Plane Honest Merchant

Chapter 100 Ives' Contract

Tianchuang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. shines at the Tokyo Robot Exhibition, but they are not just for the show.Before participating in the exhibition, the public relations department has already made preparations.On the first day after the exhibition, before commercial opponents released "violent" remarks, major TV stations in Tokyo frequently broadcast advertisements.

Three series, the protagonists include the elderly, housewives, and children.The content is similar, basically:

"Oops, the thing is too heavy, what should I do if I can't move it?"

"It's okay, wear Tianchuang mechanical armor! Don't rely on others, Tianchuang is your best helper!"

This is basically the content of the ad. In the ad, old people, women, and children, wearing mechanical prosthetics, lift heavy objects with ease and smile at the camera.

Preconceived notions are very important. Soon after, public opinion spread that the products of Tianchuang Intelligent Technology Company were violent, dangerous, etc., but obviously Tianchuang Intelligent Technology Company's product positioning is very pleasing to people.For many elderly people and young women living alone, this is indeed a very practical auxiliary prop.

Afterwards, this series of commercials were filmed in different languages ​​and played in various countries.Locate mechanical prosthetics on home aids.Moreover, flexible mechanical prosthetic limbs are a dream tool for the disabled. After learning that they have the opportunity to be no different from normal people, even the media dare not resist their enthusiasm.

The initial "violent" remarks were quickly dispelled. In the past few days at the robot exhibition, Wang Qin, Shi Yue, Yan Shaojin, and two senior executives, just signed the contract and signed it.My voice is hoarse because of the long negotiation.Only Su Zhuo easily researched in the room holding the armor transformed by Ives.

The mechanical prosthetics were modified by the technical department of the electronics factory, and the original mechanical prosthetics were enlarged so that normal people could reach in and manipulate them.Originally, it was simply considering the source of customers. After all, there are only a small number of disabled people in the world. A mechanical prosthesis can be used for at least five years, and the sales channels are too narrow. After the expansion, the power of mechanical and pneumatic power has been strengthened, and it is very convenient for carrying things and self-defense. .Ordinary people can also use it.

Later, after Wang Qin and others cooperated with Ives, Ives transformed an armor on a whim.It is also the only one, purely for performance at the exhibition.In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Tianchuang Company only sells a single robotic arm, so as not to be caught by commercial opponents who are "violent" and "dangerous".

Su Zhuo took the armor back to the hotel and took it apart, and found that there were several vacant grooves in the armor.Su Zhuo compared the shape of the groove, as long as the relevant accessories are installed in the groove, it seems that it can immediately become the weapon that Ives showed that night.

"Don't worry, the products our company sells don't have these things." Shi Yue comforted Su Zhuo: "We can only make products for civilian use, and for military use... anyway, it's none of our business."

The cooperation between the company and the military is strictly responsible.For the mechanical prosthetics presented to the military, in order to avoid corruption, Tianchuang Intelligent Company asked the military for the list of disabled soldiers, and then sent them one by one to ensure that every retired soldier could receive it.

This kind of behavior undoubtedly angered some people. Fortunately, Yan Shaojin himself belonged to a military family, and his family strongly supported his behavior, and he was praised by many military and political leaders. Those people could do nothing but get angry.

As for the transformation of mechanical prosthetics for military use, it was also because Ives, an arms dealer, bought a batch of goods and put them into the arms market after modification, so the military discovered that such weapons still exist.

So now Tianchuang Company has also signed a contract with the military to provide a large number of mechanical prosthetics to the military. As for how to transform them, it is a matter of the arsenal.Anyway, Tianchuang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. can only sell products for civilian use—and in order not to be transformed into weapons by other countries, the mechanical prosthetics sold overseas are forced to adjust their technology, and their flexibility and strength are more than one level behind.But it is enough for ordinary people.

In order to let Su Zhuo understand the company's recent developments, Wang Qin, Shi Yue, and Yan Shaojin spent a whole night explaining to Su Zhuo.Su Zhuo still knows a little about business, but he doesn't know anything about other aspects. Cooperation with the military is a long way to go for a common man like him.After listening to the company affairs reports of the three friends, Su Zhuo, who was completely unconscious, scratched his head and said, "You are so powerful, I don't seem to be able to help you with anything."

"...No, as long as you are good, you will be of great help."

What the three of them didn't tell Su Zhuo was that he had been noticed by the military's Science and Technology Department.If it weren't for the fact that he was too young and there was an unknown Ives around him, the military would probably have sent someone to contact him long ago.

Even so, the military's science and technology department still provided some help to Su Zhuo.

