Rubin and Wang Chuanfu and said, "It's ridiculous. This is the first time the company is selling to the public. It lacks experience."

Wang Chuanfu said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do about it. The scalpers can't take care of it. I remember one time when my sister-in-law went to see a doctor in Shencheng, she was also very angry with the scalpers."

"But the prerequisite is that the sales prospects of 'Enlightened Intelligence' are good, and scalpers will appear. We are still a little envious."

Zhou Ruitan said: "This kind of 'goodness' is not necessary. The behavior of scalpers will eventually turn into dissatisfaction in the market and increase the cost for consumers to obtain products. If a small amount adds up, it will have a negative impact."

Sure enough, after Wang Tao and the people in line registered everyone's phone number, the scalpers stopped. There must still be people like them in the queue, but the business of selling accounts cannot be done.

As for those who are blocking the door of the store to collect goods from students, I can only hope that the police from the police station will have a certain deterrent effect tomorrow. This thing is even harder to control.
After all, the appearance of "Enlightened Intelligence" is too stunning, but the sales channels are too few. Increasing production is one thing, and offline product stores will also need to expand in the future.

The three of them continued to move forward and walked out of Daxue Road. Yang Rubin suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, do you regret doing this kind of public sale?"

In his eyes, scientists like Zhou Rui, who are astonishingly talented, are best obsessed with technological breakthroughs. Intervening in mundane matters will ultimately distract a lot of energy.

Today’s scalpers are just the tip of the iceberg, and there will still be many problems in the future of “enlightened intelligence”.

Zhou Rui thought carefully and shook his head.

"UAVs are mass creations, and they are ultimately the same as 'power'. Well, you know, unlike those things, only when the manufacturing scale is large and more suppliers are supported can we reverse technology iterations and achieve long-term positive results." Feedback will ultimately push everyone forward, and will ultimately greatly enhance the industrial potential of 'military'."

"For example, the 'ball' I showed before, I can make that thing myself, but there is no large-scale manufacturing. This thing is just a toy at most. On the other hand, if the entire industry has a complete chain, my research and development capabilities can drive Only by converting the following suppliers can we have the opportunity to enter thousands of households."

"What happened in Chexian County taught me that technology must be applied to society, improved in society, and promoted in society to be meaningful."

Wang Chuanfu also praised: "Mr. Zhou's idea is right. The industry chain is only powerful when it moves forward collaboratively. I have always told people in the company that you can't build a car behind closed doors, but you certainly can't build a good car." , we can’t make cars that are better than the previous generation.”

"Some of Mr. Zhou's inventions cannot be immediately transformed into mass manufacturing, but as the industrial chain matures, the following reactions, experience, and motivation will become stronger and stronger."

Yang Rubin thought for a moment and nodded.

Also some self-deprecating.

I still remember when I first met Zhou Rui, I said: Times have changed, and we no longer need scientists to conduct research in the Gobi Desert.

But in fact, I also have some limitations in perspective.

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "After talking so much, I'm feeling hungry. Let's go have a meal first."

Wang Chuanfu smiled and said: "Is there anything delicious around Fuda? Mr. Zhou will take us to look for it."

Zhou Rui pointed to a road: "There is a 'Good Neighbor Sichuan Restaurant' over there. The taste is always good, especially the twice-cooked pork."