The Asia-Pacific College Student Robot Contest is over, and it's summer vacation. The members of the ROBOCON preparation team had long been exempted from the final exam by the school. After participating in the robot exhibition, the group disbanded and went home after returning to school.

Su Zhuo finally ushered in a rare free time. He originally planned to go home, but his parents told him on the phone that the house at home had been demolished and was about to be rebuilt. Zhuo stays in City A and learns how to do business with his friends, even if he helps out with errands, so as not to be dismissed by his friends as being lazy.

"...Mom, I'm also the boss, so I don't need to do odd jobs."

"What can you say, the boss can be lazy? We don't know your personality yet. Your company must be run by friends. If you are lazy because of your status, what if your friends don't want to take you?"

"...Yeah, I get it." In the past, Su Zhuo felt that such instructions from his parents were appropriate, and he should do things like sweeping the floor and cleaning the table.Now probably because of the improved knowledge, when I listen to it again, there will be a subtle feeling.With a broadened vision, I also understand that no matter how hard and diligent I do these chores, I can't show my ability, so how can I be recognized by others.But I still answered seriously, so that my parents can feel at ease.

After Wang Qin and the others participated in the Tokyo exhibition, except for Yan Shaojin who came back to manage the company, Shi Yue and Wang Qin flew to the United States and Germany to inspect the market respectively.The three friends were so busy that he was too lazy.

Unlike the low price of mechanical prosthetics, the price of Tiger Robot is very, very high.Originally, Su Zhuo made it because someone proposed to buy a bodyguard robot for 500 million yuan, but now 500 million yuan is probably out of reach.

If there is a complete design drawing, the mass production of the tiger robot is no problem at all, but the company's planning department still adopts the hunger sales method.The factory only produces one tiger robot a month, and you need to pay a deposit to queue up to order.If you want to buy the tiger robot made by Su Zhuo himself, you need to add another 200 million, and the completion time is uncertain.

Even so, the orders for the tiger robot made by Su Zhuo are all scheduled for next year, which really puzzles Su Zhuo.

"As long as there are no mistakes in the design drawings, what the factory makes is the same as what I make. If you are worried, I will personally inspect the robot when it leaves the factory to ensure the quality of the tiger robot. There is no need to wait for me, right?"

"Because customers trust your technology more than the factory. And the custom-made robot bodyguards are more reassuring for them."

"Then I'll do it quickly? With the help of the factory's machinery and technicians, at least three robot tigers can be made in a month." Su Zhuo said very professionally.

"That's not necessary." Yan Shaojin shook his head: "It's enough for you to make one for a month or two. If you're really busy, you don't have to. Even if you earn less, it can't take up your time. I think you are always reading materials , there is still a lot to learn, right?"

Su Zhuo nodded: "I have read all the basic materials given by the professors, and now I am studying other research materials, and I find that I still don't understand a lot."

"Then you learn slowly." Yan Shaojin patted his head: "Don't worry about the company's affairs anymore, we don't need to develop new products at the moment, you can do research or read books in the laboratory, you can also play OK, don't work too hard."

Su Zhuo smiled and nodded: "Yeah."

After knowing that Su Zhuo would not go home during the summer vacation, Ives took Su Zhuo to live in his villa.Su Zhuo felt ashamed that Ives had been here for so long and that he had never played with him.After moving there, he put down his research and played with Ives for a few days.

It's a pity that although he studied at University A for a year, he hardly ever left the school.Except for the city center and the wholesale market, Su Zhuo's understanding of City A is not as good as Ives, but Ives became his guide.

After playing with Su Zhuo for a few days, Ives is going to go back to his own world.After all, he is the king of a plane, and he cannot leave for too long.The development of the forces on the earth is low-key and stable, and there is a loyal Franz management, and he does not need to monitor it all the time.

When I came here last time, Ives used an energy disintegrator to divide himself into particles to smuggle in. This time, I can only cross the barrier of the plane in this way.At this time, if someone destroys the energy disintegrator, Ives will die.

Fortunately, Su Zhuo was someone he trusted. Ives took out the energy disintegrator from the gemstone ring on his thumb without any doubt, activated it and put himself in it.Su Zhuo watched a person being decomposed into light spots starting from the feet. He was a little scared at first, but after the shock, another reaction was that he wanted to take it apart and study it.

But just thinking about it, Ives is still inside!

Carefully picking up the energy disintegrator and entering the plane trading system, Su Zhuo asked Mu: "Mu, when does Edie usually come?"

In order to welcome Ives back at any time, Edie would come over every day, and sometimes report something for Su Zhuo to convey.However, Edie's ability is very strong, it seems that Ives never needs to make a decision, and always only reports the results of the treatment, which makes Su Zhuo admire.Ives is very strong, even his [Envoy] is also very powerful.

"Probably at night, he doesn't come at a fixed time." Mu said, "I don't like Ives, destroy the energy disintegrator, Edie won't know!"

"No!" Su Zhuo refused forcefully, hugging the energy disintegrator tightly.

"I'm kidding," Mu said.

"Liar, you were serious just now!"

We have known Mu for almost a year, even with the electronic voice of the tablet, Su Zhuo can still hear the emotion contained in his words.Twilight clearly really wanted to kill Ives.

"Well, I hate him." Mu looked at Su Zhuo and sighed: "Forget it, since it's your own choice."

As a [messenger], even if he doesn't demand how strong his master is, he doesn't want to see him being eaten to death.But since Su Zhuo chose Ives himself, he could only tolerate it.

Because he didn't know when Edie would come over, Su Zhuo waited in the plane trading system, sorting out the goods in the store by the way.Recently, I have been busy with robot competitions, and have not purchased goods for a long time. The stores have basically sold out, and the saplings have long since disappeared. I have to find time to purchase.

Holding the energy disassembler blankly, he waited for a long time. At night, Edie came and received the energy disassembler, and Su Zhuo returned to the real world.As soon as I came out, I found that it was already dark outside, and my stomach was growling with hunger.No.[-] was beside the bed, pulling his trousers and calling, "Master, you are a sound sleeper, I can't even wake you up, I'm so worried."

"Sorry." Su Zhuo patted his head and went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Both Yihao and Baihu were taken home, Yihao still hated Baihu, and made trouble for Baihu from time to time, and was stepped on by Baihu.Although there is always No. [-] noisy voice around him, Su Zhuo still feels empty and lonely while sitting at the dining table alone for dinner.

After Ives left, Su Zhuo spent three days making several trips to wholesale trading markets and warehouses to replenish snacks, cosmetics and saplings, and also tried to buy some handicrafts and put them in the store.After that, I went to a few musical instrument stores, bought all kinds of common guitars, violins, zithers, flutes, Xiao and other instruments, and made a deal with Kai.

After dealing with the matter of the plane store, Su Zhuo plunged into the computer and studied the research materials given to him by the professors.After staying at home for a whole week, I suddenly received a call from Professor An, informing him to go to Nan'an City to participate in a research study.

After Su Zhuo agreed, he hung up the phone in doubt.In fact, when he just returned to China, he called Professor An.Before, Professor An told him to call after participating in the competition and give him a chance.

But when Su Zhuo called, Professor An didn't mention anything other than praising him.Su Zhuo thought that Professor An probably didn't like his performance, so he didn't plan to call him.Unexpectedly, he was suddenly notified to come to participate in research and study.

Su Zhuo didn't specifically inquire about Professor An's identity, but just looking at the attitudes of the professors and the principal on the day of the thesis defense, he knew that his identity was not simple, and the research he presided over was certainly not simple.Su Zhuo is full of expectations to be able to participate in Professor An's research, even if it's just doing odd jobs at the side.

After hanging up the phone, Professor An breathed a sigh of relief.Su Zhuo's performance in the Asia-Pacific University Robot Contest surprised him. Although Su Zhuo was still too young, he wanted to focus on cultivating this potential child.

But his proposal to let Su Zhuo come for an internship was refuted by several professors who cooperated with him. When they heard that Su Zhuo was only 18 years old and a freshman, they disagreed.Even publishing a few papers can't explain anything. Anyway, this is not a school, and they don't allow their research room to become a learning place for children.

Professor An persuaded him a few times. These professors are all his colleagues, and they can't order them. They are more stubborn than him in certain things.After repeated persuasion to no avail, Professor An could only give up regrettably.Unexpectedly, they suddenly received an order from above asking them to accept a group of intern assistants, among them was Su Zhuo's name.

Professor An checked the files of these intern assistants a little. Basically, everyone has won some awards and published some papers in the world.The oldest is only 24 years old, and the youngest Su Zhuo is only 18 years old. They are a group of young people with great potential.

But Professor An had a vague intuition that the issuing of this order might have something to do with Su Zhuo?

Su Zhuo was ignorant of everything behind it. After receiving the notice from Professor An, Su Zhuo was very happy.I saw Ives again that night, and Ives was still dealing with the affairs of the royal family, so he took time to come up to see Su Zhuo.

After learning that Su Zhuo was going to participate in research and study, Ives was silent for a while, and asked: "Since it is an important research, there must be many capable people in it?"

"Yeah!" Su Zhuo nodded.

"A freshman like you, who won the championship once and only published two or three papers, suddenly parachuted in, even if it was just doing odd jobs, wouldn't those people have any objections?"

"...." Su Zhuo frowned slightly: "I think there must be."

Facing the possible unfavorable situation, Su Zhuo is no longer as anxious as before because he was worried about being hated by others, but only frowned with some distress.Ives looked at Su Zhuo, his eyes gradually softened.

"Shall we make a contract, then?"

"Ah?" Su Zhuo looked up at him suspiciously.

"No matter what method you use, if you can make the people participating in this research agree with you and convince you, I will give you a huge reward."

"It's very difficult, Ives." It's not that Su Zhuo belittled himself, it's like you're new to a company, and it's impossible to convince the boss and old colleagues of the company without spending a few years.People don't treat you as a newcomer to bully you, it's good enough to treat you as your peers.

This is especially the case in academia, where everything depends on experience and qualifications, and only older scholars can be widely respected. Younger scholars, no matter how many international awards they have won or how many papers they have published, do not dare to make too much publicity.For a student of Su Zhuo's age, if people ask him to help him run errands, it is a kind of value, not to mention convincing.

He only has some ability in robot making, but he basically relies on self-study. As Professor An said, his knowledge is not systematic and too complicated.And this time he didn't even know what kind of research he was participating in, so how could he have the confidence to be recognized and convinced!

"But even if someone hates me, I won't be affected." Su Zhuo said seriously: "I planned to study this time, it doesn't matter even if I am called to do odd jobs, I am mentally prepared."

Ives chuckled: "You think too simply. If someone doesn't like you, they will definitely trouble you in various ways. It is possible to hinder your study and even drive you out of the laboratory? Just because You are too young, so you can't study honestly, don't you feel very unwilling?"

From what I said, it seems that Su Zhuo has been bullied and tortured by others, and then kicked out of the gate.Su Zhuo frowned: "There may not be such a thing, it's just speculation."

"Half chance, right?"

"……Um."

"Then why don't you want to give it a try? If you participate in this research, everyone in the laboratory welcomes you, and I lose. But if someone doesn't like you, you are not allowed to escape or back down. Beat him and please him Or subdue him, as long as he can make the other party agree with you, I will give you a reward."

"Not to mention anything else, just being troubled by others is enough to delay your study time. It's rare to have the opportunity to participate in a formal research experiment, and you don't want to be disturbed every now and then, do you?"

Su Zhuo, who was still a little hesitant, nodded immediately when he heard what Ives said.To shine brightly in Professor An's laboratory, to subdue others and so on, he does not have such energy, nor does he have such confidence.But he never wants anyone to interrupt his study.

"Then, officially sign the transaction contract. During the period of your participation in the research, the [Envoy] will faithfully record all your performance, and if you pass the test, I will pay you a reward. If you fail, I will be rude to you. "

"You're welcome?" Su Zhuo asked.

"%&&**@#$%." Ives replied, his eyes darkened.

Su Zhuo tilted his head: "I don't understand."

"This is the language of my plane world. If you can't do it, then you will understand the meaning, and I will write it on the contract. Mu, %&*%$$%&*@#%%@&**! "

Ives didn't know what to say to Mu, Mu coldly snorted and shut his mouth.Su Zhuo looked at Mu suspiciously, then at Ives.Although he didn't understand, Su Zhuo trusted Ives, didn't think Ives would do anything to hurt him, and didn't get to the bottom of it, so he signed a transaction contract with Ives.

It was getting late, Su Zhuo said good night to Ives and Mu, and returned to the real world.Open your eyes, take a shower, sleep, lie on the bed and read the materials, halfway through, suddenly ah.

Even if he suddenly ran into Professor An's laboratory and was hated by others.He can also find a way to avoid, avoid that person, there is no need to please, subdue or something to make others agree with him.This takes more energy and wastes study time.

"With Su Zhuo's character, if he is bullied, he will probably avoid it directly...or maybe he won't notice it at all." Looking at Su Zhuo's leaving figure, Mu said quietly, and turned to look at Ives: "But using this kind of thing to force him, do you have any face?"

Ives raised the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong? I believe he can grow into a beautiful star stone. If he fails, I will earn it. The contract is based on it!"

It's strange to think that you will be bullied before joining the laboratory, and then subdue the other party.Su Zhuo is not an idiot. After thinking about it all night, he realized that Ives would back down and avoid him when he was afraid of being bullied. This is indeed his way of dealing with things.At most, he is not afraid of people now. If he is hated by others, he will not quarrel, and he does not have the confidence to make the other party like him.What else can I do but avoid it.

Ives probably made this contract to make his character tougher, but Su Zhuo really didn't have confidence.I hope Professor An's institute doesn't have such people, he really just wants to study in peace.
